Chapter 68


“Looks good?”


Jaegun said as he saw the necklace . It was a thin, flower-shaped gold necklace . There was a small diamond in the middle .


“I think your neck is pretty, so it fits very well, ma’am . Try it on . ”


The girl employee offered with a bright voice .


Dasul hesitated and held it up to her neck .


“Wow, it’s really good . You can try it on . ”


“I think it’s good like this . ”


“Then look closer . Here, a mirror . ”


The girl quickly gave a mirror .


Dasul looked at her neck through the mirror . And a small smile appeared on her face


“You like it?”


Jaegun read her expression .


Dasul didn’t answer .


“There’s no rush . There’s many, so just look slowly . ”


“No, I like this but…”


Dasul slurred her words .


Jaegun knew why Dasul was hesitating . She was worried about the price . The price was 649 dollars .


Not a small amount .


“Give it to me . ”


Jaegun said to the employee .


There was no reason to spend more time if she liked it .


Dasul swallowed awkwardly .


“Thank you . I will pack it for you . You can pay over here . ”


Jaegun paid with a card . The girl packed the necklace in a small bag .


“Thank you . Have a nice day . ”


Jaegun and Dasul left the store .


A few people were walking by drunk .


Jaegun put his back to them as if protecting Dasul and pulled out the bag .


“Here . It fits into the jumper pocket . ”


“I don’t think I can take it . It’s expensive . ”


“Don’t worry . ”


Jaegun put the bag into her pocket .


He stretched as he walked on .


“I don’t think we can eat heavy stuff . How about going to a beer pub and getting some cream beer?”


“I’m fine with anything . ”


Dasul answered quietly . Her hand held the bag in her pocket tightly .


“Your voice became so calm . I wonder why?”


Jaegun asked as if teasing .


Dasul looked up . And with a red face, she held Jaegun’s arm .


“Don’t tease me and let’s go quickly . ”


The two people walked like a couple with their arms clung together . Dasul asked .


“Why did you buy it for me anyway?”


“You told me to buy you one . ”


“But you brought out the topic first . Why don’t you do one . ”


He couldn’t say that her neck looked too pretty so he wanted to buy her one .


And then he answered after looking at a pub .


“I just wanted to repay you and you just didn’t have anything… so yeah . ”


Dasul looked dumbfounded .


“What is that? Then I don’t have a ring, and a bracelet, and other? You’re going to buy me everything?”


“Really? Let’s go then . ”


Jaegun turned around quickly . Dasul, surprised, hit Jaegun’s back lightly .


“Joking, just joking . Let’s go . How’s that? It looked good . ”


“Let’s go . ”


The two people sat opposite of them .


It was a small store . There was jazz coming out the speakers . Jaegun liked the quiet mood .


They were full so they just order a cream beer .


Dasul pulled out the necklace before drinking .


“Can I try it now?”


“It’s yours, Why ask me?”


“Haha, yes . ”


Dasul laughed playfully and pulled it out . She took off her jumper and tried it on .


“How is it?”


“It looks good . ”


“So enthusiast . But can you buy me this? Didn’t you spend your month’s money into this?”


“I bought this with the money I got . ”


“How much is it? 1000 dollars? No, too small . 3000 dollars?”


“30000 dollars .


“…!”


Dasul opened her mouth . Her two eyes were in surprise .


“30,000 dollars? In prize money?”


“Yes, so there’s no worry . ”


“Haha, you should have said it first . Worry? No . I would have bought more . ”


“Haha . ”


Jaegun laughed . Dasul also laughed .


JANG!


The two people cheered .


“Tell me now?”


“What?”


“Your name . Tell me because you got 30,000 dollars because of me . ”


“Ha, Jaegun . ”


Jaegun answered immediately . There was no reason to hide his name . ”


“Ha Jaegun? I don’t know about books too much . Are you famous? A person who comes up on the internet?”


