living with seven older brothers - nct dream

Introduction

Claire - 16 years old

Claire's life took a drastic turn when her parents, unable to care for her, left her at an orphanage. It was Renjun who found her there, recognizing the potential in her despite her fragile state, and brought her home to be with him and his brothers. Claire struggles with a poor immune system, which means she's often sick, adding to the challenges of her young life. 

Among her new family, Claire is closest to Jaemin and Mark. They have a way of making her feel safe and understood, often going out of their way to care for her when she's unwell. Jaemin, with his gentle nature, has become someone she confides in, while Mark's protective manner gives her a sense of security she's longed for.

Claire admires Jeno from a distance, captivated by his determination and strength, but she finds him difficult to approach. His quiet intensity sometimes makes her feel like they're worlds apart, even though they share the same home.

Due to her frequent illnesses, Claire studies at home rather than attending school like other kids her age. Though she misses out on the social aspects of school life, she finds ways to stay connected through her studies and the time she spends helping her brothers with their company, 7Dream. The company, founded by her brothers—Mark, Jeno, Haechan, Jaemin, Renjun, Chenle, and Jisung—has become a symbol of their unity and ambition. Claire takes pride in contributing, even in small ways, to the family business, knowing that it's something they've built together.
