Chapter 74


His footsteps were as light and happy as his mind .


His surroundings were getting prettier and brighter .


‘Phew, I still have plenty of time . ’


Jaegun turned on the engine .


He needed to meet Dasul .


She was the person that had given him the most help . He needed to meet her today .


It would be fine if he met her earlier .


He didn’t really have anything else to do either . Jaegun called her .


-Hm, yes Writer?


With Dasul’s energetic voice, Jaegun smiled . He answered back with his phone between his head and his shoulder .


“I’m open now . Do you want to meet earlier?”


-Whatever you want . I’m at the bookstore .


“Store? Why?”


-Wow, not the best reaction . If someone heard that, they would think I’m an idiot who never reads books .


“No, not like…”


-Again, Being too serious . I came to buy your book . Haha .


“Wait, Don’t buy it . I have it right now . ”


Jaegun said looking at the book . He bought it today . It had his sign and everything .


-Come quickly . I’m at the 4th exit .


“Ok . I’ll be there in 30 minutes .


The traffic was serious .


It felt like there was crash somewhere . Jaegun was waiting impatiently, tapping his hands .


“I’m gonna be late . Is there really a crash?”


He didn’t think he would make it in 30 minutes .


Just then his phone vibrated on the passenger seat .


It was from his sister Jaeyn .


Jaegun laughed . She probably called as soon as she had gotten the book that he had sent to Suwon earlier .


“How is it? Is it good?”


Jaegun asked .


But just then, the next second . His face froze in place . He could hear Jaeyn crying voice .


“What . What is it? What happened?”


-Jaegun… . How… . !


Jaegun turned pale as he heard the following words .


The cars were driving ahead in the green light .


However, Jaegun quickly turned to the 1st lane for a u-turn .


***


‘Hahah, I’m still gonna buy one . ’


Dasul smiled like a kid and put his phone away . With her new shoes, she headed towards the store .


‘Ah, I found it . ’


She found the book between the many books . It had the banner around it that said ‘31st Modern Teen Literary Contest Winner . ’


‘It looks good . Even though he looks cuter in real life .


Dasul smiled again when she saw his picture .


She couldn't stop the laughing when she kept seeing his face . And her fingers were turning the page .


-I offer this book to Dasul and her life .


‘ . . . ?!’


The one sentence in the blank page .


Dasul looked with a shocked face in that page .


Her eyes couldn't believe it . It was her name .


The people were moving around in the store .


There were people moving behind her . Yet, with this, Dasul felt like time stopped for ther .


‘Ha… . ’


She sighed . Her body turned numb and she felt no sense at all .


And then, her two eyes turned wet .


Her lips were slowly moving up .


“Sorry, But excuse me…”


A person said to Dasul . Just then, Dasul nodded her head and moved away .


‘I’m so mad . Where is he . ’


Dasul pushed her wet eyes with her fingers and headed towards the counter .


In her hand, she held the book that made her cry .


She ignored Jaegun who told her not to buy it and went out .


‘About 30 minutes?’


She moved to a cafe . She ordered coffee and started to read .


‘Wow, this is about me from the beginning/’


Dasul fell in the story . The feeling was amazing with her as the model for the character .


Dasul’s expression changed .


She turned surprised, happy, and sad, but the pages kept turning .


She had turned into the character Heyoung .


‘Can I live like that…’


Dasul thought as she read .


It was a feeling that she had felt . When she had gotten a scarf from Jaegun .


The character in the book was surviving by herself . She hadn’t read the ending yet, but she was surviving by herself .


Dasul bitterly smiled .


She didn’t have the confidence to go for her dream like Heyoung did . As she thought of that, she didn’t want to read anymore .


She felt her relationship with Jaegun felt awkward as well .


‘He doesn’t fit with me . ’


She knew from the beginning .


A totally different person from her .


She had avoided him since .


What did she come out her to meet him for?


Because of his personality?


He listens well?


A famous and good writer?


She had no answer . A sigh came out .


Beep!


The phone vibrated .


It was from Jaegun .


Dasul coughed and took the call .


“Hm, Writer . ”


-Dasul, I’m sorry, but I can’t go .


“Why?”


“I think my dad had just been in a car crash . ”
