Chapter 24 – Famous?
A day has passed since I was discharged.
Seo Ju-hwan’s face crumpled as he looked at his watch.
06:30
“… Why are you waking up at this hour?”
No matter how much I was discharged yesterday, isn’t it too much? Moreover, since he had returned, the time he was in the unit was only about 15 days.
“Has your body adapted?”
The mind was 15 days, but the body rolled 21 months. When you think so, it makes sense. He pulled back the blanket and stood up.
Seo Joo-hwan came out of the house and checked his cell phone while smoking a morning cigarette. He was checking the response to the post he posted yesterday.
– (No cooperation): Ah, ah… Was it a soldier By the way, did you come after training in the military? He seems to have gotten better at writing. Anyway, congratulations all over.
└ (Fun novel reader): I really sympathize with you. My writing skills suddenly improved to the point where I wondered if it was the same writer.
└ (Three generations go bald if you don’t attend): ㅇㅇ.
└ (Grilled dumpling vendor): I want to lock him up and make him write while eating fried dumplings.
└ (Senior Juji): If you have this writing skill, you can watch it even if you have NTR.
└ (Get off at NTR): Shut up, monk, and recite Buddhist scriptures.
– (Three generations go bald if you don’t attend): Brother, were you a soldier? Congratulations By the way, is the army very difficult?
└ (The strongest public interest ‘agent’): I’m sorryhaha
– (Get off if there is NTR): Oh, it was a notice error ㅡㅡ;; I hate you.
└ (Dentures cracked): This site upload error has been consistent since before I put on dentures. Doesn’t seem to have any intention of fixing it.
– (Grilled dumpling vendor): So do you like fried dumplings?
– (Fun novel reader): You must have been a soldier. In the meantime, you worked hard to protect the country. Congratulations all over!
– (Swearing Grandma Rice Soup): Hum. All of her grandmothers are affectionate, so she wears. Know? Now, take this and let go of your regrets. I’m going to leave the donation.
– (Give me the next episode): So what about the next episode?
└ (3 generations bald if you don’t attend): No, it’s enough for 5 years, I’m already looking for the next episodehaha
└ (Give me the next episode): It’s funny. Wouldn’t it be fun to write?
└ (Open the door, artist man): ㅇㅋ
Comments were generally favorable. The notice explaining the circumstances of being a soldier and the website error worked.
Even so, there were malicious comments, but there was no need to worry. Such people don’t criticize for a good reason, they just want to bite someone.
[5,000 LP will be given as a reward for achieving the achievement 『10,000 Favorite Works for the First Time!』
One achievement was achieved while I was asleep, and the ranking that fell to the middle and lower ranks over time regained the first place. It was the effect of five consecutive battles completed by sparing no points.
[This may also be due to the higher level of writing talent.]
“There were definitely a lot of compliments on my writing skills.”
I received compliments on my writing skills from time to time even before returning. Perhaps because of terrible bad luck, he was not a well-selling author, but a small number of steadfast fanatics always left comments cheering them on, saying they didn’t know why this wasn’t popping up.
But now that it has developed more than that, it was a natural reaction in a way. Of course, it may be because the average writing skill of the web novel version is not high.
“I enjoy writing.”
A happy smile appeared on Seo Joo-hwan’s face.
Like all creators, writers can live only by receiving attention from readers. Besides the profitable part, the reader’s interest was one of the important driving forces for writing.

While Seo Joo-hwan woke up early, he decided to go to the morning exercise.
‘Should I go to exercise in the morning?’
For the time being, it seemed like my eyes would open in the morning anyway. Also, after writing while using Blessing, it is difficult to exercise because I am exhausted. I thought it would be better to exercise in the morning and write in the afternoon. I need to coordinate the time with trainer Lim Soo-hee.
‘By the way, is the gym open at this time?’
I think it opened pretty quickly, but I can’t remember the exact time. Once I changed into my workout clothes and left the house.
‘If it wasn’t open, I’d go for a jog.’
Fortunately, the gym was already open. It was opened from five o’clock, perhaps for those who exercise at dawn.
Beep.
After taking a membership card and entering, I see quite a few people despite it being early in the morning. Judging from their age, they seemed to be office workers exercising in the morning.
“Are you a member of Seo Joo-hwan?”
Female voice. The head turns naturally.
I saw a woman wearing a tight-fitting tracksuit.
“Ah, teacher Suhee. Hello.”
