Chapter 450:
“They say that even a graceful swan is paddling hard under the water. Doesn''t it look like that?”
Kang Jae-han''s remark made Team 436 laugh.
Seo-jun, who was preparing to run to the end of the audience seats by twisting his ankles, was no exception.
“True. It''s cool that Seo-jun appears from the audience seats... but the audience won''t know how hard he has to run.”
Kim Chae-yeon, who turned on the stopwatch on her phone screen, said with a smile.
How did Seo-jun manage to appear from the audience seats while he was on stage?
Of course, he had to run hard from the stage to the prepared place at the end of the audience seats, change his clothes quickly, and appear as if nothing happened when Kang Jae-han said ‘There!’ with his line.
And he had to be careful not to be noticed by the audience while running.
The scene that was created for that purpose was the spaceship crash scene.
When the lights were shone towards the audience seats, dazzling and dizzying red, blue, and yellow lights confused the audience and blocked their sight.
And the noisy and chaotic music hid the sound of Seo-jun moving.
Meanwhile, seo-jun went down from the stage and ran hard to the end of the audience seats.
And voila!
Seo-jun appeared in his changed clothes according to Kang Jae-han''s line.
It was an effort that the audience didn''t think of.
“Min-hyung, watch carefully.”
“Yes!”
The most important thing was the lighting.
He had to use the 1st and 5th aisles that were not easily visible to the audience, but it would be a big problem if he accidentally moved the light and shone it on Seo-jun running.
“Shall I start?”
“Yeah.”
Seo-jun, who did some light stretching, put on a black cloth that could cover his whole body at Kim Chae-yeon''s signal and jumped down from the stage.
“Are you timing until he changes his clothes?”
“Yeah.”
Kim Chae-yeon answered Lee Sol''s question. The clock on the stopwatch on the phone screen moved quickly.
The size of Theater 2 was different from Mirinae Hall.
As the audience seats widened, seo-jun had to run longer to reach the end of the audience seats.
So they decided to adjust the length of the ‘spaceship crash scene’ to match that time.
“He''s really good at sports. Seo-jun is really fast.”
“I know. He doesn''t look tired even after climbing up the stairs so quickly.”
Seo-jun, who had reached the end of the audience seats in no time, came out of a place made of blackout curtains and changed his clothes.
He wore a white wig, a white cloak, and yellow lenses in order to match the time of the play.
Of course, there was a team member in that blackout curtain who helped Seo-jun change his clothes.
“Good!”
Kim Chae-yeon''s stopwatch stopped.
Seo-jun walked down like a white butterfly fluttering his white cloak.
The staff who were pretending to work and secretly watching Team 436’s movements exclaimed in admiration.
“It''s definitely longer than Mirinae Hall.”
Kim Chae-yeon looked at the stopwatch and estimated the time of the ‘spaceship crash scene’.
Just like in their graduation performance, they planned to set the ‘spaceship crash scene’ longer than the stopwatch time.
The aisles between the audience seats were stairs, so he could stumble while running, and there could be times when something went wrong with putting on a wig or something.
“We can extend it, right?”
“Of course. Don''t worry. We’ll finish it today.”
Kim Chae-yeon and the music team smiled reassuringly. Seo-jun nodded and looked at Park Min-hyung, who had changed from costume manager to lighting manager.
“Can you do it, Min-hyung?” for new novels
“Yes! I can do it!”
Seo-jun smiled satisfied at the cheerful answer of the first-year student and looked around Team 436.
“Then let''s start our afternoon practice!”
The team members answered loudly at their leader''s words.
Saturday, october 31st.
The last practice of this year began.

[Happy New Year!]
[Sunrise from mountain vs sea]
[Actor Lee Seo-jun leaves New Year''s greetings on his YouTube channel!]
January 1st.
The new year dawned.
Some people got up early with a new mindset and watched the sun rise, while some people slept late as usual on holidays.
Seo-jun left New Year''s greetings through his YouTube channel [JUN] as usual every year and started preparing to go out to meet his childhood friends.
‘The supreme door didn''t open.’
Seo-jun thought of the huge door that was tightly closed in the library with a white background as he put on his top.
He wondered if it would open on the first day of becoming an adult, but unfortunately, the door of the supreme library did not open.
‘Does the supreme level open later?’
He put on his coat and picked up his hat. The ability engraved on the hat sparkled.
‘Only that''s left now...’
“Let''s try both soju and beer. It''s fun to try different things and find what suits your taste.”
“Today is your first time drinking, so drink a little. If you can''t drink, tell us right away.”
“Okay. I will.”
At the sight of his parents who were more excited than him, seo-jun smiled and answered.
“Should I start with beer?”
“First, fill your stomach. Honey, flip the meat.”
Startled by Seo Eun-hye''s words, Lee Min-jun quickly flipped the pork belly with tongs.
The well-cooked pork belly showed itself.
It was cut into bite-sized pieces with scissors.
“You shouldn''t drink on an empty stomach when you drink alcohol. If you have a dinner after shooting in the future, make sure you fill your stomach a little before drinking.”
Seo-jun nodded at his mom''s words.
Lee Min-jun, who was holding the tongs, put the well-cooked meat in front of Seo-jun and Seo Eun-hye.
Seo Eun-hye smiled and put a piece of meat in Lee Min-jun''s mouth, who was busy grilling the meat.
They were still a loving couple.
“That''s right. Seo-jun can drink at dinner now.”
Lee Min-jun, who put a new pork belly on the grill, said with a slightly worried face.
“What if someone forces Seo-jun to drink?”
Seo Eun-hye''s eyes flashed.
“Then I have to tell Da Ho. It''s wrong to force someone to drink no matter how old they are.”
Seo-jun agreed and nodded as he put a piece of meat on a lettuce wrap.
“I have a lot of experience, so they won''t force me to drink. If they keep doing that, I have a way of not shooting at all.”
That would make it clear whether Seo-jun would leave or the person who forced him to drink would leave.
The 15-year-old top actor, seo-jun, who had enough power to wield as he pleased, ate the lettuce wrap with a crunch.
A moment later.
A small glass filled with transparent liquid and a large glass with brown liquid and bubbles on top were placed in front of Seo-jun, who had filled his stomach moderately.
“Mom likes soju.”
“Dad likes beer.”
Seo-jun carefully considered and reached out his hand at the eyes that looked forward to it strangely.
The long beer glass was caught.
He felt less burdened because the alcohol content was lower than soju.
There was not even half of the beer in the beer glass. Seo-jun carefully brought the glass to his lips and drank slowly.
“Uh.”
He reflexively made that sound.
He frowned at the bitter taste that lingered in his mouth even though he drank very little.
“...What is this taste?”
At his son''s reaction, seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun laughed and handed him water.
He drank water and revived his taste with pork belly. Seo-jun looked at soju next. There was not even half of the soju in the small soju glass either.
He stared at the soju for a moment and lifted the soju glass to his lips.
Seo-jun unconsciously frowned as the soju passed through his mouth and went down his throat.
The smell and taste of alcohol that clearly asserted its presence remained in his mouth.
“...Ugh. Beer is better.”
At that, the couple burst into laughter.
