Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 95

“Seo-jun, hee-sang is here. Let’s go quickly.”

“Okay!”

Seo-jun quickly came out of his room with a bag that had a wolf drawing on it, following his mother’s words.

At the entrance, there were a suitcase and his parents, who were going to use it for a week-long trip.

They also had excited faces like Seo-jun.

“We’ll be quiet this time.”

“I hope so.”

They didn’t announce their departure this time. It was just a family trip to enjoy the festival.

Kim Hee-sang agreed to take Seo-jun and his parents to the airport, so they loaded their luggage into his car and got in.

He didn’t know when he moved it, but there was Seo-jun’s car seat in the car.

Kim Hee-sang practiced installing it himself.

He had done it a few times when Seo-jun was young, so he was able to install it easily.

“Experience seems to be important for everything.”

Kim Hee-sang smiled broadly as he grabbed the steering wheel.

The experience of taking care of baby Seo-jun after Kim Subin was born was very helpful. His body remembered even if his head forgot.

Kim Subin, who seemed a little uncomfortable in the arms of Choi Soohee, who had just become a mother, smiled comfortably in Kim Hee-sang’s arms.

“Uncle. Is Subin sleeping well these days?”

“Yeah. She sleeps very well. She really likes the slime doll that Seo-jun gave her.”

Kim Hee-sang’s car headed to the airport. These days, whenever Kim Hee-sang and Seo-jun’s family met and talked, it was always about Subin.

The slime doll was a gift from Seo-jun because Subin couldn’t sleep well.

He originally wanted to give him a doll he had, but it looked too old because he had it for a long time.

So Seo-jun bought it himself with his allowance from the Monster Company website.

A fluffy green slime doll.

He put the ability to calm the mind in the doll and wrapped it himself and gave it to Subin.

Seo-jun smiled broadly at Kim Hee-sang’s words.

“Right? That’s a really good thing.”

“Thanks to that, soohee and I are sleeping well these days. But what did you do with it? How do you sleep so comfortably? It’s completely become a comfort doll.”

“Um. It’s because it’s fluffy.”

He couldn’t say he used his ability. Seo-jun giggled and gave the reason he had thought of.

“I made it just the right fluffiness. If Subin can’t sleep well next time, bring it back. I’ll make it fluffy again.”

“Is that so? I can’t feel much difference from other things. Subin seems to have a ghostly sense of it. Last time, when the slime was less dry, I gave him a different doll, and he turned his head. How did you do that?”

“We have something in common. Adults don’t know!”

The adults laughed at Seo-jun’s words. The time to go to the airport felt short with the stories about Subin.

Kim Hee-sang’s car stopped in front of the international airport. Because of the chilly weather, everyone was hunched over their shoulders, and no one paid attention to Seo-jun, who was wearing a scarf and a hat.

Seo-jun’s family got out of the car and said goodbye to Kim Hee-sang.

Seo-jun. Kim Hee-sang called Seo-jun with his mouth. Seo-jun looked up at Kim Hee-sang, who was sitting in the driver’s seat.

“Huh?”

“Have a good time at the festival!”

“Okay! I’ll show everyone the perfect werewolf! I’ll take pictures too!”

If Seo-jun was so excited to act as a werewolf, wouldn’t it be on the news that a real one appeared? Kim Hee-sang was glad that the clothes he made didn’t look so realistic.

“Um. I think it’s okay to do it a little weaker. Seo-jun.”

Seo-jun blinked and tilted his head.

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. Moderation is good for everything. You guys have a good trip too.”

“Be careful.”

As Kim Hee-sang waved his hand, seo-jun and his parents waved back.

Seo-jun and his parents left Kim Hee-sang’s car and quickly entered the airport in the chilly wind.

They hid their faces well at the airport, but they couldn’t hide them in the plane for more than 10 hours.

They took pictures, signed autographs, slept, and ate the in-flight meal, and before they knew it, they arrived in Paris, France.

Seo-jun waved his hand and left, and the people who took the same plane as him started posting on SNS as soon as they could use their phones.

-I saw Lee Seo-jun! Paris-bound plane!

-I was on the same plane as Lee Seo-jun! It must be a family trip. Autograph!

Journalists who searched for [#Lee Seo-jun] on SNS once a day started writing articles in an instant.

[Actor Lee Seo-jun, spotted on a Paris-bound plane!]

[What’s in Paris? Actor Lee Seo-jun, to France Paris!]

And the quick-witted journalists reacted to the keyword of family trip.

They searched for ‘Monster Company’, where Lee Min-jun, seo-jun’s father, worked, and there were several articles. It was more surprising that they didn’t know until now.

“The Royal Physician was so hot.”

“I know. I don’t know how many articles were buried because of The Royal Physician. They’re making a fuss about making a DVD now.”

“DVD?”

“Yes. Usually, when you buy a DVD or something, they give you something related to the drama. The viewers of The Royal Physician want the script that Lee Seo-jun read. They’re curious about what he wrote so hard during the reading video.”

“That would sell a lot.”

The reporter who was writing an article with the title ‘The Royal Physician, export amount is amazing?!’ until a while ago lowered his head at the junior’s words and started writing a new article.

[Monster, sponsoring Halloween festival in Orsay, France!]

[A city near Paris, orche!]

[Actor Lee Seo-jun, attending the Halloween festival?]

-Wow, I live in Paris! Should I go to Orche?

-I’m thinking of going to Belgium.

-I’m in the UK. I’m torn. When will I ever see Seo-jun?

-The Halloween festival is in two days, so it’s too hard to go now.

-But the Halloween festival looks fun.

