Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 94

He felt nervous no matter how many times he said it.

With a tense face, seo Eun-chan told his parents and Seo-jun, who were staring at him blankly.

“I have someone I want to marry.”

“Is that so?”

“The head of the PR team?”

“Kim Su-ryeon?”

Seo Eun-chan’s serious face turned blank in an instant. His parents and Seo-jun smiled mischievously with their identical faces.

“How did you know?”

“Da Ho hyung told me!”

“The Brown Black kids told me. They said you and the team leader looked suspicious.”

Seo Eun-chan splashed water on his face.

‘How did they know? Wait a minute! If Ahn Da Ho and Brown Black, who occasionally visited the company, knew, then most of the employees working at the company knew.’

Seo Eun-chan’s mind went blank.

“…We didn’t tell anyone?”

“Da Ho hyung said so. Everyone knows but they don’t say anything. It was obvious.”

“I see…”

“But why all of a sudden?”

Seo Eun-chan came to his senses, remembering his foolish self who thought no one knew while secretly meeting with the employees. He wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

“I was wondering if we could have a meeting with the parents next week. I told mom.”

“Oh. Right. There was a meeting with the parents.”

Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-jun didn’t associate marriage and meeting with the parents right away. Because, their meeting with the parents was no different from usual, since they had known each other since they were young.

Their parents were also close friends, so they had a meal as casually as eating out.

How comfortable was it?

They had a pleasant conversation and came back, only to realize that it was a meeting with the parents.

They got together again and set the wedding date.

It was the first time for the couple, the grandmother, and the person in question, seo Eun-chan, to have such a normal meeting with the parents.

Seo Eun-hye, who was wondering what to prepare, looked at Seo-jun.

“What about Seo-jun?”

“Huh? Me?”

“It’s an important occasion, the meeting with the parents. Seo-jun is well-behaved, but it might be frustrating for him to stay still all the time.”

“That’s true. Maybe we can ask Da Ho ssi. Or the Brown Black kids.”

“Sister.”

Seo Eun-chan raised his hand cautiously.

“The father-in-law and mother-in-law said it’s okay to bring Seo-jun. They said they really enjoyed watching My Star.”

Seo Eun-chan’s words made Seo-jun and the couple think that it might be a more comfortable meeting with the parents than they thought.

***

They were right.

On the day of the meeting with the parents, the awkwardness that flowed through the meeting place melted away with Seo-jun’s words, ‘Do you want me to sign for you?’

The parents of Kim Su-ryeon, who were excited by the pictures taken with Seo-jun’s signature, brought up various topics.

“Our child has been praising the company president since he changed. There must be no subordinate who praises their boss like that.”

Kim Su-ryeon’s mother’s words made Seo Eun-chan and Kim Su-ryeon’s faces turn red as if they were on fire. Kim Su-ryeon’s father also smiled.

“Seo ssi is reliable and dependable, so it seems like he is running the company well.”

“I also heard a lot about the new baby. How much he praised Eun-chan for doing a good job.”

Ha ha ho ho, the meeting with the parents became harmonious with the two’s black history as a sacrifice.

Seo-jun, who was quietly listening to the love story of his uncle Eun-chan and aunt Su-ryeon, smiled. They all seemed to have agreed to the marriage and were talking about their son and daughter comfortably.

Eun-chan and Su-ryeon had been working together for 10 years already.

They had worked hard together under the previous president, and they had also worked together with Eun-chan as the president.

They didn’t know when they started dating, but the compliments they had casually told their families before dating came back to them like boomerangs at this place.

The two were blushing, but they seemed to like the compliments they had given each other, and they had a smile on their faces.

“Hello, seo-jun.”

“Hello.”

“Do you want to eat this?”

“Thank you.”

There were familiar faces too. Kim Hwa-ryeon, the doctor who had been with him on 48 Hours.

Kim Su-ryeon’s older sister, Kim Hwa-ryeon, put a steamed egg on the plate in front of Seo-jun. The steaming egg looked delicious.

Kim Hwa-ryeon smiled as she watched Seo-jun eat the egg.

It seemed like yesterday that she saw Seo-jun, who couldn’t even walk, while filming 48 Hours. Other people’s kids grew up so fast.

“Do you remember me?”

“Yes. We were together when we filmed 48 Hours, right?”

“Seo-jun is smart.”

Kim Hwa-ryeon was surprised and smiled. Kim Hwa-ryeon’s husband also looked at Seo-jun with a surprised face. Seo-jun smiled and looked at Kim Hwa-ryeon’s husband.

