Chapter 125

[Title: Arrived in Korea.]

“Hello, this is Moviegoer. I left from LA and arrived in Korea a few hours ago. I traveled hard for almost two weeks. They say home is the best place to be, and I agree.”

Everyone left comments on Moviegoer’s tired face.

-You collected them all. Well done.

-Did Whale expect someone to collect them all?

-Well, maybe he expected one or two nearby countries.

“I thought so too, but more people than I expected started the tour. And there were different versions of collecting them.”

-Awesome.

“It was a long flight from LA to Korea. I had nothing to do on the plane.”

Moviegoer showed a picture on the screen. 

There was a short post with a picture of the tickets.

[France, collected all 12 months.]

[Italy! Collected all 12 months on the 14th date! It’s my birthday.]

[Russia, 12 countries, 12 months. Collected them all.]

[USA. Collected all 50 states and Washington DC.]

-That’s a lot.

-What did the last American do? He visited all 51 states in the US? Did he go to Alaska and Hawaii too?

-What about places like Guam or Saipan?

-He said he was going to go.

-Wow. They say a fan among fans is a sheep.

“They are amazing. How is that possible when it’s only been three weeks since the movie was released?”

Moviegoer shook his head at the last SNS post.

-There was someone who visited all the theaters in our country.

-That’s nice too.

“Shall we put the tickets in a frame then?”

Moviegoer took out a box that he had carefully brought in his carry-on luggage. 

He had put the tickets and envelopes in a hard box so they wouldn’t get wrinkled during the move.

-Exciting!

-Wow!!

Moviegoer opened the lid of the square box like a treasure chest. 

Both Moviegoer and the viewers were very excited.

“First of all, January, South Korea, Seoul.”

Moviegoer fixed the ticket at the front of the frame he had prepared in advance.

“February, Czech Republic, Prague.”

The second ticket went up next to it.

“March, Germany, Berlin.”

Moviegoer continued to fix the tickets. 

He fixed all the tickets until October.

“These two are different from the others.”

-Oooh, Orsay!

-Eeeeh, LA!

“November, France, Orsay. December, USA, California, LA. This is a ticket from a theater near LA Music School!”

-The park near LA Music School was amazing.

-There were so many people. Everyone was taking pictures with violins.

-There were people who lent violins and people who took pictures.

-Moviegoer took one too. He paid for it lol

“I had to take one when I went there.”

-I would take one too… I want to go…

-There were also kids and parents who were learning violin. Did they get some inspiration?

-Are there such things in other countries?

-Maybe some kind of magic?

“Then I’ll hang it on the wall.”

Moviegoer hung the frame on a wall where it could be seen well. 

The tickets were arranged in four rows of three each, shining golden and dazzling. 

Moviegoer smiled sheepishly as he looked at the frame on the wall.

[YouTuber Moviegoer, collected 12 countries 12 months!]

[YouTuber Next Door Room, completed national tour! A total of 17 tickets!]

He didn’t know if he knew that articles with these titles were being uploaded right away, but he opened his mouth with a happy face as he looked at the frame on the wall.

“But I felt something while watching Over The Rainbow more than 12 times.”

-What is it?

-What kind of bombshell are you dropping now?

-The tour started with Moviegoer lol

-lol He’ll start an outdoor broadcast right away lol

“Although it’s a different song, don’t you think the atmosphere of the violin performance in Over The Rainbow and in week 8 are different?”

-Different songs, different atmospheres, right?

-Yeah.

“No. How should I put it? It’s not that the atmosphere changed because of the song change, but it felt completely different because of the performer change…”

-What kind of nonsense is that?

-Yeah. He must be very tired from traveling abroad.

-Moviegoer sir, please rest well.

Moviegoer scratched his cheek at the viewers’ comments. 

He could have said it more confidently if it was a movie, but he didn’t know anything about music, so it was hard to explain more.

“Is that so? Then I’ll end the broadcast here. Unless something big happens, I plan to start the broadcast again in two days.”

-Bye, Moviegoer.

-Okay. I’ll wait for you.

-You always jinx it when you say something like that (ominous).

“What big thing could happen besides collecting tickets?”

Moviegoer laughed lightly.

And a few hours later, a big thing happened.

A video was uploaded on the channel [RAINBOW]. It was a scene of Seo Jun playing ‘Gray’s Violin Piece NO.1’ before filming on stage.

-It sounds good even when I listen to it again.

-They’re releasing the making film for marketing after three weeks since the release… Please release more! More! More!

