Chapter 16 – Is This Canned Food .


“In the resting room… Sob . ”


Suhee immediately left and went to the resting room .


Myunghoon was on the hammock . He was shaking the chair and leniently relaxing while drinking coffee . As Suhee approached, Myunghoon lifted his head and said like he was enjoying himself .


“Hey, hey, Lee Suhee . What’s up? You didn’t go get lunch?”


“I think I told you not to call me that in office?”


Suhee looked around the empty resting place and said irritated . Myunghoon got up and made a saluting gesture and answered .


“I’m sorry, ma’am . Team Leader, Lee, Su, Hee . ”


Out of her mouth came huge sigh . It was a personality that couldn’t be fixed . There was no change from her college days to now . Combined with the stress of frequent overtimes and with this, her irritation exploded .


“What’s wrong right now!?”


Suhee cut right to the point?


Myunghoon laughed and sat down . He shook the A4 paper that was ripped in his hands . It was the character design that Hyemi designed .


“That woman call Hyemi, you said she was a food and nutrition major in college? I could tell from her working . Isn’t it better to tell her that she should quit Nexon and work at a high school restaurant as a nutrition master?”


“Tell me what the issue is . ”


Suhee swallowed her anger and said . Myunghoon laughed and shook the paper in his hand roughly and answered .


“Issue? Yeah, it’s an issue that she can only design something like this . From the food type to the setting, there’s nothing I like . 20 year woman from a gas station is working part time and she meet a racer man? And falls in love? There’s a limit to this inducement . With a design as low as this, asking me to write a scenario…!”


Myunghoon shook his hand again and threw the paper randomly . The paper piece hung in the air for a second then fell onto the floor .


“It’s going to be hard to work if it’s going to be this way . ”


“Then get me a design that’s good enough . ”


Myunghoon twitched his foot and replied . Suhee’s eyes became colder by the second .


“Isn’t the problem your personality, not the design?”


“Whoa, is the team leader attacking my person?”


“…let’s stop . ”


Suhee went on her knees and picked up the pieces of paper that Myunghoon spread on the floor .


“Hyemi is an employee that I like . Without any concern to her major, she works hard and unlike someone, her personality isn’t messed up .


Myunghoon’s face, which was holding a smile the whole time, hardened . She met his eyes and continued .


“Attacking personalities? Who was the one that said about nutrition majors and quitting to go to a nutrition company? How can you forget something you said 30 seconds ago and say crazy outbursts? And from a prideful WR, IT, ER . “


“Let’s stop, Suhee . It’s about to get bad . ”


Myunghoon’s face was getting red . Suhee laughed through her nose and turned up the conditions a notch .


“Finish the draft by 3 days . There’s a schedule so we can’t be waiting like this . ”


“I can’t write anything with a trash design like this even with 30 days . ”


“Then if you can’t do it, I’ll look for a different writer . ”


Myunghoon widened both his eyes . Just for a second and he put his head to the ceiling and laughed hard . Suhee was looking at him with a confident smile on her face .


“You’re gonna look for another writer? In 3 days, he has to write 3 character scenarios and 10 guests and you think you’re gonna find something like that? It’s gonna take at least a day just to get used to the entire story”


“There could be if I look . ”


“Work is one thing, but how are you gonna find them? How are you gonna find a writer with skill like me in 3 days, recruit him, and give him the job? Ha, Team Leader Lee Suhee, I didn’t think you were a young woman who doesn’t know the world too well . ”


“If you said enough, I’ll be out . ”


Lee Suhee turned around and left . Myunghoon gazed at her back with hard eyes . If this wasn’t the office and was his house, the mug in his hand would already be thrown away and broken .


Suhee coming back to her seat, took out her phone and looked up her phone number list . She found Park Jongjin and his profile . Suhee took a breath and pressed the call button


“Hey, Lee Suhee? What’s going on? Calling me?”


“It’s been a while, you’ve been well?”


After asking Jongjin his well being, she reached out across her desk for a book . The end of her white and thin five fingers were on the writer Pyung Cheon Yu’s name .


“You’ve done a good job . Take this on the way out . ”


“Ah, You knew that I like this drink . Call me if something is wrong .


“Yes, yes, have a safe trip . ”


The delivery man left .


Jaegun looked down at Rika on her bed . Behind him was an air conditioner of the best quality .


Jaegun pointed to the air conditioner .


“Look at that Rika, that’s called an air conditioner, it’s cool right?”


“… Meow?”


“It’s July and the heat is about to come soon, but I have no concern . There is no need to have a cold shower every 30 minutes like last year . Why is that? Hehe, you’re curious? If you’re curious, I’ll tell you . It’s because of the air conditioner . ”


“Meow? Meow?”


Rika with a confused face shook her head sideways and cried . Jaegun couldn’t stand her cute gestures and hugged her .


“I have no worries anymore . This must be like that saying about success at the end of hardship . Now I can write about books I want to write now . ”


With the Martial Rankings and the Modern Rankings , the monthly money was about 5000 dollars . The Pegelon’s Magician released on Hetae Media was getting good reviews and was already printing 1500 copies . Therefore, Jonggu got to keep his general manager job .


Beep!


A call came from Jaeyn . Jaegun put Rika down and answered the phone laying down .


“Yes, sister . ”


“Are you busy? Mom says she’s gonna make you a fish dinner today . ”


“I’ve ate duck stew just yesterday . What’s with another fish stew today . ”


“A writer has to keep his stamina . It’s not like you’re doing any other exercises or anything . ”


Jaegun was suffering from constant dinner invites from his sister and mother . The house environment was so much better because of the 30,000 dollars he had given to solve the problem of the rent .


“Don’t be like that, Jaegun . Come back home, yeah? There’s no reason to be in that one room anymore .


Jaegun without answering changed his gaze . The relationship between his father and him was still pretty bad . Even though he was getting good results, he got no response from him much less an encouragement .


And there was an important problem first .


Jaegun didn’t want to leave this one room . To be exact, he didn’t want to be away from this room . He didn’t know it, but it was the place where a writer had just changed his life .


“A call’s coming in, I’ll call back . ”


“Do it quickly . ”


Jaegun cut off the phone from her sister and took the new call .


“What’s up?”


“Did you get a call?”


“What is this randomness? What call?”


“Ah, no call yet, looked in a hurry though, it’s just that Suhee called and she asked your phone number and where you lived, and I told her . Fine?”


“Suhee…? What for?”


“I don’t know, It felt like she wanted to ask you a favor, isn’t it that? That, when we had that meeting with everyone, Myunghoon said . He was writing a scenario with Suhee at Nexon . She might be tired with putting up with him and might be asking you .


“No way . ”


“Get some pride, man . You’re selling well . Anyway, call me at night, I don’t have much time left at lunchtime . I need to get some cigs and brush .


“OK . I got it . ”


Jaegun lay down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling in disbelief .


Lee Suhee…


In the college days where the future looked dim, his first love, who he had to let go of because he had nothing . He had no idea why she was looking for him now .


Beep!


Jaegun, surprised at the vibrations of the phone, sat up . A phone number that was not registered was showing up at the screen . An engine sound was getting louder across the main road outside his window .
