Great Novelist

Bugs on the forehead (1)

“Hey, I'm sorry I'm the only one who knows this. ”

“Don't be so gossipy. ”

“It's not that you don't understand. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

He chewed the abalone, saying. The best mouth was filled with a shrimp. I moved my mouth without even looking at myself. At the end of the meal, the best man spoke up. It was also why he came here today. The best explained to her the area she wanted to cover and named her professor. The professor knew her.

“I was wondering if you could introduce me. ”

“There's nothing wrong with that. I wish I could have just called. ”

“You too. What's the point of meeting people if you ask me that? It takes a few clicks in the same world these days. The world of diminishing relationships is sad. ”

Impressive. However, the calculation was not deceived.

“You're trying to get some useful data, right? ”

“I'm watching while I'm here. ”

He was not interrupting the conversation of the two and was looking out the window at the mountain. In the middle of the mountain, something like vinyl shines with a light. You see the bag hanging from the end of the tree.

“Sister, he's already writing his next piece. ”

At that time, it was best to refer to yourself as an expose. The calculation was surprised and asked.

Already?

She was particularly fascinated by her speed as a writer who wrote for a long period of time.

“I have something I want to write about. I'll see if I can find something to publish. ”

“Love.”

The best interferes and puts the horse on. Calculation alternates with best.

“Love is the one who won the world's top four literature awards. Not bad.”

“I see.”

“Have you ever been in love? ”

The answer was also the best.

“Yes, but they won't tell me. It's pathetic.”

“Sensitive age. Are you seeing anyone right now? ”

“Nothing, nothing. The guy with the girlfriend must be forgetting his abalone here. ”

The best came up with the correct answer. I wouldn't have gone to the amusement park with him. He opened his mouth, turning to talk.

“Well, it's still conceptual. ”

“People will notice a lot. ”

Calculation talked about his experience. She also remembered that after she received the international award, the article received a completely different attention than before.

“The Italian award completely changed the sales unit. Prizes are just as powerful. How about you? With those fancy modifiers on, I'm sure I'll have to close my eyes. ”

“That's a burden.”

“You don't have to try to write better than before. But don't go backwards. You know that, right? ”

She said calmly. I knew it. I just laughed, looking for a moment to talk back.

“But my job is the same. ”

She nods.

“Call me if you need anything. Like this guy. ”

“Let's just go to our valley. ”

Best said with a crooked jaw. He didn't like talking about the awards. It was a sudden offer, but now that I'm full and his business is done, I have nothing more to play with. Everyone was ready to get up and leave.

“The water is clear. ”

Water flows under the small bridge in the mountains. It splits to the sides with a huge rock in the middle. The three of them went down and sat down in the middle. You see a small fish. Frogs jump from afar and cross the water. Every time the water flows, there is a sound. It was full of the noise of life. He immediately took off his socks.

“Cool.”

I soaked my ankle all at once. The arrow that passes between my toes gives me goosebumps. I can see the leaves coming down from the water. I tried to grab it by my feet for no reason, but the leaves flexed down the flow. The water splashed out of my feet.

“Play nice. ”

“Come and soak your feet. ”

“Enough. Bones. ”

The two people didn't think about getting up against their buttocks on the small mats. However, I felt that I was enjoying the valley with a relaxed look on my face. I put water in my hands and flick it back towards you. The best grabbed a branch and threw it into the valley. Water splashed.

“You really don't move and you get revenge. ”

“I will return it free of charge. This is real revenge. ”

“Awesome.”

Calculation slaps the egg from the workshop on his head. In front of the water, he complained about the egg, but no one listened. Calculation chewed the boiled egg in one bite. The egg smells faint. I cracked a can of cider and handed it over.

“I'd like one, too. ”

Best picked up an egg. He chases the dragonflies flying over the rocks with his eyes. There was something in the dragonfly's mouth. It was like a fly. The dragonfly chewed the black fly around with its front foot. I wondered how many things were eating on this mountain.

“Come and eat, too. ”

“Yes.”

You climb to the top of the rock with your wet feet. You sit beside the best and take the egg he gives you. The liver was bare enough not to need salt. The best was life. I hear the sound of running water.

“Let's build a tower. ”

The best finds a stone nearby and raises it one by one. He gathered a moderately flat, medium-sized stone around him. The best places the stone like a very easy puzzle. The final eight stone towers are completed with only one finger.

