Episode 14

However, Yewon grabbed Lee Doha’s sleeve once more, as if she wouldn’t let him escape from those turbulent waters.

He had no choice. He was weak when it came to children. Lee Doha suppressed a sigh and looked at Yewon again.

“…Why do you want to become an actress?”

“Because I like acting. I like it when people’s eyes sparkle.”

‘You know, Doha. I like photographing people. I like capturing that moment when people’s eyes sparkle.’

“…”

“Just like how Uncle likes singing, I like acting too.”

Lee Doha finally acknowledged it.

Though he had tried to deny the concept of blood relations for over a decade.

Right now, at this very moment, the bond that blood relations brought was completely and tightly binding Lee Doha.

“…”

But strangely, that bond he had so desperately wanted to escape from.

He didn’t really want to escape from it now.

Rather—

“…I see. I think you’ll do well, Yewon.”

“Because Yewon takes after Uncle?”

He felt like he wanted to hold this tiny hand that was gripping his sleeve.

That was probably because it reminded him of the time when he desperately wished someone would hold his hand, Lee Doha thought.

Because he knew what that feeling was like.

“Yeah. Because you take after me.”

…Or maybe it was because he needed this small hand.

* * *

The next morning.

“…”

Lee Doha discovered Weon in the living room, who had clearly promised last night that he would go home on his own.

From wherever he had found it, Weon had even spread out bedding properly and was sleeping sprawled out, snoring away.

Why won’t this guy leave Our House and go back to his own home?

Lee Doha looked down at Weon with puzzled eyes.

After Taeyoung left the group, Weon had moved out, saying he felt suffocated to death because of Lee Doha.

This was the first time since then that he had slept at This house.

‘How strange.’

But the truth was.

‘Uncle Weon. Can’t you sleep here tonight?’

‘Huh? Me? Why?’

‘Well… The house is so~ big! It’s scary being alone with Uncle Lee Doha… Like, ghosts might appear… But Uncle Weon is really cool and reliable. I think you’d be good at catching ghosts too…’

‘Me?! I am!? Hmm. Well. I am pretty cool. Yeah yeah. That’s right!! This Uncle Weon will protect our Yewon!! Just trust Uncle!!’

‘Then. Tomorrow too, the day after tomorrow too. The day after the day after tomorrow too, you’ll sleep here, right?’

‘Huh? Huh?’

‘You promised, right? Right?’

‘Uh… Huh? But then Lee Doha might kill me…?’

‘Uncle Weon can beat Uncle Lee Doha. Don’t tell me… you can’t…?’

‘What are you talking about!!! I’m totally stronger!!!!!’

‘…’

Completely unaware that just last night, Weon had ended up sleeping here thanks to Yewon’s scheme—

Just as Lee Doha was about to wake Weon up.

Ding dong.

“!”

The doorbell rang.

There was no one who would visit at this hour.

Lee Doha frowned and checked the wall pad.

Then a very familiar face came into view.

‘…Why did this guy come here.’

Just as he was wondering whether he should open the door or not.

“Who is it?!”

“!!”

Lee Doha nearly jumped at the suddenly heard voice.

“Why are you so surprised, Uncle?”

“Sorry. I’m not used to… having someone here.”

“Ah.”

Yewon nodded as if she understood.

“Who came?”

“…Another member.”

“Another member?!”

At the mention of another member, Yewon’s face brightened.

…Why is she so happy about this?

Just as he was about to feel unnecessarily annoyed.

Lee Doha was startled by his own reaction.

Whether the kid likes other guests or not, why am I caring about it?

“Is it Uncle Eon, or Uncle Yeonho?”

“…You know all our members’ names?”

“Of course. Where in our country would you find people who don’t know the GLEET uncles?”

Though Yewon spoke seriously, her pronunciation was slightly off due to her not fully developed oral structure, making Lee Doha burst into laughter.

Just trying to sound like an adult with her speech.

“Why are you laughing?!!?”

Though she spoke quite well and had much better pronunciation compared to her peers, a child was still a child.

Seeing how she got worked up just from him laughing once.

“No. I just felt like laughing.”

“So who is it?”

“Yeonho hyung.”

“!”

At the name Yeonho, curiosity appeared on Yewon’s face.

That made sense. He was the person who appeared least in media.

While not exactly maintaining an air of mystery, even within GLEET who didn’t appear much in media, Seo Yeonho was someone who particularly avoided exposure.

