Ryuu belongs to a rare class of mixed breeds, his father being a warlock and his mother being a dragon. All he wishes for is to live his life out peacefully as a humble cafe owner, but his restaurant is struggling with bills due to its lack in popularity.
He needs to work fast in order to keep his dream job afloat, and his golden opportunity seems to appear out of nowhere in the form of four, unique men that stumble into his life. However, he’ll find himself in a situation where he’s never been before—falling in love was never part of his life-long plan, but fate says otherwise.
