Chapter 33
[It's scheduled to be broadcast briefly around 8 PM. I hope Ha-eun can watch it if possible.]
Hwang Min-soo PD, who even contacted Ha-eun separately a few days ago to let her know the teaser broadcast time.
Ha-eun, who replied that she would definitely watch it after Hwang Min-soo PD added that she could look forward to it, is currently.
"Ha-eun~. Dad said he'll be there in 10 minutes~."
"Ah, okay. I'm almost ready too."
She was putting writing utensils and a diary into a small yellow suitcase that already contained several changes of clothes.
This was because she was about to go on her first family trip in her 11 years of life.
Of course, Ha-eun didn't particularly intend to break her promise with Hwang Min-soo PD.
It was also true that she was quite curious about what the first teaser of the drama she had worked so hard on would look like.
However, in an interview with Heo Ju-eun right after Ha-eun's first drama shoot ended.
'Well, have you ever gone on a trip abroad with your family? Or any special events like that?'
'Not really...'
Ha-eun's answer that she had never been on a trip before made Seong-yoon and Na-yeon feel bad.
Seong-yoon and Na-yeon, who were even feeling sorry for Ha-eun, finally decided to give their always reliable and kind daughter an unforgettable memory.
Ha-eun learned about their decision just last night.
"Huh? A pension?"
"Yeah. When we arrive, we'll have a barbecue party with charcoal first, and the next day, we'll go to a traditional play experience center and try out various activities."
Na-yeon then told her to look forward to it, just like Hwang Min-soo PD had done a few days ago.
For some reason, Ha-eun's heart felt a little heavy, but she deliberately pretended to be okay and showed Na-yeon the same expression as usual.
So, instead of the first teaser of You Who Came From the Stars, she went to bed looking forward to her first family trip.
The very next day, she finished her usual routine and returned home, adding things that Ha-eun would personally need to the luggage that Na-yeon had packed in advance, which brings us to the present.
After that, instead of Ju Jeong-yun's usual black van, she got into Seong-yoon's brand new white sedan.
Instead of the script she always read, she spent time looking at the pamphlets of the traditional play experience center that Na-yeon had obtained in advance.
Several hours later, when they finally arrived at the pension and put the bright red meat on the reddish charcoal.
Until the next morning when they headed to the traditional play experience center early in the morning, it was as good as she had expected.
No, it was even better than she had expected.
She ended up missing the first teaser of You Who Came From the Stars, but by the time Ha-eun returned home, the teaser would already be uploaded on the drama website.
She thought it was enough to just fully enjoy Ha-eun's first family trip for now.
What could be called an unexpected event happened when Ha-eun finally entered the traditional play experience center.
To be exact, it was from the moment she first drew the bowstring after receiving simple training for the experience.
-Streeeeetch.
"Huh...? It shouldn't be that easy to pull that back?"
An employee who thought Ha-eun's bowstring had come loose approached and briefly took Ha-eun's bow.
However, as a result, all the employee could find out was that there was nothing wrong with the bow.
Not long after, Ha-eun, who received the bow from the bewildered employee, once again easily pulled the bowstring all the way back.
The result of finally shooting an arrow at a target 30m away was a perfect bullseye without even a single millimeter of error.
After that, several more streeeeetches.
Several more swoosh swoosh.
'What...is that...'
It was already surprising enough that Ha-eun, who was only 11 years old, could easily pull back the tough bowstring of a Korean traditional bow.
However, for some reason, every time Ha-eun shot an arrow, it hit the center of the target.
The employee, whose eyes widened in disbelief, eventually lost his words.
Even so, the reason why Ha-eun didn't notice that something was wrong was because of Na-yeon, who was rapidly snapping photos with her camera right next to Ha-eun.
"Hmm, try pulling it back a little slower this time, Ha-eun?"
-Streeetch.
"Like...this?"
"Yeah. Just like that. I'm going to take a picture, so stay still in that position for just 3 seconds~."
Not even a few seconds later, click.
The only thing that appeared on Na-yeon's face after confirming that the photo turned out well was a smile.
Afterwards, Ha-eun, who left the employee of the Korean traditional archery range whose common sense had been destroyed all alone, arrived at the experience center.
As expected, this time as well.
-Thwack!
-Thwack! Thwack!
Every time Ha-eun threw a flat stone, all of the standing stones fell over without exception.
Only then did Seong-yoon barely notice that something was wrong and asked if she wasn't throwing too well.
"Isn't it all thanks to playing catch with you all the time?"
'...Is it really thanks to playing catch?'
