1 Chapter 1

{ Y/N POV }

A white door is revealed in front of me as you open my eyes. I type in the code and it makes a noise. CLICK! I open the door to see my brother already home from school, laying flat on the mattress softly snoring. I start to giggle at how worn out he already is from school. I close the door and put my shoes away along with your bag. After a couple of stretches, I look around the dead apartment. Besides the mattress, is a mini TV along with a black shelf filled with plates, cups, spoons, and forks. I grab two plates, forks and chopsticks. I head into the tiny kitchen and place the plates and utensils on the counter. I open the refrigerator and mumble to yourself," Man, Ho-seok didn't buy any food for dinner last night." Sighing to myself, thinking about what to do," Looks like I'm gonna have to go today."

All of a sudden, your brother's phone rings. I run back to where he is sleeping and take his phone out of sleeping beauty's bag. I answer the phone and hear a woman's voice. "Hello, who is this?" The woman on the phone starts rapidly firing off Korean words. "Hello? Is this one of the workers Ho-seok's family? It doesn't sound like him but please tell him that he needs to get to work RIGHT NOW! We are full of people at the moment and-" She is cut off by a doorbell ring, her voice turning into a sweet tone. "Why hello there ladies welcome to Korea's Bartenders. Would you mind sitting over there at table six and your loyal bartender will come to serve you!" A loud beeping noise goes through the phone for a couple of minutes. I put Ho-seok's phone down and grab a glass of water. I sit on the mattress beside my dear sleeping beauty, thinking about what to do.

{ Y/N's Thoughts }

Hmh... Should I wake up oppa or leave him be? I mean it did sound like an emergency down there. Oppa doesn't get paid or a raise much so that would really help us out! Ugh, I hated to bother Ms. Han to beg for extra time for the rent in the past. We seem as helpless as stray kittens on the streets! Then again, Ms. Han is a friend of Nana Soo-a so we are lucky enough to live here.

Your thoughts are interrupted by a loud ringing tone from your pocket. You get your phone out and see your Nana Soo-a calling. " Well speak of the devil, here's Nana Suzie." After putting your glass of water, you answer the phone and you hear your Nana's beautiful voice along with some purring in the background. "Hello, darling Y/N, I just wanted to ask- oh wait one moment I have to do something but meanwhile..." She starts shouting in English, " LYDIA! COME DOWNSTAIRS AND TALK TO Y/N!" The soft purring has turned into loud hissing and a couple of seconds later, you also hear barking. The rough sound of the phone being twisted sounds like a mini hurricane. You hear your cousin's voice speak English, muttering to herself," Holy crap, I dropped mom's phone... oh my gosh it didn't crack, good." You hear your Nana shouting in the background

" Hey Y/N, what's up?" I reply back remembering my many years of English classes," Well your mom called me for some reason and now she's gone." She scoffs, then gasps at the sound of glass breaking. The phone drops and makes a loud banging noise, Lydia is now screaming as well," MOM ARE YOU OK? MOM? CHRISTIAN COME DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW! MOM IS HAVING A PANIC ATTACK!" Their conversation flows away as you can't hear them anymore. I hang up and text Nana Suzie to call back later. You wonder what is happening back there and is Nana ok. You glance at the wall clock and your eyes widen."OH NO, HO-SEOK WAKE UP RIGHT NOW! YOU HAVE TO GO TO WORK!
