Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 76

“Here, try these on.”

Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da Ho took out hats, masks, and colorful clothes from their bags.

Seo-jun stared at the clothes they had taken out.

‘I don’t know much about fashion, but I just wear the clothes that mom and dad give me, but this is a bit too much.’

His lips puckered at the eye-hurting yellow and blue primary colors, clothes that even kindergarteners wouldn’t wear.

“I’m not wearing this.”

“No, seo-jun. You have to wear this.”

He thought it was a joke as always, but when Seo Eun-chan said it with a serious face, seo-jun and his parents tilted their heads.

“What’s wrong? What’s going on?”

Seo Eun-chan frowned and Ahn Da Ho sighed without realizing it.

“The reporters are all over the airport. If Seo-jun wants to go to the film festival in the US, he has to take a plane, so they found out the schedules of the planes that arrive in the east coast, the west coast, or the ones that stop over, and they seem to plan to wait until the awards ceremony.”

“You can think of them waiting at the airport for almost 24 hours.”

The parents and Seo-jun were speechless. Seeing that, seo Eun-chan took out his phone. The screenshots of the photos and comments on the smartphone screen were shown.

“SNS is crazy. Let the kid go comfortably. It’s a big deal if Seo-jun gets hurt. Cocoa Entertainment should hire bodyguards.”

“They already did.”

“Wow.”

The parents and Seo-jun, who were just happy to go to the US, closed their mouths and listened to Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da Ho’s story.

Seo Eun-chan rubbed his head as if he had a headache.

“I see some signs of that, so I think we should go to the US as soon as possible. If you wear these clothes, people will think there’s no way it’s Seo-jun, right?”

“Some signs?”

“They start by taking pictures of the kids first. Especially the ones who cover their faces and wear hats, the reporters who take pictures of kids who are as big as Seo-jun are starting to show up.”

“That’s a big deal.”

“Then why don’t you just tell them the day you’re going?”

The four people looked at Seo-jun, who asked.

Seo-jun pushed the clothes that his uncle and brother brought with his feet and said.

“Then the airport guests won’t be uncomfortable, and there won’t be any other kids getting photographed. Wouldn’t it be okay if you just get ready and go?”

I don’t want to wear these clothes either.

Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da Ho thought about Seo-jun’s words. Then they sighed.

“That’s true, but… I’m worried because Seo-jun hasn’t met the reporters and fans up close like that.”

“More than at the fan meeting?”

“It would be less than that, but the fan meeting was all people who liked Seo-jun. And they were all sitting in their seats and it was safe. But the airport doesn’t have that kind of boundary, so I’m worried that Seo-jun might get crushed by people because he’s small.”

Was it an illusion that the word ‘small’ sounded loud? Seo-jun, who was the tallest in his class, said.

“I’m fine. Anyway, there will be a lot of reporters at the film festival, and there will be a lot of reporters when I come back from the US! I think of it as a trial in advance, what!”

Seo Eun-chan’s gaze turned to the parents. Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun were lost in thought.

“Is Seo-jun safe?”

“We’ll have a lot of bodyguards, and it’ll be okay if we cooperate with the airport. We’ll set up a photo zone separately.”

“What do you think is better, Eun-chan?”

“If it’s possible to control it, it would be better to just reveal it. If we sneak in without people knowing, the bodyguards will have to stick less, so it would be more dangerous if someone notices.”

“Then let’s just reveal it.”

With the permission of the parents and Seo-jun, seo-jun’s departure date and time were uploaded to Seo-jun’s fan cafe.

The announcement was soon turned into an article, and the reporters who were waiting at the airport also left one by one.

Some reporters doubted it, but they all withdrew, thinking they wouldn’t deceive the fans.

The airport was peaceful again.

***

The day came when they had to leave for the WTV film festival. Seo Eun-chan and Ahn Da Ho, who were going to the US with them, came to Seo-jun’s house.

“Sister and brother-in-law are already at the airport.”

As they checked for any missing items, turned off the gas, and checked the gifts for their acquaintances, seo-jun tilted his head at Seo Eun-chan’s words.

“Do we have to go first?”

“Yeah. They don’t know sister and brother-in-law’s faces, so it’ll be okay. If we go with Seo-jun, our faces will be in the pictures, and it’ll be hard for the bodyguards to focus on Seo-jun if they have to protect two more people.”

“Oh, I see.”

The parents nodded. Seo Eun-chan crossed his arms and sighed.

“The fans are also talking to each other to be careful in the fan cafe, so I feel a little relieved… But I’m still worried.”

“It’s okay!”

Seo-jun smiled brightly and said.

“The fans are so nice!”

“Well. They’re nice when you meet them one by one, but when they gather in a group, they get excited and you never know what will happen.”

It was obvious that a situation would arise where they would follow whoever moved a little. Crowd psychology was scary.

Seo Eun-chan shivered as he recalled the day of Brown Black’s departure and arrival.

Seo-jun giggled and grabbed his wrist. He already had a plan.

***

“Is that car, chan’s?”

“It looks like it? Wow. That must be really expensive…”

“He’s a Hollywood star, after all.”

