Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 170

His desire to become famous was entirely based on his wish to help his father succeed.

For that reason, he absolutely had to appear on this broadcast.

With a large staff and location preparations.

Wuju knew well how big a burden it would be if the broadcast fell through once.

Just then, his mobile phone was suddenly thrust toward him.

It was Han Gru.

“Wh-what?”

On the screen was written the name ‘Father’.

– Hello? Wuju?

Wuju hurriedly took the mobile phone.

“Ah, Dad.”

Should I tell him I’m sick?

– You know about today’s filming, right? I’ll get to see our precious son’s face after a long time, haha!

Dad’s words calling him his precious son were filled with pride.

“Uh, yeah… I know.”

– But why did you call? Is something wrong?

“Mm, no… I suddenly have a slight fever.”

– What? Really? Will you be okay for filming?

When he heard the surprised voice, Wuju hurriedly shook his head.

“No, I want to film. I can do it.”

– I’m really weak when it comes to our son. If you insist on doing it, I can’t help it. Should Dad ask your manager to buy some medicine?

A relieved voice. An intonation that rose slightly as if feeling fortunate.

As Wuju became skilled at acting, he grew accustomed to reading emotions.

From voices, breaths, and expressions containing subtle emotions, he had regrettably learned well what benefited Dad and what made him happy.

“It’s okay. I’ll tell Hyung myself-”

Before Wuju could finish speaking, his mobile phone was snatched away.

Han Gru immediately answered the phone and said:

“Hello, mister! I’m Wuju’s friend from Chick Class, On Gru!”

“Wh-what are you doing!”

When Wuju tried to snatch back the mobile phone, Han Gru dodged his hand and slipped down below.

Han Gru ran away going “do-do-do” while speaking rapidly:

“Mister! Today! Wuju has been sick since morning and is all dizzy! He’s too sick to film!”

“St-stop it!”

Wuju chased after Han Gru, but his feverish body couldn’t quite keep up.

“Our dad? Dad is on a business trip today… Yeah. That can be done.”

While he was restless, Han Gru, who had been continuing the phone conversation, held out the mobile phone again.

Then he smiled brightly and said:

“Gru will film instead! Wuju should rest!”

“What? Haa, haa…! You?”

Wuju squeezed out his words while clutching his knees and bending over at the waist.

“Yeah. I told them I’d come out with Dad.”

“Even Uncle?!”

With Gru and On Jurim, the buzz was guaranteed.

Even just a simple interview with On Jurim would send viewership ratings skyrocketing.

Plus, the Hyeonhak Guild Master and his daughter.

It aligned perfectly with this variety show’s production intent, making it even better…

“So Wuju should go to the hospital. Okay?”

Gru cupped Wuju’s cheeks and smiled innocently with a bright grin.

“Look here. Wuju’s face is really hot.”

Wuju breathed heavily while his eyelashes fluttered.

Didn’t Dad care if it wasn’t me?

As long as he got the buzz, anyone would do?

“…Then I’m going to the filming site with you.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Anyway. I’m going with you.”

Wuju grabbed Gru’s hand and moved to get permission from the teacher.

“This is your first time filming. I might be able to help you with something…”

The tips of his ears were flushed red with fever.

* * *

Wuju’s father, PD Seo Woonmo, was preparing a web variety show called ‘Working Baby.’

It was a program where children experienced different jobs for a day, and following current trends, he had chosen the theme of capturing healing and children’s adorableness in an observational variety format.

Today’s filming would determine the fate of this variety show.

‘I have to do well, really well…’

Seo Woonmo clenched his trembling fists.

A one-hit wonder. Seo Woonmo, who was living off a variety show that hit big 10 years ago.

Opinions were divided on whether he would make a comeback with this variety show or not. The pressure from that was driving him even harder.

Since it was a ‘Working Baby’ format, it would have been quite troublesome if they had to postpone filming because Wuju was sick.

Seo Woonmo gazed at Gru, who was looking at him with a bright smile.

‘This turned out to be a blessing in disguise.’

Wuju being sick was certainly unfortunate as a father. But ironically, as a PD, it had become something more welcome.

Thanks to this, he had secured a guest who would create tremendous buzz.

Somehow, excitement was building that he could lead this program to success.

“Gru, what did you tell the Guild Master?”

He had been worried because On Jurim shouldn’t know what kind of filming this was for the variety show’s concept, but On Jurim had readily agreed to the casting.

Curious about this, when Seo Woonmo asked, Gru imitated On Jurim and said.

“‘Huh? Suddenly? When are we filming? Okay.’ That’s what he said.”

PD Seo burst into quiet laughter at the child’s playful mimicry.

“Really? So Guild Master On is just as soft with his kid as I am with mine. I tell Wuju everything’s fine too. Ahahaha!”

He laughed good-naturedly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Han Gru stared intently at PD Seo, then shook her head.

“Daddy says ‘no’ and ‘forbidden’ a lot. Gru gets upset when he says no. But Daddy says no because he’s worried.”

“Ah…”

I see.

PD Seo suddenly looked at Wuju.

Wuju was sitting nervously on the edge of his chair, flushed red with fever.

The manager took Wuju’s temperature.

‘Saying no because of worry…’

His son’s face, which he was seeing for the first time in ten days, looked somehow more gaunt.

Was he dieting again because they were starting filming, or had he been sick all along without anyone knowing…

“PD Seo! Are you really changing the concept?”

“Ah, the basic format is similar, but we’re just changing the setting and guests. I’ll explain, so everyone gather around.”

As PD Seo gathered the staff members, Wuju turned his gaze to his father’s face, which had once again become absorbed in work.

Han Gru stared intently at both of them.

‘Why doesn’t the uncle go check on Wuju?’

Wuju would like it if his dad took his temperature, asked if he was in a lot of pain, and kept worrying about him…

PD Seo was focusing on work while leaving the sick Wuju alone.

Wuju had an indifferent expression, as if he was used to not getting his father’s attention.

Come to think of it.

‘When we first met too…’

Wuju had said his dad wasn’t interested in him.

Until then, Han Gru had only thought that Wuju’s father was a very cold person.

But the uncle she met today was very passionate about his work…

‘No, he’s cold.’

Being so cold to Wuju like that…

Just then, PD Seo called Han Gru.

“Gru, could you listen to uncle’s explanation for a moment?”

“Yes.”

“We’re going to film Gru first today, and here’s how we do it…”

After hearing the explanation about filming, Han Gru let out an exclamation of wonder.

‘This will be fun!’

* * *

A few days later.

‘Now even full-scale variety shows…’

On Jurim sat in front of the table on the set, crossed his legs, and leaned back deeply into his chair.

His variety show appearances so far had only been light talk shows at most, so there was no way he’d ever done anything like experiences…

The reason he ended up appearing on a variety show he would have flatly refused under normal circumstances was all because of his daughter.

She said she wanted to help Wuju and Wuju’s dad.

He often heard stories about the woman who was Wuju’s mother figure, but he had never heard about the father. He was quite surprised to learn that he was actually a real person.

In any case, On Jurim hadn’t yet learned how to refuse his child’s earnest requests, so here he was, sitting obediently like a well-behaved dog that had been dragged along.
