16 - Learn what you don't know (10)
“Mom, McRock Squid sells here. ”
“Sounds delicious. Let's have a potato, too. ”
The rest stop on the side of Yeongdong Expressway was crowded with crowds.
Jae-in and her maiden of honor were also mixed among them.
“Hey, Jae-in. Do you want me to buy you a toast? ”
“We should get there and eat. Not toast. Waffle lion, Mom. ”
The mother buys a bunch of snacks and returns to the car. The stone, sitting on his knee, fell asleep, opened his eyes.
“Honey, have a potato. ”
“I'm going to eat when I get there. Why so much...? ”
The horse was a stone that took a potato and put it in his mouth.
It's been a long time since the whole family went on a trip together. Nam and Jae-in's mother were particularly excited.
“Where's the reconstruction? ”
“Looks like he went to the bathroom. ”
When the stone answered like that, the reconstruction was coming out of the toilet.
His expression was not bright enough to walk slowly. It was because the unfinished scenario kept bothering me.
‘I was in a hurry to travel. ’
It was because of her.
I decided to leave work for a few days and return to my tired body and mind.
But after I left, I was already nervous. I took out my laptop and heard it twelve more times throughout the drive of my urge to use the scenario.
‘Forget it, forget it. It's a great trip. ’
Reconstruction shakes its head vigorously as if it were a way to get rid of misunderstanding.
It's not worth taking a trip just because you keep thinking like this. While he was traveling, he insisted on forgetting everything, and he returned to his car.
“You're here already? ”
Reconstruction got into the driver's seat and asked.
Jae-in the passenger seat put a squid leg in his mouth.
“Do you want some potatoes? Or waffles. ”
“Enough. I'll eat when I get there. Why did you buy so much? ”
“How can you say the same thing without being different from your father? There's a rice boat and a snack boat, so that's fine. ”
“Sure. Let's go again. ”
The started-up car exits the rest stop and starts running on the highway.
The destination was the East Sea. The Navigation has indicated that we are close to arrival. The stay was booked by Somi's parents as a private room.
“Wow, I can see the ocean! ”
Jae-in looks out the window and vomits.
An endless sea of blue carpet lies beyond the path.
The reconstruction slightly speeds up the car running with a smile.
“I got the sign. That's the lake over there.”
“We got the boarding house, so we can watch the navigation. ”
The car has crossed Tollgate and entered the East Sea.
After a short drive along the navigational route, the reconstruction parked in the parking lot in front of a building with a sign for "green minpaku" in the middle of the three-story building. Across the road lies a vast ocean.
“Are you… a writer? ”
A middle-aged woman who was spraying water with a hose in the pot in front of the building approached and asked me to be nauseous.
When I saw her face resembling Somi, the reconstruction smiled and replied.
“Yes, hello. Mr. Somi, is this your mother? ”
“Oh, you look just like your teacher. My daughter looks just like me! Welcome."
Somi's mother immediately stopped watering the pots and welcomed the reconstructed family back inside. As she escorted her to the third floor, she spoke happily.
“I've heard a lot about you from Somi. I had a hard time living in Seoul by myself, but I never stopped talking whenever I called because I really needed a lot of help from my teacher. He was very good at writing, and he was very good at personality. ”
“I'm embarrassed. I think Mr. Somi is being very nice to me. ”
The third floor Somi's mother guided was as wide as a generation. The living room was spacious, with three and two bathrooms. On the terrace, the sea was clearly visible.
“Then get some rest. Please let me know if you're uncomfortable with anything. ”
“Yes, thank you very much. ”
The reconstructed family who had unpacked had a solid lunch when they went to the house Somi's mother told them about.
After filling the boat, I saw the Thousand Valley Cave located in the city center of the East Sea.
“Wow, it's freezing. This is why people are gathering in front of the cave where the wind blows. ”
“That's amazing. How can there be a cave in the middle of the city? ”
However, unlike families who enjoyed tourism because they were excited, the rebuilding facial expressions remained firm all the time.
No matter how hard I tried to forget, the unfinished scenario kept coming to my attention.
I couldn't get rid of the strange feeling.
