"Not much. I am still young after all."

~

Han went back home feeling uneasy. He wanted to help his friend! He wanted to know if writing is actually Klein's coping mechanism. If it is, he wanted to let Klein know that letting it out to him is also a choice!

He doesn't have to live with the burden alone!

When he reaches his house, his father is already setting the dinner table. Before he could drool over the food, his father pointed at the bathroom, signing for him to clean himself first. Ah, how fun to have this kind of lovely father.

After cleaning up, he sat down and started eating with his father. Hehe, as a teacher's son, you have the best advantage in this world! Getting info about your parent's student of course! Since Klein was his father's ex-student, he should know something.

"Dad…I just wanted to know something…

Do you know any news about Klein? Like, any news that you heard from other teachers or someone else?"

Mr Ryan was suspicious about his child's question but nonetheless, still thinks about it. He remembers something and shows an obvious face about it which makes Han excited. But, as a teacher, he had promised to never reveal his student's secret.

"I know a lot but it has nothing to do with you."

This makes Han pout. What happened to the advantage of being the teacher's child? He is better of being the child of the devil himself.

Klein's mother had to work overtime again today so he had the house for himself for a few more hours or…minutes. He thought of writing more chapters but then, he received a call from one of his friends, Louis. It's actually a surprise that they're still in touch.

"Hey Klein. We all know you're expert in this one topic before. Could you send a video explaining two questions? I don't mind if you can't."

Klein reads the topic and smiles. He would never forget how to answer the question for that topic. It was his favourite to the point where he even put it as his character's favourite topic to learn in his novel.

"Sure. I will send it to you."

He looked at his previous chat with his previous classmates and found a video of him explaining the topic. Great, he didn't need to record a new one. He sent it and finally went to the kitchen to eat the food that has been blessed by the god.

The instant noodles (≧∇≦)/

Right when he was about to open the lid, he heard the front door open. His mother and him had a stare down before his mother took the noodle away from him with a smile.

"Sorry honey! I already bought this Korean food from the new shop!"

'I need to avoid being near korean stuff or people. They really bring bad luck to me.'

~

Woo Young who was eating suddenly sneezed out of nowhere.

"Ah! Who even mentions me late at night! Do I…have a secret admirer???"

~

Klein starts eating his food and he admits that it was not that bad. He was the first one to even finish eating and because of that, he decided to help with the cleaning. He went back to his room and had a new notification.

'Review: 2.8/5'

Again, this kind of review makes Klein want to jump not a cliff or a building, but he would love to jump off the world and go straight to the hell hole. This kind of comment pissed him off. But he then got another notification that made his anger go away.

'Rating: 5/5'

LolMinTaro: Ah! I am finally done with my studies for the topic this whole month! And I just finished reading this new book of yours K! Based on the crappy book cover and random title, this must be to fill your boredom! But it's still great! I also love your new writing style! Did you get an editor? Scratch that! The main character plays his character as a lazy person well! I knew someone who's a bit lazy like him! But if you could, pleaseee make some romance! It doesn't have to be for the main character! Maybe make a love interest for the best friend! Beside~ What is a slice of life without some romance~

Klein wasn't too fond in writing romance but the comment does point out something. At least in some manga or anime, there's always a character that's in a relationship. Sometimes, those characters also make a story interesting!

Example, a story that Klein read.

The girl finds out the guy she has been protecting wasn't actually in love with her and only use her for her intelligence in a game they participate and thus, it lead them to their death and it helps the main character advance to the next round.

If the couple didn't exist in the story, it would be a typical main character against a normal character and they win. Some drama wouldn't hurt~

Klein had decided to create a character who is in love with the main character but ends up dating the best friend after some time together. The main character? He deserves to be with a bed because he never missed a chance to take a nap.

Actually, this main character is what Klein in the first few months he locked himself up in his room. He used to be a lazy guy that would only sleep and ignore the text messages from his classmates. Also, it's probably the reason his classmates ignore him now.

Klein: (⸝⸝o.o⸝⸝ )ﾉ a slight romance idea?

Han: ( ◕o◕) You finally want to write romance???

Klein: Well, someone suggested I should put a little romance in my book.

Han: Then! We should talk about this face to face! With Woo Young's help too! She knows a lot when it comes to romance! I will tell her that we are just helping a friend to create a novel character!

Klein: Alright.

That was an easy discussion. Klein switched on his laptop and went to sleep. No extra chapter for that day he supposed.

~~~

Han: So, I have a nugget and an…apple? Which one would you have?

Klein: Well, considering some people are obsessed with nuggets, I will sell the apple and nuggets a little expensive and I would have a cup of instant noodles!

Louis: …Didn't prepare for that answer.
