Episode 27
* * *
On the road from Incheon Airport to Seoul.
A man was looking outside with the car window down, his sunglasses pushed up on his head.
He knew there were at least five cars full of sasaengs following this van, but the man looked completely unbothered, his face calm.
“Uh, Eon hyung. You should roll up the window…”
“Do I care?”
“…”
Yeongeo, who had brought this up for nothing and gained nothing in return, shut his mouth.
‘Right, it’s already a miracle that I somehow dragged him all the way to Korea…’
Yeongeo swallowed his tears inwardly.
“S-should I go home first…?”
“Go to a hotel.”
“Huh?”
“I said go to a hotel. I don’t want to see that damn place where Lee Doha is.”
Eon said with an annoyed face, pulling his sunglasses down.
Just hearing Lee Doha’s name made him so heated he couldn’t stand it.
“B-but how can we go to a hotel… The whole world knows you and Doha live together…”
“Do I care?”
Then who would care if not you, you bad guy…
Yeongeo swallowed his tears and composed himself.
Be patient.
Our Eon is a child with many wounds. Yeah. I have to endure this.
Actually, Yeongeo had found it really amazing ever since Doha and Eon decided to live together and bought that house.
If Doha and Weon had decided to live together, it wouldn’t have been surprising. Those two got along well despite their bickering.
But Ian and Lee Doha?
These two were the ultimate opposites.
‘A meeting between the ultimate avoidant type and the ultimate anxious type…’
If this had been a romance, it would have led to nothing but destruction…
However, the two lived together as if it were natural, and strangely, they were quiet without much incident.
Yeongeo, who had been curious about how that was possible, was able to discover the secret to their successful cohabitation only after visiting their house.
‘…They only share the house but absolutely never run into each other!’
Like two cats living in the same house, the two were thoroughly living without invading each other’s territory.
Doha had his studio and his own room.
Eon had the study (the room Yewon is currently using) and his own room.
And the living room and dressing room were neutral zones they carefully avoided each other in.
‘I wondered why they lived together if they were going to live like that…’
When he asked that question to Eon and Doha separately.
‘I need to keep watch so Ian doesn’t cause trouble.’
Doha answered like this.
‘Someone has to take care of me. Lee Doha has the most talent for that.’
Eon answered like this.
He intuitively felt that wasn’t the whole reason they lived together, but at that bizarre agreement of needs, Yeongeo just concluded by feeling sorry for Doha.
If Doha didn’t ‘take care of’ Eon, the next candidate would probably be Yeongeo.
However.
‘Why do those two live together?’
Weon’s thoughts were a bit different.
‘Why are you asking something so obvious? They’d die if they couldn’t see each other. They can’t live without each other, those two.’
Of course, when Weon said that, both Eon and Doha’s feet flew toward Weon’s back.
Actually, Weon’s words were hard to understand.
If they couldn’t live without each other, then why did they live at home without saying a word to each other or even running into each other?
‘…It’s a relationship that can’t be understood with a normal person’s mind anyway…’
That’s exactly what a romance between an avoidant type and an anxious type is like…
Yeongeo came to that random conclusion.
“Where’s Seo Yeonho?”
“Huh?”
“I asked where Seo Yeonho is.”
At Eon’s sudden question, Yeongeo’s mind returned to reality.
“Yeonho hyung is probably at the gym…?”
“Ask that bastard why he only posts his workout photos on Sparkle and disappears. Does he think he’s an athlete? If he’s a singer, he should live like a singer.”
“…Y-yeah… I’ll definitely ask when I get the chance…”
Sparkle was GLEET’s exclusive app, an app where fans and GLEET communicated and where all of GLEET’s activities were posted.
As Eon said, lately Yeonho had been posting only workout photos on Sparkle almost daily and disappearing, so fans had been jokingly teasing him about being an athlete.
‘…Still, Eon is the best at keeping track of all the fans’ reactions like this.’
While the other members also loved their fans dearly, they were somewhat lacking in sense.
Eon was amazingly good at catching fans’ feelings and responding keenly.
“What’s going on with Lee Doha?”
“Huh?”
“That bastard has been scarce on Sparkle lately. I’ve never seen that fan-obsessed bastard not come to Sparkle for so long.”
“It’s only been three days…?”
“That’s what I’m saying. Are you going to make me say it twice?”
“…”
Well.
