Chapter 78
So the first signing event of his life ended in a success .
It was more of a Pyung Cheon Yu than a Ha Jaegun signing event, but Jaegun was happy . Everyone was readers who read his books .
“Teacher Ha, Thank you . ”
Segyung was happy as well .
About 1500 books were sold out during the event .
About 300 were Storm and Gale, and that was enough to make Segyung happy . It was the effect of Pyung Cheon Yu and ha Jaegun combined .
“Thank you for everyone who helped . I’m sorry for asking for such help . ”
Segyung thanked the others .
Suhee and Somii and Jongjin, if it weren’t for then, this event would have been a fail . Everyone forgot to calculate the power of Jaegun’s fantasy novels .
“Then, Teacher Ha, I’ll see you on the radio . I’ll contact you as soon as the script is out . ”
“Yes, Thank you . ”
Jaegun and company went to a cafe after saying goodbye to Segyung .
Jongjin was talking to Somii about their businesses while Suhee was reading a book .
“Let’s eat . Somii too . ”
Jaegun said as he wore a coat . It was all because of them . He needed to buy them something .
“I’m sorry, I have to go . ”
Somii said in an apologetic tone .
“Our family came home today . I need to go back to meet them . ”
“Ah, Really? If that’s the case, there’s no way out of it . But if you can eat quickly…”
Jaegun’s two eyes were filled with shame
Somii continued .
“I told them I was going to eat with them . I’ll eat next time…”
“Ok . I’ll buy you next time . Oh, and Writer Kang Minho and Writer Yang Hyeongyung really like their work . ”
Somii smiled shyly .
The two books that Laugh Books were hosting . The pictures were her artwork .
She got about 500 dollars in total
It was a huge money for a young worker in a famous company . It was all because of Jaegun .
“The representative said too . He didn’t know that your drawing skills were this good when he was working at StarBooks . ”
“Thanks for the compliments . ”
“I’ll contact you if I have any more work . I think the representative feels it’s a bit weird to contact Somii who is in StarBooks for work . ”
“I’m sorry, and thank you . ”
Somii glanced at Jongjin and Suhee .
Thinking she wasted time, she bent her waist and said goodbye .
“Then have a nice dinner . I’ll go first . ”
“Yes, Go in safely . ”
Somii turned around and thought of what to eat .
It was a lie that her family came to visit .
She didn’t want to eat with the cold Suhee so she lied .
“Let’s go, what do you want to eat?”
Jaegun asked them
“How’s a mixed soup?”
“Yeah, it’s good . We ate it a lot at school . ”
“I’m fine . ”
The three people decided and went to find a store . Jaegun was wondering how to refuse when Jongjin asked him to drink . He couldn’t visit his father with a beer smell .

“How is it? It’s good?”
“Yes, I like it . It’s a good idea . ”
Hyeongyung said as he looked down .
It was cheap gloves . The fingers part was cut off so his fingers stuck out .
“Where did you learn this?”
Hyeongyung’s mouth was breathing out cold air . Minho answered .
“When I was working at the gas station . Our hands get cold in the winter . ”
“You cut it like this at the gas station? Why at the gas station?”
“I have to give them their receipts . It’s sticky so it’s really hard to take it off with gloves . ”
“Ahah . That’s really cool . ”
Hyeongyung started to type again . It was the novel that he was working on . The novel didn’t get better, but he wasn’t as sad as before .
‘If it was just me, I would have given up a long time ago . ’
He would have never gotten here if it weren’t for Jaegun and Minho .
He thought of it as he started working .
Just then
The door opened with a sound of the someone pressing the pa.s.sword .
Seeing Jaegun, Minho and Hyeongyung smiled at him .
“Writer Ha, what’s up with no before call?”
“I had time left so I came here . I was going to work with the help of your energy .
Jaegun’s glance was heading towards the bathroom . There was the noise of someone taking a shower . It meant that there was someone else here .
Minho said to Jaegun .
“Someone else came . ”
“Ahah, I see . Eat this . ”
Jaegun pulled out a bag .
“It’s sushi . It’s for 4 people, so eat it well . ”
“Writer Ha…”
“I ate . Oh, you can eat it with the writer that’s coming out of the shower . ”
Jaegun put Rika down and sat on his seat .
Today was the Writer’s Night radio show
He was going to waste time by writing here .
“Writer Kang Minho, I’m sorry but could you look after Rika? I have to go somewhere . ”
“I’m fine . I would actually like it . I write well with Rika for some reason . ”
“Me too . Hahaha . ”
Jaegun laughed and turned on the power .
He needed to think . He had finished the entire story of the Breathe and now he could think of a new novel .
‘I want to write something I want to write . Hm…’
He was thinking of what to write about without concerning about genre .
It was a thought that he had since a week ago .
He came here because maybe a story would come up when he was talking to others .
Like he did with Dasul .
‘Why is Dasul so busy all of a sudden . ’
After his dad’s accident, Dasul put up a lot of excuses saying that she couldn’t meet him . So Jaegun couldn’t meet Dasul since then .
“Ah, that’s good . ”
The bathroom door opened and a woman’s voice came out .
“Hm?”
Jaegun was surprised and lifted his head up .
A young girl was coming out with a towel .
“Ah? A person came?”
“I said a lot of times? It’s Writer Ha Jaegun . Writer, this is Jang Eunyoung . She’s a year younger than me . A romance writer . ”
“Aha, h.e.l.lo . I’m Ha Jaegun .
“Jang Eunyoung . I’m sorry that I had to greet you like this . I’m reading the Breathe’s really well . You write very well . ”
“Thank you . ”
The two people shook hands .
Jaegun didn’t show it but he was surprised .
First, a girl came in .
And then from what Minho said, she was 34, but she looked like she was in her 20s . She was just a girl with beauty .
“Oh . What’s this? Sushi?”
“Ah, yes . I bought . You should eat . ”
“Ah . If you thought I was going to say no, that’s wrong . I’ll eat well . Writer, you too . Hyeongyung, Minho, come on . ”
Jaegun could see her personality with that . She was a very easy person .
Jaegun sat back down in his spot and answered .
“I’ve eaten . You guys eat . ”
The writers started to eat . Jaegun started thinking .
Nothing came up .
He couldn"t think of anything until the writers finished eating . The word doc.u.ment stayed empty .
“Wow, this is really funny . ”
Eunyoung said baffled . In her monitor, there was a j.a.panese website .
“What is it? News?”
“It’s not the news . I was looking for things and just randomly found it . A schoolgirl killed herself and she was 4 months pregnant . The person who wrote this is her friend . The family didn’t want the baby, so the body just got burned . ”
“Ah…! But the law is like that?”
Jaegun was listening to her story with shame
At such a young age . Giving up on life . How much would the parents hurt at that news?
Just then . . .
‘Hm . . ?!”
