Haru's Life 1 Soo-chan Lee sent a picture with KakaoTalk.

Haru's mother, Natalia, who had dyed her black hair, was wearing the clothes worn by caregivers.

I sent Kakaotalk, being careful not to be noticed by Haru.

[Jung Yun-ho: Where are you now?]

[Lee Su-chan:

He said he was in Suwon Hyo (孝) nursing hospital 6 months ago , so I sent the children there. We will contact you again soon.]

[Jung Yunho: Yes. If you find it, tell him that Haru is looking for it eagerly. And get your contact information. Oh, and never forget to tell him not to worry about Haru's father.]

[Lee Su-chan: Yes. Brother.]

I wanted to share this good news with Haru, but I managed to suppress that feeling.

An important final is just around the

corner, and I went to Suwon to find it, but I might not be able to find it, so I said,

" Hyung . busy?

Nope. It's over now."

I put my phone down and started eating the food on the table again.

"But this rice is really delicious. Is rice different?"

Yes. It is freshly polished rice. Also, try the steamed cabbage."

One day, he said he forgot, and took out steamed cabbage from the pot on the gas stove.

"Dip the cabbage in soy sauce here."

As Haru told me, the moment I drank the steamed cabbage in the seasoning soy sauce, I burst into laughter.

The sweet cabbage juice spreads in your mouth and goes well with the salty taste of the seasoned soy sauce.

"Wow, this. That's great. Cabbage alone will win today. How was it made to give cabbage such a mysterious taste?"

The day makes me laugh

"It's a secret recipe."

"By the way, who is this table for?"

Haru looks at me with bright eyes and smiles.

"It's a secret too."

I don't think you'll ever know who your most precious person is.

okay. okay. Do your best anyway."

Yes.

"Come on, we have to stop by the shop,

so let's have a drink together."

Yes.

Haru and I quickly emptied rice from then on.

After telling Haru to wash up and come out, I started washing the dishes.

After washing the dishes, I brought a set of clothes and cooking utensils for Haru.

The high-end knife set I bought for this contest looks as shiny as new, as it was treated with care.

I also brought a knife sharpener, and

prepared a few more clothes for Haru to change on the spot .

'By the way, I wish my mother would come to the finals one day...

I earnestly prayed for Lee Su-chan to visit Haru's mother.

The person Haru wants to treat is probably her mother.

I left the day with Lee Young-jin, who came to my house, and moved to Cherry Blossom's dorm.

As promised yesterday, it was to take the Cherry Blossom members as guests of ; Table of Mukbang .

9:30 in the morning.

When we arrived at Cherry Blossom's dorm, there was silence as if everyone was sleeping.

I waited for a while for the children and Assistant Manager Lee Joo-young to wake up, and checked the articles coming up in real time.

[ ; Table of Mukbang . Finals live. 5pm. Part 1 broadcast! (3 copies in total)]

[ ; Table of Mukbang ]. Final vote letter. 1577-8282]

[ ; Table of Mukbang ]. The 'briquette bulgogi' made by Haru in the quarterfinals. A collaboration product with CEO Baek Jong-suk will be sold.

End of October!] Last week's semifinal broadcast of ; Table of Mukbang had an audience rating of 11.5%.

It was an unusually high rating for an audition pro, but perhaps thanks to yesterday's scandal, ; Table of the Mukbang was dominating the real sword

rankings and articles.

"How much is the ratings going to be today?"

It was then.

profit.

The door hinges sound, and Woowoo-hee and Se-ri's room opens.

Uhyeon-hee was always the first to wake up, but today for some reason, Seri appeared for the first time rubbing her swollen eyes.

"Seriya. it's okay? Why are your eyes like that?"

Seri opens her swollen eyes with difficulty.

uh? When did you come?"

just now. But why the eyes? did you cry Because of Cha Do-hee?"

Seri shakes her head.

no. that's not it...

Woo Yeon-hee, who followed, greets and answers instead.

"It's because I ordered tteokbokki again last night. Were you caught trying to eat tteokbokki at night without us knowing?"

2 tteokbokki a day?

Is that a bit harsh?

"Do not restrain yourself. How many calories are in Tteokbokki?"

Se-ri flinched and made an excuse to Woo-hee.

