Seojun stopped [Elf’s Basic Breathing], which he just did unconsciously.
When Seojun, who was flapping, fell on the sofa tired, Seo Eun-chan smiled at the sight of him. This was a new side of Seojun, who seemed to be always calm.
“So these past few days, I saw lot of things that I didn’t know about Seojun.”
Seo Eun-hye scolded Seojun for constantly staying in his room.
He goes to the kindergarten without washing up and even take the script out even at school hours.
Lee Min-Joon scolded his son for thinking about something else while eating snacks.
Recalling the attitude of Seojun during these past few months, Lee Min-joon also smile.
Seojun was getting tired.
It’s already been seven months. He was confident if it would be a year or 5 years later. No, Seojun shook his head.
Seojun, who was lying on the sofa and look at the sky outside the window and sighed.
At first, he thought he could do it if he didn’t use my powers, but it wasn’t on par with Ryan Will’s assessment. Still, he said he looked nice.
So he waited for the next library door to open, but there were still no Villain like ability he could use.
“Sigh.”
Seojun breathed a heavy sigh as if he had all kinds of problems in the world again.
‘But wouldn’t it be better if I practice a little more?’ Seojun jumped out of the sofa and headed back to his room.
‘Practice. Practice is the only way to live.’
***
Ryan Will came back to Korea. Jonathan was with him again. The couple and Seojun were very nervous about the sudden appearance of the director. They had a hunch that a big one would pop up today.
Today, Seojun needed to act in front of Ryan Will. He memorized all the lines and his body movements were perfect. However, it was rejected again. Ryan Will, who was watching Seojun sighing, suddenly opened his mouth.
“We’ll start shooting Shadowman 2 in September.”
At the sound of his voice, the couple’s movement also stopped. Ryan Will, who saw Seojun’s fluctuating eyes, unconsciously touched his face. He was gonna wait a little longer.
“…Filming?”
“Yes, I can’t help it.”
The schedules of the other actors for Shadowman 2 and the released of other Marine films have been scheduled.
Ryan Will has delayed the deadline as much as he can at his discretion. But that was also now impossible.
Seojun opened his mouth.
“Then acting…….”
“First of all, let’s film with the acting you did at the audition.”
Seojun was speechless. He has been practicing for 7 months, and now he is saying, “Let’s go with the first one.” Seojun, who had barely moved his mouth, changed his words.
“Are my pictures still going around?”
“Even the FBI can’t get rid of it.”
He said that the photos floating on the Internet will be somehow be removed, but it could not be removed from the photos that each individuals own. Even more if it’s printed.
Ryan Will and Seojun shook their heads.
It was because there was a picture of Seojun printed by his own mother at Ryan Will’s main house, and Kim Hee-sung even made a nice frame in Seojun’s house.
Lee Min-Joon and his wife hung them in their rooms.
“Come to think of it, some countries sell your picture as a souvenir, printed in a cup or a fan. Like a talisman that brings you good luck? I heard it’s popular.”
“Uncle Ryan!”
Seojun, who was energized by Ryan’s relaxed talk, screamed. After dozens of video calls, the two even shared jokes to each other.
“I mean, it came out so well. You’re so into acting like an angel because it’s Christmas Eve, isn’t?
“Do you think I knew this would happen?”
Seojun pouted his lips. Back then, on Christmas Eve, he was so happy to hear that he used his ability to bless the whole world. He couldn’t bear to say no to Ryan.
Now only silence remained. Ryan Will spoke first.
“What do you think? Can you get ready?”
“Yes.”
Seojun nodded his head. Just this time, let’s use [Bubble Goblin’s Teasing Kim] and next, let’s practice harder.
“I’ll try.”

Jonathan watched Ryan and Seojun talk.
Ryan, who informed him of the filming date, got up from his seat. The couple and Seojun also said goodbye.
‘Did he came to Seojun’s house and give acting guidance?’ Jonathan, who had thought so, followed him out the door.
“Where are you going?”
“To revise the script.”
‘I thought It’s already been fixed.’ Jonathan saw Ryan pressing the button on the elevator.
He said he found the perfect actor, and he was happy about it. But know he was adjusting the script for the same actor
“Do you want to make more corrections?”
“The actors are trying, but I’ll do my best.”
‘I think it’s okay to change actors.’ Jonathan wanted to say so but shut his mouth. Ryan, who has been filming for years, wouldn’t want to hear about it.
He was sure Seojun Lee knows. However, the two did not give up at all.
Jonathan and Ryan got into the elevator. A heavy silence enveloped the two.

Seojun stood in front of the library. Director Ryan Will visited and gave the him filming schedule of Shadowman 2.
“Sigh.”
Now it’s August. Today, Seojun turned around and walked. The Good Life library, which had been shining brightly, gradually disappeared and behind Seojun’s back darkness came.
Not long after walking, he could see several doors. Unlike his original library doors, which had colorful colors, on this one only black doors were visible.
The library’s doors were covered with thick black chains.
Seojun approached and touched the door of the library. The black chain did not react, let alone open the door.
This dark library was a collection of bad past lives.
“The library of Evil Lives.”
