Chapter 9: Aegyo and Moving

One day, there was a mic issue. The other day, there was a cuteness issue. I couldn’t broadcast properly for two days.

There needs to be some kind of driving force that will make me grow explosively, but I can’t think of anything to show.

Since I’ve been playing games and RPGs all day and night, this field is also not very good.

“Hmm… Huh?” I wonder why I was worrying like an ordinary broadcaster.

I had a high-performance status window that my precious friend Par gave me. I just had to endure the embarrassment that came over me every time I called it.

“This cool feeling, Sa, status… Status window!”

Tiring! The system alarm sound felt especially welcome.

[[Store List]] [Skill] [Item] [Ascending] [Search] [Remaining Amount: 630,000 Won]

I looked through the words that came to mind and saw that I had 630,000 Won left.

I originally had 450,000 Won and bought a 43,000 Won microphone.

“I just got 223,000 Won, so this is perfect.”

I thought it might be a coincidence, but it was as accurate as a calculator.

Bang bang! Excuse me!!

Someone was knocking loudly on the door from outside.

“Yes, who is it?”

I answered, pulling down the ball cap on the desk and going outside, where an old man with a very angry expression was standing there.

“Hey, do you live alone? Yes? Let’s live together. Why are you so noisy?”

“Oh my, I’m really sorry. I was on the phone when that happened. I’ll be careful.”

The old man was startled when he heard my voice and lowered his tone a little.

“Oh, really. Your voice is really pretty, Miss. Are you a voice actor or something?”

“No, I’m sorry for the noise. It won’t happen again.”

I quickly closed the door because I thought the conversation would go on.

After closing the door, I couldn’t help but feel ruined.

What’s the point of being ruined? I have to do an announcement.

The old man’s tone of voice suddenly became gentle, so I told him that it wouldn’t happen again, but it really felt like a mess.

“What should I do…?”

I knew all too well how much noise there was between floors in a studio with no soundproofing. I couldn’t continue broadcasting from here any longer, and I thought I should move quickly.

Feeling frustrated, I went outside again with a cigarette and a lighter, and a cold wind hit my face.

Tch, tch.

“Whew What should I do?”

I took out my phone and turned on the real estate app I had downloaded before to search for properties.

[[One Room]] [8 pyeong 30/200]: Good water, 3rd floor, fully furnished, just show up.

[19 pyeong 25/2000]: Newly built…

The deposit varied regardless of the square footage. The lower the monthly rent, the higher the deposit.

Seeing the wide range of prices, I thought I should narrow down the range.

When I went into the search options, there were several options, such as one-room, two-room, and villa.

Of course, I checked the one-room option and was looking to see if there was anything else, when I saw the option for a rooftop room at the end of the options.

[11 pyeong 25/50]: Clean, tidy, fully furnished.

[9 pyeong 30/500]: Please contact us before visiting^^

There are only two listings near where I live. It seems that there aren’t many attic rooms for sale.

I clicked on the one with a deposit of only 500,000 won out of the two, and the room photos looked neat and in good condition.

“Fake listing?”

500,000 won for a deposit of 250,000 won per month for 11 pyeong is an outrageous amount.

I immediately scrolled down the screen and called the real estate agent who listed the listing, and they picked up right away.

“Yes, this is Round Real Estate.”

“Hello, I’m contacting you after seeing the 11 pyeong attic.”

“Wow, the customer’s voice… Oh my, I’m sorry. I was so surprised that I said that.”

“No, I hear that a lot. But can I ask you something a little more direct?”

“Yes, feel free to.”

“Is this a fake listing? The conditions are too good.”

“Ah, the owner of that attic is someone we always do business with. He always puts the attic room up for sale for cheap, and I was curious, so I asked him about it. He said that he had a hard life when he was young, so he wanted students to live there more comfortably, so he put it up for sale for cheap. It feels good. Or you get scammed like an idiot. It’s one of the two.”

“Can I sign a contract if I go right now?”

“Yes, I have the power of attorney, so you can sign the contract right away.”

“Yes, then I’ll come over right away. It’ll take about twenty minutes.”

“Yes, please take your time.”

After finishing the call, I put on my hat and long padding.

After briefly preparing and trying to go outside, I realized too late that I didn’t have any shoes to wear.

If you drag your padding and slippers on the subway in the winter, you’re likely to get called a crazy woman.

No, my toes are going to freeze before that.

I have no choice but to put on three pairs of socks, so I really look like a penguin.

“Crazy pink penguin rash!”

When I went outside, the cold wind greeted me once again.

My body started to shiver as I remembered riding the subway.

I had worn my hat pulled down low like a pheasant hiding its head in the grass, but I felt embarrassed belatedly.

“Oh my.”

Tingle! A plump lady greeted me as I opened the real estate door and went in.

“Hello. I’m the person who called the attic.”

“Wow, welcome. It’s even more amazing when you actually hear it. Should I say your voice sounds like a fruit?”

Hearing the compliment right in front of him made him feel embarrassed all over again.

“Oh, haha. Thank you. Can I see the house?”

“Of course, you should see it and sign the contract. By the way, are you wearing slippers?”

The lady’s eyes were down at her feet. Judging from her wide eyes, she seemed quite surprised.

“Because the house is nearby.”

“Aha. Then, let’s go and see the room.”

When we looked around the room with the lady, I liked it much more than in the pictures.

In particular, the spacious attic yard was a sight to behold. It seemed like I wouldn’t have to go down to the first floor to smoke a cigarette if I lived here.

“Isn’t it so nice?”

“Yes, it is. But I shouldn’t be saying this as a real estate agent, but since you’re a young student, I’ll tell you. The attic is cold when it’s cold and hot when it’s hot. So think carefully.”

“No, I don’t really have a choice. Can I move in tomorrow?”

“Of course. And the downstairs floor is where the landlord’s son used to live, but he said it’ll be empty while he’s in the military. So you can invite your friends and have fun.”

The more I listen to the explanation, the more I like it.

“Thank you.”

“Ah, it’s warm.”

After stopping by a shoe store and buying a pair of 60,000 won sneakers, I finally feel like a person.

Before going up to the house, I take a cigarette and light it.

“Whew Status window!”

Tiring! [Remaining amount: 550,000 won]

I’ll pay 500,000 won as a deposit tomorrow and call a small delivery truck for 50,000 won.

That means that when tomorrow comes, I’ll have 0 won left.

“I’m screwed…”

I immediately picked up my phone.

Tiring-!- “Yes, it’s Round Real Estate.”

Fortunately, when I explained the situation belatedly, they were positive.

“You can give me the deposit for the studio I’m living in now.”

“Ah! Thank you!”

Click.

“Whew.”

At least that’s fortunate.

The last of my assets, a one-room deposit of 15 million won.

When I first rented a one-room, I had to find one near my workplace, so this was the only option, but I was lucky enough to get into a good place for cheap, so I have more money to spend.

Now, unless I sign a body waiver, there is no way to get money.

I have to keep rolling over 15 million won.

If that fails, there is no future.

I have to sell my kidney.
