Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 116

Every Sunday, at the same time.

The staff member of the Whale Studios PR team, who met at a store near the park, handed over the clothes with a smile.

Today is the last day.

Yes. I just have to play well today, right?

Yes. Please play beautifully.

So far, Seo-jun had shown a gradual improvement. The people who came to see the park also increased, and the professors of the music college also showed interest in the child who showed amazing growth. They all wanted to see it in person after watching the video.

Im sad. It was so much fun

Everyone smiled at Seo-juns words as he changed his clothes. It was a few pennies for Seo-jun Lee, a Hollywood star, but now he was carrying a piggy bank and cherishing it.

Today, Ill earn more than any other day!

Seo-jun clenched his fist and vowed.

***

Choi Yoo-sung and Natalie headed to the park with a smile. Both violin majors had violin cases on their shoulders.

While Choi Yoo-sung was buying snacks for the boy, Natalie gently smiled as she fiddled with her old violin case.

Last weeks performance was good, right?

Yeah. It seems like the bad habits are gone. Its a bit clumsy, though.

I guess the person who taught him isnt that good.

But he did well.

Awkward posture, missed notes. Even in that, the intense emotion was felt. Choi Yoo-sung and Natalie were captivated by the boys performance.

He must have gotten better today.

With a hopeful face, Choi Yoo-sung and Natalie found their place among a few more people than usual.

The boy was just about to put his chin on the violin.

How much better did he get this week! The expressions of the people who were looking at the boy with hopeful eyes.

Squeak-

It turned fierce in an instant.

Seo-jun, who was playing the first note, felt a pang. The blue whale guards, the staff who were filming, and Ahn Da Ho, who was on edge among the increased people, were surprised and looked at Seo-jun.

As he had been acting as Gray while playing, the scenes that were being filmed now, that is, the terrible performance that Gray learned from the swindler Swallow, came out.

Seo-jun was worried. Should he fix it right here, or finish this song and fix it?

Either way, it would be weird

As Seo-jun was worrying, Seo-juns subconscious continued Grays acting. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The terrible performance continued and the expressions of the spectators became more fierce.

The posture, the position of the fingers, the height of the arm holding the bow, and even the position of the feet standing.

Damn. What is that?

Calm down.

Do I look calm right now?

He must have some reason. Its none of our business.

Choi Yoo-sung breathed in at Natalies words. Thats right. He doesnt know what the reason is. But,

Squeak-squeak-

The sound rang. The violin was crying. Full of discord, the sound that couldnt be called a performance, the boys heart was felt intensely.

I like the violin. I like music. More. More. I want to play. I want to do well. I want to learn more!

Even in the moment of worry, Grays acting that Seo-jun continued hit Choi Yoo-sungs heart hard.

Damn.

The people around the boy who were listening to the performance with a disappointed expression closed their eyes at the squeaky sound.

The people who felt proud every Sunday when they saw the child, and cheered after watching the childs video, and the people who came to see him for the first time today, all felt sorry.

Choi Yoo-sungs eyes, who was washing his face, shone. It didnt matter what the reason was.

Hey, kid!

Choi Yoo-sungs voice rang out loud. The students who were listening to the boys performance with a grim expression and Natalie looked at Choi Yoo-sung with a surprised face.

Yes?

The violin performance that was going on stopped. The boy lifted his head.

He had just decided to play straight after this song, and asked while continuing Grays acting.

Why is your posture like that?

Uh did I do it wrong?

Yeah. If you lower your elbow like that, the bow wont move properly.

After that, Choi Yoo-sung pointed out one by one the wrong postures.

Your feet should be here. Straighten your waist, and your arms here. Your fingers were better last week.

As the boy said, uh, uh, he changed his posture according to Choi Yoo-sungs words. The students of the same violin department intervened in Choi Yoo-sungs appearance.

Youre still young, so you have to learn the basics well.

It would be better to lower your shoulders a little more, right?

Thats how the boys posture was completed. Choi Yoo-sung and the students moved away with a proud face.

Play like that.

The song you played last time was Autumn of The Four Seasons, right?

Good. Ill look at the wrong performance later. Just play for now.

At the words of the fans who remembered the repertoire, the boy who was rolling his eyes picked up the bow.

Wait a minute.

Natalie handed over the violin case she had on her shoulder to the boy who was about to play the old and small violin.

The boy who received the shabby violin case smiled at Natalie.

Its what I used when I was young. You can still use it. Its the right size.

You had this?

Choi Yoo-sung looked at Natalie. Natalie shrugged her shoulders.

I just brought it to reminisce I think its better for the kid to use it than me now. Its a gift, kid.

The boy who was surprised and refused with his hand, Choi Yoo-sung and Natalie refused to refuse.

Play it. We came to hear that.

Thats right.

Thank you.

Everyone said that, and the boy took the violin. As Natalie said, it seemed to be kept precious, the case was neat, and the violin inside was well maintained enough to be turned on at any time.

What is this, the guards, the staff, Ahn Da Ho, and Seo-jun, who were confused by the unexpected situation, were tickled by the kind-hearted students.

Seeing the people smiling happily, Seo-jun laughed. So Seo-jun threw away Grays appearance and decided to play with sincerity.

[(Line) Violin Dream Fairys Basic Practice is activated.]

[(Line) Goblin Violinists Melody is activated.]

[(Line) Elfs Basic Breathing is activated.]

