Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 71

This is the last time I hold this microphone.

He felt a warmth from the hard microphone. 

He only had a voice role, but being here made him feel like he was really the Blue Dragon, acting on the stage. 

Seo-jun looked around the place where he was standing.

This is really the last time.

He felt a tear welling up in his eye.

He could meet his older brothers and sisters again, and it wasnt like they were saying goodbye forever, but he didnt know why he was crying. He wasnt like this when he filmed the movie.

Beep-

The sound of the start of the performance was heard.

Now, its the last performance.

Since its the last time, lets do our best!

Seo-juns eyes sparkled.

[(Good) The weak peer of the Blue Dragon Haechling is activated.]

Seo-jun used his ability. Seo-juns pupils turned into the color of the sea and his hair started to turn blue from the ends. Two horns grew from his head and dragon scales sprouted on his cheeks and chin.

A little more.

Seo-jun closed his eyes tightly and started to breathe.

[(Good) The basic breathing of the elves is activated.]

A little more.

Until the tips of the five fingers holding the microphone, the white line turned blue as it turned into sharp claws.

Seo-jun realized the use of that fact. Seo-jun opened his eyes and looked at one side.

Following the place where his sea-colored pupils touched, the blue line that was swirling inside Seo-juns body ran along the wall and headed for the dragon model that was hidden behind the screen.

The blue line that turned into the Blue Dragon like a wave of waves wrapped around the dragon model. The Blue Dragon that wore the dragon like a veil gave life to the dragon model that moved like a machine.

The large eyes closed softly and the beard that moved regularly waved gently. The mane that was stiffly standing looked like it was swaying in the wind. The blue scales that were covered with artificial colors turned into a vibrant sea color.

And,

Seo-jun became the Blue Dragon.

[Ooooh.]

The low roar of the beast-like Blue Dragon announced the start of the performance.

How will it be today, the audience who were curious and the audience who came to see the reviews shivered at the sound.

The fur on their bodies was prickly enough to spill out of their ears. As if the story on the stage became real, everything came closer than ever.

They all fell into the play without saying a word.

The sound of coughing, the sound of chairs shaking by the movement of the body, the sound of children talking, no noise appeared in the theater. They all looked at the stage with their bodies tense.

The children on the stage had no time to look at the audience, thinking that it was the last performance, they moved harder than ever.

They spoke, moved, cried, and laughed. Their heart-wrenching acting made their hearts pound.

And the Blue Dragon appeared through the screen. Not only the audience who saw the play for the first time, but also the audience who saw the play several times and the staff who installed the Blue Dragon themselves opened their mouths without knowing it at the sight of the Blue Dragon that seemed to be alive.

The long beard that moved mechanically, the stiff fur, and the movement of the eyelids that were hard, all disappeared.

The hard scales of the Blue Dragon sparkled in the light. The paint that was painted blue turned into a mysterious deep sea color.

As if breathing, a faint wind seemed to come out of the Blue Dragons nose.

The blue eyes of the dragon that looked like a picture had a mysterious life in them and the claws of the two feet that were awkwardly attached were sharp enough to pierce anything. The blue mane of the Blue Dragon swayed in the wind.

Really,

It seemed like there was a living dragon in front of them.

The huge Blue Dragon hit his head on the theater and looked down at them.

If they went out of the Milky Way Center, there would be a huge body of the Blue Dragon floating in the sky.

[You found the Yeoui-ju. Thank you.]

The Blue Dragons mouth opened slightly and his sharp teeth were visible. Suddenly, the stage director remembered something. That mouth shouldnt open? The beard and mane moved as if they were swaying in the wind to match the movement of the mouth.

The heavy voice penetrated the hearts of the audience.

Seo-jun, who became a dragon, remembered the life of Haechling he found in the Library of Life.

He remembered his grandfather who lived with Haechling when he was young. A large body with a kind face. The Blue Dragon, the guardian of the human kingdom.

He was kind to Haechling, but his grandfather did not forget the distance from humans. He generously gave them, but did not let favor become a right, and maintained his coldness toward humans. Haechling wanted to be such a dragon.

