My sister and mother enter the house, and I am about to go in, but I hear the door open from downstairs and the sound of footsteps rushing out. I looked down involuntarily and it was Park Sang-sik.

Why are you so busy going out in the morning?

I kept looking at him as he walked out the gate out of curiosity.

Looking back at him walking down the street in front of the door, he tried to withdraw his gaze again, but stopped when he saw the person who appeared in front of him.

He was a little far away, so I don’t know his face for sure, but he was someone I knew roughly.

The cartoonist Hyeong-seok Kang is definitely there.

Why is that person here?

***

“Hey, I’m really sorry for coming so early in the morning.”

Kang Hyung-seok said with a slightly awkward smile.

Park Sang-sik, who looked at him indifferently, opened his mouth.

“What are you doing?”

“Hey, there’s nothing to say so coldly between us.”

“Are we between us?”

When asked with a slightly absurd expression, Kang Hyung-seok flinched and immediately opened his mouth with a glance.

“Ah really. That day, I am sorry. So, don’t be too harsh on it. Because I didn’t like it either.”

“I have something to tell you. Or do it quickly. It would be difficult for me if Yunhwan even saw that I was with Professor Kang.”

“Hey, are you still mad at me?”

“I don’t know, but I don’t think so.”

Kang Hyung-seok’s expression brightens at those words.

“okay? That’s good. I thought you might still be angry because of what I said.”

“It’s not like that.”

“Isn’t that so?”

“I mean now Yunhwan is not interested in the teacher at all. So it’s not about getting angry and sleeping.”

“What does that mean?”

“I literally lost my mind. Now, it means that he doesn’t want to see him at all.”

“······What?”

Kang Hyung-seok hesitated for a moment as if he was in shock.

It’s not that he doesn’t care about his actions, it’s that he completely erased the relationship he had ever had with him.

Perhaps because of that, Kang Hyung-seok’s expression suddenly became busy.

“Common sense, help me. As you know, I bet everything on the script book manga. But, if I break down like this, I’m done.”

“·······The script is not the only way.”

“You’re saying that because you don’t know yet. These days, comics are gaining popularity little by little, and even though magazine comics are on the rise, script writing is still the trend. It’s impossible to survive as a cartoonist if you don’t have a perfect place here.”

“There, sir…”

“Common sense, I’m sorry. I really have nothing to say. What I was thinking at that time… and that. If I succeed, there will be more opportunities for you as well. If Yoonhwan doesn’t work, you can help me too…”

“Hey, I’m sorry, but we have something we’re working on right now.”

However, Kang Hyung-seok nodded as if he knew that fact already.

“Yes, I heard. He said he was in the Jeon Sang-gil studio.”

“Yeah.”

“Those people are like leeches. They often just skip the sweet water and throw it in the trash can later.”

At that, Park Sang-sik was absurd and smirked.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s what the teacher meant.”

“What?”

“Still, the teachers I work for now at least treat me fairly. Rather, I am closer to the kind of person you are talking about now.”

I flinched at Park Sang-sik’s words. However, he soon managed to control his expression and started crying.

“Common sense…”

“I’m sorry, but don’t come here anymore. It would be difficult if the person who used such abusive language at us was like this. And if I knew that I met the teacher, Yunhwan wouldn’t like it either. So. Go back.”

Saying that, Park Sang-sik turned around.

Then, Hyeong-seok Kang, who saw it, covered his face with both hands and started trembling. Then, he called Park Sang-sik again.

“Common sense, can’t this be done?”

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

***

I stood there looking at the direction he went out for a while, then sat down on the stairs in front of the gate.

And after a while, Park Sang-sik approaching the house is seen in the distance.

In his hand, he holds some ramen noodles that he bought at a nearby hole-in-the-wall shop.

He looked at me and stopped.

“uh? This is Yunhwan.”

“Don’t eat too much ramen, it’s bad for your body.”

“What are you talking about? is it harmful It’s the first time I hear anything like that.”

“It goes without saying that processed foods are not good for the body.”

“processed food?”

But somehow they don’t accept my words.

Do you think that ramen is good for the body?

Seriously, seeing the commercials these days was absurd. Potato chips advertised that potatoes are good for the body, and that children’s ramen is good for children’s brain development.

At this time, this kind of reaction is understandable, considering that advertisements were also recognized as information.

Because my belief in the information on TV was almost religious.

“Well, anyway, don’t eat that and let’s go to my house, but the twins should have eaten first and then the meal should be ready now.”

“Ah, twins, today is the day of the combined test, isn’t it?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“uh.”

“Ah, I bought some shit, but I forgot.”

“OK. Let’s just go up.”

“Oh, yes.”

Saying so, follow me up the stairs.

*

“I’ve had enough. Mother.”

Park Sang-sik patted his stomach a few times and then scratched the back of his head and laughed.

“Huh. okay. Now, don’t eat alone, let’s come and eat.”

“Oh, I can’t. How can you make a fuss?”

“Where is that word? He’s like a son. And thanks to you, Yunhwan too…”

Then the older sister interrupted her mother and interrupted her.

“Mom, stop it.”

“Oh my, I’m the master.”

After clearing the table, my sister immediately grabbed a book.

“I’m going to the library.”

My older sister now completely quit the company and started studying for the GED. It is said that they are preparing for the junior high school entrance exam next year, and the high school entrance exam after that.

Anyway, following her older sister, her mother also goes to the market and leaves her house to wear it.

There was silence for a moment as the whole family left the house.

