Big Life

Chapter 71

Chapter 71

Many people came to the ceremony .

His dad and his family . As well as his friend Jongjin and Suhee .

Tewon and his wife Dongmi came as well, and Jonggu and Gyungsu from Hetae Media too .

Minho and Hyeongyung from the office gave up a day of writing to come .

“This guy actually cared about his clothes? Didn’t it get better from before?”

Jongjin whispered to Suhee beside him .

Suhee smiled and nodded .

She couldn’t get her glance off of Jaegun .

Jaegun was saying his speech up on the podium with his fancy clothes .

“This is really good, Jaegun . He looks so big even though he’s this far away . ”

“Yeah, he doesn’t feel like my friend anymore . It feels so weird . ”

“But, he’s not talking about the fantasy that he wrote?”

Suhee asked quietly .

Jongjin looked around and whispered .

“I think they wanted to keep quiet about that . Because there’s still the question of selling from the Contest side . The literary readers might feel angry . ”

“I see…”

“It will get known someday . Just not right now . I understand . ”

Suhee nodded as well .

Jaegun was concluding his speech .

“Thank you for everyone . But really, the motif for the main characters Sangjin and Heyoung deserves the most credit . The male main is one of my best friends . He came here together with me . ”

Jaegun looked towards Jongjin .

Jongjin felt emotional as he waved .

“… and someone else . She created the female main character who carried this story, so I’d like to express my thanks . She said she was busy so she couldn’t come, but I credit this book to her . Thank you . ”

From someone, the stage filled with claps of people .

Jaegun bowed his head 90 degrees .

The clapping noise didn’t know when to stop .

The cameraman took one more step .

His camera was only focused on Jaegun .

The ceremony was on the radio, the internet, and TV .

It was going up live for people with interest in literary works .

Myunghoon was one of these as well .

“That… IDIOT . He’s not saying anything…!”

His hand crumpled the empty beer can . ”

Myunghoon threw the can across the table .

And he brought another from the fridge .

“You have something . Right? You’re feeling guilty . Why can’t you say it? That you write fantasy? Are you ashamed? Of course, you should be . ”

Myunghoon muttered to himself .

He said he wouldn’t care . But he was still suddenly drinking one, two, three and more .

He turned off the TV and drank another bottle .

When he drank about half, he felt like he was going to throw up so he quickly stopped .

The beer spilled on his leg

“AHHH…!”

Myunghoon’s hands fell across the keyboard .

He had no thoughts in his blank head .

It was instinct .

-It’s the winner of Modern Teen Literary Contest . He’s actually that Pyung Cheon Yu;;;

-AH? That Ranking Series? That no meaning nonsense . I read anything but that, I really couldn’t read…

-There’s no way that should be a writer at all . To say it, fantasy shouldn’t even be writing .

-It’s nonsense for a reader who likes writing . This award to that type of writer . I’m ashamed .

-The judges should be better .

-I really feel worried about the writing of the future… .

Myunghoon wrote criticisms of Jaegun using different IDs and social media sites .

His face had a huge smile .

The drinks were greatly increasing his happiness .

‘’Can’t you say it yourself . Then I will help, as a colleague . ’

Tap! Tap! Tap1

Myunghoon didn’t know the time going past as he kept writing

His hands didn’t stop until he felt so tired .

“Ah… Ha Jaegun… Ha Jaegun…”

Myunghoon fell asleep in his chair .

His dark smile didn’t disappear after he was sleeping .

The words were huge .

Through SNS, the news went across the internet .

The write Ha Jaegun and the writer Pyung Cheon Yu, the fact that they were the same person came to many internet users .

And then…

Many things occurred .

The 5000 people that were followers of Jaegun’s twitter blew up to 50,000 . The Breath’s views went up over 10 percent .

The books, ‘A Dumb Woman . ’ and ‘90s Child . ’ was in the top 10 in many internet sites .

All in one day .

Myunghoon didn’t know that the things were happening in the opposite way of what he wanted .

‘Ughhh…’

Jaegun was dreaming

In front of him, it was completely foggy .

Just in a while, he could finally see something .

Jaegun now knew he was on the ground, which was parallel to his body . A car’s engine sound was moving farther .

He felt a rough feeling on his nose

It was a feeling of fur . He could tell it was Rika . Rika started to lick his face everywhere .

‘Rika… rika…’

His voice didn’t come

He wanted to move but he couldn’t . His body was so heavy .

He felt someone’s hands . It was a strong and heavy hand . The hand was moving his hand across his bag’s zipper . And then, he could hear footsteps moving quickly away .

‘I didn’t get to finish… it…’

His mind started to blur . At the last moment, Jaegun reached out his hand and put it on Rika’s neck . Rika was crying at the sky .

“Jaegun, Ha Jaegun . ”

“Um… ugh…”

“Hey, Jaegun, wake up . Come one . ”

Jaegun opened his eyes quickly . He could see Jongjin’s worried face . Jaegun lifted his body quickly .

“Hey, what’s up . Nightmare?”

“…Dream?”

“Yeah, dream . Look at that cold sweat . Wipe it . ”

Jongjin gave him a towel .

Jaegun sighed and looked at his body without even looking at the towel . His body was covered in sweat .

‘Only a dream…?’

It was too realistic to be a dream .

He was on the ground for no reason with Rika . He could feel that hand in his memories .

“What is it? I’m worried . ”

Jongjin asked . Jaegun slowly turned and looked at him . Moving away, his glance was looking at the house .

‘Ah, that happened… . ’

Jaegun accepted it and took the towel . It was Suhee’s apartment .

After the ceremony .

Suhee and Jongjin and him went once more . Hyojin came in, and drinks were pouring . And they went to Suhee and the 4 friends drank till the night ended .

“Hey, Ha Jaegun . You’re still drunk?”

“No, I’m not awake . But the house is quiet?”

“Suhee and Hyojin went to the mart . To give us food . About 30 minutes? They’ll be here . ”

Jonjin tapped him .

“Go and clean up . ”

“Ha, Ok . ”

Jaegun smiled and went to the bathroom . He could hear Jongjin’s voice as he closed the door .

“There’s a toothbrush and a shaver on the sink . Use that . Suhee put it out . Towels’ in the drawer . ”

“Ok . ”

Jaegun took off his clothes . It was a track suit .

It was something that his brother wore when he came, Suhee said . Jaegun opened the shower door .

‘This is good . Maybe I should get something like this . No water comes out of the tub . ’

Jaegun cleaned himself . He used the toothbrush and the shaver .

“Are you done?”

Jongjin turned around .

Jaegun stood next to him . The view from above was beautiful .

“This is great . When will I have enough for a place like this?”

Jaegun smiled at that .

He knew Suhee’s family was rich . She never said it but he could feel it .

“About 500,000 dollars?”

“More, probably . Today’s houses are crazy . ”

“Wow . Let’s see . My wage is 30,000… Save about 20,000… give me a cigarette . Are we allowed to smoke here?”

“Stop it . ”

Jaegun turned around . He didn’t get to look around the house yesterday . He toured around the house .

‘It’s like Suhee . ’

The interior was comforting and clean .

Jaegun moved around the TV and went to the next room . It was a study .
