Episode 95

Meanwhile, in the living room of Glitt and Yewon’s house.

‘…By the way, how did a casting offer for 【This Life is All About Money】 come in?’

Could it be that the position Grandfather said he’d look into is… this…?

‘…It’s definitely not Grandfather’s taste though…?’

From Yewon’s memory, 【This Life is All About Money】, or ‘This Life Money’, was a really light romantic comedy drama you could watch casually.

It was a drama based on a web novel, originally about the villainess Do Yuna who had nothing going for her except money, went crazy over the male lead Yoon Jiwon, tormented the female lead, ruined her family, died miserably, then regressed to age 8.

After regressing, Do Yuna was disgusted by the male lead Yoon Jiwon, only cared about money, and felt guilty toward her father who was ruined because of her, so she worked hard to grow the company.

It was a drama that included every possible cliché, and when it first aired, it received attention thanks to its famous source material, but the viewership ratings hit rock bottom due to the terrible acting of the lead actress Lee Jeyeon, who played young Do Yuna, making it impossible to get immersed.

The ratings did rise after the child episodes ended and moved to the adult episodes, but they still couldn’t recover the lost buzz.

‘…The drama itself was made quite well though.’

It was just unfortunate that the lead was Lee Jeyeon…

It was a tragic case.

The refreshing post-regression part that the original fans had anticipated so much, Lee Jeyeon ruined with her screeching vocal delivery.

Plus her childish acting that completely failed to understand the character who had the intelligence of someone in their 30s in an 8-year-old’s body.

‘But for me, this is the acting I’m most confident about.’

Yewon rested her chin on her hand and stared into space. Her chubby cheeks folded up slightly.

The second life setting was practically like having a meal prepared for Yewon.

‘The problem is… how does this script come to me.’

…Should I go find the CEO again…?

While Yewon was pondering.

The uncles were having their own struggle trying not to laugh while watching Yewon like that.

The four men sat gathered around the dining table in the kitchen, busy observing Yewon who was lost in thought.

“I think it’s funniest when our baby bird thinks about something so deeply like an old person who’s lived through everything. How can she be so exactly like you!?”

Weon whispered to Doha who was next to him. Doha also chuckled softly while looking at Yewon.

Even he could see she really resembled him.

What could she be thinking about so earnestly with that little head of hers.

“Maybe she’s thinking about the Schnini she saw yesterday. She’s at the age where she’d like that kind of thing. Well… she might be thinking about wanting dolls or toys.”

“What? Come on. I’ve never seen her ask us to buy her anything like that.”

Eon, who had been quietly listening, snorted.

Toys? That kid would probably choose a drama script over 100 toys.

“…Come to think of it, we really have never seen Yewon ask us to buy her anything?!”

Weon looked back at Doha with surprised eyes.

“Lee Doha, have you ever seen Yewon ask you to buy her something?!”

“…I haven’t either.”

Thinking about it, Doha really had no memory of hearing such words from Yewon.

As he newly realized this fact, Doha’s expression became even darker.

Yewon maturing too early was definitely not the direction Doha wanted. A child should grow up like a child.

Acting childish, throwing tantrums, asking for toys, being picky with food, not listening sometimes, accidentally breaking and ruining things.

That’s what children should do.

But Yewon?

She didn’t do a single one of those things.

“…Have you guys ever seen her throw a tantrum?”

At Eon’s words, everyone shook their heads.

The only times Yewon threw tantrums were when she wanted to act in dramas or read new movie scripts.

“What about pestering us to buy something?”

“…I don’t think the words ‘please buy me’ have ever come out of Yewon’s mouth.”

“She doesn’t even eat selectively, does she.”

“Eon’s the one who’s picky with food, Yewon eats everything well.”

At Yeonho’s words, Doha answered matter-of-factly.

“Why are you dragging me into this, do you want to die?”

When Eon growled and grabbed Doha’s collar, he just laughed.

“But you don’t eat carrots. When I make curry for Yewon, she doesn’t leave a single carrot.”

“…”

When he put it that way, there was nothing to say.

Yewon really did eat whatever was given to her. Except for spicy food. Even side dishes with greens, vegetables, and carrots – Yewon ate them all. Though she seemed to dislike spinach a bit.

…Of course, Yewon was just so happy to be given three healthy meals a day that she couldn’t even think of being picky, but the uncles had no way of knowing such circumstances.

“I don’t think she’s ever disobeyed us either…?”

Weon muttered.

“Hey, she’s the most obedient one in this house. The one who’s damn disobedient is Lee Doha.”

“…Me…?”

When Eon said it definitively, Doha looked at Eon with confused eyes.

That’s… what I should be saying…?

“She’s never broken or ruined anything either!! When I was little, I broke everything I touched?! My mom always told Lee Doha that the difficulty level of raising me was extreme, that she suffered raising me.”

