Just by listening to it, it was easy to see what musicians wanted to express. And that âemotional feeling that the public can easily feelâ was necessary for Sarah Lot, a musical movie director.
Coffee was brought to their table. When Benjamin Morton took a sip, Sarah Lot spoke first.
âHave you read the synopsis and script?â
âYes. I liked it. I relate a lot with he story.â
At Benjamin Mortonâs reply, Sarah Lot prevented her urge to smile.
It seems like persuading him would be easier then she thought.
Benjamin Morton, who had a sip of coffee, asked.
âWhat about the other famous classical music composers? There must be someone else that can write a song that suits yourself.â
âYes. There may be others, but what I want is Professor Mortonâs song. I want to convey vivid emotions to the audience.â
Benjamin Morton thought for a while at Sarah Lotâs words, and said.
âI have a favor to ask if you want my song.â
âYes.â
Sarah Lotâs eyes sparkled at the words of Benjamin Morton that basically says that he accepted the proposal.
Benjamin Morton touched the coffee cup with his thumb. His earlier soft expression, went serious.
âDid you find a violinist as a substitute for the main character?â
âNo, not yet. Iâd like to ask the professor. Is there a violinist that you know who could play for the role of the main character?â
Benjamin Morton sighed in relief.
âThatâs what I wanted to ask as a favor. I have a disciple, and I want him to be in the movie.â
Professor Benjamin Mortonâs student!
Coach Sarah Lot cheered in her heart. Benjamin Morton will guarantee his performance, and there is one more thing to promote.
âThank you for your help!â
âWelcome. Iâll send you the song as soon as itâs done.â
Sarah Lot, who had been nodding her head, was suddenly reminded of something she wanted to ask him.
âProfessor Morton.â
âWhat?â
âIf you donât mind, can you teach us how to act?â
âAct? What do you mean?â
Professor Benjamin Morton was confused.
âYes. The performance will be played in a band, but the actors have to be filmed for the performance. We need to match the timing of the song and posture, and I want the professor to help us. I want you to give and intensive lessons for about two weeks before the filming and also help when filming the performance scene.â
Professor Benjamin Morton nodded and then replied.
âIs it okay for my student to come with me?â
âYes, of course!â
âI see. I see. Then, please contact me as soon as the schedule is set. I still have a school lecture, so I need to know in order to adjust my lecture schedule.â
When Benjamin Morton arrive at his home, he wrote a text message to stubborn his student and then turned off his cell phone.

âProfessor Benjamin Morton?â
Seojun looked at the laptop screen with a surprised face. Director Sarah Lot smiled and nodded at his surprised face.
While learning the violin, he heard many things about several violinists from teacher Jung Yi-seul during the break.
Among them, there was Benjamin Morton. The songs composed by him were very touching and beautiful.
âThe teacher said that she respected him the most.â
Wouldnât she faint if she knew this news? Seojun laughed inside.
âYeah. Heâll be giving you lessons for two weeks and help me when filming.â
âThatâs great. But the song was composed really fast.â
âI thought it would take longer, but I was surprised when he finished it faster than I thought. And the song was good too!â
The song was played by Benjamin Mortonâs student but composed by him and while listening to it, it was so good that director Sarah Lot thought Professor Benjamin Morton had entered her head.
She never imagined that a song would come out just like the image she had thought of. She was really lucky to have him in her team.
âThen, all the songs are now prepared right?â
âYes. All you have to do now is to practice.â
âAre the other characters have their respective actors casted yet?â
âThe first and second auditions are over, and only the final audition is left. Itâs time for the production to build the set.â
Sarah Lot smiled lightly. The production cost was more than enough, so everyone could work with ease.
âThe shooting time is decided. Other actors also have to go to school and, you too have to go to school, so we decided to film during next summer vacation. Of course, you have to come to the United States before the summer vacation.â
Seojun already heard this from An Daho. An Daho, Kings Agency, and Whale Studio had discussed about attending school. His attendance wasnât that affected if he filmed it in Korea, but this filming was different.
