Doesn’t Yuri Lee know that I live alone?

No, I definitely know.

I already said this last week, and because of that, I submitted it to be discussed as an agenda item at the faculty meeting, and it was Yu-ri Lee herself who said that.

But am I a sane student?

And that wasn’t it either.

I, Han Seong-jin, was a first-class Iljin who was famous not only at Jinsu Higher Education Academy but also in this area, and I lived a life full of all kinds of rumors related to women.

Although he has sorted it all out now, he is such a promiscuous person that many of the rumors may be true.

The typical insensitive + eunuch male protagonist in romantic comedies… That means he’s not a guy like Gong Young-bae.

Is he saying this because he knows what it means for a woman to come alone to a house where a man lives alone?

“Well, then you know that…! I’ll go in first!”

After Yu-ri Lee said those words, she hurriedly went back to her house, probably because she was embarrassed. I laughed once at the sight, then passed by Yu-ri Yu-ri’s apartment and headed toward my house.

The apartment where Lee Yu-ri lives is still an apartment complex where middle-class people can live, but the place where I live is a slum a little further out than that.

In this place where multi-generational houses are lined up, the sanitary conditions on the streets were poor, so there was a musty smell coming from the streets, and garbage bags were piled up in front of the residential areas, forming a mountain.

Things get a little better on collection day, but right before garbage collection day like now, it’s absolute chaos.

To put it mildly, rats are occasionally seen on the streets, and the cries of stray cats that come out at night and rummage through trash are no longer audible in our daily lives.

This is the neighborhood where I live.

I walked towards the oldest-looking multi-family house in that crappy neighborhood.

When I put the key in the old-fashioned iron door and opened it, which still had to be opened with a key because it didn’t even have a common door lock, a very dirty and messy room was revealed.

There are dozens of plastic convenience store lunch boxes in the trash collection box at the entrance.

In a room without a bed, the mattress on the floor instead of a bed was in the same disheveled shape as when I woke up this morning.

There was a mountain of unorganized clothes scattered all over the room, and the only thing that was there was an old model computer with poor performance and a guitar standing in the corner of the room.

Although I’m a 20-year-old adult, I’m still a student at a higher education academy in this world, and the house I live in now is closer to that of a newbie just starting out in society rather than a student.

At least I worked hard to organize it, so it’s like this. At first, it was 10 times more crappy than this.

A guy named Han Seong-jin spent far more days sleeping somewhere else than at home…

“Until Lee Yuri visits, I guess I’ll have to create a way for people to live.”

I unpacked my bag, grumbled, and started cleaning up the house.

There was so much to organize in a house that wasn’t very big, no matter how much I cleaned up, the trash kept coming out, and just removing the rust and grime from all over the house took several days.

After eating a quick lunch from a convenience store, I cleaned the bathroom while playing music on YouTube.

1 hour… 2 hours…

After several days of hard labor to decorate the bathroom, which was once infested with cockroaches, to resemble a place where people live, my arms ached and I was sweating like rain.

Even for a young man with a good physique and stamina, it was difficult.

“Wow, I’m thirsty.”

I opened the refrigerator door, wiping the sweat from my forehead with my collar, but…

“Oh fuck.”

There was no water.

Since I didn’t have a water purifier at home, I cursed to myself and went to a convenience store near my house with my check card and bought two bottles of water.

“It is 6,600 won.”

Beep! The transaction is complete.

My phone vibrated with a familiar electronic sound.

When I saw the text message sent to my cell phone, I sighed involuntarily.

[Web transmission]

[xx Check Approval] Han*Jin (xxxx) 03/15 18:34

(Amount) 6,600 won Eleven Seven xx points

Balance 162,442 won

There was only 160,000 won left in the bank account.

Fortunately, yesterday was the day to pay the rent, so there is still a month left until the next rent, but I wonder if I will be able to survive until the next rent at this rate.

‘I need to get a part-time job right away.’

After breaking off ties with his parents, Han Seong-jin did not go through a real estate agency, but simply called the contact information written on a flimsy ‘renting looking’ flyer posted on a telephone pole, signed a contract directly with the landlord, and has been living there ever since.

Even though he could not expect any help from his parents, the reason why Han Seong-jin has been able to live well without even working a part-time job is because he lived off the money stolen from his gang and the remuneration he received from them after organizing the gangs of other academies.