“I don’t know if I’m famous . I should come up, though . ”


“Yeah? Then I’ll search it right now . ”


Dasul looked at Navin . She typed in the name and widened her eyes .


“Wow, auto fill-in? I put Ha and J and it came up . ”


And she pulled up Jaegun’s profile .


She couldn’t close her mouth alternating looking between the real Jaegun and the profile Jaegun .


“Wow! Wow! There’s a star in front of me!”


“What star . There’s nothing there . ”


“I don’t know but that’s great . Wow, I’m your fan now . Your picture went great too . You picked this?”


“It was a picture that Navin took for my interview . I accepted . I don’t take pictures too much . ”


“Wow… You have a twitter?”


“I made one . I don’t really use it . ”


“You have 5000 followers? Wow . There are so many fans . A Dumb Woman? Is that the title? Child of the 90s?”


“Stop looking . ”


Jaegun tried to stop her to no avail .


Dasul was looking with surprise


“I want to read it too . I think I’m going to read because of you . ”


“I’ll buy you one . ”


“I’m going to buy one, you know?”


She pulled out her tongue . Jaegun smiled and sipped a drink .


“What’s the story of this novel?”


“Hm… read it when it comes out . ”


“Just tell me . I’m curious . Hm? Hm?”


Dasul repeated and moved next to Jaegun .


And she put her legs on Jaegun’s thigh and smiled .


“There’s a wall, so it’s hidden from view . No one can see, ok?”


“OK . ”


“Tell me . Now . I want to know the plot of the 30,000 dollar story . ”


Dasul repeated . The beer glass almost fell .


“It was a story about a guy at work with a karaoke helper dating .


He opened his mouth as he pressed on Dasul’s knee .


Dasul shivered as he touched her knee .


It was a strange feeling .


It was different when she first touched him .


“The girl isn’t as young as you . She’s in her 30s and has a kid . She’s a hardworking woman who got divorced . ”


“Go…on . ”


“The man goes to the karaoke bar to relieve stress . And meets the girl . The man is attracted to the girl immediately . The girl sees only a customer out of the many customers she sees . Ah, we’re done . Give us two more drinks . ”


“Yes, sir”


Dasul was entranced by Jaegun’s story .


“They start a weird relationship . They both live differently . The man lives diligently and tries to keep morals, but he also takes in stress from society . The girl has a different personality . She works as a karaoke helper to live, but she keeps her pride and lives . Recklessly . Like a storm and gale . ”


Jaegun added awkwardly .


“So the title is like that . ”


“Storm and Gale? Why did you make it?”


“The helper who is like a wind . Like that?”


“Wow…! Amazing . The title is really trash . ”


“I think so too . I can’t make a title . I don’t know if the company might ask me to change the title . ”


“You should . It’s going to bomb if you don’t . ”


“Haha . ”


Jaegun laughed . Dasul looked down at her necklace .


She muttered .


“You were really a great person . I thought you were a weird person . You came in and said you wanted an interview . ”


“You helped me . ”


“How does the story go . ”


Dasul asked .


She wondered how the story would end .


“You really read that . ”


“Tell me . Hm? Hn?”


“They get happy . ”


“Wowwww . ”


“They know what they really want . And they get happy . That’s it . ”


Jaegun lifted his cup .


Dasul gave up and lifted her cup too .


Jaegun thought of her as he drank . If she could get happy like the female main character .


“Why did you become so blank?”


“No, just… dizzy . ”


Dasul put her head on Jaegun’s shoulder .


A warm temperature could be felt .


Jaegun made a good angle to put her head on .


Dasul smiled . She thought he was a warm person . There was no way that this person’s writing would be bad .


“Do you think we should stand up?”


“No, I just have to be like this for a second . ”


Jaegun sipped the beer alone . The customers had already left and the store was quiet .


The night crept on .


TL- I think Storm and Gale have some kind of meaning of being like emotionally unstable in Korean terms . It was the closest thing I thought of .
