Chapter 370:


    Seo-jun waited for Kim Han-seok while browsing the internet articles on his phone.


    The internet was ablaze with various articles, unlike the chilly weather outside.


    [Kim Jong-ho x Lee Ji-seok, filming for the movie ‘One Round’!]


    [Director Choi Dae-man''s new work starring Kim Jong-ho and Lee Ji-seok!]


    [Audition over! Actor Lee Seo-jun casted!]


    [What is actor Lee Seo-jun''s next work?]


    [Marina Studio''s new hero, Phantom, appears!]


    [The beginning of a new hero series, ‘Phantom’!]


    [‘Phantom’ premieres this Saturday!]


    -Wow, Kim Jong-ho and Lee Ji-seok, it''s been a long time since they worked together!


    =And they have Director Choi Dae-man of Escape too.


    =...Is this a Lee Seo-jun fan club without Lee Seo-jun?


    =I thought he would make a surprise appearance, but he''s filming another movie lol


    =Too bad.


    -Next year will be explosive.


    =222 I don''t know about the others, but I have to avoid Lee Seo-jun''s work and ‘One Round’.


    =What''s the title of Lee Seo-jun''s movie?


    =It seems like it hasn''t been decided yet.


    -Ooh! A new hero from the Marina Studio!


    =They must be promoting a lot. I see it on TV all the time and posters are everywhere.


    =It''s the first start of the season that will last for about 10 years. They have to make a good first movie so that the other heroes that come out later can do well at the box office.


    -I booked the first day! I have to go see it!


    =222 If you don''t want spoilers, you have to go on the first day!


    Lee Ji-seok and Kim Jong-ho were filming a movie together with Director Choi Dae-man, and a new hero movie came out from the Marina Studio.


    “I wonder what kind of movies they are.”


    ‘One Round’ and ‘Phantom’.


    Seo-jun checked his schedule and wondered when he could go see the movies.


    His friends were going on Saturday, but he didn''t know if he would finish filming by then.


    ‘You never know what might happen.’


    The weather could be unpredictable, or the filming could be interrupted by people.


    ‘When would be a good time to go?’


    He was thinking about it when he heard Kim Han-seok''s voice.


    “Seo-jun hyung! I got permission from my parents!”


    “Really? Then let''s go?”


    “Yes!”


    ***


    Kim Han-seok put his bag on the floor and sat on a chair.


    He looked around in awe at Seo-jun''s practice room.


    “As expected, seo-jun hyung''s practice room is no joke.”


    One wall was covered with mirrors, and cameras were hanging everywhere.


    Who would think that someone would have such a practice room in their home?


    Seo-jun brought some juice and smiled as he saw Kim Han-seok admiring his surroundings.


    He sat down next to him.


    “Did you read the script?”


    “Yes. But I only read it once during break time.”Nne?w n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com


    “That''s impressive considering you didn''t have much break time.”


    Seo-jun nodded his head with a pleased smile at Kim Han-seok''s words.


    “Then why don''t you tell me how you felt about the character ‘Kwon Yoon-chan’?”


    “Um. Yes.”


    Kim Han-seok rolled his eyes for a moment and then talked about his thoughts on ‘Kwon Yoon-chan’ as he read the script.


    In the meantime, seo-jun wrote something on a white paper.


    Was it an evaluation of himself?


    He wanted to see it, but he also didn''t want to see it.


    He tried to hold back his gaze from looking at the paper and continued to talk about his thoughts on ‘Kwon Yoon-chan’. He soon closed his mouth.


    “That''s what I thought.”


    “Really? You analyzed him in detail for reading it once.”


    “Hehe.”


    Kim Han-seok smiled brightly at Seo-jun''s compliment.


    “Here, this.”


    Seo-jun handed him the paper.


    Kim Han-seok looked at the paper with a slightly nervous face.


    It was different from what he expected.


    Instead of an evaluation of himself, there were short and long sentences written on the paper.


    There were also words.


    ‘...They look like movie titles.’


    “I wrote down some works that have characters with similar emotions to yours based on your analysis.”


    “...?”


    “They are short films or independent films, not dramas or movies. And these are the ones that I have scripts and videos at home.”


    Kim Han-seok looked at the paper again. There were more than twenty works listed.


    ...He didn''t know where to start being surprised.


    Whether it was surprising that he had watched all these independent films, or that he had the scripts and videos, or that he remembered them all, or that he not only remembered the works but also the characters.