“Oh. You really are Joo Hwan. Are you discharged?”
“Yes. I just got discharged yesterday.”
“Ho Ho. Is that why you came out so quickly?”
“Right, what.”
She had revealed to Lim Soo-hee that she was a soldier when she returned to the unit, saying that she would not be able to come out for a while.
Lim Soo-hee continued to say congratulations on being discharged, and she called him in a calm tone.
“By the way, Mr. Joo-hwan.”
“Yes?”
“You might have.”
What are you trying to say?
She whispered.
“You’re the soldier Joo-hwan from the news, right?”
“Yes? News?”
“Yeah, you know. You beat a serial killer.”
“Ah, that….”
She had been interviewed separately by reporters when she went to Army Headquarters. So he knew that it was news and articles, but he hadn’t felt it because he was still stuck in the base.
At Seo Joo-hwan’s reaction, Lim Soo-hee opened her eyes round and clapped her hands.
“As expected, Joo-hwan is right! The time when he returned to the base, his face his, and no matter how you look at it, he was Joo-hwan!”
Lim Soo-hee’s fuss attracted people’s attention. No, was she already watching her? As if they had been waiting, they approached and began throwing words one by one.
“I thought we looked alike, but were you really from our gym?”
“Hey, brave friend. Last time I saw him, he worked hard and even beat a murderer. Awesome.”
“I think you said that the killer was holding a knife, wasn’t it scary?”
“You don’t seem to have been in the gym for a long time, but did you learn martial arts separately?”
Masses of muscles rushed in and surrounded Seo Ju-hwan. He shrunk his neck under the pressure of his magnificent muscles.
Lim Soo-hee, on the other hand, was chattering about her like a lady who heard funny gossip.
“Haha….”
Seo Joo-hwan only let out an awkward laugh. As a 32-year-old aged Asa, the sudden attention from people was burdensome.
Actually, putting that aside, these Musclemons were so scary.
‘Someone get me out of here!’
Please don’t wriggle your pectoralis major….

A similar thing happened in the afternoon.
I wanted to eat tteokbokki, so I went to the snack bar run by my parents, and many customers recognized him. Since it was a snack bar in front of a school, most of the customers were high school students.
High school seniors have fun with anything other than studying.
“Your brother is the soldier who beat the murderer, right? Wow. That’s shit Can’t we just take a picture together?”
“Oppa, can I take a picture and post it on the inbyeol?”
“Brother, did you catch the murderer with your bare hands? What exercise did you learn?”
For the 3rd graders who were forced to come to school during his vacation, Seo Joo-hwan was a good interest to soothe their boredom.
Seo Joo-hwan let out a soulless laugh with a puzzled face at a situation similar to her gym.
At least she was intimidated by her appearance at the gym, but everyone was kind and polite, so it wasn’t so burdensome.
However, these high school students were holding out their smartphones and trying to take pictures, so it was embarrassing.
He’s not even a celebrity, but he’s sweating profusely at the thought of having to film this, but a savior unexpectedly appears.
“Hey! Aren’t you guys falling for my brother? If these come to the snack bar, I’ll eat them!”
Seo Joo-hee, who always called him ‘hey’ or ‘you’, protected him by calling him ‘my brother’.
“That’s right! Hwan, get away from your brother! Boo!”
Han Soo-ah also hid behind Seo Ju-hee and helped with one arm of her.
Although there was a brief resistance to the protection of the two, the situation was easily resolved. Written by Seo Joo-hee! I stared at it, and most of the kids hid and went back or sat quietly at the table.
What kind of school life have you been in, brother….
Seo Joo-hwan decided not to think deeply. Still, he had his own concept of his, so he was n’t the kind of kid who would play Iljin.
“Whoa. Thank you brother I thought I was going to die of embarrassment.”
“Put. It must have been too much for my sweet brother.”
Seo Joo-hee speaks as if laughing.
But he paid attention to the word my brother that came up again.
I doubt he’s crazy.
“Why are you calling me oppa all of a sudden?”
When I pointed out the name, Seo Ju-hee’s face reddened.
“Yes, I told you to call me that!”
Of course he called it that. He even said that he would punch me in the butt if I did n’t use his name properly.
However, there was no way Seo Joo-hee could talk about my brother or anything with just that. It wasn’t that easy to change between siblings.
Seo Joo-hwan tilted his head as he said nothing.
“Why is he really giving a damn?”
“Gee, shit? Hey!”
“Yes. Earn an ass.”
