“The announcement is coming . ”


Segyung said to Jaegun .


There wasn’t music from the speaker .


Jaegun nervously nodded .


And then


The speaker broadcasted:


Announcement . In 5 minutes, on the right side of the front entrance, there will be a signing from Ha Jaegun, the winner of the 31st Modern Teen Literary Contest, for the book Storm and Gale . One more time . In 5 minutes… .


“Hm? What . A signing?”


A few people in front of Jaegun stopped and was listening .


And they realized that they were in front of the signing place and looked towards him .


“Who is that? Storm and Gale?”


“I don’t know . ”


“Ah, let’s go . I’m hungry,”


“Ok, what?”


The people moved away, losing interest .


Jaegun didn’t really care too much, but Segyung smiled bitterly and said to him .


“Don’t worry . ”


“Ah, yes . I’m fine . ”


It felt weirder like this .


Jaegun sat down and looked down . It was better than to meet the glances of the people .


The time was moving .


About 10 minutes pa.s.sed, he thought, and he looked up at the watch .


But it was only about 3 minutes .


‘I didn’t think this would happen…’


He didn’t care about how many people came . It would fine if it ended with that one person . He felt like that before this started .


But the problem was that time moved so slowly .


If this continued for a few hours with no one coming?


Seeing the glances of the people?


It was horror .


“Sign please . ”


Jaegun looked up . He smiled happily .


“What’s up? I thought you had work?”


“I wanted to surprise you . ”


It was Suhee . By her clothes, he could tell the coldness of the outside .


“Sign it . ”


“Ah, ok . ”


Jaegun signed carefully . He did it more carefully because it was Suhee . But the result was a mess .


“I’m sorry, I practiced…”


Suhee laughed as she check it .


“No, it’s cute . But you look nervous . ”


“I’m a human . Ah, did you see Jongjin . ”


“Oh, Jongjin . Hey . ”


Suhee moved towards Jongjin . Her shoes made a sound on the ground .


Jaegun looked ahead of him . The presence of Suhee was giving him confidence .


“h.e.l.lo . We want a sign please . ”


Two girls came and pulled out Storm and Gale .


About 20 years old . It was a young face .


Jaegun asked .


“Thank you . What’s your name”


“Se Gisu . ”


“I’m Jung Yehin . Oh and I’m your college junior . ”


“Yes?”


“I’m a student in the literary department for Myunggyung University . ”


The two girls laughed, looking at each other .


Jaegun stopped his signing and looked up surprised .


“Welcome . Wow, I will see you at orientation then . ”


“Oh, really? Writer, you’re coming? To give a lecture?”


Jaegun answered with a shy smile and finished the sign . And added .


“I’ll see you then . ”


“Yes… and oh! Can you take a picture with us?”


Jaegun turned around to Segyung . She smiled comfortably and said yes .


And then the two girls went next to Jaegun and took a picture .


“Thank you . You really write well . I brag about you alot . ”


“No, he’s busy . We’ll leave . Good luck . ”


“Yes, thank you . ”


The two girls bowed to him and turned around .


Jaegun looked at them with proudness in his heart . It was the good feeling that he was a good senior for them .


“h.e.l.lo . ”


“Aha, yes, thank you . ”


A few readers also came and got a sign . It was about 3-4 minutes per person, so it wasn’t huge .


‘Maybe there wasn’t enough advertising…?’


Segyung felt a bit worried .


It was already 30 minutes .


And there were only 11 people who came to get the book signed .


Jongin and Suhee was worrying as well . There were way too little people coming .


Just then .


‘Hm…?’


Suhee looked .


The girl that came out Jaegun felt familiar . She remembered that it was Jaegun’s previous editor . She saw her at Jaegun’s room .


“It’s nice to see you here . ”


Jaegun was taking the book from her . He didn’t know that Somii would come as well,


“Of course . I’m a reader of yours . ”


Somii smiled cutely and shook her body from side to side . She had a bun with her hair .


“Is it doing well?”


“Of course . My wrist already hurts . I forgot how much I signed from the 10th book . ”


Somii laughed at that .


Next to her, a few teens came to him .


“Um…Writer Pyung Cheon Yu, could you sign this?”


“Me too . ”


It was the Modern Rankings and the Pegelon’s Swordsman .


Jaegun signed . The teens couldn’t hide their joy .


“Somii, did you eat?”


Three more people came at that . They all pulled out the Ranking series .


“Could you sign this?”


“Of course . What’s your name?”


Jaegun told Somii to wait a bit with his glance .


But before that, more readers came .


“Ah thank you . Here . What’s your name?”


“Kim Jung Tek . ”


More readers came behind those readers . And after that, more readers stood behind those .


There were already 10 people in the line .


‘Ah? What . ’


Jaegun was surprised at the sudden increase, but he started to sign .


There was no Storm and Gale . They were all previous books he wrote with the name Pyung Cheon Yu


“Writer, here . Won’t you write more Pegelon?”


“When is the Ranking webtoon coming out? And could you sign all 10 books?”


“Writer, can you take a picture with me?”


Jaegun had no time to stop talking or writing .


He could feel the sweat dripping from his forehead and the stress from his hands and shoulders .
