Chapter 65
“Yes, Writer Kang, it’s Kwon Tewon . The Demon King’s Second Coming is doing pretty well . Just keep doing it . Don’t move away from the plot . Just make the main character like this . ”
“Hello . Writer Yang, It’s Laugh Book’s Shin Dongmi . Yes . Congrats on making your novel views going over 6000 . We’re going to be releasing paid chapters next Friday . ”
The two employees of Laugh Book’s were getting busy .
2 new projects came in . Kang Minho’s Demon King’s Second Coming and Yang Hyeongyung’s Slaughter .
Two projects were doing above average . The tips by Jaegun once a week was doing great .
A day in January .
Today, Jaegun was also in the office with the two . He wasn’t here to look over their writing solely either . He wrote his own paper in a leftover computer .
‘This is good once in a week to change the mood up for a while?’
Jaegun thought .
He had never written with other writers until Minho and Hyeongyung . It was a new feeling . New ideas came up in conversations .
“It’s already been 5, Writer Ha . Aren’t you hungry? Would you like to eat?”
“Yes, I’m fine . You order what you want to order .
Jaegun answered with his hands on the keyboard .
Today was a good writing day . He was going to stay for a bit longer and eat dinner and leave . It was slow because it wasn’t Se Gunwoo’s laptop, but it didn’t matter .
Beep!
A call came from an unknown number .
“Hello . ”
Jaegun answered . The words on the screen were still continuing .
-Hello, Writer Ha Jaegun?
“Yes, Who is this?”
-This is Modern Teen Literary manager Jo Segyung .
The hand stopped .
Jaegun grabbed the phone with one hand
-Hello? Writer Ha Jaegun?
“Yes, yes go ahead . I’m listening .
His voice was shivering .
His heart was pounding hard . His head was heating up .
-Congratulations . Your project for the Modern Teen Literary Contest won the award .
Jaegun sighed
He already knew since he heard the name manager .
Only one person would get the call anyway .
‘Me… . !’
One person per year .
The Modern Teen Literary Contest that was so competitive . The contest that was honored by the literary world . It was the fact that he won made him silent .
“Why is Writer Ha like that? Is it bad news?”
“Shush . Quiet . ”
Minho and Hyeongyung moved to another room . Jaegun didn’t realize their movements at all .
-There’s time since the actual release date . So I hope you can stay quiet until then . You’ll have to write a speech, the amount is…
The manager was talking . Jaegun tried to listen, but the words just didn’t go in his ear .
-Then I’ll call you back again .
“Yes, yes, thank you . ”
Jaegun looked up at the ceiling blankly . He had no thoughts for a while . And then one girl’s face started to show up on the ceiling’s pattern .
‘I have to meet her…!’
Jaegun stood up immediately and picked up his coat . He had to give this information to that one person . If it weren’t for this person, he couldn’t have even written this novel .
“Writer Kang, Writer Yang . I’m sorry, but I have to go . ”
“Is there, is there something bad?”
“No, nothing like that . Then I’ll contact you later . ”
Jaegun picked up Rika and started the car . And then he searched up Dasul and called .
-The phone is turned off so …
‘Dang it!’
Jaegun dropped his phone .
Why now, why at this important time is the phone off .
Maybe she was changing the battery . Thinking that, Jaegun waited a few minutes and called again . But the phone was still off .
‘If this was right, I should have asked where she lived . ’
Jaegun pressed the accelerator . He thought that she was still working there .
It wasn’t a long distance so he got off . The karaoke bar was still shiny .
He didn’t go to the elevator and went up the stairs .
He called again, but another beep came with no answer .
“Hello . ”
The owner with the heavy makeup greeted Jaegun . Jaegun nodded and asked her,
“Hello . Do you remember me?”
“Hm? Um… Ah!”
The owner clapped her hands together .
“The person who writes?”
“Yes, that’s right . It’s nothing, but I wanted to find that girl from last time again, Dasul . Her phone is off so I don’t know how to meet her . It’s important . ”
“I haven’t seen her in a while?”
“Yes? Why?”
“I don’t know . If she’s not here, she’s not . Why? Is the phone off? Did she borrow money?”
The owner asked with suspicious eyes . Jaegun shook his head with his hand on his forehead .
“How long has it been?”
“Hm, about a week?”
“Um… is there any way I can go through the office?
Jaegun asked hopefully . But the owner shook her head .
“I can’t go that . It might be complicated later on . You know?”
“…yes, I know . ”
“Just wait . The phone might be broken . ”
The owner comforted him, looking at Jaegun’s worried face . Jaegun nodded weakly and went out of the bar .
“Sigh…Rika . Where do I find her?”
Jaegun stood there, looking at the crowd going by . And with that, he was asking to Rika .
“It’s kind of sad actually . She called many times to get dinner, but I never answered . I said I would contact her, but I didn’t . ”
The regret was coming through him in waves . Dasul’s face was still in his mind clearly .
“Meow . Meow . ”
Rika turned herself in his grasp . And then, she jumped off . Jaegun was worried because there were many people so he turned around .
“Rika, don’t go away and come here . ”
Rika was walking towards a building with grace .
And then she stopped in front of a girl’s shoes .
“Oh hey~ you’re cute . What’s your name?”
“… . ?!”
Jaegun widened his two eyes .
The girl’s face was stuck in his eyes .