He and his parents didnât want to pay the school just to let him pass for the next grade, neither did his Uncle agreed to it.
Because the shooting will be in the U.S.A., An Daho went personally to his Elementary School to confirm the number of days he has to attend. After adjusting, the date for his flight to U.S.A. was set.
âYes, I see. Please contact me when itâs decided.â
âOkay, practice hard!â
After hanging up the phone, Seojun printed the music score. Having learning violin for months, his ability to read music score has also improved.
As Seojunâs read the score, his violin-patterned tattoo on his finger moved along the notes of the score.
âWow.â
Seojun exclaimed while reading the score.
It started calm but towards the end it was raging. Having been practicing hard for months, he felt like he became a real violinist.
He wanted to play this song. Seojun, whose hands trembled with excitement, touched the violin case.
âSeojun, letâs eat!â
âYes!â
But it was now time to eat dinner.
âI guess have to play it tomorrow.â
He swallowed his disappointing sigh and went to have dinner.

âThis is Professor Mortonâs song?!â
âYes. He composed the song for the movie.â
âHollywood is really differentâ.
Jung Yi-seulâs eyes sparkled. This was a song by her favorite composer, Benjamin Morton.
Jung Yi-seul read the score and went down. As she read mnu score all her life, she read the song faster than Seojun.
It was a really beautiful song that started calm, intense, and finally shining as Seojun felt.
Jung Yi-seul had been thinking of playing, but in time, she came to her senses. This was a song that Seojun should play, not her.
âShould I play this?â
âYes. You just need to match your hand movements and the timing of the bow. The violinist will really play it.â
âI see. I see. Letâs do it.â
Seojun held the violin on his chin, and guided by Jung Yi-seul.
âBy the way teacher.â
âHm?â
âIf the practice goes well, let me practice the song practice. I really want to play it.â
Jung Yi-seul nodded at Seojunâs words. Itâs only been a few months since she taught violin to him and Seojun was actually doing well on his classes.
Once she taught it to him, he will execute it as she did.
Jung Yi-seul was now accustomed to Seojunâs talent.
It could not even compared to the children she had been tutoring so far. Was Seojun eating something that let skills grows faster? She even thought of that.
However, Jung Yi-seul shook her head quickly. Even after looking through the Internet a little, she could see post about Seojunâs talent.
[Title: Playing soccer with actor Lee Seojun
My friend is a very promising soccer player, and when I called him to play soccer on the weekend, he said he had a previous appointment.
So I asked what he is doing?
He said he would be playing soccer with a famous younger brother. Then, I asked if I can go with him.
After getting permission, I gathered a soccer team members and went to the school playground, and Lee Seojun was there. Everyone didnât even recognize him at first. It was so random. Why did he came here?
Unexpectedly, the first to recognize him was the coach. Hahaha.
But there werenât many people because we didnât inform outsiders, so we got autographs, took pictures, and played games with him.
(Picture with Seojun) (Autograph picture)
Here the evidences that it was really Seojun.]
The top commenter are some of his playmates.
-I really didnât know Iâd see Lee Seojun! I got an autograph too!
-I canât believe I played against Lee Seojun! Seojun was really good at playing soccer.
-Good at acting and soccer⊠What canât he do?
-Did Seojun see soccer as a hobby?
â Choi Si-hyuk is the only soccer player close to Lee Seojun. In Re-investigation he was a cameo with him.
â 9th grader Choi Si-hyuk. Didnât he say before in an interview that he has a friend who plays soccer better than him? Was it Seojun?
Jung Yi-Seul didnât bother herself to read the other comments anymore.
As expected, Lee Seojun was talented for everything.
Violin was not the only place where Lee Seojunâs talent was displayed. Soccer, horseback riding, taekwondo. It was hard to not be jealous if a person was outstanding talent across to manu fields.
Talented in many fields created a character named Lee Seojun.
Jung Yi-seul seemed to have given up hope in face to such a talented person, but recalling that the score was from Benjamin Morton, her depressed mood was suddenly changed to a bright one.
âLetâs do what we were practicing last time again.â
