Hotel Attendant
Inside the hotel, I hurriedly approached the reception desk. This hotel was conveniently located far from my neighborhood, which suited me perfectly since I was trying to keep a low profile. I intentionally chose this place due to its positive reviews and affordable rates.
The interior of the hotel had a simple design, which was to be expected considering its budget-friendly nature. What mattered most was that it was clean and comfortable, making it a suitable place for me to stay.
As I reached the wooden desk, I noticed that there was no one around, but a bell was placed on the surface. It was the type of bell you'd press to grab the attention of the hotel staff. It had a somewhat old-fashioned charm to it, but that didn't bother me.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
I pressed the bell three times and then patiently waited for someone to come to the reception area.
After a few minutes, a middle-aged woman with black hair and sharp features finally appeared. She seemed rather groggy, and her mood appeared to be soured by being abruptly awakened. Well, it's not my fault that you're working in this kind of job. You're not even supposed to be sleeping in the first place.
I really wanted to give her a piece of my mind, but my skills in public relations were still in the "needs improvement" category.
"What do you want?" she snapped irritably.
"I'm looking to rent a room," I responded.
"What kind of room are you looking for? Just pick from this list," she muttered, thrusting a brochure at me without much enthusiasm.
What on earth is happening with my life? Is this the curse of being ugly? It feels like life is always testing my patience by throwing women with terrible personalities my way!
"Calm down, calm down, calm down," I repeated to myself, focusing on regulating my breathing as I felt my temper rising. I needed to manage my blood pressure; otherwise, I might end up keeling over before even fully utilizing my system's potential.

Standard Room with Fan - 15,000 won
Standard Room with AC - 24,000 won
Deluxe Room with AC - 47,000 won
Family Room - 100,0000 won

The fee turned out to be surprisingly lower than I expected. Well, I guess being far from the city and having such a lousy staff can have its perks, huh?
I glanced over the room options, pondering which one to choose. The allure of having air conditioning in my room was quite enticing, especially since my own bedroom lacked one.
Well, I did have an AC unit once, but it broke down four years ago, and my aunt couldn't care less about getting it fixed. As for my uncle, he rarely visits my room anymore, so he's probably clueless that his nephew is sweating it out with just a fan. And even if he did know, I highly doubt his incompetence ass could do anything about it.
So the idea of indulging in a bit of luxury crossed my mind.
"Perhaps I should go for the Deluxe room?" I thought to myself. Since I was only planning to stay for a short period, treating myself to a nicer room seemed reasonable. It would ensure my comfort until I turned 18.
"Hey, which room are you choosing?" The attendant interjected, her eyebrows raised. Evidently, she wanted me to make a decision quickly so she could get back to her nap. What a lazy employee, I grumbled inwardly, irritated by her lack of professionalism.
"I'll pick the the deluxe rooom,"
"The Deluxe room? Oh, are you absolutely sure? Do you happen to have the money?" she retorted, her tone dripping with sarcasm as if she couldn't believe someone like me would even consider it.
This woman was a real piece of work. Well, just wait until I level up more. I'll make sure to remember you, hehehe.
While this attendant might not match up to my aunt's beauty, her figure was passable enough for a test drive.
I'm a firm believer in the age-old saying that you've got to master driving a honda before you attempt to handle a BMW. Okay, okay, so maybe that saying doesn't actually exist, but who says I can't come up with my own wisdom? After all, who's going to stop me from being the philosophical genius of my own quirky mind?
And honestly, the sheer irritation I feel just looking at her face right now makes it an obvious choice to experiment with my skills on her in the future.
I wouldn't be a man if I didn't assert dominance over this bitch until she submits to me.
"I have the money."
"Well then, how many days will you be staying?" she asked in the same indifferent tone.
I took a moment to think. Initially, I had planned for a short stay of maybe a day or two, but I had changed my mind. I've got a special plan for you, Bitchy Attendant. I will let you off today.hehehe
"Give me 5 days. I'll be staying for 5 days," I replied with a self-satisfied grin.
The attendant nodded and input some information into her computer. Then, she handed me a credit card reader with a barcode on it. I simply scanned the barcode using my phone and completed the payment. Quite a convenient payment method, I must say.
After finalizing the payment, she handed me the keys to my room, and I headed out. Exhausted, I just wanted to get to sleep as soon as possible. This might be the most I've walked in a while; it's quite tiring.

Upon entering my room, I was greeted by a spacious king-size bed positioned right in front of the window. The layout was quite well thought out.
Alongside the bed, there was a modern split-type inverter unit, ensuring the temperature would be just right. Adjacent to the bed, a 32-inch flat-screen TV was mounted on the wall, perfect for some entertainment before bed. Additionally, a desk was thoughtfully placed nearby, offering a dedicated spot for my PC.
One of the highlights was the bathroom, conveniently situated right by the room's entrance. It added a practical touch, making it easy to freshen up without having to navigate through the room first. The design was simple yet functional, providing a comfortable and inviting space for my stay.
"I'll set up my PC tomorrow," I managed to mumble through a yawn as I flopped onto the bed, quickly switching on the AC. The fatigue had hit me hard; all I wanted was to curl up and hibernate like a bear.
