Episode 103

* * *

Some time later, morning.

As soon as Yewon opened her eyes, she quietly came out of her room.

Normally, it would probably be-

‘Yewon!!! Are you awake?!!?!? Wow. Our baby bird really is a bird, so she wakes up early on her own!?!?’

‘What nonsense are you talking about. What does that have to do with anything.’

‘Ah, seriously. You’re really showing that you’re a foreigner. Don’t you know the saying that the early bird catches the worm?!’

‘Yewon. Let’s eat breakfast. Uncle blended tomatoes for you. Have some juice and seaweed with rice and-‘

‘What about my chicken breast?’

‘…Hyung. Hyung can heat up your own chicken breast…’

It would have been chaotic like this.

“Oh, Yewon’s awake.”

Today, the one who greeted Yewon wasn’t the four GLEET uncles, but Taejung.

“Yes! Did you sleep well?”

“Of course. I slept well thanks to you, little one.”

Taejung smiled warmly and quickly approached Yewon, lifting her up in his arms.

“Now that you’re awake, let’s eat breakfast, and then shall we go see Shunini?”

“Yes!”

At first, she thought ‘I’m not even a baby, and what’s this Shunini…’ but lately Yewon had grown quite fond of Shunini.

Ah.

Where did Lee Doha go and why is Taejung here?

These days, GLEET was extremely busy with their comeback album activities.

‘The uncles said it’s been a while since their last full album, so they’d be busier than usual.’

Moreover, thanks to hitting their career high with record-breaking album sales, reaching number one on music sites, and so on, the uncles were running around without even time to eat.

‘This is all~! Thanks to our baby Cider!! No, our baby Cider is a complete lucky charm!? Seriously!! Before our baby Cider came!! I thought we were done for!! Career high my ass, I was thinking we’d just disband and I’d try going solo, but all my efforts would fall through and we’d be quietly forgotten, then suddenly 3 years later there’d be an article about being discovered overseas, but it would only have like 3 views… I thought that’s how it would end up. Sob sob…’

‘…Why is this so suspiciously specific, you bastard… You bastard, don’t tell me you actually wanted that?’

‘How could that be?!?!? I only longed for our Glows!?!? Sob sob. Thanks to these damn avoidant members, my blooming youth and sparkling talent would all be buried… I thought… Sob sob… This is all a miracle created by our baby Cider…’

…Seeing Weon say this with all his heart, it seemed the album really was doing well.

‘…I’m just grateful for all the love.’

Even Lee Doha, who doesn’t show such things, seemed quite proud lately, which made it even more obvious.

Because of this situation, the GLEET members only came home to shower and would leave right away.

They usually came home late at night or early morning, so it had been quite a while since Yewon had seen her uncles’ faces.

But she wasn’t particularly upset about it. She just thought it was really fortunate that her uncles were doing well.

So these days, Yeongeo and Taejung took turns taking care of Yewon.

‘…Really… is it okay for me to take care of her?’

‘…It’s what Yewon wants.’

When Lee Doha first entrusted Yewon to Taejung.

Not only the members but Yewon was also really surprised.

She felt sorry about imposing more on Owner, and thinking she should get closer to Grandfather, she had pestered him saying ‘Can’t I stay with Grandfather?!’

She never expected Lee Doha to agree like this.

‘Hey, Lee Doha. What did Director Yeon send? What is this?’

‘…Isn’t this a limited edition Shunini exorcism staff? No, this sold out as soon as it came out, how did he get it?! Oh, there’s a letter here too. Hmm… He watched our broadcast, but felt really sorry that only Grandfather couldn’t give a gift. So he sent this in a hurry?’

‘…’

‘He says the Shunini White Tiger exorcism set and dolls will all arrive soon too?’

Taejung’s recent efforts like this.

‘What’s this package again?! Hey, Lee Doha, did you order something? Oh, no. This is also from Director Yeon.’

‘…Korean beef and fruits… and supplements?’

‘He labeled each supplement as adult or child use, so we should all take the adult ones together and give Yewon the child ones!’

Or efforts like this.

‘…The Director was going to retire?’

‘Yeah. He asked if he could retire right away and move next door to you guys. He said he wants to dedicate the rest of his life to Yewon, and I got in trouble for stopping him. He wants to take care of the baby only when you’re not around, and when Yewon grows up, he wants to do all the academy rides himself. If Yewon says she doesn’t want to study, he asked to be made her manager. He said he’d do it with his life on the line.’

‘…’

‘Avoiding things your whole life, then charging forward when something catches your interest – that seems to be your family trait.’

Thanks to such efforts, his heart seemed to have softened considerably.

Thanks to that, Lee Doha, who didn’t even want to talk to Taejung.

‘When Yewon goes to school… we definitely need someone reliable to take care of her. And if it’s the Director… if he has any conscience… he would probably do his best.’

He even said this,

so it was really great progress.

‘…Still, I think I’ve changed the future a lot…!’

Fortunately, I managed to do it…

It was enough of an achievement for Yewon to mutter to herself like this.

Anyway.

Today was an important day for Yewon.

“I have filming today, with Juyeong unnie!”

It was the first filming day for the drama audition program, 【This Life, I’m an Actor】.

“I heard about it. Grandfather will stop by to take a look later.”

“?!”

At the surprising words, Yewon made startled rabbit eyes.

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to acknowledge Yewon there. I’m going to cheer you on and look around while I’m at it.”

Taejung hurriedly made excuses, but the more excuses Yewon heard, the more flustered she became.

Hmm.

That doesn’t seem like a good idea?

It would be like interns working and suddenly not even the company president but the headquarters chairman appearing saying ‘Everyone’s working hard, right? Hehe’?

“Umm. But. If Grandfather comes, everyone will go ‘Gasp!’ I think…”

“Still. This grandfather needs to go check if there are any adults bullying Yewon.”

Taejung, as someone who had already lost a child once, couldn’t bear to lose something precious again.

After learning that Seoha had passed away, how terrible his heart had been. What hellish times he had gone through.

Taejung still hadn’t completely escaped from that hell.

But thinking about sending Yewon out alone, his heart felt like it was falling into hell once again.

“…I think Juyeong unnie alone would be enough for that…”

“Yewon, this world is full of dangerous adults. Sending you out into this rough and harsh world, this grandfather’s heart really can’t be at ease.”

Yewon felt like she could sense the same intense separation anxiety she had felt from Doha here as well.

“No way.”

“!”

“Still, I can’t stay home forever, and I can’t hold Grandfather’s hand for the rest of my life! I need to learn how to do well on my own too!”

“…!”

Taejung froze at Yewon’s bright smile and her firm tone that didn’t match it.

“It’s okay. I can do well. And Juyeong unnie is really cool. She’ll protect me well!”

Yewon said this and hugged Taejung’s neck tightly.

“Really, nothing will happen!”

* * *

Exactly 4 hours later.

Yewon regretted what she had said.

“I!!! I’m going to sit next to Yewon!!!!! I’m going to be Yewon’s partner!!!! Yoo Baekwoon, move aside!!”

“What?! Yujeongyun, what do you know about Yewon!! The person closest to Yewon is me!!!!”

“You already did a drama with Yewon!!!! This time I want to do it!!! I’m the older sister!! You should give way!!”

“Mother said that giving way is what the older sister does!!!!”

When you think nothing will happen.

She had forgotten the law that something like this always happens.

Yewon sighed as she watched the Yoo family twins pulling each other’s hair, fighting over who would be her partner.

“I’ll just do it alone….”
