the blue and red hues I saw through my window

Jongwoo pov-

The train ride dragged on and on for what felt like hour but really was just 30 minutes. I hadn't even found a house yet but I already wanted to go back to degu. I have already notified jaeho and my girlfriend of my arrival in seoul. Big mistake. I guess I just have to carry on. It would be a waste to go back now anyway, after the struggle it was to get here.

I'm hungry. I just realised that I havent eaten since this morning. Emma would smack me silly if she were here. Good thing she isn't. I didnt quite know what I was craving but I knew I wanted something savory as something sweet would cause me to fall into a sugar coma after the sugar rush has died down, which, to be Frank, I can't quite afford right now. The next thing I know I'm sitting in a food place eating 1000won kimbap. Alone. Whilst searching for a cheap apartment that I can reside in for the time being. What has my life come too?

I have been looking into so many apartments and all I can say is SCAM. They're all so expensive and aren't even all that good. But there is one place I have faith in. The price may make the average person question the reality of it. But I'm not average. I'm skint. 120'000 won. I thought I was dreaming when I saw the price. After seeing that I knew that God had a special place in his heart for me. The lady on the phone was nice enough and said that I can come as soon as possible which is great! I need to hurry. Its such a good price I'm pretty sure it will be sold soon.

So much for the perfect apartment. Sure it's cheap but as I look up to it I already feel faint. Can my legs even carry me that far? I should have listened when eomma told me to join fitness. Lordy me. Nah. No way in heck (😇) am I doing that. I'm not about that life. I'm not the one.

Just as I was turning around to go back to the train station I hear a click and my suitcase becomes heavy and hard to pull. DAMN IT STUPID SUITCASE! Of course it HAD to break on me now. I'm so done. I guess we're going go have to stick it out and go up. I could use a rest anyway.

One step, two steps, It felt as if it would never end. As I counted the 469th step I came to a door. This must be it. This has to be it. If it isn't I will be meeting God far earlier than intended. I entered and on the other side of the door was a large hotel-reception-looking window. I think I've found the place 😅. I've never been so proud of myself. I did it! I feel as if I now had the endurance to run a marathon and not break a sweat. But to my disappointment no one seemed to be in. I decided to take some time looking around, of course it can't hurt to know my way around. The next thing I know I hear a lady's voice coming at me from down the corridor "YOUNG MAN!"
