"I need a home." i said.

"haha. hahahaha hahahaha."

i glared at eunwoo who was laughing, making him stop.

"wait, you're serious??"

i nodded quickly. "i need a place to live in."

"what am i supposed to do then??"

"i dUnno, i'm just a pathetic and poor trainee that has no friends or family to beg for money from so that's why," i drew in a quick breath. "i'm going to my wonderful cha-eunwoo sunbae."

"one: you never called me that before so don't start now." he said. "and two: how the hell am i supposed to help you when you don't even know how to help yourself?!!!"

"eunwoooooooohuhuhuhuuuuuuu." i fake a sob. "i'm getting kicked out of my apartment next week. how am i supposed to make enough money to pay for another place to stay in that time?!?!" i slumped down onto the table.

"so." eunwoo started. "what you're telling me, is you want to stay inside my home??"

i grinned. "i didn't necessarily say that, but i will gladly take the offer."

"hey." eunwoo lightly tapped my cheek, leaning in to be eye-to-eye with me.

my eyes got a little wider at his action and i scooted back an inch.

"are you menTAL????????" eunwoo asked.

i groaned and rolled my eyes. "fine. i knew you wouldn't help me anyways." i said, getting up and walking towards the door. "i guess i'll have to go live on the streets then—"

"yah, come back here." eunwoo called.

i ignored him and continued walking, just to test him.

eunwoo grabbed my shoulder, turning me around to face him. he let out a long sigh. "i'll let you stay. until you can go somewhere else."

my eyes grew wide, a smile making its way up my face. "THANK YOU EUNWOO SUNBAENIM!!!!!!!!!" i yelled, going down to my knees in a bow.

eunwoo chuckled. "stop calling me that. you sound so insincere."

i rolled my eyes, getting back on my feet. "i'm completely serious, eunwoo. thank you."

"you're welcome, i suppose. but i won't get any nicer than this, i won't do anymore favors for you."

"stop acting cool, this the first favor you've done for me." i deadpanned.

"tsk. i guess the other times we've spent together don't mean anything to you then." eunwoo said, purposely trying to make me feel bad.

"okAy eunwoo I GET IT." i said. "thank you for all the things you've done for me your highness you are the greatest you are the best you are the handsomest—"

"i know." eunwoo said, before walking away.

a few days later, i was packing early so i could move out of this crusty ass apartment asap.

i shuffled through my bathroom, taking things my with me. i opened my cupboard and paused, staring at the item that was revealed.

i grabbed the orange pill bottle out of the shelf and looked at it. as much as i hated it, i couldn't leave it. i had a feeling i would need it later on, whether it's good for me or not.

i stuffed the bottle into my bag, and then continued packing.

"eunwoo." i called into the phone.

"what do you want this time??"

"STOP SITTING THERE BEING PRETTY AND HELP!!!" i yelled into the phone.

"my god, hearing your voice first thing in the morning makes me want to jump out a window."

"you're so mean." i said. "fine. i'll do it myself. hear me?? I'LL DO IT MYSELF!!" i hung up the phone, quickly composing myself after getting weird stares from other people standing in the lobby.

i dragged my first suitcase and a box to the elevator, huffing and puffing. i shoved passed a guy dressed in black and wearing a mask, not really caring if i was being rude or not.

but then they headed for my luggages and boxes of stuff, grabbing one—no two.

"YAH! LET GO OF MY STUFF!" i yelled, running to the dude and grabbing his head.

"o-ow!! eunbi!! EUNBI!!!!" the guy yelled in pain, making me stop.

"eunwoo??" i whispered.

"who else dumbass?!?! why did you have to attack me like that what's your problem oh my god—"

"i didn't realize it was you! sorry not sorry that you look like a burglar." i said and rolled my eyes. "you didn't even want to help me!!"

"well don't make assumptions!!" eunwoo said irritatedly. "i do want to help you...."

"...fine. thanks." i murmured.

/

"go inside and unpack. i'll do the rest." eunwoo said, when we were on our fourth trip back.

i nodded with a quiet 'thanks' before going inside his apartment complex. i was still in awe at how amazing it looked. i'm gonna have a blast here.

i looked through the multiple rooms (is having this many really necessary??) and finally chose one that was the faaaaaaarthest away from eunwoo's. i also checked out his room. it's so neat that it makes me wonder if anyone has ever even stepped inside.

i busied myself, unpacking my stuff into the large room. this was the first time i've ever lived in a room this big. it makes me so happy until i realize i'm living off of someone for this and actually didn't deserve it myself. sad.

"are you done?" eunwoo's head peeked into my room.

"nope." i said. "but you can go."

eunwoo ignored my offer and went inside, sitting on the floor and leaning against the bed.

"what is the point of having so many rooms?" i asked. "there's literally nothing in them."

eunwoo shrugged. "i bought it like this. i don't use them, so they'll just stay like that."

"that's creepy. what if ghosts live in there?"

"then those ghosts better be grateful that i'm paying for their home." he said.

the comment made me chuckle. "i'm grateful too. i'll pay half of the rent every month."

"no need. i don't take money from the poor." he snickered.

"tch. i'm not poor. just behind when it comes to money."

"that's called being poor, eunbi."
