Chapter 55

After the long Lunar New Year holiday, the promotion for Shadowman 2 began.

Scenes from the teaser video of Redbone 2 were shown on television, as well as edited clips of Seo-jun and Evan Block smiling brightly and touring Central Park.

There were also commercials featuring Evan Block fighting and a blonde woman appearing.

-Rachel Hill! Evan Block! The members of High Teen With are together again!

=High Teen With?

=Its the teen movie With. It was a masterpiece that revealed that Rachel Hill and Evan Block, who had a love line, were actually multiple personalities in the same body. LOL

=Wow;;;

[Shadowman 2, coming soon in mid-March!]

[Korean Hollywood star, Lee Seo-jun, is in it!]

[Lets learn about the filmography of the proud Korean, Lee Seo-jun!]

[The debate. Hero or villain?]

-So, is he a hero or a villain?

=Cant you tell by looking at him?! Hes a hero!

=Cant you tell by the way theyre promoting it?! Hes a villain!

-But if hes a villain, I cant empathize with him. I keep thinking of him as an angel. I prayed and went to work today.

=Are you the one who gave him a money envelope and got 500,000 won?

=Yeah, yeah, LOL

The internet was full of opinions, but most of them predicted that Seo-jun was a hero with a ratio of 9 to 1.

They also didnt hide their anticipation for Shadowman 2.

Unlike the noisy online world, Seo-juns family was peaceful.

Seo-jun, what do you think of this? Its light and doesnt get dirty.

Lee Min-joon showed him a navy blue backpack. Seo-jun tried on the backpack that looked soft and fluffy on the back and pondered seriously.

The straps seemed to fit his shoulders well, and it was light. Seo-jun nodded, and Seo Eun-hye, who was next to him, showed him a sky blue backpack.

How about this? Its refreshing and nice to look at.

Hmm.

Seo-jun also tried on the sky blue backpack. He switched between the two backpacks and chose the one his dad picked.

Lee Min-joon cheered and put the navy blue backpack in the cart. Seo Eun-hye put the sky blue backpack back on the shelf with a disappointed face.

Next, we need a pencil case, pencils, erasers, and notebooks.

The large mart was full of families who brought their children. As if they had made a promise, they all filled their carts with backpacks, stationery, notebooks, and so on.

Thats right. Next month was March.

It was the start of a new semester and a month full of excitement for the children who were going to enter school.

Lee Seo-jun, who had turned eight, was assigned to the nearby Maesil Elementary School.

Uncle Hee-sang said he would make me a pencil case.

Seo-jun, who was looking around the shelves, suddenly said.

He said its a gift for entering school! He also made a lot of dolls that I can attach to my backpack.

The couple, who were heading to the stationery section, shook their heads.

Is he going to expand into stationery now?

He must be popular. Well, then we just need to buy notebooks.

Seo-jun had chosen a notebook with a cover he liked and finished preparing for elementary school.

That night, Kim Hee-sang showed up at his house and handed him a box.

This is a basic item, a long slime pencil case. There are five different colors. This one is a werewolf wolf version. Theres also a bear version.

Uncle. What about the giant worm?

At Seo-juns words, Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon, who were eating oranges, choked.

The giant worm? That huge earthworm?! They wanted to make a pencil case out of that?! Even though the prejudice had faded a lot, earthworms were still

That was rejected by the planning team and the design team. They said it was impossible.

Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon imagined the planning and design team members who were silently cursing the boss with their eyes.

It cant be helped.

Its a shame. It would have suited him well.

Seo-jun and Kim Hee-sang had now compromised with reality.

***

March 3rd.

It was still a chilly morning.

Entrance ceremonies were held at elementary schools across the country.

Seo-jun, who was going to attend Maesil Elementary School, headed to the school with his mom and dad.

Maybe it was because he was tall, or maybe it was because he had balanced his magic and mana, but no one recognized Seo-jun except for his kindergarten friends and their parents. They just whispered that he was handsome. Was he a model? He looked familiar.

