Episode 151
* * *
“…Chairman.”
A man who had finished cleaning up after Manager Mun Hyeok emerged from the darkness with heavy footsteps and took his place behind Yusong.
The name by which the Hyun Family called him was ‘Hyun Director’.
A distant branch member of the Hyun Family, he nominally belonged to Hion Pharmaceuticals, but in reality, he handled everything outside the Group.
Given the Hyun Family’s deep connections to political circles, such a position was unfortunately necessary.
Hyun Director, who bore all the shadows of the Group, commanded respect from everyone both within the family and the organization.
“Everything has been taken care of.”
“…Thank you for your hard work, Director. I’m always grateful.”
“Not at all. It’s all for our little lady. Since you trusted me with this, I should be the one thanking you.”
At the words ‘little lady’ from the Director’s lips, a faint smile crossed Yusong’s face.
Yewon was already being called the ‘beloved little lady’ of the Hyun Family and receiving tremendous affection.
And for good reason—the ‘curse of the Hyun Family’ that Lee Iho firmly believed in couldn’t be completely avoided even by distant branches.
So when such a lovely child was born into such a family, everyone couldn’t help but adore her.
…Of course, worried that Yewon might feel burdened, they only watched from a distance, rewatched the drama 321 times, or rewatched 【Glittering Baby House】 5,123 times.
“By the way, about that… child who’s been targeting our little lady…. What do you intend to do?”
At Hyun Director’s playful question, Yusong let out a soft laugh.
He could clearly sense what kind of answer the Director was expecting.
“I don’t want my daughter to grow up without knowing love. If my child can be showered with love and grow up giving love in return…. Isn’t that every father’s dream?”
“!”
Hyun Director’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer.
He’d thought Yusong would immediately send that reckless boy abroad for further studies!
“Of course.”
But Yusong’s words weren’t finished yet.
“That’s just a dream…. But protecting my daughter is a father’s duty…. If my daughter gets hurt, I must protect and shield her.”
“….”
That meant….
If Yewon is happy, he’ll leave things as they are, but if that boy makes even a single tear fall from Yewon’s eyes, he’ll deal with him immediately…?
Hyun Director nodded.
“I understand what you mean, Chairman. Shall we make this our action guideline number one?”
“I’m reassured by your such generous consideration.”
“All those protecting the young lady share a father’s heart. Have no worries.”
At Hyun Director’s words, Yusong chuckled.
“Then. I’ll entrust this fellow to you.”
At those words, Hyun Director turned to look beside him.
There lay Yeongho, still unconscious.
“Of course. Until you give further orders, no one will lay a finger on him.”
…Of course, once you give the order, this bastard will be erased from the world.

Meanwhile, at Yewon’s House.
“Uncle! I’m home…!”
After finishing the exhausting shoot, I stepped through the door only to find myself momentarily taken aback.
I had assumed my uncles would be resting in their respective rooms, yet instead they were all gathered at the entrance with eyes wide open like saucers, waiting for me!
“W-w-what’s with all of you…?”
“Yewon! You! Sit right here! Now!”
“That’s right. Come on, sit down quickly.”
At the firm tone of Weon and Eon, I tilted my head in confusion but obediently settled into the middle of the living room.
What strange gossip had they picked up this time to warrant such behavior?
“Listen here! No matter how kind, lovely, and gentle you are, you can’t just readily agree when another friend asks, ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’ like that! Understand!”
“…Uncle Weon is right, Yewon. Even if you promised to help your friends… you need to be careful…. The world these days is frightening, so you must always stay vigilant and… that’s what you need to do. It pains us to say such things to you, but… you’re the most important thing to us uncles….”
“Okay.”
I immediately grasped the situation.
So the news had already reached my uncles’ ears.
‘…It was definitely Grandfather who told them!’
Hmph. Next time I see him, I’ll tell him, ‘I don’t like you, Grandfather.’
“Okay! I understand!”
I answered obediently.
I couldn’t fault their concerns.
‘For a typical seven-year-old, hearing such worries is perfectly natural, after all.’
…The problem is that I’m not a typical seven-year-old!
“!”
