Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 515

[Title: Is this Lee Seo-jun? (Photo included)]

A friend of mine was traveling in Europe and saw Park Jio’s hat-trick game live. He bragged about it to me.

He said he was also caught on the broadcast, so I searched for it and found him.

I blurred the faces of the other people.

This is Lee Seo-jun, right?

-…Wow! It looks like him!

=22 His face shines even among the crowd!

-He said he was friends with Park Jio, so he must have gone to watch the game.

=Yeah. They seem really close.

-I only watched the highlights of the game, so I didn’t think to look at the audience

=Me too Why is Lee Seo-jun here

The post quickly gained views with the name Lee Seo-jun. The reporters who were always looking for articles about Lee Seo-jun also found the post. They immediately called Cocoa Entertainment to confirm.

[Lee Seo-jun spotted in the mini stadium audience!]

Some places posted articles before confirming.

-They think they can get away with a question mark What if it’s not Lee Seo-jun?

=That would be more amazing, wouldn’t it? That there’s someone who looks like Lee Seo-jun.

=22 Even a 3-second Lee Seo-jun would be handsome.

=33 If it’s really someone who looks like him, then all the agencies in Korea would go to Barcelona

=???: I’m looking for the second Lee Seo-jun! Contact me now! Idol, actor, model! You can choose anything!

=Is this a home shopping channel

The articles that confirmed the news followed.

Unfortunately for the entertainment agencies that were briefly excited about the possibility of bringing someone who looked like him, it was Lee Seo-jun himself.

[Lee Seo-jun watches Park Jio’s game live!]

[Is Lee Seo-jun on a vacation now?]

[Lee Seo-jun cheering for his friend in the audience!]

[Have you seen Lee Seo-jun? Find the hidden Lee Seo-jun!]

-I saw that live I couldn’t see Seo-jun.

=22 I watched it because Seo-jun’s friend was playing, but… Seo-jun was there? (But I couldn’t recognize him)

=They don’t show the audience much during the game.

= They only showed that side of the audience when Park Jio did the ceremony, otherwise I wouldn’t have known he was there.

-‘Have you seen Lee Seo-jun?’ This is the caption that always comes up when Lee Seo-jun is on Running Man Did he secretly film Running Man in Spain or something?

=I couldn’t find him on Running Man, and I can’t find him here either

= Then when will they air it?

-He must have gone to Spain for a vacation since it’s the college break.

=Not Spain, but Europe.

=22 People usually don’t just go to Spain.

-Can I see Lee Seo-jun if I go to Europe now?

=Hmm. It’s hard. It’s hard to find Lee Seo-jun among all those people…

=22 And he might not stay in Spain, he might go to another country. We don’t know his schedule.

=33 It’s hard to see him in Seoul, let alone in Europe.

-I’m in Europe right now… and it’s so exciting to think that I’m in the same region as Seo-jun.^^

=Oh… where are you? Barcelona?

=England*^^*

=…You know England left the EU, right?

=Sudden Brexit

=No Even without that, it’s too far Seoul-Jeju is closer

=But if he’s traveling in Europe, he might go to England someday, right?

=22 If you wait, you might unknowingly get in a photo or pass by him! When are you coming back?

=Tomorrow*^^*

=…Why are you excited…

=

-Our sprouts never say that we can meet Seo-jun

=What kind of mythical creature is he?

=With Seo-jun’s stealth skills, he could do that It’s hard to see him in Seoul

=22 No wonder there’s a CG rumor about Seo-jun.

While the internet was buzzing with Seo-jun’s story, the sports channel that broadcasted the FC Barcelona B game was also in a frenzy.

“Oh my god…! It’s Lee Seo-jun!”

It was a sports channel, so having famous celebrities on it was a different world. But now, it had become a reality. And not just any celebrity, but the top star Lee Seo-jun.

And he wasn’t just passing by. The story of his friendship with Park Jio was also bound to interest the public. There was already a sports news with the title ‘Lee Seo-jun cheering for Park Jio’.

The problem was that it was just a brief glimpse of the audience.

If Lee Seo-jun’s appearance was all they had for the replay that was getting a lot of payments, it would be a pity.

“Is there any other footage of the C audience?”

“I’ll check!”

The sports channel moved quickly to make the most of the luck that came to them unexpectedly.

Meanwhile, the sprouts were watching the very short footage of Seo-jun.

