Chapter 12
Talk to me over here.
“What do you look at anatomy books for? ”
“I’m busy reading the book you recommended. ”
“How do you know so much about a person’s body? ”
Said they were words from medical dramas and documentaries. Seogwang asked with a more bored face.
“No, if you’ve seen so much drama, spit it out like that. ”
“Well, I’ve heard it all my life. ”
“How long have you lived? ”
Suddenly, Seogwang, who was talking like that, whispered in a quiet tone.
“I was worried.”
“What?”
“You told Baron. I think you’re saying that word. ”
“That word? ”
He bludgeoned and said in a smaller voice, pretending not to know.
“You know, black people and stuff. ”
“Oh, there it is. ”
“What?”
The attitude that I just remembered. I was wondering if you were joking, but I think he meant it. How could you do that? Isn’t that the word that pops up when you look at it? Black. Black.
I don’t mean to belittle. The word itself did not imply any bad intentions. However, words are sensitive and delicate, so they change nature in unexpected directions even if they are slightly mistreated. So be careful.
The moment I put it in my mouth, the atmosphere stiffens. I feel uncomfortable.I ‘ve never seen a black person since I was born. To be precise, he was a half-breed born between a Korean father and a black mother, but his race felt black. The school didn’t teach me how to do this. I didn’t teach him what was polite and what was not polite. I was not confident in handling the words I had never seen before and not learned them well.
I tried not to make contact with unfamiliar words adhering to the unfamiliar appearance.
That’s why I wanted to forcefully turn his head as he looked Baron in the eye and said the words one by one.
It’s on my face, so look at me.
Hearing such a western voice, he laughed. And all I’m saying is,
“Suddenly, I met you in the eye. I’ll report you next time. ”
I feel empty. I’ve been anxious. Seogwang wanted to say more, but Moon opened his mouth and stopped there.
“Well done, everyone. It would have been the first word I’ve ever used, but I can see you’re getting used to it. You can see it in Australia, but even if you prohibit duplicate words, there is no shortage of words. Even in this tiny little crack. ”
He did a great job. Since I introduced myself as a mackerel. He had something. I was surprised. Of course, I was surprised by his vocabulary, but that’s not all I was surprised by Mr. Moon.
It’s full of junk. There were as many items as there were for storage. Moreover, there are many words that are invisible as if they were flashy earlier. With his vocabulary, it would not be impossible to capture more words.
Among the many and many objects, it was Baron who stopped his eyes. All the words that Australia used were about the body. The body refers to the human body. That is, everyone has them. What is in my body is also in someone else’s body.
Common ground draws empathy. It’s a very easy way to elicit empathy. Did he know?
Mr. Moon glanced at him, sitting quietly. If he consciously wanted to reduce his relationship with his deputies, this is no ordinary item.
“Ah.”
At that time, Seogwang made a strange sound. Seonghua stared at him, but Seongwang-ho was looking at him. I see why he looked at Barron, and why he uttered so many words about his body. and what he thought when he heard the word.
Talk to me over here.
“Why? You want to know what the drama was? ”
He was the same as usual, but he was sure that he was somewhere in Seogwang. He’s done this before.
“Crazy bastard.”
“What a surprise. ”
He was displeased by his swearing, but he didn’t care about Seogwang. He’s a madman. His notes are almost full on the front. I tried it next to it. Black. Black. It feels so small.
On the other hand, Baron, who was dumbstruck, was thinking the same thing. Of all the words in his face, there was nothing different from the others.
It was a strange feeling. I was just saying the word. It’s just a list of words on a person’s body. I felt flustered as if I had been comforted.
I didn’t think I would talk to the first graders first. I decided not to care what they did. But…
Who the hell is this guy?
A sudden question made my mouth tingle.
*
“I’ve never been to a school library before. ”
“Me, too.”
“I’ve been here before. ”
All the other doormen, excluding Seogwang, were the first visits to the school library. It’s not voluntary either. It was because of Moon’s mission.
“Lend me one book at a time. I don’t care what choice criteria you have. However, choose from the books you have read. ”
The glass entrance reveals the interior of the library. The first things I saw were also the books on the shelf. Seogwang sang a song about whether it was good to see. The size of the classroom was never large. But there seemed to be a lot of books.
When I entered the library, the children of the library were reading at the corner table. He must have heard about it beforehand because he only gave him a glimpse of his sudden visit.
“Doormen? Choose quietly. ”
“Yes.”
