TL: Change âMana of the Sunâ to Light Mana for easy writing.
The next door has finally open.
âIâve been waiting for this!â
Seojun already read all the books from the other two libraries. Before this happened he would grabbed a thin straw and knocked on the door of the library every night.
He was waiting for when it would open, but now it finally opened.
Seojun opened the newly opened library with his eyes sparkling.
âSeojun is feeling down today.â
âHeâs been like that since morning.â
Seo Eun-chan stopped by Seo Eun-hyeâs house and the first thing he noticed is how Seojun was today.
Seo Eun-chan has been busy acquiring stocks and organizing Cocoa Entertainment on behalf of the president, who has been arrested for crimes such as embezzlement of funds.
He came to inform Seojun, his older sister, and brother-in-law, who contributed funds for the acquisition of Cocoa Entertainment, about the important announcement.
Seojun was lying on the sofa in the living room like slime that had been worn out after playing for a long time.
âWhatâs wrong?â
ââŚâŚNothing.â
âNothing? What?â
âThereâs nothing reallyâŚâ
Seo Eun-chan rolled his eyes at Seojunâs adult like words and gaze at Lee Min-joon. Lee Min-joon smiled bitterly at him and pointed his finger toward the kitchen to discuss Seojunâs problem.
âDirector Ryan came in korea back at the end of December.â
Lee Min-joon slowly told the whole story.
Seo Eun-chan watched the five-year-old boy laying on the sofa with tired eyes. It seems that he was tired from filming his recent practice of the One-Man drama that Ryan Will gave him.
âItâs July now.â
The weather is slowly becoming hotter, and the typhoon will be coming soon in early July.
For the past seven months, Seojun has been practicing his One-Man drama every single day.
From morning till night. Whether at home or in kindergarten, he practiced continuously not wasting a second.
However, after realizing that he had been spending too much on his acting and neglected his daily life, Seojun now went to kindergarten and practiced acting only at a fixed time.
Many video calls with Ryan Will, but all of those failed.
âArgh!â
Seojun was flapping on the sofa screaming.
âIt wasnât even in the new library! I read all the books, but there was noneâŚâ
He used the ability that seems to be âVillainâ, but he failed once again. Ryan even told that he became nicer.
âFrom the day Ryan came, I didnât even do [Elfâs Basic Breathing]!â
He got used to using [Elfâs Basic Breathing] so he was trying hard not to do it unconsciously.
âOh no, I just did it!â
Seojun stopped [Elfâs Basic Breathing], which he just did unconsciously.
When Seojun, who was flapping, fell on the sofa tired, Seo Eun-chan smiled at the sight of him. This was a new side of Seojun, who seemed to be always calm.
âSo these past few days, I saw a lot of things that I didnât know about Seojun.â
Seo Eun-hye scolded Seojun for constantly staying in his room.
He goes to the kindergarten without washing up and even take the script out even at school hours.
Lee Min-Joon scolded his son for thinking about something else while eating snacks.
Recalling the attitude of Seojun during these past few months, Lee Min-joon also smile.
Seojun was getting tired.
Itâs already been seven months. He was confident if it would be a year or 5 years later. No, Seojun shook his head.
Seojun, who was lying on the sofa and look at the sky outside the window and sighed.
At first, he thought he could do it if he didnât use my powers, but it wasnât on par with Ryan Willâs assessment. Still, he said he looked nice.
So he waited for the next library door to open, but there were still no Villain like ability he could use.
âSigh.â
Seojun breathed a heavy sigh as if he had all kinds of problems in the world again.
âBut wouldnât it be better if I practice a little more?â Seojun jumped out of the sofa and headed back to his room.
âPractice. Practice is the only way to live.â

Ryan Will came back to Korea. Jonathan was with him again. The couple and Seojun were very nervous about the sudden appearance of the director. They had a hunch that a big one would pop up today.
Today, Seojun needed to act in front of Ryan Will. He memorized all the lines and his body movements were perfect. However, it was rejected again. Ryan Will, who was watching Seojun sighing, suddenly opened his mouth.
