Chapter 758

As expected, the internet was flooded with news about Seo-jun.

The entertainment reporters quickly gathered the posts from Cocoa Entertainment’s SNS and the people who went to the Han Ye University festival and turned them into articles. 

 

They had never expected such a scoop.

[Actor Lee Seo-jun, appears at Han Ye University festival!]

[Cocoa Entertainment, live streaming on YouTube channel ‘JUN’!]

[Han Ye University student Lee Seo-jun, participates in the festival with the Divine Project!]

[A performance art with the Greek-Roman pantheon as the background!]

[The tickets to see the Divine Project in person, the Blessing Tickets, are sadly sold out…]

-The last article is full of the reporter’s personal feelings

=I know right

-I always thought he would show up at the Han Ye University festival someday, but I didn’t expect him to surprise us like this.

=22 No one noticed him until the second time

=33 I’m once again amazed by Seo-jun’s one-shot(?) skills

-Live! Live! Even if I can’t go there, I can still watch it

=But right now, I can only see the tent.

=It hasn’t started yet.

-It’s Wednesday today, right? Why are there so many viewers?

=222 It’s amazing that YouTube hasn’t crashed.

=Salary thief!

=Class thief!

=+Viewers from all over the world are coming.

=I’m a New York sprout, I woke up to the Cocoa SNS notification and I’m watching now.

=Oh! You’re a Korean working in New York!

=I’m American.

=…Huh?

=I’m saving money to go to Korea, a pure American who has never set foot on foreign soil. Salary thief is so hard. Seo-jun is the joy of my life. And he’s doing a live today! Screw work tomorrow! I’m staying up all night!

=Oh…

=The characteristic of foreign sprouts: studying Korean and Korean history.

=22 They know Korean and Korean history better than me

-A Greek-Roman pantheonSeo-jun as a statue

=I always thought of Seo-jun as a sculpture, but I never thought he would actually appear as a statue

=The photo is so handsomeHe must look even better in the video!

=Heart pounding!

That’s how the word ‘Lee Seo-jun’ appeared on the internet, and the sprouts (who were everywhere) and the people who came late after seeing the articles all flocked to the YouTube channel [JUN].

YouTube paused for a moment.

-YouTube can’t crash.(serious)

=If you crash, we’re going to storm the headquarters.(archaic)

=Should we recruit party members to storm together in advance?(smiling with an axe)

=Shall we?(smiling with a hammer)

=YouTube: (working hard)

Meanwhile, Seo-jun and the [Divine] team were preparing for the 1 o’clock performance.

The filming team installed small cameras all over the stage to capture the statues well, the props team moved the new props to the designated places, the art team fixed the actors’ makeup, and the actor team waited while their faces and limbs were painted with white paint.

“Seo-jun, did you see this?”

Hwang Ji Yoon, from the ‘Hwa Film’ filming team, who was filming the scene, handed him her phone. Seo-jun rolled his eyes, feeling the coldness of the white paint that was being applied to his face.

Hwang Ji Yoon smiled mischievously and showed him the phone screen.

-I was wondering if I should become a fan of the handsome rookie who appeared, butI was already a fan. Seo-jun

=22 ‘Oh! A handsome rookie! I should be a fan!’ Why is it always Seo-jun??

=Taste pine tree

= Seo-jun’s appearance surpasses the pine tree.

=22 My usual type and Seo-jun are different, right?

=33 My bias is my bias and Lee Seo-jun is Lee Seo-jun.

=If the word ‘handsome’ disappears, you can replace it with ‘Lee Seo-jun’.

=222 Let’s use ‘Lee Seo-jun’ instead of ‘handsome’ from now on.

Seo-jun burst into laughter at the unexpected attack.

“Hyung, you can’t laugh.”

“No, Min Hyung. Ji Yoon noona is funny.”

It was actually the sprouts who left the comments, but it wasn’t a wrong statement since Hwang Ji Yoon showed it to him.

At Seo-jun’s words, Park Min Hyung, who was holding a brush, made a sullen face and said in a serious voice.

“You can’t even talk yet. Ji Yoon sunbae-nim, you shouldn’t do that either.”

“Yes.”

At the pressure of Park Min Hyung, who was still a sophomore, Seo-jun and Hwang Ji Yoon just closed their mouths and nodded.

That’s how all the preparations for the 1 o’clock performance were finished. The outside of the tent was also noisy with people gathering.

Seo-jun looked at the [Divine] team members.

