Knock Knock Knock..... Knock Knock knock !!!
The door rattled nosily Against the worn out Hinges as Jungkook's Land lady banged on it
Mrs.Gomez
Jungkook ! Jungkook! Jungkook ! I know you're in there!!!
A sharp voice screeched from the other side of the door
Mrs.Gomez
You owe me 4 months of rent! I cannot tolerate this long for any longer! You better have the money deposited by tomorrow or I'll be calling the police
Jungkook held in his breath and didn't make a single sound.
Jeon Jungkook
( For the past month, Mrs. Gomez came over twice a day once in the morning and another in the evening for her overdue rent.)
Jeon Jungkook
( In the beginning. Mrs. Gomez stayed for an hour outside, hoping to catch me if I had to go out. Those times were difficult because I couldn't go anywhere unless I wanted to be caught by her. )
Jeon Jungkook
( As the days went on, an hour became half an hour. Half an hour turned to 15 minutes. Now, nearly the end of the month, she waits outside just for a couple minutes)
Jeon Jungkook
If I had the money, I wouldn't be avoiding her like this but that was the problem. I didn't have money and I didn't have any other places to go....*mumbles *
Mrs.Gomez
* Throw a few more angry pounds on the door before leaving *
The sound of her footsteps slowly faded away and only then,Jungkook let out an exasperated sigh.
Jeon Jungkook
Time was running out. The last day of the extended deadline Richard gave me was tomorrow and I still haven't found a job yet.
Jeon Jungkook
I went to so many job interviews and believe it or not, I failed every one of them. I guess that word spread about what Richard and his minions did and they didn't want me as an employee, scared that something like that would happen to their store.
Jeon Jungkook
But I had to keep trying. Giving up was not an option for me. The money I owed Richard was not going to come on it's own
Jeon Jungkook
I Know that Richard was not going to give me any more time. Going into hiding from him was not a solution. Finding money to pay him back and paying back Mrs.Gomez were.
Jeon Jungkook
$609. That's how much I managed to save up for the past 6 months. The amount was far from close to paying both the overdue rent and my father's stupid debt that I still had to pay. Would I be able to pay them both back in time?
Jeon Jungkook
* Laid back onto mattress and let out another sigh. *
After 20 minutes of pouting and sulking, Jungkook decided that it was time to go looking for available job positions again.
Jeon Jungkook
( Even if there wasn't the incident at the cafe, the jobs that I managed to get never lasted longer than a month or two. And that was all because of my dad's stupid debt. He wanted to start a business. Borrowed $200,000 dollars from a shady place and couldn't pay it back.)
Jeon Jungkook
( The business failed and he died soon after. While this all happened, the debt grew. It grew into 1 million dollars. Not one thousand, but one million. And I was given the responsibility of paying back that debt.)
Jungkook grabbed his old laptop and searched for "available job positions" in the Google search engine
It took a while for it to load. The WiFi in his room wasn't good. Using the word good would be an understatement.
When it finally loaded, Jungkook began scrolling down the page and scanned through the available jobs. Jungkook kept repeating this process until his eyes started to hurt. Ugh, this is going to take forever he thought as he massaged his eyes.

Jeon Jungkook
* Opened eyes again, spotted the perfect job opening. *
Jeon Jungkook
* Eyes grew wide *
Jeon Jungkook
Your choice of salary? Free apartment?? is this a dream?
Jeon Jungkook
* Pinched thigh to check if It's a dream *
The sting of pain jungkook felt when his fingers squeezed his thigh told him that he wasn't. This was definitely not a dream. It was actually a reality
Jeon Jungkook
( Hopefully, I'll get this job. Then I'll be able to shake off this humongous debt and the rent all at once. And, I'll get a new place to stay too. Now that would be killing 3 birds with 1 stone)
Jeon Jungkook
Ha ha ha ha....
For the rest of the day, he kept staring at his phone, anxiously waiting for a call from them, but no one called
By morning, the shimmer of hope that he would be able to rid off his debt and overdue rent was practically nonexistent.
Jeon Jungkook
( Don't be so naive Kookie, did you really think you'd actually get a chance to work at such a big company? )
Jeon Jungkook
What a joke.
Jungkook moped around in the apartment until the afternoon when his phone rang.
Jeon Jungkook
* answered the phone breathlessly *
The shimmer of hope was revived, shining brighter than ever

Ding!!!
Jungkook grabbed a taxi downstairs and told the driver the address. On the 15 minute ride there.
Jeon Jungkook
* Trying to imagine what the interview will be like. *
Jeon Jungkook
( What kind of questions might they ask? Hopefully, it won't be too hard for me to answer.)
Before he realized it, the car had pulled to a stop in front of a tall building.
Here you are, Blue Pearls Corporation," the driver said, looking to the right.
Jeon Jungkook
* Followed his gaze and stare out the window in total awe *
Jeon Jungkook
( Woah this is such a nice place but why am i so surprised?)
Jeon Jungkook
( Blue Pearls Corporations. They mainly sold cell phones, but they also had laptops, desktops, Computers etc..)
Jeon Jungkook
( Their rival was none other than Samsung Group with their Galaxy, Note, and Edges. Personally, I liked Samsung phones and they were featured more than a couple times in Korean dramas)
The driver cleared his throat, taking Him out of his thoughts. the driver tapped his fingers on the steering wheel as he stared at him expectantly.
Jeon Jungkook
Sorry! Here you go!
Jeon Jungkook
* Handed the taxi fare to him with an apologetic smile and quickly got out of the car *
The yellow taxi drove off as Jungkook headed to the entrance.
As he got closer, he saw that above the double door entrance, a sign read: "BLUE PEARLS CORPORATIONS" in golden colored block letters. Standing on both sides of the doors were two muscly men in black suits
The security guards, he presume. he walked past them and went to the front desk.
