Chapter 76

“The announcement is coming.”

Segyung said to Jaegun.

There wasn’t music from the speaker.

Jaegun nervously nodded.

And then

The speaker broadcasted:

Announcement. In 5 minutes, on the right side of the front entrance, there will be a signing from Ha Jaegun, the winner of the 31st Modern Teen Literary Contest, for the book Storm and Gale. One more time. In 5 minutes….

“Hm? What. A signing?”

A few people in front of Jaegun stopped and was listening.

And they realized that they were in front of the signing place and looked towards him.

“Who is that? Storm and Gale?”

“I don’t know.”

“Ah, let’s go. I’m hungry,”

“Ok, what?”

The people moved away, losing interest.

Jaegun didn’t really care too much, but Segyung smiled bitterly and said to him.

“Don’t worry.”

“Ah, yes. I’m fine.”

It felt weirder like this.

Jaegun sat down and looked down. It was better than to meet the glances of the people.

The time was moving.

About 10 minutes pa.s.sed, he thought, and he looked up at the watch.

But it was only about 3 minutes.

‘I didn’t think this would happen…’

He didn’t care about how many people came. It would fine if it ended with that one person. He felt like that before this started.

But the problem was that time moved so slowly.

If this continued for a few hours with no one coming?

Seeing the glances of the people?

It was horror.

“Sign please.”

Jaegun looked up. He smiled happily.

“What’s up? I thought you had work?”

“I wanted to surprise you.”

It was Suhee. By her clothes, he could tell the coldness of the outside.

“Sign it.”

“Ah, ok.”

Jaegun signed carefully. He did it more carefully because it was Suhee. But the result was a mess.

“I’m sorry, I practiced…”

Suhee laughed as she check it.

“No, it’s cute. But you look nervous.”

“I’m a human. Ah, did you see Jongjin.”

“Oh, Jongjin. Hey.”

Suhee moved towards Jongjin. Her shoes made a sound on the ground.

Jaegun looked ahead of him. The presence of Suhee was giving him confidence.

“h.e.l.lo. We want a sign please.”

Two girls came and pulled out Storm and Gale.

About 20 years old. It was a young face.

Jaegun asked.

“Thank you. What’s your name”

“Se Gisu.”

“I’m Jung Yehin. Oh and I’m your college junior.”

“Yes?”

“I’m a student in the literary department for Myunggyung University.”

The two girls laughed, looking at each other.

Jaegun stopped his signing and looked up surprised.