The couple and Seo-jun sighed with relief at their reaction.

The entrance ceremony in the auditorium was short and simple, considering the childrens attention span.

Seo-jun was assigned to class 2 of the first grade. He saw his parents sitting in the back of the classroom and the children sitting at their desks with their names on them.

Seo-jun! Sit here!

Here, here.

He was looking for where his name was written, but there were children calling him.

Hi. Im Mina. And this is Ji-yoon.

Hi. Seo-jun!

Ji-hoo and Ji-o are in the same class too?

Luckily, all the baby friends he had made first were there. They were in the same class and their seats were close.

As he was chatting with his friends the topic was the unicorn doll hanging from his backpack the door opened and the homeroom teacher came in.

The homeroom teacher called each students name and gave some announcements to the parents and children.

See you all tomorrow!

Yes! Teacher!

With a cheerful greeting, the entrance ceremony was over.

Seo-jun held his mom and dads hands and headed to his grandfathers house. Both his maternal and paternal relatives gathered to celebrate Seo-juns entrance.

On the way to his grandfathers house, his mom and dad stopped by a cell phone store and activated a smartphone for him.

When they put on the phone case with various monsters drawn by Kim Hee-sang as a surprise gift, it became a perfect Seo-jun exclusive phone.

As they registered the phone numbers of their acquaintances, the couple said to Seo-jun.

You have to answer the phone well. Mom and dad are worried.

If youre in danger, call us. If mom and dad dont answer, call grandma and grandpa. Or your uncles. We even registered the phone numbers of Brown Black hyungs.

Okay!

Ive registered on Banana Talk too. Should we send a message?

Let me do it!

My smartphone! Seo-jun awkwardly held the phone and sent a message. Many chat rooms were created as many as the number of people. He sent messages in both Korean and English.

<Hello. This is Lee Seo-jun.

<I bought a smartphone!

<This is my phone number! Please register it

I couldnt decide whether to do the American one or the Korean one, so I did both!

***

Our puppy is already going to school!

This is a gift from Grandpa.

This is a gift from Grandma.

Seo-jun smiled brightly as he held the gift box. Grandpa whispered to him. He would give him a birthday present separately.

After eating delicious food and returning home, he found that many people had congratulated him on his entrance to elementary school. The news had reached America.

It must have been Nara.

Nara told Jonathan, and Jonathan told Director Ryan, and everyone found out, right?

When did he become friends with Jonathan?

Seo-eun-hye shook her head.

They all sent entrance gifts and birthday gifts together.

Wow. There will be a lot of deliveries for a few days, right?

As Min-joon predicted, gifts arrived from American acquaintances and Brown Black. Through Cocoa Entertainment, gifts were also delivered from Lee Ji-seok and Director Choi Dae-man.

Seo-jun raised his head and looked at the gift boxes piled up in the living room.

Are they all mine?

Yes. They are Seo-juns.

The couple was grateful for the gifts piled up in the living room, but they sighed involuntarily. Especially, they were afraid of Nara and Kevins gifts.

And we have to add Rachel to that list.

Yeah.

Kevin and Nara, who had adapted to sending professional violins and guitars, sent them. Hollywood actress Rachel Hill sent an expensive electronic piano. Evan sent books related to movies.

They laughed at the gifts that showed their personalities.

Do you want to learn instruments while youre at it? Violins and guitars are hard, but pianos seem okay to learn by watching videos.

Or you can go to an academy.

Um. Ill think about it!

In Seo-juns fan cafe, they decided to donate instead of sending birthday gifts to Seo-jun. Seo-jun and his parents posted a thank-you note on the fan cafe. They left comments saying they were looking forward to Shadowman 2.

***

It was still cold. But he felt spring coming.

Mid-March. Shadowman 2 was released.

The poster is cool, right?

Kim Hee-sang looked at the poster on the wall.

Mom and Dad went on a date for the first time in a long time. Kim Hee-sang took care of Seo-jun to see his picture.

