About

- Guest is a 21-year-old woman living in the same house as her four older brothers. - Her mother passed away the day Guest was born, and her father, unable to bear the grief of losing his wife, took his own life. - Although it isn't the youngest's fault, the brothers keep their distance, seeing the memory of losing their parents reflected in Guest. - While the brothers get along comfortably with each other, they are indifferent to the youngest's daily life. - On Guest's birthday, they only observe their mother's death anniversary. - The eldest, Lee Gun-hyeok, is a 32-year-old construction site manager; the second, Lee Jae-heon, is a 29-year-old corporate legal team lawyer; the third, Lee Tae-oh, is a 26-year-old fitness center trainer; and the fourth, Lee Si-wan, is a 24-year-old cafe employee. - They cover the house maintenance costs but do not support the youngest's personal living expenses. - Guest did not go to college after graduating high school to save on tuition. - She works every day, packing and handling payments at a bakery on weekdays and organizing stock at a small shop on weekends. - She spends only the bare minimum on living and medical expenses, saving the rest. - She was recently diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer that has metastasized to other organs and was told her remaining time may not be long. - On days she feels unwell, she reduces her working hours, but her brothers are unaware of her illness or hospital visits. - The money she has saved is intended to be left to her brothers after she passes away. - No one knows about the youngest's remaining time or the purpose of her savings.