"Still, yesterday was a day when you had to eat a little! Eating spicy food relieves stress!"

"So you watched it. But no matter what, I should be scolded for not sleeping until late at night and eating snacks!"

Wooyeon-hee nags and pulls Se-ri's cheeks mischievously.

Seri's cheeks stretched like glutinous rice cakes.

"Sister-I-It hurts!"

The tax collector resisted quacking, but the difference in arm length was so great that he couldn't get out of the hands of Woo-hee.

In the meantime, I took out the eye pack I had in the freezer.

"Seriya. Let the swelling go down first."

brother. Please come. I will do it.

"Is that so? here.

I handed an ice pack from the freezer to Woo-hee.

As Wooyeon-hee puts an ice pack on Seri's face, a scream is heard once again.

"Aww! Cold!"

When the taxpayer trembled and became noisy, Eun-ah and Yang Eun-bi opened the door and appeared.

"Yunho oppa. Hi~" The

contest starts at 5 pm, but we had

to arrive at the studio by 2 pm because we had a pre-interview .

Considering the time to decorate in the shop, we had to leave within the next 30 minutes.

"Everyone, wash up quickly and get ready to go. I'll buy you a packed lunch later on. Except for Seri."

There was no way to get rid of the swelling of the swollen face.

Then the tax collector puts his hands together.

"Yuno oppa. Can't I just eat half of the gimbap?"

Huh. No. go back.

"Hey, it's too much."

Seri had a sad expression on her face, but as she looked at her big eyes, she calmed down her weakened heart.

While the members were washing up, I was able to hear from Lee Joo-young the reason why the relationship between Seri and Cha Do-hee had grown apart.

ninth birthday of the day.

When Cha Do-hee saw Haru's birthday present, Tom asked for it himself.

One day, he said that he would give him something else, saying that it was a gift from a tax collector, but Cha Do-hee said that he really wanted it and said he wanted

it.

However, when Haru hesitated, Cha Do-hee pushed Haru, mentioning Haru's mother, who works as a housekeeper at her house.

Eventually, one day, out of fear that my mother would lose her job, she gave me a present from the tax collector.

"Did a sophomore in elementary school do that?"

Yes. Se-ri later found out about it and had a big fight with Do-hee. And from then on, the two of them were like enemies."

"Since that age, you've been good at Gapjil and uprising I got it."

When I found out what was going on, it was understandable that Se-ri hated Cha Do-hee so much.

I told the actions of Cha Do-hee that I saw at Ace Entertainment, and warned Lee Joo-young again.

"Hey Dohee. Please look carefully. I am not a normal kid."

Yes. Even then, Team Manager Myung-ho Myung-ho and Manager Lee also said that they would come up with measures separately."

But then, suddenly, I got a

phone call from my grandfather, the tax collector .

[Sender: Grandpa

Taxi ] 'What is Grandpa Taxi doing at this hour?'

I told Deputy Ju-Young Lee to take care of the children first.

When Assistant Manager Joo-Young Lee left the room, I was left alone to answer the phone.

-Is it Team Leader Jeong?

Yes. Grandpa."

- Team leader Jeong. I no longer have the face to see Team Leader Jung.

Yes? What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

- My brother-in-law is that guy. The day I was discharged from the rehab center was today, so I went to pick it up, but I was told that I was discharged alone at dawn. I'm going to Seoul to see my son.

"Are you Hyung-Moon Lee?"

Haru's father, Lee Hyeong-moon, had been in an alcoholism treatment facility.

But since he was discharged this morning, the three-lined grandfather and grandmother

went to meet him .

However, a few hours before the group arrived at the facility, Haru's father left the hospital alone.

He has made several moves to protect Haru, but he can't stop his biological father from coming to see him.

'How?'

What if an accident like this happened today, the finale?

But I struggled to answer in a bright voice.

no.

Thank you for stopping by so far . After being discharged from the alcoholism center, you may have missed your son. It won't be a big deal."

- It should be. Anyway, if anything happens, call me right away. Anyone I know will go to Seoul right away.

Grandma Seri's lament is heard over the phone.

Even if it had been blocked without any problems so far, the tax collector's grandfather and his wife had done a great job.

I hung up the phone after reassuring both of them.

