Chapter 19 – Is This Canned Food .

“Here, sit down on this mat . ”

“Ah, thank you . ”

She put the mat on the ground and sat with her knees up in the air . Jaegun said because she was still carrying a heavy bag on her back .

“Just sit comfortably and take off your bag . ”

“Ah, yes yes . ”

“Do you want cold coffee?”

“Yes, I want it please . ”

Rika came up to Somii . Somii, just then realized her existence and sat pretzel and smiled .

“Hey, you’re really cute, what’s your name?”

“Rika . ”

“Ahm, the name’s Rika? Ahah, so cute, cute, ah, I didn’t mean to talk down to you, I was just talking to Rika…”

“I know . ”

Jaegun laughed .

Somii, with a smile, rubbed Rika . Then she just went up to Somii’s leg, laid down, and acted all cute swinging her legs around .

‘She’s following her a lot . ’

Jaegun poured a cup of a coffee and with a surprised look, he gazed at Rika . Rika was following Somii more than Suhee . Like they knew each other before .

“Here . ”

“Thank you . ”

Jaegun gave the cup of cold coffee to Somii and went back to his laptop and sat down .

Maybe it was because of Somii’s visit, Jaegun felt a bit better and more comfortable looking at his screen .

‘It’s not my powers that have disappeared .

Jaegun confirmed by looking at the words he had just written .

What felt like Se Gunwoo’s skills still lingered in his brain . He could tell by looking at his writing .

Then the reason that he couldn’t write the girl’s dialogue?

he concluded that it was because he lacked the female emotion .

“Sir… did you also not have any dating experience?!’

Jaegun felt an bad feeling and was asking Sun Gunwoo in his mind .

To think it was so hard to write from a girl perspective . If he knew this would happen, he would have practiced writing romance s

Jaegun left out a sigh filled with regret while his eyes fell to the floor . Now that he lost the power to write 10,000 words per second, it was a double failure .

“Meow . ”

“Rika, where you going?”

Rika left Somii’s legs and went back into her house .

Comfortably sitting, in Rika’s both eyes, Jaegun’s and Somii’s figure were becoming clearer .

“What?!”

Jaegun cupped his palm and widened his eyes .

A feeling that wasn’t his was permeating through his brain .

That feeling went through like a power line and went through the heart .

“This, this…?!”

“…Sir,? What happened? Is it a headache?”

“No, no, wait . ”

Jaegun put one hand to his forehead and with the other stopped Somii . Somii was about to stand up . She sat back down .

‘What? What is this happy and uplifting feeling? These aren’t my emotions, this isn’t what I feel . ’

If it was a color, it was soft pink

If it was a season, it was late spring coming into summer,

The female emotions and feeling were coming clearer into one part of his head .

“Meow . ”

Jaegun turned around because of Rika’s cry .

Then Jaegun’s front face muscle convoluted .

He felt that Somii’s emotions were coming into him through Rika . It was a mysterious event that couldn’t be replicated .

‘Then… is this Somii’s mind?’

Jaegun’s chest beated fast

His heart rate was different from usual . It was running fast and lightly like a rubber ball .

Was it the feeling that Somii got when she looked at Rika . In front of a unexplainable event, Jaegun half conscious didn’t know how to move .

“Sir… Are you sure you’re okay? It is a headache, right? If you don’t have any medicine, I could …”

“No, I’m fine . ”

Straightening his posture, Jaegun went back to his notebook .

There was a reason to test this out now . He began to write the dialogue for Oh Sumin, the girl character that he couldn’t write anything for .

‘How could this be!’

After he written one line, a feeling came to him .

The dialogue was just coming to him like a noodle getting ripped . The embarrassment when he wasn’t feeling the character disappeared and was gone .

“Somii, I’m sorry but what is your age?”

Jaegun kept his gaze on the screen and asked .

With this random question, Somii was confused, but she answered right away .

“Ah, I’m now 22 . ”

“You started working as soon as you graduated . ”

“Yes, that is true . Before I graduated, I sent an application and I was lucky . ”

Jaegun with fire in his eyes typed the keyboard

The dialogue for Oh Sumin filled the screen fast .

Instead of typing words, it felt like he was mining gold from a goldmine called Somii . The work that Jaegun was doing was just revealing the expensive gold in a beautiful way,

Somii was the best model as she had just graduated from college just last year . The two girl’s age were even similar . The game character Oh Sumin was fastly getting filled with Editor Jung Somii’s emotions .

“Hoh…”

Jaegun’s ears twitched

It was small, but Somii’s sigh was heard by his ears .

He slightly turned around . Somii was raising her knees and was rubbing her legs .

Just then Jaegun realized . The hot air was filling the one room . Somii’s bare legs under her shorts were being covered in sweat .

“Ah, I’m sorry, I forgot”

Jaegun stood up like he was bounced and activated the air conditioner . Somii answered back to Jaegun who was just closing the windows .

“No, No . Writer, I’m not hot . There’s no reason for you to turn the air conditioner for me . And I was just back to go anyway . ”

Jaegun, in the middle of closing the windows, turned around with a blank stare .

Somii was carrying the bag that she put down on her back again .

“You’re, leaving?”

“Yes, you’re working so I’m sorry I was bothering you for so long . Thank you for the coffee

Somii bent her waist and apologized . Instead of bothering, she had no idea that she was saving one writer .

“Can I use the sink? I’ll clean the cup and leave . ”

“H,hey, excuse me, Somii . ”

Jaegun was so urgent that words didn’t even come out .

He couldn’t let Somii just leave . He had to keep Somii there until at least he finished the quest lines for Oh Sumin .

“It’s fine, I’ll clean it . ”

“It’s not about the cup . ”

“Yes? Then…?”

Somii with her back on the sink looked at Jaegun .

Jaegun was far back, scratching his head and thinking of what words he wanted to way .

Beep!

The phone in his pocket rang .

It was a message from Suhee .

It was a question about the how the work was going, but Jaegun knew that hidden meaning of that message . The small message contained the urgency that Suhee was feeling .

Jaegun put away the phone in his pocket and looked at Somii .

Somii was waiting for an answer with her eyes wide open .

A word that he had just thought of turned into a sentence and left through Jaegun’s mouth .

“Somii, I’m sorry but could you get canned food me . ”
