Chapter 117


    Choi Yoo-seong and Natalie sat nervously in the cafeteria, waiting for the upload of channel [RAINBOW].


    I dont know about the others, but this person must have filmed it well.


    Yeah. Lets trust them.


    Meanwhile, posts about todays busking were uploaded on SNS.


    [It was really touching today. The music students were nice, but the violin boys performance was amazing. It was a simple but happy music that made me feel good just by listening. No one knew the title of the song. Im just waiting for the YouTube upload. I hope Rainbow filmed it.]


    #Devilish talent #Violin boy #Busking week 8 #Only trust Rainbow!


    [The first performance was shocking in a bad way. Why did he do that when he was doing well untilst week? But thest performance was shocking in a good way, so Im d. If not, I would have grabbed the teachers cor ;)]


    #Devilish talent #Violin boy #Whos the teacher? #Be d!


    Agreed.


    Me too.


    Choi Yoo-seong and Natalie unwittinglymented on the posts. If it wasnt for the second performance, they might have dragged the boy to his teacher.


    Its up!


    As expected, Rainbow!


    They turned on the YouTube site on theirptop screen and entered channel [RAINBOW].


    A new video popped up. Choi Yoo-seong and Natalie held their pounding hearts and pressed the y button.


    Will we be in it?


    Well maybe?


    It was Rainbows video that came up without editing.


    Meanwhile, the violin boys performance began. The bow moved greatly. Choi Yoo-seong and Natalie smiled at the boys shining posture, more than ever.


    Its good.


    Yeah. Its still so good to listen to.


    Like then, the boy sparkled. He shone as if he was receiving the spotlight alone.


    Thankful and happy. Choi Yoo-seong and Natalie felt like they were being eroded by the emotion that came out of his body.


    In the meantime, Choi Yoo-seong and Natalie felt a subtle feeling. A familiarity that seemed to have seen somewhere. Something that seemed toe up, but didnte up, like a sneeze.


    Is it because I see him every week?


    As the two pondered, the boys performance continued. They decided to listen to the performance first and fell into the performance again.


    Choi Yoo-seong and Natalie, who had heard the performance directly, realized that it was soon over. They were sorry. They regretted. They wished he would y longer. Longer.


    The boys performance ended and theptop screen turned ck.


    Choi Yoo-seong pressed the screen to watch the video again with a regretful heart. The y button and the videos y time appeared below the screen. He was puzzled by the remaining y time as he was about to press it.


    [What do you need to make music?]


    A girls voice was heard. The girl spoke in a dull tone, as if she was just rying someones words.


    Huh?


    At the unexpected appearance of the voice, Choi Yoo-seong, who was holding the mouse to listen again, and Natalie, who was going to upload the appreciation on SNS, stared nkly at theptop screen.


    [Talent?]


    The face of a brightly smiling girl was reflected on the screen. The girl was looking at the side, not the camera.


    [Effort?]


    This time it was a boy. The boy, who was smiling broadly, was also looking in the same direction as the girl. The screen slowly turned to the side.


    [No,]


    There was a boy who was smiling shyly where the two children were looking. The boy, who was holding a small violin, smiled like a flower.


    Choi Yoo-seong and Natalies eyes widened. It was the face that he always hid with a baseball cap, but the two recognized him at once. The atmosphere was the same. It was the first time they saw the bare face of the violin boy.


    [Money.]


    At the end of the girls voice, white letters filled the ck screen.


    [OVER THE RAINBOW]


    [Coming soon this year]


    [Whale Studio]


    [Seo-jun Lee. Catherine Miller. Paul Oden.]


    Even after the video ended and the rey button popped up, Choi Yoo-seong and Natalie couldnte to their senses. Their brains seemed to have a hard time epting what had just happened. Uh, so


    Seo-jun Lee?!


    You mean Lee Seo-jun?!


    Screams popped up all over the cafeteria. Other students who were interested in the stories of the students who had seen the busking directly and were waiting for the video to appear on YouTube were also shocked by the unimaginable event.


    The news of the Asian boy with devilish talent made theizens of Korea, China, Japan, and other countries stop their hands, wondering which countrys child he was, and they were going to burn their enthusiasm again after watching the 8th week video.


    SNS, which was burning in all kinds ofnguages, became quiet as if water was poured on it.


