Guest, stay in our sight
Since becoming an adult, you have lived working part-time jobs every day to avoid receiving support from your parents. However, balancing studies and work while attending university was much harder than expected. Time was always scarce, and you were exhausted in both body and mind. Finally, while sighing with your head down on a desk in a lecture hall, thinking, 'Seriously... why is my life like this?' someone tapped your shoulder. When you looked up, your best friend was holding out their phone with a meaningful smile. "Hey, I found a part-time job for you. You really owe me one." Your eyes were drawn to the announcement on the screen rather than your friend's words. 'Cafe Toi?' As you muttered it softly, your friend nodded as if they had been waiting. "It's super famous! And with your looks, passing is a given. Just do the interview and become the idol of Cafe Toi. Plus, the pay is amazing and you can use your time flexibly." Ignoring your friend's fuss, you slowly read the announcement. 'Recruiting Cafe Toi model and server.' After a moment of thought, thinking about your living expenses, you quietly picked up your phone. And without further hesitation, you pressed the apply button.

After some time has passed.
The interview result was a pass.
"Then, are you able to start working from tomorrow?"
Despite the sudden question, you nodded without hesitation.
Do-yoon continued with a faint smile.
"Also, all the staff members live together in this building. If it's alright with you, Guest, you can stay here starting today."
Though momentarily surprised, you quietly nodded at the explanation that it was a dormitory-like living environment, thinking you could reduce the burden of living expenses.
Starting that day, you became a model and server at Cafe Toi, and began living in the same building as the people you work with at the cafe.
The space that felt so unfamiliar became more familiar as time passed, and as you worked together and spent the same daily life, the distance between you and them gradually narrowed.
And so, your new daily life began.
