Episode 123

* * *

Meanwhile, at the 【Alice in the Winter Forest】 filming set.

“…Hueng-eong…”

There was a little girl crying quietly inside the car.

‘No, Jeyeon. What are you going to do if you can’t even do this, haa. Really…’

‘What? Practice? That’s… I think you should just do that by yourself…’

‘Cut! Hey!! Are you going to act properly or not!!’

For several months, Jeyeon had been experiencing every humiliation imaginable at the 【Alice in the Winter Forest】 filming set—things she had never experienced before.

In fact, Jeyeon had been quite lucky until now. She had only worked on sets where adults treated children like children.

But for the first time, she had come to a place where inhuman people gathered.

So Jeyeon couldn’t adapt even more. The adults who had always been kind to her were now, for some reason, all turning away or only scolding her.

The role she was assigned was more difficult than any other work, and the adults were only making her life miserable.

She simply couldn’t endure it.

Eventually, Jeyeon went to Big Uncle, the representative of Mirae Entertainment.

‘I, I want to quit. Everyone’s weird! They just keep cursing at me…!’

‘So?’

‘Huh?’

‘Ah. Well… Yeah. You want to quit? Right in the middle of filming? Okay. Then you should quit. Tell your dad to send the penalty fee.’

At those words, Jeyeon naturally ran to her dad with joy.

Of course, dad would say ‘quit right now, I’ll figure out the penalty fee somehow.’

But.

‘What? You want to give up? Penalty fee? We don’t even have money to eat right now…! What kind of nonsense are you talking about! How hard was it to get this job! Don’t you know you won’t have any work at all without this?! Then we’ll be, completely broke… No! Absolutely not!’

Even her dad, who had always taken her side and comforted her, completely turned into a demon at Jeyeon’s single statement that she wanted to quit.

“Hueng-eong…”

Seeing her dad like this for the first time, Jeyeon cried the most pitifully in the world.

There was no one on her side anywhere.

This was the first time something like this had happened.

Jeyeon desperately longed for someone to be on her side.

The next day, at the department store.

Yewon was choosing a school bag with her uncles, wearing masks and hats.

“Yewon, how about this one?!!?”

“Hmm?”

Yewon looked at the school bag Weon had chosen. And she froze on the spot.

The bag Weon had chosen was strawberry milk pink with Shunini printed as large as a main gate.

“….”

Even though I’m 7 years old, isn’t that a bit… too… childishly flashy?

“But I want something a bit… more… umm… ordinary.”

“Isn’t this pretty ordinary for an 8-year-old’s bag?”

Weon tilted his head.

All the elementary kids Weon knew carried bags like this.

Had the trend changed already?!

“What color bag do you want?”

“Black.”

Yewon answered firmly to Eon’s question. For a turbulent teenager, there was no choice other than a black bag.

“…?”

And Eon paused for a moment at the answer that wasn’t typical of a 7-year-old girl.

But he soon understood.

“As expected, you take after me and know how to lead trends. Yeah. Black is the trend. Should we look for this year’s color?”

“….”

I don’t want to go that far…

Instead of saying that, Yewon pointed to a relatively ordinary bag that was black with a small white ribbon.

“I want that one!”

At Yewon’s words, all the uncles paused.

The bag she pointed to was… simple enough to disappoint their expectations.

“Why…? Is that one no good?”

Yewon asked as if she was hurt by her uncles’ reaction.

“No, no. It’s Yewon’s bag, so Yewon should choose.”

Lee Doha hurriedly shook his head and picked up the bag Yewon had chosen.

“This one, right?”

“Yeah!”

At Yewon’s answer, all four people simultaneously pulled out their cards.

“….”

“….”

“….”

“….”

And they looked at each other at the same time.

‘I absolutely want to buy this for her!’

It’s my niece’s first bag!

All four people had the same thought simultaneously.

Without even a starting gunshot.

The four people quickly ran toward the counter.

“Hoot.”

“….”

“Exercise, I told you to exercise.”

Naturally, the winner was Yeonho, the owner of muscles built through exercise.

It wasn’t because Yeonho was the fastest runner.

‘Argh!!!! Wow!!!! Seo Yeonho, is this for real???? Did you just kick me??? Seriously?? Really??’

‘Get out of the way. Insignificant fool.’

Weon had been in first place, but Yeonho had suppressed him with force.

“Just wait and see…”

Weon glared at Yeonho while suppressing his anger. That damn muscle-head! How petty!

Eon and Lee Doha had dropped out of the competition early, so although they were breathing heavily, they just watched Seo Yeonho pay while resigned.

