Big Life

36 - Leave with clap (8)

“Oh, my silver. Grandma's finally hugging me. ”

I couldn't resist the nuances of the people.

The reconstruction was aimed solely at the manuscript on the screen.

Shaking sensation and excitement.

Is this really a novel written by Tae Jin?

“Where's the reconstruction going? ”

“I have something I need to read for a while. I'll be in my room. ”

I knew the attachment to my son's writing well, so I didn't ask for more.

The reconstruction enters your library in a month and closes the door firmly. Lika, who has been in the library window frame for a while, cuts down and approaches.

“Meow.”

“Lika, wait. I'll finish reading and play for you. ”

Reconstruction turned on the laptop while stroking Lika with one hand on her knee. Then I loaded the manuscript file of Tae Jin onto the screen.

‘Five Dreams’ was a kind of growth novel set in the 1970s.

The main character is five boys aged 14.

Everyone is a couple who was born in a poor family and has been in good company since childhood. These five have a common denominator who secretly likes the beautiful teacher of the school.

In addition, the five boys have their own dreams, as the title suggests.

A is a vent singer, B is a track player, C is a quarterback, and D is a writer.

Finally, E is an embarrassingly deceitful dream. He cheats people around him and benefits from his habitual lying personality. He blamed my father for his fraud, but he inherited his temperament for some time.

One summer day.

Five people who were playing in the neighborhood have news like the blue ceiling power. My favorite teacher is lying down with pulmonary tuberculosis.

When there was no remedy to treat.

The five boys accidentally get information about the man that the teacher wants. Gear leaves Seoul with only a few pieces of information during vacation. To bring a man from Busan to meet a dying teacher.

But we can't even get halfway to Busan, so we run out of room.

The five boys make every effort to use their untamed talents to continue their journey.

But the reality is not greener.

A is taken away from the gangsters by begging for money while playing ventilator all day long.

B, the athlete's dream, is to get caught by the police while stealing the money that was stolen from the thugs again.

C reaches its origins to keep betting GO and gets kicked out because he is young.

After all, there were five boys who gathered at the extraction site because of captured B.

In front of the parents who were contacted and rushed back, the boys told them the purpose of the trip.

After hearing the story, the deportation warden simply identifies the man. But the man you craved in Busan was already dead.

Knock!

Lyka, crouching at her knees, raises her head.

A drop of reconstructed tears wetted between the nostrils of Lika.

“Ahh · · · · · · · ·! ”

The sound of your breath bursts from your mouth.

The reconstruction pauses and grabs the wrinkling nose. Deeply empathizing with the sorrowful flesh of the five young men, he wetted his eyes for a long time.

“This novel is amazing, Lika. ”

“Meow?”

“I saw you again. How nice of you to write. You should read it first. ”

* * *

The reconstruction swallowed the crying and read the rest of the volume. Soon after that, I put it in both eyes until the last moment, and he took a long sigh and fell down on his desk.

‘Awesome. ’

I didn't think elasticity would stop in my bloated chest.

After the joy of being a reader passed, the shock of being a writer again was restructuring. In just a few months, how can this change the color of the writing?

In addition to the world the five speakers were looking at, the sentences expressing their impressions felt different. I thought that Tae Jin might have been a well-groomed article for a long time.

Glug glug!

The phone rang and a call came from Juju.

Reconstruction clears his voice and lifts his cell phone.

“Oh, Joon. ”

- Why is your voice so locked up? Is it a cold?

“No.”

- Or what?

After hesitating about the rebuilding, the horse seemed a bit chic.

“I was reading some · · · · · · · · novels, but should I say sequelae. I'm a little distracted because it's so good. ”

- How good is it to be impressed by Harebuilding? I wonder who wrote that novel.

“I'll tell you about that later. ”

- Expensive, again. Anyway, don't be late for dinner.

“Dinner? Oh, right. Yeah, we're having dinner tonight. ”

- Look how much I completely forgot. Hey, rebuild. I'm staring at Tae-Bong. It's the studio because of the CF. I'll see you later.

“Okay, I'll see you after work. ”

After hanging up the phone, Reconstruction sent a message without dropping the phone. The recipient was brilliant. I read the article well and asked to be contacted after work.

However, after sending a message, a phone call was made in less than a minute.

“Yes, oh Jules. ”

- I just wanted to call you right away. How was it?

“I was so moved. ”

The voice of reconstruction resonates with unwavering excitement.

“Whether it's sentences or developments or novel fun, I haven't found a place to point out all my topics. It was a piece of art that I needed to learn, rather than point out. I was shocked. I was moved when I read it and cried. You're amazing.”

Reconstruction continued to quickly continue with genuine sentiment. There was no reason to interfere.

“I loved the use of fiction from five boys. The man you crave was already dead in an accident, but the boys don't give up. Have you read it?”

- Yeah, I've read all about it. So the trickster plans to hide the fact that a man is dead, as the boy dreams. for the first time in my life, a white lie.

“Yes, so the writer wrote a letter for the teacher, just like the dead man did for the boy who was dreaming. She is happily welcomed to her death feeling a love for herself with Orlot in the letter. ”

Reconstruction smiled, tasting the vivid end of the brain.

“The dream of the five boys who really shined through the smile that she left behind · · · · · was really nice to describe that part. Thank you for letting me read, Jules. ”

- Ha, my father would be delighted to hear from you.

“No, I'll write my own audit. Oh, by the way! ”

Reconstruction reminded me of one thing I felt later, and raised my voice.

“I have one point to make. Isn't it the cultural treasure of racing? ”

- Yes, it is. But all of a sudden, why did you say that?

Reconstruction continued by reviewing the ‘Five Dreams’ manuscript.

