Short filmTranscript
00:00The movie begins with Ito, who is tearfully saying goodbye to her friends.
00:04She is about to leave the city and start a completely new life in a different house with
00:08a new father. Well, not exactly a real father, but her mother's husband. That means she now
00:14has to move in and live with him and his family. When Ito finally arrives at the house, she assumes
00:20that her stepfather might have one or maybe two children at most. But to her shock, she discovers
00:25that there are four boys living there, and all of them are younger than her. In other
00:30words, she has suddenly become the older stepsister to four different boys. On top of that, each
00:36of them has a completely different personality. The only thing they all have in common is that
00:41none of them really seems to care about her presence. The next morning, Ito wakes up early
00:45and decides to prepare breakfast for everyone. While she is serving the food, Ginny looks at
00:50her and says sarcastically,
00:52Don't act like the big sister here. You and I are basically the same age. Ito immediately
00:57replies, Excuse me, I'm older than you by one whole day. That gives me the right to
01:02be the older one. But anyway, forget all that nonsense. Just eat your breakfast quietly.
01:07After the three boys leave for school, Ito prepares another tray of breakfast and walks toward
01:12the room of Shen, the mysterious brother who always stays locked inside his room and never
01:17opens the door for anyone. She knocks again and again, but when she finally loses hope that he
01:23will answer, she simply leaves the tray in front of his door and heads out to go to her own
01:28school.
01:28By pure coincidence, however, she ends up walking with one of her stepbrothers on the way.
01:33Suddenly, he grabs her hand and quickly pulls her away before anyone at school notices them
01:39together and starts asking questions. After finishing their classes that day, the brothers
01:44stop by a supermarket to buy a few things the house needs. While they are there, Ben suggests
01:49to his brother that they should help their new older sister make some friends at her new school.
01:54But the brother shrugs and says, Mind your own business, she might turn out to be crazy.
01:59Later that evening, they return home and Ito prepares lunch for everyone. Each of the boys takes
02:04his plate and disappears into his own room. Ito can't help but feel worried about Shen,
02:09the one who always isolates himself. At that moment, Ginny tells her casually,
02:14As long as he eats breakfast, that's good enough. Don't overthink it. Ito looks at him in disbelief and
02:19says, How can you say that? Aren't we a family? We should care about each other. But Ginny responds coldly,
02:26We're not a family. And he's fine. He eats, doesn't he? What more do you want?
02:32The next morning, Ito wakes up early again and goes downstairs to prepare breakfast as usual.
02:38But this time, she finds Ginny already standing in front of the refrigerator. She rushes over,
02:43snatches the food from his hands and says cheerfully, Don't worry about it. I'll make breakfast for you.
02:48After finishing breakfast, she starts washing everyone's clothes and cleaning the house.
02:53The only person who seems to show her any sympathy is Ben, who complains to his older brother,
02:58At the very least, you should thank her. She works around the house like a robot all day.
03:04But Ginny becomes annoyed by Ito's behavior and confronts her, saying,
03:08Can you act a little more normal? Ito answers calmly,
03:11This is actually how I've always been. I'm not doing anything new.
03:15But Ginny snaps back angrily, Are you stupid or something? Do you really think
03:20we'll be happy if you do things nobody asked you to do? Ito lowers her head and says quietly,
03:25I don't think so. But anyway, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
03:30Then she quickly runs upstairs before anyone can see the tears forming in her eyes.
03:34A little while later, Ben comes to apologize on Ginny's behalf.
03:38I'm sorry if Gin treated you harshly. You know, we've never had a sister before,
03:42so he doesn't know how to deal with one. And ever since our mother died,
03:46he's taken on the role of protector. He keeps everything bottled up inside.
03:50Later that day, Ito goes to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner.
03:55There, she runs into Ginny again. She approaches him and says kindly,
03:59Let me help you carry those bags. They look heavy.
04:01He sighs and says, I was hoping to make you all a nice dinner, but never mind.
04:06As they walk home together, Ginny admits that he feels bothered watching her work so hard just to
04:11please them. Making breakfast, cooking lunch, washing, cleaning, doing everything just to earn
04:17their approval. Ito nods and says softly, You're right, but it's okay. What's done is done.
04:23When they return home, Ginny insists on cooking dinner himself. Everything goes smoothly at first,
04:28until he flips the food from the pan and accidentally burns it badly. Embarrassed,
04:33he tells everyone, I'm sorry I stepped into the kitchen. Tonight's dinner disaster is on me.
04:38But Ito quickly smiles and says, Why not just turn the food over and eat the other side?
04:44Let's pretend we didn't notice. Then she runs after the boys, trying to force them to eat anyway.
04:50During all of this, Shen is quietly watching them from a distance without anyone noticing.
