Episode 130
* * *
A peaceful morning at Yewon’s House.
“Today’s the day, Yewon? When you’re meeting up with all your friends?”
“Yeah!”
At Lee Doha’s question, Yewon nodded her head enthusiastically.
Lee Doha then ran his hand through his tousled hair and began preparing Yewon’s breakfast.
Yewon pattered along behind him, her expression growing considerably worried.
“Uncle Weon isn’t making breakfast… you are?”
“….”
Lee Doha felt a pang of hurt.
“I may not be as good as Hanwon, but… I can at least make fried rice….”
“Be careful with the knife, Uncle. You have that Japan concert coming up soon—we can’t have you getting hurt.”
“….”
Lee Doha was beginning to suspect he might actually be seven years old while Yewon was twenty-five.
“Will you be okay this weekend without your uncles?”
It was the first time. The entire GLEET was leaving the house without Yewon.
Until now, at least one of them had always stayed behind to put her to bed.
But overseas concerts made that impossible.
“Yeah. Grandfather’s here anyway.”
But Yewon truly didn’t mind at all.
If anything, she was worried that her uncles weren’t going anywhere beyond Japan.
“The CEO said you guys should go to South America and Europe too. When are you going there? You should go soon. You can’t keep the fans waiting.”
“….”
Lee Doha made a silent vow to silence Yeongeo one day, and continued slicing kimchi.
“For now, this was the right time for domestic concerts. The overseas fans will understand.”
While Yewon was filming “This Life Is Mine,” GLEET successfully completed their domestic concerts.
They had two shows in Seoul and two in Busan, and every single date was sold out.
Because of that, domestic fans were—
Title: Time Entertainment suddenly caring for domestic fans
Doesn’t it seem like it’s all because of Yewon?
They have to raise Yewon so they can only stay domestically lolololol
└So true, Yewon, auntie is grateful, I love you,,
└Really makes sense, the fact that they’re even covering Busan couldn’t have come from Time’s head, they would’ve gone overseas long ago
└If it were Glow, they’d owe Yewon three bows
└└?? No wait, Yewon should be bowing to us three times so we can give her the New Year’s money. Are you trying to steal her booger-covered New Year’s money?
This was how much Yewon was being cherished.
“Did your uncles finish their contract renewals well?”
Moreover, the contract renewal between GLEET and Time Entertainment was on a yearly basis, and it was soon time to sign new papers again.
Knowing that in the original timeline, GLEET had disbanded around this time and everyone except Lee Doha had retired, Yewon felt the weight of her knowledge.
There was no way to avoid worrying.
“Well, we did wrap things up nicely….”
Lee Doha answered somewhat bewilderedly. How did she know about our contract renegotiation—that we’d finished negotiations yesterday and only needed signatures?
Could it be Yeongeo?
“…Yewon. Is it possible that other adults are asking you to look after things like this for them…?”
Lee Doha couldn’t help but feel a bit concerned.
Why did my child worry about things more adult than the adults themselves…. When I barely have time to worry about my own problems….
“I don’t have any other adults.”
“!”
“The only adults next to me are my uncles, Grandfather, and Older Sister Juyeong.”
At Yewon’s crisp words, Lee Doha immediately understood.
Right, that’s true. My child must just be a genius and the most capable kid in the world!
“But Yewon. When you’re meeting your friends to play today, who asked you to come along?”
“Oh!”
Yewon pulled her phone from her pocket.
It was the phone that had been inside the gift box Harin gave her at the last kids’ party.
‘If I’d known the gift inside the box was this, I would have refused it immediately!’
Thanks to Harin’s absolute insistence that she not open it until she got home, Yewon couldn’t refuse the gift.
Having suddenly acquired a phone, Yewon was able to contact her friends directly with Lee Doha’s permission.
She even had a group chat room now.
[12:08 PM]
[Heart Pizza Room]
Mun Hyeok
Today at 12, right?
👽💀Jeongyun💗
Yep
Baek Yuni
( ⸝⸝•ᴗ•⸝⸝ )੭⁾⁾
Ryuharin
Yewon’s coming today, right?
Yep!
My uncles are taking me
(dancing Lee Doha emoticon)
“Here! A group chat with the kids!”
“…Who bought the Uncle emoticon…?”
“Uncle Weon did! He said Uncle would like it if I used this one?!”
“….”
Lee Doha vowed to kick Weon’s legs really hard.
What on earth was he doing to my child!
“…I’ll buy emoticons of your other uncles too. And you have to use all of them.”
“Mm!”
At my response, Lee Doha finally allowed himself to laugh freely.
* * *
A large cafe where five children had promised to gather.
Each child had brought one guardian with them.
Yewon came with Lee Doha, Harin with attorney Seonwoo Yeong, and the Yu siblings with Ha Manager.
And Hyuk—
“Hello. I’m a manager who occasionally looks after Hyuk when his parents are busy.”
“!”
He was the only one who had come with a manager.
“Ah, Mr. Lee Doha might be familiar with our company. I’m affiliated with Mirae Entertainment.”
