Chapter 5 – Is This Canned Food .

“Ah? Suhee . ”

Suhee whose back was facing the sun laughed awkwardly . In her hands was a pack of sushi .

“I called but you didn’t answer,”

“Ah, really? I was working so I must have not seen .

“I was going to a place for work so I was passing by, I felt like you didn’t eat yet .

Suhee slurred her words and lifted the bag . Jaegun felt awkward . He could only think of the black bean noodles that Somii and he ordered .

“Ah?”

Suhee glanced downward . Pink sneakers that weren’t there before were laid orderly there . It was a small size so it was obvious that it was a girl’s .

“You have a guest at your house . ”

At that moment that she said that .

Somii appeared in the back of Jaegun . The two girls who didn’t know each other couldn’t greet or say anything so they stood there close mouthed .

Jaegun explained to both sides .

“Ah, this is my publisher’s editor Jung Somii, and Somii, this is my college friend Lee Suhee . She’s the team leader at a game company and the game scenario I’m writing is from her as well . ”

“Ah, hello, I’m Jung Somii . ”

“…Hello . ”

Unlike Somii who greeted with a full bow, Suhee just slightly nodded her head .

“Come in . ”

“Hm . ”

Suhee took off her shoes and went in .

There were two desks and two notebooks . One was Jaegun’s and one was Somii’s . Looking at the feeling of the room, it felt like they were in there for a long time .

‘Strange . ’

Suhee didn’t understand .

Jaegun was writing the game scenario that she had given him . It was a work that she had no relationship with Somii so why are they together . Unlike the editor-writer relationship, it felt to her that it was more of a girl-boy relationship .

“Sit here . ”

Jaegun took out the legs of a folding table and said .

“Actually we ordered two bowls of black bean noodles . ”

“Ah, really? Then I might have bought this for no reason . ”

“No, it’s fine . I eat sushi well . Also one bowl is probably not enough . Do you want anything? I can call and add one . ”

“No I’m fine . I already ate . ”

Suhee lied . The sushi was also for 2 because she was going to eat with Jaegun . Now she didn’t feel like she wanted to eat with a girl that she had never met before .

“How’s work?”

“Ah, It’s going well . Only need about 2 more hours until the Oh Sumin quests are done . Since I have a editor’s eyes, the progress is going great .

Jaegun smiled as he glanced towards Somii . Suhee looked at the awkwardly smiling Somii and continued .

“Are you waiting for Jaegun’s finished work?”

“No, I already got Writer Ha’s works . ”

“Then why…?”

Instead of Somii who couldn’t answer very well, Jaegun answered .

“I asked her to give me canned food . ”

“Canned food?”

“Yeah . I’m a person that writes better with an editor, so I grabbed Somii who was planning to leave after delivering a gift .

“I see . ”

Suhee nodded her head acting unemotional and straightened her legs . The bad feeling didn’t disappear but it was awkward for her to ask further so she switched the topic .

“Next week is Professor Han Hesun’s birthday, you know?”

“Ah, it’s already next week, I know . ”

Han Hesun was the professor that taught modern novels in college . Jaegun with many other student admired her . She was a great teacher that gave it all to teach the students .

When students went with their own works outside office hours, she never rejected them . She guided them word by word with passion . So that was why many students even though they graduated still visited her .

“Are you coming? It’s Saturday night . ”“I’ll be with you until you finish the game scenario . You said that was personality type? I’ll say again, I am in a hurry . ”

“Ah, Hm… ok . ”

“You don’t like it?”

“No, no, that’s not it”

“How long will it take?”

“Hm, about 3 more hours . ”

Rika went up to Jaegun’s knees and crouched .

Jaegun caressed Rika’s neck . His glance that he just randomly threw around was being stuck on Se Gunwoo’s old laptop .

‘…Maybe?!’

A thought passed through Jaegun’s brain like lightning .

It was the urgency to finish this scenario by today that made him not think about that .

He had thought that Se Gunwoo’s powers had just went through him with his body . But now, he had felt something new with Rika: the power to share emotions .

Therefore, he hadn’t thought of that . Maybe the power to write 10,000 words was stuck in that laptop of his?

‘Maybe the machine has that power? It’s possible . The things that happened to me all made no sense . ’

Jaegun pushed his new laptop away and turned on Se Gunwoo’s laptop . Suhee asked puzzled .

“Why change? It looks very old . ”

“It thought that maybe a laptop that feels right to the hands might be better . ’

Jaegun said and moved the file to Se Gunwoo’s laptop and opened it . And he started with Suhee watching him .

Tapapapap! Tap Taptaptap! Tapapapapapapapap!

‘This is it!’

The finger couldn’t even be seen moving across the keyboard .

He could tell by typing . It was because of the computer that he was able to type so fast . It was different from the power that came through his head .

“Incredible…! Jaegun, were you always this fast?!”

Suhee was completely baffled with her mouth opened .

It was creating something from his head not something that was already written . But it was this fast .

“Just wait a second . I might be able to finish in about an hour . ”

“O, ok . ”

Jaegun did what he said . It was about 1 hour when he finished . He stood up and said to Suhee .

“Look it over and tell me . ”

Suhee with a doubt sat in Jaegun’s chair and started reading . As she got into the book, she started to smile . With a clear meaning plus humor, everything was there .

“It’s funny . ”

Suhee said with her eyes on the screen .

“This is great . You’re great . It’s been awhile since I’ve worked beside you . How could you do something this good… I saw you differently today, Jaegun . ”

“Don’t lift me up too much . ”

“I’m not . This is good . Therefore, the urgency has been cleared . Let me send this to my email .

She got up after she sent the file to her email . Jaegun finished his work so now she had work to do .

Putting on her shoes, Suhee joked .

“You really didn’t want to be with me, right? You finished this so fast . ”

“What are you talking about . It was because you looked over me that I was able to concentrate so well . You used to look over me in college as well . ”

“You speak well as always . And thanks . Ah . ”

Suhee turned around as she was about to leave .

“You’re coming? Professor’s birthday .

“Ah, Hm . ”

“Call me, ok?”

Suhee didn’t wait for him to confirm and just ended it there . Jaegun nodded . Suhee laughed for the last time and disappeared through the hallway .

“Haa . ”

Jaegun stretched, being in the room with only Rika around . Maybe it was because of the stress, but he was completely exhausted .

‘But I can’t rest here . ’

Jaegun walked with light in his eyes . He need to check something quickly . The mug cup, the glasses and the pen all went into his hand . They were all things that were with Se Gunwoo’s laptop .
