1 | Kwon Ji-yong

It's now morning - and I know that because as my body starts to wake up, the sounds of birds singing and cars honking in the city came to my ears. I groan, feeling a huge migraine building up in my head.

As I try to sit up, an arm laying across my chest stops me - along with a different pair of arms and legs. I rub my eyes and look over at two girls sleeping by my side.

What happened last night?

The smell of alcohol and cigarettes quickly fills my nose as I push the two women to the side. I make my way into the bathroom and turn the shower on - taking off my clothes and stepping in. The warm water relaxes my body and helps my migraine, and I instantly feel much better.

Once I am done with my shower, I make my way towards the mirror - looking at my faded messy hair, and dark circles under my eyes. Sighing, I brush my teeth and wash my face - then walk out.

"Get up." My raspy voice surprises me, making me clear my throat. The women don't move, so I kick their legs. "Hey! I said get up!" I pull the covers off their bodies and they groan - tossing and turning as the light hits their bodies.

I groan and pull them by their legs, picking one up by the waist and grabbing the other one's arm - pulling them towards the door. They scream as I push them out the door, calling out names like bastard and asshole. I slam the door and look around the area.

What a mess.

I start picking up trash from the floor and spray air freshener all around the open area, throwing the can to the side and throwing myself on the couch. I cover my eyes with my arm, not wanting to think of anything at the moment.

My name is Kwon Ji-yong. I'm twenty-three, living in an old trailer right now. My mom kicked me out of the house, being the rude, useless man of the house, aside from my dad. It's not my fault I like partying and drinking all the time. If only I wasn't so miserable every night.
