34 - Where to go (2)
Tyring.
‘· · · · · · · · · · · Editor? ’
The prestige entered through the laptop video calling program. Bondi used to come and go when she needed to have business conversations.
Reconstruction took the Bluetooth headset out of the bag and hung it on its ear.
“Sir, I've got my headset on. You can speak up. ”
- Oh, yeah. I want to show you the back of the evil three-chain cover and the new band. Which one of the three do you like?
“Hmm, everything looks good to me. Decide what you think is best for the editor. ”
- Hahaha, got it. So that's what design is going to do, and I actually have some news that you might be surprised by.
“Surprise news makes me nervous before I hear this. ”
- Have you ever heard of a film, Miss Ha?
“The raw film · · · · · · · · · ·? It's not a strange name. ”
Since the mid- '90s, there have been a number of fairly thick films that have been released, and they've been a bit overwhelmed in recent years. But I'm still a good producer with a lot of people.
“I'm still searching. ”
The reconstruction that I searched on the internet continued to search for the stock film.
Based on the results of the search, it was quite a producer. Mostly reconstructed films, and many of my favorite works still stand out.
“A lot of famous works. Now I get it, but why are you suddenly talking about raw films? ”
- He asked for information about a malicious writer. I wonder who Aiden Smith is.
Reconstruction opened its eyes instead of answering.
On the radio, the steed was continuing.
- because of copyright, because malicious reactions are good in Korea, some investors have been talking about it.
“Does filming malicious movies mean investing? ”
- Yes, he told me with the intention that he thought he had enough elements to feed the Korean market because he was adopted as the American background. And I think that it also acted positively in all the places of evil that Mr. Ha had secretly melted Korean emotions.
“Right · · · · · · · · ·. ”
Reconstruction laughs and receives words.
You should be happy first. It was published overseas by hiding the identity of a Korean. I was pleased with the fact that Korea was the first place to tackle the film proposal.
- And I have one more important thing to say.
“Go ahead.”
- At the end of the call, I heard about Director Woo Jae-hoon.
“ · · · · · ·? ”
The smile fades from the face of the reconstruction. At this point, I felt so unreasonable that the name of Jae-hoon was mentioned.
“Why did you mention Director Woo Jae-hoon all of a sudden? ”
- Director Woo Jae-hoon praises me. It's between you and the film director. I don't think what they said on SNS or on the broadcast was a bad idea.
Reconstruction sighs without a sound.
I couldn't feel the supreme praise of Jae-hoon, whether I meant it or not. However, he cautiously asked because he had a mild premonition.
“Editor, I was just thinking, is it possible that Director Woo Jae-hoon was mentioned? · · · · · · · ”
- You noticed that, too. Yes, that's right, he wants to make Woo Jae-hoon a director.
I heard the laughter of the bright seats digging into my ears.
Reconstruction was ridiculous, so I had to answer with a smile.
- He didn't say it directly, but he did say nice things about Director Woo Jae-hoon. You're so eager to produce a film that you can hardly ignore the excellent performance of the director who is not seen in commercial films · · · · · · · · · · You said you know better than anyone else because you are the senior. Why else?
“That's interesting. So what did the editor say? ”
- We have no information on the author. So I contacted the American publisher and told them that I would try to talk to the writer.
“Thank you. I don't think Aiden Smith would approve of what you just said. ”
Once again, I laughed together as if it was a promise made by Myeong-seok and reconstruction.
Right after.
Reconstruction suddenly realized the existence behind the phone that I had never felt before. An old man in an upgraded robe stands tall.
Of course, the two pupils of reconstruction that immediately recognized him were enlarged.
“Hey, Editor. I'm sorry, but I'm in a bit of a hurry. I'll call you back. ”
- All right, I'll see you later.
Myung Seok has left the video calling program.
Reconstruction stood up to greet the old man without removing the headset from his ear.
“Good morning, sir. ”
“There's no need to get up. You're busy.”
“Neither. Did you stop by for a walk? ”
“A walk. Would you excuse me for a moment? ”
The old man glances at the spot across the street and asks.
The reconstruction immediately suggested a nod and a polite gesture.
“I'll get you a cup of tea. ”
“Enough with the car. Talk about the novel. ”
“A novel? ”
“What happened? Is it finished? ”
The reconstruction settles down on the road.
