Big Life Chapter 17

Chapter 17
Chapter 17 – Is This Canned Food .
Jaegun took the call with a nervous voice .
“Hello?”
“Is this Jaegun?”
The voice was familiar in his brain and it created a picture in his mind . He could see the woman with a beautiful smile right in front of him .
“It’s Suhee, Lee Suhee, I’m sorry I called you so unexpectedly . Are you doing well?”
The car engine sound stopped .
Jaegun walked towards the window . Across the street, there was a cloud like white car in front of him . It was a few meters long, but he could tell who the driver was .
“Hello? Jaegun?”
“I’m listening . Sorry . I’ve been fine . And you?”
“Yeah . I’m good . Fine . ”
After the times that they were apart, it felt like elementary school speaking class .
“I asked Jongjin for the number . ”
“Yes, I see . ”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t come to the meeting with the all the graduates . I hear you’re still writing books . Good work . ”
“Nah . It’s just I have nothing else I can do . ”
“Are you busy? If you’re not, can I see you for a second?”
Jaegun was about to say yes but Suhee spit out a few more words .
“I’ll be real . I contacted you because of work . I’m in a hurry so I came near your house . ”
Jaegun smiled at this .
She didn’t change at all . She was always the straightforward style who didn’t soften words .
“Sorry . Did you feel bad?”
“No . You see the end of the road and the 4th floor on the orange building . ”
“4th floor, yes, I see it, are you there . ”
“Yes, 2nd floor… wait . ”
Jaegun was terrified when he looked at the mirror . Because of the air conditioner, he didn’t have time to clean up .
His hair was spiked like a porcupine and he hadn’t shaved so his beard was growing .
“Suhee, I’m sorry but could you wait in front of my house for 5 minutes . I’ll be there . ”
“Take your time . ”
Jaegun ran into the bathroom .
As soon as he shaved, he rubbed his hair with his left hand and brushed his teeth with the right . When he was drying himself, it was perfectly 5 minutes .
“You cleaned?”

Suhee smiled at the front of the parking lot .
Jaegun, on the top of the stairs, dusted off his hair .
“You haven’t changed . How many years have it been?”
“I don’t remember . Come in . ”
“Thanks . ”
Suhee went with Jaegun in to the one room .
Jaegun asked . Suhee who was standing in the middle of the room .
“If it’s hot, should I close the windows and turn on the air conditioner?”
“No, I’m fine . Wow, you raise a cat?”
Suhee found Rika who was under the cat tower and went with a surprised face .
Rika looked at Suhee’s face, closed both her eyes and yawned .
“So cute… what’s her name?”
“Rika . ”
Suhee carefully touched Rika’s neck . Rika didn’t reject her and accepted her touch . Still looking at her surroundings, she said .
“I can tell your personality just by looking at your room . ”
“Personality?”
“You only need the things you need to live . It’s like looking at your bag during college . ”
Suhee matched Jaegun’s glance and laughed . Jaegun also laughed . His heart pounded . The room felt more lively just with Suhee’s presence .
“Yes… what’s the work?”
“Ah, I forgot . ”
Suhee moved her hand that was rubbing Rika and took out some papers from her bag .
“This is the game that our company is developing . It’s a racing game with some dating . I need a writer that could write a scenario with these girl characters . ”
“Hmmm . ”
Jaegun carefully read the papers that Suhee gave him .
Suhee was so nervous that her throat was dry . She was nervous that he would laugh at her like Myunghoon did .
“Ha . ”
At a point, Jaegun laughed .
Suhee went pale and asked .
“Why… . laugh?”
“It’s funny . ”
“What is ?”
Jaegun, with his eyes on the paper, answered while laughing .
“It is . It’s funny that a girl working at a gas station meets a racer and falls in love . It’s an idea that could easily happen . It’s good because it’s possible . It’s relatable to the public . ”
“I see…”