“Are you gonna make a wish? ”

“I don't make wishes. ”

“Then I should pray. ”

The calculation closed its eyes and lightly joined the choir. She makes a wish out of her mouth.

“Let me live a long life writing fiction. ”

As she moves her hand, the black sleeve comes down. She laughs. In the daytime mountains, I could see her very well. I looked up at the sky. It was a good day. It was peaceful. The clouds flow calmly. I took a slow inhale. A unique scent of acid enters the room.

“Huh."

I shouted without even knowing it. Something's stuck to my forehead. With my eyes closed, I can feel the weight on my forehead more clearly. Before closing my eyes, I saw a black object falling from the sky. It moves. You hear a cock next to you. You hear the tower collapse. I heard the egg crack. Everything was the best sound.

“Bugs!”

The best said the identity of life moving on his face. He slowly raised his hand and lifted off the insect that landed on his forehead. He came into my hands peacefully. You hear a violent inhale next to you.

“Throw it away! ”

The best said with a white, dull face. It was desperate. He smiles, and opens his hands as if to see. The worm flies. You hear another desperate scream. Luckily, the worm doesn't go to him, but comes back and sticks to the inside of his arm.

“Nice color. ”

The calculation said comfortably. The best was to kill alone. He made a wish in search of the gods who treated others.

“Let's live in a world without bugs. ”

Unfortunately, Bill Tower's wish is gone. The worm starts crawling around his arm as if to see.

“What insects? Beetles?”

“I don't know. I don't see him much either. ”

It had a blue skin around it. I took a closer look. It's the size of a finger. It has six legs, two antennae, and wings on its back. He won't have any experience in the world. I might be young. I approached the humans fearlessly. Those who did not know fear could be as brave as they could be.

Humans who do not know the dangers will be punished. Above it, the shadow falls. The best branches were holding the branches. Thickness and length are different from what you saw earlier. He swings his arms horizontally. It was to drop the worm.

“It's dangerous.”

He grabbed it by the hand and said. I felt the wet branch. For a moment, there was a struggle with the best. The branches do not move because of the grasping force on either side.

“There will be poison. You're dead.”

“Stop making such a fuss. It's cute when you look closely. Here."

He pushes his arm in, and his judgment is impaired. The expression is vivid. The unfiltered emotion rises. I wanted to see more.

“Here.”

As he gets closer, he panics and runs away. Very fast. Someone who could get up that quickly worked up quite a bit earlier.

“When I said dip your feet, you didn't move. ”

“One more step and there's no tomorrow. ”

“You speak harshly. ”

I decided to stop at this point. The worm clings to him in a friendly gesture, as if he knew he was protecting him. He takes up martial arts for protection. I reached out to him. He immediately returned the reaction. You slowly move your legs and walk into your hands. My mind was clear. I'm communicating. We're getting to know each other. The calculation looked at the bug. He looks at her and starts moving towards her. The best is five steps further.

“You get bit later. ”

I ignored my best warning shout from afar. A stammer as long as the body is busy moving. The slight touch of the palm made me feel this little fella alive.

“Is this snow or is this mouth? ”

“Is it snow? ”

“I hope so, too. ”

“Poison! Poison! ”

The best was still holding the branch. He is terrified that a hideous insect might fly towards him. The snow doesn't fall from the insect. The situation is disgusting, but you can't help but look at the other person. I felt that I was not surprised to fall in love at any moment. His heart will be beating fast.

“It's moving around a lot. ”

Like the math says, the worm moves around in the palm of his hand. You slowly flip your hand over as he tries to move over the back of his hand.

“Cute.”

“Ugh."

The best was excessively nauseous. But seriously, it's cute. I remembered what the speaker said one day. It's affection. It's no different from that insect exploring into his hands. I was giving up my body and trying to get something out of him.

“Cold?"

Calculation asked for a feeling.

“That tickles.”

I said what I felt.

“That's disgusting.”

The best who didn't even ask answered. There are three eyes around the worm. The worms continued to move their legs without hesitation. It might feel like a big tree to him. A mysterious tree that can move branches or leaves. I wonder if he's wandering around trying to make a sanctuary somewhere. The worm sticks its head out between its fingers. An elongated trachea flickers. I put some pressure on my finger, and then I pulled back. He's good at back-stepping.
