Big Life

19 - I am an Earthling (4)

“Are you all right?"

The surprised puppet pulls out a paper towel and wipes the table.

Taejin gets up in a daze and pulls away the wet water from his trousers.

I was filled with a smile of embarrassment on my face.

“Oops, this. When my hands slipped, I made this mistake.... ”

Of course it was a lie.

I was hit right from the start.

The question of reconstruction was closely related to Taejin's personal reasons for organizing this position.

“That's it, Editor. I'll clean it up. ”

Taejin strokes Myeong Seok and wipes the table pretending to be wet.

Only an uncontrollable heart was beating like a broken heart.

I went out as far as I could, but it seemed to be ineffective.

I couldn't help but be embarrassed.

The opponent is a rebuild made of two coincidences in a row.

In digital literature, he wrote the name Seo Gun Woo, and has always lived near the grave of Seo Gun Woo.

That's why Taejin made his place today.

It was hard to forget anymore.

He wanted to solve the question by meeting the reconstruction in person, whether his wild assumptions were real or not.

“I'm sorry, what did you ask? ”

After clearing up the area, I asked Taejin with a smile.

I could clearly feel the cold sweat flowing down my back.

“Oh, yes. So I asked if your tragedy was real or not. It's lively.”

Taejin's head twitched.

Is that really all?

Being lively is just an understatement.

Did the intention of asking if it was really this simple?

“Haha, I don't know. It may or may not be a true story. ”

After drenching his burning neck with a sip of water, Taejin was a horse.

“I've been with a lot of doorways my whole life. It's a piece of writing about the convenience of listening to their lives and how I felt. ”

“Ah, yes. ”

“So it could or could not be a true story. Was the answer a little boring? Haha.”

“No. As a writer, you empathize. ”

I didn't ask for any more reconstructions.

This was the simple answer to the question of whether or not the story was true.

Thanks to you, Taejin was relieved.

A heavy flame rises from the blessing dish.

Tae Jinn recommended a meal while occasionally observing the rebuilding expression.

I didn't feel any unnatural corners.

I was just smiling like a boy and enjoying delicious food.

By the time the meal was halfway through.

Taejin is fortunate as he passes by with the idea of trying to solve the problem.

“By the way, you live alone in Seoul? ”

“Oh, yes. The main family is a water source, and they were independent after they were discharged. ”

“I see. You're a palace man? I saw an eco park nearby once. You did well.”

“Yes, I sometimes go for a walk. ”

“From what I've heard, there's not much of a delay. You just like the neighborhood? My son, no, I'm sorry. ”

“That's okay, just relax. ”

“Haha, by the way, I heard from our editor that he moved to a nice house nearby. That's why I asked. ”

Taejin, who could not ask openly, was bypassing the question in a row.

Reconstruction nods with a bold smile.

“Moving to another location is especially cumbersome, and I'm used to staying in Seoul. It's a great location for publishers, writers' offices, and anywhere else. ”

“Hahaha, yes. Seoul will be there, unless it's a beautiful beach or a hillside village. ”

Next to Taejin, who was smiling softly, I was a little doubtful.

It's because I'm not the father who would say so many words on such a silly talk.

"Ha, did you like him that much? ’

Myeong-seok tilted his head with his own conjecture.

Taejin continued his conversation with reconstruction with a smile.

“By the way, the first award was digital literature, right? ”

“Yes, it's an honor to be remembered by the CEO. ”

“I enjoyed reading it. I'm old, but I still have a good memory. I even remember the name. Was it a nickname called Seo Gun Woo?”

“Yes, that's right. You seem to have a really good memory. Not one or two authors you've ever seen. ”

It was a reconstruction, smiling brightly and answering.

Taejin was silent because he had nothing more to ask.

‘I was delusional. ’

The tension that stiffened Taejin's whole body was slowly dissipating.

For over 60 years, I have seen the faces of many people.

There was not a single lie found in the appearance of unconditional reconstruction.

“Eat a lot, Miss Ha. ”

“Thank you. You should eat a lot too. You, too.”

The atmosphere was warm until the end of the meal.

