Great Novelist

“I'm still curious, what kind of experiment is this? ”

He blinked. I remember telling him everything. Then I remember exactly what he looked like.

“You didn't tell me then? ”

“You've been talking back. The struggle to stay alive, the crows kept making me do it. You're just saying things that you don't know in English. ”

I was tired of this wild story. He nods lightly. I worked hard then. I couldn't hide my nervousness as time approached. When people are nervous, they make mistakes.

“You're not going to tell me? ”

He frowns. He laughs at his expression. He sighs and says.

“What a coincidence. ”

“Of course. ”

“The boy's a genius, middle-aged genius. ”

I frowned playfully and asked.

“People say it's great. ”

“You hate that nickname and you're looking for it again. ”

“That's what people are for. ”

He turns his head to look out the window. You see a raven sitting on a large tree across from you, resting. The crow sits at a height that seems to be able to fly right now, but it never flies. He twitched his chin because it was inappropriate. Yeongdo said.

“It's spreading. ”

“A big tree. ”

“How heavy would it be to hang a leaf on that bench? ”

“I guess there's a lot of baggage these days. Seeing that kind of emotion. ”

“If you write such a good introduction and dry the blood so far, I will die. ”

“People don't die that easily. ”

Yeongdo scratched his temples with a smile.

“Can I read the manuscript? ”

“Very well.”

He went into the room and brought out the manuscript. Zero's gaze was focused on one place.

“It feels good to write it myself. ”

At his words, he smiled lightly. This is a manuscript. I received it carefully. It was not difficult to read the clean letters. However, we could see that the list was gradually fragmented toward the end. I didn't really get over Yeongdo.

“This post reminds me of the great Gatsby. ”

He has a lot of money and enjoys parties. He is contradictory. Conflicted. Coincidentally, he coincidentally created a story by mixing the two styles. It effectively expresses the inner parts of the character. Yeongdo empowered the hand holding the manuscript. So, unfortunately, if you complete it to the end, you will definitely get a good review. When it's not finished, this good writing is just in the corner of the warehouse.

“I can't believe I'm hanging up here. ”

Yeongdo lets out a sigh and mutters in a hurry. He smiled and said.

“I like the rough part. ”

“I'll be careful.”

An honest man. He shrugs and asks him how he feels.

“What do you think?”

He glanced at the writing and looked at his eyes. He nods slightly.

“You're a superhero, and you're trying to be good at it. ”

“That's right."

He frowned to become one after quietly confirming it. He approached the refrigerator and asked.

“You want a drink? ”

“It's still daylight. There's work to be done. But you do? ”

“I have a little use for you. There's one bottle left. ”

He turned around to see if he could get some cold water out of him. I returned to my seat and continued with the conversation.

“I want to write better than any story I've ever written. That's the honesty I have right now. ”

Yeongdo asked why.

“You want to make a splendid finish. ”

His face hardened in an instant.

“Are you retiring? ”

“I'm in my prime now, and I'm not retiring. ”

“Occasionally. Those of you who say you're going to leave when you clap. ”

“I won't leave if I'm bullied. ”

“Then what is it? Finish it.”

He swiped his chin and asked.

“Has Mr. Young never done that? I feel like I'm going to die tomorrow. ”

“Yes?”

“Have you ever had a strong sense of death?" ”

“Well, I wonder what would happen if I died, but I'm still 30. ”

“You're healthy.”

“So. ”

I shook my hand at him, nervous. It's not a big story.

“I always write thinking this is the last time. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

Yeongdo nods with a look of understanding.

“I admire it. We love it when it works. ”

He didn't say a word. You don't need long words from a writer who knows where the problem is.

“I believe you. Sir, next deadline, please. ”

He shrugs.

“By the way, have you thought about it? ”

“What?”

“You can't do this. You just said you were thinking about it. Judges.”

“Oh, that. I won't.”

The year bowed its head. Although his expression was full of disappointment, there was also a mixed belief that this would happen.

“Not this time. ”

“Tell them to give up now. There are other people besides me. ”

“You're the only coincidence. ”

“We have a lot of judges. ”

He looked at him and asked.

“Rather, I'd like to ask, Why are you being so persistent? I'm not willing to do it at all. ”

“You don't know your talents. ”

“Talent?”

I smile a little. Yeongdo's expression was serious. He rushes through the bag and pulls out the manuscript.

