Chapter 64

“Wow . Minho already has 3000 views?”

The office next to Guro station .

Yang Hyeongyung was surprised as he sipped some coffee .

Minho’s new novel, The King Fallen on Earth, with 20 chapters was showing decent results .

“Awesome… this way, he’s already going to be ready for paid chapters? Ah, I need to write a draft too . ”

There were only sighs coming out

His age was 25 . He left his hometown after the military and it was a month since he got here .

It was obvious why he did . To write something great and fun and get profit and live as a writer .

That was his dream . But he didn’t even get to write a novel yet . Nothing he wrote was fun . He wrote something down, but he erased it later .

He continued that about 10 times every day . And now today, the end of the year, he couldn’t do anything either .

“Ah, fricking loser . Editor of me! Idiot! What do I write? Just someone, give me a good story! Ah, I want to go out . I don’t have money or a girl, what is this in the new year!

Hyeongyung shouted like a madman .

Just then, the door opened with the password beeping sounds . Hyeongyung didn’t look thinking it was Minho .

“Excuse me . ”

“…hm?!”

Hyeongyung was surprised at that and looked up . It was Jaegun who came in . In his hands, he had chicken and pizza . Rika was walking around him .

“I’m a person who knows Writer Kang Minho . I called him, but he said he had something to do . And then he gave me the password . ”

Jaegun explained quickly

Hyeongyung nodded in surprise and stood up . It was the first time they had met .

“Come in . My brother will come in soon . ”

“Yes, thank you . ”

Jaegun put down the food on a table .

Hyeongyung’s mouth was watering . He was poor and he really wanted to eat those luxury foods .

‘Come quickly…’

He could eat when Minho came back .

Hyeongyung wanted to just break the seal and start eating . But he suppressed that and sat down . And he clicked on the Munpia site link .

“Sigh…”

A sigh that came out of habit .

It was the Breathe with 1st place on the monitor screen . He was envious of the writers who were successful . He thought he was dumb .

“He must have gotten 200 thousand dollars just this month . ”

Jaegun looked at Hyeongyung’s monitor . When he saw him looking at his project, Jaegun looked back down with a bitter smile .

“He must be living the life, right?”

Jaegun lifted his head up again . Since it was a question, he had to respond to it .

“Who…?”

“Pyung Cheon Yu . Minho says he’s in his 20s, he must be living the life? He might be around somewhere living the nights of his days . Ah, I’m writing like this trying to get just 1000 dollars in one month . In the holidays .

Hyeongyung started word as he complained . And the draft that he had started showed up on the screen .

“Ah, this is really bleak . ”

“Your novel?”

Hyeongyung turned around as if expecting it .

“Yes, it’s fantasy, do you like it?”

“Of course . ”

“Then could you read it? I don’t’ know if it’s fun or not . ”

“Ok . ”

Jaegun sat down on the seat . Hyeongyung added .

“It’s about 15000 words . Just an intro . ”

“Hm . ”

He didn’t need the glasses because it wasn’t long .

Jaegun scrolled down and looked carefully .

‘A mess . ’

Jaegun knew before the end .

It was a story of hunters in the world of monsters . Too many plot deviations, too many characters . Who was the main?”

‘Kang Minho’s draft was good compared to this . ’

Jaegun stood up as he finished . Hyeongyung immediately asked nervously .

“How was it?”

“Hm, I think there are too many characters . ”

“Yeah? I’m writing a story with their different point of views . Like the story where many characters talk from their POV . ”

“Ah, yes . I think there’s a tendency for the novel to be too dragged because everyone says their POV from the beginning . There’s no real connection to the actual current story . ”

Hyeongyung froze .

Jaegun continued .

“I don’t think there’s a reason to introduce all the characters from the beginning . Isn’t it good to just introduce when they are needed? And just say a man for a man and a girl for a girl . I think that’s good for the story . ”

“Hm, do you? It’s a bit different from me . ”

Hyeongyung frowned . It was the critique that he had gotten from Minho . He was hoping for some good reviews, but Hyeongyung was sort of irritated with the combined stress . ”

“Are you a writer too?”

