Cherry On Top

Description

 

Youngji, a 23-year old aspiring artist had always had the hard life, or that's what she thought. Passing high school with average grades, she got lucky enough to get into a decent college.
Her parents had high hopes of her becoming a lawyer, but she had other plans for herself.
Taking inspiration from the strangers that she gets too see around her everyday, she realised her dream of wanting to become a webtoon artist. But, life had other plans for her.
Soon after college, she started working for a magazine, writing small pieces of articles every now and then, earning decent enough money to feed herself.
What she needed was a miracle, or rather, just enough time to make her own webtoon.
In comes Kang Daniel, a fresh high-school graduate with a passion in b-boying, charming his way into the lives of every girl he meets. But one shouldn't be fooled by his smile. As charismatic as he seems, he's one big of an innocent guy, trying to "man" up.
What happens when Yoon Youngji, a person who has given up on her dreams, bumps into Kang Daniel, a person who is yet to experience the harsh reality of life?

 

Will Yoon Youngji finally find the muse for her webtoon?
Will Kang Daniel finally learn how to live an adult life?

 

Hop onto this a slice-of-life story, exploring into the lives of 20-something individuals, all going through their own problems and worries.

 

And don't worry, we have many more characters to come. These two, traditionally, are the protagonists.

 

Foreword

Youngji knew she was gonna get fired the first day from work, all thanks to her inability to wake up on time. There was no way she'd be able to finish her work on time, looking at the speed she was working with.
"Oh my god, I'm totally dead! Boss is going to kill me", she looked around for her watch, "where is this god-forsaken thing when I need it the most!?"
Unfortunately, she realised, there was no time left. She had to hurry up, make up an excuse, and pray to God that her boss gets convinced.
Looking at her rough draft, she knew the storyline was great. In fact, she was sure that it'd be enough to save her! But then again, her boss was a complete who always ruined things for her, whatever they may be. With an annoyed sigh, she got up from her bench, collected her files, and walked out of her small office.

 

"I gave you three weeks and this is what you come up with!?" Mr. Lee shouted at the top of his lungs, loud enough for all the employees to hear. You know a person's deeply annoyed when they start pacing up and down, and Youngji knew that her boss was feeling exactly that, maybe even more. Anger, she figured, he must be angry with her. Disappointed.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Lee! In my defense, it's not easy to develop new characters within three-"
"- weeks!?" He interrupted and glared straight at her, " THREE WEEKS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH FOR YOU, YOON YOUNGJI!"
"Umm," she was at a loss of words.
"Not only that, I had been reiterating the same thing to you for the past 6 months. Nobody checks our webtoons anymore because it lacks story! Depth!"
"Mr. Lee..." She fumbled through her words, not knowing what to say next. Her mind had completely out.
