Chapter 30   – Is he asking for a battle

“Ah? Myunghoon came too?”

Hyojin, who was in the side seat, opened her eyes like a rabbit . Like Suhee, she came to congratulate Jaegun’s award . She was shocked because she knew that Jaegun’s and Myunghoon’s relationship wasn’t very good .

Myunghoon didn’t give any glance to Hyojin .

His glance was only on Suhee .

Suhee had her back straight and was looking Myunghoon back calmly .

“I, I’ll go ahead . ”

“OK . ”

Understanding the situation . Hyojin moved away .

Suhee went up to Myunghoon and started to talk .

“You must have won . ”

“How… did you know?”

“I heard from Professor Han Hesun . You’ve visited her . You entered with a pen name? I don’t know what you won, but congratulations .

Suhee pulled out her hand and looked for a handshake .

Myunghoon didn’t oblige . He stood there standing, with his two eyes on Suhee, glancing from head to toe .

Today, Suhee was exceptionally beautiful .

The coffee stocking with her gray patterned one piece that came down to the knees fit her well . Her long knotted hair was shining a bright color of dawn like it was painted .

It wasn’t too showy and plain, but it was clothing that had a slight feminine showing with riches .

She was a girl who spent money on the earring, the belt, etc . , ones that wasn’t so conspicuous . Myunghoon knew Suhee’s style .

And…

The fact that she spent extra care of her appearance today .

He knew that it wasn’t because of him that she paid closer attention to herself .

So he couldn’t bring himself to shake her hand .

“I thought you had work?”

Myunghoon put his glance to the ground and asked .

Suhee refused because of work when he asked her to meet up so he could show her something . And now they were meeting at this place .

“You have work too? Nexon had a person in the Digital Literary Contest?”

Suhee put away her hand . Pulling her bag around her shoulder, she calmly answered .

“I came to congratulate Jaegun . ”

“…!”

“He’s the scenario writer for our team . OF course i need to congratulate him . This is for work . ”

“Even you have times when you’re forcing it . ”

“It’s not forcing it . ”

Myunhoon’s phone was vibrating in his pocket .

Suhee found out before the talking Myunghoon and pointed to his pocket,

“Isn’t that a call?”

Myunghoon, with her glance on Suhee, pulled out his phone . At that moment, his facial expression froze when he saw the information . It was from his dad .

“This is important . Let’s talk later . ”

Myunghoon said with a depressed light . He couldn’t postpone or avoid his dad’s call . Myungja and his sister answered back awkwardly .

Jaegun put his head down and laughed bitterly . He knew why his family was so shocked and flustered .

“Really, congratulations . Y0ou must be happy . I’m not feeling the same happiness as you guys would be feeling, but I’m feeling very happy for him so I came to congratulate him . ”

“Ah, Really, thanks…! Thank you so much . Ah, I didn’t know Jaegun had such a pretty alumni . Ohohoho”

“Mom, it’s cold so let’s go inside . ”

Jaegun pulled his very happy and enthusiastic mom inside . He was afraid that if he didn’t end this here, it might get awkward for him and Suhee .

“That might be good . It’s almost time for the ceremony . This way, mam . ”

Suhee, as if showing her the way, went forward . The others followed .

Myungja and Jaeyn beside Jaegun was both asking in to his ear .

“It’s Lee Suhee, right? sHe’s really pretty . Her personality is pleasant and she’s polite too .

“You had a college friend like her? She has a good impression . Son, do well with that woman . ”

Jaegun knew that this would be happening . There was no adult that didn’t like suhee the first time . SHe was pretty but neat, had no greed on her face and with her manner of speech, it felt that mom and sister was already pulled in to her .

“Keep your eyes open and look at the people around you . Do you think there would be a woman like that very commonly? My mom is right . Ask her out . ”

“Take her home . Sister will make you something good . What does she like?”

“I told you to stop . Why are you like this too sister?

The hall was already filled with almost half the people . Jaegun’s group sat at the front .

‘Ha, so many people came . As if this is a good award . ’

Myunghoon snorted and remarked inside . He was sitting alone far away from Jaegun’s group . He had in his hand the speech that he made many changes to and a pen .

Suddenly, people just filled the seats .

The late people stood at the meant . And the Digital Literary Contest ceremony started with the commentators statement .

Myunghoon had no interest in anything . He didn’t care about what the commentator said or about the contest’s meaning . He was only caring about what he could say to make himself look better than Jaegun . That was his sole thought .

“…Then now, I will start the award presentation of the winner . ”

Myunghoon turned his head that the mention of the winner .

He forgot because of the anger towards Jaegun, but it was a person who got the best award . It was obvious that he was curious .

‘It must be someone with some age? Looking at the pen name, it must be a man .

When the commentator was hesitating, Myunghoon tried to guess who it was . He turned around in his seat looking . THere was so many people . It was impossible trying to find a person with a unique bright facial expression .

“The name is “A Dumb Woman”, the writer Se Gunwoo, please come forward . ”

The crowd was being loud .

At this heightening of expectations, only one person was getting up from the chair . Myunghoon almost put in hand in the air and screamed .

‘That, that guy, why is he getting up?!’

The person who was getting up was Ha Jaegun .

Jaegun was stolidly passing through his mom, sister, then Suhee’s knees to get through .

“Ja, Jaegun, where are you going . ”

“Son, what are you doing? Jaeyn, Jaegun’s the runner up?”

Everyone’s face became pale that Jaegun’s sudden movement .

Why he is standing up when it’s the winner’s announcement .

Jongjin, with a ‘this guy lost his mind’ expression, was getting up .

“Ja, Jaegun? This is announcement for the runner up…!”

Even Suhee was surprised and couldn’t help herself from saying .

Jaegun answered with a little smile and went up to the platform . His footsteps, brighter than anytime before, was ringing the floor .