“Rebuild, what's wrong with you? You're not feeling well? ”
“No, Sis. I thought about it for a second. ”
The reconstructed family went to dinner and returned to their quarters after exploring the candlestick famous for its dramatic setting.
The weary family went to bed before 10 o'clock.
Reconstruction quietly left the lodge.
I wanted to clear up the disheartening mind alone.
In front of the building, a middle-aged man was smoking a cigarette in a running shirt in shorts. When he sees the reconstruction coming out of the door, he swipes his cigarette and says hello.
“You're the writer, right? That's Somi Abbey. ”
“Ah, yes. Hi, I'm Harebuild. ”
“Are you feeling any discomfort? Anything you need, just let me know. ”
“It's perfect enough that I don't want anything more. ”
“Where are you going? ”
“I want to see the sea at night. Walk to the Otter Beach? ”
“Just walk over there for 15 minutes. The moon is secluded, so it's nice to watch the sea at night. Goodbye."
“Yes, thank you. ”
Like Somi's father said, after a little over 15 minutes walk, the beach came out.
Reconstruction sat on the sand of the beach, sipping coffee from the convenience store. Quite a lot of tourists were sitting on mattresses all over the sand and enjoying the sea at night.
‘ ……. ’
Reconstruction falls to mind, gazing at the receding black waves.
In fact, after a long time, the sea in front of him was throwing at him things to think about.
10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour…….
Reconstruction stared at the sea without being bored.
Concerns about unused scenarios have faded gradually.
Tension and nervousness were relaxing the muscles of the whole body that had always been stiff.
And after a while…….
As you open your ears, you begin to hear the voices around you.
“It's so nice to have you two here. How long has it been?”
“Obama! I'll walk you out. Drink! ”
“You're Crystal! How many times have I told you not to go to the water? It's dangerous not to be seen at night! ”
“Honey, if we get married, will we live in the East Sea? I think it'll be great to see the ocean every day. Let's get a job here. ”
A smile appeared on the mouth of the reconstruction.
He closes his eyes and focuses solely on the sound of the sound coming from the sea.
With the voices of millions of people, the sound of the waves ringing in my ears intensifies.
‘I forgot about this. ’
Sitting in front of the computer and tapping on the typewriter was not the only writer. Seeing, hearing and feeling a lot of things to create nutrients to melt into your writing. Furthermore, keeping your body and mind healthy so that you can write at any time.
I have forgotten all these things that are just as important as writing.
Reconstruction reflected on the past days, when he just ran restlessly without taking care of his body.
‘That's a funny story. ’
Reconstruction pulls out the notepad and pen from your pocket.
I couldn't help it.
There were inspiring stories going on in the conversations around Bourne that he overheard.
Funny voices and stories engraved on the notepad.
Reconstruction really enjoyed touring as a writer.
"Thank you so much, Somi. ’
At some point, the reconstruction toward Somi's face gave thanks to her.
If it weren't for her, there wouldn't have been a summer trip this year.
The ball that had a new realization wanted to return it to her.
‘I could use a beer. ’
I liked the sea at night, so I wanted to drink a drink lightly.
Reconstruction takes its place with the notepad in its pocket.
The moment he turns around, he hardens like a statue.
“Mr. Somi...? ”
Somi smiles, her tongue sticking out. Sleeveless t-shirt with exposed shoulders, jeans and slippers were a comfortable outfit.
“Hehe, were you surprised? ”
“What's going on here? ”
“Since tomorrow is the weekend, the company is resting. The writer and his family should be able to bear it because they care whether they stay in our house or not. ”
“Say it in Seoul in advance. Then you could have come with me to my car. ”
“Actually, I wasn't supposed to, but all of a sudden she wanted to see me, so I came here. ”
Somi looks over the shoulder of the reconstruction and asks.
“How are you? Good to see the ocean, isn't it? ”
“Yes, it's great. I felt a lot of things coming here. ”
Somi gladly opens her chest and receives a reply.
“Look at that. You have nothing to lose by listening to me? Hah, you really needed healing. ”
“When I go back to Seoul, I will try to live a regular life. ”
“That's good thinking. You're going in now?”
