The Novelist Who Leapt Through Time Episode 191

“Clothes are for wearing, but fashion is for showing off. Therefore, fashion trends were as fast as people’s vanity. Every time the season changes, every time a designer has an accident at a fashion show, or every time a superstar appears in a drama wearing a new outfit, trends change.

Therefore, the homepage of the online shopping mall was constantly changing, and of course, all of the homepage designs had to be pretty and sophisticated, and Minha, the web designer, also had to worry about it all year long.

Working with picky fashion designers as my boss, submitting dozens of drafts to meet their complex requirements and repeatedly getting rejected, only to be told that the first draft was the best was the perfect thing to drive a person crazy.

So, Minha was sitting on the rack in the corner of the bathroom, looking at the baby (with a crushed face) staring at her, and wondering if she could be treated as an industrial accident even if she went crazy from the stress of work.

Hururup.

Drink away those useless and hopeless worries with mixed coffee.

When I came out of the bathroom and returned to my place, the baby was sitting on the side of the desk as if it was a natural thing.

Is this the predicament of bringing a baby to work? I couldn’t bear to do anything due to the staring gaze.

And it seems the same goes for the team leader sitting next to me.

“Why are you looking at me like that? “What did you ask?”

Suddenly, I was startled because I thought the baby was talking to me. However, the voice belonged to Team Leader Jeong Hee-ju, who was behind the baby.

Minha tried to stick her head out to the side to avoid the baby blocking her view, but she was worried that doing so would make her look like a really strange person.

So, I looked straight at the baby whose face was crushed and spoke to the team leader who was standing there.

To maintain my usual friendly persona, I smiled softly.

“No. nothing.””

EP 11 – All kinds of things

You may wonder if there is any celebrity who is not vulnerable to companies, but among them, ‘idols’ are particularly dependent beings.

Concept, members, music, choreography, etc.

This is because it is made by the company from start to finish.

Therefore, idols were not artists who created beauty, but were closer to employees who followed the company’s instructions and did their work.

At least Min Hyo-chan’s thoughts were firm. Therefore, Min Hyo-chan also maintained an appropriate depth of guilt.

When it comes to having an ambitious album released, it doesn’t mean that he feels frustrated as an artist whose art has been ruined, but rather that he has the mindset of an office worker who finds himself in trouble when things happen to go wrong.

“Ehyo, fuck you… … .”

In reality, there was nothing Min Hyo-chan could do. It was Baekhak Entertainment’s job to overcome the crisis facing the boy group ‘Rapid Boys’, not Min Hyo-chan’s job.

Rather, if you come up with an idea to try this or that, it is obvious that you will only hear ‘Don’t install it, just stay still-‘.

So, Min Hyo-chan kept his facial expression moderately so that he wouldn’t hear people say, ‘Aren’t you worried about the group’s future?’

And I just continued lessons and training as the company told me to do.

I could confidently say that I behaved like a perfect ‘office worker’.

The book report task suddenly thrown at Min Hyo-chan was too ‘artist’-like.

“Useup… … .”

This is an extremely difficult task for Min Hyo-chan, who has never done art since his debut.

However, for Min Hyo-chan, who began avoiding the students of the Department of Practical Dance after finishing the album, the Popular Culture and Arts Research Club held a fairly large stake in human relationships.

So Min Hyo-chan brought this damn book report homework to the company.

And as a result, he was caught in the eyes of Rapid Boys leader Lee Soo.

“Hyochan, this bastard, this… … Are you sure you’re reading a book?”

Min Hyo-chan is only the youngest member of Gao Magazine, Rapid Boys, with his hands in his pockets at school.

If Min Hyo-min is Benibis’ cutie maknae, Min Hyo-min Hyo-min, even if reversed, Min Hyo-chan is Rapid Boys’ cutie maknae Min Hyo-min Hyo-chan.

As soon as the strange behavior of ‘reading’ was discovered, Min Hyo-chan, as the youngest, monopolized all the attention and love of his older brothers.

“Isn’t Hyochan trying to beat up idols and pass the CSAT?”

