Episode 41
Yeonho narrowed his eyes and looked down at Yewon.
Normally, a child would have burst into tears or been frightened by the atmosphere of adults fighting. But Yewon was just fiddling with the script in her hands while staring at the tightly closed door.
But at that moment.
“!”
Yewon turned her head and made eye contact with Yeonho.
He was momentarily surprised but didn’t show it and accepted her gaze.
‘….’
Looking at her again, she looked exactly like Lee Doha.
Transparent brown eyes. Hair color that matched her eye color exactly. Lips that were mature yet stubborn for her age.
Everything was exactly like Lee Doha. Even that unreadable expression.
“…Aren’t you scared?”
Yeonho found himself asking that question without realizing it.
And after asking, he thought ‘oh no.’ What kind of question was that to ask a child? Of course she’d be scared.
“Nope.”
However, the answer that came back exceeded Yeonho’s imagination.
“…Why?”
I’m scared though.
I’m afraid that at this rate, Ian and Lee Doha might really fight. That they might say irreversible words and become strangers forever.
I’m afraid our team might completely fall apart. I’m still scared.
“Because Uncle Doha likes Uncle Eon.”
“!”
“Mom said that when you love someone, you fight.”
At the unexpected answer, Yeonho was flustered.
“…Lee Doha said that? That he likes Ian?”
“Nope.”
“Then how do you know?”
“You can’t see the air when you breathe here, but you’d be stupid not to know there’s air.”
“….”
Am I the stupid one?
Yeonho was strangely annoyed by the very 7-year-old explanation, but at the same time, he was strangely convinced.
“People break up even when they love each other.”
At Yeonho’s anxious question, Yewon nodded instead of answering.
“Aren’t you scared of that?”
“I’m not scared.”
“Why?”
“Because I’ll stick them back together.”
“!”
Yewon said that and hopped down from the sofa.
Then she brought over a box labeled ‘Yewon’s Treasure Box’ that was tucked away in the corner of the living room.
Inside the box were things like glue, children’s scissors, colored paper, crayons, and colored pencils.
“There’s glue here. I’ll stick them back together.”
“….”
“Should I stick you back together too, Uncle? Do you have anything torn?”
Yeonho looked at Yewon innocently holding out glue to him.
If Lee Doha resembled even half, no, even a quarter of a quarter of a quarter of this child.
No one would have ever gotten angry at Lee Doha even once, he found himself thinking.
“I don’t need glue.”
“Ohh.”
“Instead.”
Seeing Yewon looking somewhat dejected, Yeonho hastily added.
“Draw me a picture. You have colored pencils there.”
…He just said whatever he could see for now.
After saying it, it seemed ridiculous.
Asking a 7-year-old to draw a picture.
Just as regret was about to wash over him, wondering if this was right.
“What kind of picture should I draw for you?”
Yewon answered with strange excitement, so Yeonho felt he had managed to handle it somehow.
“…I don’t know. Draw me or something.”
Yeonho looked at Yewon quietly.
His feelings were really strange.
…Is this why.
All the members were changing in strange ways?
* * *
While drawing the picture as Yeonho requested.
Yewon sneakily checked the Quest window.
[Emergency Quest occurred!
The filming of 【Glittering Baby House】 has begun in earnest.
But even a house that seems perfect feels empty without family.
By any means necessary, make ‘Eon who left home’ return home!
Quest success: Recognition +10
Quest failure: 【Glittering Baby House】 cancellation]
‘…Sigh.’
This was exactly why Yewon had drawn all the aggro she could from Eon during today’s filming.
Why did this Quest window have to pop up right when filming started!
Because of this, Yewon had been dying trying to manage her expressions the whole time.
‘If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have even mentioned it.’
Yewon also knew that the reason Eon didn’t live with Doha was a very sensitive topic for Eon.
And given Doha’s personality that she had observed so far.
‘…Unless there’s some kind of trigger, Uncle doesn’t seem like someone who could ever bring up the topic first, right?’
Uncle Doha was the best uncle in the world, but….
Hmm. As a member, he seemed to be having some… problems.
She really felt sorry for Doha, but objectively speaking, that’s really how it was.
But she had no choice. The Quest window was blatantly telling her to call Eon back to the lodging.
She didn’t want to mention this on the broadcast at least….
‘I had no choice. The only thing Uncle Eon cares about is the fans’ perspective.’
If Yewon or Weon had just said ‘Come back home!’ it wouldn’t have worked at all.
