Big Life

Chapter 18

“What is this nonsense…?!”

Myunghoon with a shocked face murmured . Suhee’s name was blinking on the phone screen .

‘Why is she going so hard?’

Myunghoon was shocked .

He knew that Suhee was not the type of girl to make jokes .

Myunghoon looked like a person who lost his country for a while and looked towards the ceiling . Then he called Suhee again .

‘No answer? Seriously?’

The ringing echoed for a second and cut off .

He called again, but the result was the same .

Myunghoon grabbed his phone tightly and clasped his teeth together .

‘She got a new writer? No, no way . Dang it, I think I must have insulted her too much this time . ’

Myunghoon was going to make her frustrated for a while and give her the scenario . He had finished the scenario draft days ago, but he purposely waited to get people frustrated .

It was simple why he did this .

Suhee didn’t look at him with awe .

He wrote a paper that was considered to be turned into a drama and he had experiences with writing awards, but Suhee’s eyes looking at his still looked the same . There was no difference from now and 7 years ago .

‘Dang it!”

With some thought, Myunghoon pressed another button and called another person . After a few seconds, Nexon’s marketing team Manager Lee answered .

“Yeah, I wanted call you . ”

“What’s up, man? What just freaking happened?”

Manager Lee was Myunghoon’s high school friend .

It was because of Lee’s recommendation that he got to work here . The statement that Suhee begged him to work here was all just a hoax .

“Suhee just revoked my contract . Did something happen with the creating team?”

“That is… I think they got a new writer . ”

Myunghoon’s two eyes widened to the max .

A new writer? In just one day? In such a short time?

“Who, who? Who is it?!”

Myunghoon asked as if he was screaming . It wasn’t just about the writer, it was the fact that Suhee gave up on him and selected another writer that made him furious .

“I don’t know . They went to talk with my team leader . I’ll tell you when I know . I’m sorry but I have to go a meeting .

The call ended but Myunghoon couldn’t put down the phone from his ear .

His gaze went to a mirror on the desk . He felt like he wanted to destroy the face that looked back at him .

“AAAAHHHHHH!!”

Myunghoon screamed and shoved the mirror sideways .

Crash!

The mirror shattered into pieces and fell on the floor . The butler who was nearby heard this and ran over to him .

“Sir, sir . Are you ok?”

Myunghoon gave no answer .

The butler called the maids to clean up the mess and carefully asked Myunghoon .

“Uh, there was a call from the representative . He told you to finish the work by today 10 pm .

“I know . ”

“And there is a meeting that starts at 7 about the woman’s new work . She said that since this is the first time that she got the main role, she wanted you to com…”

Myunghoon widened his eyes and yelled .

“I know! I’m going! Am I a child?! I’ll go take a cab or a bus, but I’ll go! Stop reminding me!”

“I’m, I’m sorry, sir . ”

The maids who finished cleaning up and the butler both ran away .

Myunghoon crumpled on to the sofa and breathed loudly . Why was it so hard to get the one girl that he wanted .

…

Writer Ha, the representative gave me some mussels to give to you . This is an animal and I’ll be late because of some business, so can I drop it off myself?”

It was StarBooks’ Somii .

Jaegun put down the package he got from Starbooks and replied .

“Then I’ll be glad . As long as you’re not coming here just for this, I’m fine . ”

“No, it’s fine . I’ll give you a call *^^* . ”

Jaegun smiled . He could imagine Somii’s healthy and cheerful smile .

There is a person that just takes away your stress when you meet them . Now Somii was becoming that person to Jaegun .

“Then, let me get the new laptop out? Rika, come over her . ”

“Meow? . ”

Rika jumped off from the window where she was sitting . Jaegun explained as he opened the book .

“This is a whopping 1800 dollar laptop . It was hard writing with the old one . First, the screen was too small, if I get stuck writing, I need to search up things on the internet and that one took about 20 seconds just to load a page . ”

A silver, shining laptop showed its existence from the box . It was a 17 inch display, way bigger than Se Gunwoo’s laptop . Jaegun was smiling as he connected the adapter and turned it on .