He followed his grandfather at the first stage. But as he went through the stages, Seo-jun, Haechling, grew up.

This appearance was himself, not following his grandfather or anyone else. He died early and couldnt become the guardian dragon of the human kingdom, but

[Ill grant you a wish in return.]

At the words of the living Blue Dragon, some of the children and people in the audience naturally clasped their hands. Seo-jun saw people with desperate expressions in his eyes.

Although it was a lie, he thought that maybe he had become the guardian dragon that Haechling wanted at this moment.

The play was over. The heavy curtain covered the stage and came down.

The audience was bright, but the shock of the living Blue Dragon was so great that there was only a heavy silence in the audience.

Soon the curtain rose and the children who appeared on the stage to greet them appeared. They were sweating, but they were breathing hard as if they were out of breath, and they smiled brightly.

As they saw the children smiling,

Clap!!!

Clap clap clap!!!

Wow!!

The people who jumped up from their seats sent applause and cheers. The children and adults alike, it was the biggest cheer ever.

Awesome!

It was the best!

Lee Da-jin!!

Someone called his name, and Lee Da-jin, dressed as a hunter, came forward and bowed and waved his hands.

The audience who had seen the play several times and memorized all the actors in the pamphlet called out the names of each one.

The child who was called his name didnt know what to do, so Lee Da-jin smiled and pushed his back.

The children also greeted with a shy but bright smile and waved their hands.

And, one last person was left. He never appeared on the stage, but he was an actor who captivated the hearts of children and adults with his voice alone.

Today, he gave a more sacred and heavy voice than ever.

The eyes of the audience turned to one child. Among the children wearing hanbok, there was one child wearing a T-shirt and pants.

Kim Soo-han, who came to see the play with his friends today, shouted.

Na-jin!!

Seo-jun, wearing a hat, stepped forward at the name.

The childrens voices saying Blue Dragon! Blue Dragon! were heard here and there. Seo-jun looked around the audience and bowed his waist. And he waved his hands.

Lets see your face in the next work!!

The audience laughed at that. The actors also laughed and stood side by side. And they held hands with their friends next to them.

Seo-jun also held his older brothers and sisters hands tightly. He felt the emotion of the actors in the hands that were holding each other.

One, two.

Thank you!

The last stage was over.

Good job!

Its over!

The play was over. There was no more practice or performance. The kids who cried their eyes out backstage hugged each other and raised their glasses of soda.

In the middle of the practice room, there were delicious foods like pizza, chicken, and pork feet.

As the tension eased and they sobbed, the hungry kids quickly filled their stomachs. Seo-jun, who had red eyes, also bit into a slice of pizza.

He chewed the pizza and thought.

His life as a dragon had nothing to do with the history of the character he had studied. He had just used the appropriate ability in a makeshift way.

But this time it was different. The fact that they were similar races, that they cared for humans. And the life that Hae-chul-ling wanted. Many things in the play situation resembled his life as a dragon.

Was that why? He felt that Hae-chul-ling, who had not grown up because of his short life, grew up according to his acting.

In the end, Hae-chul-ling showed his own dignity, not his grandfathers.

Did he become the guardian dragon he dreamed of?

The dragon-shaped ability in the middle of his neck sparkled with satisfaction. He bowed his head and glanced at it. He couldnt see the pattern, but the blue light it emitted was so intense that it hurt his eyes.

He hadnt thought of it, but he felt like he had solved the wish of one life among many reincarnations.

I should go to the library when I go back.

Seo-jun put the last piece of pizza in his mouth.

But the blue dragon, it looked really alive earlier, didnt it?

Yeah. I saw it from behind the stage, and if it was that much, So-young would have been really surprised.

The kids who had finished their share of pizza early and grabbed a chicken leg nodded their heads.

That blue dragon really breathed like a living thing, swelling and shrinking. It moved so little that I thought I saw something wrong, but since everyone felt that way, it must be real.

The stage director also lost his mind and went to check. This is There is no such device here?! He ran over.

