Chapter 6

Lee Min-joon moved the skeleton doll. 

Seo-jun held a small dog doll.

According to Kim Hee-sang, it was a werewolf doll that turned into a human when it saw the full moon.

Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon sighed as they saw the sharp eyes and the fierce mouth with flashing teeth that looked alive. But Seo-jun was happy to hear Kim Hee-sangs explanation. 

He said he would give him a human version as a gift next time.

He was such a cool uncle.

Uuung.

Oh, yes. I am the king of skeletons. The Lich King, Edmund!

Seo-jun whined at Lee Min-joons awkward acting. 

Lee Min-joon read the script on the paper and spat out the lines while moving the skeleton doll.

He didnt act like that at other times, but he always reacted dull when he played with monster dolls. 

It was a script written by Kim Hee-sang, Seo-juns best playmate.

-Seo-jun likes realistic things, right?

-Is this realistic?

-Look! Seo-jun!

-Uung?

-I am the cursed dragon, Black Dragon, and I will destroy the world! Waaaaah!

-Kyaaaaak!

Lee Min-joon thought he had never seen Seo-jun so excited. He looked at the paper again.

There were lines on the paper that were hard for him to say. 

As Lee Min-joon tried to put down the paper, Seo-jun grabbed his fathers hand.

Dad.

Seeing his sons sparkling eyes, Lee Min-joon sighed and opened the paper again.

My minions, my subjects. Follow my com command.

Uwoo woo!

Oh, my Seo-jun. Our son says you need to put more emotion into it.

Seo Eun-hye, who was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea, said with a giggle. 

Lee Min-joon rubbed his face with one hand.

My Seo-juns mom. Your son. He really likes this.

He loves it when he plays with Hee-sang too.

Uwo uwo!

Okay. Okay. Dont talk to mom and play with me?

As if he knew his sons heart well, Seo-jun smiled happily and lifted the werewolf-wolf version doll. 

The blue fur of the wolf doll sparkled as if it had been treated somehow.

The Lich King and the werewolf!

It was obvious that the Lich King would win, but the babys play was different. After a few times of awkwardly spitting out lines and clashing Seo-juns wolf doll and skeleton doll, dad said.

Ack! I lost!

The werewolf won.

The baby loved this play where he always won.

Seo Eun-hye hugged Seo-jun who was excited. 

She patted his belly to calm him down.

Huhuhu.

Oh my. Seo-jun won!

Seo-jun is amazing!

Whether it was calming or exciting him, the couples words made Seo-juns arms and legs flail in the air.

He felt his body twitch and his heart beat fast as he heard his parents praise. Seo-jun couldnt speak, but he shouted in his mind.

Dad mom mom!

Im awesome! Im great!

The babys instinct overcame Seo-juns reason. 

After playing with his son for a while, Seo Eun-hye mentioned what Minas mom had suggested about YouTube.

So I was thinking about uploading videos on YouTube

Hmm.

But what if Seo-jun grows up and asks why we did that What should we do?

Lee Min-joon laughed at Seo Eun-hyes worries.

Its just a baby video. And by the time Seo-jun asks that question, it will be already forgotten.

Thats true, but

In my opinion

Lee Min-joon recalled his conversation with Kim Hee-sang.

He thought of Kim Hee-sang who saw Seo-jun waving his arms and said he liked cameras and had the potential to be an actor.

Lee Min-joon was leaning towards that idea too.

Maybe Seo-jun likes being filmed?

Seo-jun?

Look. He usually eats quietly. But when we filmed him with a camera, he was so happy and even waved his arms.

Thats because you have to wave your arms to use [Fairys Sparkle]. Dad.

Seo-jun thought as he heard Lee Min-joons words. But it wasnt a bad approach. 

Seo-jun was in a babys body that could barely speak or express himself.

It would be nice to be famous from an early age if I want to be a superstar!

Seo-jun liked the idea of his parents leading him in that direction. 

Seo-jun smiled brightly.

Suddenly smiling, Seo-jun was patted by Seo Eun-hye. 

She remembered two weeks ago. 

Seo-jun was eating his food happily while waving his arms.

Come to think of it, he did. 

There was a camera in front of Seo-jun for the first time when he was eating.

Did he know and like the camera?

The baby who was nibbling on his fist looked at Seo Eun-hye and smiled brightly.

Lee Min-joon shrugged and said.

Hes the one who complained that my acting was not cool.

Ah.

Ah.

Seo Eun-hye exclaimed, and Lee Min-joon made a face as if he realized what he had said. 

Seo Eun-hye looked at him with disbelief.

Why are you surprised by what you said?

No, I just said it without thinking Our son is really amazing.

Lee Min-joon said with admiration in his voice.

How did he know that my acting was awkward?

Maybe because your voice was unnatural and you kept pausing?

Well, he cant understand the words anyway.

Lee Min-joon nodded. 

Seo Eun-hye lifted Seo-jun and looked into his eyes. 

Seo-jun thought I can understand everything and smiled sweetly.

Our son. Isnt he a genius?! He seems like a real genius, right?

Hes 7 months old, no, 8 months old now! How are other 8-month-old babies?

I dont know.

Seo Eun-hye answered Lee Min-joons question as she shook Seo-jun in the air.

