Episode 33
“Yewon’s child acting activities? Doha, well….”
Meanwhile, at Hwang PD’s question, Yeongeo deliberately trailed off his words.
“There’s no parent who can beat their child. Seems like there’s no uncle who can beat their niece either.”
“Haha.”
“That kid who never let anyone close except the members… Really. In such a short time, it seems like he’s grown surprisingly attached.”
“That’s good for Doha. That kid deserves to have a good family.”
“Yewon deserves that too.”
The two men looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
“…But, once the broadcast starts, stories about Doha’s family will definitely spread. Doha isn’t just any ordinary celebrity, he’s the idol that the entire nation is most interested in right now. Can you handle it?”
“Honestly, I can handle it, but I’m worried about Doha. But Doha didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t want him to hide anymore as if he’s some kind of criminal.”
At Yeongeo’s words, Hwang PD nodded.
“Will Doha continue raising her himself?”
“Of course. With Doha’s personality, even when the kid grows up, he won’t be able to let her be independent and will keep her by his side until he walks Yewon down the aisle at her wedding. No, he’ll probably insist she can’t get married at all.”
Hmm.
Hwang PD chuckled imagining that scene, but then his expression darkened.
“…But what worries me is… this will eventually reach ‘that person’s’ ears. Then as a grandfather… won’t he come looking?”
Hwang PD knew who Doha’s biological father was. It wasn’t something Doha or Yeongeo had told him. Rather, the person who told him was Doha’s biological father himself.
“Someone who abandoned his own son, caring about his granddaughter? I doubt it. And even if he shamelessly shows up suddenly—”
Yeongeo said that much and chuckled.
“I don’t think Doha would let that person get close.”
“True. That does seem likely.”
“That kid Doha, he only looks pretty on the outside. His temper is no joke. He seems docile because he’s surrounded by kids who are even more crazy than him.”
“…Ahem, ahem.”
At Yeongeo’s words, Hwang PD was flustered. He had to film a parenting variety show with those crazy kids.
…Would it be okay?
* * *
And so, the long-awaited first filming day.
“Yewon, are you awake?”
Yewon nodded with a very tense face.
“Yes!”
“Okay, then let’s go greet everyone with Uncle. Everyone’s already here, set up the cameras, and finished preparing.”
Yewon glanced at the clock on the wall.
It’s 7 AM. Everyone’s amazing….
Since it was a parenting variety show, they had to film at home, so it was good that she didn’t have to go outside.
“Oh. Yewon’s awake? It’s only 7 o’clock. Aren’t you being too diligent?”
As she shuffled out to the living room, Hwang PD warmly welcomed Yewon.
Yewon politely greeted Hwang PD.
‘My Quest customer…!’
She absolutely had to make a good impression.
“Weon went to the shop since dawn and came back. Doha, didn’t you go?”
“I thought you’d like the natural look so I didn’t go. Should I go now?”
“No. I actually like natural too…. I told Weon to remove his makeup…. I wanted that vibe of just waking up and coming out….”
“….”
“Not you, but I never expected that guy Weon to be so diligent about going.”
At the tremendous waste of time and money, both Doha and Yewon became solemn.
Then.
With a ding-dong sound, the door opened.
“…?”
Wait, if you’re going to ring the bell and then open the door, why ring the bell?
Yewon couldn’t hide her bewilderment.
The person who opened the door and entered was none other than Eon.
“Eon, you… if you’re just going to come in like that, why did you ring the bell?”
“I rang it first, but then thinking about it, half of this house is mine, so why should I ring the bell? The password is my birthday too.”
True.
This house was originally where Eon lived together too.
Yewon looked up at Eon with fresh eyes.
He doesn’t seem like someone who’d like living with others.
What was he thinking when he decided to live with Uncle Doha back then?
“…The password is your birthday?”
“Yes.”
In a house he lives in with Doha?
Hwang PD looked back at Doha with eyes demanding an explanation.
“I don’t really care about anything. There’s no one else who would come in anyway.”
Doha said that, then as if realizing something, hurriedly bent down and whispered to Yewon.
“That’s from before you came, Yewon.”
“I know.”
Such a kind person. I know even without you explaining.
But then.
“!”
At the cold sensation touching her cheek, Yewon looked up.
“…?”
What is it?
It’s so cold!
The person holding something against Yewon’s cheek was none other than Eon.
What, what is he holding against it?
Yewon panicked and rolled her eyes to check her cheek.
There was—
“Ice…cream?”
“You said you like it.”
“!”
At Eon’s words, Yewon’s eyes widened.
He remembered that and bought it for me?
That was just something I said randomly to get out of the situation…!
Just as Yewon was about to be moved.
“Don’t eat it now, eat it later when we start filming. You have to say I bought it for you.”
Eon poured cold water on the moment.
“….”
“….”
At Eon’s incredible words, everyone’s gazes turned cold.
That guy obsessed with image management….
A little later, when Yeonho joined them too, Hwang PD gathered them and began explaining.
“First, this filming will be edited into a 10-minute piece. It’s a video we’ll release on OTube first for promotional purposes. Don’t think you absolutely have to create content in today’s filming. We’ll keep coming back repeatedly until Yewon feels comfortable and adapts well. Got it?”
“Yes.”
“Don’t we have any character concepts or scripts?”
Doha asked in a worried voice.
“None at all. Just do it. Comfortably. And honestly.”
“Still….”
“If it gets too boring while filming, I’ll make some then. Just act naturally like usual.”
“…But that won’t work…? Our image will hit rock bottom?!”
Weon muttered.
“Well, I said it was good for me since I’m good at drawing aggro, last time.”
“….”
At Hwang PD’s words, Yewon glared sharply at Weon.
No way…! Hide your true natures!
[…Make sure the members finish their first filming without fighting…]
Yewon glanced at the Quest window that was flashing like a warning beside her.
It feels like a death flag….
Like a hint that they’ll definitely end up fighting, something like that….
‘Absolutely not. I’ll make sure it succeeds no matter what.’
“But I understand your concerns, so I’ve decided on today’s content. Today we’re doing ‘Hope You Get Close Through Snacks.'”
“Oho.”
“Each of you will take turns introducing your favorite snacks and we’ll all eat them together.”
True to a childcare variety show, they brought a cute topic.
Yewon nodded her head.
“Remember when we asked about your favorite snacks during the pre-interview? We’ve prepared everything. You just need to eat and introduce them.”
Hwang PD said that and added with a grin.
“Please just fight once if you could. But don’t fight twice~”
Ah, seriously. Don’t say things like that even as a joke.
Yewon swallowed her tears inwardly.

After that, our contact became infrequent, then completely cut off. Then recently I heard news of her death, and as her only family, I came to raise Yewon.]
