Episode 133
* * *
“…You found Yewon’s biological father?”
Once again, inside the cafe.
Lee Doha’s brow furrowed as he posed the question back to Seonwoo Yeong.
Beside him, Ha Manager chewed on a salt bread instead of popcorn, listening intently to their conversation.
The three of them had long since become something like a Parent Association, sharing circumstances like these for quite some time now.
“What kind of person is he? Could he be a criminal or someone dangerous-”
“He’s not. Don’t worry, Lee Doha.”
Seonwoo Yeong quickly denied it, then hesitated for a moment.
…Though he could potentially be dangerous…?
“Then what kind of person is he? Is he currently in the country? Does he know about Yewon’s existence?”
“Let me explain what kind of person he is first. You’ve probably heard of it too, Lee Doha. The Haion Group.”
“!”
Both Lee Doha and Ha Manager beside him dropped their jaws.
Who in South Korea didn’t know about the Haion Group!
“The Haion Group…? The one with the department store…?”
“That’s right. Yewon’s biological father is the second son of that owner’s family. However, he’s not currently involved in managing Haion, and he’s been independent, running a pharmaceutical company in the United States.”
“…Don’t tell me you’re talking about S-HEAL?”
Ha Manager, who had been sitting beside him, let the salt bread in his hand drop with a soft thud.
“That’s correct. You seem to know well?”
“…Not long ago, our VIP met with the representative there… well, met them…. Of course, I didn’t accompany them….”
“….”
The three of them fell into a moment of silence.
There was only one person Ha Manager referred to as VIP.
The President.
Flustered, Lee Doha found himself at a loss for words.
Yewon’s biological father was important enough to meet with the President?
Anxiety began to grow in Lee Doha’s heart, bit by bit.
“What if that person tries to…take Yewon away…”
“No. It doesn’t seem like he’ll take Yewon away immediately. He knows about Yewon’s existence, but….”
Seonwoo Yeong hesitated before adding more.
“Actually, he was here in this cafe a moment ago. Did you happen to see him? He’s quite tall-”
“Are you referring to that suspiciously handsome man with an oddly impressive physique, standing about 190 centimeters tall, weighing approximately 85 kilograms, appearing to be in his early to mid-thirties?”
“….”
At Ha Manager’s remarkably detailed description, both their gazes turned toward him.
“C-cough. It’s an occupational habit, an occupational habit! I immediately memorize the characteristics of people around me!”
Of course, it was true that he’d noticed because the man was genuinely suspiciously handsome, but he hadn’t only been watching that one person!
Ha Manager quickly denied it.
“Well, if you say so…. Anyway. That’s the person. It seemed like he came just to confirm that Yewon is doing well.”
“…If you knew about Yewon’s existence, why haven’t you been looking for her all this time….”
“He said he only met Seoha in the United States, so he only searched there. He only started searching Korea now, which is how he found her.”
Seonwoo Yeong deliberately didn’t mention that she had dug into Hyeon Yuseong’s background, and that he had traced her in return and caught her in the act.
Everyone deserved the right to hide something a little embarrassing, didn’t they?
“…I see… that’s how it was….”
Lee Doha wiped his ashen face with his hand.
“What does he want, then? If he doesn’t want to take Yewon away immediately, then what on earth….”
“He seems to want to be careful. He didn’t seem to want to surprise Yewon. He said he just wants to be helpful to her for now.”
Seonwoo Yeong desperately racked her brain trying to figure out how to convey Hyeon Yuseong’s ferocious declaration in a way that wouldn’t frighten Lee Doha.
“He said that if there’s anything Yewon needs, he’ll help with anything—whether it’s something she requires, or perhaps… someone she wants removed, or anything she likes, just tell him.”
“?”
Just now, something truly terrifying seemed to have slipped out?
Ha Manager felt a sense of discord at Seonwoo Yeong’s words and lifted her head.
Lee Doha seemed too distracted to notice, but she could have sworn she just heard “someone she wants removed”?
In that moment, the eyes of the two women met.
‘Please! Please don’t scare Lee Doha any more! I’m being very careful right now!’
‘But I’m scared too! If it’s Haion, they’re deeply connected with politicians!!! The seniors said there are really scary people there!!’
‘That’s why we need to take this step by step! Do you want to see Lee Doha get frightened and disappear with Yewon?!’
‘That absolutely cannot happen!’
…And so a silent agreement passed between the two women.
