BXBX NOVEL Chapter 252
Chapter 252
It was early, but the bookstore was crowded with people.
People were lining up at the bookstore?
It was a curious sight that made the passersby look twice.
One of them couldnt resist asking one of the people in line.
Whats this line for? Is there a signing event today?
No, its not a signing event. We came to buy a novel thats on sale today.
Is it a famous novel?
The author is a newcomer and the book is not a bestseller, but
Imiyeon smiled.
The person who recommended it is a famous actor.
Oh. Who is it?
Lee Seo-jun.
What?
Thats how the line grew.
***
Inside the bookstore.
The bookstore staff who came to work early today stopped moving the boxes of books next to the counter and looked at the situation outside.
Wow! Its getting longer!
Is it like this at other bookstores?
I heard that people are lining up at other bookstores too, but not as many as here.
One of the staff checked the photos posted on SNS and shook his head.
There were people lining up at other bookstores too, but not as many as here.
Well, if I were them, I would come to our bookstore too.
Me too. Im planning to buy the book later.
The bookstore staff knew why people came all the way to this bookstore.
Lee Seo-jun came to our bookstore!
This bookstore was the one that hosted the book concert for the novel Mirror.
Thats why Lee Seo-juns fans wanted to buy the book here.
The staff who was estimating the number of people outside and the number of books sent by Yeongung Publishing House nodded his head.
But it doesnt seem like well run out of books.
The book concert was in July, right? They must have stocked up since then.
Thats why they didnt release the stock until now.
The staff who divided the entrance into two parts to distinguish between those who wanted to buy Mirror and those who came to the bookstore for other reasons said with a regretful face.
I was at the bookstore at that time, but I didnt see him.
Me too. I was working hard!
I wonder if he was caught on CCTV
They all looked at the CCTV on the ceiling with regretful faces.
I didnt know that CCTV footage was kept for 30 days.
Me neither.
They chatted while working hard. Thanks to their busy movements, they were able to finish all the preparations before the opening time of the bookstore.
Okay. Lets open the bookstore door now.
The staff who took a break for a moment scattered and got ready to greet the customers.
Soon, the bookstore door opened wide. The people who were in line entered the bookstore.
Welcome. If you want to buy Mirror, please go straight to the counter.
Please line up here in a row.
Following the staffs words, those who went straight to the counter picked up one or two books with a white band around them.
They paid with their books, they paid with their books.
The line quickly shortened and it was Imiyeons turn soon.
She also picked up Park Seong-ahs book, who couldnt come today, and briefly looked at the book while others were paying.
The white band with black letters and a square pattern, and a single sentence written on it naturally drew Imiyeons attention.
[Looking into Lee Seo-juns Mirror[]]
There was no sentence that could arouse more curiosity than this.
Imiyeon unknowingly took out her phone and scanned the QR code with her camera.
Not only Imiyeon, but everyone who had a book in their hands scanned the QR code with their phones.
[Preparing.]
Oh, right.
Imiyeon sighed with a disappointed face.
It was still late September.
There was still a long time until December when Yeowool Yejungs graduation performance would be uploaded on YouTube.

[Title: I bought Mirror (novel) but Im hesitating.]
Ive been hesitating for an hour whether I should read it or not.
I havent even opened the cover yet
The band on the book has a QR code that seems to say Watch Lee Seo-juns play!. How can I not hesitate?
It would be fun to watch it knowing what it is, but it would be more fun to watch it without knowing anything.
- Me too;;;
=22 I went to the bookstore early in the morning and bought it, but I cant read it Its ridiculous even for me.
=333 Seriously. I dont know what Im doing with this book in front of me
=444 Im dying to know what Lee Seo-jun saw and chose this book!
- Im not going to read it!
= Why? Do you have a reason?
= Think about Nauiwon and Yeok. How much fun would it be for foreigners who dont know our history. If you dont know, the emotion is doubled!
= Im convinced.
=22 Wow. I was hesitating, but I was convinced in an instant.
=333 I just sealed the book. Lets stay away until December!
- But it wouldnt be bad to read it.
=22 Think about Nauiwon and Yeok. Even if you knew, you felt the same emotion, right? If Lee Seo-jun acts, it would be touching even if you know.
- This is really a matter of personal preference.
[Title: I was fooled by the QR code of Mirror (novel).]
The QR code on the band was amazing
I knew the play wasnt out yet, but I scanned it anyway. And then I got [Preparing]
Cant they at least upload a practice video
But the QR code is convenient.
The problem is that the phone screen is small.
-?? You can watch it on your phone and then on your computer, right?
= You have to watch this kind of thing on a big screen for the first time.
-The best thing is to see it live
= Insider. I want to be an insider of Yeowool Yejung!
***
The weekend passed and Monday came.
The list of successful applicants for the Mirror team was posted on the bulletin board of Yeowool Yejung.
The kids who were happy and those who were disappointed mixed and looked at the bulletin board.
Class is over and go to practice room 5!
Park Min-hyung, a first-year student in the art department who proudly put his name on the list of successful applicants, shone his eyes.
After school, the Mirror Team gathered in the fifth practice room they had rented until the graduation performance.
