Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 17

Unlike the veteran dad who had caught it in an instant, Brown Black didnt even react.

The empty bottle rolled and stopped.

Hmm. I shouldnt do this to the kids.

Seo-jun looked at Brown Black, who were spaced out, and Seo-eun-chan, who was giggling and saying he had secured enough footage with the surprise camera.

He remembered last night.

***

Lets write down Seo-juns daily routine for the first chapter.

We have to write down the meal times clearly. Hell cry if were even a minute late.

Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon took out an A4 paper and wrote down the daily schedule like a plan. Wake up, eat, play, nap.

Wow, he lives such a simple life, Seo-jun.

Seo-eun-hye laughed at Lee Min-joons remark.

Its not easy to find new games every time, even with a simple schedule. And lately, Seo-jun seems to be bored with playing with me too.

Seo-eun-hye glanced at Seo-jun, who was playing with the twin head ogre by grabbing both sides of its head and pulling it in opposite directions.

Seo-jun flinched, but the couple didnt notice.

Ive been getting bored lately.

A normal baby wouldnt know, but Seo-jun, who had many past lives, was getting tired of playing with dolls every time. And since he was still a baby, he had limited people to meet.

Babies, moms, uncle

He could count them on both hands. But he heard that new people were coming tomorrow.

Seo-jun was excited. Kyaaak! He twisted the head of the twin head ogre.

The doll didnt burst a single thread, whether it was because of the babys weak strength or because Kim Hee-sang made it sturdy.

Lee Min-joon, who was writing down the points to watch out for while taking care of Seo-jun, said.

He must be good at singing if hes an idol.

Hmm. According to Chan, hes been a trainee for a long time, so hes pretty good

Seo-eun-hye recalled Seo-eun-chans words.

Seo-eun-chan sighed and said.

-Theyre all good kids, and they can sing, dance, and rap well, but something feels a bit lacking. Theyre working hard, and the other staff members say theyre doing well, but I dont know.

Seo-eun-chan told his sister everything he couldnt say to the staff and the kids.

He thinks hes the only one who thinks the kids are lacking. He didnt say anything because he thought it might be a silly thought. But he said he really hopes that the lacking part will be filled.

The Cocoa Enter staff members were very nice. Only Seo-eun-chan had a bit of a nagging feeling.

Lee Min-joon tilted his head.

Isnt it because he lacks experience in the field? He can build that up on stage after he debuts.

Maybe.

Oh, this baby food recipe seems wrong.

Oh my. Youre right!

Seo-eun-hye quickly picked up a pen. Seo-jun, who was listening with his ears perked up, thought.

Lacking

It was Seo-eun-chans uncles opinion, but he felt like his uncle was right.

Seo-jun was lost in thought. A four-member male idol group. What was missing?

I hope it goes well for uncle and mom.

Seo-jun fell asleep as he watched his mom and dad prepare until late at night.

Upon opening his eyes, he found himself before the Library of Life. The only door that was open was a blue one.

Wonder if this will open next year?

What books lay beyond the door next to the blue one? There were so many he couldnt remember. Seo-jun crawled into the blue door.

Inside, the library was still a mess. Seo-jun diligently crawled through the scattered and toppled books.

Im sure Ive read this before

He rummaged through the books, searching for [The Little Mimics Tempting Package], recalling he had read books about life related to music.

Seo-jun flipped through each book, reading the titles. There seemed to be a perfect skill for the people coming tomorrow.

Not [The Composition Fairy].

Nor [The Instrument Slime].

Definitely not [The Singing Bug].

Ah, here it is.

He opened a book and, reading the life written within, felt there could be no better skill.

Perfect!

The book sparkled, and round beads seeped into the palms of Seo-juns hands.

He opened his palms to reveal long batons engraved on them.

[Orchestra Conductors Link Lowest Grade]

Regaining his senses, Brown Black handed Seo-jun the only remaining teddy bear and sat around in a circle.

Even a simple YouTube entertainment video needed a main theme.

Brown Black, along with Seo Eun Chan, created a rough sequence of events, like a script.

Now, as filming began, it was time to introduce Brown Black to the viewers and Seo-jun.

