Episode 116

The next morning.

After Yewon’s friends had seaweed soup and tteok galbi that Taejung made for breakfast.

With puffy faces from playing excitedly and messy hair, they said goodbye to Yewon.

“Yewon, take care!! We’ll come again!”

“Me, me too! I’ll come with them!”

Baek Yun hastily added to Jeongyun’s words.

Then the eyes of the uncles and grandfather behind Yewon turned strangely fierce.

But naturally, the children didn’t notice at all.

“Yeah. Come play anytime! Yesterday was really fun!”

Yewon spoke sincerely.

Whether it was playing Schnini roles, sword fighting (it was a secret from the adults, but the kids hit the sofa with toy swords thinking of Taeyoung), or playing with Legos.

It had all been really fun.

‘I thought it would be boring since they’re 7-year-olds playing.’

I thought I’d just go along with it… but who knew it would be this fun.

‘Is this why adults still play cops and robbers even when they’re all grown up?’

Maybe this was the appeal…

“…Can I come too?”

When Harin quietly asked from the side, Yewon nodded vigorously.

“Yes! Come all together!”

“Yeah…”

Harin said that and hesitated before suddenly hugging Yewon.

“!”

At that sight, Seonwoo Yeong who was behind them covered her mouth in emotion.

My goodness!

The child who would back away saying ‘…unnecessary contact…’ when touched by others!

“See you at the next filming. Thanks for the chocolate.”

“Yeah!”

Harin must have really liked the marshmallows in the chocolate fountain she ate yesterday!

Her expression looked a bit off, so I worried ‘Is she being conscious because her mom is here?’

Fortunately, it seemed she had enjoyed it.

‘…But that auntie seemed like she didn’t care at all whether Harin ate sweets or not. Why was Harin being so conscious?’

…Could it be that prosecutor I saw yesterday?!

I didn’t think so, but that’s too much!

Whether Yewon was making a big misunderstanding or not, the adults greeted each other as adults.

“Hoho, Doha. Then we’ll contact you again. By the time we meet next, many problems will probably be resolved.”

“…Thank you.”

Really reliable but strangely scary!

The GLEET members all thought that simultaneously as they greeted Seonwoo Yeong.

“And please take good care of our child too?”

“…”

Doha couldn’t bring himself to answer that, so he slightly turned his head away.

No matter how grateful he was, he couldn’t give up Yewon!

“Doha! Doha! The law is very important in this world!! But sometimes fists are closer than the law!!! When you need fists! Don’t forget that! We’re! By your side!”

Manager Ha, who couldn’t back down, said urgently.

“…”

At those words, everyone closed their mouths and stared at Manager Ha.

“Mom, isn’t that a bad thing to say?”

At Jeongyun’s words, Manager Ha made a deflating sound.

“Mom is saying this all for your sake!”

“…”

Something’s strange…

Jeongyun and Baek Yun looked up at their mom and dad who had become very strange in just one day.

The gardener seemed very embarrassed by this situation and kept her head down.

After all the greetings were finished and everyone left one by one.

Seonwoo Yeong left Harin with Secretary Sim who was waiting outside and stayed behind for a moment.

“Did you forget something…?”

Doha asked with puzzled eyes.

Then, as if something occurred to him, he looked at Seonwoo Yeong with wary eyes.

“Our Yewon is off limits.”

“Really, Doha. Don’t worry. I prefer the method of sinisterly stealing hearts through displays of wealth and power and then legally winning them over.”

“…”

This person is dangerous too… Really dangerous…

Doha felt like sirens were going off in his head.

“Rather than that, I stayed because there’s something I want to ask. Could we talk for a moment, just the three of us without Yewon, Director?”

“Ah, yes.”

Doha nodded and sent Yewon to the members.

The members tactfully took Yewon and stepped away for a moment.

“Doha, Director. Have you heard anything about Yewon’s biological father?”

“!”

At the completely unexpected question, both men’s expressions hardened.

“The reason I’m asking this is because I know things will get really messy once the legal disputes begin in earnest. Taeyoung has years of earnings from GLEET, so he’ll try to attack this side by spending all his money. So we’re trying to confirm this to defend as much as possible.”

Seonwoo Yeong explained gently.

Then the two men sighed with dark faces.

“…We haven’t heard anything at all. Just in case, we searched through all the records right after hearing the obituary news… but there was nothing. I understand that’s why they contacted me in the first place.”

Since both Seoha and Doha didn’t have Taejung in their family register, legally Doha was the only family Yewon had left now.

Doha said that and added an explanation.

“So when we separately looked into the biological father’s side, someone appeared claiming to have been very close friends with my sister while she was alive. Saying they were a relative from Yewon’s biological father’s side who had been taking care of my sister continuously.”

“!”

At those words, interest flashed in Seonwoo Yeong’s eyes.