    Not to mention China and Japan, which didnt know he was a child of another country, but even Koreanizens who knew he was Korean lost their words.


    -???


    -I didnt know, but I think I learned the alphabet wrong.


    =Me too. I guess I learned it wrong with you or maybe the alphabet notation changed?


    =33333 ???


    Is this what it means to not believe it even though you see it? People who were reading thements that came up nkly came to their senses with a bang at onement.


    -? Seo-jun? Why are you there?


    -Right?! Lee Seo-jun! I thought it was a namesake!?


    -Why is Lee Seo-jun here? Someone exin!!


    -Wasnt it busking? No, why suddenly a movie? Lee Seo-jun?


    It took only a few seconds to figure out the situation with their frozen heads. The people who were watching the video screamed in reality and started writing.


    The inte flipped over. And Korea flipped over with the unexpected appearance of Lee Seo-jun.


    NEW! Lee Seo-jun


    NEW! Lee Seo-jun violin


    NEW! Lee Seo-jun movie


    NEW! Lee Seo-jun movie shooting


    We were prepared, but its amazing.


    Real-time search terms are all Seo-jun.


    The staff of Cocoa Enters 2nd team and the PR team opened their exploding mailboxes and their cell phones in turn, receiving phone calls that shook the office.


    Is it actor Lee Seo-jun, is it a Hollywood movie shooting, when is the release, what are you doing and where are you now. Questions poured out.


    Send the press release!


    [Actor Lee Seo-jun, filming a movie in LA!]


    [Cocoa Enter, revealed that they have been preparing sincest summer!]


    [Actor Lee Seo-jun. Hollywood movie, first lead role!]


    [How far can actor Lee Seo-jun go? Violin is also top-notch!]


    [Only a few months left until the release of Lee Seo-juns next work!]


    [What do you need for music, talent? Effort? No, money. What does that mean!]


    -Theres something to surprise people. Thats why I love it


    -Congrats!! Seo-jun!!


    -Wow. I thought it woulde out next year, but itsing out this year! And he was already filming


    -A violin! A musical movie?!


    -Sing-along would be impossible. Its only fun if we sing together Violin is


    As soon as Seo-juns article came out, the views and subscribers of the channel [RAINBOW] started to rise rapidly.


    Even people who had no interest in ssical music started to look for it after hearing that the protagonist was Lee Seo-jun. From the first week video to the eighth week video.


    It was an amazing change to see again. They could understand why everyone called him a devilish talent.


    -Its awkward to watch even knowing its Lee Seo-jun.


    -He looks simr in height and silhouette, but the vibe is totally different. Lee Seo-juns acting skills are amazing.


    =But the eighth week looks like Lee Seo-jun. He has presence even without lighting


    =Even if you pass by, you can tell its Lee Seo-jun How did they not recognize him?


    =Isnt it weird to think that Lee Seo-jun would be busking? And he did it for eight weeks, not just once If it were me, I would think hes there again today and pass by


    -But the skill difference from the first week to the eighth week is no joke. From the first week posture that could fool even violin majors to the eighth week performance that was like a pro Hes amazing.


    -The eighth week song is good. Whats the title?


    =No one knows. Everyone seems to be asking Whale Studio. The site crashed


    -So when is the release date?


    ***


    The next day after the advertisement. On the set.


    Everyone looked at Seo-jun with curious faces. Jason Moore, who had been rmending violin to Seo-jun since before, and Benjamin Morton, who hadughed and said, Its up to Juns heart, both looked at Seo-jun with regretful expressions.


    Did Jun reallypose it?


    Yes. The director said hes been doing it sincest year.


    It seemed like heposed one song a year, but it was not easy for aplete beginner to make a song like that. If he learned from Benjamin Morton, who was also famous forposing, how much would he grow? The more they thought about it, the more they regretted it.


    Did you try to persuade him with me? Im a gem when ites to talking, but the teacher would have fallen for it if he did it like he did when he persuaded me.


    Yeah. I really should have done that.


    Benjamin Morton answered half-jokingly, half-seriously to Jason Moores grumbling.


    But they both knew. Seo-jun, who was a born actor, would not learn professionally unless it was a hobby or a shoot.


    Ready, action!


