Chapter 341 – Fifty Is Too Much
It was the last week of January. The upcoming February is a holiday. Nobel Dice opened its site just a week before Lunar New Year.
Novell Dice, a new site, had no advantages for readers to use. Thanks to Choi Mi-hwa and other management staff, I was able to bring most of the works that were simultaneously serialized on other platforms, but there were almost no exclusive works.
All of Novell Dice’s works are only those that can be seen on other existing platforms. Naturally, readers were not interested.
So Lee Seok-chan released the money.
〈 Novel Paradise, Nobel Dice Opening Event!〉
Various events were held with the above titles.
Up to 20% payback. A roulette gold event that runs every time you read a certain number of works. Up to 50 episodes of dozens of works that participated in the event are free. And so on.
To sum it up, it’ll be cheaper, so read it here instead of elsewhere. The event, which was held at the risk of bleeding, was decided to continue for more than two months until March as well as the first week of the opening.
What was added here was the only preemptive work on the current platform.
〈 Healing broadcast of retired idols 〉
Author: Seo Hwan / Serial: 20 episodes / Views: 694,235 / Previous works: 14,920 / Recommendations: 53,216
An exclusive work that was posted on a new site after kicking out all the love calls from the giant platform.
Was it meaningful to turn on the broadcast?
Despite being a new site, a significant number of readers came to it. Nobel Dice, co-represented by writer Seo Hwan, has already been a hot topic among the hardcore readers of the web novel version.
– Both site and app are clean
– The viewer is also ah. The contest prize money is big, so it seems like you spent some money on the site itself?
– But there are no exclusive works. These are things that can be seen on other platforms, so why do I need to see Novell Dice?
– Since the event is sweet, it’s good for drinking sweet water. After the event, you can delete the app.
– I think I will keep watching because of Seohwan’s work
– It’s a first-time exclusive, so let’s get rid of it after 100 episodes
– How are you waiting for the tape to be released? Believe it or not, Seohwan is running. This work is also fun. I thought it wouldn’t be good because it was a living room, but I liked it because it felt like a daily life.
– I don’t like everyday stuff because they feel like they have no content.
– It’s fun because it’s mixed with the feeling of music. And Seohwan is of high quality, so I had a taste of picking them all myself.
-That’s
After seeing the results of the new work and the reaction on the site, Seo Ju-hwan smiled with satisfaction.
“This is good enough.”
It’s a much better response than I expected. In particular, the results of the new work came out smoothly, so my anxious heart was relieved. No matter how well-selling star writers were, they were always nervous and anxious when they released a new work.
‘If I went to Taple, it would have sold better, right?’
I was relieved, but at the same time, I felt sad. If it was a writing world that had been published in the past, wouldn’t it have doubled the number of preferred works after sending a promotional note for the new work? The number of views would have exceeded 1 million by now. It is said that it did well, but that is just a story considering that Novell Dice is a new site, and it was a poor performance compared to the previous work, Demon Eater.
However, Seo Ju-hwan soon brushed off his regret. Didn’t he know that this would happen? In fact, his reading rate was high and the ratio of favorite works to views was very high. In terms of the number of episodes, it still met the standard of a blockbuster work.
‘Because I ate all of the settlement money without a fee.’
As I was trying to soothe myself, Lee Seok-chan, who was next to me, made the sound of blowing a candle.
“What are you doing? Excluding Eunah Healing, it’s still not selling properly.”
“Eun Ah Healing?”
“Your new abbreviation. Some readers called it that on the community.”
“It sounds good.”
I liked how it stuck to my mouth.
Lee Seok-chan frowned as he saw him whispering.
“What matters is not that, but the number of users. There are too many people who only see you.”
“What can I do? The site has been open for less than a week now. I will be looking at other works soon.”
Seo Joo-hwan shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Considering that it has only been open for a few days, I wondered if it was rather a lot. Lee Seok-chan’s fuss comes unexpectedly.
“I told you to eat comfortably before the opening, so why did you get impatient? You were prepared to die for a few months anyway. You told me not to worry about operating profit and focus on collecting users?”
“… Awesome. That’s right.”
Lee Seok-chan made a rare awkward face. He was the one who told me not to think about profits for the time being, saying that laying the groundwork was the first thing to do.
