***

The violin teacher that Gray decided to learn from was a calm and intellectual man that he couldn’t see in Downlock.

Seeing the teacher who greeted him warmly at the old apartment entrance, Gray liked him at first sight.

He was a handsome teacher with a soft smile.

“You’re Gray. Nice to meet you. I’m Swalin.”

“Hello, teacher!”

The teacher who lived in a small apartment near the bridge lent Gray a book related to music first.

Seeing the traces of someone reading it, Gray thought it was the teacher’s trace.

“Read that on your day off. The basics are the most important. If you need more books, you can come and borrow more on the day of the lesson.”

“Yes!”

There was no library anywhere in the city, let alone the school, in Downlock. Gray smiled brightly and nodded his head.

“By the way, do you have a violin, Gray? If not, the teacher knows someone…”

“I have a violin!”

Gray said with a wide smile. It was a violin that his precious friend lent him. Swalin nodded his head. He never lost his smiling face.

“Then bring it to the next lesson.”

“Yes! Teacher!”

Swalin smiled brightly as he saw Gray’s smiling face.

“Cut! OK!”

As the director Sara Roth’s voice was heard, Swalin’s actor Wyatt Carter clutched his chest. Cough.

“I can’t do this because of my conscience.”

“Bad teacher! Evil teacher!”

Emily, the assistant director, shouted as if she was high. The staff and Seo-jun, who knew the content by reading the script early, laughed. Wyatt Carter shook his head.

“Isn’t it too unfitting to give this role to a hero?”

The former superhero, Greenwing, said, and director Sara Roth laughed. Wyatt Carter, director Sara Roth, and assistant director Emily were close friends who finished two series together.

“That’s why it’s more believable. The shock of the twist is bigger.”

Wyatt Carter shook his head at the director Sara Roth’s words full of laughter. He felt sorry for the audience who would be hit in the back of the head.

“Wyatt Carter?! Did you film with Greenwing?”

“Wyatt Carter was the teacher.”

Paul, who liked Marine’s hero movie, shouted. Catherine was no different. The two said with a regretful expression.

“Then we won’t have a scene to shoot with him.”

“Yeah. Only Gray comes out with the teacher.”

“Well, there’s nothing we can do.”

If there was no scene to shoot together, there were actors who didn’t meet even if they were in the same movie or drama. The kids who knew that fact quickly changed the topic.

“By the way, the number of subscribers to the YouTube channel increased a lot. It was also posted a lot on the internet. The violinist who bought talent from the devil.”

Catherine giggled. Paul and Seo-jun also laughed.

“I saw it too. What kind of devil, there were people asking how to make a devil summoning circle.”

Paul’s words reminded Seo-jun of the devil summoning circles he knew, and he quickly shook his head. The first ingredient that came to mind was not good.

“But no one knew that it was a movie promotion, when are they going to reveal it?”

“They said this week’s busking was the last one, so maybe they’ll reveal it soon?”

“Really?!”

“I’ve been waiting so much!”

Catherine and Paul, who were smiling brightly at Seo-jun’s words, leaned back on their chairs and sagged. Their faces darkened in an instant.

“Ah, can I do well in today’s shooting?”

“Yeah. It seems really hard…”

“I hope we pass within ten times.”

The attempt of Catherine and Paul to relieve their tension by chatting seemed to fail. Today’s shooting was the first intense emotional scene in the movie.

“If you can’t do it today, you can do it tomorrow. Just relax.”

“I want to, but I’m nervous.”

“Jun. Let’s match it one more time.”

Catherine opened the script she had been clutching in her hand at Paul’s words.

“Yeah.”

Seo-jun nodded his head willingly at his friends’ words.

“Ready! Action!”

Gray was sitting in the park, waiting for his friends. He saw two familiar friends running towards him from afar. Rebecca and George, sunburned by the sun, smiled broadly and handed him a gift.

“Have you been practicing hard?”

“Yes! Oh, I have a teacher now.”

Gray said with a flushed face, shyly. Rebecca and George congratulated him with bright smiles.

“That’s great! We had nothing left to teach you anyway!”

“What do you mean, you’ve been playing for years and you have nothing to teach him?”

“You don’t play the violin, that’s why. Gray is so good!”

They were sometimes jealous of how good he was, but whenever they saw Gray’s face turn pink whenever he played the violin, their jealousy would fly away.

He improved so much that he seemed like a genius violinist with a talent that Rebecca couldn’t even imagine.

“My teacher gave me books, so I read a lot of books.”

“Oh, books! Books, right! There are a lot of books in our school library.”

“You can borrow them during the vacation, too. We should have lent them to you.”

“As expected, the teacher is different.”

Gray was happy as if he had been praised by Rebecca and George’s compliments. Gray, who had nothing to be proud of in Downlock, had something to brag about for the first time in his life. He and his friends thought Swalin, his teacher, was cool.

My teacher is awesome! The best! Amazing!

Rebecca and George smiled softly as they saw Gray’s expression that showed everything. Everyone smiled with a fatherly smile at the cute kids. Benjamin Morton, who had visited the set for the first time in a long time, had a pleased expression.

Jason Moore, who came with Professor Benjamin Morton, had a cold face as usual, as if to say ‘what is that’.

