It was already morning when I opened my eyes. Han Sooyoung saw me wake up and smiled. She was the last person keeping guard. "Did you have a nightmare?"
"A little bit."
The embers of the firewood burning all night was white. I put out the fire and touched my forehead, which had a splitting headache. The scene that I saw through Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint…
Gilyoung, I didn't know if he was okay. "Where is Yoo Sangah-ssi?"
"She went to scout." Han Sooyoung answered while touching her smartphone.
I asked her, "What are you looking at?"
"A novel."
"Your novel?"
"What other novel would I look at?"
Indeed, it would be strange to read other novels under these circumstances.
"I always wondered, is it fun for a writer to read what they wrote?"
"It is very fun."
"Even though you know all the details?" I actually asked without thinking but Han Sooyoung gave me an unexpected answer.
"I sometimes feel that the story is different despite reading the same thing."
"What?"
