Chapter 61
Confession of Red Ginseng (3)
“I’m going to get some water. ”
“For the first time in a while, Calm down.”
“No, I think my voice is going to split. It’s our first meeting. We can’t do that. ”
“If you don’t want to go to the bathroom during the conversation, stop drinking. ”
“I see. I’ll go to the bathroom then. ”
He calmed down. In front of a large bookstore in Gwanghwamun, Joo and Seogwang were waiting for Ginger. The next day, she replied by sending me an email stating the truth. Rarely, he replied in English and he translated for me.
In a short email, there was her embarrassment and understanding.
Seogwang said she didn’t have to meet him, but she didn’t cancel the appointment.
“What will I talk about when I see you? ”
“Well.
In response to Western questions, Lord Ahjussi answered. His expression is silent.
“The end.”
He said.
“This emotion will end. ”
He stared at him. Seogwang shrugged his head and raised his head.
“Until then, I’ll have fun. ”
In the end, he was passionate about what he was happy about. I spent time as a normal boy looking forward to meeting him. He didn’t say anything.
However, the children who did not know the innermost part of the book looked around with their eyes.
Seonhwa said.
“Are you crazy? ”
“I feel like I’m going crazy. It’s a beautiful world.”
In response, Seonhua lost his words. Instead, I tapped him.
“Don’t ask me. ”
He cared about the words.
Moon said, looking at the writing, he guessed something.
“Don’t give me that lame line about not getting water on your hands. ”
Unlike Joo-ho, who laughed in vain, Seongwang, who looked beautiful in the world, just smiled brightly and replied.
“Yes!”
He was a strong friend.
“Is my hand a little empty? Do you think he’s got a book? ”
“No. It’s a good place to go. ”
“Really? Your head? You want me to wax it now? ”
“No. Now’s the time. ”
I’ve had hundreds of conversations like this before. I touch my head in a frenzy and fix my clothes. He said, striking his stiff back nervously.
“I’m fine, so just do what you always do. ”
“That’s the hardest thing for me right now. ”
He wiped the sweat on his trousers and said.
“I’ve never fallen like this while meeting someone. I don’t think I’d be this nervous if I met God. ”
“God will be disappointed to hear that. ”
“I’m unleavened. ”
However, he added that he also wanted to find a god who is not there now. Please don’t make a mistake in front of her.
“Do I smell like my breath? I brushed my teeth three times. You want to smell it?”
“Put it away. ”
I opened my mouth and gently pushed away the approaching glare.
“Take a deep breath. We’ll lose before we even meet. ”
“I’m fine. He’s strangely fine. Why wouldn’t I be tired if I didn’t get any sleep last night? ”
That’s because he’s excited. He muttered to himself.
I think we should have this conversation a hundred more times before she gets here.
He looked around at the approaching appointment time. She said she’d come with a green cardigan. Green cardigan.
I haven’t seen him yet.
“Amazing. ”
Seogwang said, a little true.
“What.”
“I’ve come to love someone who has never seen my face. Writing is amazing. I’m telling you how I feel. It’s not the same as talking. ”
He nods quietly.
Writing is amazing. In this barren world, I made a boy fall in love who was only a book.
Kim Seo-gwang, an adult high school student, writes in bad English and waits for her in a clumsy manner.
“He’ll apologize again when he meets me. This time, face to face. ”
“You’ll forgive me. ”
“And I’m going to confess. I still do.”
Not 25 years old, 17 years old. He said he would confess again.
“I’ll make a difference again. Look at his face this time. ”
He recalled her writing.
In the mail she sent, there was forgiveness. She didn’t cancel her appointment to meet. I said I understand him. And at the end, she said like a joke.
Now say something respectful.
She is very interested in Korea and will know what it means to be respectful. There is a street and I become a sister and sister. I can’t go back to the time when I gave and received good feelings in the same age.
Seogwang-do also noticed the moment he read that sentence. Seogwang was a quick learner.
However, Seogwang came out here to meet her. To make a difference again. To confess again.
He said quietly.
“I’ll buy you a chicken. Chill out and come. ”
Seogwang’s face distorted for the first time.
“Enough. One more chicken and I’ll have a bad idea. How delicious is that chicken? Shoot the pizza instead. ”
I was somewhat curious, but he nodded. Feed him what he wants.
“Yes. I’ll buy you anything. Good luck.” ”
A brown-haired foreigner walks in from across the street. A green cardigan. I’ve never seen it before. As you know, it’s love.
