Episode 11
“You poor soul. When someone says ‘very well done,’ don’t you know what that means?”
Weon clicked his tongue as if he found it pathetic.
“Wh-what does it mean…?”
“It’s called sarcasm, mockery, sneering, ridicule. Very~ well~ done~ Yeongeo. Just like that.”
“…!!”
Whether Yeongeo’s mouth fell open or not, Weon put a wrap in Yewon’s mouth as she sat across from him.
“Hey, kid. Eat the bossam. Your uncle seems too busy to take care of you, so this mister will look after you.”
“…I’m not a kid!!”
“Yeah. Kid. Chew it well and eat it deliciously~”
“…”
“If I’m a mister then you’re a kid~ If you want to be called a child instead of kid, then make me uncle again~”
Yewon chewed thoroughly despite her frustration.
That’s impossible, you’ll forever be a mister.
“…What else did the CEO say.”
At Doha’s low voice, Yeongeo kept glancing around nervously.
“Um. He said to bring Yewon to the company tomorrow to introduce her. Since we’re family now, we should at least meet face to face…”
“That’s strange. Our CEO isn’t the type to speak so warmly. Don’t filter it through your own lens. Recite exactly what the CEO said, word for word.”
“He really said it like that…”
Yeongeo said with a tearful expression at Weon’s objection.
“That iron-blooded CEO really said that? Then Lee Doha, you’re in real big trouble. I’ll give you a grand funeral.”
“Why would I be.”
“No, it’s like this normally. When a scary person speaks kindly, it’s only when they’re about to kill someone. Death flag. Yeah.”
“…”
It was Yewon whose face turned pale at Weon’s matter-of-fact words.
Yewon had also heard about Time Entertainment’s CEO in passing.
The greatest talent of this era who independently left Wonder Entertainment, a mega entertainment agency, in his early 30s to establish Time Entertainment and instantly grew it into one of the top 3 agencies.
…Rumor had it he was someone who wouldn’t bleed even if stabbed.
A really, really scary person…
Such a person wants to see me?
Yewon looked up at Doha with frightened eyes.
However, surprisingly, Doha had a calm expression as if he wasn’t particularly worried.
“Tell him we’ll go tomorrow afternoon. I’ll bring Yewon.”
“Seriously? Lee Doha, you’ve really gotten bold since raising this kid. Childcare is this incredible, everyone.”
When Weon clicked his tongue, Doha glared at him.
“Given the nature of the situation, it would be proper to visit and greet him at least once. Instead, if he says anything strange, I just won’t renew my contract.”
“!!”
“It’s contract renewal season soon, and he knows better than anyone who needs whom more.”
The other three people clicked their tongues at Doha’s nonchalant voice.
“Come to think of it, we’re already in our 7th year, aren’t we?”
Weon giggled.
At times like this, that guy Lee Doha wasn’t ordinary either.
“Is it really okay…?”
When Yewon asked worriedly, unable to watch anymore, Doha chuckled and placed his hand on Yewon’s head.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry.”
“Still…”
“And, CEO Park.”
“?”
“He might be a scary person, but he’s not a bad person.”
“…!”
Even with Doha’s assertion, Yewon’s expression didn’t ease easily.
Will this meeting really be okay…?
* * *
The fateful day.
“I’ll adopt her.”
“!!!”
It’s not okay at all!!!
Yewon and Doha received a very shocking proposal from ‘CEO Park who isn’t a bad person.’
Crack.
It sounded like stone splitting somewhere.
That’s how much the two had turned to stone, staring blankly at CEO Park.
“Wow, our CEO. Look at that generosity. Wow. I’m really, CEO. Moved. Not by your heart, but by that scale.”
“Quiet, Hanwon.”
“That boldness to catch Lee Doha even like that! Long live capitalism! Wow! I should learn from this.”
“Won’t you shut your mouth?”
When CEO Park growled, Weon immediately pretended to zip his mouth shut.
Now that it was finally quiet, CEO Park cleared his voice again and spoke.
