Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 427

-Park Eiden: Wow!

-Park Eiden: The practice went really well!

-Park Eiden: (video)

Seo-jun smiled at the message he received from Park Eiden.

Two days ago, on Sunday.

After finishing the pre-recording of SBC Popular Music, Bluemoon, who had been in a daze all day, turned the car around from the dormitory and headed to the practice room. 

As soon as they arrived at the company, they started practicing as if they didn’t want to lose the feeling they had on stage.

Seo-jun also spent about two hours with Bluemoon and then returned home.

Bluemoon seemed to be stuck in the practice room ever since. It was also thanks to the fact that their comeback was moved up and they had no other schedules.

Of course, there was some gap without the conductor Seo-jun, but he thought that if they overcame it, their skills would improve again.

Ding-dong-ding-dong.

Seo-jun, who was leaning on the sofa and texting back to Park Eiden, looked up at the sound of the door lock and looked towards the entrance.

The door opened and Choi Si-yoon, the youngest member of Brown Black, appeared with a box in his hand.

“Si-yoon hyung, you’re here?”

“Seo-jun-ah. You were here already?”

Choi Si-yoon paused for a moment as he entered.

Seo-jun’s blue hair looked unfamiliar but suited him well, so his eyes were drawn to it. He had seen it in photos, Bluemoon’s music video, and music show stages, but it felt a little different to see it in person.

“I saw it in photos, but it feels a bit different in real life.”

“Haha. Really?”

“Yeah. It suits you well.”

Seo-jun smiled brightly at Choi Si-yoon’s words. Choi Si-yoon looked around for the landlord.

“Where is Seo-jin hyung?”

“Seo-jin hyung went to get some groceries.”

“Really? Should I have come earlier? I brought a lot of food.”

Choi Si-yoon smiled and carried the box to the kitchen. Seo-jun followed him closely.

There were snacks and food ingredients that suited the tastes of the four members and Seo-jun in the box that he placed on the table.

“Seo-jin hyung just went to get some soy sauce and sugar, so he’ll be back soon. Kevin hyung and Ye-jun hyung will be here soon too.”

“Really? Then let’s tidy this up before they come. There are some things that need to be refrigerated.”

“Okay.”

Seo-jun and Choi Si-yoon comfortably sorted out the food ingredients in the refrigerator and gathered the snacks in one place.

Ding-dong-ding-dong.

As they were tidying up, they heard the door lock sound again. 

The entrance became noisy as the door opened. Seo-jun and Choi Si-yoon couldn’t help but laugh.

“I was both here already! I thought I was the first one to come!”

“Wow. It’s so hot outside. I thought it would be cooler next week since it’s September… Oh! You’re both fine?”

Hwang Ye-jun smiled brightly and spoke, while Kevin Kim fanned his clothes with heat. They both had food in their hands too.

“I met them in front of here. Why do they talk so much in such a short time…”

Park Seo-jin shook his head as if he was out of his mind, holding a bag with condiments in it.

At their innocent faces as if they hadn’t done anything, Seo-jun and Choi Si-yoon chuckled.

Brown Black and Seo-jun gathered together in the living room where cool air conditioner wind came out.

It was too early for dinner, so they decided to fill their stomachs a little with fruits or snacks. Brown Black and Seo-jun shared stories that they couldn’t tell enough by phone or text.

“Seo-jun, are you going to take pictures tomorrow?”

Seo-jun nodded at Kevin Kim’s question as he bit into a peach. 

The juice from the ripe peach filled his mouth.

“I’m going to take them at the same place where I took my profile pictures. Noeul Studio.”

“I heard they have a lot of reservations there.”

Hwang Ye-jun said as he ate a grape.

“They were supposed to be closed tomorrow, but the photographer gave me some time.”

Noeul Studio became famous for Seo-jun’s name, so they welcomed Seo-jun’s shooting inquiry with open arms. 

So he decided to go take pictures there tomorrow, which was Wednesday.

“It’s a photobook of your childhood acting days, right? You’re also putting in pictures from 48 hours?”

Park Seo-jin asked.

“I got feedback and edited the script, so just read it comfortably and tell me. Hyung.”

“Isn’t it better to ask the actors for this kind of thing?”

Seo-jun smiled and replied to Choi Si-yoon, who scratched his cheek and said.

“I’ve already shown them all. It’s a script that I modified after getting feedback, so just read it and tell me. Hyung.”

“Okay. I got it.”

They all started to read the script while eating snacks and fruits.

***

The living room table was full of delicious-looking food. 

It was the result of Seo-jun and Choi Si Yoon, who were good at cooking, rolling up their sleeves and the three members helping them diligently.

Seo-jun and Brown Black sat down and exchanged stories while moving their spoons busily. 

The main menu, Korean beef, and various side dishes were quickly disappearing.

“I thought it would be nice to see it as a play when I saw the script.”

“It seems like a unique topic.”

Seo-jun smiled brightly at Brown Black’s impressions, picking up a piece of well-cooked meat.

“I’m glad. I was worried it might be weird!”

“Huh? What did the actors say?”

“No. They all said it was fun. I just thought that what actors find fun and what other people find fun might be a little different.”

He was a bit worried because it was his first creation.

‘Well, it’s not a perfect creation.’

Seo-jun, who was thinking of his past lives that inspired him, heard Choi Si Yoon’s voice in his ear.

“It’s definitely amazing to think of the survivors…”

There was a moment of silence in the living room.

