Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 298

Today was Seo-juns fan meeting.

He planned to fix his hair and makeup again at the venue, but Seo-jun checked his appearance in the mirror, adjusting his hair and clothes. 

He felt a different kind of excitement than when he was filming.

Anh Da Ho, who checked the time, called Seo-jun.

Seo-jun, lets go now.

Okay.

Seo-jun left the house with Anh Da Ho and got in the car.

Anh Da Ho turned on the music as he grabbed the steering wheel. 

Seo-jun tapped his feet and sang along to the familiar song. 

It was a song by White, a group under Cocoa Entertainment, the same as Seo-jun. 

He was going to sing it at the fan meeting today.

As he was singing, Seo-jun suddenly remembered something and asked Anh Da Ho.

Hyung, did you move all the gifts?

They should have moved them by now.

Do you think we have enough?

We have some extra, so dont worry.

Anh Da Ho said with a smile.

Seo-jun, you just focus on having fun with your fans.

Seo-jun smiled brightly at his reliable managers words.

***

A car arrived at the fan meeting venue with Kang Tae Young, who wore a hat and a mask, and his manager Joo Yong Jin, who looked tired and yawned.

Kang Tae Young got out of the car and said to Joo Yong Jin.

Hyung, Ill call you when its over.

Dont take off your hat and mask.

I know.

If you get caught, go straight to Seo-jun. I already contacted his manager.

I know.

Do you have a schedule tonight, so hurry up Kang Tae Young. Are you listening?

No! Hyung, see you later!

Kang Tae Young, who couldnt wait any longer after seeing the sprouts gathered in front of the fan meeting venue, ran to the venue. 

Joo Yong Jin watched his back and rubbed his forehead.

Seo-juns photo cards for you!

Slogan for those who applied!

Transparent photo cards from my doctor!

The front of the actor Lee Seo-juns fan meeting venue was bustling. 

Song Yu Jung and Im Ye-na, who came to the venue with ease after finishing their college midterms, also went around and got free goods and bought official goods.

Song Yu Jungs eyes sparkled as she filled her paper bag with her fandom spirit.

A light stick. Is there no light stick?

The light stick was the flower of goods.

There was nothing cooler than a light stick that shone brightly with a central control device.

Song Yu Jung scanned the fan meeting venue sharply. 

Im Ye-na shook her head.

Some actors have them, but most dont. Seo-jun doesnt either.

Should I make one?

Are you going to wave it while watching the drama?

Im Ye-na chuckled.

You wont have time to wave it when you watch Seo-juns work.

That was true, so Song Yu Jung nodded. But as a former idol fan, she couldnt give up on the light stick. 

She dragged Song Yu Jung around the venue while thinking.

But they do accept gifts at fan meetings.

Song Yu Jung, who was resting for a while after walking around diligently, asked Im Ye-na. Song Yu Jung and Im Ye-na had paper bags in their hands with gifts for Seo-jun. Im Ye-na answered Song Yu Jungs question.

This is something that each individual prepares a little bit, so I guess Cocoa Entertainment is okay with it. Were not giving him anything too expensive either.

But he doesnt do fan meetings very often either.

They were startled by a sudden voice that interrupted them. 

Im Yeon smiled brightly and handed badges to them.

Here, take these.

A long time ago, on Seo-juns first fan meeting day.

She received a badge from a fan who walked ahead of her with a baby picture of Seo-jun from Elephant Milk shooting on it.

Thank you!

Song Yu Jung and Im Ye-na took the badges with sparkling eyes. 

They looked just like her in the past, so Im Yeon smiled warmly.

Lets cheer for our Seo-jun hard!

Yes!

Um, excuse me. Can I have one too?

A man wearing a hat and a mask came up to them and hesitated for a moment. 

Im Yeon looked at him and nodded.

He had products from Monster Co., which Seo-jun wore, all over his clothes. 

And his shoes were sneakers that Seo-jun wore in Bomdol this time. 

He didnt look like an unwelcome guest or someone who would sell them to others.

Here you go.

Thank you! Here! Ill give you this!

The man, who took the badge with a baby picture of Seo-jun, brightened his voice and handed out three photo cards from his paper bag. 

They were pictures of Seo-jun smiling brightly in a Bomdol uniform. Im Yeon, Song Yu Jung, and Im Ye-na clutched their hearts.

He was just a sprout who loved Seo-jun, even though he covered his face.

Thank you!

See you later!

The man, who cherished the badge, ran around and exchanged free photo cards and goods with other fans.

