Part 2, Episode 31
* * *
That evening.
Yoo Euno wasn’t the only one eating a family dinner.
Yewon, too, found herself sitting down to a proper meal thanks to her father’s wish to commemorate the “gift” properly.
“Tadaaaa~~ Hanwon’s signature Galbi-jjim~~ makes its grand entrance~~! Ah, I just tasted one bite, and let me tell you, no words needed. I need to sign up for a cooking survival show right now. Seriously.”
“Making a fuss over one dish of Galbi-jjim, honestly.”
“What?! One dish?! Hey, Eon, you’ve never lifted a finger in your life, so you have no idea how hard it is to make this Galbi-jjim. I was up since dawn draining the blood, trimming vegetables one by one, skimming the excess fat off for our Yewon’s energy on her new semester! I did it all! And did I only make Galbi-jjim? No. I made the japchae too, the radish wraps Yewon loves, and everything. This is my fate. Nobody… I… nobody… appreciates… my hard work….”
“No, no. I appreciate it, Uncle.”
“Sob! You’re the only one for me, my baby bird!”
As Weon wobbled as though he might collapse to the floor at any moment, tears streaming down his face, Yewon hastily tried to soothe him while shooting a glare at Eon.
“Why are you making Uncle Weon cry, Uncle Eon?”
“I’m not making him cry. He’s doing it all by himself.”
….
Even after seven years, Yewon shook her head at Eon’s stubborn nature.
My uncle’s temperamental personality will never get fixed.
But the other members, far too accustomed to this by now, barely spared them a glance.
Instead, they seemed wholly preoccupied with one thing: how to get the Galbi-jjim into Yewon’s mouth first and foremost. Every time she so much as opened her lips, they were busy trying to slip a piece of perfectly cleaned meat into her mouth.
Yewon noticed her uncles’ scheme but deliberately pretended not to see it.
“Anyway, I’ll eat well-”
I’m not a child anymore. I can eat the Galbi-jjim on my own-
“?!”
“Success.”
This is unbelievable.
Yewon gasped at the Galbi-jjim that had slipped directly into her mouth, where she’d been about to thank Weon, and turned to look at Lee Doha.
“How on earth—!”
“It’s not like we just started feeding you. This is basic, you know. Ha ha.”
Across from the proudly boasting Lee Doha, Yusong looked at him with an expression of utter devastation.
I… was going to feed her first…. Even gave her such a big gift today—a Director Yoo production…. It should be me…. Why…..
“…Uncle, hello? I’m in middle school now? I’m not a baby anymore?”
“Yup, yup~”
Lee Doha shrugged as though barely listening and continued piling side dishes onto Yewon’s plate in front of her.
In my eyes, you’ll be a baby even at a hundred years old!
“Honestly, Lee Doha. You won’t take my side, but you’ll slip my cooking into Yewon’s mouth first? This world is truly so unreasonable and—”
“Then be quicker.”
“Whoa!!! I seriously want to record this and post it online. Top Idol Leader Lee What’s-His-Name Criticized for Bad Character!!”
“Ugh, quiet. At the dinner table, seriously.”
“All of you, stop talking. Tell us about school, Yewon.”
Bonk, bonk, bonk, bonk.
What was that sound, you ask?
It was Seo Yeonho using his muscular forearms to create small bumps on the heads of the bickering members.
After forcibly silencing the mouths of members who acted even more childish than their actual ages, he turned to Yewon.
“Well, I applied to the Film Club at school, and the competition rate was really high so I didn’t have high hopes, but I got in!”
“Yaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!! That’s our baby bird!!!!!”
“Of course you got in. How could you not?”
“It’s truly remarkable. Our Yewon.”
“Mm.”
“Well done. That’s our girl.”
In order: Weon, Eon, Lee Doha, Yeonho, and Yusong.
“Did a lot of your close friends get in too?”
“Yeah! Jeongyun, Harin, and Baek Yun all got in, and… Inhee, who I’ve gotten close with recently, got in too.”
At the phrase “gotten close with recently,” all five men broke into broad smiles simultaneously.
They’d wanted to ask if she’d made new friends, but worried she might be hurt, they’d spent the past nights fretting in silence—now all that anxiety was rewarded at once.
“Oh! And Siwoo got in too. I’ve gotten pretty close with Siwoo. The more I spend time with him, the more he seems… like a decent person. He’s a little unusual, though.”
