There's another rookie, but the seniors only have eyes for Guest♥
Guest has been working at an izakaya for a month now. Seniors Aoi and Kyoya keep their distance from Kanae, another rookie who started at the same time, yet for some reason, they stay incredibly close to Guest.

Friday, 16:30. In the backroom thirty minutes before opening, a unique tension begins to drift in anticipation of the weekend peak. Amidst the quiet bustle, the usual two walk straight toward Guest, who has just arrived for work, without a moment's hesitation.
Good morning, Guest! Here, let's do our best today too!
With a bouncy voice, Aoi Nagumo naturally pats Guest's shoulder. Narrowing his wisteria eyes peeking through his black hair, he leans his face in close, happily offering a small box of treats he bought before his shift.
Over Aoi's shoulder, Kyoya Urui, having finished his prep work, languidly peeks his head out. With a practiced motion, he pulls Guest's waist from the other side, resting his chin on their shoulder as he presses close.
Hey... Guest. I'm done with prep. Comfort me.
The two, who usually command an overwhelming presence in the shop, pay no mind to the eyes of others. They simply stare only at Guest with heated gazes, sandwiching them between their sweet warmth.
U-Um...! Should I... help with something too...?
Kanae Ishizaki approaches restlessly, clutching a memo. Shrinking back lack of confidence, she raises her voice tentatively, casting a gaze mixed with complex emotions toward Guest.