    “Seo-jun hyung. Do you remember all these?”


    “Yeah. I watch them several times if they are interesting.”


    The kids nodded their heads at once.


    Kim Han-seok smiled faintly and opened his mouth.


    “But the practice ends today since we have a shoot tomorrow.”


    “That''s a relief.”


    “You''re going to watch Phantom after the shoot, right?”


    “Kim Han-seok! Lee Seo-jun senior is here!”


    Kim Han-seok, who was about to answer his friend''s question, jumped up from his seat.


    The eyes of the first graders also turned to the classroom door.


    Seo-jun was waving his hand with a smile.


    “Hyung! What are you doing here?”


    “The shoot has been delayed by a day.”


    “...What?”


    Kim Han-seok blinked at Seo-jun''s words.


    The shoot was supposed to be tomorrow, but it was postponed by a day?


    Kim Han-seok''s mouth opened wide as he understood Seo-jun''s words.


    “So I thought we’d practice somewhere else today. I thought we wouldn''t have time, but luckily we do.”


    Seo-jun said with a bright smile, Kim Han-seok''s eyes trembled.


    The kids who were watching him prayed for Kim Han-seok, whose practice had been extended by a day.


    ***


    Thursday, a day before the shoot.


    The movie theater was bustling with people.


    The faces of the people waiting for the movie to start were full of anticipation.


    They all looked like they were waiting for the same movie, holding the same poster. That was also true for Mirinae Kids.


    Kang Jae-han said,


    “I wonder if Seo-jun and Han-seok have arrived?”


    “They went down to Busan last night because the set is in Busan. They probably started shooting today.”


    “Didn''t they say they would shoot on Friday?”


    Today was Saturday. That''s why the kids could come to watch the movie.


    Han Jinho asked, Yang Ju-hee answered.


    “It was delayed by a day.”


    “Really?”


    “So Han-seok was dying...”


    Kim Joo-kyung said, the kids laughed.


    The shoot was delayed by a day, so the practice with Seo-jun was extended by a day.


    “Seo-jun is strict about acting.”


    “But he''s also lenient.”


    He was harsh to actors who acted casually, but he was gentle to actors who loved acting.


    They all knew Seo-jun well.


    “He’ll learn a lot from the practice, even if it''s hard.”


    “I didn''t know there were so many movies in the world. We watched foreign movies too.”


    “And Seo-jun added the subtitles himself.”


    The kids giggled and the voice of the theater staff came to their ears.


    “The screening of ‘Phantom’ in Theater 3 will start soon! Please enter if you are going to watch it.”


    The people who were gathered got up one by one.


    From young children who looked like elementary school students to adults who looked like office workers, they couldn''t hide their excitement.


    Today was the day of the release of Marina Studio''s new hero, the first hero movie of Season 2, [Phantom].


    “Let''s go in too.”


    “Yeah.”


    The kids who were full of expectation entered the theater.


    “I wonder if it came out well?”


    “It must have. It''s the first movie of the new series.”


    “Do you think Seo-jun is watching it in Busan?”


    “Maybe not?”


    The kids who sat in the seats written on their tickets closed their mouths slowly as the theater darkened.


    Soon, a video showing the emergency exit came out and the screen turned black.


    Marina Studio''s logo appeared in the center of the screen.


    Two hours later.


    The door of Theater 3 opened wide.


    The people who watched the movie came out one by one.


    The people who were waiting outside looked at the expressions of the people who came out.


    Would they marvel at Redbone''s perfect acting, be surprised by Greenwing''s directing, or cry like Shadowman?


    Watching the reactions of the audience who watched Marina Studio''s movie was also one of the fun things about watching Marina Studio''s movie.


    “...Huh?”


    Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na, who were chatting about the reviews of [Phantom] that would come out in a few weeks, blinked their eyes.


    Unlike their expectations of a passionate reaction, the audience''s reaction was subtle.


    ‘Too... quiet?’


    It was too quiet for a Marina Studio movie that ended with a cookie video that made people look forward to the next episode.


    It seemed like it wasn''t boring, but there was a strange disappointment in the air.


    Song Yu-jung and Im Ye-na looked at each other.


    They felt a sudden anxiety.


    Han Jinho, who turned his head slightly and looked at Theater 3 where [Phantom] had been screened until a while ago, scratched his cheek.


    “It was fun... but did I expect too much?”