At Weon’s confession-like words, everyone fell into thought.

Is this child-rearing okay as it is?

“…”

“…”

It wasn’t just Doha who had such thoughts, as all four men’s expressions became serious.

“Certainly… the kid is a bit unusual.”

Even Yeonho, who was utterly indifferent to others, nodded his head.

“…This won’t do!! Let’s do something for her!!”

Finally.

Weon, who couldn’t stand it anymore, looked around at the three men and said.

“What exactly should we do.”

“A, a kids party!!”

“…?”

“Don’t make up words that don’t exist, you bastard.”

Whether Eon spoke with irritation or not, Weon seemed to have already made some kind of decision.

“Hey, Lee Doha. Do you know when Yewon’s birthday is?! Can’t we use that as an excuse to ask Yewon what she wants?!”

“…January 11th.”

At Doha’s answer, everyone deflated.

“…That was already a while ago?”

“…”

“S, still, let’s just do it!! Since we’ve never had a birthday party with us, let’s say we’re doing 7 years’ worth at once and buy all of Yewon’s birthday presents!!”

“…That’s forced.”

Yeonho said, frowning.

“Don’t say forced things and just go buy them!! You’re the rich hyung!!”

“How is it a birthday party when the birthday has passed. Just call it a party.”

“Geez, whatever!! Just throw a party for Yewon!!!!!”

When Weon whispered and breathed fire from his mouth, Eon and Doha nodded.

Whatever the pretext.

Both agreed on doing something for Yewon.

Except for one person.

“Leave me out of it.”

“!!”

Only Yeonho.

“I’ve been saying this from before, but I hate child-rearing. You guys do that kind of thing.”

“If what hyung has been doing until now isn’t child-rearing, then what is it…?”

When Weon spoke as if dumbfounded, the muscles in Yeonho’s face twitched for a moment.

However, he soon regained his composure.

“Don’t tell me to come to a party or buy gifts. You all know I don’t even celebrate my own birthday.”

“….”

“If it were work, maybe. But there’s no reason for me to do something like this.”

Since he wasn’t wrong, the three men couldn’t say anything.

Seo Yeonho was someone who refused everything like gifts or parties even on his own birthday.

The only birthday-related thing Yeonho did was host a commemorative live broadcast for his fans.

Being that kind of person, he had naturally never ‘voluntarily’ celebrated the members’ birthdays either. He would only half-heartedly go along when forced to prepare for work-related content and such.

Of course, the members were secretly hurt by his personality, but they couldn’t protest to him.

Even if they protested—

‘…Why would that hurt your feelings? Humans live their own lives independently. I’m hurt that you guys can’t accept this way of mine.’

That’s the kind of thing he would say!

“I’m going to work out. You guys discuss that… party thing among yourselves.”

“….”

Weon and Eon were very displeased with Yeonho’s uncooperative attitude, so they glared daggers at his retreating figure.

Of course, regardless of that, Yeonho left the house.

“What, is he such a precious body that he won’t cooperate with having one party? What’s he building those muscles for if he’s not going to use them for our baby Cider?”

“…Hyung doesn’t have any obligation to take care of Yewon in the first place. He’s already being considerate enough. Let’s not burden hyung any further.”

“Geez!! Really!!!”

When Weon grumbled, Lee Doha tried to dissuade him.

Then. Eon’s eyes sparkled and lit up.

“Hey.”

“…?”

“If he doesn’t like childcare, we just need to make it ‘work’ for him. Right?”

“Huh? Make it work? What do you mean… Ah!”

Weon seemed to understand what Eon meant and grinned wickedly.

The two, who had agreed for the first time in a while, smiled evilly.

“…You’re not thinking something weird, are you guys.”

Lee Doha looked at the two with anxious eyes.

“Lee Doha, you stay out of this!!!!! I’ll become our baby Cider’s true uncle!!! Muhaha!!”

“Coward out.”

“….”

Lee Doha sighed.

Since they weren’t the type to listen even if he tried to stop them, it seemed better to just lose interest.

“Then we start now. Operation Seo Yeonho Makeover!!”

Weon shouted vigorously.

* * *

Exactly one day later.

“…You want to film a non-birthday birthday party for the kid?”

Yeonho looked at Hwang PD with an incredulous expression.

What was this, like having a housewarming party without the homeowner—having a birthday party when it’s not even her birthday.

“Yeah. The kids gave me a good idea? Their hearts are so sweet. They said they felt bad for not being able to celebrate her birthday properly, so they want to make up for it all at once. It’s funny too. Anyway. To make it more realistic, we decided to have everyone secretly prepare gifts individually. So Yeonho, you prepare something too.”

“…Those damn bastards…”

“?”

Yeonho gritted his teeth, but Hwang PD just tilted his head with a confused expression, not understanding what was going on.
