Episode 39
Yewon was flustered and looked up at Eon, unable to say anything.
“There’s no way you’re 7 years old. All the 7-year-olds I know just cry, throw tantrums, and whine.”
“….”
“Why don’t you do any of those three? Is this also hereditary in your family?”
Ah.
It seems my identity wasn’t discovered.
Yewon inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
I guess I just seemed too mature.
‘Should I have whined more?’
“Uuum…. U-Uncle.”
Yewon opened her mouth like a whining 7-year-old.
And regretted it immediately within 1 second.
She had never whined in her entire life, so she had no idea how to whine properly.
“What. If you called me, then say something.”
What kids usually throw tantrums about is… asking to buy them things, right?
But Yewon didn’t want anything that typical 7-year-olds would ask for.
If there was something she wanted, it would be about 10 billion won with no tax issues and no legal problems… maybe….
But I can’t say something like that….
“Never mind. Keep that attitude going forward. I absolutely hate crying kids.”
He definitely looked like someone who would hate crying kids.
Yewon looked up at Eon with displeased eyes.
“Why do you hate them?”
“I hate whining.”
For someone who says that, he whined to Uncle Doha more than anyone else.
Could it be self-hatred?
“Then Uncle, you absolutely never whine?”
“Of course not. I’m an adult.”
“Then you don’t whine to Uncle Doha either?”
“Why would I whine to Lee Doha. I’m-”
Eon was about to spout all sorts of harsh words for a moment, but as if realizing he was in front of a child, he shut his mouth tight and took a deep breath.
“I don’t whine to anyone.”
“I see. Because Uncle is a cool uncle?”
“Right.”
“But Uncle Doha said he’s the leader. Isn’t it okay to whine to the leader?”
“….”
‘You’re the leader, aren’t you? Then whether I make weak sounds, ask you to take responsibility for me, or say whatever, you have to accept it, right?’
‘….’
‘You’re the leader so live strong. I’m not the leader so I’ll live weak and cling to you.’
Perhaps feeling guilty because this was Eon’s usual logic, Eon remained silent for a moment and stared at Yewon.
“Lee Doha said that?”
“Nope.”
“Right, there’s no way Lee Doha would tell you about our business.”
“He talks about it a lot though.”
“…What does he say.”
Eon was trying his best to act like he wasn’t curious, but….
‘Anyone can see he’s extremely curious….’
“Secret.”
“What?”
For a moment, Eon looked like he was getting angry, but Yewon quickly ran over-
“We’re starting filming!”
And stood next to Hwang PD who was announcing the start of filming.
“…!!!”
Hmm.
No matter how menacingly you look at me, it’s no use, Uncle Eon.
Yewon smiled brightly.
* * *
[Production Team: Now, before we start the mission, we have very important news to share with you.]
A tense atmosphere filled the living room.
It was a silence like right before announcing the grand prize at an awards ceremony.
…Of course, the difference was that the grand prize wasn’t a ‘year-end music award’ but ‘a 7-year-old child’s drama audition result’….
Hwang PD slowly pulled out a white envelope from his jacket.
That simple action drew all the members’ gazes to Hwang PD’s fingertips.
[Weon: Ah, Director! Please don’t drag it out and hurry up!!! I’m going to pass out at this rate, seriously!!]
[Eon: Be quiet. It’s already chaotic enough.]
[Doha: …(soul already left his body)]
Caption: Leader on the verge of hyperventilation
Caption: Drumroll drumroll drumroll
[Production Team: The results of Yewon’s drama <Strange Family> audition have arrived!]
Hwang PD opened the envelope and pulled out the paper.
A moment of silence passed, then the PD opened his mouth.
[Production Team: Congratulations! Lee Yewon, you have been finally cast as the child protagonist ‘Bora’!]
Caption: 🎉Con🎉 Lee Yewon Final Success 🎉grats🎉
Caption: Good news for Glittering House!
[Weon: Waaaaah!!!!! Amazing!!! Yewon!!!!]
At that moment, Weon kicked off from the sofa and lifted Yewon up in his arms.
[Weon: Did you see that?! Did you see?! What did I tell you! Our Yewon is a genius! The director has a good eye! Wow, I got goosebumps!]
[Eon: Seriously.]
[Yeonho: Congratulations.]
[Doha: …Haa.]
Caption: Uncle Weon almost fainting
Caption: Did you pass, Weon…?
Caption: Doha you’re like a high school senior getting college entrance exam results
Doha finally let out all the breath he’d been holding and leaned back against the backrest.
It seemed his legs gave out as soon as he heard the word ‘pass.’
While Weon spun around the living room holding Yewon, Yewon giggled from dizziness but said calmly,
[Yewon: Hehe. It’s all thanks to my uncles helping me! Uncle Weon did zombie acting for me so I wasn’t nervous at all!]