“This was the manuscript you said you liked. It was just printed yesterday. The boss said it was good. I was impressed by what my new plaintiff, the most noteworthy teacher of the past year, said. In the previous year, he nodded with a manuscript that I hadn't read. The owner of the manuscript is now one of the best-known authors. ”

“It's because the writer wrote well. ”

“Stars are not made alone. It's useless if you don't have recognizing eyes. You have good eyes. You would have succeeded if you were an editor. ”

Yeongdo handed out the manuscript that was on the back of the stack.

“So why don't you read this, too? ”

It's blatant. He looks at him with an unfair eye. Yeongdo pushed the plaintiff forward, avoiding his gaze. Reading a newcomer's manuscript is fun. I have a lot to learn. Good irritation. But it's hard to keep thinking that way. He said, slightly conflicted.

“There's nothing to be held accountable for later. ”

“Please read it. He came in last month, and he's an active doctor. ”

He slowly handed over the manuscript. Yeongdo did not miss that moment, but followed. Distinguishing a newcomer is enough just to see the first chapter.

“Not bad. ”

Yeongdo was roughly understanding the vocabulary of coincidence. That won't do. Yeongdo suppressed the feeling of rapid improvement. It's the same idea. I pretended not to know and asked.

“I heard it's pretty good around here, but where's the harm? ”

“I didn't say it was bad. ”

“Then where should I go? ”

“Persistent.”

“I'll listen. ”

He swiped his chin and handed over the manuscript.

“This is probably the first time I've done this. This."

“Yes?”

In a surprise, Yeongdo asked. He said something without caring about him.

“Not bad. ”

“Isn't that genius? I've never seen anything like it. ”

“Well, what do you think of the editor? ”

Yeongdo opened her mouth without difficulty because she already had a sentence in mind.

“I'm definitely an amateur, but that's all you need to fix. I liked the idea he came up with. ”

“Hmm."

“I didn't know it was the first time, but that's a great sentence. ”

“That's right.”

He urged his eyes to: If he had already made up his mind, there would have been no consultation. I've already seen his happy face. Yeongdo expressions the rest with a stabbed expression.

“I'm a little bit of a liar. ”

This is a fatal flaw. Once Yeongdo has tasted it again, he has put down his manuscript.

“What to base it on is something else entirely. Popularity is visible. I want to read other articles personally. ”

“I'd appreciate it if you insisted. ”

“The decision is yours. ”

He drank a healthy tea. Yeongdo stared at the man who drank even the smell of this bitter tea without making an impression.

“Could you write me a letter of recommendation? ”

“I have a lot to ask of you today. ”

“I don't know what to do with the increase in deadlines. ”

“I didn't know this was the place to negotiate. ”

“You're kidding, too. ”

Accidental testimony is expensive. The sentence with the word "recommendation" just doubles sales. In other words, there are many people who want to do it.

“Whose manuscript is this? ”

Fortunately, he is not a completely repulsive writer like the infamous Imhyun. However, there was no turning back the plaintiff's position. Even though I know him, even if the editor asks me, even if the executive puts pressure on him, it doesn't work at all.

“The most remarkable new person of the last year. I'm publishing my second novel this year. Here's the manuscript. ”

He listens again to the manuscript he gave. I spent a similar amount of time searching the manuscript again. The answer was easy.

“I don't want to.”

“· · · · · · · Why? ”

Yeongdo complained, complaining that it was really difficult to write. He rolls his eyes at him.

“Who is your editor? ”

“You're older than me. Why? ”

“Young Do asked me not to stick to him even when the day of his transfer comes. ”

“Don't leave · · · · · · · · No, is it that bad? ”

“Not bad. ”

Again. Yeongdo nods, not asking any more questions with a bored face. He is not your writer, and he has struggled for months at your request. This manuscript is not a priority.

“Let's go back to your manuscript. about the latter part. ”

Yeongdo slowly heard what he was thinking. Just listen to the story and there will be no problem. It must be a coincidence that if you come out of it, your masterpiece will be completed. Yeongdo suddenly looked at the confused writer, but he didn't seem uncomfortable. A peaceful face. Thought about it for a moment, but nodded.

“See you next time, then. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. ”

He left and the house was still. I got up from my seat and went into the workshop. There were numerous manuscripts on the floor. I stepped on them and lay down on the bed inside. The high stack of manuscripts prevents the sun from coming in to cover the window. You close your eyes slowly. After about an hour of sleep, he mutters.

“I can't believe it. ”

I yawned a lot.
