Episode 76
Ah, no.
Yewon’s eyes spun around frantically.
It wasn’t just anyone else, but GLEET.
With GLEET’s level, the copyright fees would be enormous.
And he’s telling me to take all of that…?!
Eon explained the concept of copyright transfer in a way a 7-year-old could understand.
“Why, should I give you the copyright share too? Would you like your name listed?”
“No!!!!!”
Yewon desperately refused.
No, I didn’t do anything…!!
“U-Uncle. This… I don’t think I should accept this…”
“I just gave you the easiest thing I could give among what I can offer.”
“!”
“…I don’t know how to express gratitude. I’ve never done such things.”
Eon said matter-of-factly.
Hmm.
If someone who’s 25 years old has never expressed gratitude, that seems problematic.
That seems like a huge problem.
Even in this situation, these were the only thoughts that came to Yewon’s mind.
“Saying it with words feels embarrassing. Thinking about what gift to give is also bothersome. So I’m just trying to settle it with the easiest option, so just accept it roughly.”
“…!”
“Later when you grow up, whether you go to college, study abroad, or use it as kindling somewhere, you can decide for yourself.”
Kindling, he says. That would never happen.
Yewon somehow felt like she understood Eon’s heart.
Someone who was awkward at expressing gratitude had thanked Yewon in the most practical and powerful way possible.
More than the money, his feelings touched her heart, so Yewon hugged the documents tightly and looked at Eon.
“Uncle…”
“Ah, why are you about to cry again! Don’t feel burdened. It’s too much money for me to keep all to myself anyway, so I’m sharing it.”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
Though Eon waved his hands frantically in protest, Yewon rushed over and hugged his waist.
“…Can I donate the first money that comes in?”
“Just like Lee Doha’s niece, doing exactly the same things as Lee Doha. Do whatever you want. Is it my money? It’s your money.”
“Hehe. I want to donate it in Uncle’s name.”
“That’s funny. I’m already doing plenty of donations, you know?”
“…Really…? You, Uncle…?”
“What? Are you doubting me right now? Are you saying I don’t seem like someone who would donate?”
“No…”
“You be careful. Don’t resemble Lee Doha in things like this too.”
“Yes.”
“And no money has even come in yet, so why are you making such a fuss? Tell me after the money comes in, after it comes in.”
Though Eon grumbled, he didn’t push Yewon away and awkwardly patted her small back.
Just then.
“I’m back. Where’s Yewon-”
“!!”
“!!!!”
“…!”
At Lee Doha’s sudden appearance.
All three people froze in place.
Especially, Yewon was the most frozen.
Huh, what is this?
Why do I feel this strange sensation… like I was caught cheating…?!
Yewon panicked and hurriedly separated from Eon.
“D-Lee Doha Uncle. This is-”
“…”
Wait, why am I making excuses?
Let’s act natural, naturally.
“Uncle, you’re back?”
“…Yeah… I did… come back… But… why… how…”
Yewon finally realized why she felt like she was caught cheating.
Lee Doha’s expression was exactly like someone who witnessed an affair scene – a thunderstruck expression.
No, Uncle.
We’re all the same family…
Yewon desperately avoided Lee Doha’s gaze.
* * *
‘Of course my favorite uncle is Lee Doha Uncle! Our uncle is the best.’
‘…Really?’
‘Hey, don’t be so pathetically jealous. If you’re that jealous, then you spend money too.’
‘Eon Uncle!!!’
‘…Ian… using such underhanded… cards…’
‘Stupid guy. Don’t you know capitalism? The best expression of affection is money.’
‘…Is that so…?’
‘No, Uncle! That’s really not true!!’
“…”
It was really exhausting.
Clearing up Lee Doha Uncle’s strange misunderstanding.
Anyway.
Now that everything’s cleared up, let’s move on.
Yewon let out a deep sigh in her room and lifted her head.
Actually.
There was still one window she hadn’t checked yet.
[▶Linked Sub Quest Success!
