Big Life

- Hello, Dr. Hae-won. It's the landscape.

“Yes, hello. ”

While answering, the reconstruction was captivated by a strange feeling.

The title he called himself was changed from "The Writer" to "Teacher." I didn't even meet him in person, but somehow I felt itchy.

- I just wanted to call and say a few things. Can I talk to you for a second?

“Yes, you can. Go ahead. ”

Reconstruction replies, looking around the perimeter.

Jinjin was going to Su-hee and Hyo-jin who were curious and showing them her cell phone. The two women were surprised when they saw the real-time rise in search terms under reconstruction.

- Hurricane outbreak is scheduled to be released in four weeks. Once the winner has entered the work, there will be no disruption to the planned schedule.

“Ah, yes. Thank you."

- And I want to talk to you about the schedule after it's released. As included in the terms of the contract, there is an autograph at the Vandi and Lunia headquarters first. Do you have any difficulties or problems with this?

“No, nothing in particular. ”

As he replied, the reconstruction was looting his right hand.

The idea was to make the clumsy cause better by intense practice for four weeks.

- And then there's the radio.

“Yes? Radio? ”

- Yeah, writer's night. It will be done in the form of a question and answer with a prepared script. Broadcast time isn't that long, so there's nothing to be burdened with.

“Hmm, yes. Okay, I'm sure you know that. ”

Do you have any questions?

“I'm not curious. Hmm... ”

The reconstruction blurred the end of the horse and looked at the kitchen.

Everyone was still looking at themselves with an unsurprised look on their faces.

“Have you seen the Internet? ”

- The Internet?

“They must have heard that I wrote a genre novel in the name of Poongcheon Oil. ”

The opposing Pokémon's low laughter taps the rebuilding eardrum.

Immediately, the answer continued.

- Yes, I did. That's a generally more positive reaction than I was worried about. Personally, I felt that my readers' eyes were not what they used to be, and I thought it was a good thing. I think you don't have to worry about these things.

“Yes……. ”

- Do you have any more questions?

“That was it. Thank you very much. ”

- Okay, I'll be in touch, sir.

“Yes, have a good day. ”

As soon as the reconstruction hung up the phone, Jinjin and Hyojin bounced. Then he asked me the question in the front of the argument.

“What did she say? Where did she come from? ”

“You're the Contemporary Youth Literature Prize, right? Is this what you're calling about? ”

Su Hee, in front of the pot of boiling stew, was also staring with anxious eyes.

Reconstruction struck the hand with a bitter smile.

“It's not like that. Never mind that I wrote a genre novel with Poongcheon Oil. ”

“So what else did you say? I thought I heard something about a radio. ”

“They have to sign the book after it's out. And he said he had to be on the radio. ”

“Radio?! ”

“Uh, writer's night. ”

Jinjin grabbed my neck and looked like he was dying of gumbo.

Hyo-jin was also pounding my thighs with his palms.

“That's what Professor Han Hye-sun used to do. Wow, that's great. I can't believe it's so cool. ”

“Yes, rebuild. You're gonna be a star, aren't you? ”

You shake your head, smiling as if the reconstruction were embarrassing.

“What kind of radio show makes you a star? You don't listen well to writers at night. How many people will listen. ”

“Hey, how many people listen, so does that matter? The point is, you've improved your writer rating enough to be on the radio. You don't know what I mean? ”

Su Hee, who came with a ladle, also listened to Jinjin's words.

“Yes, rebuild. I don't care how many people are listening, no matter what the truth is. It's a great thing in itself. I'm so happy for you. ”

Reconstruction looks up at Su-hee, raising her head.

Her face was filled with soft smiles, which she could not help but relish. The eyes of reconstruction, which were filled with a shy smile, suddenly moved beyond her shoulders into the kitchen.

“Su-hee. It's full of stew.”

“Oh, my gosh! ”

Suhee ran to the Buryburia kitchen.

Hyojin also bounced up like a spring and followed her.

Reconstruction and sincerity glanced at each other's faces and laughed as they slammed their fists together.

Even the memory of who started it was a one-on-one encounter.

It was a sign that spring was not far away.

* * *

The waves from the Arctic were particularly fierce.

Recordable cold enveloped the world.

Even in the midst of that, time was constantly flowing without freezing.