“Did you see that Rika? It takes less than  5 seconds to boot . This is new technology, Just blink once and the main screen is up . ”

“Meow?”

“It was 1800 dollars but it’s fine . I’ll be able to cover it if I just write for one day . Now it’s a new beginning with a new laptop .

Jaegun download the Word on the screen and opened the script from Suhee . It was a quest about a Oh Sumin, a girl in the game .

“Ah, maybe it’s because I haven’t wrote in so long . I’m feeling really bad . ”

For the first in a long time, he had trouble thinking .

It was the scene that the main character and Oh Sumin were first meeting . It was a scene from the girl’s perspective, but he couldn’t get that feeling . It was hard to think .

Jaegun started by writing the dialogue that he thought of and started murmuring .

“Hm, Ahh, I’m sorry . Ah, really handsome man? Are you hurt? Wow is this your car? Your car is really good . I sort of hurt my leg when I got hit, wah, could you drive me to my house? Ahhhhhh,, Nooooooo . That’s not it . ”

He deleted what he wrote frustrated .

Maybe it was because he hadn’t wrote a dating novel, but it was really hard to write . This wasn’t a problem that could be fixed by Se Gunwoo’s skill . It was a problem of feeling .

So he changed his mind to something he could do . He moved the dialogue to the end, and started writing with the setting of the quest .

Tap! Tap! Tappapap!

It was about 2 hours of typing

‘What is this, this…?’

Jaegun shook his head and lifted his hands from the keyboard .

It felt weird . There was no problem from the words form the keyboard . But it felt that the hands couldn’t keep up with the mind .

‘It’s been about 2 hours, but i could only write this much?’

Jaegun checked the information tab . He had only written about 5000 letterers . Seeing that, his face hardened .

‘What’s wrong…?!’

The hands that wrote about 10,000 letters per hour didn’t feel right . It was because of this skill that he told her that he would send the draft by this evening .

‘Maybe it’s because of a new style that I’m not used to writing . Let me keep writing . ’

Jaegun with patience started to write again .

But it hasn’t been 30 minutes until Jaegun with a pale face leaned against his chair . He knew even without checking the information tab, he had lost the power of writing 10,000 letters per hour .

‘What is it, this…?’

With this, he had no confirmation that he could finish this by 3 pm . at this speed . Jaegun suddenly felt fear because of his thoughts .

‘Did I… did I lose my power?!’

Not writing the girl dialogue to not writing 10,000 letters per hour, maybe it was because he lost Se Gunwoo’s power . Jaegun shivered at the thought . It was a nightmare thinking of going back to his past self .

Beep!

“Ha!”

Jaegun felt the vibrations of his phone . The phone screen read Somii’s name .

“He, hello . ”

“Hey, I’m at your house, You’re probably busy I’m sorry . ”

“No,no, it’s fine . Come in . I’ll open the door . ”

“Yes . ”

Somii’s voice was bright without knowing Jaegun’s concern . Jaegun dragged himself to the  front door and opened . Somii was struggling to carry the styrofoam StarBooks box across the hallway .

Jaegun hurriedly went and took the box .

“I’m sorry . I should have gotten it . ”

“No it’s fine . It wasn’t that heavy . Then thanks, sir . ”

Somii did a 90 degree bend and turned around . Jaegun quickly talked to her .

“Come in . I’ll give you a cup of coffee . ”

“No, it’s fine . You’re busy…”

“I just can’t leave you going like this . Don’t refuse and just come in . ”

Jaegun asked again . There was the feeling of getting his energy back by talking to Somii . If he was alone for anytime longer, he felt like he was going to feel depressed .

“Then excuse me . ”

Somii took off her shoes and went up .

At that moment .

Somii and Jaegun didn’t see Rika’s two ears lighting up . One eye held Jaegun, and one eye held Somii, both were reflected in her eyes .
