Our protagonist, a 23-year-old full-time student, was juggling work, school, and a lion’s share of household chores for their family of seven. When their parents demanded rent, they did the math and realized they’d be better off moving out. They packed up, found an apartment, and are now enjoying their newfound freedom and independence. Meanwhile, the family is left to pick up the slack, with everyone, especially the oldest brother, feeling the strain of extra chores. While our protagonist feels a bit guilty, they stand by their decision, as it didn’t make sense to pay rent on top of all the work they were already doing.
