If You Could Go Back (Taekook)
Chapter 5
I dipped down and kissed her cheek, then took my seat and
opened the menu.
Kim Taehyung
I haven’t much time. I’m meeting with Ashley around
the corner in…
Kim Taehyung
Fifty-five minutes.
Hana
Has she given up on competing against you for the promotion?
I decided on a salad because I’d be having dinner with Ash
Kim Taehyung
Anyway, How was your own meeting?
Hana
I signed the contract.
She smiled widely, and I was genuinely happy
for her. She’d worked hard to flesh out her studies and turn them into a
book.
Hana
Right now, we’re just negotiating minor details.
Kim Taehyung
**Frowned** What?
Kim Taehyung
You don’t sign anything until all those minor
details have been settled.
She was dismissive about it, and she ran a hand through her short hair.
Hana
My agent said there was nothing to worry about.
I blurted, but come on. I worked with contracts on a daily
basis. She needed to be careful.
Kim Taehyung
What are the details?
She disapproved of my foul language, though I’d stopped caring. She
wasn’t my mother.
I sat back while a waitress came by to take our orders.
She rolled her eyes but answered nonetheless.
Hana
I want us to publish
before Christmas, and I suppose the publisher is looking at next fall. Or
early spring. Anything to avoid summer.
Kim Taehyung
That’s not a minor detail.
Kim Taehyung
You’re talking of
negotiating a whole year before you go to print, and it’s almost September. I
can guarantee they’re done editing everything they’re putting out before the
holidays.
I’d flustered her, not to mention rained on her parade a bit, and I was
sorry for that. However, she knew what I did for a living. She could’ve
come to me.
Kim Taehyung
You got the deal.
I said and reached across the table to squeeze her hand.
Kim Taehyung
I’m very happy for you. We’ll have to celebrate.
