Chapter 65 (1/2)
Chapter 65
“Yes, Writer Kang, it’s Kwon Tewon. The Demon King’s Second Coming is doing pretty well. Just keep doing it. Don’t move away from the plot. Just make the main character like this.”
“h.e.l.lo. Writer Yang, It’s Laugh Book’s s.h.i.+n Dongmi. Yes. Congrats on making your novel views going over 6000. We’re going to be releasing paid chapters next Friday.”
The two employees of Laugh Book’s were getting busy.
2 new projects came in. Kang Minho’s Demon King’s Second Coming and Yang Hyeongyung’s Slaughter.
Two projects were doing above average. The tips by Jaegun once a week was doing great.
A day in January.
Today, Jaegun was also in the office with the two. He wasn’t here to look over their writing solely either. He wrote his own paper in a leftover computer.
‘This is good once in a week to change the mood up for a while?’
Jaegun thought.
He had never written with other writers until Minho and Hyeongyung. It was a new feeling. New ideas came up in conversations.
“It’s already been 5, Writer Ha. Aren’t you hungry? Would you like to eat?”
“Yes, I’m fine. You order what you want to order.
Jaegun answered with his hands on the keyboard.
Today was a good writing day. He was going to stay for a bit longer and eat dinner and leave. It was slow because it wasn’t Se Gunwoo’s laptop, but it didn’t matter.
Beep!
A call came from an unknown number.
“h.e.l.lo.”
Jaegun answered. The words on the screen were still continuing.
-h.e.l.lo, Writer Ha Jaegun?
“Yes, Who is this?”
-This is Modern Teen Literary manager Jo Segyung.
The hand stopped.
Jaegun grabbed the phone with one hand
-h.e.l.lo? Writer Ha Jaegun?
“Yes, yes go ahead. I’m listening.
His voice was s.h.i.+vering.
His heart was pounding hard. His head was heating up.
-Congratulations. Your project for the Modern Teen Literary Contest won the award.
Jaegun sighed
He already knew since he heard the name manager.
Only one person would get the call anyway.
‘Me….!’
One person per year.
The Modern Teen Literary Contest that was so compet.i.tive. The contest that was honored by the literary world. It was the fact that he won made him silent.
“Why is Writer Ha like that? Is it bad news?”
“Shush. Quiet.”
Minho and Hyeongyung moved to another room. Jaegun didn’t realize their movements at all.
-There’s time since the actual release date. So I hope you can stay quiet until then. You’ll have to write a speech, the amount is…
The manager was talking. Jaegun tried to listen, but the words just didn’t go in his ear.
-Then I’ll call you back again.
“Yes, yes, thank you.”
Jaegun looked up at the ceiling blankly. He had no thoughts for a while. And then one girl’s face started to show up on the ceiling’s pattern.
‘I have to meet her…!’
Jaegun stood up immediately and picked up his coat. He had to give this information to that one person. If it weren’t for this person, he couldn’t have even written this novel.
“Writer Kang, Writer Yang. I’m sorry, but I have to go.”
