The scripture says:

All is vanity.
Everything is meaningless.

[010-9xxx-xxxx: Dear customer Lee Se-won, your maintenance fee is currently overdue. Please pay the amount to the account below.
Total amount to be paid: 471,845 KRW]
"Shit."
Empty-handed coming, empty-handed going (？手？？手？).
We all come into this world with nothing and leave with nothing, so life is ultimately made up of emptiness and futility. Therefore, the world is ultimately an illusion, and it is foolish to attach deep meaning to material things.
Similarly, my once robust bank account of 300,000 KRW turned into emptiness in an instant with a single damn text message.
Inside me, there was only sadness filling up.
"Fucking hell."
The text message felt like a death sentence, making the back of my head tingle.
No, it actually tingled! The severe mental shock caused my muscles to contract!
I grabbed the back of my neck like a drama patient with high blood pressure.
A sobbing sound automatically came out.
"Ugh... Ugh..."
I wished I could just collapse like this. I wished that if I collapsed now, this would all feel like a bad dream.
The sharp pain in the back of my head reminded me that this was cruel reality.
I had forgotten. That the angel of death for money comes once a month.
So many things happened in a month that I didn't have time to prepare.
And the result was right in front of me.
A surprise attack during a moment of carelessness always has double the effect.
Similarly, the tax message I received without being prepared gave me a huge shock.
470,000 KRW... It was too much money to fill with my meager 300,000 KRW bank account.
Moreover, the problem wasn't just the overdue payment; there was a big problem even after paying.
If I spent all that money on the maintenance fee, what would I live on?
All that was left in the house were three bottles of water and two packs of ramen. Surprisingly, they weren't even bundles of five but two individual packs.
And they weren't even soup ramen but the kind with a tiny amount of sauce!
A completely fucked-up situation. All the karma and actions I had accumulated were coming back to me like a boomerang.
There was no way out. This situation itself was a dead end.
"What the hell do I do..."
Squatting on the chair, I bit my nails for a moment.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't come up with a way to get money. I thought about doing promotions, but I had already done that yesterday.
Commissions weren't something I could do just because I wanted to.
"I might have to do hard labor..."
Like last summer, I might have to go to a labor office every weekend and do manual labor.
Working under the scorching sun, pushing my body to its limits. It was a tough job, but it paid well.
But... I didn't want to do that. Just thinking about last year's desperate times made me feel gloomy.
Back then, I really lived with the mindset that I might die. It's not a memory I want to recall.
As I was sitting there with my head down, thinking about that,
Ding-dong!
Suddenly, the doorbell rang at the front door.
The cheerful bell sound struck my ears.
'What's going on?'
There was no one who would visit this room.
Except for the occasional delivery person, I was the only one coming and going.
Maybe it was a peddler... Thinking that, I approached the front door. If it was a peddler in this situation, it would be very unpleasant.
For a moment, I looked through the lens attached to the door at the person standing outside.
There stood a middle-aged woman. She was wearing glasses and dressed like a shop owner, resembling someone like Shimura.
From her appearance, she didn't seem like a peddler...
Then, the memory of 'Lee Se-won' came to mind.
(Lee Se-won: This is the old lady who owns this place)
"Ah!"
Realizing that, I quickly opened the front door.
In the world, the landlady. Now, in front of me stood someone no different from the grim reaper who could take my life.
If she said she wouldn't give me the room because I didn't pay, I would have to helplessly sit on the street.
I needed to be extremely careful.
"Ah, welcome..."
So, I greeted her with the most polite attitude and appearance.
With a service smile I had practiced during my part-time job, I filled my eyes with false kindness.
At that moment, my appearance was that of a quiet and modest young man.
Soon, the old lady saw me and smiled slightly.
"Oh, Se-won, long time no see~"
A gaze mixed with goodwill (lust) was directed at me.
...No, I'll correct that. It was a gaze mixed with sexual desire.
From top to bottom, bottom to top.
Sometimes the gaze lingered on the chest and crotch, and like a worm crawling, the gaze slithered.
It wasn't blatant, but because of that, it was even more unsettling.
Suddenly, an unpleasant feeling wrapped around my heart.
'Damn it...'
So this is what they call gaze rape.
I thought what I experienced on the street was gaze rape.
That was just interest, and this was real gaze rape.
It didn't feel good, and I only felt pissed off.