“I’m serious, Doha. And I think this is the best solution for everyone right now.”
“…”
“I heard all about Yewon’s situation from Yeongeo… I’m already 53 years old, wouldn’t it be natural to have a granddaughter rather than a daughter at this age? It would be good for me to have a daughter at this opportunity.”
“…”
Even the great Lee Doha seemed to have lost his words, as this was truly beyond his expectations.
‘…Wow.’
He looks too young to be 53?
Yewon looked at CEO Park with inner admiration.
CEO Park had such a charismatic yet sharp appearance that she thought she’d like to look like that when she became 50.
“Wow. Getting a daughter in one shot is quite a gain, CEO. Come to think of it, skipping the husband who would obviously just cause heartache and directly getting such a pretty daughter is definitely a win for you…”
“I told you to keep your mouth shut.”
“My mouth is just itching~”
Whatever Weon was babbling about, CEO Park himself seemed serious as he looked straight at Doha.
“Anyway Doha, you rejected the person Yeongeo found for you. And that was at the funeral home where everyone could see. Someone who recognized you as real family.”
“…”
Yewon’s eyes wavered at the words ‘real family.’
Wait.
Fake Uncle was… real family?
‘But Jeyeon said we weren’t real family.’
What exactly happened?
I just thought I was a stranger that Uncle Doha ended up taking care of by chance…
What kind of relative could he be?
Yewon resolved to ask Doha about it again later.
“…Anyway Doha, what were you thinking when you did that?”
“…That’s-“
“I said I didn’t like him!”
“!”
CEO Park looked at her with surprised eyes at Yewon’s sudden interruption.
“That mister said really scary things. So I said I didn’t like him.”
“He said… scary things?”
“Yes.”
CEO Park looked bewildered.
Of course he would. The person his manager had carefully found had apparently said scary things to a child, so he’d be flustered.
But I have plenty to say about this too.
That man you found for me abused me like that and even ended up killing me in the end.
“May I ask what he said?”
“He told me I’d have to work very, very hard from now on. That I’d have to pay back all the debt Mother left behind, he whispered to me!”
…It wasn’t at the funeral home, and it’s something that happens in the future, but let’s skip that part.
Anyway, it’s true that he really said those things.
“!”
At Yewon’s words, the faces of all the adults present hardened frighteningly.
“…What did you say?”
This was Doha,
“Is that really true? That man said that? What else did he say?”
This was Yeongeo,
“Wow, how did we even find a bastard like Park Yeongeo? Shouldn’t we report this to the police? No, is he crazy? No. Let’s bring him here first.”
This was Weon,
“Sor, sor, sor, sorry… No, this isn’t the time for that, we need to talk to the lawyer again right away!”
This was Yeongeo.
All four adults were getting angry on Yewon’s behalf.
Yewon blinked, finding the adults’ anger somewhat unfamiliar.
Having someone truly angry like this for her sake was really… the first time since Mother.
“…I must be crazy.”
“!”
Doha said, clenching his fists tightly.
“I should have looked into it more. If he was a relative willing to volunteer to raise Yewon, there’s no way there wouldn’t have been any contact all this time. I should have been suspicious from the moment she said she’d never met him before.”
“…Since Yewon’s father passed away early, there was no contact, so how could we not believe that? It’s not like there were any other relatives… That person seemed like the best option at the time.”
At Doha’s angry voice, Yeongeo looked troubled as he tried to calm him down.
From what she could gather from the situation, Fake Uncle seemed to be family from Father’s side, not Mother’s side.
‘…Then he should have said that, why did he say he was a relative from Mother’s side?’
It was all incomprehensible.
“I’m sorry, Yewon. I didn’t know that man was such a bad person. We’ll definitely punish that man for you.”
Yeongeo apologized to Yewon with a sincere expression.
Instead of answering, Yewon nodded and hugged Doha’s arm tightly.
Then Yeongeo spoke up again.
“…Anyway. Then I’m even more the best option. If we can’t trust other people, I’d be the best alternative.”
“!”
