Big Life

19 - I am an Earthling (10)

“Sir, are you sure you want to accept the assignment? ”

“Hmm, maybe? Anyway, nothing has been confirmed. ”

Su-hee responded to her subordinate and drank a cup of coffee.

Time was 6: 00 p.m.

It was time for me to go home after work.

“I'll go in first, Jung-gu, go in early. ”

“Yes, sir. Be careful.”

Su-hee climbed up the empty elevator alone and pressed the B1 floor button.

“Phew.”

As I sighed on my own, I felt refreshed in front of my eyes.

‘Idiot. ’

In the end, no answer was drawn to the reconstruction.

I asked you not to go while discussing your assignment abroad.

But the rebuilding encouraged us to go on to say congratulations. As Su-hee, I was disappointed and overwhelmed.

It was the same when I was told to go to sleep.

At that time, Su-hee asked how she could sleep in a man's house, even though she wasn't dating.

That was it.

Reconstruction didn't say anything anymore.

‘No, I'm an idiot. ’

The elevator door was wide open in front of Su Hee who smiled.

Again. Again.

As I approached the car with my shoes on, my phone rang in my bag. It was a call from Myung-hoon.

“What's going on? ”

- As soon as you get it, your voice is freezing.

“What do you want? Bravery scenario is over. What else do you want to call me? ”

- I want to talk to him.

“I'm sorry, I don't have time. ”

It's the first floor, I have something I need to tell you. I won't be taken away for long.

“· · · · · · Okay, then. ”

Su-hee turned around and climbed back up to the elevator.

Cafe Dodo was cozy on the first floor of the building.

When Su-hee went inside, Myeonghun was about to turn around with the Americano and cafeteria he ordered.

“You're a cafeteria, right? ”

Su-hee nodded lightly and sat down with Myeong-hoon.

“If you have something to say, say it quickly. ”

Su-hee nods, placing the bag on an empty chair. Myeonghun smiles faintly in front of her cold attitude.

“I feel so sorry for you. ”

“If you want to talk about the past, stop. ”

“I've done a lot of terrible things to rebuild. ”

“Good. I'm aware of that. ”

“How did the courageous people react? ”

“Don't bother.”

Su-hee's short answer was honest.

The mobile games‘ couriers’, which Myung Hun wrote scenarios, were moderately performing. It wasn't a success, but it was ambiguous sales, not a failure.

“At least I felt relieved that I didn't do any harm. I wrote really hard. I did everything I could to think of this as the last text. ”

Su-hee's eyes opened for a split second.

“The last one? ”

“I went into my father's company. ”

He replied as if he had thrown a light.

After a sip of coffee with a burning face, he was a horse.

“I'm the head of sales. All the troublesome things come to me. ”

“I see.”

Su-hee hesitated, answering with a dry voice. She had known for a long time that Myung-hoon was the son of the published group.

“Congratulations, work hard. ”

“Thank you. I'll work really hard. ”

Myeonghun's voice was full of strength.

“I'm doing everything I can. For the good of the company, and for the recognition of my father. My efforts have been working lately. My brother's mad at me for being ruthless, but my father admits I'm a good man. I'll keep trying. Until you become the official successor of the Vocal Publication Group. I'm going up until I can get up there to see the wider world. ”

“Yes, yes. ”

“I recently started going to psych. He's got a slight case of anger control disorder. He said it's nothing serious, so he can relax, think only about the good things, take medication, and he'll be fine in no time. Like I said, I'm going to a hospital I don't want to go to for the company. Anything I can do. ”

“Myeonghun.”

Su-hee slashes her horse in the middle and glares at her with a cool gaze.

“I'm not here to listen to your lines. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Why the hell did you call me? Why are you talking to me like this? ”

Myeonghun couldn't immediately look down.

Su-hee vomited a short sigh in an annoying tone. Then I reached into my bag to get up first.

Just in time.

“All over the world! ”

Myeonghun increased his speech.

Some people who were sitting in the cafe were surprised at the moment and cast their eyes. Su-hee stops reaching into the bag.

“Because you're the only one in the world who can say things like that." ”

Myung Hun shrugged his shoulders and breathed a harsh breath.

He takes a deep breath for as long as it calms him down. I even took a cold cup of coffee to reveal the floor.

“That's why we're talking. Soo-hee is the only one who can talk even if she wants to talk to me. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Su-hee was listening with a firm expression.

I was surprised by Myeonghun's explosion for a short time, but I didn't feel anything emotionally. It's always been like this. Trustworthiness is a man who has no eyes.

Myeong-hoon said that.

“I know too well why you hate me. The biggest problem is that if you can't tell the difference between a job and a job, if you twist it your way, you crush people. So I'm going to fix it one by one. ”

Myung Hun took a book out of his bag and placed it on the table.

Su Hee's eyes widened as she saw the title.

It was a translation of the novel "There was a sea" in English.

“I was in charge of marketing for the US market. ”

“· · · · · · · · What? ”

“Soon the streets of New York. ”

It was the first blue thing that happened to Su-hee's chest.

Myeonghun is in charge of the marketing of the novels of reconstruction.

I thought there would never be a good outcome.

“Why are you telling me this? ”

Su-hee hides the fluctuations of emotions and asks.

Myung-hoon immediately replied, pushing the translation of 'There was a sea’ towards Su Hee.

“To be recognized by you. ”

“My · · · · · · · · · · acknowledgement? ”

“I think it will prove a little bit if I reconstruct the book properly on the American market. A human being named Myung Hun has become a man who knows how to distinguish between works." ”

Su-hee lost her words for a few seconds.

