Big Life

39 - Big Life (2)

“Yeon-woo, the reconstruction is for your brother, but his office will be here soon. They said they'd eat with us until dinner. ”

“Really? I went out and tried to eat noodles, but I had to put up with it. Great, I'll pay for today. ”

“It's going well, right? How many tens do you get at a time? The world has changed so much. Yeon-woo is becoming a popular teacher who rides cable. ”

Minho nodded and shook his head, beating the keyboard behind the finish.

“Yes. It's been a long time since I've been sober at a convenience store, feeling depressed that I won't write. ”

“I would have gone to the extraction site and brought it myself. ”

I also helped Eun-young who was working with the talking husband.

Yeon-woo immediately blushed and frowned.

“Oh, come on. Why do you and your sister keep talking about embarrassing old times? Those were times when I was a little lost in the storm? It was just a transition period that everyone was going through. ”

“Yeon-woo, aren't you in puberty? ”

“Wow, I see. Thank you for pointing out exactly what's not important, Jae-hee. You can pay for your dinner later. ”

“I'm just kidding, bro. Tell him he doesn't have any money. Just take a look at it. ”

Jae-hee became depressed and hung on Yeon-woo.

Seeing that, Eun Young suddenly remembered the existence of another person and clapped her hands.

“That's right, Somi's here. ”

“Oh, right. Team Leader Jung can join us for dinner. Can you do that? ”

“I'll go in and ask him. ”

Eun-young pushes the chair back and stands up.

Somi was editing alone in a room that had been used exclusively for reconstruction. Occasionally, I am allowed to use this room when I see editing work in the author's office.

“Hey, Somi, can I come in for a second? ”

“Yes, sister. Come in.”

Eun-young opens the door and enters the room.

Somi was just finishing her edits and saving the manuscript.

“Go to dinner. ”

“Oh, I'm sorry. It's going to be a tough day. ”

“Haha, I heard you were coming. ”

Somi smiles, her eyes crescent-shaped.

“But it's hard. I have to go down to the East Sea. ”

“East Sea house? Why all of a sudden? ”

“I just want to see my mom, so I'm going to go. ”

“Too bad. Have a good day. You're leaving right now? ”

“Yes, I was just about to get up. ”

When I saw the two women coming out of the room together, the writers gathered their attention. Somi explained her situation to everyone and said goodbye. Then I opened the front door and left the office.

Right after Somi disappeared.

“Why don't you tell me again? ”

The microscope brought Yeongwoo to the corner and whispered. He was the only one who knew Yeon-woo liked Somi.

This is why Yeon-woo used to talk about it when they drank alcohol together.

“It's over.”

Yeon-woo smiled bitterly and held back briefly.

In fact, a few months ago, I preached my heart to Somi again. It was a confession I challenged with confidence as a man of my heart. Unlike the old days, we are now firmly grounded.

But the second time ended in failure.

Somi smiled softly but firmly refused Yeon-woo's heart.

He also added that he didn't want to date a man for life.

It was a lotus that naturally emitted a heavy sigh when the landscape of that day came to mind.

“If I hated it so much, that's what I'd say. ”

“What are you mumbling about? Say that again. ”

“It's nothing. Have a cup of coffee, brother. ”

“Don't change your words. ”

When Yeonwoo and the landscape went to the kitchen, chattering.

Somi was just getting off the elevator on the first floor. I lowered my head with a crooked foot to look at the dead grass.

‘I couldn't say. ’

In fact, there was a story that I could not tell the writers, and Orloth remained in the center of my heart. I didn't want to blur the office atmosphere that was excited about the rebuilding coming.

‘Let's talk next time. ’

Somi stepped forward slowly, looking down at my feet. A lot of people were coming and going. I will soon miss this noisy, cheerful, but cheerful city.

The daughter of the sea, who had become accustomed to urban life, had already been smiling with sadness.

Right then.

“Meow.”

The cat's cry suddenly rang in my ears.

Somi stops walking and raises her head.

The distinctive outcry was definitely a sound that was very familiar to her. I could barely keep my ears open.

Did I hear that wrong? ’

Even though I looked everywhere, I could only see people rushing back and forth.

Somi tilts her head and takes another step. Something scratches her calf from behind her back before she can even set her first foot on the ground.

“Yuck!”

“Meow.”

Looking back at the floor, Somi raises her eyes.

A beautiful, furry cat was looking up at him. An elegant curved tail, four straight feet and two resplendent eyes. It was so lovely, Lika.

“Oh my God! It's Rika, isn't it?! ”

Somi couldn't hide her greetings and immediately embraced her.

But shortly after, she shuddered. There's no reason for Lika to be wandering around this place alone.

“Are you leaving? ”

As soon as I thought about his existence, I heard a voice.

