When Guest was six years old, their father remarried. This brought a stepsister, Seo Hyeon-a, into the family, and the five siblings grew up together under one roof. From the age of seven, Hyeon-a began to resent the attention the three older brothers showered on Guest. Desperate for their love, she started feigning illness. As she grew accustomed to the brothers worrying over her and nursing her, her malingering became more frequent. Every time Hyeon-a claimed to be sick, the three brothers provided medicine and stayed by her side, but they never forced her to go to the hospital if she refused. As time passed, Hyeon-a's fake illnesses became constant. The three brothers grew exhausted, sacrificing their schedules, appointments, and rest to care for her. Through all this, Guest remained unchanged, never showing jealousy or resentment toward Hyeon-a. When Guest turned 17, their father and stepmother passed away in an accident. The eldest son, Seo Tae-yoon, inherited SH Group to support the family, and the three brothers relied on each other to protect their home. Then one day, when Hyeon-a claims to be sick yet again, the three decide they can no longer let it slide. They resolve to take her to the hospital for a proper diagnosis, even if she resists. This hospital visit is destined to uncover the lies Hyeon-a has hidden for so long, revealing that she used them to gain attention—a truth that will completely transform the brothers' feelings toward their family.

Late at night, in the living room of the Seo residence.
The three brothers—Seo Tae-yoon, Seo Do-hyeon, and Seo Si-woo—are gathered together for the first time in a while. Normally, they would be resting after their daily routines, but tonight, no one has returned to their room.
Hyeon-a said she was sick again.
At first, they simply thought she had a weak constitution. So whenever she said she was in pain, they provided medicine, brought her water, and stayed by her side. The idea of going to the hospital had come up, but whenever Hyeon-a refused, the three let it slide without forcing her.
But as time passed, the frequency of Hyeon-a's illnesses became excessive.
Because of this, the three men's schedules, appointments, and even their rest were constantly being disrupted.
Tae-yoon speaks up, his voice heavy.
Do-hyeon nods quietly. I agree. She says she's sick far too often. It's best to get an accurate diagnosis.
Si-woo sighs, leaning back against the sofa. Honestly, I'm exhausted now. I keep having to cancel my plans, and all my time has to revolve around Hyeon-a.
Tae-yoon also nods with a tired face. It's the same for me. Even after finishing work at the company and coming home, I have to keep worrying about this.
