Lee Minjun moved the skeleton doll, and Seo Jun picked up a small dog doll.
According to Kim Heesang, it was the wolf version of a werewolf doll that transforms into a human when it sees a full moon.
Seo Eunhye and Lee Minjun sighed as they saw the sharp eyes and the ferocious mouth with gleaming teeth, but Seo Jun was delighted after hearing Kim Heesang's explanation. He said he would give them the human version next time.
What a wonderful uncle he was.
“Uuuu.”
“Ouch. Yeah, I am the King of Skeletons, King Lich, Edmund!”
In response to Seo Jun's whining, Lee Minjun awkwardly read the lines from the paper and moved the skeleton doll.
It wasn't usually like this, but every time he played with Seo Jun using monster dolls, Seo Jun reacted with a serious face. These were the lines Kim Heesang, Seo Jun's best playmate, had written for him.
- Seo Jun likes realistic things, right?
- Is this... realistic?
- Look! Seo Jun!
- Uu?
- I am the cursed dragon, Black Dragon, and I will destroy the world! Waaaaa!
- Aaaaaaaah!
Lee Minjun thought it was the first time Seo Jun had seen this and looked at the paper again.
The paper was filled with lines that he found hard to say. As Lee Minjun tried to put the paper down, Seo Jun grabbed his father's hand.
‘Daddy.’
Seeing his son's sparkling eyes, Lee Minjun sighed and unfolded the paper again.
“My minions, follow my... command.”
“Uuuu!”
“Oh, Seo Jun's father. Our son wants you to put more emotion into it.”
Sitting on the sofa and drinking tea, Seo Eunhye giggled. Lee Minjun swept his hand over his face.
“Seo Jun's mother. Your son really likes this.”
“He loves it when he plays with Heesang too.”
“Uoo!”
“I get it. I get it. Don't talk to Mom and just play, right?”
How did he know his son's heart so well? Seo Jun grinned and picked up the werewolf-wolf version doll. The wolf doll's blue fur shimmered, probably due to some treatment.
A Lich King and a werewolf!
The Lich King was bound to win, but the baby's game was different. After awkwardly delivering a few lines and making the skeleton doll clash with Seo Jun's wolf doll, the father said,
“Aaaah! I lost!”
Seo Jun's werewolf had won.
Always winning, this game was what the baby really enjoyed. Seo Eunhye picked up the excited Seo Jun and patted his belly to calm him down.
“Huhuhu.”
“Oh, Seo Jun won!”
“Seo Jun is amazing!”
Whether to calm him down or excite him further, Seo Jun's arms and legs flailed in the air at his parents' words.
Hearing his parents' praise, his body jolted and his heart raced. Though he couldn't speak, Seo Jun shouted loudly in his mind.
“Dadadada!”
‘I'm awesome! I'm amazing!’
The baby's instinct overpowered Seo Jun's rationality. After a while, as Seo Eunhye continued to play with her son, she mentioned the Nertube channel that Minah's mom had suggested.
“So, what about uploading the video to Nertube...?”
“Hmm.”
“But if Seo Jun grows up and asks why we uploaded such things... What should we do?”
Worried mother, Seo Eunhye, made Lee Minjun laugh.
“It's just a video from when he was a baby. By the time he asks such questions, it will probably be forgotten.”
“But still...”
“I think...”
Lee Minjun recalled his conversation with Kim Heesang.
Seeing Seo Jun waving his arms, Kim Heesang had suggested that he might like cameras and had the potential to be an actor.
Lee Minjun also thought this might be the case.
“Doesn't Seo Jun like being filmed?”
“Seo Jun?”
“Look. He usually eats quietly, but when we film him, he waves his arms and really enjoys it.”
‘[Fairy Sparkle] requires you to wave your arms. Dad.’
Seo Jun thought as he listened to Lee Minjun. But it wasn't a bad approach. Seo Jun was still a baby who could only speak and express himself a little.
‘To become a superstar, it's good to be famous from a young age!’
If Seo Jun liked cameras and his parents guided him in that direction, it would be a great thing. Seo Jun chuckled.
Suddenly, Seo Eunhye patted the laughing Seo Jun and recalled two weeks ago. She remembered Seo Jun eating happily while waving his arms.
Indeed, that was the case. The first time Seo Jun saw a camera, he was eating.
“But did the baby know and like the camera?”
The baby, munching on his clenched fists, looked at Seo Eunhye and smiled brightly.
Lee Minjun shrugged.
“He was the one who whined that my acting wasn't smooth.”
“Oh.”
“Oh.”
At Seo Eunhye's exclamation, Lee Minjun realized what he had said. Seo Eunhye looked at him in disbelief.
“Why are you the one saying and being surprised?”
“Well, I said it without thinking... Our son seems really amazing.”
Lee Minjun said in an admiring tone.
“How did he know my acting was awkward?”
“Maybe because your voice wasn't natural and kept breaking?”
“True, he can't understand words yet.”
Lee Minjun nodded. Seo Eunhye lifted Seo Jun and made eye contact. Seo Jun smiled, thinking, ‘I understand everything.’
“Our son. Isn't he a genius? He really seems like a genius.”
