Episode 30
“What the hell. How did you get in here?”
His physique seemed even bigger than it had been two months ago, making Eon’s brow furrow involuntarily.
He’s way too big for an idol. It ruins the group’s unity. I told him to tone down the muscle building.
How is it that not a single one of the members listens to what people say. Eon clicked his tongue inwardly.
CEO Park really has an amazing eye for talent.
“Don’t forget to call me hyung.”
“You want to be called hyung over a mere 8-month difference? Try saying that in London, just once.”
“Then just stay in London forever, why did you stubbornly come to Seoul.”
“You think I came because I wanted to?”
“Then why did you come?”
“…”
Eon couldn’t bring himself to answer ‘because I was afraid that humiliating video would spread all over the world,’ so he shut his mouth.
As if he expected this, Yeonho didn’t wait for Eon’s answer and instead plopped down on the sofa.
Yeonho looked at the ice bucket on the table and the already emptied wine bottles and frowned.
“This bastard and that bastard, always doing things that are bad for their bodies…”
Yeonho sighed and picked up the bottles one by one. If left alone, knowing Ian’s personality, he’d probably kick them around carelessly and they’d break soon.
“I’ll take care of my own body. Mind your own business.”
“Then quit like Taeyoung did. Don’t do group activities.”
“I will quit.”
The answer from Eon was unexpected, and Yeonho’s hand froze while cleaning up the wine.
“…Are you serious?”
“Yeah.”
“Ian.”
“I met Lee Doha today.”
“…”
“That bastard hasn’t changed at all. And he never will be able to change.”
Since Yeonho wasn’t unaware of what kind of hurt Eon had received and why, he kept his mouth shut.
Yeonho himself actually understood Lee Doha to some extent, so he wasn’t hurt and just scolded Lee Doha as a ‘pathetic bastard’ and left it at that.
But Eon and Lee Doha were incompatible in many ways, so Eon would inevitably get hurt.
Though he acted like he was the sharpest, Eon was the most delicate and sensitive of the four, and therefore the most fragile person.
“If you keep staying on a sinking ship, there’s something wrong with your head. Hyung should escape too.”
“…”
“Why, that saying is popular these days. ‘Even escaping is in order of intelligence.’ That saying is exactly right. That bastard Taeyoung was the smartest among us.”
After Eon let out a self-deprecating laugh, he shook his head as if disgusted and flopped down on the bed.
It meant he didn’t want to continue the conversation anymore.
However, Yeonho silently cleaned up all the wine bottles and trash scattered around as if he had no intention of leaving, then stood facing Eon.
Eon turned his back as if he didn’t want to see Yeonho like that.
Why is that bastard being so pathetic again, so unlike him. He thought.
“…It’s not that I don’t understand your feelings.”
Facing Eon’s back, Yeonho spoke in a quiet voice.
“…”
“I think we should give ‘GLEET’ one more chance, not Lee Doha.”
At the word GLEET, Eon’s eyes darkened even more.
Hearing that word, which he once believed without doubt would shine forever, made his heart feel even stranger.
“And… Weon says.”
Whether he knew Eon’s feelings or not, Yeonho continued.
“Lee Doha has changed.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“His niece apparently changed him somehow.”
“You believe that? Is there a screw loose in your head too, hyung?”
That guy who didn’t change even when the three of us clung to him for 10 years, changed because some little kid appeared?
Believe something believable.
Weon must be really desperate.
“Well, whether you believe it or not, I know you don’t want to quit right now either.”
“…”
“So… stop being stubborn and let’s meet at the company. You know there’s a meeting soon, right?”
“Bullshit. I’m not going.”
“Take it easy on the drinking.”
Yeonho left the room immediately without waiting for Eon’s answer.
Left alone in the large suite room, Eon quietly looked down at the night view lights flickering below the bed.
It was still a fake-looking world.
Nothing different from 10 years ago.
It’s strange, Lee Doha.
That you’ve changed a bit.
Why does that make me so angry?
Eon closed his eyes.
* * *
A few days later, at Time Entertainment headquarters meeting room.
CEO Park entered the brightly lit meeting room with Yeonho and Yeongeo,
“You’re already here? Lee Doha, that’s expected, but Weon, what’s the occasion… Oh my.”
He ended up laughing.
“Yewon looks like a real princess today?”
“…”
At CEO Park’s words, Yewon hung her head low.
Unlike Lee Doha who wore a simple white t-shirt and jeans, and Weon who wore a tracksuit, Yewon in a very pretty princess dress definitely stood out.
‘Really, I wanted to just wear comfortable clothes too…!’
Why did they make me wear this!
Yewon suppressed her anger.
