Big Life

15 - Keep barking (3)

“I'm sorry. I can't afford to write a manuscript because I'm being asked to." I'll contact you if I have any ideas. Yes, thanks. ”

As soon as I hung up, my phone rang again.

I was just about to eat noodles with Jinjin. Due to the ongoing phone call, the reconstruction has not eaten a single chopstick.

“Hello? Oh, yes... A talk? I'm really sorry, but I'm really sorry about that. We have a lot to prepare for. ”

While the reconstruction was on the phone, Jinjin ate all the ramen by himself and moved the empty bowl to the number.

The ramen of reconstruction had already cooled down with a thick stubble of noodles like Wodong.

“I'm sorry, really. Why are all these calls coming at once? ”

The reconstruction after finishing the call said in a sighing voice.

“I don't know if I should really change my phone number. ”

“Where did you get your contact information? ”

“Here's what I want to ask. Emails are worse. ”

Calls have increased since the ‘20-year-old summer' advertisement began in large numbers.

Most of them were full-length and short plaintiff solicitations, but there were few requests for lectures from small and medium enterprises or public agencies.

It is certainly a pleasure to have many people acknowledge your abilities and ask you for work.

But I couldn't digest that many requests with one body.

Above all, the reconstruction was exhausting.

I put all my strength into writing 'Summer of 20 Years Old’.

The fatigue accumulated all over my body, including neck and wrist pain, has not yet gone halfway.

“Pick a few good things to talk about. ”

As he sat back down, Jinjin said,

“How many hundreds of hours of lectures are you willing to give? I'd do it right away. I don't get my paycheck in one day. ”

“It was hard for me to talk to freshmen in orientation. I really feel like I've been discharged since I was 20 this summer. I need to rest for a while.”

Reconstruction picked up chopsticks with ramen chopsticks.

Before the stubborn noodles were carried away with their mouths, they knocked and cut off.

Jinjin took the bowl of ramen and poured it all over the basin.

“Why waste it if you can eat it? ”

“Don't be so dramatic. Just boil a new one. No, now that I think about it, this is not the problem……. ”

Instead of Jinjin speaking, he tugged his tongue away as if to look around the cramped studio of reconstruction.

“What is it with you making so much money and still renting this cramped studio? Let's move. ”

“There's enough here. ”

“You, too, but don't you think it's frustrating for Lika? ”

“I don't have the necklace for that right now. I spent most of it living alone in the water. From now on, we have to collect more incoming sales. ”

“So get out of here. ”

“Maybe we should just take a break and write. ”

“Go ahead, do whatever you want. By the way, since the signing ceremony morning, you are a popular writer who boils noodles with his friends in the studio...! ”

Today is the day of the rebuilding 'Summer of Twenty Years’ signing ceremony. The reason Jinjin came was also because of the signing ceremony. Unfortunately, this time I also signed a meeting at Vandi and Lunia headquarters, just like in 'Hurricane Wrath.’

“Hey, put some clothes on. ”

Jinjin took water from the pot and put it in the electric range. In contrast to the suit, the reconstruction was still wearing dreary training clothes.

Reconstruction was disgusting, looking at the truth that was tearing a sachet of new ramen.

“Thank you.”

“One hundred thousand won for boiling. ”

“No noodles. Thanks for coming again today. ”

“I just came here because I don't have work to do on holidays. Don't be noisy. Just get dressed. ”

“Got it.”

Reconstruction took off his training clothes and changed into a fancy suit hanging on the wall.

It was a gift from Jae-in. I wanted to wear jeans to a comfortable shirt, but I couldn't ignore my sister's virtue.

“It doesn't look real. ”

Jinjin whispered a joke.

I was talking about reconstructing ramen while sitting on the floor in a suit.

Reconstruction did not suck the noodles off the lid, but burst a giggle.

“Cherin, stop reading and close your eyes. ”

“It's okay, I slept for five hours yesterday. It's not hard to miss a personal appointment until tomorrow. ”

Spacious backseat of a van in the driveway.

Chae Rin was reading 'Summer of 20 Years Old’ in a more relaxed posture than anyone else in the world.

By pre-booking, she had already read more than half of them.

“Wow. This writer is really interesting.... ”

Chaerin mutters in admiration.

I became the leader of the group of popular girls within three fingers in the country, but I did not lose affection for writing. I liked both reading and writing in the beginning. She also made her own decision to study national literature.

“How long does it take to write this much? ”

The manager was not interested in the book. I looked back at him once with a dark look, and there was nothing else.

“If you have time, read it. This writer is really good at writing. ”

“I'm the same as Joon. I can't fall asleep once I open the book. There's been a car accident."

“An excuse would be nice. ”

Chaerin lowers the book for a moment, her wrist twitching and restoring her posture. Then he picked up his phone and searched for the name of Hae Hae Hae Hae Hae.

She mutters, gazing at the passively overlooked profile.

“You got the honorary window? I wanted to be here a long time ago. ”

Finger with red nail polish clicked on Twitter on profile

Reconstruction tweets popped up on the phone screen.

“ ……! ”

Immediately, Charyn's eyes fluttered.

“Brother, did you come to bed? ”

“Well, it's a little crowded. Why?”

“Let's stop by Vandi and Lunia for a moment. ”

“Do you have any books? I buy it on the Internet.”

“I want to buy it right away. Orders take a long time. ”

“Okay, then. I'll be back in the car. ”

“No, I'll go myself. ”

“What?"