The fans who hesitated a bit because of his masked face recognized the photo cards and sneakers that he offered and relaxed.

Are the photo cards a bait?

Thats smart.

Im Yeon left to find Park Sung Ah, and Song Yu Jung and Im Ye-na cherished the badge with the baby picture of Seo-jun.

But Ive never seen this image before.

Is it a hidden picture?

The sprouts who received the photo cards from the man tilted their heads.

***

Knock knock.

Seo-jun, who was practicing singing in the waiting room, raised his voice at the knock.

Come in.

At Seo-juns words, the door opened and the Mirror Team, actors Yang Ju Hee, Kang Jae Han, Park Si Young, and Jeon Sung Min came in with excited faces.

Wow. There are so many people out there.

Its Seo-jun, so he has to do this much! There are probably more fans who couldnt come.

Did you ride our Bubble car?

Its a celebrity car. It was really nice.

The waiting room became noisy in an instant. The staff of Team 2 who came in with Anh Da Ho and the Mirror Team smiled.

The kids who took a break in the waiting room opened their bags and took out their scripts. 

They were nervous even though they practiced until yesterday. 

Seo-jun also took out his script.

Shall we do one last practice?

I dont know if I can do well with more audience than the graduation performance.

We have rehearsal time, so its okay. Of course we cant do everything, but we can do some parts.

The kids nodded at Seo-juns words.

Then lets do the hardest part.

Which part is the most difficult?

I think its when we all appear together.

Seo-jun nodded at Jeon Sung Mins words.

They were fans of Seo-jun, so they had seen both the novel Mirror and the play Mirror. 

And they repeated it several times. 

They had to make the play Mirror feel natural and yet alien, knowing the twist.

Yeah. Lets rehearse that scene. We practiced considering the twist, so we just have to do as much as we practiced.

The children nodded at Seo-juns words.

Seo-jun and the children did a script reading in the waiting room and went up to the stage that was ready. 

They checked their movements and acted out the last scene.

-Ahhhhhh!!!

The staff and agency employees who were watching the rehearsal stage of the Mirror team rubbed their arms with goosebumps.

Kim Jin-woo, who had water from a teacup on his face, was screaming in pain.

Ive seen it a lot on YouTube, but its different from seeing it in real life.

Besides, this is just a rehearsal. The real stage will be more amazing.

I wish I could watch it if it wasnt for work!

They expressed their admiration, but their eyes did not leave the stage.

There were actors who filled the wide stage with their presence with every line and movement.

***

Were entering!

Take a gift! One per person!

The entrance began.

Song Yu-jung and Im Ye-na received paper bags from the staff with excited faces. They couldnt see it here, so they hurried to the seats. Song Yu-jung and Im Ye-na, who sat down, opened the paper bags.

Is this a photo card?

Open it!

At Im Ye-nas enthusiasm, Song Yu-jung held her pounding heart and carefully opened the paper envelope. 

I have to keep this envelope too! 

She gently took out the card inside and saw a picture of baby Seo-jun smiling brightly. There was Seo-juns signature in the corner of the photo.

Im jealous! 48 hours Seo-jun!

Im Ye-nas eyes sparkled at Song Yu-jungs photo card. 

According to the analysis of fans who watched 48 Hours over and over again, it seemed to be baby Seo-jun from a scene that was not edited out.

Im Ye-na also quickly took out her photo card.

Is that Choi Eun-yul?

Song Yu-jung stared blankly at the photo card that came into Im Ye-nas hand.

It seemed that they took new photos for this photo card, Seo-jun, no, Choi Eun-yul was smiling softly in the photo wearing the same clothes as in the audition video.

Even if they liked the same actor Lee Seo-jun and liked different works, they had their favorite character and work.

Song Yu-jung, who became a fan of Choi Eun-yul, and Im Ye-na, who became a fan of 48 Hours, looked at each other and silently handed each other their photo cards.

The suspicious man, Kang Tae-young, who was sitting next to Im Ye-na, looked at them enviously.

Please. Please!

Kang Tae-young held the paper envelope with the photo card and closed his eyes and prayed. 

He slowly took out the photo card. 

The bright smile of Prince Sung-nyeongs mother appeared.

Kang Tae-young clenched his mouth.

Kang Tae-youngs favorite was Prince Sung-nyeongs mother.

***

He felt an atmosphere of excitement in the audience.

Behind the curtain, Seo-jun smiled as he sat on a chair prepared on the stage.

I hope you all liked it.

