Episode 127
* * *
“!”
So this was how the final evaluation was conducted.
Lee Doha’s eyes widened slightly.
It was far more… lenient than he’d expected.
“Hey, the world’s gotten a bit kinder than when we were doing this, hasn’t it?”
Eon seemed to share the sentiment, whispering to Lee Doha.
“Back in our time, it was a real survival show.”
“…But the kids appearing there are Yewon’s age…. It’s incredibly tough.”
“What are you talking about? I was young back then too.”
….
Rather than try to convince Eon, Lee Doha looked up at Yewon, who was focused on the screen from her spot on the sofa.
Yewon hadn’t said a single word.
Throughout watching 【This Life, I’m an Actor】, Lee Doha could feel it with absolute certainty.
That Yewon was truly far more mature than her peers.
Sometimes it made his heart sink with concern.
Of course, he hadn’t been unaware that she was mature for her age. But until now, without peers to compare her to, he’d only felt it vaguely. Now it was undeniably clear.
Yewon was different from her peers.
Lee Doha gently held the child’s small, soft foot in his hand.
You have such a small, tender foot without a single callus.
So why do you feel so grown-up?
What made you grow so quickly?
Was it because we were too unreliable? Because we were such young guardians?
Is that why you had to grow so fast?
As his thoughts reached that point, Lee Doha’s heart grew heavy.
Then.
Poke.
“!”
Yewon, who had been resting her foot in Lee Doha’s hand, pointed her toes and poked his palm.
Startled, Lee Doha looked up.
Yewon was holding a small plastic yogurt spoon in her mouth, looking down at him.
“Uncle digging tunnels again.”
“!!!!!!”
How did she know?!
“Lee Doha digging tunnels again? Aren’t you tired of it?! What kind of person watches a variety show and then goes off to dig tunnels alone?!”
As Lee Doha looked at Yewon with a guilty expression, Weon spoke in an exasperated voice.
“You’re thinking ‘How did she know?’, aren’t you, Uncle?”
“Yeah….”
“I can tell everything just by looking at Uncle’s eyes.”
Yewon giggled.
Now, just by looking at Lee Doha’s face, I could tell exactly what he was thinking.
So this is what family means?
“You’re feeling sorry again, aren’t you, Uncle?”
“!!!!”
“Looking at Lee Doha’s expression, I nailed it. Yewon, you should lay out a mat for him.”
Eon spoke with an expression of disbelief.
What were these guys trying to do? Stop watching TV?
“Don’t do that, Uncle. I’m the happiest in the world when I’m with you. Stop always feeling sorry by yourself and being sad by yourself.”
“Yeah….”
Lee Doha’s shoulders drooped as his expression mixed equal parts of being moved and dejected.
Yewon puffed out her cheeks as much as she could.
“And just to be safe, I’m saying this. Don’t even think about sending me to another home!!”
“!!!!”
No second Fake Uncle!
Yewon was serious.
“I’m never leaving Uncle’s side now. Uncle has to take responsibility for me for life.”
“Hey, someone record this. Quickly. When she grows up and says she’s living with some pretty boy, let’s play this for her.”
At Eon’s whisper, Yeonho and Weon immediately turned on the recording app on their phones.
We absolutely can’t miss this!
“Promise me quickly, Uncle. You’re not sending me to any other adults!!”
“Got it. Yewon, you say it too right here. That you’re not leaving us.”
Weon stared in shock at Eon, who was smiling almost like a demon.
W-wait, is this okay?! Can we really tie our baby Yewon to these pathetic uncles?!
“Yeah. I’m not leaving Uncle!”
“Sorry, but could you say it in plural? Not just that you’re not leaving Lee Doha, but that you’re not leaving all of us—could you say it very clearly?”
“Yeah. I’m not leaving my uncles! And my uncles won’t leave Uncle Doha either!”
“Huh?”
Weon asked back in a dazed voice.
H-how did she slip in something so terrifying like that?
“Even if Uncle Doha does something stupid, my uncles absolutely can’t leave! Promise quickly!”
“….”
At Yewon’s words, the expressions of the three men except Lee Doha crumpled.
They could promise a hundred times over that they wouldn’t leave Yewon.
