Love in novels, heart in reality
1- Love in novels, the wall of reality
(Familiar clinking sound))
[서윤 어머니]
Seoyoon-ah~ Come out and eat!!
한 서윤 (18)
(Seo-yoon comes out) Oh no! There's a new book I need to read. I have to go and check it out!!
한 서진 (19)
Are you saying that because it's a novel you wrote? You even scribbled it on my desk.
한 서윤 (18)
Yeah! That's what I wrote... I'm going!
(The door closes)
[서윤 어머니]
Oh my... It's so hard to see your face since you're always out there...
한 서진 (19)
Leave it alone, if you catch a cold, I'll take care of you.
My name is Han Seo-yoon
People know me as a novelist who is endlessly loved by readers, but in reality, I am just a student.
The probability that the novel I wrote this time will be successful is 1/2..
Either it completely fails, or it turns into a novel that everyone knows...one of the two.
오전 8:17
[Nearby library]
한 서윤 (18)
Ha... this is it! This warm sunlight... and the bookshelves that surround it... and the novels that bloom between them...
Knock knock ))
?
도 지윤 (17)
Huh? Senior Seoyoon!!
한 서윤 (18)
Huh? Do Ji-yoon! What the heck!!
도 지윤 (17)
Oh, I asked the librarian to help me today! I skipped class><~
한 서윤 (18)
Wow... I'm jealous...
도 지윤 (17)
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Unnie, please ask me too!! Maybe it will work..??
[도서관 사서]
Okay, that's it~ All the seats are already taken~
한 서윤 (18)
Haha ...
한 서윤 (18)
I'm just going to read this and go~..
[도서관 사서]
Oh, the novel you wrote? Did you know this was first posted at our school?
한 서윤 (18)
Yeah~ But come to think of it, didn't you say you had a seat left for me before..?
[도서관 사서]
Ah~ The transfer student coming today said he would do it~ If you look, it'll be there~ He just got here
한 서윤 (18)
No.. I just came to look at the book, so I'll read it quickly and go..!!
It was a little strange at that time
There's no way I'm going to give the librarian position to a transfer student.
(Ha Yoon accidentally makes eye contact with Do Kyung Soo)
한 서윤 (18)
Huh..??
한 서윤 (18)
(Dropping the book in embarrassment) “Oh, sorry…I saw it wrong…?”
도 경수 (18)
(Handing over the book, smiling) “It’s okay. Do you read a lot of books?”
한 서윤 (18)
(Awkwardly receiving the book) “Oh, uh..! I just like novels.. I read a lot at the cafe I often go to..!”
도 경수 (18)
(Expressing curiosity) “Novels? What do you like?”
What is it?
This affection at first sight...
한 서윤 (18)
"Um... mostly romance novels. Those kind of, very rational love stories! Pure and passionate, like the characters in the books."
도 경수 (18)
(Laughing slightly) "Do you think that kind of story is possible? In a world like today?"
한 서윤 (18)
(Avoiding eye contact, embarrassed) “Well, I don’t know about that.. I just feel like it would be nice if it were real..?
한 서윤 (18)
“Ah..there is something like that..I want to experience that kind of love..I want to feel that kind of emotion...”
도 경수 (18)
“That’s why I read romance novels, knowing that kind of love is impossible.”
한 서윤 (18)
her..
Too realistic
There are many writers who write stories in novels based on true stories.
I guess he doesn't really like novels.
So I tried to ignore it, thinking it wouldn't suit me either.
도 경수 (18)
"I just ask one thing."
도 경수 (18)
"So, do you believe that love in novels is possible? Or do you simply use such stories to temporarily forget reality?"
한 서윤 (18)
(smiling slightly) The latter!
한 서윤 (18)
“The fact that I believe in the love in novels... may mean that when reality falls apart, there's nothing left to believe in.”
도 경수 (18)
“But in that case, perhaps the most important thing is to find that perfect feeling you like in reality.”
한 서윤 (18)
….
한 서윤 (18)
“Do you know how..?”
…
도 경수 (18)
“That may be different for everyone, but just the feeling of it in reality may be the true process of learning love.”
도 경수 (18)
So what I believe is reality.”
한 서윤 (18)
….
what
I got some advice, but this bitter feeling…
Is this the one thing he said to me?
It's a bittersweet thing to come across, but there's something to realize.
So from then on
I...