Hwang Ye Jun, the MC, pulled out a toy microphone from his bag.

Now, lets start with the introductions!

Clap, clap!

Seo-jun joined in the applause. New faces had arrived in his mundane life.

His heart raced.

Screech!

It seems our Seo-jun is already having fun! First up, the star of this broadcast! Lets introduce Seo-jun!

Park Seo Jin read from the paper given by Seo Eun Hye. Later, during editing, Seo Eun Hye and Lee Min Juns voices would be added.

Name, Lee Seo-jun. Born on March 10th. Already 8 months old. He has two bottom teeth and his favorite play is with dolls.

Wow! Only 8 months old! So young! A real newborn! Next, lets introduce the Brown Black brothers who will be with Seo-jun for the next 48 hours!

Hwang Ye Jun passed the microphone to Park Seo Jin, who waved at Seo-jun. The footage for the viewers would be filmed separately later.

Hello, Seo-jun. Im your brother Park Seo Jin, the leader of Brown Black

Does Seo-jun understand what a leader is?

At Choi Si Yuns words, Park Seo Jin hesitated. Indeed, would he know? Hwang Ye Jun raised his hand.

If were being technical, he probably wont understand the introductions either!

Fine. Just do it.

Im the leader and mainvocal of Brown Black.

He had no idea how to explain to an eight-month-old baby what a leader or a main vocal was.

As expected, Seo-jun turned his head to the side as he listened to Park Seo-jins words.

Huh?

Hwang Ye-jun, Choi Si-yoon, and Kevin burst into laughter.

He doesnt seem to understand anything!

Lets see how well you guys can do.

At Park Seo-jins words, Hwang Ye-jun waved his hand excitedly.

Hi! Seo-jun! Im Hwang Ye-jun, your big brother, and Im the second best singer in Brown Black!

Wow!

Sub-vocal. Hwang Ye-jun spoke cheerfully, and Seo-jun clapped his hands, whether he understood or not. Kevin and Choi Si-yoon also applauded.

Hes smart!

He has a sense of humor! Ye-jun hyung!

Park Seo-jin also closed his mouth and clapped. Ahem. Hwang Ye-juns microphone moved to Kevin.

Hi! Im Kevin Kim and I can talk fast. Im from LA, USA, and both of my parents are Korean. My favorite singer is D. Ray. My favorite food is braised ribs

The rapper went on and on. The only words that reached Seo-juns ears were the first three. Hi! Im Kevin!

Abububu!

Wrong!

Seo-jun slapped the floor with his palm. You cant understand that. Hyung!

Seeing Seo-juns reaction, Hwang Ye-jun crossed his arms and made an X sign. The next turn was Choi Si-yoon.

Hi! Hyung, my name is Choi Si-yoon. My specialty is dancing and uh, I want to show you

No. You cant dance here

If Choi Si-yoon danced, he would move around a lot. If he danced in the living room where the table was in the center, something would surely break. Choi Si-yoon shrugged his shoulders.

Then Ill show you next time!

Clap clap-!

Seo-jun clapped. Dancing. He had seen it on TV, but he wondered what it would be like in real life. He was looking forward to it. At Seo-juns applause, Hwang Ye-jun shouted, Pass!

Ding dong.

Oh, its the alarm.

Choi Si-yoon took out his phone. Choi Si-yoon, who never left his electronic devices, set an alarm for every hour on his phone as soon as he saw Seo-juns daily schedule.

Its time for Seo-jun to take a nap.

Wheres the blanket?

Park Seo-jin came out of the room with the blanket. Seo-juns blanket was laid on one side of the living room.

Kevin, who was holding Seo-jun for the second time, carefully lifted him up with a teddy bear and laid him on the blanket.

Slowly from the legs. His hands trembled a little, but he safely placed Seo-juns head on the pillow.

As soon as he lay down on the blanket, Seo-jun stretched out his arms and grabbed Kevins cheeks, who was leaning over to lay him down.

Slap-!

No, he hit him.

[Using the connection of the orchestra conductor.(1/4)]

Huh?

Brown Blacks eyes turned to Kevin. Kevin touched his slightly reddened cheeks with his palms.

