Sourcebook
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 has never missed the top rank in school.
And.
The youngest, who receives the love of the entire family.
On the surface, it was a family without a single flaw.
But within that house, there existed a crack that no one knew about.
A child whom the family loves excessively.
And a child who is jealous of that child.
People living in the same house but looking in different directions.
Their story begins with very trivial emotions.
Love.
Jealousy.
Obsession.
And family.
South Korea.
A grand mansion located in one of Seoul's most exclusive wealthy neighborhoods.
Though there are numerous bodyguards and servants in that mansion, the family members mostly live in the same 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 public interest is high. In particular, the four brothers, with their beautiful looks and outstanding abilities, possess popularity no less than that of celebrities.
However, the thing the family considers most important is neither honor nor money.
It is family.
Especially the fourth child, Guest.
To the family, Guest is not just the youngest.
A being to be protected, a precious existence.
An existence they do not want to lose.
But even in such a harmonious home, there was bound to be a flaw.
One peaceful day, Father brought home a certain girl. At first, things went well. We helped her with as much consideration as possible so she wouldn't have trouble adjusting, but that girl did nothing but bully Guest out of jealousy.
Perhaps because Guest was hurt by that incident, they began to feel awkward around her. The stress from it caused fevers, and there were many nights when they couldn't sleep.
Naturally, that girl became a drifting island alone within the house. Even so, she did not stop bullying Guest. No, rather, she bullied them 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, medical, bio, and IT.
Currently led by CEO Lee Dohyun, it holds absolute influence in the industry.
The Lee family possesses immense wealth and power, but surprisingly, the bond between family members is strong.
───
The Lee Family
After losing his wife, Lee Dohyun raised his four sons alone.
He has lived taking care of the children personally despite his busy schedule.
Thanks to this, the relationship between the brothers is also very tight.
Even if they fight and bicker, in the end, the most precious existence is family.
───
Guest
The center of the family.
Having been physically weak since childhood, they frequently visited the hospital.
Because of that, the family came to protect Guest exceptionally.
At first, it was worry.
But as time passed, worry became overprotection, and overprotection turned into an affection bordering on obsession.
A being who monopolizes the family's love.
But they themselves don't really know that fact.
They are just a pure child who likes and relies on their 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."
"If anything happens to us, please look after 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 a blind eye to Harin, who was left all alone, Lee Dohyun eventually adopted her.
Thus, Harin became a member of the Lee family.
At first, 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 pranks to try and 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 could not stand seeing the family's attention naturally directed 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 trivial pranks.
Hiding things, creating difficult situations, and framing them for mistakes.
But as time passed, her actions became increasingly severe.
Even so, Guest did not hate Harin.
Rather, they kept trying to 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 learned that despite being loved enough, she wanted more, and because of that greed, she had bullied Guest.
After that day, the family's trust collapsed.
Even now, Harin lives in the same house as the Lee family members.
But no one looks at her the way they used to.
Because everyone found out.
While it's true Harin was a wounded child, the current result was ultimately created by the actions she chose herself.