He chose photos that had not been released from among the photos taken by mom, dad, and Da-ho hyung for this signed photo card with eight photos.

It was hard to choose because there were so many photos.

He hoped that everyone would not be disappointed and that they would be their favorite roles.

Tae-young hyung. Did he come?

He remembered Kang Tae-young, who asked if he could use a photo taken during Spring Breeze filming as a photo card. He wondered how it turned out.

He was nervous even though he had other thoughts. 

A pleasant tension enveloped his body. Seo-jun tapped his feet a few times nervously.

It cant be helped.

Seo-jun smiled softly as he held the microphone.

He wanted to do better and show off his cool side. 

He wanted to be loved by his fans and liked by the public. 

Seo-jun was infinitely weak in front of people who loved him and his acting.

He took a deep breath as he noticed the atmosphere on the other side of the slowly fading curtain.

Good.

Seo-juns eyes sparkled as he wrapped his violin around him.

[(Line) Elfs Basic Breathing is activated.]

[(Line) One-legged Harpys Song is activated.]

[(Line) One-legged Harpys Song-Intermediate]

You can produce high and low notes that are not possible due to your physical structure.

Your voice becomes sweet.

Your musical skills improve.

Your volume is amplified.

The one-legged harpy, who was hunted for its strange appearance and sold to the circus, was able to return to where it originally lived with its beautiful song. 

It was a song that turned even the greedy nobles heart.

Seo-jun activated his ability and turned off the microphone.

Its better to listen directly than to listen through the speaker.

Seo-jun signaled to the back and the curtain that was blocking the front slowly rose.

***

The curtain slowly rose.

The chair in the center of the stage and Seo-jun sitting on the chair were visible.

Seo-jun, wearing black shoes, black slacks, a white shirt, and holding a microphone, half-sitting on the chair.

The lights that lit up the entire stage slowly gathered to Seo-jun. 

The cheers erupted at the sight of Seo-jun shining alone under the white light.

Seo-jun smiled at the fans reactions.

The music flowed.

The prelude flowed and Seo-jun, who had turned off the microphone, opened his mouth near his mouth.

The speaker is too good?

They could only think that far as Seo-juns voice pierced their ears.

The fans, the staff nearby, and the related people were immersed in Seo-juns song without exception.

The song with lyrics saying that he was happy to meet you and that he wanted to be happy together made the fans eyes red.

Song Yu-jung and Im Ye-na, who were surprised to recognize actor Kang Tae-young sitting next to them, soon forgot about Kang Tae-youngs g and immersed themselves in the song.

Seo-juns sweet voice echoed in the fan meeting hall.

With his vocalization honed by acting and theater, his excellent musical sense, his delicate emotional expression, and his ability added, he was no less than a singer.

Behind the stage, a little away, Yang Ju-hee admired.

Seo-jun would have succeeded if he had been an idol.

At Yang Ju-hees words, both the Mirror team children and Cocoa Entertainment employees nodded their heads. 

Especially, the employees who had worked in the singer team thought so too.

The song ended and the fan meeting hall was immersed in afterglow.

Seo-jun looked around the audience filled with fans for a moment and smiled brightly.

Hello. Sprout fans. Im actor Lee Seo-jun.

Soon cheers rang out.

Seo-jun shone more than ever today.

The cheers were louder than ever at Seo-juns sparkling appearance.

Im really grateful that you came today. On my way here, my manager hyung told me. He said I should just have fun with my fans. So Im going to have fun today. I hope you all have fun and enjoy today too. Um. Im going to do this fan meeting without an MC today

Seo-jun smiled and walked forward.

Please understand if I dont do well. Im really happy to see you sprouts for a longer time.

The sprouts held their hearts at Seo-juns eye smile.

The second curtain behind Seo-jun slowly came down as he signaled behind him and as Seo-jun approached the audience in front of him, the sprouts sitting in row 1 stopped breathing without knowing it.

Lee Seo-jun today shone more than ever.

He thought it was a plain black slacks and white shirt, but it wasnt.

It was Kim Jin-woos clothes, a doctor with a double personality, no.

The news of an unexpected play made the fan meeting hall explode.

***

A notice was posted on [Sprout First] when the fan meeting was about to start.

It was a notice for sprouts all over the world, not just Korea.

[Notice: We are giving away photo cards with Seo-juns signature by lottery. Please apply by next week.]

And eight sample photo cards were uploaded.

They were pictures of him from babyhood to now, and they were photos that had not been released.
