“Why don’t we have a meal together since we’re here?”

At Milan Chellen’s suggestion, the actors and director Jeffrey moved to a nearby restaurant as it was almost dinner time.

The table was full of food and they all started to eat while chatting about various things.

Kim Jong-ho, who was a bit nervous to meet the actors for the first time, also relaxed and joined the conversation with a smile.

“The final cut will be a hit for sure.”

“I hope so.”

Milan Chellen nodded at Vanessa Olsen’s words.

“When do you think it will be released?”

At Davis Garrett’s question, everyone’s eyes turned to director Jeffrey.

This kind of schedule would be better known by the planning team leader, but both Bearound and Plus+ were busy with meetings because of the director’s cut, which was different from the final cut that everyone was satisfied with.

The planning team leader’s face, who seemed to have given up on the people’s cheers, came to Seo-jun’s mind and he smiled softly.

“We’re planning for around summer.”

Director Jeffrey answered, having heard from the planning team leader beforehand.

At his words, not only Seo-jun but also the actors looked surprised.

“That’s fast. I thought it would be autumn at least...”

“You saw the edited version earlier, but apart from a few places that need to be fixed, it’s almost done. It was faster than expected.”

Thanks to their efforts on the set, they were able to minimize the CG work and hire more people for the CG work thanks to Bearound’s financial power.

“I wonder how well it will do.”

“The final cut will be a hit, but...”

‘As for the Director’s Cut...’

Without saying anything, the actors and director exchanged awkward looks and eventually burst into laughter.

Seo-jun returned to Korea and headed to the district office the next day.

The civil servant who met Seo-jun again took out Seo-jun’s ID card from among the ones that had been made.

He could find it easily by looking at the handsome photo.

Meanwhile, his colleague next to him, who had been poked in the ribs by the civil servant (it was a predetermined signal), looked at Seo-jun in a black hat with starry eyes.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you.”

Seo-jun bowed and went outside.

He got into the car that was parked in the parking lot.

He came by his own car because he thought it would attract attention if he parked a big car in front of the district office.

Ahn Da Ho, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, smiled at Seo-jun who sat in the passenger seat.

“Did you get it?”

“Yes. Here it is.”

Seo-jun, who seemed a bit excited with his cheeks flushed, handed over his ID card with a photo taken at Sunset Studio.

Ahn Da Ho looked at Seo-jun’s ID card back and forth while Seo-jun fastened his seat belt.

‘The photo came out well.’

It was good that he took it at the studio.

Ahn Da Ho handed back Seo-jun’s ID card and started the car.

“I’m starting to feel that you’re becoming an adult soon.”

“Haha. Really?”

When did he grow up so much?

Ahn Da Ho felt both happy and sad that the little actor who led him to the entertainment industry had grown up so well.

‘I wonder if he’s amazed by his own ID card.’

He looked at Seo-jun who was examining his ID card here and there. But in Ahn Da Ho’s eyes, he still looked like a young child.

Early June.

Bearound started to promote [Survivors].

Articles about [Survivors] poured out from not only America and Korea but also all over the world.

[Bearound, ‘Survivors’ scheduled to be released in July!]

[Davis Garrett x Lee Seo-jun! ‘Survivors’ to be released in July!]

[Lee Seo-jun x Kim Jong-ho! ‘Survivors’ to be released simultaneously worldwide!]

=Lee Seo-jun, Kim Jong-ho went there, so why not Lee Ji-seok, Lee Da-jin, Park Do-hoon?

=It’s all thanks to Lee Seo-jun!

-But there are many actors who don’t make it to the final cut even after filming.

=22 Or they appear very briefly.

And the ratings went up accordingly, so there was no reason for the broadcasters to refuse.

-I don’t have to worry about Korean acting with Kim Jong-ho (relieved)

=222 I like that there’s Korean, but I hate it when the pronunciation is so bad that even Koreans can’t understand.

=333 Finally, I can hear some proper Korean!

-I wish they showed some filming scenes too.

=You have to watch that in the theater.

-I’m waiting for Survivors!!

=It’s perfect for summer vacation and multiple viewings!

And in mid-July.

A few days before the start of summer vacation, Bearound’s [Survivors] was released.

They took their final exams early,

“Yu-jung. What about your report?”

“...It’s okay. It’s due in two days.”

...and headed to the movie theater to enjoy their vacation. Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na had excited faces.

There were a lot of people because it was the first day of release, or because it was Lee Seo-jun and Kim Jong-ho’s movie.

It was lucky that they booked in advance.

Lim Ye-na read articles about [Survivors] on her phone. She cared about every article and comment because her actor was in the movie.

[Survivors, pre-sale rate, 80.7%!]

[Survivors, released today! What is the opening score?]

[The movies that were postponed because of Survivors!]

“Some movies were postponed.”

“I would postpone them as much as I could too.”

Lim Ye-na read the article further.

“They say that Survivors already released the making film, so if there’s no big issue, other movies might be released in two weeks?”

“Really?”

[Kim Jong-ho’s first Hollywood debut! How is it?!]

[Father and son, Kim Jong-ho x Lee Seo-jun’s chemistry?!]

“What chemistry? You can tell by just looking at the poster. They already confirmed their chemistry as Taejong and Seongnyeong.”

“Right.”

Lim Ye-na said proudly, looking at the eye-catching article.

Song Yu-jung also nodded and carefully picked up one of the posters of [Survivors].

It was a shopping mall that collapsed in the background, and five actors were standing with their backs turned.

They all looked terrible.

“I can guess what kind of story it is, but...”

At Song Yu-jung’s words, Lim Ye-na shrugged.

Even if they didn’t want to know the story, anyone who had watched a lot of movies or dramas could guess how it would unfold with some small pieces of information.

A collapsed shopping mall.

An extra father and a main character son.

“I can’t watch it without tears.”

“I brought tissues.”

Lim Ye-na smiled and handed Song Yu-jung a tissue from her bag after hearing her words.

“Wow, you’re well prepared.”

“I always carry tissues with me since I cry so much watching Seo-jun’s movies. And this one is a disaster movie, so I think I’ll cry even more.”

Song Yu-jung nodded in agreement and put the tissue in her bag.

“Do you think the previous show is over yet?”

“There’s still some time left. But it’s a shame. The exit of this theater is on the other side, so we won’t be able to see the reactions of the people who watched it.”

“I like watching without knowing anything. Oh, I should avoid the internet too.”

Then they had to wait.

Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na chatted while looking at Seo-jun’s profile picture that they had downloaded and set as their phone wallpaper.

They sometimes argued about which Seo-jun was the coolest, but it had been two months since the profile picture was released.

After a fierce fight, Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na decided to respect each other’s preferences.

“My taste is Seo-jun.”

“Seo-jun is cool no matter what he looks like.”

The fans of actor Lee Seo-jun, Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na smiled at each other.

A few moments later.

“Screen 6! Those who are going to watch Survivors, please enter!”

The staff shouted.

The people who were scattered around the theater checked the location of screen 6 and got up from their seats. Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na also got up and headed to the theater.

“Here it is.”

“We have a good view!”

Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na sat down with excited faces and waited for the theater to darken.

Soon the theater darkened and ads started to play on the screen.

Song Yu-jung and Lim Ye-na, as well as the other audience members, checked the location of the emergency exits and escape routes on the screen as usual.

And then on the center of the screen.

The logo of Bearound, the production company, appeared.
