Chapter 23 – Cheer Louder (2)

“This isn’t your house. This is work. What are you doing just coming here? And a person with no business here as well.”

“Then why do you not respond to your calls and make someone come here!”

Myunghoon shouted with his two eyes wide.

In the shadow, Suhee’s facial expression became a level colder.

“I don’t want to call the police so lower your voice.”

“What? Police?”

“Talk outside.”

Suhee went outside first, pressing the door b.u.t.ton.

Myunghoon looked at her with burning eyes and strided towards her.

Without stopping, the place they reached was the resting place in the corner of the building. Suhee with her back to the window crossed her arms.

“Say it. What do you want to say?”

“What is your reason for hiring Ha Jaegun?”

Myunghoon roared as if he was waiting. Suhee didn’t avoid his eyes and answered straightly.

“Because he writes well.”

“… What?”

“You were right. It’s hard to find a writer and hire one in such a short time. But good thing I had connections. An alumnus called Ha Jaegun who writes well.”

“Ha Jaegun writes well? To the point of pus.h.i.+ng me out?”

“Speak straight. The person who said that the draft was bad and refused was you first. And Jaegun is good enough to write a game scenario like you. Even could be better.”

Myunghoon bit his teeth. His short beard that he forgot to shave was shaking.

“That fool… writes as good as me? Even better?”

“He was originally good at writing. He knows to listen to others, he knows to observe, he tries to feel one more thing that could help hims write. He’s a writer with good tendencies. Those show up in his writing.”

“Nonsense.”

“He was top in our cla.s.s and even the two cla.s.ses above. That’s what Han Hyesun professor said. You went there too, hm?”

Myung Hoon filled with rage had a fierce carving on his face.

“Yeah? Then why his a person like that not getting the spotlight? He writes martial arts or fantasy and even those don’t even sell well, right? It was pitiful seeing his facial expression and clothes that was so dirty at the alumni meeting.

Suhee didn’t back up. She, like him, had a sculpture face, tilted her head, and countered.

“Ah, did you not know? Jaegun is really good now. His recent three works fantasy and martials arts all printed more copies.”

“Three works… all printing more copies?”

Myung Hoon’s face had the blood sucked out of him.

Myunghoon knew the market right now of the books. His dad was a representative of a huge publisher and he was also a writer of a romance novel so he knew even though he didn’t want to know.

In this hard market, he printed more copies of 3 works.

Myung Hoon’s face was filled with distrust. It was probably a false statement to get him angry.

“I think this conversation is almost done so I’ll leave. If you don’t believe me, check on your phone. You know Jaegun’s pen name, right?”

Suhee walked one step. As she pa.s.sed Myunghoon, who was flabbergasted and was grinding his teeth, she continued.

“Jaegun now found out. How to consider for the readers in his own way. Now there’s huge expectation to see how far he could go.”

Suhee got farther clicking her boots Taptaptap. Myunghoon didn’t move until the sound couldn’t be heard. He was frozen like a statue.

‘No way…! In that short span, he wrote 3 series… and even printed more copies?!’

Myunghoon with shaking hands pulled out his phone and went to the internet.

He printed the name ‘Pyung Cheonyu’ and searched. Down came the comments from the readers.

-Ramada : Read funny;;;; I went to high school and this is work that made me find fantasy again.

-Yunlong : Please make the next book of the Modern Rankings fast. It might be hard to write 2 books per one month, but couldn’t you write 3 books in 2 months.

-Chun Dukyoung : Value is over 500% This is a work to be bought, not borrowed.

-MokMa : Buy 2 books, buy 3 books, buy 4 books, hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~

Average score was over 8 points.

With the ranking series and the new Pegelon’s Magician book, all of them were having good reviews. It wasn’t a false statement that Suhee made. In that span, Jaegun was turning into a successful writer.

“Dang it!”

BEAWEP!

Myunghoon threw his phone on the ground. And like a crazy person, he crushed it with his foot many times. He didn’t want to use a phone that searched the person he hated the most ever again.

“Ha! Ha! Ha!”

With his rough breathing, he came back to the car. He pressed the accel.

He had to meet his dad by schedule, but he was heading to his favorite bar. He was going to go crazy if he didn’t drink and hug any girl.

Tap! Tap! Tapapapap! Tap!

At that time when Myunghoon was busy struggling.

Jaegun was diligently typing in his one room without knowing the time going by.

‘Got it, as a twist, hit the head her… but even this. .h.i.t was in the plan of the main. Haha, this is funny even if I see it.’

Jaegun already finished the Modern Rankings 10 books and handed it in. He finished the Modern Rankings like the Marital Ranking in 10 books cleanly.

The thing that he was writing was the 8th book of Pegelon’s Magician that was contracted with Hetae Media. With this flow, it looked like he was going to go to about 12 – 14 books.

‘Let’s finish it and go comfortably.’

Jaegun was planning to write as much as he can before the plans this Sat.u.r.day. Because there was things that he needed to write next month.

With the money that came in from these books, he had enough money to live. He could have fun every day and have some left.

Now that he had some lenience he wanted to write the things that he wanted to write. Even as to get recognition from his father who didn’t like his writer son.

Jaegun didn’t rest a day.
