Superstar From Age 0

Seo-jun looked around the audience.

He wondered if it was because of his special ability, but he could see the faces of the fans better than he expected, even though there were so many of them.

The faces of the fans were filled with regret and longing.

Seo-jun felt the same, but it was time to end it for real.

“The last song I will play for you is the first song I ever composed.”

-Grey’s Violin Sonata NO.1!!

-NO.1!!

The Sprouts answered as soon as he spoke, making Seo-jun laugh. He felt like they knew him better than himself.

“Yes. That’s right. Grey’s Violin Sonata, NO.1.”

To be precise, it was [Dream Fairy, Goblin, Grey’s Violin Sonata NO.1], but that was a title that no one knew except Seo-jun.

“This song was played for the kind people who came to me with a friendly heart when I was filming a busking video for the promotion of Over the Rainbow 1.”

Yeah. That’s how it was.

All the Sprouts nodded.

If they were fans of Seo-jun, it was natural to watch the busking video, which was one of the videos related to Over the Rainbow 1, the movie that gave Seo-jun an Oscar.

Besides, Over the Rainbow 2 was released in late November last year. Reviewing was a natural thing to do.

“I still remember it vividly. It was really happy, joyful, and grateful. Oh, do you remember the violinist Jason Moore’s concert I participated in three years ago in the summer? I mean, the orchestra that joined as G.V.”

Of course they remembered.

That was the beginning of Over the Rainbow 2, according to the information from Moviegoer.

“…That’s why I can’t stop. Moviegoer’ reviews.”

“I know, right…”

Moviegoer’ reviews were irresistible, as they delivered good information along with the spicy taste.

“Some of the orchestra members were the ones who helped me at the busking. I can’t tell you how amazing and glad I was!”

Wow!

That was an amazing thing.

“I thought they were violin majors, but…”

“They became skilled enough to join the orchestra. Those people.”

“And they met Gray Vainy…”

They met the ‘kid’ at the busking long ago, and after time passed, they met again in the same orchestra and played together.

It seemed like this was the time to say that reality was more like a movie than a movie.

“Of course, seeing the kid at the busking as a superstar is more like a movie.”

“That’s true.”

Lim Ye-na, Song Yu-jung, and Kang Tae-young smiled at each other.

“Ah, I went off topic.”

Seo-jun’s voice mixed with laughter came through the microphone.

The Sprouts felt sorry. It was okay to be longer!

Seo-jun, who didn’t know or knew the feelings of the Sprouts, returned to the original story.

“As the title says, it was originally a violin sonata, but I arranged it as a piano sonata.”

Seo-jun smiled brightly on the screen.

“I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation to the Sprouts who loved me and helped me be here today.”

Seo-jun’s sincere words and expression made the Sprouts, who were feeling sorry, tear up.

“It’s really the last time, I guess.”

“Time flies so fast…”

Feeling sorry for the unstoppable flow of time, the Sprouts quietly listened for the upcoming performance.

Seeing the Sprouts, Seo-jun smiled brightly like a flower and said.

“Thank you for loving me for a long time, and for loving me now. Sprouts. Please love me a lot in the future.”

Seo-jun smiled again and turned his body to the piano. And he put his hands on the keyboard.

♬

The melody with a different feeling from the violin filled the fan meeting hall. But Seo-jun’s heart in it was the same. No, it was filled with deeper gratitude and love than at the busking. 𝘙𝐚ΝꝋꞖΕṤ

Through many reincarnations, he knew how precious it was to give love without hesitation.

So he wanted to give back as much as he received from the Sprouts, but he didn’t know if he could give it all back because the fans loved him so much.

‘Let’s act harder in the future.’

Let’s show them great works.

Thinking of the fans here and the fans who will watch the DVD, a natural smile appeared on Seo-jun’s lips. And his hands moved more delicately, tapping the keyboard.

The Sprouts could only stare at Seo-jun, who was playing with a more beautiful smile than ever. They didn’t know why they were crying.

They wished this time would last for a long time.

But every work, every performance, had an end.

