Chapter 62
It was true that she had no confidence
It was something which could not be solved even with compliments and praises from Jaegun. Therefore, it was the kind of work that should’ve been turned down.
However, right now, Somii couldn’t do that.
Because if she accepted this job, she would form a closer relations.h.i.+p with Jaegun
To be able to see his face one more time.
In the busy crowded restaurant, there was a silence between the two people.
Looking downwards, Somii had a serious expression cast upon her face.
In the end, there was a smile on his face as Jaegun spoke.
“I’m sorry. I think I was in too much of a hurry so I don’t mind if you slowly think things through if you find it uncomfortable…”
“-I’ll do it!”
Somii said with her head raised and a determined glint in her eyes.
She spoke to him with a clear tone.
“Although I don’t have any confidence, I will try. On the way home, I’ll gather up a portfolio of art and drawings and send it to your mailbox”
He smiled brightly in happiness and stuck out his thumb.
“That’s good. Talent shouldn’t be sitting around collecting dust after all. Make me a cover, too.”
He poured some c.o.ke in a drinking gla.s.s and held up the drink in the air.
“A toast. By day, a sarcastic and witty editor but by night, an ill.u.s.trator with talent. A toast to Jung Somii. Cheers!”
“What was that for Writer Ha, Saying it so weirdly.”
“Nevermind. Drink it up. One shot.”
“What? Um… I’m not very good at these.”
“If you can’t, then you’re paying.l”
Jaegun began to chug down on his c.o.ke first.
Making a face, Somii followed and brought the cup to her lips and began to drink.
Neither of them could even manage to finish half of the cup without choking. Seeing that, they both stared at each other and laughed.
“My mood is getting better. After eating, do you want to go to the karaoke bar?”
“Karaoke? Well, I’m fine with it but will you be okay? Don’t you still have to write as well?”
“You know that I write at the speed of light. So, after this, karaoke?”
“…cool.”
Somii made circles with her fingers and bashfully replied.
There were no longer any feelings of nervousness or restlessness. Right now, this moment was priceless. Resolving herself to no longer be foolish and silly from now on, Somii finished off drinking the rest of her cola.
“Finally it’s pay day.”
After Christmas, the morning of December 27th.
With a clean, washed face, Dongmi pulled out the chair and sat in front of the computer.
Today, she had to work balancing accounts on Munpia. Munpia’s calculation period was between the last month of 28th to this month of 27th.
Tewon in fatigue was still sleeping soundly in the other room.
Dongmi, listening to Tewon’s snoring, accessed the munpia page. After entering in username and pa.s.sword, she checked the results for the novel ‘The Breathe’.
Project: The Breathe
Paid web novel purchases: 2, 681, 448
Paid web novel total sales: 268, 144, 800 won
Paid web novel sales (adjusted amount): 168, 931, 224 won
Tax: 5, 574, 730 won
Final amount paid: 163, 356, 494 won( About 160,000 dollars)
“Wow…!”
Even though she checked every day, it was still amazing.
Today’s was greater than yesterday’s and it made Dongmi shudder in excitement. And that final amount probably wasn’t even 3% of the profits of the books
This was all because of Jaegun’s writing speed
Because he was releasing 5 chapters a day, he could pull off such a wonderful result.
“This is a real record setter. And it hasn’t even been a month yet.”
‘The Breathe’ began to publish itself serially from the beginning of the month of December. If he had filled the entire month, there would be more profits.
And this was only from the munpia sales.
‘The Breathe,’ would now enter Navin Store, Cocoa page, and Yuto Books
