Chapter 1: Exam (1)
“Uugh...”
I groaned, holding my head as I sat up. A pounding headache washed over me.
But we were way past the point where I could just laugh it off with a “Guess I’m a damn dog when I drink again.” No—this hangover, I had to face head-on.
“Huh?”
Still half-dazed, I got up and headed to the bathroom, out of habit. Only... there wasn’t one.
There was a wall where the bathroom should be.
I thought maybe I’d just gotten turned around, but no—my room was way too small for that kind of mistake.
And the layout... it wasn’t my usual one-room apartment. Not even close.
The mirror was old and cracked, the table was scratched to hell, and the wardrobe looked like it was ready to fall apart at any second.
Yeah, I might be broke—but not this broke.
“What the hell?”
Was I kidnapped or something? But come on, who the hell would go through the trouble of kidnapping some dude living in a shoebox apartment?