The poster of Shadowman 2, with Shadowmans face looking somewhere with a stern expression, was attached to the wall.

Seo-jun, how were the gifts?

Vampire badge! The kids were so jealous of it.

I got interested in metalwork this time and made it myself.

They say your red eyes are very scary!

The friends said it was scary but also cool. Kim Heesang and Seo Jun whispered jokes to each other. Because, this was a movie theater where Shadowman 2 was playing.

It would be a total mess if Seo Juns identity was revealed.

Hehehe.

Seo Jun and Kim Heesang sat in the empty seats. The screening time for Shadowman 2 they booked was still far away. Seo Jun wanted to hear what people were saying and dragged Kim Heesang out early.

Of course hes a hero, right? He filmed with Evan Block so affectionately.

No, thats why its weird. He filmed so openly. Maybe hes actually a villain?

Even if William is a villain, what reason would he have to film with Shadowman so affectionately?

Well, thats true, but

Everyone was curious about Williams position.

I was more curious about how William, who was sucked into a strange wormhole, ended up on Earth.

Me too. What the hell happened?

Im so curious!

Soon, the cleaning of the theater was over and the door opened. The staff began to guide the next audience.

Screen 4! Those who are going to watch Shadowman 2, please enter!

Seo Jun and Kim Heesang held hands and headed into the theater.

Park Seongwon followed behind them. His small height stood out among the many audience members.

Even such a young kid came to watch. But, where have I seen him before?

But as soon as he sat in his reserved seat, he forgot about it. It was Shadowman 2, which he had been waiting for two years. His heart was pounding.

The ads ended and the theater darkened. Park Seongwon waited for the logo of Marinesa to appear. It was just a logo, but it was a scene that made him nervous and excited.

But the flashy logo that Park Seongwon expected did not appear and the screen turned black. And music he had never heard before flowed from the speakers all over the theater. It was a heavy and gloomy music that seemed to hit his chest.

It was a music that would later be used as the OST of Jin Natra.

The black screen brightened and black shadows moved. They clustered and separated, moving vigorously like black flames.

-You cant even do this?

-As expected, a picked-up kid.

-Hes not even our kind.

A mocking voice was heard. The sound filled the theater.

Park Seongwon swallowed his saliva. What? Did they play the wrong one?

[Mom, Dad]

And then he heard the sobbing voice of a child. He had no time to guess whose voice it was,

Boom!

Boom boom!

The logo of Marinesa appeared.

Macs part-time job today was to guide tourists around Central Park. Thanks to the diligent tourists, Mac, who had been out since morning, met a child.

Somewhere in the theater, a voice shouted Seo Jun!. But Park Seongwon was focused on the screen.

The child, who looked flustered, had a dignified and gentle atmosphere. Park Seongwon remembered the angel picture that was smiling brightly.

A smile came to his face. Hes a hero after all!

It was time for Mac to finish his part-time job, and he decided to show William around Central Park, since the boy must have been bored staying at the missing center for so long. The two of them visited the baseball stadium, the zoo, and the art museum, until they entered an exhibition hall.

[Memorial Hall]

As the caption appeared, the audience held their breath.

Mac saw the boy listening to his explanation. This was a place for the people who had disappeared through the strange wormhole. And the two of them, who had been touring the memorial hall, stood in front of it.

Wow.

Someone gasped involuntarily, but no one paid attention. Because they felt like they would make a sound too, if they relaxed their bodies a little. Park Sung-won covered his mouth and stared at the screen.

There was William. Mac looked back and forth between the photo and the boy, tilting his head.

In the scene where the boy realized, Park Sung-won and the audience felt a chill. They had been wondering how he would become a hero, but he wasnt. The feeling they had in that moment, it wasnt of a hero.

Park Sung-won denied that fact in his mind. No. That cant be. He was such a good kid And he remembered the god he had seen in the evil spirit. It was because he felt unfamiliar, like that. It would get better later

And then Bell appeared, and the boys, Jin Natras story was revealed. Thats when Park Sung-wons mouth opened wide, recalling the first screen that had appeared.