Na-yeon, who had been busy capturing Ha-eun's noticeably excited appearance on her digital camera since some point, didn't really question it.
When you think about it, it had already been more than 5 years since she had been playing catch with Seong-yoon.
She thought it was only natural that her lovely daughter was good at throwing anything.
One way or another, the goal of giving Ha-eun an unforgettable memory was being well kept.
In the end, Seong-yoon also ended up focusing on letting Ha-eun try out more experiences instead of being suspicious.
After continuing to go around to various experience centers, it was already evening when the Sunset Child began to appear.
They then headed to a nearby family restaurant and filled it with happy memories until the very last moment.
Was that why?
Not even a few minutes after getting into Seong-yoon's sedan, Ha-eun finally fell asleep leaning on Na-yeon.
'...Oh my. She was saying that as soon as we got home, we should all check the teaser together.'
Ha-eun's appearance in the rearview mirror was truly like that of a child her age.
He didn't know what kind of dream she was having that made her frown and snuggle into Na-yeon's arms from time to time, but even that looked very cute to Seong-yoon.
That's how time passed, and even after finally arriving home.
Instead of waking up Ha-eun, who was still fast asleep, he carefully picked her up and gently laid her down on the bed.
He thought it wouldn't matter if they postponed checking the teaser for a little while.
However, unlike Seong-yoon, Na-yeon had as much anticipation for the teaser as Ha-eun did.
"Hey honey. Let's watch it first, even if it's just the two of us."
"Hmm, wouldn't Ha-eun be upset if she found out we watched the teaser without her?"
"Still. I'm curious."
As a result, Seong-yoon ended up sitting in front of the computer in the living room with Na-yeon.
Even with wired earphones, one for Na-yeon and one for him.
That's how they accessed the official website of You Who Came From the Stars.
"Is this the teaser that Ha-eun was talking about?"
"Yeah."
He pressed the play button on the teaser video that was decorating the center of the site.
However, he was slightly disappointed with the teaser, which only showed Ha Yoon-sung and Yoo Seong-ah for about 20 seconds after that.
Of course, it was understandable for the broadcasting station to structure the content that way, given the popularity of the two main actors.
Still, he couldn't help but feel disappointed because he had hoped that Ha-eun's appearance would also take up a certain amount of importance.
｢Every time I see you, I get a really...strange feeling. It's like I've met you somewhere before.｣
However, at the same time as Yoo Seong-ah's doubtful voice as she gazed intently at Ha Yoon-sung ended.
As the scenery in the teaser slowly began to return to the past hundreds of years ago, Seong-yoon and Na-yeon's eyes gradually widened.
-Step.
As a shadow of a different shape from Yoo Seong-ah's slowly revealed its appearance, the two people's eyes also slowly deepened.
Eventually, the landscape of a vast reed field began to fill the monitor screen.
And, one elegant silhouette standing alone in the middle of it.
｢...My Lord.｣
The face of Ha-eun that Seong-yoon and Na-yeon finally faced was clearly smiling faintly.
However, at the same time, they also felt a feeling that she looked somewhat sad for some reason.
At that moment, Seong-yoon and Na-yeon unknowingly made eye contact with Ha-eun in the monitor.
-Drip.
A tear slowly flowed down her cheek from her eyes, which had turned red at some point.
The screen went black in an instant.
And, almost at the same time, they heard.
｢Just, please remember me.｣
Ha-eun's voice, in which various emotions were turbidly mixed to the point where it was impossible to clearly define what kind of emotion it was.
After that, the logo of You Who Came From the Stars slowly floated onto the darkened screen, signaling that the teaser had ended.
The number of views of the teaser displayed in the corner of the monitor screen had already exceeded 300,000 and was soaring towards 400,000.
Even so, the reason why Seong-yoon and Na-yeon's gazes were directed at each other instead of the huge number of views was.
"Hey, honey. That just now, that was our daughter...right?"
"...Yeah. It's the same person as the one who's sleeping soundly in her room right now."
It was such a chilling performance that even the two people who gave birth to and raised Lee Ha-eun doubted their own eyes.
A performance that makes you unable to take your eyes off it for even a single moment.
However, what Seong-yoon and Na-yeon just saw was only a short teaser of about 1 minute.
Strictly speaking, the scene in which Ha-eun appeared was only about 10 seconds.
That means that Ha-eun's acting in You Who Came From the Stars has not yet been properly revealed.
"Our daughter is really amazing..."
"...I know."
Both Seong-yoon and Na-yeon decided to watch You Who Came From the Stars, which would start four days later, no matter what.
