Chapter 109
Chapter 109
Jung Isuls violin lessons, which she thought would end by the new year, continued until spring. After practicing the violin, Seo-jun and Jung Isul would sit in the practice room and chat while eating snacks.
I dont know if Im teaching Seo-jun or playing with him.
Hahaha.
Dont you think so? Maybe the professors would have more to teach, but Im still a student and I dont know much.
This is enough for me. Thank you, teacher.
Jung Isul smiled at Seo-juns words. Teaching Seo-jun was a good time for Jung Isul.
There are geniuses in the world that you cant even imagine. And there are many things to learn from a genius.
Jung Isuls skills improved rapidly as she played the violin with Seo-jun. She wanted to go back to school and play in front of everyone as soon as possible.
Seeing Jung Isul like that, Seo-jun also thought that the teacher was a very nice person.
Jung Isul was briefly discouraged by Seo-juns excellent learning ability, but she quickly regained her energy and took it as a good nutrient.
I read the script, but I had no idea how it would turn out. Is this how ordinary people feel when they read sheet music? Do you imagine scenes when you read the script, Seo-jun?
It depends on the directors directing style, but I get a rough idea. Its like music, different conductors have different feelings.
Oh. I see. But the script itself was really fun. Is this going to be the movie?
Seo-jun shook his head at Jung Isuls question.
It could be, or the script or the directing could change and the feeling could be different.
Really? I wonder what kind of movie it will be.
Maybe because she heard Benjamin Mortons music and read the script, music flowed in her head as she read the script.
Jung Isul was eagerly waiting for the movie to be released. The problem was that they hadnt even filmed it yet.
By the way, when do you start filming?
I got a call from the director, and I think well go to the U.S. sometime in May. Well practice for two weeks and start filming in June.
May Thats not much time left.
Yes. I wish it was May already.
Seo-juns eyes sparkled. It was the first time he had such a long practice period.
He had other opportunities to film in the meantime, but he was already hooked on this work and didnt consider them at all.
Ah. I want to film soon.

[20th College Student Film Festival, Kim Suhan wins gold!]
[Director Kim Suhan, known as a fan of Najin (Lee Seo-jun), wins!]
-Lol, hes the first fan of Najin who got his autograph lol
-He became a director. Well, he must have a good eye for becoming a fan of Lee Seo-jun just by his voice.
-Whats the movie about? Does Cheongryong appear?
-No lol, its a horror movie lol
-Lee Seo-jun hasnt been active for a year and a half
=Come back soon!!
Seo-jun, did you see this?
Yeah. Suhan hyung. He became a director.
I know. You never know what peoples lives are like. Maybe well work together with Seo-jun someday.
Hahaha. Maybe well make a horror movie. Then dad wont be able to watch it.
Lee Min Jun made a sad face at Seo-juns words. It was his sons work, but it was a horror movie. He wasnt sure if he could watch it or not. Seo-jun, Lee Eun Hye, and Lee Eun Chan laughed at that.
Da Ho will go in a few days. If you need anything in the U.S., contact Da Ho.
Okay.
Seo-jun nodded at Lee Eun Chans words. Lee Min Jun hugged Lee Eun Hye and Seo-jun.
Ill take some vacation and go. Take care of yourself. And Seo-jun, do well in filming.
Okay! Dad, you too.
Lets go.
Seo-jun and Lee Eun Hye, wearing black hats, pulled their suitcases and disappeared into the departure hall. Soon, a plane flew to LA in the sky.
***
Hi!! Seo-jun.
Hi. Nara aunt!
This time, well be filming in LA, so well see each other more often!!
Yeah!
The movie was filmed in LA. Seo-jun and Lee Eun Hye, who were looking for a place to stay, decided to stay at Nara Kims house in LA. Da Ho also rented a room there.
Nara Kims house was a two-story mansion with staff, and it was no less than a hotel. Everyone looked at Seo-jun with curiosity and then with surprise at Nara Kim.
See? I was right.
Really! The bosss connections are amazing
Everyone nodded their heads. Seo-jun and Lee Eun Hye looked around. Nara Kim laughed and led them to the room.
Nobody believed me when I said I was close with Seo-jun Lee. No matter how wide my network is, they said there was no way I knew Seo-jun Lee. I even changed his diapers!
Aunt!
Why, its true.
It is, but Its embarrassing for me too.
Seo-jun looked around. The staff who were moving the luggage twitched their mouths. Sigh. Seo-jun sighed inwardly.
Cant you just say you fed me baby food instead of changing my diapers?
Isnt that too weak?
Then, um.
Seo-jun was seriously worried that she might bring up the diaper story in some interview. Nara and Lee Eun Hye smiled at Seo-juns expression. They thought they shouldnt mention this story anymore since he hated it so much.
It would be enough to say that you introduced me to the audition. If it wasnt for you, I wouldnt have done William.
Really?
I might have started with a different role someday, but I wouldnt have made such an impact.
Everyone nodded at Seo-juns words. Nara Kim smiled and stroked Seo-juns head.
Know that its all thanks to me.
No, its not. Its because Im good at acting.
The two bickered, and Lee Eun Hye burst into laughter.
After unpacking and taking a break, the three decided to have dinner. They went out to the yard where a barbecue grill was installed and grilled the barbecue themselves.
Delicious meat, sausage, and dishes. Seo-jun looked at the beef that was deliciously cooked on the grill. The beef was big and thick, like American beef. Could he eat it all? Seo-jun decided to trust the slime in his stomach.
