Episode 90

 

No, I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen him wear something like a shirt…?

 

“What, man!! This kind of thing!! It’s all about momentum, momentum!! Absolutely can’t lose, no, won’t lose! Hey!!”

 

“…Where are you going to fight? What can’t you lose, can’t lose. Shut your mouth, you.”

 

“Says Ian, you slicked your hair back with pomade as soon as you woke up this morning!! You only do that when you’re going to fight!!”

 

“Noisy.”

 

While Eon and Weon were bickering, Yewon’s gaze turned to Yeonho.

 

No, why is that uncle wearing such a tight-fitting knit that shows all his muscles…? Showing off muscles… is that what this is…?

 

Yewon had a lot to say but held it in.

 

Because.

 

‘…Uncle Doha, this is the first time I’ve seen him look so pale.’

 

Lee Doha’s hand, which was tightly gripping Yewon’s hand, was trembling slightly.

 

Just then.

 

“!”

 

The door opened, and a tall middle-aged man entered.

 

“Hello, Director.”

 

“Good day to you!”

 

Everyone stood up and greeted Director Yeon Taejung as he appeared. Yewon also bowed to him with a trembling heart.

 

“Ah, yes. You’re all familiar faces.”

 

Director Yeon Taejung looked for Lee Doha first with trembling eyes.

 

The moment their eyes met.

 

‘…!’

 

Yewon witnessed tears welling up in Director Yeon Taejung’s eyes.

 

Last time they met as Director Yeon Taejung and Lee Doha of GLEET.

 

But this meeting was between father and son, so the emotions seemed completely different.

 

Lee Doha seemed to feel the same way, as he just stared at Director Yeon Taejung stiffly without saying anything.

 

With the silence between the two, no one else could open their mouth.

 

“…Director?”

 

“!”

 

Yewon was the first to break the silence.

 

“Director, are you our grandfather?”

 

Taejung couldn’t even answer Yewon’s question and stood there as if nailed to the spot.

 

The faces of Lee Doha and Yewon, who clearly resembled him, made him open his mouth.

 

“…Yes, yes. I am… your grandfather, Yewon.”

 

Taejung said the words he had wanted to say so much all this time with a trembling voice.

 

But then.

 

“Grandfather is a bad person.”

 

“!!!”

 

At Yewon’s words, not only Lee Doha but everyone present was shocked speechless.

 

How many people in our country would have the guts to bluntly call the great Director Yeon Taejung a ‘bad person’?

 

No, more than that…

 

‘The words everyone secretly thought but could never say!!’

 

While the same thought was occurring to the adults.

 

Weon really pressed down hard on the corners of his mouth that kept wanting to grin.

 

‘Ah!!! As expected, our baby is so refreshing!!!!’

 

Ah. Really, our baby is refreshing in all directions.

 

You guys, this is your first time seeing our baby’s refreshing side, right?! You always thought our baby was just a baby bird?!

 

Weon held back his urge to shout ‘I knew first!!’ to the members who were getting a proper taste of baby’s refreshing side.

 

But.

 

Yewon’s words weren’t finished yet.

 

“Why didn’t you say ‘Hello, Yewon. I’m your grandfather.’ and ‘Hello, Lee Doha, I’m your father.’ when we met last time? Pretending not to know is bad.”

 

“…!”

 

At Yewon’s raised eyebrows, Taejung panicked but quickly shook his head.

 

“I’m, I’m sorry. Grandfather didn’t try to pretend not to know on purpose. Grandfather actually really wanted to acknowledge you. I wanted to do that… but I was worried it would trouble Yewon and… Yewon’s uncle. I was worried about that so I couldn’t. I’m really sorry.”

 

Director Yeon Taejung’s expression as he said this was truly that of someone who didn’t know what to do because he was genuinely sorry to the child.

 

At this unexpected sight of him flustered by Yewon’s single remark, surprise spread across everyone’s faces.

 

Was he originally… that kind of person?

 

The Director Yeon Taejung they had seen in the media was a very serious yet authoritative person.

 

Someone who steadfastly walked his own path, upright to the point of being somewhat stubborn.

 

That was the image of Director Yeon Taejung that the public had seen, and the Taejung that GLEET and Lee Doha knew.

 

That’s why everyone thought Director Yeon Taejung was very difficult and at the same time saw him as somewhat ‘annoying.’

 

Because it seemed like he was acting all high and mighty by himself while turning his back on his children.

 

However.

 

“Still, grandfather is the most grown-up, so it’s bad to do that. Mom must have been really sad that grandfather didn’t come looking for mom.”

