Episode 125
* * *
So, Mrs. Ju’s perspective was like this.
She naturally knew about Jeyeon’s existence.
Mrs. Ju, who learned that Yewon was her granddaughter, naturally immediately asked her secretary to find out everything about Yewon.
The secretary urgently reported the publicly revealed incidents first.
From the controversy over Jeyeon’s attitude at 【The Flowers of the Eastern Palace】 script reading site to recent incidents involving Taeyoung.
So Mrs. Ju also remembered how Jeyeon had acted maliciously toward Yewon.
Also.
How Yeongho dared to lay hands on Yewon at Mrs. Ju’s department store.
‘The child aside. A grown adult created a hostile atmosphere toward a child…’
Having received reports containing testimonies from store employees, even without knowing the detailed circumstances, she could guess the extent of the bad relationship between that family and Yewon.
So when Mrs. Ju saw Jeyeon crying in the restroom stall, she was startled and at the same time-
‘…Oh!’
She had expectations.
By seeing how her granddaughter dealt with that child, she could understand her granddaughter’s personality.
Whatever personality her granddaughter had, she would love her enough that it wouldn’t hurt to put her in her eyes.
Still, as a grandmother, wasn’t it an inevitable desire to hope her granddaughter had good character?
Especially when all three sons she had raised were called heartless management monsters.
So after quietly watching Yewon.
‘My goodness!’
Yewon’s behavior was exactly the character Mrs. Ju had hoped for.
If Yewon had just kindly comforted that child and fussed over her, Mrs. Ju would have found Yewon lovable but also worried at the same time.
In an excessively wealthy family like the Hyun Family, there would be countless things too difficult for a kind but fragile child to endure.
However.
Yewon didn’t simply comfort Jeyeon, but responded maturely yet firmly.
‘How on earth did our daughter-in-law raise that child…?’
Could she have overcome the genes of the cursed Hyun Family?
Mrs. Ju was moved to the point of tears.
If it had been her sons, how would they have dealt with this situation?
Mrs. Ju briefly imagined.
If it were the eldest,
‘…?’
He wouldn’t have even noticed and passed by.
That guy had no interest in humans themselves, whether they were enemies or whatever.
Then what about the second son, who was the granddaughter’s father?
‘The act of shedding tears is inefficient.’
…He would have said something like that.
Then the youngest?
‘If you’re going to cry, go home and cry. Don’t cry in someone else’s business place and be a nuisance.’
…He definitely would have said that.
Thinking of her three hopeless sons, Mrs. Ju became even more desperate for the granddaughter before her eyes.
‘Right now! I need to bring this child to our house right now!’
She was going crazy wanting to bring this rabbit-like granddaughter to this shabby household!
…However, this was Mrs. Ju’s perspective.
From Yewon’s perspective, it couldn’t help but be very bewildering.
A stranger suddenly grabs my hand and gives me strange compliments!
“Huh, huh?!!?”
Yewon looked up at Mrs. Ju in confusion.
Wh-why is this person acting like this?
Seeing Yewon look so surprised, Mrs. Ju quickly took off her sunglasses.
“Oh my, sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.”
Mrs. Ju immediately let go of Yewon’s hand that she had been gripping tightly and explained.
“Um, I, I am a fan of yours, Yewon. I enjoyed watching 【The Flowers of the Eastern Palace】, and I’m watching 【This Life, I’m an Actor】 very enjoyably too. I was passing by and spotted you, thinking maybe I could get an autograph, but, um, you were so admirable that I…”
Mrs. Ju did her best to make excuses.
She couldn’t let her granddaughter discover her identity yet.
“Ah…!”
Aha!
Yewon quickly understood and nodded.
She was a fan…!
‘That’s why she could give such tremendous praise…!’
Anyone would think I was almost like her granddaughter…
What a surprise.
“Th-thank you! Hehe.”
Yewon’s guard dropped a little at the mention of being a fan.
“Um, but… I think my uncles are waiting. May I go to my uncles?”
Still, being alone with a strange adult isn’t quite right!
At Yewon’s words, Mrs. Ju nodded very vigorously.
How could our granddaughter be so perfect from one to ten!
This cautiousness of maintaining manners while not immediately trusting a strange adult’s words and being wary first!
“Of course! Naturally! Go to your uncles quickly. And keep being wary of strange adults like this!”
“?!”
But, aren’t you also a strange adult…?
Yewon was confused but bowed and left the restroom.
What a strange adult…!
* * *
The five people who resumed shopping at the department store were.
“…I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but don’t you think the store security people have been staring at us a lot since earlier?”
