The skyscrapers towered above me.
The sunlight finding it's way through the thin strips of open space, reflecting off of each building like a painting.
The sound of cars honking and the subway rolling by underneath my feet filled me with a sense of longing and determination.
FLASHBACK
Y/N : I'm moving out.
Mom : You're What!?
Y/N : I'm uh..... moving out? I want to go to Seoul. Stretch my feet in The Big Apple, and dig my toes in new water.
Dad : No
Y/N : But dad!
Dad : End of discussion, Lee Y/N
Y/N : I'm twenty-four! I can't be under your roof forever, you know! Can't you let me learn to establish responsibility, and allow me to have my own freedom?
Mom : She has a point, honey.
Y/N : You're literally still paying for new tires on a car that you never should have bought me in the first place.
Dad : You don't know anyone up there. where will you stay? How will you pay for everything? Where will you work?
Y/N : I already spoke to Karina, and she said she would come with me. We both want to start fresh, daddy. We've been in Gwangju our whole lives.
Mom : Honey, they're both capable adult... It's not like they'll be complete across the country.
Dad : If i agree, I'm paying for your until i get feet on the ground.
Y/N : Oh, come on! that totally defeats the purpose.
Dad : It's that, or you stay here.
Y/N : And if i say yes, at least let me pay for the suit i made your ruin
Dad : It's a deal.
Y/N : WoooHooo i just made a deal with lawyer!

Y/N POV
So here i am alive in the concrete jungle and currently...
THREE MINUTES LATE TO MY JOB'S INTERVIEW!
It was one thing to be late for an interview, but it was another when your interview was with one of the most influential real estate tycoons in the world.
KIM TAEHYUNG.
Hell, even his name founded sophisticated.
My jaw nearly hit the floor when I stepped foot into the glass building.
I made my way over to the front desk.
Secretary : how may I help you?
Y/N : I'm looking for KRE, Kim Realty Enterprise. I have an interview I needed to get to like....Five minutes ago.
She began typing onto her computer, and the sound of a printer started up.
Secretary : Bring this over to the turnstile, scan the barcode, and wait for the gate to open up. When you reach the elevator, go up to floor twenty- one.
I reach out and grabbed the badge from her hand and instantly after i scanned the badge, the small gates of the turnstile bent in, and i walked through.
My finger slipped. God dammit, MY FINGER FUCKING SLIPPED.
I meant to hit twenty-one but i hit seventeen floor.
Why Me? Why?
