Chapter 76
Here, try these on.
Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da-ho took out hats, masks, and colorful clothes from their bags. Seo-jun stared at the clothes they had taken out.
I dont know much about fashion, but I just wear the clothes that mom and dad give me, but this is a bit too much.
His lips puckered at the eye-hurting yellow and blue primary colors, clothes that even kindergarteners wouldnt wear.
Im not wearing this.
No, Seo-jun. You have to wear this.
He thought it was a joke as always, but when Seo Eun-chan said it with a serious face, Seo-jun and his parents tilted their heads.
Whats wrong? Whats going on?
Seo Eun-chan frowned and Ahn Da-ho sighed without realizing it.
The reporters are all over the airport. If Seo-jun wants to go to the film festival in the US, he has to take a plane, so they found out the schedules of the planes that arrive in the east coast, the west coast, or the ones that stop over, and they seem to plan to wait until the awards ceremony.
You can think of them waiting at the airport for almost 24 hours.
The parents and Seo-jun were speechless. Seeing that, Seo Eun-chan took out his phone. The screenshots of the photos and comments on the smartphone screen were shown.
SNS is crazy. Let the kid go comfortably. Its a big deal if Seo-jun gets hurt. Cocoa Entertainment should hire bodyguards.
They already did.
Wow.
The parents and Seo-jun, who were just happy to go to the US, closed their mouths and listened to Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da-hos story. Seo Eun-chan rubbed his head as if he had a headache.
I see some signs of that, so I think we should go to the US as soon as possible. If you wear these clothes, people will think theres no way its Seo-jun, right?
Some signs?
They start by taking pictures of the kids first. Especially the ones who cover their faces and wear hats, the reporters who take pictures of kids who are as big as Seo-jun are starting to show up.
Thats a big deal.
Then why dont you just tell them the day youre going?
The four people looked at Seo-jun, who asked. Seo-jun pushed the clothes that his uncle and brother brought with his feet and said.
Then the airport guests wont be uncomfortable, and there wont be any other kids getting photographed. Wouldnt it be okay if you just get ready and go?
I dont want to wear these clothes either.
Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da-ho thought about Seo-juns words. Then they sighed.
Thats true, but Im worried because Seo-jun hasnt met the reporters and fans up close like that.
More than at the fan meeting?
It would be less than that, but the fan meeting was all people who liked Seo-jun. And they were all sitting in their seats and it was safe. But the airport doesnt have that kind of boundary, so Im worried that Seo-jun might get crushed by people because hes small.
Was it an illusion that the word small sounded loud? Seo-jun, who was the tallest in his class, said.
Im fine. Anyway, there will be a lot of reporters at the film festival, and there will be a lot of reporters when I come back from the US! I think of it as a trial in advance, what!
Seo Eun-chans gaze turned to the parents. Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon were lost in thought.
Is Seo-jun safe?
Well have a lot of bodyguards, and itll be okay if we cooperate with the airport. Well set up a photo zone separately.
What do you think is better, Eun-chan?
If its possible to control it, it would be better to just reveal it. If we sneak in without people knowing, the bodyguards will have to stick less, so it would be more dangerous if someone notices.
Then lets just reveal it.
With the permission of the parents and Seo-jun, Seo-juns departure date and time were uploaded to Seo-juns fan cafe.
The announcement was soon turned into an article, and the reporters who were waiting at the airport also left one by one.
Some reporters doubted it, but they all withdrew, thinking they wouldnt deceive the fans.
The airport was peaceful again.
The day came when they had to leave for the WTV film festival. Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da-ho, who were going to the US with them, came to Seo-juns house.
Sister and brother-in-law are already at the airport.
As they checked for any missing items, turned off the gas, and checked the gifts for their acquaintances, Seo-jun tilted his head at Seo Eun-chans words.
Do we have to go first?
Yeah. They dont know sister and brother-in-laws faces, so itll be okay. If we go with Seo-jun, our faces will be in the pictures, and itll be hard for the bodyguards to focus on Seo-jun if they have to protect two more people.
Oh, I see.
The parents nodded. Seo Eun-chan crossed his arms and sighed.
The fans are also talking to each other to be careful in the fan cafe, so I feel a little relieved But Im still worried.
Its okay!
Seo-jun smiled brightly and said.
The fans are so nice!
Well. Theyre nice when you meet them one by one, but when they gather in a group, they get excited and you never know what will happen.
It was obvious that a situation would arise where they would follow whoever moved a little. Crowd psychology was scary.
Seo Eun-chan shivered as he recalled the day of Brown Blacks departure and arrival.
Seo-jun giggled and grabbed his wrist. He already had a plan.
***
Is that car, Chans?
It looks like it? Wow. That must be really expensive
Hes a Hollywood star, after all.
