Translator: PennyChapter 191 Protesting is utterly futile... The screen showed Yoon Eden being dragged to the grill, subtitles accompanying the scene. His sulky expression filled the screen in an extreme close-up. - At this point, I'm genuinely curious what media Eden watched to learn how to act like a lazy bum. - Isn't he just recreating how he acts during holidays? ㅋㅋㅋ He might be unintentionally cute as a grandson. └ Huh? Not at all. The only thing they have in common is lying around. └ What's this? Relatives showing up? The eldest and second eldest members handle the labor-intensive donggeurangttaeng (meat patties) and sanjeok (skewered meat). The third eldest and youngest members take care of the relatively easier myeongtaejeon (pollack pancakes) and yukjeon (beef pancakes). The fourth member is in charge of the seasoned vegetables. The four members diligently flipping pancakes were captured in a single frame. Yuje's dazzling display of flipping skills stood in stark contrast to Yoon Eden, who was clumsily lifting and dropping the spatula every ten seconds. - Is Yehyeon still wearing those sunglasses while making pancakes? ㅋㅋㅋ - Our hopeless trio chef Yuje has changed! - Jaehee's pancake-making skills suggest he's done this more than a couple of times. - He must have helped his mother a lot during holidays. - Meanwhile, Yoon Leader clearly hasn't done this before. Classic Filial Scoundrel Idol! [Setting up the ancestral table begins!] [Yuje: Only peel the tops of the fruits. Arrange them in odd numbers.] [Yuje: Hongdongbaekseo, Joryulisi, Eodongyukseo. Red fruits to the east, white fruits to the west. Eodongyukseo: fish to the east, meat to the west. First row: rice and soup. Second row: pancakes. Third row: vegetables. Fourth row: fruits.] The youngest member's performance was practically an automated response! "At least that kid's the most sensible one here. Is he the eldest grandson?" "I don't know. I wish Yehyeon Oppa would take off his sunglasses." "Mother, go call Hojun. We need to ask the eldest grandson if he knows how to properly set up the ancestral rites table." Eden: What's this? Who ordered chicken and pizza? Dobin: I did. After hearing what the youngest said, I figured our ancestors might want some special treats too. Eden: Wow, Dobin, your ancestors are really living it up today! -Seriously, you actually ordered chicken and pizza? ㅋㅋ -Yoon Eden's just spitting out meta-comments with every breath! ㅋㅋ The ancestral rites table was now so lavishly arranged that there was barely any room left for the chicken and pizza. The completed ancestral rites table! Hajun: Alright, let's bow to our ancestors and pray for a safe and peaceful year.Eden: If they'd added "each" here, it would have been a meta joke. The five brothers couldn't suppress their laughter even as they bowed. "Huh? Isn't that Eden? Are they doing ancestral rites on variety shows these days? But can you bow without setting up memorial tablets? Who's altar is he bowing to right now?" "I have no idea. It's so frustrating! I told Yoon Jeonga to turn it off, but she—tsk! Anyway, Hojun, you know how to set up an ancestral altar, right?" "Don't you remember? Last time you asked that, Eden said, 'In the 21st century, with the internet so accessible, why would we need to memorize that?' I agree with Eden on this one, at least." "What?" Yehyeon: This is the first time I've ever participated in a group ancestral rite.Dobin: Isn't the ancestral rites supposed to be a family gathering?Yehyeon: I mean, it's the first time we're holding rites for different ancestors separately. Usually, it's just family, so everyone shares the same ancestors.Yuje: Eldest Hyung, what are you talking about? We're brothers!Youngest Member's Meta Comment Blocked The surprise birthday party for Yuje, which took place midway through filming, was also shown in its entirety without any editing. - They filmed on Yuje's birthday! - Youngest is crying ㅠㅠ Look at his teary eyes ㅠㅠ - I think I heard them complaining that the birthday surprise parties were getting increasingly difficult ㅋㅋㅋ Eden: But why are we celebrating an idol's birthday without the idol present?Yehyeon: Apparently, it's trending these days.← Looks like him, but not quite him, yet definitely him The subtitle arrow pointed to Yuje, who wore a subtle expression. Hajun: I prepared this in case you felt left out. It's cold cucumber soup with seaweed instead of seaweed soup. Eden: It's Yuje's birthday. Why would he feel left out? ← Most frequent meta-commenter - I'll pounce on others' meta-comments like a hawk, but I won't count my own. by Yoon Eden The pre-ordered chicken and pizza were placed on the table, marking the start of the Five Reve Brothers' first proper meal together. As Yoon Eden picked up his spoon, the others naturally followed suit. Kim Dobin, who had been observing the scene with hawk-like eyes, suddenly raised his hand. Dobin: Wait a minute! Yehyeon Hyung is the eldest son who rebuilt our family, so why is Eden Hyung always the first to pick up his spoon, even here? Yuje: It's just a habit... But "even here"? That's a meta comment.Hajun: Alright, everyone, put your spoons down for a moment. Let's reset. Yehyeon Hyung can start eating first. Following Gyeon Hajun's instructions, everyone obediently set down their spoons. Seo Yehyeon, suddenly the center of attention, shook his head, still holding his spoon. Yehyeon: Wow, this is really awkward. I'm starting to respect Yoon Eden now. How has he been able to handle this kind of attention so naturally without even blinking?Eden: Meta comment. - Ugh, we have to wait another week to find out why?! ㅠㅠ - If this isn't just a persona, I seriously can't believe it. ㅋㅋㅋ The age gap between the Leader and the others is only 1-3 years. How is this kind of hierarchy even possible? -I told you to become a harmonious pseudo-family, not a patriarchal real family... Yehyeon: Alright, let's eat. All eyes turned to Eden. Eden: Why are you all staring at me, the unemployed bum? Just eat. The Eldest Member, who's going to revive our family, told us