The clouds had the sun covered under their soft cotton spread. It's always beautiful to walk through the open meadows soon after the rain had just stopped.
The people on the street were busy with their own life, full of ups and down. In this century, most work was done by the robots and other technical devices. Humans would sit at one place and control the robots using their brains like how they had written in old children's books, ten decades back.
This was pretty easy style of life except the fact that unemployment had increased by 60% in the past few years. Not all humans were capable enough of working with robots and job opportunities had lessened.
Humans did manual works only for the management sector in the corporate world, as entertainers and in the brothels. Very few hotels, cafeterias and bars appointed waitresses and baristas yet again for the purpose of sexual pleasure along with services.
Manual jobs paid very less in the hotels and brothels. Not all entertainers and artists earned enough to even support their souls. Few musicians were the only respected ones. The corporate world required a huge amount of manual labour with skill.
Due to the high rate of groceries and almost anything bought with monetary value, poverty among the underprivileged had increased, making them unable to attend schools.
Talented students with no financial power had no scope of hope. As if, their lives were under a shadow of loss and misery.
Y/n was one of such students. She never not wanted to study but the constant pressure of life had changed her. She no more wished to study and attended her college once in a while.
She worked 3 jobs a day to support her life. Heeseung had no idea about how she spent her life in the last 4 years when he was busy getting his diploma in business management and administration in the US.
And Sunoo had no idea of how the life worked in their time. He had studied about the challenges faced in the 22nd century in history and also how the social status of people had drastically dropped down in the late 21st century.
The duo had walked miles to reach their home. They couldn't spend to afford a bus or a cab. That would cause them trouble.
Y/n had denied the thought of making the boy walk all the way back to her house but he himself took the initiative of walking.
"No one walks these days." Y/n frowned. It's not like she doesn't walk, she walks everywhere she goes to save money.
"If no one does, we will. It's better to have a purse of 5 dollars with 500 dollars in it than have a 500 dollars purse with 5 dollars in it." Sunoo spoke without facing the shorter girl next to him.
"And what do you want me to understand?"
"That you don't need to flex infront of me. I can very well understand your financial status as it's nothing different from me."
