Episode 105

What was unusual was unusual. But there was no reason she couldn’t fulfill Jeongyun’s request.

Yewon nodded her head.

“Yeah. I’ll bring you a signed album from home! One that all my uncles signed.”

Just recently, in fact.

‘Baby bird!!! Yewon!!! Come here!!!’

‘What’s wrong…?’

‘Look, there are 20 albums here signed by all your uncles, okay?’

‘…?’

‘For sure! When you make friends, those friends will definitely bug you for signed albums, kiddo! Then at that moment, boom!!! You just whip this out!!! Huh!!! Your popularity guaranteed, smooth school life guaranteed!! Huh!!’

‘…’

‘Hey now. Don’t doubt your uncle! Uncle has been popular his whole life. Everyone, young and old, men and women, they all loved uncle!’

‘I wasn’t… doubting that…’

‘Still, if there’s anyone who doesn’t fall for it, call Uncle Yeonho. Once they see those muscles, probably many problems will be solved.’

‘…I don’t think that would work…’

At the time, Weon seemed a bit unreliable, but looking at it now, he had really said the right thing.

“Gasp!!! R-really?! All the oppas’ signatures!?”

Jeongyun hugged Yewon tightly with the most touched expression in the world!

“Thank you, Yewon! From now on, you’re my best friend!”

“…Yu, Yujeongyun. You need to get Yewon’s permission for that…”

“Yoo Baekwoon, shush.”

Ding!

[Make 3 friends your age (2/3)!]

[You’ve already made 2 friends. Just one more to become close with!]

So Baek Yun counts as a friend too.

Yewon let out a hollow laugh.

…Uncles…

I think I’ve made some really unusual friends thanks to my uncles…

Meanwhile, in the hallway outside the classroom.

Before filming started, Juyeong was peeking her head out in the hallway, watching Yewon through the classroom window.

[Is Yewon doing well?]

[I hope she’s not being shy… Even though Yewon doesn’t seem like it, she’s actually quite shy…]

[Even if she acts mature, a child is still a child… Please take good care of her.]

These worried texts had been coming from Lee Doha since earlier.

He didn’t seem to worry this much even during drama filming, but going to a place with many peers seemed to bring different concerns.

Juyeong was also fond of Yewon like a niece, so she was scouting the atmosphere with the same feelings.

But.

‘…I don’t think there’s anything to worry about?’

Yewon was surrounded by quite a few friends besides the twin siblings.

They were all child actors, but since Yewon’s recognition was overwhelmingly high among them, everyone seemed to flock to Yewon out of curiosity, like seeing a celebrity.

‘…Yewon doesn’t look nervous at all either.’

She looked a bit tired if anything, but not nervous. Rather, she seemed relaxed.

‘She’s really amazing and cute every time I see her.’

When adults were around, she seemed like the cutest little child in the world, but when left alone, she sometimes looked like an adult who had lived through everything.

Especially when Yewon was monitoring her own acting, she absolutely didn’t look like a 7-year-old child.

The way she asked the director various questions and sought advice had the eyes of a 10-year veteran actor.

Also, when Yewon quietly stared into space lost in thought, her gaze sometimes even looked sorrowful.

Each time, Juyeong could only wonder what exactly made that 7-year-old child have such eyes.

“…”

Anyway, she’s amazing in many ways…

Come to think of it, Lee Doha was like that too.

Juyeong had joined Time Entertainment about a year before Lee Doha debuted.

So she had seen Lee Doha during his trainee days.

Even then, he was the most famous trainee in the company.

However, despite having talent and looks that stood out anywhere, he never showed off or got cocky, always just quietly practicing.

So naturally, the other trainees around him followed suit and the atmosphere was set, which Yeongeo loved so much.

Back then, Juyeong even felt a bit embarrassed. ‘When I was 18, I just whined to my mom about not wanting to study, but this kid is really mature,’ she thought.

Now knowing the circumstances – she could feel that Lee Doha’s maturity back then was just because he had no adults to rely on and had to grow up early out of necessity.

‘…I guess being mature is hereditary.’

Still, let’s watch over Yewon well so she can be innocently childlike.

