Episode 8
Blink blink.
“Holy shit, they look exactly the same. Wow, Lee Doha, be honest with me. She’s not your niece but your daughter, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense in front of the kid.”
Blink blink.
“No, really, it’s like you gave birth to her yourself? How else could they look so identical?”
Blink blink.
What is this about.
…It was the sound of Yewon, drained by the extroverted reaction of an extremely extroverted person, just blinking her eyes.
“She’s like a doll? Kid, are you human? Aren’t you a doll?”
A handsome man with piercings in his ears and a sharp aura poked Yewon’s cheek with his finger.
“…I’m human.”
“Wow. The doll can even talk~?”
“…”
Not knowing how to react at all, Yewon just kept her mouth shut.
Of course, Yewon knew who this young man in front of her was.
Hanwon.
GLEET’s main dancer and sub rapper…but his skills were on par with main rappers from other groups.
If Doha was the acknowledged ‘gateway member,’ Hanwon played the role of the ‘loyalty member’ within the fandom.
She could see why at a glance.
His seemingly rough and careless actions were overflowing with warmth and affection.
“Baby, what’s your name~?”
That damn ‘baby’!!!
Goosebumps rose on Yewon’s arms.
“…Lee Yewon…”
“Oh, so you’re Yewon~ Then can uncle call you baby~?”
He was already calling her that.
This person is enjoying this. He’s enjoying the fact that I really hate being called baby.
When Yewon glared at Hanwon with triangular eyes-
Thwack.
Doha flicked Hanwon on the head.
“!!”
“Ah, what the hell, Lee Doha?!”
“Don’t bother the kid. Act your age.”
“What did I bother?! I was just normally greeting our baby?!”
“Don’t you have that specific expression when you’re bothering people? That’s exactly the expression you have right now.”
“This is seriously unfair as hell. So damn unfair.”
“Don’t use crude language in front of the kid.”
“…”
As if at a loss for words when trying to speak without crude language, Hanwon shut his mouth.
…What an amazing person…
‘Still…’
The two of them seem to get along better than expected…?
Yewon tilted her head while watching the two who were bickering but seemed to get along quite well.
No matter how she looked at it, there didn’t seem to be any bad vibes between them, so why was she given such a Quest?
“I heard roughly from Yeongeo. So are you two living together now?”
At Hanwon’s question, both Yewon and Hanwon looked at Doha simultaneously.
Right. I want to know that too, Uncle.
Are we living together now?
“…What about the other members besides you?”
However, Doha wasn’t ready to answer yet and subtly changed the subject.
Hanwon looked at Doha strangely but obediently opened his mouth.
“Hyung is probably still in England. Yeonho hyung is… well, probably buried in some gym working out.”
“Do they all know?”
Though Doha omitted it, he wasn’t unaware that it was about Yewon’s story.
Hanwon glanced at Yewon and shook his head.
“Just me for now. It would be chaos if everyone knew.”
“…”
At the mention of chaos, both Doha and Yewon’s expressions darkened simultaneously.
However.
“Everyone would cause chaos trying to steal Yewon away, man.”
What Hanwon brought up was something different.
“!”
“With such a cute and adorable niece, wouldn’t they naturally want to kidnap her and make her their own niece?”
At the unexpected words, both Doha and Yewon’s expressions brightened simultaneously again.
Then Hanwon burst out laughing.
“Wow. Blood really doesn’t lie – you look exactly the same and make the same expressions. I almost died laughing for a moment?”
“Do you really want to get beaten up?”
When Doha slightly clenched his fist threateningly, Hanwon openly scoffed.
“Who’s going to beat up who. Lee Doha, who’s barely a handful, is going to beat me? Go build some muscle first.”
At that moment, Yewon, who had been puffing out her cheeks while watching, blurted out a comment.
“Uncle Hanwon is a bad person.”
“!!!”
While Hanwon seemed completely unaffected by Doha’s words, he seemed to take tremendous damage from Yewon’s words and gaped his mouth open.
“Ye, Yewon!! It’s a misunderstanding! Uncle is a good person!! And calling me uncle. I’m the same age as Uncle Doha! Call me uncle too!!”
Being demoted from uncle to mister seemed to be a huge blow in itself.