    As Sara Roth, the director, said, raindrops spewed out of the machine and filled the sky.


    Police officers in raincoats came out of Swallows apartment. The children who came to meet the teacher with Georges brother, holding umbres, looked at the scene with pale faces.


    Just wait a minute.


    Georges brother headed toward the police officer. Gray looked at him talking to Moore with a nk face.


    Georges brother came back. The children and Gray held onto a small hope. Georges brother, who had already heard everything from George, opened his mouth with a dismal face.


    Another


    The sound of rain was heard. Heavy raindrops hit the ground and screamed.


    Another, incident happened. The victim on that side reported it.


    Grays ears went numb. Victim. Incident. He understood with just those two words. Downlock was a neighborhood where even the runt knew what fraud was.


    If youre a victim, you should go to the police station. You might get somepensation


    Even in his messed up head, Gray remembered his mothers happy face.


    His mother, who was happy that he got to learn violin. The teacher that his mother had worked hard to find was a fraud, and her son was learning violin from a fraud who didnt even know the ba of violin. Gray closed his eyes tightly.


    Can I go to the police station?


    You probably need an adult to go.


    Yeah, thats right.


    Gray, who tried to buy some time, held onto his umbre. The umbre handle was too cold.


    Thank you. Ill go first.


    Gray


    You guys, thank you so much. See youter. See youter.


    It rained. Gray walked with his usual steps, leaving his friends behind and heading home.


    Fraud, fraud, hitting, hurting, fighting. It was a normal thing in Downlock. It was a normal thing for Gray.


    Yeah


    Still


    He wished there was a miracle once in a while.


    Gray lifted his head and looked ahead. The ck road was like him. He moved his steps slowly.


    [(Evil)Baby Krakens Stealth is activated.]


    [(Evil)Baby Krakens Stealth-Lowest]


    It is the stealth ability of the Kraken, the genius of stealth.


    You blend in with the surrounding environment.


    You may be infected with magic when touched.


    Grays figure swallowed by the ck darkness was reflected on the camera. Sara Roth turned on the light.


    Is it too dark?


    The light was too bright to see Seo-juns back clearly. But it seemed like the darkness of the alley and Seo-juns figure were subtly intertwined.


    But this is not bad. No, good.


    The borderless figure seemed to show Grays despair better. It seemed like a dark and ominous aura was covering Seo-jun. Grays despair, the atmosphere, was felt.


    Sara Roth was not the only one who felt that. Catherine and Paul, who were only looking at Seo-juns back, had tears in their eyes.


    The two missed the timing to say their lines because of the sadness that came over them.


    Slowly, Seo-jun, who was walking and waiting for Catherine and Pauls lines, noticed it and activated his ability.


    [(Good)Low Angels Fan is activated.]


    Cut! NG!


    A warm wind blew, and the magic that was low on the set disappeared. Catherine and Paul, who were overwhelmed by the atmosphere, came to their senses.


    Im sorry!


    Its okay. Emily. Stop the rain.


    Oh, yes!


    The staff came to their senses at Sara Roths voice and moved quickly.


    They stopped the machine, took towels, and headed for the actors. They couldnt block the rainpletely even with umbres. Seo-jun and the children wiped their wet clothes with dry towels and sat in chairs to warm up their bodies.


    And so, the third shoot began.


    Reba, who couldnt sit still, shouted.


    Gray! In two days! In two days at the park! Lets meet at the ce we always meet!


    You have toe! Ill wait until youe!


    At Reba and Georges voices, Grays ck umbre seemed to turn back, but in the end, Gray disappeared into the darkness.


    Cut! OK!


    The machine that was spraying rain stopped at Sara Roths voice. Seo-jun folded his umbre and activated his ability.


    [(Good)Low Angels Fan is activated.]


    A warm wind to get rid of the magic filled the set. Seo-jun and the children wiped their clothes and bodies with towels that the staff handed them.


    It would have been freezing if we filmed in winter.


    Its a relief that we only had two NGs.


    Its because Catherine cried, right?


    You cried too.


    Honestly, it was hard not to cry.


    The children who got out of the heavy atmosphere chatted and talked. Sara Roth looked at the actors who were talking with bright faces and thought of the remaining shooting schedule.


    Now the shooting was heading to the end.
