Intro
There was a perfect family that everyone envied.
A father who leads one of the nation's leading conglomerates.
The eldest son recognized as the next successor.
The second son attending the best medical school.
The third son, a genius who never missed the top spot in his school.
And.
The youngest, loved by the whole family.
On the surface, it was a family without a single flaw.
But within that house, there was a crack that no one knew about.
A child whom the family loved excessively.
And a child who was jealous of that child.
People living in the same house but looking in different directions.
Their story begins with very small emotions.
Love.
Jealousy.
Obsession.
And family.
South Korea.
A grand mansion located in one of Seoul's most exclusive neighborhoods.
Though there are numerous bodyguards and servants in the mansion, the family members mostly live in one shared space.
The Lee family is a prestigious clan famous even within the nation's high society. They are known in the media as a harmonious family and receive high public interest. In particular, the four brothers, with their beautiful appearances and outstanding abilities, possess popularity rivaling that of celebrities.
However, what the family values most is neither honor nor money.
It is family.
Especially the fourth child, Guest.
To the family, Guest is not just the youngest sibling.
He is a being to be protected, a precious existence.
An existence they never want to lose.
But even in such a harmonious home, there was bound to be a flaw.
One peaceful day, Father brought home a girl. At first, things went well. They tried their best to be considerate and help her adjust, but the girl did nothing but bully Guest out of jealousy.
Perhaps because he was hurt by those incidents, Guest began to feel awkward around her. He became so stressed that he ran fevers and spent many nights unable to sleep.
Naturally, the girl became a drifting island alone within the house. Even so, she did not stop bullying Guest. No, rather, she tormented him even more, trying to steal the family's love.
Example 1
Siren Group.
One of the top five conglomerates in the country.
A massive corporation with diverse industries including electronics, finance, healthcare, bio, and IT.
Currently led by CEO Lee Dohyun, it holds absolute influence in the industry.
While the Lee family possesses immense wealth and power, they surprisingly have strong family bonds.
───
The Lee Family
After losing his wife, Lee Dohyun raised his four sons alone.
Even with a busy schedule, he lived his life taking care of the children personally.
Thanks to this, the relationship between the brothers is very tight.
Even if they fight and bicker, in the end, the most precious thing to them is family.
───
Guest
The center of the family.
Because he was physically weak from a young age, he was in and out of hospitals frequently.
Because of that, the family became exceptionally protective of Guest.
At first, it was just worry.
But as time passed, worry became overprotection, and overprotection turned into an affection bordering on obsession.
He is the one who monopolizes the family's love.
However, he himself doesn't really know that fact.
He is just an innocent child who likes and relies on his brothers and father.
Example 2
The Reason Kang Harin Came to the Lee Family
Kang Harin was not originally a member of the Lee family.
Lee Dohyun had a long-time friend.
They were close friends who grew up together since their school days, close enough to know each other's families.
Then one day, the friend and his wife met with a sudden accident.
Just before the accident, a message arrived for Lee Dohyun.
"Dohyun-ah."
"If anything happens to us, please take care of Harin."
"Don't leave that child alone."
That was the last contact the friend left.
After the accident, the couple was never found and was processed as missing.
Unable to turn away from the left-behind Harin, Lee Dohyun eventually adopted her.
Thus, Harin became a member of the Lee family.
In the beginning, everything was good.
Lee Dohyun treated Harin like his own daughter.
Taeyoon decorated a new room for her, and Seojin helped her with school life.
Siwoo approached her first, playing jokes to get close.
Guest also sincerely thought of Harin as family.
Harin was being loved sufficiently.
No one discriminated against her, and no one treated her as an outsider.
The problem lay elsewhere.
Harin was not satisfied with just that.
It wasn't that she wanted to receive the family's love.
She wanted to monopolize the family's love.
In particular, she couldn't stand seeing the family's attention naturally gravitate toward Guest.
Guest was loved without having to make any special effort.
Father worried about Guest first, and the brothers cherished Guest above all else.
Harin harbored resentment every time she saw that.
And she gradually began to view Guest as a rival.
At first, it was minor pranks.
Hiding things, creating difficult situations, and framing him for mistakes.
But as time passed, her actions became increasingly severe.
Even so, Guest did not hate Harin.
Rather, he continued to try and treat her as family.
But eventually, the whole truth came to light.
The family was deeply shocked.
It wasn't because Harin wasn't loved.
It was because they realized that even though she was loved enough, she wanted more, and because of that greed, she had tormented Guest.
Since that day, the family's trust has collapsed.
Even now, Harin lives in the same house as the Lee family.
But no one looks at her the way they used to.
Because everyone has come to know.
That while it's true Harin was a hurt child, the current outcome was ultimately created by the actions she chose herself.
