Roommate (kth au)

One | 일

I heard a series of loud knocks against my door, are you fucking kidding me? just as i have the time to lay down and nap- "miss! Open up please" an annoyingly high pitched voice yelled out to me. Oh even better, it's the fucking landlord.

I stood up and stretched my arms out while yawning, I then reached down to quickly pull my sweatpants up and started walking towards the door. As I opened the door my eyes were met with a short and chubby man, my landlord.

"Hi sir, what's up?" I say, faking a smile and tucking my hands into the pocket of my hoodie, "could I come in please, I need to talk to you about something important" he spoke in a squeaky voice that irritated me so much I felt tempted to slap the man just for speaking.

I walked with him over to my couch, we both sat down next to each other on the sofa, making sure to keep a large gap in between us. "So yeah what is it?" I said to him, fully aware of the tone in my voice, I just wanted this conversation to be over and done with quickly so I can lay down and relax.

"I'm sorry Miss" he turned his body slightly and stared at me with a disappointed look in his eyes, "I'm afraid you can't stay here anymore-"

I angrily stood up before he could finish his sentence. "There is no way in hell you are kicking me out of this place, I haven't been late paying my rent even once" I glared at him as I spoke, the volume of my voice raising with every word, he looked up at me with his sad, pathetic eyes.

"Miss Lee, I'm really sorry but I'm in a really crappy situation right now, I'm in desperate need of money, my wife needs to go in for treatment for her cancer again and someone else is offering me more money to buy this place, I need you to leave as soon as possible".

I stood there with my arms crossed, as he started speaking I was preparing myself to yell at him in response but his words seemed so sincere and I couldn't bring myself to act like even more of a bitch than usual.

"Fine, I'll go and start packing right now, I'll be out within the hour" I spoke softly, uncrossing my arms and smiling gently.

"Thank you" he nodded as he spoke, quickly hobbling towards the door. He shut the door behind him and as I saw him leave I instantly ran over to my bedroom and chucked my suitcase onto my bed to start packing.
