Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 20

The sun rose. 

The kitchen was bustling since morning.

No, cook it a little more!

Isnt that too big?

Teacher, can Seo-jun eat this?

Seo-jun, who was building blocks with Choi Si-yoon, kept looking at the kitchen.

Uncle Chan was near the sofa, and the other three members and Dr. Kim Hwa-ryeon were chatting loudly in the kitchen.

Seo-jun pouted his lips. What are they doing without me? Is it fun?

Seo-jun! Look at this. Its very high!

Choi Si-yoon tried hard to divert Seo-juns attention. He was in charge of taking care of Seo-jun until everything was ready.

Choi Si-yoon stacked wooden blocks with his unique sense of balance. Seo-juns head turned to the blocks that Choi Si-yoon had built.

Hehe!

Its very high!

A tower of wooden blocks stood a little far away from Seo-jun.

Seo-jun crawled towards it, and Choi Si-yoon quickly blocked him.

He had carefully stacked them one by one, but it would be a big accident if they collapsed and hit Seo-jun.

Seo, Seo-jun. Lets look from here. Dont touch it!

Uwooong!

Seo-jun went to the left, and Choi Si-yoon quickly twisted his body to the left. Seo-jun went to the right, and Choi Si-yoon quickly moved to the right.

Huh? Is this a game? Peekaboo?

Aaang!

Ill accept your challenge!

Seo-jun pretended to go to the left, then crawled to the right. Choi Si-yoon was a beat late for Seo-juns fake.

Seo-jun?!

Seo-jun, who was crawling hard to the right, stopped at Choi Si-yoons scream.

He turned his head and smiled brightly at Choi Si-yoon, then grabbed the drawer next to the block and put strength in both hands.

He put strength in his butt, legs, and feet, and stood up on the spot.

Waaaa!

The wooden block tower was taller than Seo-jun who stood up. Seo-jun had to look up to see it.

Choi Si-yoon, who didnt know what to do, sighed with relief and hugged Seo-jun who stood up.

Did you want to stand up?

Uuung!

Then, say it!

Seo-jun turned his head and looked at Choi Si-yoon with a sour expression. Choi Si-yoon coughed.

Oh right, he cant even say mom and dad yet?

Now, Seo-jun. Shall we stack it higher?

Aaaa!

Choi Si-yoon put a block on top of the wooden block first. The wooden block settled securely on the top.

Next, lets have Seo-jun try.

Choi Si-yoon handed Seo-jun the smallest square-shaped block.

Seo-jun stared at the small block, then reached out his hand to the block tower. Choi Si-yoon, who was holding Seo-jun, walked slowly to the front of the block tower.

Uoo.

Seo-jun slowly reached out his hand. He placed his tiny hand on the wooden block and slowly spread his fingers.

The wooden block fell from his palm. The block wobbled on top of the tower.

Seo-jun and Choi Si-yoon held their breath and waited for the block to stop.

Wow! Seo-jun made the highest tower!

Woahhh!

The block that seemed to fall any moment stopped. It was half-sticking out from the top of the tower that Choi Ki-yoon had neatly stacked, so it didnt look very cool, but it was amazing that he had put it there.

Seo-jun is a genius!

Hehehe!

Choi Si-yoon lifted Seo-jun up in his arms. Seo-jun giggled, and Hwang Ye-jun and Kevin came out of the kitchen.

Hwang Ye-jun was sweating a little and Kevin had a knife in one hand.

Hyung! Knife! Knife!

Oh, Sorry!

Choi Si-yoon quickly turned Seo-juns gaze and shouted, and Kevin hurried back in.

Park Seo-jin must have heard Choi Si-yoons scream, as he scolded Kevin.

Hwang Ye-jun wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief. As he approached, Choi Si-yoon backed away with Seo-jun in his arms. Hwang Ye-jun opened his eyes wide.

What? Why are you avoiding me?

Seo-jun-ah. That hyung is dirty. Dirty.

I cleaned up. The handkerchief is clean too!

Eee! Eeng!

Yeah. Dirty!

Seo-jun laughed at Hwang Ye-juns pitiful expression. He was a fun hyung to tease.

Hurry up and wash up.

Okay.

Hwang Ye-jun quickly washed his face in the bathroom.

