Episode 140
* * *
And so, in the living room.
Yewon and the four members huddled together closely.
“…and that’s how it came to be. Your biological father is Hyeon Yuseong.”
Lee Doha showed Yewon a news screen displaying Hyeon Yuseong’s photograph, explaining everything that had transpired in meticulous detail and at considerable length.
And he watched Yewon’s expression with extreme caution.
Had Yewon been too shocked? That he was connected to the Haion Group… and that her biological father had suddenly appeared… it wasn’t exactly an ordinary piece of news.
“I see.”
“…?”
Yet Yewon accepted it all with such remarkable composure.
The four of them wore enormous question marks above their heads.
What was this?
“What?! Baby bird?! Why aren’t you surprised at all?!”
When Weon asked on behalf of everyone, Yewon tilted her head in confusion.
“Why would I be surprised?”
Yewon said this and opened her eyes wide.
“My biological dad showed up? I just thought… well, since I’ve become famous, it makes sense he might appear.”
“…!”
At Yewon’s words, the four of them looked shocked.
Yewon had already prepared herself mentally for this, without our knowing!
And we didn’t even realize it….
“That aside… your biological father….”
“Is incredibly wealthy? Well, that’s not my money anyway.”
Yewon answered with indifference.
I can earn my own money, after all.
I had no intention of spending a single penny from that family’s wealth, except when protecting Lee Doha.
‘I could consider that amount as back child support and accept it!’
Yewon thought coldly.
Even if I didn’t deserve it, Lee Doha certainly deserved that family’s money!
“….”
“….”
“….”
“….”
The four members locked eyes simultaneously.
‘Lee Doha, is this really okay?!!? Our baby bird is more mature than we are, is this really okay?!?!?!? This doesn’t seem legal!?’
‘Are we raising her wrong? Is it right that she never throws tantrums at us, never acts out, never complains? Shouldn’t we be raising her like a proper child? What are we doing wrong?’
‘….’
‘Yewon doesn’t even cry… and she’s so admirable for it… but it’s so heartbreaking….’
These were the thoughts of Weon, Eon, Yeonho, and Lee Doha in turn.
“But, Uncle.”
“Hmm?”
“I met this man yesterday too.”
Yewon pointed at Yusong on the phone screen in Lee Doha’s hand.
“!!!!”
At Yewon’s words, all four people gasped simultaneously.
“Wait, where!?!?!”
“That bas… no, is this guy a stalker? This cra… why is this person approaching my child without a word?”
“I have a shovel.”
“….”
Yewon looked at Weon, Eon, and Yeonho with somewhat helpless eyes.
What on earth was I supposed to do with these uncles?
And she quickly explained to Lee Doha, who was too shocked to speak.
“This man is our distant cousin. He moved into the apartment downstairs.”
“Huh?”
“So to celebrate becoming neighbors, we had dinner together. With Auntie… I mean, Grandmother.”
“!”
Yewon explained yesterday evening’s dinner as calmly as possible.
If even Yewon got excited, these people looked like they might faint.
“…So that’s how it was. It seems those two were really curious about you, Yewon.”
“Yeah. It looked that way.”
At Lee Doha’s bewildered voice, Yewon nodded matter-of-factly.
“Yewon… what did you think of those two?”
Lee Doha asked in a truly cautious voice.
Yewon paused to consider her answer.
…How could I answer so these uncles wouldn’t misunderstand?
They seemed like strange people? Like stalkers? They seemed to have money, but they were really suspicious people?
…Yewon recalled her honest impressions and erased them all.
If I say that, all hell will break loose!
“Well, they didn’t seem like bad people.”
“!”
“They seemed a little unusual though….”
Yewon spoke as tactfully as possible.
I really couldn’t call them just unusual!
“I, I see.”
Lee Doha also simply nodded, unsure how to react.
“So anyway.”
Yewon calmly took Lee Doha’s hand.
Don’t faint, Uncle!
“Let’s all eat together!”
“!”
“What??? All together??”
Weon asked in a flustered voice.
“Yeah. All together. Our family and that family.”
I drew a clear line between my family and “that family.”
My family is on this side, after all.
There was only one reason I had to eat with that family.
[…Those uncles can be scarier than anyone when they’re enemies, but they can be quite dependable when they’re on your side.
Why don’t you try getting closer to your biological father, Hyeon Yuseong, while you’re at it…]
The Quest window must have had a reason for giving me this hint.
Those people were definitely some kind of “key.” One that could protect Lee Doha.
So I should get closer to them over a meal together.
“!!!!”
At my words, the four members’ eyes widened.
“We… the word family means….”
Eon trailed off with a slightly bewildered expression.
“Yeah. The uncles and me. We’re family, aren’t we?”
