Great Novelist

He recorded his failure and recalled the day his hands were sore. I had to do something to not repeat it again. Even to reassure myself.

He immediately called the editor.

“I have something to tell you, but are you free right now? ”

“· · · · · · What's the bad news? ”

“Well, in some cases, it's not that serious. I have a favor to ask you. ”

“What kind of favor? ”

I told him calmly.

“I honestly don't understand this situation. I don't think my book is that interesting. It doesn't look like much. I'm still a student, but I feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable focusing on too many people. ”

Well, I heard a little groaning.

“I agree that an persecution score for your book will be uncomfortable for a second time. When I was a kid, the most notorious people in my life were mostly unhappy. Half the autobiography failed. ”

I was stabbed by what he said, but I was not teased.

“So, I don't want to be interviewed in the future if possible. I don't want to show my face. I want a quiet school life. ”

I got to the point without dragging it too long. Long silence passed over the phone. He already knew how powerful a means of public relations he was. But I didn't want to live that tired life again. There is no novelist who hides his face at all. It was quite possible. The publisher will need a separate story, but first.

He waited quietly. Again, with the sound of worry, he opened his mouth.

“I'm an editor. I have to sell books. ”

“Yes.”

“And since I'm an editor, I should consider his position. Okay, I don't think this is a problem for me because I'm an adult. ”

“Thank you."

“You don't have a profile picture on the cover of a writer, and you have a pseudonym, so you'll be fine. ”

“Yes.”

“Besides, I've never been to an event officially. If you try to hide it, it won't be impossible. Conversely, it wouldn't be bad to take a mystical strategy. There's an excuse for being a student, by the way. ”

Since midway through, Nam-Kyung muttered to himself, separated from the answer. Then he said in a joke.

“You don't look so bad yourself, so the marketing and PR teams would have been very keen on using it for their promotional videos. Well, it's selling well enough without promotion, so it shouldn't be a big deal. I haven't been home in days thanks to you. ”

“Are you that busy? ”

He sighs, saying there's no commotion.

“There's a lot of extra orders coming in from the bookstore. The press is calling. Oh, well, then we won't have an autograph. I spoke to him at the meeting. ”

“I don't even have an autograph. ”

“Now that you're a big deal, make an autograph. ”

He hangs up with the announcement that he will call if there is any news. The reason I didn't have a profile photo was simply because I didn't like the picture to be published in the book. When I hesitated to take a new picture, I only wrote an introduction because there are many writers who do not post these days. I didn't think it would help this much. No one knows the consequences of choice.

He was thinking useless thoughts, but Seongwang urged him in front of him.

“Hey, are you listening to me? What a great book. ”

“Now that you know how great that book is, stop it. ”

“If you really want to read, I'm willing to lend you my book. ”

“No thanks.”

I was having a panic attack with the kids who were in awkward atmosphere at the beginning of the semester and began to open their mouths one by one. There was a person who spoke briefly and then spoke to two people in a comfortable atmosphere. It is easy to interrupt because there is a talk about books.

“I know that. ”

“Oh, did you read it? ”

Seogwang immediately responded as happy as the book story.

“It's the first stubborn book in my life. ”

When the boy spoke, those around him who were listening to him pretended not to.

“He was arguing a lot about what you did while he was writing his book. ”

“I was leveling up. Cool off your friend. That's what you do, too. ”

“Oh, me too. ”

“You're raising something. ”

I'm counting on something else soon. He breathed comfortably in an atmosphere that was not focused on him. Why didn't I know something so good?

Seongwang said that he was disappointed that the conversation from the book to the game was not going to work.

“Time to read a book. ”

“You sound just like my mother. ”

“Bookworm. You must be good at studying. ”

“No. I've lived by different grades and readings. ”

Seogwang naturally started talking with the children. There seems to be no stranger at all. He said, beating him still.

“Look, all those kids who weren't interested in books were carrying bird tracks. The power of this book is great. ”

He wants himself to read this book. It is probably because there are rare students who are not objectionable to books. It has become difficult to find a comrade who loves books in this age of declining readers.

I looked at the landscape as indicated by Seogwang. A bird in the white background. The book on the cover of the unparalleled cover was in many hands, regardless of the male and female students. Unusual. Students voluntarily read books. It's not even sexy.

A boy who was talking about the game said.

“I admit it's interesting. I tried to pretend to read it because I didn't want to get hit by my mom, but when I woke up, I read it all. ”

“But a writer in our company is a fraud. You must have made a lot of money. I envy you.”

You don't have to be so jealous because you blew it. He mutters to himself, lifting up the book he left behind.

“Very popular. ”

“I have no choice but to publish books like this. ”

He does not succumb to the pressure of something in the west, but just scans the cover. Full length

It was a novel, but not that thick. On the back, the judges' words were written along with the story of the content.

'I thought I should pick this book the first time I saw it.'

'I was captivated by his unique senses. Reading his book was a marvelous soul adventure that would never happen again.'

"Once again, I was surprised at my high school age because I couldn't believe that I was a new person. '

They are all words of shame. Two years later, this assessment strangled him.

