Episode 30

How long has it been since we filmed, and how did support inquiries increase by 30%?

Anyway, this Hidden Quest was also a successful achievement!

‘But reading inner thoughts? Isn’t this almost like a superpower?’

Hmm, I’m looking forward to it.

Even while thinking it might be a cheat skill, I grinned widely.

With this, I might be able to easily achieve the Main Quest.

Finding out Junho’s feelings, upgrading Noah too! And my assets that reached 190 million today will double!

“Pretty thing, good thing… Father’s face?”

“You…!”

Junho grabbed and stretched the cheeks of my rice cake-like face as he spoke.

“For a little kid to be this cheeky.”

Even so, his mouth stretched wide with joy was cute.

“This is all…”

Junho looked at me with a genuinely happy expression.

“All…”

“Thanks to Chaea, right?”

When I finished his sentence for him, Junho chuckled softly.

And he nodded his head.

Well, it is all thanks to me.

If Junho had been helplessly framed as a thief, the person who would have been written off the show in a traffic accident wouldn’t have been Im Su-yeon but Junho.

“Chaea is Father’s treasure.”

Junho said while looking at me.

“So…”

Suddenly, Junho’s eyes became a little darker.

“Um… Chaea.”

Seeing his eyes that seemed to have something to say, I tilted my head.

‘Come to think of it…’

Recently, after filming the Edinburgh Kindergarten commercial, Junho’s gaze toward me would sometimes suddenly darken.

“Chaea… do you want to have a job standing in front of cameras later?”

Looking at Junho asking me in a serious voice, I could roughly guess what he was worried about.

In the drama 【Love You to Death】, Saebyeol faced various difficulties as a rookie actress.

All kinds of villains targeting Saebyeol, the dirty underbelly of the entertainment industry, even sponsor demands.

Junho would have witnessed all of that by her side.

“I mean, that… I don’t think it’s as sparkling a job as it looks on TV. Of course, Chaea is really pretty and if you want to go in that direction, Father will support you with all his strength, but…”

Junho’s eyes looking at the floor wavered.

“Check inner thoughts.”

As I muttered with my head down, a blue status window appeared.

[I really hope Chaea never becomes an actress (87%)]

Oh, this function works well.

‘By the way, this means there’s an 87% chance he’s thinking this.’

But since Junho respects me more than anyone, if I said I wanted to be an entertainer, he wouldn’t be able to stop me.

“Father.”

When I called him, as if he had been waiting for my answer, Junho looked surprised and met my eyes.

Soon I grinned at Junho as if telling him not to worry.

“Chaea doesn’t really want to become an entertainer.”

“R-really?”

Junho asked back with a look of relief.

I continued speaking.

“Yes, actually Chaea’s dream is…”

Eventually I lifted my face and looked closely into Junho’s eyes as I spoke.

“Nobody knows, but being super rich.”

“…”

Junho blinked.

“…Nobody knows Chaea but you’re super rich?”

I nodded vigorously.

No matter how I look at it, the life of a celebrity receiving public spotlight and having every action scrutinized seems quite tiresome.

Most importantly, I don’t have any interest in acting or singing!

If this natural face is a talent, it might be the greatest talent.

Anyway, since possessing and time-warping to this era, my dream has been to amass wealth.

‘And I’ll change one piece of past history too…’

I clenched my fist tightly and declared that my dream was clear.

“Yes. Chaea will become that kind of rich person. Stealth wealth.”

“Stealth wealth?”

“It means a rich person who hides their power!”

“Huh? That’s…”

Junho, who had been staring at me blankly, moved his lips.

“…cool, isn’t it?”

Junho soon gently stroked his chin as he spoke.

“Nobody knowing me but being super rich, that’s both free and incredibly abundant. Of course, Father wants to receive public love, so it’s a different kind of dream from that, but… Chaea, you…”

The corners of Junho’s mouth curved up.

“I never knew even your dreams would be this special.”

[My daughter really is a super genius (100%)]

Pretending not to notice the admiring doting parent mode activating again, I continued speaking.

“Anyway, I don’t have dreams of becoming an entertainer, so don’t worry.”

At this, Junho flinched.

“Was my worrying… obvious…?”

“Yes. Father, everything you think shows on your face.”

And now it shows in status windows too.

“Ah.”

Junho scratched his head as if embarrassed.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“Hehe. In our house, one shining star…”

I looked at Junho and smiled brightly.

“Father alone is enough!”

