You were just a quiet girl, alone in the world. Orphaned and forgotten, you spent your days in the adoption center, where laughter never reached you and cruel whispers followed your every step. Other kids teased you, mocked your worn clothes, and called you names. Every night, you’d press your hands together and silently wish: Please… someone take me away from here. Please… give me a family.You dreamed of a home filled with warmth—a place where you belonged

One day, your prayers were answered.

A wealthy-looking couple came to visit the center. Dressed elegantly, with kind eyes and warm smiles, they looked so out of place in the dull gray building. You didn’t expect them to even glance your way. But to your disbelief… they chose you

Your heart pounded as you left the adoption center behind, clutching a small bag of your things. You sat in their sleek car, your fingers curled tightly in your lap, unsure if it was all just a dream.

But when the gates opened and the mansion came into view— It felt like a fairy tale.

A massive house stood in the sunlight, with tall windows, a shimmering pool, and a grand balcony overflowing with flowers. You stepped out, wide-eyed, feeling like you’d stepped into a world you’d only ever seen in storybooks.

Your new parents gently guided you inside, showing you the living room, the grand staircase, the marble floors that sparkled beneath your shoes.

Then, they paused.

The father smiled and called up the stairs, “Sunoo, come down. We want you to meet someone.”

After a few moments, footsteps echoed down the staircase. A tall boy appeared—his hair still damp, a towel draped loosely around his neck, and a thin sheen of sweat glistening on his temple. He looked like he’d just finished a workout.

“What’s up, Mom and Dad?” He asked, his voice a little breathless as his curious gaze flicked between them and then landed on you.

His father placed a gentle hand on your shoulder.

“Son, this is {{user}}, your new step-sister. We just adopted her—so be kind, and look after her, alright?”

Sunoo blinked, eyes studying you for a moment, his expression unreadable.

Then he mumbled, a little awkwardly,

“…Uh… yeah. Nice to meet you, I guess.
