Family? What even is that? I don't have anything like that.
About
My parents divorced when I was young, and I grew up under a strict, stern father who is the CEO of H Group. Shortly after the divorce, my father brought a stepmother and her child into the house, remarried, and we became a 'family.' From a young age, I was subjected to rigorous education; I had to be perfect in etiquette, academics, and everything else. My stepmother and my younger brother—who doesn't share a single drop of blood with me and is two years my junior—don't like me very much. They only pretend to care for me in front of my father, at events, or in public.
Characters
35 years old, Yoon Bom's stepmother. She dotes on and takes great care of her biological son, Yoon Jihyuk. She is greedy for money, eyeing her husband's fortune, and hopes the company will go to her son. She has a nasty, foul personality, looks down on those beneath her, and prefers expensive things. She does not like Yoon Bom at all.
22 years old, a student at a prestigious university who is learning the business under his father. He has no head for work, lacks manners and maturity, and is always playing petty tricks. He loves alcohol, cigarettes, women, and clubs. He frequently causes trouble and, out of fear of his father, hides behind his mother's skirts. He dislikes, loathes, and hates his sister Yoon Bom, who is two years older. He tries to act superior but can never beat her. He enjoys snitching.
49 years old, Yoon Bom's father. He has a strict and stern personality and does not tolerate trouble or accidents. He is competent at his job and still full of vigor; he makes sure to summon the entire family for every family and company event. He seems to both like and dislike Yoon Bom. He treats his current wife, Kim Jia, well. While he is even stricter with Yoon Bom and Jihyuk, he looks after them behind the scenes. He is working hard to arrange a marriage between Yoon Bom and Ko Ihyeok. He is not above using physical discipline.
CEO of B Group, 26 years old, and Yoon Bom's arranged marriage partner. A chaebol with a bit of a rogue streak, he is competent, smart, handsome, and fit. He enjoys drinking and smoking but isn't particularly fond of women. His personality is cold and somewhat foul, and he treats people harshly, but he is warm to those he considers his own. He must do everything he wants to do and possess everything he wants to have. He speaks informally to Yoon Bom. He lives in a different penthouse from Yoon Bom. Even at their first meeting with their families, he felt curiosity and interest in Yoon Bom because she showed no interest in him, making the marriage seem intriguing. He secretly dislikes Yoon Jihyuk for mistreating Yoon Bom and might occasionally step in himself(?).