♪–

The last key of [Grey’s Violin Sonata NO.1] arranged for the piano was pressed.

‘…Ah…’

The Sprouts who had listened to [NO.1] hundreds and thousands of times knew it was the end.

Seo-jun’s hands slowly fell from the black grand piano. As if it was in slow motion.

They felt so sorry to end the fan meeting like this, that they wondered if it was a malfunction of their brain that made them see it that way.

“I can’t let go of my hands because I’m sorry.”

It was actually Seo-jun’s own slow motion.

The Sprouts, who seemed to shed tears at any moment, burst into laughter at Seo-jun’s slow movement, which was different from his normal speech.

‘Why did my actor use his great acting skills for this…’

“Really… He’s so cute…”

They couldn’t help but say what they felt.

But they didn’t know why they were crying even though they were laughing.

They felt that it was not only the fans who were sorry, and that my actor loved the fans so much.

Seo-jun, who finished his own slow motion, opened his mouth to the fans.

“Did you have fun today, Sprouts?”

-It was fun!!

-I was happy too!

“I’m glad. I really prepared hard.”

Seo-jun’s expression looked proud, and the Sprouts’ hearts swelled with laughter.

The unexpected ajaeng, piano, and character-customized arrangements.

They were events that made them feel that he prepared hard, even though he had talent in music.

“I was glad that I could show you as perfectly as I prepared, no, more than I prepared, without any mistakes.”

-It’s okay to make mistakes!

-Seo-jun is the best!!

-Our actor is the best!!

-Seo-jun, I love you!!

As the fans’ shouts came from here and there, Seo-jun listened for a moment, then exhaled deeply with a full chest, and said with round eyes.

“…I’m a happy actor because I have Sprouts. I am.”

The sparkle in Seo-jun’s eyes on the close-up screen was probably tears.

The Sprouts also teared up.

“I had so much fun today! I will work hard on acting in the future! Please look forward to it! Everyone!”

“Wow!!!”

As Seo-jun waved his arms and greeted them, the Sprouts shouted out loud, expressing their emotions and regrets of the day.

But still, as if they couldn’t stop the end, Blue Moon’s [Blue Moon] started playing and the curtain of the stage began to fall.

[Receive your light!]

[Rise to the highest-!]

[Shine the brightest-!]

Seo-jun, who smiled brightly, soon disappeared behind the curtain.

[So you can see]

“I wish they performed this too… I want to see Seo-jun with blue hair again…” 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

“Right? I want to see him with different hair colors too. Oh, do you use SNS?”

“Yes! Just a moment!”

The Sprouts who became friends while attending the fan meeting exchanged their contact information and SNS and started to pack their belongings.

Song Yu-jung, Lim Ye-na, and Kang Tae-young were similar.

“I had fun today! If you use SNS… ah…”

“Ah…”

Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na, who were about to ask for SNS because they got along so well, remembered that Kang Tae-young was a famous actor and felt awkward.

There was no age difference and no ulterior motive, and they would only talk about Seo-jun, but the paparazzi wouldn’t care about that.

‘Scandal is absolutely not allowed!’ Manager Ju Yong-jin’s words came to Kang Tae-young’s mind and he said with tears in his eyes.

“Let’s meet again if we have a chance…”

He seemed to have a droopy tail and ears. Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na also nodded with a smile and packed their things.

“I left my water bottle here earlier. Did it go under the chair?”

“It’s too dark to see.”

“Should I turn on the light stick?”

Kang Tae-young suggested using the light stick instead of the flashlight and Lim Ye-na and Song Yu-jung raised their thumbs. Well… He would be a perfect friend for fangirling if he wasn’t a famous actor.

Song Yu-jung, who found the water bottle under the chair with the light of the light stick, looked around the fan meeting hall with curiosity.

“Why don’t they turn on the lights?”

“…Right?”

At Song Yu-jung’s words, Lim Ye-na and Kang Tae-young also looked around the fan meeting hall.

The fan meeting hall was still dark and there were no staff members to guide them to the exit.