Not for any special reason—

“Be careful.”

“Huh?”

“This hyung has no social skills.”

It was simply because his social skills were lacking.

“What are social skills?”

“…You’ll understand when you see.”

At the very 7-year-old question, Lee Doha smiled slightly and pressed the 【Door Open】 button.

And not long after.

“You’re not dead.”

“…”

“I heard Lee Doha died, so I came.”

Yewon and Lee Doha came face to face with a man who truly had absolutely no social skills.

* * *

If Lee Doha was like a sparkling, pretty cat.

Weon was like a handsome, sly fox pretending to be feisty.

And.

“Coming in and immediately talking about dying this and that – isn’t that crossing the line, even for a hyung?”

“Blame Hanwon. He’s the one who said it.”

As soon as Yewon saw Yeonho standing before her, one animal immediately came to mind.

‘…A house-sized wolf…’

Not just any wolf. Literally a house-sized wolf.

Yeonho was a full head taller than Weon and Doha, who were already quite tall.

That wasn’t all. As if proving Weon’s words about living at the gym, his mountain-wide shoulders and well-defined muscles were intimidating enough to overwhelm anyone who looked at him.

‘…Somehow, rather than an idol…’

He seemed more suited to be a macho concept actor…

Yewon was flustered by his visual that looked like he’d exclusively play protagonists in noir films.

Even his gaze was on a completely different level from the two animals before.

‘…Eyes that hold only indifference, not kindness…’

Unlike Doha and Weon, who were thoroughly gentle and warm in their gaze toward Yewon even while being prickly with each other.

Yeonho’s eyes looking at Yewon truly contained no emotion or interest whatsoever.

They were no different from eyes looking at a stone.

Seo Yeonho trudged into Doha’s house and kicked the sleeping Weon with his foot.

“Agh!”

After all sorts of curses came from under the blanket.

“What are you doing- huh…? Yeonho hyung?”

Weon discovered Yeonho with puffy eyes and paused for a moment.

“You came quickly? Wow. So hyung is human after all?! Seeing how you came running when I said our Doha died?!”

“Where do you get off joking around with people like this.”

“Agh!! Ah, hyung! Let’s talk it out, okay!? Agh!! Ah!!!”

Even at Weon’s bright voice, Yeonho mercilessly kicked Weon with his foot.

“No!! I know hyung is the type who only shows his face for news this serious outside of work, so I had no choice but to make a strong move!!”

“I also know you’re not the type to listen when talked to, so I have no choice but to resort to violence.”

“Ah!! Seriously hyung!! Look at hyung’s leg muscles!! When hyung kicks, it’s attempted murder!! This should go as aggravated assault, not simple assault!”

“Should I sew your mouth shut, really.”

After kicking Weon around for who knows how long.

Finally calmed down, Yeonho opened Doha’s refrigerator with a bored expression.

“What are you looking for.”

“Protein shake.”

To Doha’s question full of bewilderment, Yeonho answered very indifferently.

…He’s really a strange person!!

Yewon looked at Yeonho in shock.

“Why would we have something like that in our house.”

“Guess you have no intention of managing yourself. I told you to give advance notice if you’re going to disband the group. So I can find a way to make a living.”

“I said we’re not disbanding.”

“We’ll have to disband if Ian doesn’t come back.”

“…”

Yeonho looked at the empty refrigerator, clicked his tongue, then casually sat on the dining table.

…Since he’s insanely tall, that doesn’t look awkward. Just sitting straight on the dining table.

While Yewon was admiring Yeonho’s insane physique.

“What’s that kid.”

“!”

Yeonho got to the point.

Yewon briefly thought it over. The options for responding to the somewhat blunt question “What’s that kid” would be as follows.

1. Hide behind Doha for now. (Because he’s scary.)

2. Step forward confidently and start with self-introduction.

…Which way should I go.

“Hyung, the kid is scared so please soften your expression-“

Just as Weon was about to scold Yeonho, Yewon stepped forward confidently.

She had encountered countless people of that type in society.

“I’m Yewon!”

With people like that, stepping forward confidently rather than avoiding them actually worked better.

“…Yewon?”

Yeonho asked back in a bewildered voice.

“Yes! I’m Uncle Doha’s family.”

Yewon deliberately emphasized the word ‘family.’
