Yeah. Lets go to the coin karaoke again next time.
Oh, speaking of coin karaoke, the one step video that Seo-jun filmed got a lot of views on YouTube. There were comments in foreign languages too.
The kids nodded at Minas words.
It was on the news.
There was probably no public service advertisement that spread to the world like this.
People are flocking to the Baekho Fire Safety Experience Center.
Oh, I saw the article too.
They said the experience facilities are also very diverse.
The set of One Step that was moved to the Baekho Fire Safety Experience Center was renovated and opened in the middle of summer vacation.
They made it possible to experience in different courses, such as escaping from room 7 like One Step in connection with the smoke experience center, finding hidden tissues and water bottles in front of the blocked entrance and emergency exit, and finding the room to escape by the handle temperature.
It was a popular experience among not only children but also adults, especially Seo-juns fans, because they could experience almost the same as One Step.
There were many videos uploaded on YouTube that were edited similarly to One Step.
Seo-jun didnt know that the set of One Step would be used like that.
Do foreigners come a lot too?
Yeah. They say a lot of them come.
Our Seo-jun is amazing!
Everyone burst out laughing at Ji-yoons words. Ji-hoo, who had laughed enough, asked Seo-jun.
By the way, if you go to an art middle school, dont you have to take a test?
Yeah. There is no written test, but I have to act.
Seo-jun will definitely pass!
What about the house youre moving to?
Not yet. Mom and dad are looking for it, but I guess theres no good house.
Invite me when you move!
Right. Lets all go play together.
Yeah. Come and play.
Seo-jun smiled and nodded his head at his friends words.
***
As soon as they decided to move, Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon became busy from summer vacation.
The couple worked hard to find a house near Yeoul Art Middle School.
How about this one?
No.
Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon whispered behind the real estate agent.
It was spacious, clean, and well-located.
The security was also good, but something felt bad.
They felt uneasy from the first impression.
Why?
This strange feeling gave them a lot of trouble in deciding on a house.
The note from Seo-jun in their wallet sparkled.
[I love you mom and dad!]
With a small bird drawing, it was a note full of Seo-juns love that the couple cherished.
[(Gift/Production)Fortune-telling birds note intermediate level]
It helps you determine which house suits the owner of the note.
You will feel good if it is a good house, and uncomfortable if it is a bad house.
How to use: You own a paper with a bird drawing on it.
Expiration date: 2 months
This bird was a very brave fortune-telling bird that helped fortune-tellers with bird divination. Especially, he had made a fortune by predicting good places to move for many people. He was a famous fortune-teller who had made his family rich by moving to a good place.
I hope the new place we move to is as good as this apartment.
The note filled with Seo-jun and his parents wishes told them that this place was not a good one.
Is this one bad too?
The real estate agent headed outside to introduce another house, sensing that fact from their expressions.
It was tough.
It was a cheap house that was spacious and clean, but it was put up for sale because of the noise from upstairs.
He wondered when this house would sell and shook his head.
With Seo-juns ability, the couple wandered around Yeoul Art Middle School until they found a good apartment at the end of September.
It was spacious, clean, and expensive, but it was understandable.
More than anything, when they stepped into this house for the first time, they felt a warm breeze that made them feel refreshed.
Its amazing.
They liked the first impression of this house just by that breeze.
The small bird drawn on the note was also satisfied with this house.
But feeling is feeling.
The picky couple looked around everywhere.
Especially, they looked closely at two rooms that would be Seo-juns room and practice room.
Lets put a desk and a bookshelf here.
Lets put the bed on this side. The sunlight is really nice.
They liked the view from Seo-juns room window.
They hoped that the scenery would fit into their sons heart as well.
Ill take this one.
The real estate agent smiled and wiped the cold sweat from his back, seeing the satisfied smile on the couples faces.
They were young, but they had an extraordinary eye for houses.
***
Seo-jun, we found a good house.
Seo-jun asked, eating the braised ribs.
Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon looked at their son with pride.
They wanted to brag about how good the house was.
You dont know how nice it is to have a wide open view from the window.
The house is spacious and the energy seems good too.
Energy.
Seo-jun chuckled at that word.
It seemed that the fortune-telling birds ability had chosen a reliable house.
Seo-jun felt relieved by that alone.
Then when are we moving?
The current owner has to move out first, and we have to repaint and renovate Seo-juns practice room, so maybe around the end of November?
I see.
If you have anything you want to put in your practice room, think about it slowly.
Anything I want
He put a tender rib in his mouth and thought hard.
Seo-juns eyes sparkled.
A camera and a monitor?
Of course we have to install those.
Seo-jun and Seo-eun-hye laughed at dads words.
Lets also put a small refrigerator. We can put drinks and simple snacks in there too.
Yeah. You might want to stay in your practice room when you want to focus.
Lets decorate the wallpaper of the practice room so that it helps you concentrate Hmm, how about making it like the one in Cocoa Entertainment?
That would be nice. It would be better to practice in a familiar practice room.
Somehow, Seo-jun smiled brightly at the sight of his parents who seemed more excited than himself.
