Bamboo Forest Manager

11 – 11. Karaoke Room

“Haah! Haah!”

Taking deep breaths, Seo Yerin is in agony. Sweat drips down after a long time. Although it was tough, a refreshing and proud feeling arises after it’s all over.

“You’ve worked hard. For a beginner, your posture is amazing, so I was surprised.”

“R-really?”

Seo Yerin, who is used to compliments, was different when it came to moving her body.

Receiving compliments for exercising like this made her smile with pride, as it was the first time.

“Thank you, I’m really enjoying today too.”

Under the recommendation of her overachieving friend Choi Eseo, Seo Yerin ended up receiving personal training. Thanks to that, she met a female personal trainer who has a good personality and teaches the exercises in detail.

Explaining why certain movements or using exercise equipment is necessary, she explains each one in detail, which resonated with Seo Yerin.

While showering and glancing at herself in the mirror, Seo Yerin reflects on her body.

Even though she just started exercising, she feels like something has changed.

“Hm, hehehe.”

She always thought her body was fairly good. She didn’t exercise, but she took care of her diet every day and did some simple stretching.

The personal trainer complimented her, saying that her body is really beautiful for someone who doesn’t exercise.

‘Isn’t it? Are you alright?’

But who is there to face someone like this?

‘A knock?’

Hoo.

Seo Yerin grumbles for no reason, recalling the message she received from the administrator.

Although she is an expressionless person, because of that, she can show a side of herself that can’t be shown to anyone.

She can reveal her true nature, even to her parents who know nothing about their daughter.

That was comforting.

In the end, the fact that she could reveal herself to someone who didn’t even know who she was was so comforting and liberating.

The administrator, who she hasn’t exchanged a few words with.

He’s probably a man. He didn’t bother denying anything about being her boyfriend.

She doesn’t know what grade he’s in or what major he’s in, but she actually liked that.

“hehehehe.”

Come to think of it, she hadn’t been able to go into the bamboo forest for a few days because she was busy with assignments.

She quickly enters the bamboo forest, eager to write, her fingers itching. After washing her hands, she dries her hair and turns on the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is the same as usual.

When she looked down, there were a few people who missed her and were glad she was gone, saying vulgar things.

It’s not impossible to have friendly interactions in the community, so-called bamboo forest.

But ultimately, because they are all university students, there aren’t many people who are close even in the community.

And it wasn’t easy to become a famous person, as the nicknames were all anonymous with numbers attached to them.

“Am I famous?”

She felt a slight excitement in her shoulders, thinking that she had become a famous person called ‘s*x Left’ in the bamboo forest.

She was curious about what the administrator would think when he saw this, and she was also looking forward to it.

He’s probably sighing just like he did with the messages he sent to her.

“Heh.”

Thinking about that made her feel even better. It’s like an elementary school student messing around with someone they like.

“Then I guess I have to inform them of my return.”

Look here!

Open the door!

s*x Left has returned!

As she tapped on the keyboard of her phone in the gym changing room, wearing only underwear.

Han Kang Senior: Yerin, are you done with your workout?

“… “

The thrill that had been rising rapidly quickly dissipated. She didn’t feel good about returning to reality.

Come to think of it, she had ignored the call earlier, saying she was coming to the gym to work out.

She was obviously showing that she wasn’t interested, so why was he acting like this?

Seo Yerin sighed, but couldn’t bring herself to say those words.

Seo Yerin: Yes, I’m done.

-Han Kang Senior: The kids are planning to go to the karaoke room, want to come along?

Karaoke room?

She did like it.

In her heart, she wanted to sing the anime song she had seen yesterday, but that would just ruin the atmosphere.

And the fact that it was Han Kang Senior asking was not very appealing.

However.

-Minwoo Senior: Yerin, what are you doing right now?

-Jinseong Senior: Hey.

Jeongmin Senior: I want to go home. I’m in class. Where are you?

Seo Yerin sighed as she confirmed the flood of messages that came in while she was exercising.

There were seniors who had confessed politely but firmly declined, and there were also seniors who had not given up yet.

“I should speak clearly…”

But she couldn’t.

She wanted to sternly tell them to stop messaging her, but if she did, she didn’t know how it would affect her image in the department.

Han Kang Senior: The department kids are all here too. We’re hanging out with the student council members.

Han Kang Senior seemed like the best option. The student council was also there.

“Thank goodness it’s worked out since Seohan introduced me to PT.”

If it was the student council, then there would be other close friends besides Choi Iseo.

Seo Yerin: Yes, I’ll go.

In the end, Seo Yerin typed with a poker face, keeping her true feelings hidden.

“Phew.”

She swept her slightly damp hair back and shouted as she reentered the bamboo forest.

– Anonymous69: Ah, I really want to have s*x!

The roar of the return of the s*x master was truly magnificent.

↳ Anonymous90: You’ve returned, JOAT!

↳ Anonymous11: Damn, the forum is going to get dirty again. What is the administrator doing?

↳ Anonymous69 (author): Daughter.

↳ Anonymous123: hahahahaha

↳ Anonymous75: Now even the administrator is taking the Truth Room.

↳ Anonymous69 (author): Getting ready to devour right from the Truth Room.

↳ Anonymous82: Wasn’t he blocked? Or will he get blocked again?

↳ Anonymous90: The Dark Knight of the modern age who even satisfies the administrator! The JOAT of desire!

↳ Anonymous11: These kind of people are usually losers who can’t even visit brothels. No, seriously, what is the administrator doing?

“Oh, so many replies?”

Usually, it’s just obvious spam posts so I ignored them, but today the response rate is good.

↳ Anonymous69 (author): I’m getting satisfied under the administrator.