After turning off the manuscript for 'The Bress’ and bringing in the manuscript for 'Evil’, he turned the laptop screen towards the old man.
“Something has changed. It's not that long, would you like to read only the ending? ”
“Hmm · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
The old man shrugs and pushes his face toward the laptop screen.
The scene was just before the protagonist of 'Evil’ threw himself into the river.
“You've read it all. Next page.”
“Yes, sir. ”
Reconstruction pressed the page down key to pass the manuscript to the next.
The old man's eyes move with the manuscript. I didn't know my mouth was going to open.
I was nervous about the reconstruction across the street, so I put my hands together.
"Evil" has already been published and is the color of amber. Nevertheless, I was very excited to hear what kind of assessment I would get from this old man.
Right then.
A cafe owner appeared over the partition that was blocking the spot.
“Sir, I'm sorry, but are you busy? ”
“No, sir. What's going on?”
“I've got an ambitious creamcake for this new product. I just wanted to see if it would fit your mouth. ”
“Ah, yes. Cake.”
Reconstruction mutters and looks back at the old man. I was still busy reading the manuscript.
“Sir, would you like a sweet cake? ”
“I hate sweetness. Eat as much as you want. ”
The old man stood up in a slightly blunt tone without taking his eyes off the manuscript. The embarrassed reconstruction looked at the boss and begged for understanding with a bitter smile.
The boss was smiling as if he knew.
“Ms. Grant, can I have a plate? ”
“Okay, just give me 10 minutes, sir. ”
The boss passed the partition and returned to the counter.
After a while.
After reading the manuscript, the old man raised his head. For a while, he lowered his eyes and squinted his head as if to savor a novel.
“Good.”
It was the first word that came out of the old man's mouth.
The face of the reconstruction immediately filled with bright joy.
“Are you sure you're okay? In fact, I heard what my elder said when I saw him before, and I fixed it. I think it's a lot better this way than dying like that. ”
“I listened to the old man's wishful thinking. ”
“What are you talking about? The people around me also told me that I liked the ending that they changed together. It's hopeful, it's longer-lasting. ”
The reconstruction lowers its head deeply so that the nose touches the table.
“Thank you very much, sir. My novel got much better thanks to that one word that my elder told me. ”
“I'm fine. I'll look up. ”
Reconstruction raises its head again.
Looking up into the void, the old man said in an unconscious tone.
“There was a writer as clever as you. He was my apprentice, but he didn't lead me well. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
The reconstruction tilted the torso forward and lifted both ears. In all these years, the old man has never properly mentioned anything about his statue. I wonder what they're trying to tell me.
“I liked meeting you and talking to you about things and thinking about him. So you should be thankful for this old man. Goodbye.”
Saying so, the old man got up from his seat.
Reconstruction stood up behind him, feeling his pulse drop.
“You're leaving already? ”
“We'll see you later. Don't show off, it's annoying. ”
The old man stabs him in the eye and turns away.
Reconstruction sits on the back seat, staring at the old man's disappearance beyond the partition. Anyway, it wasn't that there was no income. As I had guessed, the old man was a doorman.
“You've waited a long time, sir. ”
Reconstruction wakes up from the old man's thoughts and raises his head.
The boss smiled shyly and put the plate of cake down on the table.
“This is the first time. It looks funny, but it tastes confident. ”
“Nice shape, too. Let's try it. ”
Reconstruction took one piece of cake with a fork and put it in your mouth. I smiled because of the fresh and sweet taste.
“It's very good. ”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, I'm not a culinary expert, so I can't put it differently. It's not just sweet, it's textured, and it's delicious. This will sell well. ”
Standing with a tray in his chest, the boss was dumbfounded. After leaving a message to enjoy, he turned around and asked the reconstructor with a slow thought.
“Sir, I think this is a dumpling. I'm sorry, but could you take one of those whole wheat cakes? ”
“Yes? Oh, if that's what you're asking me to do. ”
Reconstruction responded by removing the Bluetooth headset that was wearing on the ear. The boss scratched his back head and nodded.