“Oh my, Hyochan. You can’t study now. Just give up… … .”

“Min Hyo-chan… Reading… … ?!”

“Is he sick of something? Why are you reading a book all of a sudden? … .”

The young people who cared for dignity and charm in front of the camera flocked to Min Hyo-chan and unleashed their playful side.

Min Hyo-chan, who was completely devastated by his brothers’ trivial ‘prank’, screamed.

“Ah, kinda-!”

After Min Hyo-chan’s death, the members left in a fuss. It wasn’t because I was really afraid of Min Hyo-chan, but because I knew that ‘toys’ should be used sparingly to last a long time.

Leader Lee Soo, who was giggling while watching that, said.

“But you’re a rapper, right? “Are you trying to use it as a reference when writing a rap?”

“It’s not like that! And what about rappers? Where are rappers in idol groups? Everything is received from the lyricist… … .”

“Don’t be so hard on yourself, man. So what kind of novel is it?”

“Oh, I didn’t buy this, it was at school… … .”

Min Hyo-chan received a book report assignment from a school club, and the scattered members gathered again when they heard that the subject was none other than a new work by a ‘literary person.’

“what? A new work by a writer?! “Why is it in your hand!”

“… … “How much money can I sell this for?”

“Wow, when Hyo-chan said this was a literary friend, I still thought it was a lie… … .”

Min Hyo-chan could not hide his surprise at his brothers’ reactions.

Min Hyo-chan also knew about the popularity of writers, but more than that, he had a gloomy image of being covered in a blanket in a club room and always scribbling something.

That’s why I don’t really get used to the reactions of the members I see every day.

“Now, wait… … !”

However, the members had already taken the note that Min Hyo-chan was holding and were treating it like a shrine.

“This is the secret of genius… … !”

“Please let me win the Hugo Award… … .”

“Why did you win the Hugo Award, you crazy idiot?”

“Then please let me win the Baeksang Arts Awards… … .”

“How can you ride that, you crazy person?”

“… … ?”

Min Hyo-chan looked with sad eyes at his brothers who were behaving like primitive people who had just witnessed modern civilization, and then he felt a flash of a bright idea passing through his mind.

“ah! “Brothers!”

“Hyochan, I’m sorry, but this is confiscation. It’s too precious for someone like you to have it… … .”

“I have to write a book report on this, and I’ll show it to you if you promise to help me.”

* * *

Everyone has a good plan.

Until you get hit.

“The image of Minha struggling with the sin of abortion that she experienced as a student is a self-portrait of a lonely modern person suffering from the moral dilemma of modern society… … .”

This was the opinion of Rapid Boys main vocalist JYS (real name Kim Chang-hoon). The response was so good that everyone was amazed and praised, saying, ‘Oh, this kid is a liberal arts major?’

But the voice coming from the club room was cold.

“This is the worst.”

A stern voice of judgment follows.

“Let alone arbitrarily concluding that abortion is a sin, you have absolutely no understanding of the value judgments in the novel, do you? The protagonist does not consider abortion to be a sin or trauma, but rather a passing pain. Rather, he appears to be embarrassed by the gap between society’s gaze and his own perception. That also shows up in the way you treat your baby. You slowly approach a stranger without fear or suffering, right? “That kind of thing is clearly written in the book, but I don’t know what kind of mentality came up with the expression ‘struggling.’”

Min Hyo-chan mustered his last strength and pleaded.

“S-stop… … Please stop… … .”

But the voice continued mercilessly.

“Book reports are weird. The front and back don’t match. Earlier, I talked about whether abortion is a sin, but here I say, ‘I felt a warm and considerate view toward women who have had abortions in the novel…’ ‘ what? It’s not something other people wrote, so what is this? I don’t think you understand now, but in the first place, ‘Manjong’ is not a novel with a mid-term ending as its main story? “It’s clearly written in the book, so why don’t you know that?”

Just like that, the book report containing Min Hyo-chan and Rapid Boys’ dreams and hopes (if I show them a crappy book report, writers will come and give me a promotion, right?) was shattered.

