Big Life

24 – Dragon Rider (15)

“Hello?"

- Have you had lunch?

“I did. It's already a few hours. What about you?”

- I had a good meal. I finished my meeting.

While exchanging a few words with him everyday, he laughs nonsense again.

Jae-in looks back at his smile reflected in the mirror.

“You should eat well, even if you're busy. Look at how much blood has gotten better lately. Because you eat well, it works quickly. ”

-Whose orders are they not listening to? Oh, by the way.

Suddenly, the guard sighs.

“What's the matter, Director? ”

- No, I was thinking of taking it for the weekend because I know a good place, but I thought it was the Prelate's reunion.

“Hey, Director. Actually... ”

Jae-in briefly explained the circumstances of the reunion. She said that there were more people than expected and that she had to check out other restaurants, so she kept waiting as if she was waiting.

- You told me to talk to you right away if you didn't know the place. I'll see what I can do.

“Really?"

- Yes, I do.

“Director, I'm so sorry about this small thing while you're busy. ”

I was relieved that Kyoho recognized me. Jae-in lets out a long sigh of relief, completely relaxed.

- It's just one phone call. Oh, and...

Kyoho hesitated for a moment.

- Are you okay for dinner tonight?

“I was waiting to hear from you. It's okay."

Beyond the radio, the guard laughed.

I also liked Jae-in, so I was holding my mouth with my hands that was about to burst into laughter. I don't think I've ever felt this heartbroken in front of my favorite senior in my teenage life.

What about Clumsy?

I'm glad it feels like a refreshing spring even in December.

“You want a new American edition? ”

“We talked to Aiden at the Open House. ”

A cafe in Ahyun-dong's palace.

Today's rebuilding drink was still Iced Americano, regardless of the cold.

Eugene, sitting across from him, was holding a warm cup of tea in both hands.

“I took your feedback and thought about it a lot. The conclusion that they needed a massive amendment to fix what they had pointed out, everything from volume one to completion. ”

“Things have gotten bigger. You must be very busy.”

“Things have grown since the moment I decided to go to the United States. Well, that's okay. It's not new, and even if it's fully repaired, it's at retirement. ”

“But won't it take a few months? ”

“I'm glad it's been a few months. Anyway, this year is definitely over. ”

Reconstruction took a sip of coffee and added.

“Consider and revise if you are going to write part two. ”

“You've been thinking. ”

“I'm just thinking. I've barely got the whole idea. I was quite inspired by the fan fiction written by the American readers. ”

“I've read about it, and it's been really fun. It'll work no matter what you use. ”

The café door opens with a bell.

A woman in her 30s was carrying a baby in her arms. Eugene smiles deeply at the mouth of looking at them.

“Thank you, Eugene. ”

“· · · · · · · Yes? ”

Eugene took notice of the words of a somewhat unexpected reconstruction.

“Suddenly what? ”

“You're connected to a great business, like an open house. ”

Eugene narrows his eyes, smiling and running away.

“Ha, you were ready, so you just accepted it. If it was another writer, he might be mad at me. Are you going to introduce me to a company like that? ”

“I see.”

“· · · · · · And I'm the one who's going to thank you. I'll never forget it. ”

Looking down, the reconstructive face had a complicated smile.

I couldn't have known it was a thank-you for the masterpiece.

However, it was still unclear whether or not it was a good thing. Had it not been for Su Hee's advice, she would have ignored it and ignored it.

After thinking about it, the reconstruction concludes the conversation with a joke.

“I said good. Eugene needs to be in Korea so I can ask you straight away and work comfortably whenever I have a problem. ”

“Oh my, do you have a hidden nature? ”

The two of them laughed and stood up after a few more conversations.

Reconstruction drove Eugene into the car even though he was walking. And I took her to her father's house nearby.

“Thanks for the ride, Hah. ”

“You know you should never do anything bad for yourself, right? ”

“Absolutely not. You said that before.”

“Once you meet him, once you break up with him. I'll take good care of you and get back to you. ”

Reconstruction drove Eugene behind him waving his hands.

The next destination is Bucheon's author's office.

I write my own writings and look at the writings of new writers.

Glug glug!

My phone rang while I was driving.