He could tell how much he was loved by their conversation alone.
His heart felt ticklish.
What do you want to put in, Seo-jun?
Um
Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon looked at him with sparkling eyes. Seo-jun thought hard.
A bookshelf for scripts?
That was obvious.
He was satisfied with just a monitor and a camera.
Then, what came to his mind was the movie theater in Rachel Hills mansion.
I cant make it like that, but
Seo-jun opened his mouth. Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon perked up their ears.
A screen to watch movies?
That would be great! We can watch them together.
If we soundproof it, we can watch it with loud sound too!
Lets get movable chairs, fluffy ones, so we can move them aside when Seo-jun practices. He can also sit there and read scripts!
Good. We have to buy a projector.
Lets buy the best one!
Seo-jun burst into laughter at his excited parents.
A new house.
A new school.
They were words that made him nervous and thrilled.

October.
The application period for national art middle schools began.
Seo-jun also printed out an application form from Yeoul Art Middle School website and attached his photo and wrote his name, elementary school name, and phone number.
Major, acting.
While Seo-jun was diligently filling out the application form, Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon looked at the admission process that they hadnt looked at when they decided which school to go to.
The curriculum was important, but they didnt have to worry about the admission process until they chose the school.
They have practical skills and interviews.
It says free acting within two minutes Seo-jun will do well.
To avoid putting pressure on their son, Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon whispered.
But Seo-juns good sense conveyed their words to him exactly.
Of course, Seo-jun was confident too.
I finished writing the application form.
Good. You did well. Should we mail it or visit them?
The three family members fell into thought again.
How about visiting them? We can look around the school too.
Its a weekday, so Ill go.
I want to go too.
Seo-jun and Seo-eun-hye laughed at Lee Min-joons words, who had to go to Monster Studio on weekdays.
He wanted to see the school where his son would attend.
He was curious about what kind of school Seo-jun would spend three years in.
Then lets go together.
Lets look around the school and apply, and then play somewhere else.
Its chilly, so how about watching a movie?
Agreed!
Seo-jun raised his hand quickly.
***
The last day of application for Yeoul Art Middle School.
I guess its not our school.
Yeah.
The staff who were looking at the submitted application forms looked at the piled up forms with regretful eyes.
Is there any school that had an article saying he applied?
I dont know if he hasnt applied yet, or if the school is keeping quiet Theres no article.
The staff who was looking at the internet articles opened his mouth.
Maybe hes thinking of going to a regular middle school?
That would make it hard to film.
Theres no place as good as our school
The door of the application room opened with regret.
A woman who looked like a students mother came in with a smile.
Can I apply here?
Yes. Come this way.
The staff who was in charge of the application called the woman.
The woman took out an application form.
Sometimes there were mistakes on the form, so the staff checked the contents written on the form and froze when he saw the name on it.
There
Ye-yes, yes. Im sorry.
The staff cut out the admission card printed with the application form and handed it to the woman.
You will receive a guide on your phone. Please come on the day of the practical test.
Yes. Thank you.
As soon as the woman who bowed left the application room, the staffs legs gave way.
The people who were doing other work were surprised and ran over.
What, whats wrong?
Are you okay?
Th-this
This? Is this hurting?
Lee Seo-jun!
Lee Seo-jun? What Lee Seo-jun here?
The staff who had collapsed from shock got up and lifted up the application form that had just been submitted.
Everyone looked at him with blank faces.
Lee Seo-jun came to our school!
The name and photo on the application form seemed to shine as if they were special.
The people who checked the form opened their mouths wide.
No matter how many times they checked, the name and photo did not change.
***
Seo-jun liked the school after looking around Yeoul Art Middle School with his mom and dad.
He liked the fact that there was a large stage where students could perform and a practice room where they could practice acting.
Seo-jun, what are you going to do for free acting?
I havent decided yet. Im looking for it now.
Yeoul Art Middle Schools practical test was free acting within two minutes.
It was okay to have self-created dialogue or dialogue from a well-known script.
It was possible to do a monologue alone or a dialogue with someone.
Of course, if the dialogue was awkward, it would look weird as if he was talking to himself.
The score wouldnt be good either.
Two minutes.
It was a short or long time.
Seo-jun looked at the bookshelf full of scripts.
He chuckled unknowingly at the treasure chest-like bookcase.
He felt his heart fill up just by looking at it.
No, not this. What should I do?
Seo-jun wondered what role he should choose among many scripts.
First of all, he decided to exclude the roles he had played before.
It was too easy and it was not fun to show the same acting again.
Lets exclude foreign works.
Seo-jun looked at the scripts of Korean works in front of him and pondered.
Should he choose a role of an adult played by an adult actor or a role of a child played by a child actor?
An adult role wouldnt be good, right?
Then, would it be better to have a cheerful child like the one who appeared in Jaisas cameo or a child filled with sadness?
Seo-juns eyes rolled around and read the titles of the scripts.
He could tell what characters were in them just by reading the titles.
Then, one script caught his eye.
