Chapter 93 – Chapter 93 – #Bridge Comma, Time to Prepare
Besides that, there was something else I wanted to do.
“Whoa, no matter what I do, the story will proceed as I write it…”
It was the result of two months of experimentation.
If the scale was large, it would have been possible to use points.
2 points if it’s a standard work or a good one.
If it was more than that, it seemed like I could get 1 additional point at each stage.
“To do so…”
First of all, I needed to broaden my narrow worldview.
Because they weren’t taught this in school.
“I should have read some fantasy or science fiction.”
I threw the cigarette butts into the tin can and started making plans for the rest of the cooldown.
§
Blind rate.
“…”
The sound of tapping on the keyboard in the company could be heard breaking through the silence, but her nerves kept falling on Nam Si-woo, who was sitting next to her.
10 days. My memory of the 10 days was very hazy.
All I remember are fragmentary images and memories.
It is clear that he received intern training, but it was unclear exactly what kind of training he received.
It felt like a thin mist that was about to dissipate, but I couldn’t get it out.
However, the hazy memory didn’t seem to be such a bad color.
“Why, what do you need?”
Nam Si-woo looked at her as if he could feel her glance.
“No, the tentative editing is over.”
“Can you send it by e-mail?”
“Yes.”
I did react naturally. Still, I wondered what those hazy memories were.
However, the vague emotions that make her mind wander made Maeng So-yul fall into an illusion of thought.
‘Do I really like seniors…’
There was a crush. For a long time. But back then, she didn’t keep stealing his gaze like she does now.
“Let’s get off work soon.”
He worked overtime every day, but for some reason he woke up first.
“Why do you keep working overtime?”
“Because all the backlogs are over~. I have a place to stop by today.”
“Oh~. Where are you going?”
At Woo Da-yeong’s question, Nam Si-woo smiled brightly.
“I’m going to the bookstore after a long time. Find something to read.”
“Eh? You?”
“What is the expression? Let’s manage the expression.”
I can’t clearly distinguish the way they play with each other, but I felt a tingling feeling on one side.
I couldn’t explain it accurately and specifically, but I was feeling a little jealous.
“Aren’t you going to work?”
His head went blank at the question as he slung his bag over his shoulder.
“…I will go.”
I want to be friendly like Woo Da-young showed me, but it wasn’t easy to do that because of the personality I’ve created so far.
“…Senpai, can I go with you too?”
“Huh? A bookstore?”
“Yes.”
“Is there anything you want to buy? Draw it, let’s go.”
I was relieved to see him give a cool answer.
The Chungcheong-do dialect that comes out sometimes is cute, so I laughed inside and followed him.
“Ugh, it’s cold.”
It wasn’t even 6 o’clock when I came out, but it was getting dark and the street lights were on.
“Soyul-ah, wait a minute.”
“…?”
I wanted something, so I stopped still, and his hand came over and touched my hoodie.
“Because the hoodie is inside out.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Old.”
Perhaps he did it lightly, but it could mean a lot to the recipient.
I arrived at the bookstore like that, but there was nothing to choose from.
It’s because it wasn’t the way I came for that in the first place.
“What book are you going to buy, senior?”
I asked him walking through the novel.
“Ah~, it’s nothing special. I thought I’d expand the world view a bit. For example, a virus or a monster suddenly appears.”
“…”
It was a bit difficult to understand the expression that it is not reading a book, but expanding the world view.
Even so, it was quite fun to stand in the back and watch him seriously choose a book.
“What kind of book is Soyul going to buy?”
“Me? Ah… That’s…”
Confused, I picked up one of the disorderly books on the stall.
“…”
“…”
He picked up the book and did not know what it was.
“…Do you want to learn to cook?”
“Yes.”
I flinched at the cookbook that said 100 Housewives.
“I’ll buy it for you, give it to me.”
“Yes? Oh, no.”
“You’re trying to do it for your younger siblings. As a senior, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do something like this. Give it to me.”
“Ah…”
He counted while holding the books he had snatched by force and even the books he wanted to read in his arms.
Nam Si-woo’s eyes widened when he saw the amount printed on his cell phone.
“Cookbooks are expensive…”
“I’m sorry… I’ll give you the money.”
“Ah, no, that’s okay. Do something for me after you do it for your younger siblings later. In exchange for the book money.”
Contrary to what I had been embarrassed about answering all day, I answered confidently this time.
“Yes!”
After leaving the bookstore and standing at the bus stop, the two folded their collars in the cold wind.
“Oh, there it is. Come in.”
“Thank you.”
“Good-bye~.”
Shaking his hand with a playful look, he crossed the crosswalk.
I got on the bus and kept staring at him until he was out of sight.
“He…”
Holding the cookbook her senior bought her as more precious than anything else in the world, she shyly smiled and got on the bus to go home.
