Episode 87

 

* * *

 

The next morning, at Gleet and Yewon’s house.

 

Ding!

 

[▶Sub Quest 【Fantasy or Madness】 success reward being distributed…]

 

Success reward: Another family, ‘Reconciliation Opportunity’ with Director Yeon Taejung occurs]

 

[The reward has been distributed. Please check it now!]

 

[※Reward Distribution Notice※

 

This reward must be collected ‘directly’ by you. Please meet Director Yeon Taejung and collect it directly!]

 

“?!”

 

Yewon, who woke up from the notification sound, rubbed her eyes and read the message window.

 

What?!

 

I have to meet the director myself and collect the reward?

 

Yewon furrowed her brow.

 

‘How am I supposed to meet Director Yeon Taejung?!’

 

Even though Yewon was active in the entertainment industry, opportunities to meet someone as influential as Yeon Taejung were rare.

 

Moreover.

 

‘Actually… even if Director Yeon Taejung suggested it first last time, and we could meet again under the pretext of a casting meeting.’

 

I don’t want to do that.

 

Because that would hurt Uncle.

 

‘They said they’d create an opportunity for reconciliation. But if I have to go meet the director myself, then I’m just creating the opportunity myself!’

 

Tch, forget it. I’m not going.

 

Yewon turned her head away with a “hmph” from the message window that was desperately glowing at her.

 

‘The director is the one who hurt Uncle. Even if the director begged Uncle for forgiveness first, it wouldn’t be enough, but now we have to go to him first? The order is wrong.’

 

Message window, didn’t you learn that? The common sense that the person who did wrong first should extend their hand first?

 

Yewon just glared at the innocent message window.

 

Even without Doha explaining his childhood in detail, she could roughly infer what happened.

 

Just seeing how Gleet’s other uncles would panic and not know what to do whenever Doha’s childhood or past stories came up was enough.

 

‘…Absolutely not.’

 

The person who could best understand Doha’s feelings was Yewon herself.

 

Yewon had absolutely no intention of compromising on this matter.

 

Her top priority was Doha.

 

Even more than herself.

 

Then.

 

[…Thinking!…]

 

The message window blinked with a troubled air (it was clearly an inanimate object, but Yewon could feel it. That it was truly distressed).

 

[…Adjusting difficulty for minor. Please wait!…]

 

[…Someone is negotiating…]

 

[…Someone is strongly protesting to ‘something’…

 

Protest content: Protection and consideration of minor’s pure heart]

 

[…’Something’ is angry…

 

Reason for anger: This is why I didn’t want to make contracts with kids!!!]

 

[Dramatic negotiation concluded!]

 

[You will be provided with ‘someone’s’ memories!]

 

At the same time.

 

A light so bright that she couldn’t open her eyes burst from the message window and swallowed Yewon.

 

[Today’s Tip!: Young children still need guardians.]

 

[Protecting children is a natural duty of adults.]

 

* * *

 

When she opened her eyes again.

 

“!”

 

Yewon was in some pure white room.

 

A literally pure white room that sparkled with nothing but light.

 

In the center of that room, for some reason, she could see a very familiar TV.

 

“…!”

 

As soon as Yewon noticed the TV’s presence, she felt tears welling up in her eyes.

 

How could she not recognize this?

 

“…How… is this here?”

 

Yewon sat down heavily in front of the TV in confusion.

 

Then.

 

With a crackling sound, the screen turned on.

 

And.

 

[Um, can you see me~?]

 

The person Yewon had longed for her entire life.

 

The person she eventually grew tired of missing and tried so hard to forget.

 

The person she had somehow managed to bury deep in her heart and barely pretend to ‘forget.’

 

[Yewon~ It’s Mom!]

 

It was Mother.

 

Mother on the TV screen had the face that Yewon remembered last.

 

The face she could barely remember from occasional dreams.

 

The very face she could find in her own reflection as she grew older, year by year.

 

[Yewon, do you recognize this TV? We always watched dramas together on this. We also watched shows with Uncle Doha together. Right?]

 

There was no way she couldn’t recognize it.

 

Sitting next to Mother, watching dramas on this TV.

 

When she would tell Mother ‘I want to become a cool sister who appears on TV like that later!’, Mother would lovingly say ‘I think our Yewon will become an even cooler sister. What a problem~’

 

Because it was that TV.

 

[This is my first time doing something like this, so it’s really difficult. If I had known, I should have practiced beforehand.]

 

Yewon unconsciously reached out and touched the screen.

 

She couldn’t believe it. That Mother was speaking like this.

 

[Our Yewon. I don’t think Mom can stay long… so I’ll start with what I’ve wanted to say so much all this time!]

 

[Yewon. Mom is so sorry and loves you so so much. I really love you so much!]

 

At the sight of Mother speaking with a bright smile.

 

Yewon burst into tears right there.

 

“M-Mom… Mooom…”

 

[Yewon. It might feel like Mom isn’t by your side, but Mom is always next to Yewon. Mom is always watching over our Yewon~ I hope Yewon won’t be too lonely.]

 

[And now Uncle Doha is by Yewon’s side, so Mom doesn’t know how relieved she is.]

 

Mother on the screen hadn’t aged at all and was just like the 7-year-old’s memory, so Yewon could only nod while crying without the strength to answer.

 

Then.

 

The sound of something urging could be heard from beside Mother.

 

[Okay, okay. I’ll finish quickly.]

 

Mother sighed as if she had no choice, then looked at Yewon and smiled brightly again.

 

[Yewon. Um… this is a secret, but you know Grandfather~]

 

[Actually, Mom couldn’t forgive Grandfather. But Mom regrets that a little bit now?]

 

[After Mom raised Yewon, actually I couldn’t forgive Grandfather even more.]

 

[I mean, our daughter is this pretty. This so so lovable. If it were Mom, I think I wouldn’t be able to breathe if I couldn’t see Yewon for even one day. But our dad… what was he doing like a fool all this time without looking for me and Doha. That’s what Mom thought?]

 

“!”

 

I see.

 

From Mother’s eyes as she spoke, love for Yewon was dripping down.

 

That love seemed to spread warmly even to the hand touching the screen.

 

Yewon couldn’t bring herself to take her hand off the TV.

 

[But also… now that Mom has been separated from Yewon like this, I can understand Grandfather’s feelings a little. How heartbroken he must have been too. Of course, Grandfather is still a fool.]

 

[Hmm… I’m not sure if Uncle Doha would be exactly like Mom, but I think it would be okay to give Uncle Doha a chance once, in Mom’s opinion.]

 

[Give Uncle Doha a chance, not Grandfather. A chance to forgive, I mean. Our Yewon.]

 

Yewon continued sniffling and nodded her head.

 

“Yeah… I understand, Mom…”

 

[My beloved daughter.]

 

Mom on the screen reached out her hands as if to embrace Yewon.

 

At that moment.

 

“…!”

 

Yewon could feel a warm embrace holding her tightly.

 

The one she had missed so much.

 

But could never speak of out loud-

 

[Mom watches all the dramas and shows our daughter appears in~]

 

Mother’s embrace.

 

[How is our daughter so smart and such a good actress? And who did she take after to be so kind?]

 

[Thank you for staying by Uncle Doha’s side in Mom’s place. You’re really admirable, Mom is so proud of Yewon.]

 

[I love you, my daughter. Mom will always be by your side.]

 

And so.

 

Yewon cried her heart out in her mother’s arms for the first time in a very long while.

 

Not as child actress Lee Yewon who had to mature early.

 

But as Yewon, still young, her mother’s daughter.