I didn't want to receive the interest from a woman who looked like Shimura.
Ah, the impression of a gaze changes depending on who it comes from.
It felt like I had realized one of the cruel realities of society.
Still, I asked with as much of a smile as possible. After all, she was the landlady.
"But what brings you here...?"
"Oh, don't be so cold. Do I need a reason to visit you, Se-won?"
"Haha..."
I just laughed awkwardly.
And in my mind, I cursed.
'Fuck, fuck...'
What relationship do we have? Please don't say such scary things!
I felt a chill down my spine. The cold madness of Nyarlathotep was gnawing at my body.
What was this?
Could it be that the past 'Lee Se-won' had secretly become close to her?
If that were the case, I seriously intended to kill this person. Even if it was just a memory, I would thoroughly destroy it.
Then, the memory of 'Lee Se-won' came to mind.
(Lee Se-won: Absolutely not;;;)
Fortunately, it seemed not to be the case.
Even though it was just a memory, the memories of 'Lee Se-won' were full of discomfort.
So that remark was a lie.
It was just an outdated joke from a middle-aged woman. Realizing that, I sighed in relief inside.
'Phew...'
That was a close call.
I almost had a sticky relationship with Aunt Shimura. I almost got eaten up while receiving that sticky gaze.
That woman had big breasts, but this old lady had small ones. It was truly fortunate.
As I was sighing in relief inside, she spoke again.
"Well, I came to talk about your monthly rent, Se-won."
"Ah, yes."
Hearing that, I immediately straightened my posture.
From now on, it was the real deal. First, I decided to apologize.
"That... I'm sorry. I don't have money right now. I'll pay as soon as I can."
As I bowed my head and spoke, she waved her hand in a fluster.
"No, no! It's okay. I didn't come to scold you for the overdue payment. You're still a student, Se-won, so it's an age where you might not have money. I understand."
"Ah, thank you..."
It seemed she didn't come to scold me. That was a relief.
I didn't have to worry about being kicked out onto the street right away.
As I was thinking that, she cleared her throat and continued.
"Anyway, I came about the maintenance fee, right? That's the combined amount of utilities and rent. I bundled them together so you wouldn't have to pay separately."
"Ah."
So that's why it came to a personal number. This was a good thing. Finding the electricity and water bills separately was also a hassle.
I wondered why it didn't come from the National Tax Service number, but she had separately organized and sent it.
'She' emphasized it a bit strangely, but I felt grateful.
But the good news didn't end there.
"And since Se-won seems to be having a hard time, I'll specially deduct fifty thousand won for you this time. Pay slowly."
"Oh."
This time, I genuinely bowed my head.
"Thank you!"
Fifty thousand won!
It wasn't a huge amount, but for me, who was in desperate need of every penny, it was a considerable sum.
It was like my life had been extended by five days.
Suddenly, the woman in front of me started to look like an angel.
To bear this loss out of pure goodwill (lust)!
Indeed, it's good to have some looks and charm. Sometimes good things happen like this.
As I was bowing my head,
"Yeah. I'm doing this because Se-won helps me with my work~"
Suddenly!
Her two hands suddenly grabbed one of my hands.
"Huh?"
Surprised by the sudden soft touch, I was momentarily taken aback.
Squish, squish. Her hands began to gently knead my hand.
"If you have any difficulties, just tell me... This auntie will help you with anything."
Sticky goodwill flowed through my body.
The two hands that were kneading my hand gradually moved up and now slowly stroked my arm.
Every time the skin rubbed, a chill ran down my back.
In that state, she said,
"I don't mean anything by it, I just think of you like a son."
I couldn't stand it any longer and pulled my arm away.
I was feeling a threat to my survival at that moment.
"Haha... Thank you, but I'm okay. Then I'll send the money as soon as I can!"
Saying that,
Bang!
I closed the door.
As the view was cut off, a sense of relief came over me.
"Haa... Haa..."
Wow.
Wow, fuck.
I almost got screwed.
I almost got my body eaten up. I really felt a threat to my life.
I really felt like I was about to cry.
I tried to calm my mind by thinking of good things.
"Still, she deducted fifty thousand won..."
That was fortunate.
At the exchange rate of fifty thousand won, I felt a threat to my chastity.
The cost-performance ratio was a bit off, but... where else could I find such a profit.
"Now I just need to make money."
I steadied my resolve like that.
