Big Life

16 - Learn what you don't know (1)

The handsome beauty of the ‘Author's Library' presenter Hye-sang was shining brightly on the screen.

In the center of the four seats in the studio were comets and reconstructions, and on the left was Chalin of the group apple and Kim Dae-ik, the literary critic.

“If you look at a summer when you're 20 years old, I don't think you've done a lot of research. What did you actually go through? ”

“We did everything we could to get information around us. One of them was a forensic scientist, and a friend of my father's was very helpful. ”

Reconstruction was answering calmly.

The PD in the control room unexpectedly looked back at the steps and spoke out.

“You're not nervous, are you? ”

“Yeah. I think I was a little frozen when I was at home. Rather, they do better in the studio. Wonderful.”

“I want you to have a lot of fun with Mr. Charyn. If you don't draw, we'll go back to the script. ”

“But what's wrong with Chae Rin's face today? Are you in bad shape?”

“I'm telling you. Do you have a reason for being so nervous in your literature? It's not live.”

In fact, Charin was nervous, no matter what they said.

Not as well as when the group was ranked # 1 in the flexibility program for the first time, but it was true that my throat was burning the whole time.

His hand continues to hold the bottled water.

One topic was answered.

It led to a question of critics' self-interest.

“Summer, 20 years old, has a million copies in front of her. in the inevitable recession of the publishing industry and consumers. What do you think?”

“Korean mystery readers have seen the power. that if you do your best, you'll recognize it. Only genres of foreign famous writers are dominated by the realities of the marketplace, and I just want to thank you for your willingness to open your wallet to my work, which still hasn't taken off my rookie tie. ”

When I finished answering, I sighed deeply because my heart felt better.

If the script had not been given in advance, it would have been a formal answer that reads a lot and is thankful.

Charming succeeded.

She swallows her saliva once and looks at the reconstruction and asks.

“The 20-year-old summer film is due to be released later this summer and is accelerating production. As an original writer, are you involved in anything else? ”

“I only chose one of the screenwriters you introduced. ”

“You mean you don't write scenarios yourself? ”

“After interacting with many different opinions, we decided it would be best to work with the right person who is good at writing scenarios but also good at working with the right supervisor. ”

“Yes, and another subject that can be a little sensitive. Boarding is becoming a topic. As the author of a domestic novel, the first billboard you get is worth 200 million won. What do you think?”

“I am very grateful that you have recognized the value of the author who is me more than the amount. My editor over there played a big role. ”

That said, the reconstruction turned to the side of the limelight standing outside the studio.

Myeong-seok slightly raises one hand with a bitter smile.

“Hmmm, yes... I see. ”

Chaerin nods and replies.

The script ends here.

Of course, the PD didn't want her answer to end here.

“Come on, we need more. Keep drawing the story. Tell me something fun. It's a lot.”

Seeing Chae Rin sitting like a mute who ate honey on the screen, the child got on the PD. Before recording, I also made it clear that I would ask you to tell me as many stories as possible. I was frustrated with where the liveliness of being a group leader and sitting like a statue.

Right then.

In the screen, Charyn's eyes were frozen and radiant.

Immediately, she lowered the script and asked the reconstruction questions.

“What do you think of casted actors? ”

“I am very satisfied. In particular, I have a lot of faith in Park Do-joon. I didn't know him very well because I hardly ever watch TV. I almost saw all of Park Do-joon's works by pushing this opportunity. I'm so relieved that you're acting so well and so handsome. ”

Chaerin's face suddenly turns pale.

He is only a minority of his boyfriends, including his representative and manager. I was so glad to hear the praise from my favorite writer that I even forgot about the broadcast.

The words of reconstruction followed.

“I've actually seen you at the station before. ”

“Oh, you did? ”

“Yes, on the Mo Radio station.... ”

The step of mentioning the program name was fine, and the rebuilding was speaking again.

“I happened to run into him in the hallway on writer's night. I thought he looked very familiar, but later, it was Park Do-joon. ”

Chaerin's chest is hammered.

There wasn't one or two things I wanted to talk about. But they were just words that could not be put together in front of the broadcast camera.

‘Ugh, what should I do with the question? I want to go public with Joon. ’

While charlene figures out how to keep asking questions. Reconstruction takes a quick look around and speaks in a light tone.

“By the way, Chae Rin has seen you before. ”

“Ah……. ”

“I was so glad to hear you were late when you came to the signing with your sunglasses on. ”

“Ufuhu, yes. I was passing by with the manager at the time. We thought it was an opportunity that we couldn't miss, so we went undercover. Were you surprised?”

“I was amazed. If I'd just stayed awake a little bit longer and looked at it there, I could have exchanged autographs. If you're done recording today, please don't hesitate. ”

Another round of applause came from the Control Room's PD.

“Yeah, that's it. Keep it that way and say it. Editing is what we do, so go ahead. ”

Chae Lin did not give up on PD's expectations.

After speaking to Joon, she regained her usual sparkling freshness and continued her conversation with Yeonggepu.

“My members love your novel. The whole summer was read by a stupid woman and 20 years old. ”

“Ah-ha, you're not forcing me to read as a team leader, are you? ”

“No way. What an equitable leader I am. Your sisters would have posted your work on SNS. Check back later. ”

Reconstruction and Charin continued the conversation for a long time.

The PD and the steps, with more scenes to salvage, were single. Reconstruction also endured hours of recording after forgetting fatigue.

After some rest.

The last order was followed by the words of the statue.

“It's the last corner of someone else's eye. Let's take a look at some of the pieces that Hae Hae Hae Re has prepared for you today. Mr. Haejeong?”

