Episode 47

 

“….”

 

There wasn’t a single line of dialogue, but honestly, it wasn’t needed at all.

 

Yewon’s emotions were already vividly felt all the way here.

 

The mature sadness of a young child who seemed about to burst into tears at any moment, yet tried hard to hold back her tears so as not to worry the people around her.

 

The moment those small shoulders trembled slightly, all the adults standing behind the monitor held their breath.

 

‘…!’

 

Weon couldn’t close his mouth, and Eon’s arms, which had been crossed as he tried to watch coldly, were somehow tensing up even more.

 

Lee Doha even forgot to breathe.

 

Is that child really the same child I knew?

 

Yewon on the screen was a completely different person.

 

That overwhelming immersion broke through the monitor and dominated the atmosphere on set.

 

And soon.

 

Drip, drip….

 

Tears poured from Yewon’s eyes.

 

Ten seconds that felt like a minute of silence passed.

 

“Cut! Okay! Good!”

 

The director’s vigorous shout broke the silence.

 

“Wow, Lee Yewon! Okay in one take? Hey, we shouldn’t have done a rehearsal and just filmed this instead. Hey.”

 

“We did film it, Director.”

 

“Huh? Really? We filmed it? Then let’s just take that one. Why waste money filming multiple times?”

 

“Yes, yes. I think that’ll work.”

 

The director threw off his headset and smiled brightly.

 

Honestly speaking, what production team would like filming multiple takes? There was nothing more welcome than an actor who could nail it right away.

 

As for Lee Doha, as soon as the ‘okay’ sign was given, he shot out like a bullet.

 

“Good job, Yewon.”

 

Lee Doha wrapped Yewon tightly in the blanket he was holding.

 

“The weather’s cold today but the setting happens to be summer so your clothes… You’ll catch a cold. Don’t take off the blanket.”

 

Buried in Lee Doha’s worry and the blanket, Yewon poked her head out. The face of ‘Bora’ who seemed to have carried all the world’s sadness just moments ago had disappeared, and the bright face of seven-year-old ‘Yewon’ was smiling cheerfully again.

 

“Uncle! Did I do well?”

 

At that bright smile.

 

Lee Doha felt completely drained.

 

“…Yeah. You were the best.”

 

Weon, Eon, and Yeonho, who came running late, made a fuss as they surrounded Yewon.

 

“Hey! Yewon!! Hey, what was that really?!!? Shouldn’t you be going to the Cannes Film Festival right now!? Look, I got goosebumps from being so moved!”

 

“…Not bad, I guess?”

 

“Is acting really in your DNA….”

 

Yewon smiled bashfully at the members’ praise shower with their clearly different temperatures.

 

Then.

 

“Ahem.”

 

The director, very conscious of 【Glittering Baby House】’s cameras, approached Yewon.

 

“No way. Yewon, aren’t you really a genius? This is completely beyond expectations?”

 

“Hehe. Thank you!”

 

“No, I’m not just saying that, you really did well. Keep doing it like this!”

 

Following the director’s shower of praise, murmurs began to be heard among the staff as well.

 

‘Wow, she really acts well….’

 

‘I got goosebumps just watching….’

 

Yewon’s first filming was successfully completed like that.

 

Of course, there were still many scenes left—

 

“….”

 

For some reason, she felt like she would never forget this moment.

 

Yewon quietly looked up at Lee Doha, who was holding her hand and gently blowing warm breath on it.

 

‘This is… what this feeling is like.’

 

Was this how Jeyeon felt?

 

The feeling of dreaming and achieving those dreams beside someone who truly cares for you.

 

Actually, this wasn’t the first time she’d been praised for her acting.

 

No, she’d heard it so much she was sick of it. From the public, from production teams, from renowned directors, writers—even fellow actors had always praised Yewon.

 

But.

 

Now it was a completely new feeling.

 

Yewon wanted to be just a little, just a tiny bit lazy and savor this feeling for this moment only.

Production Team: Today was your first filming.

 

Production Team: This was essentially the first time you saw Yewon acting on set. How was it?

 

[Lee Doha: I felt really strange.]

 

[Lee Doha: Actually… my family has probably never seen me work.]

 

[Lee Doha: Maybe that’s why, I… had never even thought about what my family might feel.]

