Big Life

23 – Bombardment has begun (6)

Why did you call me again? ’

Su-hee immediately turned her phone upside down.

It was a call from Myung Hun.

I was reluctant to accept it even when I was alone, but now I'm with the reconstruction.

“Stop it, I'm going to wake up now. ”

Su-hee gets up without turning around on her blanket.

When I opened the curtain wide, the thin sunlight poured in at once.

Reconstruction brushes and drops its head under the pillow.

“Wake up now, Writer Ha. You have to eat early in the morning and look around again today. ”

“I've seen enough. I just need to see you. ”

“Don't say what comes out. Get up quickly. ”

“Ahh, my blanket. ”

Reconstruction drifted to Su Hee, showered and put on clothes.

Today is the day I plan to go to a place called Batou, the thermal village. I wasn't really interested in the hot springs, but I definitely wanted to go to the library in the center of the hot springs.

“But how many days can I rest like this? ”

“I'm a resilient woman. Didn't you hear me on the phone with the director? You told me to rest for a full night and then come back to Korea at all. ”

Su-hee opens her chest and shrugs her shoulders.

Reconstruction wraps the cardigan around her body and kisses her mouth.

“Let's get out. ”

“Yes, let's eat first. I'm hungry.”

The two of them ate a little late breakfast on the right side and climbed on the Taiwan subway MRT. The story begins to pour out endlessly in the running subway.

“What are you going to do about The Bress? I heard you were from the United States. ”

“I spoke to Jin again, but the situation there is a bit subtle. Knobble wants to publish the book first, but Wizard Pictures wants to talk about it from the other side. ”

“What do you think? ”

“Since I'm a writer, I prefer the book to go first. It's not a confirmation. Things change every day. Maybe we're just looking at how much the mustard baths are selling now. Anyway, the agent said to call you back. I'm the only one in a hurry. ”

“Either way, I want you to go to the tilt of your mind. Before you think of the doctors around you. ”

Su-hee grabbed the hand of the reconstruction.

On top of that, the reconstruction changed the topic.

“And the mayor and the people. I think we should give up on this title. Isn't that what you see? ”

“Honestly, I'm not either. According to Professor Han Hye-sun, the marketplace is much better. The novel board goes with that title. ”

“Oh, you, too. There is no one on my side in this vast world. ”

I stared up at the ceiling, dumbfounded by the reconstruction, and jokingly complained.

Su-hee leaning on his shoulder was happier than anyone else in the world.

“I didn't expect the audience to be so massive. When I first saw the Internet article, I thought it was a typo. ”

“I'm surprised, too. ”

“Our rebuilding is very good. I've been looking into it since freshman year. Oh, if you stick with him, I'll learn to write. ”

Su-hee chuckles, looking back at one page of memories.

“You know what? I'm telling you, I was only there for you when I was in freshman year M.T. ”

Reconstruction was a shock, but then I cracked my neck and smoked some fertilizer.

“You did? Well, it was a time when this handsome one was in full swing. You've been recognizing my worth since the beginning. ”

“Yes, it's been so cool ever since. ”

“Hey, Su-hee. This is the part where you have to react like an idiot. I'd be embarrassed if you just covered me up and complimented me. ”

The rate of MRT reaching the destination was slowly slowing. As I got up from my seat, the reconstruction opened my mouth.

“I'm just saying. You used to work so hard with the ladies back then. Against almost 10 people. ”

“Proud of me my whole life. Why is that?”

“Do you know I've been secretly diluting your drinking water? ”

“Really? Why did you do that? ”

“I was going to marry you. I was afraid that your pride would make you feel bad about drinking. ”

“Don't lie, you didn't even look at me properly in first grade. ”

“You should have seen it so dazzling. ”

Su-hee flares her cheeks unhappy.

As she stepped down to the platform, she clenched her reconstructive arms and asked.

“Who else knows? ”

“What?”

“You slipped me a drink. Hyo-jin? ”

“I did something else. I'm the only one who knows.”