Kevin Kim, who nodded his head in agreement, looked to his side. 

Hwang Ye Jun, who had a blank face, was tapping the table with his chopsticks.

“Ye Jun, what are you doing?”

“Uh… Just a second…”

Was he out of it?

Seo-jun and Brown Black looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.

‘Ye Jun is not the only one who’s weird.’

“So how do we get to see it in person?”

“I think you have to buy tickets for the official performance.”

Choi Si Yoon answered Kevin Kim’s question. 

Park Seo Jin seemed to be thinking about something and opened his mouth.

“But we’re not the only ones who want to see Seo-jun’s play.”

“That’s right. People will flock to it. We might not be able to get tickets.”

“The actors said they would give special lectures if they were invited. Maybe we can do it with the music department too?”

Oh.

Park Seo Jin and Kevin Kim’s eyes sparkled at Choi Si Yoon’s words. 

They had heard that story three years ago.

“But isn’t that side for instruments? Like violin or piano.”

“I know how to play piano, but not enough to teach anyone.”

Rich kid.

Kevin Kim, the younger brother of Nara Kim, the owner of King’s Market, the largest Korean market in America, said that Park Seo Jin scratched his cheek.

“Even if they teach, wouldn’t it be classical songs?”

“Then it’s even worse.”

“What about idols? They’re from the same school as Seo-jun too.”

“Guys. Wouldn’t it be more accurate to ask the school?”

“…That’s true?”

At Seo-jun’s words, Brown Black nodded their heads at the same time.

“Today… It’s too late, so let’s do it tomorrow?”

“Seo-jun. Are there teachers during vacation?”

“Yes. There are. They also teach classes.”

That’s why Seo-jun planned to go to school when he had time during vacation.

‘But I was too busy to go.’

Seo-jun scooped up a well-cooked potato and a piece of well-cooked chicken from the spicy braised chicken with a ladle and put them on his plate in front of him and on Brown Black’s plate.

They all smiled brightly and picked up their chopsticks.

“Then let’s do it tomorrow.”

“But are we going together? Or separately?”

“It doesn’t matter if we go separately, right?”

“That’s right. The content of the lecture would be similar anyway.”

“But what are we going to teach?”

“I’m going to teach composition! Don’t you think they’ll be curious about my composition method that only makes hit songs? If we go together, I’ll be the only one who gets attention. Hmm. Should I go separately?”

Hwang Ye Jun, who had come to his senses, joined the conversation and laughed.

“…Should we leave him out?”

“Yeah. Seo Jin hyung.”

“Let’s do that.”

Seo-jun laughed at Brown Black’s bickering.

It was a lively evening.

***

-Jung Eun Sung: Preparing for music show.

-Park I Deun: The commute was crazy

-Park I Deun: There were people who came hoping you would make a surprise appearance.

Kim Si Hoon: But you didn’t

-Baek Yi Hyun: They looked like they were looking for you while greeting everyone.

-Choi Jae Won: It feels like there’s one seat missing

Seo-jun smiled as he read the text message on his phone.

Today was Friday.

It had been a week since their first music show performance last week, and it was the day KBC Music Bank was on again.

<It’s live today, right?

-Park I Deun: I’m so nervous;;;

-Jung Eun Sung: Today, Jae Won hyung will sit on the throne.

After Seo-jun left, Blue Moon changed their choreography. 

The five members were going to take turns in Seo-jun’s place.

-Park I Deun: Tomorrow, it’s Yi Hyun hyung. The day after tomorrow, it’s Si Hoon hyung.

-Park I Deun: And next week, it’s my turn!!

-Park I Deun: I’m so nervous;;;

“Seo-jun hyung! Are you far away?”

“Seo-jun oppa!”

“I’ll be right out!”

He heard the cheers of his siblings from outside the door and quickly sent a reply. He put on a thin coat over his swimsuit and went out to the living room.

Su Bin and Eun Su, who were wearing colorful and cute swimsuits (they had been wearing them since before they left), ran around with tubes with cartoon characters on them and even carried a round beach ball.

Next to them, Seo Eun Chan and Kim Hee Sang were slumped on the sofa.

“Dad. Why are the uncles like that?”

“They left the pump that blows air at home.”

Lee Min Joon chuckled at Seo-jun’s puzzled look. They seemed to have blown their souls into the tubes and beach balls.

“Hyung! Let’s go!”

“Hurry! Hurry!”

Su Bin and Eun Su grabbed Seo-jun’s hands and headed outside to where the pool was. 

They seemed to have memorized the way to the pool already.

Seo-jun looked around as he was dragged by the kids. 

The pool was in the backyard of the pension, but it was a bit far from the other pensions, so it seemed like they could use it comfortably.

There were three wooden-colored sunbeds and a parasol that blocked the sunlight and made shade in the pool. 

Next to them, there was a table and chairs that would be nice for a barbecue party in the evening.

“Chair!”

“Chair!”

Eun Su and Su Bin ran over and lay down on the sunbeds. 

They couldn’t lie down well because of the tubes around their waists, so they wriggled and laughed.

Seo-jun looked around and squinted his eyes at the scorching sun. 

He covered his eyes with his hand as if to block the sunlight.

His blue hair that swayed gently and his clear features, along with his long and muscular body that was made by exercise and dance practice, looked like a cut from a pictorial.

Seo Eun Hye and Lee Min Joon smiled contentedly as they came out to the backyard.

Whose son is he?

He grew up so well.