Doha did attend Sparkle every day and communicate with fans for exactly 30 minutes, so not logging in for three days this time was indeed a record.
‘Wait, he was counting all of that…?!’
Really an incomprehensible guy…
Yeongeo looked at Eon through the rearview mirror with curiosity.
“What are you staring at.”
“…”
I really don’t understand…
“I’m asking what’s going on with Lee Doha. Aren’t you going to answer?”
“…Well… Um…”
Since lying that nothing was wrong would obviously be exposed the moment they arrived home (and he’d obviously get beaten up by Eon when exposed), Yeongeo hesitated.
“Don’t tell me that bastard is sick?”
“Huh?”
“Is he on his deathbed? Is that why you told me to come?”
“…”
When Yeongeo was too flustered to say anything.
Eon’s expression hardened frighteningly, then he quickly rolled up the car window.
And he sat up and started growling with the intensity of almost killing Yeongeo.
“What’s going on. Is that bastard really dying? Why is he dying. Did he get in an accident? No, fuck. That bastard can’t even say when he’s sick, so that’s why I told you to keep a proper eye on him without looking away-!”
“E-Eon hyung! Calm down! Calm down! Doha isn’t sick at all!!”
Yeongeo quickly explained, worried that Eon might grab his neck while he was holding the steering wheel.
He didn’t want to become death buddies with Ian of all people!
“Then what the fuck is going on-!”
* * *
“…Are you really crazy, Lee Doha?”
And.
Exactly an hour and a half later.
Exactly an hour and a half later.
Ian was letting out a hollow laugh in the living room of his home.
“I haven’t lost my mind.”
And in front of Eon like that, Doha was answering calmly.
Weon and Yeongeo quietly kept their mouths shut between the two.
‘If I butt in here wrongly, I’m dead… It was good that we left Yewon with the CEO when we heard Eon was coming… Really…’
They thought.
“Unless you’ve completely lost it, how are you going to raise a child.”
“It’s a conclusion I reached after much deliberation. Curse me as much as you want. That won’t change my conclusion.”
“XXX!!! XX- XXX XX XX XXX XXXX XX XX XXX XX X X XX-!”
“….”
Doha looked at Eon with eyes that said, ‘I didn’t mean for you to curse this much though.’
“It’s not your niece, right? You got yourself into trouble, right? Tell me honestly.”
“I didn’t get into trouble.”
At Doha’s words, Eon exploded even more.
More than anyone, he knew best that Lee Doha was absolutely not someone who would get into trouble- but even so, it was too absurd not to ask.
“How could you be raising a child at 25 without getting into trouble. Don’t lie to me. After all that pretending to be rational by yourself, pretending to have no emotions, have you lost your mind?”
“It’s a decision I made after long deliberation. It wasn’t an easy decision for me either.”
Even with Eon’s harsh words and irritation, Doha answered patiently.
However.
“Then leave her with other relatives. Why block your own future? First, to your father-”
“You know best that I have no parents, Eon hyung.”
At the word father, Doha’s eyes also flipped completely. At that look, Eon flinched for a moment and shut his mouth.
He made a mistake. He shouldn’t have brought up father to Lee Doha, of all things.
Calling him ‘Eon hyung’ instead of ‘Ian’ was proof of Lee Doha’s anger. When Doha was angry, he became coldly affectionate instead.
“….”
“I understand you’re angry. But I’ll make sure it doesn’t harm our activities as much as possible. I’ll explain properly to the fans myself.”
“Then you’d have to talk about all your family affairs, and with your personality, you’d say all that with your own mouth?”
Eon knew too. What family meant to Doha. How extremely reluctant Doha had been to mention family matters.
That’s why this situation was even more unbelievable.
“I won’t say everything. I just need to say what’s necessary.”
“Would that work? It’ll all be exposed eventually. Don’t you know that’s how the entertainment industry is?”
“Then I’ll have to say it. Even if I spill everything, it’s not my loss but that bastard’s loss.”
“Hey, Lee Doha.”
When Eon called his name, Doha let out a hollow laugh.
“I think I’ve endured that person for 25 years, which is enough, don’t you think?”
“….”
“Eon hyung, you tell me.”
At the sight of Doha speaking with empty eyes-
“Should I endure more?”
Instead of answering, Eon just bit his lips.
“Should I endure my father saying that he decided to live as if his child was never born because he was blinded by success, and that’s why he abandoned me?”