As I stood still without saying a word, Park Sang-sik, who had been paying attention since the time I ate, carefully opened his mouth.

“Have you seen it?”

“uh.”

“·················ogue.”

Park Sang-sik was startled and then he nodded his head.

And soon he opened his mouth again.

“Yes, Kang Hyung-sik came to visit.”



“What were you going to do?”

Even if I worked with him again, I had no intention of stopping him.

After all, this person is the original author of the Gomtangi series, and there is a possibility that he will succeed as it is.

Of course, I don’t know exactly what will happen because I don’t know whether Park Sang-sik will succeed just because the Gomtang series is successful, but he thought he would find his own way.

Park Sang-sik scratched the back of his head and smiled bitterly.

“Whatever we decide to do, the relationship is over anyway.”

“·················ogue.”

“If it had been before, I might have worked with him again out of compassion. ‘Cause I’m that kind of person That is why I wasted two years of my time not being able to receive any money from the studio like a bastard in the past.”

Park Sang-sik frowned for a while, and then his expression brightened.

“By the way, before that man, he acted so arrogantly as if he would never set foot in this world again. I was surprised that he changed his face like that and got down to his knees.”

“Are you on your knees?”

“okay. ‘Cause I’m surprised All of a sudden, on the street, how embarrassing.”

I was a little surprised by that too.

On the other hand, I wondered how much he would have been in a corner, so I felt a little pitiful.

“It seems to have been a problem in the end that the script was expanded with the help of a magazine because it was well-received. It seemed like the two works were completely ruined, and the magazine was completely closed.”

“·················ogue.”

“By the way, I’m worried about the kids in the studio. Most of them came up penniless from their hometown. You will probably have to go back home.”

“Can’t we just go to another studio?”

“All the talented kids have already moved on to independent or large studios. The remaining children are rookies that Mr. Kang is using almost pennilessly, who will accept it?”

In the world, when a group of leaders fools around, the people below them do more harm.

“Suri?”

When I went to Park Sang-sik’s house in the morning, he was getting ready to go out. So he inquired, and he said that there is an older brother’s studio in Suuri’s side.

“okay. I think I will have to stay there for a day or two.”

“Why? What’s going on?”

“Ah, this time a magazine called Kyungyang Boys was launched. It seems that there is an opportunity to put a short story there. So I want to go see it.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, I had forgotten that the Kyungyang Shimbun had launched ‘Boys Kyungyang’ in December 1983.

If it’s the first issue, there’s a need for a cartoon that needs to be published right away, so it may have been a request.

“Then you’re going to help me with the story?”

“No, I’m trying to help with painting. In fact, I’m working on my own without any students.”

“Alone? Can you work alone?”

“It’s difficult. But since I was a cartoonist who had never been active before, I couldn’t afford to hire a student.”

He was a cartoonist who never had a chance to draw.

If he doesn’t have a job, he’s just an idiot.

“Actually, a senior I know recently received a call from a magazine that a position was vacant. So I had a hard time picking it up. When I try to do it, it turns out that I don’t have enough time. It seemed like it was because it was a vacant seat that suddenly appeared shortly after the publication of the first issue.”

It was nice to have a job, but when I received it, I realized that time was running out.

It’s a bummer…

“So he called late at night and told me what was going on. I’m sorry that I don’t have enough time to work on my own without sleeping, but can you help me? So, I’ll try to help, even if it’s just for a day or two.”

Haha, since the storyline has already been worked on and passed over, Park Sang-sik should be able to afford it now.

Anyway, this person is really weak in affection…

How many times have I said it’s a problem, it’s amazing to see this happening.

But still, this is the charm of Park Sang-sik. I also like this person because of his appearance.

“Then, let me go too. Even if it’s a little bit, the country might be able to help. Well, the eraser is good too.”

It wasn’t long, but there was a time when I used to draw my own pictures, so it won’t be a hindrance.

At the very least, you can even erase it.

Actually, I’m more curious than that.

If Park Sang-sik wants to help even this much.

There is something like that because I am a fan.

“What? you too?”

“Why not?”

“Not that. And the nobleman’s situation is not even in a position to pay.”

“If money is the goal, then you can write a story. Do you really need to post-process the cartoonist’s work? If that’s the case, I’d rather go to my teacher’s studio and work.”

“Well.”

Park Sang-sik frowned and immediately nodded his head.

“Then let’s go together. At the same time, I also watch cartoonists who are completely poor.”

*

“Are you here?”

“okay.”

Kang Hyung-seok’s studio is also a bit shocking, but this one is a bit more upbeat.

It was an old one-story building that was hard to even tell when it was built.

The wall that looks like it will collapse is said to be the case, but it is a worn-out slate roof, and the wall is full of incontinence, which is breathtaking. Perhaps even a simple shock may cause it to collapse in an instant.

At least, I felt like I should be thankful that Korea is not a country prone to earthquakes like Japan.

Anyway, when you enter through the half-rotten wooden gate, it seems that there are roughly four households living there, and there are two shared bathrooms.

One side of the cement floor in the yard is a little off to the bottom, probably because the ground has gone down.

Is obesity dangerous?

While rolling his eyes and looking around, Park Sang-sik goes to the second door, knocks on the door, and goes inside.

“Brother, I’m out.”

I also followed Park Sang-sik inside.

As you pass through the door, you will see a small floor and an old door with a paper towel attached to it.

“Brother, are you awake?”

A voice is heard answering from within.

“Uh, is that common sense?”

“I also brought the younger brother I mentioned earlier.”
