Great Novelist

Two Person Battle (4)

In the appearance of the King, everyone stopped moving. The awards ceremony was grand and elegant as if it had regained its original strength. Everyone is looking at the same place. The coin folds its arms in silence.

“That's a new feeling. ”

He speaks calmly. He says what happened when he stood there in the past. He also spoke lightly about the value of the prize. Kings talks face to face, but he doesn't make eye contact with anyone there.

“This year is getting a lot of attention, especially. ”

Kings introduced books to be the candidates for this feature novel. Coins and coincidences were one of them.

“Where's the inspiration? ”

He replied with a small murmur.

“You're looking at the people standing at the door. ”

“The bathroom's in a hurry. ”

Looking at King's attitude, Yonker sounds like that. He took a quick look around. Fortunately, everyone was focusing on King's speech.

“They're all interesting and outstanding novels. So we're curious about the results. Right?"

Someone takes a deep breath. The person in front takes out the phone. The result is coming soon. He waves the envelope in the air with his hand.

“Whose name is written here? ”

You hear groaning and cheering. He did not exaggerate, nor spoke longer than necessary. He sees the group clapping their hands. This face is desperate. My mind starts to wander.

“I'll announce.”

You loosen the ribbon. He opens the envelope with a quick flick. Pull out a card. The King bows his head for the first time. The user empowers the hand of a coin that appears to be at the edge of its vision.

“The master of glory. ”

The heat I feel directly raises questions. In a moment, King's eyes met.

“Coincidence.”

Tap your shoulders. Push your back. I asked for a handshake. I'm being pushed forward. The waves seemed to be raging.

“Congratulations."

It was on a single-phase phase. The light was bright and hot. A trophy appeared when I closed my eyes. The transparent body shines beautifully under the light. It was unfamiliar. It looks completely different from what I was told. He swallowed dry saliva.

“That's amazing. ”

The King tapped his shoulder.

“Thank you."

A much calmer voice came out. Outside the stage, there was still shouting and applause. Kings whispers a step closer.

“Feels good, right? ”

He replied honestly.

“Not bad. ”

“Isn't it beautiful? ”

“Yes.”

“It's great to be up here at such a young age. ”

Kings meets the eye.

“Look."

He points his finger at the dark spots. The people outside the lights were much lower. I couldn't see very well. This was a completely different place. Heart beats fast.

“Congratulations on your victory. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

He glanced at me quietly. Maybe he came here to see the unseen. What's in there? The eye adapts to the darkness. I hear something. Everything I encountered was familiar. Cover your mouth. I raised my hands high. He's crying. He's still got his arms wrapped around him. I couldn't help laughing.

“I'm not fooled anymore. ”

The King nods.

“That's a good look. ”

He stepped forward. After a brief response, I came back down to the stage. I was very happy.

“Calm down.”

“What a coincidence! I really am. ”

Dongbaek plays a big song. I see a passerby panting. I wanted you to stop crying sincerely. The rose that was covering its mouth and the butterfly that was holding both hands were still excited.

“Coincidental writer! Coincidental writer!”

Someone called out to him. Wide open doors, tranquil grounds, empty table chairs, and noisy hallways. The winners gathered together and held the prize and took several photos. Each of you is holding an award and having an interview or a conversation with the group to unravel the awards ceremony.

“I'd like to interview you. ”

He nodded behind the president of Dongbaek Publishing Company who drinks his nose.

“Listen to the trophy. ”

The camera followed and asked me. He picks up the trophy he left on one side.

“Congratulations on your award. ”

He briefly explained the situation to the camera and asked.

“What was it like on the first runway you went up? ”

“I remember my eyes being wide awake. ”

“Aren't you nervous? ”

“My heart was beating fast. ”

There was a deep appreciation in his eyes.

“What would you like to say to the people who elected you? ”

“What do you want to say? ”

“Yes, for example. ”

He puts the words of another writer in his mouth. It feels good to be recognized. It's always good to be rewarded.

“I am always grateful to those who read my work. ”

“When called upon, it was said that the reaction to the field was hot, but how was the cheer and applause from many colleagues? ”

“Too much. I thought I'd let the lights out a little bit more. I wanted to take a closer look. ”

“Did you talk to Kelly Coin writer after winning the award? ”

His eyes twinkle with pressure.

“Yes.”

“What did you exchange? ”

“Congratulations. They complained that the gossip about the trophy and the awards ceremony were also not in order. ”

He notices he wants something more, but he shuts up.

“Then, the next great prize, also known as the Ennula Award and Brotherhood, awaits. Are you confident you can win coins there too? ”

He smiled and asked.

“You haven't heard of my award? ”

“Yes?”

“I said I don't think I won the coin. ”

He paused and said in a voice that he knew the truth.