 

“I see… I’m, I’m sorry. Grandfather is really sorry… Grandfather… really wanted to come… It’s just…”

 

Taejung’s current appearance was just that of a clumsy and awkward adult who couldn’t make a single excuse while being scolded by his articulate granddaughter.

 

At that sight, Lee Doha felt his tension release with a snap.

 

Ridiculously so…

 

Because he resembled himself when he was first scolded by Yewon,

 

* * *

 

And so the awkward meal time began.

 

“…”

 

Director Yeon Taejung kept wanting to do something for Yewon, but not knowing how, he just kept watching for cues.

 

“Yewon, ah.”

 

“Ah-”

 

Lee Doha pretended not to notice Taejung and diligently fed Yewon food.

 

Usually, worried that the child’s habits might become bad, he would only put food on her plate, but today he ‘strangely’ kept wanting to put something in Yewon’s mouth in front of Taejung.

 

Look. You can’t do this, but I can.

 

At this strange sense of superiority, Lee Doha found himself tormented yet unable to stop his actions.

 

And Yewon, as if understanding Lee Doha’s heart, opened her mouth like a baby bird and ate well as he fed her.

 

‘…Uncle Doha is being childish too…! It wasn’t the time to call Uncle Weon and Uncle Eon childish!’

 

Actually.

 

Yewon had already noticed Lee Doha’s childish jealousy-inducing(?) strategy.

 

After all, Yewon herself was the mastermind who had orchestrated this whole situation!

 

“Grandfather is a bad person.”

 

Why would Yewon suddenly say such a thing?

 

Fourteen-year-old Yewon wasn’t someone who could speak rudely to an elder much older than herself.

 

However.

 

‘…If I don’t get revenge on uncle’s behalf, this emotional rift will never be resolved!’

 

From living with Lee Doha and observing him, Yewon had learned.

 

That there were few people as thoroughly avoidant as Lee Doha.

 

‘…The GLEET uncles have complained to me so much about how much they’ve suffered… I roughly learned that Uncle Doha is absolutely not someone who talks about his true feelings first…’

 

Nod.

 

Yewon quietly nodded to herself.

 

Lee Doha would absolutely never be the first to express resentment to Taejung. No, he wouldn’t say anything heartfelt at all in the first place.

 

He would just try to get through this situation with his mouth tightly shut.

 

But!

 

‘That’s not what mom wants.’

 

Mom had asked her to create an opportunity for uncle to forgive grandfather.

 

Mom had asked me to create an opportunity for uncle to forgive grandfather.

 

Then there was no way forgiveness would come from just keeping her mouth shut.

 

Yewon’s philosophy was that forgiveness could only maybe happen after the person who caused hurt groveled desperately to the person they had wounded.

 

‘But. Still….’

 

Yewon recalled her first meeting with Director Yeon Taejung several times over, then came to a conclusion.

 

‘…Uncle’s avoidant genes… came from Grandfather…!’

 

Based on what she could infer from Mother’s stories, it seemed like Grandfather definitely had some unavoidable circumstances too.

 

The reason he hadn’t approached first to ask for forgiveness until now was surely partly due to his circumstances, but also because Director Yeon had avoidant genes.

 

So what was Yewon’s role?

 

‘First, an apology… absolutely has to come out of Grandfather’s mouth!’

 

And so what she came up with was.

 

‘Strike first to win.’

 

…That was it….

 

She had to strike first as soon as they met, to make that stubborn avoidant Grandfather be the first to say ‘I’m sorry.’

 

And.

 

Yewon knew very well that only a Pure Evil Child could deliver such a first strike.

 

So she pretended not to know, and this Pure Evil delivered the first strike on Doha’s behalf.

 

‘Hey!! Yewon!! You get it?! Originally the bad male lead has to suffer a bit!! He has to suffer!! That’s how this heart gets relieved!! The readers… no, the viewers also get some satisfaction!!’

 

‘…????’

 

‘Look over there!! You see that male lead over there?! That’s what you call a regretful male lead, you fool!!! That bastard now has to regret like crazy and suffer!! That’s how, uh. That female lead’s heart gets relieved! Even if this stems from a misunderstanding, anyway that’s how it is!! This bastard! If he made our good female lead’s heart hurt, he should roll left and roll right! Kek!’

 

‘…How does Uncle know all that stuff…?’

 

‘The fans taught me!!’

 

‘….’

 

…And so, Yewon had received advice from Weon, who had been watching morning dramas with her.

 

She was faithfully carrying out the operation.

 

Right.

 

So Grandfather, sorry but please suffer a little.

 

With the feeling that he probably needed to do some karmic cleansing anyway…
