Chemistry

4. Serenade of Snow Flowers (5)

* * *

In the supply closet.

Jungwoo was thinking about the chemical company "H Innovation" with the fireworks hanging on the floor.

“Are you getting this right? ”

I turned to applause. A friend with a camera in his hand that looks expensive enough to see where he borrowed it from waves his hand.

“Wait, the angle. There you go."

The applause focused on Jungwoo's face smiled brightly.

“My Jungwoo is handsome! ”

“Stop trembling and focus your hands. ”

“4k video. It's all there. Don't worry. Just work. ”

Jungwoo, who sat with his knees bent in front of the fireworks, asked.

“Where did that cameraman come from all of a sudden? ”

“I borrowed it from a professional cameraman I know well. Every time I see him at an event like this, I just get to know him. Of course, I've introduced you to a lot of good spots over the years. ”

Park Su-chan muttered, focusing on Jungwoo's fingertips in the screen classifying the fireworks.

“I still can't believe you set it up. It's amazing."

“Well, I don't really believe it these days. Have you ever walked over the Han River Bridge? ”

He looked at Jungwoo, who had taken his eyes off the camera.

“Huh? What do you mean? ”

“Never mind.”

The bravely torn firework packaging combined with a fountain of sparks calmly poured out the contents of the inside onto the next paper.

“I said I'd teach you, but I can't give you the details of the principle. ”

“Why?”

“You wouldn't understand if I told you. Just keep watching, keep repeating yourself. Remember every location and number of these black powder pellets I put together. ”

“· · · Will I be? ”

Jungwoo replied by gathering the grains along the ‘T’ character of TOT on a piece of paper.

“I don't know. If you don't want to die, I'm your bitch. ”

“Khh, you're right. I'll memorize it hard. Tell me how it works, because you don't know. If it does not interfere with the work. ”

“Don't interrupt. ”

“I'm going to play the recording dozens of times. I'm the door. ”

“I'm just overwhelmed. ”

Jungwoo opened his mouth thinking quietly.

“Making a letter in the air is not something you can think of as simply burning a letter-shaped wick. We bundle them up like this, with different reaction rates, and actually we burn them all at once. Some of the gunpowder is already in the firing range. Some things go up. Some are slow enough to shape letters, 0.1 seconds. ”

Jungwoo tears out another firecracker and holds a grain of copper powder in his hand.

“Elements and electrons in here. No, imagine there's a star. ”

“Stars?”

“Use your imagination. Electronic satellites, like dust, that move atomic stars and orbits next to them. If the energy is transmitted from the outside, these dusty bastards will run wild. And I was like," This sucks! ’One of the dusty stars made a green light! They blow it up. ”

“Whatever.”

The applause kicked in.

“Pay attention. That's why it glows green when you burn this grain. and the rate at which dust particles become irritated. It governs the moment when the flame shines. ”

“Wow, Jungwoo, did you say that so well? I didn't get it, but you're like a chemistry teacher now. ”

“Really?"

Jungwoo coughed and polished his clothes. And I continued to work with the description.

As more than 20 minutes passed, the 1st set of launchers was completed.

“Here's the TOT off. ”

“That was quick.”

“In a minute?”

This is only possible because we are directly observing the small universe of the chemical system and touching it. Jungwoo added that he was wondering.

“It may seem simple, but it looks easy because you're avoiding the conditions that could cause a combustion reaction. ”

Jungwoo glanced at the dust particles that could generate static electricity and said,

“It's dangerous to look at, like this. You threw grenades at the new chapel, didn't you? I'm warning you, if the instructor throws it wrong, it's over. If you think this combination has failed, try throwing yourself behind an obstacle. ”

“Should I get a license to manage dangerous goods? ”

“License?”

“What if the fireworks go wrong? ”

“Oh · · · I'll go to Mun Byun when I get admitted. ”

“Hey, wait up. I am thoroughly trained and acknowledged. Now I'm going to follow you around, but in a decade or so, I'm going to do something in my name. ”

I don't know if my friend's dream will come true, but I thought Jung would be happy.

“Don't forget this grace. ”

“Well, well. ”

I put a spoon on it to make sure it was thanks to you. Nobody knows what's gonna happen in a few years.

After about an hour and a half of work, the fireworks have been set for a total of four teams.

“Well done, Jungwoo. Let's move it and have dinner. ”

He puts the camera on his shoulder and holds one of the projectiles in his hand. Jungwoo grabbed the other side and opened the supply closet door, but I could see the people running through the hallway.

“What is it?”

“On the other side of the waiting room, it looks like they're crowding for autographs. ”

He walked towards the entrance and applauded.

“That's usually allowed by the manager. Just before the stage, I got ready to be pretty with my fans. ”

“Hey, what about me? What about Yuhui?”

Jungwoo realized that he forgot his autograph and photo and became the face of wanting to be among them even now.

“I can't deal with the crowds right now, and I'll talk to the director. I admitted you. It'll be simple. ”

“Don't forget. ”

After escorting, you place the launcher in front of the stage.

Jungwoo watches the applause that connects the igniter and sees a stranger approaching the stage. It seemed to be walking towards itself, so I looked into his eyes.

