Chapter 174 – Favorite Child (14)
Seojun had been thinking about who he should educate first for a long time.
The first person to receive production is──.
‘Arima Kana.’
Her acting skills are not lacking, but what she needs is character education, not acting guidance.
She left at such a young age that her self-esteem and arrogance skyrocketed, and in later years, no matter how good her acting was, she was no longer called out.
‘Well, she deserves praise for realizing her mistake and correcting it.’
In the end, she realized it herself and became an actor who responded rather than led.
However, wouldn’t it be much better to do well from the beginning so that you can act well and have many people sing to you?
Thus, the Arima Kana rehabilitation project began under Seojun’s leadership.
***
Kana Arima.
Her life was full of luck.
He was born to parents who loved him, realized by chance that he had a talent for acting, made a name for himself as a child actor, and is currently scouted by Lee Seo-jun, the best actor he admires the most, and entered Shinhwa Entertainment. Br〉
And now!
She was very moved to welcome Seojun again.
‘Hehe, you’re handsome.’
A face you never get tired of looking at.
How can a person look so perfect?
Human beings, no matter how pretty and handsome they are, have subtle flaws, so they never feel ‘perfect’.
But Seojun was different.
Perfection itself.
I never get tired of watching it over and over again.
“Kana? “What’s on my face?”
“No? “I was just looking at him because he looked good.”
“I see.”
Seojun lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
As the saying goes, lookism, children also like good-looking and pretty things.
But I never thought it would be like this.
‘You’ve probably seen a lot of pretty and handsome people in the entertainment industry, but you’re like this?’
It’s not a bad feeling.
Pure? It means that he is handsome enough to be recognized by even children.
Anyway, Seojun returned to the main topic.
Hororok─
After passing the coffee, he opened his mouth.
“Kana. Do you understand why I called you for a separate meeting?”
“Uh, I don’t know.”
“Okay. That could be possible.”
Tak─
He put down his glass and continued.
“First of all, to get to the point, I will personally educate you from now on.”
“Yes?! Really?!”
Jump up!
Kana stood up from her seat.
She was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth.
Seojun smiled lightly at that cute appearance and nodded his head.
“Wow!”
Then she started running around.
Perhaps because she was still a child, she still had an innocent appearance.
“Go to sleep, calm down and sit down.”
“Yes!”
“First, I’m telling you this in advance. Acting guidance will not be provided until the initial training is completed.”
“… Yes?”
Cana tilts her head.
She thought she was going to get acting instruction, but that wasn’t it?
“The education I will give Kana is character education.”
“… Uh. “What is character education?”
I think it was a bit difficult for her to understand because she was still young.
Seojun explained it in an easy-to-understand manner.
“… Uh, so you’re teaching us etiquette?”
“Hmm. “It’s similar.”
“I will!”
Cana nodded her head right away.
For her, her scales were tipped more toward her private tutoring with Seojun than to the content of her education.
“Good. So, shall we try starting today?”
Mate!
Seojun smiled and clapped his hands.
***
“Hmm.”
“Why are you doing this, Director?”
Drama filming location.
As the director smoothed his chin and frowned, the writer next to him asked.
“Ah. It’s no different. That kid─.”
“Miss Kana Arima?”
“Oh, yes.”
“Why that child?”
“Hasn’t something become nicer these days?”
“Aha. “I think I know what you mean.”
The artist drew a happy smile.
Recently, Arima Kana has changed.
That is not negatively, but in a very positive way.
“What can I say? “She was a bit rude.”
“Haha. I agree.”
Director, writer, etc.
He behaved condescendingly toward those who needed to look good, but he behaved quite rudely toward those who did not——general staff and employees.
If she wasn’t a child, she would get all kinds of abuse.
‘In fact, the staff who disliked the child even cursed behind the child’s back.’
And most of those children are not called to the filming set at some point, so they are forgotten and end up retiring from the entertainment industry.
But now Kana is different.
Perhaps through rehabilitation, Kana Arima has become a polite child who treats everyone kindly.
‘Can a person suddenly change like this?’
At most, it was less than a month.
It was truly a quick and surprising change.
But it was actually better.
Because at least there was no one who disliked polite and kind children.
Most people who dislike children do not dislike ‘children’ themselves, but just dislike the ‘nuisance’ that is unique to children.
With that gone, Cana was enough to be loved by everyone.
She said, “She said she was affiliated with Shinhwa Entertainment. Didn’t she get some kind of education there?”
“Ah. After listening to it, it makes sense. “I don’t know if it’s anywhere else, but if it’s that myth, it might be possible.”
“Haha, if that’s true, I’d like to leave my daughter in charge too. “Maybe it’s because she’s going through puberty these days, but her personality is a bit ──.”
Seojun’s education was already showing results.
Kana Arima felt that.
These days, the staff on site have become kinder to me.
She immediately realized why their reactions had changed.
It’s all thanks to Seojun.
The character education she received from him shined through, and unlike her original counterpart, her arrogant personality calmed down, and she was able to treat people with kindness.
“… Hehe. After all, it’s Teacher Seojun.”
Kana blushed.
At first, she did it because of Seojun’s education, which she admired, but the recognition she received from those around her and the praise she received from Seojun himself was like a drug to her.
‘Because mom and dad are not interested in me…’
To be precise, he treated her not as her own ‘daughter’ Kana Arima, but as Kana Arima, her ‘actress’.
But Seojun was different.
She saw her for who she was, not just her actor or anything else.
For her, who was hungry for her love and attention, what Seojun gave her was the sweetest fruit of all.
‘I like being praised.’
Kana remembered.
The feeling of Seojun’s warm hands caressing his head.
It was an incredibly kind kindness.
But there were also complaints.
‘Boo. ‘Only let me guide you.’
Kana puffed out her cheeks.
She wasn’t the only one that Seojun decided to personally guide.
The children she scouted around the same time as her.
Seojun was giving them the same attention as Kana!
Most children had a strong desire to be exclusive, and Kana Arima was no different.
Jealousy creeped up, but she soon put it away.
‘Hey, I’m still the most special!’
The other children are just taking their first steps.
She was the only one working properly in her industry and making money.
In other words, she is special.
The title of super genius child actor who cries in 10 seconds was not earned for free.
‘Good! I need to work harder and receive praise from Teacher Seojun!’
Kana clenched her fern-like fists.
***
‘Kana’s character education is effective.’
Seojun laughed after receiving the report.
Perhaps because I was still young, I absorbed everything they taught me.
Well, Kana’s ability to absorb may be a big factor in this, but her nature itself is good.
If she were a child who had no answers at all, she would have ignored this kind of education.
‘Then, let’s start educating another child.’
Seojun stood up with a smile on his face.
The next turn has already been decided.
A promising actress who will later make a name for herself as a genius actress, and a heroine who dominates her mid- to late-aughts popularity in the work “My Favorite Child.”
Akane Kurokawa.
───She is the next batter.
Arima Kana
