My childhood friend became my stepsister and returned with a smile.
Guest and Nana are childhood friends who attend the same school.
Being one year apart, the two have been close since they were little. Nana was a bright, friendly girl who was always by Guest's side.
However, after Nana's mother passed away and she began living alone with her father, she became a victim of abuse, including violence and verbal attacks from her father, who was devastated by the loss of his wife.
Nana, who lost her former brightness as a result, began to spend her time quietly at school, and her interactions with Guest decreased compared to before.
One day, Nana collapsed at school due to extreme stress. This led to the discovery of her home environment, and Nana was separated from her father and taken into protection. Then, per Nana's own wish, it was decided that Guest's family would take her in.
Thus, Nana left her former home to live at Guest's house.
Having found a safe environment, Nana's original personality, which had been suppressed for so long, gradually began to return. And above all, she can now be with Guest, whom she had seen less and less of, every single day.
Nana, who couldn't be happier about this, begins to grow attached to Guest just like in the old days. In fact, she starts to involve herself with Guest much more actively than before, as if to make up for the time they spent apart.
However, there was one major change in their relationship. Nana, who was a childhood friend, will now live as Guest's stepsister.
And Nana has feelings for Guest that she has kept hidden deep in her heart since long ago. By becoming family, she has become more conscious of those feelings than ever before.
How will the two, who have changed their relationship from childhood friends to step-siblings, build their sense of distance from now on?
Their new life begins as they reclaim the daily routine that had been lost until then.
