Chapter 83
How is this here…?’
In the box were Jaegun’s debut fantasy s .
The unfortunate s that got ended quickly .
The painful s that he didn’t even want to think of were discovered in his dad’s closet . contemporary romance
Jaegun opened the entrance of the box . All the books were in there .
Not just them either .
All the books, even the two series that he made before the hit Ranking series, were there . The only ones that were not there were the 90s Child and the Breathe that weren’t made into paper books .
“Ha…,”
Jaegun sighed .
Jaegun picked up his debut book with one hand .
It was obviously read . The pages had signs of a person carefully reading them .
The last page .
-Jaegun’s first project .
I don’t know why, but it got ended at the good part .
His dad’s writing filled his eyes .
Jaegun bit his lip and looked at the other books .
As he expected, all of them had his dad’s writing .
-Jaegun’s second project .
It seems like he was less stressed than the first one .
-Jaegun’s third project
It’s really good, but maybe it’s too dark for the readers?
-Jaegun’s fourth project .
Like my son, he finally uprises .
-Jaegun’s fifth project .
It’s good to hear from my son by my wife and daughter, but I don’t know if I should laugh comfortably or not .
They were books that were not published either
The drafts that he wrote in college were all there . It was the draft that he had ripped and stuffed in the trash can . The drafts that should have been ripped were taped together .
Jaegun closed his eyes and sniffed .
He tried to press down his emotions .
If any tears came out, he would feel like such an idiot for being so distance from his dad .
In the time he was pressing his emotions, he saw another one . A bank account .
Why?
“Ha… . Ha… . Ha… . . ”
Jaegun kneeled as he opened the bank account .
It was money that his dad had saved up for him
There was a memo as well .
-Gonna be given at age 30
Since the first month seven years ago, 150 dollars were inputted every month . His dad’s mind continued until just last year’s summer .
The first month of his hit novel .
Beep! Beep!
Jaeyn called him
He couldn’t pick it up, though .
The only voice that he had was a crying one .
He kneeled and put his head down on the ground . His tears flowed quickly and dripped on his dad’s study .

“Somii, are you done? Let’s go eat . ”
“Yes, Lee”
Somii turned off the monitor . She stood up, turned around and shivered slightly .
The editor was right in front of her .
“What did you say?”
“I don’t…”
“What you called Assistant Manager Lee . ”
He looked down at her .
Somii stayed silent awkwardly as she stood .
“Editor, it’s because I told her to call her by my name…”
“Is this work?”
“Yes?”
“Did you come here to work? You have to keep society rules in society . It’s easy to break the workplace . You know?”
Somii put his head down .
Thinking that Assistant Manager Lee was getting chewed out as well, she didn’t know what to do .
“I’ll keep it in mind . ”
She answered quietly .
Kyunguk laughed slightly and added looking at Somii .
“And also, are you not the bun girl today?”
Somii only stood quietly .
As the nickname grew, Kyunguk mentioned it many times to make fun of it .
It was probably Go who told him, Somii and Lee thought .
“Hey, let’s go eat, Go . ”
“Yes, editor . Let’s go . ”
Kyunguk stood up and left . And then when they couldn’t be heard, Lee went over to Somii .
“Are you ok?”
“I’m sorry, for me…”
“I’m sorry . It’s my fault . I didn’t know he would be like that . An idiot . ”
Lee said as she rubbed Somii’s back .
Somii forced a smile . If it weren’t for Lee, she would have cried .
“How’s Albap?”
“I’m fine . ”
The two people went to a restaurant and ordered . Lee said as she poured water .
“Men are idiots . Don’t worry . ”
“ . . . ”
“It’s hard, right? He’s worse on you in particular . Maybe because of the hatred for Writer Ha . He became quiet after he’s gone towards me . ”
Somii lightened up .
“The editor went for Assistant Lee?”
“Call me Lee because we’re outside . Yeah… but he asked me to eat lunch with me a lot, and he got reprimanded .
Lee continued .
“There was a time when he called at 11 . It’s so hard being an editor, so I had a drink? He asked if I can come out . Am I crazy? I rejected him . ”
Somii’s phone rang from a message
Somii brightened as she looked at her phone
It was from Jaegun .
-Writer Jang Eunyoung likes the picture . You’re eating, right? Have a nice lunch .
“It’s Writer Ha, right?”
Lee asked mischievously .
Somii brightened red and asked .
“How?”
“Look at you . You were dying of happiness . Dying . What is it?”
“Ah, just that he liked the picture . ”
Lee was the only one in StarBooks who knew about Somii’s other job .
Also, Somii only knew that Lee worked at another place on the weekends .
“Yeah . Earn while you’re earning . It’s not like it’s hurting you . ”
The food came out .
Lee quickly tried to mix the rice together .
Somii before eating sent a reply to Jaegun .
She revised it many times because she was worried that it might be a bit too much .
-It’s all because of you, Writer Ha ^^ You should eat lunch well and be careful of the cold . Contact me anytime you have anything going on . Fighting!
