Chapter 248


    Chapter 248


    A few days before the article came out.


    An acting academy near Yeoul Arts Middle School.


    The instructor wrote down the characters of the second story of the novel [Mirror], which he had obtained with difficulty, on a large whiteboard.


    The students from Yeoul Arts Middle School looked at him with shining eyes.


    Is this role going to be played by Lee Seo-jun?


    Yes.


    The instructor and the students from Yeoul Arts Middle School were watched by students from other schools.


    Elementary school students who had just finished a dead-end class asked the middle school students.


    Are those older brothers and sisters taking a special lecture separately?


    No.


    If it was just an ordinary lecture, they would have joined them right away, but this time it was hard to do so.


    The middle school students looked at the students from Yeoul Arts Middle School with envious eyes.


    I heard that Lee Seo-jun is doing a graduation performance at Yeoul Arts Middle School.


    Really?!


    The elementary school students eyes sparkled at the words of the middle school students.


    They knew a lot about Yeoul Arts Middle School because they had chosen it as their first choice for admission.


    Even if they entered Yeoul Arts Middle School, they wouldnt be able to go to school with Lee Seo-jun, but it would be a cool title to be a student of the middle school that Lee Seo-jun graduated from.


    What kind of work is it?


    The elementary school students listed the graduation works of Yeoul Arts Middle School that were uploaded on YouTube. The middle school students shook their heads and pointed to the whiteboard with their fingers. The elementary school students heads turned in unison.


    Its based on a novel. I heard that Lee Seo-jun adapted it himself.


    He must have had a lot of help from the writers and directors he knows.


    The elementary school students admired the whiteboard filled with letters and the students from Yeoul Arts Middle School who were taking notes with serious expressions.


    ***


    -My friends sisters friends friend goes to an acting academy where a lot of Yeoul Arts Middle School kids go, and they say Lee Seo-juns next work is a play.


    The rumor that started with one comment soon covered the internet.


    -What? A play? A play?!


    -Is it true?


    -But it doesnt seem like its true when it spreads like this.


    =No, no, its true. I heard it too.


    -It hasnt opened yet, right?


    -It could be like Spring, where only his voice comes out.


    -What is it? Should I look for it?


    Saturday night.


    The reporters who had been wandering around the internet without anything to do on weekdays and weekends to find something to write about also caught their eyes.


    A play


    Unlike video media like movies or dramas, where many people can watch, in the case of plays, the number of audience members who can watch is limited, so fans of actors had to work hard to get tickets.


    And theres also the charm of being able to feel the actors acting right in front of your eyes.


    If it was Lee Seo-jun, who hadnt done a play since the childrens play Spring, if it was Lee Seo-jun, who was recognized by the Oscar Award, he would attract more attention than other actors.


    Not only fans, but even ordinary people who were not interested in plays would think about going to see him once.


    The reporters who found their prey blinked their eyes and searched the internet.


    -They say its based on a novel.


    =A novel?


    -There are some plays based on novels, right?


    A novel-based play?


    Another hint popped up.


    The reporter looked for plays based on novels. From bestsellers to fairy tales. He searched thoroughly for anything that might suit Lee Seo-jun, who was unpredictable, from roles where only his voice appeared to unusual roles.


    This?


    Among them, he saw a familiar name.


    [Meet the novel Juror as a play!]


    <One of the must-read books for teenagers, Song Moon-seoks novel Juror is made into a play. It is scheduled to open in November(omitted)Actor Kim Jong-ho will play Park Won-kyungs father(omitted)>


    Also known as Lee Seo-juns troupe.


    Kim Jong-ho?


    The eyes of the entertainment reporter sparkled.


    Actor Kim Jong-ho.


    ***


    From Sunday morning, articles began to appear.


    [Actor Lee Seo-jun appears in the play Juror!]


    [Actor Lee Seo-jun and actor Kim Jong-ho on stage!]


    [Lee Seo-juns second play!]


    [Lets learn more about the teen must-read book Juror!]


    [Is it planned murder or an accident? All judgments are up to you, the reader!]


    -Wow! Seo-jun is doing a play!


    They say you know ten miles under water but not one mile into peoples hearts.


    Only Anh Da Ho and the staff who looked at the two decision-makers were anxious.