04:55Eventually, he gets bored and disappears back into his room. The next day, Ito gathers the boys and
05:00says excitedly, Since we're all free, how about we go somewhere together during the summer vacation?
05:06It's our first holiday as a family. But the three older boys immediately avoid her. Even the youngest,
05:12Ron apologizes and runs away, saying he's busy. Ito sighs and mutters to herself,
05:18So the only hope left is that gloomy, miserable guy upstairs. She quickly writes a note and slides
05:24it under Shen's door, since he never talks to anyone. But the paper soon slides back out with
05:29one word written on it. Impossible. Confused, Ito goes downstairs and asks his brothers what exactly is
05:36going on with Shen and why he locks himself away all the time. She admits that she hasn't even seen
05:41his
05:41face yet. But they simply reply, That's between him and us. Just don't do anything reckless with him,
05:48especially. The following day, Ito is working in the garden when the intense sunlight suddenly makes
05:53her dizzy and she collapses. When she wakes up, she finds herself inside the house with a fan blowing
05:59nearby. Someone has also placed cold compresses on her forehead. And for the first time, she sees Shen.
06:06Surprised, she says, So you're Shen, the one everyone talks about? But he answers bluntly,
06:12You've got the wrong person. Then he immediately turns and runs back upstairs. However, Ito refuses
06:18to let him go that easily. She grabs some drinks and follows him. The moment he opens his door again,
06:23She quickly slips inside before he can close it. She starts walking around his room, giving her
06:29opinions about everything, even though he never asked. Finally, Shen says calmly, If you came to
06:35thank me for earlier, there's no need. I didn't do anything special. Honestly, I'm such a coward.
06:41Shen continues speaking, his voice trembling with shame. He admits that he is terrified of talking to
06:47strangers. Because of that fear, he couldn't even call an ambulance when Ito collapsed. Even though her
06:53condition had been very dangerous and she clearly needed to be taken to the hospital.
06:57I'm not the kind of person anyone can rely on, he says bitterly, just like everyone always says.
07:03But Ito immediately shakes her head and replies gently, On the contrary, you're the one who saved
07:09me. If it weren't for you, I might already be dead. Her words leave him stunned. For a moment,
07:15he can't even respond. Instead, he slowly sinks to the floor and begins crying quietly,
07:20overwhelmed by emotions he has kept buried for so long. After a while, he turns to his favorite escape,
07:27his online game, and begins playing as usual. But suddenly, Ito appears inside the game world with
07:33him. Smiling, she says, I thought you might be here so I kept searching until I found you. Yes,
07:38this is the first time we've really met, but honestly, this meeting is long overdue. After all,
07:43I'm supposed to be your older sister. So what do you say? Should we become friends? The two of them
07:49spend a long time talking through the game. At one point, Ito begins to worry that she might be
07:54bothering him. But Shen reassures her that he simply gets nervous when people are physically close
07:59to him or share the same room. I'm afraid I might say something wrong, he explains. Something that might
08:06upset them. Later that day, Jin returns home, but finds the house unusually quiet. Curious, he goes upstairs
08:13and knocks on Ito's door. When she doesn't answer, because she is completely absorbed in the game,
08:18he finally opens the door and walks in without waiting. Seeing her playing with Shen, he immediately
08:24frowns and says suspiciously, So you're secretly getting close to my brother behind my back.
08:30Are you trying to take advantage of him? Ito quickly apologizes. I'm sorry for going in,
08:35even though you warned me not to. It's just… I really felt sorry for him. Jin shrugs and replies
08:42bluntly, Don't worry about it, I never really considered you a proper young lady anyway.
08:47Then he explains that earlier that day he had gone to Shen's school to speak with his teacher.
08:52What he discovered shocked him. The teacher barely knew anything about Shen. He had never approached him,
08:58never talked to him, never tried to participate.
09:01All this time, Jin says quietly, I thought I was protecting him.
09:06He remembers the painful days when Shen used to attend school and was bullied and beaten by other
09:11students almost every day. Jin had always been the only one who stood up for him and defended him,
09:16but Shen eventually felt that Jin's constant interventions were only causing more trouble for
09:21everyone. So Shen made a difficult decision. He stopped going to school altogether, hoping that by
09:27removing himself from the situation, he would stop creating problems for his brother.
09:31While Jin is lost in these memories, something unexpected happens downstairs. Ito suddenly jumps
09:38up with excitement. She has finally won a game. She rushes out to celebrate with Shen. For a brief moment,
09:44he forgets his social anxiety and shares the happiness with her. But the moment he notices Jin watching
09:50them, embarrassment washes over him and he quickly retreats back into his room. This time,
09:56however, Jin follows him inside. He sits down beside his younger brother and begins speaking softly,
10:02trying to encourage him and build up his confidence. But Shen shakes his head and says gloomily,
10:07Don't make a big deal out of it. It's just a game. Jin stays beside him anyway. After a moment
10:14of silence,
10:15he finally apologizes for everything that happened in the past. He confesses that he has wanted to ask for
10:21Shen's forgiveness for a long time, but never knew how to say it. You could have ended up just like
10:27us,
10:27Jin says quietly. But you're not like that at all. You're different. You don't want to hurt anyone.
