Episode 109

That evening.

After all the filming was finished, a luxury sedan stopped in front of the filming set.

The person who got out of the car was a middle-aged secretary wearing a wrinkle-free suit and glasses.

“Miss Harin, you’ve worked hard. Your mother is waiting. Shall we head home?”

“Yes.”

As soon as Harin got into the back seat of the car, she opened the bag she had been carefully holding.

Inside were chocolates that Yewon had given her by the handful. The secretary saw this scene through the rearview mirror and carefully asked.

“Miss, what is that?”

The secretary looked at the chocolates with suspicious eyes.

Harin was someone with very particular and admirable taste buds who wouldn’t even touch such sweet things.

“A lifetime contract.”

“…Excuse me?”

“…Something like collateral for it.”

“?!”

The secretary was flustered by Harin’s choice of words “lifetime contract,” but soon closed his mouth.

The words this 7-year-old used were sometimes excessively legal or heavy, perhaps due to the family’s background.

The car stopped in front of a huge mansion in Pyeongchang-dong, Seoul.

As soon as they passed through the main gate and entered the entrance, the atmosphere felt completely different from the warmth of the filming set.

In the living room, thick law books and documents were piled up like a library, and photos of ancestors who had served as Supreme Court justices and prosecutor generals hung solemnly on the walls.

This was the main house of the ‘Ryu’ family, known as the legal elite of South Korea.

Harin’s grandfather was a former Supreme Court justice, her father was a current chief prosecutor, and her mother was a partner lawyer at the country’s largest law firm. The entire family consisted only of legal professionals.

So Harin was a child who had grown up listening to legal precedents instead of lullabies since birth.

“I’m home.”

At Harin’s greeting, Harin’s father, Prosecutor Ryu Jinhyeok, who had been sitting on the living room sofa reviewing documents, took off his glasses and looked up.

“Yes, you worked hard. How was today’s filming?”

“It was enjoyable. I also secured collateral.”

“Collateral?”

Harin took out one chocolate from her bag and placed it on the table.

Prosecutor Ryu stared at the chocolate with sharp eyes.

It was the kind of look one would give when examining crucial evidence in a serious case.

“What is the source of this?”

“Yewon.”

“Ah, from your favorite drama? The child from the scene you’ve watched 246 times?”

“Yes.”

“To succeed in securing your favorite child from the first day, you have good skills just like my daughter.”

“Thank you.”

“Good. How did you secure that child?”

“She promised to provide me with this chocolate for life. It was a verbal contract, but there were witnesses too.”

Prosecutor Ryu’s brow furrowed.

“Lifetime contracts have a high possibility of being invalid under civil law. Did you review it properly?”

“We did a pinky promise.”

“Pledging body parts is illegal.”

Prosecutor Ryu spoke in a stern tone. Even though his daughter was only 7 years old, he couldn’t tolerate such illegal behavior.

Just then, Harin’s mother, lawyer Seonwoo Yeong, who was returning from work, entered the living room. She saw the chocolate on the table and her daughter’s serious face and burst into laughter.

“What kind of interrogation are you conducting on the child again?”

“Our daughter is already engaging in illegal activities-“

“What are you talking about? I told you to control that family trait of yours.”

“…”

But it’s true…

Prosecutor Ryu stepped back, looking dejected.

“Our daughter. How was today’s filming~? Did you make any friends?”

“Yes.”

“!!”

Sh-she already made a friend?

Seonwoo Yeong was flustered.

Even though she was her own daughter, Harin really had… an extraordinary personality.

That’s why she had deliberately sent her to the program to develop some social skills.

To think the effect would be this good!

“R-really? What kind of friend?”

She didn’t threaten someone into being her friend, did she…?

Seonwoo Yeong asked with an anxious heart.

After all, she had ended up with her husband, Prosecutor Ryu, because she had been swayed by his ridiculous line: “Please give me just one chance. I will prove that I can be the best husband by doing my utmost.”

“Her name is Yewon.”

