It is better to throw away useless thoughts. What I need right now is money.

It’s funny that I’m innovating here, and I’m not sure I can afford it.

For now, you have to think of your family first.

“how will we do it?”

“What?”

“Can you give me both stories?”

“No, you don’t have to. Because if we don’t do that, we’ll look like we’re fussed. After handing over this story, you can see the reaction and hand it over to the next one.”

“Is that so?”

“uh.”

This time it will explode bigger than before.

Perhaps Kang Hyung-seok knew the taste of that human money.

He doesn’t have to go cheap and early.

next day.

Park Sang-sik went to Kang Hyung-seok’s studio.

And he received a whopping 480,000 won from the studio. The price of three copies was 160,000 won each.

The money that came back to me was a whopping 24 million won.

It’s only been a while since I made 70,000 won, but I’ve already earned this much in a short time.

Kang Hyung-seok. Anyway, for me, it is by no means a small amount of money.

Of course, I’m not the only one excited.

“There were four more people in the studio. It seems that the publishers were a bit harsh on this story because it was interesting. First of all, I heard that you were asking for a next project. heh heh Would you be surprised to find out that it was already completed?”

Park Sang-sik shrugs his shoulders and smiles.

“The studio was cramped.”

“They emptied the warehouse and built a studio there.”

“Are you all going to sleep in that room?”

“There was no such thing as a complete refugee camp. It’s a real thief’s lair.”

“Wow, somehow I don’t want to go there again.”

There was something terrifying to think that the smell and the environment could have been worse.

Park Sang-sik giggled and laughed as if he had noticed my thoughts.

“right. It’s the worst, it’s the worst. It stinks.”

When he said that, he had a strange expression on his face.

“Wow, I don’t know if this is a real dream or real. The future has been bleak all this time, but thanks to you, I can’t even go out and write a story.”

“Don’t get immersed in useless emotions, let’s work. What are you going to do when you play?”

“okay. You are right. what do you do when you play have to work Oh, by the way, I asked if he had not yet decided what Mr. Kang Hyeong-seok had proposed before.”

“So what did you say?”

“It seemed like he was still thinking about it for a long time. I only talked about this. It’s not easy to say no in front of that person.”

“Well done. There is no need to say that at this time.”

Having said that, I immediately started a new story again.

There are still a lot of gomtangi series in my mind.

However, as I made the story, a lot of stories that I couldn’t remember were added.

As the time was advanced and made quickly, many new ideas appeared in Park Sang-sik’s head. As a result, it was made more interesting than the original story.

The number of people in Kang Hyung-seok’s studio also increased, and thanks to the good response from this Gomtangi series, the work speed was extremely fast.

It seemed that it took less than three days to make one 100-page book. In fact, the factory system is complete.

And after about 10 days, three volumes of his second work, Living as a Bear, were published and distributed to comic bookstores.

To get a sense of the atmosphere, Park Sang-sik and I stopped by the biggest comic book store in the area just in time for work.

“Is there ‘Living as a Gomtang’ here?”

“Ah, there is. People are watching over there now. I bought a couple of them, and they are so popular. Wait.”

An aunty, the owner of a comic book store, with her cigarette in her mouth, approached a young man who was addicted to reading comics and asked:

“Bachelor, if you’ve seen everything in front of you, can I take it?”

“Yeah.”

An aunt who has picked up the first two books approaches us, and a high school student sitting nearby jumps up and approaches her aunt and says

“Auntie, I’m waiting for that first, can’t she look at me first?”

“Oh, was it?”

After saying that, he looks at us and looks apologetic.

“I’m sorry, what do I do? Can’t you wait a little bit?”

“It’s okay. We can look at something else.”

“Sorry. I’ll give you one hard drive as a service.”

“thank you.”

Having said that, Park Sang-sik looked back at me and smiled haphazardly. And then whispered softly.

“Is this really a good response?”

“Yes.”

We went to the people who borrowed the book with all our nerves to see the reaction of the book while we were opening the comic book.

People are hanging out with their books open.

It’s a story with a lot of gags, so there’s something like that, but it’s strange to see people having so much fun. Even though it’s not my perfect creation, I get a strange feeling of pleasure.

I never knew the author’s feelings before, but now I think I know a little bit.

In that way, we spent our time chatting in the manga room without realizing the passing of time, observing people’s reactions.

After enjoying the atmosphere of the manga room like that, it was already evening, and then we returned home.

After Park Sang-sik enters the house, I go up the stairs, and Kyung-hee comes down from the upper floor.

Ah, looking at her expression, it seems that she is Seon-hee, not Kyung-hee.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Can you see me for a second?”

“Huh?”

What?

