“Did the baby just come out of the egg? The first person it sees becomes its daddy, wight?”
“So what you're saying is that it's an author's convenience that ignores genetic information?”
Gru figured it out from his tone and intuition. “Author's convenience” was a bad word. Anyway, it meant something forced and nonsensical.
Gru's eyebrows shot up.
“Then, then, can dinosauws talk too?”
“So it means the content is completely nonsensical.”
Hiss…… She'd bravely joined in, but had nothing to show for it.
“Gwu wants to wead awone. Too much backtalk.”
“Well, I suppose so. A baby might think of someone as its dad……”
Jurim continued reading without any further complaints.
The carnivorous dinosaur cared for the baby, who said it wanted to become like him, even though he was bewildered.
He saved the baby from a bad carnivorous dinosaur, ate red berries that the baby picked for him instead of meat, which was the carnivorous dinosaur's staple food, and taught it how to live.
“I have nothing left to teach you now. It's time to part.”
“No, I want to stay with Dad.”
The carnivorous dinosaur suggested a race to the mountain to the baby dinosaur, who didn't want to leave.
Where it ran with all its might because it didn't want to part, there was a couple of herbivorous dinosaurs who looked exactly like the baby dinosaur.
“Goodbye, You Look Tasty. The Tyrannosaurus ate one red berry.”
The carnivorous dinosaur watched as the baby dinosaur found its birth parents while he ate a red berry.

“……?”
In an instant, Jurim's mood plummeted even further.
“Why is the ending like this?”
He turned the page, but that was the end of the story.
“…….”
Isn't the ending of a fairy tale usually: “And they lived happily ever after”?
While Jurim furrowed his brow in confusion, Gru couldn't take her eyes off the final page.
The baby herbivorous dinosaur returning to its birth parents.
“Guild Mastew.”
“Yeah.”
“At Hyeonak, can you find people too?”
“Who do you want to find?”
Gru hesitated, and Jurim thought of people she might want to find.
“Kim Garyeong?”
Jurim thought of the actress who played a hunter in some children's program. They called her the Elementary School President…….
But in Jurim's house, she was the Kindergarten President. These days, she was Gru's number one pick, so they had bought plenty of photo cards and whatnot.
Well, it was just a celebrity—if he used his connections to pull some strings, he could probably arrange a meeting. She would like it, wouldn't she? He was just imagining who he could drag to present before Gru when Gru said:
“No, not that.”
“Then who?”
“If you ask who……”
Gru rolled her eyes. For some reason, it was hard to say.
Hesitating to Jurim, who waited quietly, Gru said.
“Gru's mommy and daddy.”
“…….”
“Can't I?”
“…….”
Tap, tap, tap. Long fingers tapped on the hardcover picture book at a uniform speed like a metronome.
After a brief silence, Jurim opened his mouth.
“Are you curious about your real mom and dad?”
“Yeah.”
It was a foolish question. Of course she would be curious.
Still, he asked to confirm. Without even knowing what kind of answer he himself was expecting.
“They might not be people from your imagination, you know?”
Gru chewed on those words and blinked.
What kind of mom and dad would they be? In Gru's imagination, her parents didn't even take human form. They were a happy sheep family.
“I dunno.”
“What?”
“I twied to imagine, but it doesn't work.”
“…….”
His family were people connected by blood. A relationship where they were together so naturally that he had even wanted to sever it.
Even with blood ties, such relationships exist.
On the other hand, what about this kid's family?
He didn't want to know the long-winded circumstances of the parents who abandoned the child, and therefore hadn't bothered to look for them.
The abandoned child seemed to long for the embrace of family, but as for them, surely…….
His father, who had nothing but money, had already transferred two buildings into Gru's name.
Saying that the child needed a house to play comfortably, he had sent pictures of the houses he owned and hounded Jurim.
He liked Gru so much that he was on the verge of handing over the company soon too.
The child who had lived in an orphanage now had so much. Awakened abilities, affectionate lovableness, overflowing money, and people who would dote on her to death.
If they found the birth parents, anyone would gladly accept the child.
“I can't do it. Finding someone whose identity is unknown isn't possible.”
As Jurim spoke, Gru pouted sullenly and nodded.
“It's fine.”
“Now then. It's late.”
“Okaaay.”
Gru squirmed down under the covers. Jurim patted the yawning child's chest.
If the birth parents took the child…….
The child would be delighted to have a mom and dad, and for Jurim, it would mean less of a troublesome burden that only caused accidents.
He wouldn't have to rush his work to leave early, his heart wouldn't drop when he ran into Gru in unexpected places, he wouldn't need to pull all-nighters looking up childcare information, and he wouldn't get into arguments in the comments on mom cafes…….
But there was no way to know what kind of people the birth parents were, right?
They might be bad people who only coveted what Gru had. They could abuse the child where Jurim couldn't see. They might be criminals. They might even be in prison.
If they had dumped the child at an orphanage, it seemed more logical that they were that kind of person.
People who were so bad and evil that they had no choice but to send the child away.
So, people there was no need to find.
After Gru fell asleep, Jurim looked at the picture book open to its final page.
There was a picture of the baby herbivorous dinosaur returning to its real mom and dad.
He closed the book with a cold face.
‘That lady…… gave me something like this to read.’
The inexplicable irritation had already spread to Harry's mom.

Tears sparkled on Wooju's long eyebrows.
A woman who had twisted her face, stained with sorrow, looked back.
At the same time, plop—a bead-like tear fell from Wooju's eye.
Large subtitles appeared below.
First broadcast on NTV in November
Clap clap clap clap!
Gru, sitting in front of the TV, gave a standing ovation.
“Wooju is so amazing! Gru's tears came out. Wanna see?”
Wooju, sitting side by side on the sofa, shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, if it's just this much……. Make sure to watch when the drama airs. I filmed a lot of even more amazing scenes. If you cry at this much, you'll completely bawl during the actual broadcast.”
“Uh-huh, I'll definitely watch. I'll catch the premiere!”
“Yeah.”
Wooju smiled, gently folding her eyes.
‘Seeing such an enthusiastic reaction, as expected, it's that, isn't it?’
The day Gru and Nayeon visited the filming set.
To the manager hyung, who was curious about who the child was, Wooju elaborated on the connection that had started from the amusement park.
Then the manager hyung said—
“She asked you to carry her? She keeps saying you're pretty? Doesn't that mean she likes you?”