-Must read) I attended the Orche festival. It’s really hard to recognize people there. Everyone comes in costumes. There are so many kids, too. You wouldn’t even notice Seo-jun if he walked right past you.

=LOL, I guess so.

***

Choi Ye-seul, an employee of Monster Inc., entered the warehouse with a box. She shouted to the other employees who were organizing the stuff inside.

“This is the last one!”

“Good job!”

They had moved all the items to the warehouse prepared by the Orche City Hall. The team leader nodded as he checked the schedule.

The festival would start at 5 p.m. tomorrow. They would set up the booth at the square in the morning, so they were done for today. They had to rest early today since they would be busy tomorrow.

“Let’s wrap up today’s work. It’s a bit early, but shall we go for dinner?”

“Yes!”

The employees of Monster Inc. locked the warehouse door and headed to a nearby restaurant.

The team leader, who spoke French quite well, explained the menu to them. Respect, boss!

They all listened attentively to his explanation.

They ordered their favorite dishes, considering the ingredients and allergies.

“The pasta here is delicious.”

“I got a recommendation from a city hall employee. They said this place has a good beef bourguignon, too.”

“What’s beef bourguignon?”

“It’s a beef stew dish. It’s made with beef, red wine, vegetables, mushrooms, and so on. It’s cooked for a long time. Do you want to order it?”

“Yes!”

They were on a business trip, but they were all excited to be in France for the first time.

The CEO suggested that they could take a vacation in France after the Orche Halloween festival.

Most of them planned to do that.

“This is awesome. It’s my first time abroad.”

“Me too. I thought my first overseas trip would be to a country close to Korea, but France? I’m going to Italy as soon as the work is over. I’ve always wanted to go there!”

“I was thinking the same thing! I’m going to Belgium.”

They chatted happily, not looking like people who came on a business trip.

They enjoyed their leisure time with dessert after an early dinner. Among the employees who were browsing the internet for news from Korea, choi Ye-seul suddenly got up with a shocked expression.

“Wow!”

“What’s wrong, Ye-seul?”

She showed her phone screen to the team leader without a word.

[Actor Seo-jun, family trip destination is France!]

[Seo-jun, attending the Halloween festival in Orche?!]

[Orche’ specialty, wine!]

[Monster Inc., sponsoring the Orche festival!]

The team leader, who was reading the article, turned pale and said.

“Wow. Seo-jun is in France.”

At the sound of Seo-jun’s name, they all gathered around Choi Ye-seul’s phone.

“I really enjoyed watching The Royal Physician!”

“Honestly, isn’t it hard to find people who haven’t watched The Royal Physician?”

“I watched it on replay until episode 10, then I watched it live. I couldn’t wait for the replay to be uploaded.”

“I cried so much. Episode 14, and the last episode, too.”

“All The Royal Physician fans must have cried, right? I heard there might be a DVD release, is that true?”

“Yes. I hope they give us a script book as a souvenir.”

They were all cheerful. Only Choi Ye-seul had a serious expression. The team leader noticed that and tilted his head.

“Ye-seul, are you sick? Do you want to go back and rest?”

“No. It’s not that…”

Choi Ye-seul sighed without realizing it. The eyes of the employees who were happily talking about Seo-jun turned to Choi Ye-seul. She clicked on one of the articles with her finger.

“It says here that Seo-jun is on a family trip, right?”

“Yeah?”

“It also says he might come to Orche, right?”

“Then we might see him passing by! I thought we could see him at the company since he’s the son of our CEO, but we never did… Huh?”

The employee who was talking stopped.

‘I thought I could see him, too…’ The other employees who agreed with his words also looked at the article with a dawning realization. Even the team leader had a stiff face.

[Actor Seo-jun, family trip destination is France!]

The word ‘family trip’ seemed to stand out in bold and large letters.

“…If Seo-jun is family, then our CEO is…”

“…!”

“The CEO might come here, too.”

The atmosphere that was warm and friendly turned gloomy in an instant.

***

Seo-jun and his parents, who had adjusted to the time difference, decided to visit the Eiffel Tower.

It was a famous tourist spot, and there were still many people even at the time when the sun was setting.

Seo-jun looked at the huge tower in front of him.

The Eiffel Tower, which was seen with the sinking sunset, was really cool.

Seo-jun and his parents looked at the Eiffel Tower without a word.

“They’ll turn on the lights soon. It’ll be even cooler then.”

“Shall we wait and take a picture?”

“Yeah!”

They had fun walking around freely without anyone recognizing them because they were in a foreign country.

Seo-jun and his parents, who were excited about the unexpected trip, took pictures here and there.

While they were doing that, Lee Min-jun’s phone rang. It was Kim Hee-sang’s call. Lee Min-jun, who answered the phone, rubbed his neck as if his blood pressure had risen.

“Dad, who is it?”

“Hee-sang.”

“Kim Hee-sang? What does he want?”

“He said our company has a booth at the Orche Halloween festival. He told me to stop by and check how they’re doing.”

Lee Min-jun’s words made Seo Eun-hye tilt her head.

“Didn’t you take a vacation and come here?”

“I did. But he said I should take a look at Orche since we’re going there anyway. This guy, he’s making me work even on vacation.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter since we’re going there anyway, right?”

“…I don’t want to work until the end of the vacation…”

Lee Min-jun sighed, and Seo-jun and Seo-eun-hye hugged him warmly.

“Come on, come on. Let’s think about that later and enjoy the trip now.”

“Leave tomorrow’s work to tomorrow’s dad!”

Seo-jun’s words made Lee Min-jun laugh.
