That XX is unlucky but sexy

'I'm sorry, Mr. Kim. We don't check your manuscripts, so I can't tell you anything.'

On my way home from a long-awaited grocery shopping trip, I called the publisher. As expected, they were already pushing me away. They wouldn't publish my book, but I signed a contract that prevented me from going to another publisher. They were saying it was a waste to give it away, and they didn't want to keep it for themselves!

My hands tightened as I held the heavy plastic bag filled with the groceries I'd just bought. Damn it.

김여주

Oh yes... Thanks for your hard work.

Thump-

The rent payment date for my studio apartment is fast approaching, but the number in my bank account keeps dwindling. Isn't this a bit much for someone who works hard day by day? I walked with a squeaky sound.

I was planning to go with Taehyung because he said he found a nice cafe before I got the call, but I was in a bad mood.

I found a rock standing alone on the road and, a little nervously, kicked it, remembering the soccer game at school.

I regretted it soon though-

???

....

김여주

I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean to ㅠㅠ Ah, I just got angry and kicked you, but that's it ㅠㅠㅜ

???

So, if you get angry, you can just smash any car?

김여주

No, of course not. Of course not.

What happened was... I, a cold-blooded jerk, crashed into an expensive-looking orange sports car that even I, a car idiot, could see, breaking the right side mirror and even leaving a scratch on the ground as I fell.

At that moment, a person who seemed to be the owner of the car came out of the cafe next door, and the situation developed like this. He must have been very angry, because he was currently sweeping his hair up in front of me and wiggling his eyebrows.

It looks expensive, but am I going to the slaughterhouse now..?

Aren't you going to get chased by loan sharks after borrowing money?

Are you saying that you're going to end up broke and sleeping rough at Seoul Station?

???

First of all, I have something urgent to do right now, so please contact me later. I'll be waiting.

What the man handed me was a crisp, square piece of paper: a business card. Of all the words written on the card, the one that caught my eye was...

Park Jimin, his name was three letters long.

So Park Jimin left and I returned home.

김여주

I'm already struggling with living expenses and rent these days, so how am I supposed to afford that...

I buried my head in my knees, overwhelmed by the overwhelming sense of despair, wondering why money was making me suffer so much. A long silence passed, broken only by the ringing of a phone.

~ Ayy I never walk alone ~ I feel the warmth of your hand that I hold ~ ~

김여주

hello..

김태형

'What? Why is your voice so weak?'

김여주

Oh, I just called the publisher today, but I didn't get much out of it.

김태형

'I'm sorry again, Writer Kim~ It's obvious even without looking'

김여주

ㅋㅋㅋㅋOf course Taehyung, I want to sleep

김태형

'Sleep well, I'll come see you next time'

I sat on my bed, fiddling with the business card I'd received today. At first glance, all I could see was Park Jimin's three-letter name, but now that I look again, it says "Head of Headquarters at Big Hit Entertainment."

If it's a Big Hit company, it's a large company and the face looks young, so if it's a headquarters manager, it's a high position for its age, but if it's a luxury sports car, it's already been said,,

김여주

ㅡ I'm the one who damaged the car today ㅠㅠ When is a good time for you tomorrow? I don't mind any time! ㅡ

00:30 AM

박지민

- I think lunchtime would be a good time. Let's meet at that cafe by 1 o'clock. -

I checked the text from him late at night and fell asleep.

Is our meeting a bad fate?
