Big Life

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 .

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 .

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!
