8

By the time he finishes his homework, it's already 10 pm and both of his friends are already asleep. He walked downstairs with his bag and saw Woo Young's mother. She's watching the television with her husband without caring much about Klein's existence. He walked out from the house and went back to his house.

Yes. He goes home without alerting any of them. When he reaches his house, his mother hugs him and prepares some dinner for him.

"I was worried that you were outside for too long."

"I was studying. Sorry."

He cleans himself and starts to eat while editing a new chapter. He can't just wait for Han so he had to publish without the boy's comment. Honestly, the boy helped him a lot that he felt bad publishing without letting him read it first.

But let's just enjoy the time with no Han.

When he's done, he cleans the dishes and checks on his mother. She had already gone to sleep. Now, Klein doesn't feel like sleeping so he looks up random videos on the internet again and watches them. Mostly educational videos.

For his dumb brain.

Next day, his teacher enters the class with a smile. Everyone was happy because they thought they all passed. Klein already knew the meaning of that smile which makes him smack his head on his desk. Not too long after that, he sleeps.

"Half of the class failed!"

Class E slowly turns dark and soon, they all look gloomy and have no energy to even look up to their teacher. When the teacher saw this, she chuckled and pulled out a stack of papers. She gave it to every student and they read the paper.

"But the principal saw you guys study hard. You get to go with other second year."

"LET'S GO!!!"

Klein woke up with a shock after the sudden scream he heard. He looked around and saw everyone had a paper except him. When the teacher saw him awake, she smiled and continued her teaching.

"Klein. Your mom already signed the paper from Mr Ryan so you don't need the paper."

He knew it and ignored the teacher. Now, he just wanted to go home. Because of tiredness, he went back to dreamland and dozed off. His classmates stare at the sleeping figure and wonder how can a person sleep that much?

As always, school ended and he went home. He wrote a new chapter and sent it to Han. This time, Han points out something that Klein hopes no one will complain about but of course, Han is so strict that he points it out.

Han.working: Hey. Why is it, your characters always end up having the same personality?

Han.working: Take Leon and Mark as examples. They're both villains but when they befriend the main character, they had the same personality as the main character.

K: It just happened?

Han.working: (--_--) come on! FOcus more on your character personality!

K: …I will try. It just happened naturally.

Han.working: Also! Can you be more creative! I don't want to read a book with the character going to school and only do something fun when it's lunch time or after school!

K: …? Okay.

Now how does he fix this? He can't just change the main character to have the same class with his friend to have interesting class time. He thought for a while and finally thought of something. Texting while in class should be interesting, he supposed.

Right after he fixed it, Han sent a cute goodnight emoji and went offline. This is rare. Usually, Han bothers him which causes him to switch his phone off and go to sleep first. Today, it's peaceful for him which makes him smile a bit.

He looks up a random novel and starts reading it. For him, reading other's novels can help him cure his broken humor. He tries taking some notes but it ends up with him not understanding some jokes. He came across an isekai novel which he never read.

Why not read it when you have free time?

He got addicted to it.

He remembers Han read a lot of novels so he thought, maybe he can get some recommendation from the boy. Now, he doesn't regret having Han as his assistant. He got a notification from Han which makes him shudder a bit.

How did the guy know Klein was thinking about him?

Han.hungry: Hey. I am hungry. Because of this hunger, I can't sleep!

K: Go cook…?

Han.hungry: You're awake?

K: Yeah? By the way, do you like isekai novels?

Han.hungry: Ah yes! Isekai had the best plot! Especially…

K: what?

Han.hungry: When the main character, without realizing, seduces a lot of people and they end up having a harem!

K: Ah yes, I saw that in every isekai novel I found, there's also romance.

Han.hungry: Well, romance makes them interesting!

Klein let go off his phone and think for a while. He never wrote romance so if he were to write one, will it be good or bad? People even told him romance is easier. In his opinion, all genres are difficult to write but he guess people wrote romance a lot which is why they consider romance easier?

Han.hungry: [1 attachment]

Klein pressed it and saw a selfie of Han and a bowl of noodles. That…makes him hungry and his stomach starts rumbling. Han, who was happily eating his noodles, gets a notification from Klein and it quickly changes his mood.

K: (-_-)

Not only was he pissed at the emoji but he can't believe that guy didn't text more! Again, he was left hanging without any goodbye or good night! Han finished his food and went to his bed. He checks on the book Klein wrote and smiles.

He always checks the chapter with the author's note because it's interesting and rare. Yes, Klein rarely wrote any author notes. When he wrote it, it would probably be like:

I need money for my noodles.

And that is how he gets gifts for his novel. His readers are simps for sure.

"You and Klein really give me the same vibe."