Our Seo-jun grows fast. The hospital said hes in the top few percent. Theres hardly anyone to compare him with.

Wow! Seo-jun is awesome!

The couples eyes turned to their son. 

Seo-jun pretended not to know anything and nibbled on his fist.

Then should we really make him act?

Acting

Seo Eun-hye and Lee Min-joon thought of the baby roles and child actors they had seen in dramas or movies. 

And then they thought of the actors who successfully transitioned from child actors to adult actors.

But then they also thought of the actors who couldnt escape from their childhood image and eventually quit acting.

The parents worries deepened. 

Seo Eun-hye, who was holding Seo-jun in her arms, said. 

It was about YouTube that Minas mom had suggested.

So I was thinking about uploading videos on YouTube

Hmm.

But what if Seo-jun grows up and asks why we did that What should we do?

Mom, Dad, I dont think thats the most important thing right now!

Oh, right, thats not the problem.

Seo Eun-hye came to her senses and said. 

It was too early to think about becoming an actor or a star. 

At least, they had to wait until their child could express his own wishes. 

Lee Min-joon realized her thoughts and felt embarrassed.

So, youre okay with uploading it on YouTube?

Yes, I agree. Mi-nas mom said she had a hard time because Ji-yoon wouldnt eat. I dont know much, but it would be a good thing if it helps other people.

Okay, got it. Then Ill upload it on YouTube!

He handed Seo-jun to his fathers arms and Seo Eun-hye picked up her smartphone. 

She wanted to contact Mi-nas mom.

<Min-ju unnie!

<I talked to my husband and we think its okay to upload it on YouTube!

-Really?

-Then make an account with your name and upload it!

<My name? Cant you just upload it on your channel?

-Eun-hye, you dont know because you watch my videos a few times a day!

-That counts as a lot of views!

-Other moms will definitely watch it too, so you can apply for monetization later and put ads on it!

-Buy Seo-jun something delicious!

Is that so?

Seo Eun-hyes words made the couple look at the Banana Talk screen together.

The baby was tired from playing and fell asleep. His eyes closed by themselves. 

The parents voices became quieter as they noticed.

Thats a good idea. I didnt think about ads. We can use it for Seo-juns education later. I want to let him do whatever he wants.

Lee Min-joon said and Seo Eun-hye thought for a moment. 

She also wanted to let Seo-jun do whatever he wanted.

But it was just a video of a baby eating. 

With this kind of video.

Will it make that much?

She wondered.

Or maybe, Seo-juns allowance?

Lee Min-joon joked lightly and Seo Eun-hye laughed.

Yeah. Were not trying to make a fortune.

Seo Eun-hye brought her laptop from the room and came to the living room. 

She put the laptop on the table and logged in to YouTube.

YouTube was easy to upload videos, so Seo Eun-hye quickly made a channel.

What should I name the channel?

Batoq! Batoq!

Just then, Banana Talk came in. 

It was her YouTube senior, Mi-nas mom.

-Oh, I forgot to tell you, but put the title and channel name in English and Korean!

<English?

-There are English-speaking moms on my channel too!

-Korean babies are not the only ones who dont eat. Foreign kids dont eat either.

-If you put the title in Korean, they wont be able to find it!

English

Mi-nas moms message made the couple think deeply. L

ee Min-joon patted Seo-juns back as he slept and said.

Our son really doesnt have any sleep problems and sleeps well.

It was a random remark, but the couple didnt think it was strange at all. 

Mom and dad were happy with even the smallest advantages of their baby.

Hes such a filial son.

I know. Our son is the best!

Wait, think of a channel name. Seo-juns dad!

Seo Eun-hye scolded Lee Min-joon, who laughed out loud.

Lets keep it simple. Were only going to upload two videos anyway.

Thats true. How about Seo-jun? Seo? Jun?

Seo sounds weird, so Jun?

Thats how they decided on the channel name.

[JUN]

Is it too simple?

Seo Eun-hye tilted her head and then shrugged. 

She uploaded the video. 

She didnt think she could come up with a better name anyway.

What about the video title?

Just write baby food version and baby formula version. Mi-nas mom will explain it for us.

Mi-nas mom was the first one to introduce Seo-juns video.

Should we?

Seo Eun-hye agreed with Lee Min-joons words and uploaded the video.

[baby food version baby food. ver]

[baby formula version baby formula. ver]

Seo Eun-hye sent a Banana Talk message to Mi-nas mom.

<Unnie!

Lee Min-joon carried Seo-jun to the bedroom and gently rocked him. His soft words flowed out like a lullaby.

Our Seo-jun will be famous now! Then hell buy dad a car~ and mom a car~ and a house~

Pfft!

Seo Eun-hye burst into laughter at Lee Min-joons words. 

He also smiled at her laughter. 

Seo Eun-hye followed his tone and said.

Yeah. Our Seo-jun will buy a car~ and toys~

And go on trips~

<I uploaded the video!

<The channel name is [JUN] and the videos are the same ones I sent you before! Baby food version and baby formula version.

-Thank you so much! Ill promote it for sure!

On a chilly autumn night.

In a small apartment in Korea, a video that would become the eternal number one of the Best 10 videos that parents around the world should watch when raising a baby was uploaded.