“Yes, this is it. ”

Reconstruction brought out a novel titled "The Desert of You."

The close-up bookcase filled the studio with large screens. Myeong-seok hasn't looked this way yet in replying to his direct reports' messages.

“The title is by Myeongseok, the author of the desert you are in. ”

“ ……?! ”

I looked around the studio because Myeong-seok was frightened.

It was not a mistake to hear. The book in the hands of the reconstruction was clearly "The Desert of You." Reconstruction was taking place in front of the white bored stone.

“The sentence goes out like a literary award-winning piece. The flow of emotions, visible to two key figures in the book, Haeul and Minhee, was also impeccable. ”

Reconstruction unfolds the first chapter of the book.

Thanks to this, I was able to see a picture engraved on the front wing of the book. A young man wearing thick horn-rimmed glasses smiles brightly.

“Minhee was a woman in the desert. A woman named Minhee had various attributes in the desert. Her day and night were very different, as were the days and nights of the desert, and her personality was extreme, as were the stinging heat and the freezing cold. It really teared me up to see Minhee, a desert city, struggling to find a mirage. ”

Myeong-seok turns his head away and mutters.

A relic of a long forgotten past. The conveniences of the past that were buried in the drawer with the old pictures were pouring in.

“The one who came at that time is Haeul. He said to her, The desert is the path you walk on. One of his words, a poor worker, is going to save Minhee's life in the current world. ”

Myeong-seok leans back against the wall and takes off his glasses.

I couldn't get out without pressing my finger against my nose. A little bitter smile was hidden in his mouth.

* * *

“Thank you.”

The way back after the broadcast.

The reconstruction bowed its head to Chae Lin and thanked her.

“Not just today, but in the meantime, thank you so much for everything. I'm glad I got a chance to tell you this. ”

“Is this what you want? ”

“Yes?”

The reconstruction opened its eyes wide and raised its head.

Chaelin quickly examines the manager's presence, standing at a distance, and says as if he is troubled.

“Do I need this? You should at least buy some food if you're thankful. ”

“Ah, that's...”

“What is it? Don't you want to buy me food? ”

The reconstruction looks like a bludgeoning.

“No, you're a celebrity. ”

“What's wrong with celebrities? ”

“Of course I'd like to treat you if I could. But celebrities are very busy. Apples are very popular. ”

Chaelin unraveled and burst a smile and lightly slapped the rebuilding shoulder.

“No matter how busy you are, you don't have time to eat? Starve to death?”

Chaelin shrugs.

Reconstruction immediately took the phone out of his pocket. I called her number and she said she'd return my phone.

“I'm sure we'll have something to eat soon. I get bored a lot, so when you're free, spit it out. ”

“Hmmm, yeah…. ”

“Well, besides me, I have another fan. ”

“Another one? Oh, you're one of the Apples? ”

Charin covers his mouth and smiles at the mat. He slaps the rebuilding shoulder a little harder than before.

“You look forward to it. I like your novel as much as I do, but I don't know if I can come with you. I'll come back to that then. ”

The manager who was waiting then approached behind his back and spoke to him.

“Charina, we have to go now. ”

“I was going to go now, so go in carefully. ”

“Have a nice day, Chapin and the manager. ”

“Yes, sir. It was an honor to meet you. ”

The manager politely greets the reconstruction and then takes Charyn away to the van.

Reconstruction also turned to the side where his car was parked.

“Huh? Editor? ”

Next to the rebuilding car, Myeong-seok, who thought he had left earlier, stood as if waiting. He smiled and offered to rebuild.

“How about dinner with me tonight? ”

“Oh, yes. Good.”

Reconstruction agreed without a word.

You can eat with Somi tomorrow.

I introduced Myeong-seok's work on the broadcast and couldn't refuse it.

When they arrived at the solar eclipse promised by their tea, they sat down and poured a glass.

Over time, the rebuilding surprised me. Myung Seok, who didn't like drinking very much, was taking the cup to his mouth.

“Hey, Editor. ”

“Go ahead, sir. ”

“I was wondering if I made you uncomfortable. ”

Myeong-seok shakes his head and smiles.

“What writer in the world would dislike recommending his or her work? Thank you very much. That's why I'm serving you dinner. ”

After pouring the glass of reconstruction, Myung Seok asked.

“But how...... did you know? ”

“Internet search. ”

That's how the reconstruction reached out to the Desert of Yourself with both hands. The masterpiece who received the book signed it beautifully and gave it back.

“He's a great guy. Soon you'll have a big publishing group. ”

“Like it or not, I have to be a manager. ”

“As expected, you're the eldest son. ”

“It's not like that. ”

I shook my head with a sad smile.

“I don't deserve to be a writer or an editor. And that's why we're trying to escape into the business realm. ”

Reconstruction made no sense to me.

Reconstruction, which read "The Desert of You," acknowledged the talents of literacy, not just in the realm of editors.

And you don't deserve it?

There must be a story, but I can't ask.

“Ha, sir. I'm sorry, do you mind if I call my deputy today? ”

Reconstruction smiled and recommended the bottle.

“I'll call you too. Have some.”

“Thank you.”

My phone rang just before I made a toast with a full glass.

After answering the call, he turned half his body, shared a few words, and hung up with a smile.

“Congratulations, Hah. ”

“What is it this time? ”

“We've achieved a million copies. Vandi and Lunia are also the top sellers. I don't think I'll be going down there all year. ”

The two of them smashed the cup forcefully.

As spring night deepens, the bottle becomes empty in a row and the laughter only grows louder.
