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 .
