Chapter 58


“A contract?”


Minho asked with a confused look .


“Writer Ha, have you… made management company?”


“No, I have no skill to do such a thing . ”


“But then…?”


“It’s a contract with me . ”


Jaegun answered while putting Rika on the ground .


Looking at Rika who was walking to the window, he continued .


“I want to help you so you can make better novels . ”


“Of, of course . I do, but you’re so busy that how could I ask for help…”


“No . ”


Jaegun cut him off .


“It’s a contract . With me helping you write better, I have a condition . ”


“Condition?”


“Do you know Laugh Books?”


“No, I’ve never heard of it . ”


“It’s a very new management . There’s only one project it’s servicing as well . And the condition is that you contract with Laugh Books . ”


“Ah… yes . ”


Minho answered awkwardly .


He wondered why Jaegun would want to him to join Laugh Books .


There was risk in signing with a new management with only one project . It would be hard to give something that he put in a lot of work to a new management that is yet tested . ,


Jaegun answered first .


“Laugh Books is a management that the editor I admire the most created after he resigned in a company . I’ve gotten help from him and I still do . This is going to be a good thing for both you and Laugh Books . ”


“Ahah, yes… hm? Then, does that mean?!”


Minho was nodding as he understood . He lifted his head in surprise .


“Then is the one project… the Breathe?”


“Yes . ”


Jaegun answered embarra.s.singly .


Then Minho opened his mouth .


Then, 3 seconds later .


He nodded crazily and answered .


“I’ll do it . I’ll do the contract . ”


“You don’t have to decide now . The contract is…”


“No, it’s fine . I know I’ll do fine . It’s amazing that I’m just eating with Writer Ha . ”


Minho was being truthful and not just overreacting .


His trusted in the management that contracted the Breathe . It had given him unlimited faith, .


Jaegun added .


“The representative is great too . You won’t have any regrets . ”


“Of course . I know . I trust you . No, I don’t even have to say trust . I will follow you no matter what . ”


“Ring!


The doorbell rang .


“Ah, I think the food came . ”


Minho quickly ran out to the door .


It was the delivery man .


“This is the right place, right?”


“Yes, right . 9 dollars and 50 cents?”


Minho froze when he checked his wallet . He had no money .


He asked while pulling out a credit card .


“Does this work?”


“You should have said it earlier . I didn’t bring the swiper . ”


“Uh, I forgot I had no cash…”


“Well bring it when you order later or when I come back . It’s not once or twice you ordered . ”


The man said nicely and turned around .


As he was about to leave, Jaegun was holding out the money .


“Here it is . ”


“Ah, yes, thank you . Here’s the change . ”


The man went out .


Minho was so embarra.s.sed and put his head down to Jaegun .


“I’m really sorry . I forget to get money . I’ll return it when my brother comes . ”


“No, it’s fine . Think of it as a contract money . ”


“Yes?”


“You contracted with me . I’m trying to count that money as your contract money . ”


“Hahahah…”


“Let’s eat . It’s going to cool . ”


“Yes, writer . ”


The two people started to eat .


Jaegun started to eat quickly as he was hungry . Minho was eating slowly .


“Uh, Writer Ha?”


Jaegun already finished and was cleaning his lips with a tissue .


As he looked at Minho’s bowl, it was barely half eaten .


“Say it . ”


“I’m not sure what to say but…”


Minho continued after a pause .


“I know you want to help the Laugh Book’s representative . But why me… there’s so many writers better than me . Do you think I have potential?”


Then, Jaegun finally understood .


This Minho didn’t have confidence . He was afraid that his work would harm someone instead of sell .


“There’s definitely potential . ”


Jaegun answered with focus .


“I said earlier at the writer’s meeting . I finished your previous series . You write well . You have the basics . But…”


Jaegun went to get some water .


He continued to the nervous Minho .


“My opinion is that you don’t have a great end . The story falls apart at the end . It was a shame at the weak ending . ”


“Hm… I do get criticized for that a lot . I think that, too . ”


“If you change that, I believe you will have a great career . I will help you . ”


“Yes…”


Minho answered and put his head down .


Jaegun’s words were making him feel emotional . There were few people in his entire writer’s life who had said something so nice .


“It was luck that I was at that writer’s meeting . ”


Minho muttered . He could see the writer’s meeting in front of him .


It was a meeting that he had swallowed his pride to go to . He wanted to meet writers, get opinions and advice, and become a better writer .


And then he met Jaegun there .


And now it came here . To Minho, that was one of the best things that had happened all year .


“I will try my hardest . ”


Minho answered with determination .


He had no shame in learning from a younger writer like Jaegun . He was 34, 7 years younger than Jaegun . Learning had no age, he thought .


“I understood the difference while reading your comments . I want to learn more . ”


“You’re lifting me up too much . Hm… then I want to see what the story will be after book 2 . ”


“Ah, yes . I’ll show you . Come over here . ”


Jaegun read the outline of The King Fallen on Earth very carefully . And he commented on the parts that he disliked a bit .


Minho memoed diligently .


“…I think this is good . You’re good at writing . Just don’t make a story like that . I think you should write like book 1 . ”


“Wow, since you said that, I just have so much confidence now . I’m going to have to start writing after my job . ”


“Job?”


“Ah, yes . I have a part time job at a nearby convenience store . I need to earn my living fees . ”


Minho bitterly smiled and scratched his cheek .


He had to do anything to earn a living .


Jaegun smiled faded as he recalled his life .


“I worked at a convenience store just last year too . ”


“…!”


Minho looked at Jaegun in disbelief .


“Really? No, but you have previous sellers than the Breathe?”


“All of them came out this year . I had trouble last year . I couldn’t even take a hot shower to save money . ”


“Ah, I didn’t know . ”


Jaegun turned his glance to the monitor .


He said as he looked at the outline of Minho’s story .


“You will be able to stop your job as well . Write with confidence . You’ll do well . ”


“Thank you . I will write hard . ”


Jaegun stood up and took his coat .


Rika sitting on the window edge saw him and jumped off .


“Are you leaving?”


“I should . Send me Book 2 when you’re done . ”


Jaegun went to the door .


Minho went out first and opened the door .


“Don’t come out please . ”


“It’s up there anyway . ”


Jaegun said goodbye to Minho, who went out to greet him out, and got in the car .


The car slowly marched forward .


Minho was staring the car . To that, a teenager came behind him .


“Who is that?”


“Ah, don’t surprise me . I told you not to come up behind me . ”


It was his brother living in the same office .


“Who is that? Is there a person who would come with a car to our office?”


“A writer . ”


“Writer? Who?”


“If I say it, you’re gonna die . An amazing writer . ”


His brother laughed at that .


“Oh really? What kind of a great writer? I guess Pyung Cheon Yu, the writer who wrote the Breathe, came over?”


“Hahahahaha . ”


Minho looked up at the sky and laughed loudly


His brother, who thought Minho was laughing at his joke, also started to laugh .


The sky was looking very bright .
