Book 25 Chapter 24

Bilyeon and his gang's roundtable discussion

Jang Hong: *pant pant pant* I thought I was going to die.

Hyoryong: Brother Jang, you don't look well.

Jang Hong: Ah, I really thought I was going to die this time. I was terrified.

Hyoryong: It's fortunate that your sister-in-law was lenient.

Jang Hong: M-maybe so.

Bilyeon: We can't guarantee you're safe yet. If she finds out you've been cheating for the past seven years and four months, it's over, isn't it?

Jang Hong: Cheating! That's a slander! Are you trying to kill me!

Bilyeon: Hoho, I was just joking. You're acting so wild, it's suspicious? Did something like that really happen? Maybe when you went for training in Japan? Men do that often, you know. Having a local mistress…

Jang Hong: Absolutely not. I have always been devoted to one woman! Like a sunflower, I've only looked at one person!

Bilyeon: Who knows? You were lonely and desolate, maybe you thought about seducing a busty female ninja who was nearby? To ease your momentary loneliness… Well, I understand. Since I understand, you don't have to hide anything from me. Come on, tell me everything comfortably.

Jang Hong: Ah, well, that… Hah! What was I about to say just now? You're trying to trap me by lulling me into a false sense of security with sweet words! You're really going too far!

Bilyeon: Tsk, I was just a little closer.

Jang Hong: Why, why do you have such a grudge against me?

Bilyeon: No, well, I'm on sister-in-law's side. Plus, you said dandelion and then immediately sunflower… your fidelity is questionable.

Jang Hong: Y-you've already worked on me. You must have told me to trust only you, and that you'd reveal your hidden past.

Bilyeon: You know well.

Jang Hong: You're a heartless demon. A man should uphold a man's loyalty.

Bilyeon: Overlooking infidelity isn't loyalty, is it? I'm trying to protect your marriage. Can you understand my wa-a-arm heart?

Jang Hong: I absolutely cannot understand!! You traitor!

Hyoryong: Well, well, Ryuyeon. Brother Jang is right this time. Everyone makes mistakes once in a while.

Jang Hong: (*driving me crazy*) Ah, I told you there were no mistakes! You too, Ryongryong!

Hyoryong: I understand, Brother Jang. I really do. But I will never tell your wife. This is a secret between men. I know well the loneliness of being ostracized and entering an unfamiliar place.

Jang Hong: Don't understand!!! Try to be in my shoes for a moment.

Hyoryong: I'm not married. So it's irrelevant.

Jang Hong: Hmph, why don't you tell Miss Jinseol Lee about it? Ah, no need to bother. I'll tell her myself. To save you the trouble, you can say you "understand very well."

Hyoryong: *Gasp!* Th-th-that's too much!! If you do that, I'm finished!

Bilyeon: (*calmly*) I also clearly heard Ryongryong saying that, so I'll "testify."

Hyoryong: Ry-Ry-Ryuyeon, are you going to sell out your friend?

Bilyeon: I'm not committing perjury, I'm just stating what happened. I have no regrets in my conscience!!

Jang Hong: Right, you shouldn't commit perjury! So please tell her that nothing happened with me. That is speaking the truth. Because I never cheated.

Bilyeon: Ah, that's for your wife to decide. Not for Uncle Jang.

Jang Hong: *Groan*…

Hyoryong: (*I'm finished, I'm finished, I'm finished, I'm finished, I'm finished, I'm finished!*)

Author M: Uh, everyone is in a panic, so I will continue the story in their stead.

Bilyeon: I'm not!

Author M: (*ignoring him*) Well, the 25th volume of Biryeodo has finally ended. I hope you enjoyed reading it. It seems that even B-guy, whose everything usually goes smoothly, isn't having things go well this time.

As I was writing this 25th volume, I suddenly had a thought. Isn't a writer like a radio transmitter?

Why do people write?

When I think back to why I started writing, I also wonder, "Well, why did I start writing?" Of course, it's "because I like it!" but that doesn't seem like a sufficient answer.

Humans seem to know themselves less than they know others. That's why, when reflecting on their actions, they tend to harbor such questions.

Perhaps everyone has their own unique position or reason, but I think writers all wanted to shout something to the world. They write because they want to shout something or show something. Didn't they want to transmit something to the world? Whether it's a message or a story, I think they wanted to convey something. Like a radio transmitter that transmits waves, believing someone will receive them.

If that's the case, there are as many receiving radios in the world as there are people, but unfortunately, the frequencies are all different. Being able to meet readers who receive the waves you transmit is a miracle-like fortune.

Simply reading a book doesn't mean the waves have been received. How the reader receives it after reading the book, whether they've accurately received what the author wanted to say, that part is even more crucial. Of course, the author transmits waves hoping to find readers who will receive them, and readers read various books to find waves that synchronize with their heart's frequency. If those two frequencies match, the frequency is amplified, bringing enjoyment and emotion. Both authors and readers, consciously or unconsciously, likely hope for such amplification to occur, and they encounter various waves today. Of course, those waves don't necessarily have to take the form of text.

I think there are people who, although they haven't written yet, have something like a message or a story building up inside them. When that reaches a critical point one day, it will flow out like water overflowing from a full cup. Then, they can no longer keep that message or story solely within their hearts. It becomes necessary to release it. It becomes unbearable. At that point, I suddenly thought it would be good to have a space where one could pour that out, a space to shout to the world. A space where one can transmit waves more closely, or more easily, to the readers of the world.

I'm currently working hard to gather hearts and minds, thinking it would be fun to create a space where like-minded people can gather and transmit their waves. (laughs)

Do you have something you want to shout to the world?

See you in the next volume.

Bilyeon: I'm not finished yet! Hey, everyone, snap out of it… *muffled*!

Author M: See you in the next volume.