Caption: She really must be a baby angel
Subtitle: They even made that forced scenario look good ㅠㅠ
[Doha: …No, Yewon, you succeeded because you did well. Really, really congratulations, Yewon.]
[Eon: That’s true though. You guys didn’t do anything right. You were just in the way.]
[Doha, Weon: ….]
Caption: Classic tsundere congratulations
[Production Team: Now, let’s calm down the atmosphere. Yewon will now officially walk the path of a child actor. The filming set might be unfamiliar and difficult, so the uncles’ role as managers will be very important, right?]
Caption: Production team starting the buildup
Caption: I have an ominous feeling about this
[Production Team: So we’ve prepared this. <Our Yewon Has Changed> script reading mission!]
Caption: Help with the first script practice!
[Production Team: Filming will start soon, so to help Yewon not be nervous on set, the uncles will take on the supporting roles and help her practice.]
Caption: And~!
Caption: Actually, there’s one more secret mission.
Caption: ~Secret mission secretly delivered to Yewon~
[Production Team: (whispers) Actually, there’s a secret mission we’ll only tell Yewon secretly~]
[Yewon: Yes?!]
[Yewon: Secret mission?! It sounds like it’ll be cool like a 007 operation! What is it?]
Caption: 7 years old, at the age of loving secrets
Caption: The secret mission delivered only to Yewon is actually…
Caption: Choosing the <Best Partner Actor>~!
[Yewon: Gasp.]
[Yewon: …It’s so so so…]
Caption: Oh, is it perhaps too difficult?
[Yewon: It seems like it’ll be fun!!]
[Yewon: I just need to pick the uncle who acts the best and has the best chemistry, right?!]
Caption: !!!
Caption: Right, she’s at the age of loving secrets
[Yewon: Then what does the uncle who gets picked as the best actor get?]
Caption: 7-year-old who even takes care of the proceedings efficiently
Caption: The reward for the secret mission is~ right right!
Caption: Private room usage rights at the lodging!
[Yewon: Gasp. That seems like something the uncles really need….]
[Yewon: If the uncles find out about this, Yewon can be the emperor!]
Caption: 7-year-old who already knows the taste of power
Caption: How admirable (but tragic for the uncles)
Caption: Then let’s go back now
The members were each skimming through the scripts in their hands.
Doha’s expression was particularly serious.
[Doha: …Script reading. I’m a bit weak at acting though.]
Caption: The nightmare of bad acting from last time
Caption: He knows himself well
[Weon: Hey~ don’t worry, Yewon! This uncle will!! Firmly!! Lead you!! There’s nothing uncle can’t do!!]
[Eon: Isn’t it that there’s nothing you’re good at?]
[Weon: Hey!!]
Caption: GLEET is peaceful today too
[Production Team: Now, Yewon’s role is ‘Bora’, the protagonist’s daughter. The roles the uncles will share are the fake dad, and Uncle 1, 2, and 3 who are the fake dad’s suspicious minions.]
[Weon: Why do I keep getting déjà vu???]
Caption: It’s really just your imagination anyway so
[Doha: Then… I’ll play the dad role. Since the relationship is most similar.]
[Weon: I’ll play suspicious minion Uncle 1! I’m confident in supporting roles! Originally dramas are brought to life by supporting actors.]
[Eon: I want to play the fake dad though?]
Caption: But you’re too late?
Caption: Try being quicker next time
Caption: Eon, you win Fake Uncle 2!
[Yeonho: …Then I’ll do what’s left.]
Caption: Role assignment complete
Caption: Full-scale script reading begins!
[Doha (25 years old, Fake Dad): Bora. Daddy. Is. Sorry. Today. I. Tried. To. Come. Home. Early. But….]
As soon as Doha delivered his first line, silence fell over the scene.
It was perfect robotic speech, to the degree that even calling it reading a textbook would be generous.
[Weon: Pfft.]
Caption: Weon holding back laughter
Caption: On the verge of a broadcast accident
[Weon: Ah, sorry. *cough* Doha’s acting was too much like AI.]
[Doha: …I was getting into the emotion.]
[Weon: Yes yes. I’m sure you were. Now, move aside. Real acting is coming.]
[Weon (25 years old, Fake Uncle 1): Oh my~ our Bora! Alone again today? Don’t you need pocket money, huh? Should uncle give you some pocket money discipline? Huh?]
Weon created stage directions that weren’t even in the script and showed off overacting with exaggerated gestures.
Yewon burst into laughter at Weon’s comical expression.
[Yewon (Bora): Thank you, mister!]
Caption: And finally
Caption: The highlight scene!
Caption: Continuing in 1 minute!