It’s weird that she’s a kid who normally doesn’t speak like that, but what do you care?

As soon as I nod my head, I turn around and go upstairs.

But instead of going to our house on the second floor, we head to the roof.

Without a second thought, I followed Seon-hee and climbed up.

hey hey.

the night wind is cold

What do you have to say?

“brother······.”

Huh? Then, for the first time, he called me brother.

However, Seon-hee’s words were not finished yet.

“My brother……, isn’t it?”

“···································································!

────────────────────────────────────

────────────────────────────────────

you’ve lost your future (2)

I was momentarily confused.

Maybe you noticed?

The first question that a child who was not usually able to speak suddenly brought up to me was the question of who I was.

After all, the person has changed suddenly, so it might be strange not to notice. But if you think about it realistically, it’s impossible, so you don’t get it out of your mouth.

But unlike the others, this child had doubts. And that’s why you’re asking me outright.



madam.

It doesn’t matter if I know or not know that I’m not your brother, but that’s when I find a way to get back to you later. It’s difficult to know when you’ll ever be able to return, and you’ve already been questioned.

She answered in a relaxed voice while controlling her expression without expressing her embarrassment as much as possible.

“…why do you think so?”

“Because it’s strange to ask such a question.”

“·················ogue.”

He speaks in a quiet voice, but he speaks with a strange power.

“What would you have answered normally?”

“Crazy bitch is doing a damn thing.”

“······Ah.”

After all, the body was such a character.

Even if I had known, I wouldn’t have been able to say such a thing in person.

I sighed and smiled.

“How did you know?”

“······What?”

“I mean, I’m not your brother. How did you know?”

“·················ogue.”

Er, I don’t know, I’m just going out

By the way, is he upset right now?

It’s obviously a question I asked with suspicion, but why are you rolling your eyes like that?

“As you said, I am not your brother.”

“Gee, really… Ro?”

“Because it is. I drank Bacchus from a junk dealer I met on the street, and when I opened my eyes, it was here. But surprisingly, your brother and I have the same name. HYA, what kind of relationship is this…”

“·················ogue.”

“Am I really a future person?”

“······future?”

“Yeah, the future. do you know The future, the 21st century.”

“·················ogue.”

“I came from there. To be honest, when I came here, I was a little embarrassed at first. I’m accustomed to this, so it’s okay to live. If you didn’t notice, I was just pretending to be your older brother and trying to get bed bugs. Now it has crossed the water.”

Seon-hee, who had been staring at me with suspicious eyes until before, is now unsure of what to do.

And this is what they say looking at me at the most.

“When in the future?”

“You just told me. 21st century.”

“So, tell me the specific year.”

“Hmm, why?”

“To compare with what I know.”

“What do you know?”

what? Is this the case with me?

“What do you know?”

I hid my nervous feelings as much as possible and asked.

By the way.

“September 9, 1999 at 9:09:09. Wasn’t it destroyed then?”

“What?”

It’s my fault for expecting something.

I took a deep breath and shrugged my shoulders.

“That’s something from ‘Queen of the Millennium’.”

“······uh? How?”

‘Queen of Millennium’ is an anime that aired on MBC in 1983 as a sequel to ‘Galaxy Railroad 999’ at the beginning of this year. If you don’t know anything else, you shouldn’t criticize me for your knowledge of manga.

“.·········Well then, in 2008, the world will be destroyed with a super-magnetic weapon.”

“That’s the word from the beginning of Future Boy Conan. In addition?”

“·················ogue.”

“what? Are you already gone?”

I licked my tongue.

Anyway, he’s really funny.

I don’t think he was joking in such a serious situation.

“Then when did you really come from?”

“2018 specifically.”

“2018?”

“okay.”

“Then nothing happened? Isn’t World War 3 going to happen?”

“What is he talking about? Why is that all of a sudden?”

I was nervous at first, but somehow the conversation starts to get more and more interesting. I’ve never had a proper conversation with this kid, so I haven’t had a chance to know about his mental world, but I think I know a bit about it now.

In the meantime, Kyung Hee has been saying that she likes cartoons, but it seems that half of her mind is full of cartoons.

“War with North Korea?”

“Peace!”

“What are Japan’s ambitions?”

“Ambition is a bitch, they’re mortals.”

“·················ogue.”

“What the hell have you been watching until now?”

“·················ogue.”

Then I felt someone coming up to the roof. And soon Kyung Hee appeared.

“What are you two doing here?”

Seon-hee averted her gaze at those words.

Kyung-hee looked at me and asked.

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

But what he was thinking, Kyung-hee’s expression changed strangely and giggled.

“Oh, I see.”

“I know. What?”
