The After 7 Years
Eavesdropping
“The beginning of my meeting with Lee Young Bum was in winter.” The memory is still clearly drawn on the head. It was as if it had just happened yesterday.
“Snow fell the night before, thus making almost the entire area covered with snow. Everyone who passed by wore their warm, upholstered clothes, including me. It was probably around nine in the morning. There is a bookstore that just opened near the campus giving a 50% discount offer%. Because interested, I went directly into the store,” continued me while continuing to catch my breath in order to tell stories while continuing to run.
“You met him there?” ask Hae Soo. His face began to turn red when he had only run for about a hundred meters.
“Not yet. Listen first!” my tukas.
“OK,” sahut.
“In that store, I managed to get two books at a sloping price, plus it was the book I had always wanted. Of course you know how I felt back then. But ...”
“You collided with Mr Lee afterwards? Like in the drama-drama?” He chuckles at his own words.
“Not .. more precisely, Young Bum was hit. He was hit by a car while cycling,” I turned for a moment towards him.
“Eh?” Hae Soo was surprised to hear my words and spontaneously stopped running.
Spontaneously I also stopped my running pace a few meters in front of him.
“How can it?” Hae Soo walked over.
“The cause of slippery streets,” I replied while breathing while shaking waist. “I who had just come out of the bookstore, immediately approached and tried to help him. You know, when I first saw him, I immediately remembered the genius who was talked about on campus. And his face is exactly the same as the photo I've seen. Only, he was much more handsome than the one in the photo. Although with glasses and stirrups fencing his teeth.”
“Pak Lee wears glasses and stirrup?”
I'm nodding. “His appearance is completely different from the one you now know.”
“Next!” I didn't expect that Hae Soo was as enthusiastic as it was listening to my story.
“Because I knew him, I volunteered to go with him to the hospital. He had a mild concussion and sprained his right hand until he had to wear a cast. There were injuries too but not luckily severe.”
“From there you guys know each other?”
“That's right,” I replied. “By the way ... I will upload my script at Writersleaf.”
“Do you realize that you just switched the conversation suddenly?”
I nodded then smiled widely. “Not too interesting afterwards. You'll get tired of hearing it.”
“Your story has not even reached *******. And I'm sure, after that you'll be more familiar and ...”.
“Do not create your own version! Next time I'll tell you again. Right now, I want to discuss my story with you.”
I tailed, trying to match his running pace while shouting, “wait for me!” but he refused to listen and continued to run.
After I got tired of running, I asked Hae Soo to buy me a meal. After eating and resting for a while, we returned to the apartment. Showing the draft I've written to him then letting him read the first three chapters. There was not much reaction on his face while reading. I was worried that he would criticize all out, until he finally said, “ide the story is good. It just needs a little improvement on the narrative to be more flowing,” he said then turned towards me. By the way ... Where did you get this idea from?” next to his eyebrows up.
“This is a draft I wrote while still in college first, but it didn't finish.”
“ Did you realize that Choi Jeong Hun's character is very similar to Mr Lee?”
“Pak Lee? Lee Young Bum?” manywould be surprised.
“Iya. Depiction of nature, physical form, even the work is exactly the same.”
“This character even existed before Young Bum worked,”. I think he was glued to his boss, and likened it to the character I made with the man. They have different nature.
Choi Jeong Hun has a tall, slender but muscular body and always pays attention to his neat appearance. His face was firm and his eyes sharp. Have a comma hair style with the help of a little pomade. Her lips were a little thick and when she smiled it looked so sweet. His nature is gentle as well as firm on several occasions. He was also a martial expert and clearly he was a strong brave man.
You could say, I have an incredible imagination with regards to Choi Jeong Hun, even though it is only a fictional character, but if I meet him in person, I might fall for him.
It is very different from Lee Young Bum. His personality is minus, he's rude, annoying, and vindictive. Although I admit that she also has a slightly similar hairstyle and physical form to Choi Jeong Hun, but. In Korea, many have a physical form similar to Choi Jeong Hun. And that's not a strange thing. I was also inspired by the actors in the drama I was watching.
“OK. Obviously, I have an interest in your story. If you upload it to Writersleaf, I'll read it there. Give compliments and give a vote. I will be your first fan,” said Hae Soo enthusiastically. Makes me smile without making it.
“I will revise it a little, and most likely I will upload it tonight,” I explained.
“Good. The sooner the better,” he said,

The first week, I had 24 and 16 readers each for my two story chapters. The second week, quite increased, the third week when the tempo of the story has begun to climb, the number of readers I have gained more and even some who provide comments and gifts to me. Comments from @leeky account that I suspect as Hae Soo wrote a comment, “the story is cool. Exciting and stressful. I hope that the author will upload more chapters every week.” This is the first comment I've had since writing in Writersleaf, and I have to confirm whether or not Hae Soo wrote it.
At about eight o'clock, I came out of the apartment with a laptop in my arms. I have to meet Hae Soo. My curiosity about @leeky's account is no longer contained. When I got to Hae Soo's apartment door, I saw Young Bum walking past me.
His hand held the phone in his ear. They look upset, even yell when they talk. I didn't know exactly what he was talking about, but I heard unusual words in between. Prison and corruption. I didn't turn around at all, just stood in front of the door stealing Young Bum's conversation with someone on the phone.
However, suddenly Young Bum turned his head. His sharp eyes were pointing at me. Does he realize I'm eavesdropping?
When I was confused about what to do or looking for reasons if he asked me, Hae Soo's apartment door opened when I hadn't knocked on it. Hurriedly I went inside, pushing Hae Soo who was blocking the door. Until finally, due to being unprepared, Hae Soo lapsed backwards. I fell down on his body. His eyes were glaring at me and at the same time, I looked towards the laptop that was being crushed by my body.
Damnit damnit!
