Chapter 26: Cheer Louder
“Did you come to get a bottle of soju? I could have…”
“You’re an editor . ”
“…Yes?”
Jaegun, extending his hand, took away the bottle that Somii was holding . He was completely taken back inside, but he was saving his words because Somii might get embarrassed .
‘What year is this…’
Even though Somii was the junior, she was still an editor .
It wasn’t the 90s, he couldn’t understand that Somii was serving and he didn’t want to see it either .
Jaegun continued to take bottles away from Somii and put them close to his chest . Seeing that from far away, Assistant Manager Go was embarrassed and disconcerted and quickly ran over
“Oh, sir, sir . You can say this to one of the workers here . Don’t come and get it yourself . ”
Assistant Manager Go had no choice but to be this way in front of Jaegun .
It was a good idea not to anger or irritate a writer with good sales . It was one of the basic obligations and responsibilities .
Jaegun was just stolid . Looking calmly at the waist bent and talking Go’s face, he spoke .
“I can take Somii away, right? She’s my editor so I have things to discuss about writing . ”
“Yes, su, sure . Somii, go talk to Writer Ha . ”
Assistant Go nodded his head a couple of times and immediately backed up .
Hugging the bottles near his chest, he tapped Somii’s shoulder with his shoulder .
“Let’s go in . ”
“Yes, yes, sir . ”
Somii, still looking at the situation, reluctantly followed Jaegun . Looking at her taking off her shoes and climbing up, assistant Go wrinkled his forehead as if frustrated .
“Assistant Go . ”
“Ah, editor . ”
Assistant Go turned back with a surprised face . Tewon, who came in late because of his work, was right in front of his eyes .
“You’re here now? The traffic was bad, right?”
“I spoke about this last time, right?”

Tewon ignored Go’s question and replied .
Assistant Go blinked his two eyes as if he didn’t understand . Tewon, following his gaze to where Jaegun and Somii was sitting, continued his words .
“If you order even one more to Somii about something that isn’t work related, you should be prepared . ”
Go shuddered .
This face of the editor was unknown to a 2-year veteran like him . The person that always took care of all employees smoothly was looking down at him with cold eyes .
“Did you understand my words?”
Tewon fixed his glasses and asked for confirmation .
Assistant Go unknowingly swallowed once . He put down his burning face and answered .
“I, I understood . I’ll stop it in the future . ”
“Go do your work . ”
Assistant Go, feeling timid, turned around and went away .
Tewon still stood in that place . He was stuck in thought with both his eyes on Jaegun .
‘Should I stop today . ’
Secretly, he was planning to use this spot to talk about a sequel with Jaegun . It was because of the representative’s orders to contract with Jaegun no matter what .
But he stopped today . He wanted to respect Jaegun’s decision to participate in the Digital . He had already gotten over expectation results with the Ranking series .
‘I already mentioned a sequel so, well, I can talk about it after the contest . ’
Tewon turned his body, brooding over his personal trust about the writer Ha Jaegun . And to meet the other writers not present yet, he moved his steps to the parking lot in front of the restaurant .
“Have another drink . You can drink, right?”
“Your real name is Ha Jaegun, right? Since I’m looking at you loosely, you’re really handsome . Do you hear that you’re handsome a lot?”
Two female writers sitting next to Jaegun were tossing questions at Jaegun . Everyone’s face was red because of the drinks .
It was already 2 hours since the writer’s meeting had started .
There was no your spot or my spot .
Writers who had drunk over their limits were carrying their bottles and greeting each other . It was chaos .
And in that time, there were two conspicuous groups that were growing .
It was the group of the Ha Jaegun and the fantasy writers on the left and the Oh Myunghoon and the romance writers on the right .
‘So loud…!’
Glimpsing at the loud Jaegun’s groups, Myunghoon was grinding his teeth . From a while ago, he was discomforted .

