Big Life

15 - Keep barking (5)

“Phew……. ”

After listening to the story of the microscope, I had to sigh for reconstruction.

It was the writer's office at Bucheon Office.

Four people were sitting around the dining table, reconstructing, Min Ho, Eun-young, and even looking at the current center of conversation.

There was pizza for dinner on the table, but no one's touched it yet.

“So you're saying the stock is punctured? ”

“Yes……. It bothers me that the price keeps dropping...... even if I don't think about it... ”

The landscape did not lift its head properly, and the fish replied.

After investing all of the money received in pre-pay taxes, the event plummeted to -45%.

It was a terrible rumor that the public registry was not far away.

Moreover, there was a more serious problem.

He did what he called "waterboarding" to try to lower the average purchase price.

The additional 1 million won used here was loaned to parents who were poor.

This fact alone was so embarrassing that it was still hidden.

“You bastard, how much is that good tax...! Have you lost your mind? Why did you put your stock in it? ”

Minho spoke louder than usual.

It was because he was conscious of rebuilding with him.

He was afraid of how the reconstruction would react.

The phenomenon followed a passive excuse.

“For introducing me to such a great sport……. And these days my writing performance is not that good.... ”

Reconstruction snorted inside.

I'm making three times as much money as my debut, but I can't hear him at all because he's crying.

“And there were more places to spend money, and I know it was an excuse, but I was also depressed, so.... ”

“I understand.”

The reconstruction nods unexpectedly and cuts off the microscope.

I couldn't spare the thought of listening to the complaining of people who had nothing to do.

“I'm so sorry, Writer Ha. ”

“No, why are you apologizing to me? Apologize to the readers and to Jules. ”

The rebuilding tone is as cold as ice.

In front of the still falling head, he continued to speak frantically with an exaggerated smile.

“It doesn't matter whether you stock or not. It's individual freedom. But if you can't write about stocks, that's a problem. You're not a lone wolf. You signed with the Rapebooks. ”

“Yes……. ”

Reconstruction points fingers at the floor.

“This is the writer's office. a place where writers from Laptops write contracted articles. I never told you that you could have a domestic finance business. ”

The face of the microscope immediately turned pale.

Minho and Eun-young stared at the eyes of a sudden reconstruction and were unable to speak.

I've never seen a reconstruction so cold.

“I want three manuscripts by 9: 00 a.m. tomorrow. ”

“Yes…? ”

“If you can't, I'm really sorry, but I'd appreciate it if you could leave the office. ”

“ ……?! ”

The microscope opened its eyes to tear them apart.

On the contrary, Minho closed his eyes.

Somehow, I had this ominous feeling that the story would continue like this.

“I spoke to Jules before I got here. You've been postponing it for two weeks now, right? I'll spend the night at the office while I'm here. ”

When the horse is finished, a reconstruction takes off your cloak.

The phenomenon trembles like a man who was thrown out naked in the cold.

Reconstruction that I felt familiar with was becoming increasingly frightened.

The beating heart did not have any chance of slowing down.

‘Kicked out...?! ’

It was a phenomenon in which he was at risk of being expelled from the office, and his mistake became more apparent.

I barely have any cash, but if I get kicked out, where am I supposed to go?

“Do something, man. ”

“Yes, microscope. Use your words as a reminder, Writer. ”

Minho and Eun-young alternately encouraged me in the event that the reconstruction didn't listen.

The scope went to its place and activated the word program.

However, he sighed before placing ten fingers on the keyboard.

After two weeks of rest, I forgot all the details of the story.

Nothing came to mind that was dark in front of my eyes.

Tada-da-da-dak! Tada-dak!

Tadahak! Tadahak!

The sound of another writer's keyboard pounding constantly disturbs the view.

Everyone was working hard on their writings.

The microscope only repeated the words that never came out and erased them with a mind.

‘I should use it when it's hot... It's too cold! ’

* * *

When it was 9: 00 the next morning.

I stood up all night waiting as if I had just been writing all night.

The microscope sits head down in its place.

“How much did you spend? ”

“It's …… about 3,000 characters…"

“I told you to use three doses, 3,000 characters? It's only half the size. ”

Min Ho and Eun-young, who spent the night together because they were worried about the landscape, were only staring at their monitors.

I was thinking, ’I'm not really going to kick you out right now.'

The microscope stood up with a desperate face. Then, he reaches out to the reconstruction and opens his mouth.

“If you really give me one more day, I will give you three doses by tomorrow.... ”

“Over by the front door. ”

“…… Yes? ”

After the reconstruction had a cup of coffee, he suddenly pointed to the porch.

“You've been through a lot. Goodbye."

After a short speech, the reconstruction turned away from the view and turned its gaze to the monitor.

His ten fingers in fantasy work were already moving around on the keyboard. It seemed that the phenomenon had already been taken care of.

Min-ho cautiously spoke to her behind her back, noticing.

