Love Found In the Contract

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN 🦋

MOVING TIME & First impressions

🐇

Placing my last shirt inside my black suitcase, I sigh. This will be the first time that I will be living in a place smaller than a house with more than five rooms and a massive back and front yard. ever since I was little I have always lived in a big house, maybe even mansion. Even when I traveled, I always stayed in penthouses or an actual house, with more than six rooms. The reason behind that is unknown to me. The secretary always sorts out my living arrangements when I'm out of town. 

Honestly, even though it sounds very bratty of me, I don't think that I can handle living in a place smaller than this. I can bearly handle the one master bedroom and then the maid's section, a small kitchen. Now the small size of the house is compensated by the size of the front and back yard. They are so massive that we even own a part of a forest and a part of a mountain. Which made it seem bigger than it actually was. The apartment that we will be moving to is too small. It's a one-bedroom apartment with the tiniest kitchen, living room, and bathroom. It doesn't even have a dining room. The bathroom only has a small brown sink, a porcelain toilet, and a shower. It didn't even have a bath tube and only a small window. It's horrible. Now the bedroom is the worst thing of all. The closet is small that I'm afraid that one of us needs to find somewhere else to put their clothes on. 

We have neighbors in all directions and the noise is just horrendous. There are ambulances passing every fricken minute, then the noisy and nosy neighbors. I know all this despite not being in that hell hole for forty-five minutes. When we first entered the building, the neighbors poked their head out their doors to look at us. Then when we were checking out the bedroom, we heard the couple on the other side of the wall going at it like maniacs. Jinyoung got so flustered and so did the person showing us the apartment. I think it was the manager who was showing us the apartment.

After that, the manager and I thought that Jinyoung will walk right out of that place but no. Jinyoung loved that place. His reasoning was that the view was just breathtaking and that it was so convenient. It was at a walking distance from a part, laundry mat, theater, and grocery store. When Jinyoung said that we will take it, I was going to call him insane, but I restrained myself because although I hate the place, the location is perfect especially if we are going to do everything ourselves. 

closing my suitcase, I exit my room and go directly to my car. 

"This is it," I tell myself as enter my car, "from now on I'll be just like your average Joe"

I love this place. I now that Mark hates this place but there is something about this place that brings me so much calmnes. Maybe it's because it has all the essentials close by, like the grocery store, the gym, laundry mat, and more. Or because this is the last place that my father will ever think of searching for me.

I know that it's kind of selfish of me to make Mark move into a semi okay neighbourhood  just so my father takes longer to find me but my safety comes first. Also this can also help us adjust to a more understanding way of life. I think that Mark and I have gotten used to the good life. The good life of having everything at the palm of our hands which had resulted in us being snoby, jerks, brats. There is nothing wrong with liking that good life if and only if you remember to stay humble. Remembering to stay humble is hard which is why many who are rich forget about what humble means.

Placing my last suit case on the dusty floor I sigh, there is so much to do and so little time. The apartment is completly empty because I wanted us to make this place ours. The "matrimony" house was decorated by Mark's family and I don't want this place to be the same. I want to come back from work and see a place that is a combination of Mark's and mine  personality.
