Episode 15

At that, the expressions of the three men present became strange.

…Why are you all making those faces when there’s family watching? This is making me feel weird. Yewon held back her disappointment.

“…Daughter?”

Yeonho pointed at Yewon with his finger and asked Doha.

“No, she’s my niece.”

At those words, Yeonho looked Yewon up and down.

“…You do look exactly alike.”

“Right? That’s why I thought I was going to faint the moment I saw her!”

He plopped down heavily in a dining table chair and looked at Doha.

“Are you going to raise her?”

That’s right, is Uncle going to raise me?

Since it was a question Yewon had been curious about too, she looked up at Doha.

“…I don’t know yet.”

At that answer, Yeonho stared at Doha for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. Despite the explanation leaving out so much, Yeonho didn’t seem to care much.

“So, what about Eon?”

At Yeonho’s follow-up question, silence fell for a moment.

“Has he contacted you?”

“…Not yet.”

“You know you need to bring that bastard back first if you don’t want to disband, right?”

At Yeonho’s words, casually thrown out as if indifferent, Doha’s eyes wavered slightly.

“…Yeah.”

“But hyung, you’re not asking anything about Yewon? You must have a lot of questions.”

Weon asked as if he found it strange.

Yewon read the underlying intention.

It meant, don’t you really have anything you want to ask when a member is suddenly taking care of a child?

“You’ll handle it well on your own.”

“!”

At Yeonho’s words, Yewon’s eyes widened.

“Do whatever you want. It’s your family… matter. It’s family you’ve met after a long time.”

Though his tone was blunt, Yewon could tell that those words were the maximum support Yeonho could offer.

Because Doha and Weon looking at him really seemed surprised.

Especially.

Doha looked truly surprised.

If Eon was the most difficult person to deal with in GLEET, then Yeonho was definitely the most inscrutable.

It wasn’t simply because he was a man of few words.

Yeonho didn’t open his mouth in most cases. To the extent that he seemed like someone who had no opinions at all.

The fact that the GLEET members, each with strong personalities and strong opinions, could manage to get along was all thanks to Yeonho.

When the GLEET members fought like crazy insisting their own opinions were right, eventually Yeonho would pick someone’s opinion as if he was sick of it all-

‘Now it’s 2:1:1:1 by majority vote, so anyone who complains dies.’

…and wrap up the situation like that.

That’s how rarely Yeonho expressed his own opinions.

Except.

Only when someone was harming the team.

Even when Taeyoung left the group, Yeonho-

‘Wouldn’t it be better if that guy died in an “accident” rather than leaving like this?’

He muttered seriously enough to say something like that.

It was to the extent that even the stubborn Hanwon would mutter, ‘I’d rather just die than make Yeonho hyung my enemy…’

So Doha had actually been most worried about Yeonho’s reaction.

To Doha, Weon was ‘someone with a rough mouth but actually a really kind person,’ and Eon was ‘someone who acts cold but is the most tender-hearted guy in the world.’

So he could see some room for persuasion with those two.

But Yeonho?

In most cases, he didn’t rebel against Doha. He didn’t open his mouth at all.

However.

Doha knew well how scary such a person could become once they voiced opposition.

Also, if Yeonho opposed something enough to voice it, it meant it was truly something that would cause great harm to the team.

So Doha had been inwardly prepared to leave the team for everyone’s sake if Yeonho couldn’t accept Yewon.

But then…

He accepts her just like that?

It was so unexpected that both Doha and Weon were flustered.

“Just don’t ask me to help raise her.”

Yeonho’s firm voice shattered everyone’s thoughts completely.

“…”

Hmm.

Yewon revised her assessment of Yeonho a bit.

He still doesn’t seem like an easy person to deal with though.

“…Thanks, hyung.”

“Don’t thank me. I really have no intention of helping raise her. You raise her alone.”

“…”

That… counts as support, right?

The three people except Yeonho looked at him with uncertain faces.