“It's not a very important scene. in the early days when five boys were going down to Busan talking to each other. where they were talking about what they were going to see, and they were talking about hyperbole and intraocular pressure. ”

- · · · · · ·?!

“Hello? Oh, Jules? ”

- Oh, sorry, I was listening, yeah.

Myeong-seok's answer came back late, cutting the radio waves.

Suddenly, the reconstruction felt trivial.

Then, it seemed like his voice had subsided for some reason the whole time I was on the phone. He is praising the work of his father, Taejin, but it is not a very pleasant atmosphere.

- Thank you so much for listening to the quality, Dr. Ha.

The voice of Myeong-seok, which had been narrowed indefinitely, felt like a dream.

What the hell is going on?

Myeong-seok finished the call with the word "urgent work", and the reconstruction did not find an answer.

* * *

Knock, knock.

“Uh, come in. ”

The door was opened and Myung Seok entered the library. Taejin, who was tapping the batsman with his back, sniffed out the smell of booze and turned around.

“Have you been drinking? ”

“Yes, Father. I drank alone on the way in. ”

“By yourself? Are you stressed out by work? ”

Taejin, who woke up, asked with a anxious expression.

Myeong-seok heavily shakes his head to the left and to the right, and lets out a big sigh.

“No, it's not about work. ”

“Then?”

“It's my father's novel. ”

Taejin's eyes, filled with curiosity, narrowed to a point.

Myeong-seok lifted up the stack of documents in one hand to the front of his chest.

It was the manuscript for Taejin's novel 'Five Dreams’.

“Father. ”

“What? You have to say it. ”

“No · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“No? What the hell is this nonsense? ”

Myeong-seok took off his glasses and pressed his fingers against both temples. At first glance, he stumbles in a very painful tone, and slowly clicks his lips.

“This means that my father's writing was not. ”

“ · · · · · ·?! ”

Taejin opened his eyes.

The blood feet stand on the edge of his neck, forgetting to breathe.

“What is that? ”

“I can see that, Father. I was the most talented editor of my father's life. I read every one of my father's works dozens of times. So... ”

Myeong-seok dropped his head, unable to join the horses.

It wasn't until I read ‘Five Dreams’ that I realized for sure. A feeling of inferiority that has plagued my father in his old age. In the recurring nightmares, the emotion that made both hands shake was inferiority.

“Please be honest with me. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

Taejin raised his voice.

One hand was already on the desk behind my back. Without it, he couldn't bear to collapse.

“I'm now · · · · · · · · copying someone else's post? Is that what you want to say?! ”

“I hope you can tell me that yourself. ”

Kuang!

Taejin punches the side of the bookshelf right next to him. The shocked bookshelf spits out a few books.

“How could you? That's what your eldest son said to me! ”

“Father! ”

“How can you say such an insulting thing as leaving a rich relationship and being a doorman? · · · · · · · ·! You're just talking to your father like he's nothing! ”

“I've thought about it a lot too! Why would I drink alcohol by myself because I'm not confident in my temperament?! ”

He took a step closer and spoke in a harsh tone.

“I'll fix the question! Tell me what it was that inspired you! You didn't finish this by yourself! ”

“This guy, though! ”

“Not just five dreams, but the feeling of otherness that you felt on your last masterpiece trip today! ”

“What, what?! ”

Immediately, Taejin's complexion turned blushing like the corpse of a morgue. He squirms like a water-lost crucian fish, and his lips are like a thunderstorm.

“After reading up to five dreams, I realized for sure. My father told me it had been prepared for years, but it wasn't. My father wouldn't do that. If you had finished the draft of this piece in the first place, you would have shown it to me already. ”

“Well, it's a work of great devotion. ”

The excuses of Taejin, who was sighing and trying, did not even work.

The polite eldest son was disconnecting from his father for the first time in his life.

“Besides, I don't know if it's supertuberance or intraocular pressure. ”

“ · · · · · ·?! ”

“Why are the five boys going down to Busan talking about the cultural treasures in the race? He couldn't have mistaken it for something like this. It must be missing because you haven't been able to retire. That is, this! ”

I took a breath before Myeong-seok came to a conclusion.

Taejin wanted to deafen his ears.

“The destination has changed from racing to Busan. ”

“And, Myeong-seok · · · · · · ·! ”

“The destination of the original five dreams was not Busan, but Race. He turned the race into Busan for some reason. And you probably wiped a lot of fingerprints off the race. And that's why we're accelerating as we get to the end. ”

The ‘Five Dreams’ manuscript was crumpled in the clutches of Myeong Seok. He stared at Taejin, who couldn't even meet his eyes properly, and he added.

“There was something in the world I shouldn't have seen. ”

“Shut up!”

Taejin yells at the carpet on the floor.

“I wrote it! It's a novel I wrote! ”

“He was a great entrepreneur, and he made a name for himself. Until the moment he declared his retirement, my father was a wonderful man. How many applause have you received? So please. ”

Hot tears poured down from the two eyes of Myeong-seok.

“Please remain that splendid figure. in the memory of so many people, including myself. ”

“Get the hell out of here! Get out of my study! ”

As the commotion grew, Tae-jin's wife, who was hesitant outside, finally came in.

I was dragged out of her hands, but she couldn't stop crying. I felt sorry for my father who had achieved great wealth and honor but had none.

“Tell me the truth! Yes, only the fact that I wrote it is true! I copied someone else's article? Don't talk nonsense about knowing because you're my son. Bring me proof! This is my writing, and it will be published, so I know it! I don't need the help of the one who passed it on to you! ”

The hissing of the evil echoes of Taejin continued towards the bright lights that were far beyond the corridor.

After all, that night was a very long and long time ago for both rich people.