The kids laughed as Ida-jin imitated the stage director.

Come to think of it, there were no parents or staff except An-da-ho. They seemed to be unable to leave the stage.

Did he really come to see?

Maybe. There are many unbelievable things in the world.

The kids nodded at the words of the kid who was interested in UFOs. And they told each other about the amazing things they had experienced.

The kid who saw a white dress at night, the kid who saw a strange animal on the street, the kid who heard a strange sound at school. Most of them were ghost stories, but they all listened with interest.

The stage director who was checking the blue dragon model shook his head. The parents and staff were cold and stiff at the blue dragon model.

It didnt feel like this. He couldnt believe it, he hesitated at the blue dragon model that came down from the stage and even touched it with his finger.

Park Ji-soo, the director who went to check the video, opened his mouth.

The video shows the same movement as usual.

So did we really see something wrong?

At someones words, Park Ji-soo shrugged his shoulders. The people lost their words.

***

When the schedule was over, the kids all went home.

And the time the parents were waiting for came.

The last performance day, evening.

SNS posts went up simultaneously. The first thing that came up on the internet was the acting schools that had been waiting eagerly to write and press the enter button.

[Child actor who acted with Seo-jun, Choi So-young!]

#ChildrensPlaySpring #MainRole #Seo-jun #ChoiSo-young

[Hollywood star, with Seo-jun! Child actor Ida-jin!]

#ChildrensPlaySpring #HunterRole #Seo-jun #Ida-jin #Hollywood

Along with the posts, there were clear evidence photos.

Pictures of Seo-jun and the kids eating ice cream with bright faces and playing around. And there were videos of Seo-jun and the kids practicing.

Around the same time, Cocoa Entertainment also spread the data. And in no time, the internet was flooded with articles about Seo-jun.

[Seo-jun, his next work is a childrens play?! And its already over!]

[Stage name?! Seo-juns stage name is Na-jin!]

[Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism sponsorship, Milky Way Center planning, lets find out about the childrens play Spring!]

[Seo-jun only had his voice. But his voice acting is also top!]

[The blue dragon the kids were looking for! Seo-jun!]

And the reviews of the childrens play Spring began to spread everywhere.

Hey! Over here!

Wait a minute! Im going!!

Kim Su-han and his friends, who had seen the childrens play Spring, went to the PC room and shot guns. The PC room was noisy. They all had a cup of ramen and moved their mouse.

Is it a nuke? How do you get hurt every time you shoot?

You cant shoot.

Kim Su-hans friends shook their heads at his words. In the end, Kim Su-han, who died first, started surfing the internet while waiting for his friends game to end.

He went to the site he visited most often and looked at the posts without thinking. Somehow, there was a lot of talk about Seo-jun. Kim Su-han scratched his head and muttered.

Did he shoot another Hollywood movie?

What!?

No!

Kim Su-han clicked on the post with the most views. The content was not very long. To shorten it.

Seo-jun, childrens play, Spring, blue dragon role, Na-jin, stage name.

Huh?

Ah! I died.

Wow, how do you kill everyone without missing one?

Meanwhile, his friends also seemed to have game over, and they became noisy. Kim Su-hans hand moved on its own. He went to the search site. He also looked at the real-time search terms. He checked the articles and the YouTube videos.

Hey, why are you shaking?

What, did you have an accident?

Kim Su-han looked down at his hand at his friends words. The hand holding the mouse was shaking.

Hey

Why?

The world must be crazy.

No, you look crazy?

Na-jin is Seo-jun.

His friends tilted their heads. Na-jin? Who is Na-jin? The blue dragon. Oh, the one Su-han likes? But Na-jin is Seo-jun? Seo-jun is not him? Jin Natra.

The voices of the whispering friends got lower and lower. They all looked at Kim Su-han with a strange expression.

Are you crazy?

Am I crazy? Na-jin is Seo-jun. The one who played the blue dragon role, Seo-jun!

Kim Su-han shouted with goosebumps all over his body. The loud noise made the people in the PC room look at Kim Su-han and his friends.

