Chapter 638

“As expected, it’s up.”

None of the three were surprised by the article they had anticipated.

While Ahn Da Ho and Choi Tae-woo were contacting Kings Agency and Whale Studio respectively, Seo-jun browsed the article and the comments below.

[Actor Seo-jun Lee, attacked during filming?!]

‘Hmm.’

There was no mention or picture of him keeping a safe distance from the assailant and escaping safely. Only strangely provocative content was there.

‘Well, I guess this is how they get more views.’

It was an article that made the reader’s heart sink.

And even though it happened after the filming was over, they said ‘during filming’. Was it a mistake or intentional? Anyway, because of that, Whale Studio was getting a lot of criticism.

-What did I just see…?

-Attack!? Attack!?

-Is Jun okay?? He’s fine, right??

=I can’t see because of the tears

-Attack during filming… What was Whale Studio doing?

=I agree. Safety should be the priority.

“They uploaded the article.”

Before more shocked comments piled up, a new article came up. Of course, it was from their side.

[Actor Seo-jun Lee, safely evacuated after an attempted attack after filming!]

[Actor Seo-jun Lee’s security team stopped it!]

Unlike the previous article that was edited to be sensational, these articles detailed the situation at the time.

It said that it happened right before they moved to the hotel after filming, that the assailant had no weapon, and that the security team subdued him right away. The attached pictures were also captured from the video that the security team was filming. ɽ

-They said attack, so I thought he ran at him… But there was some distance, huh?

=If you look at the picture, you can see that there are bodyguards in civilian clothes. That’s why he couldn’t get close to Jun.

=Amazing. They caught him right away.

-It’s a relief that he had no weapon…

=If he had a gun… I can’t see because of the tears.

-Whale Studio was controlling the extras inside the concert hall.

=They wouldn’t have expected this to happen either.

-What the hell is this… Who is the culprit?

=Yeah. Why did he do that?

The people who sighed in relief were curious about the culprit next. And his motive.

[Culprit, revealed to be unknown actor Johnny Struck!]

[I was Seo-jun Lee’s role model! He shouted!]

“They found out already.”

“Yeah.”

They couldn’t put the related information in the article because they handed over the culprit to the police, but the culprit’s identity was revealed through the SNS of the people who were there. It was such a loud voice that they couldn’t miss it.

-Johnny Struck? Who is that?

-I was there. I didn’t know what he was saying at first, but after I evacuated and thought about it, it seemed like he was talking about Jun’s role model.

=Johnny Struck is on Jun’s role model list.

=Wow. He did that because of that?

=There were a lot of people on SNS who said they were him, but he actually went to find him.

=+)And he looked like he was on drugs. His eyes were completely gone.

=Wow… Was he a junkie?

-There’s a video here!

=(link)

And then a video came up.

[Jun! I’m a fan!]

[Thank you.]

The camera filming Jun, who was smiling brightly as Gray Vainy. The camera movement felt like he was rolling his feet with joy. Then, a loud scream was heard.

And then, ‘What the hell, that guy!?’ a fan’s voice and scared voices followed. Soon, the shaking camera showed the bodyguards ushering the civilians to the staff entrance.

[Bend down and go to the back of the car.]

[Yes, yes.]

Seo-jun did the same.

He looked calm even though he should have been flustered, and he evacuated the fans around him to a safe place first. And he didn’t take his eyes off the assailant who was screaming at him.

His black eyes looked like they were burning with anger.

-ㄱㅆ) After that, Jun safely evacuated by car. No more video. I was in a panic, but Jun talked to me and I was able to calm down a bit.

-Lee’s expression was totally frozen.

=He must have been surprised and angry. But he looks calm.

=He evacuated the fans first (tears)

-I thought Lee would do something… Like in the movies.

=?? He has bodyguards, why??

=He went to the army. And he’s good at sports.

=He would only get in the way if he stepped out when he has bodyguards.

“Movies and reality are different, you know.”

Ahn Da Ho frowned at the comment that said he thought Seo-jun would do something. Choi Tae-woo nodded in agreement with Ahn Da Ho’s words, and Seo-jun smiled softly. Movies and reality were different, but if there were no bodyguards, Seo-jun would have stepped up and stopped him.

“I wonder if Korea is okay.”

“It’s morning now, right?”

“Yeah.”

They thought of Korea, where there must have been a commotion since morning, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces. Cocoa Entertainment, who was responding, must have been very busy.

“But Korea should be fine since we uploaded the article first…”

>

“…Not really.”

Choi Tae-woo stopped at the bold calligraphy sentence that took over the main screen of [Sprout]. Seo-jun and Ahn Da Ho burst into laughter.

“Then I’ll post on the fan cafe.”

“Okay.”

[Actor Seo-jun, almost attacked after filming Over the Rainbow 2!]

[Cocoa Entertainment, actor Seo-jun safe and sound!]

-No. No. What is this…? Attack??? Attack?!

=We sent him to film well, and this?!!??

-ㅅㅂ I cursed as soon as I saw it.

=Me too, I only think of guns when I hear attack in America…!

-We were almost attacked, but in the US, it was reported that they were actually attacked.

=It seems like they have calmed down now.

-But what is this all about… Why is it so important who the role model is?

=I was curious, but now I’m not.

-Seo-jun, let’s go back to Korea.

=Let’s film in Korea. I’ll watch it with CG in mind.

=Yeah, let’s film in Korea.

