Chapter 120

    Chapter 120

    Seo-jun stretched his arms wide after finishing his workbook.

    Two days ago, the filming of Over the Rainbow had ended. He had taken a day off yesterday and did nothing. He was told to rest for a few days, but being unusually healthy, Seo-jun was doing this and that.

    He was about to read the book that his aunt Nara had bought him as a gift after finishing his workbook for the day.

    Seo-jun.

    Yes?

    Da-ho came in with a bunch of papers.

    Hmm. The filming was over, but wasnt it too soon to show him the script? Couldnt he rest for a few more days? Brother?

    Even though he thought so, Seo-juns hand naturally reached out and took the script. Hehe. He was curious what kind of script it was.

    But the paper was thinner than he expected. A lot. Was it a synopsis?

    What is it, Da-ho?

    Its from director Ryan.

    Shadowman 3?

    It felt like ages ago when he filmed Shadowman 2. Already, one year, two years four years had passed.

    Was he finally filming it? Seo-jun was excited and flipped a page.

    Its Shadowman 3, but

    Its a cameo.

    He said hell put it in Assemble 2. He said, how about filming it while youre in the US. He said the date doesnt matter.

    Wouldnt it be okay to film it after the post-recording and Jasons recital?

    Really? Then do you want to do that?

    Yes!

    Okay.

    Da-ho left to contact director Ryan and Kings Agency.

    Seo-jun sat on the sofa. He had nothing to do since he wasnt filming or busking. He was bored. He picked up his phone while sitting blankly.

    [I cant say anything because of the confidentiality agreement, but Im touched.]

    [But, its the same as busking, but totally different.]

    #OverTheRainbow#FirstSongAsAnAlbum#ExtraReview

    [So when is the release?]

    The concert that was filmed with ordinary people was raising the expectations of other people with the reviews of the attendees.

    As expected, a subsidiary of Marin. The publicity scale was different. Seo-jun was browsing his SNS when a message arrived. It was Grace Walton, the little witch he met at the Halloween festival.

    -Grace: Noras book started selling yesterday! It took almost two years, I cant believe it.

    Congrats! Oh, Im in LA!

    -Charlie: Is there anyone who doesnt know where Jun is right now?

    -Grace: I know, right The internet is buzzing because youre filming

    -Charlie: Whats the title of the book? Can you buy it in France?

    -Grace: I dont know. Its only sold in the US.

    -Charlie: Is it fun?

    -Grace: Its awesome!

    -Grace: She asked me to write a review.

    Okay!

    Seo-jun jumped up and headed to the kitchen.

    Naras craving for boiled pork made Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon busy. They made kimchi salad and boiled pork with soybean paste with the cabbage and seasoning ingredients they bought from Kings Market.

    It looks delicious.

    Thats the tenth time youve said that. It still needs to boil for another 10 minutes.

    At Seo-eun-hyes words, Nara ate the kimchi salad with chopsticks and only looked at the pot where the boiled pork meat fell off.

    Seo-jun entered the kitchen.

    Mom, can I go to the bookstore?

    Bookstore? Do you have a book you want to buy?

    Yeah! Graces sister wrote a book.

    Seo-eun-hye remembered the girl and her family she met at the Halloween festival two years ago and smiled brightly.

    Really? Then you should buy it and read it. But arent you still a student? Writing a book is amazing.

    Shes going to college next year.

    Thats amazing.

    Nara and her husband were amazed at the young age. Lee Min-joon scooped up the fluffy rice into a bowl and opened his mouth.

    Jason Moore smiled faintly at Benjamin Mortons praise. His gentle smile resembled his master, Benjamin Morton. The kids laughed at his expression that they saw for the first time.

    Catherine and Paul nudged Seo-jun. They had become quite close, but Seo-jun was still the most comfortable with Jason.

    Seo-jun asked, following the kids signal.

    I especially liked the last piece. You composed it, right?

    Yeah.

    Benjamin Morton coughed at the mention of the last piece. It was a piece that expressed his gratitude and admiration for his master, which Seo-jun and the kids could tell.

    Benjamin Mortons eyes were red as he listened to Jason Moores performance. He didnt want to miss a single moment. My disciple is the best.

    As Benjamin Morton wiped his tears that seemed to come out again, Jason, who was holding a bunch of flowers, looked at Seo-jun.

    Next time

    Yes?

    Contact me if you want to learn violin next time.

    Okay! I will!

    He had found a violin teacher with incredible talent and skill.

    Seo-jun and the kids, who were chatting with Professor Jason and Benjamin, gave up their seats when their friends came to the waiting room.

    As he was about to leave the waiting room, Seo-jun peeked his face out and said.

    Ill keep in touch even if nothing happens! Is that okay?

    Jason Moore and Benjamin Morton blinked their eyes and smiled alike.

    Sure. Do as you please.

    Anytime is fine.

    Seo-jun grinned at their cheerful answers.

    ***

    Seo-jun and Ahn Da-ho gasped as they arrived at Marine Studio to shoot the cookie video for Assemble 2, or the trailer for Shadowman 3.

    Swalin Arnham, a famous Hollywood actor, who was walking with Director Ryan Will, waved his hand when he saw them.

    Long time no see since the last film festival party. How have you been?

    Yes! Hello, Swallen!

    Seo-jun greeted him excitedly, his eyes sparkling. Ryan Will and Swalin Arnham smiled, noticing how much he liked Swalin Arnham.

    Seo-jun thought of a character that Swalin Arnham could play in Shadowman.

    The king of Natra, the fearsome invaders of Earth.

    Is Swalin Arnham Jins father?

    Yes.

    Wow!

    Seo-juns eyes sparkled at Director Ryan Wills answer. He was going to be in the same work as Swalin Arnham! It seemed like yesterday that he studied watching the documentary that he starred in! He was so happy that his heart was pounding.

    You know its a secret until the article comes out, right?

    Yes! I wont tell anyone!

    Seo-jun and Ahn Da-ho closed their mouths at the directors words.

    Swalin Arnham smiled and offered a handshake. Seo-jun reached out and shook Swalin Arnhams hand lightly.

    Nice to meet you, son.

    Yes! Me too!

    Seo-jun watched Swalin Arnham head to the dressing room with his eyes shining.

    Is Swalin Arnham really in Shadowman?

    Yes. Weve signed the contract.

    Wow. I really wanted to work with Swallen! Do you know? My favorite documentary is the one that Swallen was in.

    As he was talking excitedly, Seo-jun suddenly felt an empty space. He looked around, but there was no one who should be right next to the director.

    Director. Where did Jonathan go? I dont see him.

    He went independent.

    Independent?

    Seo-jun tilted his head.

    Yes. He wanted to do something too, after I made Shadowman, the movie Ive been dreaming of for 20 years, and it became a series. He went independent a year ago and is making an indie film.

    He never mentioned that when we talked Whats the title of the movie?

    Its still in production. It was the first time he experienced a lack of money, time, and people, since he started following me around when we were shooting Shadowman.

    I see.

    Seo-juns eyes sparkled. He still remembered Jonathan Will, the middle schooler, clearly. He could see his face, tired of the crying of child actors.

    Jonathan Will had started walking the path of a film director, like his uncle.

    Here he comes. Jun. Its your turn.

    Yes.

    Swalin Arnham appeared after finishing his makeup. Seo-jun headed to the dressing room, taking turns with him.

    There were not many staff or actors, as the cookie video was shot on the set.

    When Seo-jun finished his makeup and appeared, Director Ryan Will shouted Action.