But I had put an end to all those trashy activities and had no intention of making up the money that way.

What naturally follows after that is hardship in life.

The reason I only eat lunch boxes from convenience stores is not only because I really can’t cook food, but also because of the hardships of living.

But even that is now a limit.

After returning home, refilling the water and cleaning the bathroom, I went back to the convenience store and asked the clerk at the counter.

“I have something to ask you.”

“Uh… yes?”

A male clerk who looked a bit older than me because he was a part-time worker was momentarily shocked when he saw my facial expression.

” When I came in earlier, I saw that it said that they were looking for a part-time job. Have you already found one? ”

“Ah, you’re looking for a part-time job.”

Only then did the convenience store clerk look a little relieved.

“No, because there are no applicants… Have you ever worked part-time at a convenience store?”

“Yes, there is. Adapting to work will be much faster than you think.”

It was only half true.

Not as Han Seongjin, but because I had a part-time job before that.

“But are you really okay? I’m the manager here, but this neighborhood is a bit…”

“It’s in bad condition, right? There are a lot of beautiful people trying to drink or smoke, and there are also a lot of guys who come and cause trouble.”

“Yes? No, how do you do that…”

How do you know?

You know this because until last year, this was the place that Han Seong-jin used the most when he went out with his gang to smoke cigarettes.

The neighborhood is bad, the security is bad, and the gang, including Han Seong-jin, are flocking around, so from the perspective of a working person, the neighborhood itself can’t seem to be in good condition.

Of course, I couldn’t reveal that the leader of the gang was me, so I covered it up appropriately.

“I live here. I’ve seen a lot of strange people here and there, so I know the basics.”

“… But do you really want to work part-time? All kinds of really special people come here, and all the part-time workers quit after not being able to last two months. We want to hire someone who will be around for a long time…”

“Don’t worry. I can guarantee that something like that will never happen here while I’m working. Even if something happens, I can take care of everything. So, can you please let me work?”

In response to my earnest request, the manager made me wait for a while and then spoke with the store manager.

After talking several times and repeating ‘yes, yes’, he finished the call and came towards me again.

“Well, then, when can I start working?”

“The faster the better.”

“Oh, then do you still have time? I have a part-time job in the afternoon and I’m going to the bathroom for a moment. Originally, two people were supposed to work in the afternoon, but one of them quit… If you want to work, start training right away from today.”

“But I haven’t signed a contract yet and I don’t have a health certificate.”

“Don’t worry about that. If you are going to work, the store manager will come tomorrow and draw up the contract right away. You can apply for a health certificate and bring it to me as soon as it comes out.”

They haven’t signed a contract yet and don’t have a health certificate, but seeing as they’re trying to bring in people first, it looks like they were in quite a hurry.

If they were going to mess around with the contract, I already knew how to deal with it, so I agreed to do the job without worrying too much.

The manager immediately informed me of my hourly rate, working hours, etc., and in the meantime, my afternoon part-time job returned after I had gone to the bathroom.

“Manager, I’m here… Huh? Who is next to you?”

“Ah, greetings. From now on, I will be working part-time in the afternoons. Hey, this is the afternoon part-time job that she will be working with from now on.”

When I turned around, there was a very beautiful woman standing there.

……

– What, did you like this bitch? I’m sorry about that. This bitch has been my bitch for a while. Should I have told you in advance?

– What is this…

– Sigh… ♥ I’m sorry, senior… I… everything was taken away from me… Even my first kiss and my first experience… I wanted to give it to you… but I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise…

– No way… That’s a lie, right? Are you doing this to make fun of me? huh? Say something!

– I… I’ve become Seongjin’s now… So I can’t go back now… I’m sorry… And… I really liked you… I’m sorry…

– Ugh!!!

……

Her hair was dyed blonde just like me, tied in a ponytail, and unlike me, her skin was slightly tanned.

The makeup was quite heavy, and one arm had a lot of accessories, so the look was quite flashy, and it was truly the stereotype of a gyaru.

In addition, she has breasts as huge as Lee Yuri’s, so any man’s eyes can’t help but be focused on her.

I know that woman.

“Choi Su-yeon?”

She was Choi Soo-yeon, a gya girl who was one year junior at Jinsoo High Education Academy and a member of the second-year group, and a person who had been blinded by Han Seong-jin like other heroines.

” Senior Seongjin?!”

And Choi Su-yeon also knew me.