10:33Hearing this, Shen becomes deeply emotional. Tears begin streaming down his face as he remembers
10:39everything he went through. Jin pulls him into a comforting embrace and says, I'm only realizing now that
10:46I'm the one who caused you so much trouble. Not the other way around like you always believed. I hope
10:51you can forgive me. Shen shakes his head gently and replies, It wasn't your fault. Back then,
10:57I was happy that you protected me. I'm not angry with you at all. After the long moment of tears
11:03and
11:03hugs, they each return to their rooms. But Ito, who secretly witnessed Shen coming out of his room
11:09and sitting with his brothers again, even if only for a short time, feels incredibly happy. For the
11:16first time, it feels like the family might finally be healing. When summer vacation begins, the siblings
11:21decide to take a trip together to the village where Ito once lived. Everyone goes, except Shen,
11:27who chooses to stay home and study for his entrance exams so he can return to school again. When they
11:33arrive at the village, Ito runs into one of her childhood friends. She rushes over to greet him warmly.
11:38Shen, however, seems irritated by the boy's presence and keeps his distance throughout the day.
11:44The friend, however, doesn't take it personally. Instead, he quietly tells Shen something important.
11:49She's not the way she seems. She and her mother suffered a lot after her father left when she was
11:54young. If you ever decide you don't want her here, just tell me and I'll bring her back to live
11:59with
11:59us again. We care about her very much. Later, the group decides to play hide and seek. Everyone runs
12:05off in different directions to find hiding spots. By pure coincidence, Ito and Jin end up hiding
12:11together in the forest. Neither of them wants to move and risk being caught. Ito keeps glancing at
12:17him awkwardly until he finally notices and says, What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me
12:22like that? Watch your attitude. Embarrassed, Ito stands up to leave, but when she hears someone
12:27approaching, she quickly crouches down again and accidentally falls right on top of him. After that
12:33incident, she becomes extremely awkward around Jin and starts treating him with obvious caution.
12:38Eventually, the other brothers notice the strange tension between them and begin to suspect that
12:44something might be going on. Jin pulls her aside and says seriously, Please just act normal. Nothing
12:50happened that deserves all this drama. But Ito doesn't see it that way at all. Somewhere along the way,
12:56she has begun to develop feelings for him, and she's too afraid to admit it.
13:00One day, Ben approaches her and asks directly, So, are you planning to confess your feelings to Jin
13:07or what? Ito sighs and answers nervously, But I'm your older sister now. I don't even know what
13:13the consequences would be if I fell in love with him. Besides, we finally helped Shen come out of
13:19his shell and start studying again. I can't ruin everything now because of a reckless decision. She smiles
13:25faintly and adds, Anyway, I'm happy like this. Taking care of all of you is enough for me.
13:30A few months later, Christmas arrives. The whole family gathers together to decorate the house and
13:36prepare food. But despite the cheerful atmosphere, Ito looks extremely nervous. Jin notices and walks
13:42over to her, narrowing his eyes suspiciously. You're hiding something, he says quietly, and you're scared to say it.
13:49But Ito immediately denies it and tells Jin, No, this has nothing to do with you at all.
13:54He shrugs and replies casually, All right then. Let me help you with making this stuffed food first
14:00and later, we'll talk about that thing that supposedly has nothing to do with me. She sighs,
14:05then suddenly blurts out the truth. Fine. I'll say it straight. I love you. There. I said it.
14:12Jin looks stunned. Wait. Seriously? You love me? Give me some time to think about it,
14:17and I'll give you an answer. From that moment on, Jin spends days thinking about it day and night.
14:24He keeps going back and forth in his mind until he finally makes a decision. At last, he approaches Ito
14:29and says carefully, I honestly don't know how to say this, but I've been thinking about it the whole
14:35time. I didn't want to hurt your feelings. The truth is, I think this is impossible. I can only see
14:41you as a member of the family. I hope that doesn't upset you or change how things are between us.
14:46Ito forces a small smile and replies calmly, No, it's fine. I thought about it too and realized it
14:52wouldn't work anyway. But thank you for taking the time to think about it. Nothing will change between
14:57us. Don't worry. Months pass after that awkward moment. Then comes Shen's first day back at school.
