Episode 110

The phrase ‘Yewon’s friends party’ dropped into the GLEET members’ minds like a massive bomb.

“Invitation?! Of, of course it’s fine! If they’re our baby Saida’s friends, this uncle could even roll out a red carpet for them!”

Weon was the first to make a fuss while agreeing. But his eyes were already filled with anxiety.

“What do kids eat these days?! Back in the day, going to a family restaurant and devouring a bulgogi burger or shrimp burger set and finishing with an ice cream cone was the best! Or I heard elementary kids like malatang these days, but do 7-year-olds eat malatang too?”

“Would that work? Something that spicy? Get it together. We need to prepare healthy food.”

“Then, then we’re making it ourselves? Who’s going to make it?!”

At Weon’s question, the members’ gazes all turned in one direction.

There was only one person here who could make food properly.

“Me?? I’m supposed to make party food for kids??? No, how am I supposed to do that!?!?!?”

“So you’re saying you can’t even do that much for Yewon?”

At Eon’s words, everyone’s gazes focused on Weon again, very pressingly.

Then Weon exploded with frustration but couldn’t say anything.

“Ah!!!! Of course I can do it!!! Ah!!! What do these guys take my heart for, really!!!”

At Weon’s declaration, Eon quietly smiled.

One guy down.

“Friends are coming? …We’ll need to clean first.”

Yeonho was already examining the exercise equipment placed in the corner of the living room. It would be terrible if the children ran around and stubbed their toes on those massive exercise machines.

Wait.

‘…Then that kid Baek Yun is coming too.’

…I should test his stamina while we’re at it.

This house’s living room might not be a playground, but it’s about the size of a yard… roughly… starting with 200 laps…

Yeonho quietly made an insane decision by himself.

Eon looked down at Yewon with an expression of wondering how to organize the party.

“The kids want to come to our house?”

“Yes!”

Yewon recalled her earlier conversation with her friends.

* * *

“Listen. Yewon, do you really live with all your uncles together like on TV?!”

“Yes! Um, Uncle Yeonho… isn’t completely living with us yet though!”

“I’m so jealous!”

Yewon casually said something that would secretly hurt Yeonho’s feelings if he heard it.

“Then have you ever seen other idol sisters and brothers?!”

“No! I’ve never seen them!”

Yewon shook her head. She had never once seen her uncles getting along closely with other people.

…Wait.

Are the uncles’ relationships like this really okay?!

Yewon broke out in a cold sweat.

Quest window. You shouldn’t just give me friend missions, shouldn’t you give them to the uncles too?!

Yewon looked anxiously at the Quest window sparkling beside her.

Then the Quest window, as if it had similar thoughts, hesitated for a moment before opening a new tip.

[Today’s Tip! Adults can choose their own relationships, so it’s okay!]

[Today’s Tip! Children should only worry about themselves!]

…It’s strangely kind to a suspicious degree…

Yewon looked at the Quest window with dubious eyes before turning her head back to her friends.

“Yewon, don’t you have any idols you like separately?!”

“I just like our uncles the most!”

“Well yeah. Your uncles are the most handsome. I acknowledge that.”

Jeongyun quickly acknowledged this, then looked back at Baek Yun while breaking out in a cold sweat.

“…You’re really in big trouble!”

“Why, why am I in big trouble?!”

“Hey. Think about it. Yewon sees the faces of the four most handsome uncles in our country every single day! But you…”

Jeongyun looked Baek Yun up and down.

“You’re not quite at that level.”

“…You look exactly the same as me though?!!?!? Yujeongyun?!!?!?”

“Mom said it. ‘Know thyself.'”

…What kind of person is your mother to say such things?

Yewon turned pale for a moment at Jeongyun’s words.

“Anyway, Harin, you’re coming to Yewon’s house with us too, right?!”

“Leaving me out would be a breach of contract.”

Harin answered with eyes that said don’t ask obvious questions.

“?!”

“What gift should we bring when we go to Yewon’s house? I’m already so worried! Hey, Yoo Baekwoon! Later, let’s ask dad to take us gift shopping for Yewon!”

“Okay!”

Huh, when did it get decided that everyone would come to our house together…?!

Yewon was flustered.

* * *

“First, let’s take out the party supplies we used before. Hang all those up… should we set up a Malrangkamjjikping life-size cutout too?”

“That’s not bad. Set up a Shunini cutout next to it too.”

“….”

No… you don’t need to go that far!

Yewon sighed.

Just when she thought inviting friends might be too much of a burden for her uncles, Lee Doha, who had been quiet, knelt down to match Yewon’s eye level.

“Yewon can invite friends anytime she wants. The uncles will prepare lots of delicious things too.”

At Lee Doha’s kind words, Yewon smiled brightly and hung around his neck.

