All Y/n wanted out of her dull, mundane life was to find out the truth about herself. Will she succeed in her endeavours or end up...

Stepping off the old rundown bus, a nice gentle breeze greeted me carrying the first whiffs of salt. The journey to this seaside town had been a long one and it was a relief to finally be able to breathe some fresh air and stretch my legs. Dropping my small suitcase, I let out a sigh and looked up to view my surroundings.
A gravelly road separated rows of old, quaint houses and shops from the gleaming white sands of the beach on the other side. The weatherboard exteriors and tiled roofs gave the dwellings a cozy, rustic sort of feel, sporting chipped paint but still remaining tidy.
The overall population of this town seemed sparse, having only witnessed the odd one or two people casually strolling about. This was a good thing as it didn't sit well with me being around a lot of people and tended to avoid places with large crowds opting for a nice bit of solitude instead.
Picking my suitcase up off the ground I spotted the inn that would be accommodating me for the next week and slowly made my way towards it. A good chunk of money out of my savings was used to pay for the room I would be staying in as well as the multiple forms of public transport I had to use to get here in the first place. I cringed every time, thinking about the amount I was spending but I kept convincing myself that it was for a good cause. If not for the information I was searching for then at least I get a small holiday out of it.
Opening the wooden door of the inn I walked into a small lobby area. An off white carpet took up the center of the floor and potted plants were dotted around in corners. A little off to the side housed a polished wooden desk and sat behind was a middle aged woman flicking through glossy pages of a magazine. She didn't seem to notice my presence even when I was now standing right in front of her. Not wanting to stand here quietly like an idiot until she notices I cleared my throat.
"E-excuse me"
Tilting her head up towards me, I don't miss the slight glare she gives me as if I just ate the last cookie out of the tin. "Yes?" She grumbles.
"U-um hi... uh.. I booked a room here... It s-should be under the name Y/n."
Sidling up to an outdated desktop she types on a few keys all while still holding a small frown, skin creasing on her forehead. "Who? Speak up!"
"I-It's Y/n... Cheong Y/n" Oh I really wasn't good at talking to people.
"Cheong hey? So fitting" she stated, the sarcasm dripping off her breath. I looked myself over self-consciously, not knowing whether to take that as a compliment. No, I had a feeling it was the opposite.
"You'll be in room 7" Picking up a small key from the rack behind her she placed it haphazardly in front of me, not caring if it reached me or not.
"Thank you..." not wanting to further disturb the clearly irritated woman I meekly bowed and scurried away up the stairs which I assumed led to the rooms.
