Episode 100
After filming ended like that.
The five people got in the car and headed home.
Perhaps tired from everything, Yewon was sleeping soundly with her head on Lee Doha’s lap.
“Is Yewon asleep?”
“Yeah. She was smiling and filming all day, so she must have been tired.”
At Lee Doha’s answer, Weon yawned.
“Still, it’s good that we finished without going into night filming! We must have gotten good footage.”
“It was possible because Yeonho hyung unexpectedly stepped up.”
At Weon’s words, Lee Doha answered like that and looked back at Yeonho with a grin.
Thinking about it again, he really was an interesting hyung. The person who said he didn’t want to buy gifts, that it was bothersome, that stuff like that was for the rest of them to do.
What wind blew for him to prepare such a thoughtful gift that it was selected as ‘Today’s Best Gift Chosen by Yewon’?
‘Probably…’
Even if he didn’t say it, had he felt sorry?
Maybe he felt a bit sorry about saying ‘I don’t do childcare’ in front of Yewon.
Lee Doha chuckled softly.
“…”
Yeonho desperately avoided Lee Doha’s gaze.
Even he thought it was embarrassing in various ways.
Lee Doha didn’t demand an answer from Yeonho or tease him.
He knew well how amazing it was that the great Seo Yeonho had made this much effort.
‘…It’s not just Yeonho hyung.’
Lee Doha sat in the very back, watching Eon, Weon, and Yeonho bickering in front.
“…No matter how I think about it, my gift was the best!! Yewon choosing Yeonho hyung was just her kind heart giving one more rice cake to a pitiful guy!!”
The gift that Weon, who said this, gave was a gaming console and party game packs that multiple people could play.
‘We can all play together!! I’ve been playing games like this with my siblings since I was little!! I want to play with Yewon too!!’
He had said.
Except for the fact that it was a gift with quite a bit of personal interest, it was a very good gift.
Because it was the gaming console that Weon usually shouted ‘Ah~!!~! I want to buy it~!!’ about.
“The best? That’s funny. You’re 4th place, Hanwon. You buying that gaming console was basically because you wanted to play it. 1st place is obviously me. I acknowledge that Seo Yeonho got 1st place with sympathy votes.”
Eon said triumphantly.
The gift he gave Yewon was an album and a Polaroid camera.
Only one photo was inserted in the album, and that photo was taken by the five of them at Doremil Land.
Next to it, a card with this written on it was inserted.
‘From age 7 to 100, I’ll create the best memories for you every birthday. Let’s take photos each time and fill this album completely.’
For some reason, it got a bigger response from the female production staff than the members, but it succeeded in drawing out a precious hug from Yewon.
From the side, small protests from the members came in.
‘When Yewon turns 100, will we even be alive??? Huh????’
‘Are you planning to appear as ghosts to build memories?’
‘…We’ll have to live long.’
But Eon lightly ignored them, saying ‘Don’t you trust modern science? By then, lifespans will somehow be extended.’
“…What’s the point of those who weren’t even chosen just flapping their mouths? Follow me to the gym.”
“If this hyung didn’t have just muscles!!!”
“Don’t be petty and fight me without your muscles, Seo Yeonho.”
“Even if I removed all my muscles and fought you, I think I’d still beat you, Eon.”
“…Do you want to die?”
“Wahahahahaha!!! He says he’d win even without all his muscles!!!”
At the familiar yet strangely unfamiliar scene, Lee Doha couldn’t help but chuckle.
Sometimes it was hard to believe that all of this was real.
Until just recently, these were people who didn’t even want to face each other.
Actually, the cold atmosphere between the four had been going on for quite a long time. It wasn’t just a day or two, but accumulated emotions over several years.
Even though only Taeyoung was causing trouble, strangely the other four also grew distant from each other.
It got worse after Taeyoung left. The time that passed without being able to talk created cracks between them. Those cracks had driven them to the brink of destruction.
Until Yewon came.
Lee Doha carefully raised his hand and gently stroked Yewon’s thin hair.
The chubby cheeks pressed against Lee Doha’s thigh and each small breathing sound felt like a miracle.
How did you make us into…
How did you turn us into a real family
in such a short time?
Just then.
“Hey, Lee Doha.”
Lee Doha raised his head at the sound calling him.
