Episode 108

‘Ice Kitty’?

…Is it okay to give someone a nickname like that?! No, why does the Quest window even know such nicknames in the first place?

Yewon felt like holding her forehead for a moment.

The child named Ryuharin who was decided as her partner had an indifferent expression even when Yewon approached and sat down.

Yewon secretly observed Harin.

Snow-white skin and cat-like sharp upturned eyes. And a posture so upright it was hard to believe she was 7 years old. She looked exactly like a young childhood version of Uncle Eon who used to sit on the sofa at Glitt Residence spitting out harsh words.

“Hi? My name is-“

“I know.”

“!”

Yewon was flustered when her attempt to greet with a bright smile was blocked.

Huh….

Could this be a signal saying ‘I don’t want to know your name so don’t introduce yourself’…?

“You.”

“Yeah…?”

“You act pretty well.”

“!”

A compliment…right?

Harin’s way of speaking had an alien feeling, as if an AI was reading pre-programmed text.

Yewon was confused for a moment, not knowing how to react.

‘You act well’ is a compliment, but ‘pretty well’ feels somewhat ambiguous….

“Th, thank you! Harin, you too-“

“No. I’m not as good as you.”

“….”

Yewon looked at the Quest window sparkling beside her with a slightly tearful heart.

Is this right?

Jeongyun, who was watching the scene from the front seat, grabbed Yewon’s collar with a terrified expression and whispered.

“Yewon, she’s really scary. When I greeted her earlier, she just said ‘Do you know me?’ and that was it! So scary!”

Harin didn’t even glance over despite hearing Jeongyun’s gossip. Rather, Jeongyun flinched at her aloof attitude.

But Yewon once again displayed her long-cultivated social skills.

“No way! Harin, when I saw you acting earlier, you had so much charisma and looked so cool. What drama do you like the most?”

At Yewon’s warm question, Harin’s pupils wavered very slightly.

Harin stared at Yewon for a long time, then carefully parted her lips in a small voice as if revealing state secrets.

“…The Flowers of the Eastern Palace.”

“!!!”

At the unexpected answer, not only Jeongyun sitting in front but even Yewon’s eyes widened.

She likes the drama I was in the most?

“Really? Then you must like Jia Unni too! Jia Unni is super nice and acts really well!”

“….”

Harin hesitated for a moment, but soon nodded her head.

Yewon finally felt relieved when Harin nodded.

Finally something we can connect on!

However, Jeongyun found something strange.

Hm?

She doesn’t like Jia Unni…?

“I have chocolate! Harin, do you want some too?”

Yewon took out the chocolate Juyeong had prepared for her earlier and offered it to Harin.

It was meant as ‘There’s no child who dislikes chocolate! I’ll give you this so let’s be friends!’

However.

Harin stared at the chocolate, then took it and quietly put it in her pocket.

Yewon was confused once more by that reaction.

…I meant let’s eat it now?!

“Ha, Harin, don’t you like chocolate? I meant let’s eat it together.”

“….”

At Yewon’s question, Harin pondered for a long time before answering.

“…I’ll save it.”

“!”

What…?

Why would she want to save just one piece of chocolate…?

Yewon was confused for a moment, then a certain memory came to mind.

In her previous life, Fake Uncle wouldn’t tolerate Yewon eating even such snacks. Not just chocolate, but even the tiniest candy was completely forbidden.

Under the pretext that if she gained even a little weight, she’d get fewer jobs.

‘…Could this child also…?’

Yewon looked at Harin with pitying eyes.

Cases of abuse like Yewon’s would be very rare, but maybe her parents are very strict…. To the point where she has to save even such chocolate to eat only when she really wants it…?

“You know, Harin. I have tons of chocolate, want to take them all?! My uncles are advertising models for these, so we have tons and tons at home!”

“Oh? Then give me some too!! Do you have any posters or goods?! With Eon oppa!!”

Yewon pretended not to hear Jeongyun’s words while taking out all the chocolate piled up in her bag and giving it to Harin.

Harin looked at the pile of chocolate, her eyes wavering for a moment, then nodded with a face that seemed to have decided something and opened her bag.

And with her small hands, she swept all the chocolate into her bag.

“Thank you.”

“!!”

Yewon smiled brightly at Harin’s reaction.

Good! Now she can eat whenever she wants chocolate.

“Yeah yeah. If you finish all of these, just tell me. I’ll bring more!”

Harin hesitated for a moment, then muttered quietly.

“I won’t eat them.”

“Uh, huh?!”

She won’t eat them?! Why?!

Confused Yewon asked.

“I’ll save them.”

“…?!”

At another unexpected answer, Yewon looked at Harin with truly pitying eyes.

