Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 22

Brown Black and Seo-jun came back from the playground with their faces stained with tears.

They washed their faces first before doing anything else.

Hwang Ye-jun, who had practiced hard for the puppet show, sat Seo-jun on his lap and read him a storybook with pictures.

Seo-jun loved fairy tales.

He felt nostalgic whenever the main characters or the supporting characters were not humans, but animals like pigs, dogs, or tigers, or sometimes even plants.

“Kyaaak!”

Seo-jun screamed and clapped his hands. His enthusiastic reaction marked the end of the puppet show.

Hwang Ye-jun smiled brightly and put away the book.

“I’m glad you liked it, seo-jun. It was worth practicing!”

Ding-dong-

Choi Si-yoon, who had been dozing off on the sofa, woke up abruptly and said.

“Oh, it’s put him to bed time to feed Seo-jun and.”

After dancing hard, crying their hearts out, washing up, and listening to a bedtime story, they gradually fell asleep.

Kevin also yawned widely.

“Hmm.”

Park Seo-jin looked at the members’ condition and pondered.

In his hand was a bottle of milk that he had prepared at the perfect temperature.

He had become a veteran in just two days.

“Since Seo-jun has eaten and taken a nap, shall we sleep too?”

“Yes, please!”

“Agreed!”

“Spread the blankets.”

Kevin quickly got up and spread Seo-jun’s and the other members’ blankets in the living room.

Park Seo-jin gave Seo-jun a pacifier to suck on.

Seo-jun’s eyes curved into crescents as he caught the incoming milk without missing a beat.

The other members also gathered around him, sitting in a cozy circle.

“Ehehe.”

“Ah, seo-jun is so cute.”

“I think he’s the cutest when he eats.”

Seo Eun-chan quickly grabbed the camera and took a close-up shot.

As he looked at Seo-jun through the camera screen, he clutched his heart.

Gasp! Is this how he became a nephew fool!

The nap was short but sweet.

Brown Black and Seo-jun, who had slept soundly and woke up, were full of energy.

They played with the rice flour and seaweed that Park Seo-jin had prepared, and Seo-jun’s bath, which was a mess after playing, was finished in no time thanks to Brown Black’s dazzling teamwork that they had studied from YouTube videos all night.

The fun time passed by in an instant. It was already the second night with his hyungs.

“Round eyes and a small black nose-”

“Wearing a black fur coat-”

Hmm. Seo-jun, who was lying on a cozy blanket, thought. Did these hyungs just want to sing songs using my lullaby as an excuse?

He saw Brown Black, who pushed their faces over the baby bed and looked at him like yesterday.

They all smiled and sang nursery rhymes, and he didn’t think his guess was wrong.

“Pretty baby bear.”

[The connection of the orchestra conductor is activated.]

‘Well, their singing skills have increased by 0.3 times in a day or two, so singing must be fun.’

Yawn.

But today, they didn’t sing all six songs that would go into Brown Black’s album like yesterday.

They continued to sing the calm nursery rhymes that they had practiced.

Seo-jun fell asleep with a swoosh.

The man downstairs, who opened the window and waited for the song that would come from somewhere in the cold wind, didn’t notice that the last night of Brown Black and Jun’s 48 hours had passed.

It was morning.

The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, unlike the lively day before.

Brown-Black did their jobs perfectly, even with a slightly dark expression.

Seo-jun ate his formula as usual, played, and took a nap. Then he ate his baby food and played happily.

The time that seemed endless and hopeless passed by like light.

“This is the last time We’re going to make formula, Ye-jun hyung.”

Choi Si-Yoon opened his mouth without realizing it as he made the formula.

“Don’t say that. It’s sad.”

Hwang Ye-jun, who was holding Seo-jun, said with a drooping eye. Seo-jun, who had his chin on Hwang Ye-jun’s shoulder, stared at Choi Si-Yoon making his formula and screamed.

Ding-dong-

“That’s sharp!”

As Seo-jun’s alarm and the phone alarm rang, choi Si-Yoon quickly checked the temperature and gave Seo-jun the nipple.

Slurp slurp.

Hwang Ye-jun headed to the living room with Seo-jun, who was eating comfortably.

“Only the Christmas tree is left to decorate and it’s really over.”

Park Seo-jin and Kevin had neatly arranged the items to decorate the Christmas tree in the living room.

The two of them sighed as they put the sparkling bulbs on the floor and the small dolls to decorate on the floor.

“Is the world going to end because of that?”

“You guys are also sad, right?”

Park Seo-jin looked at Seo-jun, who was eating his formula deliciously.

“At first, it was really hard…”

“Yeah. Changing diapers was also very hard.”

“Diapers are still hard, right?”

“Parents are amazing.”

Eeheeheehee.

Seo-jun smiled shyly at the brothers who stared at him intently.

Now, even Brown Black smiled softly without being flustered.

Hwang Ye-jun recalled them two days ago.

They made a fuss at the baby’s laughter, and ran to the doctor at the drop of a tear.