“I was talking about the part that won the prize for skipping the coin. You've won coins. You wanted a prize, right? So you were at the awards ceremony, right? ”

He rolls his trophy with his hands. The King's question comes to mind. If I win an award, I can avoid the despair I felt while reading. I've confirmed it. You can't turn this stuff into something that never happened. You make a playful smile.

“I'm not going out. ”

Silence passes. He blinks rapidly and asks.

“You're not going to the Hugo Award? ”

“Yes.”

“Do you mean to appoint a proxy winner? ”

“I reject the candidate. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The staff holding the camera, the staff clearing the rope, and the staff passing by were frozen and looked at Australia. He scratched his cheek.

“Why? ”

He opened his heart and said.

“The parties have already seen the battle. ”

“I'm not going out there. ”

David pauses to step out of the door and looks back. My mouth opened by itself. Coincidence does not win this Great Prize.

“Don't you know your place? ”

It was a situation where you could aim for a double crown. There is no writer as powerful as coincidence, which makes up a popular proportion. It is almost certain that he will win the prize. But you're not leaving?

“He's a funny guy. ”

David thought about it before. There are other writers who are as funny as coincidences. In this space full of power and victory, determination and jealousy, he was very heterogeneous. Alone, I'm flattered that my goal is somewhere else. Coincidence is seeing something else. He rubs his neck. David loved that character.

“Hey, are you listening? ”

The phone trembling in his fist said. David replies.

“Coincidence doesn't go to the big prize. ”

“What?"

I have a serious voice beyond surprises. David knew full well why.

“Did the horse leak out? ”

“I don't think so. ”

“But, if not, how can you reject a candidate at such a good time? ”

David is a journalist, chasing scandals. Hugo awards are voted by members of certain fans to determine the winner. The head of the association there was a person of considerable value. I have caused many problems in the past. This year I finally saw a chance to do something.

“Voting manipulation. ”

David puts his hand in his pocket. A fan is a narrow tissue. With multiple votes, it is possible to estimate the number of votes of the author you prefer and the author you dislike. The chairman of the association could eliminate the difference in a variety of ways. There are several preferred criteria. Race, gender, national origin, appearance, background, etc. The World Literature Award, a festival for readers, is full of joy and excitement. But then there was darkness.

“This doesn't make it sound like the winner of the prize is the winner. ”

He slowly looked around at the gorgeous hotel surrounded by gold.

“Still, the prize is the best. The amount will change.If you're a candidate, your price will go up. ”

There's a rebuttal coming right from beyond.

“You wouldn't happen to know that. ”

David sees coincidence. I see a young face. This is the youngest face in the room.

“It must be because you're young. You're still young, so you don't get dirty. ”

“I must have heard it somewhere. You saw him talking to Kings. Could he have slipped away? ”

“Kings is possible. ”

Incidentally, he greeted me clearly. Finish the interview and return to the group. One is crying and one is terrified. Coincidentally, he was at peace alone. Is he really that young? David grunts lightly.

“It can't be a coincidence. ”

“Yes?”

“It's just a coincidence. ”

It's a coincidence. David leaves the door without a clue.

Not as honorable as this year. Silently consistent fans in voting manipulation scandals.

The meaning of a blurry vote. A festival for readers. A festival that I'm not comfortable with.

We didn't want this outcome. Complaints by members for a reason.

Deliberately excluded potential candidates. I'm so sorry, in person.

Writers who refused to be nominated. Members abstaining from voting. This is the true meaning of literature.

Reason for rejecting the candidate by chance. The back of power is too dark for a young writer.

Accidental rejection of candidates. Pursue the true value of the work

Why did he refuse to be a candidate for the consolation prize? A question that lasted for a while, the truth finally came out.

A courageous choice of writers by chance. Netizens continue to cheer.

A double crown that gave up on itself. A message about his reality.

Literature Prize Winners, Sales Volume Boost! The first author to be introduced to Korea, the Hugo award winner.

It was a really good choice. I regretted hearing at first that I had rejected the consolation prize candidate by accident.

There is a reason why there is a coincidence.

But he rejected the candidate because he really thought it would be like this. The writers knew about it then?

You know, Kelly Coin is the best writer by chance. He's a literary sweeper. I am likely to have heard something.

b. Rejection is the freedom of the author.

I finally understand. Boycott with a reason.

b. In fact, the possibility of getting a double crown is abundant this time. Needless to say, the traitor is a remarkable piece of work, not to mention that he won the cannula award for defeating the coin. But that god's language series is pushed out of popularity? Add it up, not less.

It can't be a coincidence.

It's a waste of time. That's great.

Besides, it's a foreign award. I don't think rejection was an easy choice.

b. Incidental choices are also being complimented in overseas media.

Maybe the best way to cheer for coincidence is to buy his book.