The Background & Props Team, the Music Team, and the Actors Team were all there.
Seo-jun smiled as he looked at the kids sitting together.
Lets do our best until the performance!
Yeah!
Thank you!
Well work hard!
Seo-jun grinned at the enthusiastic responses of the kids and handed out the scripts he had bound by numbers at Cocoa Entertainment.
This is the script, and it would be nice if you could read it by tomorrow. The Background & Props Team and the Music Team too. Ive already decided on the background, props, and music for each scene in the script. Of course, if you have any better suggestions, Id love to hear them.
Okay.
Got it.
The leaders of the Background & Props Team and the Music Team nodded.
And if the actors have any better ideas, please let me know.
Thats how the preparation for the graduation performance began.

[WTV Film Festival Voting Begins!]
[Lets Learn How to Vote for WTV Film Festival!]
[Site Crash on the First Day?]
[Thankfully Safe(?) WTV Homepage!]
[WTV, Trying Our Best!]
[From Sprouts, Voting by Country.]
-Oh. It started.
-I found my ID! Ill go right away!
=LOL I think I saw your post.
-Will the site crash? (Thrilling!)
=22 Came to watch LOL
-WTV: Trying our best to defend!! Please be gentle!!
=From Sprouts: Be prepared for a week.
=LOL Is this a war LOL
-So which country is voting today?
=The first day is our country. The last day is America.
=Then Ill do it today too!
=22 Me too!!
=333 I was going to do it tomorrow, but I feel like I have to do it today!
=WTV: NOoooo!
The voting for WTV Film Festival began.
To prevent the WTV site from crashing due to the influx of fans from different countries, From Sprouts decided to divide the countries by days and conduct the voting accordingly.
I didnt know it would turn out like this
Seo-jun scratched his cheek, thinking it was a good idea.
Not only Seo-juns fans, but also ordinary people followed that method.
Why are they all voting today?
Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon laughed at Seo-juns question.
Because its fun.
Dad, do you want to do it today too?
Seo-eun-hye and Lee Min-joon, who had finished packing their own luggage, helped Lee Min-joon, who was still packing his luggage.
They voted too.
They had been looking for their IDs and passwords that they had used eight years ago until yesterday, but they both seemed to have found them.
Ah, I have to vote too.
It was a bit embarrassing to vote for himself, but it would be more unfair if he didnt get an award because of one vote difference.
Well, I dont think Ill lose.
He felt confident as he saw his fans encouraging him to vote.
No matter who his opponent was, he didnt seem to lose.
Thanks to his reliable fans, Seo-jun was able to vote with a fluttering heart without any anxiety.
Bing!
Seo-juns phone rang just as he finished voting.
Lee Ji-seok: Voting done.
Kim Jong-ho: Voted.
Park Do-hoon: Done!
Choi So-young: Is today right? (Voting proof shot)
Lee Da-jin: Me too! (Voting proof shot)
Mina: Voted!
Ji-hoo: I felt like I had to do it today too.
Ji-o: 222
Ji-yoon: Me too!
Charlie: Unfortunately, today is not Frances voting day.
Charlie: Ill vote right away on the day after tomorrow!
Grace: Im in America so its the last day
Grace: Ill definitely do it!
Evan: The last day is fine, right?
Rachel: Yes!
Evan Block and Rachel Hill, as well as other acquaintances in America, all sent messages saying they would vote on the last day.
The messages didnt stop there.
Jason: Jun. WTV Film Festival? Voting.
Jason: Teacher and I are in Paris right now. Do we have to vote on the day after tomorrow?
Benjamin: I thought it was by nationality, but Jason has a different opinion.
Jason and Professor Benjamin too
He never dreamed that Jason Moore and Professor Benjamin, who were performing in Paris, would know about the day system.
Seo-jun laughed bitterly at the influence of [From Sprouts] beyond his imagination and sent a reply.
<The day after tomorrow or the last day is fine!
<Thank you all for voting!
***
Early October.
Seo-jun and his family packed their luggage to attend the WTV Film Festival.
They skillfully took out their own carriers and folded the clothes that suited the LA weather in October and put them in the carrier.
Is this enough for clothes? Do I need to pack more?
No. I think we have enough clothes now.
Dad. Do I need this too?
Oh, put that in the carrier too.
Seo-jun and Seo-eun-hye, who had finished packing their own luggage, helped Lee Min-joon, who was still packing his luggage.
Seo-jun and Seo-eun-hye had little luggage because they would return right after the WTV Film Festival, but Lee Min-joon had a lot of luggage because he had to go on a two-week business trip to America after the WTV Film Festival.
Seo-jun looked at Lee Min-joon, who had packed his last luggage, and smiled.
I hope it turns out well.
Itll be awesome with Jenna Triad and Mirror Team participating. Of course, itll be a bit pricey.
Seo-jun nodded at the mention of Hollywood special makeup team, Jenna Triad and Mirror Team. They were really good at making the most popular Go Joo-won model at Escape Theme Park.
And with Uncle Hee-sangs skills added, itll be really cool.
Seo-jun giggled as he recalled the concept art that Lee Min-joon showed him.