Could it be that her home is so strict that she’s afraid of even the slightest deviation…?

I feel so bad for her….

Yewon firmly grasped Harin’s hand.

“!”

At Yewon’s reaction, Harin completely froze.

Regardless, Yewon didn’t notice at all and held her hand even tighter.

“You know what. Don’t save them, you can eat them all. I’ll give you more whenever you need them. Okay?”

“…Whenever I need them? Always?”

“Yeah!”

Yewon nodded vigorously.

Right! So you can eat them all!

“…Forever?”

“?!”

Uh… forever…?

Yewon was confused for a moment.

Does she think she won’t be able to escape from home even as an adult?

That’s true. The world is so harsh and difficult that even adults have trouble becoming independent, I think I heard that on the news. I’d have to become an adult myself to know…

Yewon thought for a moment and then nodded.

“Yeah. Forever!”

She might not have the courage to leave home now, but if I work hard to encourage her from now on, she might gain the courage to become independent when she’s an adult!

“….”

Harin looked at Yewon with slightly narrowed eyes.

“Pinky promise?”

She quietly extended her pinky finger.

“Yeah!”

And Yewon hooked her finger with Harin’s without any hesitation.

Then, for the first time, a faint smile appeared on Harin’s face.

Seeing that smile, Yewon felt relieved and smiled along with her.

She really does love chocolate!

She’s finally smiling at the thought of eating as much as she wants.

She likes chocolate this much but can’t eat any at all, so she’s an ice kitty. Uncle Weon said people become cold when their blood sugar drops.

Yewon finally understood why Harin’s nickname was ice kitty.

This kid was just a kitty with low blood sugar!

Just then.

[▶Sub Quest Success!

Making 3 friends of the same age (3/3) Complete!

Our little Yewon, you’ve made three good friends! Now Grandfather and your uncles can really feel at ease when you go to school. You’re so wonderful!

Success Reward: ???

The reward will be provided later, so please wait!]

Huh.

Yewon was surprised by the success notification window that suddenly appeared.

She really must love chocolate.

To become friends just because I gave her chocolate…!

Yewon looked at Harin with touched eyes and gave her a gentle hug.

“Really tell me whenever you need chocolate. I’ll definitely bring some!”

“…Then give me your number.”

“!”

Oh.

At Harin’s words, Yewon scratched her head.

“I don’t have a phone though.”

“….”

At Yewon’s words, worried wrinkles formed on Harin’s brow.

“Ah! Then I’ll give you my uncle’s number! Call this number and say ‘I’m Yewon’s friend, can you put her on?’ and he’ll let me talk!”

Actually.

‘Yewon. This is Uncle’s number.’

‘Huh? This isn’t the number I knew?!’

‘Right. This is a new number that only you and Uncle know. If you ever need to contact teachers or adults you meet while acting, or… friends, you can give them this number.’

‘Aha! Yeah. It’s my personal number?’

‘That’s right. Uncle was going to buy you a phone originally… but other adults around said it’s better to buy phones when you start school.’

‘Okay. Got it!’

Lee Doha had given her a number to use for times like this.

At Yewon’s words, Harin’s brow finally relaxed.

“…That’ll do for now.”

“Yeah! My uncle is really nice too. He’ll buy lots of chocolate!”

As Harin received Lee Doha’s number like that.

“….”

Jeongyun, who had been watching this entire process from the front seat, felt an enormous sense of crisis.

She’s so skilled!

To naturally get our Doha oppa’s number like that!

‘Why didn’t I think of that!?’

“Me, me too! Give me the number! I want to call you too, Yewon!”

“Okay!”

Yewon cheerfully wrote down the number for Jeongyun too.

However, even after getting the number, Jeongyun looked at Harin with slightly raised eyes.

‘This is bad!’

A huge rival has appeared in winning over Yewon!

She even seems really smart. Already getting a lifetime promise!

Jeongyun hurriedly ran to Baek Yun’s seat.

“Hey! Yoo Baekwoon!”

“What!”

“Hey, you’re in big trouble. Someone already stole your position as Yewon’s husband! You need to move quickly too!”

“…?!”

At Jeongyun’s words, Baek Yun’s eyes wavered.

Al, already!? The husband position?! No, that can’t be?! Yewon and I are a couple!

“Who, who to?!”

“Her!”

Jeongyun pointed at Harin with a very secretive gesture.

“!!!!”

Baek Yun checked Harin’s face and panicked.

Huh. She’s really cool-looking!

So Yewon’s type was cool kids like that…!

“She looks way cooler than you. Don’t let your guard down!! Let’s go home today and ask mom for a cucumber face mask!”

“…Okay!”

For some reason, the two children made a strange resolution.
