Big Life

Chapter 81

“I’m sorry, Dojun, I’m a bit late . ”

A manager in the 30s quickly opened the back door for him . He was waiting in the basement parking lot .

Dojun got on and laid down .

“Can you turn on the radio . ”

“Isn’t it better to get a bit of sleep while you're going?”

“If it’s too quiet . I can’t sleep . Let me listen to it as a lullaby . ”

The manager turned on the radio .

There was loud pop music coming out of the speaker . Seeing the Dojun’s wrinkled face, the manager turned down the noise .

“Is this good?”

“I think that’s fine . ”

The car went out of the parking lot .

The road was a quiet one .

The manager drove with a steady speed .

“Ah wait! Do you know Writer’s Night?”

Dojun asked as they went into a toll gate .

The manager nodded his head and answered .

“I know . It’s Writer Park’s show . The show must have started a few minutes ago . There aren't not many views, so there’s a lot of worries . ”

“Could you turn it on . ”

The manager was surprised .

It was about one year since he got this job

Dojun wasn’t a person who like shows like Writer’s Night, But he followed his orders and changed the show .

- … As the winner of the Modern Literary Teen Contest, you had a signing meeting just recently right? Do you have anything that you remember memorable?

The female’s clear voice came out .

The manager turned the volume up .

Dojun listened with his eyes closed .

I’m surprised with the amount of people here today . There’s a lot of individuals who wanted to see Pyung Cheon Yu instead of Ha Jaegun .

Yes . It means that there’s a lot of fans of your genre novels . Do you think that the readers combined?

I think so . The person who directed the signing meeting was also surprised at some individuals .

The person who is sitting outside the booth right now? Hahaha . You must have been surprised . About 1500 books got sold during that time . Storm and Gale got 300 books as well . As a newcomer, I think that’s a great result . What do you think?

I can’t say anything other than thanks to the readers

‘Hm, idiot . ’

Dojun thought .

He thought of his girlfriend who liked books and called her .

-Hm, yeah .

“Where are you?

- I finished dancing practice, and I’m at the horse . I was about to call . Are you going to Gangwon Do? Tired?

“The same as you . Chelyn, do you know a writer called Ha Jaegun?

-Ha Jaegun? What novel?

“I’ve heard it’s Storm and Gale? The winner of the Modern Literary Teen Contest?

-I’m not sure? Hm… Ha Jaegun? OH! Yeah . The writer of a Dumb Woman? I was reading it on the car, and you asked me why I was reading a book with such a stupid title .

“I think so . ”

-It’s probably right . Um, I covered in sweat . Can I call you after I shower?

“OK . ”

Dojun searched up Ha Jaegun on Navin .

His projects were coming up in the profile picture .

A Dumb Woman was also there with Storm and Gale .

‘There’s an electronic book . ’

Since his girlfriend knew him too, he was interested .

Dojun bought the book and pulled it up . But before he read the 10th line on the first page, he couldn’t resist his fatigue and fell asleep .

***

The radio was heading towards its end .

There were many people who were watching . His dad, his mom, and his sister, Suhee, Jongjin and Somii as well .

Everyone wasn’t sleeping and was listening .

All people who were close to Jaegun .

Of course, there were others .

The son of the representative of Eunsung Publishing Group and editor Myungsuk was also listening in the study .

‘And amazing person . ’

A genre writer who came out of the sky .

Taking the Digital Literary Contest and the Modern Literary Teen Contest . A star rookie .

It was Myungsuk’s thoughts .

‘It’s hard to write pure literary novels when you’re used to genre novels…’

There were others connections .

Since Storm and Gale were published with Eunsung Publishing Group’s brand Sky Sam so he was a writer that Myungsuk had an interest in .

‘Phew…’

Myungsuk drank a sip of coffee .

He couldn’t stop the pain in his head . He was worried about one thing .

A brand with a mystery/horror novel was in planning, but he didn’t have any projects to release .

‘Everyone is just…’

On Myungsuk’s desk, there were many drafts of many writers . About 20 projects .

All of them, in Myungsuk’s eyes, were trash .

‘They send this saying it’s writing, what do they think? Do they think their name is amazing? These idiots who live off of winning just a few awards . ’

Myungsuk got angry and ripped up the drafts .

The drafts that many writers took days to work on dropped on the ground in rips .

Just then, a last question from the female radio announcer came into his ear .

-When do you think we can see your next work?

-It’s in planning . Just today, no yesterday because it’s after midnight, yesterday, I thought of a story . It’s about 10 hours since then .

-I see . What is it about?

-I’m not trying to hide, but I can’t answer it because I don’t know for sure . One thing I can tell is, I think it will be a mystery novel to find out why the college girl killed herself .

‘Hm?’

Myungsuk widened his eyes .

He heard it . Jaegun said a mystery in his show .

‘A mystery…?’

Only a few seconds of disbelief .

It wasn’t impossible for a writer like Jaegun to write a mystery .

‘I don’t know, but it might be interesting to see . ’

There was a good probability that JAegun might write something good as a mystery .

Anyway, Writer’s Night ended with the ending song playing .

Myungsuk turned it off and thought to himself .

If Jaegun wrote something great as a mystery, he was going to get a contract .

It was easy for the publishing company to market such a rookie like Jaegun as well .

Costs would be decreased, and readers would love the rookie as well .

‘I’m worried about Myunghoon, but this is a business . ’

Myungsuk took his phone and added a line in tomorrow’s schedule .

It was a meeting with Writer Ha Jaegun for talks about the mystery novel
