The Rose That Withered

A week ago, Seo Si-yeon had a home, a school, and a life that-while imperfect-was hers.

Then her mother got married second time.
But the family into which she married isn't normal.....

As secrets simmer behind closed doors and emotions clash under the same roof, boundaries blur, past trauma resurfaces, and forced proximity begins to change everyone-slowly, painfully, inevitably.