“It feels like 48 hours have passed in the blink of an eye.”

Park Seo-jin, who had been studying childcare in between singing and dancing practice for three days, placed his index finger on Seo-jun’s tiny palm.

Seo-jun reflexively grasped Park Seo-jin’s index finger tightly.

“At first, I just thought it was a video to promote our name, but…”

They felt like they had become a real family.

Choi Si-yoon looked at Seo-jun with moist eyes.

Thanks to this little baby, his singing and dancing skills, which had been stagnant, seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds.

“It seems like we’re making a lot of happy memories before we leave.”

Kevin gently stroked Seo-jun’s hair. It was a noisy and happy break from the daily routine that was filled with practice, practice, and more practice.

“I’ll miss this place when we go back to the dorm.”

Everyone laughed at Kevin’s words. They all agreed with Kevin’s words with laughter.

“We’ll be busy anyway. We have to go on a music show in a month.”

Seo Eun-chan, who had been scribbling something on a piece of paper in a corner of the living room, said. Brown Black nodded at his words.

As Brown Black listened to their conversation, seo-jun drank his formula deliciously.

He held the empty bottle in his hand for a moment and then dropped it.

“Oops!”

Before the empty bottle hit the floor, Park Seo-jin caught it in a flash.

“Kyahaha!”

“You’re good at catching, leader?”

“I have learned to catch it now, since he drops it so often.”

They all smiled brightly as if they were showing their familiarity of 48 hours.

“Okay, let’s turn off the lights.”

They closed all the curtains in the living room and made it dark.

The bright living room became dark like night.

The blackout curtains that Park Seo-jin brought did their part.

Hwang Ye-jun showed the heavy blackout curtains with a look of disbelief.

“Why did you bring that?”

“It’s better to have more than less.”

Park Seo-jin had no idea that in the future, whenever he appeared on a variety show, a caption would say, ‘Park Seo-jin, who prefers more than less, brought this much again!’

“Let’s have Seo-jun turn on the switch!”

Seo-jun, who was sitting on Choi Si-yoon’s lap, looked at the Christmas tree that was set up on one side of the living room. His small hand grabbed the switch of the colorful lights. Choi Si-yoon’s hand was on top of his.

Seo-jun tilted his head at the sight of the Christmas tree, which he had been watching with a look of what are they doing this time.

They attached dolls and stars and beads to the tree, and now they turned off the lights without even looking at the decorated tree.

They even blocked the sunlight that came in through the window with curtains.

“Uhing?”

“Come on, seo-jun. Look carefully.”

Hwang Ye-jun stopped Seo-jun, who was slapping Choi Si-yoon’s arm with both palms.

Park Seo-jin and Kevin also sat next to Choi Si-yoon.

They all sat in the dark living room and looked at the Christmas tree.

“Three!”

“Two!”

“One!”

Choi Si-yoon flipped the switch. Seo-jun’s finger moved along with him.

Click!

Sparkle!

The tree sparkled. It twinkled with red, blue, green, and yellow lights.

Seo-jun was startled and looked at the tree. The yellow star at the top of the tree spun and shone!

The beads that were invisible before sparkled under the light of the tiny bulbs that wrapped around the tree.

The decorated dolls were also very visible.

“Uh-huh?”

‘What is this?’

The light came on with a click.

It was not white light like the living room lamp, but colorful lights of various colors.

He couldn’t take his eyes off the tree that shone brightly. It was pretty!?

It was very pretty!

“Seo-jun, Merry Christmas!”

“Merry Christmas!”

“That’s the native pronunciation!”

Everyone cheered and clapped for the early Christmas. Seo-jun, who was mesmerized by the tree, also clapped along with his brothers.

He didn’t know what they were saying, but it was awesome! It was the best!

“Kyaaahahaha.”

“Isn’t it pretty, seo-jun?”

“Uh-huh!”

Seo-jun wiggled his hips as he looked at the sparkling tree. He saw the amazing switch between Choi Si-yoon’s and his own hands.

So, if he clicked it. Seo-jun put strength into both hands. Choi Si-yoon said “oh no” at the same time.

The living room went dark in an instant.

“What, what?!”

“Si-yoon?”

“No, it’s not me! It’s Seo-jun!”

“What?”

Seo-jun felt a surge of mischief as he saw his brothers’ surprised faces.

He laughed hehehe and put strength into his hands again.

Sparkle!

The light came on the tree.

The colorful lights danced again.

Brown Black’s eyes all turned to Seo-jun, who was sitting on Choi Si-yoon’s lap.

Seo-jun smiled cutely. Brown Black also smiled without realizing it.

‘Hehe, this is great!’

Click!

It went dark again.

Click!

The light came on and off.

“Oh, seo-jun. Stop it.”

“That’s enough!”

“Curtains! Open the curtains!”

Kevin opened the curtains wide.

Bright sunlight came in.

It was winter, but it was very bright at noon.

