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 . “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 .