Professor Benjamin Morton recalled the first time he saw Jason Moore. The smart and talented kid shone so much that anyone could notice. He had a hard time making him his disciple, but he didn’t regret it.

“My disciple never bragged about his teacher like that.”

He wondered how cute and lovely he would have been if he had bragged with a smile like that. Suddenly, Benjamin Morton realized that his disciple was too cold even though he was cold.

Gray’s face was happier and brighter than ever. He said he wanted to see his friends because his teacher taught him.

Gray stood up proudly for the first time in his life. He put the small violin he had been practicing with on his shoulder instead of the one that fit his body. The bow touched the strings.

A miserable sound echoed.

Rebecca and George, who had been clapping and listening to their friend’s performance, stiffened. Everything that Rebecca and George had taught him was gone.

Gray’s posture was bad, bad, and bad.

The technique he tried to force was out of tune, and the inappropriate selection of songs made his fingers move fast. He pressed the wrong ones sometimes and missed them completely sometimes.

But Gray was smiling. He was radiant with the happiest expression in the world. He loved the violin. He was happy. He wanted to play more. His head was spinning with Gray’s expression that Rebecca and George liked and the performance that tore his ears.

“What is that?!”

Finally, Rebecca couldn’t stand it and shouted. Gray, who was immersed in the performance, was startled and stopped the bow.

“What, what?”

“Why are you playing that song? And why is your posture like that!”

“Uh… my teacher told me to do this. He said I have to play hard songs to play easy songs easily.”

Gray repeated what his cool teacher Swalin had said. The teacher had explained to Gray in a gentle voice.

Gray understood and quickly learned it. He wanted to explain it to his friends too. As he was about to explain, blaming himself for his poor eloquence,

“What kind of bullshit is that!”

George, who was calm but always shouted when something big happened, yelled.

[(선)The black-and-white effect of the Black-and-White Chameleon is activated.]

Gray, who had been shining in various colors, gradually darkened.

Thump.

Thump.

“…Even if the sound is weird, it will be fine later…”

“No! Gray!”

Gray felt uneasy at Rebecca’s scream. He recalled the words of his kind and cool teacher Swalin. But he was furious at his friends in front of him.

Thump.

Thump.

His heart was beating so fast that it was hard to breathe. Teacher, teacher. Teacher Swalin. He had only met him ten times, but he had given him his heart. Gray couldn’t come to his senses.

“That’s not the posture of a violinist! It’s all messed up!”

Rebecca, who had lent him the violin, sobbed and shouted. George, who realized that it was not a situation to be angry at Gray, spoke calmly. But he couldn’t hide the anger that welled up from deep inside.

“You have to start with easy songs. You move on to harder songs after you get used to them.”

Thump.

Thump.

Gray’s heart, which had slowly turned black, rang throughout his body like an alarm bell. No, the teacher. The teacher…!

“Is that teacher really a violinist!?”

Bang- bang- bang! Like the sound of a judge’s hammer, Rebecca’s voice pierced his ears. Gray’s heart, which had turned black as if it had been burned, fell to the floor.

“Cut, OK!”

At the director Sara Roth’s words, Catherine and Paul, who had been red and blue with anger, sighed. After calming down and catching their breath, they smiled broadly.

They had passed such a difficult scene in one go! They were so nervous and immersed that they felt feverish. They didn’t even see Seo-jun’s acting, which was a problem, but they were happy that they passed it in one go.

“It was worth practicing earlier. I didn’t expect to pass it in one go.”

“Emotional acting is hard. I almost forgot in the middle, but then I thought about it and got really angry. Teacher Swalin, he’s really bad.”

“I know. But the shooting went in order, so it was easier than I thought. I could empathize well. The last movie I shot, I acted the front part and then the back part, it was so hard.”

“But you did well in both.”

“Wow! I got a compliment from Jun!”

Catherine and Paul cheered and rejoiced. Seo-jun also smiled and waited for the next close-up shot.

“Let’s go in one go this time too!”

“Let’s go!”

They started shooting with enthusiasm, but it was only for a moment. The close-up shot was constantly NG, and it finally got OK at the eighth time.

Because Catherine and Paul, who were relieved, witnessed Gray’s despairing expression clearly and stopped talking without knowing it because of his gloomy appearance.

“You’re going to get out of here. Jason.”

Jason Moore, who got up without knowing it at some point, realized that he was grinding his teeth at Professor Benjamin’s words.

“…What are you going to do if you ruin your form by doing that?”

“He’s not even a violinist, what. He did better than I thought.”

Professor Benjamin Morton, who had taught him ‘that thing’, smiled. It was ‘that thing’ that Professor Benjamin Morton had thought of at the words of director Sara Roth, who had ordered a posture and playing method that looked fine on the outside but had no substance.

A strange posture that only violinists would notice and ordinary people wouldn’t.

He had never thought of such a posture before, so he had to think a little, but it was fun.

He saw Seo-jun easily learn it and thought he was a born actor.

“Jun is an actor. And he loves acting.”

“…I know.”

He had a restless expression as if he wanted to run to Seo-jun and fix his posture, but Professor Benjamin nodded.

No matter how much Jason wanted to make Jun a violinist, what would he do if Jun said no. He would just look like a dog chasing a chicken and looking at the roof.

He used a proverb that came out of his mouth and laughed.