 

[Lee Doha: But today, watching Yewon act, I had this thought.]

 

[Lee Doha: Did they feel like this too?]

 

Lee Doha smiled a complex smile mixed with so many emotions—somehow seeming twisted and complicated.

 

[Lee Doha: …I hope they felt like this.]

 

[Lee Doha: Yeah. I think that’s what I thought. Strange, right?]

 

[Lee Doha: Throughout my entire career, I never once… thought about that.]

 

Production Team: It’s not strange at all.

 

[Lee Doha: Actually, until now I vaguely thought… I would never understand my parents’ feelings in my lifetime.]

 

[Lee Doha: I think I’m feeling it through Yewon. One by one.]

 

[Lee Doha: That’s how it was. Haha.]

 

Production Team: How was it for everyone else?

 

[Weon: Seriously. No, I’m seriously thinking whether I should buy some of our company’s stock right now.]

 

[Weon: Our baby seems like she’s going to make our company skyrocket?? What do I do about this? Really?]

 

Caption: Is Weon going to go bankrupt at this rate…?

 

[Yeonho: …Well. It was just as I expected.]

 

Caption: Huh?

 

Caption: ※Downfall detection sensor ON※

 

[Yeonho: I thought she’d do well… and well, she did well….]

 

Caption: What, he was just a typical doting parent

 

[Yeonho: But she seemed too young. I wondered if we should keep making her do this. Doesn’t this violate some law? Shouldn’t we force her to rest?]

 

Caption: He didn’t use the word love but he’s just throwing love around everywhere

 

[Eon: …Personally, I think constantly praising a kid like that, saying she did well, is not good.]

 

[Eon: At seven years old, she’s basically newborn level. Honestly, I don’t think it’s right to burden such a young child like that. She could do poorly sometimes. She’s a kid.]

 

[Eon: Damn it. Where’s Lee Doha?]

 

Caption: He didn’t use the word love but he’s just throwing love around everywhere…22

After the 【Strange Family】 filming, which lasted just over two weeks, safely ended.

 

A company dinner was organized to commemorate the end of filming.

 

Originally, the GLEET members didn’t need to attend, but somehow, due to the strong wishes of several female production staff, everyone was able to happily grill and eat meat together.

 

The spacious samgyeopsal restaurant near the filming location was already filled with grilling smoke and bustling noise.

 

“Alright! Everyone worked so hard! Although it’s a single-episode drama, our 【Strange Family】 teamwork was better than any miniseries! Cheers!”

 

“Cheers!!”

 

The sound of clinking glasses rang out loudly.

 

‘Didn’t they schedule this during lunch time because they said they don’t drink…?’

 

Yewon smiled slightly and pretended not to notice the excited adults.

 

She clinked her glass filled with cider and was busy receiving the finely cut meat that Weon fed her like a baby bird.

 

“Yewon, is it delicious? Hey, it tastes even better when Uncle cuts it for you, right?! That Lee Doha guy doesn’t have the dexterity to cut it this neatly?! Only I can do this!!”

 

“Yes. Uncle Weon is the best!”

 

Yewon responded with the social skills she had acquired from her long career in society.

 

Lee Doha seemed to find it more satisfying to feed Yewon than to eat himself, moving his chopsticks non-stop with a pleased smile.

 

…At least, until that uninvited guest appeared.

 

“Oh? Senior! What brings you all the way here!”

 

Suddenly, the director spotted someone and jumped up, bowing 90 degrees at the waist.

 

At the director’s reaction, the noisy dinner gathering place instantly fell silent.

 

“Gasp. Director…!”

 

“!”

 

Hearing the name mentioned among the staff, Yewon also hurriedly looked up in that direction.

 

There stood.

 

A middle-aged man who had entered through the entrance – with graying hair, black horn-rimmed glasses, sharp eyes, and stubbornly pursed lips that stood out.

 

However, what actually drew the most attention was his handsome appearance.

 

True to his background as an actor-turned-director, even his age couldn’t hide his good looks.

 

There was only one man in the world who looked like that.

 

‘…It’s really Director Yeon Taejung!’

 

Yewon’s mouth fell open involuntarily.

 

How on earth did he find this place…?!
