Part 2, Episode 19
“No, you mean you sighed that much while we were away? Is school really that tough? Is something wrong? Did you fight with friends? That doesn’t make sense—who could dislike our Yewon? That’s physically impossible!”
This was Weon.
“Don’t be dramatic. You’re probably just struggling to adjust to a new school. We’ve all been through it.”
This was Eon.
“…Seems like a stamina issue. We should get her exercising.”
This was Yeonho.
“It could be pressure about her next project. Lately when she looks at new scripts coming in, her expression doesn’t seem great…”
This was Lee Doha.
“You all guessed well, but I think differently.”
And Yusong spoke with the grave voice of a father.
“After analyzing the moments when Yewon sighed today, I confirmed that her sighing increased rapidly after a conversation with her mother-in-law. Furthermore, after searching for Director Yu Jeongseok on the internet, she sighed two more times. Therefore, the conclusion is.”
“The conclusion is…?”
“She must regret not being able to do Director Yu Jeongseok’s next project, which she really wanted to do.”
“Whoa!! Now that you mention it, that makes sense!! Really!!”
“Right.”
“That’s a convincing analysis.”
Everyone was nodding in agreement when there was one person.
‘…Are they all really not feeling something odd about this…?’
Only Eon shook his head from side to side, his face tired as he looked at the rest of them.
What kind of father analyzes his daughter down to the nanometer level like that!
“So I’m planning to investigate Director Yu more thoroughly and then reach out to contact him.”
“But… he said he wouldn’t do another project…. Would it really make a difference if my brother-in-law contacts him?”
When Lee Doha asked, the other members nodded together with worried expressions.
“I’m surprised you all still don’t know.”
Yet Yusong merely tilted his head and smiled.
“Do you not know the famous saying: ‘Too much money to refuse’?”
“…….”
“……???”
Well, they did know that meme…. But was that supposed to count as some kind of saying…?
Everyone stared at Yusong with bewildered faces.
Why was he…?
“In my experience, whenever I’ve proposed ‘too much money to refuse,’ there hasn’t been a single time the problem wasn’t solved.”
“…….”
“…….”
The four members of GLEET looked at Yusong’s remarkably confident expression and all thought the same thing at once.
Most of the time he acted normal, so they often forgot.
This man really wasn’t quite right either….
* * *
Dawn, on the rooftop of Yewon’s House.
“…Sigh.”
Lee Doha leaned against the railing and gazed up at the night sky. Lately, he’d been coming out to the rooftop like this in the early hours more and more often.
The reason was the nightmare that came for him every single night.
“Can’t sleep?”
“!”
At a voice that suddenly came from behind, he startled and turned around.
“Brother-in-law.”
Yusong was standing there with his brow furrowed.
“You seem to be coming out here frequently lately. I wondered if something was wrong.”
In other words, he’d come out following him because he was worried.
He might deny it, but he was quite thoughtful.
“No, it’s not that anything’s wrong…. Just, I’ve been having nightmares frequently these days.”
“Nightmares?”
At Lee Doha’s words, Yusong’s expression grew more serious.
“Nightmares can be a psychological issue. Since your brother-in-law’s daily habits are usually regular, it’s best to suspect stress. Is there something stressing you out lately?”
At Yusong’s quick launch into analysis, Lee Doha let out a short laugh.
“No. Not at all. Except maybe worrying a bit that Yewon might be pushing herself too hard with her new school…, everything’s the same as usual.”
Lee Doha said that and quickly added.
“It means I couldn’t ask for more. I’ve never been happier than I am now.”
His relationship with the other members was good, and he’d gained such precious family in Yewon and Yusong.
His prime had passed somewhat, but he still had many fans who loved him.
It couldn’t have been more perfect than this.
So why did he keep having nightmares he couldn’t understand?
—I’ll give him a second chance, as you wish.
A dream where an unidentifiable white fluffy mass appeared and looked down at him.
