Part 2, Episode 54
* * *
He needed to correct himself.
Eon wanted to take back every thought he’d had just moments before.
He wasn’t the only sane one among these fools.
He was the biggest fool among them all.
In the moment when Hyuk, whom they’d thought was sending Yewon home safely, suddenly pivoted and moved toward her—
All four men felt the same instinctive certainty, without anyone saying a word.
‘No! No! Not after twenty, and certainly not before twenty! My eyes would have to be filled with dirt before I’d allow it, and right now, streaming live in front of my face—I’d rather die a hundred times, be reborn a hundred times, crumble to dust, and scatter to the earth than let this happen!’
‘Is he insane? He knows exactly who’s in this house and he’s going to pull this right in front of us? And those muscles aren’t even that impressive. Don’t tell me he’s underestimating my physique.’
‘Today is the day I retire from being an idol. You hear that, Lee Doha? I swore I’d never make the news for the sake of Glow’s members, but sadly, circumstances have changed.’
‘Seoha. Please. Seoha.’
Just as they were about to descend with their “weapons” (which weren’t weapons)—
“Wait. Put all the weapons down before you go. Yewon’s going to be startled.”
As Yeonho tensed every muscle in his body—clearly the most dangerous weapon of them all—and spoke, the other three men immediately recalled Yewon’s frightened expression and hurled what they’d been holding to the ground.
They jabbed at the elevator button, couldn’t wait for it, and bolted down the staircase instead, cursing their decision to live in a penthouse rather than on the first floor.
The moment they burst outside the building, Eon kicked Hanwon in the shin.
“You idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
There was no particular reason—just that he needed to use the loudest voice among them.
“The Seven-Year Rule!!! What are you doing!!! Get away from our girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Good.
Remarkably effective lungs, indeed.
As Eon spotted the boy and girl immediately spring apart about a meter, his expression became satisfied.
But then he noticed something else.
Namely—
“Saaaam…Choooon…. Ahhh…Daaaad…………….”
A truly enraged, teenage-version Yewon—the first he’d ever seen in his life.
In that moment, Eon understood.
Oh no.
No matter how angelic, no matter how docile, no matter how adorable—
You should never, ever touch an angry teenage girl.

Yewon quickly smoothed things over with an immediate string of apologies—”I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Let me get you home! I’ll apologize properly tomorrow. Just go now!”—and the moment Hyuk had completely disappeared, she turned to her uncles and fathers with the quiet, terrifying calm that precedes a storm, and smiled sweetly.
“…!!!!!!”
“…….”
“Y-Yewon. We weren’t trying to…”
“Oh. Baby bird’s angry.”
They were, in order, Yeonho, Yusong, Eon, and Weon.
All four men hunched their shoulders in terror and approached her cautiously.
“I’m not a baby bird.”
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Weon, having heard something so terrifying, made no sound at all—just opened his mouth so wide his jaw seemed about to unhinge.
The other three men stared at Yewon as though they’d heard something equally dreadful.
Yewon, looking at the four of them, smiled even more rigidly.
“I am, now, not, a baby.”
“!!!!”
“I feel like I’ve said this before, but Dad and my uncles keep forgetting. Isn’t that right?”
“…….”
The four men muttered only to themselves, their faces growing very gloomy.
No… you are… you’re definitely a baby. You’re so completely our baby….
But no one had the courage to speak that thought aloud.
It would have been easier if Yewon had simply raged, but this calm, frightening composure was far more terrifying.
“No matter how young I am, I still have my own private life. You spy on it, you don’t stop there—you meddle, you threaten innocent people, and in doing so, you embarrass me and damage my relationships. How do you think that makes me feel?”
“…!!!!”
She’s being so logical…!
Weon broke out in a cold sweat.
He’d seen this side of Yewon very, very rarely. Though this was the first time he’d been on the receiving end of it. This “logical Yewon” only ever surfaced when Lee Doha failed to take care of himself and Yewon reached an extreme state of anger.
But for this version of her to appear before them….
“Dad and my uncles don’t respect how I feel. Honestly… I’m really hurt and really upset.”