“Do you still have the first sign?”

“…Wow. I thought my heart was going to drop.”

Kim Hwa-ryeon’s husband, choi Minho, grabbed his heart. He was so surprised that his heart fluttered. Kim Hwa-ryeon’s eyes also widened.

“How did you know?”

“I remember seeing it then, and you also appeared as a fan number one on the 48 Hours broadcast before.”

“I didn’t think you would remember.”

No matter how much he appeared on the broadcast, who would remember after nine years? Kim Hwa-ryeon and Choi Minho applauded Seo-jun’s excellent memory in their minds.

Kim Hwa-ryeon turned her gaze to her parents and Seo-jun’s grandmother.

The three were still talking happily, bringing up the old stories of Seo Eun-chan and Kim Su-ryeon.

“I enjoyed watching The Royal Physician.”

“Me too. It was so much fun.”

“Thank you.”

“Our parents-in-law also cried while watching it. I’ll ask you for a sign later.”

Kim Su-ryeon whispered and Choi Minho asked for a favor with an awkward face. He didn’t know when he would meet him again if not now. Seo-jun nodded.

“Are you still a fan of the Brown Black hyungs?”

“Yes. I’m not a passionate fan who goes to events, but I listen to their songs regularly.”

“If you’re a fan for almost 10 years, that’s amazing. If you have time and tickets, you should definitely go to the concert.”

Choi Minho scratched the back of his neck awkwardly at Kim Hwa-ryeon’s words, who spoke with a smile. Seo-jun laughed.

“But how did you meet the teacher?”

It was an interesting combination.

The fan number one of Brown Black and the pediatrician who was with him when he filmed 48 Hours. Seo-jun’s eyes sparkled.

“I met him when I went to the hospital with my nephew. We recognized each other right away.”

“Honestly, it was a memorable encounter.”

The man who took the sign of an idol who hadn’t even debuted at the playground and the woman who was holding a baby while filming a YouTube entertainment show.

Kim Hwa-ryeon recognized Choi Minho, and Choi Minho became acquainted with her when he visited with his nephew.

They started dating and got married.

They had two children now.

“Didn’t you bring them today?”

“They’re probably busy playing with their cousin right now.”

Various stories came and went. Seo Eun-chan and Kim Su-ryeon’s wedding was set for January.

***

In August, when the typhoon was rising, Kim Hee-sang visited Seo-jun’s house to make clothes for the Halloween festival.

Since it was custom-made, Kim Hee-sang measured and recorded Seo-jun’s body size with ease.

“You’re so fluffy, you look like a doll!”

“Right? Mom and dad said I was super cute too.”

“Shall we use this picture for now?”

“Yeah!”

Seo-jun and Kim Hee-sang picked out one of the drawings from Seo-jun’s sketchbook. Then they drew a new one on a fresh sheet of paper, considering what Kim Hee-sang could make.

Swish-swish- Seo-jun’s eyes widened at the drawing. He wore a denim jacket with a hood and plain black pants.

“Hmm. Uncle. Isn’t this too plain?”

“I saw what you drew. That’s not a werewolf, that’s just a wolf. You’re covered in fur from head to toe. You need to look more human.”

Come to think of it, the werewolves in his previous life had various appearances. Some were closer to wolves, and some were closer to humans. Seo-jun’s drawing was closer to a wolf.

“People will think you’re a wolf if you’re too furry. Not a werewolf.”

“Hmm. That’s true.”

Seo-jun nodded.

“But you still have to be a wolf, so like this.”

Kim Hee-sang continued to draw.

The hood on the denim jacket looked like a wolf’s head.

It was mostly covered in gray fur, and he drew two wolf ears, a long snout, sharp fangs, and fierce eyes.

He drew a long and fluffy tail on the back of the black pants.

“When you wear the hood, it’ll probably look like a baseball cap, and your wolf snout will stick out and shadow your face. If you look from a distance, you’ll only see a wolf head and Seo-jun’s chin. I’ll make the gloves so that you can take them off by pulling your hands out of the gap between the sleeves and the gloves. The top part will be connected to the sleeves, so you won’t lose them. I’ll make the wolf claws on the gloves soft and fluffy.”

“And the fangs too!”

As they talked about the Halloween costume, seo-jun and Kim Hee-sang’s attention soon turned to Kim Hee-sang’s son, Kim Subin, who was born a month ago.

“Do you want to see Subin’s pictures?”

