89 – Dongmin Lee (24)
Dongmin Lee (24)
So we decided to gather our strength again, but neither Haerin’s strong determination nor my cooperation yielded a good way to break the situation right away.
Eight o’clock in the morning.
♬♪♩ ♬♪
Still waking up at the same time, I turned on the app.
Morning mood by Edvard Grieg.
The magnificent yet lyrical melody is repeated strongly and weakly, gradually establishing the structure of the song.
“… Dr. Classic, I guess.”
I ate warm seaweed soup and sat in the living room.
Originally, I would have to work on the writing first, but I have a goal to achieve before that.
On the shared planner, instead of writing, there were corrections made before going to bed yesterday.
Brainstorming to solve goals in the morning.
“Are you ready~?”
Wearing a baggy sky blue T-shirt and short black pants, Haerin came down the stairs humming his song.
She was in the workroom on the second floor to collect materials.
I don’t know what happened.
… I should have written something down too?
The name is a meeting.
It was embarrassing to have only one notebook.
Haerin looked very happy.
The song that came out of her hum today was ‘Morning mood’ that I heard in the morning.
Haerin came back from behind and sat next to me.
As usual, instead of the long sofa I occupied, I occupied a separate sofa by myself.
I placed a large wad of paper on the table right in front of me.
Kung.
“… What?”
I was perplexed and asked.
It was said to prepare materials, but at most I thought it was a few sheets of paper in her studio.
At first glance, looking through the crack in the door, there were writings all over the walls, and diagrams and the like.
But now, what she brought was, literally, an ignorantly heavy wad of A4 paper.
It’s like stacking a few things sold at a general stationery store.
She leaned against her backrest.
She confidently crossed her legs, her white legs pressed nicely under her slightly baggy pants.
“Whether the goal is to prevent Park Sang-woo or the materialization of the novel, we are headed in one direction anyway.”
Haerin took the lead so that I, who was at a loss as to how to start the meeting, was put to shame.
“To figure out what is going to happen next.”
“… Is that all material?”
I checked the wad of paper.
It doesn’t have the unique line of a web novel, but I guess the dense writing seems to have printed my novel.
… I’m sorry, trees.
“Is it inconvenient to watch on the LCD?”
The side of the paper had a bit of a sense of life.
Index stickers were also visible.
Looks like you read it very carefully.
“Darling, what do you see going forward?”
Haerin asked a question in a tone as if asking a well-educated scholar or expert for his opinion.
It was lovely to see her leaning over to me and revealing the feminine side of herself.
… Actually, I am an expert.
Because I was the one who created the world in 『Journal』.
It’s just relying on memory, but when I wrote the novel, I didn’t remember the previous details in detail.
As I said, 『Journal』 Was the momentum for me.
Writing with momentum, bringing out what is in your heart.
Still, I remember all the details.
“………”
I thought about it for a while and said.
“Simply put, just like Park Sang-woo’s work, the future work will also be an extension of the main story of 『Journal』.”
Park Sang-woo’s name has been changed to ‘Park Sang-soo’ in novels on all platforms currently in circulation.
Obviously that’s not what I did.
It’s not something PD-nim Banyuri did either.
I don’t know what principle it is, but if we bring in an incomprehensible being, it may be God’s prank, concerned that when the real character Park Sang-woo commits a crime, the novel’s content overlaps and reality collides.
If it wasn’t for that, the latest update standard of over 10,000 Harrinians would have revealed the news and its relevance.
Deokhu is a scary law.
Although Kim Hye-eun’s name does not appear in the main story, the scene in which she is presumed to be her is identical.
Of course, there are many more differences from the novel.
In 『Journal』, Park Sang-woo’s victim dies.
However, Kim Hye-eun did not die.
Why?
I intervened?
In the main story, there is no scene where the police break in to stop Park Sang-woo and lose him without being able to stop him.
Of course, there is a short scene in which Park Seong-gang discovers the site belatedly, but it has nothing to do with the incident itself.
Still, the basic flow should be the same.
For example, the next incident will be the sacrifice of the men around Kim Hye-eun.
Of course, the content will change subtly.
If the novel and reality match 100%, then those who remember the contents may behave erratically.
It is a simple principle, such as the fact that a person who knows the direction of development can play the development.