There was only one way to unlock the chain and open the door. Seojun must have possess Black Mana.
If Seojun had made the source using [Evil’s Basic Breathing], the evil library here would have opened wide, and a thick white chain would have firmly surrounded the virtuous library.
For the past eight months, this was his daily job, but he was still very nervous.
Seojun breathed out to calm his nervous body. His Light Mana wriggled to see if it was influenced by the evil library.
Seojun sat in front of a vicious library. He closed his eyes.
Director Ryan Will reviewed the script for Shadowman 2, which the filming will begin next month.
Modify, modify, modify.
The initial script has been edited out for the past eight months.
Seojun Lee’s portion was getting smaller and smaller. He had a headache trying to make lines that suits his initial audition during his free time, but he finally completed it.
‘I can’t say I am satisfied, but it’s going to be a box office hit.’
Then, a he got received a message.
When he looked at his cell phone, it was Seojun. On the message that Seojun had sent there was a video attached, Ryan Will played it.
He had sent a video the day before yesterday in less than a week he sent another video. Ryan Will smiled faintly.
“You have to be patient, Ryan.”
‘Why can’t he just play the villain?
Ryan Will folded his arms.
In the past, villains were popular roles back then. Not being able to play a villain would blow up half of the roles an actor could do.
Ryan Will really wanted to see Seojun Lee’s villain performance.
He wondered what kind of aura Seojun would emit with his small body and what kind of performance he would do.
‘But now…….’
Ryan Will turned on the video, barely holding back a sigh that was about to come out.
“……!”
On the video…
There was a child smiling broadly surrounded by a chilly aura.
Ryan Will book a flight to Korea immediately.
It has been less than 24 hours since Seojun sent the video. Ryan Will’s luggage was just a few scripts and a wallet because he got here in such a hurry.
Then the conversation between Seojun and Ryan Will began.
Ryan Will didn’t say a word and just looked at Seojun after saying hello.
Director Ryan’s eyes looked at Seojun with a serious expression, from hair to toe. It was as if he just met Seojun for the first time.
Seojun looked up with a triumphant look, holding back his laughter at Ryan’s serious expression.
He wanted to show off. He wanted to brag. The video he sent was worth of such arrogance.
Ryan Will, who had been staring at him for a long time, opened his mouth.
“You’ve become normal.”
“What?”
This was an unexpected assessment. ‘Was it bad?’ Seojun tilted his head.
“In the past, you would have this atmosphere of kindness just by smiling.”
Ryan Will crossed his head. Seojun’s head moved along Ryan Will.
“Now, I don’t feel anything. You became normal.”
“Is that a good thing?”
Ryan Will nodded at Seo Jun’s question.
“First of all. There was nothing on the background whether it was white or black, and that’s great.”
Then there was silence between the two again.
“How did you do that?”
Ryan Will broke the silence and opened his mouth first.
“Until the last video, I’m sorry to say this, but all your performances were very bad.”
“You said I did well, but why did you say that just now?”
Seojun pouted his lips. He wasn’t really offended, director Ryan Will’s eyes, gestures as he walked in through the front door, and tone really say otherwise.
“That’s because that is the past. Now…….”
Ryan Will replied with a very, very satisfied face.
“Your performance is the best.”
Seojun rolled his eyes at the sudden compliment.
He thought it would be just a simple compliment, but he didn’t expect to say that it was the best. However, Seojun couldn’t hold back his smile because he was happy to hear a compliment from him after 8 months of being a constant disappoitment.
“Right? I did a great job, didn’t I?”
“Yes, so I burned all the Revised Script.”
“The revised script?”
Before coming to Korea, Ryan Will burned the revised versions he had written in case Seojun didn’t master acting as a Villain.
“I tried to minimize your appearance if you didn’t solve it before the shoot.”
It was the first time Seojun heard about this. He thought Ryan had faith in him, but he started editing the script.
Seojun, who couldn’t help but understand Ryan Will’s decision, nodded. If he had watched him fail for the past the seven-month, no, eight-month, any director would have revised the script.
It was really…
The worst.
It must be really awkward and strange for a child to say villainous lines with a good aura. Viewers will feel like ‘William’ was pretending to be a Villain
“People will feel awkward about my acting if I act following the original script.”
Ryan Will nodded his head. His smile stayed on. Ryan Will took out his first script as soon as he saw the video.
Thinking about the Villaneous kid from the video becoming William, he couldn’t have expected more. He flew to Korea because he couldn’t stand not seeing him act in person.
“But now you don’t have to.”
“Hehehe.”
The two men smiled and the serious atmosphere disappeared.
“Then I’d like to see you act myself, is that okay?”
“Yes!”
Seojun came down from the chair. He squeezed his right hand to a punch.
[The melancholy scent of a single flower is triggered]
[The melancholy scent of a single flower – the lowest level]
This flower blooms in a radius of 10m.
It looks similar to a weed, so no one knows it was a flower.
People will feel depressed as soon as they smelled the flowers.
In front of director Ryan Will, there was a child who felt abused and thus blamed the world.
Ryan Will was satisfied with Seojun’s performance. After the small performance of Seojun, he got ready to leave for America again.