The reconstruction of the brake in front of the enemy's signal frowns at the liquid crystal.

Why did you call me all of a sudden? ’

Lee Jeongbae was the head of the local municipal library where the reconstruction was lived. I exchanged numbers when I spoke at the library a while back.

But this was the first time I heard from him since that day.

Reconstruction connected to Bluetooth and received a call.

“Yes, are you the enema? ”

- Oh, Dr. Hae-won. Yes, that's Mr. Lee Jeongbae. You still have my number. Hahaha!

A cheerful smile echoes through your ears.

Reconstruction smiled silently, always remembering the figure of him who came out before I thought.

- I called a few times, but she's not answering. That's why I called you on my cell phone, just in case.

“Oh, yes. If you called the library, I might not have picked up. I don't usually get numbers I don't know because there are so many strange calls. ”

You haven't been able to show up in the library lately. I was worried and wanted to give you a call.

“I've been a little busy lately. Thank you for your concern. ”

The answer was curious, even though it was so. The local librarian calls himself to say hello because he's concerned about a citizen?

On the other side of the radio, there was a cheerful voice from the librarian.

“Actually, Sir, if you weren't so desperate, could you do one more lecture in our library? ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · Yes. ”

From the point of view of the librarian, I am not a citizen.

Reconstruction, which reminded me of that later, stepped on Axel in line with the green signal.

The conversation seemed to be over soon, so the enema continued while we were driving on the road.

- Once again, there is a year-round demand from the local residents that they would like to listen to the rebuilding teacher. The complaints of those who did not attend at that time were not alone. I know you're eager to get started, but I was wondering if you could spare me some time at the end of the year or the beginning of the year.

“Hmm, yeah. ”

In a stopped car, the reconstruction reminded me of that time.

Purely sparkling eyes and listening to the lecture came to life.

Especially the baby's mother, who came to rest and listen to the lecture, remained in her own memory.

- I'll do my best to see what I can do for you. I will never crack your reputation, including steel fuels.

“No, steel-fuel stuff. ”

- And the Old Commissioner's coming. Mr. Hae Jae-gun has expressed his desire to attend, as this is a place that contributes to the development of the community.

Reconstruction sighs in a stalled car.

I am thinking of readers who will come with a pure heart, and I am the former chairman of Steel Fuel Nee. I felt like my labor was broken by the words of the inept enema.

- This time, if the Old Commissioner comes, the event will be unparalleled, and I will do my best to shine your name further into the world.

“I'd like that. ”

The unheard reconstruction cut me off.

“You don't need fuel. It doesn't matter who's there. If I accept this, it's because my readers love my work and want to communicate with me. Anything else you're referring to is not important to me. ”

- Oh, yeah. Teacher, I don't just mean that. I want to emphasize that I am not the one who will become your reputation. Sorry, yes.

The enema covers up and repeats its sins.

I felt sad and sorry for that, so I rebuilt quickly.

“I'm entering the office right now. We'll check your schedule and get back to you. ”

- Thank you, sir. I'll take a look and get back to you.

Reconstruction after hanging up the phone grabbed the handle again.

While going to the office, his mind was leaning toward speaking.

It's the public agency's intention to host the event. It doesn't matter anyway.

* * *

Tadadadak! Tadadak! Tadahak!

"Wow, I can't rest this!" ’

I rubbed the face of Seong-hyun's face and put out my tongue behind my back.

As one of the four new residents, he had already been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic office atmosphere.

"Why do you keep writing like that? ’

His unbelievable gaze leads to reconstruction.

Six hours passed after the reconstruction arrived at the office. Other than resting for about 10 minutes for a cup of coffee in the middle, I kept writing.

In fact, it was not only Sung-hyun who was surprised by the concentration of the reconstruction. Although it was not uncomfortable, Jae Hee, Yoohyuk, and Bong who moved in with Sunghyun were also feeling a little under pressure.

"I can't take a break either." ’

"Yes, I need 20,000 more sleeps today! ’

An invisible flame appeared among the newlywriters under the influence of reconstruction.

I couldn't stop trying.

The sound of a keyboard pounding like a rainstorm kept ringing in the office.