“Yes! Thank you, Uncle! Harin really loves chocolate, so it would be great if we had chocolate or something!”

“…Uncle will prepare a chocolate fountain.”

“….”

Yewon’s eyes wavered at the mention of a chocolate fountain.

Isn’t that something you only see at buffets or large parties…?

“But Yewon. When are your friends coming?”

“Oh, next Tuesday! On our next filming day! We decided to meet up and all ride in Sister Juyeong’s car! Everyone already got permission.”

…Already got permission too?

At Yewon’s words, Lee Doha was momentarily flustered but soon checked the schedule.

“That’s fortunate. The uncles have a schedule that day too, but it’s an early-ending schedule so we can come back quickly. Still, just in case, I’ll ask Grandfather to come.”

“Okay!”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Saturday, music show 【Music Ten Ten】 first place announcement time.

Since today was the last music show day, the four GLEET members were slightly nervous. They had already won first place before, but maintaining first place for several consecutive weeks wasn’t easy these days.

Actually, they felt the love they had received so far was already more than enough.

The Glows had told Sparkle, ‘We want to keep them at #1 until the end!’ so they felt a burning desire to meet their expectations.

They were so nervous that all four of them couldn’t say a word and just stared stiffly ahead. Anyone looking at them wouldn’t think they were 7-year veterans.

[MC: Congratulations! This week’s 【Music Ten Ten】 #1 winner is- Gleet’s 【Hymn of life】!]

The moment first place was announced.

All four members of Gleet gathered in a circle as if they had planned it, pressing their heads together and embracing each other’s shoulders.

Since they had to give their acceptance speech, it was only a very brief moment, but the time they’d shared flashed by like a panorama and their hearts connected.

The fear that they might never stand in this place again, the anxiety that they might lose each other, the painful doubt about whether they could make a comeback.

However, each other – the reason they were able to overcome all of that.

It was a moment when all of that intersected.

“…Always, thank you to the Glows. The people who believed in us when even we couldn’t believe in ourselves… We dedicate this song to those people. 【Hymn of life】, a hymn to life. To the Glows who made it possible for me to love my life, to praise it… I want to praise you.”

Lee Doha said that and passed the microphone to Eon.

Eon looked at Lee Doha as if surprised, then chuckled and gripped the microphone tightly.

Though they’d given acceptance speeches nearly 10 times already, since Eon was someone who was shy about these occasions, this was the first time the microphone had come to him.

“First, Glow. We love you. We four will always belong to the Glows.”

The members beside him smiled at Eon’s short but powerful words.

“And members. You worked hard, and let’s keep doing well together until we’re sick of it.”

At the word “sick,” Weon quietly booed with “Ooh…” but Eon lightly ignored it.

“And to our little one at home watching this broadcast. Your uncles will come home soon. Let’s eat something delicious together.”

At Eon’s calm words, the members shook their heads one last time and bowed to greet the fans.

* * *

[Eon: And members. You worked hard, and let’s keep doing well together until we’re sick of it.]

As Eon said, it would have been fortunate if only Yewon had been watching that acceptance speech.

Unfortunately, there was one person watching that acceptance speech while clenching his fists so tightly that his hands were bleeding.

“…”

It was Taeyoung.

They said next Tuesday, didn’t they.

That kid’s filming.

Taeyoung inquired through staff he knew to track Yewon’s movements. Her appearance programs and filming times.

And Taeyoung was planning to meet that kid directly.

Actually.

He wasn’t thinking of doing anything to Yewon. No, he had thought about it, but.

In the end, his cowardice broke his courage.

Taeyoung’s plan was to simply find that kid and coax her gently saying ‘I’m uncle’s friend, let’s go eat something delicious for a bit,’ then tell Lee Doha ‘I have your niece’ to draw him out.

After taking Yewon briefly, if Gleet would just delete that recording file, he’d threaten them a bit more then let her go.

Then no one would get hurt, and everything could just end nicely.

As long as that bastard Lee Doha cooperated properly.

Originally he was thinking of contacting Lee Doha directly and telling him to either mutually self-destruct or delete the file and keep his mouth shut.

But somehow, Lee Doha had completely blocked him so there was absolutely no way to contact him.

And unlike when they did group activities together, he wanted to properly scare Lee Doha who had become brighter.

Most of all, for Taeyoung who thought Lee Doha was the only one in Gleet his pressure would work on, it was an unavoidable choice.

As long as that recording file existed, he couldn’t work in the entertainment industry.

This was a matter of livelihood for him.

Because of the lawsuit with TwoTrack, money was bleeding out, making it even more so.

‘…’

Taeyoung hesitated until the very last moment.

But soon he emptied his mind.

This was all because of Gleet.

If those bastards would just come to their senses and cooperate, no one would get hurt.

No one.

And so madness filled with anxiety began to seep into Taeyoung’s eyes.