It was just a bitter medicine prescription, knowing that he might listen only if she told the fans through the broadcast like this. Of course, it might get edited due to Eon’s backlash, but she had a feeling that Hwang PD would never edit it out.
‘…I hope the conversation goes well.’
Even while drawing Yeonho’s bulky muscles with colored pencils, Yewon kept glancing at the tightly closed door.
But then.
“!”
With the sound of entering the passcode, Eon came in.
“I’m sorry. I’m feeling better now. I was starving myself to look prettier for the fans, but I keep getting dizzy. I’ll manage my condition better.”
…That lie is so obvious!
Not only Yewon, but all the staff present internally shook their heads at that shameless lie.
And not long after.
“…Sorry for being late.”
Doha also returned home.
With a terribly pale face.
Weon and Yeonho looked back and forth between Lee Doha’s pale face and Ian’s far too calm expression, then immediately came to a conclusion.
‘He got wrecked.’
‘Got his soul completely thrashed… he’s done for… poor guy…’
Anyone could see that Ian had threshed Doha like a grain thresher.
“Huh? Doha, you don’t look good. Are you really okay?”
“…Ah.”
Doha momentarily pressed his forehead.
“Sorry. I suddenly have a bit of a headache…”
At Doha’s words, everyone turned to look at Ian.
‘Just how badly did he thrash the kid…!!!’
“Why are you all looking at me when Lee Doha says he’s sick?”
When Ian spoke with a bright smile.
Everyone immediately averted their gaze from Ian.
‘…We shouldn’t mess with him…’
* * *
“For now, let’s all go eat while Doha rests a bit.”
“It’s not bad enough to rest.”
“Still, rest up, man. You’ll collapse at this rate. You need stamina to get scolded too. And it’s about time we took a break. We need to eat too.”
“….”
At Hwang PD’s words, sparks instantly flared in Ian’s eyes.
However, Hwang PD just pretended not to know with a face that said ‘What? I didn’t mention a subject, so why? Feeling guilty?’
“GLEET members should also go eat with Yewon. It’s about lunchtime anyway.”
As Hwang PD and the production team went outside to eat.
“I want to eat with Uncle Ian!”
Yewon quickly shouted.
“!”
At the child’s voice that crossed the house, the members turned their heads to look at Yewon.
“…Did I hear wrong?! Not Doha or me… who? Who did you say, Yewon? Uncle must have heard wrong, right?”
Weon picked at his ear once and asked again.
“I want to eat with Uncle Ian!”
However, Yewon’s answer hadn’t changed.
‘I have no choice!!’
In this state that was one minute before complete chaos, Yewon had no choice but to intervene.
If she left things as they were, Ian would obviously fly off to London again.
‘I need to try talking with Uncle Ian somehow.’
Just the two of them.
If Doha joined in, it would just turn into a fight.
“…Oh! Right! Uncle Ian can join and we can all-”
“Just us two!”
“….”
This time, not only Weon’s but also Doha’s eyebrows rose.
“Yewon, that won’t do. We should all eat together. How can you exclude your uncles and eat with just two people.”
“Why won’t it do?”
“!”
At Doha’s words, Ian asked sarcastically.
Ian approached Yewon and picked her up, regardless of whether the members were surprised or not.
“She says she wants to eat alone with me. Why are you arguing with a kid? Is there a problem?”
“Ian.”
“What? Are you worried about leaving me alone with Yewon?”
“….”
“You don’t trust me that much? If you can’t even trust me that much, how can we work together?”
At Ian’s voice mixed with cold anger, Doha’s mouth closed again.
However, instead of speaking, Doha reached out his arms toward Ian.
It was a clear gesture asking him to give Yewon back.
“What are you doing?”
“…Yewon is scared.”
“Yewon, are you scared?”
“Nope.”
At Yewon’s answer, Doha looked at Yewon with eyes filled with strong betrayal.
Yewon desperately avoided that gaze.
Sorry, Uncle…!
But I have a feeling that if I go to you now, Uncle Ian and I will never make up…!
“…She’s my niece. Give her back quickly.”
However, Doha spoke once more in a stubborn voice, regardless of whether Yewon denied it or not.
“Your niece? Well. From the moment I live in this house, wouldn’t she become my niece too?”
“Ian.”
“I’ll take care of feeding her and come back. You guys can figure out what to stuff your faces with or whatever.”
“Hey, Ian…!”
Ian said that and left the house to get on the elevator, regardless of whether the members tried to stop him or not.
Having escaped outside the building like that, Ian.
“…But what do you want to eat?”
Realized that he knew absolutely nothing about a 7-year-old’s taste preferences.