He didnt have the ability to bless at ordinary times, so this was all he could do now.

They all seem to be related to music.

I hope it helps a little.

Seo-jun, who put his chin on the violin, started playing with all his might.

[Violin Performance of Dream Fairy, Goblin, and Gray NO.1]

The boy rested his chin on the violin. Choi Yuseong, who was about to adjust his posture because of the changed size of the violin, paused.

Huh?

His posture was surprisingly flawless. Like a violinist who had stepped onto the stage, very cool. Dazzling.

It seemed as if only the spot where the boy was standing was lit up by a spotlight. He had an overwhelming presence that was strange to have gone unnoticed until now.

Choi Yuseong was not the only one who felt it. The students who were standing around had their mouths wide open.

The shy genius Gray was gone, and there stood Lee Seojun, who exuded confidence from head to toe, revealing his existence in all directions.

The long bow that looked like it was shining came down beautifully. The boys performance pierced through the ears and stuck to the heart.

The sound filled with gratitude, appreciation, and joy resonated as if it had become a speaker, vibrating the peoples bodies.

It was an ordinary violin that someone had played when they were young, but it came heavy and beautiful like the sound of a Stradivarius made by a master.

The sound from the small violin filled the park. People gathered around the beautiful performance. Those who were already there and those who came late listened to the performance quietly.

Explosive energy burst out from the small body. Goosebumps ran down their spines.

With one breath, someone got inspiration, and with one note, someone got enlightenment. There was no better study than listening to music of a different dimension.

The boy looked like he would make a great scene in a movie no matter where he was filmed. Everyone was mesmerized by the boy who played with vigor.

The last note of the song that seemed to continue on rang out loud and long. Even after the performance ended, people could not come to their senses.

Ahn Da Ho, the staff, and the bodyguards, who had nothing to do with music, were the first to snap out of it and helped Seojun pack his things.

But they couldnt take their eyes off Seojun, who pressed his black hat down. They had met every Sunday and talked about this and that, but this was the first time they saw him as a star with such a presence.

This was, Lee Seojun.

He had an aura that made them understand why he became a Hollywood star at a young age.

Seojun carefully put the violin in the case and handed it to Natalie. Choi Yuseong, who was next to him, came to his senses and opened his mouth.

In the meantime, the boy who was surrounded by the blue whales showed his back.

Who are you?

It was a faint voice that sounded like a murmur, but it reached Seojuns ears, who had his senses sharpened by the use of three abilities.

Seojun lifted his black hat slightly and showed his face. He smiled and said. Whether it was because his pronunciation was good, or because his voice was clear, or because the park was quiet, Seojuns answer was heard very clearly.

Im Jun. Thank you for the violin.

No, wait!

Jun and the blue whales disappeared before he could catch them. Choi Yuseong slumped his shoulders in disappointment.

No, whats going on?

As Choi Yuseong said that, everyone came to their senses. Someone shouted.

Where did that kid go?!

Wait, I have something in mind!

Someone opened a notebook in their bag and wrote something down. Someone recorded it and someone grabbed their instrument. As they made their own notes, Natalie opened her mouth.

Does anyone know that song?

At that, the noisy park became quiet as if time had stopped. Everyone thought of all the songs they knew, but there was no answer.

Thenwho filmed it?

The first performance was so shocking (in a bad way) that they didnt even film it properly. The people who were filming stopped filming for a while as Choi Yuseong and the others fixed the boys posture.

Everyone closed their mouths and felt frustrated. Natalie and Choi Yuseong also felt hopeless. There was not a single person who filmed that amazing performance, that beautiful song?!

No, really, not one?!

***

I filmed it!

A staff member of Whale Studio shouted with an excited face. Seojun, who had changed his clothes, came out and tilted his head.

What did you film?

Juns awesome song that he played at the end! I filmed it all! It was a godsend that I took the camera for filming at the end!

There was such a camera?

It was the end. Maybe it would be used for TV promotion or making film, but there was an instruction to film the good scenes with a high-quality camera.

I see.

Seojun nodded his head, not caring what camera he was filmed with.

But whats the title of the last song? It was the first time I heard it, and it was really good.

At the staffs question, the bodyguards and Ahn Da Ho perked up their ears.

It was a song that felt like warm sunlight was pouring down. A happy, joyful, and fun song. A fairy-tale-like song that they had never heard before in their lives.

I composed it.

What?

I learned violin and composition since last year because I was curious about the script that had composition in it. I finished it a few days ago, its not bad, right?

At that, everyone lost their words. Seojun smiled sheepishly.

To be honest, it was a lie. He had thought of the song when he was filming the scene where he composed it, and he finished it a few days ago after tweaking it a bit more.

How can I say it took me a month?

It would be hard to believe even if he said he had been working on it for a year, let alone a month. Seojun apologized in his mind for lying, and handed the violin to the staff.

On the way home, he snapped his fingers and toes as he thought of [Dream Fairy, Goblin, Grays Violin Concerto NO.1] in his head. Seojun suddenly sighed at the thought that came to his mind.

Ah

What? Whats wrong?

Ahn Da Ho, who was driving, reacted immediately to Seojuns words.

I didnt make a penny today.

Ah. They were all too distracted to give you money.

Seojun made a gloomy expression and Ahn Da Ho recalled the people who were watching in the park. Seojun nodded his head. He understood, but,

It was the last busking

It was a very regrettable ending.