The shattered fragments pierced Min Hyo-chan’s heart like a dagger, shattering the innocent boy’s heart.

just as expected,

These merciless hands belonged to Gu Yuna.

“Why can’t you answer?”

“eww… … . Ugh… … .”

Min Hyo-chan realized why there was a in the literary arts department of Baekhak Arts Middle School, and passed away due to a murderous attack that seemed to take his breath away.

dump-

Min Hyo-chan, mentally shattered, fell down on the desk.

Next to him, his younger sister, Min Hyo-min, was stretched out like green onion kimchi.

Next to him, Kim Byeol was staring into space and laughing heartily.

And at the back of the classroom,

Likewise, Moon Ji-seop and Ahn Joo-hee, who were mentally broken, became cold corpses… … .

In the end, only Gu Yuna, the fearsome blood demon who turned the classroom into a sea of ​​blood, was left alone.

“… … .”

Gu Yu-na looked at Min Hyo-chan, who had collapsed, expressionless, and muttered in a dry voice.

“Let’s move on to the next book report.”

This is a technique recognized by Gu Hak-jun, a scholar of Jeonghak, while even literary figures are sick of its cruelty and tremble.

Park Chang-woon, a maniac who happily said, ‘I had a good time,’ laughed wildly and burst into laughter.

“Where is the next one! “It’s already finished!”

Gu Yu-na then stared at Min Hyo-chan’s cold body and muttered to herself as if it was a pity for it to end like this.

“… … “It’s over.”

“okay! You did all the research this review time! “What if everyone gets so scared that they all run away next class?”

At that time, Park Chang-woon was about to get up and shake his seat, saying, ‘Hey, it’s hot, it’s hot.’

Gu Yuna’s eyes were constantly looking towards the floor,

It came up coolly.

And then I stared at Park Chang-woon.

“yet. “It’s not over.”

“huh?”

Slender fingers brush the air like a ghost,

Soon he pointed at one person.

It is none other than Park Chang-woon.

“one person. “There are still some left.”

“… … what?”

Park Chang-woon, who was pointed out by Gu Yu-na, was embarrassed.

The embarrassment didn’t last long.

Sigh-

Park Chang-woon’s wrinkled face filled with childlike joy.

“no way… … “Do you want to ‘evaluate’ my book report?”

Gu Yuna’s casual question.

“it can not?”

Park Chang-woon’s immediate answer.

“No way.”

Immediately after the short question and answer, a confrontation was created.

Park Chang-woon, who was about to leave the classroom, was already back at his desk.

Gu Yuna calmly sat in the front seat.

Park Chang-woon grinned as if he couldn’t bear this situation because he was so happy about it.

“Let’s see… … “Then should I tell you about the book report first?”

“I guess so.”

“haha… … .”

Park Chang-woon ended with a cheerful laugh and thought deeply about something for a moment.

Soon, he gave an answer to Gu Yuna.

“The Manjong is… … .”

“… … .”

“It is a novel about relationships.”

““It’s probably due to post-traumatic stress disorder…” Schizophrenia is suspected. It is commonly called PTSD. There is a common perception that it is usually caused by war or disaster, but in fact, abortion also causes many PTSD patients… … .”

There was no particular emotion on Minha’s face as she came out of the mental hospital. He felt strange, so he went to the hospital and was told that he was diagnosed with abnormalities.

Rather, I even felt like something was wrong.

Are you saying that this vivid image of a baby is just a hallucination caused by the brain? So where did the soul of the baby in your stomach go?

Even now, the baby was clearly visible in a corner of Minha’s field of vision. She didn’t think it was a hallucination at all.

Perhaps this could be the struggle of a schizophrenic patient who denies schizophrenia, but Minha chose a final struggle not to admit that he was mentally ill.

Minha was someone who could have been this baby’s mother.

Minha sent a text message to the person who could have been the baby’s father.

-Do you see the baby too?

The reply came back faster than I expected.

-Let’s meet and talk.”