Juyeong quietly sent a reply to Lee Doha.

[I don’t think you need to worry at all!]

[Yewon’s popularity is exploding]

[She’s not being shy at all and doing wonderfully]

[Everyone’s going crazy wanting to become friends with Yewon]

[You might need to get nervous, Lee Doha. Yewon’s favorite might change soon…]

[I also had my niece following me around once]

[But after she started school, she said she didn’t need auntie and friends were the best]

[(smiling emoticon)]

[Just kidding, of course uncle would be the best for Yewon]

* * *

Meanwhile, in the van GLEET was riding.

The four members were heading home after finishing their schedule that started at dawn.

“What did she say?!!? What did Juyeong say!?!?!”

Weon stretched his head toward Lee Doha making a fuss.

Actually, it was just Weon making an obvious fuss, but the other members were also turning their heads toward Lee Doha.

“…She says Yewon is doing well.”

“See!!!! I told you there was no need to worry about Yewon! And I taught her a special skill too?! Our baby bird definitely used it. For sure.”

“What skill did you teach her. You didn’t teach something weird to the kid again, did you?”

Eon looked at Weon with suspicious eyes.

“No way?! It’s a really good skill?! Hey, Lee Doha. What else did she say?! Juyeong! She made friends, right?!”

“Yeah. And she’s not being shy either.”

Lee Doha answered without taking his eyes off his phone screen.

“That’s right! That’s my baby bird.”

“Who’s your baby bird. She’s my kid.”

“…?”

At Eon’s rather strange statement, Yeonho looked at him.

When did they adopt her?

Anyway, just as everyone was relieved by the news that Yewon was doing well and was about to turn their heads back to their original positions.

“…And apparently she’s explosively popular.”

“!”

At Lee Doha’s last comment, everyone’s heads snapped back 90 degrees.

“Wait. I’m not trying to nitpick about her being popular, but exactly what kind of popularity are we talking about? Girls? Or boys?”

Eon asked, trying to sound nonchalant.

“Come to think of it, isn’t that kid appearing there? That boy from 【The Flowers of the Eastern Palace】?! Don’t tell me he’s still acting all friendly with Yewon!?”

“I should have made him run 100 laps around the playground back then….”

Yeonho muttered with an extremely dark expression.

However.

“Her bias is changing…? I’m… becoming… unnecessary….”

His voice was calm, but the person who was most unhinged right now was Lee Doha.

[…Ever since she started school, she’s been saying she doesn’t need her uncle and that friends are the best…]

One message from Juyeong had poked something inside Lee Doha.

“Let’s… let’s turn the car around…. I think I need to be there….”

“Huh, what?!”

Yeongeo, who was focused on driving and couldn’t hear Lee Doha’s words clearly, asked back.

“Hey!!! Someone take the phone away from Lee Doha!!”

“Just keep driving, Park Yeongeo. Ignore what he’s saying.”

“….”

The three members each grabbed Lee Doha’s arms and shook their heads.

The text Juyeong sent to reassure Lee Doha had backfired instead.

* * *

‘…That’s strange. Is someone talking about me?’

Yewon felt an ominous feeling for some reason and shivered slightly.

But.

[School broadcast: We will now hear words from the principal!]

[School broadcast: All students of 【This Life’s Academy】, please listen carefully to the principal’s words!]

Since Yewon was currently filming the morning assembly, she focused on the TV screen again.

[Principal: Hello, students of 【This Life’s Academy】.]

[Principal: It’s a very sunny day. Did you all eat breakfast before coming? Our children, if you want to grow up strong and healthy, you must eat breakfast.]

“!”

Wait, why is he here…?

Yewon was flustered.

The ‘principal’ who appeared on screen was veteran actor Yun Gilyeong, whom Yewon knew very well.

Someone she had performed in a play with in her previous life.

‘Our Yewon will become very successful. I can see in this senior’s eyes that she’ll become a great actress.’

At the appearance of one of the few good adults from her previous life, Yewon’s eyes became slightly red.

[Principal: Now I’ll explain today’s first period.]

[Principal: First period is the 【Diagnostic Evaluation】.]

“!”