15:05Ito becomes extremely attentive toward him, walking with him all the way and encouraging him so he won't
15:11feel nervous. Watching this makes Jin strangely irritated. He even complains to his brothers and
15:17asks them to warn Ito about possible consequences. But Ben responds honestly, There are no consequences.
15:23You're just jealous because Shen is getting all of Ito's attention. After school ends that day, Ito runs
15:30out excitedly to walk home with Shen. But Jin suddenly appears in front of her and stops her.
15:35Don't you think you're overdoing it a little with how much you take care of him? He asks. Ito answers
15:41warmly, Not at all. My heart is completely devoted to looking after him. I just watch over him while
15:47he goes to school and when he comes back. Her words irritate Jin even more. So you only think about
15:53him
15:53now? He snaps angrily. Just get out of my sight. You're so stupid. Hurt by his words, Ito walks away
16:01quietly. Shen notices her sadness and keeps asking her what's wrong during their walk home. She insists
16:07nothing is wrong and claims she is simply nervous because she has university entrance exams coming up.
16:13But Shen doesn't believe her explanation. When they finally reach home, he tells her seriously,
16:18I'm not completely strong yet, but I promise I'll become stronger soon. I'll protect you from anything,
16:25and I'll never forgive the person who made you this sad. Ito smiles softly and thanks him. Thank you so
16:32much. Hearing that makes me really happy. Meanwhile, Jin is also sitting at school feeling miserable and
16:38unable to understand himself. When his friends ask what's wrong, he says, I don't know why I'm thinking
16:44about her now, after it's already too late. I don't even know why she's on my mind. One of his
16:49friends
16:49laughs and replies, it's obvious, you're probably in love with her. Later, when Jin returns home,
16:55he finds Ito asleep on the couch, exhausted. He stands there quietly watching her for a while,
17:02wondering to himself, do I really love her or not? But he walks away without finding an answer.
17:08What Jin doesn't realize is that Shen has just returned home at that moment and secretly saw him
17:13sitting beside Ito. Shen says nothing, but the next day at school, he approaches Jin privately
17:19and asks him directly, be honest, what do you feel toward Ito? Jin responds coldly,
17:25nothing, I don't have any feelings for that short girl. Shen immediately becomes angry.
17:30Don't talk about her like that, she's very kind and she helped all of us. I wish I were older.
17:36Jin avoids answering by turning the question back on him. You like her too, don't you? He says,
17:42but you're just running away from it. I don't understand why you act like that. The truth is,
17:47you simply lack confidence in yourself. Shen becomes furious and punches Jin hard enough to
17:52leave his face swollen. Later, when they return home, Ito notices the tension between them and asks,
17:58why did you two fight? But Jin refuses to explain. This is our problem, he says. We'll solve it
18:05ourselves. Instead, they decide to settle their conflict with a challenge. They agree to compete
18:11in a school game and the winner will have the right to make a request that the loser must obey.
18:16The next
18:16day they participate in the group competition. Ito watches nervously from the side, unable to decide
18:22which of them she should cheer for. In the end, Shen wins, although he injures his leg during the game.
18:28Jin takes him to the first aid room and there Shen says quietly,
18:32if you hadn't saved me from falling earlier, you would have been the one who won. Then he continues
18:37seriously, anyway, I want you to go home calmly today. I love Ito and I'm going to confess to her.
18:45Jin silently changes his clothes and leaves without saying anything, but when he arrives home,
18:50he is surprised to find Ito already there. The moment she sees him, she says happily,
18:55why are you so late? I've been waiting for you. Shen asked the two of us to cook a delicious
19:00meal
19:00to celebrate his victory. Come on, let's hurry to the market before it gets too late.
19:05Jin stands there for a moment, completely confused by everything that's happening.
19:09His mind almost seems to freeze, but eventually he just goes along with her.
19:14As they walk toward the market, they chat about random things. Then suddenly,
19:19Jin blurts out the truth he has been holding back. Listen, I love you. Not just as a member
19:24of the family. I love you more than that. Ito stops walking, surprised. Then she smiles and answers,
19:32I love you too, Jin. After that,
19:34they continue walking as if nothing unusual happened. Jin says cheerfully,
19:39all right, let's hurry and buy the ingredients. But Ito laughs and tells him,
19:43slow down a little, you're walking too fast. He grins and replies, I'm walking normally.
19:49You're just short, so you have to run to keep up with me. Come on, run faster.
19:53When they return home, the family gathers in the garden and starts grilling food together. They spend
19:59the evening laughing, playing games, and enjoying each other's company. Eventually, their mother
20:04hears all the noise and comes outside to scold them for making such a mess. Ito quickly apologizes
20:10with a smile. I'm sorry on behalf of my little brothers. And with that warm moment of family
20:15laughter, the film comes to an end. If you made it all the way to the end of the story,