“Mr. Jungwoo? ”

“I see.”

A man in his late thirties, dressed to perfection, greeted him.

“I am the head of Starpeace Intelligence. ”

The man immediately took the matter out.

“I wanted to ask you about the hot pack you gave to our singer Yoon Iseol earlier. ”

Yoon Iseol's eyes widened in applause for coming in person.

Jung asked the manager.

“What's with the hot pack? Is that wrong?"

“No, I was really surprised by the effect. I was wondering where you got it. ”

“Uh, that's... ”

I couldn't quite figure out what to say, because it was handmade using a dust star, but the applause I was listening to just bounced off my finger.

“You mean the two I bought you earlier, right? That's the convenience store out front. Does it work that well? ”

“Was it for sale here? Thank you. Yoon Yi Seol was very grateful. I don't know if you need this. ”

Chief Ji gave Sidi with the signature of Yoon Yi Seul to Jungwoo.

2 regular houses out this fall. The cover was smiling modestly, but photographs of the country's sister, whom it felt more lovable.

Jungwoo accepted the reflexes.

“Well, good work. ”

As soon as I thanked him, I was embarrassed to see that he had disappeared neatly into the entrance. The user stalks the already lost target and blurs it out.

“Earl, Lim Wu. ”

He looked at Jung with an admirable face.

“He drank coffee alone. Did you give me that hot pack? Pretend you don't care. ”

“Hey, you. How can you say that? ”

“What?”

“What I've given you is not something you can buy. The oxidation was rigged to go faster. It took me a long time to do one. ”

“Oxidation of what? No, I don't. You hesitated. I bought it for you, so I told you the truth. ”

I couldn't say it was a friend thing. The dust has done much better than I expected.

He wrapped his hands around Jungwoo's shoulders.

“He's just a hot pack, and he's thankful to send his manager. And, by the way, how did you end up with the big star in one fell swoop? If you ask me to take a picture after the stage, I'll be happy to do it right away. ”

“That doesn't mean anything. ”

“Do you know? With this, Yoon Iseol might be interested in you. ”

Jungwoo looked at Yoon Yi Seol's pretty face in the album in his hand and waved his head.

“Don't waste your breath. What do the beloved stars of the whole country have to lose to an ordinary man? ”

In response, he sighed deeply, saying, "Oh my friend."

“Jungwoo, you're as realistic as a woman. When Eun-sil moved in, too. ”

“The Chamber? Always talking about that. It's freshman year.”

“I'm dreaming. My director's wife is a model. He met me during an event.”

The applause pointed to the side where the choreography was.

“Let's report it and deal with Bob first. ”

While walking, the applause asked for something else.

“Don't you have a crush on the company you go to? ”

“Nothing.”

“How about a pretty girl? ”

As I was fixing it, I thought of Dr. Moon and Song Bo-young. They were smart and glamorous, leaving just high beauty.

“That look on your face! ”

“I don't know. I haven't had time to think about it since I've been busy at work. ”

“Relaxation? I don't know. I like to be comforted and comforted when I'm having a hard time. Those of you who are so pretty at the company, I need your help. Like you helped me earlier. Then you wouldn't have fallen in love with him. It's not like you're falling off the wagon. Not as much as me. ”

“Thank you.”

“Huh?"

“I've been thinking. I don't think Moth Solo's going to give you much advice. ”

A pricked applause clenches his fist.

“Yes, I've learned to love people in writing! ”

Director Kim, who was doing a final check with the sound team, turned his head as Jungwoo and Suchan approached.

“Uh, dinner. Is it over?”

“Yes, I'm all set. ”

“Well done, both of you, and rest well before the show. ”

Jungwoo said, "Yul-hee." He nodded his head as soon as he noticed.

“Director.”

“Huh?"

“You know her best friend manager, right? Can Jungwoo get Yu Hee's autograph later? If it's cool, the photo won't hurt a bit. ”

Director Kim glanced at Jungwoo with a smile.

“What, were you a fan of Yuhui? ”

“Oh · · Yes. ”

“I'm surprised they're still new. I'm more of a fan than just saying you're the best when you're in good shape like a trainee. Okay."

Director Kim, who dismissed the applause like an egg, nodded happily.

“I was going to have dinner with the managers after my inspection anyway. I'll go with you. ”

“Really?"

“You can eat and follow the manager of your girl friend. I'll tell you then. ”

After accepting it so simply, Jungwoo was rather surprised. He shrugged his shoulders with a ‘see’ eye.

It was about the time I waited about 10 minutes for dinner together.

“Jules is coming in. ”

A middle-aged man walks into the tent with someone's voice.

He looked about fifty years old with clear hair, but he didn't feel that old because he was dressed in a fancy suit with a big height.

Director Kim saw him setting up the speaker volume and immediately ran away with a change in face.

“Mr. Salt! What are you doing here? ”

Jungwoo looks at Kim Mujin, who makes a tone of voice that is completely different from the way he treats himself and his friend, and looks at him and asks him who he is. Applause replied with a small voice.