Kevin also came out of the living room with a pale face, having heard Park Seo-jins nagging about putting the knife away properly.

So what? What made you laugh so much, Seo-jun-ah?

Ooahh! Woong!

Seo-jun pointed to the wooden block tower with his hand. The two men looked at the tower. Hwang Ye-jun said.

Why is this so crooked? Did you put it wrong?

Thats right. Only this one is like that.

Hwang Ye-jun reached out his hand to straighten the wooden block that was stacked crookedly by itself.

No! Hyung!

Aaahh!!

Choi Si-yoon and Seo-jun screamed. The scream was louder than before, and Park Seo-jin and Kim Hwa-ryeon came out of the kitchen. Seo Eun-chan, who had been filming in the living room, chuckled.

Hwang Ye-jun stopped his hand, startled by the loud noise. It was just before he touched the wooden block on top.

Hwang Ye-juns eyes rolled. Park Seo-jin and Kim Hwa-ryeon wondered what was going on. Kevin, who was quick-witted, stepped back.

Why? Why? What did I do wrong?

Thats Seo-juns tower! Seo-jun worked so hard to build it!

Abubu! Abububub!

Seo-jun talked a lot. His round eyes glared sharply at Hwang Ye-jun.

I built it! I built it coolly!

Hwang Yejun hid his hand behind his back in surprise at Choi Siyoons words. Park Seojin and Kim Hwayeon glared at him with a look that said, How dare you!

Oh, my. Seo-jun, Im sorry. I didnt know!

Abubup! Abububu!

I was standing here, raising my hand like this!

Right. I was wrong!

Hwang Yejun didnt know what to do with Seo-juns most intense reaction so far. Kevin clasped his hands politely in front of him. He almost ended up like Hwang Yejun.

Come on, Seo-jun. Forgive Yejun hyung. Hes sorry. And luckily, he didnt touch the blocks, right?

At Park Seojins words, Seo-jun looked at Hwang Yejun, who was begging in front of him. Hwang Yejun was pleading so hard that his palms were hot.

What can I do? Ill let it go!

Ooong!

Oh, thank you. Thank you!

Seo-jun spread his arms. Hwang Yejun hugged him with a smile.

Hwang Yejun shook Seo-jun gently in his arms and laughed loudly. Seo-jun also enjoyed being in Hwang Yejuns embrace and giggled.

Okay, thats enough. Seo-jun might get dizzy.

Seoeunchan intervened. Hwang Yejun, who was shaking Seo-jun hard, came to his senses and stopped. Seo-jun hit Hwang Yejuns arm, asking for more.

Seo-jun, lets eat. Food.

At Park Seojins words, Seo-juns head turned quickly. Oh, thats right. It was almost time to eat. He was a little hungry.

Ooong!

We prepared a special meal for Seo-jun!

They all headed to the kitchen.

On the table, there were bowls of finely chopped ingredients. Park Seojin added the opinion of Dr. Kim Hwayeon to the ingredients he had researched.

There were beef broth and minced beef, spinach, seaweed, enoki mushrooms, potatoes, egg yolks, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and yellowtail. All kinds of ingredients were neatly cut.

Hwang Yejun, who had seated Seo-jun in a baby chair, wiped his sweat.

It was hard to make beef broth. I had to boil sweet potatoes and pumpkins and blanch the vegetables.

Cutting them was hard, too.

Kevin nodded at Park Seojins words. Choi Siyoon, who didnt know the situation because he was playing with Seo-jun, was surprised to see the ingredients on the table.

Are you going to use all of this? Are you planning to make enough for several days?

No. Were going to make what Seo-jun wants to eat from here. We have to decide quickly if we want to boil it in a pot and make porridge.

Brown Blacks eyes turned to the clock. They were all anxious about the approaching time to feed Seo-jun.

Hwang Yejun looked at the camera that Seoeunchan was holding and said.

Hello, viewers. Were going to start making baby food with Jun! Todays baby food will be made with the ingredients on this table. The method is random!

Brown Black clapped their hands and Seo-jun clapped his hands, too.

Im looking forward to seeing how delicious the baby food will be! By the way, well try it first and then feed it to Seo-jun if the doctor approves the combination of ingredients. Seo-juns taste is safe!

Please let it be a delicious baby food.

