Big Life

Chapter 16

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 . n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m
