Chapter 56
“Phew, I’m alive!”
Jaegun sighed .
He was about to die of exhaustion . He had just recovered his strength by drinking from Se Gunwoo’s mug .
“Now I have 150 chapters of the Breathe . Let’s rest and write 25 chapters more to 175 . ”
Jaegun lied down on the bed . Rika went on top of him . She started to lick Jaegun with her tongue .
“I’ll have to call him and say I’m gonna release 5 chapters per day . ”
Jaegun asked as he shook Rika .
He had enough . Because of Se Gunwoo’s notebook, his speed was still fast and there was no problem if he released 5 per day .
“I’ll end it about 400 chapters . About 15 books per paper book . That’s good, right? The Representative should like it too?”
Beep!
“Ah, Representative?”
Jaegun pulled his phone to his face . A message came . It wasn’t Tewon . A name called Kang Minho popped up on the screen,
“Kang Minho? Ah, Writer Kang?”
Jaegun thought of the writer that he met during the writer’s meeting . It was that person that he sat next to . The politeness of the writer who took care of him was the first thing that came up to his mind .
“What is it?”
He gave out phone numbers with Minho and a couple of other writers . But till now, there was no contact between each other . Jaegun pulled up the message on the screen with curious eyes . Hello Writer Ha, it’s Kang Minho . I congratulate you for the 1st place on the Breathe . I’m really into it as well . It’s giving me some good studying . I hope you write more like this .
It was a polite reply like the person that he was .
Jaegun replied back smiling . Yes, Writer Kang, Thank you for the contact . I’m glad you’re enjoying it . How are you?
Jaegun didn’t mention writing and asked a common question .

Every writer was different . He might be struggling to write because of some issues .
Minho replied soon . I’m sort of ok . I got an office with a few of my writer friends . I’ve been writing fantasy but it’s not going very well . I feel like I’m trying too hard to write like the popular s . And I’m been struggling for half a year .
He could imagine Minho’s face being sad .
Jaegun knew how bad it was when writing wasn’t going well . Minho was probably struggling from stress every day .
Jaegun wanted to help somewhat .
He gave a reply to Minho after a thought I’ll so could you send it to me by email? Ah really? Aren’t you busy? I’ll be honored . It’s fine . I’ll give it back soon . Yes, Writer . I hope you can give me good feedback .
Jaegun went outside to get some ramen .
He was starving because he didn’t eat anything . Minho’s message came when the ramen was readying to be eaten . I’ve sent it . Thank you . I’ll be waiting .
Jaegun went to his phone .
Minho’s fantasy draft was on the first page . The King Fallen on Earth
“Hm, the title…”
Jaegun clicked on it .
It was about 13,000 characters, good for a book .
Jaegun brought Se Gunwoo’s glasses to read faster .
“Hm, it’s fusion again . ”
The character was a king that was mighty in his fantasy world .
And then a knight came and cast a spell on him and the king got pushed out of his world . His arriving place was none other than modern Korea .
‘Isn’t it the same flow as the previous series that Writer Kang wrote? Hm…’
Jaegun read quickly .
In the middle, Jaegun started to wrinkle his face .
‘This is a serious issue!’
There was no problem with the plot . It was common and safe as well .

But the problem was… .
It was boring .
It was so boring that it almost make him sleep .
There were too many extra details and the plot lacked realism .
It didn’t make him want to read more .
If it wasn’t for Minho, he would have thrown it away a long time ago .
“Ah, ramen…!”
He had completely forgotten .
Jaegun quickly started to eat . It wasn’t too cold yet .
“Hm, how do I fix this . ”
Jaegun carefully wrote a reply back on his computer .
When he wrote, he worried that it felt too direct .
There was nothing about complimenting .
90 percent was criticizing the negatives and the things that needed to be fixed .
Jaegun turned around and asked Rika .
“Rika, is this good? What if Writer Kang feels discouraged and can’t write? ”
Rika only looked at him
Jaegun sighed and turned back . Yeah . I think it’s polite to send a direct reply . It’s the best way . ”
Jaegun sent the feedback and started to write on his own .
Rika stared at Jaegun . Rika’s two eyes were blinking as if tired .
***
The next day .

Jaegun showered in hot water and put the rice in the rice cooker . He was thinking about his menu when Minho gave a message . Thank you for the long feedback . I stayed up all night to fix the problems that you mentioned . I’m sorry but could you read it once more . And if it’s not too much, I would like to take you out for lunch sometime .
Jaegun’s face brought a smile . He stayed up all night to fix his writing . Maybe it was stupid to be worried that Minho would be discouraged .
Jaegun started to read while drinking coffee . And he felt surprised . The feedback that he sent was all in the new draft . And in just one day, it was so much better .
“Writer Kang has sense . It’s not easy to just fix with just feedback . ”
He felt that this would be good enough for the market .
There were a few negatives, but it was a vast improvement from yesterday .
But…
Jaegun was worried .
It was only the first book .
He had no idea how it would be after the 2nd book .
‘Writer Kang fell off after the 3rd book of his previous series . ’
He said that it was good during the writer’s meeting, but it really wasn’t . The good plot got destroyed by the 3 book . He forced himself to read more but it was bad .
‘Isn’t there anyone who can help him?’
Thinking about it more, he had to do something .
Jaegun pulled out his phone and called .
It was probably better to call than to message . Hello? Writer Ha? Yes, hello . Are you good to call?” Yes, yes . Of course . I’m surprised that you would call though . It’s nothing, but your writing has really gotten better than yesterday . Seriously . Really? I don’t know but you think so? I don’t say something that’s not true . But Writer Ha . Do you have this work on contract yet? Not yet . And I think I want to put this on pay per chapter as well . I want to see if a management contacts me after I release free chapters I see .
Jaegun thought the things that he wanted to say . He was thinking of Laugh Book’s and the one writer it had .
The conclusion was quick
Writer Kang Minho needed to be guided .
Tewon needed a writer .
Since he was helping, he would go to the end .
Minho wouldn’t forget this . There might be a time when he would need help too . And with this, Jaegun continued . You said you were buying lunch . Is today good?” Yes? Today?
Minho’s voice seemed surprised . Of course . Where? I’m fine . You can decide .
Jaegun continued while looking at Rika You said your place was near Guro Station right? I have a cat so I kind of want to bring and go to your office . Yes? My, my place? Re, really? If it’s not a bother . A bother . Yes, yes . Of course . All the writers here like animals . And there’s no one here other than me . Then please send me your address . I’ll be there in a short while . Yes yes . Writer . Then I’ll see you later .
Jaegun hung up and changed clothes .
Then with Rika, he opened the door and left .