A tiny and soft babys palm touched his cheek. Kevin rubbed his cheek for a moment and smiled.

Seo-jun seems to like me a lot, huh?

Seeing that, Hwang Ye Jun, who was unpacking his luggage, quickly came to Seo-juns side.

Seo-jun. Bro. Give me a high five too!

Hwang Ye Jun leaned his face in, but Seo-jun raised both his hands and slapped Hwang Ye Juns cheek.

[Using the connection of the orchestra conductor.(2/4)]

Hmm. I think I hit him harder than Kevin hyung. Seo-jun clenched and unclenched his slightly hot fists. Fun.

Contrary to Seo-juns thoughts, Hwang Ye Jun was smiling happily.

He likes me more, see? Look. Its totally red!

Choi Si Yoon and Park Seo Jin also came to Seo-juns blanket and leaned their faces in. They looked like cat owners who wanted to play with their kittens.

Seo-jun was wondering who to high five first, when he saw Choi Si Yoon, who had promised to show him a dance. He slapped Choi Si Yoons cheek first. Then he slapped Park Seo Jins cheek.

[Using the connection of the orchestra conductor.(3/4)]

[Using the connection of the orchestra conductor.(4/4)]

Seo-juns affection ranking is out!

Hwang Ye Jun said, looking at the camera that Seo Eun Chan was holding. He laughed loudly and raised both his arms, as if he was bragging to Seo Eun Chan or the future viewers.

Seo Eun Chan and Kim Hwa Ryeon, who were in charge of filming and couldnt appear on the screen, looked at Seo-jun, who was lying under the blanket, with envious eyes.

First place is me, Hwang Ye Jun!

I was the first one to get hit, though?

Kevin said, and Hwang Ye Jun snorted. He pushed his barely visible cheek, which was red with excitement, to the camera lens on the table.

Come on, you see this? This red cheek! Its filled with Seo-juns love, so Im redder than you!

NO! I was the first one.

Park Seo Jin, who was the last one to get hit, was silent with frustration, and Choi Si Yoon, the youngest, patted Seo-juns stomach, who had chosen him before Park Seo Jin.

Kevin and Hwang Ye Jun argued back and forth. Then they dramatically compromised. Hwang Ye Jun and Kevin held each others hands and lifted them up.

Then, joint first place! Hwang Ye Jun, Kevin Kim! Third place Choi Si Yoon! Fourth place Park Seo Jin!

The two members, who were waving their hands and jumping around, made Park Seo Jin whisper.

This is just the first impression.

The members eyes turned to him at Park Seo Jins words. Park Seo Jin smiled meaningfully.

The real affection ranking will be confirmed on the last day.

Will I be the first place then?!

Okay. Its a challenge!

Im number one now and later!

The members were fired up by Park Seo Jins challenge.

Seo-jun, who was covered with a blanket and lying down, slowly closed his eyes. He giggled. It was fun, even though it was only a few hours.

They were really interesting hyungs. He was looking forward to the evening time after he woke up from his nap, and tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. It would be a very exciting two days!

Ah, Seo-jun is sleeping.

Brown Black, who was burning with enthusiasm, became quiet in an instant. They all sat around Seo-juns blanket without making a sound.

We must be funny. He keeps laughing.

Right. Hes really cute.

Through his blurry vision, he saw the brown-black faces around him. Numbers floated above the brown-black members who occupied all four sides of his blanket.

Both numbers were high.

The number that represented the bond between Seo-jun and the brown-black members, the Conductor Bond, was high. And the number that represented the bond among the brown-black members, the Connector Bond, was also high.

Even though they had not known each other for long, he could tell how much the brown-black members liked Seo-jun. And they seemed to get along very well with each other too.

With both bonds being high, it was certain that he would have a skill improvement up to the limit of 1.3 times.

It was a good thing. Seo-jun fell asleep soundly after seeing their affection with his own eyes.

Seeing Seo-juns closed eyes, the brown-black members lifted their heads and looked at the clock. It was exactly nap time.

Hes really accurate.

The members looked at the schedule again, impressed by Seo-juns body clock and the precision of the timetable.