“But I'm really curious. Who are the high school students who wrote this? I wish it was a girl."

“Surely a child who writes like this would have a pretty face. You have a good heart.”

Girls. I could hardly bear the laughter of their words. This situation was fresh. Then, Seogwang lifts his hands and stops the conversation between the two of them.

“Well, that would be nice, but it's early. I also felt masculine in the middle of the content. ”

“Well, he was a first-person male lead. ”

I shook my head moderately and responded to their reasoning. It's a bit of a commotion. Different atmosphere than before was satisfactory.

He recalled his academic days. It was spectacular. The same class and other classmates came to talk. I also got the attention of the teachers.

I called him to the principal's office and was encouraged by the principal for some reason, and within a few days, he had a large banner on his front door. I liked that crazy day. But it was only a matter of time before their attitudes changed. It was all his fault that he was in such a hurry.

“Here comes the teacher! ”

Someone shouts, chattering without even knowing it's a bell. Everyone put a new textbook on the desk. Everyone seemed nervous because they had never seen the teacher before. A moment ago, the uproar disappeared like a lie and the silence settled.

The teacher appears at the front door, and everyone is focused on him. He looks like he's in his mid-30s.

“Ha.”

And he sighed. Sigh? I sigh as if I'm already tired of this first face. He was a little confused. Has he ever had a teacher like that before?

I recalled it, but not much came to mind during the last 30 years or so of academic studies. The teacher grabbed a chair and set it in front of the table.

“I am going to teach you literature in the future. Everyone calls me Mr. Moon. ”

The children did not answer. Teacher Moon said as if he was familiar.

“It's your first day. I'm going to be a literature teacher, and I'm going to be reading this. You guys do what you want to do without getting in the way. ”

He sits in front of the table and picks up the book. It was a famous deduction novel that he had also read. The children were embarrassed by the sudden neglect, but were pleased to hear that they were not taking classes.

I saw Mr. Moon. Wrinkles appear between his glances. I'm completely focused on the book in that short amount of time. The face of turning over the bookshelf was serious. He just sat there and read without being moved.

He closed his eyes and took out the problem book. It was a problem book that I lived in to commemorate becoming a student again. It has already been a few days, but progress is slow compared to the days I have. He smiles powerlessly. When I came back, I still didn't want to study.

“Can I go to the bathroom? ”

A student carefully asked. When you meet a place called a school, the toilet is transformed into a word that causes conflict between teachers and students.

If there are teachers in class who happily send them to the toilet, there are teachers who do not. Among them, the strict teachers even looked and were angry or had a very unpleasant face. The student with the toilet mouth looked at Moon's reaction with a worried face that he might have a few.

“Huh."

Such a student's nervous response came back. The students who were noticing followed in a row to the bathroom. At that time, Moon repeated the answers that were growing without making eye contact in the book.

I thought it was too harsh to sigh when I saw the student.

After the paper, Moon took the book without saying anything and went out.

“That teacher is a bit unusual. I'm not interested in students. ”

“It's good to be comfortable with each other. ”

Basically he was a teacher who didn't seem motivated to do his job. He's called Mr. Moon. I was curious about what class I was going to take.

After a short break, the paper struck again. This time, a female teacher appeared to be resting. Subject is English. She wrote her name on the chalkboard. Like an English teacher, it's alphabetical.

I read the letters on the blackboard. It was Mr. Kang Myeong.

“You're lucky to have met me. ”

I start saying that without introducing myself. The classroom was quiet, but the students could feel each other's confusion. Who the hell is that teacher?

“I have five friends in my class who have studied English at the scale. I taught them all. ”

He desperately endured a sigh to appear like Moon Teacher. The two letters "university" that came out of the teacher's mouth really felt like he had become a student.

“You have to be good at English. Why? Because if you don't speak English, you can't go to college. Your goal is the university. You have to speak English to achieve your goals. English is mandatory, unless your parents are rich. This society is meritocracy. The rebuttal against me only allows people who speak English better than I do. ”

No one comes out of a classroom full of silence. I felt bitter in the reality that I should be listening to such stories. I turned my gaze out the window. You see a playground with no one there and a barricaded gate.

I want to go out and have a drink.

“You may not understand what I'm saying when I'm young. You want to say that college isn't all life. There are other paths. Gentlemen, that's a child's strike. Consider the words of the person who lived first. So you can live a life without regret. I won't take any complaints. Thanks to me, I'm going to improve my English and graduate from a good university, and then I'll just say thank you. ”

A life without regrets. It is time for English class, but I do not teach English and make quite a big sound. I looked around and saw their faces stiffened. Even the frightened children stood out. It was a time when college or society felt like monsters. I'm sorry.

“I will focus on preparing for my studies. When I say so, stand up and answer me again. If you don't answer, or if you behave immaturely, you will lose your attitude score. ”

Immature. This means that the fruit or food is not ripe yet. If you say you're young and act young, you'll lose points. I met a tired teacher.

This time, I couldn't stop the sigh.