“Ah, yes . ”

“If it’s not too much, can I ask what you wrote?”

Hyeongyung asked as a challenge . He wanted to see what sort of great projects the other person wrote .

Jaegun opened his mouth, sort of embarrassed, when the door opened and Minho came in .

“Ah, Writer Ha Jaegun? Ah, Rika too . ”

“You’re here? I brought pizza and chicken, let’s eat . ”

“A? What is this?”

Hyeongyung was looking at the two of them . He didn’t remember any writer called Ha Jaegun . Maybe he had a pen name . Or a writer like him who didn’t debut yet?”

“Hyeongyung, what are you doing? Let’s eat . ”

Minho said as he took open the bag . Hyeongyung stopped and sat down on the chair .

“Thank you, writer . ”

“I’ll eat too . ”

“Yes, eat before it cools . ”

Hyeongyung was already eating before Jaegun said that . He was waiting so long for this .

Jaegun poured cups of coke and gave it to them .

“Aren’t you eating?”

“I’ve eaten . Don’t worry . But, your novel, it’s doing good . ”

“Ahaha, what . It’s all because of you . ”

“I’ll call the representative . I don’t think there’s going to be anything changed . Maybe the title . ”

“I can change that easily . Ah, I hope it goes well . If I can just do one tenth of yours, no that’s too big . Just for me to quit the convenience store job . ”

“It’s going to be good . ”

Minho’s words intensified Hyeongyung’s curiosity . What kind of writer was he talking about if saying that even one tenth was a good thing?

Hyeongyung didn’t have time to ask .

Because Minho’s next words were saying the answer

“When is the Breathe coming to Navin and Cocoa?”

“Probably about late January?”

Hyeongyung’s face turned pale . And his hand lost the grip on the cup . The coke splashed on the floor .

“Ah, I, I’m sorry . ”

Hyeongyung’s quickly tried to pick it up . He lost his cup again with his shivering hands .

“Ah, ah, no… Minho… why didn’t you tell me…!”

Hyeongyung was looking at Minho with horror and regret . After laughing, Minho nodded his head to Jaegun .

“Sorry, I wanted to surprise my brother . Now I think it worked .

“Ahah… yes . . aha ha . ”

Jaegun answered with an embarrassed laugh .

Hyeongyung wasn’t alright yet . He opened his mouth .

“Ah, ah I’m really sorry about before…I’m sorry… . . I didn’t think you would be Writer Pyung Cheon Yu . I only know the pen name . Ahaha, even if I did, I shouldn’t have said that . ”

“No, it’s nothing anyway . ”

“Hey, what did you do to Writer Ha?”

“No, it’s nothing . Really it was nothing, Writer Kang . ”

Hyeongyung lifted his head . His hunger disappeared . Surprised by his determination from his eyes, Jaegun slightly shivered at that .

“I beg you, Writer . ”

“Yes? What…?”

“Please help me . I’ll take anything . If you could tell me how to write, I will never forget this . Please . ”

Hyeongyung stood up and gave a 90 degrees bow . Jaegun who was horrified also stood up .

“Don’t do this . Ok . I’ll help you as much as you can . I can help you with the basic guideline . ”

“Re, really?”

“Yes, so just sit down . ”

“Ah, Thank you . Thank you! Thank you! Really, Thank you! Writer!”

Hyeongyung kept bowing . Jaegun couldn’t stop him .

“Just eat first . I might change my mind if you don’t . ”

“Of, of course . I’ll eat everything . ”

He was sitting in his office with no one to meet until the end of the year . As with Minho, Jaegun was a great figure to Hyeongyung as well .

‘Thank you, Writer . . ’

Minho repeated his praise . Jaegun was smiling with Rika in his arms .

In the office with only a few hours until the new year, the group with Writer Jaegun as the boss was slowing taking place .
