Episode 44

 

Title: But it’s amazing how well Yewon speaks in front of the camera

 

Seven-year-olds do speak well

 

But they often clam up in front of strangers lol

 

My nephew is like a corner warrior at home but suddenly goes into shy mode and clams up when he goes outside

 

I guess it’s because she’s an actress, she really is different

 

└For real, star quality must be something you’re born with

 

└She really is different from the start

 

Title: Today’s broadcast summary: Ian’s fan recruitment broadcast

 

I always thought he was picky, sensitive, and only cared about himself

 

But seeing him helpless in front of Yewon is so endearing;;

 

When she says Uncle Eon should decorate her room too!~

 

He acts annoyed but looks ready to do everything for her

 

└For real… I burst out laughing when she asked him to play 【White Tiger Exorcist Shinini】 and he played it without complaint lol

 

└The excuse that decorating the room is taking longer because he’s a perfectionist is cute too, he just wants to make Yewon happy

 

└Ian was always weak to kids, even at fan meetings his eyes turn to honey when young fans come

 

Title: Lee Doha’s PTSD from “take a beat~” is hilarious

 

Did you see his pupils shake as soon as Yewon said “take a beat~”? lol

 

That’s definitely the experience of someone who’s been through this a lot at company dinners or variety shows

 

An irresistible melody…☆

 

└The members immediately joining in is the killing point lol

 

└Their teamwork is insane only at times like this lol People who are serious about teasing Lee Doha

 

└I burst out laughing seeing him eventually sing lol Is he a singing vending machine

 

Title: But when Weon said “Because I’m the best dancer!”

 

Did you see Yewon’s expression? lol

 

(Displeased…) 【- The caption is hilarious lol</p】

Even in a kid’s eyes, Han Weon, you are…

 

Title: GLEET’s dorm life is more wholesome than expected?

 

Doha putting Yewon to bed and holing up in the studio…

 

Eon watching Shinini with Yewon…

 

It’s different from the idol dorm I imagined lol It’s just a childcare battlefield

 

└Originally when guys live together it’s chaotic, but after the kid came they’re forced into proper living

 

└What’s Yeonho doing? He’s just background

 

└└Yeonho is just playing his usual role as the athletic neighborhood wallflower

 

Title: Did you see next week’s preview?

 

It looks like the results of choosing favorite uncle are coming out

 

Lee Doha getting nervous is hilarious lol

 

Is it real that he’s scared his own niece won’t pick him

 

└Honestly Yewon is a master of push-and-pull so the results are unpredictable

 

└I’m betting on Weon, Yewon secretly likes Weon even while teasing him

 

└If it’s Eon, Lee Doha’s expression will be worth seeing lol The incarnation of jealousy descends

 

X-witter

 

[Current situation on my timeline: What is Shinini]

 

[Been playing Doha’s singing on infinite repeat… his voice is insane for real ㅠㅠ]

 

[Yewon, auntie likes Shinini too… Isn’t auntie’s bank account cute? Take it all]

 

[Watching today’s broadcast, Yewon is properly playing the role of GLEET’s glue]

 

[Yewon, auntie will really do well^^77 Watch at home after work^^]

At some hectic filming location.

 

“…”

 

A middle-aged man who appeared to be in his 50s was looking at his phone with a furrowed brow.

 

Thanks to the grueling filming schedule, the man looked exhausted and disheveled—

 

But the distinct features occasionally visible through his glasses.

 

The tall height and frame clearly visible even while sitting.

 

Showed that he must have been quite handsome in his youth.

 

The man continued reading with a face that looked somehow displeased, as if confirming something.

 

“Director!”

 

Just then, the assistant director approached and woke him from his reverie.

 

“We’re ready for the next shoot. Everything’s set up.”

 

“…Right.”

 

The assistant director was puzzled by the director’s somewhat absent-minded appearance but couldn’t say anything.

 

‘What’s this? This isn’t like the director at all.’

 

On set, a director’s presence is already absolute— but especially this director’s status was ‘legendary.’

 

Director Yeon Taejung.

 

What kind of person was he?

 

He was the CEO of film company ‘Sumbbit Film’ and one of the representative directors of South Korea’s current commercial film industry.