Hanmun, a teacher with a peculiar look, warned me. As the teacher in the library, he was rumored to be strict. First-graders, other than Australia, were very nervous and quietly stepped away from him. A new corner emerges as you venture through the high bookshelves. Next to it was a small plastic barrel. When you apply for a book with a piece of paper and pen next to it, it seems to be a system that reflects your opinion. There were only five pieces of paper in a transparent plastic bin. Just like the number of people in the library reading over there.
“What birdstream, so soon? ”
“I guess there were a lot of applicants. ”
It was pinned in front of the new corner. Seonghwa asked as soon as Seongwang pulled it out.
“Have you picked one yet? ”
“Candidate for now. There’s one more if you need it. ”
“I told you I didn’t read it. ”
“You still haven’t read it? It’s a work without regrets. ”
“I don’t know. I’m not going to win this thing. ”
He said to the two of them who were getting louder and louder.
“Teacher Han Moon looks this way. ”
The volume dropped rapidly. Leaving the two behind, he went to the next car. It says literature on the shelf. It was divided into Japanese, Korean, and English literature. He stopped walking in front of the Korean literary books. Author Im Hyun-do. Title mirror.
Im Hyun also had a book by the writer. I pulled it right out. An artist named Im Hyun-do was also a person he admired. He was a writer who wrote until he was over eighty years old before he came back. His last novel was really impressive. It was his work that he bought as little money as he was homeless. I bought it several times and read it several times.
It was the right book to say the least.
Yeah, this is how it’s gonna go down. This is how it’s supposed to be. Even a single word was written in a thorough calculation. Persistent, perhaps obsessed writing. I also wondered if this was possible.
I pulled out the book and opened the first chapter. I noticed a photo that was younger than the face I remember. Even his young hands who swept that picture for no reason.
“You’re handsome, by the way. ”
He was as old as he looked. Besides, he’s handsome when he sees him. He was always a handsome novelist. Until the moment all the co-authors retired and took a break from writing, he didn’t let go of the pen.
“Did you pick one?”
“Not yet.”
Seogwang pushed his head out between the bookshelves and asked. I stopped as I tried to put the drawn book back. I think that’s it. I also enjoyed reading “Mirror.”
“I’ll take this. ”
The popularity of Seogwang came close. A corner of English literature. The book in his hand was the book of world-renowned author Kelly Coin. It’s called Witch Hunt. It was Kelly Coin’s debut book before he became famous. I can’t believe this book is in the school library. I think I should come often.
And he said coldly.
“Better than a bird’s trail. ”
“No, I don’t think it’s a masterpiece. However.”
Suddenly, Seongwang said that, his face stiffens and makes a serious face.
“What’s the matter? ”
“Now that I’m writing, do you think it’s easy for me to pick the book of my fellow writers? ”
That’s how I put the book down. I returned from the human hand to the bookshelf. I stared at it. I’ve never seen anyone pick up a book from a bookstore and put it down again. No, of course there was. You just didn’t see it, to be exact.
I laughed a little. I never thought I’d still have this feeling inside of me.
A little, a little angry. It’s upsetting.
Seonghua, who had picked out a book for each of the new shares, laughed at Seongwang.
“Coincidence doesn’t even know you exist. ”
“You don’t have to know. I don’t know.”
It was a sloth to get hit immediately, but it was not a line to stop there. She opens her mouth, but spring approaches from behind.
“Sunhwa, which one of you is better? ”
“Huh?”
She holds a book in each hand and asks Seonhua. They were both books in the World Literature War House from one publisher.
“I’ve only read the ones on the left. ”
“Really?”
The spring that heard Seonhua’s answer said yes, disappeared back over the bookshelf and quickly came out again. What she chose was a book that she had read.
“Let’s go. ”
“Sir, I’ll borrow this. ”
Teacher Hanmun, who came out of the library where the children were, quietly lent me the book with a strict look. While waiting in line, he returned the book, emphasizing each one.
“Handle it with care. Precious. You’re not the only one. ”
“Yes.”
Everyone responded vigorously and headed into poverty.
“Teacher Han Moon, I don’t think you’re that scary. ”
Spring said.
“I haven’t seen a bad person for someone who cares about books. ”
Seogwang happily said to him. I was so confused as to who was the person who didn’t go to the book because I was afraid. Shenzhen nodded his head and he agreed.
I saw the book in my hand. It was well-maintained.
I felt no stronger wrinkles between Han Moon’s glances than before.