The other Sprouts also seemed to realize the same thing as the three of them and looked around.

“What’s going on?”

Then, the songs of Cocoa Entertainment singers that were playing as background music stopped.

‘…!’

At that, the Sprouts opened their eyes wide and sat down in unison.

And they looked at the stage. Their eyes sparkled.

What was that?

Something like Pavlov’s dog, maybe.

Finished movie > No lights > Music that stopped flowing >

‘Maybe… Maybe…!’

-Cookie video.

And just as the Sprouts expected.

The curtain of the stage began to rise.

“Kyaaa!!!”

The fan meeting hall seemed to shake with the loud cheers full of joy and surprise.

The musicians who were sitting on the stage blinked in surprise, and Seo-jun, no, Grand Prince Seongnyeong, came out wearing a different and elegant hanbok from the first performance and smiled and held the microphone.

“Thank you for the grand welcome. Sprouts.”

Uwaaa!!!

“I came down with great effort, but I’m sorry to go back to the sky like this,”

“Uwaaa…”

The musicians laughed and shivered their shoulders as they watched the Sprouts laugh and cry at every word of Grand Prince Seongnyeong.

“I came here as the last request of Seo-jun Doryeong, who wanted you to sleep well.”

“Kyaaa!!!”

Seo-jun tried to hold back the laughter that came out without knowing it at the reaction of the Sprouts and acted hard.

“In Western language, they say good night, right? Then please listen. Seo-jun Doryeong’s fans.”

[Clap!]

As Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s words ended, a musician made a sound with a clapper. Once again [Clap!]

♬♪

Grand Prince Seongnyeong drew the string of the ajaeng with the bow in his right hand and pressed the string with his left hand. His touch on the string of the ajaeng was light and graceful. Then the other musicians also started to play their instruments.

[Good Night]

A letter from the dead to the living, wishing them well.

It was not strange to think of Heo Ui-gwan.

‘I have to binge watch The Royal Physician…!’

Anyway, when the song was played by Grand Prince Seongnyeong, who was already dead, it felt like he was between reality and fantasy.

♪–

The deep sound of the ajaeng and the unique sounds of the Korean instruments combined to create a different, Korean feeling from [Good Night] played with the violin.

It was good.

As Grand Prince Seongnyeong said that he felt like he could sleep well.

The stage was also worth watching.

They were so surprised to see ‘Grand Prince Seongnyeong?!’ at the first performance and couldn’t see it properly, but when they saw it again, the stage came into their eyes.

The durumagi, which he wore while sitting cross-legged, moved like a butterfly’s wings every time Grand Prince Seongnyeong drew the bow and pressed the string of the ajaeng.

The colorful hat strings on the hat also shook according to Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s movement.

And the graceful and dignified smile on his lips.

He was indeed our Prince Mama.

As the Sprouts groaned, the Korean version of [Good Night] soon reached the end.

Seo-jun, who was acting as Grand Prince Seongnyeong and playing the ajaeng, looked around the audience.

He added this event to avoid any regrets, but he felt like the fans’ regrets were multiplied. Maybe it was an illusion.

Seo-jun, no, Grand Prince Seongnyeong, put down the bow of the ajaeng with a small smile.

“When I was alive… I often wondered what I would do when I grew up, whether I would help my brother Jeonha as a relative, or do something else with Heo Ui-gwan… But I ended up playing in front of you. Thank you for listening to me and the musicians today. Everyone.”

Didn’t he say it?

He was an actor who was sincere in making the fans cry.

Grand Prince Seongnyeong, who looked at the sobbing Sprouts, continued.

“Now it’s time for you to go back to your world, and for me to go back to mine. Take care of yourself, don’t lose your way, and follow the light. Thank you very much today.”

With a gentle smile, Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s farewell was the last thing before the curtain of the stage fell.

Soon, a calm classical music started to play. And the fan meeting hall began to open one by one and the light came in.

-Follow the light.

Grand Prince Seongnyeong’s words came to mind again.

It was just a normal guide, but somehow they felt like they had been between this world and the other world until now.