 

He had created two ten-million-viewer films and had never failed to break even.

 

He was also a director who had won every director’s award at domestic film festivals, someone no film industry person could afford not to know.

 

However, it was also true that no film industry person felt comfortable around him due to his characteristically blunt, quiet, and stubborn personality.

 

But there was also no one who didn’t respect him, thanks to his characteristically fastidious nature of never crossing lines and his always rational and calm tone.

 

He never made mistakes on set himself, yet when even the lowest staff member ruined a shoot by mistake, he would never get angry and calmly say it was ‘because I failed to check’— this temperament made him secretly popular among his subordinates.

 

For such a person.

 

This was the first time seeing him so unable to focus and lost in worry, so the assistant director was puzzled—

 

“Sungho. You need to properly check the actors’ blocking. What are you doing?”

 

“Ah. Sorry, Director.”

 

He snapped back to attention at the director’s tone, which had returned to normal.

 

‘I’m sure… it looked like he was watching some childcare variety show…’

 

Did I see wrong…?

 

The assistant director wondered, then proceeded to carefully explain the blocking to the child actor in front of him.

 

This child actor was a newcomer who had just debuted, but thanks to her quite pretty face and quick wit, she was lucky enough to land the role of the female lead’s younger self.

 

‘For a newcomer to get such a big role is amazing.’

 

I hope she does well.

 

The assistant director thought this as he spoke.

 

“Alright, Jeyeon. You open this door here and walk to this desk. Then you deliver your lines. Got it?”

 

“Yes!”

 

The child actor called Jeyeon answered with a bright smile.

Late at night, at Doha and Yewon’s house.

 

Yewon quietly slipped out of bed.

 

‘Uncle is probably staying up working on songs again today, right?’

 

That was right.

 

After Doha promised Yewon to ‘work during the day to get some sleep and take care of his health.’

 

He seemed to be trying to hide that he was somehow still staying up all night working on songs, but Yewon wasn’t such an easy niece.

 

‘Every time I go to the bathroom at night, light leaks out from the studio.’

 

Does one have to work without sleep like that to become that successful?

 

Yewon shook her head.

 

Actually, although Yewon had made the promise, she had deliberately not interfered with Doha and pretended not to know.

 

She was very worried about Doha’s health, but at the same time, knowing how important this work was to Doha, she couldn’t easily stop him.

 

But today?

 

‘…There’s no choice now.’

 

I had no choice but to interfere.

 

Because-

 

[【Eon Who Left Home】 – Chain Quest Activated!

 

Eon has finally returned home!

 

But this is because you offered Eon a ‘condition.’

 

If you don’t keep the ‘condition,’ Eon will leave again.

 

Hurry and fulfill the ‘condition.’

 

Quest Success: 【Glittering Baby House】 continues safely

 

Quest Failure: Popularity decline, GLEET disbandment]

 

So what exactly was this condition?

 

It was.

 

‘I want you to trust and rely on me… and work on the next album together.’

 

…That was it.

 

I thought it was such a modest wish that I immediately agreed to fulfill it.

 

‘…But after hearing the circumstances, it’s definitely not an easy condition.’

 

According to what I heard from Weon, it went like this.

 

‘Uncle Doha works on album songs together with others? No way~!? Absolutely?! He absolutely never works together. That guy Doha wouldn’t accept help from others even with a knife to his throat. He’s completely the lone wolf type who has to work alone no matter what. I once tried showing him some lyrics I wrote, but it didn’t work at all and got cut at the entrance. Wow. I’ve never felt so wronged. Really.’

 

…That’s how the answer came back.

 

‘…I had no idea Uncle Doha was such a dogmatic person when it comes to music!’

 

I thought he was a very rational and democratic person…!

 

Who knew he had such stubbornness…!

 

Anyway, for that reason.

 

Today I was planning to beg Doha to let Eon join in on the song work too.

 

‘Uncle is already in his 7th year. His thinking must have changed a lot… right?’

 

Or not?

 

Please… it should have changed at least a little…

 

Yewon prayed earnestly as she quietly opened the door to Doha’s studio and stepped inside.