At this, Junho’s eyes wavered, then soon changed to a gaze mixed with relief.

Junho raised his hand and hugged me tightly in his arms.

‘End inner thoughts reading.’

“But Father’s star is Chaea, always.”

[Unshaken despite ‘Suk-hee’s’ departure… 【Typhoon Internal Medicine】, Gu Jun-ho in the role of ‘Dong-ho’ protects the laughter.]

[Not standing out makes you last longer… Gu Jun-ho’s slow rise in popularity]

[Romance disappeared, character came alive… The era of ‘driver Junho’]

The sitcom 【Typhoon Internal Medicine】 recently faced the variable of actress Im Su-yeon’s departure, but an unexpected person is naturally filling that void.

The protagonist is actor Gu Jun-ho, who plays the role of ‘Dong-ho’, the driver of ‘Il-young (Oh Il-young)’ in the show.

Initially, he quietly added laughter as a supporting character, but after the romance axis was removed, he actually established himself centered on life-oriented episodes.

Instead of exaggerated gestures, his quiet facial expressions and pure yet quirky character are drawing laughter from viewers.

Thanks to actor Gu Jun-ho’s such performance, 【Typhoon Internal Medicine】 achieved remarkable success with its latest episode reaching a viewership rating of 40%.

[As a special additional reward for the Sub Quest, 10 times the guardian’s monthly appearance fee will be paid as a lump sum.]

After checking Junho’s recent articles through Noah’s report, I smiled with satisfaction.

‘Hehe, how satisfying.’

My assets increased by about 20 million won thanks to an unexpected additional reward.

Of course, I invested this right away.

My current assets have grown to just over 200 million won. Yahoo!

It definitely seemed like Junho’s acting became more natural after Im Su-yeon, who had been making Junho nervous, left the show.

“…Aya?”

“….”

“Chaea?”

“Ah, yes! Teacher.”

This is preschool.

At the sound of Teacher Noh Ji-hye’s voice, I turned my gaze toward her.

She asked me carefully in a small voice.

“Are, are, are you… finished with your drawing?”

At her words, I looked at the drawing I had made earlier in my sketchbook.

Since we were told to draw about family, I drew a picture of Father and me sitting side by side on a green field.

Ah, Father was on my left, and Uncle Seok-min on my right.

I also drew a big pink heart above me.

“Uh, uhuh….”

Teacher Noh Ji-hye, who had been looking at the peaceful drawing, blinked and said.

“So, so… it looks very harmonious.”

“Yes, our family is very harmonious.”

Teacher Noh Ji-hye nodded a few times with a somewhat puzzled look and said.

“I see…. That’s good….”

Soon she was muttering something and stopped in front of Hee-jae.

Then she bent down slightly, looked at Hee-jae’s drawing, and said.

“Hee-jae….”

Swoosh—

Suddenly, rain began to fall outside the window.

I turned my head to look outside the window.

Dark clouds gathered, and the sky was gloomy as if it was about to scold someone in anger.

“…didn’t draw… anything.”

As the teacher’s gentle voice pierced my ears, I turned my gaze to Hee-jae.

Hee-jae’s sketchbook, who had been participating excellently in all classes, remained spotlessly white as it was at the beginning.

Hee-jae’s face was pale as always, and his eyes were lost in dark thoughts.

I could see invisible bars that trapped the child as if external stimuli couldn’t reach him.

Hee-jae’s lips moved coldly.

“…Because I don’t have any.”

At the same time, I felt my heart drop with a thud.

Not long ago, Noah had told me the truth about Kang Hee-jae of Tomorrow Finance.

About what had happened to that child, a digitized article floated before my eyes.

[Tragic news for the business world… The eldest son and daughter-in-law of Tomorrow Finance’s founder die in recent aircraft accident]

‘1997… He lost his parents in an aircraft crash last summer.’

Even before my possession, I knew there had been an aviation accident in 1997.

I don’t remember the victims exactly, but I recall it was an accident where over 200 people died, including figures from politics and business,

The fact that Hee-jae’s parents died in that accident… is something I’m only learning now.

Lightning flashed outside, making the classroom flicker, but Hee-jae didn’t even blink.

Even when screams erupted among the children at the thunderous roar that echoed through the air.

“But Hee-jae… family is….”

Just as Teacher Noh Ji-hye was about to say something, I raised my hand high.

“Teacher.”

Soon the teacher’s attention was focused on me.

And Hee-jae, who hadn’t shown any expression on his face, also slowly glanced at me.
