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 . ”


“h.e.l.lo . 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 .


“h.e.l.lo . ”


Jaegun answered . The words on the screen were still continuing .


-h.e.l.lo, 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


-h.e.l.lo? 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 compet.i.tive . 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 .


“h.e.l.lo . ”


The owner with the heavy makeup greeted Jaegun . Jaegun nodded and asked her,


“h.e.l.lo . 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 .