Four weeks later, I had a winter day.

Reconstruction bought his recently published book 'Gale Anger’ and went to his mother's bridge.

It was to meet Professor Han Hye-sun who taught himself generously, both now and then.

“You picked a beautiful book. ”

Inside the quiet laboratory was the smell of warm warmth and warm coffee. The creased fingertips of the comet were touching the cover of 'Gale wrath’.

“I like this neat cover rather than the illustration. ”

“I'm happy to hear you say that. ”

The reconstruction grabbed the mug with both hands and replied.

Hyejeon opened the book in his hand with wet eyes.

As soon as she saw the first chapter, she opened her eyes. There was a single line of sentences engraved on the center of the white page.

- I dedicate this book to a man named Dassle and her life.

“Who's Dassle? ”

“Ah, yes. That's ……. ”

Reconstruction briefly explained the coverage of Karaoke Helper by meeting Dassle, with the exception of a true story.

When I heard all that, Hyerin smiled loudly enough to let down her glasses.

“Again, rebuilding. He's a behavioral novelist. Ha-ha-ha. Nice pose, then. Writers have a lot of experience. That's where the writing is supposed to come from. I need to see, hear and feel more as I move forward. ”

“Yes, Professor. I'm remembering.”

The clock was running past 12 o'clock.

Reconstruction was unlucky as it was time for lunch.

“Hey, Professor. It's lunchtime... ”

Knock, knock!

As the reconstruction speaks, a knock sounds behind your back. He looked up at the book.

“Come in.”

Immediately, the door opened and three to four men and women entered the lab.

When the reconstruction and gaze met, they stood firmly in place, flinching together.

I forgot to even say hello to the comet.

“Ash, rebuild…? ”

“It's been a long time, it's been a long time. ”

Reconstruction smiles and greets.

All were motivators of the same class as rebuilding. I came to Baribari wrapping presents for Hyejeon as excuse for the old age that is coming soon.

“What are you all standing around for? You should sit down if you're here.”

The comrades were furious with the words of the comet.

Later, they bowed their heads to the comet and politely handed out presents that they had brought in turn.

“Professor, only good things happen this year. ”

“Thank you so much for always taking good care of my writing. ”

“A small gesture. Not enough, but I hope you like it. ”

He didn't even look at their gifts properly.

I was sick of the presents of the disciples for no particular reason. I told him not to buy it, but I couldn't because it didn't work. I've given up nagging for a long time now.

“Yes, thank you. Put it on the desk there. ”

Hyerin said in a voice with a faint sigh.

My chest tightened as if I was pretending.

The disciples were frustrated that they could only think of this as a way to gain their own affection.

“Ah……. ”

A comrade's gaze is pierced into the book with the comet in his hand.

Everyone knew.

What is the award for contemporary youth literature?

As soon as we saw the rebuilding, this was why everyone was embarrassed.

“Well, you heard about the reconstruction, right? ”

“Yes, yes…… Professor. Of course.”

“Don't forget to read each book that was published today. Very well written. It will also help your writing. ”

In the words of the comet, my comrades forced me to make a rotting smile to my mouth.

Both clowns were shaking like they had promised. The eyes tangled with desire and jealousy were cleaning up the reconstruction that was sitting again and again.

‘Hahaha... ’

While he was conscious of the eyes of his comrades, he did not relive the reconstruction, but only laughed.

It's been like this for a long time.

Few people woke up with a free spirit in front of the name of literature, including Su Hee and Jinjin.

“Have you guys said anything about congratulating the reconstruction? ”

He said in the tone that the comet is a wild tree.

Then the comrades hesitated and gave a soulless congratulations to the reconstruction.

“Congratulations, reconstructor. ”

“I'll make sure to read it. ”

“I'll live on the way home. ”

It was a warped, dry voice that made them sound strange to hear.

Those who preached a celebration that they didn't even have the heart to doubt that this was really the voice they were making.

“Yes, thank you. ”

Reconstruction also stood up in a soulless tone.

His gaze met Hye-in.

As soon as I changed my mind, Hyerin smiled bitterly and nodded.

“Are you leaving now? ”

“Yes, Professor. The professor must be busy too. I'll get up now. ”

I didn't want to waste my time among the haters like a flame. The heart of such a reconstruction was immediately weighed and nodded.

