Great Novelist

He licked his lips in thirst. Can I read it?

“I'd like to read it. ”

I can't lose my hand. I want to read the following sentence I want to read a story from this speaker. A new article by Kang, as if he came back to life. I think I'm meeting a dead man. My heart was beating fast. You hear a rattling sound behind you as you take your hand to the paper some time later. I turned back in surprise. A book was dropped.

“It was less plugged in. ”

I grabbed the prowling chest and returned the book to its original state. I feel guilty. He looks at the light and darkness through the open door for a moment, then calmly steps back. I put down the white book. I don't think I can enjoy reading in this mood. It's a shame. I couldn't sleep until late that day.

“What book are you reading? ”

The next night, I left early. He showed the cover to Hyundai, who was asking him to sit in the living room.

“It's hot.”

A book of the River Crescent. His gaze stayed a little longer.

“He must have gone inside. ”

“Yes. Lots of interesting books. ”

He laughed a little. Hyundai asked.

“When are you going? ”

“Where?”

“Seoul.”

His work is not done yet. I just wrote a copy. He doesn't know exactly how he helped him. If he tells you to go, you're right to go. However, there was a reason that Australia was still unable to go up. He said, touching the book in his hand.

“Do you want to send? ”

“A little.”

“You're too kind.”

“There's nothing for you here. ”

“Why not? I have a lot to learn from you. ”

Hyundai was tired of looking at himself. He did not avoid the eye.

“I'm not asking you to go. It just doesn't have to be on purpose. ”

“Of course.”

Hyundai turned around and went back into the workshop. He hesitated and eventually missed out.

“How do you want me to ask? ”

It was complicated in my head. I fled as a reader. The moon is one of the main works of the river. At first, I heard it was fairly fragmented. For now, it is a work I can't help discussing the author Kang Wool. I think about his writing all the time. I want to meet him.

“I wish you'd come out in your dreams. ”

You can't meet the dead. He thought so and went up to this floor. I closed my eyes early that day.

“Hey."

The snow falls. I can't feel the cold. It didn't take me that long to realize it was a dream. Everyone was wearing thick clothes.

“Hey."

I've never seen it before, but it's familiar. Maybe it's because his imagination created it. I feel different from the fantasy I see when I write.

“I want to fly. ”

I heard you can fly in a dream.

“Hey, Hyundo! ”

He turns his head. The long hair around his neck touched his shoulder. Stand with your back to yourself. He called me Hyundai.

“Don't just read books, look at me! ”

“Pathetic.”

I see a familiar face beyond his shoulders. Dark hair scattered in the wind.

“I'm reading your piece. What are you interrupting, even if you're grateful? ”

The back of your head shakes. The solemn voice that I purposely made resounded into the air.

“What does that have to do with anything? Novels are fiction, I'm me. Be thankful for the novel. ”

Hyundai made an impression. He stared at his face.

“The teachers say you're a little close to writing this article. You're in no position to be hanging out right now. ”

“Don't make me say the same thing twice. Novel, I'm me. A novel is an insult. ”

“The owner is you. You're a terrible writer. ”

“Doesn't matter.”

He opens his hands. I saw the face of the river. It was similar to the description I saw in a novel that had no title or composition.

“I'm a pretty decent guy. ”

Hyundai was annoyed.

“What are you talking about? ”

“Life is long. I'm not gonna be a terrible writer for the rest of my life. Let's not get hung up for a second. Let's go, the address is waiting. ”

The river was smiling. I took a broad step forward and walked down the road. Hyundai sighed.

“You need to focus a little bit more on the present. ”

The steps in the city that followed him were light. He followed them openly. The two of them did not even notice their existence. When I realized it was in there somewhere. The two of them swiped their eyes over their heads and opened the door.

“Too late.”

She looks down at the two of you with a stern expression.

“Sorry, sorry. ”

She did not hide her unwelcome feelings even after apologizing to Kang Wool.

“Do you know what a promise is? ”

“I know.”

“But are you late? ”

“Don't you know the truth? ”

His fist slammed into the shoulder. The sound was quite dull. Leaving him in agony, the speaker said to Hyundai:

“Well done.”

“I had a hard time getting him. ”

Hyundai sighed and sat down. The slightly reddened tip of your nose is cold. The three of them sat around the little statue and shared a glass. He looked at them in the corner. The slippery door occasionally rattles in the wind.

“What are you looking at? ”

Hyundai tilted his drink and asked. He glances at his cup. About half of the barracks are gone.

“Huh?"

At the words of Hyundai, the eyes of the speaker turned to the river. Kang Wol was staring at one place. He shakes his hand.

“It's nothing. ”

“Are there rats in here? ”

I burst into laughter. My shoulders fluttered.

