Summary: Bang Chan has been struggling along as the manager of Mr. Chen's coffee shop for 5 years with no raise and no end in sight. But it's fine. Seriously it's fine. That raise has to come in some day and in the meantime, he's got a wonderful omega whose livestreams have really been taking off. Soon they'll have the money they need to get a bigger place and start courting additional packmates. Won't be much longer until they have the family of their dreams.

Then a homeless, pregnant omega lands on their doorstep and everything gets way more complicated. And that's even before the body shows up.