One of the sprouts who was good at editing made a cool video of Park Jio’s shooting scene and Seo-jun’s cheering and uploaded it on YouTube. Of course, it was very short.

-Thank you for the video

-The quality of Seo-jun is not good, but it’s zoomed in, so there’s nothing we can do

-Seo-jun cheers so hard I’ve never seen him so excited except for his works

=Me too. He looks like a college student who went to watch his friend’s game

=I like this kind of everyday look too

=I want to sit there and cheer with him

-A photo of Seo-jun was posted on Sprout Garden! He’s wearing a uniform and sitting in the audience! His expression is so bright He looks like he’s still excited after the game

=He must have cheered with all his might. His sweat is moist…

=! I’m going to see it right now!

***

When Korea was in a stir, Seo-jun and his friends arrived at the train station to head to Paris, France. There were planes, but they wanted to try the European trains.

“Wow. I’m getting a lot of messages.”

Park Jio and Kim Tae-ju, who came to pick them up, laughed at the ringing phones.

Jio got messages from his fellow players and the club staff who knew him, and Kim Tae-ju got messages from his family and friends who knew he was managing Park Jio.

“It must have spread to Spain.”

He had heard from Andaho that the post was up a while ago, but it seemed to have spread here already.

“But it was good timing to let them know.”

“Right?”

Seo-jun nodded at Ji-hoo’s words. If they had known a day earlier, they wouldn’t have been able to enjoy Barcelona with Jio.

“Shall we go in now?”

It was almost time to depart.

Jio helped Seo-jun and the kids with their luggage, while Kim Tae-ju chatted with the bodyguards who would board the train with them. Some of the bodyguards had already arrived in Paris.

As they moved around, the time to say goodbye came. Of course, they could contact each other anytime by phone, but they still felt sad.

“Congratulations on your promotion, Jio. Be careful with your training.”

“Next time, let’s travel together.”

Jio smiled brightly and nodded at Mina and Ji-yoon’s words.

“Be careful in the game. Don’t push yourself too hard. I’m not saying you shouldn’t fight, but don’t overdo it.”

Seo-jun, who had filled the hourglass with mana for Jio’s ability, said with a smile.

“Call mom and dad often. And don’t hide it if you get hurt.”

“Mom and dad will worry.”

“Tell me. Tell me.”

Jio nodded at Ji-hoo’s words. He knew that Ji-hoo would be able to talk to their parents without making them worry too much.

Soon, an announcement came that the train was about to leave.

“Take care, everyone.”

“Call us anytime you need.”

Seo-jun and the kids nodded at Jio and Kim Tae-ju’s words and boarded the train. They took their seats.

Jio couldn’t take his eyes off his friends and brother through the window.

Even after sitting down, Seo-jun and the kids waved their hands with sad and worried faces. Jio also saw his brother’s face, which was not good at expressing his affection, but full of concern.

“Bye!”

Jio waved his hand with a bright smile. He hoped that his friends would have a wonderful trip in Europe.

“Let me know when you arrive in Paris!”

“Jio! Take care!”

“See you again!”

“Don’t get hurt!”

Seo-jun, Ji-yoon, Mina, and Ji-hoo shouted something, but it was too noisy to hear. Jio just smiled at their cheerful expressions.

The train’s door slowly closed, and it started to move.

Jio watched the train until it disappeared completely.

Paris, France, Lyon Station.

The train from Barcelona, Spain arrived. The door opened and people who looked like tourists and locals mixed and got off. Among them, there were four students with suitcases.

“It’s amazing. Coming to another country by train.”

Ji-yoon looked around with a curious face. It was amazing to her that Europe was connected by borders, unlike Korea, where she could only travel to other countries by plane.

“It definitely feels different from Barcelona.”

“Right?”

As the kids looked around Lyon Station, Seo-jun took out his phone and sent a message. One to Jio, and one to his friend. As if they had been waiting, they replied in less than a second that they were coming.

“They’ll be here soon.”

“I’ve never seen Seo-jun’s French friend before.”

“Me neither. I’ve heard a lot about him, though.”

Seo-jun grinned at his friends’ words. He was as precious as his childhood friends.

“/Jun!/”

He heard someone calling his name and turned around. He saw his friend whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. He looked healthy as ever.

