Chapter 241
Chapter 241
It was July, and the scorching sun was pouring down.
The summer vacation of Yeoul Arts High School had begun.
Seo-jun packed his bag with books, notebooks, and writing tools, and looked at the paper on his desk.
It was a list of summer homework assignments that the school had given out.
There was no daily diary to write like in elementary school, but there was one group activity.
It was to read one of the recommended novels for teenagers and have a book discussion.
He had to write down his own impressions of the book, his changed thoughts after the discussion, and his group members opinions, and submit them.
Seo-juns group 3 decided to meet today, less than a week after the start of the summer vacation, to finish their homework early.
It was because the summer vacation was the best time to go around and watch auditions.
Seo-jun put his bag on the floor and put on his horn-rimmed glasses without lenses.
He felt awkward wearing glasses, except when he was filming for Escape.
He looked at himself in the mirror and adjusted his glasses a few times, then smiled and put on his usual black hat.
If I use my ability here, people will hardly notice me.
Seo-jun looked at the pattern shining on the back of his hand and picked up his bag from the floor.
I think I can rest from Wednesday to Sunday.
Hmm. Thats quite a lot.
Seo Eun Hye and Lee Min Jun, who were looking at the calendar in the living room and discussing where to go for their summer vacation, looked up at the sound of the door opening.
They smiled at Seo-jun, who had finished getting ready to go out.
They had already heard that he was going to do his homework with his friends.
Are you leaving now?
Yeah.
Lee Min Jun looked at his watch.
Its not even 11 oclock yet. Didnt you say you were meeting your friends at 2 oclock?
Theres a bookstore next to the cafe where were meeting. Im going to look around.
What about lunch?
There are a lot of restaurants nearby, so Ill buy something.
Dont just snack on something. Eat well.
Okay.
Seo-jun adjusted his hat again and put on his sneakers.
He grabbed the door handle.
Ill be back!
Okay.
Be careful!
***
There was a bookstore right next to the cafe where Seo-jun was meeting his friends today.
It was a large bookstore with branches nationwide, so it was big and crowded.
Seo-jun pressed his hat firmly and opened the door of the bookstore.
Ding.
As he entered the bookstore, the air conditioner cooled down his hot body. Seo-jun enjoyed the cool breeze for a moment and moved inside.
Lets see what they have.
Seo-jun sighed lightly and stood in front of a bookshelf full of short stories.
Even though the first semester had passed and it was summer vacation, Seo-jun still hadnt chosen a script for his graduation performance.
There were scripts from famous plays that had been published, and plays that his seniors at Yeoul Arts High School had performed before, but he didnt like any of them.
He even considered writing a script or a synopsis based on one of Cocoa Entertainments works.
But since the other kids also had to perform, the graduation performance time was not that long.
He had to either shorten the story or only put up the climax part on stage.
He didnt like that idea either, so Seo-jun decided to wait for now.
I should find something soon
He had to gather the kids who would perform with him, make the stage, and practice.
He felt a little anxious as he felt that he didnt have much time left. He took out an ability from Lifes Library last night.
[(Line) Dandelion Fluffs Fate Low Grade]
Dandelion fluff will find your fate for you.
Range: 200m
Of course, there had to be someone within 200 meters who was connected to him by fate, and he had to be careful not to miss the small white dandelion fluff that flew in the wind.
Maybe because it was low grade, the distance was only 200 meters.
I guess Ill have to wander around all summer.
Seo-jun scratched his cheek and turned his head.
He read down the novels as he flipped through them.
As he was doing so, he felt someones presence.
Excuse me, student.
Yes?
Do you like books?
Seo-jun stepped back slightly at the mans question.
I didnt expect to hear that in a bookstore
And he found Seo-jun who was using an ability that made him less noticeable.
He must have been looking for someone to talk to no matter what.
The mans will was palpable.
But still.
He should avoid strangers.
Choi Da-ye asked back in surprise.
A question?
Yes. Im curious about what you think of the female protagonist.
Choi Da-ye calmly answered his question.
The boys question did not end there.
He asked questions endlessly as if he had prepared them in advance.
Seeing a reader who asked detailed and deep questions about his book, Choi Da-ye also became excited and explained his intentions and thoughts.
The questions and answers that went back and forth like ping-pong made the reporter and three audience members who remained flip through the book they received from the staff and nod their heads.
It sounds interesting when I hear it like this.
I know. I should read it carefully later.
The book concert ended with a better atmosphere than expected, even though there were only five people left. Choi Da-ye signed the books with a happy face for the reporter and three readers.
The three audience members, as well as the reporter who filmed Choi Da-ye signing, left, and it was finally the boys turn.
Thank you for reading it.
Choi Da-ye smiled brightly at the boy in the black hat.
Im sorry I couldnt read it properly because I was in a hurry.
Huh?
Choi Da-ye and the publishers staff next to her tilted their heads at his words. The boy who had helped them finish this book concert well smiled.
You gave me a book earlier.
Oh!
The publishers staff finally remembered that he had given a book to this student just 10 minutes ago.
Choi Da-ye tilted her head.
The boy continued to speak with a smile as the staff gave him a wink.
The book was interesting. Please sign it.
Yes? Yes!
But I have something to ask you
What is it?
She wanted to grant him anything if she could. The boy smiled faintly at Choi Da-yes sparkling eyes.
Can I make this into a play?
A play?
She was taken aback by something she had never thought of before.
The editor, who had been thinking about the second rights or contracts, realized that the person in front of him was a student.
Where are you doing it?
Its my school graduation project.
Oh
Choi Da-ye was relieved, unlike the editor who nodded his head with a disappointed expression.
A play that did not make any money was fine. Of course, they could not write the script for him
Were going to upload it on YouTube.
Oh. Then you cant
It was likely that the content would be leaked if the play was uploaded on YouTube, since they would probably use the same plot as the book.
But its not like the book is selling anyway
Choi Da-ye wanted to see her novel reborn as a play.
The staff also thought that this might be a promotion. But it had to be well-made.
Hmm. What school are you in?
Yeoul Arts Middle School.
He was a middle school student.
He looked like a high school student because he was tall.
Yeoul Arts Middle School. Choi Da-yes eyes widened.
Isnt that Lee Seo-juns school?
Thats right. Do you think Lee Seo-jun will act in it too?
That would be really nice.
The publishers staff and Choi Da-ye joked with a smile.
The two had already made up their minds.
Well, we cant decide on our own, and we have to have a meeting at the publisher.
Dont worry. Ill persuade them for sure.
Ill help too.
The boy, who had been silent for a while at the kind words of the writer and the staff, slowly took off his black hat.
As his face slowly appeared, Choi Da-ye and the publishers staffs eyes widened.
The boy took off his horn-rimmed glasses and smiled.
Hello. Im Lee Seo-jun.
Choi Da-ye and the publishers staff stopped breathing and opened their mouths wide.
The owner of the name they had just joked about was right here.
Actor Lee Seo-jun smiled brightly and said.
I want to make this into a play
Please do!
Please do!
His words were not even finished when they answered.
A meeting at the publisher? Content leakage? They didnt care.
Please make it!
Choi Da-ye and the publishers staffs eyes burned with passion.
Lee Seo-jun smiled awkwardly.
