"Girls, get up!" I heard a voice yell loudly from the door.

I groaned softly, sitting up rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand. Currently, my living situations weren't the best, but I had a roof over my head, blankets and food, which was better than nothing.

<Flashback>

"What do you mean?" "Ma'am, there seems to have been a mistake. This apartment is under the name of someone else, and there doesn't seem to be any purchases under your name," the manager told me.

"So, my money's gone?" I asked him, my face falling.

"Unfortunately, ma'am. This isn't our doing," he explained calmly, but I was barely processing anything at that point. So I had just lost $40,000. Why is my life such a mess!

<End of Flashback>

So at this point in time, I'm living with my best friend. A long with her four sisters, parents, two cousins, their parents and both sets of her grandparents in a house that can barely compensate half of us.

Soon enough, I need to leave, even though Minjee and her family apparently love having me around; they told me to stay as long as I needed, which I was definitely grateful for, but I don't think I'll be able to survive much longer.

My parents living in Busan removes any hope of me moving back in with them, seeing as my university is here in Seoul and paying the train fair twice a day wasn't that feasible.

Since I'm clearly the favoured child, they offered to give me some of the money to be able to afford a new apartment, but it won't be enough, and my job as an intern isn't the most fruitful.

The money I lost was because of a false advertisement, that promised an apartment in perfect good condition, I had been provided with pictures and the company seemed trustworthy (clearly not) but I ended up with no money in my bank account, no where to live and a horrible headache.