He stood wherever Somi's gaze reached. With a smile like the one we met a long time ago.

“Writer Ha · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Somi holds Lika by the neck. I was soaking wet because I was leaving alone. Suddenly, I was faced with a rebuilding and I was speechless.

“I just got a text from Minho. You said you were on your way down to the East Sea. ”

“Yes, at home. ”

Somi shuts up, not talking. I was uncomfortable because I was about to be roughly overwhelmed by the reconstruction. In the face of a miraculously staring reconstruction, she soon hardened her mind.

“Actually, I've decided to quit Laptops. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

The reconstruction slowly shakes its head.

I was not surprised that I had already heard from Tae Won.

“Actually, I'm leaving after the full moon. I'm going down there today and I'm going to talk to my parents, and I'm going to discuss my future plans. ”

“If it's a plan in the future. ”

Reconstruction is clouded by thought.

Since when?

Somi's talents began to flourish in painting rather than editing.

“Are you sure you want to do the right webtoon? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Somi looks down at Lika in her arms and shyly replies.

“But Webtoons take a long time to prepare. I'm going to retire and go down to the East Sea and relax. In the meantime, I'm going to get a web novel cover and a game illustration, but I'm going to be calm about it. ”

“That's great, Somi. You've raised your price a lot. Oh, I'm sorry. Not Mr. Somi. ”

The reconstruction knocked itself out and hit the horse.

“Now I have to call you Mr. Jung. ”

“Ugh, no! I'm so ashamed. Please, let it go. ”

“What's wrong with you, Jung? Writer Jung Jung-mi? ”

“Ow! I can't hear you! I can't hear you! ”

Somi turns and buries her face in her body.

Reconstruction laughed joyfully for a long time, forgetting that it was in the middle of a hall where people would come and go.

“It's all because of you. ”

Waiting for the laughter to subside, Somi said.

“If Oscar's dungeon and The Breeze weren't there, I'd be a webtoon, so I wouldn't have a chance to challenge him. ”

“You say that again. It was originally Somi's gift. How many times do I have to tell you that I only asked for it because it was good and even my taste? ”

Somi smiles again, having a good look at the reconstruction that narrows her eyes.

I've been doing that ever since I met you. No matter what this man did, no matter what he looked like, not a single moment was not good.

So contradictory, on the other hand, it was a sad feeling.

"Haha, can I do it well? ’

I've held on to it so many times.

I was wondering about this road that was going alone.

Can we get through the fence we've been guarding so far?

Can we leave the good people behind and stay calm?

“Mr. Somi? What do you think?”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The rebuilding voice echoes in your ears like an echo.

Somi couldn't open her mouth.

The opposing Pokémon should not be fooled by the least. The only words I couldn't get out were hanging in my heart.

“Meow.”

Lika's head is in Somi's heart.

At that moment, the reconstruction was clear as day that Lika's eyes were shivering and flashing.

‘Lika · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·? ’

The reconstruction opened its eyes wide.

A strange yet familiar sensation was seeping into my head. In the middle of a winding landscape, Somi still stands with her head down.

‘This is Somi's emotion? ’

It must have been sharing emotions through Lika.

Reconstruction was not understood daily.

All of a sudden, why would she use her ability to feel Somi's emotions? The question was solved naturally with Somi's emotions completely embedded.

‘Somi, you're scared. ’

Fear and expectations were equally chaotic.

An invisible Hou stands in the way. At the entrance of the road, Somi stands without an umbrella and rolls her feet in a circle.

“Mr. Somi. ”

The reconstruction opened the door with a gentle pat on Somi's shoulder. Knowing Lika's intentions, it was time to respond.

“Trust yourself and walk. ”

“ · · · · · ·? ”

Somi's eyes widened.

The enlarged pupils only held the face of reconstruction.

“You should be proud because you're really good. I guarantee you, don't worry. Just keep walking. ”

“Writer Ha · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Of course you're scared because you're new here. Maybe it gets stuck on the way. You don't know what people do. But when it does... ”

The reconstruction grabs Somi's sheep shoulder and turns her back.

From the elevator that just went down to the top floor of the officetel with the writer's office, all the landscapes caught Somi's attention.

“Remember, Somi is not alone. ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Somi's eyes fluttered violently.

I realized how stupid I was thinking. It was a new beginning, not an end, but a foolish mistake.

So I smiled, tearing my eyes.

“Thank you very much, Writer Ha. ”

“You're welcome.”

Somi's two hands, which were limping helplessly, held an umbrella.

With this, any horn can be stopped. The last piece of the puzzle, named Courage, looks good.

“I'll do my best, and I'll do my best. ”

“Yes, have a safe trip. ”

Somi gives her to the reconstructor and turns away.