Lee Doha accepted the business card the manager offered, doing his best to keep his expression neutral.
…So this kid was with Mirae Entertainment.
How did he end up with a company like that….
“Oh my? Is there a company that requires managers to handle child actors’ personal matters?”
At that moment, Seonwoo Yeong interjected from beside him with a bright voice.
“Mirae Entertainment is quite good, isn’t it~? If you ever need any advice, feel free to contact me. Hehe.”
“!!!!!”
Hyuk’s ‘manager’ flinched in surprise as he received the business card Seonwoo Yeong offered.
‘A-a lawyer!? And from Law Firm Shinwha at that!?’
“Haha. I, I have a personal relationship with Hyuk’s parents, so I’m just helping out. There’s absolutely no problem!! Haha. Oh, I’ll just drop him off here today and head back to my work. I’ll come back to pick him up and take him home.”
“Is that so~? Hyuk’s parents must be very busy~?”
“Ah, both of them frequently have overseas business trips…. So they chose our company because of our personal connection. Hahaha.”
“I see~ They sound like wonderful people! Hyuk’s parents must feel reassured.”
Attorney Seonwoo Yeong smiled brightly and very naturally took the manager’s business card from Lee Doha’s hand.
Lee Doha, caught off guard by having the card taken from him, looked at Seonwoo Yeong with a bewildered expression.
She gave him a wink with a look that said ‘leave this to the professional,’ then passed him by and approached Yewon.
“Yewon! Our Harin’s best friend! How have you been?”
“Good! I was just deciding what to eat with Harin.”
“Goodness. Don’t overthink it—order everything. I’ll pay for it all.”
“That seems inefficient and wasteful, Mother.”
“Mm~ The world is inherently irrational, dear. You just haven’t tasted enough of it yet. Let me at least show you the taste of cake.”
Yewon was left dizzy by their dizzying conversation.
“Here, Yewon. Prosecutor Ryu asked me to give this to you. This is yours, right?”
“!”
Yewon’s eyes widened as she spotted the kids’ phone in Seonwoo Yeong’s hand.
“Yes, it’s mine!”
“Prosecutor Ryu said to get it to you as quickly as possible. Normally, the prosecutor should give it to you directly, but there simply wasn’t time…. It’s a secret that I delivered it, okay?”
“Yes!”
I quickly understood what Seonwoo Yeong meant and swiftly tucked the kids’ phone into my pocket.
“Our Yewon is so clever. I really like that about her.”
Seonwoo Yeong gently stroked Yewon’s head.
Yes, a child like this fits perfectly into our family!
Seonwoo Yeong resolved once more to hold onto Yewon no matter what.
Just then.
“Yewon!! How have you been?! You didn’t forget about me, did you?!”
Ha Manager swiftly slid his card across the counter and cut in.
Yewon nodded with wide eyes.
“Yes! I promised Jeongyun and Harin yesterday that we’d practice acting together!”
“That’s right!!! Jeongyun was saying she’s really worried since this is her first lead role, but she got courage knowing you’d help her. How can I ever thank you enough?”
“No, it’s not like that. I think it’ll be more fun if I memorize lines with Jeongyun too!”
How could she be so admirable!
Ha Manager’s heart swelled as he firmly grasped Yewon’s hand.
These lacking siblings really seemed to need a friend who was this capable and dependable.
Then.
“Oh my. I was planning to pay~?”
Seonwoo Yeong wedged herself between the two.
“Come now, what’s that about~ The quick one wins. I may not know about credit limits, but I’m confident my reaction speed is unmatched?”
“….”
Oh no!
Seonwoo Yeong was rendered speechless—a rare occurrence.
Her reaction speed couldn’t possibly beat a presidential bodyguard’s!
Then Ha Manager broke into a beaming smile.
See, when you strip away the law and money and compete on physicality, we win!!
While the two adults waged their fierce battle,
“Yewon, come here. Ignore our mom! Mom’s an idiot.”
“Ignore our mother as well. From now on. Forever. Just think of your contract with me.”
Yewon was pulled away by Jeongyun and Harin’s hands.
“U-um…!”
What on earth was happening….
Yewon was bewildered, but she held her friends’ hands tightly and headed toward the table where the boys were waiting.
From a distance, Lee Doha waved toward Yewon.
It was his way of saying Uncle was here, so she could relax and play with her friends.
‘Thank goodness!’
It was a good call to have asked Uncle about a hundred times before coming: “Children need their privacy too, so could you stay a bit away….”!
But then.
Yewon’s eyes caught sight of something suspicious.
“…?”
A man sitting at the table directly behind Lee Doha was staring at Yewon intently.
What was that…?
Yewon tilted her head in confusion.
[Today’s Tip! Don’t forget about the kids’ phone when there’s a stranger around!]
[Today’s Tip! The kids’ phone might just connect Yewon to someone she really needs to talk to.]
But Yewon was so focused on the man that she failed to notice the message window shimmering and flickering behind her.