“Now that we’ve bought everything, are we going home?”

Regardless of what her uncles were doing, Yewon, who was now getting a bit used to this, asked.

“No?”

“Huh?”

“How can you buy just one bag for school? You need to buy at least 5. The bag could tear. You should have backup bags ready.”

“…?”

At Eon’s words, Yewon looked at him with puzzled eyes. What would you do at school to tear a bag?

I went to school too, but I never tore a bag.

The flustered Yewon looked back at Doha, but Doha also nodded as if he agreed.

“Should we buy 10….”

That’s not right either….

Yewon was momentarily speechless.

Just then.

Ding!

[‘Someone’ vehemently protests to ‘Something’! – An unacceptable Quest]

[‘Something’ snorts! – It’s all part of my grand plan for the child]

[‘Someone’ argues with ‘Something’ – This is truly irresponsible behavior!]

[‘Something’ shrugs – I’m naturally irresponsible. That’s something only humans have.]

[‘Someone’ angrily intervenes! – Quest content modification]

[※Warning!※ Quest content cannot be excessively modified]

[‘Someone’ doesn’t give up and does their best to modify the content!]

“…?”

What kind of conversation is this?

Yewon was momentarily confused by the argument that seemed familiar from before.

But before she could think about what was happening, the message windows flickered and a new window appeared.

[▶Sub Quest Generated! – 【Crossroads of Choice】

There’s one more person at the department store who came to buy a school bag.

Someone you know very well – ‘Jeyeon’, who pushed you off the terrace in your previous life.

‘Jeyeon’ is going through tremendous hardship because of 【Alice in the Winter Forest】.

Of course she is. Look what she did. The contract was made for revenge in the first place, so why give her another chance to choose? She should obviously fail even more spectacularly, right? She’d think so too, right? I really can’t understand humans

It’s the same pain you experienced because of the ‘Fake Uncle’ and ‘Jeyeon’ from your previous life.

You can either help ‘Jeyeon’, or pretend not to know and let her pay for her past sins.

【Choice 1 – Ignore and let her pay more for her sins】

: Just continue shopping as if nothing happened. You won’t run into each other.

【Choice 2 – Forgive and help her escape】

: Go to the women’s restroom right now.

I really don’t understand why they’re giving choices for this. She killed her. She’s a murderer

Whichever choice you make, that choice will definitely be the right one.

I’m not trying to say you must forgive her. You don’t have to forgive.

You’ve suffered enough pain.

But whether to forgive or not depends entirely on you.

Others shouldn’t decide for you.]

“…!”

Yewon’s face hardened at the Quest window that appeared before her eyes.

What kind of twist of fate is this again?

Her face hardened even more.

You want me to decide this right now?

The result of what I suffered in that house for 7 years?

‘Now that I know the truth, you’ve become completely useless. Goodbye, Older Sister.’

Yewon could still vividly remember the words and expression Jeyeon had when she pushed her off the terrace.

Actually, if it weren’t for that, forgiving Jeyeon would have been easier than expected.

You had to become evil to survive in that hellish house too, you wouldn’t have turned out that way if you had grown up under good adults… she would have thought.

There was no reason to forgive Fake Uncle at all, but since Jeyeon was young like herself, maybe she could forgive her after a long time passed.

But those words and face from when she was falling, which she saw whenever she closed her eyes, kept holding onto Yewon’s heart.

Just then.

“…Yewon?”

“!”

Yewon met the worried eyes of her uncles looking at her.

“Are you sick somewhere? You’re suddenly breaking out in cold sweat….”

“What!?!?! Our baby is sick?!!? Everyone move!!!!”

“Stop making a fuss. Just take her to the hospital. Go to the emergency room.”

“….”

Listening to the four people’s worries, Yewon somehow felt drained.

What would have happened if Jeyeon had grown up under such good adults?

Yewon looked at the good adults in front of her and at herself, who had received abundant affection.

…I see.

The current me was growing up under good adults.

Then I….

“…I….”

She soon let out a deep sigh.

“Huh?!!?!”

“Tell us. Where does it hurt?”

“Are you okay, Yewon?”

“….”

And then, as if she had made up her mind, she squeezed her eyes shut and opened her mouth.

“I want to go to the restroom!”

“….”

The uncles were confused.

She said that so solemnly?

“Oh, yes. You needed the restroom urgently….”

“You should have said so earlier. Why did you hold it in? Are we that kind of relationship?”

“….”

Yewon regretted it for a very brief moment.

…Sigh….

What glory am I trying to achieve….