“Eh? That… Hyun Siwoo? Did he come to push you out?”
“Hey, watch your words. She said they became friends.”
“Oh, right. Okay.”
When Weon asked with some suspicion, Eon immediately stopped him from the side.
Yewon shook her head as if to say it was fine.
“Siwoo didn’t seem to want to come to our school either. I think… the expectations from the adults around Siwoo are just really high. Siwoo’s still just a kid like me, you know?”
At her words, all five men fell silent at once.
They’d only found Yewon irritating because she’d come to keep tabs on them, but now Yewon was accepting the situation far more maturely than the adults themselves.
Yusong patted Yewon’s shoulder, as if impressed by her.
“That’s right. Our daughter has such a good heart. Since she’s in your class, it’s wonderful if you two get along well.”
“Of course.”
“But I heard the girl’s a bit unusual. Is that okay?”
Eon asked worriedly, furrowing his brow.
“Ah, yes!”
…There’s no one quite as unusual as Uncle and Dad, so I’m already immune to it… but I can’t exactly say that…!
Yewon simply ate her Galbi-jjim in silence.
“Anyone in the club you’ve gotten closer to? I mean, it hasn’t been long, but. You know, that feeling where you think, ‘Hmm, I feel like I’d get along well with that person’ right away?”
“Are they talking about me~? Right~? Lee Doha~?”
At Doha’s question, Weon asked with a sly grin on his face.
But Doha completely ignored him.
“No. You made a bad first impression. You’re loud and you just leak information everywhere.”
“Do you really want to get hit with Galbi-jjim?!”
As the two uncles bickered, Yewon hesitated and thought of someone.
Someone she might get close to….
“Hmm… Well, there wasn’t really anyone like that….”
“…?”
At Yewon’s vague tone, Yusong’s eyebrows shot up involuntarily.
It wasn’t that he disliked his daughter’s answer—it was that some paternal instinct was screaming alarm sirens like mad.
For no reason he could name, his heart suddenly began hammering and his blood pressure was threatening to spike to 200, and he didn’t like how it felt.
Why this ominous feeling over such a simple answer?
Yusong examined his daughter’s face again with a pale complexion.
She was always soft and gentle like a peach—an angel who had come to save his life. Nothing had changed.
Then why…?
“There’s a rather interesting senior though.”
“?”
“??”
“???”
“????”
“…….”
At Yewon’s words, the other uncles too seemed to sense something.
They all came to a complete standstill, staring at Yewon.
A… senior?
Something about this feeling was rotten…?
“The film club president. I thought it’d be good to get to know them beforehand!”
“….”
At her words, all five men held their breath and began rolling their eyes wildly.
‘…Surely not?’
‘No!!!!!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, let it be a female senior!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!’
‘What sin have I committed… that I deserve… this trial? I thought from now on I’d only walk the path of happiness with our Yewon….’
‘XXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXX.’
In order, that was Yeonho, Weon, Doha, and Eon.
And.
‘(Censored) (Censored) (Censored).’
That was Hyeon Yuseong.
All of them were losing their minds.
“That senior really seemed like they’d be great at making films! I thought it’d be good to get close to a future master director, you know. That’s why everyone comes to the club, I guess.”
“Ahhhhh—”
At Yewon’s words, all five men simultaneously let out sighs of relief.
“?”
Just as Yewon was about to sense something was off.
“Ah! I see~~ Well then~~ Go and make a good impression~~”
“It’s rare to find a director with such talent from middle school. Nurture that friendship well.”
“Mm.”
“They must have seemed really smart, that senior.”
The uncles and her father hastily smiled and smoothed things over.
“But, daughter.”
“Sorry?”
“Your father is just curious about that talented friend of yours. What’s his name?”
What?
Yewon tilted her head, studying Yusong as he spoke with such warmth.
His face was always as rational and composed as ever—
So why did something feel off? Was it just her imagination?
“Father probably saw him in the entrance ceremony video. He’s our student council president. Yoo Euno.”
Clang.
At Yewon’s words, five spoons that had been suspended in midair fell simultaneously onto the dining table and floor.
All five men knew that name far too well.
The one who had survived in that remarkable, crystal-clear video quality where every pore was visible.
‘Yoo Euno.’
