Chapter 70
About 1 hour after that .
Hetae Media also found the news . The first person to find out was the representative .
“Now, we need to get a contract!”
He was screaming to Gyungsu and Jonggu . The two people were putting their head down .
They got screamed at by their failure at a resign . But just 10 minutes later, they were back .
“Get a contract! Get the best! Really the best!”
“The representative?! What is…?”
“Are you asking me! 15 percent!”
“Representative… . !”
Jonggu and Gyungsu couldn’t say anything .
There were 3 books that got 15 percent rate . It needed about 10000 books to sell to get a profit .
‘It’s not that bad! The situation is different . We have an electronic platform now too . We get money there, so just contract . Give him any money he wanted beforehand, too . ”
Gyungsu carefully opened his mouth .
“Um, sir… I’m not trying to be… but the Modern Teen Literary Award is way away from this genre . These readers and those readers don’t mix . So . . ack . ”
Gyungsu stopped .
Jonggu hit him from the side . Jonggu knew that Gyungsu was wrong .
The representative was saying to him now .
“Park, you know one, but not two . Don’t you know what will happen to Writer Ha? There’s going to be so many deals for him! And if he gets pride in writing a literary novel… what do we do now if he doesn’t write anything in this genre?!”
“I’m sorry . I didn’t think .
Gyungsu put his head down
The representative said in a quieter voice .
“Attend the ceremony . Make him annoyed . ”
“Yes, representative . ”
“What did you send him as a present?”
“We bought a beef set and vitamins to Suwon . ”
“Weak . Give more . Not too more, though . I think he’s trying to cut us off as he paid for the meal himself . Don’t cut that line, ok?!”
“Yes . Representative!”
“Yes, I trust you . Now go . ”
Jonggu and Gyungsu left .
The representative was scratching his head . Thinking maybe I should go the ceremony too .
***
“Phew… . ”
Myunghoon sighed as he stopped typing on the keyboard .
His three sides were covered except for his back with dividers
It was a place that Nexon gave specially to Myunghoon .
Myunghoon was going to work every single day as the game scenario writer .
He said that it would help concentration and help communication .
But of course, the main reason was Suhee .
To fix the bad relationship between them to act better and get better .
This was the main reason why Myunghoon went to this trashy place compared to his great study at home .
‘Why is it not that good . ’
Myunghoon wrinkled his face as he looked at the monitor .
The cursor was flickering as he stopped typing .
He pressed the backspace until he erased everything that he had typed so far .
‘Concentrate, come one . ’
Myunghoon wasn’t feeling very good today .
He knew why .
And he was trying not to think about it at all .
He tried to concentrate on writing the scenario for the entire morning .
He hadn’t gotten on the internet or looked at his phone at all .
“Umm… Writer Oh Myunghoon . ”
Myunghoon lifted his head .
It was employee Hemii .
Hemii shivered for a second feeling Myunghoon piercing glance .
“What is it?”
“You didn’t give us a reply . The Team Leader was asking when the draft would be done by . ”
Hemii looked like she was scared .
It was obvious .
She remembered the times that she gotten hurt by Myunghoon .
Hemii even cried during that time .
“Hmm…”
Myunghoon wondered in his head as he pressed on the shoulder .
He looked at the empty word document and said clearly .
“I’ll be there in a few seconds . ”
“Yes . ”
Hemii immediately started to turn back .
Just then, Myunghoon felt like he forgotten something and widened his eyes
“Wait, Hemii . ”
Hemii stopped turning and stayed in a sideways direction
Myunghoon stood up .
He looked down on the small Hemii and said clearly .
“I’m sorry about the things before . ”
“…yes?”
“I’m apologizing for the things I’ve done before . I get really sensitive when I’m working so I can’t take into consideration about other people very well . So I know I can be insulting and hurting . I know . I will try not to . To you and to the rest of the team . ”
“Yeah… I… I’m fine…”
Hemii reddened and muttered .
He thought so, but she really was a simple and easy girl .
Myunghoon said again thinking that .
“So I want to buy you dinner in terms of an apology . ”
“Din…ner?”
“If it’s too much, you can bring the others . But…”
Myunghoon slurred his words and looked around .
And leaned into Hemii and whispered quietly .
“I want you to know that I really want to apologize to Hemii the most . ”
“Ah, yes… ah… yes…”
Hemii was wiping away her sweat in her cheek even though it wasn’t hot at all .
To say, Myunghoon had many qualities that Hemii liked .
He was handsome, with a dandy style, and the song of the biggest publishing company in Korea .
“I’m fine… Writer Oh…”
The bad feelings were already gone .
It was already a small feeling of dislike .
Now her heart was beating like a little girl .
“I will… . Bye…”
“You too . ”
Hemii started to move towards the resting room instead of her spot .
Myunghoon laughed quietly to himself .
It was obvious she wanted to cool off .
‘It is good . There might be a time when I need her . Dumb girls are easy to control . ’
He knew how much Suhee loved her employees .
There was no reason not to be friendly with employees here .
Apologizing to Hemii was the first step .
‘I can’t do this today . ’
Myunghoon stopped even though he didn’t write anything and stood up .
And he started to move towards Suhee’s place .
“Suhee, no, Team Leader . ”
Myunghoon changed his words .
Suhee looked away from her monitor to look at Myunghoon .
She had a big smile on her face .
“Yes, Writer OH . ”
Suddenly Myunghoon felt his chest expand .
The air was coming through his chest quickly .
“Yes . ”
Suhee’s beautiful face was still smiling widely .
It wasn’t just any girl but Suhee .
She was smiling and looking at him .
He didn’t even remember how long it was since she had smiled last .
“Uh… just today, I don’t feel very good, so I might have to leave . ”
“Ah, yes?”
Suhee was answering like she was preoccupied with something on her monitor .
Myunghoon was curious about what she was looking at .
Just then, Myunghoon stopped and stood in place .
It was a feeling that a huge steel hammer hit him on the head .
A warning . That she wasn’t smiling at him .
“Then when will you give it to me by?”
Suhee was still smiling a bit when she said to him .
Myunghoon tried not to show anything as he answered slowly .
“By tomorrow . ”
“Yes, Writer Oh . Good work . ”
Suhee said very formally as she hid her face back into her monitor . ,
Myunghoon back stepped away .
‘I’m me… . ! I can go my way…!’
Myunghoon was saying to himself .
As he got on the elevator .
Myunghoon pulled out his phone and got on the internet .
It wasn’t a problem of hiding .
He needed to know why Suhee was smiling .
He entered Modern Teen Literary Contest in the search bar .
As he pressed the search bar, news started to come up .
-The winner of the 31st Modern Teen Literary Contest, Writer Ha Jaegun, is the youngest winner ever…
-Writing about the hard daily life of a worker’s life in such a sad but interesting manner…
-He had already swept the Digital Literary Contest before…
Myunghoon glared at his phone .
The feeling that he would fall was broken
He hated that smiling face on the news so much .
‘That…! THE STUPID LITERARY IDIOTS!’
Myunghoon shivered as he clinched his fists .
The fact that Ha Jaegun and Pyung Cheon Yu was the same person didn’t do anything to stop his winning .
It was a total defeat .
‘Lee Suhee… . !’
Suhee’s smiling face was still on Myunghoon’s face .
It was a cruel smile that hurt him so much .
Myunghoon started to scream as hard as he could in the elevator .
A huge roar .
