As he lifted his head slightly, the girl widened her two eyes .
“Are you Writer Ha Jaegun?”
“Ah, yes, it’s right . ”
“Amazing…!”
The girl, as soon as he replied, covered her mouth with her hands .
She was smiling even thought she looked completely surprised .
“Oh my G.o.d, I was so surprised . I didn’t know from away there, but I saw you from here…! I saw that you went on Navin as well . ”
“Hahaha, yes . ”
“You’re really handsome in real life . I’m reading A Dumb Woman very well . I read it as I was leaving work yesterday and I’m almost at the end . I cried on the subway!”
The girl didn’t even care that she was working and said with her sighing voice .
Jaegun had no idea what to respond with so he could only respond with an awkward smile .
“Ah, I’m sorry . Could you sign for me?”
“Ahah, yes, of course . ”
“Thank you, thank you . Wait, I’ll bring it . ”
The girl employee looked around and went quickly to the employee lounge . And in just 30 seconds, she brought a book of A Dumb Woman and came back .
“I bought it last week . Sign it here . ”
“What’s your name?”
“Kim Ha Eun . ”
Jaegun put the book on the wall and signed it carefully
It was his second sign after Suhee .
‘Thank you . Good luck . ’
A sign that was a lot better and clearer came on the ground .
“Here . ”
“Ah… thank you . This is amazing . ”
The girl employee muttered happily .
It was a huge deal with her meeting Jaegun . It was a boring job . In a place like this where it was completely schedule, a writer that she loved came here .
“Do you come here frequently?”
“Yes, it’s the closest store . ”
“Ah, then why did I not see you… But you read really fast, ah I didn’t mean to spy . I looked while I was cleaning and you read really fast . Of course, you are a writer so you must be different too . ”
Maybe she might be about 20 .
She looked about Somii’s age and looked very enthusiastic and happy .
“I read it really well . I want to ask you so many things about writer and reading . Can I buy you coffee anytime you have time? I go home at 6 . ”
“Ahhh…”
Jaegun was sort of shocked at her aggressive and straightforwardness .
He didn’t dislike it . The girl was slightly cute and attractive with her small size . She was a good girl to look at as a girlfriend .
Jaegun didn’t make a decision right away .
A thought that he might meet her once showed up slightly, but he held off .
“If I have time, let’s do that . ”
“Thank you . Then… pen…”
The girl asked as she pulled out a paper from her pocket .
Jaegun gave her a pen . Then she wrote her own name and phone number and gave it back .
“I have to go clean the storage . I hope you contact me . Really . Thank you . ”
“Yes, thank you . ”
The girl went to the storage very happily . Jaegun felt her glance before she went in, but he ignored it .
‘Maybe I shouldn’t have taken that picture . ’
The cafe, and now the store .
Jaegun had a thought that he might have to change his bookstore from now on .
‘I should go now . ’
Jaegun took a bunch of books, including the book that he ripped, went to the clerk .
It was a store that a girl knew him . If he stayed, something complicated might happen .
‘This was the best thing today . ’
As he was riding the escalator, he pulled out a book .
It was the book that he had ripped . It had a setting of middle ages Europe, a fantasy novel with a knight fighting against a dragon .
‘A dragon is cool . With two wings, flying across the land, breaking one city easily . ’
Jaegun was holding the pen tightly now .
‘Maybe right one with that?’
He wrote the word ‘dragon . ’ And then in his head, he was thinking of new characters .
‘A knight that is abandoned by a companion who is jealous of him! In the place of the execution place, a dragon falls from the sky .
Jaegun’s two eyes lightened and he was writing down the story quickly .
The man behind him tapped his shoulder and said irritatedly .
“h.e.l.lo, could you move?”
“Ah, I’m sorry . ”
Jaegun apologized and moved over . He didn’t know that he was blocking others .
‘I’m sorry, I should go somewhere and write my story down . ’
He needed to write the story that came out before it cooled .
There was a cafe near here . But there were a lot of customers and the light was too bright .
Jaegun looked for a cafe near here and finally found one and went in .
“Come in . ”
“Could I get an Ice Americano . ”
Jaegun took the drink and went to the corner and sat down .
He drank a few sips and started to continue the story in his head .
‘The place becomes a mess after the dragon who hurt his wings falls down… . The knight worries about the civilians that might get hurt by the dragon . But then he sees . He sees the dragon that saves a little girl even though he’s dying . ’
The pen didn’t stop and moved across the paper .
Jaegun kept writing down his story across the small memo .
