Episode 48
“Wow, amazing.”
“What brings Director Yeon all the way here…?”
“Was he close with our director…?”
And the moment he confirmed that face. Lee Doha’s hand, which had been diligently flipping meat, stopped dead.
“….”
All color drained from Doha’s face. The fingertips gripping the tongs trembled slightly.
Yeon Taejung.
A master of the Korean film industry and a respected director.
And… his biological father who abandoned his family and left.
To Doha, Director Yeon Taejung meant exactly that much.
That’s why Doha had never even thought of looking for Director Yeon.
Occasionally when he saw articles about Director Yeon, grimacing was the maximum reaction Doha could show toward him.
So-
‘…I never thought I’d see him in a place like this.’
This was also the first time he’d actually faced him in person.
“I was passing by and thought of Director Park, so I stopped by. I heard you just finished filming… Everyone worked hard.”
“I first entered the film industry through our Director Yeon’s work~ He contacted me after a long time, so I told him we just finished a project. Since he was passing by, he really wanted to stop by. Hahaha. He came to boost my spirits, so everyone say hello~”
“Ah~!”
The staff all nodded as if they finally understood.
“Hey, Lee Doha.”
Eon grabbed Doha’s wrist.
“…Are you okay?”
Since all the GLEET members knew well who Doha’s biological father was, they all guessed how awkward this situation would be for Doha.
“…He’s someone I don’t know. I should greet him.”
“!”
“He’s someone I’m meeting for the first time. Is there some problem?”
At Doha’s calm words, all the GLEET members’ expressions hardened.
“Huh? Hey, still don’t push yourself too hard, man.”
“…Just greet him lightly.”
Both Weon and Yeonho added a word each, but Doha only forced a faint smile without answering.
Meanwhile, Director Yeon lightly received the staff’s greetings and came inside. His gaze naturally turned toward the table where the actors were sitting.
Precisely, toward where Doha and Yewon were.
Doha reflexively turned his body to block in front of Yewon.
It was an unconscious action that came from being dominated by the thought that he didn’t want to show her.
Just the thought of that person seeing my niece, my sister’s daughter, was too horrifying.
“Hello!”
But despite Doha’s efforts, Yewon stopped chewing meat, got down from her chair, and brightly greeted Yeon Taejung.
But from Yewon’s perspective, it was unavoidable.
‘I mean, it’s not just a senior in the entertainment industry but a super senior right in front of me, and if I completely ignore him…! Uncle will get so much gossip…!’
It would be better to greet him naturally and move on.
That was Yewon’s judgment.
If Uncle finds it difficult to greet him, then I’ll greet him instead and get through this.
“….”
“….”
Between the two people who finally faced each other, a suffocating silence flowed.
“…?”
Yeon Taejung’s gaze passed Doha and reached Yewon. Those sharp eyes softened very briefly, almost imperceptibly.
“You’re… that.”
“Yes! Hello! I’m Lee Yewon!”
Yewon bowed deeply. Yeon Taejung was silent for a moment, then spoke curtly.
“…Right. Nice to meet you. I watched the show you were on.”
“!”
【Strange Family】 just finished filming, so he wouldn’t be talking about that.
Then… he watched 【Glittering Baby House】?
Not only Yewon, but Doha, and even the GLEET members’ eyes widened like saucers.
“Wow, senior. You watch variety shows too? Hahaha. This is the first time I’ve heard this since I was born? I mean, you’re someone who has no interest in anything but dramas and movies? What wind is blowing?”
“…I heard there was a child who acts well. Just to check.”
“!”
That was Yeon Taejung’s highest form of praise. Director Park laughed heartily beside him.
“Haha, senior is giving praise. Well, well. Yewon is going to become really famous, huh? Actually, I was going to introduce her to you once. Yewon is really a genius, you know?”
“Wow. Thank you!”
Yewon politely bowed at the two directors’ praise.
They could have longer pleasantries, but if a 7-year-old did that, it would only seem strange.
Yewon quietly looked at Director Yeon.
‘…This person is my grandfather.’
It really feels strange.