-But? The atmosphere is a bit different from week 8?

=??? You’re right? Is it because of the clothes?

=It sounds different even when I close my eyes? A lot.

-Moviegoer said that… it was different… was he right?!

=Moviegoer? The YouTuber?

=Yeah, he said it was different, but he couldn’t explain what. But I think Moviegoer will figure it out soon.

=Then I have to watch his broadcast. What time is he on?

=He said he would rest until tomorrow lol But since something big happened, maybe he’ll do it soon?

[Title: Something really big happened…]

“…you. Broadcast.”

As Moviegoer’s exhausted face appeared on the screen, comments of pity and teasing started to pop up.

-Hi, Moviegoer!

-That’s not how you set a flag.

-You usually end it well, but what happened today…

-lol Are you okay? It must hurt a lot.

“I know. I should be careful with what I say from now on.”

-So did you find out the cause?

-Yeah yeah yeah What’s the reason for the difference?

“I thought about it yesterday and today, and I asked my sister too… I think I have a rough idea.”

-In the meantime… awesome.

-The sister who does music?

-The piano teacher!

-So what’s the cause?!

“First, watch this.”

Moviegoer played the busking video. 

It was a compilation of weeks 1 to 7 that Moviegoer had edited before. 

After all the videos were over, he played the video that was uploaded today.

-…Huh?

-…???

“Now you see, right? The video that was uploaded today was probably the performance that actor Lee Seo Jun was going to do at week 8 busking. As you can see in the video, the boy on stage looks like ‘Gray’, while week 8 looks like ‘Lee Seo Jun’, right?”

-You’re right?

-Wow. The difference between on and off acting is huge.

-Amazing. It doesn’t seem like much has changed…

“Maybe week 8 was set as Lee Seo Jun’s performance, and the video that was uploaded today was set as ‘Gray’s’ performance. Since the performers are different, the performances are bound to be different too.”

-…It’s scary that Moviegoer noticed that.

-Lee Seo Jun who did such acting is amazing too.

-But why did Lee Seo Jun suddenly change his acting in week 8?

-Yeah. He doesn’t seem like someone who would act poorly.

-Yeah, he’s young but he’s an acting genius, so there must be a reason.

“I looked into that too yesterday.”

-What did you do? Didn’t you say you would rest?

-Moviegoer lol He can’t stand being curious lol He has to find the answer lol

-That’s why I watch Moviegoer’s live! He answers anything I ask!

-When will I get a boyfriend/girlfriend?

-Moviegoer: I think only God knows that.

-lol

“What I focused on was the editing of week 8 video. Until week 7, everything from actor Lee Seo Jun greeting to taking his violin and leaving his seat was filmed, but only his performance was captured in week 8. So I thought something happened that day.”

-Ooh. Ooh. Detective mode!

-I’m a great detective! In my grandmother’s name!

“So I searched SNS. I found it while reading a post with #DevilishTalent.”

Moviegoer showed two SNS posts on the screen.

They were SNS posts that were buried by the fact that the violin boy was Lee Seo-jun after week 8 video was uploaded on channel [RAINBOW].

[The first performance was shocking in a bad way. Why did he do that today when he did well until last week? But I’m glad the last performance was shocking in a good way. If not, I would have grabbed his teacher by the collar. ;)]

#DevilishTalent #ViolinBoy #WhoIsTheTeacher? #BeGrateful!

[It was really touching today. The music students were nice too, but the violin boy’s performance was really amazing. It was a simple but happy music to listen to. But no one knew the title of the song. I’m just waiting for the YouTube upload. I hope Rainbow filmed it.]

#DevilishTalent #ViolinBoy #BuskingWeek8 #IOnlyTrustRainbow!

-The first performance? The bad side? Teacher?

-This cheap feeling… Swallow??

“Yes. I think the actor Lee Seo-jun, who played ‘Gray’ in the first performance, ended up playing ‘Gray’s performance learned from Swallow’. You can tell from the expression ‘good students’ that the students who were watching came over…”

The moviegoer’s speech sped up and the comments slowed down. 

But the number of viewers kept increasing.

Ignoring the number of viewers, the moviegoer showed a picture on the screen. 

It was a picture of Lee Seo-jun with his chin on the violin from week 1 to week 8.

“If you look at the picture, you can see that the violin that was smaller than Lee Seo-jun from week 1 to week 7 suddenly grew bigger in week 8. Maybe the ‘good music students’ helped him.”

-…!

-Wow!

