Big Life

15 - Keep barking (10)

“ ……?! ”

Somi's heart sank.

I have been subjected to all sorts of language attacks since I started "pulling my head," but I can still easily endure them.

But what I heard was different.

Mild was literally demanding to leave.

“Don't you know that one Mr. Somi is making a mess of the company? Writers leak their lines, sales keep dropping, they don't do anything, they spend their money on entertainment. Do you want me to put gold on the ticket today? How dare you dismiss me as editor of Starbooks! ”

Somi drops her head and shudders.

Today's mistake is, of course, your own fault, and we are sensing it thoroughly.

However, the rest of the stories were honest enough to bring tears to my eyes.

I couldn't boast of being the best, but I worked hard.

Over and over again, I digested more than my quota until I reached my fitness limit.

Writer's hospitality was only once a month, and the price of 14,000 won for two Japanese persons was all she spent in the company.

‘Tired bastard...! ’

This surrogate, who was behind his back, cursed him in boiling water.

I couldn't bear the sight of Somi trembling like a thorn bush.

“Phew, who am I supposed to trust to take the editor? ”

As if I was disgusted, I went back to my seat and sat down.

He glances at Somi, who is still standing.

“One or two Rooftop Necromancers will be edited by tomorrow morning. ”

“ ……. ”

Somi couldn't answer, and the surrogate's face was bleeding.

This is a new piece that has never been sent to school.

Even if four people stick together, it won't be easy to finish editing in a day.

I knew it was impossible, but did I really intend to fire him by giving this order?

“Mr. Jung-soo, can't you hear me? ”

“Got it… ”

“You got it? Huh, damn it. ”

Kyungwook left the office with his clothes again.

Today was a day without a national treasure as a representative and father.

On days like this, I used to spend the placenta outside of the day wondering what was so busy.

“Somi, what are you going to do? ”

As soon as he stepped out, this surrogate grabbed the chair.

Somi smiled and replied.

“I have to work late. Home coms are low specifications. ”

“Is this what you're going to do alone? ”

Right then.

Sitting quietly, a surrogate stands up, scratching the back of his head.

Even when I used to look up to my editor and admire Somi and the underlings, this moment was not easy to pass up.

“Somi, can I help you? ”

“Oh my gosh, what's going on with you? ”

“Maybe we can help each other out. I've had a lot of help from Somi... ”

Another employee stood out beyond the partition.

“I'll help you. ”

“Representative Yoon? Did you finish the Vampire Maid? ”

“It'll be over in two hours. Mr. Somi, can I buy you something delicious later? ”

Tears welled up from Somi's eyes, dropping her head.

I was thankful to my colleagues for reaching out for help, and the snow rose quickly.

“You have to cry before you cry. Don't you ever stop? ”

This surrogate soothes the child, shrugging her shoulders.

After a while, Somi shakes her head, smiling widely with a wet face.

“I'll do it on my own. ”

“Somi……. ”

“If everyone can help us, we can make it through tomorrow morning, but then we'll have another problem. Whatever the outcome, I think I should do it alone. Thank you so much for your words. But I'll take care of it. ”

Somi told me that everyone woke up from a dream and came back to reality.

There is nothing I can do to help.

It's not going to make them feel better.

Rather, you will only inflict more pain on Somi.

In the beginning, the static that followed seemed to say that this is what work life was like.

Tadahak! Tadahak! Ta-da!

Somi was left alone in the office struggling.

Eight o'clock.

Except for Somi's seat, the lighted office was dark.

All I could hear was the beating.

“Somi, stop it and come out. ”

“ ……?! ”

Suddenly, Somi's voice startles and raises her head.

I was coming into the office with a grim expression.

“Get your bags and come out. Let's have dinner.”

“It's okay. I'm not hungry. ”

“I was really bad back there. Let's have a quiet dinner and talk about the return of the editor. ”

Somi was confused.

It was a different atmosphere from what had been bothering me for a while.

“Come on.”

To be honest, I didn't want to have dinner together.

I also heard about your flirtation with this representative.

But this is a precious job, and he's a boss.

Somi, who was still a beginner, had to get up on her feet.

He took Somi to a fusion restaurant in a building arcade restaurant.

He didn't even ask about Somi's intentions, but ordered three kinds of tuna, a side dish and sake.

“Have a drink. ”

“No, I can't work when I drink. ”

“How are you going to do that by yourself until tomorrow? Forget it, I've said it before. Now, come on. ”

Somi was reluctant to drink and toasted.

After looking at the slightest slight scourge, Somi sensed that she already had a masterpiece.

My face was full of tears.

It was dark in my office, so I didn't recognize it.

“Somi, let's work together. ”

I poured my drink into an empty glass.

I said, "You're the boss. Including in-house relationships. I know you're working hard. But we don't have enough leads. Well, it's only the first year, so let's say. Well, I know. ”

Suddenly, I reached my arm out onto the table.

Then I grabbed Somi's hand, holding the cup.

Somi is frightened and frozen with her hands held.

“My hands are so cold.... Isn't it hydrophobic? He wears gloves at work, too. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me everything. Okay?"

As her spine cooled, Somi realized.

Humans are animals that never change easily.