Lee Seok-chan said with a small sigh as if he had a reason. It was a sigh of annoyance rather than worry.
“It’s New Year’s Day soon.”
“What is it?”
“I decided to go to my hometown this year. I must have been a little impatient because I had my father as well as my mother and older brothers.”
“Well. What are you going to say when you say you screwed up money?”
“No, I did it with my money, so it doesn’t matter… I’m just worried about it.”
“It’s surprising that you care about that.”
I thought he was a guy who didn’t care about others, but it didn’t seem like that at all. Maybe it’s different because it’s family.
But, there was something that bothered me.
“Hey, shit.”
“Ok?”
“Are you going to the home alone? What about Hayeon?”
Jeong Ha-yeon and Lee Seok-chan are half siblings. Of course, the original price is the same.
Lee Seok-chan crumpled his expression even more and clicked his tongue.
“I tried, but I don’t know because you didn’t give me an answer. Oh, should I just try again? I haven’t been in since I left home as an adult.”
“Are you still uncomfortable with your father?”
“No. The man is fine now.”
Lee Seok-chan shook his head and continued with a mysterious expression.
“Rather, my mother is uncomfortable.”
“Mother?”
Seo Ju-hwan’s head tilted in one direction. Wasn’t Lee Seok-chan fighting with his father? For a moment, I wondered if there was a quarrel with his mother his, but looking at Lee Seok-chan’s expression his, it wasn’t.
“That’s a bit.”
Lee Seok-chan said with a really subtle expression as if grumbling.
“There is too much love. And people are so nice.”
“Why is that inconvenient? Isn’t that good?”
When I said it as if I could n’t understand, Lee Seok-chan raised his upper body.
“Oh, let me think. How are you treating a twenty-three-year-old man like a baby? Of course, being born as the youngest child is so burdensome that I die! In the presence of my father and older brothers, hugging my chest and patting my butt, my Chani, my Chani! Aaaaagh!”
It was Lee Seok-chan, who trembled while hugging his shoulders as if he was getting goosebumps just thinking about it. To a grown-up guy, I could understand how he felt.
Lee Seok-chan said while shaking his head vigorously.
“The reason Jung Ha-yeon doesn’t go home is partly because of my mother.”
“Hayeon too? Huh, hey, can’t you?”
Do you mean to treat Jeong Ha-yeon the same way you treat Lee Seok-chan?
Just imagining it gave me goosebumps.
Lee Seok-chan nodded his head with a rotating expression.
“Of course, it’s not as much as what I do, but it’s not too different either. I told you, my mom is a bit overly nice. Of course, when I caught him cheating on me, I took the blame for swearing at her father. She said what was wrong with the child and tried to treat it like her own child.”
“OMG… You’re amazing, really.”
“It’s a big deal, man. I realized it when I saw my mom and Jeong Ha-yeon. There are times in the world where a relationship that is not considered is more comfortable. Look at Jung Ha-yeon’s personality. From his point of view his, it’s not like he did anything wrong, but he won’t notice my mom? But the stepmother came to me kindly first. She’s not pretentious, but with a kind heart in the world. Do you think that would be as good? No, it’s fucking inconvenient. But my mother does n’t even know that Jeong Ha-yeon is uncomfortable, and she believes that if she treats her sincerely, she will open her heart to her.”
“…….”
“Are you speechless? It’s really suffocating. If Jung Ha-yeon had been a little brazen, she might have worked out. But is he that kind of person? She smiles awkwardly and clumsily accepts it, but looking at it from the side, she feels sorry for me no matter how much it is. He’d rather have her mother be a bad person, would she be comfortable? But she can’t even tell her mom to stop. Since that happened a long time ago, my mom is untouchable at home. Everyone knows and notices without revealing.”
“Uh, um. So, is it better for Ha-yeon not to go?”
After hearing the story, I thought it might be better.
But Lee Seok-chan shook his head, saying he didn’t know that again.
“I wish it had been in the past… I don’t know now. He does not have to see the faces of his relatives his uncomfortably. But I have a feeling it might be good to talk to Mom and Dad.”
Jung Ha-yeon has changed a lot over the past few years. It should be said that after she became an adult, she seemed to have come to her senses her. She changed a lot when she came to college. The guy in front of her now was the biggest factor in the change.
