10 - Follow me (3)
“Ah……. ”
A vague voice flows from the mouth of the rebuilding puzzled by unexpected words.
While the torn page of the book was unfinished, the woman opened her eyes wide.
“Are you the writer Haejeon? ”
“Oh, yes. That's right."
“Awesome...! ”
The woman covers her mouth with both hands, scared to answer.
Surprisingly, he frowned and smiled up to the bottom of his mouth.
“Oh, my God, I was so surprised. I didn't know it when I saw it from afar, but when I looked at it this close...! I saw that in the book of the day. ”
“Ah-ha-ha, yes. ”
“The real thing is much more handsome. Stupid woman reads well. I've been working since yesterday, and I'm almost at the end of it! I cried on the subway and got in trouble! ”
The woman forgot that she was working and repeatedly said in an elastic voice.
Reconstruction was only responding with a embarrassing smile because he didn't know what to say.
“I'm so sorry, but could you sign for me? ”
“Ah, yes. I'll do it for you.”
“Thank you, thank you. Hold on, I'll be right back. ”
The woman quickly opened the staff room door and went inside as she looked at the trends of the employees around her. And in less than 30 seconds, I came back with a stupid woman.
“I bought it last week. I want you to take the lead here. ”
“What's your name? ”
“Kim Ha-yoon.”
The reconstruction carefully signed as if the book were fixed in a corner by the West.
It was Su Hee's second sign.
Thank you. Be happy.
A natural and improved sign along with the text was engraved on the white margin of the book.
“Here.”
“Th-thank you. I'm so impressed. ”
The woman who received the book back muttered in awe.
The rendezvous with her was one-on-one. It's always the same landscape. Here, only boring work repeats itself, a writer who wrote his favorite novel has appeared.
“Do you come to my bookstore often? ”
“Yes, I often come here because it's the closest bookstore. ”
“Oh, why haven't I seen you before? But you're reading so fast. Oh, I didn't mean to see that. When they organized it, he read it as fast as he could. You're a writer, so you don't read as fast as anyone else. ”
I think I'm only 20 years old now.
The girl who appeared to be Somi's age couldn't get excited like a girl, and puffed up her elongated chest.
“You read too well. I have so many questions about books and writing. When you're free, I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee, if that's okay with you. I always leave at 6: 00. ”
“Ah……. ”
Aggressive and daring assault on the female staff embarrassed the reconstruction once again.
I wasn't in a bad mood. The girl in the blue uniform was quite attractive with a cute face and small figure. Not as a reader, but as a rational woman.
Reconstruction did not immediately make a decision.
I thought about meeting her for a while, but I cared for her.
“When you get a chance, do it. ”
“Thank you. Can I... get a pen?" ”
The woman with the note out of her pocket asked.
When the reconstruction took out the fountain pen, she wrote down her name and mobile number and returned it with a pen.
“Now I have to go clean out the warehouse. I hope you get in touch with me. It was really nice to meet you.”
“Yes, nice to meet you, too. ”
A woman carried a book in her heart and headed to the warehouse. Before I opened the door, I felt the gaze of looking back at me, but I didn't pretend to have seen the reconstruction.
‘Should I not have taken a picture? ’
Cafes followed by bookstores.
The idea that I might change my regular bookstore soon to be able to look at books comfortably struck the mind of reconstruction.
‘I have to go back today. ’
Reconstruction took five to six more books, including his torn books, and headed to the calculations.
A bookstore where a woman who recognizes herself works. Staying longer seemed to create a commotion.
‘This was the most fun I had today. ’
I climbed up to the ground on an escalator and opened the book.
It was a book I tore up in front of a woman in a hurry to read. In medieval Europe, it was a fantasy novel about a knight fighting a dragon who hated humans.
"You know, dragons are cool. Spread your wings and fly around, knocking down a city with a single Bress. ’
Reconstruction had a ten-thousand-year pen in one hand.
"You want me to write one around a dragon? ’
A pen stuck in the margin of the book with three letters: "Dragon." And after a while, the reconstructive head was processing another new person.
"A loyal knight who was betrayed by a colleague who envied his talents! A dragon falls from the sky at the moment of the mutilation when he has to hang his neck on the head of an executioner! ’
Reconstruction quickly wrote down the emerging developments, flashing both eyes.
The man behind his back tapped his shoulder with an annoying expression.
“Hey, can you step aside, please? ”
“Oh, I'm sorry. ”
Reconstruction apologized and stepped aside. I didn't even know I was standing in the way of people because I was thinking.
I can't. I have to go inside and clean up first. ’
You have to vomit before you cool off the sudden hot story.
There was a cafe nearby. However, it was against the bookstore that many guests and the lights were too bright.
After searching around for a cafe to work in, the reconstruction finds a suitable shop and enters.
“Welcome. ”
“Iced Americano, please. ”
Reconstruction of the beverage you ordered was seated at the corner table inside the cafe.
He pulled out the straw and began to develop a cup of coffee that paused for a moment.
‘A winged dragon crashes and the executioner becomes a mess...... The protagonist who escapes his death is worried about the villagers of a nearby village who might be hurt by a dragon. But I just happened to see it. Save the girl who wants to shake her tail while all the dragons are dying! ’
The fountain pen kept moving and filled the notepad.
Reconstruction continued to pour out emerging developments, handing over small notepads.
‘The protagonist suddenly realizes. The fact that many people, including the people who framed themselves, had misunderstood the dragon. And we remove the seal of the curse from the dragon's wings, and together we escape from execution…… here we are! ’
The breath of reconstruction was rough and the heart was beating like a burst. It was a frightening excitement.
