I - Know my name
When I FallShe had lived the last four years of her life paying off the debts and bills they had. Ever since her father stopped working because of an injury and since her mom wasn’t able to finish studying, she was only able to get a few jobs but it was just enough to pay their apartment, water bill and electric bill.

“Here’s the catch, you have to live with him during the weekends and you can still work here in the cafe and your other jobs,”
“Unnie, why me?”
“Bbom-ah, you need this. He’s a close friend of ours, we don’t want him to be in the hands of someone we could not trust and it’s only for two months,” Chorong patted Bomi’s head.
“What if he won’t like me? What if he’s a ert? What if he’s not that handsome? I’m not being choosy but--”
