"What the fuck are you doing!" Aden yelled at the movers. He was in the process of moving into his new apartment. He had his friends Jamie and Jin there with him to help direct the movers.
"You ever thought about being a little nicer Aden." Jamie said placing a hand on Aden shoulder "This stuff is kinda heavy"
Aden jerked her shoulder away from his friend's hand scowling. "This shit is expensive they should know how to carry it. That's what I'm paying them for." Aden said angrily. Aden was angry for sure but he wasn't about the furniture. Sure the furniture was expensive but it was just normal furniture. Aden was angry because he was now moving into his house alone. A house he was supposed to share with his now Ex girlfriend Celeste. Celeste and Aden planned on moving in together after dating for only a year.  The idea to move in together was spearheaded by Celeste. She was madly in love with Aden. She had even offered to cover the rent for the whole apartment. All Aden had to do was live there with her. Aden jumped at the idea. Being able to tell girls he had his own apartment would make it easier for him to get them in bed. Plus he had groan tired of having them meet in that small dorm room. So Aden agreed happily giving his girlfriend what she wanted. While also benefiting from it himself. Celeste and Aden immediately got apartment hunting and furniture shopping. After a while everything was nearly done all they needed to do was move in, but the day before move in day everything went crashing down. Celeste came to visit Aden to help him pack his final items for their moving day. She happily walked into his dorm room ready to pack only to see some random dirty blonde straddling him on his bed. Lipstick smudged across lips and his jet black hair disheveled all over is head. It was an awful sight to see for the girl. She dashed out of the room eyes welling up with tears. Aden through the girl off him in attempt to run after but Celeste was she long gone.
The next morning he sent her a text message apologizing and asking what time they were meeting to move. He got no replies all the way up until the movers had come with the furniture. Celeste finally text him back to say 'We're done. I'm sick and tired of your bullshit. Good luck moving in alone asshole'. Aden was infuriated. It was her idea in the first place to move in together and now she just abandoning him he thought. What was he supposed to do? He couldn't afford to live here alone. He was furious.

Jin had finally exited Aden apartment. Beads of sweat ran down his forehead. He looked drained. He has spent all afternoon moving and directing furniture for Aden's apartment. He had did more work than Aden this whole day. "Yah" Jin started before angrily yelling in Korean. Aden just blankly stared and he switched back to English. "Why have I been the only one helping move furniture. This is my not apartment" Jin yelled angrily at his friends.
"Jin-Young I'm so sorry" Jamie apologized. "I've been here trying to calm down Aden. He's still pissed." Both of their eyes went to Aden who had now turn his attention to the movers. He was giving them death glares just waiting for them to make a mistake.
"Aden stop" Jin demanded "You're scaring your movers half to death. They're just doing their job." Aden stayed for a minute then began to relax.
Aden let out a sigh. "What am I going to do guys. I can't afford to live here by myself." He placed his hands on his head and began massaging his temples. "Celeste won't answer my calls and I can't afford this apartment alone on just my check." He sighed
"Well you have two options" Jamie said. "Move back into the dorms or do what I did look for a roommate."
"I can't move back to the dorms. I've spent weeks bragging about getting my own apartment." Aden admitted
"PRIDE P-Pride that's what you're worried about right now" Jin snapped."Either get over it or find a roommate Aden" Jin said
"I don't even know where to start. I've never needed a roommate before."Aden said crossing his arms.
"Just use roomie it's not that hard. Just get on and create an account. Then a start texting people just think of it as Tinder you spend a lot of time on there." Jin said causing Aden to shoot him a glare. Aden thought about it, a roommate wouldn't be too bad. Plus what if she's hot. He could be living with a super model. The idea of a hot girl living in his apartment excited him. Her helping with rent would just be a plus. Aden was convinced.
He took out his phone and downloaded roomie. He made an account but after putting his information in a message popped up. "Thank you for applying. We will get back to you in 3 to 5 business days." What Aden thought 3 to 5 business days. That was far too long. He only had month before first month rent was up and how long would it take to convince someone to live with him. Sure Aden was charming but was he move in with me in three week's charming. No one would be that eager.
Aden and his friends had entered his apartment and were now resting on his couches "Man Celeste must have went all out on these."Jamie said sinking his body deeper into them. "I see why you were so angry about mishandling them." He said and Aden rolled his eyes.
"You know I always liked Celeste." Jin started. "She would always buy me food, but you know which of your girlfriends I liked them most-". He was interrupted but Aden.
"Don't." He said before changing the subject. "This roomie shit is not gonna work. I have to wait almost a week to even use it. I need someone to move in fast." Aden said frustrated. His hands fell to his sides and he sank deeper into the couch. "No one's gonna wanna move in with someone they met 3 weeks ago."
"And you think a month is gonna change that" Jamie chimed in. "Either way you're making a close call." Jamie was right Aden thought. Would a month make a difference? It sounded reasonable to him. A month seemed like enough time to get to know a person. Aden wasn't a creep and he knew how to appeal to people. A month just sounded better in his mind. That's when he an idea sparked "Jin let me use your roomie account."