However, after a short while, I stuffed my mouth with a nasty grin.

“You have to be recognized by your father to be the successor of the group, right? This is your job, too, and you're going to have to rebuild it to publish it on the American market. Leave me out of it. ”

“Su-hee, that's really not it. ”

Myung Hun shakes his head, grinning bitterly.

“Korean novel sentiments don't suit the American market. Of course you know the stories. There's very little chance of a big bang. My brother is the one who planned this in the first place, and the editor in charge of reconstruction. Failure has little impact on my position within the company. On the contrary, even if it succeeds. ”

Su-hee was unclean and bitten as she applied the lip.

She also graduated from the Creative Arts Department. Many domestic writers tried to go abroad, and they knew that it only had bad results.

A moment of silence passed.

You break the static while fixing the broken tie.

“I hate reconstruction. I know he hates me, but he's not like me. I feel nauseous just looking at it and my whole body trembles. I don't know, his blood pressure's spiking and he's grabbing the back of my neck. This is what I mean. However. ”

Myeonghun lifts a finger straight in front of his eyes.

“I just want you to know one thing. No matter how much I hate him, he's smaller than I love you. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

I put on a consultation that Myeong-hoon left behind.

He stands up in front of Su Hee, who sits dazed.

“I'll go first. The translation is good, so read it. You can taste it because you're good at it. ”

Myeong-hoon heads towards the entrance.

Su-hee was far away without even moving. She was just looking down at the translation of "There was a sea."

* * *

The reconstruction is blank, giving no answer.

I was just about to hear that Nayeon, the new actress who played Eun-hee in 'There was a sea’, tried to kill herself.

“His brother, who lives with him, found him trying to light a lightning bolt in his car. I don't know what would've happened if I was a little late. Even the reporters couldn't smell it. ”

The neighbor poured another glass of whiskey. I already drank more than half the bottle myself. It was not enough.

“It must have been hard. I regretted not answering my phone once. I wish you'd at least pretend to listen to me when I complain that it's hard. ”

JooJoon poured whiskey into his mouth.

Then I took a long sigh and closed my eyes.

“What will Nayeon do next? ”

“He said he was going down to his hometown to rest. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“What kind of actor are you going to play on the glass mental topic? ”

JooJoon mutters as if growling.

It was not anger toward Nayeon, but the beating against himself. Reconstruction also had a ten-minute understanding of his mind.

“Don't get me wrong. We're not going to China. I just moved up my schedule because I was annoyed. ”

“I don't get it. ”

“While I'm gone, Charin asks me a favor. I'm very susceptible to him because he likes novels. I'll never get tired of trying, but I'd appreciate it if you could cheer me up. ”

“Got it.”

JooJoon opened his eyes and stood up. The rebuild stood up after him and asked.

“Are you leaving already? ”

“We'll be home early in the morning. Tae Bong is waiting for you outside. I came here to talk to you. Let's drink properly after I become a world star. ”

“The excitement is real. Yeah, come back a world star. ”

The reconstruction went out in front of the house and sent the car away with two eyes.

His expression, which he tried to maintain in front of him, remained vivid in his brain. It will be hard for a while.

Glug glug!

When I returned home, my phone was ringing on the table.

Lika was making a cry with her front foot pressing down on her phone as if to ask for it quickly.

“Who's calling at this hour? Huh?"

The name that came to mind was Su-hee.

Reconstruction picked up the phone at the same time as holding Lika in her heart.

“Su-hee. ”

- Is this a house?

Su-hee's voice was sharp, asking questions.

Reconstruction inadvertently straightened up and replied.

“Uh, it's home. ”

- Can I talk to you?

“Now?”

- Do you want to go tomorrow?

“No, no. I'm surprised you're here when you're late. I'll be right there. ”

Actually, I'm already on my way.

Knuckles!

As soon as Su-hee finished talking, the phone was disconnected.

Reconstruction was confusing, but it cleared away traces of drinking and drinking. Shortly after finishing cleaning up, the doorbell rings.

The reconstruction opens remotely and leaves in shoes.

“Did you take a taxi? ”

The taxi was drifting away over Su-hee's shoulder. Su-hee nods, his cheeks slightly crooked.

“I had a light drink at the banquet. ”

Of course it was a lie.

After I broke up with Myung Hun, I drank three cocktails in a bar in the basement of the building by myself. Afterwards, the emotional upheaval did not stop, so we came to rebuild.

“Come on in. ”

Reconstruction brought Su Hee inside and sat on the living room couch. Su-hee said behind the back of the reconstruction to bring something to drink.

“You don't have to give me anything. I came here to say something, so I'm just gonna say it and go home. ”

“Uh, uh. ”

Reconstruction senses an unusual atmosphere and sits across the street.

Su-hee sighed for a long time before speaking.

“I've decided to accept my overseas assignment. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“You did that to me, didn't you? It's a good opportunity. You have to accept it. Right?”

Su Hee's irritating tone embarrassed the reconstruction. Sometimes you talk like this.

“It's a good thing I wanted to tell you first. You're my best friend in the world. ”

“Su-hee.”

“What's wrong with your face? Aren't you celebrating? ”

Su-hee tilts her head as if it were strange.

Reconstruction only swallowed the needle once, but it did not answer. I couldn't say congratulations right away.

Su Hee wasn't the only one who drank. I also drank 2-3 glasses of whiskey listening to Su-jun's story of reconstruction. The right spirits are picking up their heartbeats faster.

How static it must have been.

“I hate it. ”

It was the first word that came out of Su Hee's mouth after a long time.