From Suhee came a sigh of relief . Jaegun’s laugh was a positive one .
“This next character Cha Selin is also pretty good . Of course, a girl working at a construction site isn’t likely in real life . But this is a game . If you can just save the details of the construction site, you can be persuasive enough . Hey, this is pretty good . Did you make this?”
Asking that, Jaegun was still looking at the paper .
Suhee fell in deep thought as she looked at Jaegun . There was no difference from the past Jaegun and this Jaegun . The two were overlapping .
The past was like this too .
He had no other thoughts when he was reading .
He poured hot water into ramen and started reading a book, and most likely he would eat the ramen after the water had cooled .
“I’ve finished reading it . ”
Jaegun turned his head .
Suhee swallowed once and asked .
“How is it? Can you do it?”
Jaegun wanted to ask “Why me” but he stopped .
The important thing was that Suhee acknowledged that he was a writer and a human . So he made a decision and nodded his head .
“I’ll try . I’ve done work at gas stations and construction sites . I’ll be able to write something funny
Suhee’s face brightened up at that sound .
“Thanks . The contract isn’t bad . After it’s released and gets 150%, there’s incentive and …”
“It’s fine . ”
Jaegun laughed and stopped her .
“I know you’ll take care of me . ”
“Ok…”
“When do I need to do it by?”
“That’s the problem, Could you do it in 3 days? I didn’t show it to you yet, but you need to understand the story about the game, and it is a bit time limited . ”
“3 days, I’ll do it . ”
Jaegun answered confidently .
He had the power to write 10,000 letters in an hour . In two days, the only work he needed to do was to send the Modern Ranking’s 6th book to StarBooks . He wasn’t too busy .
“I’ll hurry . ”
“Thanks . I should go then . I have a lot of work to do . ”
Suhee took her bag and stood up . There was so many things that they needed to discuss, but it would have to wait . She rubbed Rika once more and went to the front door and wore her shoes .
“I’m fine whenever, so give me a call . And let’s eat dinner sometime . ”
“Ok, Be safe . ”
Jaegun sent her away and sat in front of the notebook . Rika jumped up on his legs and took his place .
“Suhee is pretty, right?”
“Meow…!”
“That was sharp . OK . You’re the prettiest and Suhee is next in line . Fine?”

Rika acted all cute rubbing his head .
3 hours later…
Suhee pulled out her phone . She was resting in the living room with some coffee when a message came .
“I’ve sent Oh Sumin and Cha Selin’s character scenarios . Check it and message me . ”
Suhee opened her eyes wide and looked at the clock . It’s only been 3 hours but the scenario drafts were already in? It was not possible .
“That’s weird . Did I explain something weird to him? Did he write something weird?”
She had no hope or expectation of receiving it in one day . She was thinking at least one day if he was fast . Suhee quickly walked to her computer .
“I can’t believe…!”
Suhee was shocked when she opened the document . She sat with her mouth open .
It was a 32,000 letter scenario draft . There was almost no typing errors and Jaegun’s writing was short and concise showing the two character’s stories well .
Suhee calmed herself and read through the draft from beginning to end . Then she printed it for all the employees .
“This is the Oh Sumin and Cha Selin’s character scenario . Read it and give me some comments . ”
The employees all looked flabbergasted .
They had been used to Myunghoon’s extreme personality and his working style . A person like that who had just left the company in a fury today calmed himself down and finished a scenario?
“Wow, This is fun . ”
The first employee that spoke up was Hemii, who was a fast reader .
“The character is really in depth . The back story is good too . ”
Later another employee said
“The scenario, I think, took in mind the quest coins as well . The cases are all really unique, and they fit right in . ”
“Did Writer Oh get something weird? I didn’t know he could write so well . He could have done this earlier and not have made so many employees miserable .
Suhee didn’t answer and only smiled . It was confirmed . It was not her biased opinion on his writing .
At that moment, Myunghoon called . She thought ‘he’ll never be a gentleman’ as she picked up the call .
“Hello . ”
“I think I was a bit furious . I changed the scenario for Oh Sumin . Changed her job to a family restaurant, I sent it to your mail so check it over . It was hard for me work to such low standards . If you can’t say yes to this, I have no other words . Find another writer .
Was it the moment?
Myunghoon’s voice sounded a lot more arrogant than usual today for Suhee .
It didn’t take long to make a decision . Suhee hardened her mind and asked .
“Could you tell me your bank account number?”
“Bank account number? Haha, what’s that? I don’t need any contract money . I don’t live that life . Just read the draft . ”
“No, I wanted to give you your final payment . ”
“Final… payment?”
Myung Hoon’s voice lost its laughing tone .
Suhee searched up the next character that she was going to send to Jaegun and continued .
“Nexon is going to revoke its contract with Writer Oh Myunghoon . I have to give you your money because of the contract . Even if it’s for coming to this company even though you’re not a proper employee and causing toils on everyone . ”
“Su, Suhee? What are you talking…”
“I’m busy, let’s cut off . Send me the number by text . ”
Beep!
Suhee put down her phone . She turned her phone over when the call came again . The employees that had found their energy in a long time moved quickly to find their respective work to do .