§
I suddenly heard that they were going to the bookstore together, so I thought it was because it was a coincidence, but I moved on.
What I needed now was to find a more useful scenario than anything else.
“Directing is also directing… First of all, the scenario should be fun.”
Also, if the scale was too big, it was hard for me to remember all of them.
What are some simple yet fun scenarios?
“Sup, or maybe I should have looked for some vulgar words.”
I guess what I wanted to do was the adult side.
“But I’ll read the book later.”
After a quick wash, I sat down on the sofa and opened a book.
§
Blind rate.
Weekend.
With the precious salary I received for the first time, I went shopping for the first time in a long time.
“Choose what you want to eat.”
At her sister’s words, the twins were excited and picked up the snacks with their small hands.
He was the only one who could take care of his younger siblings, so he had to cheer himself up.
“If you’ve chosen everything, let’s go.”
I went up to the house with a dirty shopping cart.
“Haa… It’s hard…”
It was difficult to climb the steep stairs every day.
In the middle of the night, they looked so similar that sometimes the houses got confused.
After opening the iron gate and entering through the cement front yard about 1 pyeong in size, there was lunch prepared by an old woman who had visited the hall.
“Guys. Wash your hands before you eat!”
They forcibly took cookies from the hands of children who wanted to eat them and made them wash their hands.
“Hhh, sister~, I want to eat.”
“Wash up. I’m going to elementary school next year, and my friends will make fun of me if I do this.”
“Really? Yes, you too. Hurry up.”
Twins of different sexes, but doing the same thing.
It was always the influence of the two of them.
Still, when I saw the kids washing their clothes, I naturally smiled.
She sometimes thought that if she got married, she would have a cute baby like her younger siblings, but she would give up, repeating, “It’s Sachi,” As always.
“…”
I didn’t know why Nam Si-woo’s face came to my mind when I was thinking gloomy thoughts.
I shook my head and opened the cookies for the kids to eat.
“Stay here.”
In the narrow space of the living room and kitchen, I opened the book my senior bought me the other day.
“Because I have to cook instead of paying for books…”
She made excuses for herself and practiced cooking for her senior.
§
“Okay.”
Even on weekends, she didn’t go out and lay down or sometimes sit down and barely finished reading.
I read it so fast that I didn’t have much memory left in my head, but I was able to catch a feeling.
“Hmm… The story of the end of the world is honestly Eva.”
No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t have the confidence to create a scenario within Apocalypse.
I have to write those things in detail, but I didn’t think my hands would be left.
“…”
If I briefly explained what I felt after reading the book to someone, I would rather see love and war, and I felt a slight regret.
Chow
I put the book aside and opened the notebook I had bought for doodling.
Inside, countless scenarios were scrawled.
Shuck, shuck.
I turned the bookshelves and looked at useful scenarios, but shook my head at the answer that didn’t come out.
I didn’t want to write a screenplay just for sex, and even if I wrote it that way, it was hard to come up with anything more than average.
My concern was found in an unexpected place after a few days.
§
A few days later.
During lunchtime, a customer came to the company.
“Huh~, hello~.”
Dahee Woo came into the office and waved at us.
Maeng So-yul was unfamiliar with him, as he always was, but Won Yu-chan was now able to talk casually.
“Hello, brother-in-law.”
Dayoung Woo politely greeted me.
Husband Choi Hyuk, who came with Woo Da-hee, must have been exercising every day, but his clothes were still dull because of his bronzed skin and muscles.
Even wearing a hoodie couldn’t hide her stocky physique.
“…”
I felt chills running down my spine thinking that if I found out what I did to Dahee Woo, I would be squeezed in those muscles.
“You haven’t eaten lunch yet~? Have some of this~.”
I don’t know if it’s because it’s a lunchbox for idol tributes or distributed to filming sites, but it was a decent lunchbox.
“The lunch box is very fancy.”
Woo Da-hee covered her mouth and laughed at Won Yoo-chan’s words.
“Hehe~, of course~. My husband and I made it together~. Siwoo is also accepted~.”
He quietly accepted two and handed one to Maeng Soyul.
Seated at a table in the middle of the company, they started talking about their plans for a trip this weekend.
“Me and my husband are going to leave a little early, is that okay?”
“Huh? Why? We decided to go by car.”
Woo Da-young sticks her tongue out at her sister’s words.
“Ah~, oppa is going on vacation after a long time, so I’d like to go on a date with you two.”
“We don’t have a car…”
“We’ll pick you up when we arrive~. How is it?”
I listened intently to their conversation.
I forgot that I was going on a trip just because I was thinking of a new scenario.
I felt sorry for having tasted Woo Da-yeong, so I thought of letting them go this time, so I didn’t care about the trip even more.
In the meantime, my gaze turned to Choi Hyuk, who was next to Woo Da-hee.
“Hmm…”
The thought that had just occurred to me was so rubbish that it gave me goosebumps.