No matter how much he moved the switch, click click, the incoming sunlight was too bright to make a dramatic change.

“Uh-hehehe.”

Seo-jun showed the switch with a sullen face.

Turn this on.

His eyes sparkled. Brown Black tried to look away.

Hwang Ye-jun and Kevin whispered quietly.

“It’s cute, but.”

“It won’t work.”

Hwang Ye-jun quickly turned away from Seo-jun’s gaze.

“Shall we give Seo-jun his Christmas present now?!”

At the sound of the word ‘present’, seo-jun put down his switch. Present! I love presents! Seo-jun spread his arms and cheered.

“Hehehe.”

“Thank goodness he’s simple-minded.”

Choi Si-Yoon quickly hid the little light bulb’s switch where Seo-jun couldn’t see it.

Brown Black searched their luggage for the presents they had bought for Seo-jun.

Then, the irresponsible uncle who was busy filming, seo Eun-chan, shouted. He couldn’t miss this interesting opportunity!

“Didn’t you guys say you were going to rank your love for him?”

Pause.

The living room, where they had been rummaging for presents, became quiet in an instant.

The four men slowly lifted their heads and exchanged glances.

They all looked confident.

“Okay.”

“Let’s do it.”

Brown Black quickly cleaned up the living room.

And they made Seo-jun sit in front of the sofa.

Brown Black sat opposite Seo-jun, each hiding their Christmas present behind their backs. Park Seo-jin opened his mouth.

“The first person Seo-jun goes to is the first place. You can use the present however you want.”

“I don’t need to do this in the first place!”

“I’m the best.”

“We’ll see who’s the longest and the shortest.”

As the four men competed with each other, seo-jun sat blankly.

‘Tree… It was fun… It was so sparkly! It’s so fun and new to be with my brothers!’

“Seo-jun!”

Brown Black called Seo-jun, who was still mesmerized by the Christmas tree.

They decided to show him their presents one by one.

“Uh-huh?”

Huh? What are you doing there, brothers? You said you’d give me a present?

“Here, a very cute rabbit doll!”

The first one was Hwang Ye-jun, who won the rock-paper-scissors.

Hwang Ye-jun cheered and took out something from behind his back. It was a doll.

Unfortunately, hwang Ye-jun’s doll looked exactly like the attachment doll, todori, that Seo-jun had thrown away when he was five months old. Seo-jun pouted his lips.

That’s boring.

Seeing Seo-jun’s reaction was not good, hwang Ye-jun was discouraged.

No, doll shop owner! You said this was the best seller!

Next was Choi Si-Yoon’s turn.

“Seo-jun, look at this! It’s amazing.”

What Choi Si-Yoon took out was a snow globe. When you flip it over and put it down, it snowed.

Oh, that… Seo-jun’s head turned to the cabinet.

There were about ten snow globes. Choi Si-Yoon was startled by the small voice behind him.

“Sorry. I buy it as a present every time I come. A snow globe.”

“Ah, sigh!”

Next was Park Seo-jin’s turn.

A bag appeared from behind Park Seo-jin’s back.

It was a snack.

A baby snack.

Park Seo-jin shook the snack bag with confidence.

“Seo-jun, are you hungry? Here are some delicious snacks. There are banana and apple flavors.”

The sound of crinkling bags filled the air, but Seo-jun didn’t react much. He just tilted his head slightly.

“Why? Why?”

Park Seo-jin exclaimed as he took out the snack bags from his backpack and piled them up.

Choi Si-yoon, who had found the reason, showed him his phone.

“It was a good gift that perfectly matched Seo-jun’s taste, but the timing was bad. Seo-jin hyung. It’s not snack time yet.”

“Damn… Bad biological clock!”

He restrained himself from swearing.

Next was Kevin’s turn.

When all three of them failed, Kevin swallowed his saliva.

Hmm. This was serious.

“I give up.”

“Give up? Why?”

At Park Seo-jin’s question, Kevin showed him the gift behind his back.

There were Hwang Ye-jun’s rabbit doll, choi Si-yoon’s snow globe, and Park Seo-jin’s snacks.

Kevin shrugged his shoulders.

“They didn’t say to buy only one thing.”

“This shameless…”

Hwang Ye-jun pointed his finger at him.

He couldn’t say anything out loud because Seo-jun was there and they were filming, but his face was cursing.

Choi Si-yoon and Park Seo-jin had the same expression.

After cursing with his face for a while, Park Seo-jin came to his senses.

“Well, then. This will be the purest ranking of affection.”

“Yeah. Trying to woo him with gifts is just a gift foot!”

Brown Black, who regained their confidence, put away all the gifts and sat side by side again.

“Okay, let’s start again-”

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang as they were about to start. At the sound, brown Black’s eyes reflexively turned to the clock.

2 p.m. sharp.

Brown Black and Jun’s 48 hours were over.

‘Hey, hyungs. Did you forget anything at 2 p.m.?’

“Ahh!!”

“Ah! Seo-jun’s formula!”
