Moonjoong separated from his group when he got the chance.

Chulmin gestured for him to stay, but Moonjoong wasnt a fan of such meetings.

He decided to leave while Chulmin was busy talking with the event organizers.

Inside the hall were a lot of students, all holding a packed lunch in their hands.

They had an hour of rest.

Even as they ate, they were practicing their lines.

What passion.

Moonjoong couldnt be more thankful that these kids existed.

Nowadays, there were many other things to watch for entertainment than just plays.

Plays were a very niche genre of entertainment at this point.

Despite that, these kids were acting.

They were enjoying it.

As long as kids like this existed, the art of plays would never disappear.

In that sense, the industry needed hard-working people like Chulmin and talented people like Geunsoo.

“Youre working hard.” “Ah, yes.” The kids looked a little wary of him.

The makeup on their faces looked a little awkward, but their eyes were like that of a pros.

“Is acting fun” Moonjoong wondered for a second if he was coming off as nosy, but the kids answered him surprisingly kindly.

“Its not always fun, but… It feels good to complete a play weve been practicing.” The kids had such a pure smile on their faces.

Moonjoong told them to perform a play they could be satisfied in before taking his leave.

Looking at young kids like this reminded him of someone.

He put on his glasses and started pressing the buttons on his phone.

Soon, a voice came from the other side of the phone.

- Yes, sir.

“Maru” - Yes, thats me.

“I cant find you nearby.” - By that, do you mean… “Im here at the Anyang hall.

Did you leave already” - You were there in the building “I ended up here one way or the other.” - We just came back to the school after cleaning up.

The waiting room is small, so we had to get out quickly.

“I see.” So thats why he couldnt find Maru anywhere.

Moonjoong thought for a brief second before opening his mouth.

“Is your instructor next to you” - Yes.

“Ask her if she minds if I visit, would you” - Youre coming here “In about one or two hours.

If youre there by then.

Its nothing special, just...” Moonjoong looked behind him as he trailed off at his last sentence.

He could still see the students practicing in the hall.

“...I was curious about the person behind that play and I would like to say a few things to you if I have the chance.” - That would be an honor.

“Haha, its nothing.” - Ill ask my instructor in that case, sir.

I want to hear you speak any time, but the instructor… “Ahh, of course.

I just wanted to visit with the instructors permission.” - If the instructor declines, I would like to visit by myself.

I thought I got on your bad side when you didnt contact me.

What a kid.

Moonjoong often found himself wondering if Maru really was just a teenager whenever he talked to the boy.

“Im quite grateful you think of me so highly.” People say you get stubborn as you age.

At the beginning of his career, Moonjoong was definitely quite stubborn.

He was arrogant, too.

He used to think that plays couldnt be successful without him.

That those who didnt cast him were out of their minds.

He thought his fame would continue forever.

He stopped telling himself to be humble at some point and he started thinking that those who tried to become more successful than him were simply foolish.

Around then, he left the industry to take a break.

He was in his mid-fifties then and the year-long break taught him many powerful lessons.

One of which was that relationships established through fame were as fragile as glass.

That was when he decided to take a step back to teach the children.

It wasnt that he lost his passion, he was just embarrassed.

He thought he had everything in his grasp, but it was actually flowing out like sand.

He only realized that people mature within their loneliness when he turned sixty.

The one relieving thing hes realized though was that the person that was Yoon Moonjoong wasnt as big an asshole as he thought himself to be.

The worst thing hes heard about himself from his peers only described his behavior to beexpensive.

Hearing that question could only make him laugh.

After he retired from the industry, people started treating him like some grand old thing.

Frankly, it was pretty embarrassing to be treated with such respect, but ah well.

From then on, the first thing he felt whenever people came to him for something was thankfulness.

- Ill call you back in a few minutes, sir.

“Take your time.

Ill have to stay here for about two more hours anyway.” Moonjoong hung up with a smile.

He knew how difficult and dangerous it was to raise a person, thats why he made it explicit to Junmin that he was willing to teach just a single person.

Teaching someone meant that you were influencing that persons life.

Like it or not, you were changing the persons trajectory in life one way or another.

Taking such an act lightly would be a sin, thats why Moonjoong didnt use the word “teach” a lot.

The most he usually did was to give advice to people based on his experiences.

As he walked around a bit more outside, he heard someone call out to him.

It was Chulmin.

“Whats the main character of the show doing outside” “Main character No way.” “The director and the writer are here.

Talk to them for a bit.” “Will it take long” “No, this is just a simple greeting.

We can talk about the specifics some other time.

We just need to make sure that youll get along.” “You think an oldie like me would care about who I work with” “Is that really something you should say, Mr.

Yoon” The two of them walked back inside with a grin.

* * * “Who” Miso asked again.

“Mr.

Yoon Moonjoong.” “Who is that, a teacher” “No, the actor.” “...Who” “The actor, Mr.