Taejin told Myeong Seok, after the reconstruction went to the bathroom.

“You sound like a good friend. ”

“Did you? My father wanted to talk a lot today, but he seemed to like it. ”

Taejin does not hide his fondness for reconstruction, grumbling with a smiling face.

“Writers are people, so you have to be personality before you can write. I enjoyed your meal today. ”

Taejin glances at the watch.

“Maybe I'm too late to go in first. I'm sorry, but you have to come back after the rest of the story. ”

“Of course it's my job. Leave it and go in first. ”

Soon, the reconstruction came back from the bathroom.

After coming out of the restaurant, Taejin's car was waiting.

The driver of the seat quickly got off and opened the car door.

Before riding, Taejin once again shook hands with the reconstruction.

“I'm worried that you might have gotten a bite out of your mouth today. ”

“It was delicious. I really enjoyed it thanks to the CEO. ”

“I'll sleep with both feet open today if you enjoy it. So I'll go back first. Have a nice chat. ”

After Tae Jin left, the reconstruction and seating entered a cafe right next to the restaurant.

I put the coffee I ordered in front of me, and I got to the main point.

“Now you have to go out into the world. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“I'm going to show your work to the overseas market. In fact, this is the most important story I'm going to tell you today. ”

“ ……. ”

Reconstruction is speechless.

My novel is officially sold to foreign readers?

"Summer of twenty years old" or "there was a sea" is translated into a foreign language and exported?

“Hahaha, sir. Surprised?”

In front of a pranky burial, the reconstruction reminded me of an email from an overseas reader who had just received it.

‘The Bress’ was so much fun that the email I wanted to translate into English and see with my peers was now revived in the brain.

“Really…"

Reconstruction failed to join the horses and swallowed the saliva once.

“Are you sure my work can go abroad? ”

“I think you're worried too much. The teacher used a best-seller for two works in a row. The cumulative summer sales of 20 years old exceeded 1.7 million copies, and even if there were oceans, more than 1.1 million copies were sold. Apart from this much excitement in Korea, what would you be exporting to the overseas market? ”

After I said that, Myeong-seok was a sipping cup of coffee around his neck.

“In fact, you can't see how well Korean novels have gone abroad. Either you're a writer, or you're an announcer, or you can't escape the classics in a foreign market. I was just promoting a novel asking the mother of a plagiarist. ”

“Yes, I think I've seen the news. ”

“I think it's because of Korean sentiments. There are some things that clearly don't match foreigners' feelings. Even if there were oceans. Not all Korean gangsters and Russian mafia and Japanese Yakuza are the same. ”

“Hmm, yes. ”

Suddenly, Myeong-seok straightened his lower back and smiled.

Then it was a conversation in a tone as self-confident as it was.

“Nevertheless, it is my opinion that Mr. Ha's work looks promising. because the story itself is interesting. because it's not just about expressing our inner selves and our emotions. ”

“I appreciate your kind words...”

“It's not going to be concluded in a day or two. Anyway, if you trust me, I'll make it right. ”

Reconstruction narrows its eyes and snatches away the awkward smile.

I was going to trust him anyway.

The opponent is always a competent editor who has more than doubled his expectations.

“There's something else I can tell you. So I'm going to ask you nicely. ”

After drinking all the coffee, the two of them left the cafe side by side.

Since it's not too late, Myeong-seok caught the reconstruction heading towards the subway station.

“I'll take you there. ”

“No problem. You'll be on the subway in no time. ”

“Please don't make me feel uncomfortable and come with me. ”

Myeong-seok finally did not let go of the reconstruction.

As he was dragged away, the reconstruction to the parking lot with him recognized a car that looked very familiar and opened his eyes wide.

“... Yeon-woo? ”

A car that's ripe for the eyes.

And it was Yeon-woo who rushed out of the driver's seat.

“What? I told you to go back to the office and rest. ”

“Ah, reconstruction, brother. Don't be mad. Here's what happened: I actually had a meeting with a friend nearby, so I went to see him, and it was almost time, so I came back on my way. If you come out, I'll go back with you. Yes, it is. ”

Yeon-woo made excuses that did not become like quickfire.

