Chapter 73

The wind was really cold . The world itself was becoming cold .

But time was still moving without freezing .

One winter day .

Jaegun bought his book, Storm and Gale . He was going to see Professor Han Hesun .

“The book looks good . ”

In the quiet office, there was a warm atmosphere . Hesun examined the book .

“I like this instead of some drawing . ”

“I like it, too . ”

Jaegun answered .

Hesun opened the book . On the first page, there was one sentence in the white paper .

I offer this book to Dasul and her life .

“Who’s Dasul?”

“Ahah, yes . ”

He quickly explained to Hesun excluding the talk about Jongjin .

Hesun laughed when she heard that .

“Of course, that’s like you . An action writer . That’s good . A writer needs to feel a lot of feelings . You need to learn and feel more things and understand them”

“Yes, I know . ”

The clock was heading to 12 .

“Um, Professor, It’s lunch…”

Tap!

There was a knock noise behind Jaegun’s back . Hesun lifted her head .

“Come in . ”

3-4 people came in .

When they saw Jaegun, they froze in place .

They forgot to even greet Hesun .

“Ja, Jaegun…?”

“It’s you . It’s been a while . ”

Jaegun smiled and said .

They were his college colleagues . They had come to give a present and greet Hesun .

“Why are you all of you surprised? Sit down . ”

The people woke up at that .

And then they greeted Hesun and politely gave the gifts they brought .

“Professor, I hope good things happen to you . ”

“Thank you for helping me . ”

“It’s nothing, but I hope you like it . ”

Hesun didn’t really care for their presents .

She didn’t like the presents they gave for no reason . She told them not to bring these pointless presents so many times, but they didn’t listen . She gave up a long time ago .

“Yes, thank you . Put it on the desk . ”

Hesun said .

It was a terrible feeling . She didn’t like her students who tried to gain her respect with this .

“Aha…”

One person’s glance went to the book in Hesun’s hand .

Everyone knew .

The winner .

That’s why they were surprised from seeing Jaegun .

“You’ve heard, right?”

“Yes, yes… professor . Of course . ”

“I hope you guys read it . It’s really good . It will help your writing as well . ”

At that, the people smiled forcefully .

They were all shivering . With jealous eyes, they were glancing at Jaegun .

‘Hahaha…’

Jaegun only laughed to himself .

It was always like this .

There were only a few people like Jongjin and Suhee who didn’t become jealous .

“Don’t you have anything to say to him?”

Hesun said .

And then, they started to say congrats to Jaegun .

“Congrats . ”

“I’ll read it . ”

“I’ll buy it when I get home . ”

It was a voice of no soul .

Even they didn’t know if this soulless praise came from their heart .

“Thanks . ”

Jaegun also said . He looked at Hesun .

Hesun bitterly smiled and nodded .

“You’re leaving?”

“I think you’re busy so I will leave now . ”

He didn’t want to waste time between these jealous kids . Hesun understood this .

“Professor, you should eat . What do you want?”

“I bought a car . What do you want . ”

The colleagues started to say as Jaegun was about to leave .

Jaegun was heading towards the door .

“Ah, Jaegun . Wait . ”

Hesun clapped .

Jaegun turned around .

“Yes?”

“I almost forgot . It’s nothing, but you should give a lecture . ”

“Lect . . . ure?

“Yes, there’s an orientation . Come and give a lecture . ”

Jaegun widened his eyes .

The colleagues did too . They were more shocked then Jaegun .

One colleague was having trouble even standing up as he leaned against the desk .

“I’ll give you the money . ”

Hesun winked at him .

But Jaegun couldn’t answer back .

‘I… give a lecture?’

The orientation was not something to be taken lightly . Many people of the press came and it was a highly valued event . For some writers, this could be the making of a career .

No one who graduated from here has given a lecture yet .

If Jaegun accepted, he would be the first .

“No?”

“No, Professor . . . I’m just surprised . I’ll try my best . ”

Jaegun answered . The colleague’s eyes were shaking hard .

“Thank you for this opportunity . ”

“Yes . Let’s talk later . Go ahead . ”

Jaegun bowed and turned around . He was smiling even though he felt the jealousy from his colleagues .

A lecture offered from Professor Han Hesun . It was an amazing .