Yoon Moonjoong.” “Just a person with the same name, right” “Dont think so.” “Is it who Im thinking of right now” “Probably.” “And hes coming here right now” “He wanted to know if you were fine with it first...” “Fine with it Of course I am! Of course hes welcome here!” The club members all looked at them weirdly from all the noise Miso was making.

“Hes not coming here right now.

He said hes going to take some time.” “How long” “About two hours” Two hours.

Miso looked around the auditorium.

Was there a place for him to sit No, was this place even good enough for him “He also told me to tell you to not make a scene just for him.” Miso couldnt calm down despite hearing that.

The name Yoon Moonjoong held many meanings to her.

“Do we have any nice chairs here, instead of these wooden ones” “Probably in the faculty room.” “Come with me.” The two of them walked right down to the first floor.

There were quite a few teachers here despite it being a Sunday, they picked a chair that looked pretty comfortable and asked the teacher if they could take it.

They looked troubled at first, but their demeanor changed as soon as they heard the name, Yoon Moonjoong.

“Really Mr.

Moonjoong is coming” The reaction from one of the older female teachers was quite something.

The woman gave them a blanket and even a yokan as a snack.

She asked for a signature as well, prompting a nod from Miso.

“Hold this.” Miso held the blanket and Maru carried the chair.

The club members asked them what was happening when the two of them returned to the fifth floor.

“A heavyweight senior might be coming to visit us.

Guys, get to practice.

Write a list of everything you were unsure about.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

You cant buy experience like this even with money.” The kids understandably looked a little confused even after hearing Moonjoongs name.

Miso was more than ready to explain how amazing this actor was, but she decided to let it pass for now.

“Ugh, Im so nervous.” “Just be yourself, this isnt normal for you.” “Youre the weird ones.

This is the teacher Yoon were talking about.

Ahh, to think Id experience a generational gap with something like this… Its just a single decade, too.” “Youre old.” “Do you want to die, Maru” Maru shrugged.

“How did you get to know teacher Yoon, anyway” “I met him through Mr.

Junmin.

He told me a lot of good things.” “You shouldve told me about that.” Maru saluted her like a soldier and said “Yes, sir.

Any time.” “Whats he like anyway” “Hes a kind person.

He listens seriously in conversation, even to the boring stuff.

Well, Ive only met him once, though.” “Hah, Im nervous.” “I could just tell him to not come.” “Are you kidding me He retired from the industry by the time I started acting.

I had no chance to ever meet him because of that.

I cant believe Im going to meet him like this.” Maru looked very cute today to her, all of a sudden.

Miso grabbed the boys cheeks and shook him sideways.

“Aghh...” “You damn cutie! Youre a little ball of luck.” “It hurts.” “It hurts Ill do it more!” Miso grinned like a child, making the club members stare at the two of them in even more confusion.

* * * “It was an honor to meet you,” the director said, stepping back.

“An honor, he says.” “I feel so embarrassed to hear comments like that nowadays.” “Dont lie to me.

I know you like it.” Their short meeting ended.

The director showed aspiration and the writer showed ambition.

When Moonjoong asked the director if he would still be popular on the screen, the director told him that views werent an absolute metric for success.

The young director had quite the spirit.

“I just hope he doesnt get corrupted by money.” “Thats what we all hope, but to be completely honest, how many people do you see that arent tempted by money People only try new things here when they have nothing to lose.” “Of all the people he couldve chosen, he got someone like me...” “Come on, since when did you have so little confidence You used to go off about how movies couldnt succeed if you werent in it.” “Why do you keep bringing up stuff from when I was immature” “You call 50 immature” Chulmin seemed to be taking a great enjoyment out of teasing him.

Men just never grow up.

“Alright, Ill be taking my leave now,” Moonjoong said.

“Where” “School.” “School” Moonjoong nodded.

“Is it for that kid” “Damn, youre good.

You should make a living off of being a prophet instead of this.” Moonjoong stepped out of the building, leaving Chulmin inside.

When he called Maru a few minutes ago, the boy handed the phone over to the instructor.

The instructor introduced herself as Yang Miso and she told him that she would come to greet him right away.

He said he was fine, but she was so insistent that he had to give in.

Chulmin stepped out of the building behind him with a curious expression.

“Maybe I should go.” “I thought you were busy” “Im interested in this.” “Haha, just take care of the people under you.

Also, Geunsoo.” “Yes, sir.” “Yang Miso was your friend” “Yes.” Moonjoong nodded.

Blue Sky… It turns out to be a nest full of dragons.

It felt like kids from that club were all incredibly talented.

He was kind of excited, actually.

What are these kids like What does Maru look like in practice “Lets go for a drink some time.” “Sure.” Chulmin quickly left the area with Geunsoo.

As he thought, the man had a lot of things to do.

After a few minutes of waiting, a car sped towards him from afar.

A young lady got off the car after stopping in front of him.

“Hello! Im Yang Miso.” The woman had quite the voice.

Moonjoong got into the car with a smile.
