Chapter 57 ends.

Now that everyone has gathered, Yue Gang's father announced that it was time to start eating.

While drinking seaweed soup, Hyo-ri asked her nephew across from her, "Yeong-seok, why is your hair like that?"

Yeong-seok looked at Hyo-ri with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she was asking.

Lee Shin-haeng interjected, "Your aunt is asking why your hairstyle is like that."

"Isn't it like Lego? Lego," Hyo-ri said with a mischievous smile.

"What do you mean by Lego?" Yeong-seok still didn't get it and asked with a blank look.

"Isn't your hair square-shaped?" Hyo-ri couldn't help but laugh as she gestured.

Yeong-seok touched his hair, "It's not square-shaped... Where is it square-shaped?"

Yue Gang's mother interrupted Hyo-ri's playful teasing, "It's not square-shaped. Your aunt is joking with you. Hyo-ri, turn off the camera and start eating." She gestured to the camera.

Hyo-ri glanced at the VJ and said coolly, "Turn it off."

The VJ, struck by the queen's authoritative tone, obediently turned off the camera, put it aside, and started eating obediently.

Lee Shin-haeng didn't chat much with the others; he just played some childish games with Chan-jin but occasionally put some dishes on Hyo-ri's plate.

After dinner, they turned the camera back on.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Yue Gang's father said, "Since everyone is done, let's go back." He got up and walked out first.

After saying a few words to Lee Shin-haeng, Hyo-ri didn't go home with the group but took a nanny car to the subway station near her house.

"Because I've been so busy these days, I haven't bought anything, so I can only withdraw some money to give to my parents as a token of gratitude," Hyo-ri said in the car.

The subway station was very close, and they arrived soon. As she walked, Hyo-ri said, "When I was in school, I used to take the subway here every day. Indeed, this station is still empty, whether in the past or now."

At the ATM, Hyo-ri inserted her card and entered the PIN, "My parents don't like me buying gifts for them, so I always give them money. They can buy whatever they want."

"How much should I give? I need to think..." After withdrawing money several times, she got confused and couldn't tell them apart. "It's all mixed up. I need to split it in half." After withdrawing the money, she returned to the car and counted it with Xiao-xie. After counting, they put the money in two white envelopes.

"This looks like a smuggling gang's transaction..." Hyo-ri said as she took another envelope from Xiao-xie. "I'm leaving." She quickly walked home with the money.

As she walked into the house, Hyo-ri tucked the two envelopes into the back of her pants, but unfortunately, they fell out as she hurried inside. She quickly squatted down to pick up the scattered money. "Where did it fall from? Oh no, I don't know where it fell from." Hyo-ri checked the envelopes, "Ah... so annoying... I just counted it, and now I have to count it again..." After picking up the money, she went into the bathroom next to the entrance, sat on the toilet, and started counting the money again.

While Lee Shin-haeng was chatting with his sister-in-law about food supplements, Hyo-ri came in.

"Hyo-ri~ You look prettier than before," her brother-in-law said.

Hyo-ri put her hand on her brother-in-law's shoulder and replied with a smile, "What? What do you mean by prettier?"

The brother-in-law's random compliment made a few people laugh because it was too polite.

Hyo-ri walked around the kitchen and then went to the living room where her father-in-law was. She took out an envelope and handed it to him with both hands, "Father-in-law, I didn't buy anything. I've been busy with the album release."

Her father-in-law took it, "Oh... thank you. Take care of yourself when you're busy."

"Okay..." Then they didn't say anything else.

As Hyo-ri turned to walk to the kitchen, she said to the camera, "Hehe... Fathers and children are always this stiff, right?"

She walked to her mother-in-law and handed her the envelope with both hands.

Her mother-in-law smiled, "For me?" She took the envelope and hugged her youngest daughter.

Her sister-in-law also chimed in, "What about me?"

"Ah~ I'll give you something later," Hyo-ri said, speechless.

"It's good to see you often. Otherwise, we wouldn't see you at all," her mother-in-law said, hugging Hyo-ri.

Hyo-ri teased, "Mother-in-law can watch TV. I'm always on TV."

"Hey! Do I have to look for my own daughter on TV?" her mother-in-law scolded with a smile.

Her sister-in-law said, "Mother-in-law can go to the sister's house~"

"Okay, next time I'll bring some homemade kimchi," her mother-in-law agreed.

Hyo-ri checked the time; it was past ten, and she had to be busy the next day, "Mother-in-law, I have to record tomorrow, so I won't stay long."

The family followed Hyo-ri to the door.

Hyo-ri pulled her father-in-law's hand, "Father-in-law, I'm leaving."

Her sister-in-law interjected, "Why so stiff? It's not like you only see your parents once a year. Father-in-law, come to the sister's house for your birthday!"

"May 10th in the lunar calendar, forty days from now," her father-in-law immediately replied.

"Okay! I'll cook for you then. I'll have my brother pick you up. I'll leave now." She said goodbye to her parents and got into the nanny car.

"Ah... You just came and are leaving so soon. You don't spend much time at home to take care of your parents... Luckily, my brother often comes to take care of them for you..." Hyo-ri wiped away the tears that had fallen.

Hyo-ri was a bit down and didn't say much on the way.

When they were still a short distance from the villa complex, Hyo-ri got out of the car and walked by the roadside, giving a brief farewell to the show.

"Today is the last shooting for OffTheRec... There were times when I was tired... because there were cameras at home and even when I went out... But now it's time to say goodbye... I also have feelings of reluctance and regret... At the beginning, I wondered what the real life of Lee Hyo-ri would be like... I was a bit worried that I didn't show anything special... But this is the real me, my original life... Even though I have to say goodbye to the show... I have lived as I always do, waking up in the morning, brushing my teeth, having breakfast with my brother, playing with the cat, going to work, joking with my manager and stylist... working with heart... coming home and having dinner with my brother... just like an ordinary person... I will continue to live with heart... So, goodbye~" Hyo-ri waved to the camera and then ran to Lee Shin-haeng waiting for her at the intersection, holding hands and going home together.

The three-month shooting finally came to an end.

When they got home, Lee Shin-haeng suddenly remembered the gift from the production team and said, "Hyo-ri~ When the production team came to remove the cameras today, they also gave a gift. It looks like a painting."

"Painting? I'll go see." She quickly walked into the living room.

By the time Lee Shin-haeng closed the door and changed his shoes, Hyo-ri had already taken off the white paper wrapping the frame. The painting was divided into four sections, each showing a different aspect of Hyo-ri's face with different colors.

"Wow... wow... so cool..." Hyo-ri said, looking at the painting.

Lee Shin-haeng walked over and picked up a piece of paper attached to the frame, read it, and said, "Top left, set according to the typical heartthrob image—abandoned her, a beautiful appearance and a perfect assumption like a forced requirement, using the three faces of an entertainer."

Hyo-ri, after listening, pointed to the top left painting, "Ah... so that's why it uses such bright colors... it looks very shiny..."

"Top right, her own fragmentation into self-perception confusion, tinged with a sense of melancholy and loss..." Lee Shin-haeng continued reading.

"Um... the dark colors match... you can see the character is a bit melancholic and sad..."