“I don't think he likes sweet things. ”
“No problem. I don't know when I'll see you again." ”
“Oh, there you go. Okay, then enjoy. ”
The boss turns around and the surroundings are quiet again.
Reconstruction slowly ate a plate of cake, chewing on the horse that the old man left behind. Then I fell back into the second part of The Breach.
The old man praises me, but I feel a rush of energy coming from ten fingers.

‘Evil’ was unquestionably nominated for a second public curricular prize.
A new line of evil was naturally added to the back of the chain. It was unnecessary to say that there was also one more belt.
Final nominations will be announced on October 25. The awards ceremony will take place on November 2, the next month at a restaurant called Druen in Paris, France.
The restaurant is a traditional place for public meal awards to ordinary citizens.
“The prize is only KRW 15,000. ”
Su Hee muttered as she watched the TV with the classics on. The reconstruction, lying on her knees, bursts into laughter.
“Yes. At least one dish of the famous omelette in Paris should be enough to feed the winner. No, a plate of omelette would be $50. It's symbolic, anyway. ”
“Yeah, it's just a symbol. I've been learning since college, but it feels so new since my husband became a candidate. ”
Su-hee bent her torso and kissed the cheek of the reconstruction to make a sound.
Reconstruction also turned around, lifting Su Hee's shirt and pushing her lips into her bare belly. Su-hee giggles as she pushes out the reconstruction without resisting the tickle.
Glug glug!
The phone rang and a message flew from the seat.
According to the contents, it was an address link for an Internet portal cafe. Reconstruction tilted its head and clicked on the link.
[City of the Malignant]
“No, what is this? ”
The reconstruction immediately cooled my spine. On the black side, the bloody black phrase seemed ominous and grim at first glance.
“What is it? ”
“My editor sent me a link to the cafe. What kind of cafe is this that has such a bad name? ”
The reconstruction mutters and scrolls down. Looking at the long list of café bulletins, he kept his mouth shut. Su Hee was surprised as well.
“Oh, rebuild. Isn't this a group of evil readers? ”
“Oh, yeah. ”
“20,000 members already? Oh, my God, give me your phone. Sign up and I'll do a sweep myself. No, it's not. Sign up with my phone instead of your username. ”
Su-hee pushed the Buryburia reconstruction and got up.
While she was out looking for her cell phone, Reconstruction called Myung Seok.
- Yes, Miss Ha. Have you looked around already?
“No, I haven't looked around yet. There are all these cafes. I had no idea.”
- I'm sorry, I didn't know until today. because one of the readers called the company. If you look around the cafe, you'll see that at least everyone guesses it's a fun conversation.
I was more energetic than ever in the voice of Myeong-seok.
- The number of members has skyrocketed since word got out that he passed second in line. Readers' reactions are amazing. Aiden Smith is a completely unfamiliar writer with no known subject matter.
“Yes, hahaha · · · · · · · · ·. ”
- So I want to offer you a cautious proposition, knowing your personality.
“Proposal?”
- Yes, for the readers of the Cafe of Evil. as Aiden Smith, not as a reconstructive writer. Depending on the content, it's going to be quite an issue, and more people are going to read maliciously.
Myeong-seok added without waiting for the answer of reconstruction.
- Of course, sir, you don't have to. First of all, let's have a quiet look around the cafe tonight. Lots of interesting articles.
“Very well. I'll take a look around and call you back tomorrow afternoon. ”
- Ah, sir. I'm sorry, but I may not get a call tomorrow because of the policy discussion, so I'll get back to you this evening.
“Yes, the policy debate was tomorrow. Director Yoon Tae-sung and Director Lee Eun Ha are going to attend. ”
- Yeah, I called too. The arrival of a couple of overseers.It looks like their relationship will be fruitful soon. Hahaha.
After hanging up the phone, the reconstruction took Su Hee to the 'City of the Malicious' cafe.
Reconstruction was decided, feeling the love of the sincere readers.
Even in the name of Aiden Smith, I have to answer to them.
So I started pounding the keyboard.
Tadadadak! Tadadak!
“What are you writing, rebuild? ”
“Aiden Smith is translating an instant letter to the reader. ”
I did not know how to rebuild until the moment I finished more than ten lines and took the dot.
I wrote this simple letter with thanks to the fact that things will get bigger with the sunshine.