“…Anyway, from what I can see, he doesn’t seem like a bad person. He doesn’t seem to have any intention of separating you and Yewon either. Just don’t worry too much for now. We’ll do our best to help you.”
“…Yes. Thank you.”
Lee Doha nodded, then spoke with a somewhat complicated expression.
“Then I should tell Yewon too. She must have been curious about her biological father—”
“That, that’s… Lee Doha.”
“Yes?”
“There’s something Yewon’s biological father asked regarding that matter….”
Seonwoo Yeong laughed with a haha, feeling utterly at a loss.
I should have just told that guy to come say it himself!

“What’s wrong, Yewon?”
At Harin’s question, Yewon shook her head firmly.
“Nothing. It’s just… Uncle seems anxious about something!”
At Yewon’s words, the children’s gazes turned toward the adults’ table.
The three adults certainly did seem a bit off.
Ha Manager was pretending nothing was wrong while secretly sending urgent messages behind her back.
Seonwoo Yeong, despite her perfect smile, was reassuring Lee Doha with slightly trembling hands.
Lee Doha, with a more troubled expression than ever, was quietly listening to what Seonwoo Yeong was saying.
“You’re right. My mom really seems strange too?”
“What could it be?”
The children tilted their heads, noticing their guardians behaving unusually.
Then.
“Don’t worry about it. Adults won’t tell you anything anyway.”
“!”
At Hyuk’s blunt remark, the children’s attention shifted toward him.
Yewon in particular watched him carefully, gauging his mood.
Hyuk seemed to carry wounds inflicted by adults, much like Yewon had in the past, which made me all the more concerned.
‘Does he not have a good relationship with his parents either?’
From what I’d overheard earlier, it seemed his parents frequently traveled abroad for business and couldn’t give him much attention.
‘I should ask him carefully if the opportunity arises.’
If there’s something I can do to help, I should.
‘And above all….’
[▶Sub Quest – 【Another Victim】
…
Mun Hyeok, another victim of Future Entertainment.
If things continue as they are, Future Entertainment will rob him of the joy that acting brings, and he may abandon his dream of becoming an actor before he even grows up.
Save him from Future Entertainment!
…]
This Quest window has been glimmering since earlier—it’s incredibly distracting!
Finally, Yewon, who had been hesitating, asked Hyuk.
“By the way, how’s your company? Do the adults treat you well?”
“…Why are you asking?”
The moment the word ‘company’ came up, Hyuk’s eyes grew sharp and sensitive.
Just as I thought.
There’s definitely something.
“Just wondering! It’d be fun if we all worked at the same company. If your company is good, I want to go there too!”
“!!!!”
At Yewon’s words, Harin and the Yusong siblings were taken aback.
“O-o-our company is great too!! Come to our company, Yewon!!”
“That’s right! We’ll ask them to let us in! Our company is even better than Hyuk’s!!”
“Our company is run by my grandfather’s friend, so it’s a good place. Come here instead.”
Despite the three friends’ strong appeals, Yewon merely averted her gaze.
No, it’s not that I actually want to change companies….
“Do what they say. Our company… is really not good.”
“!”
The children, who had been whining to Yewon just moments before, fell silent at Hyuk’s words.
As expected.
I regarded Hyuk calmly.
“Why? Are all the adults there bad people?”
“…Yeah.”
Hyuk turned his head slightly, reluctant to elaborate.
“Wait, what did the adults do wrong? Are they bullying you or something? If that’s the case, we can tell our parents…!”
“That’s right! Or we could tell Harin’s dad! Our dad says Harin’s dad is super strong!”
“…?”
My dad?
Harin paused for a moment.
My dad only studies—he’d probably be weak, wouldn’t he?
“…Really…?”
At Baek Yun and Jeongyun’s words, Hyuk flinched slightly, seeming tempted.
“…Never mind.”
But he shook his head immediately.
“I’m fine, so don’t worry about it.”
How could they not worry when he said it like that?!
The four children, excluding Hyuk, exchanged exasperated glances.
Their eyes met simultaneously.
‘I think we need to step in here!’
Jeongyun winked playfully,
‘Yeah, yeah! Let’s activate our Heart Pizza Squad!’
Baek Yun nodded with a determined expression,
‘…Wait. Us? I mean, it’s not that I don’t want to join….’
Harin looked bewildered by the situation,
‘No, hold on. You guys stay out of this! This isn’t something kids can solve…!’
Yewon felt a headache coming on.
This wasn’t right at all!