Next to the rebuilding, Myeok smiled silently, fixing his glasses.

“I'm relieved you're here. Maybe I should go back alone. Have a safe trip, Mr. Ha. ”

“Ah-ha-ha, yes. Thank you, Editor. Go inside."

The reconstruction takes a sigh while wearing a seatbelt on its passenger seat.

I was looking for a frightened look on Yeon-woo's face that was starting next to me.

“Are you angry? ”

“Uh, who are you? ”

“Ah, reconstruction, brother. Really, come on. He's my brother's manager. ”

“Manager? Oh, yeah. I had a manager. I fired him a while ago because he didn't listen to me. Is there a problem? ”

“Oh, brother. Don't do it. I'm hurt, really. ”

Yeon-woo was speaking with a crying face.

The reconstruction closed its eyes tightly, slowly shaking its head to the left and to the right.

“This is the last time. Just don't listen to him again. ”

“Heheh heh heh, I wonder if there is one. Let's go!”

The car started cheerfully.

The DJ on the radio was commenting in a passionate voice about the upheaval of the movie "There was a Sea."

* * *

[There was a sea, 6 million people penetrated. How far does it go?]

[Interview with Director Yoon Tae-sung , ‘I have dedicated my heart to expressing the original. Results are very satisfied’]

[Rebuild the original 'I live alone’ Re-lighting the speech during the performance, 'I like to actively accept the opinions from Director Yoon Tae-sung’]

[Actor Park, Do you want to accept the love call that flew from China?]

“Wow, Min-ho. This is not a joke. Don't you think you're about to be filmed in the audience? ”

Eun-young, who was looking at internet articles, asked with an amazing voice.

Minho, who reads books from behind, was unable to answer.

“What? I'm reading. Don't interrupt me?" ”

“No, this is the important part. ”

“Happiness.”

Eun-young pushes her lips out sharply and scrolls down.

In a related article, news appeared about Director Woo Jae-hoon's new book, "The Himalayas."

- There were 50 billion ‘oceans’ versus 11 billion 'Himalayas'. Which Korean film wins?

The title of the duel was a stimulating article.

According to the contents, it was as expected from Silver Spirit.

It was the text of the intent that the 'Himalayan Mountains’ which cost enormous production could not escape the classics, but that there was a 'sea' made for less than half the production cost.

Netizen comments at the end of the article were even more exciting.

- It's not a blockbuster, it's a mountain wave. Whether it's fun, acting or acting, the battle was not established in the first place.

- Honestly, the Himalayas weren't so bad. It was worth seeing with my family, but it was made too well after the sea. ㅇ Info

- Bullshit. The Himalayas aren't bad? I'm curious about the director's duo.

- There was a sea up there.;;; I know it's a good movie, but the Himalayas were great.

-11 billion donations to Himalayan locals. Woo Jae-hoon will be so embarrassed. I was terrified in the interview. Blah blah blah

- When Yoon Tae-sung or Hae-won meet at Woo Jae-hoon's bar, I think he will apply for sparring.

“Wow, I'm not kidding people these days. If I were the director, I'd have a mental break already. ”

Eun-young stood up with a bitter smile.

I saw Min-ho's back reading while shaking his shoulders.

“Brother? What's the matter? ”

“Ugh...! Ugh, ugh...! ”

Minho's face was covered with teary snot.

In a flash, he put down the book he had read and buried his face in the palms of his hands.

“Why are you crying all of a sudden, bro? ”

“This book is so... oh, it's so sad and touching... …. ”

Minho untied his nose with a paper towel and sniffed.

“Oh, my God, there's no such thing as a star. You like her, and you hide your heart all the way for your friend and her love...! I gave her the location of my long-lost friend to a rural village, and I ended up taking her to the train. Ah, sequelae...! ”

“Are you spouting? What do you want me to read? Stop talking!"

Eun-young slapped Min-ho on the shoulder and picked up the book.

It was the work of the writer Taejin ‘Your Tragedy’.

Minho's tears drenched the cover.