“Mister is a bad person.”
“Ugh.”
At Yewon’s continued attack, Hanwon clutched his chest as if heartbroken and despaired.
Hmph.
Whether Hanwon did that or not, Yewon coldly turned her head away.
Do you know how surprised I was earlier.
“Did Yeongeo tell you today?”
“Yeah, this morning. He suddenly called and said, ‘Hey, Hanwon. You need to do something big…’ and told me.”
“What big thing are you supposed to do.”
“He told me to play with Yewon. Said Lee Doha wouldn’t know how to play with a kid.”
“…”
Unable to deny it, Doha’s mouth clamped shut for a moment.
However.
“What do you know?”
Doha gathered his strength and asked back.
“I have three younger siblings. Two younger brothers and one youngest sister.”
“…”
“They’re all living in America now, but I changed all their diapers, fed them, and raised them all, didn’t I? At the very least, wouldn’t I know better than you, Lee Doha?”
“…”
“Right, Yewon? Uncle is right, isn’t he?”
Hanwon looked back at Yewon as if seeking agreement, but.
“Mister.”
“…Ugh.”
He only received another wound from Yewon’s still firm attitude.
Regardless of what Wooyon said, Yewon turned toward Doha.
“But why is Uncle in England?”
She had been curious about this for a while now.
Was it a business trip? An overseas schedule?
“….”
However, it seemed to be quite a difficult question to answer, as Doha and Wooyon only exchanged glances and couldn’t easily open their mouths.
What’s this? Is there some kind of situation?
“Well. Um…. Yewon. So….”
“He ran away.”
“!”
While Wooyon was stuttering and stumbling over his words, Doha beat him to it.
“Ran away…?”
Did he commit some kind of crime?
Just as Yewon’s expression was about to turn serious, Wooyon poked Doha in the ribs.
“Why is your word choice always like that? How can you call it running away?”
“It is running away.”
“Rather, avoidance! Call it avoidance, you fool!! How can you call leaving because he didn’t want to see your face running away!!”
Doha turned his head away sharply as if displeased.
Then Yewon’s expression also relaxed slightly.
Ah, avoidance.
“Why does Uncle hate looking at Uncle Doha’s face?”
“They fought.”
Wooyon answered innocently.
“Why?”
“They really~ don’t get along.”
“Why?”
“Well~ there was a very very bad person. Uncle thought we should tell everyone what bad things that bad person did. But Uncle Doha thought it should be kept secret. So Uncle’s heart hurt and he went to his own home.”
This time Yewon turned her head toward Doha.
“Why did you keep it secret??”
“…Because sometimes the truth can hurt people. It would hurt the people who… liked that bad person.”
Doha said that and let out a deep sigh.
“Hanwon, you’re teaching the kid good things. Why are you making me talk about stuff like this.”
“You, if you’re 7 years old, you pretty much know everything there is to know? Don’t underestimate 7-year-olds. Kids have intuition too, so if you carelessly hide things, you’re in big trouble. Kids are scarier. You don’t know that?”
“That’s right. You shouldn’t hide things. I know everything.”
When Wooyon and Yewon joined forces to corner Doha, he let out a bewildered laugh.
“You two are perfectly in sync.”
“I knew from the moment I first saw Yewon that we’d get along this well. Right, Yewon~?”
“….”
“Why! Why won’t you answer me!”
I don’t think our relationship is quite there yet.
Yewon left the despairing Wooyon alone and quietly approached Doha.
“Uncle Doha.”
“Yeah.”
“…Uncle, your heart hurt too, didn’t it?”
“!”
Doha’s eyes widened slightly at Yewon’s words.
“It’s not just Uncle whose heart hurt, yours hurt too.”
As if saying ‘I know everything too,’ Yewon pressed her lips together and took Doha’s hand.
She still remembered.
That first filming location where they met, how lonely he had sat there all by himself.
And she remembered that even though it was much further in the future than now, his phone wallpaper was still a group photo of GLEET.
Even though GLEET had already disbanded by then.
“…Yeah.”
Doha’s face as he answered like that was clearly smiling, yet deep sadness was rippling through it.
For some reason.
Yewon felt like she wanted to fill that face with joy instead of sadness.
So desperately that she wondered if this was what family meant.
