Episode 81
If he tried to avoid the videos, there were shorts; if he avoided the shorts, there were summary broadcasts from other YouTube channels.
It seemed like the entire world was desperate to show Lee Doha the scene of Yewon kissing Baek Yun’s forehead.
It was a very touching and beautiful scene, but to Doha’s eyes, it was just a scene that made the sky seem to collapse.
“….”
Doha gritted his teeth and glared at Baek Yun on the screen.
“….”
“What’s wrong with you? If you don’t want to watch, just turn it off. Why are you sitting there forcing yourself to watch it?”
Ian snatched the remote from Doha’s hand with an irritated voice and turned off the TV.
“What’s the big deal about that? Everyone’s making such a fuss. Aren’t you grown men embarrassed to act like this?”
Eon looked at Weon and Doha with disgust and clicked his tongue.
But the phone screen in Eon’s hand, who was saying such things, also had cracks in it.
Instead of scolding Eon, Doha just stared quietly at his cracked phone screen.
“What are you looking at, you little… leader. Look away.”
“Fix your screen, Ian.”
Doha got up from the sofa, running his hand through his hair as if tired.
Then he stopped Weon, who was still spinning around holding Yewon, and took Yewon into his own arms.
“That’s enough, Hanwon. Yewon is getting dizzy.”
“What, man?! Didn’t you ever go to Doremil Land or Fun Fun World when you were young?! Don’t you know I’m giving you a free ride right now? In this era of high prices, I’m saving you money and you can’t even say thank you.”
“Yeah. I never went.”
“….”
“….”
At Doha’s words, the house was instantly engulfed in cold silence.
“Huh, huh…? R-really, you n-never went…?”
“That’s right.”
At Doha’s calm answer, Weon broke out in a cold sweat.
Come to think of it.
Weon himself had lived with Doha since he was 14 and trained as a trainee, but he had never once heard Lee Doha mention going to an amusement park.
Weon, who was quite popular during his school days, had been there with classmates and had gone quite often with his family.
But how could Lee Doha, who lived abroad, took all his school exams through equivalency tests, and never stayed with his family throughout his teens, have ever been to an amusement park?
‘….’
Weon had never wanted to hit his own mouth as much as he did now.
Not only Weon, but even Yewon, who was in Doha’s arms, was breaking out in a cold sweat.
What do we do about this atmosphere…!
“Before debut, I didn’t have the luxury to think about such things. After debut, I was too busy to go.”
However, Doha himself had a calm expression.
“I’ll probably go when we film self-content later. I never really wanted to go to places like that anyway.”
Then.
“You keep ruining the mood like this, Hanwon.”
Eon, who had been silently watching the situation, kicked Weon’s butt and stood up.
“Hey, we can just go, right now.”
“!!”
Huh?
Yewon looked at Eon with bewildered eyes.
Go? Where? Where are we going?
“Doremil Land. Let’s go right now.”
“!!!!!”
At Eon’s bombshell declaration, everyone’s eyes widened.
* * *
‘What? You’re going to Doremil Land? All four of you? With Yewon?’
‘Ah, yes. CEO, we plan to be careful not to be noticed-‘
‘Oh oh. That’s great. I know you’ll be careful on your own. Take cameras and get proper self-content footage. I’ll attach our company’s content team members.’
‘….’
‘Ah, no!! We have a comeback soon so you’ll work us to death, and now you want to suck this into content too?!!? This is our kid’s first amusement park!!!’
‘That “our kid” isn’t referring to me, is it, Hanwon. You’re talking about Yewon, right?’
‘Be quiet, Lee Doha. I’m negotiating right now!’
‘Hmm. Wait a minute. Can’t we use some of the advertisement offers we’ve been getting?’
‘Th-that seems impossible, CEO. If PPL goes into amusement park self-content, we’ll probably get truck protests immediately. Time Entertainment is crazy about money, putting PPL even on the kids’ few vacations, wake up! Wake up! they’ll say…’
‘You seem to have some bite in your words, Yeongeo? Are you protesting that I don’t give you vacations?’
Damn capitalism…
Even for one child and one adult’s first amusement park visit, so many conditions were attached.
The GLEET members, unable to withstand CEO Park’s pressure, finally agreed to one self-cam and two bodyguards.
(The proposal to attach content team members was rejected when Eon said, “If you don’t want to see articles about contract termination lawsuits against Time Entertainment tomorrow, take it easy.”)
And so, at Doremil Land parking lot.
“I never thought even PD Hwang would get red-eyed and want to film us!!”
Weon got out of the car, fuming.
“Why is everyone going crazy trying to follow us just because we’re going to one amusement park?!!?!”
“It’s proof that we’re still receiving attention. Be grateful, Hanwon.”
At Yeonho’s words, the GLEET members’ gazes fixed on him.
“What? I thought Lee Doha just said that, but it was Yeonho hyung?”
“Hyung, are you crazy? What’s wrong with you, suddenly? Why are you acting nice and giving people goosebumps? The camera isn’t on yet.”
“…I just wish you’d all go die.”
Yeonho snapped irritably and slammed the car door shut.
And.
“Aren’t you cold, Yewon?”
Doha now very skillfully carried Yewon out of the car.
“No. But Uncle, can I walk by myself-”
“What are you talking about? This is a crowded place, so no. Now everyone will recognize you, Yewon, so what if someone tries to take you away because you’re pretty?”
“….”
I think most people still don’t recognize me…
Even though my recognition went up a bit this time, that’s a bit much…
“That’s right!!!!! Yewon, you might not know because you grew up in the hands of such an angelic uncle!!! But this outside world is a rough wilderness!!”
“Where exactly is the angel here?”
Hmm.
With four grown men averaging 183cm surrounding me, I think people crazy enough to kidnap me would be extremely rare.
Let’s not mention it…
Yewon glanced around at her uncles.
By the way.
‘…With these faces, these builds, these proportions… can we really get by without being noticed…?’
Objectively.
The four GLEET members were people who would hear “That’s a celebrity.”, “It’s a celebrity.”, “Celebrity!!!” even if you dropped just one of them in the middle of Gangnam street.
But putting all four of them together made it impossible not to stand out.
[▶Sub Quest Occurred! – 【Fantasy or Madness】
Amusement parks are perfect places for making memories!
But equally, if hearts don’t align, amusement parks can become ‘nightmares.’
No one knows whether today’s memory will become a ‘nightmare’ or a ‘new chapter as family’ for the four members.
So be careful. Make sure the name ‘family’ doesn’t become a new trauma for Lee Doha.
Before GLEET’s full-scale activities begin, create memories that will become Lee Doha’s ’emotional support.’
Quest Success Condition: Make today a ‘good memory’ for Lee Doha (Standard: Exceed 80/100 happiness points for today)
Quest Success Reward: Opportunity for ‘reconciliation’ with another family member, Director Yeon Taejung]
Quest Failure Penalty: Lee Doha develops ‘amusement park trauma’]
‘….’
Yewon felt utterly despaired as she looked at the Quest window that had been sparkling pressingly at her since earlier.
‘…There’s no way it’ll be easy to spend a happy day at an amusement park with such conspicuous people….’
And what’s with that score anyway? Does it even make sense that happiness can be quantified into points?
[Current Happiness Score: 0/100]
Yewon looked at the mysterious score window floating next to the Quest window.
How long will it take to accumulate 80 points!
No, before that, shouldn’t you tell me how to accumulate them…!
‘And most importantly… is that success reward really okay?’
Yewon’s expression darkened even further.
