Great Novelist

“That was fast. ”

When the staff near the door heard the story, I could feel them sneaking up and looking outside. He questioned their appearance. I checked the time again. There was still a long time left.

“Why are you here so early? I haven't even opened the door yet. ”

Nam-Kyung immediately answered the question of whether he knew why.

“Aim for number one. I'm pretty proud of the number 1 printed on the license plate. ”

“So I'll meet up with those people over there later? ”

Meet at the beginning of the Sign Association. I looked carefully at their faces. Some people were talking to each other. It wasn't a boring face. I saw the person who was crouching at the front of it. When I saw it rising, I turned around.

“If I see him now, I'm sure he'll be steamed, right? ”

“Let's go to the back door. ”

I turned to the other side of the door with the penis. I didn't meet anyone while going to the car I had carved nearby.

“Let's fill you up. Once the signing starts, there won't be any water to drink. ”

At the words of Nam-Kyung, he nodded. The manager said so, and everyone around him was splendid. It must be a difficult event.

“Speak up because you can take a break in the middle. ”

“Yes.”

I got in the car and replied.

“A lot of people will come, right? ”

“Of course they will. It's a coincidence.”

“I saw a guerrilla interview on the air yesterday. I'm on the side of a silent actor. ”

It was an interview set in Hongdae. The camera captures people surrounding him. His popularity became real.

“Oh, I saw that, too. A knight.”

He nodded, saying that he knew too.

“It's not that crowded, is it? ”

Nam-Kyung stared ahead with a subtle expression. The car is moving.

“Wouldn't that be similar? ”

“No way.”

I said that and thought about food for breakfast.

*

I was out of breath. But I ran. I had a place I needed to get to sooner than anyone else. It was still early, so no one was on the side of the road. I ran as fast as I could. I've had this experience thanks to someone. I felt a good vibration in my heart.

“First Place!”

I thought so, looking at the tightly closed bookstore and the empty surroundings. It's six o'clock. He arrived here for the first time. Looking inside the bookstore through the glass window, I thought of the planned path in my head. Where to distribute the numbered table. Where the first edition of Alexandria will be. The quickest way. The most accurate path. I took out my phone and looked at the store map to check. Since I even answered the dictionary yesterday, this way, I can line up the fastest and attach sticker number 1 to the book for the first time in a coincidence. I sat down on the stairs. I opened my bag and took out the wrapped kimbap. It was early morning.

“Please succeed. ”

Failure must not happen. I chewed the amulet with a firm will. I took out my phone with one hand. A group of cafe members who were supposed to attend the writer's autograph today remained chatting. There were quite a few people just getting up and getting ready. I was proud of myself here. You move your finger to spread the word. I'm in front of a bookstore.

“Ah.”

You sigh behind you. I could feel it in my gut as soon as I met my eyes. We have the same goal. He glanced at the bookstore and himself, then went down to the front of the door to gently stand in line behind him.

“You're here for the coincidence writer signing today, right? ”

“Yes.”

The voice of confirmation contained sadness. But where's number two? I listened to him.

“Did you know where the number was distributed? ”

“Yes. Information already. ”

The second place spoke to him. After handing out kimbap, I got a chocolate bar.

“Let's take a picture of each other. By your side when you sign. ”

“Okay, I'll leave a trail from a variety of angles. ”

“In fact, every time I read the bug trail and took a picture, I get nervous. ”

“Me, too."

The second rank, which is short for "bugs leave no trace," looked familiar. We actually talked about coincidences. Number two was about insect tracks.

“It was really impressive to get two pictures in America in two months. ”

“I've already gotten over the fact that I took a million copies of the first edition. That's where we are overseas. ”

“What would it feel like to actually meet them? I only imagined the answers I read in the interview. ”

There was also a coincidence in each of them. He also imagined a lot of coincidences about who he was. The broadcast showed a serious appearance, but when I thought of the place, it was not easy to see it as usual.

“It seems like a mature person, but not surprisingly like a child? And when I saw this book plot, I promoted it in a very pleasant way. ”

“Speaking of which, I'm not really feeling it. It's a funny coincidence. because it's a glamorous image, it's heavy, it's a little bit of a cliché. ”

Second place agreed with what he said. And before reading a book by chance, he said, "This isn't the first time I've felt this way."

“Even when I heard crying, I rebelled. ”

“Oh, right. Coincidentally, in the debut, it was purity that matched age. ”

“It was similar in sublimation. ”

“That's a problem. ”

“I thought I was going to be a literary writer, but I also changed my name to speak the language of God. ”

“That was a divine move. ”

Second place opened a backpack that was loaded and showed me the language tradition of God in it. I brought it even though it seemed to weigh a lot.