Then he saw three men looking at him.
“So are you going to release your gift as a music track later or not? Why aren’t you answering when people ask, you bastard.”
Eon asked in an irritated voice.
That’s right.
The gift Lee Doha gave Yewon was a very small USB.
Inside it was a birthday song made just for Yewon.
‘…Let’s sing this song together every birthday.’
He had already given her an OST before, but that wasn’t a gift just for Yewon, it was also for the drama.
This time, because he really wanted to make a song just for Yewon, Lee Doha had been writing music every dawn.
For your every shining day
Even if it’s a teal-colored sad day sometimes
Even if it’s lavender-colored hope sometimes
Always I’ll be there
Always I’ll be there
“Well. I’m not sure if it’s a song worth releasing as a track.”
At Lee Doha’s words, the members shook their heads.
“Even though it doesn’t have obvious happy birthday lyrics so it could be quietly released as a single, that guy won’t listen.”
“Leave him alone. That bastard is acting like that because he wants only Yewon to hear that song.”
At Eon’s grumbling, Yeonho said calmly.
“What? Was that really it?!”
Weon said with disgust as if he was sick of it.
However, Lee Doha neither denied nor confirmed it. He just smiled softly as he always did.
“Wow, it must be true!!! Look at him smiling!!! That’s creepy!!!”
“When we were recording the song, we could have all sung together, but I knew it from when he stubbornly sang alone.”
Eon clicked his tongue. He seemed quite displeased, with wrinkles forming between his brows.
“It’s not like that. We agreed to prepare gifts secretly from each other.”
At Lee Doha’s words, Eon’s expression finally relaxed a bit.
“…Anyway…”
“Hey!! By the way, when will our broadcast air?! I think I accidentally spoiled our new song earlier…?!”
Suddenly, Weon said in a fuss.
“How would that be a spoiler? The broadcast will take at least 2 weeks. Our song will be out in a week, you idiot. We have the music release and comeback showcase this Thursday.”
“Right?? I don’t need to plead with Hwang PD now, right?!”
Weon sighed in relief and leaned back in his chair.
The other members also chuckled and began to rest.
Except for one person.
‘…’
Except for Eon.
* * *
“…Just saying he’s only preparing for a comeback? That bastard too?”
“Y-yeah.”
A while ago, at the Time Enter practice room.
At Eon’s question, Yeongeo scratched his head and nodded.
“He’s also going around saying he’ll be making a comeback soon.”
“….”
That wasn’t really such a suspicious story. After all, signing with a new agency was practically a declaration of intent to be active.
However….
“But, um….”
Yeongeo hesitantly opened his mouth.
“Well. He, he’s… apparently… there are rumors going around that he’s looking for songs that aren’t good for solo work, but suit group activities….”
“!”
“So… everyone in the industry is saying that… when our contract ends this time… you guys will sign with Two Track and… reunite….”
“What kind of bullshit is that, seriously.”
Eon’s face twisted with disgust.
Has that guy still not come to his senses?
“Are we crazy? Working with that guy again? I’d rather retire than work with that bastard even if I died and came back to life.”
“I said the same thing…. But strangely, that Taeyoung guy… he’s going around speaking with complete confidence. ‘In the end, one word from me and those guys will come crawling back. They got some popularity by selling the kid’s story, so they can just use the kid as an excuse again and reunite’ or something like that….”
“Is he insane, really… this…!”
He’s even bringing up Yewon now?
Eon finally couldn’t control his temper and clenched his fists tight.
“Yeongeo.”
“Yeah?”
“Send this recording file directly to that bastard and his company.”
“Huh?!?!”
Yeongeo jumped up in shock.
“B-but Eon. Lee Doha seemed like he wanted to… handle this as quietly as possible…. The CEO too….”
“Ah. Yeah. Right. Make sure to add this message when you send it. ‘Lee Doha might endure it, but you know. Eon absolutely won’t.'”
The veins in Eon’s neck were bulging from his explosive temper as he spoke.
“I’m the type who absolutely won’t tolerate this shit, so tell him if he wants this leaked online and to retire forever, he can try running his mouth one more time.”
Watching Eon speak like this, Yeongeo found himself nodding automatically.
…You really won’t tolerate it, Eon….