…90% of the OTube video comments for 【Glittering Baby House】 have become ‘positive comments’!
Quest Success Reward: Recognition +10 and ☆Special Kids Phone☆ provided
Current Recognition: 52]
[Your recognition has increased considerably! Recognition is quite important for actors. Let’s keep raising your recognition like this!]
It seemed like it succeeded thanks to Time Entertainment diligently reporting malicious comments.
The increase in recognition was quite a happy thing.
But with recognition around 52, I can’t really gauge what level that is.
Still, my recognition seems pretty high compared to what I thought?
[Today’s Tip! Lee Doha Uncle’s recognition is a whopping 762!]
[This is what you call the dignity of a world star! Let’s have our Yewon quickly advance to the world stage and boost that recognition!]
“…”
Never mind.
Yewon immediately changed her mind.
Right.
Uncle has fandoms all over the world… He even makes it onto the Billboard charts regularly.
Yewon let out a deep sigh.
Anyway.
‘Now I can finally find out what this special kids phone is.’
[A ☆Special Kids Phone☆ has been provided as a success reward!]
At that moment.
Along with the message window, there was a sparkle of light.
And a real ‘phone’ appeared in Yewon’s hand.
“…!”
It’s a real phone!
…However, it was a toy phone!
‘They said it was a kids phone, but it was a toy phone?!’
Yewon was flustered and tried pressing the phone here and there.
But since it was a toy, it didn’t work.
‘What? They made all this fuss just to give me a toy?’
Just as she was about to be properly disappointed.
[We’ll explain the functions of the ☆Special Kids Phone☆!]
The message window appeared once more.
[※Children need protection!※
When you need an emergency call function, hold the ☆Special Kids Phone☆ and try making a ‘call’ once.
You never know. Your very own ‘119’ might really appear.
Success Reward ☆Special Kids Phone☆: 1 phone connection with ???
※The phone will automatically disappear after the call connection!]
‘Phone connection with ???…emergency…’
She couldn’t even begin to guess what this was.
What on earth is this?
‘Since they mention protection, it seems like something that would help in a really urgent moment.’
After pondering, Yewon tucked the toy phone into her children’s bag that she always carried around.
‘…It might be useful someday.’
She’d find out when the time came.
So there are no remaining Sub Quests now?
Just as she was thinking that.
[▶Sub Quest Occurred! – 【The Correlation Between Actors and Buzz】
The viewership ratings for 【The Flowers of the Eastern Palace】 are getting higher! But young Seolhwa only appears until episode 6. Let’s draw as much attention as possible before then.
Try to get into the top 10 of trending figures before episode 6 ends!
Success Reward: Drama 【Winter Forest’s Alice】, casting offer for major supporting role Yun Seora
Failure Penalty: Drama 【Winter Forest’s Alice】, Jeyeon cast as major supporting role Yun Seora]
“…!”
Yewon’s face hardened coldly.
The role of Yun Seora in 【Winter Forest’s Alice】….
So I’m encountering it again in this life too.
Yewon stared out the window with sunken eyes.
There was no way she wouldn’t know 【Winter Forest’s Alice】. How could she not know it.
It was the work that catapulted Yewon to stardom.
However, it was also a work that embodied love and hate for Yewon.
【Winter Forest’s Alice】 was the ultimate anticipated work created by a star writer and star director meeting.
Befitting a work with enormous investment, the artistic quality was also top-notch.
The cast was filled with nothing but renowned actors.
Among them.
The role of ‘Yun Seora’ that Yewon was to take on was truly an important role.
Not someone’s ‘child role’, but a very important role that carried the drama from beginning to end.
Although the screen time itself wasn’t much, making it supporting-level, it was such an important role that it could be imprinted on viewers even more than the leads.
That’s why Yewon had desperately wanted it in her previous life too.
‘But….’
Must shadows always follow light?
This work was what made Yewon famous, but it was also the work that pushed Yewon into hell for a very long time.