“…!”
As the four of them were overwhelmed by emotion at my words and couldn’t speak,
“Right?”
I drove the point home once more.
“Yes!!!!!!!!! Absolutely yes!!!!!! Anyone who says no, come at me!!!!!!”
Weon immediately stood up and beat his chest almost like a gorilla,
“That’s right. Very right. Yeah. You learned so well. I raised you so well. How did someone this wonderful come from Lee Doha.”
Eon patted my head repeatedly.
“…?”
And Yeonho tilted his head with an expression that seemed to ask, ‘…Did Lee Doha give birth to Yewon?’
Finally.
“…Yeah, Yewon. Let’s all eat together.”
Lee Doha firmly grasped my hand resting on his and nodded, adding,
“Our family and that family.”
“Yeah!”
At Lee Doha’s response, I smiled brightly.
‘Successfully set up a meal with that family without knocking out the uncles!’ Success!

One floor below Yewon’s House.
Mrs. Ju’s House.
“…So, our granddaughter… wants to eat… with all of us… together…?”
Mrs. Ju asked with an expression more fearful than ever.
“Yes. That’s the message we received.”
And Yusong answered matter-of-factly, showing the phone screen.
Lee Doha and Yusong had already exchanged contact information through Seonwoo Yeong.
The screen displayed a long message from Lee Doha.
That Yewon had been curious about her biological father, and as a result, he had no choice but to reveal his identity, and that he wanted them all to have a meal together.
“….”
And Mrs. Ju, very rarely, lost her words.
There was no helping it….
“…That, all of us…does that mean….”
“It includes the eldest and the youngest.”
“….”
This part was extremely concerning!
“…Can’t we just go, just the two of us?”
“Yewon clearly stated ‘all of my biological father’s family.’ It’s the child’s first request—I cannot allow even the slightest deviation.”
“….”
Mrs. Ju pressed her lips firmly shut.
It wasn’t wrong! It really wasn’t wrong…!
“…The child will run away…?”
“Then that’s my fault—the sin of having an incompetent older brother and an incompetent younger brother.”
“….”
And Mrs. Ju, who had given birth to those two incompetent sons and one exasperating son, pressed her forehead as if dizzy.
“Never mind that those two are incompetent. Will they even come willingly? They’re obsessed with work—they won’t even look at anything unrelated to business.”
“I’ll beat them into coming if necessary. There’s no need for them to be conscious, so that should be fine.”
“…That’s fine!?!?!? That!?!?!”
Mrs. Ju felt as though she would die of frustration.
She would have to cancel her earlier thought. She was simply a sinner who had given birth to three incompetent sons!
“Call, call both of them right now. Call them and explain this situation… and we need to do a meal rehearsal too! I must assign all of their lines in advance so Yewon doesn’t run away!”
“That makes sense.”
Yusong, unusually, agreed with his mother’s words.
Letting those two speak with their mouths wide open was definitely dangerous.
“Let’s call them in today and begin intensive training.”
“Good, let’s educate them properly.”
The two found agreement for the first time in a long while.
However, the two immediately fell into the same worry.
How on earth could they get those crazy bastards to come here willingly!
* * *
The top floor of Haion Pharmaceutical Headquarters.
In the middle of the Executive Office, where thick blackout curtains were drawn despite the floor-to-ceiling windows, and only soft mood lighting was on, creating a dim atmosphere.
A man with suspiciously handsome features but subtly lacking vitality and a haggard complexion stared intently at a screen filled with research data, then shifted his gaze to a message window that appeared at the bottom of the monitor.
In that message window.
[Brother, you always insisted that the Hyun Family bloodline carried an insurmountable genetic defect.]
[I had found the counterevidence.]
That was what it said.
The man closed the message window and rose without the slightest change in expression, slipping out of the Executive Office.
Then.
The secretaries, spotting their CEO moving for what felt like an eternity, gasped in astonishment.
“C-CEO?!!?!”
The CEO who never left his office without the secretaries’ persistent pleas was voluntarily stepping out!
This was either a catastrophe or a miracle!
“I have an external business trip.”
And to the secretaries’ flustered outcry, the CEO responded without the slightest hint of emotion.
“Pardon?!?!!?”
“Did some unknown plague break out overseas?!?!”
“Search it now!!! Search it right now!!!!”
The secretaries descended into panic, scurrying about in confusion.
However.
“No.”
The man denied it calmly.
“I have heard news that a miracle has occurred, and I wish to observe it.”
“?!!?!?!?”
A miracle?!!?!
The secretaries simultaneously turned pale.
What on earth could this man—who seemed not to believe even the first stroke of the character for “miracle”—possibly mean by a miracle!