She was Ginger.
Seogwang stepped forward.
“We’ll have the best day ever. ”
Inside, there was a slight tremor. Leaving that tremor, Seogwang went to her. I can see him talking from afar. A little hyperbole can be seen.
“First love.”
He smiled slightly at the sweet and bitter word. I remembered his excited appearance.
I took out a small notebook from my arms. Inside was a woman with two children.
Love.
She would have had moments like this. There must have been a moment when I first met love.
He felt a slight change in her appearance, shaded and ferocious as if she were inside him.

Today, the publisher was busy again. They were making books in a space surrounded by books. Read the manuscript, communicate with the author and design the book.
Among them, Nam-Kyung was sending a rejection email. It was an email about people wanting to film his author, coincidental work.
It was not uncommon for a writer to refuse filming. They refuse to be filmed for their own reasons. The same was true of Australia, because he had a mind as a writer, he made a choice.
So what should he do as his editor? Respect the writer.
Nam-Kyung glanced at the emails of many studios and directors who had refused. There was a famous studio and a famous director.
Joo, Joo Young.
The screen that was going down suddenly stopped moving.
Nam-Kyung knows the director of the main event. Because I heard his name on the movie introduction broadcast every Sunday morning. It was the corner where I introduced the director.
Nam-Kyung didn’t pay much attention until he briefly showed the peak of the film produced by the director.
It was the first name I ever heard. It was the first movie I had seen.
He didn’t get 10 million views or an invitation to the film festival, but his films were beautiful.
Why is his name still unknown?
I saw his movie and thought of it first. And at the same time I thought,
It was only a matter of time before this director spread his wings.
Too bad.
I didn’t even think about sending a rejection message to a big director. But it was a pity. It was a pity.
“Let me tell you again. ”
Nam-Kyung looked for his phone and touched his pocket, but it was empty. Where did you put your phone? I looked at the mess on the desk.
So he didn’t listen. The conversation between the two successors who just came into the publisher.
“There’s a strange man out there. ”
“Weird guy? ”
“I don’t know. He’s crashing in front of the publishers. ”
“Shouldn’t we report it? ”
“The guards will take care of it. ”

“I’m going to learn English. ”
Seogwang shoved the pizza in his mouth and said. It was a messy pronunciation, but he barely understood. I said while drinking Coke.
“Why.”
“I promise.”
“What promise? ”
Seogwang opened his mouth by chewing the pizza nervously. The world doesn’t look beautiful anymore.
“I’m going to see her the year I turn 25. ”
“Are we supposed to be friends? ”
“Yes! Goddamn friend. Damn friendship.”
This time, I take a big sip of Coke. He looked like he was drinking. Seogwang said in a crooked voice.
“I just met him and he greeted me in Korean. Goodbye.”
It was half as I promised.
“So I said. Hello.”
As promised. They are good at keeping their promises. Seogwang sprinkled the extended cheese with a fork.
“So I’m going to learn English, and I’m going to tell you in England. ”
“Excuse me?”
I smiled a little maliciously at Lord’s question.
“Hello.”
Greet her in her native language as she did. By the time I turn 25.
“That’s half the story. ”
“I know.”
“That’s enough to know. ”
No one knows if we’ll be able to reach her by the time she turns 25. Maybe she’ll change her mind, maybe she’ll meet someone. However, the slope is set. I’m going to see her. He had nothing but to cheer for.
“Where did you learn to speak English? ”
He shrugged his shoulders as he asked.
“Self-awareness.”
“Will you be self-taught? ”
“Depends on the case. ”
“Bastard. ”
“Haha.”
I had to be beaten for a while. He also said that he didn’t know that he was going to jump you one day. I think he’s been drinking coke.
He changed the subject by taking Cola to his mouth.
“You said you got me a book, right? What book did you give him? ”
“Traces of birds. ”
And I almost blew a Coke. I handed over the liquid that was biting and asked.
“Why?”
“That’s a good book. Again.”
“Again?”
“She’s a coincidence, a fan. ”
I closed my mouth with a furious murmur. I felt sorry for him, and he said.
“What else do you want? ”
“Fine. I’ll eat today. I’ll pay, so eat with me. ”
Then the two of them who ordered all kinds of side dishes and one more plate of pizza eventually packed up the leftovers and went home. Of course, he did all the calculations.
The first love of Seogwang, which was well digested around a circle in the park, stopped.
And the next day, he submitted the contest entries directly to Mr. Moon.