“So believing those words… we almost entrusted Yewon to that person. But later we found out it was a scammer. We thought about pressing charges, but our family already has a lot of noise, and the company’s lawyer said that since we didn’t officially entrust the child to them, even if we sued there wouldn’t be much gain, so we gave up on the lawsuit. Moreover, Yewon wants to be an actress, and actors only suffer image damage the more they get involved in such lawsuits…”

“I see. I understand. But no big gains? I have a slightly different view. There’s no need to give up before even trying to fight.”

Seonwoo Yeong smiled brightly.

“As for the image you’re worried about… if the media cooperates well, it won’t be a big deal. Could I also look into that scammer a bit more?”

“If you would do that… we’d be grateful.”

Doha answered in a daze.

Actually.

Although Yeongeo was helping Doha with these problems, Doha had never strongly stated his position because he owed Yeongeo a lot emotionally.

But what had been continuously bothering him was exactly that scammer.

Now that Seonwoo Yeong was offering to help like this, he finally felt like the frustration in his chest was going down a bit.

“What about you, Director? Do you know anything about the biological father?”

“I haven’t heard who it was either. But my daughter did come to see me once.”

“!”

“She was pregnant with Yewon at that time.”

At those words, Doha looked at Taejung with surprised eyes.

He looked back at Doha with a face full of guilt.

“Of course I asked Seoha. Where the child’s father was, why she didn’t get married… But Seoha…”

‘The child’s father is better off not existing.’

‘!’

‘…The child was an accident…. I wasn’t in a serious relationship with that person either. I didn’t even know him well, and I didn’t want to become family with someone I barely knew. I never even told him about it. I was worried he might ask me to marry him.’

“I heard she met the biological father in the United States. I only heard that he was an exchange student, and there were no other details. She said she returned to Korea because she was afraid the biological father might find out about Yewon’s existence.”

“…I see. I understand. Then, would you two… be okay with us investigating the biological father?”

“….”

Taejung said nothing and only looked at Doha.

Since Doha was currently Yewon’s guardian, he thought it was Doha’s decision to make.

“…Yes.”

Doha made the difficult decision.

He didn’t know what kind of person Yewon’s biological father might be, but it seemed better to know something and make an informed decision rather than be caught off guard.

“However, please… keep it from Yewon. When the time comes, I want to tell her myself.”

At Doha’s words, Seonwoo Yeong nodded.

“Of course. Maintaining confidentiality is a lawyer’s basic principle.”

Seonwoo Yeong said that and added,

“Then really, you two should leave it to me and just focus on Yewon.”

Some time later.

[Breaking news. Former idol group member Mr. Yu attempted to kidnap a 7-year-old girl in broad daylight in the middle of downtown…]

[In particular, the audio file secured during the investigation contains Mr. Yu’s calculated and violent criminal methods, causing even greater shock…]

[…This keeps getting annoying. Hey, just follow along, why are you talking so much- Ugh!]

Yewon looked at the four men all watching the news with serious faces in the living room and was dumbfounded.

“…Aren’t you uncles going to work…?”

!!!!”

At Yewon’s appearance, the GLEET members hurriedly turned off the news.

They had all been secretly watching, worried that it might traumatize Yewon.

“H-how can we go to work!!! Hey!!! Leaving our soft rice cake baby cider behind!!”

“Stop it….”

“…!!!!!!!”

At Yewon’s words, Weon collapsed to the floor as if crumbling.

H-how could she say such a thing!

It wasn’t just Weon who was shocked. The other three members also looked at Yewon with hurt faces.

“What. You… don’t want to be with us, by any chance?”

When Eon asked with a despairing face, Yewon sighed with a mature expression.

“I’m going to work, but uncles can’t just stay home.”

“…Why would we just stay home! I’m going to follow you?! I’m going to work as your manager too!”

Eon said emotionally.

“I want to go with Older Sister Juyeong….”

“You!!!! Hey!!!!! How can you say such things to your uncles!!!! Huh!?!!? How can you abandon us who raised you like precious gold and jade!!!”

“Older Sister Juyeong also treats me like precious gold and jade.”

“…That’s true! But still! Hey!”

Weon paused for a moment, then put both hands on his hips.

Hmph!

Yeonho looked at Weon with very pathetic eyes.

Even worse than a child….

“The uncles just want to go with you because Juyeong is having a hard time, Yewon. We absolutely don’t want to burden you.”

Doha barely came to his senses and spoke to Yewon.

After that incident, Doha had essentially been out of his mind.

He followed Yewon around all day to the point where Yewon said the very sad words, ‘Uncle. It’s not just adults who have privacy, children have it too.’

“Having uncles come seems more burdensome for Older Sister.”

“….”

“I understood the uncles’ feelings until now, so I said it was okay for one of you to come with me during filming. But from today, I want to go with just Older Sister Juyeong.”

Yewon said that, hesitated a little, then added,

“Uncles should do some work too….”

At Yewon’s words, the four men collapsed with a thud.

They no longer had the strength to endure.