“It's the Lord of events. ”

“No way, is this the representative of TS Mall? ”

“Yes, Mr. President. I hear you run a bigger logistics company than here. ”

It made a difference from the clothes I was definitely wearing. Jungwoo's attention was naturally drawn to Jungwoo as he watched the verbal punishment right in front of him.

“Director Kim. I need to ask you something. Is there some kind of eye-catching machine on stage? ”

“Snow? It's usually a paper shower. A barrel full of paper powder is used to create the effect. ”

“Ah. What exactly does that feel like? ”

“Wait a minute, Jules. Bonjour! Bring me my tablet! ”

Directed by Director Kim, Chan runs out like a bullet.

“Then why are you asking me about eye makeup? ”

“It's because of an event at TS Mall. ”

The Salt Representative points to a banner hanging on one side of the square. Jungwoo also turned his head and found an event phrase that he used to look familiar with in the middle of the winter.

[Big sale in December when it snows! Your gift is bursting!]

“That, as you can see, is one of the most uncomfortable events in winter. ”

Director Kim looked away as if he hadn't heard ‘this son of a bitch from the head of the business' for a while. It was probably a discount event organized by the head office.

“I don't know if Director Kim knows, but I haven't seen snow in Seoul since December. We've been walking for the last half hour and we can't move on. ”

“Is that so? But is there any problem with that event? ”

Director Kim looked at the salt representative with a glance, saying that shopping mall income is good if there are no discounts.

Salt said with a bitter smile.

“Winter discounts also aim to make stocks cheaper during the year. Plus, when a customer visits the mall, they feel happy at the end of the year, which increases their return rate. If it snows all month, you can see the deficit, but that's not so bad. More potential customers. But now · ·"

“Here it is! ”

The applause rushes in, handing the tablet over to Director Kim. Director Kim immediately found the old stage footage and handed it over to the salt representative.

“Wow, this is what it feels like. Not bad.”

“It looks similar because it's illuminated, it's very different from the actual eye. Especially when the paper touches the skin, the eyes are cold and soft. ”

Director Kim, who explained it, asked me what I thought.

“Are you sure you want to shoot a paper snowflake through the event? ”

“I see.”

“Load and shoot a piece of paper to hold it for 30 seconds. If it's a surprise during stage time, it's not as easy as looking at the real thing. Cleaning up later is another one. ”

“Is there really no way? ”

Director Kim, who was looking at the square, escalator and stairs, muttered.

“Paper showers are basically Spray sugar powder or apply styrofoam grains to create an eye-catching effect? Spray snow on it periodically. ”

“So that's it, right? Thank goodness. We have a big event today. Don't you think if you make a surprise event out of snow in this plaza, you'll be more talkative? On a snow-free day, customers look in the eye. I also like the title of your promotion. ”

“No, Jules. This is something that you have to prepare for at least a day. The event starts at 7: 00, and it's not for two hours right now. ”

“· · · · · · Is it? ”

The Salt Representative looks sad.

“Professional choreographer, but you still have the answer. The Head of Business is just saying that at least a day will come this month. ”

Director Kim had to make a bitter smile.

“Keep an eye on this week's forecast and if you really don't come, we'll have to do it by the end of next week. I'll set a budget, so make it as real as you can. At the end of the year, I ask you to make sure you are comfortable with your family without worrying about the company. ”

“I'll be ready. ”

“Secretary Jung. Keep track of this schedule. ”

“Yes, Jules. ”

The secretary who stood politely behind the seats immediately replied. After finishing the instruction, the salt representative sighed.

“Last year I planned an event called 'Snow on Christmas', and it didn't snow. I had a white Christmas event last year, and I didn't see it. I planned this year for December. And when this is over, the customer bulletin board will go crazy. Of course, the head office. ”

The Salt Representative acted like he was beheaded.

Listening not to the distress of the CEO of the mall, Jungwoo looked at a window made of giant glass.

The evening sun was setting and there was no cloud. As I saw in the morning, the snow was never going to come.

"Snow."

Is it because I vaguely imagined I'd miss you? The clear sky behind the glass ceiling of the mall grew closer to Jungwoo's view.

‘What. ’

A cold reaction flashed before Jungwoo's eyes like an illusion.

Ice stars that look cold. A drop-like particle adheres around it and begins to freeze.

The ice star grows larger and becomes a transparent crystal that spreads its wings in six directions. Then I flew into the air and fell down on the cheek of Jungwoo.

‘Kicked · · · · Ah, not cold. ’

There was a chemical reaction that flashed in Jungwoo's head at the moment when he smiled at the fake sensation when he saw the virtual snowflake.

‘This is... Should I tell him? ’

I made up my mind that there is nothing to lose.

“Hey, Director. ”

As Jungwoo opened his mouth, Director Kim and the salt representative turned their heads at the same time.

“Yes, you've been waiting, haven't you? I'm not done talking to Jules right now, so go ahead. ”

“Well, I have something to tell you about the conversation you're having. ”

"What's wrong with you again? ’I grabbed Jungwoo's arm. Jungwoo tapped his friend's hand to calm down, then looked at the two people looking at him.

Director Kim asked.

“What do you mean? ”

“Here. What do you think of spraying real eyes? ”
