Novelist Running Through Time - Chapter 38



Only Krnovel

EP 2 – Other

Professor Koo Hak-jun was a famous novelist and polemicist.

So we didn’t talk about unfavorable topics.

“···But you, Yubin. “Didn’t she say she had something to do today?”

“My beloved younger sister said she wouldn’t go to Baekiljang with me even if she died. So I left it to the driver. Why is Dad home at this hour? “Isn’t it time to pick up Mom when she gets off work?”

Gu Hak-Jun. University professor. 45 years old.

I am at an age where I am not good at expressing my affection for my wife.

“Who said they were coming to meet me? “We just happened to run into each other in front of the house because we both got off work late.”

“Write it. If I do this, mom gets angry again…”

Gu Yu-bin muttered, and was quickly able to figure out why her father, who usually got off work at 11 p.m., which was her mother’s work time, came home particularly early.

Teacher Koo Hak-jun, who hates electronic devices, was sitting in front of the TV, and at the top right of the screen, there was a notification that said, ‘1 minute before the special episode of the Gifted Exploration Team airs.’

“oh! “Was this today?”

Gu Yubin threw herself on the sofa and sat next to her father. She is also a writer. I can’t help but wonder who the famous writer is.

“Ah~ I was originally the genius on this floor. The good times are all gone. Anyway, I’m a gangster…”

Gu Yu-bin was upset that the title of ‘Young Genius Novelist’ was taken away. It was said with a playful expression, so even my father had a hard time telling whether he was serious or joking.

Gu Hak-jun asked this instead.

“Do you believe that rumor?”

“A writer is an elementary school student? What does it matter if it’s real or not? “If it’s true, then it’s a genius. Even if it’s not, who can argue with Baekhak Group being a genius?”

“Talent is deceiving. “Do you mean this?”

“It’s similar to saying that girl groups compose and write their own lyrics. “It’s similar to saying that she’s a natural beauty who hasn’t had plastic surgery, and it’s also similar to saying that she’s never been in a relationship, right?”

“Haha… now you’re saying you’re going to play a celebrity as a writer too.”

“For no reason is it a program run by Baekhak Entertainment and not Baekhak Bookstore.”

“It’s starting. “Let’s take a look.”

The father and daughter, sitting side by side on the sofa, began watching the broadcast with critical eyes. They didn’t know it, but the expression on their face was like a bungeoppang.

And they witnessed it.

[Life in daycare? I’m not very free…]

A little boy in daycare.

[Is there anyone on this floor who doesn’t know about the climbing fee business?]

[Kids these days are a lot smarter than you think. Is it like that with YouTube…]

[Oh, and I would like to express my gratitude to the Catholic Church of Korea Central Council and the Presbyterian Church of Korea for their constant support of Saebitneulbom Orphanage.]

A child who learned about the world too early.

and.

Genius.

[···The only word that can express the emotions felt in a novel is the title of the book.]

[Just as there are no identical people in the world, there are no identical novels in the world. This is because a novel is a reflection of the writer’s humanity onto paper.]

[And what I face at the end is my other self, who I can’t believe I wrote.]

[So the more I write a novel, the more I feel like I’m learning about myself. It’s not just me going through painful and happy experiences, being swept up in the world and drifting, but looking into the way I perceive the world and discovering how I create a world.]

[···Maybe you could say I’m addicted to this. So even though it’s painful, I write.]

They saw talent shining brightly like a star.

The world would be the same too.

* * *

A star was born.

Not a star of the literary world, but a star of the whole world.

The special broadcast, which was released through Baekhak Culture Broadcasting Service (BMB), quickly spread throughout Korea.

Through SNS, word of mouth, rebroadcasts, news and newspapers, and community sites.

Now, countless people talk about the writer without the intervention of Baekhak Entertainment’s public relations team.

Because it was not an issue that could be ignored.

– Breaking news, heretic from the literary world… turns out to be an elementary school student

– Author who has won 16 literary awards simultaneously… “6th grade elementary school student”

└ Why is this real??????

└ It’s really amazing. I’m proud..^^

└ I came here to criticize the news article because the title was like Gukbong TV, but it was a solid article containing only facts.

└ Elementary school genius writer? Are elementary school students across the country now having to go to essay writing academy while being compared to that kid?

└ Seeing how proud people are already popping up, the title of K-genius writer is a given.

└ Don’t make too much of a fuss… As anyone who is interested in literature would know, all the literary awards that author received were fabricated. Didn’t you lie about anything else?

└ “If you buy one literary award, it’s expedient, but if you buy 16, it’s art.” This is something he himself said on air hahaha.

└ I couldn’t help but be amazed while watching,, How can someone at that age have such knowledge? As expected, I can only admire that he is a genius,,

└ Are you a genius if you don’t speak lamely? What a funny Jjambbong. It was obvious that I was reading the script.

└ If you read the script like that, isn’t that just genius?

Finally, a typhoon in a teacup was sweeping the world.

The literary writer is no longer a celebrity in the literary world, but has become a celebrity in Korea. Both positive and negative attention flocked to the young genius writer.

And attention, whether positive or negative, is good.

What the PD experienced at the broadcasting station is proof of that.

“I received the warning from the Korea Communications Commission.”

The director of the entertainment department frowned and said.

Because he was covering his mouth with his hands, the PD couldn’t tell what the director’s mouth was like.

The director of entertainment continued his admonition, covering his mouth with his clasped hands on the desk.

“What on earth were you thinking when you sent out words like this without even editing them? And overall, the level of language is too high. Just by looking at it, it felt like a warning… Please write a letter.”

The PD was silent for a long time and then suddenly spoke.

“···But it was a success, right?”

The director lowered his hand covering his mouth.

The corners of the director’s mouth turned up sweetly.

The PD smiled together, looking at his bright red gums.

“Director…”

“boy···. “I knew I could do it.”

In a mass media society, one genius can make so many people cry and laugh. It was another form of cultural power.
