September

Lee Seojun, who left for the U.S. to shoot a Hollywood movie, is finally back.

The airport was in a brief silence as the Hollywood star returns.

Of course, it was actually Seojun’s ability who calmed down the crowded airport.

He took a short interview with the media, and then headed home before more people flocked towards him.

“It’s been so long since I’ve come home!”

“The house we stayed in U.S was nice, but nothing beats our own house.”

“Yes, our house is the best!”

Seojun and Seo Eun-hye, who returned home after four months, walked around the house. Was there anything that changed?

He looked around, and it was similar to when he left. So he felt more comfortable.

Seojun and Seo Eun-hye sat on the sofa and relaxed their bodies.

“Home is the best.”

“Yeah.”

As they relaxed themselves in their own house, they heard the door lock open.

It was Lee Min-joon. Seojun and Seo Eun-hye welcomed Lee Min-joon with a big smile.

“I was going to pick you up, but brother-in-law said it’s better not to go, there, at the airport.”

“True.”

“That’s right, dad. There were so many people, so me and mom came out separately from airport.”

“So, I bought this.”

“What is it?”

Seojun and Seo Eun-hye stuck out their heads. Lee Min-joon smiled and held out what he had hidden behind his back.

“Jokbal!” (Steamed pig’s trotters)

It was a family set bought ay Seojun’s favorite jokbal restaurant.

“Wow! You’re the best!”

“Jokbal! American jokbal doesn’t taste like this!”

“Let’s hurry up and eat.”

“Yes!”

Seojun and Seo Eun-hye familiarly went into the kitchen and prepared to eat jokbal.

Because they are now complete, the four-month of loneliness quickly disappeared, and Lee Min-joon laughed without realizing it.

[Hollywood star, actor Lee Seojun returns home!]

[Actor Lee Seojun’s airport fashion, still love Monster Brand!]

[Actor Lee Seojun, just returned from filming “Over the Rainbow”]

[Actor Lee Seojun:”I’m glad I could return home before school starts.”]

-Welcome Back, Seojun!

-It’s very fascinating. A Hollywood actor returned home, and that’s our country.

-That’s right lol That’s really cool. I didn’t know I’d see Hollywood Star from Korea. I thought they would only be from U.S.

-Monster’s bag is out of stock, hats are out of stock, and handkerchiefs are also out of stock. He is a walking advertisement. They save promotional expenses having the son the ambassador. Sorry, mom and dad. I can’t do things like that.

-It’s great that the investment for Monster came from Lee Seojun’s YouTube income. How many babies did watched Seojun’s mukbang?

-I’m an employee of Monster. I’m a fan of Lee Seojun. I love you, Seojun!

-Even if Seojun doesn’t say it, I’ll watch all his movie.

-School starts Hahaha. That’s right. Summer vacation is over. Did you finish your vacation homework, Seojun?

-Seojun: I’ve already finished my vacation homework!

“Hi, Seojun!”

“Hi, Ji-Ho, Ji-Hoo!”

Seojun, who was sitting in the classroom, greeted the twin brothers who just entered.

“I heard you did busking. How much did you earn? You’re probably my first friend to busk among my friends!”

“Are you okay with your attendance? I just found out that there is a certain attendance to be meet.”

Ji-ho and Ji-hoo asked, full of curiosity.

“I didn’t even earn 100,000 won. There is a certain number of attendance to meet, but I am certain I meet the minimum.”

Ji-ho opened his eyes wide after hearing the amount.

“100,000 won is a lot! It’s more than my monthly allowance!”

“That’s a relief. I was worried that Seojun would stay in fifth grade alone.”

“Let’s go eat tteokbokki after school. Ji-hoo, you still say scary things casually.”

Seojun burst into laughter at the appearance of his friends. When their other friends entered the classroom, they waved at Seojun, and Seojun greeted him gladly.

“Seojun! Did you spent a good time in the U.S.?”

“Was the shoot fun?”

Mina and Jiyoon entered the classroom together. The five of them are all the same class.

The total number of the students of the school was small, so they were in the same class after all this years.

“Yeah. I had a lot of fun.”

Lee Seojun, a fifth grader in elementary school, laughed and chatted with the children. The filming was fun, but his daily life was good.

“My mom said she’s going to change our math tutor class. Me and my brother go to the same tutor class as the class president, but they’ll just give out a bunch of homework…” (Ji-ho)

“I actually don’t mind the homeworks.” (Ji-hoo)

“What about our tutor class? Mina and I go to the same academy.” (Jiyoon)

“Don’t you have homework there?” (Ji-ho)

“It’s not that we don’t have it at all, but it’s all in small amount.” (Jiyoon)

Disappointed by the fact that there are still homework, Ji-ho looked at Seojun.

“Seojun, what kind of math tutor class do you attend?”

“I don’t attend any tutor class. I solve homeworks on my own every day. If I don’t know anything, I just ask mom and dad.”

“……we’d rather go to a tutor class.”

The other children nodded at Ji-hoo’s words. Ji-ho shuddered with fear.

“I can’t imagine my mom checking my score every day…”

“Because Seojun is good at math, I’m sure it is all right for him, but Ji-Ho sucks at math… He will certainly be scolded by mom every time.”

The children, who were listening Ji-hoo’s reasoning, nodded.

While Seojun was starting the second semester of the fifth grade, no different from other children, the full-fledged promotion of Over the Rainbow also began.

As a subsidiary of Marine, advertisements appeared on television, and many advertisements appeared on the Internet. However, the only violin performance played in the advertisement was Rebecca’s performance played by Catherine Miller.

For the promotional channel of “Over the Rainbow”, no more videos other than the teaser that was released after the 8th week of busking. Therefore, there was little information on when the movie will be released.