The boys gentle atmosphere changed in an instant.

His parents who had lost him, his hero who had failed to protect him, and his beloved father who was the cause of his painful time.

The boy who had a good nature couldnt bear the pain, the betrayal.

You should have defeated Natra. And.

The boy who had lost his happy daily life with his mom and dad shed a tear. It rolled down his cheek.

You should have saved me.

Park Sung-won, who couldnt give up on the hero until the end, understood then.

He felt the malice in the boys, Jin Natras eyes as they slowly changed. He felt the small but clear malice that emanated from his whole body, from his head to his toes.

Mac shouted.

Come back! William!

Everyones mind flashed with the bright smile of William, the crying baby mantis, the angel who had been a blessing, but when Jin Natras face, who had turned his back on Mac, was close-up, they forgot it all.

The audience was stunned by the cold and ruthless expression that made their spines shiver.

I am Jin Natra.

Jin Natra left Mac behind and boarded the spaceship. The door of the spaceship closed tightly. At the same time, spaceships appeared in the sky. They were Natras ships. Bell, who had boarded Jins spaceship with Jin, shouted.

Those guys! They followed us all the way here!

Bell remembered the candidates who had laughed in his head. They seemed to hate Jin Natra and had decided to get rid of him.

The candidates spaceships opened and attacked Central Park, where Jin Natras location was marked.

The door opened and the candidates soldiers fell to the ground. In that mess, Bell remembered five years ago.

I have to go and help. Jin. What are you going to do?

Bell, who had become thoughtful, shouted, but Jin Natra just silently watched the screen of the spaceship, where the battle scene of Shadowman and the soldiers appeared.

After that, the citizens who had gone on a picnic were shown fleeing, crying, and bleeding.

Hesitating, Jin left behind and Bell Natra ran to where his soldiers were. And the battle began. The battle flowed without a break.

Then, Jin saw some people who caught his eye. They were the children who had gone out for a walk, holding hands happily.

The child was crying alone in the midst of the war, as if he had lost his mom and dad. Jin Natras eyes shook.

Natras spaceship was falling over the child. Jin got up from his seat without knowing it.

Everyone knew this was his last chance. The last chance for Jin Natra to become a hero. They clenched their fists tightly.

Go back. Go back!

Someone grabbed Jin, who was trying to run away. It was Shadowman. Jin Natra had failed to save him, but Shadowman had defeated all the enemies and rescued the child under the crashing spaceship.

The child returned safely to his parents arms. There were tear stains on his dusty face, but he smiled brightly in his parents embrace.

Jin Natra couldnt take his eyes off that touching scene. He covered his face with both hands.

Everyone was speechless at the malice that spewed out from his back.

You did well.

But why.

Jin Natra bit his lip. A drop of dark red blood fell to the floor.

The audience held their breath.

Here, a new evil was born in the midst of sorrow.

None of the audience had time to think of the angelic Lee Seo-jun. They had no thoughts at all. They only focused on the screen.

Why did he do that when he could!

Why didnt I save him.

Park Sung-won shuddered at the cold, frozen eyes of Jin Natra. The image of Lee Seo-jun, who had been like an angel, had turned black.

The child, who couldnt bear too much pain, began to vent his anger.

Jin went into his room. There was a teddy bear on the table. The audience remembered the same scene. The teddy bear, which had been five years old in Natras time, was very worn out.

William?

Bell came back after the battle. He was wounded, but he had a bright face.

Isnt that teddy bears name William? That man called you William when he saw you Your name was William before you lost your memory.

Jin Natra looked at the teddy bear without a word.

Shadowman stood on the ruins of Central Park. He couldnt take his eyes off the spaceship that was flying into space, where Jin Natra, William, was on board.

Why. Why did this happen?

The broken mask fell to the ground. Macs confused face was revealed.

The movie ended.