Lee Eun Hye and Nara Kim, holding beer glasses, grilled the meat and reminisced. A piece of meat came up on Seo-juns plate, and he quickly picked it up and put it in his mouth. Yum yum. It was delicious. Seo-jun smiled broadly and ate the meat diligently.
We used to have fun like this. Right?
It would be perfect if Min Jun and Jacks family were here.
Jack, he said he started playing baseball, right?
Yeah. Hes pretty good. I guess hes thinking of going that way.
Seo-jun laughed at that. The little boy who cried and cried if he didnt give him a monster doll was already at the age of thinking about his career.
Seo-jun, are you going to act when you grow up?
Yeah! Ill do it for a long time.
Its a good thing to be able to do what you love for a long time. Work hard.
Nara Kim, who had risen to the position of president of Kings Market, was working hard and said with a smile.

Two days later, Seo-jun and Seo-eunhye headed to the practice room prepared by Whale Studio. It seemed that they had arrived early, as there were only Director Sara Roth and Assistant Director Emily in the practice room.
Hello! Director!
Hello.
Welcome. Jun! Nice to meet you. And you too, maam.
Emily quickly prepared the chairs.
Did we come too early?
No. We were just about to get ready.
As she said, Emily prepared three more chairs besides the two for them.
The child actors who will practice with you and the professor who will give you lessons will be here soon. There will also be a student of the professor who will play for Jun instead. We will also greet the other child actors who are coming. Maam, you can wait in the waiting room while we practice.
Seo-jun and Seo-eunhye nodded at Sara Roths words. A little later, two child actors and their guardians arrived. Emily guided the guardians to the waiting room.
Director Sara Roth introduced the three children sitting on the chairs to each other.
This is Seo-jun Lee, the actor who plays the main character, Gray.
At that, the two children gasped. No one had told them who the main character was until now, and it was Seo-jun Lee!
Among the actors who attended the same acting academy, Seo-jun Lee was the object of envy. Everyone, whether adult or child, wanted to be famous like Seo-jun Lee and do great acting.
This is Catherine Miller, the actress who plays Rebecca.
Sara Roth pointed to the girl. The blonde girl, who was slightly taller than Seo-jun, waved her hand lightly.
This is Paul Oden, the actor who plays George.
The boy who looked like a mischief-maker smiled broadly and reached out his hand. Seo-jun also smiled and shook his hand.
Hi. Im Seo-jun Lee. You can call me Jun.
Im Catherine.
Im Paul. Nice to meet you!
As Seo-jun and the children were shaking hands, Director Sara Roths phone rang. The caller was Professor Benjamin Morton. Sara Roth got up from her seat.
It must be the professor. Ill go get him. Wait here.
Okay.
Director Sara Roth left the practice room and Catherine, who had been hesitating, opened her mouth.
Can you give me your autograph later? I really enjoyed your movie.
Sure. Can you also tell me the movies you starred in? Ill look them up.
Um. The movies I was in are not very fun. They all flopped.
Seo-jun said with a smile at Catherines words.
Even if the movies flopped, you did your best, right? I want to see your acting more than the movies. We have to act together from now on. Id appreciate it if Paul could tell me too.
It was much easier to understand the other persons acting than to know nothing.
It might not matter for a simple role, but Catherine and Paul were supposed to match their breath with Seo-jun from the beginning to the end, so it was more important.
Catherine and Paul nodded at Seo-juns words. The famous actor was really different.
I see. Okay. Ill tell you.
Give me your contact too.
Oh. I can contact Jun? My friends wont believe it!
Paul and Catherine took out their phones with excited faces. Seo-jun also took out his phone with a cheerful smile.
Soon, Director Sara Roth came in with two men.
The middle-aged man who looked like Professor Benjamin Morton had gray hair and a thin body, but he didnt look weak. He looked like a kind teacher with a neat outfit and a faint smile.
The man who came in with him looked like he was in his mid-twenties and had a stiff face. His outfit was as neat as Benjamin Mortons, but his eyes were fierce. Catherine and Paul, who were intimidated, closed their mouths.
This is the person who made the music for our movie.
Im Benjamin Morton.
Benjamin Morton said politely. Catherine and Paul were bewildered by the polite greeting from the adult. Seo-jun greeted him first.
Hello. Im Seo-jun Lee. Please call me Jun.
Yes. Jun. I look forward to working with you.
Catherine and Paul also greeted him bravely. Benjamin Morton smiled and the atmosphere relaxed.
The kindness was also conveyed to the children, and Benjamin Morton started a small talk first. Seo-jun and the children also opened their mouths comfortably.
In the warm atmosphere, the man who was alone stood still without saying anything. He had a disgruntled look in his eyes, but he tried not to show it and seemed to hide it well.
However, the problem was that this was a place where there were actors who had to act with their eyes and directors who had to capture and make them into works.
Even if they were child actors, they were actors. Catherine and Paul poked Seo-juns back with their fingers. Seo-jun also gestured with his hand behind his back. They seemed to have noticed without saying anything.
This is my student.
Im Jayden Moore.
But something changed in his mind, and Jayden Moores disgruntled look subsided. The director and the actors were rather puzzled by Jayden Moores polite attitude.
But anyway. Seo-jun shrugged his shoulders. It would have been a bit awkward if he had kept that look, but it was good that he changed.
Seo-jun reached out his hand.
Im Jun. Nice to meet you.
Yeah. Nice to meet you.
The children also exchanged greetings with Jayden Moore. Benjamin Morton, who was satisfied with the softened atmosphere, opened his mouth.
Shall we start by looking at what each of you practiced so far? We need to see how familiar you are with it to know how to practice from now on.
Yes!
At that, Catherine and Seo-jun, who had to play the violin in the movie, answered.
