Big Life

003/1 - No money and no popularity

“Even though he's dead, he sold all the writers he sells. ”

Reconstruction is surrounded by words.

I didn't want to elaborate on myself in front of my motivators. However, Myung Hun did not change the topic, but dragged the story as it was.

“No, I'm not talking about the other writers. Reconstruction. Do you think the silence you're using is going to sell? ”

“I don't know. Now I've handed over the manuscript and I have to go to the book to find out. ”

“Based on the tactics, don't you have an approximate revenue estimate? You're not paying for the paper, are you? ”

“Well, well. I'm comfortable with that. ”

“I'm going to have to write one every month. No, I don't think life is going to be easy with that. ”

“ ……. ”

“A writer needs to write and earn money to write. People are laughing at you because you can't make money. ”

Tak!

Jinjin takes a sip of soju and drops down the glass.

“Hey, Myung-hoon Oh. Are you sorry to hear that? ”

“Selfish? What kind of selfish? ”

I tilted my head as if there was no sense in Myeonghun. Life leaked out from the eyes of the sincere.

“Don't pretend you don't know. I'm warning you before we get drunk. Let's not be alarmed and stay in a good mood. Huh?"

Jinjin grunts, staring at Myeong Hun.

Myeong-hoon's showmanship and opportunistic personality have not changed since college. The women remained twisted in their unreadable nature.

Even as soon as I met him today, I also knew why Myeong-hoon began to rebuild. It was because of Lee Soo-hee, who had not yet come. The truth could be confirmed.

“Okay, okay. You're acting like you're standing there to say hello to your friend. I'm embarrassed, but I have to stop. ”

Myeonghun finishes his remarks, scoffing to the end.

Hyojin, who was conscious of the slightly cooler atmosphere, turned to talk around.

“By the way, is everyone here? ”

“I don't think Soo-hee's here yet. ”

In the name of Su-hee, the two ears of the reconstruction flashed. Her fresh smile seems to come back to life before your eyes.

“Oh, right. I have to call Soo-hee. ”

Mina took out her phone.

However, Myung-hoon stopped Mina, beating her hand.

“You wouldn't be answering your phone right now. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“He suddenly had a meeting today and went to work late. ”

How do you know that? Are you two together? ”

Mina narrowed her eyes and asked.

Myung Hun shakes his head, smiling, and replies.

“You know you go to Soo-hee Gaming Company, right? He's the head of the planning team for Connection Mobile. ”

“So?”

“This is a new racing game that's going to be launched, and it's going to be huge. He was begging for a scenario. Well, there's no motive for loyalty. I said yes.”

The eyes of the sisters sparkle. I was staring at him with a glittering look at the jewelry.

“This is amazing. So you're adding a career as a game scenario writer now? ”

“How much money do they pay you? Connections are the best in the country. If an egotistical kid like Su-hee could do me a favor, you'd be in great shape. ”

Myeonghun was enjoying the gaze and attention that was poured out on him, leaning comfortably on the back of the sofa. Relaxing, he laughed.

“Hahaha, but I'm sorry I said this. It's because of me that Soo-hee can't come to the reunion. I can't. I'll shoot first today. Give me what I want. ”

“Wow? Really? Oh, Myung-hoon, that's so cool! ”

“Hey, the superwriter wants to shoot! Load 'em up! Fill' em up quickly! Cheers! ”

In a chaotic atmosphere, the reconstruction raised the bottle alone. A sudden flying hand grabs the wrist of reconstruction just before pouring into the glass. A moment ago, Jinjin was next to me.

“Don't fuck around, asshole. ”

“What's wrong with the bird? ”

Reconstruction and sincerity slammed into each other's cups. As I handed the cold soju over to my neck, the reconstruction was deeply appreciated by Jinjin. I wouldn't have been able to endure this time without the truth.

After the first round, the reconstruction and advancement left the herd.

It was a genuine opinion, not a reconstruction. The two of them were pouring soju into Odeng Tang in a quiet indoor car.

“It feels good to drink in a quiet place. ”

“I'm sorry.”

“What.”

“I know this because I care. ”

“Don't be a dick. It's not because of you, it's because of him. ”

“I wasn't wrong. Writers need to make money to write. ”

“Oh shut up! Shit, it's disgusting to see that son of a bitch running around. He's even worse for you because of Su-hee. ”

Reconstruction smiled bitterly instead of answering.

Lee Soo Hee.

He was one of the motivators who captured the attention of men with his unusual beauty. I also had a good personality, so I was smooth with women. Reconstruction was also one of the men who favored her.

Myeong-hoon confessed to Su-hee and was rejected in college. At that time, Myung Hun was shocked and did not come to class for a week.

A few months from that.

Soon after graduation, Su Hee confessed that she liked one of her comrades. The motive was to rebuild. That's why it was always cool to write hard.

Reconstruction did not accept her confession at the time.

The reason was clear: the house was poor and the university traveled in parallel with part-time. I didn't have the money to make love. The inferiority caused by the extravagant situation interfered with love.

As I recall, the reconstruction took another drink.

Unfortunately, I had no regrets.

I thought that even if I accepted Su Hee at that time, I wouldn't have been together until now. He's still a poor writer who worries about rent and showers with cold water to save his gas bills.

Glug glug!

Jinjin's phone trembled.

The face of Jinjin, who held up his phone and checked the screen, was crumpling on the spot.

“Wow, that's amazing. I don't think so.”

It was a message from Hyojin, the woman who was with me a while ago.

Myung-hoon and Mina were also in the picture. Everyone smiles brightly and holds up a glass of wine.

“Fuck, the wine is Nikimi. ”

“Wine?"

“Myung Hun asked me to go there because he has a regular wine bar in Italy. He shoots. Those fucking pussies just want to be free. Watch them sneak around. ”

The purple face turned red and blushed, pushing the phone towards the reconstruction. Reconstruction followed Soju into his empty glass and asked.

“Do you have feelings for Hyo-jin? ”

“Did you get caught?”

He admitted straight away without hiding it. Apparently, he was my best friend.

Reconstruction laughed and asked questions.

“Since when?”

“Hmm, since last year's reunion. When I was in college, I thought I was just a kid. The more I look at it, the more glamorous I find it. Strong and courageous. I have a tendency to be attracted to it. ”

“Yes, Hyo-jin has a strong side. He has a cute face.”

“Hey, screw it. Fuck Myeong-hoon and tell him to drink his fucking wine. I'm all out. Drink. Drink. ”

Glug glug!

This time, the phone of reconstruction vibrated.

On the screen, it was the editor's phone. Reconstruction became a serious face and told Jinjin.

“I'm going to take this for a minute. ”

“Come quickly. ”

Reconstruction went out of the bar and answered the phone.

“Hello?"

- Hello, Mr. Ha. I read the first draft well. Can I talk to you now?