While Ahn Da Ho and Choi Tae-woo checked the articles and comments, Seo-jun posted a letter on [Sprout] that he had written in advance, saying, ‘I’m not hurt at all and I’m safe. I’ll finish the filming safely and come back! I’m sorry for worrying you!’ He also took a picture of his accommodation and uploaded it.

-Thank goodness you’re

=Sorryㅠㅠ It’s not Seo-jun’s faultㅠ

-Filming… I guess there’s no choice. It’s been a long-awaited filming.

=ㅠOver the Rainbow two.

-Take care of yourself, Seo-jun.

=Safety firstㅠㅠ

Seo-jun’s face was filled with a smile at the comments full of worry and love.

“I think I just need to check it out now.”

It was a big deal, so the issue would last for a long time, but it didn’t seem like it would be a problem for Seo-jun or the work.

“Since they postponed the rest of the filming to tomorrow, take it easy today, Seo-jun. You worked hard today.”

“Da Ho hyung and Tae-woo hyung, you guys rest well too.”

Seo-jun gave a tip to the two managers who were more surprised than anyone else.

***

The next day.

Even though the incident happened, the filming of [Over the Rainbow 2] continued.

“Don’t worry, we can control it more thoroughly from now on.”

Ahn Da Ho nodded at the words of Nelson, the person in charge, who had lost weight overnight after going through a commotion.

Today’s filming was inside the hotel, and tomorrow and the day after, they were going to film at a country house in Kansas City. Both places were perfectly controllable, and the studio and set in LA where they would do the rest of the filming were even more so.

“Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine.”

Not only Seo-jun, but also Catherine Miller and Paul Oden, who were with him, received the staff’s worries and concerns as they got their makeup done.

“I’m really fine.”

“Exactly.”

Paul Oden and Catherine Miller, who didn’t know that it was because of the tip that Seo-jun had given, prepared for the filming cheerfully. Seo-jun smiled brightly at the sight of his friends.

Soon after.

The filming began.

“It’s okay to make a lot of NGs, just relax.”

Worried that the young actors’ condition might not be good because of the incident, Sarah Roth, the director, spoke with a worried voice.

“Ready, action!”

A hotel in Kansas City.

The door of the accommodation where Gray Vainy, the genius violinist, was staying, opened.

“Gray.”

The person who appeared was Gray Vainy’s manager, who took care of his schedule and condition.

The manager glanced at the documentary filming team that was with Gray, then turned his eyes to Gray.

“You did a great job on the tour. Everyone said they listened well and were moved. They asked me to tell you that.”

“Thank you.”

Gray smiled brightly.

He hadn’t known him for a few years, but this kind manager was the most precious person after his mother and friends in LA. That’s why he didn’t want to worry him more.

“Now that the concert is over and it’s a rest period… There’s one offer for a performance, do you want to hear it?”

Gray hesitated for a moment at the manager’s words, then smiled and nodded.

“Yes. What kind of offer is it?”

“It’s a charity concert in LA. Other performers will also be on stage, so you only need to play one or two songs.”

Charity concert. One or two songs.

Still,

‘Maybe it’s okay.’

Because of the heavy emotion he felt at the last concert, Gray was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to play the violin anymore, but he couldn’t let go of it.

The manager spoke to Gray, who was lost in thought for a moment.

“If playing is hard, you can just watch the concert.”

“Just watch?”

“Yes. It’s a charity concert, so they need some publicity.”

They seemed to think that Gray Vainy could gather enough publicity.

Gray nodded.

“I’ll watch it. Playing… Can I decide later?”

“Yes. Of course. Take your time, Gray.”

The manager answered with a gentle smile of relief.

After the manager left the room, Gray asked George, who was behind the camera.

“I suddenly got a schedule, is the documentary filming okay?”

“Don’t worry. We have to film these sudden situations as they are, that’s what a documentary is.”

That’s true.

“It would be nice to end the filming with the charity concert.”

“Oh. Is that how it is?”

It seemed like yesterday when he said he would film a documentary in the morning, but now it’s over in a few days. He was happy to spend time with George, even though it was for work.

“I’m here!”

Rebecca came in with a bright smile as always. She had something in her hand.

“Rebecca is leaving too.”

Rebecca, who said she would follow the concert, was also time to leave. Gray’s face was full of regret.

Rebecca smiled brightly after hearing the story from George.

“I’ll be there until the LA charity concert! It’s LA anyway.”

“Really?”

“Yes! Oh. And this!”

Rebecca handed him what she had in her hand. It was a paper envelope, and it looked like an invitation.

“My father’s close friend lives nearby, and his kid sent me an invitation to come and play. Do you want to go with me, Gray?”

Gray blinked his eyes at the invitation that looked like it was made by a child.

“Can I go too?”

“Friends are welcome, whoever they are!”

“But…”

It was a rest day for the next few days, but it seemed rude to go with the documentary filming team. He also felt uneasy about going to a stranger’s house.

“There’s a wheat field there, and they’re going to harvest it in a few days. The golden wheat field is amazing!”

“The wheat fields around here are famous. You might get some inspiration.”

“Let’s go! They’ll make us something delicious!”

“It wouldn’t hurt to rest somewhere different for a few days, would it?”

As if they had planned it, the friends’ words followed each other.

Inspiration.

Gray suddenly remembered the score he had written hard in the park. And he hesitated, but then nodded.

“Cut! Okay!”

Sarah Roth, the director, said with a smile.

“I was worried for nothing.”

“Hahaha.”

The three great actors smiled brightly.
