Chapter 55

“This is good, right?”

Assistant Manager Lee asked as she left . Somii put away the cash and nodded .

“Yes, I haven’t eaten fish in a long time . Thanks to Assistant Manager Lee, I got lunch . ”

“Just call me informally, ahh it’s so cold . ”

Lee straightened her clothes . Unlike her, Somii didn’t show that she was cold .

“I guess you’re not cold?”

“I’m from Donghae . This is nothing . ”

“It’s cold there?”

“No, the wind is strong . The temperature is greater though . Ah, do you want to go into a cafe?”

“Sure, there’s a lot of time . ”

The two people got something to drink . Instead of Lee who was preparing to take her card out, Somii gave her card to the employee .

“Why? Let’s pay separately . ”

“It’s the stocking repayment . ”

“You remember that?”

“Of course . I borrowed it, so I have to repay it . ”

“Ok, I get it, thanks . ”

The two people went inside, instead of sitting near the windows . Lee said as she rubbed her fingers on the hot drink .

“It’s already been one year since you came . ”

“It’s been fast . ”

“How is it? Editor . ”

“It’s good, It’s fun . ”

“What? Fun? Ahahaha . ”

Lee did a throwing gesture and Somii laughed .

“Not fun to you?”

“Is that a joke? It’s definitely not fun . It just hurts when you say stuff and the work is unlimited . There’s nothing that shows you did good . ”

Lee continued with a little sad face .

“Maybe if I get a boyfriend . Why is there no one good around me . I don’t even want much . ”

“You want to marry?”

“I’ll have to see . I’m not in a hurry . The world is like that . I’m only 32 so it’s not that late . Right?”

“I think so too . ”

“But my family is in a hurry . So get a date . I feel I’m gonna die when I go there . ”

“Hahaha . ”

“Funny? This is a pain . If you don’t have a boy, they say go meet one, and then when you get a boy, they say get married . And then when you get married, they say get a child . ”

Lee poured out the stories in her heart as she looked outside .

“Really, I got a bit hurt by my last boyfriend . ”

“Last… boyfriend?”

“About 2 years ago . It was good . He was humorous and romantic . Generous too . But it wasn’t good enough . ”

Lee asked with a wink

“Guess his job . ”

“Hm, I don’t know… I’m not good at these . ”

Somii rubbed her hand together . Lee laughed and told her .

“Writer . ”

“Writer?”

“Why are you surprised when you’re an editor? It’s the people we meet the most after our employees . ”

“I didn’t know . StarBooks?”

“Secret . When you get one, you’ll know how they are . There are a lot of good writers, but there’s also a lot of bad ones . There’s also something weird every time . ”

As she was listening .

Somii was thinking about Jaegun . Then his smile of the summer came up as well . And to that, she smiled happily .

“Ah? Somii, what is it?”

“…what?”

Somii asked as she woke up . Lee was tilting her head .

“You were smiling on your own . You have a person you like? Right?”

“N, nooo . Nothing like that…”

“What is it . Who? Tell me, hm?”

Beeep!

The phone rang at that time

Somii got the phone and asked for apologies .

“It’s Writer Ha . I asked him to call me for the Modern Ranking contract . ”

“Go ahead . ”

Somii took the call .

“Yes, hello Writer Ha . ”

“Hello, did you eat?”

“I just ate . What about you, Writer Ha?”

“I just woke up . I called as soon as I saw your message . About the contract . I’m fine with whenever so you make the time . ”

“Ok, then how’s between next Monday and Wednesday . ”

“Ok, that’s good . ”

Somii didn’t have anything to say and she felt a bit sad . It was a while since she had talked to him . She didn’t want to end without asking how he was so she continued .

“Writer Ha, has anything happened?”

“No, it’s the same . I just wrote and ate . What about you?”

“The same . Except the fact that I couldn’t read your writing as soon as it came out . ”

“Thank you even though that’s not true . Oh, but I didn’t tell you about my new book . It’s for Munpia . ”

“New book?!”

Somii’s eyes widened . She continued after seeing Lee’s glance of curiosity .

“Is it Dragon Rider?”

“Yes, but the title is changed . It’s called the Breathe . Search it up . I thought you knew . Don’t you go to Munpia to get new writer?”

“Ahaha… yes . But I was in romance for now so . There’s not many people here so I’m sorry . ”

“What is there to be sorry about . Just give me feedback later . Your feedback is very important to me as well . ”

“Yes, I’m do so . I’ll read it today .

“Thank you, and Somii, would you like to have dinner next week? I want to buy you something great . ”

“Ah, really?”

Somii smiled widely . She nodded to the nonexistent Jaegun and answered cheerfully .

“Of course, Writer . I’ll get the schedule and call you back . Eat well . ”

“You too . ”

Somii hung up with a smiling face .

Lee asked immediately .

“What? A new novel?”

“Yes, pay per chapter . It’s the Dragon Rider . But a different title . ”

“Yeah? But is it that bad? Why did nobody say anything?”

Lee went into Munpia .

“What’s the title?”

“The Breathe . ”

“The Breathe? Let’s see… Hm?!”

Lee pulled her phone closer to her face . It was a face that was in disbelief .

It brought curiosity to Somii .

“What is it? Assistant Manager Lee?”

“No, no, there’s nothing to search for . Look . ”

Somii got the phone from her . And like her, she lost her breath as soon as she saw the screen .

‘It’s … first?!’

Her glance couldn’t move away from Pyung Cheon Yu’s new novel, ‘The Breathe,’ It had twice as big of a size as the other novels . It was the power of the number 1 novel .

“If it’s number 1 on Munpia, that’s amazing . How many views?”

“Wait, wait, let’s look together . ”

Somii put down the phone so Lee could see it and touched the screen . When the page came out, the two people opened their mouth and looked at each other .

“That’s amazing… Somii… . !”

It wasn’t an over exaggeration .

A chapter’s payment values were almost up to 15,000 . There were 41 books as well .

“Looking at the date, it’s 2 books per day? Wait, then let’s see . 30 dollars per day . If you include Munpia, it’s 63 dollars per 10,000 views? And then multiply by 30 is 1890, takeoff 30 percent and 1330 dollars! In one day!”

Lee couldn’t contain herself .

“I told you . This was going for success as soon as I read it . How could the new editor and Go miss something like this?”

“It’s amazing, Writer Ha . ”

“Not just amazing! This is only Munpia . A month with 40,000 dollars . And then there’s the other companies . Navin and Cocoa come in and we have no idea how much it is . Wow, Writer Ha must be happy . So happy!”

Somii was just nodding her head .

She knew it would be good, but to be this good .

It was 3 times the 2nd rated book .

“You can see this kind of writer, right?”

“Yes?”

Lee laughed at the surprised Somii

“As we say it, he’s perfect? He’s a good person when I saw him at the writer’s meeting . He gets money . And finally …”

Lee pointed at Somii’s chest .

“You have Writer Ha inside of you . ”

“Wh, what? No . ”

With a red face, Somii refuted back . But Lee didn’t budge .

“I know . Your call . You were smiling all over the place?”

“No, no . You’re not right . Just Writer Ha was my personal writer and I met him a couple of times . We had stuff together so we are a bit closer than other writers . That’s only it . ”

“Ok, ok I get it . Now just drink coffee . It’s gonna cool . ”

Lee smiled and took a sip .

Somii fanned her face to cool her rising temperature .

It was going to be a while to get her heart back to its regular beating speed .