“Seven months, no, now eight months! How are other eight-month-old babies?”
“I don't know.”
In response to Lee Minjun's question, Seo Eunhye, holding the giggling Seo Jun, answered.
“Our Seo Jun grows faster. The hospital said he's in the top few percent. There are almost no peers to compare him with.”
“Oh! Seo Jun is amazing!”
The couple's gaze turned to their son. Seo Jun pretended to know nothing and munched on his fists.
“Then, should we really... teach him acting?”
“Acting...”
Images of baby and child actors from dramas and movies flashed through Seo Eunhye and Lee Minjun's minds. They also thought of actors who successfully transitioned from child to adult roles.
But the faces of actors who couldn't escape their child actor image and eventually quit acting also came to mind.
The parents' worries deepened. Seo Jun, in Seo Eunhye's arms, waved his arms and made a ‘dadadada’ sound.
‘Mom and Dad, that's not the important thing right now!’
“Oh, right, that's not the issue.”
Seo Eunhye, finally coming to her senses, said. Thinking about acting and becoming an actor was too premature. At least they needed to wait until their child could express himself.
“Then, is it okay to upload to Nertube?”
“Sure. I agree. Jiyeon's mother said she suffered because Jiyeon didn't eat. If it helps others, it's a good thing.”
“Right. Got it. I'll upload it to Nertube!”
Seo Eunhye handed Seo Jun to his father and picked up her smartphone to contact Minah's mom.
<Minah!
<After discussing with my husband, it seems okay to upload to Nertube!
>Really?
>Then create an account in your name and upload it!
<My name? Can't we just upload it to your channel?
>It's just that you don't know, but other kids watch videos several times a day!
>When you add up all the views, it's really a lot!
>Other moms will definitely watch, so you can apply for revenue generation and add ads to earn money!
>Buy Seo Jun some yummy treats!
“Is that true?”
At Seo Eunhye's words, Lee Minjun, who was watching the Bananatalk screen with her, nodded.
The baby, having played enough, fell asleep. His eyes closed naturally. The parents' voices lowered as they noticed.
“I didn't think about ads. It seems like a good idea. We can use the money for Seo Jun's education. I want to give him everything he wants.”
At Lee Minjun's words, Seo Eunhye thought for a moment. She also wanted to give Seo Jun everything he wanted.
But it was just a video of a baby eating. With such a video.
“Will it really get that many views?”
she wondered.
“Or maybe, Seo Jun's allowance?”
Lee Minjun's light joke made Seo Eunhye laugh.
“Right. We're not doing it to make a lot of money.”
Seo Eunhye came out of the room with her laptop and went to the living room. She logged into Nertube and quickly created a channel.
“What should we name the channel?”
Ping! Ping!
Just then, a Bananatalk message came from Nertube senior, Minah's mom.
>Forgot to mention, the title and channel name should be in English and Korean!
<English?
>My channel has English-speaking moms too!
>It's not just Korean babies who don't eat; foreign kids don't eat either.
>If the title is in Korean, no one will find it!
“English...”
At Minah's mom's message, the couple's thoughts deepened. Lee Minjun, patting Seo Jun's back, said,
“Our son really doesn't fuss and sleeps well.”
Though it was an unexpected comment, the couple didn't find it strange. They were happy about even the small strengths of their baby.
“He's really a good boy.”
“Exactly. Our son is the best!”
“Wait, think of a channel name, Seo Jun's father!”
At Seo Eunhye's scolding, Lee Minjun laughed.
“Let's keep it simple. We're only uploading two videos anyway.”
“That's true. Then, Seo? Se? Jun?”
“Seo (seo) sounds a bit strange, so Jun (jun)?”
Thus, the channel name was decided.
[JUN]
“Is it too simple?”
Seo Eunhye tilted her head and then uploaded the video with a ‘Hey!’ It didn't seem like a better name would come to mind.
“What about the video title?”
“Just write ‘Baby Food Version’ and ‘Baby Formula Version.’ Minah's mom will explain it.”
Minah's mom would introduce Seo Jun's video first.
“Okay?”
At Lee Minjun's words, Seo Eunhye, excited, uploaded the video.
[Baby Food Version]
[Baby Formula Version]
Seo Eunhye sent a Bananatalk message to Minah's mom.
<Minah!
Lee Minjun, holding Seo Jun, gently swayed him and headed to the bedroom. A lullaby-like murmur came from his lips.
“Our Seo Jun will become super famous! Then we can buy a car for Dad~ a car for Mom~ and a house~”
“Haha!”
At Lee Minjun's words, Seo Eunhye, who was sending a message, burst out laughing. He also smiled at her laughter. Seo Eunhye chimed in with his tone.
“Yeah. We can buy a car for Seo Jun~ and toys~”
“And go on trips~”
<Video uploaded!
<The channel name is [JUN], and the videos are the same as the ones I sent you before! Baby Food Version and Baby Formula Version.
>Really, thank you! I'll definitely promote it!
On a chilly autumn night,
In a small apartment in Korea, a video that would later be chosen by parents worldwide as the number one must-watch video for raising a baby was uploaded.