They were bewildered by the gazes they could feel so intensely that the back of their heads tingled.
“You felt it too?! Me too!!!!”
At Lee Doha’s words, Weon nodded vigorously.
Everyone was watching them to a strange degree!
“…I guess it’s because we’re celebrities…?”
“For that, they had strange looks in their eyes…”
Eon also seemed uncomfortable, with a displeased expression.
Then.
Something caught his eye.
“Hey, Lee Doha. Isn’t that guy the person? That one who scammed you back then-“
“Right. It’s the guy who impersonated an uncle at Mirae Entertainment.”
“What should we do? Let’s take Yewon and go somewhere else-“
The moment the GLEET members spotted Yeongho walking with Jeyeon and were about to turn away.
“?!”
Several security personnel appeared from nowhere, approached Yeongho and Jeyeon, and escorted him out of the department store.
“What, what’s going on…?”
The moment the four men were confused.
Someone approached them with a kind smile and greeted them.
“Hello, I’m Team Leader Jeong Jiwoo from the Haion Department Store Security Team.”
“Oh, yes. Hello…”
“First of all, you must have been surprised to encounter that individual again after the previous unpleasant incident?”
They had been keeping track of all that too!
GLEET and Yewon’s eyes widened.
“Our Haion Department Store operates on the principle of firm and strict responses to risk factors to create a safe shopping environment for our customers. We would like to inform you that we take immediate action through thorough isolation, especially for matters that threaten the safety of child customers. We will do our utmost to ensure you can spend peaceful time here.”
“…?!”
Was, was that what it was…?
GLEET and Yewon were flustered.
Do department stores normally go this far…?
Though it was confusing, since they said it was a measure to protect children, it wasn’t incomprehensible.
“Well then, I hope you have a comfortable time. Please let us know if you need anything.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you…”
The four men bowed their heads in greeting.
What is this, really…?
Though they were confused, as the five people continued shopping, Team Leader Jeong let out a sigh of relief.
And for good reason.
‘Team Leader Jeong.’
‘Yes, ma’am.’
‘I heard there was an incident last time where someone threatened a child actor at one of the stores… I wonder how our security team responds to such incidents…? Threatening a child. Our department store’s image…’
‘!!!!!’
‘A person can make a mistake once, but if they make a mistake twice… that won’t do, right? Our department store’s image mustn’t be damaged. Right?’
‘Of, of, of, of course!!! Ma’am!!!’
Mrs. Ju, who had never made such direct remarks since her retirement, had specifically mentioned ‘security.’
She who had refused even the honorary chairman title for her sons’ solid management rights and decided to remain solely as ‘Mrs. Ju’ was stepping forward like this?
Team Leader Jeong had an intuition.
‘If I mess this up, I’m dead…!’
There was absolutely no way he could go against the words of Haion’s true power holder.
So he had immediately instructed his subordinates.
If an incident happens today, we’re all dead together.
And this was the result of that.
‘…Phew!’
Thank goodness. I finished it without any incidents!
Team Leader Jeong wiped away his cold sweat.

Inside the car returning after finishing shopping.
“Today was really a strange day.”
At Eon’s words, the GLEET members and Yewon nodded as if they greatly agreed.
“But Haion Department Store’s security was incredible. I should only use that place for shopping from now on.”
“You think so too? Me too!!”
At Eon’s words, Weon nodded vigorously.
“We can feel safe at a place like that!”
While the GLEET members were saying that, Yewon alone shook her head.
“No.”
“Huh?!”
“That place seems to have bad energy, Uncle.”
“!!!!”
We ran into Fake Uncle and Jeyeon twice there.
It definitely had bad energy.
“Let’s go to a different department store from now on.”
At Yewon’s firm words, the four people immediately changed their attitude.
“Ah!!! Of course!! Let’s go wherever our baby Saida wants to go!!!”
“Just buy things online now. Is there any need to go outside? Or Lee Doha, you go out alone and buy things. Why make the kid go to such places? You can go to ominous places by yourself.”
“…”
At Eon’s cold words, Lee Doha stared at him.
“But do I have to go? You could come with me too…”
“What are you saying? Shouldn’t one of us stay by Yewon’s side to watch her? Among Seo Yeonho, Hanwon, and me, I’m the best.”
“What?!?!!?! Who’s the best!?!?!?”
“What are you saying when you don’t even have muscles.”
“Hey!!! Lee Doha!!! You tell us clearly!!! Who’s the best!!!”
“…”
“Uncles, stop fighting…”
Yewon let out a sigh.
Can I really leave these uncles behind and go to school?