A tremor that started from my toes covered my whole body.

Mildly, the other hand reached out and held Somi's hand down with both hands.

“Shall we just drink here and go on to the second round? I know a good bar. On second thought, I don't know what Mr. Somi likes, except for work. Hahaha.”

Right then.

The mobile phone that was on the table shook and the liquid crystal lit up.

Somi stared at the name on the screen.

The three letters "Harebuilding" were engraved clearly on her two pupils.

What are you doing? You're an editor. "

‘Can I have some canned goods? ’

‘It's worth it. It's a little small, but let's go. ’

"You draw this well, but you don't have the talent? Isn't that a little short notice, Mr. Somi? ’

‘Writer…! ’

Like the stars in the night sky, many faces and voices of reconstruction began to rush into her head.

At the same time, the chills disappeared like a lie and my whole body stopped trembling.

Remembering the existence of rebuilding by my side was starting to give me more courage.

Immediately after, Somi gave her finger full strength.

Boss!

“Yay, yay, yay!”

I opened my eyes to the air, screaming in a single voice.

While the attention of the guests was focused, Somi stood up, snapping her fingers.

“Ouch, Mr. Somi, the cow! All of a sudden...! ”

I was dragged to the side of the dance table like a man who pooped his pants with his fingers broken in his hands.

After gazing at her lips, Somi raised her other hand and slapped her cheeks.

Boom!

“Huff?! ”

His head twisted.

I was about to experience the spark of fire in front of my eyes.

This was not the end.

Today, Somi's sharp shoe, not his usual round sneaker, slapped his shin hard.

Out of the way!

“Ugh…! ”

I knelt on the floor of the restaurant without being able to support my heavy body.

Now, customers around me were watching Somi's reactions, not just throwing their eyes, but standing up.

“Wouldn't you do that at that age? He doesn't snore as much as he does, and he's the only reason he's the main son. You're too incompetent to even call me editor. You know what? ”

“W-what is this…?! ”

He rubbed his cheeks and shins, each with both hands, and was zinc in color.

I felt like this moment was a dream.

What was Somi doing to herself that she thought was always so stubborn?

“It's not like we don't have a lot of work to do. Push it hard, flirt with the girls. Thank you for helping me relax. Please wake up. You have to edit your personality, not your work. ”

Someone in the bar jumped up and clapped like thunder.

He was a worker with a long tie.

The workers who seemed to have followed him around cheered and applauded. Everyone was relieving the stress at work through Somi.

“Well done, then. Enjoy your leftover tuna. ”

Somi takes her bag and leaves the restaurant.

A drunkard was still unconscious and approached Kyouk, who was lying on the ground.

Then he spread his lips and cursed. Then he squeezed and put a drink on his face.

“What the fuck are you doing?! ”

Within the castle began the grip of a drunkard.

And…….

Somi was bravely going through Seoul's streets at night with her own strength.

I decided not to be afraid of anything anymore.

Thinking there's reconstruction at the end of this road, she doesn't slow down her efforts.

* * *

The EBC program ‘The Author's Library’ filming began as planned in the Rebuilding Studio.

The narrow room was closed.

He was accompanied by the EBC Announcer and host Park Hye-Sang as well as PD, Steps and Myeong-seok.

Many cars were crowded in front of the building.

“When did you start writing? ”

A comet dressed in a pretty dress asked.

As an EBC signage announcer, intelligent beauty was born from the looks and voices.

The face-to-face reconstruction was unfamiliar with the beauty of the statue and the camera facing itself, but continued to answer wholeheartedly.

“Not because of my homework, but because of my own will, I think it's probably my first time in middle school. ”

“What was it? Was it a novel?”

“Could it be a novel…… It was an unspoken novel with classmates. It was a modern school, not a middle school. I used to love the movie Volcano. Do you know?”

The comet smiles and nods.

“I know. It was very groundbreaking at the time, wasn't it? ”

“Yes, it was a parody novel. Almost copied it. She was excited to wear it alone and asked me to show her off. They say it's fun, they hold the boat, they laugh, they read it. Then suddenly, all the classmates turned around.... ”

From the beginning of the statue, everyone in the room was smiling.

“I'm having fun because my friends are having fun. My classmates were my first readers. So I kept writing. Usually I draw cartoons, and I turn them around, and I write because I can't draw cartoons. ”

As time went on, tension subsided and the atmosphere of reconstruction became more comfortable.

It was no different from when I published "Stupid Woman" last year and covered it with Navin.

“I'm going to rest for 15 minutes. ”

It was time for a break, and the reconstruction came out of the studio with the bright seats.

The two people coming out of the back of the quiet building had a conversation while drinking the coffee in their hands.

“It's a 20-minute broadcast, and I have more questions than I thought. ”

“That's the way it is. But it'll be over in an hour. Just a little more, sir. ”

It doesn't end today.

There is still a 30-minute program recording scheduled for the rest of the studio.

It will probably be longer than it is now.

“Ah, sir. You haven't heard about the panel, have you? ”

“Yes, not yet. Is it fixed?”

I took the coffee to my mouth when I was reconstructed.

In response, he almost spilled coffee in his mouth.