Kevin prayed at Hwang Yejuns last words. Seo-juns taste might be safe, but what about ours? Brown Blacks eyes became sad.

Well, shall we start now?

Park Seojin carefully picked up Seo-jun, who was sitting in a baby chair, and looked him in the eye.

Seo-jun.

Hmm?

Pick something that looks delicious here. What do you think looks good?

Seo-juns gaze followed where Park Seo-jin was pointing. There were colorful things on the plates.

Huh?

Well?

What would be tasty? Seo-jun wondered. He first chose the ingredients that he often ate in his baby food. Seo-jun pointed at the seasoned beef.

You picked beef first!

Meat is delicious.

Huh? Choi Si-yoon tilted his head. Hwang Ye-jun, who was broadcasting live with Kevin, whispered. Whats wrong?

If this is the first one, how many times does Seo-jun pick?

Uh I dont know.

They didnt decide that.

Before Choi Si-yoon and Hwang Ye-jun could panic, Seo-jun pointed at the plates with his fingers.

This one is yellow, so it must be tasty. This one is green, so it might be good! This one is white. It looks delicious! This one, this one, this one!

Seo-jun didnt know what the original ingredients were because they were chopped too finely, so he chose the ones that looked delicious without any hesitation.

You picked egg yolk, spinach, mushroom, wait, how many are you picking? Seo-jun!

Kyaaah!

I picked them all!

Oh. A sigh came out of Brown Blacks mouth. Seo-jun smiled proudly. He picked them all!

He really picked everything

Brown Black couldnt continue their words at Seo-juns mischief of choosing all the ingredients on the table.

Hehehe.

Seo-jun, tell me honestly. You know were going to eat this, right? You did this on purpose, right?

This cant be delicious, hyungs.

Hwang Ye-jun whined in front of Seo-jun, who was in Park Seo-jins arms.

Choi Si-yoon rubbed his forehead as he checked the ingredients roughly. Kim Hwa-ryeon, who was holding the camera from afar, made an X sign with her arms.

Yes. Thats right. The baby food that the doctor also opposed!

We have to eat this, right?

Is this a punishment food?

Brown Black was disappointed, but they put Seo-jun in a baby chair and brought a pot.

We can use the leftovers as Seo-juns baby food ingredients, so lets just put them in.

Okay.

They all picked up a spoon with a listless voice and put one spoonful of ingredients into the pot.

Ugh. I dont like mushrooms

Good for you. You can fix your picky eating with this opportunity.

How much broth should we put in?

Maybe itll be delicious if we season it well?

Hwang Ye-jun put a spoonful of mushrooms in the pot with a disgusted face. Then, all the ingredients went into the pot.

Okay. Now lets boil it.

Were going to eat this, so can we add some salt

Seo Eun-chan swung his arm at Choi Si-yoons words. Thats not allowed! Its baby food!

It wont work, right?

It wont work

Hwang Yejun turned on the gas. Bubbling. He heated up the baby food that Seo Eunhye had prepared while Park Seojin was watching.

Seo-jun, lets eat this delicious and safe baby food.

Uh-uh-uh?

Didnt you want to eat that? I picked it because it was pretty. You dont want me to eat it?

Ding-dong- As usual, the alarm rang and the baby food went into Seo-juns mouth.

Yum! Delicious! Seo-jun was enjoying his moms baby food when the gas stove switch turned off. Lee Seo-juns random baby food was ready.

Its done.

Is this Seo-juns pick of baby food?

Theres no such thing as a pick. Everything went in.

Oh. The colorful colors, well

Brown Blacks face looked bad as he peered into the pot.

Seo Eunchan shoved the camera into the pot. Hmm. Ill have to mosaic this later.

What is this? The ingredients were fine, but why is it this color?

Thats because everything went in.

Are you really going to eat this?

Its a waste not to.

Brown Black all picked up their spoons. Hwang Yejun tried to eat a sparrows tear, but Park Seojin kindly scooped up a full spoon for him.

Do we eat it when we count to three?

Yes.

Okay.

Brown Black swallowed their saliva. Seo-jun, who was holding a baby spoon, looked at his brothers. What is that? That weird color? Youll get sick if you eat that!

One.

Two.

Three!

Brown Blacks mouths were filled with Lee Seo-juns random baby food, which they admitted was a strange color.