“Yeah!”

They couldn’t go see him yet since he was only a month old, but it was nice to see him in pictures. Kim Hee-sang showed them the pictures he had taken.

“He’s so small.”

In the pictures Kim Hee-sang showed them, there was a very small baby. He was so small that Seo-jun unconsciously lowered his voice.

When Seo-jun was a baby, he was small too, but he didn’t think much of it because his baby friends were also small. But now that he was big, the baby looked so tiny.

He saw pictures from when he was born, when they visited him at the hospital, when he was at the maternity center, and when they took him home.

“There’s a video too.”

Kim Hee-sang showed them the video. On the fluffy blanket, there was a newborn baby, Kim Subin, smiling brightly. Along with Subin’s image, the video had the laughter of Kim Hee-sang and Choi Soohee, who were not visible.

“He’s so cute, right?”

“Yeah!”

It was Seo-jun’s first time seeing such a young baby, and he looked at the pictures and videos that Kim Hee-sang had taken.

He wondered how many he had taken, and he looked at them until Seo Eun-hye, who had gone out, came back. Seo Eun-hye also joined them in looking at the pictures.

“Seo-jun was like this too when he was this small. He was so cute.”

“Our Subin is the cutest!”

“What are you talking about? Our Seo-jun is the cutest!”

Kim Hee-sang and Seo Eun-hye laughed and chatted. Seo-jun was still looking at the pictures on the phone.

The baby who couldn’t even open his eyes and was wrinkled was so cute. A little brother! He wished he would grow up fast so they could play together.

“…I have a favor to ask.”

Unlike his usual cheerful self, Kim Hee-sang hesitated and opened his mouth.

At his voice, seo Eun-hye and Seo-jun, who had been smiling without realizing it while looking at the pictures, raised their heads and looked at Kim Hee-sang.

“Huh? A favor?”

“…Can I ask you something when I don’t know something while raising Subin? I’ll only ask when it’s really necessary.”

Kim Hee-sang wanted to raise Subin healthy and strong like Seo-jun. Seo Eun-hye, who blinked her eyes at the unexpected question, opened her mouth.

“You know it too. Our Seo-jun grew up normally. Of course, acting and living in America are a bit special… But for everything else, I mostly bought things based on internet reviews or recommendations from other moms.”

“But still, I don’t know, becoming a dad makes me worry about even the smallest things. I want to give him only the best, and I hope Subin grows up happy like Seo-jun.”

Seo Eun-hye smiled at Kim Hee-sang’s shy expression. She thought he would never grow up when she saw him playing with Seo-jun, but he had already become a father.

“Okay. Ask me anything. I’ll teach you everything I know.”

“Thank you.”

“Ugh. I’m getting goosebumps. Just act like you always do.”

“Ahahaha. Should I?”

“So what are you curious about?”

“Things like toys or fairy tales that Seo-jun liked to play with. I’ve decided on the formula. Elephant formula. It’s still very popular.”

“I recommend the formula. But.”

“Huh?”

“You know what toys Seo-jun liked to play with. The dolls you made.”

As if he hadn’t thought of that, Kim Hee-sang’s face was surprised, and Seo Eun-hye and Seo-jun burst into laughter.

‘But the baby friends didn’t like them much. I wonder if Subin will like them. If he does, I’ll play with him!’

Seo-jun wondered which of the monster dolls he had would be liked by the baby.

***

‘The Royal Physician’ was exported to various countries, and all 24 episodes of ‘The Royal Physician’ were uploaded to Plus+.

The people of the countries that started airing ‘The Royal Physician’ were curious about the behind-the-scenes stories of ‘The Royal Physician’ and joined Plus+.

Seo-jun heard the news that the actors who appeared in ‘The Royal Physician’ were getting love calls from everywhere.

There was also a CF that Do-hoon and Ji-seok filmed together. There was also a CF that Uncle Jong-ho appeared in.

Seo-jun also received a lot of CF offers, but he refused them all.

The success of ‘The Royal Physician’ increased not only the CF offers, but also the amount of scripts and synopses that came to Seo-jun.

The problem was the quality of the scripts. There were many scripts that were sent with the thought that if Seo-jun chose them, they would get a huge investment even with a shoddy script.

Seo-jun’s dedicated team 2 was filtering them, but the amount of scripts that reached Seo-jun also increased by 1.5 times.

He read the piles of scripts and synopses, did his summer vacation homework, and Seo-jun’s summer vacation ended and the second semester of his third grade began.
