Chapter 53 – Follow Me If You Can


“Phew… . !”


It was Friday afternoon, one week later .


Dongmi was drinking coffee . She went out on vandera to calm herself .


The Breathe’s paid chapters were up today .


“I’m not gonna look . I’ll check tomorrow . ”


Dongmi muttered and tried to calm herself .


1-25 was free then from 26-100, it was going to be 10 cents per chapter .


It was the first day so she updated 5 chapters .


It was now 37 chapters and the book was now up to the market .


“Ahah is there nothing to do? I finished cleaning . I ate . ”


Dongmi started to look for things to do . But there was nothing .


So she turned on the TV and started to watch a hero movie from Hollywood .


“Not funny…”


The movie wasn’t fun for her . Usually it would be but not now . She turned off the TV and sat at the computer . She was just about to kill time .


“Ohew, only an hour passed?”


Donmi sighed as she looked at the time . The time went by very slowly .


“AH no . It’s not gonna not go up if I look at it . ”


She couldn’t wait anymore


She opened up the page where the Breathe was showing up .


And she opened her eyes .


“How… . !”


Dongmi put her hands to her mouth . Her two eyes were holding the page in surprised eyes .


“One hour… 3000?!”


All of them were over 3000 already . The chapters that were free and became paid were over 1000 too .


‘This rate… it’s about to be 10,000 in a day!’


10,000 was amazing . Even if the market was better, it was still the market that had many books that stayed in the tens instead of the hundreds in paid numbers .


If money was given to Munpia, there were about 630 dollars of money . It was 5 chapters, so it was about 3150 dollars of money . This was 3:7 with LaughBooks and Jaegun .


“Amazing! This is going to be amazing!”


There were talks about releasing two chapters per day . The increased chapters will lead to increased profit .


Dongmi’s didn’t stop smiling .


‘Is this going to be on the top list soon?’


It seemed very likely .


The best novels were determined by the sales in 24 hours . It took 3000 views in just an hour so there were plenty of chances to be first .


“Ah, Writer Ha . Thank you so much . I’ll make you a feast sometime soon . ”


Dongmi looked at the monitor and muttered to herself . Her husband who had made such a close connection with such a great writer suddenly seemed great .


***


At the same time


Tewon stopped the car and went out .


It was an old building in front of him . A middle-aged man standing near the entrance came over .


“Long time no see, editor . No, Representative Kwon?”


“Yes, you did well too? President Park?”


The two people shook hands .


This person was the storage’s owner .


It was Tewon’s purpose to visit here .


“Thank you for doing it for 5 cents . I’ll pay this back . ”


5 cents for one book . Tewon was planning to release some paper books along with online .


It was a promotional decision more than a profit . This is due to the paper books and the online books not overlapping .


This was also the case for Jaegun . Jaegun always liked paper books so he rushed . It was nice to see this as such a good price .


Beep!


Tewon’s phone vibrated .


He immediately answered with apologizing to the man .


“Yes, Kwon Tewon . ”


“Hello . This is Team Leader Park Hyojun . ”


“Ah, yes . I didn’t know because it didn’t show the same phone number . ”


“An office change . But… sorry . ”


“Yes? What?”


Tewon’s face was already shaded .


He knew that this couldn’t be good .


“I don’t think we can do the promotion for 3 months anymore . I’m sorry . ”


It didn’t go against his instinct .


Tewon’s hand was already crashing on his forehead .


“Are you listening?”


“Yes, I am . ”


Tewon answered with his hand on his forehand .


Team Leader Park’s sigh could be heard .


There was silence .


No one said anything or asked .


It was obvious . Business did this .


“How is Laugh Books?”


The question broke the silence .


Tewon sighed a while and answered quickly .


“It’s beginning . I can’t tell you if it’s good or not . ”


“But… . ”


Park slurred his words .


Tewon was waiting .


“If you are getting bothered like this, don’t you have a lot of writers so far . Weren’t you starting to promote big?”


Park’s’ question continued .


Tewon bitterly smiled .


“We only have one writer . ”


“One?”


“Yes . ”


“But… . then, what can they achieve . What’s the point?”


“I don’t know . ”


“Ahhh, but this . That person wouldn’t do business like this?”


Tewon sighed to acknowledge that he was listening .


He knew Park was talking about StarBook’s Jeguk .


Another face came up .


But he wasn’t about to share it to Park .


“What were you going to do?”


“Me?”


“Yes, you . You only have one writer . And if they do this… . Carefully, how are you going to make this work?”


“I’ll try . ”


He thought of Jaegun and opened his mind .


“Thank you . I’ll see you soon . ”


“Yes, I get it . Phew . You too . ”


Tewon started to rub his hands .


It was because he wanted to stop himself from smoking .


The temptation of smoking appealed to him .


It was bad .


‘But let’s go work first . ’


Tewon finished the contract quickly .


He left and as he went to the car, a message came through .


-This is Note Team Leader Yu . I don’t think we can do the big banner until February . I’m sorry .


‘Is it the start . ”


He muttered and closed his eyes .


After about 10 minutes passed . A lot of messages came through .


‘This Note, Booking 24, Bookkeeping, Open Culture, Book Sale, Yuto Books… All out . ’


A bitter smile was on his face .


All of them rejected Tewon’s offer for different reasons .


He was expecting this, but the shock was still big .


‘Navin and Cocoa Page is still working…’


Tewon thought .


StarBooks couldn’t touch them .


Those places were completely different from the other smaller companies .


Munpia and Navin Store, and Cocoa page would give him profits . But Tewon couldn’t stop there .


He immediately searched up Yuto Book’s Team Leader’s number . He couldn’t lose Yuto no matter what .


‘Please… please!!!’


The loyalty of Yuto Books was incredible with its stable system and long history .


Yuto was one he couldn’t leave . Jaegun trusted him . Now he had to make him to a bit higher .


Tewon was determined to put the Breathe on the main page .


“Yes, Representative Kwon . ”


The marketing Team Leader took up


It was a tired voice, but he was human too .


The beer that he had gotten from Tewon was over his one month salary .


But Tewon didn’t show anything . He tried to act bright and continued .


“Hello . This is Kwon Tewon . If you’re not busy, would you like to have dinner?”


“Um, really I…”


Tewon answered cheerfully, cutting him off .


“I told you when we met before right? I know a good place . Let’s go there . There will be nothing to worry about . ”


“Hm, yes, I know . But…”


The person didn’t know how to respond .


Tewon definitely knew .


It wasn’t because he was sorry, but because he couldn’t move off the temptation of such a good place .


The opponent was such person . He knew his personality and what bait he would take .


“Don’t worry . We’ve met once or twice . I’m just trying to keep my promise . So just come out . ”


“Then… about 8?”


“Yes, that’s good . I’ll see you soon . ”


Tewon opened the drawer and took some medicine and ate it .


It was going to be another long fight, with drinks going in at every second .