A sleek black car slid into the airport. Outside, the reporters waiting for it pressed their shutters incessantly, and the fans standing with them screamed. The bodyguards who had been on standby headed toward the car.

“There are so many fans. He’s a Hollywood actor, but I thought there wouldn’t be many fans coming to the airport since he’s a child actor.”

“He’s not just any child actor. He’s Seo-jun Lee, the special one. Everyone has cried because of William or been overwhelmed by Baby Shaman. And there are many people who became fans because of his acting in Jin Natra. When they see his acting, they must want to see him in person at least once.”

The two reporters kept pressing their shutters as they talked.

Even if they just uploaded the pictures of that big car with the title ‘Seo-jun Lee’, they wouldn’t have to worry about the views.

The bodyguards took their positions, and soon the thick car door opened.

A man who looked like a manager got out, followed by Seo-jun in a pastel-toned casual outfit.

He smiled brightly in clothes that were much better than the childish ones he wore before. His smile made the cameras flash and the cheers erupt.

Ahn Da Ho held Seo-jun’s hand tightly and moved slowly through the bodyguards.

Seo-jun smiled brightly, waving his hand diligently at his name that popped up everywhere. His movement made the wolf-shaped backpack on his back sway.

“Is that a Monster Company backpack? They’ve grown a lot too. Someone took a picture of Seo-jun’s pencil case and posted it on the internet, and it sold out too.”

“That’s Seo-jun’s father’s company. The co-CEO is his father’s friend.”

The two people holding the cameras didn’t stop their hands as they talked. The fans and the reporters followed Seo-jun’s movement into the airport.

The airport had prepared a different passage so that the customers wouldn’t be harmed.

“Those clothes will sell a lot too. These days, metal badges are out, and Seo-jun’s fans who couldn’t use Monster Company products because they were for kids started buying them too. Oh, that one.”

A shiny badge on the wolf-shaped backpack on Seo-jun’s back was visible. It was a wolf with sharp teeth. The two people zoomed in and took a picture of the badge.

“People say that parents buy a lot of things that Seo-jun uses. It’s a product that a Hollywood star uses, and he doesn’t even do commercials, so it’s more trustworthy because it’s what he actually uses.”

“It’s amazing that he doesn’t do them even though they offer him a lot of money.”

The bodyguards passed by with Seo-jun and Ahn Da Ho. Seo-jun’s name was called everywhere in the airport.

People who were going to leave the country or enter the country were drawn to the crowd and wondered who it was.

They peeked their heads out or searched the internet.

Seo-jun?!

Where did that sound come from and people gathered and gathered.

The tension grew among the bodyguards as more and more people gathered.

They tensed up their bodies.

Ahn Da Ho was ready to pick up Seo-jun and run if necessary.

When he felt the strength in the hand that Ahn Da Ho held, seo-jun chuckled and touched his wrist.

[(Pre) Calming Apple Blossom Scent-Medium Level- is activated.]

[(Pre) Calming Apple Blossom Scent-Medium Level]

It is the flower of the apple tree that puts people into eternal sleep.

Unlike the poisonous fruit (apple), the flower only has a calming effect.

You feel calm when you smell the scent.

When the apple blossoms fall and you eat the fruit, the apple, it becomes poison. There is a story that a princess of a certain country ate that apple and never woke up. But the scent of the apple blossom is made into perfume and used as a sedative, so it became a good medicine for people.

‘This is perfect for this situation!’

A sweet scent began to flow from the white apple blossom pattern on his wrist. And he adjusted his breathing to make the effect more effective.

Something started to spew out of Seo-jun, who had been ordinary until a moment ago.

The reporters and fans who had been watching Seo-jun with their cameras noticed the change.

They all gasped at the aura that flowed from Seo-jun’s body.

“Look at that charisma. He’s just standing there, but he feels completely different from ordinary people.”

“Not many celebrities have that kind of vibe either.”

The fans who also took pictures of other celebrities and posted them on SNS nodded their heads in agreement with the reporter’s words.

There were celebrities who clearly showed their star quality even when they wore shabby clothes, but there were also celebrities who made people wonder who they were even when they dressed up.

Seo-jun, who was only eight years old, was a celebrity that anyone could see shining brightly.

“It’s amazing. He’s so different even when he passes by, how can he live normally?”

“Sniff. But where does the flower scent come from?”

“Flower scent? Sniff sniff. I don’t smell anything.”

The fans and reporters who had been taking pictures of Seo-jun with their big cameras sniffed at the sweet scent.

The footsteps that had been pressing toward Seo-jun stopped.

The heat that had been heating up the airport slowly subsided.

Their hearts calmed down as they smelled the sweet flower scent. But they couldn’t completely cool down their passion, so they calmly pressed their shutters.

The bodyguards and Ahn Da Ho, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief after smelling the flower scent.

They calmly and coolly continued their security.

They decided to have a short interview and take pictures on the stage prepared at one side of the airport.

When Seo-jun grabbed the microphone and went up on the stage, some of the people who couldn’t hear shouted, but they felt embarrassed by the calm atmosphere except for themselves and closed their mouths.