âWeâll start shooting Shadowman 2 in September.â
At the sound of his voice, the coupleâs movement also stopped. Ryan Will, who saw Seojunâs fluctuating eyes, unconsciously touched his face. He was gonna wait a little longer.
ââŚFilming?â
âYes, I canât help it.â
The schedules of the other actors for Shadowman 2 and the released of other Marine films have been scheduled.
Ryan Will has delayed the deadline as much as he can at his discretion. But that was also now impossible.
Seojun opened his mouth.
âThen actingâŚâŚ.â
âFirst of all, letâs film with the acting you did at the audition.â
Seojun was speechless. He has been practicing for 7 months, and now he is saying, âLetâs go with the first one.â Seojun, who had barely moved his mouth, changed his words.
âAre my pictures still going around?â
âEven the FBI canât get rid of it.â
He said that the photos floating on the Internet will be somehow be removed, but it could not be removed from the photos that each individuals own. Even more if itâs printed.
Ryan Will and Seojun shook their heads.
It was because there was a picture of Seojun printed by his own mother at Ryan Willâs main house, and Kim Hee-sung even made a nice frame in Seojunâs house.
Lee Min-Joon and his wife hung them in their rooms.
âCome to think of it, some countries sell your picture as a souvenir, printed in a cup or a fan. Like a talisman that brings you good luck? I heard itâs popular.â
âUncle Ryan!â
Seojun, who was energized by Ryanâs relaxed talk, screamed. After dozens of video calls, the two even shared jokes to each other.
âI mean, it came out so well. Youâre so into acting like an angel because itâs Christmas Eve, isnât?
âDo you think I knew this would happen?â
Seojun pouted his lips. Back then, on Christmas Eve, he was so happy to hear that he used his ability to bless the whole world. He couldnât bear to say no to Ryan.
Now only silence remained. Ryan Will spoke first.
âWhat do you think? Can you get ready?â
âYes.â
Seojun nodded his head. Just this time, letâs use [Bubble Goblinâs Teasing Kim] and next, letâs practice harder.
âIâll try.â
* * *
Jonathan watched Ryan and Seojun talk.
Ryan, who informed him of the filming date, got up from his seat. The couple and Seojun also said goodbye.
âDid he came to Seojunâs house and give acting guidance?â Jonathan, who had thought so, followed him out the door.
âWhere are you going?â
âTo revise the script.â
âI thought Itâs already been fixed.â Jonathan saw Ryan pressing the button on the elevator.
He said he found the perfect actor, and he was happy about it. But know he was adjusting the script for the same actor
âDo you want to make more corrections?â
âThe actors are trying, but Iâll do my best.â
âI think itâs okay to change actors.â Jonathan wanted to say so but shut his mouth. Ryan, who has been filming for years, wouldnât want to hear about it.
He was sure Seojun Lee knows. However, the two did not give up at all.
Jonathan and Ryan got into the elevator. A heavy silence enveloped the two.
* * *
Seojun stood in front of the library. Director Ryan Will visited and gave the him filming schedule of Shadowman 2.
âSigh.â
Now itâs August. Today, Seojun turned around and walked. The Good Life library, which had been shining brightly, gradually disappeared and behind Seojunâs back darkness came.
Not long after walking, he could see several doors. Unlike his original library doors, which had colorful colors, on this one only black doors were visible.
The libraryâs doors were covered with thick black chains.
Seojun approached and touched the door of the library. The black chain did not react, let alone open the door.
This dark library was a collection of bad past lives.
âThe library of Evil Lives.â
There was only one way to unlock the chain and open the door. Seojun must have possess Black Mana.
If Seojun had made the source using [Evilâs Basic Breathing], the evil library here would have opened wide, and a thick white chain would have firmly surrounded the virtuous library.
For the past eight months, this was his daily job, but he was still very nervous.
Seojun breathed out to calm his nervous body. His Light Mana wriggled to see if it was influenced by the evil library.
Seojun sat in front of a vicious library. He closed his eyes.