Glitt was taken aback when I agreed so readily.
The reaction they had anticipated was something like, ‘Uncle, didn’t you say personal distance was important? Respect my privacy,’ or ‘Are you watching me, Uncle? Don’t you trust me? I hate you!’ or ‘I don’t like it! I like Hyuk oppa! You uncles are mean!’
…Why was I being so compliant?
“…You! Why aren’t you rebelling!”
“…?”
“I wanted to deliver a line like in a morning drama too—’Not until dirt enters my eyes will I ever agree!’ or ‘Here, take this candy and break up with our child!’—but…!”
“….”
At Weon’s words, everyone looked at him with pity.
“Hey, get out of here. You’re ruining the mood.”
“Ugh!!!!! I’m sorry!!!!!! I hate serious atmospheres like this!!!!!”
And so, Weon was dragged away to another room by Yeonho, protesting until the very end, but no one listened to him.
“…Yewon.”
“Hmm?”
“If you agreed to be girlfriend and boyfriend with Hyuk because you genuinely like him, Uncle would be fine with it…. But what bothers me is that you made such a promise to bring Hyuk into our company….”
“….”
“Why do you want to bring Hyuk to our company so badly? Can you tell Uncle the reason?”
At Lee Doha’s gentle voice, I felt myself shrink a little.
His concern was so warm.
“That company… it’s Hyuk’s older brother’s company. The one where Jeyeon and that bad man who tried to take me from Mother’s funeral home worked.”
“!”
At Yewon’s words, the remaining uncles stiffened in place.
While other words stung, it was the mention of “Mother’s funeral home” that truly made their hearts sink.
I realized once again just how deep that wound ran for Yewon.
“I don’t like that my friend is at such a company….”
“….”
At Yewon’s words, the uncles fell into prolonged silence.
Unable to bear the long silence, Yewon glanced nervously at the uncles.
Had I really overstepped? Was it too difficult to convince them with just this reason?
But I couldn’t tell them it was because of a Quest…!
Just as Yewon was about to break the silence and speak.
“Hey, get up.”
Eon stood.
“!”
“Let’s go to the company right now. We’ll go tell the CEO about this situation and bring him back.”
With those words, Eon grabbed his coat as if he truly meant to leave, then scooped Yewon into his arms.
“You get ready too, squirt. Let’s go.”
At Eon’s unexpected response, Yewon blinked in surprise.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I told you I was taught that you have to protect children and women.”
“!!”
That’s right, he did!
“The more I think about it, the more I feel like I need to go to England and ask them to add another adult man to the family….”
“Uncle Eooooon….”
Regardless of what Lee Doha was muttering beside her, Yewon was overwhelmed with emotion and threw her arms around Eon’s neck.
I really love Uncle Eon’s action-oriented nature like this!
“Why are you hugging me again? Honestly. You just keep hugging your boyfriend like this. I’m going to England.”
“That’s a bit….”
“What. I only let it slide because he’s a fake boyfriend. If he were a real one, I’d invite him to our house right now and say ‘I will look for you. I will find you… and I will…’ That’s how they do it in England.”
“Uncle, don’t spread rumors that I’ve never been to England….”
Yewon hugged Eon tighter and whispered.
Then Eon chuckled softly and rested his head against Yewon’s.
“Squirt.”
“Hmm?”
“Why do you keep trying to protect others with this tiny head of yours? Why don’t you leave that to us uncles and just think about eating cake at home?”
“I don’t want to….”
“You really don’t listen to a word I say…. You’re definitely Lee Doha’s niece.”
“…Yeah….”
“And you’re my niece too.”
“That’s right….”
While Eon and Yewon held each other close, indulging in their affectionate display.
‘Damn it all… I stuck by Lee Doha’s side and had to listen to people gush about how much he’s loved, and I suffered through all that for nothing… so why…’
‘Can’t I get in on this too…’
‘That bastard’s making his move first this time!!!! Ugh!!!! I should’ve said something that cool and smooth like that, ugh!!!!’
In turn, Yeonho, Lee Doha, and Weon—who had somehow stepped outside and was now witnessing this scene—muttered inwardly.