A sleek black car slid into the airport. Outside, the reporters waiting for it pressed their shutters incessantly, and the fans standing with them screamed. The bodyguards who had been on standby headed toward the car.
There are so many fans. Hes a Hollywood actor, but I thought there wouldnt be many fans coming to the airport since hes a child actor.
Hes not just any child actor. Hes Seo-jun Lee, the special one. Everyone has cried because of William or been overwhelmed by Baby Shaman. And there are many people who became fans because of his acting in Jin Natra. When they see his acting, they must want to see him in person at least once.
The two reporters kept pressing their shutters as they talked. Even if they just uploaded the pictures of that big car with the title Seo-jun Lee, they wouldnt have to worry about the views.
The bodyguards took their positions, and soon the thick car door opened. A man who looked like a manager got out, followed by Seo-jun in a pastel-toned casual outfit.
He smiled brightly in clothes that were much better than the childish ones he wore before. His smile made the cameras flash and the cheers erupt.
An-da-ho held Seo-juns hand tightly and moved slowly through the bodyguards.
Seo-jun smiled brightly, waving his hand diligently at his name that popped up everywhere. His movement made the wolf-shaped backpack on his back sway.
Is that a Monster Company backpack? Theyve grown a lot too. Someone took a picture of Seo-juns pencil case and posted it on the internet, and it sold out too.
Thats Seo-juns fathers company. The co-CEO is his fathers friend.
The two people holding the cameras didnt stop their hands as they talked. The fans and the reporters followed Seo-juns movement into the airport.
The airport had prepared a different passage so that the customers wouldnt be harmed.
Those clothes will sell a lot too. These days, metal badges are out, and Seo-juns fans who couldnt use Monster Company products because they were for kids started buying them too. Oh, that one.
A shiny badge on the wolf-shaped backpack on Seo-juns back was visible. It was a wolf with sharp teeth. The two people zoomed in and took a picture of the badge.
People say that parents buy a lot of things that Seo-jun uses. Its a product that a Hollywood star uses, and he doesnt even do commercials, so its more trustworthy because its what he actually uses.
Its amazing that he doesnt do them even though they offer him a lot of money.
The bodyguards passed by with Seo-jun and An-da-ho. Seo-juns name was called everywhere in the airport.
People who were going to leave the country or enter the country were drawn to the crowd and wondered who it was. They peeked their heads out or searched the internet. Seo-jun?! Where did that sound come from and people gathered and gathered.
The tension grew among the bodyguards as more and more people gathered. They tensed up their bodies. An-da-ho was ready to pick up Seo-jun and run if necessary.
When he felt the strength in the hand that An-da-ho held, Seo-jun chuckled and touched his wrist.
[(Pre) Calming Apple Blossom Scent-Medium Level- is activated.]
[(Pre) Calming Apple Blossom Scent-Medium Level]
It is the flower of the apple tree that puts people into eternal sleep.
Unlike the poisonous fruit (apple), the flower only has a calming effect.
You feel calm when you smell the scent.
When the apple blossoms fall and you eat the fruit, the apple, it becomes poison. There is a story that a princess of a certain country ate that apple and never woke up. But the scent of the apple blossom is made into perfume and used as a sedative, so it became a good medicine for people.
This is perfect for this situation!
A sweet scent began to flow from the white apple blossom pattern on his wrist. And he adjusted his breathing to make the effect more effective.
Something started to spew out of Seo-jun, who had been ordinary until a moment ago.
The reporters and fans who had been watching Seo-jun with their cameras noticed the change. They all gasped at the aura that flowed from Seo-juns body.
Look at that charisma. Hes just standing there, but he feels completely different from ordinary people.
Not many celebrities have that kind of vibe either.
The fans who also took pictures of other celebrities and posted them on SNS nodded their heads in agreement with the reporters words.
There were celebrities who clearly showed their star quality even when they wore shabby clothes, but there were also celebrities who made people wonder who they were even when they dressed up.
Seo-jun, who was only eight years old, was a celebrity that anyone could see shining brightly.
Its amazing. Hes so different even when he passes by, how can he live normally?
Sniff. But where does the flower scent come from?
Flower scent? Sniff sniff. I dont smell anything.
The fans and reporters who had been taking pictures of Seo-jun with their big cameras sniffed at the sweet scent.
The footsteps that had been pressing toward Seo-jun stopped. The heat that had been heating up the airport slowly subsided.
Their hearts calmed down as they smelled the sweet flower scent. But they couldnt completely cool down their passion, so they calmly pressed their shutters.
The bodyguards and An-da-ho, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief after smelling the flower scent. They calmly and coolly continued their security.
They decided to have a short interview and take pictures on the stage prepared at one side of the airport.
When Seo-jun grabbed the microphone and went up on the stage, some of the people who couldnt hear the ability shouted, but they felt embarrassed by the calm atmosphere except for themselves and closed their mouths.
