”My apologiesI just received a request and am unable to focus on the manuscriptWhen I have soood day”
His cell phone went off again as soon as he hung up the call
He was about to share sojinDue to constant phone interruptions, Jaegun was not even able to touch his food
”hello?Ah, yes…… Lecture?I a a lecture is very difficult at this timeAlso, there is a lot to prepare for it”
While Jaegun was on the phone, Jeongjin had finished his ramen and placed the dirty dishes into the sink
Jaegun's ra noodles
”Sorry JeongjinI can't believe I a flooded with all these phone-calls at once”
Finally hanging up the phone, Jaegun said with a sigh
”I really think that I need to change my cell phone number”
”Has your number been hacked somehow?”
”That's the question I've been wanting to ask myselfEmail is even worse”
After the start of n for 'Su call volureatly
Most of the calls were th novels, while many others were requests for lectures froanizations
Certainly, it feels great to haveto work on their projects
However, it is ile person
Most of all, Jaegun was fatigued
He had exhausted all his energy to the writing of 'Summer of a 20 year old'
He is still reeling fro with physical and ue
”Try to take on a few good lecturing opportunities, if you can”
Jeongjin said, returning to his seat
”They are offering several thousand dollars for a few hours of lecture, ould you turn it down?If I were you, I would do it in a heartbeatIt is my month's salary for a day's work”
”I found it challenging to deliver even an orientation lecture to inco 'Summer of a 20 year old'I must take it easy for a while”
Jaegun picked up some ramen with chopsticks
Fully expanded, the noodles broke off and fell back into the bowl before even reaching his mouth
Jeongjin snatched away the bowl and dumped the entire content into the sink
”They are still good to eat, aste them?”
”Don't be a poor ridiculous e of ramen noodlesActually, the problem isn't the ramen……”
Before finishi+ng his thoughts, Jeongjin clicked his tongue in disbelief while scanning the small one room studio
”You have made so much money, yet why do you live in this tiny, one room, rat hole? Please move”
”This place is fine for me”
”You are one thing, but are you not concerned about how cramped Lika would feel?”
”I don't have a big chunk of money for that at this tile residency in SoowonI was planning to save up royalties from now on”
”So, go tour the lecturing circuit”
”Wouldn't it be better to write again after a hiatus”
”SureDo as you pleaseAnyway, I guess you are content being a popular author, who is sharing a bowl of ramen noodles in a tiny studio…! ”
Today is the book signing day to celebrate the publishi+ng of 'Sujin's visit todayCoincidentally, today's book signing will occur at theof 'Raging Storm'
”Hey, just get dressed”
Jeongjin said as he placed a pot of water on to the electric rangeUnlike Jeongjin's forun was still in his scruffy sweat pants and shi+rt
Jaegun said casually, as he looked on Jeongjin, as unsealing a fresh package of ramen noodles
”Thanks”
”You oweyou a ramen”
”Besides that, thanks for co by today”
”It was et dressed”
”OK”
Jaegun took off his sweats and put on fashi+onable forers
They were Jane's presentsJaegun wanted to wear jeans and coesture
”That's not stylish at all”
Jeongjin threw a light joke, after watching Jaegun sitting on the floor and attacking his ramen noodles in his formal wears
Taking a short pause froun broke out into a chuckling laughter
”Chaerin, stop reading and get some shut eyes”
”I am fineI had over 5 hours of sleep yesterdayI'm off until tomorrow for personal reasons, so I'm okay”
In a spacious rear seat of a darting van
Chaerin was in the'Summer of a 20 year old'
After preordering the book, she had already read beyond the half way point
”Wow, this author's writing is really entertaining……”
Chaerin murmured with admiration
Even though she has becoroup in the country, her love for reading has not been diin withMajoring in Korean Literature was also her own decision
”I wonder howone has to do to reach this ”
The ave an apathetic look over his shoulders, he said nothing
”O-ppa, when you get a chance, you should try to read this bookThis author's writing is a”
”I aet sleepyIt will lead to an accident”
”Always excuses”
Feeling some stiffness in her wrists, she put down the book and repositioned herselfThen she searched for Jaegun Ha's name on her cell phone
Shethe profile that she had casually scanned over in prior times
”Graduate of Myung Kyung University of Arts I wanted to go there in the past”
She clicked on the profile, er that ell manicured and colored in red
Up cae and filled the screen of her cell phone
Immediately, Chaerin's eyes opened wide
”?O-ppa, we are in Jaht?”
”Well, there is some traffic, why?”
”Let's briefly stop by Bandy & Lunia”
”Do you need to buy a book?Just order it over the internet”

”Understood, let et it”
”No, I will go by myself”
”What?”
The er frowned as he looked back

As if a h, she had pulled down her hat to cover her face
”This should help keep ht?”
”Chaerin, even with all that, nize you”
”I will be very quickIt won't even take 5 minutes”
At last, Chaerin has won the argument