[Whale Studio said that the Movie will be soon released!]

[Over The Rainbow’s music will be released in all streaming platform after 3 days of the movie release!]

[Whale Studio revealed that they are preparing merch for Over the Rainbow!]

[Netizens demand Whale Studio to release the Music of the movie before the release.]

– I want my first time of listening to the music is while watching the movie.

– When the song is released, it’ll be on top of the charts and be heard anywhere.

– Merch? What is it? What is it? I’ll buy anything!

-… I’ll have to see it in person first before buying.

***

Over the Rainbow’s opening day.

The movie theater was crowded. As if everyone came to watch the same movie.

Among the people were Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah.

“There are a lot of posters.”

“I know. Is this Over the rainbow?”

He began to read posters with actor introductions and movie introductions one by one.

Lee Mi-yeon tilted her head and to read the the black poster alone among many posters. The violin on the stage against the black background was in the spotlight.

The unique poster, written in yellow letters [OVER THE RAINBOW] had no pictures of the main actor or introduction to the movie.

[Violinist: Gray Beanie]

The lower part of the dotted line was printed with the date, place, and auditorium number like a ticket. And there was a yellow letter in the center of the ticket.

[Thank you for your long support]

Lee Mi-yeon was confused. In the meantime, Park Sung-ah, who just picked up tickets reserved online, asked.

“Is that Over the Rainbow’s poster?”

“I think so… The background is completely blank and nothing is written in the front. Seeing that it says Over the Rainbow, I think this is the movie poster. I guess not many people notice it.”

Park Sung-ah shrugged.

“It’s not once or twice that Marine is doing something weird.”

They surprised them with teaser videos, gathered all heroes to make a movie, and even a surprise busking. Isn’t this all like an event?

“Is that so? Maybe because it’s a music movie so it’s like a concert poster.”

Other visitors who went to check posters heard the conversation between Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah. They also begun to study the black posters one by one.

“Come to think of it, where’s the souvenir?”

“Is it a real popcorn container?”

The two looked around and headed to a place where people gathered around.

“Is this a souvenir?”

“Isn’t it just a ticket?”

What people get to look at was luxurious envelopes and tickets with dates and seat numbers on them. Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah look at the ticket and then the posters on the table.

“Look! They are similar.”

“I know. This looks much more luxurious. The poster is just plain black background with yellow, but I think it represents gold, right? They put a lot of effort into designing tickets.”

“I know.”

A customer, who was thinking about buying a ticket, heard the words of the two and saw the poster that Lee Mi-yeon was holding. The poster was quite similar to the ticket. In addition, those were posters could be taken free of charge.

“Oh, is that a poster? It’s the same as that ticket.”

“Yes, it’s over there.”

“Posters are free, but why do they sell these tickets?”

Although confused, the audience still headed towards the poster and take one after taking the ticket.

Most of the people who were watching also headed there. Lee Mi-yeon asked the employee.

“How much is this?”

“Are you going to buy the tickets? There’s free poster here too.”

“Yeah. But I need to buy things like this so I don’t regret it later.”

“But…”

When Park Sung-ah hesitated, the employee smiled and said.

“It’s 3,000 won.”

Without hesitation Lee Mi-yeon said, “I’ll buy it!”

“Me too!”

“Thank you for your purchase!” The staff answered and asked.

“Only those who watch the movie can buy this. Can I check your ticket? If you check here, you will not get a refund.”

“Here you go.”

“Which seat do you like? You can choose anywhere. Please pick a date, too. You can choose between January and March, the first week of its release. If you want another date, you can choose the second week from April to June, the third week from July to September, and the fourth week from October to December. Even if it’s not today, if you stop by here with your movie ticket, you can choose your favorite date and purchase it anytime without a deadline.”

Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah blinked at the staff’s words, the explanation was long.

“Is this a real ticket?”

“No. If you decide, I’ll make it like a real ticket with the date and seat number.”

“What is this? It’s really cool.”

“If it’s from January to March, I can put my birthday date.”

Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah chose a date and seat. Each of them chose their birth date and the seat is the recommended seat with the best view of the stage.

The employee smiled and guided the two to a small digital imprinting machine.

“You can put your name on it, if you want you can put other phrases within the characters limit below.”

“Yes, I see.”

Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah wrote their names on the digital imprinting machine and pressed the input button.

After a while, an employee put a ticket in the luxurious ticket envelope and handed it over to the two people.

In addition to the two, several people stopped by here. Some people turned around when they heard that there were similar tickets on posters while others bought them.

Before the movie began, the two tried taking tickets out of the envelope.

[Name, thank you for your long support.]

[Location: Korea, Seoul, Whale Classic Hall]

[Date: February 27, 20XX, 20:00]

[Seats: Ma 52]

[Violinist: Grey Beanie]

The black ticket was splendidly written in shiny golden letters. Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah really liked the ticket with their names on it.

“Isn’t 3,000 won okay? From what’s written over there, they said they’ll donate everything except for the production cost.….”

“Some people might think that 3,000 won per piece of paper is expensive. But it’s really cool. I can’t believe we can chose the date and seats. The location in the the poster ticket is the United States, but it says Korea here. Look at this. It’s written here, too. Thank you for your long support.”

When Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah discussed with each other, the movie theater staff shouted loudly.

“The 3rd Hall! If you want to watch the 3rd Hall Over the Rainbow, please enter now!”

Everyone took a step at the words of the movie theater staff. The staff checked the movie tickets and all went to their seats on the movie tickets.

Lee Mi-yeon and Park Sung-ah, who sat in the seats marked on the movie ticket, carefully put their commemorative tickets in their bags.

After a while, the advertisements came out of a large screen.