“This crazy bastard?!”
“Juhee you! What’s the habit of saying that to my brother!”
“Ah, he annoys me!”
“Order it!”
“Ah, Mom doesn’t know anything… Ouch! I see! Seeing…”
Seo Joo-hee became quiet only after being hit on the back. Her face was completely swollen and her mouth was tightly shut.
Han Soo-ah, who was sitting next to her, noticed and patted Seo Ju-hee on the back of her.
‘Did I tease you too much?’
Seo Joo-hwan felt a little sorry and called his younger brother.
“Seo Joo-hee.”
“….”
“If you don’t answer now, won’t you listen? Don’t you have something for me?”
“… Right.”
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and nodded his head. Then it is. There is no business, but there is no way to be friendly.
Seo Ju-hee looked at his expression and said as if it was unfair.
“Isn’t that why you stopped me?”
Han Soo-ah took the side.
“Right, brother. Joo-hee just asks for a favor and doesn’t act so timidly.”
“Quit. What do you see me as?”
“It happened earlier because of us, so we just sorted it out… Town!”
“Ahahaha….”
Seo Joo-hee hurriedly covers Han Soo-ah’s mouth and smiles awkwardly.
When Seo Joo-hwan glared at him with narrow eyes, he eventually confessed.
“Well, the kids were just reading an article about my older brother at school, so it happened….”
“Hwan-i oppa, you made a mistake….”
Seo Joo-hwan let out a deep sigh and then nodded.
“Forgive my two sinners.”
“Really?”
“Hehe. Thank you, Hwan-i.”
“Okay. It’s not really your fault.”
As it turns out, it was ambiguous to say it was the fault of the two. The two of them were just surprised to see him appear in an article their friends were reading at school, so they gave up their knowledge.
Seo Joo-hee, who had been forgiven, said in a high spirit.
“Right. It’s not my fault, is it? Rather, I pretended not to know that I was not my brother. But there are kids I saw at the snack bar…”
“Seo Joo-hee, you hit your head.”
“Why!”
“Haven’t I listened to your request yet?”
“Seeing….”
Seo Joo-hee bangs her head on the table.
What kind of favor do you want to ask for?
Seo Joo-hwan looked at Han Soo-ah, who was contemplating whether he should shave his head of her, and said with a smile.
“Sua, tell me what the request is. What are you two doing together anyway?”
The two always stick together like chewing gum. Anyway, this time, the two of you did something, but it probably didn’t work out.
The prediction was right.
“Hehe. That’s it. Joohee and I are doing a broadcast…”
However, the contents were unexpected.
Seo Ju-hwan opened his eyes wide.
“Broadcast?”
“Yes!”
“Could it be paprika?”
“Anning. I’m doing it at Tricky.”
“Ah. Well, it’s ridiculous that you guys are paprika.”
Seo Ju-hwan understood and shook his head.
Paprika TV and Tricky TV have completely different sensibilities even though they are the same Internet broadcast.
If paprika is a stimulating and violent fight between wild beasts, Tricky TV is a fierce battle between herbivores.
It was only a personal impression of Seo Joo-hwan, so it was unknown if you went deeper, but even thinking about it, it seemed that these two would not go well with paprika.
“Hey… Not brother Why are you talking nonsense?”
“Yes. You keep banging your head.”
“Chi….”
Ignoring the dissatisfied younger brother, Seo Joo-hwan continued to speak.
“What are you broadcasting on? Not. Before that, how do you two do a broadcast together? Can’t we do it together every time?”
“Well. To be precise, I broadcast and Joo-hee is the manager and editor.”
“Edit? Oh, he said he was learning editing. So, are you doing YouTube as well?”
“Yes. I’m uploading them one by one.”
“Since when?”
“Not long ago. Has it been a week?”
“Hmm. Then how many viewers will there be? What kind of broadcasting do you mainly do?”
“Uh… Just talking? I sing sometimes too. I also do study broadcasts.”
The proper broadcasting concept has not been decided.
“When did you set the broadcast time?”
“That, when is it just time?”
“…….”
Seo Joo-hwan closed his eyes gently and sighed. He was a simple viewer with no experience of broadcasting either, but this wasn’t it.
He seemed to know what Seo Joo-hee was asking for.
“… Lift Seo Joo-hee’s head.”
“… Hehe. Oppa, can’t we just keep fucking it?”
“It really squeezes me….”
I don’t know what to do first, so help me is a bit harsh.
