Chapter 37

    Chapter 37

    Ready, action!

    Ji-seok knocked on the door. Thud, thud! He followed the scripts instructions, but he felt something standing behind the door. He flinched involuntarily and knocked again.

    Director Choi Daeman thought that looked more natural. It seemed like the evil spirit inside Su-hyuk sensed the divine power of the baby shaman on the other side of the door. Indeed, there was a reason why he was a good actor.

    Thud, thud!

    The door opened. It looked quite thick when he knocked, but it opened lightly. And a child in a white hanbok appeared.

    Is there a powerful shaman here?

    The line was supposed to end there, but Ji-seok, no, Su-hyuk stopped talking without realizing it.

    Two pairs of eyes were looking at him. One was the sparkling eyes of the baby shaman. And the other was something inside them.

    Director Choi Daeman, who was watching the monitor, didnt feel it as much as Ji-seok. But he knew that something inhuman was there. Because he felt the same thing when he auditioned Ji-seok. He had a feeling that there was something inside Seo-jun.

    Some staff members also felt a strange sensation from the child, and some didnt, but they all held their breath at Seo-jun and Ji-seoks acting. The silence created by the two actors made their hair stand on end.

    The baby shamans head moved slowly from Su-hyuks head to his feet. Su-hyuk couldnt snap out of it because of that thing that was examining his insides.

    Su-hyuk thought that the evil spirit inside him was dancing. He felt his blood moving along with his pounding heartbeat. He felt his heartbeat from his toes to his fingertips. And finally, even in his head.

    The baby shamans gaze disappeared and bang! The door closed. Soon,

    Cut! OK!

    The directors voice was heard, but Su-hyuk, no, Ji-seok was still staring at the door in the same posture. The other staff members also quietly rolled their eyes as the actor didnt move. When the puzzled Choi Daeman got up from his chair,

    Clank. The door opened. Ji-seok stepped back two steps without realizing it.

    Oh, were you still filming?

    When Seo-juns guardian, Kim Hee-sang, appeared, Ji-seok came to his senses. He saw Seo-jun smiling brightly in Kim Hee-sangs arms, waving his hand at him. He had only one pair of eyes now.

    You both did really well! Now take a break while we prepare for the next shoot.

    As Director Choi Daeman said, they had to shoot the close-up and bust shots now.

    While the staff members set up the camera near the wooden door to capture the realistic expressions of the two actors, the two actors sat on chairs and waited for the shoot.

    Ji-seok opened and closed his mouth as he saw Seo-jun sitting politely on the chair and drinking cocoa.

    How did you do that? How, how is that acting possible? He wasnt a tiny child who just started acting, but an actor who had been active for a long time.

    No, could an ordinary actor do that kind of acting?

    Ji-seok kept staring at him, and Seo-jun put down his cocoa cup and rubbed his face.

    Did I have something on my face?

    No.

    Ji-seok shook his head. There were actors like that.

    Actors with a talent given by heaven. Born actors.

    That kind of talent was not something that ordinary people could understand by explaining it.

    It was no different from saying I just studied from the textbook. No, in this case, it might be I just tried it because it seemed possible, and it worked. Ji-seok sighed inwardly.

    But even acting with such an actor, his acting skills improved. He could take a step forward just by playing the opposite role without being overwhelmed by the overwhelming acting.

    Ji-seok smiled. If he couldnt learn it by the book, he had to steal it.

    Lets start the next shoot!

    Ji-seok and Seo-jun got up from their seats and headed to the set.

    After the shooting was over for the day, the actors went back to their lodgings and the staff stayed behind to clean up the equipment.

    The camera director spoke to Director Choi Daeman incredulously.

    Lee Jiseok is one thing, but Seo Jun doesnt give in either. The two of them acted like sparks were flying

    I doubt it.

    What?

    It looked to me like Jiseok was trying not to lose to Seo Jun.

    The next day.

    The shooting for the scene with Seo Jun was over in a flash. He played a baby shaman who prepared bells and talismans to exorcise an evil spirit and calmed his mind. He also filmed a scene with his grandfather, who lived with the baby shaman.

    Since the scene was not time-bound, it was all done by lunchtime.

    Unlike Seo Jun, Lee Jiseok had many scenes to shoot.

    He felt a bit disappointed. It would have been nice if it was. If Hee-sang was his uncle, he would have fixed it in no time.

    What is it?

    Nothing!

    Seo-jun ran to Kim Hee-sang.

    Uncle! Lets go to the mountain!

    Was this the same mountain? It might have changed over time, but he had grown fond of the mountain after reading the book of life like an old fairy tale for a month and a half. It was a mountain that seemed to have a real goblin or two.

    Okay. But dont run, there are a lot of rocks here.

    Okay!

    Seo-jun and Kim Hee-sang walked slowly along the path next to the Seonangdang.

    They hadnt walked for more than a few minutes when the summer sun that had been shining through the branches and leaves was blocked.

    Its cooler in the shade.

    Look! A flower!

    Seo-jun spotted a flower nearby. It was nice to be outside and see things.

    Seo-jun was excited and pointed here and there. He saw a bird. There was a squirrel too. Kim Hee-sang, who was watching where Seo-jun pointed, said.

    What if a wild boar comes out?

    A pheasant!

    A pheasant?! Are you sure its not a wild boar?

    Seo-jun, who had been walking and looking for animals, stopped and

    Swish!

    He turned his head.

    He heard a sound through the gentle breeze. It sounded like a bird, but there was something more, something meaningful.

    Seo-jun raised his head like a rabbit twitching its ears and looked around. Kim Hee-sang, who had been following Seo-jun diligently, called him with curiosity.

    Seo-jun?

    Shh!

    Seo-jun focused his attention, over there, far away. Something. But it was too small to tell the direction.

    Kim Seo-bang.

    Huh?

    Lets play.

    [The Bubble Goblins Kim Seo-bang Prank is activated.]

    Seo-jun scattered the goblins energy like a bats echolocation. He had created an inner form and wondered if there was a better way to use it, until he came up with this idea after watching an animal documentary.

    The only one who reacted to this energy was Kim Seo-bang.

    Seo-jun concentrated. He was a low-rank, so he didnt have much energy. In such a wide place, he could only reach a short distance.

    So Seo-jun decided to move around actively as the center.

    He thought he would stay close to the road as much as possible, since he had his uncle Hee-sang behind him, but the sound that was barely audible before disappeared completely.

    It was a dangerous situation.

    Seo-jun changed his mind and walked off the road into the mountains.

    Seo-jun?!

    Kim Hee-sang called out to Seo-jun, who left the trail and went to a place that was not a road, but Seo-jun apologized inwardly and walked carefully, watching his feet.

    Uncle! I didnt run! The little boy scurried around like a squirrel.

    Kim Hee-sang also hurried after Seo-jun. The road was rough and Seo-jun was too fast to catch up. You, youre going to get in trouble!

    The goblins energy that was flowing smoothly was blocked at one point. Seo-jun quickly headed there.

    I found it!

    Seo-jun, you! Youre going to get scolded by your uncle!

    Uncle! Here! Theres someone here!

    Also to mom and dad What?!

    Kim Hee-sang was startled by Seo-juns words and ran over in a breath.
