The writer is watching
I'm coming to you now
Kim Namjoon said something incomprehensible. I was puzzled, as I could only understand Yeoju. Jeon Jungkook also looked at Kim Namjoon with a puzzled expression.
The point that confused me seems to be a little different.
전정국
Out of sight.
김남준
… Oh, you don’t understand? What’s the problem?
After nodding and clearing his throat, Kim Namjoon slowly straightened his tall frame and began to explain. I was about to grab him by the collar if he'd just skipped over the explanation, so this was a bit of a relief.
And then I could immediately see why Kim Namjoon wasn't an extra.
김남준
I know you erased someone, Yehwa. I can't remember who it was either... ...but Kang Dada knew.
한예화
That was Kim, Kim Seok-jin.
A scene that flashed through my mind.
강다다
- Don't ever give me that paper, damn it!
……ah.
After realizing he'd entered a novel, Kim Seok-jin no longer harbored any attachment to Yu-ti. He also had no reason to become a villain. Because she didn't hate him.
Because I was just a writer who was watching.
Kim Seokjin had no meaning in this world... ...and so he disappeared. Along with the memories of everyone who knew him.
But Kang Dada remembered, and she had the ability to turn back time. That's why she came to tell me not to give her the paper. Because she didn't want to lose Kim Seokjin.
The puzzle pieces are slowly falling into place... ... Ha, what should I do with this feeling of becoming an uncontrollable bad person? Anyway, this is all Kim Seokjin's fault.
김남준
There's a reason I didn't disappear either.
한예화
Yes, you and Kim Seokjin were originally people who didn't exist...
Shit, that's right, he doesn't know about the magic school you're in!
한예화
Yes, I heard it was all there.
김남준
Because I found the Hall of Mirrors. For some reason, I was used as a tool to find the Hall of Mirrors, because you, Yehwa, needed to see your own condition.
김남준
That's why I became Kim Namjoon, Yehwa. That's the name you gave me.
Yeah. That's the name I gave you...
전정국
I'm sure about using it.
Jeon Jungkook's expression is quite stiff, perhaps because it's his first time experiencing this situation. Was that his usual expression? ... I think so, maybe? Well, judging by the nuance in his words, he seems a bit flustered.
Come to think of it, why did he think someone would take advantage of him? In reality, no one was being used.
If it were a means of novels, I wouldn't know.
김남준
Hmm, that's right. I'm sure.
김남준
It's just, that's how I feel. I thought about it carefully, and there's no other answer.
김남준
Someone's using me as a means to aid in the parable. Other than that, there's no reason for Seok Ji-in to disappear and for me to remain.
What a mess! Your reasoning skills aren't even extra-level. How can you not change jobs? Doesn't the author have some sort of authority?
김남준
Or it could be a means to help the female protagonist.
전정국
Why is this woman like this?
김남준
Strange things happen when you're next to the heroine. Bookshelves fall over, chandeliers break... ...accidents happen.
김남준
And Min Yoongi or Kim Taehyung help the female protagonist. Haha, now that I say it, it feels like a play.
Damn it, I have to make up with Kim Taehyung! I have a ton of work to do. Today I have to go get the magic conch shell and make up with him.
If I don't leave any lasting impressions, won't I end up wandering around Silen and getting blown away by the strongest magician, Kim Taehyung? Romantic feelings don't last a lifetime...
Of course, I don't know because I've never experienced a love as crazy as theirs. Hehe, hehe. Yeah, sick.
한예화
Do you know where that mirror room is now?
Kim Namjoon fiddled with the back of his head, feigning embarrassment, then raised his eyebrows. Something, something was deeply ominous.
김남준
It's gone.
한예화
Where to?
김남준
Kongfun is no longer in Utopia.
한예화
How come~ ominous feelings never go wrong~
전정국
Do you really need it?
한예화
It's not absolutely necessary, but it'd be nice to have... ... No, don't ask as if you're going to tear it open and give it to me.
전정국
How can you tear it open without even knowing what it is?
That's right. Then why did you ask? You're such a shameless swindler, you don't even know the gratitude I gave you for raising me. Tsk tsk.
Internally, while casting the spell, I thought about the innocent and cute Kim Taehyung I wrote about in the magic school with you.
김태형
- Hello, Yeoju.
Oh. What did I do wrong? No matter what I try to do, I can't understand the way the Via people speak. It's just absurd.