“That might be why Lee Seo-jun stopped acting as Gray and played his gratitude with his own performance.”

“How did he know!”

“Is it true, Seo-jun?”

The kids who gathered at Seo-jun’s house for the first time in a long time looked at the television that was playing the moviegoer’s channel and then looked at Seo-jun who was sitting next to them.

They were originally playing board games with their friends, but they turned on the moviegoer’s live broadcast after receiving a text message from Andaho.

“Yeah. He said he would upload a video later, but there was someone who already figured it out.”

“I wonder what kind of video it is.”

“You just have to wait a little bit. He said he would upload it at 6 o’clock Korean time. Oh, by the way, do you want to have dinner? Mom ordered pizza.”

“Yeah! Yeah! I want to eat!”

“Me too!”

Seo-jun and the kids chatted happily while thinking about the delicious pizza. 

The moviegoer’s broadcast continued.

“Of course, this is just my guess…”

-Moviegoer. There’s a new video on Rainbow!

“…Let’s watch this first.”

-lol

A second video was uploaded on channel [RAINBOW].

Seo-jun and the kids, the moviegoer and the viewers, and people all over the world who subscribed to channel [RAINBOW] watched the video.

A boy who greeted like in weeks 1-7 appeared on the screen. It was Gray. A terrible violin performance was heard, and a man called the boy.

The man corrected his posture, and other people helped him too. 

A woman who was carrying a violin case handed him a violin.

And with a perfectly fitting violin, ‘Seo-jun Lee’ gave a wonderful performance.

[Seo-jun Lee: The day before week 8 busking, I filmed a scene where I showed my friends ‘the performance I learned from Swallow teacher’. I made a mistake because I thought I was continuing Gray’s acting.]

Lee Seo-jun in the video smiled. He had a dazzling aura like a superstar, and there was no trace of Gray.

[Seo-jun Lee: But I never imagined that something like that would happen. I was so grateful to those people who cared about a child they didn’t even know. It was also my last busking, and I wanted to thank them as Seo-jun Lee, but revealing my identity was something I couldn’t do… So I played as Seo-jun Lee.]

-Moviegoer guessed right wow

-Now I understand his SNS too.

-Yeah, that bad teacher was Swallow. Rebecca until week 7.

-Lee Seo-jun is amazing. How many kinds of performances does he have?

-Lee Seo-jun version, Gray busking version, Gray stage version… Wow…

-And he also has a version where he plays badly on purpose.

-He’s really an acting genius…

Thanks to the story revealed by channel [RAINBOW], the audience of Over The Rainbow, which had been stagnant for a while, increased again. And [Gray’s Violin Performance, NO.1] rose to number one on the chart.

-Over The Rainbow is good too… But that despair part is too heartbreaking lol It’s hard to listen lightly.

-Yeah, Gray’s song is better for light listening.

-But Over The Rainbow has great catharsis lol It’s awesome to listen without thinking lol

-When it plays in a cafe, no one talks during the despair part lol They just listen quietly lol

Choi Yoo-sung, who was surfing the internet with a proud face after watching the video and articles, heard his phone ring. 

It was his younger brother in Korea. 

He hadn’t contacted him once since he went abroad for study, so he thought something big had happened and quickly answered the phone.

“What? What’s wrong?”

-Is this you, hyung?

“What?”

-The person who taught Lee Seo-jun violin! The Asian who appeared in the busking! It’s you, right?!

“Uh… Yeah…”

-Look at that! It’s you! Mom and dad said it’s not you! But it’s obviously you! Hyung, hyung! Did you see Lee Seo-jun?! Did you get his autograph?!

The phone was noisy. 

He was glad it wasn’t a big deal. 

Choi Yoo-sung chuckled and told him about the day he met Seo-jun.

From the story that he watched all the busking, to the day he filmed the concert scene, to the day he got an autograph and a photo with Seo-jun and Natalie. 

The family on the other side of the phone was excited by the thrilling story.

-Can I tell this to my friends? The movie is out, and did you sign any secret contract or something?

“It’s okay. He said it was fine as long as I didn’t say anything before uploading the video.”

-I have to brag to my friends!

Choi Yoo-sung smiled. 

The day he got Seo-jun’s autograph, he also greeted Benjamin Morton and Jason Moore by chance. 

It was a really happy day.

That amazing and fun story was passed on to his family, and his family told their acquaintances.

[The Asian in the video, revealed to be a Korean student studying abroad!]

[Korean student studying abroad, didn’t know he was Lee Seo-jun. He got his autograph!]