The manager looks back, frowning.

Charyn was already fully prepared.

Just by covering the placenta of my face with sunglasses and mask, I put pressure on my hat.

“You don't have a problem with this look, do you? ”

“Charina, I want you to know all the fans you're going to recognize. ”

“I'm going to Huddah. It won't take five minutes. ”

Chae Rin won in the end.

The manager parks the car in the parking lot and carefully steps down, looking around. An elongated coat was also wrapped around the body to hide the combination of broadcast wears of siru and hotpants.

‘Haha, I feel like a spy. ’

Chaelin giggles with a mask on her face, but she doesn't slow down. I quickly entered the Vandi and Lunia headquarters.

"Wow, there's so many people! ’

The signing of the reconstruction, which began in the middle of the bookstore, was underway in the Holy Land.

Charyn moves quickly to the end of the long rope.

‘It's a good thing it just started.... ’

Chae Lin counted the number of readers standing in front of her one by one.

About 50 left.

It was dark in front of me. I thought it would take at least 30 minutes. I couldn't wait that long.

“Hmm?"

He looks still and sees another row forming to the left of the line.

It was a very short line, roughly 5-6 people.

Chaerin carefully asks the man in front of her.

“Hey, I'm sorry, what's that line? ”

“Oh, that's a line of 20-year-old summer signatures standing in line. ”

“Yes? And what is this line? ”

“These are the people who are signed by the genre novels of the so-called Plenty of Oil. Summer is a priority for 20-year-olds, so you have to go first, and then you have to go second. ”

“Ah, yes. Thank you."

Chaerin nods, calling for joy, and moves to a short rope.

The man tilts his head toward the back of her face, even though he is wearing sunglasses and a mask.

“Yes, brother? No, it's only three minutes. Okay, don't rush me. I'll really be there in three minutes. ”

I hung up on the manager, and Chae Lin waited nervously, rolling her feet. Fortunately, it didn't take too long, so her turn came.

“Welcome. ”

“Sign here, please. ”

Charin smiled in his mask and handed him the 'summer of twenty years old’. After receiving the book, the reconstruction looks at her face and speaks with a soft smile.

“Did you catch a cold? ”

“Oh, no. Just a little bit of dust? ”

“Haha, yes. What's your name, sir? ”

After a moment of thought, Charin uttered her real name in a very small voice.

“Icharine.”

Reconstruction opened the book and signed without showing any reaction.

I was very busy because of my continuous sign.

I didn't think it would be Charming, the leader of the Appletes.

‘It's worth it. You look sharp. ’

Charin's eyes, hidden behind the sunglasses, were looking at the face of the reconstruction that was seriously signing.

It was just as Joon's boyfriend said that the real thing was better than the picture.

The cause of death quickly ended while I looked at my dark, thin hair, slim chin line, straight nose, and solemnly shiny eyes and lips one by one.

“Here, thank you so much for coming. ”

“Well done, Writer. I read it all the time. ”

“Yes, goodbye. ”

Charyn returns to the van, loving the book with her signature on it.

The manager sees her getting in the car and tries to call her again, putting her phone down.

“Are we done here? ”

“Oh, brother. We can go.”

The started-up van slid out of the parking lot.

Chaelin takes off her sunglasses and mask and calls JooJoon.

- What the hell?

“I'm sorry, really. What's the big deal as soon as you get it? ”

- You know it's photo day. Where are you?

“We're going back to the station. Did I just get Hae-won's autograph? ”

Who's that?

“Are you kidding me? Even the tempest! ”

- Ah... Writer? So, what?

“Well, I called to brag. No one recognized me because I was wearing a mask. I got it under my real name."

- Yeah, you just sign autographs, and this time you'll feel fresh.

“I've read all about this summer when I was 20. I'll give it to you when I see you tonight, so be sure to read it, too. It's so much fun."

- I haven't finished reading the gale or anything.

“Read it quickly. I want you to read a lot. That way we'll have something to talk about. Don't you think reading a lot of good books is going to help you act? ”

Did you say everything you wanted to say? We have to get out of here.

JooJoon answered bluntly.

Chaerin flaps her cheeks and rolls her eyes out the window.

“And he looked okay, just like you said. He was my type.”

- Yeah, yeah. Why don't you tell her we're going out? Hang up.

“Brother? Brother! ”

The irritation didn't work at all and the phone was disconnected.

Chaerin sticks out her mouth and throws her phone into the back seat.

The driver manager was giggling.

“What's so funny? ”

“Sorry, by the way, is Joon seeing you today? ”

“I don't know what would happen if I didn't want to see it. ”

“If you get an appointment, tell me in advance. Don't run into him so suddenly. I'm really mad at her. ”

“Okay, okay. ”

Charyn picks up her thrown cell phone again.

On second thought, there was still work to be done.

She opens the page for the reconstruction and takes a camera with her face.

It was called an authentication shot.

* * *

“Rebuild, the signing ceremony is cleaner than ever. ”

“Thank you for being so thorough and organized. ”

While taking a break, the reconstruction exchanged conversations with the truth.

Today's cause and effect were similar to that of the past, with more than seven readers seeking to be signed to the genre novel of abundant oil.

“You better get ready for the second round. ”

Seeing the long line, the sincere words said.

The reconstruction narrows its glabella and grins and rubs its hands alternately under the table. The crowd is already coming even though I'm signing with as little force as possible.

“Huh? What is this? ”

I suddenly changed the look of sincerity looking at my phone.