“Ah!! Mom knows her from watching ‘Glittering Baby House.’ It’s that girl from there? She did seem really kind.”

“She’s kind.”

“Does Yewon seem to like Harin too?”

“Yes. We made a verbal contract for life.”

Seonwoo Yeong was moved by Harin’s words.

My goodness! To be lifelong friends with our child…!

She smiled brightly, vowing that if GLEET ever had any problems requiring a lawyer, she would stake the law firm’s honor on solving those problems.

“That’s great, Harin. Have fun with your friend.”

“Yes.”

Harin thought for a moment, then added.

“Mother. But my friend doesn’t have a phone, so communication might not be smooth.”

“What? That won’t do.”

Seonwoo Yeong frowned.

After finally making a friend!

If they couldn’t contact each other, there was a possibility they might naturally drift apart. And she had no intention of allowing even the slightest possibility of that!

“Mom will buy 100 phones for you. Tell that friend she can use them freely since she can lose them.”

“I’ll relay that message.”

“Yes, yes. Our daughter. Do your best to maintain your friendship with your friend.”

“I’ll work hard at it.”

At her daughter’s mature response, Seonwoo Yeong smiled warmly.

Actually, when Harin said she wanted to become an actress, there was chaos in the family.

There was grandfather’s scolding asking “Do you intend to go against our family tradition,” but despite her young age, Harin confronted him logically.

‘An actor is someone who represents people’s hearts. Just as mother and father represent people in court, I want to represent characters on stage.’

That bold aspiration eventually earned permission, and that’s how Harin came to walk the path of an actress.

Seonwoo Yeong looked at the chocolates filling her daughter’s bag and thought.

‘…Should I contact that child’s family first? To see if there’s any trash to clean up… I mean, any legal issues?’

For her daughter’s relationships, it was a mother’s heart that could do anything.

Meanwhile, at Yewon’s house.

In the living room, GLEET, who had already finished their schedule and returned, was waiting for Yewon.

“Our baby bird!!!!! How was filming today?! Did you use the skills Uncle taught you?!”

Weon quickly ran over and scooped Yewon up in his arms as he asked.

Behind them, Doha watched the two with dejected eyes, thinking ‘I was… going to hug her first…’

“Yeah! Everyone really likes you uncles! Jeongyun says Uncle Eon is her favorite!”

“What?! Not me?! Ian?! Our baby cider didn’t mishear, did she?!”

“If it’s Glow, I’m bound to be the favorite.”

At Yewon’s words, Eon raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction.

“I made lots of friends too!”

“!!!”

At the word ‘friends’, all four members of GLEET tensed up.

The text Juyeong had sent today had already lodged itself deep in their hearts, leaving quite significant aftereffects.

[I also had a time when my niece used to follow only me around]

[But once she started school, she said she didn’t need her aunt anymore and that friends were the best]

Friends were the best… were the best… didn’t need anymore… didn’t need anymore…

These sentences had been floating around in all four of their heads.

“It’s not a boy, right?”

“Hm? Baek Yun is a boy!”

“….”

As soon as Baek Yun’s name came up, the expressions of all four darkened even more.

They really should have taken some kind of action back then!

“Wh-what about the other friends?!”

Weon asked urgently.

“Yeah. I became friends with Harin and Jeongyun too! But I don’t have a phone, so I gave them the emergency number Uncle Doha gave me. Is that… okay…?”

“Of course. You can just hand out Lee Doha’s number to anyone, what’s the big deal.”

Eon said firmly from behind.

It’s a hundred times better than Yewon giving out her own number. Plus we can check who these kids are!

“….”

Handing it out to everyone probably isn’t a good idea. Even if it is an emergency contact.

Yeonho quietly frowned from behind.

Did these guys forget what our job is?

“Uncle.”

Just then, Yewon peeked her head out and called to Doha.

“Yes, Yewon.”

“Can I… invite my friends over to the house…?!”

“!!!!”

Faced with this sudden mission, all four froze on the spot.

A-a kids’ friendship party that we have to…!

Can we pull this off…!
