It seemed like she had a slight fever. Although he hesitated about letting her sleep on the sofa, there was no other choice. Suddenly, he thought about letting her sleep comfortably in his room.

But could he carry her to the room?

After a brief moment of contemplation, he gently slipped his arm under her neck and legs, and with a careful embrace, he slowly moved toward the room. He walked more cautiously than when he walked alone.

After the planning meeting to turn out-of-print novels into e-books, Naeun looked through the list of publishers she was in charge of. Among them was Jihyun’s publishing company.

They decided to republish the fantasy novel “Dragon God’s War,” which was popular a decade ago but is now out of print, through Jihyun’s publishing company.
However, intending to upload this work to Diver as an e-book, I sent an email to the author, but there was no response.

Because the author was reluctant to reveal their identity, no one knew who they were. However, Naeun knew that it was Woojin. This was because the novel was one that Woojin had shown to Naeun during their high school days.

Worried that his grandfather would scold him for not studying and doing frivolous things if he found out about his writing, Woojin wrote secretly.

Before submitting it to the publishing company, he always showed it to Naeun first. Seol Woojin’s first reader was none other than Jung Naeun.

These days, I read a lot of online books rather than paper books, so it was considered good for Woojin if his debut work was produced as an e-book by a big company like Diver.

However, it was awkward to meet him because of the commotion caused by going to see Ji-hyun at that time.

Dash, Woojin has no friends. After meeting people of the same age, he quickly became friends. It’s not like Ji-hyun thinks Woojin should only have her as a friend, right? And you’ve been away for eight years.

Ji-hyun’s words, which carefully expressed Naeun’s feelings, had no room for rebuttal. She didn’t dislike Woojin making friends. It was just because it was a girl.

Knowing Naeun’s feelings well, Ji-hyun spoke again, trying to console her.

Dash, Naeun thinks a lot about Woojin. So, I understand your desire to attach an expert… Just watch over him. Thanks to that friend, Woojin, who used to stay only in his room, started coming out to the living room and going outside.

She knew. She wanted to support Woojin. She just hoped that the person providing that opportunity would be herself.

No, even while in the United States, she thought that Woojin might have someone else. She also had someone else.

But thinking with her head and seeing it with her own eyes were different.

Dash, they haven’t officially started dating yet…

While driving, Naeun reflected on Ji-hyun’s words. Did she mean there was still a chance? Then, what should I do? How can I open Woojin’s heart to me?

Ji-hyun greeted Naeun entering the office as usual. Naeun showed Ji-hyun the e-book proposal.

“Good idea. Younger generations are more familiar with e-books than paper books. Moreover, since Woojin has launched with Diver before, it won’t be unfamiliar.”

“But isn’t it too much to only be active under a pen name? It seems like it would become even more famous if you revealed your face. Writing like that in Woojin’s situation is not an ordinary thing, so wouldn’t it become an issue?”

“Woojin doesn’t want that. He doesn’t want attention, and he doesn’t read comments at all.”

“The phone reads comments too?”

“Yeah.”

“The world has really changed. There was no such thing in the past…”
“These days, the essential item for visually impaired individuals isn’t a cane but a mobile phone. Mobile phones are so helpful because they offer many features. It would be great if phones in our country also had voice support.”

“But oppa, do you know this? In the U.S., even Korean phones have full voice support.”

“Yeah, I heard. They say if it doesn’t have that feature, they won’t allow the release at all, right? As expected, things are different in big countries.”

“They have a separate department for developing support for people with disabilities. And the head of that development team is visually impaired.”

It seemed that Naeun had a lot of interest in activities related to visually impaired individuals even in the U.S. Confirming once again that Woojin continued to occupy a corner of her heart, Ji-hyun smiled bitterly.

Ji-hyun thought that Naeun’s internal wounds, which were likely to be extensive, were due to not having contacted the man who had settled in a corner of her heart even once.

“Whether to publish it as a paper book or release it only as an e-book, we need to ask Woojin directly. Should I ask him through email, or do you want to meet him directly? Or should I go and convey the message?”

Ji-hyun asked first, thinking that meeting him in person might be inconvenient due to their previous fight.

“He doesn’t check emails well, right?”

“I check important emails and convey them.”