“Well, it's already time. ”

Suddenly, the reconstruction stood up, muttering. I looked back and saw the newly arrived writers lighting their eyes and writing.

“It's time for dinner. Let's all get some rest. ”

Reconstruction clapped their hands and told them.

Existing writers take care of their own meals, but these are new tenants. Until I could figure out the atmosphere and make a voice for myself, I needed to be considerate to live a regular life.

“I'll make dinner for you, sir. ”

Bong, the only female writer, stood up coldly.

Reconstruction smiles bitterly and grabs the outfit.

“Eat something delicious while I'm there. And don't call me teacher. Let's get dressed and go out together. ”

Reconstruction brought new writers to a nearby arcade restaurant. And I ended up in the local sushi parlor that I often use.

“Enjoy your meal, I'll buy it for you. You've eaten a lot and you've worked hard to write good articles. ”

“Oh, I really appreciate it. ”

“I'll eat well, too. I've never eaten it because it's expensive. ”

Writers took their favorite dishes and began eating delicious sushi.

The rebuilding suddenly showed that only Bong's face was dark.

“I'm a writer, are you uncomfortable? ”

“Yes, it's nothing. ”

“Do you have any concerns? Let me know if you have any concerns about the article. ”

In addition to the party, Bong, the other three writers stopped chopping at the same time.

They were guessing what Bong's affliction was.

“Actually. ”

Soon, Bong was unlucky.

“I debuted when I was 20 years old. ”

“Okay, so that was five years ago? ”

“Yes, but I didn't really know, so I just assumed it was a good deal, for three years. ”

“Three-year contract? With where?"

“Sea media.”

Reconstruction felt like blood pressure was rising somehow. He rubs the back of his neck and asks like a pet.

“Keep talking. So?”

“I found out later, but the conditions were not good. It was five to five on the payroll and e-books. The number of tickets was five years after the date of issue. ”

Following the explanation, the reconstruction was thinking of Chairman Jung-gu and Representative Park Kyeong-soo.

While he was suffering, Bon was somewhere, too, spending a time of persecution due to maritime media.

“Anyway, it's past tense, and I think it's my own fault that I made the wrong deal in any case. The problem is... ”

“Problem?”

Bong lifted his head and replied with tears.

“The debut piece was a paper book, and I retrieved my publishing pass in April this year. If you look back now, there's a lot of work that's missing, and it's embarrassing. But he was secretly selling it. ”

“You're secretly selling the work that you recovered from the publication? ”

The nodding rod is already tingling with furious tears.

“You don't have to sell it on any platform. I retrieved the publication, and it's my work. And then all of a sudden, I get a call from a friend, and he's selling his burritos in the Google Market. ”

“So what did you do? ”

“Of course I called. He dropped me off right that day. But a week or two later, another company was secretly selling it. I said it again, I got off at sea media, and this ridiculous thing has been repeated seven or eight times already. ”

Reconstruction was ridiculous, and I was speechless.

I didn't think the media would be this desperate.

In addition to being ignorant and writing about the law, it is illegal to abuse the tendency of writers who are not familiar with it.

“Eat first. ”

After thinking about it, the reconstruction lifted the chopsticks and said. In retrospect, it's been a long time since I spoke to the media. It was a rebuilding that instinctively shattered the molars as I recalled myself in the past.

“Hey, Jae-in. What the hell happened to you? ”

“Yes! How the hell did you book this place in December? Is that the biggest room? ”

A Chinese restaurant in Yeonhie-dong, Seoul.

Many motivators who led Jae-in could not keep their mouths shut.

Sook-hee opened her eyes like a frog.

It's not a place where anyone can come when they want to.

Almost everyone who enjoyed TV and was interested in cooking knew this. Usually, if you want to eat here once, you need to make a reservation 3 months in advance.

Especially at the end of the year. Jae-in made a reservation for this restaurant in the summer with an early reunion in mind?

It was a sound that didn't fit back and forth.

“Hey, what the hell is this place? ”

Somewhat lacking in knowledge, I asked my friend next to me in a cute way. My friend insisted on seeing all the stars.

“Don't you know this place? You know, the chef from the cooking program. What was her name again? ”

A friend quickly took out his phone.

At that moment, the door of the room was opened with a knock.