Myunghoon came here first to lower Jaegun’s confidence .
But he failed . Jaegun was getting attention like he was getting . He could not accept that Jaegun dared to create a group as big as him .
“Writer Oh, are you going to write a romance as your sequel as well?”
The female writer next to him asked with sending a flirty look in her eyes .
Many female writers pulled by Myunghoon’s handsome and rich face haven’t left and were still around him .
“Writer Oh? Did you hear me?”
Myunghoon ignored the female writer’s question and stood up . He couldn’t end the writer’s meeting like this .
‘You’re not going to crumble on your own I see . Then I’ll personally get a broomstick and sweep you out…!’
Myunghoon in two hands held a bottle and a cup . And then with a resolute face, he started to walk towards Jaegun’s group .
“Ah, Writer Oh? You’re coming over here?”
The female writer next to Myunghoon and then went to Jaegun first saw him and said . With that sentence, Jaegun also lifted his head .
“Oh Myunghoon? You came here, too?”
“That’s what I wanted to ask, boy, I just saw you . ”
Two glances met in midair .
Both people, underneath their strong gaze, had a string of a smile .
The writer’s around them were talking to each other and saying ‘they knew each other?’, ‘they must be friends’ and other words .
“Sit here, Writer Oh . ”
“Excuse me . ”
Somii, who was sitting across from Jaegun, moved to the side to make room . Myunghoon leisurely sat down and gave the bottle to Jaegun .
“I didn’t know I would meet you here . In this place . ”
Myunghoon gave a strange emphasis on the “In this place . ”
Jaegun responded with a calm smile and took the bottle . Now there was no reason for him to be mixed up with Myunghoon’s provocations .
“I’ve heard . So you’re doing well?”
“I got lucky . How are you?
“Don’t even ask . It isn’t easy making a work in to a drama . It was a completely different world from one to ten . ”
Jaegun caught that Myunghoon was already going to take control of the atmosphere by laying out self-praise . So he didn’t say anything and smiled and drank .
Myunghoon changed the topic and asked when Jaegun didn’t show much reaction .

“That’s that, but you, you wrote a lot in a short time? The 2 StarBooks fantasy books you made, I heard they are both 10 books?”
“Yeah, It’s the time where you write well . It must have been that time . ”
“Yeah I guess; fantasy is easy to write down quickly . There’s no reason to think in depth about fantasy as well . ”
Myunghoon nodded his head as if he knew everything .
The writers around him couldn’t hide their displeasure . Jaegun, acting as their representative, shook his hand and answered .
“You haven’t written a fantasy and you don’t know how to write one . ”
Myunhoon’s face hardened slightly . Unlike the Jaegun in the past who bitterly smiled, this Jaegun countered immediately .
“Haha, I haven’t written one, of course . But isn’t it fantasy that if you make up your mind, you can write quickly?”
“No, Myunghoon . How would you know if you haven’t even written one before? Isn’t that thought a bit complacent for a writer? You are a writer?”
Instantly, Myunghoon wrinkled his nose . Jaegun was following his way of speech that he used when he was being sarcastic with others .
Jaegun shamelessly laughed and lifted the bottle up .
“You want another drink?”
“No, I have to drive . I brought my car . ”
Myunghoon, waving his hand, answered .
On his face, he was smiling barely, but inside was already completely ripped .
One solid strike was hit . It could be told by the writers around who were very quietly grinning as if they were saying you deserved it .
Sighing burning, hot breath as quietly as he could, finally Myunghoon answered .
“Yes, I am a writer . Therefore, as a writer, I am recently writing a work that has quality to not shame the name of a writer . ”
“Ahah, you are?”
Jaegun replied absentmindedly as he was pouring the person next to him a drink . Myunghoon continued saying stuff that no one asked .
“Just, at this time there is a Digital Contest . I saw the other awards so I feel like I’m going to win it pretty simply . Probably have one more one on my career . ”
Myunghoon didn’t say that it was the Digital Literary Contest . It was going to be shameful if he didn’t win .
“Think about using the effort that it takes to writing 10 books of fantasy into one book . You know that feeling because Jaegun, you and I are all language students, right? Ah, you might not know because it’s been awhile since you wrote a like an actual . ”
Noticing the mind fight between the two people, the writer’s around them all were shutting their mouths . Jaegun matched Myunghoon’s glance in the quiet air . And he stuck out his cup as if nothing happened .
“I hope you do well . ”
Jaegun had no other thoughts of uselessly talking with Myunghoon anymore .
He declined saying childish things because of petty pride and atmosphere . He could respond with the result that he put hard work and effort in to .
“Thanks, man . You sell well, too . ”
The cups met in midair like they were going to break .
Swallowing the drinks, the two people didn’t break their glance away from each till the end .