And immediately called Youngjin Lee.

Haru's father gave instructions to be careful because he might go.

If it's Haru's dad, that trash... .

"Youngjin."

- sorry.

Nope. Because I have the same heart as you. Still, be careful and ask the on-site staff to filter out as many outside audiences as possible."

Since tickets will be distributed to 100 spectators at the site, strangers

may enter.

- Let's try.

okay. Good work, I'll be going soon, so I'll see you there.

The day I found a clue about Haru's mother.

Haru's father was coming up to Seoul.

*

The final filming site of Mukbang Table .

After leaving one day with Lee Young-jin and Cherry Blossom with Do Ran-hee and Lee Joo-young, I greeted Cho Han-il PD.

However, Cho Eung-cheon, director of TVM, who was on the other side of the studio, called me.

"Chief Jeong. Wait, let's talk."

Director Jo Eung-cheon was accompanied by producer Yoo Hyeon-ji, who directed ; The Master of Mukbang .

Yes. Director Joe."

I deliberately lowered my head with a hard expression on my face.

Director Cho Eung-cheon succumbed to the pressure of CK Group managing director Choi last time and could not stop the order to drop the day.

"You must have been very angry about the past. I'm sorry. Director Choi was so forcibly pressured that I couldn't stop it either."

"That's right, I understand, but why didn't you even get a call from me? It was even more disappointing."

Director Cho Eung-cheon coughs in vain.

"Hmmm. I'm sorry, but do you keep doing that?

At that time, PD Yoo Hyun-ji stepped in.

"Captain Jung, please understand. It's because there's a lot of things involved between Executive Director Choi and Director Cho, so I can't use my strength.

Anyway, that day, thanks to Yoo Hyun-ji PD's information, the crisis was over.

If you want to save her face, you'll have to go through this.

It

was a good thing for me to leave a debt of my heart to Director Jo Eung-cheon .

all right. But why did you call me?"

"Why? At the end of this month, if you want to start cranking in the follow-up drama of 'The Master of Mukbang', you have to negotiate the cost of the show. Huh?

Producer Yoo Hyun-ji took over the conversation.

"Chief Jung. Haven't you forgotten that you promised me to cut Typhoon's fee?

"Is it possible? I'm not

the kind of person who goes back and forth depending on the situation . But why don't we negotiate here instead of in the office?"

Director Cho Eung-cheon and Yoo Hyun-ji PEP} and nod.

"If we delay it any further, we will be in trouble, so let's just negotiate verbally here."

First of all, when asked to negotiate verbally about the appearance fee, he said yes.

"Typhoon originally cost 40 million won " The

two of them opened

their mouths even though the words were not finished .

" I tried to fix it, but it was set at 20 million won. A promise is a promise."

The two sighed briefly.

Both of them seem to know that that is enough consideration.

"Considering Typhoon's popularity, 20 million won is almost free. Spending 10 million actors for 20 million per episode... I am not pretty."

The two look happy.

But.

What I really wanted was not Lee Tae-poong's contract.

Tae-poong Lee is the supporting actor in the play.

What I really wanted was the fee for the lead role, Haru.

"By the way, how much will you pay per day?"

For a moment, the two tilted their heads.

day?

Lee Tae-poong's appearance fee is 20 million won.

No matter how popular Lee Tae-poong is

, the main character in the sequel to ; The Master of Mukbang is Haru.

So, I asked with a happy expression on my face.

"Isn't it absurd to say that Typhoon, in which the main character Haru plays a supporting role, has a lower cost than Typhoon? What's more, if you made it to the final of the 'Mukbang Table' and even win today...

At that moment, the two of them make an expression that they have suffered.

This

is because I only now know that the reason why Lee Tae-poong has been negotiating the appearance fee is to raise the daily appearance fee .

"Uh, how much are you going to call?"

I looked at the two of them sharply and said.

"It's one thing to achieve 10% viewership ratings in a row in dramas and entertainment shows. I would like you to raise the fee to 50 million won per episode!"

"Just one day, oh, oh Five thousand?"

"Well, then, 7,000 for the two of you?"

My theory is that stars should be treated like stars.

I smiled

and nodded to the two of them .

In an instant, their complexions began to turn white.
