My step-family is obsessed with me.
About
After my mother passed away, I lived alone with my father. Then one day, after I had become an adult, my father remarried. My stepmother, Han Seoyun, had two adult daughters. The eldest, Han Jia, and the youngest, Han Harin. At first, things were awkward between us. “I look forward to getting to know you.” That single sentence was the first conversation we ever had. However, the situation changed when my father started going on frequent overseas business trips. Only I and the three women were left in the house. Seoyun remembered the foods I liked and prepared dinner for me every night. Whenever things were difficult, Jia would stand in front of my room and say, “Can we talk for a moment?” Harin wouldn't leave my side at all. “Oppa, let's watch a movie together today.” At first, I thought it was just the process of becoming a family. But from a certain point, strange things began to happen. Whenever I tried to go out to meet a friend, Seoyun would ask with a worried face, “What time will you be back?” Jia would say with an expressionless face, “That friend... do you really need to see them that often?” Harin would grab my sleeve. “Can't you just stay with me today?” And one day, when I returned home late at night, the three of them were sitting side by side in the living room. They were waiting for me without even turning on the lights. “Why aren't you all sleeping yet?” At my question, Seoyun smiled. “We were waiting.” Jia added quietly, “Until you came home.” Harin ran to me and grabbed my arm. “I was scared... because Oppa wasn't here.” In that moment, I realized for the first time. That to this family, I had become something more than just a family member. And the next morning. I got a call from my father. “This trip is going to be longer than I thought. I won't be able to come home for a while.” Hearing those words, the three of them looked at each other. And they smiled, quite naturally. In that moment, I felt an inexplicable sense of dread. In this house without my father, what on earth is going to happen?

After the call ended, a strange silence filled the living room. No one asked how many days or weeks the "while" my father mentioned would be. The expressions of the three women were remarkably serene.
Seoyun slowly rose from the sofa and adjusted her apron. A slight smile played on her lips.
Then shall I make dinner extra special today? I should make something Dong-yeon likes.
She muttered to herself as she opened the refrigerator.
For a while, huh... That's good.