“Then my legend will last forever. You're not gonna tell anyone? All you have to do is eat ramen for breakfast and dinner. ”

“I'll take it to this secret grave. ”

Su-hee turns her head and sticks out her tongue and smiles alone.

I knew then that reconstruction had been used on alcohol. He was quite drunk, but did not lose his appetite enough to distinguish between beast and soju.

“· · · · · · · That's why I like you, idiot. ”

“What did you say? ”

“No, nothing. Let's go quickly.”

Su-hee grabs the arm of the reconstruction and makes a quick walk.

I left the station and went straight to the Batou Library for a while. The facade of the wooden building was beautiful.

“Wow!”

Reconstruction opened its mouth halfway before it even entered.

“I've seen it in pictures, but it's cool. ”

“Aren't you going to the geothermal music? ”

“It's hot. Take a look around the library first. ”

In the courtyard of the quiet and peaceful library, there were numerous dogs walking around.

The two of them entered the library, greeting each of the barking dogs.

“What do you think? Can you read any of these books? ”

“· · · · · · Go towards the spiritual book, Su Hee. ”

Reconstruction and Su Hee held one English novel in one corner.

The speed difference was remarkable.

Unlike the reconstruction of the level of decoding by working on one piece, Su-hee was handing over liquor like reading a Korean novel.

“How can you speak English so well? ”

“I worked hard. ”

After Su-hee finished reading, I covered the book and laughed.

Reconstruction was only a tenth of the time when books were much thinner than her.

“I had to work hard. Because of my dad.”

“What about your father? ”

“In high school. I told him I wanted to go to the university's creative arts department. Why do you want to do something so stupid that you can't even make a living? My dad's a bit of a fixer-upper. ”

“Well, my dad was against the pole, too. What did he say? If he learns how to power a fryer, he'll give you his own chicken house. It's a useless department that I can't even teach you. ”

The two of them laughed together, conscious and silent.

Su-hee said, leading the rebuilding to the terrace, avoiding those who were reading.

“She was supportive of my opinion. After all, my father stepped forward. But I have a condition. ”

“Condition?”

“Learn 3 languages. Reach TOEIC score, JPT score, and another intermediate level before you start university. Toik was originally about 800 points, so it wasn't hard. JPT liked Annie, so she got a quick score. It was very difficult in German. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Su-hee was talking nonchalantly in front of the mute reconstruction.

“My father used to have a pawn shop at Namdaemun Gate. He's been dealing with foreigners since he was young. Thanks to you, you didn't study separately, but you speak pretty good English. ”

“I can understand your heart. You must have felt the importance of foreign languages more because you had lived like that. ”

A strand of thought touches the mind of the rebuilding.

Convenience of vague thoughts began to form in a gradual fashion as they joined together.

“Su-hee.”

“Huh?"

“Have you heard anything from your father about the pawn shop? ”

“Why all of a sudden? ”

“I think it would be good to have the mayor and the people, or the next short lead in the marketplace, as a pawn shop owner. In fact, there was a pawn shop on Motif Bouquet. ”

“I haven't heard anything. You don't want to talk about my dad back then. It must have been very hard.”

“I see. Anyway, I need to do some reporting on this. ”

The reconstruction immediately took out a notepad and summarized what I thought along with the keyword 'pawn shop owner’.

Su Hee added, clearing her eyes.

“You know, rebuild. ”

“Uh, tell me. ”

“When I meet my dad later. ”

“Of course I'll see you soon. I was going to ask you to come see me as soon as you came back to Korea. ”

“No, no, that's not it. My dad's a little cranky. So, should I say this in advance for understanding? ”

Reconstruction finishes the note, raising your head and smiling. Instead of answering, I hugged Su-hee full of breasts.

Su Hee also raised her hands and covered the back of the reconstruction. The weather alone was difficult to separate the two of them.

“Why can't you teach me? ”

“It's personal information. I'm sorry."

The Standing Representative was repeating himself.

The man standing across from me with the ridiculous face was a clear warning. I came to my office as soon as I arrived in Taiwan.