There were few people who smelled the apple blossom scent, but the crowd psychology that Seo Eun-chan was worried about worked in reverse, and they all closed their mouths and stayed quiet.

‘It really works well!’

He greeted them with a relaxed mind and was going to leave for America.

Seo-jun smiled brightly, and the camera lenses turned to Seo-jun.

The sound of click-click and the flash went off.

“Hello. I’m Seo-jun Lee.”

Seo-jun bowed.

The fans who saw him in person for the first time held their hearts and wanted to scream as much as they wanted, but the flower scent stopped them.

The fans’ hearts fought hard between the happy feeling of meeting Seo-jun and the ability that made them calm. In the end, the agreed heart moved both hands, and a loud applause sound burst out everywhere.

Clap clap-!!

The bodyguards and reporters were rather puzzled by the reaction of the well-behaved fans. Some reporters even turned their cameras to the fans.

A security guard who came out of the airport tilted his head.

What should I say?

It was a peaceful feeling.

There was no one running or screaming. He wondered if they were considerate because he was a child actor.

“Everyone is so quiet.”

“I wish it was like this every day.”

Even if it was just Brown Black, who belonged to the same agency, the airport would be in chaos whenever they showed up.

The bodyguards who had experienced such situations were nervous, but they also did their job diligently while being bewildered.

One of the reporters asked Seo-jun a question as a representative.

The questions they could ask an eight-year-old child actor who had no scandals or problematic incidents were similar no matter who asked them, so they all took out their laptops without much competition.

“How do you feel about being nominated for the film festival?”

“It was something I never expected, so my heart is racing! Thank you to everyone who voted for me! Even if I don’t win this time, I’ll work hard to win next time!”

Seo-jun answered with a clenched fist and a bright-eyed expression, and a squeal of delight was heard from here and there, but soon they closed their mouths in embarrassment at the sight of the people who had no reaction.

Only the sound of applause echoed in the airport.

Some of the reporters who were puzzled by the quiet response turned their heads and looked at the fans, and swallowed their saliva.

It wasn’t that bad… They bit their lips hard, but they felt the passion that spewed from the fans’ sparkling eyes and the clapping hands that hurt their palms.

And they felt the inexplicable frenzy from the still bodies.

A few more questions followed and a short photo time passed.

There was no loud scream or oppressive atmosphere, but they all moved their fingers diligently. Click-click. Only the sound of the shutter rang in the quiet.

The bodyguards and Ahn Da Ho sighed with relief at the safe atmosphere and admired the fans’ self-restraint for Seo-jun. My goodness! There are fans like this too!

It was time to head to the departure hall. As he walked with one hand held by Ahn Da Ho, seo-jun couldn’t take his eyes off the fans and waved his hand diligently.

The distance between the fans and Seo-jun gradually widened.

As the source of the scent got farther and farther away, the voices that had been suppressed by the fans popped out from here and there.

“Seo-jun! Win the award!”

“I voted with my mom and dad too!”

But thanks to the flower scent that floated in the air, the quiet atmosphere didn’t break.

Even without expressing it with cheers, seo-jun recognized the fans’ hearts through their sparkling eyes and smiled brightly.

“Thank you! I’ll be back soon!”

The fans who were moved by the sight of Seo-jun waving his hand until he disappeared beyond the departure hall covered their mouths.

He’s so cute!

[Seo-jun Lee leaves for the US to attend the WTV Film Festival!]

[Today is the day. The airport security guard’s view of the fans’ attitude!]

[Monster Company’s products never miss a day!]

[Seo-jun’s airport fashion! How much is it?]

Seo-jun’s departure was a hot topic, but so was the attitude of Seo-jun’s fans.

They showed their love for Seo-jun in the quietness and everyone applauded them.

[Title: Today was really amazing.]

I went on a trip and came back to Korea today. It happened to be Seo-jun’s departure time, so I waited to see his face and go.

I use the airport a lot for work, so I see celebrities leaving and entering a lot, but it was never such a mess.

They hold up their phone cameras and the celebrities and bodyguards get pushed by the fans. They even block the gate. It’s no joke. So I didn’t go near and watched from afar…

Contrary to expectations, it was so quiet.

The number of people gathered was similar to famous idols, but it was really quiet. It seemed like there was a loud noise, but it soon became quiet.

I only heard the reporters’ questions, the camera sounds, and Seo-jun’s voice.

The response was only applauseㅋㅋ It wasn’t that they were indifferent. How should I put it, it felt like the only response we were allowed was applauseㅋㅋ You could see their faces were really moved and heart-fluttering, but they didn’t scream or approachㅋㅋ

Seo-jun’s fan, really amazing.

-It’s probably because he’s young. There was a post on the fan cafe saying that. They said to refrain from going to the airport and screaming.

=There aren’t many fans who follow that post, but they’re really united.

Before the plane took off, seo-jun looked at the internet articles and left a post on the fan cafe.

The fans left comments saying they cried and that it was okay if he didn’t win the award, and to be careful and come back safely.