Yewon especially felt a bit overwhelmed.

This family.

This really won’t be easy…

* * *

After the storm-like Yeonho who had swept through left.

“Hey, Lee Doha. Since Yeonho hyung brought it up, let me ask. You’re going to contact Eon, right?”

“…I won’t.”

“No, I get that you two fought. But can’t you make up now? If just you two make up, the four of us can work together well again. Why do you keep dragging your feet and not make up?! I know what Eon’s temper is like too. But this time you were wrong! As the leader, you should be brave and hold hands and kiss and make up!”

…Kiss?

Yewon was flustered by Weon’s choice of words, but Doha didn’t even react as if he was used to it.

“Yewon’s going to make dinner. Are you going to eat too?”

“Are you a hula hoop? Why do you keep going in circles? Stop spinning and give me an answer!”

“I have nothing to say.”

“…”

As if billions of harsh words had rushed up in an instant, Weon’s cheeks puffed up seriously.

Th-this is a danger signal…!!

Yewon quickly ran over to prevent Weon from exploding and grabbed one of his arms-

“?!”

“U-Uncle.”

First promoting his title from mister to uncle, she bumped her head against his shoulder and leaned on it.

“?!!?!!?!?”

…I managed to get this far somehow.

…But what do I do next…?

Having just displayed the maximum aegyo she was capable of, Yewon was breaking out in cold sweat internally.

How did kids in dramas calm down their moms and dads’ anger? What did they do?

Yewon frantically searched for references in her head.

‘Ah.’

There was exactly one thing that came to mind.

“Hooo.”

Specifically, gently blowing on the hurt spot!

Yewon gently blew air on his shoulder (she didn’t have the courage to do it anywhere else) as if blowing on Weon’s heart.

“?!?!?!?!?!”

“Yes, Yewon went ‘hoo’ on Uncle’s heart… so don’t be angry.”

Uncle Weon, you’re the only hope for this broken GLEET…

Yewon was quite flustered seeing Lee Doha, the ultimate king of avoidance types, and Seo Yeonho, the ultimate king of straightforward types (who could probably be a bit less straightforward).

However, the most bewildering thing was that judging from their conversation – the member who hadn’t even appeared yet, ‘Ian’, seemed to be the most frightening person.

She instinctively realized that reuniting GLEET, a combination of such people, would be impossible even if UN peacekeeping forces came.

So she couldn’t afford to lose Hanwon, who was the most communicative person in this group, which is why Yewon was being very desperate right now.

‘…Ah, is it not working?’

In dramas, this kind of thing usually worked well?

Yewon wondered if it wasn’t working because she only did the ‘hoo’ once, so this time she grabbed Weon’s hand and cast ‘hoo’ one more time.

“Hoo, hoo…”

And.

Flash!

“?!”

This time there was an immediate reaction.

Weon suddenly lifted Yewon up with one arm and stood up!

While Yewon was momentarily flustered by this unexpected development.

“Hey, Lee Doha.”

Weon held Yewon tightly and spoke to Doha in a determined voice.

“From today, Yewon is my niece. Not your niece.”

“!?”

At this sudden declaration, both Doha and Yewon looked at Weon with blank faces.

Excuse me? What did you say?

“So I’m going to live here from now on.”

“!!!!”

“Why? Because my niece is here. Yeah. I’ll raise my own niece, who else would? Of course.”

[▶Sub Quest Success!

Reuniting the divided family! ~Every little bit makes GLEET~

Quest success reward: Maternal grandparents revealed]

[Congratulations! You have succeeded in the sub quest!

Rewards are being distributed…]

Finally!

Yewon’s eyes widened.

[Your maternal grandfather: Yeon Taejung

Your maternal grandmother: Lee Juhyang]

“…!”

And her widened eyes shook violently as soon as she confirmed her maternal grandparents’ identities.

‘…These are names I know.’

Both of them… names I know all too well.