There were few people who smelled the apple blossom scent, but the crowd psychology that Seo-eun-chan was worried about worked in reverse, and they all closed their mouths and stayed quiet.
It really works well!
He greeted them with a relaxed mind and was going to leave for America. Seo-jun smiled brightly, and the camera lenses turned to Seo-jun. The sound of click-click and the flash went off.
Hello. Im Seo-jun Lee.
Seo-jun bowed.
The fans who saw him in person for the first time held their hearts and wanted to scream as much as they wanted, but the flower scent stopped them.
The fans hearts fought hard between the happy feeling of meeting Seo-jun and the ability that made them calm. In the end, the agreed heart moved both hands, and a loud applause sound burst out everywhere.
Clap clap-!!
The bodyguards and reporters were rather puzzled by the reaction of the well-behaved fans. Some reporters even turned their cameras to the fans.
A security guard who came out of the airport tilted his head. What should I say? It was a peaceful feeling. There was no one running or screaming. He wondered if they were considerate because he was a child actor.
Everyone is so quiet.
I wish it was like this every day.
Even if it was just Brown Black, who belonged to the same agency, the airport would be in chaos whenever they showed up. The bodyguards who had experienced such situations were nervous, but they also did their job diligently while being bewildered.
One of the reporters asked Seo-jun a question as a representative. The questions they could ask an eight-year-old child actor who had no scandals or problematic incidents were similar no matter who asked them, so they all took out their laptops without much competition.
How do you feel about being nominated for the film festival?
It was something I never expected, so my heart is racing! Thank you to everyone who voted for me! Even if I dont win this time, Ill work hard to win next time!
Seo-jun answered with a clenched fist and a bright-eyed expression, and a squeal of delight was heard from here and there, but soon they closed their mouths in embarrassment at the sight of the people who had no reaction.
Only the sound of applause echoed in the airport.
Some of the reporters who were puzzled by the quiet response turned their heads and looked at the fans, and swallowed their saliva.
It wasnt that bad They bit their lips hard, but they felt the passion that spewed from the fans sparkling eyes and the clapping hands that hurt their palms. And they felt the inexplicable frenzy from the still bodies.
A few more questions followed and a short photo time passed. There was no loud scream or oppressive atmosphere, but they all moved their fingers diligently. Click-click. Only the sound of the shutter rang in the quiet.
The bodyguards and An-da-ho sighed with relief at the safe atmosphere and admired the fans self-restraint for Seo-jun. My goodness! There are fans like this too!
It was time to head to the departure hall. As he walked with one hand held by An-da-ho, Seo-jun couldnt take his eyes off the fans and waved his hand diligently.
The distance between the fans and Seo-jun gradually widened. As the source of the scent got farther and farther away, the voices that had been suppressed by the fans popped out from here and there.
Seo-jun! Win the award!
I voted with my mom and dad too!
But thanks to the flower scent that floated in the air, the quiet atmosphere didnt break. Even without expressing it with cheers, Seo-jun recognized the fans hearts through their sparkling eyes and smiled brightly.
Thank you! Ill be back soon!
The fans who were moved by the sight of Seo-jun waving his hand until he disappeared beyond the departure hall covered their mouths. Hes so cute!
[Seo-jun Lee leaves for the US to attend the WTV Film Festival!]
[Today is the day. The airport security guards view of the fans attitude!]
[Monster Companys products never miss a day!]
[Seo-juns airport fashion! How much is it?]
Seo-juns departure was a hot topic, but so was the attitude of Seo-juns fans.
They showed their love for Seo-jun in the quietness and everyone applauded them.
[Title: Today was really amazing.]
I went on a trip and came back to Korea today. It happened to be Seo-juns departure time, so I waited to see his face and go.
I use the airport a lot for work, so I see celebrities leaving and entering a lot, but it was never such a mess.
They hold up their phone cameras and the celebrities and bodyguards get pushed by the fans. They even block the gate. Its no joke. So I didnt go near and watched from afar
Contrary to expectations, it was so quiet.
The number of people gathered was similar to famous idols, but it was really quiet. It seemed like there was a loud noise, but it soon became quiet.
I only heard the reporters questions, the camera sounds, and Seo-juns voice.
The response was only applause It wasnt that they were indifferent. How should I put it, it felt like the only response we were allowed was applause You could see their faces were really moved and heart-fluttering, but they didnt scream or approach
Seo-juns fan, really amazing.
-Its probably because hes young. There was a post on the fan cafe saying that. They said to refrain from going to the airport and screaming.
=There arent many fans who follow that post, but theyre really united.
Before the plane took off, Seo-jun looked at the internet articles and left a post on the fan cafe.
The fans left comments saying they cried and that it was okay if he didnt win the award, and to be careful and come back safely.