    They looked cold even though they were acting as usual.


    Every day they worried about what to do if Seo-jun went to another company or if they had to go to another team.


    In this situation, an article about an actor they didnt know came out.


    When they first saw the article Juror Appearance, they felt like their hearts dropped as if it was evidence of a failed renewal.


    The reason why they couldnt write a correction article until now was because they wondered if Seo-jun had an appearance that he didnt tell them.


    If more appearance articles and correction articles come out, there will be rumors of discord and it will damage Seo-juns image.


    At Anh Da Hos words, Seo Eun-chan muttered with his mouth twitching and finally spat out one word.


    It was the name of one person who could blow away all these worries and anxieties.


    Seo-jun?


    He doesnt answer the phone.


    As Anh Da Ho answered with a gloomy face, the staff of Team 2 quietly looked at the monitor as if they were deflated.


    In this situation, he didnt even answer the phone as if he was avoiding it, so Anh Da Ho and Team 2 had no choice but to be anxious.


    At Anh Da Hos words, Seo Eun-chan ran out of Team 2s office and got into the car parked in the parking lot.


    Seo-junaa!!


    Seo Eun-chan, who thought it was 100% renewal and didnt even mention the r of renewal, had no choice but to head to Seo-juns house right away.


    ***


    Eun-soo broke it.


    Hehehe.


    At Seo Eun-chans question of why he didnt answer the phone, Seo-jun handed him a smartphone with a shattered screen.


    Eun-soo, who had peeked out from behind Seo-jun, looked at her dad, who almost collapsed at the entrance, with a smile.


    Daughter!


    The reason for the loss of contact was his daughter, Seo Eun-soo, who had fallen asleep at Seo-juns house last night while playing.


    ***


    After leaving Eun-soo to Seo Eun-hye, Seo-jun got in Seo Eun-chans car and headed to Cocoa Entertainment.


    Seo-juns eyes widened at the story that Seo Eun-chan kept babbling.


    What? What are you talking about?


    You were wondering if it was true that you were going to another company, so you couldnt call me or my sister and brother-in-law. You waited until I came. Why didnt you call me when your phone broke? The articles keep coming out.


    I thought you would take care of the correction article yourself. Besides, its Sunday today.


    Thats why he thought the correction article was late.


    I didnt think youd be worried about that.


    Seo-jun sighed lightly.


    The decision-makers, actor Lee Seo-jun and president Seo Eun-chan, took it too lightly, and Anh Da Ho and Team 2 took it too seriously.


    Seo-jun arrived at Cocoa Entertainment and entered Team 2s office.


    Anh Da Ho, who spotted Seo-jun, got up from his chair awkwardly and the staff of Team 2 looked surprised and looked at Seo-jun.


    They all looked a little worse for wear as if they had a lot of worries in that short time.


    Looking at Anh Da Ho and the staff of Team 2, who had been with him for eight years, Seo-jun smiled more brightly than ever and said.


    Im not going anywhere else.


    They didnt know how long they had been waiting for that word.


    Anh Da Ho and the staff of Team 2 looked at Seo-jun with teary eyes.


    Seeing their faces as if they were about to cry, Seo-jun teased them with a playful face.


    Even if I go somewhere else, I have to go with Da-ho hyung and Team 2, everyone. Im sorry to my uncle.


    Lee Seo-jun!


    Ahahaha.


    Seo-juns refreshing laugh made Anh Da Ho and the staff of Team 2 smile brightly as they let go of their worries.


    [Actor Lee Seo-jun, no plans to appear in the play Juror!]


    [Lee Seo-jun, scheduled for Yeoul High School graduation performance!]


    [Yeoul High School graduation performance made by students!]


    [How to see Yeoul High School graduation performance in person!?]


    [The novel chosen by actor Lee Seo-jun, Mirror]


    -Ah. It wasnt true


    -I cant see the graduation performance


    =It will be on YouTube.


    -I wanted to see it in person


    -But the reporters are writing articles too recklessly.


    -Its weird that the correction article was a bit late this time?


    =222 Whats up with Cocoa Entertainment?


    =Maybe because its Sunday?


    -Mirror? I have to read it.


    =But there is no book.


    =??


    =There is no book!