‘The main character understands . His companions and the others mistake the dragon as a threat . And then he breaks the curse on the wings and escapes together… That’s the intro . !’
Jaegun’s breath became fast and his heart beat very fast . It was a huge thrill .
This feeling that he had when he could think of a story that he wanted to write . This feeling is why he became a writer .
‘The main and the dragon makes a contract . The main character wanted to save the princess and the civilians while the dragon wanted to save his nest . Now, contract made!’
Jaegun made a fist above his head and smiled .
Two girls who were sitting next to him were moving seats with a pale face .
‘Now, the main character is the only one who can ride him . The dragon is so powerful that he needs a handicap . He becomes weaker by the curse or he can only use his power for about an hour a day…’
The story continued quickly .
The first book, the second book, the third book…
The story was gaining speed .
Jaegun didn’t feel the speed of time . He also didn’t feel that he was currently writing with Se Gunwoo’s pen either .
‘Ah? What time is it?’
As he lifted his head, he saw the darkness outside .
Jaegun drank the cup of coffee that the ice melted a long time ago and went outside .
‘Let’s write as soon as I get home . ’
His feet hurried .
He had no idea other than to write . He almost even missed the station because of his thought .
Beep
As he almost saw Se Gunwoo’s grave, he got a call from Dasul . It wasn’t a text and it wasn’t usual to get a call, so Jaegun thought strange as he picked up the call .
“h.e.l.lo?”
“Hey, what you doing?”
“I went to the store, and now I’m going home . ”
“Ah, did you eat? I’m not going to work today . ”
“Ah, I have to do something today . ”
Jaegun answered quickly
He had no time to answer to Dasul’s offer . He had to write today . He was going to eat a simple dinner by himself too .
“I won’t say to drink . Can’t you eat with me once?”
“I’m busy today, but I’ll meet you next week . I’ll buy it . ”
“Hmmpf, ok . Then let’s just cut off contact entirely then . Hmph . ”
“I’m sorry . But I’ll buy you something really nice . Write well, sir . ”
“Yes, you too . ”
Jaegun couldn’t go by Se Gunwoo’s grave and went closer .
He said as he looked at the grave .
Sir, I went to the bookstore . Do you know how many books I read with your gla.s.ses? Over 50 books . I’ve read for about 2 hours and I couldn’t even count how many books after the 50th one . I’ve filled over a third of my yearly reading in just today . Does this make sense?”
Jaegun cleaned up some weeds that he found and continued .
“I’ve finally found a story after reading . I’m going to go and write . It’s fantasy . It’s very fun writing fantasy . There was no one who wrote fantasy in college other than me . You can dream in this world . Dreams are good . ”
It was something that he had never said to anyone alive .
Jaegun spilled out his secrets next to Se Gunwoo’s grave .
“I’ll be going now . I’ll visit you after I finish . Have a nice night . Sir . ”
Jaegun bent his waist to say bye and went down the hill
Se Gunwoo’s grave was looking at Jaegun as he walked towards his house .
***
About 7:30 in the morning, subway 1 was always full .
‘I should come out 30 minutes earlier . ’
She had a driver’s license but no car . In addition, she didn’t have the power to maintain a car even if Somii bought it .
It was a life that she started without any of her parent’s help
Her parent’s motel was losing out to the new hotels and the situation was getting worse .
Beep!
‘Ah, who is this?’
Somii couldn’t move because she was sandwiched between the other people .
Luckily, the door opened a bit later and people went out .
Pushed by others, Somii left the train for now and looked at the phone . It was Writer Ha Jaegun .
“h.e.l.lo, Writer Ha . What’s going on in the morning?”
“Are you going to work?”
“Yes . I’m on the subway . ”
As the people left, Somii pulled herself up back on the train and answered . It was slightly less crowded now .
“Um, I made a new novel . ”
“Yes? A new novel? You’re going to make a new series?”
“Yes, It’s fantasy . I thought of it and I started writing it since we last met . I’ve sent about 3 books to email . ”
“… . !”
Somii’s two eyes became lit .
She had heard that a new novel might be hard just 2 weeks ago . How did he make 3 books in just about 2 weeks?
It was very curious to Somii how he could write this fast .
“Read it and contact me . If it’s good, I can see you today . ”
“Yes, yes, Writer . Thank you . I’ll contact you after I’m done reading . ”
“Thank you . ”
Somii immediately went to her email . The 3 books that Jaegun sent were there .
‘The t.i.tle is Dragon Rider? Is it the main character riding a dragon?’
Somii opened the novel with interest .
She left and she walked, but all her attention stayed on the novel the entire trip to work .