They had already discussed it beforehand, but they all looked nervous as the live broadcast was approaching. 

Especially, the props team and the art team members who played the roles of priests even though they were not from the acting department.

Seo-jun eased the team members’ tension with a smile.

“You all did well. If you just do as you did before, the audience and we will all have a fun and enjoyable day. Relax, and if anything happens, please tell the security guards or the staff anytime.”

He spoke with a gentle expression as usual, so that everyone could feel comfortable and happy, but.

“Seo-jun, you… You look so holy like that.”

“It feels like… I’m receiving a revelation.”

Maybe it was because he was dressed like a Greek-Roman god, but he looked several times more sacred than usual.

“Oh. Our lord has told us to call the security guards if anything happens.”

Hwang Do Yoon, from the filming team, clasped his hands and spoke like a devout priest, and everyone burst into laughter. 

He was an actor, after all, and he looked like a real priest who was wasting his acting skills.

Seo-jun, who was laughing with the team members, stretched out his hand.

“Shall we start then? It’s our first time doing a live broadcast, even though we did it the first time.”

At Seo-jun’s words, the [Divine] team members also smiled and gathered their hands.

One by one.

“Divine Project!”

“Fighting!”

***

Seo-jun and the actors went up to the stage.

“Don’t feel pressured. Just do it comfortably.”

“Yes!”

“Don’t worry! It feels like we’re doing better than during practice!”

“Right!”

Seo-jun smiled at the sparkling words of his juniors.

It was probably because of the [(Good) Heavenly God Jeruel’s Blessing] that returned as much as they wished and worked. 

They were the juniors who had received the ability most frequently and closely.

‘Of course, their own efforts are the most important.’

If they didn’t wish and work hard to do well, there would be no effect at all.

Seo-jun smiled brightly and said.

“Yeah. I believe you’ll all do well.”

“Yes!”

To repay the trust of their role model and senior, the juniors headed to their places with serious faces.

Let’s work harder!

Their hearts combined with [(Good) Heavenly God Jeruel’s Blessing], and they were able to act as perfect ‘statues’.

Seo-jun looked at his juniors with a proud expression, and then walked around them with the art team that followed him, checking if there was anything wrong with their costumes or props, and finally sat down in his place.

“It’s done. Seo-jun hyung.”

He checked if their clothes were overlapping, or if their hair was sticking out.

He looked like he was observing a real statue, with such delicacy. Park Min Hyung, the leader of the art team, said and Seo-jun slightly opened his mouth to answer.

“Then let’s start when the time comes.”

“Yes.”

The art team went down, and Seo-jun gathered all his vitality and left only the minimum.

His body temperature was cold.

His breathing was minimal.

He restrained his body movements as much as possible.

‘But I can’t lose too much strength from my body, or I’ll look saggy.’

A statue made of ore was cold and hard, with no life or movement, but it had to show a dynamism that seemed to move at any moment.

Seo-jun and his juniors, who had received Seo-jun’s hell training, reminded themselves of that thought, and sat down with a little strength in their bodies and gently closed their eyes.

That’s how the ‘people’ disappeared from the stage and only the ‘statues’ remained.

A moment later.

Ding- A clear bell rang, and the curtain of the temple began to rise.

***

-It’s 1 o’clock!

=The bell rang!!

-Don’t crash, YouTube!!

-The tent is going up!

YouTube stuttered but managed to broadcast the video to the countless viewers.

-There’s buffering, but what can I see?

=22 Just don’t stop!

Soon, the temple appeared before their eyes.

-Wow! This is crazy…!

=They really made a temple!

=It’s small but they even made a fountain

=It suits them well.

=22 They really went all out

-But it’s different from the photo?

=They said the poses are different every time.

-Ahhh! I love this too!

Just like the noisy internet reactions, flashes went off everywhere at the scene.

“They’re sitting this time!”

As he said, unlike before when all the gods were standing, this time, only two guard statues were standing and the rest were sitting on chairs.

“The chairs also have different patterns according to the themes of the gods.”

The back of the chairs was not visible well, but when he looked closely, it seemed that the backrests were designed according to the themes of each lower god.

Six lower god statues sat on those chairs on both sides of the temple, and one of the guard statues in the back was holding a spear and a shield, and the other was holding a pile of rolled up papers.

And in the center.

There was a white chair that was more splendid than the other chairs, and on that chair, a statue leaned back slightly, looking down at the papers spread out in front of him.

It was the lord.