“Hey, West Representative. Don't you know me?”

“I know you're Writer Oh Myung-hoon. ”

“Yes, I know you're a standing representative. You and I used to work together in a courageous scenario. ”

The standing surrogate smiles faintly, fixing the hem of her blouse.

It doesn't make sense that we worked together.

It is a lesson that I have never received, even with numerous greetings. It was just a grudge that caused dissension in every department I went to and made my team members suffer.

“I'm asking you to tell me where you live. Am I asking you for the password to this team leader's account? ”

“I can say the same thing. Try contacting this team leader directly. I can't tell you that myself. ”

When he finished speaking, his surrogate turned around.

Myung Hun was staring back at her as she was looking at the rooftop of a dog chasing a chicken.

‘Phew, Oh Myung-hoon. Killed a lot of anger. You have to be patient.’

I cracked my teeth in my tightly closed mouth.

However, Myung Hun turned away without expressing his anger. Either with a big breath, she was holding Soo-hee's number again on her phone.

Why aren't you answering? ’

Su-hee told me that Su-hee was on vacation.

I don't know if I've traveled far.

If I had known it would be this crossed, I would have contacted you in advance.

‘Ahh! ’

Myung-hoon remembers a woman's face and flicks his fingers.

If she still works at Connection, of course she knows. He teased his finger diligently to find Hye-mi's name.

- Hello, Myung-hoon?

Even before the tone rang a few times, Hye Mi answered the phone in a surprised voice.

Myung-hoon greeted me politely before asking questions.

“How are you? ”

- What are you doing? I'm, I'm good. How was your life in America?

“Fair enough. It's a business class.”

- That's good, isn't it? Do you eat well? When are you coming back to Korea?

It was a warning that I was already annoyed by Hye-mi's repeated questions. He squeezed his voice.

“I'm going in soon. I'll be in touch.”

- I'll be waiting to hear from you.

“Hye-mi, by the way. ”

- Yes, go ahead.

Myung Hun looked up at the Connections office building and asked a question.

“About the Connection Taiwan office. What's going on with the staff quarters? Are they all different? ”

There's a small officetel for the staff. Any employee you want stays in that officetel. As far as I know. What's the matter with you?

“No, it's not. I know a guy on Taiwan's side. I'd like to send you something in person by courier. Can you give me the name and address of that officetel? If you have a list of employees, please ask them. ”

- Yeah, it's not that hard. I'll look it up and mail it to you.

“Thank you, I'll call you again. ”

- Yes, Mr. Myung-hoon. I'm so glad you called. I'll wait for your call.

The phone disconnects and a few minutes later, a message blows up.

Myung Hun began to walk along the address, calling for joy in his heart.

It was not far from the company

* * *

‘That's the building. ’

Myung Hun quickly found the officetel building where Su Hee is staying.

In front of the small building were simple dining and drinking restaurants and cafes. Myeonghun, who was on his neck, went to the cafe and ordered an iced coffee.

‘Please stay home!' ’

Myung Hun earnestly took out his phone.

Soon as I try to dial Soo-hee's number.

Beyond the path I passed, I remembered the outline of a familiar woman.

I was drawn to it, and the eyes of Myeonghun gradually expanded.

It was Su-hee's face that I drew in my dream.

I was smiling, shaking my head to either side like the happiest man in the world.

‘Su-hee · · · · · · · ·! ’

I almost dropped the coffee I had in my hand. How long have you been waiting to meet Su-hee? The faint breath heats up like a flame.

Halt!

“ · · · · · ·?! ”

I stopped, thinking about Myeonghun.

Su-hee was not walking alone.

A man was chasing behind with a big ice cream in both hands. Myeonghun recognized his face and hid himself deep in the alley without even knowing it.

‘Why is he here?' ’

The love of my life.

And the most hated person in the world.

Two of the poles and the poles stayed in the center of sight.

Myeonghun trembled and dug deeper into the darkness of the alley.

Entering the officetel, staring at Su Hee and reconstruction.