Since I didn’t mention specifically what it is, I shouldn’t get blocked.

The administrator knows that blocking themselves will only make them more tired.

“Ah…”

Anonymous69 doesn’t have to worry about other people’s emotions or reactions.

“It’s interesting.”

Certainly, Anonymous69 was Seo Yerin herself.

Why? She wanted to become Anonymous69.

* * *

What is it?

Why am I here?

Although I had doubts, I needed to face the current situation.

I am now in a karaoke room, spending time with English and student council members and seniors.

“Don’t forget-ot-ot! Da-a! I’ve come to see you!”

The sight of the accounting student singing loudly is impressive. He looked quiet with glasses on, but he changed when he grabbed the microphone.

I feel sorry that I still can’t remember his name even though it’s already the second semester.

“I’m sorry.”

Choi Iseo, sitting next to me, whispered to me.

I’m sorry.

Of course, I should apologize.

“Don’t look at me. He’s glaring at us.”

An Hyunho, who was hanging out with the seniors on the opposite side, was watching the two of us with snake-like eyes.

He must be worried that we might do something.

“…I’m sorry about that too.”

Choi Iseo also seemed to be aware that An Hyunho has feelings for her.

But because of our positions as seniors and juniors, she couldn’t reject him outright.

Well, it’s a little late, but let me explain why I ended up in this situation.

After having a meal at the salad restaurant Choi Iseo recommended, we were on our way home when we coincidentally ran into this group.

We had to join them in order to deny the fact that we were on a date.

If we refused to go there, it would seem like we were bothering their time and they would feel bad about it.

“We’ll just stay for a while and then leave.”

Just like what happened at the bar last time, we can slip away in the middle.

“Iseo! Seriously, you’re the only one who wasn’t invited! You know that, right? We were just gathering as members of the student council!”

“I know, I know.”

“Really? You’re not upset, right? I’m really disappointed if you are. It can’t be helped. Let’s hang out together later!”

“Stop it. I saw you texted me. I didn’t see it because I was eating.”

Choi Iseo started to be bothered by other girls from the same student council, so it seemed like a good timing to get up.

“Hello.”

When the karaoke room door opened, Seo Yerin entered. Even just her coming in brought a warm scent that filled the heated karaoke room.

“Yerin, come over here.”

Seo Yerin sat down energetically on the seat next to Han Gang, the organizer of this gathering.

Yerin looked uncomfortable already, probably because she was suddenly pulled over.

Since there were many people who were not a part of the student council, Yerin joining did not seem strange.

Excited university students, who had been drinking, crowded around like hyenas when a pretty girl arrived.

“Yerin, can you sing well?”

“I’m curious. Can you sing for us once?”

“Did you eat dinner?”

The fact that he came back after showering seems to stimulate the hearts of the boys, making them more proactive than usual.

*ahem*

However, there is a huge river flowing in front of her.

Han River senior clears away each and every competitor who clings to Seo E-rin, with a fake cough and a friendly smile.

“Yerin, you said you came back after exercising. Wasn’t it tough?”

He openly appeals, saying that they have been in contact separately through the information that she exercised and came back.

It was a boast that she herself is different from others because she also contacts Yerin separately.

“Really shameless.”

Is this a fight among males?

It’s very intense.

Meanwhile, Ahn Hyun-ho also looks at Seo Yerin lightly, which is funny.

After poking Choi Yeseo’s arm, which is plagued by girls, with her finger, she points at Ahn Hyun-ho with her chin.

She smiled and said that she should see for herself the fact that the guy who likes her is looking at another girl.

“Don’t tease me.”

Ahn Hyun-ho just glanced and said nothing, but he clenches his lips, glaring at me who teased him.

I thought it would end there, but he even gave me a big punch with his fist.

“Is it because of exercising?”

It hurts more than I thought.

I should just stay still and not provoke him.

Thinking that way, I tried to find the timing to leave again, but Seo Yerin is being overly lively again.

“Wow! Yerin is singing!”

“Han Ho-jun, stop the singing! Ugh, that jerk sang a ballad and ruined the atmosphere!”

“What are you going to sing?”

Given a karaoke remote control, Seo Yerin looked down at it with a troubled expression.

Although she didn’t seem to want to sing, she looked troubled because of the pressure from others.

Choi Yeseo also tried to stop Seo Yerin because she seemed uncomfortable, but it didn’t quite work.

Finally, just as Seo Yerin was about to press the button.

Buzz!

The vibration came from Seo Yerin’s phone placed next to her. The person who saw it rushed to grab it with a trembling shoulder.

A faint smile appeared on Seo Yerin’s lips as she quickly checked her phone.

“I have an important call, so I’ll be back in a moment.”

Yerin Seo quickly stood up and walked past people to go outside.

“Oh, what is it?”

“Ha, bad timing.”

“But why do you look so excited about the call?”

“Did a package arrive?”

“Is it your boyfriend?”

“Oh please, don’t tell me.”

Regardless, the members of Namjeong were disappointed that they couldn’t hear Yerin’s song.

I wonder what the call was about.

Only I know that.

Because I sent it.

-Admin: Do you want to die for real?

-Admin: Reply within 10 seconds, or you’ll be permanently banned.

After the person who posted on the bulletin board made malicious comments about me, I purposely contacted them through a private inquiry.

Originally, I thought about ignoring it.

“Sigh.”

I felt pity for the men who were cowering, as they didn’t know what to do. Even Yerin, who received help, probably didn’t know. I felt somewhat proud of helping someone in need.

The reply from Yerin came immediately on my muted phone.

-Anonymous69: You idiot, Admin, you idiot!!

“Damn it.”

Maybe I shouldn’t have helped for no reason.
