Episode 45
Doha was listening to music so loudly through his headset today that he seemed completely unaware that Yewon had entered the studio.
Yewon tapped Doha’s arm lightly.
“!!!!!”
When Doha jumped in surprise and pulled down his headphones, Yewon smiled mischievously.
“Hehe.”
“Y-Yewon…!”
“Uncle didn’t keep his promise, right?”
“…Well.”
Doha fidgeted restlessly and quickly lifted Yewon up to sit on his lap.
“…Um. Yewon. Well. Should uncle show you how far he’s gotten with his work?”
“You’re changing the subject, uncle.”
“…”
His conscience apparently pricked, Doha couldn’t give a proper answer and just played the song he’d been working on.
The light that passed through you shattered into thousands of me
The image of myself seen through you is like spectrum
I’m split in seven shades
but nothing feels complete
Oh nothing feels complete
“…!”
As Doha’s recorded voice spread softly along with the synth-pop melody,
Yewon’s eyes filled with admiration.
“Is this the song you uncles are doing next?”
“It is, but it’s not a stage song… it’s a B-side track. One that goes on the album together.”
“I see… Then what’s the song you’ll dance to on stage?”
At Yewon’s question, Doha hesitated, unable to answer.
“That… I haven’t made it yet.”
“Because inspiration hasn’t come?”
“Huh?”
“Weon uncle said so. That for Doha uncle to write songs, inspiration has to come to our house.”
“!”
At Yewon’s words, Doha laughed out loud, which was rare for him.
Good. Just like Weon uncle said, these dad jokes actually work.
Yewon took advantage of Doha’s improved mood to subtly bring up the topic.
“But you know. If inspiration doesn’t come, couldn’t the other uncles help?”
“Huh?”
Doha’s eyes wavered for a moment.
“If uncle makes all the songs by himself, it’s hard, and you don’t have time to play with me, and you can’t sleep. You could do it together with the other uncles. Like when we all built the Lego castle today!”
“…”
At Yewon’s words, Doha seemed lost in thought and couldn’t answer.
This is the moment. Let me try to persuade him more.
“If I had made today’s Lego castle by myself, I couldn’t have done it. But because all the uncles helped together, it was completed. Uncle should build a song castle with the other uncles too.”
“…Hmm.”
Doha muttered in a troubled voice.
“All together… I wonder. Everyone would find it burdensome. Just handling their own roles is hard enough already… I don’t want to burden the members more.”
“Ehhh.”
Yewon looked up at Doha with distaste.
“Then if I ask uncle to build a Lego castle with me, does uncle feel like it’s a burden and hate it? Am I like a burden?”
“That’s absolutely not it. Yewon is absolutely never, no matter what happens, no matter what, never like a burden.”
“Then?”
“…When Yewon asks me for things, uncle is really happy and grateful.”
“Why?”
“…”
Doha couldn’t answer for a moment, then
gently stroked Yewon’s hair and said.
“Well… That’s right. Why would that be. Why does uncle like it when Yewon asks uncle for this and that.”
I’ve never been like this before…
Yewon could hear Doha muttering very quietly.
“That’s because uncle likes me.”
“…Really?”
“Yes.”
Yewon nodded.
“What if I never asked uncle for anything and never wanted anything from uncle… and never even asked for food… and never asked you to draw Schnini for me?”
“…I’ve never thought about it.”
“Think about it. You’d be really disappointed, right?”
At Yewon’s words, Doha couldn’t answer for a long, really long time, then finally nodded.
“…Probably. Yes… Like Yewon said, I’d be really disappointed. Really.”
Yewon felt drowsiness gradually washing over her at Doha’s quiet voice—
“So… the member uncles… because they like uncle… they probably want to help uncle too…”
She barely managed to say what she wanted to say and dozed off with a nod.
“Would they really…? Would they really…?”
Even as deep sleep poured over her,
she seemed to hear Doha’s hesitation beyond her dreams.

“…”
“…”
“…”
What kind of silence is this, you ask?
This would be the silence of three people: Yewon, Doha, and Eon.
Of course—
“Congratulations~ Congratulations~ Our beloved Eon who doesn’t love us~ Congratulations on coming home~!”
“…Shut up.”
Next to the three of them was one person who absolutely never kept his mouth shut. Weon was enthusiastically singing, but.
That’s right. Today was the day Eon was moving back into Sweet Home with Doha.
Yewon would have liked to tell him to come in right away, but since they had used the ‘interior design’ excuse on the broadcast, it was impossible for Eon to move in immediately.
‘…Well. Thanks to that, I was able to redecorate my bleak room, so that was good.’
The room that was clean but inconvenient for a child to use in many ways was now truly like a 7-year-old’s room.
Thanks to all the furniture being replaced with child-sized pieces, there would be no more inconvenience when opening the closet or lying on the bed.
‘…Doha uncle seemed to want to make it a princess room somehow…’
Thanks to Eon, who values aesthetics greatly, and Yewon’s ‘absolutely no princess’ stance, a room that was reasonably bright but not excessive was completed.
‘It would have been a real disaster without Eon uncle.’
Yewon could newly feel how big a role Eon played in this group.
Anyway, back to the present.
After Weon offered Eon a cake with lit candles and was coldly rejected,
he shared the cake with Yewon and said.
“Now if only Yeonho hyung moves in, it’ll be just like back then. When we lived in the lodging.”
“Seo Yeonho will absolutely never move in here.”
At Weon’s words, Eon snorted and replied.
“Why won’t Yeonho uncle move in?”
“That guy’s personality is just like that, so there’s nothing we can do.”
Eon replied with an indifferent tone.
What was wrong with Uncle Yeonho’s personality anyway? He did seem to lack some social skills, but the people here weren’t exactly…
“Hyung has to live next to his regular gym.”
“!”
…It was a reason that made sense yet didn’t make sense at all.
Yewon clicked her tongue inwardly.
Please don’t let a Quest to bring Yeonho here pop up too…
She’d have to bring the gym owner as well in a double package…
“Hey, Lee Doha.”
At Eon’s call, Lee Doha looked up with a tired expression.
These past few days.
Lee Doha had been pulling all-nighters continuously for work, accumulating fatigue.
After declaring on the broadcast that it would “come out within this year,” he had no choice but to have his feet to the fire.
Lee Doha really wanted to punch himself for saying that, but he couldn’t take back words already spoken.
Belatedly, he even felt uneasy wondering if all of this was Yewon’s scheme…
A 7-year-old having schemes? That was ridiculous.
“The reason I moved in here is to monitor whether you’re working on your album properly. Got it?”
“…Actually, there’s something I wanted to discuss about that.”
“What?”
“The song work… how about we all listen to it together. If anyone has opinions, share them… and if anyone wants to participate, they could try.”
“…?”
“?!?!!?”
At Lee Doha’s words, Eon and Weon looked at him with extremely shocked expressions.
“Who the hell are you?”
“You’re not Lee Doha, are you?!!?!”
The two shouted simultaneously.
