Chapter 59

“Again, very suspicious . ”

Assistant Lee said as she stood behind .

It was the girl’s restroom at the StarBook’s office .

Somii who was tying her hair carefully shivered slightly .

“You’re tying your hair very carefully? You always tighten it, but what’s with the hair today? I guess you have a person you want to look cute too?”

“N,no . Nothing like that . I just wanted to change it . ”

Somii answered looking at Lee’s glance in the mirror .

Lee smiled and pulled out her hands .

“Here, let me do it . ”

“Ah, thank you . ”

“This is nothing . You’re going to meet a boy you like . ”

“Really…! It’s not like that, Assistant Manager . ”

“Ok, Ok . It’s funny seeing your reactions . ”

Lee laughed as she made Somii’s hair professional . And then she pulled out some makeup from her bag .

“Look here . ”

“N, no . I’m not very good with make up…”

“I’ll just do a bit of it . Look here . ”

Somii looked .

She knew Lee’s fashion sense . And her makeup skills .

“How is it? Look at the mirror . ”

As she looked, a sigh came out .

“Wow, this is really different . There’s no mark or anything thought . ”

“There’s nothing . Go do well . ”

Lee said as she put away her make up .

Somii reddened as she answered back .

“If you say that, it’s weird . ”

“No, I’m saying to go do the contract well?”

“Yes?”

“Hahaha, so simple . ”

Lee tapped her shoulder and went out first .

Somii started to look at the mirror once again . She felt she was prettier than usual .

Her heart started to beat quickly as she thought of the person that she would meet today .

“I’ll be leaving then . ”

Somii greeted the employee as she packed up . The Editor Gyunguk asked as he looked at her .

“What is it Somii?”

“Yes? What is it?”

“It’s only 5, why are you leaving already . ”

“Ah, I said it yesterday . Today is the day with the contract with Writer . I have to go to Comic Kt and finished it . And I’ll leave there . ”

“Hm, did you?”

Gyunguk muttered .

He continued as he leaned back on his chair and folded his legs .

“Don’t use the company card on him, ok?”

“Yes…”

Somii nodded, a bit down .

Lee’s face was wrinkled at that . Her lips were mouthing Cheapo .

“It’s not only to Somii . Listen up . The business now is all about going to writers and buying food and stuff . Give me that result . Are we a food truck? I don’t know how the previous editor did it, but I don’t do that . Get it?”

“…”

“…”

There was no answer .

Gyunguk stood up, a bit furious, and raised his voice .

“Get it?!”

“Yes, yes”

“I get it . ”

A few voices came back .

Gyunguk sighed and sat back down . His face was filled with discomfort .

He looked around for someone to push his anger on and continued looking at Somii

“Come back to the office after you finish . ”

“Yes? Today?”

“Come back and leave after giving me the contract . ”

Lee lifted her head at this .

Even she didn’t know that he would be this mean

“… . Yes . ”

Somii answered gloomily .

Comic KT was in Gangnam . It was about an hour and 30 minutes from there to the office .

Today was the day that she was about to eat dinner with Jaegun…

Did she have to give up that?

“Why’s your face like that? Am I requiring too much? Let’s finish the work today . Not tomorrow . ”

“Ok I will come back then . ”

Somii put her head down and turned around .

Lee hesitated for a second, stood up, and followed Somii

“Are you ok?”

“I’m fine . ”

“Why is he like that . It’s going to be 8 when you come back . What happened to him that he’s being angry at you? He’s making me angry . ”

Somii could only bitterly smile .

She felt glad at Lee’s defense of her .

“Be good, Somii . You look pretty . ”

Lee smiled as she fixed Somii’s hair . The elevator was opening .

Somii got on .

“See you tomorrow, Assistant Manager . ”

“You too . ”

Somii headed quickly to the subway station .

As she got in the station, she luckily got on the subway right away . There weren’t too many people . Somii stood with a glum face .

‘I guess I’ll have to move it . ’

Somii looked at her dim reflection in the window .

She wore her coat for the first time . She didn’t wear jeans and wore a skirt after much thought .

Lee was right .

She did put attention to herself .

But it was fine whatever now . The dinner plan was over anyway .

She arrived at the station as she was blankly staring at the air .

Somii woke up and was surprised .

“I’m sorry . I’m leaving . Sorry . ”

Somii finally pushed away the people and left .

“Phew, I barely got off . ”

As she sighed, she looked at the clock . There were 20 minutes left to her meeting time .

‘When will I get used to subways . ;

As Somii went to the place, she looked up the background at her rural home . It was her Seoul life that she was surrounded by people but was also lonely .

She wanted to see her family and the ocean .

The Comic Kt office wasn’t that far away from the station .

Somii arrived and quickly sat down on a chair on the first floor . She was going to meet Jaegun here .

‘I guess I’ll draw . ”

Somii pulled out a pen and a notebook to draw on .

She thought about what to draw and started to draw the 2 characters of the novel that she was reading, the Breathe . A cute knight and a dragon were quickly coming up on the paper .

‘Ahaha, maybe the dragon is a bit too childishly?’

Somii laughed to herself .

She liked drawing since middle school . She got so into drawing that she didn’t even notice the presence of Jaegun .

“Ah, you draw really well . ”

“Ah, Wr, writer Ha?!”

Somii turned around quickly, very shocked .

Jaegun was slowly looking at her drawings .

“You have talent . How much do you have to draw to draw this well?”

“N, no, i was just scribbling . Writer . ”

Somii reddened and tried to close her book .

But Jaegun grabbed the book first .

“Ah? Isn’t this my novel’s characters?”

“Uhhhh…!”

“Right? It’s the Breast?”

Jaegun smiled and asked .

Somii was so embarrassed that she couldn’t answer . To that, Jaegun asked a favor .

“Give this drawing to me . ”

“Yes? Wh, where are you gonna use it?”

“I’m writing the Breathe, I’ll put it in . ”

“N, noooo… . . It’s terrible . ”

“It’s not . You will, right? Right?

She couldn’t refuse Jaegun’s two eyes .

Then Somii answered reluctantly .

“Then when I finish it…”

“This is great . ”

“This is not great . I’ll finish it . I’ll do it as fast as I can so just wait . ”

Jaegun nodded as he smiled .

It was as if the roles of them changed, she as the writer and he as the editor .

Somii stood up as she put away the notebook and the pen .

“Th, then let’s go?”

“Yes, let’s go . ”

Somii went first .

She walked fast as out of embarrassment .

Jaegun followed her quickly and asked her .

“Did you draw?”

“Ahjhhhh, writer . It’s embarrassing so don’t ask . ”

“What’s embarrassing? You draw really well . ”

Jaegun was truthful . He never learned professionally to draw, but he could see it was good .

He was also a bit roused at learning a talent of Somii .

“Just a … hobby . ”

“I don’t think it’s just a hobby?”

The two people went on the elevator .

She pressed the 8th floor, then turned away from Jaegun and answered

“I glad you compliment me but… I have no skill . I don’t have enough creativity for illustrating, I can’t direct mangas either . I gave up during college .

“Hm, I see…”

So that’s why she became an editor . Jaegun thought to not press any further, as it might be a sensitive topic .