“!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Others might not understand what came next, but Weon knew the procedure all too well.
“But none of this is entirely Dad’s and Uncle’s fault. I share the blame. I should have drawn the line long ago. I put this moment off because I understood how they felt, because I pitied them — that was my mistake.”
“No, no, Yewon, no… Uncle got it all wrong, all wrong… please don’t say that….”
Weon called out to her, his face nearly crumpling into tears.
This was it. This was the real thing.
“I need time to calm my heart and reflect on everything. While I do that, I’d really appreciate it if everyone could respect my space and my time — truly respect them. It’s not just something I need. Dad and Uncle need it too.”
Yes, that was it.
“So just leave me alone.”
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Four men collapsed like dominoes.

“…?”
When Lee Doha arrived home and found every light in the house switched off, he tilted his head in bewilderment.
What was this about?
It was only seven in the evening.
He’d left the hospital after hearing the test results, and traffic had been unusually heavy, so it was now later than expected.
It wasn’t bedtime yet. Had they gone out to eat?
Lee Doha had hoped that even if they didn’t welcome him home with fanfare, at least everyone would come out and ask, “Uncle’s back? Did you get the results? Are you alright?” Instead, he found himself strangely disappointed.
Just then.
“Uncle? You’re home? Did the hospital visit go well? Did you get good news…?”
“Oh, Yewon.”
Yewon rushed out from her room toward Lee Doha.
Right. No matter how hard you raised those idol kids, it was nothing compared to having one niece. She was the best.
The moment Lee Doha saw Yewon, he wrapped her in a tight embrace.
“Yes. Uncle’s all fine. Very healthy, they said. It’s all thanks to our Yewon nagging me and taking care of me every day.”
“Thank goodness.”
Yewon hugged him tightly as well, her expression softening with relief.
“But where did everyone go?”
“No, they’re in the house.”
Yewon said this, and her smile faded slightly as she stepped back.
“Hmm…? But why… aren’t they coming out…?”
“That’s because I asked them not to. I’m going back in.”
“What? Back where? To your room? Already?”
He’d wanted to have dinner together, give Yewon a lecture about eating properly now that Uncle was healthy and about participating earnestly in PE class at school, and maybe have some quality time together for the first time in a while. But already?
Lee Doha asked, his disappointment evident.
“I’m sorry to Uncle. But… there’s nothing I can do about it.”
“Nothing you can do about it…?”
“Ask the other uncles about the rest.”
Yewon smiled brightly and slipped back into her room.
Wait?
Her words just now had an edge to them, didn’t they? Why did her voice feel like it was wearing a smiley-face emoji? What on earth happened while I was away?
While Lee Doha stood dumbfounded in the entryway.
From the darkness, several heads emerged partway into view.
“…?”
What was that?
It was too dark to see clearly, so Lee Doha squinted.
“Yewon went in…?”
“…?”
Weon…?
“Yeah, she went in.”
The moment Lee Doha spoke, the doors suddenly burst open.
Shuffle.
Shuffle….
And then four figures emerged, moving with the weariest, most lifeless gait imaginable.
What was wrong with them?
Lee Doha turned on the lights, feeling slightly disgusted. It was one thing with Yewon, but grown men acting like that didn’t look good at all.
“!”
The moment the house flooded with light.
Lee Doha froze.
“Everyone looks… Brother-in-law, what happened?”
In just six hours away from home, the men of this house had withered like corpses.
“……Something…… happened.”
Lee Doha had never seen Yusong look so downcast. The man who’d always been so precise, honed to an almost razor-sharp edge—why did he look like this?
“Lee Doha, you should count yourself lucky…… If you’d been there too…… you’d have been banished along with them….”
Eon mumbled under his breath and collapsed onto the sofa.
He didn’t even have the strength to stand.
“Banished? What are you talking about?”
“Banished, yeah….”
Weon didn’t even have the energy to reach the sofa—he simply slid down onto the floor.
“Banishment from Yewon’s World….”
“…….”
What nonsense is this?
Lee Doha noticed something clutched in Weon’s hand and narrowed his eyes, snatching it away.
And he stopped short.
It was a letter of reflection.
[Letter of Reflection ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
Yewon, hey……….? It’s Uncle Weon……. Okay, so Uncle really did commit a grave sin, and I should have understood our Yewon’s feelings, but this stupid uncle….
“…….”
Having grasped the situation from Weon’s letter of reflection, Lee Doha nodded slowly.
It really was fortunate.
I almost got banished by Yewon myself.
The hospital saved me.
So that’s why adults keep saying people should visit the hospital often!