From noble mtl dot com
“I can’t say it’s a perfect match. But I think it’s almost 90% following the original.”
I took out my phone and showed the novel.
“Look. For sure…”
I stopped reading the novels on the mobile viewer with my eyes and put my phone back together.
“… Huh?”
It was embarrassing.
The scene where the ‘police’ ran to save the victim but lost sight of Park Sang-woo was written in the main story.
Contrary to what I remembered, everything was described, even the scene where Park Sang-woo’s girlfriend is taken to the emergency room.
Of course, I didn’t write it.
“………”
Reality and fiction are bizarrely combined.
I was confused.
The scene in which ‘Beom Joo-hyeok’, who appears to be a category-type detective, rescues the victim ‘Kim Eun-hye’ from Park Sang-woo at the end of a hand-to-hand combat is depicted, and this is clearly the reality.
But I never wrote this…
“Is there…?”
I suddenly felt dizzy.
“… No.”
In the first place, it is impossible to write a novel using names that are easy to identify, such as Bum Beom-hyeok and Kim Eun-hye.
At the time I wrote that episode, I barely remembered the name of the categorical detective.
“……”
But seeing as I was ‘expecting’ what happened to the categorical detective and Kim Hye-eun, I might have just forgotten about it and was thinking about the story.
While I covered my face and tidied up the mess in my head, Haerin waited quietly.
When she looked up, as if she was also thinking about something, her gaze was directed somewhere other than here.
She seemed to be thinking as fast as I was.
She put her hand on her paper.
It was as if the calculations had been completed.
I couldn’t imagine what kind of conclusions Haerin’s brilliant brain went through and what conclusions he reached.
For a very short time, I felt a sense of incongruity in the corners of her mouth, her shining eyes, and the overall atmosphere she created.
It was a very brief moment.
I don’t know if time in reality accelerated rapidly while I was slowly clearing my head.
She just smiled strangely.
What is this attitude shift?
“… Data, can I see it too?”
I pointed to Harin’s data book.
You can look at it on your phone, but I think you’ll remember it better if you look at the material she organized.
“Well, I don’t think you need this.”
Obviously, Harin’s expression became strange.
It was still a beautiful and kind face, but would it be an illusion if the face that I had felt human until now looked like an inorganic porcelain doll after a very long time.
She took the roll of paper back.
“… Why?”
“Yes, I don’t think it is necessary. Excuse me for a moment.”
While Haerin climbed her stairs and left her data book in her studio, I held her head and lost her thoughts.
“…The content has changed.”
What is the original and what is the main story?
As if the names of the characters were changed-?
There is no way that the contents will not change subtly either.
That itself is possible.
However, to what extent?
The content of the novel is different from my memory.
I’ve never written a novel with that kind of content.
What’s going on?
No matter what hypothesis you build, it is hopeless.
In this way, the author’s authority becomes powerless.
There was also a possibility that the novel would be “Substantiated,” That is, not realized, but “Reflected,” But this is also the worst.
It is the same that I become lethargic.
Even if Detective Beom Joo-hyung became ‘Detective Beom Joo-hyeok’ and protected ‘Kim Eun-hye’ instead of Kim Hye-eun, if the novel hadn’t changed before that incident, I had no choice.
You can’t live as you think.
Think as you live.
Novels are constantly changing, but as a writer, I didn’t have the power to get involved in it.
A fatal conclusion has been reached.
I went to the studio and edited the main story.
Already tried, but tried again.
Even though the ‘Edit’ button was pressed, the contents of the platform were not changed and returned to their original form.
I opened a Korean document.
As if possessed by something, I connected USB and changed the contents of the first few episodes.
After saving the contents, I checked.
The content was saved with changes.
I sent it to PD Ban Yuri by e-mail.
[Please modify within the platform.]
Immediately after sending the mail-
“Baby-?”
Haerin came up behind my back.
She was smiling lightly, resting her own chin on her shoulder on my shoulder, and she looked very happy.
Why?
I am so confused.
She had been looking excited like a child on a picnic from earlier, but it seemed that her recent events had given her a positive boost.
I couldn’t decipher a laugh though.
“I thought of a simple way.”
“… What?”
“Change the goal first. First of all, we need to get rid of all illegal sharing sites and text files.”
I don’t know why I came to that conclusion all of a sudden, but Haerin declared it.