“Well, since it’s the first time meeting Eon today, and the first impression with Yeonho hyung wasn’t great, we thought we’d try to refresh it. Yes yes. We rushed to get it from the department store. Yeongeo and I. How is it. Awesome, right. Wow. This insane attention-grabbing princess dress that she pulls off perfectly with this visual, legendary. As expected, she’s like my niece.”
“Who’s your niece. Watch your words.”
“It does suit her well. DNA doesn’t lie.”
At CEO Park’s words, Lee Doha nodded calmly.
“There’s no kid prettier than Yewon.”
“…”
Even Uncle Lee Doha, whom I trusted.
Yewon couldn’t bear how hot her face felt.
“Yewon’s been doing well, right?”
“Yes! I played with dolls with Uncle Lee Doha yesterday too.”
“Hmm. With Lee Doha?”
CEO Park tried to imagine Lee Doha playing with dolls and soon gave up.
It’s harmful to mental health, harmful.
Anyway…
“Seo Yeonho. Aren’t you going to greet the kids?”
“I did.”
“What kind of greeting is just nodding your head. Are you going to be so cold in front of a child?”
“…”
These words seemed to strike a chord, as Seo Yeonho’s shoulders twitched for a moment.
Then Yeonho sighed and-
“…Hello.”
Doha and Weon were passed over, and they greeted Yewon directly.
“Hello!”
However, Yewon didn’t panic and greeted them with a bright smile.
She had been grinding it out as a child actor for 9 years. This much was basic.
Yewon knew very well how to make adults find her adorable.
Adults liked children who were ‘quick-witted but didn’t show it obviously.’
If you revealed being too smart, they’d call you cunning.
But if you acted like a fool, they’d dislike you for being stupid.
So Yewon was very confident at pretending not to notice things like ‘adult circumstances’ and just smiling brightly like a doll.
“….”
But I can’t tell if the greeting worked or not.
Yewon didn’t avoid Yeonho’s gaze as he looked down at her with strange eyes, and consistently met it with a gentle eye-smile throughout.
This type of person actually can’t spit on someone who faces them with a smiling face.
“…They look exactly the same.”
Now you notice?
I mean, it’s not like this is the first time you’ve seen me.
Yewon realized just how frantically Yeonho had barged in back then.
He couldn’t even see me properly back then.
Yewon smiled even brighter and linked arms with Doha.
There was no need to ask who she looked ‘exactly the same’ as.
“Right? Uncle and I look alike, don’t we? I think so too!”
“…That bastard though.”
“?!”
Everyone in the meeting room was shocked by Yeonho’s shocking word choice.
B-bastard…?
“It would be better not to look like that son of a-”
“Y-Y-Y-Yeonho hyung!!!!!”
Yeongeo, who was next to Yeonho, quickly covered Yeonho’s mouth.
“Y-You can only use family-friendly language here, hyung!! Y-Yewon is only 7 years old….”
“Hmm.”
Seo Yeonho tilted his head as if displeased, but obediently closed his mouth.
“…Bastard….”
Doha also seemed to find that title quite insulting, muttering it once more, but didn’t bother to argue.
“…Where’s Eon?”
Yeongeo also seemed unable to adapt to this situation and subtly changed the subject.
“Eon is… well….”
“….”
Yeongeo trailed off as if troubled.
Doha and Weon’s faces grew even darker.
“Hwang PD will arrive in 10 minutes. Is he really not coming? After constantly begging for Hwang PD to get him on a show.”
That was right.
Today’s gathering was the first meeting for the new parenting variety show that GLEET and Yewon would appear on – 【Glittering Baby House】.
Of course, it was still in the discussion stage so it wasn’t a very formal meeting, but since it was still a first meeting, it was naturally important.
Moreover, the person who planned this variety show was PD Hwang Jio, who was famous for making everything he touched a huge hit.
No matter how much an idol’s image had fallen to rock bottom, Hwang Jio PD was famous for immediately cleaning up their image once he made a reality show for them, so it was an opportunity that all idols needing a comeback desperately wanted.
Furthermore, even before the Taeyoung withdrawal incident, Eon had always been eager to appear on this kind of reality show, so he had constantly pestered Yeongeo to somehow seduce Hwang PD.
But Ian wasn’t coming to this meeting?
That really meant Eon wasn’t just ordinarily angry.
Yeongeo sighed and turned his head toward Yeongeo.
“Yeongeo. Try calling Eon. Tell him to stop being stubborn-”
“Who’s being stubborn?”
“!!”
Everyone looked up in surprise.
Unlike the other members who dressed simply, there appeared Ian – who clearly announced ‘I am a celebrity’ just by his appearance.