His white hair, which looked like it was carved one by one, fell softly over one shoulder, and unlike before when he looked straight ahead, he tilted his head slightly to the side, showing his sharp nose, chin, and eyelashes.

-His front and side are both handsome, our Seo-jun

=He really looks like a statue that I wouldn’t know he’s a person if he didn’t tell me

=I want to see this all dayMy eyes and heart and body and mind are all healed.

=222 There’s no cure-all like this.

-Cocoa, what are you doing, not selling that statue.

=22 Sell me ‘that statue’ instead of anything else.

=Hey, the comment above? ‘That statue’ is Seo-jun, you know?

=Sell it.

=Will you sell it?

=

-I’m satisfied with a figure.

=Me too. Make them all from 1-5 times poses.

=And the temple. I want to collect them and decorate them.

-I feel like this is a real Korean, working hard even in this situation.

=The ‘god’ who works

=No, do the statues work too?!

=But if you look closely, there are some papers rolling around next to the lower gods

=One of the guard statues is also holding a paper pile like a secretary.

-If Seo-jun led it, there must be a story.

=22 Where’s the moviegoer!!

=33He must be watching this!

=44 Change your job to a sculpture critic(?) and explain it quickly!

The moviegoer, who was watching the live and admiring it, coughed as he heard the sudden call.

Time flew by and it was 25 minutes.

-What, when did the time pass like this?

=I was so absorbed that I didn’t notice 25 minutes had passed??

-Seo-jun and the other statues are amazing They never moved once.

=22 Are they really statues?

=I didn’t know he was Seo-jun when I saw him, I thought he was a real statue.

=Me too. And back then, he was standing, so it must have been harder. He didn’t budge at all.

=The Korean acting industry is bright. They all seem to act well(happy)

-It’s over in 5 minutesI’m sad.

=The remaining 5 minutes are amazing.

=22 Those 5 minutes are cool.

“Unni, video! Video!”

At her sister’s urging, she switched to video mode with a speed faster than light, while pressing the shutter and taking pictures of the statues.

“What are they doing now?”

“Those who have the Blessing Tickets, follow me inside!”

As her brother said, 30 people who had the [Blessing Tickets] followed the priest into the fenced area.

-??Why are they going in??

=That’s part of the event.

=Let me explain. In this Divine Project, there is something called Blessing Tickets…

The people who were watching the live and wondering, were kindly explained by the others (especially, the sprouts).

-I’m jealous

=Me too, Blessing Tickets

After the believers finished their tour, the priest said.

“O Lord. Please, bestow your blessings upon those who prayed to you.”

At that, the lower gods who were sitting on the chairs got up and moved to the side. And they turned around and looked at the believers behind them.

Ahh!!

They knew it, but they couldn’t help but be surprised to see them move for real. The YouTube chat was also filled with comments of astonishment.

-It’s not over yet!

“Then let us all pray to the Lord.”

At the priest’s words, the lower gods walked to the front of the temple one by one and lined up. The believers followed them with excited faces.

-Wow…!

=It’s so fun to watch from here, but it must be even more fun to watch from there

=22 I want to stand there too I have the confidence to become a fanatic

=Fanatic

-Dad asked if this was a Greek documentary? When he saw the statues moveHe was surprisedWe’re watching it together now

=Greek documentary

=But it does feel like that

Then,

-–!

The violin solo of [BREAK] sounded. It was loud enough to be heard on the YouTube live.

The two guard statues who opened their eyes knelt down. 

The six lower gods also knelt down.

And finally, the lord statue who was sitting on the chair and looking at the papers slowly opened his eyes and lifted his head. 

He looked at the lower gods and the believers behind them, and the people beyond the fence.

His lively black eyes.

The temple, which had been cool but ordinary until a moment ago, changed its atmosphere as if a ‘god’ had really descended. The YouTube live chat also stopped for a moment because of his aura.

It was as if only there was a holy light shining.

“…This is crazy…”

Someone’s voice spoke for everyone’s hearts.

The ‘lord’ who descended to the earth gently put down the papers and got up from his seat.

And he moved his steps. 

The fountain stopped automatically, and the lord walked on the water. His white feet made waves with every step.

He walked like that and soon stopped in front of the lower gods who were bowing their heads.

The lord looked at the lower gods, the believers, the people beyond the fence, and the people who would be watching on YouTube again. 

And then he lifted his lips softly and smiled.

Everyone stared blankly at his smile.

Somehow, they felt calm and excited at the same time.

“-May you-have-blessings-”

A white blessing came down.
