Using the key the landlord gave me, I finally opened the door that was starting to rust. The first thing that hit me was a slightly stale smell.
If I had to describe it, it was probably the smell of a damp mat that started to mold.
Fortunately, the smell wasn't strong and was tolerable.
This room on the second floor was very small. Although it wasn't as big as a capsule apartment, excluding the counter, closet, and simple toilet cubicles, the area should be less than three square meters. There was also a balcony facing the sun opposite the door. Because of the office building in front, it probably couldn't get much sunlight from day to night, but it was better than nothing.
At least I didn't have to dry the laundry in the room.
There was almost no furniture in the room. Aside from the counter and closet that were already part of the room, there were only two sockets and a fluorescent lamp on the ceiling. There was only a low table sitting in the middle of the room, giving people a feeling of loneliness.
I took off my sneakers at the entrance and stepped on the tatami-like floor. This novel experience finally made me, Roo, a 16 year old high school student, feel like I had left home.
I struggled to drag the large suitcase behind me into the room and casually placed it in a corner. I laid on the floor and lazily stared at the ceiling in a daze.
The wooden ceiling covered in black spots was the same as the walls that were a mess. It silently told me how shabby the apartment was.
But there was no helping it, I didn't have much money on hand. You should know that before I saw the advertisement, I was already mentally prepared to sleep in the park.
Therefore, this cheap apartment was a very good place for me to settle down.
After all …
— — I was kicked out by my parents.