“Hey, Writer Ha. It's still cold and there's no reason for the microscope to enter the house.... ”

“Sorry, I'm working on it. I don't want to talk about it anymore. ”

Reconstruction cut Minho's words off in cold turn.

Honestly, I was going to skip it once I finished at least one dose.

And all night long, it's only 3,000.

I could only conclude that my mind was completely elsewhere.

“Thank you so much. ”

In the beginning, there was little baggage to be prepared to leave.

Minho and Eun-young glanced at each other.

At the end of the reconstruction, I did not give the microscope a single glance.

Harvest what you sow.

It meant the same thing to the writers in the office.

Minho and Eun-young who did not lose their integrity became increasingly polished. Occasionally, if it didn't work out, I could go to the movies together, and I could afford to buy a new computer.

“Oh my, Minho. Writer Ha, there's another story out there. Best seller!”

“Really? Wow, that's Vandy and Lunia's best! I heard this will blow up your sales volume! ”

The author who had achieved the greatest harvest was rebuilding.

Myeong-seok kept his promise.

"Summer of 20 years old" was ranked as Vandi and Lunia's best seller 9 just six days after his promise.

Myeongseok actively harnessed the power of the conglomerate publishing group to aggressive and colorful marketing.

He was still thirsty.

I didn't intend to be satisfied with this level of satisfaction from the start. The skill of reconstruction of the author, which he judged, has not yet begun.

[Monster Goddess Hae Hae, I take it you were a second-timer?]

[The praise of the readers who pour into the ‘summer of twenty years old’ is no exception. In the spring rain on the Korean mystery novel market, which was the color of the drought... ….]

[Rank 9th in Vandi & Lunia's Best Seller ‘Summer of 20 Years. This is very unusual for a new writer…….]

In various internet news, SNS, and radio, he argued in front of the propaganda of the reconstructive author.

After the exhausted first plate, the augmented shrapnel freezes at the same speed as light.

Netizens complained that they couldn't buy because they were out of stock.

3 chains…… 4 chains…… 5 chains…… 6 chains…….

The ‘20-year-old summer' repeated the distillation without rest.

The upward curve in sales continued steeply.

Even joking stories about the speed at which books were sold were faster than the speed at which they were produced were appearing.

* * *

Early spring days when even the petal glands are cold.

Reconstruction was still writing in his studio today.

It was harder for me to just relax without writing. I couldn't endure the pain without using something.

“Meow.”

Lika, looking out the window frame, leaps to the side of the rebuilding laptop.

Lika tapped the back of the reconstructive hand on the keyboard with her front foot.

When the reconstruction did not respond, he licked his cheek with a bitter tongue.

“Don't. What's the matter again? ”

“Meow, meow…. ”

“You want to go outside? What kind of cat do you like going out like a dog? ”

Reconstruction stopped writing, stroked Lika and asked.

Suddenly, I remembered his grave that I hadn't been to for a while. It was the biggest reason I didn't want to leave this area.

“Yes, I've seen you for a while. Let's clean up and come back. ”

Reconstruction took tools, including weed scissors, and put on shoes. I left the front door and got a call from Myung Seok.

“Yes, Editor. ”

- Good morning, sir. Have you had lunch?

“I'm going to eat after work for a while. ”

- Hahaha, yeah. Oh, I see.

Myeong-seok didn't even smile, but he laughed from the beginning of the call.

The reconstruction that had been experienced by him had also felt that something good had happened.

- Sir, I have good news.

“My foresight has risen. ”

Premonition?

“Somehow the editor's voice is clear. You called me for a good reason, that's what I thought. ”

- Uh-huh, yeah. That's right, it's a really good thing. Don't be alarmed, sir. In one month, the summer, 20 years old, reached 200,000 copies.

“Yes? 200,000? ”

The reconstruction stops as you go down the stairs.

I heard from Myeongseok that I was distilling in succession.

However, the volume I had anticipated was 100,000 units.

It was because I did not realize how powerful the publishing group was.

- Yes, 200,000 copies. If you pour 200,000 in the first month, you can expect a million. The teacher's writing is very much in the works. I wanted to congratulate and thank you.

“No… this…… is……. ”

The rebuilding was as excited and delighted as the spring day, and the words were not easy to connect.

“It's all thanks to your extensive support. I have to thank you. ”

- More surprises in the future. I won't get excited in advance in case you get distracted. Just a hint: Copyright sale for second generation.

“Ah… yes. ”

Reconstruction immediately understood and laughed without a sound.

Among the novels I have written so far, there is only one "modern rock" made by webtoons.

What kind of 20-year-old summer will be recreated?

Could it be made into a drama or a movie so I could watch it with my family?

- I'll get back to you. Enjoy your lunch, sir.

“Yes, enjoy your meal, too. ”

Reconstruction picked up the phone after a few more conversations.

Suddenly, there was a grave in Seo Gun-woo's eyes. The grave was clean again today because it was trimmed regularly.

“Spring is here, sunbae. Is it warm?”

Reconstruction puts Lika on the ground and greets the great president. Warm sunlight was pouring down on their heads.