Just not reconciling is a pretty good method.
미나토자키 사나
It's a parable!
한예화
Oh my gosh!!
I fell backwards because of Sana, who was peeking out from the corner like a cat. Thanks to her, I received air support from Jeon Jungkook.
Park Jimin, since Jeon Jungkook didn't surprise me, now you're shortening my lifespan... ... Oh my, oh my, people of the world. How does it feel to be going through this three-month courage training camp?
미나토자키 사나
Sorry! Eared Sora is here.
한예화
No need to be sorry. I was a little surprised, but that's understandable.
전정국
You seem to fall down a lot.
This kid's making me a coward? Let's see if you're not surprised when someone suddenly pops out from around the corner.
전정국
Phew.
한예화
… … I don’t even have the energy to get angry.
Of course you shouldn't be surprised. If you were surprised, you'd lose your image as a fraudulent, crazy person. You shouldn't be surprised, at least to prevent your character from collapsing.
And now I've gotten used to this. I've been here with the characters in this novel for weeks, no, months, and I still get flustered by the unrealistic dialogue, seeing those crazy faces every day. It's absurd. Ugh.
Was Jeon Jungkook ever afraid of people in the first place? In Korea, they say people are more afraid of money than ghosts, and people are more afraid of money...
I saw a full-sized conch shell in Sana's thin, pale hand. It was designed like a conch-shaped Bluetooth speaker. It was glowing with a soft green glow...
I have a feeling that it looks familiar.
한예화
Wait, a magic conch?
미나토자키 사나
to?
한예화
Huh? No, it's much further than I expected.
한예화
Oh… …you look pretty!
I flipped the recorder I'd just gotten. As always, human imagination has its limits, no matter where you go. There are things that look exactly the same. Well, the Magic Conch does have a cute design.
I was singing the duet song of Sujibap and Ping0i (ft. Monday) in my head when I was stopped by a sharp gaze.
Jeon Jungkook's expression wasn't exactly... ...the kind of expression that shows he's seen something good. So I wouldn't say he's rotten, but it feels like he saw his friend show off while filming a TikTok.
You've seen me flip over, you've seen my head crack, you've seen me fall off the roof of Utopia, you've seen me get strangled, and you're still shocked that I'm singing now?
전정국
Because I'm so bad at it.
Oh, you really are a fucking bastard who says you don’t read!
미나토자키 사나
Now… …are you going to the female protagonist?
Sana looked at me with a worried expression. According to rumors, Lee Yeo-ju and the two male leads are quite the yutsies...
If I get caught up in that, I'll die even if I can't. The suffering I've endured so far is only so much because I've been lucky. If I hadn't had good fortune, I would have just died.
Even when I got hit in the head with a beaker, Lee Dae-hwi helped me. Park Ji-hoon helped me fight Min Yoon-gi. This kind of thing is really…
Ah, why are my eyes watering? It seems like Han Ye-hwa's unique personality has rubbed off on me.
I quickly unfolded the notebook in my pocket. It was a historical notebook, the one I'd been organizing my story in when I first came here. Its size fit perfectly in my hand, making it a perfect match for the recorder.
I scribble with a pen. No one will know that it is Han Ye-hwa's round handwriting.
Silan Han Ye-hwa's personality level lol.
한예화
… … Yeah. It’s really over now. Now I’m really going to go meet Yeoju.
Sana glanced at the paper, then met my gaze with a strangely determined expression. She looked like a knight ready to die for the princess.
미나토자키 사나
After you leave, I will make sure that no one misunderstands the parable.
미나토자키 사나
Don't move before the holidays. I'll definitely come see you.
... ... Am I allowed to get a little excited? Isn't it unfair to say such lines to a male protagonist with that face? Even though he's Yehwa's best friend, he was a neutral figure in the original.
I realized anew the difference between the words I wrote and this world. I had truly changed so much.
한예화
I don't know if I'll be able to avoid being under Lee Yeo-ju's gaze in Silen, but still...
한예화
I'm never moving! I have no money, no place to live, and if I do, I'll have to give you a new address.
Sana smiled again. The corners of her lips turned up, and somehow, it felt like the last time, and I was overcome with emotion.
Are you listening, Yeoju? So many of my friends are doing their best to ruin my life, you rich kid! I'm a real villain who came from the bottom. If I go on Show Me Money, I think I'll win.
So, you, the last one, definitely mess it up.
Sorry for being late.