Lee Seok-chan smiled and said to Seo Ju-hwan.
“You’re going to tell me something.”
“It’s a family matter, isn’t it a bit like me interfering?”
“She’s not telling me what to do, just poke her.”
Seo Joo-hwan nodded his head. Even he thinks, Jeong Ha-yeon needs someone to touch her from the side of her. Otherwise, I’ll dig a hole in the ground again.
*
Both Seo Joo-hwan and Lee Seok-chan looked down on Jeong Ha-yeon too much.
“I was going to stop by once before the holiday was over.”
“Really? Are you okay?”
At Seo Joo-hwan’s question, Jeong Ha-yeon glanced at him with a mysterious expression.
“Am I that unreliable?”
“It’s not that I’m not trustworthy… No, honestly, I’m not trusting. Shoveling alone is your specialty.”
“… Do you want to fight?”
“Absolutely I lost.”
“Is it okay to take medicine?”
“Aigoo, madam. What about the key?”
“Who is the mistress and who is the key. Even though Ji is the boss.”
Puck, a weak fist hit her chest.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and grabbed Jeong Ha-yeon’s hand and pulled her. Naturally, her body was placed on her lap. He held her tight and stroked her hair.
“Our Hayeon has grown up a lot.”
“Leave this before it breaks.”
“You want more? Where, can you stroke me somewhere else?”
That was when she slipped her hand down. In an instant, Jeong Ha-yeon’s hand touched her and his shoulder her. It is an action to enter the joint stage. Seo Joo-hwan flinched and stopped his hand her.
Jeong Ha-yeon giggles and says.
“You said you had an appointment today, so can you stay like this?”
“… Ah!”
Seo Joo-hwan looked at his watch for a moment. Fortunately, there was still room. Jeong Ha-yeon muttered in her arms. What, did you forget? It was a voice of regret.
He smiled shyly and kissed Jeong Ha-yeon on the cheek.
“Sorry, I can’t do it today.”
“Sorry, what? If anyone sees it, they’ll know I’m sorry.”
“Are you not sorry?”
“Not one.”
“Okay? I miss you so much. I don’t want to let go.”
She held Jeong Ha-yeon tightly in her arms and buried her face between her neck and her. She wondered why she had a bite and she took a shower. She smelled good. He slightly raised his teeth and gnawed at the gap down her collarbone. Jeong Ha-yeon’s body her trembled.
“That, stop. Hey, stop! Hey!”
“Are you sure you want to stop?”
“Hey, I don’t have time to finish it. Really die.”
“Do you want to do it quickly? In five minutes.”
“I hate that. Let go now.”
Jeong Ha-yeon shook off his arm and stood up. She kicked Seo Joo-hwan’s legs as he sat on the bed and urged him to leave quickly.
Seo Joo-hwan grumbled at the heartless kicking her.
“I am very sad right now.”
“Funny. I should be sad, why are you sad?”
“Hehe. Are you sad?”
“This is real. I’m not sad at all, so just go quickly.”
Seo Joo-hwan came out of the door as if being pushed.
Before the door closed, Jung Ha-yeon poked her head out and asked.
“By the way, who are you going to meet?”
Seo Ju-hwan raised the corners of his mouth her.
“Woman.”
“…….”
“… But I’m almost thirty years older than you.”
Jeong Ha-yeon’s head tilted slowly.
“Thirty years old? Then you’re in your fifties. Heck, can you?!”
A look of astonishment flashed over her startled face.
“Crazy! No!”
Seo Joo-hwan waved his hand her, asking what crazy thoughts he was thinking.
“I’m going to meet you at work!”
Seeing that reaction, Jeong Ha-yeon giggled and nodded her head, as if wondering when she was nervous.
“Yeah, I know.”
“…….”
What is it, did you get teased by Jeong Ha-yeon and not by anyone else? Jung Ha-yeon, who only counts appearances, is actually the weakest of her younger siblings.
Seo Joo-hwan looked at her with her shocked face, when she stuck out her tongue and said.
“Will you come back later?”
“Under…”
Laughter flowed out. When did you become so demanding? It’s reprehensible and arrogant.
“I am.”
Seo Joo-hwan nodded his head. He asked for a sexy black straight-haired beauty to come, but he had to run in socks.