to start. Eden shrugged and took a spoonful of rice, bringing it to his mouth. Only then did the meal truly begin. "Are those jerks following proper etiquette or just making a mess of it? I heard Yoon Eden is the third son, not the eldest. Why do we have to wait for him to pick up his spoon before we can eat?" "I don't know either. They said we'll find out in a week. Yehyeon Oppa, please take off your sunglasses just once...!" Yehyeon: What's yukjeon? I can't tell the difference between yukjeon and fish jeon. As soon as Seo Yehyeon spoke those words aloud, three pairs of chopsticks simultaneously picked up slices of yukjeon and moved toward his rice bowl. [Hands of support pour in from all sides for the pillar of the family.] Yoon Eden, the only one who didn't offer Yehyeon any yukjeon and continued eating his own meal, chided him. Eden: Hey, take off your sunglasses. Everything looks black to you, so you can't even tell the difference between yukjeon and fish jeon. Why are you wearing sunglasses while eating?Yehyeon: This is my identity, like your unemployed look.Eden: What's wrong with my unemployed look being my identity?!The perpetually unemployed Eden bristled at the suggestion that his identity was his unemployed look. "Ah, Older Brother should have taken them off himself!" "Yoon Jeonga, lower your voice." As the meal finished, the dreaded dishwashing time approached. After a fierce game of rock-paper-scissors, the final loser was determined. Eldest Son: Winner!Yehyeon: Guys, should I, the pillar of this family, really have to do the dishes? The moment I start washing dishes, the family's money supply will dry up.Eden: Fuck it, let it dry up! It's all fake money anyway...! Muffled!Hajun: Eden, stop breaking the fourth wall...The third son's coup attempt was immediately suppressed by the second son. With a weary expression, Gyeon Hajun clamped his hand over Yoon Eden's mouth and dragged him to the kitchen. After dragging Kim Dobin, Eden's partner in slacking off, to the kitchen sink as well, Hajun poured Sikhye into cups with a strangely refreshed look and handed them to Seo Yehyeon and Ryu Jaehee. -I'm leaving. I can't stand seeing Hajun anymore. He reminds me of Mom, who's always stressed out during the holidays. -At least Eden and Dobin are keeping quiet and doing the dishes... Heh. Unlike our family's lazy bastards. Even the two biggest slackers finally pulled their weight, and the time for holiday games arrived. [Eden: Our show, Reve Time, adheres to broadcasting regulations.] -Eden, your smiling while shuffling those cards looks like it should be rated 19+. -Huh...? Why do I keep imagining a hammer next to you...? What's this feeling that your wrist might not survive? Due to broadcasting regulations, they played One Card instead of Go-Stop. Gyeon Hajun showcased his card shark skills, earning everyone's admiration. [Eden: If this had been Go-Stop, Jun would have cleaned us out today.] [Hajun: Are you guys just bad, or am I just good?] [Yuje: Wow, that's embarrassing. I've never been crushed this hard in One Card before, Hyung.] Eden: Wow, our Jun is so humble. - The Gyeon Hajun discrimination train is chugging along as strong as ever today. - Eden, why are you acting so proud after getting completely wiped out by Hajun? "Does that jerk even have a belt?" [The Five Reve Brothers briefly return to Reve] After taking some time to write well wishes and heartfelt messages on each other's rolling papers, the leader, Yoon Eden, was the first to reveal his. - The end of the year is already approaching. You've worked so hard as our leader this year. I haven't been able to express it properly, but I'm always grateful, and I'll keep trying my best to follow you well. Let's finish this year strong together. - It's great to see you becoming more relaxed. Keep living like this, without rushing. Happy New Year! Hyung, all your songs are great, so don't feel pressured. Keep releasing amazing music! Eden: The first one... that sounds like Jun, right? Hajun: Not me. Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Kekekeke. Was Yehyeon's message really that shocking?

Seeing you work so hard despite your initial shortcomings has taught me so much. Now that you've grown so much, you should be proud of yourself. Let's keep fighting together! You don't have to push yourself so hard. All of us know how much effort you put in. Happy New Year! Our Yehyeon Hyung is the most handsome! But Hyung, if I promise to work out really, really hard, can you let me eat until 7 PM? Yehyeon: The first one. That's definitely Hajun's. 100% Hajun.Hajun: Hey, why do you always assume ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠I wrote it just because it's a little long? I didn't even write that much! - No way, I totally thought it was Hajun ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠too. - My expression just now = Yehyeon's expression. - Yoon Eden's expression and Seo Yehyeon's expression are exactly the same, LOL. - OMG, Yoon Eden is such a character break! My internal Yoon Eden would never write more than one line like that. └ But our Eden always writes such long and thoughtful messages! Why are you saying that? Yehyeon: Ugh, since there were two casual messages, I naturally assumed the longer one was from Hajun.Hajun: I wrote in formal speech because I was worried Eden's casual tone would give him away immediately.Yehyeon: And the last one... it's like you used the well-wishing as a pretext to write what you really wanted to say, right?Yuje: Ah, I've been caught. Next, Kim Dobin revealed his rolling paper, letting out a short, sharp scream. Dobin: What is this?!📝 Translator’s Note:You may notice that certain lines or phrases in this novel appear both in their original Korean (or Hanja) form and in English translation.This is intentional — these phrases are classical idioms, divine titles, or poetic expressions that carry layered meanings.To preserve their original tone and authenticity, the raw text has been kept for reference, while the English interpretation is provided right before or after it.