“It's bigger than that. ”

The book looked around without shaking and filled the glass. The three of them drank fast. But there was no sense of urgency. I think I usually drink this much. Suddenly, he got up from his seat and approached the place he was always looking at. There was Australia. He stepped back. My back hit the wall. I later realized I was in a bad place. I'm nervous in my dreams.

“What is it? ”

Hyundai asks, "The River Crescent has opened the door."

“Crow.”

The wind blows in. You hear the sound of the words. He sat on the road seat.

“If we do this, we'll be on our way. ”

“Are you drunk already? ”

The speaker stroked the face of the river and asked. He says it's not like that, but he doesn't avoid it. She puts on her outerwear instead of closing the door to the snowy view.

“Crow again? ”

Hyundai was annoyed. He squints and asks.

“What the hell is a crow? ”

Kang Wall emptied his glass and replied.

“It's just me. ”

“Novels are fiction, I'm me. Where's the guy I was proud of? ”

“Man is an animal with one mouth. ”

“You're too contradictory. ”

“There are things you don't want to accept. It makes no difference to me. ”

Hyundai said, rethinking his appetite.

“I'm glad the genius novelist is no different. ”

“Don't be sarcastic. ”

Kang Wall tightly shrugged the shoulders of Hyundai. Hyundai took his hand away nervously. Kangwool giggles and coughs occasionally.

“Is it a cold?”

Hyundai asked unequivocally. The rainfall was also light.

“Maybe it's the air. ”

“Why are you opening the door like that? ”

“You're pathetic if you're trapped. ”

“There's nothing there. Locked up are three cold, shivering humans. ”

The book asked with worrying eyes.

“Isn't it bad to eat? ”

“Let's eat today. ”

“Enough drinking and sleeping. ”

Kang Wol spilled his words lightly.

“Listen more than that. I found a fun story in the moon this time. ”

“The moon?”

He muttered without even knowing it.

“Yes, Master. ”

Kang Wol replied. He made an impression and looked at him. I do things that are confusing. The river began to talk. Hyundai listened to him with interesting eyes.

“The dog bit the horse and killed it. An animal called a horse is a penny or two. The owner insisted he wasn't his dog. After all, I guess you skipped the part where you get your reward. ”

“The horse master has been displeased. ”

“Instead, I got to deal with the dog. ”

“What did you do? ”

“Executed.”

Kill the dog and the case is closed. He said, sweeping his chin.

“A dog kills a horse, a man kills a dog. Who do you think's the worst here? ”

“Dog Owner. ”

The speaker said without hesitation. Kang Eul smiled satisfactorily.

“Not to mention him. It's despicable and irresponsible. It's beneath the beast. ”

“I just know that words are the saddest. ”

Hyundai raised his eyebrows. Kang Wol nodded. The speaker asked him.

“And you?"

“I think horse owners are the worst. ”

“Why?”

“I committed murder with clear motive. ”

Kang said in a low voice.

“The dog owner is a bystander, by the way. Dogs and horses are animals beyond our comprehension. What about the Horse Owner? I killed my opponent for his delicacy. Isn't that enough to call you a villain? ”

The speaker tried to file a protest. Kangwool gently raised his hand and continued the unfinished story.

“But when I heard from the horse owner, he had his own reasons. ”

“Did you find it?”

“I went to see him.”

“What did you hear? ”

“That's like a child to a horse owner. Why don't you think of it this way? The horse owner unfairly lost his child. ”

I talked long about the fateful encounter of horse and horse owners. It was a beautiful story to inadvertently clap. He actually clapped his hands.

“If my child dies overnight, it's worth the snow. ”

“Killing a dog won't keep you in the castle. ”

He replies. Hyundai folds his arms.

“Killing a dog won't get you into the castle. ”

“Exactly. What happens after this? ”

The river flicked his fingers. The speaker raised her glass.

“Is that the plot of what you're writing this time? ”

“Did you notice?”

The snow of the river glowed with pure curiosity. The two friends were looking at him.

“I wonder why the dog bit the horse and killed it. There must have been a reason. He was already dead, so I couldn't hear him. ”

Hyundai snorted.

“Do you want to write about people or do you want to write about animals? ”

“Horse owners are already like beasts. If he walks on all fours, he's the same. ”

“Man walks on all fours in the morning. ”

“So we're animals, too. ”

“A human story after all. ”

“That's what novelists do. ”

He added: At that moment, the river turned its head. He flinches. He stares at one place without doing anything.

“What else have you got? ”

The book asked with funny eyes. Kangwon shakes his head.

“I left the door open, but I didn't think to leave. He's an idiot, after all. ”

He sat down, rethinking his appetite.

“Persistent. I don't know what you're looking at. ”

“It's you.”

He emptied his cup and said,

“Life is long. He won't be there forever. ”

He opened his eyes. The room was bright. It was just this afternoon. I got up quickly and went out.
