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 .