“/Charlie!/”

Seo-jun greeted Charlie with a bright smile. The kids who were standing next to Seo-jun also greeted Charlie with a smile.

“/Nice to meet you. I’m Charlie Bernard. Just call me Charlie./”

After Charlie’s introduction, the kids also introduced themselves. They felt familiar with each other, maybe because they had heard stories from Seo-jun.

“/Shall we go to the accommodation first?/”

“/Yeah. Let’s do that./”

Seo-jun nodded at Charlie’s words.

Charlie and his father had helped a lot in finding accommodation for the two-week Paris itinerary. They lived in a nearby city, so they had quite a few acquaintances in Paris.

The accommodation was Charlie’s father’s friend’s house, who was planning to rent it out to travelers on Airbnb while he was on a family trip. Seo-jun and his friends were lucky to rent that house.

“/We can take my father’s car to the accommodation. He borrowed a big car so we can load our luggage./”

Charlie smiled and led the way to where the car was. Seo-jun and his friends followed him.

They had traveled for more than six hours by train, so it was already evening when they left at one o’clock.

They came out of Lyon Station, where the darkening sky and the lights blended together, and headed for the car parked in front of the station. After loading their luggage in the car, Charlie took the passenger seat and Seo-jun and his friends sat in the back seat.

“/Hello, sir./”

“/Long time no see, Jun! Your friends are welcome, too!/”

Charlie’s father, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, greeted Seo-jun and his friends with a wide smile.

After a brief greeting, the car slowly started to move toward the accommodation. The kids gasped as they saw the scenery of Paris through the window. It was completely different from Barcelona.

Seo-jun, who had visited France often, talked to Charlie with a familiar face.

“/The accommodation is in a convenient location, so you can go anywhere. I’ll tell you about the buses, too./”

“Thank you.”

“It’s quite an amazing trip, isn’t it? Paris 5 University, the International Book Fair, Le Cordon Bleu… Is this really a vacation?”

The kids laughed at Charlie’s words. They admitted that their trip was unusual.

“Hmm. Jun?”

“Yes, sir?”

“I think there’s a car following us since we left. What should we do?”

Seo-jun looked back at the car behind them with wide eyes and said with a smile.

“Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. They’re our bodyguards. They’ve been with us since Spain.”

“Wow! You’re a superstar, Jun! I was wondering how you would shake off your fans if they followed you. You know, like in the movies. Car chases and stuff. I always wanted to try that!”

Another round of laughter erupted at Charlie’s father’s words. The conversation continued in a cheerful mood.

“By the way, who was going to participate in the Le Cordon Bleu program?”

“Yes, I’m participating. For two weeks.”

“That’s great. Charlie is also attending Le Cordon Bleu.”

Mina looked at Seo-jun, surprised by the news, and Seo-jun also stared at Charlie, who he had never heard of this before. Charlie quickly raised his hand and said.

“Well, to be precise, I’m starting this semester. I think learning from my father is enough, but… He said why don’t I go to the good cooking school next door.”

“You should learn as much as you can! Look at Jun. He’s already a great actor, but he’s still studying acting at college.”

“I like our restaurant’s food better, dad.”

Seo-jun and the kids smiled at the father and son’s argument.

They understood both Charlie’s father’s wish for his son to learn more, and Charlie’s desire to cook his father’s food.

“Anyway, it looks like Mina and I will have similar schedules. The two-week program and the regular classes have the same hours. And we’re in the same building.”

“That’s good. It’s nice to have someone you know.”

Ji-hoo’s words made Seo-jun and Ji-yoon nod.

Even if they weren’t in the same class, it was reassuring to have someone who could help them in the same building.

“Let me know if you need any help.”

“Thank you.”

Mina answered Charlie’s words with a smile.

Charlie’s father taught the kids how to get to Paris 5 University, Le Cordon Bleu, and the venue where the International Book Fair would be held.

“There’s a shop that sells delicious desserts this way.”

The restaurant recommendation was a bonus.

In the midst of the noisy atmosphere, Seo-jun’s phone rang. He thought it was a call from Korea, but it wasn’t. Seo-jun looked at his phone with a bewildered face.

-Grace: Yay!

-Grace: I’m going to Paris too!

-Grace: My sister is going to the International Book Fair!

-Grace: Introduce me to Jun’s friends!

…It seemed like Paris had become a meeting place for everyone.