“I like the sea, so I'm going to stay a while longer. I got up for a beer. Would you like to join me for a drink?”
“Okay, great. ”
Reconstruction proceeded side-by-side with Somi to a convenience store across the street.
Somi, who opened the convenience store door and walked inside, accidentally slammed her shoulder with a big man.
“Oh, I'm sorry. ”
“I didn't see it. I'm sorry."
The tall man apologized to Somi for her stubbornness, as opposed to her ugly appearance. His hair was short, so he looked similar to the gangsters I saw in the movie.
‘Hmm…?! ’
The moment a man with a bowl of goose and a little Somi came into sight together.
One thought penetrated the mind of the reconstruction like a flash of light.
Two protagonists of a new story were being quickly created in my head.
‘Violent people who committed crimes and fled to the beach to avoid people's eyes...! And a girl by the sea who admires living in a magnificent city...! This is it!’
The reconstruction grips the fist without even knowing it.
Again, the existence of Muse came at a very unexpected moment.
This scenario was literally a habit.
I was writing an unsatisfactory story because the main purpose was to acquire the format.
During this time, I came up with a text that could be written in the right scenario.
Thanks to some guy who bumped into Somi.
“Sir? What's wrong with you? ”
“Mr. Somi. I'm going to get my laptop... ”
Reconstruction silenced itself rather than speaking.
Where did I decide to go and work on the beach a while ago...?
A vigilance toward myself was raised.
“No, it's nothing. ”
The reconstruction scraped the back of the head in a daze and moved to the corner of the mistletoe. The sea that was visible out the window was once again in his eyes, and he held his heart.
‘Look at me. Let's rest……. I've decided to take a break. I'm on my way. ’
If I grab my laptop here, I might not be able to get it out of my hands until I get home.
The reconstruction firmly agreed not to take out the laptop until the end of the trip.
‘A note like this would be fine. ’
Reconstruction took out the notepad and made a brief note of the two protagonists that just came to mind.
And I was thankful for the wide back of a man like a gangster who became the material. In addition to Somi, who is working hard on beer and snacks.
* * *
It was a trip that I had gained a lot from many things.
I was able to look back at what I missed while running, and I also obtained the story of a scenario that I was going to start writing properly. The face of the charred rebuilding was full of healthy energy.
“Father, Mother. Get some rest, too. ”
“Drive carefully. ”
Reconstruction dropped the family off at the water main house and returned to the studio in Seoul, the two of them together.
I looked at the clock, and it was past 8: 00 at night.
‘Work is tomorrow. ’
Writing is labor.
There was definitely something I decided to do on this trip At least as long as I was tapping and writing, I decided not to exceed 8 hours a day.
‘Starting tomorrow, I'm going to work in the writer's office like an employer. 9: 00 AM - 6: 00 PM. Eight hours a day, except for one hour of lunch... Good! ’
I drove for a long time and was tired.
Reconstruction took a shower and changed clothes early to go to bed. When I was lying in bed with the air conditioning to the right temperature, a phone call came from Myeong-seok.
“Yes, Editor. ”
- Good morning, sir. I wanted to let you know how you're doing. How's it going?
“I'm doing well. I was just about to call you. I've come up with a new feature novel, and I'd like to sign with the editor again. ”
- Oh, are you sure?
“Yes, I came up with a story for the scenario while I was traveling. There's no guarantee it's going to be a movie again, but I want to publish it as a novel first. We'll start with a novel after the scenario is completed. ”
- I'd be delighted if you did. For your work, we can deposit 100 million KRW in pre-paid taxes without having to check the contents. Hahaha.
Myeong-seok liked it with a smile. The summer of becoming a best-selling ‘20-year-old' was going to continue its popularity for a while. If we give these situations a sequential series with a quality above the average, there can be no bad reaction.
“Then I'll send you the manuscript as soon as I get caught. ”
- Yes, sir. You must be tired. Get some rest.
Reconstruction after hanging up the phone stretched out with a godson and lay in bed.
Lika climbs into bed, cuts off his arm and bows.
They fell into a deep and comfortable sleep without anyone having to go first.
