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 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 .

“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 .