—But don’t forget, Lee Doha.
If it had merely been a dream of a fluffy mass speaking, he wouldn’t have called it a nightmare.
The problem was that Lee Doha himself, listening to those words, was collapsed alone in the living room.
His head splitting with pain.
—If you fail this time, my soul will become entirely mine.
With those words, fire began to spread all around, and his consciousness vanished completely.
Each time he woke from such a strange nightmare, Lee Doha felt unsettled.
A voice so vivid it felt real, the acrid smell of smoke lingering at the tip of his nose.
All of it was deeply unpleasant.
“Still, wouldn’t it be good to try counseling at least? They say people usually don’t realize how much they’re struggling.”
“Ha. I’m fine for now, really.”
Even at Yusong’s suggestion, Lee Doha shook his head.
It wasn’t that he disliked counseling. There genuinely was nothing stressing him out lately.
“I just happened to watch a scary movie recently, that’s all. Eon insisted on seeing it, so I had no choice but to watch it. I should learn to say no next time, anyway.”
“…I see.”
When Lee Doha refused, Yusong didn’t push the matter.
He’d learned from experience that despite his gentle appearance, Lee Doha could be quite stubborn.
“I’m heading down now. Brother-in-law should come too.”
“…Brother-in-law.”
“What?”
Yusong tilted his head slightly, leaning against the door.
“Seoha’s doing it, and Yewon’s doing it too…. And you, brother-in-law.”
As the names of family members tumbled out one after another, Lee Doha blinked in confusion.
What—his sister and Yewon, suddenly here?
“People from the Lee family have this bad habit of trying to handle everything on their own.”
“!”
Bad habit?
At such a striking word choice, Lee Doha’s mouth fell open.
“Sometimes you have to learn to lean on family. That’s what family is for, after all.”
“…Uh… yes….”
But if brother-in-law says it that way, it hardly carries weight, does it…!
The Hyun Family seems like the last place where anyone would depend on each other…!
“The Hyun Family knows how to use each other without hesitation when we need to.”
Yusong said it boldly, as if he’d read Lee Doha’s doubt.
“…….”
Is he really calling that leaning on each other….
Lee Doha gave up on saying anything more.
* * *
The next day.
Yewon arrived at school very early.
Because she needed to meet Yoo Eun-oh without catching the third-year students’ attention.
Yewon rose up on her toes and peered through the hallway window into the Third-Year Classroom.
‘Just as I thought!’
Seeing Yoo Eun-oh sitting alone in the classroom, reading something, Yewon let out a small triumphant laugh.
‘I knew he’d be here first.’
From the look of him—such a perfectionist, such pride—it seemed he’d naturally arrive earliest.
Yewon carefully tapped on the window.
Then Yoo Eun-oh looked up and saw her.
“…?”
Whether Yoo Eun-oh’s delicate eyes narrowed or not, Yewon tried her best to muster the most harmless smile as she gestured to him.
Just a moment—come outside, she signaled.
Then Yoo Eun-oh let out a long sigh, glanced around once, and stepped out of the classroom.
Thank goodness he came without protest.
‘If he hadn’t, I was ready to show him the video Siwoo gave me yesterday.’
In any case, Yoo Eun-oh, having come outside,
“…You.”
He looked down at her with tired eyes and spoke.
“Quiet, moderate, trouble-free… You don’t seem interested in those sorts of words.”
That’s not it at all…
There’s no one in this world who wants to live that way more than I do…
Yewon swallowed her indignation with effort.
This is so unfair…!
“I came to ask for your help. If you assist me, I won’t show my face around here again.”
I just hope he doesn’t throw me out!
Yewon looked at Yoo Eun-oh with pleading eyes.
When a junior looks at you with such pitiful eyes, you’d help just once, wouldn’t you?
“….”
Yoo Eun-oh regarded her quietly for a moment, then exhaled a long breath as if resigned.
“Tell me.”
Done!