Looking at him like this, really…
‘He looks exactly like Uncle.’
She wasn’t sure if he resembled her, but what was certain was that he was almost identical to Uncle Doha.
‘Well, from when Uncle Doha first debuted, there were many articles about them looking alike.’
Back then, she just thought it was a coincidence.
Yewon turned her head to look up at Doha.
…How does Uncle feel right now.
Then.
“!”
She felt Doha’s hand that she was holding tremble slightly.
‘…Uncle…’
This place is painful for him right now.
“Uncle. My throat feels scratchy.”
“!”
“Huh?”
Doha looked down at Yewon in confusion.
“My throat feels ticklish, can’t I take the medicine in the car?”
“…!”
Weon and Eon looked at Yewon with puzzled expressions, but only Doha-
“…Right. Uncle will bring it for you. Wait here with Uncle Weon for a moment.”
Nodded with a much more relaxed expression.
“Yes!”
After Doha hurriedly left the restaurant, Director Yeon Taejung followed Doha’s back with his gaze with a strange look.
Then turned his head to look at Yewon again.
“…You said your name was Yewon?”
He put away his usual sharp gaze and looked down at Yewon with careful eyes.
“Yes!”
“Yes, I’m Lee Yewon!”
“May I sit here.”
“!”
Director Yeon pointed to an empty seat at Yewon’s table and asked. That appearance was so unlike the usual Director Yeon that even Director Park, who was watching from the side, widened his eyes.
“Well, someone who never came to company dinners, what’s gotten into you? You must have really been curious about this actor, Director?”
“I should get to know good actors.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Director Yeon glanced at Yewon’s small hand resting on the dining table, then spoke again.
“So, may I sit down?”
“Oh, yes yes. Please sit here!”
It wasn’t Yewon who answered, but Weon.
True to being GLEET’s sole social coordinator, Weon smiled cheerfully and subtly took Lee Doha’s seat.
He sent Lee Doha’s jacket over to his own seat at the side table.
“Hey, Yewon! Uncle will keep grilling meat for you! What would that Lee Doha kid know about meat? Wasn’t your stomachache earlier because Lee Doha grilled the meat carelessly?!”
“Oh my. That must be it! Then Uncle Weon, please keep grilling for me!”
“Yeah!! That’s right!! I’ll grill everything for you!! Order another plate! Another plate!”
The table that had been filled with strange tension relaxed a bit thanks to Weon’s efforts.
Weon diligently grilled the meat, Yewon eagerly ate the meat Weon brought her.
Director Yeon didn’t touch any food and kept staring intently at Yewon.
“….”
At this truly strange combination of a table, Yewon was on the verge of indigestion.
No, if you have something to say, just say it outright. Staring like this without saying anything is making even the other staff look at us strangely…!!!
Thinking she could somewhat understand where Lee Doha’s difficult personality came from, Yewon desperately avoided Director Yeon’s gaze.
Then.
“…Do you want to continue acting?”
Director Yeon broke the long silence with a question.
“Yes! I want to continue.”
“Why?”
…What’s his intention in asking this much?
Yewon hesitated for a moment, then composed herself once more.
“I like acting. It’s fun too.”
“I see.”
Director Yeon lowered his eyes as if lost in thought.
Weon looked back and forth between the two, then subtly interjected.
“You watched our show, Director?”
“Ah, I did.”
Director Yeon seemed surprised that Weon would speak to him first, but replied calmly.
“How was it?! Our Yewon is incredibly cute, right!!”
“Yes. The child is clever.”
“Right! No, really, our Yewon is just. Whose niece could be this pretty and lovable and bright and kind and cute and adorable. Ah.”
“….”
Uncle Weon… please stop….
Yewon held back her desire to stop Weon.
“Since when have you been living with your uncle?”
Director Yeon asked with a somewhat complicated voice.
“…That’s….”
“It hasn’t been long.”
“!”
At the third voice, all three people looked up simultaneously.
“It hasn’t been that long since our sister left.”
The owner of the voice was.
Lee Doha, showing cold anger with an indifferent face and indifferent tone.