“I'm going to get signed here today. ”

“All of it?”

“I'm sorry about that, so I have to ask you to do it on the side. All at once.”

The language of God brought by second place was the first published form of book. He said aid is better than a book published again as a hardcopy. It was a firm taste.

“The nettewood publisher is good at his job. Pull up the book cover. I never thought I'd run into a writers' club so early. ”

He added that it was like a dream. I empathized strongly. Coincidence does not appear well at off-the-shelf events. I could tell by the number of interviews he received. The fans who knew him were not even expecting a signing.

“That's why I'm more excited. ”

I feel like receiving a surprise gift. After talking about it, people gathered. The more people gathered, the more I liked the fact that I was in the front seat. They all line up behind them. The bookstore door will open in about an hour. You squat and scratch the cold floor with a branch. The tender branch was quickly broken. As I lift my head, I can see a person through the glass door. It's a coincidence. I thought you were supposed to be an employee, but it was a coincidence.

“Huh?"

As he stretches his crooked legs, he turns away. I was stunned by the rapidly disappearing shadow and asked the second person standing behind me.

“Did you just see a coincidence? ”

“Yes? Who? ”

Second place just turned around. I was talking to third place. It was a short while ago, but it was definitely a coincidence. It's a coincidence I'm already at the bookstore. Today is a coincidence, but it's not a strange day. It was complicated in my head. All I could think about was my expectations. I'm nervous. The plans I made last night to relax have been revisited.

I'll buy two first editions and take one as a copy. That's how I decided. Especially this book. The golden cover that I saw beyond the monitor was the most glamorous book of coincidence ever made. Incidentally, the cover of a book from school was printed inside. He was the school's head of coincidence and was an unusual acquaintance. As expected, nettle trees are good at their job. There was enough reason to live by the element of Fragment alone, in addition to the incredible promotion. You know what information to leak. This article is new. Again, we can see a new side of coincidence. Alexandria. Just a moment.

“It's time. ”

You hear a voice behind you. I looked at the time. 9: 25. Five minutes until opening time. I checked my shoelace. I've packed everything. All you have to do is run towards it.

“30 minutes.”

I ran into the bookstore and heard the employee say hello. I didn't need it all and had to buy a book first. Professional, Children's, Overseas, Domestic. I rolled my eyes and checked the location. It was then that I discovered gold. There are golden books piled up right next to the register on the inside.

I grabbed the gold with joy. I'm calculating, and the crowd behind me gathers in gold. The book that was piled up was quickly reduced. The visible speed is amazing.

“Thank you."

I got the receipt and ran. I returned on my way to the event hall located in the middle of the bookstore. The employee asked with slightly embarrassed eyes if he didn't know he was already coming.

“Are you here for the autograph? ”

“Yes, I'm here to get my license plate. This is it, right?”

“Yes. But, uh, I'm going to be out by 11: 00. ”

“Line up. It's mine one. ”

The staff said they would smile and remember their faces as if they were great. Good staff - I was moved indefinitely. The image of the photovoltaic door improved rapidly. After a short wait, a new row formed behind him. 2nd place became 3rd, 3rd place became 4th. 5th place was promoted to 2nd. The defender of 1st place was remarkable. Time went by, and the employee handed the sticker to him first.

“Number one. ”

This was proof that he was number one. I embraced it with both hands. I opened and pasted the book right there. I made fun of my hands because I was worried it would make me crooked. Thankfully, you're in good hands. All you need is a signature of coincidence here. This is the perfect book.

“Whew.”

It's been a while. Now that I have the number, I have to come back from lunch. I even researched restaurants near the right street in advance. The second one talked to me about moving without being stubborn. Originally, it was the 2nd place that was 5th place. While waiting, I found out that number two was working in the same cafe.

“Are you going to lunch? ”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to come with me? Our members decided to eat. ”

“I have a restaurant I've seen before. ”

“We were thinking about it, so I don't think we should go there. Right?"

I nodded because I had no reason to make 2nd place recommendation. Now I think I can clean it with a smile if a bird poops on his head. I have a new book of coincidences.

“Eat up and read. ”

2nd place said with a trembling voice. Other members were the same. One mind, calling each other by nickname, everyone is excited. You can be this happy just because you have Alexandria in your arms. I wanted to read it quickly. Will reading Alexandria change my perspective on coincidence? I wonder.

Alexandria, Capture (4) End