A sense of excitement that rarely happens unless it's time to write the story you want to write. I became a writer in the first place because I had such good senses.
‘Here, the protagonist and the dragon make a contract. The protagonist's goal is to save the princess and the people of the kingdom who secretly fell in love. The purpose of a dragon is to reclaim its nest. Yeah, that's what we signed up for! ’
The reconstruction grins, clenching his fist overhead.
The two women who had just sat at his side table were moving to a pale complexion.
‘Now that we have a contract, the only one who can ride the dragon is the main character. The dragon is so strong, I'll give you a handicap. The curse weakens my strength, or I can't use my strength for more than an hour in a day.... ’
The development continued without perceiving the flow of time.
After 1, 2, 3, 4...
A vast epic poem was being built firmly.
It was not just the passage of time that the reconstruction was unaware. Even the fountain pen he was using was forgotten by him.
What time is it? ’
Suddenly, there was darkness outside the window.
I took out my phone, and it was already past 7: 00 pm.
The reconstruction melted all the ice, so the sheep took more coffee at once and left the cafe.
‘As soon as I get home today, I'm going to start writing. ’
The journey to the subway station was urgent.
A head full of novels to use, there was no room for other accidents. I was enthusiastic about it, but I almost missed the stop.
Glug.
The phone call came from Dassle as the house was getting close enough to see the grave of Seo Gun Woo. Reconstruction was a bit suspicious and pressed the call icon because it was not text and it never called first.
“Hello?"
- Writer, what are you doing?
“I went to the bookstore after work and I'm entering the house. ”
- Glucana, have you had dinner? I'm not going to karaoke today.
“Oh, I have something urgent to do. ”
Reconstruction replied, not slowing down.
I couldn't afford Dazle's offer. Starting tonight, I decided to write a novel immediately. I was also going to solve the dinner by myself.
- I'm not asking you to drink. Can't we just have dinner together?
“It's been a long day, and I'll see you next week. I'll buy you something delicious then. ”
- Chi, okay. Yeah, I'm gonna hang up. Just like this.
“I'm sorry, but I'll buy you something really good. ”
- I was joking. Okay, work hard, brother.
“Yes, Mr Darcy, enjoy your dinner. ”
After hanging up the phone, the reconstruction climbed up the hill and approached the tomb of Seo Gun Woo.
He looks at the tomb wrapped in darkness and talks.
“Sunbae, I went to the bookstore today. Do you know how many books I've read with your glasses? Over 50 volumes. I've read a little over two hours, and I haven't counted how many volumes I've read in the last 50 hours, and I've filled out more than a third of my yearbook in one day. Do you think this makes sense? ”
Reconstruction continues by manually removing the weeds from the visible grave.
“I had a novel in mind because I read many books in a while. I'm going to go right in and use it. Fantasy. It's really fun to write fantasies. In college, there was no one but me who was a fantasy student. You can dream about this crumbling world. Dreams are good. ”
I never uttered a word to a living acquaintance.
It was a reconstruction to vomit my insides out in front of the grave of Seo Gun Woo.
“I'll be going in now. I'll come back to check on you when it's done. Have a good night, sunbae. ”
Reconstruction bows at your waist and turns back down the hill.
The tomb of Seo Gun Woo, surrounded by silence, was looking down at the end of the small reconstruction towards the house.
* * *
The first subway before 7: 30 am was still 10,000 won today.
Somi stands with her little body tucked into the doorway and breathes closely.
‘I'll be out 30 minutes early tomorrow. ’
I had a driver's license, but I didn't have a car In addition, Somi had not yet acquired and maintained the ability to buy a car.
It is a social life that started without the help of the family.
The Donghae boarding house, run by my parents, was getting worse as they were pushed to the pensions. Studio deposits obtained after the job was assigned to Starbooks were also paid for directly with money earned by part-time work in college.
Glug glug!
‘Oh, who is it? ’
Somi was embarrassed when her phone shivered in her coat pocket. It's pressed down like a sandwich, so there's no angle you can lower your hand.
Fortunately, shortly after arriving at the station, the subway opened its doors.
Somi lowered her phone to the people behind her back and grabbed it. The name of the rebuild came up on the screen.
“Hello, Writer Ha. What are you doing here so early? ”
- Were you at work?
“Yes, it's the subway. ”
After everyone got off, Somi responded, putting herself back on the subway. I felt a little calm and breathless.
- I wrote a new one.
“Yes? A new one? Are you going to make the next one?”
- Yeah, it's a fantasy. I've been writing since the day I met Somi. We emailed them up to three volumes.
“ ……! ”
Somi's pupils were surprisingly enlarged.
It was only two weeks ago that I heard that it would be difficult to rebuild. You sent me three volumes in just one full night?
No matter how quickly I could write it every time, it was a mysterious smile.
- Take a look and get back to me. If you don't mind, I'll see you today.
“Yes, yes. Sir, I understand. We'll read it and get back to you as soon as we can. ”
- Please, I'm hanging up.
After hanging up, Somi immediately accessed the public mailbox from her mobile phone. There must have been received three new fantasy novels from the reconstruction.
The title is Dragon Rider? Is he a dragon rider? ’
Somi opened the novel by clicking on the file, her eyes flashing with interest.
The whole time I got off the station and walked diligently across the cloudy bridge to the company building, my gaze stayed on novels only.
