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.”