“Professor, you have to eat. What would you like to eat? ”

“Tell me what you want to eat. I brought a car.”

When the reconstruction showed the appearance of leaving, the comrades came to Hyewon as if they were waiting.

The reconstruction turns and heads for the door.

“Oh, reconstruction. Stop.”

Hyejeon clapped his hands and called for reconstruction.

The reconstruction, which was just about to rotate with the door hook, returns to a neutral posture.

“Yes, Professor. ”

“I almost forgot. No, you give me a speech. ”

“Talk……? ”

“Yes, I want you to come to this freshman orientation and give a talk. ”

The reconstruction opened its eyes wide.

The frightening thing was that there was also one motive. Rather than the rebuilding of the parties, the reactions were much more severe.

One motivator, who had become pale before the chaotic daylight, was holding the corner of the desk with his hands as if it were hard to stand.

“I'll get you some gas. ”

The comet winces at one eye as it throws a joke.

However, the reconstruction could not give me an answer, but just cut out the trembling breath by breath.

‘Am I... speaking at a freshman orientation? ’

Honorary College orientation is not something you would underestimate as a college freshman welcome. Journalists from various literature and publishers visit each year to report and publish articles. The fact that I gave a talk here makes me a career for the author.

Not one of the graduates has given a lecture yet.

If you accept Hyejeon's request, reconstruction will be the first graduate to give a lecture.

“You don't like it?”

“No, Professor……. For a moment, I thought about what I might do. It's not enough, but I'll try hard. ”

Suddenly, I got over it, and the reconstruction replied. The eyes of his comrades were shaking like an earthquake.

“Thank you for the opportunity. ”

“Yes, we'll talk again soon. Go now."

The reconstruction bows to the comet once more and turns around. Filled with the gaze of his fiery comrades on his back, he smiled.

The first lecture of my life came from Professor Han Hye-sun.

I walked as lightly as I was proud and happy.

The whole world shined brightly.

‘Phew, there's still time. ’

Reconstruction back in the car got into the driver's seat and started.

From now on, it was time to go meet Dassle.

He used ‘gale fury’ and helped more than anyone else. I had to meet him today.

It seemed okay to pull the time a bit.

I had no other plans today than to meet Dassle. Reconstruction immediately took out his cell phone and called.

- Yeah, he's the writer's brother.

Dassle's lively voice made me smile on my own. Reconstruction responded with a cell phone tucked between the shoulders and ears and a seatbelt pulled down.

“Things ended sooner than I thought. Can we meet a little earlier? ”

I'm a bookstore now.

“Bookstores? Why bookstores? ”

- That's a reaction. If anyone's listening, it's like I've never read a book in my life.

“No, that's not what I meant……. ”

- It's getting serious again. I'm here to buy your book because I can't stand it. Heheheh heh.

“Huh? Don't buy it. I'm taking it with me now. ”

When he saw the ‘gale force' on the passenger seat, he rebuilt. I came out in the morning and bought it myself from a bookstore. The book was engraved with the sign for Dassle.

- Then come quickly. I'll be in the break room at Exit 4 station.

“Okay, I'll be there in half an hour. ”

Reconstruction hung up immediately grabbed the handle and stepped on Axel.

When I got off the road, I was very confused.

It was almost no different from the parking lot if there was an accident somewhere. Reconstruction was agitated, hammering the steering wheel with both hands.

“Oh, we're going to be late. Did you really have an accident? ”

I couldn't get there in the 30 minutes I promised Dassle.

Just then, the phone I left in the passenger seat vibrated.

It was a call from my sister Jae-in.

Reconstruction smiled brightly. I thought it must have been the right call after reading the copy of "Tornado" sent from the publisher to Suwon headquarters.

“How was it? Was it fun? ”

As soon as I got the call, I was asked to rebuild.

But shortly after, his face hardened as he laughed. He felt the voice of Jae-in squeezing through the gap in the radio waves.

“Sis, what's wrong? Is something wrong? ”

- Reconstruction... What to do...!

The face of the reconstruction, when I heard the next word, was bleeding.

As the signal turns green, the cars begin to move forward.

Reconstruction was bending the handle in the first line to urgently turn back.