Two pieces of tears, which would not be shed twice in my life, poured down my cheek. Really, Somi insisted that this was the last time.

A naughty man who became the husband of another woman on my birthday.

Every time you put candles in a birthday cake and light it, you'll remember.

I'm gonna put a light bulb in the middle of that fence that no matter how far I reach, I'm not gonna be able to reach it. It's just a view I can see whenever I want. That's enough.

One or two more cheerful steps continued.

Somi pushes the door down as hard as she can with her bare hands.

A new world has opened up.

* * *

“Oh, Joon. ”

Your voice is fading.

“No, I just put my silver down and sat down to write. ”

Reconstruction responded by pressing the power button on the laptop.

The clock was just past 10: 00. There was only reconstruction and two ribs in the library that illuminated a subtle amber light.

- Well, what time is it? I'm already asleep.

“Normal people sleep a lot at this time. Why is it so noisy? Are there any people next to you? ”

- Tae Bong is with Chae Lin and Yuna. All of a sudden they want to eat chipmunks. I'm going out to eat now, but you should come.

“How do I get out now? Enjoy your meal. I'm late. I'll be there next time. ”

- What's the delay? It's only 10: 00.

“Marry me. Do you think you can do it whenever you want to? ”

- I can do whatever I want. I don't know anybody.

“I'll put Soo-hee on the phone for you. Say that again. ”

- You scare a human off with a little prank? Hey, rebuild. Yuna's in a commotion. Hey, wait a minute.

Reconstructed brother?

The voice behind the handset changed from JooJooJoon to Yuna. I assumed that the sound of a real laugh had already been quite drunk.

“Hey, it's Yuna. Well, he said he was going out for a drink, so I guess you've already had one too many. ”

- I had a little beer, a little beer. Heh heh, brother. Not only that, our next single title song. When's the lyrics coming out?

“Oh, that. ”

- Tell me the truth. Are you even using it?

“Of course, I'm wearing it. Yeah, it's still on. ”

Reconstruction grabbed the mouse in a hurry.

I forgot because I didn't have a history.

He closed the manuscript 'The Bress Part 3’ and loaded the ‘C.Y Part 4 Single' file and floated it on the screen. The lyrics written were three lines long.

Reconstruction commented with three lines of lyrics.

“I've written ten lines already. It'll be over in three days. ”

Did you write ten lines? Show me that.

“I'll show you when it's done. Wait a little longer. ”

- Ugh, no! I want to see it now!

There was a commotion over the radio.

The phone returned to its original owner and heard JooJoon's voice again.

- Sorry, the kids are already in a bad mood. You look like you're working. I gotta go. Live happily ever after.

“What else is there to live for? Anyway, I got it.Enjoy your meal and give Tae-Bong my regards. ”

Reconstruction hung up and put down the phone. Su Hee, who came behind her back without hesitation, stood with her arms crossed.

“Do you think she's being held captive? ”

“Huff!”

The reconstruction is frightened and shivers. Rica jumps up and down, listening to the sound of her sleeping outside and crawling into the study.

“Why are you so freaked out? Lika and the snowflakes. ”

“Suddenly, it appeared behind my back. ”

Su-hee pulled out a book from the bookshelf and sat down by the reconstruction.

Reconstruction looks at her with both hands on the keyboard.

“You wanna read a book? ”

“Yes, am I interrupting? ”

“No way. It would be nice if you could read to me from the side. ”

“That's a relief. ”

Su-hee wipes the head of the disfigured reconstruction and smiles. And as soon as I opened the book, I quietly started to put the writing in my eyes. Once she finished the book she opened, she rebuilt and sold it.

“Su-hee.”

“Huh?"

“You know how beautiful you are when you read? ”

“I know.”

“It's too easy to admit. ”

“You said it yourself. You've been stealing books from the library ever since college. ”

“That's what I said? ”

“Memory sucks, really. ”

Tadadadak!

Tadahak! Tadahak!

Reconstruction beat the rider cheerfully with his loving wife by his side. I felt like Su Hee's focus was added to her reading. The writing of the lyrics for C.Y was getting stronger and stronger.

“Happy · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Huh? What did you just say? ”

“No, it tastes like lyrics. ”

The rebuilding laughed and rebuilt.

Where else in the world would there be such a perfect space?

Lika and snow brushes crouch across from him, and Su-hee sits beside him in the most beautiful picture of the world.

I was happy enough to have my nose turned black.

“Eat some apples. ”

“Thank you.”

While chewing the apple, I didn't know that the ten fingers of reconstruction would stop.

Perhaps the day will never come when it will stop. The world is vast and full of text. The person who likes my writing more than anyone else in the world is still watching over me.

Recognizing that it was impossible, the reconstruction looked out the window at the night sky and prayed.

May this fascinating night transcend time and eternity.