But having to put up with Lee Doha’s stupidity too was a bit….
“….”
“Promise quickly! Come on! Say it here too, uncles!”
“….”
At Yewon’s coercion, the three men looked at Lee Doha with genuinely reluctant eyes.
Lee Doha’s stupidity was really beyond imagination in how infuriating it was….
“Then Yewon, you promise too. If Lee Doha does something stupid, you’ll punish him for me, okay?”
“Yes! I’ll punish him!”
“Really?!!?!!? Really?!!? Yewon, you’re promising me this?!?!?”
“Yes!”
Weon, thrilled and even shaking hands with Yewon, was met with Lee Doha’s most disapproving gaze in the world.
These people really….
“Then I promise too!! I’ll tolerate that evasive gazelle Lee Doha! When he tries to run away, our greatest hunter rabbit Yewon will catch him and bring him back!!!”
“…Hey, it’s not that serious.”
Whether Lee Doha grumbled in protest or not, the other members kicked him away.
“I promise too. Lee Doha, well, just give him a hit.”
“…I’m in too.”
Having secured promises from all the uncles this way, Yewon
finally stretched both arms out toward Lee Doha.
It was a gesture asking to be held.
“!”
Lee Doha naturally embraced Yewon right away.
“Uncle promises too. That Uncle and I will always live together. That I won’t leave anywhere and won’t send you anywhere.”
“…Yes.”
Lee Doha pressed his forehead against Yewon’s warm crown and nodded.
“I won’t send you anywhere. And I won’t leave for anywhere.”
Even as Lee Doha said this, he thought to himself.
The truth is, I already know.
Even if you didn’t say it.
I’ve become someone who can never send you anywhere.
You’ve become my entire world.
“Then stop digging that tunnel and hurry up and watch me act.”
“….”
“I want to show you how well I can act, so why do you keep digging? Stop it.”
With a soft crackle, the touching moment crumbled, and Lee Doha nodded dejectedly.
My Yewon is so mature….

Production Team: What did you think when you saw the role chart?
[Jeongyun: It was fascinating! Except for the two main leads, the ages and genders weren’t determined!]
[Harin: I liked how the roles would change depending on who took them on.]
[Yewon: The writer must be having such a hard time with revisions…?]
Production Team: What roles did you want to take on?
[Baek Yun: I wanted either the role of ‘Yoon Jiwon’, one of the male leads, or… ‘Sung Yeonwoo’! Because Yoon Jiwon is the protagonist in both the past life and the present life!]
[Hyuk: I wanted to play Sung Yeonwoo.]
Production Team: Hyuk, weren’t you interested in the role of ‘Yoon Jiwon’?
[Hyuk: …I just thought the Sung Yeonwoo role looked better. Yoon Jiwon is cold to Do Yuna at first, after all.]
[Hyuk: But Sung Yeonwoo liked Do Yuna from the very beginning.]
Production Team: Oh, I see. So you don’t like playing the role of someone with regrets~?
[Hyuk: ….]
[Hyuk: Yes….]
Caption: Perhaps he already has something he regrets
Caption: Hmm
[Jeongyun: I wanted to play the female lead role, Yuna’s role!!]
[Jeongyun: Yuna is so cool! Pow pow! Defeating all the villains!]
Caption: A choice just like Jeongyun
Caption: If it were Jeongyun, she really could defeat everyone with pow pow (defeat)
[Harin: I wanted to try playing Rose, Yuna’s best friend role. The role that supports Yuna by being smart.]
Production Team: You didn’t want to play the main character?
[Harin: The main character is cool, but… I thought the Rose role suited me better than Yuna’s role.]
Production Team: What role did Yewon want to play? Surely the main character Yuna?
[Yewon: Nope!]
Caption: !!!
Caption: An unexpected choice…?
[Yewon: The role I wanted to play was-]
Caption: What will Yewon’s choice be?
Caption: Revealed in 1 minute!

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”
As the commercial began, Weon tore at his hair and cried out in anguish.
“How can they cut it off right here?!!!!!”
“….”
And Yewon deliberately avoided his gaze as she watched him.
Uncle had clearly told her not to spoil it!