He spat out without caring. As he spoke, he remembered the image in his head. Na-jin, who was wearing a hat on the stage. He waved his hand at my words. Huh. Was that him?!

I was in the play I saw eight times! The Na-jin I got a signature from is Seo-jun! Look at this!

What Kim Su-han showed was clearly a picture of the main character of the play Spring, Choi So-young, the hunter role Ida-jin, and Seo-jun smiling.

He also posted the introduction of the actors in the picture. Choi So-young, Ida-jin, and the one who stood out.

[Na-jin / 8 years old]

-Wow. He came out of nowhere!

-Na-jin? No way Jin Natra?

=Yeah, I think so lol

Wow.

Wow.

The people in the PC room were startled by Kim Su-hans words. What? What, did something happen? No, its Seo-jun. Seo-jun? Why, the child actor who went to Hollywood. Oh.

They all started searching for Seo-juns name. Whats going on?

Soon, there were exclamations of wow! Really? And the eyes were on the students again. Among them was a social affairs reporter who came to investigate the situation of the PC room.

But you got a signature with Na-jins name.

Ah

No! Thats more rare! Who would get Seo-juns signature as Na-jin!

Thats true.

Without knowing the peoples eyes, the friends chatted next to Kim Su-han, who was having fun. Kim Su-hans phone rang.

Kim Su-han answered the phone with a nervous face.

Who is it? Yes? Yes?

The friends who were debating whether Na-jins signature or Seo-juns signature was better asked him.

What? Why?

Its Cocoa Entertainment.

Where is that?

Seo-juns agency

What?

The noise in the PC room disappeared. There was a faint sound of games, but they all closed their mouths and looked at Kim Su-han and his friends.

Kim Su-han, who started his first fan activity in his life, Na-jin (8 years old, who turned out to be Seo-jun), opened his mouth with a strange face. He still didnt understand that Na-jin was Seo-jun, but a storm of events hit him.

They said thank you for watching the play eight times. They said they would send Seo-juns signature if I gave them my address. Is Na-jin really Seo-jun?

Wow.

Excuse me. Can I interview you for a moment?

When they were all stunned, the social affairs reporter handed out his business card and asked for an interview. It was a scoop that he couldnt miss, whether he wrote it or passed it on to the entertainment section.

[(Exclusive) Childrens play Spring, a special gift from Seo-jun to the viewers of all episodes!]

-Wow. Hes really lucky lol How did he go to see it cheaply, and that was Seo-juns play.

-But if you watched all the episodes, you used up all the support money from the school and spent your own money, right?

-He watched it eight times because of Na-jins acting. How impressed was he to collect the tickets and ask for a signature lol To an 8-year-old lol

-Thanks to that, Na-jin, he can have two Seo-jun signatures. Im jealous

-I think thats funnier. He watched the second episode with five friends and called his friends friends to watch the third episode and a lot of students from the same school came to the eighth episode lol Is that a pyramid lol

-Now, for the childrens play Spring, the viewer interview, you can go to Juyeong High School lol lol lol

-The teachers are embarrassed;;; The school became famous nationwide, but it became famous in a weird way lol lol

-I want to see that. I have to write a review after watching the performance. Someone please post a review lol lol

And a few days later, a review came up on the internet. And the articles about the review poured out like crazy.

[Its here! Seo-juns signature!]

Seo-juns signature is here! Play Spring, DVD too! Theres a postcard too!

(Na-jin signature, Seo-jun signature, play Spring dvd, Seo-jun postcard)

(Postcard zoom)

The handwriting seems better than mine. He wrote Na-jin cutely lol

But I dont know the world. The actor I first liked, hes Seo-jun lol I thought I was his first fan, but hes already a world star lol I have to join the fan club.

-Wow, fan service Awesome.

-Honestly, this is not because of his name, but because I became a fan just by watching his acting. Who would fall for an 8-year-olds acting, and thats voice acting, and watch it eight times.

-Thats a high school freshman lol

-But what is DVD?
