As it turns out, I had been walking underneath a Korean gym twice a day for the last six months on my way to the subway and back. I finally spotted it one night from a taxi on the other side of the road while scanning the tall buildings for 헬 스 (hail-suh -> health) and 피트니스 (pi-tuh-ni-suh -> fitness). I ran in and got a phone number, and had one of my Korean coworkers call the next day. It was perfect, $100 for three months, open 6am-midnight, and a minute or so walk from my house, depending on the traffic light.

I have a home again! Tuesday night, after work, my boss and one of our school managers picked me up in a car and helped me move all my big heavy suitcases and bags from the love motel to my new apartment. I now live three subway stops from work, (a 15 minute commute) and only a two minute walk away from the Kkatchisan station on line 5 and 2.
