Bamboo Forest Manager

129 – 125. Promise

“Ugh, I’m tired.”

I had fallen asleep around 4 or 5 in the morning, so I was still feeling exhausted.

I was already on my third cup of coffee.

I felt like coffee grounds were going to start coming out of my mouth.

“Did you go to bed late yesterday?”

Even the managers could tell that I was tired, so they told me to go and rest today.

This kind of consideration is a reward for working hard, I guess.

Thanks to them, I was able to close my eyes for a bit in the employee lounge.

Of course, I couldn’t actually sleep, but I could at least get a massage while sitting in the massage chair.

“Hmm?”

I opened my eyes at the familiar voice and glanced in front of me.

There was Seo Yerim, holding a handful of snacks from the lounge and a lollipop in her mouth.

‘Oh, man.’

After what happened yesterday, she was the last person I wanted to see.

She probably knows everything that happened with Yoo Arin, so it was a little awkward to see her. I tried to pretend I didn’t see her.

“Woojin-ah!”

She came over to me, looking happy, as if she had been waiting for me.

“Are you the snack thief of the lounge?”

I asked jokingly, trying to ease the awkwardness. Seo Yerim looked down at the snacks she was holding and exclaimed, embarrassed.

“Ah, no! I was just going to eat them all here!”

“That’s not… no.”

“I’m not going to get fat! I’m eating them in moderation!”

Looking at what she was holding, I wondered if that could really be called moderation, but if that’s what she said, then so be it.

Anyway, the atmosphere itself wasn’t bad. I thought Seo Yerim would be mad at me because of yesterday, but that wasn’t the case.

‘She can’t really think of me as a s*x object, can she?’

After receiving Seo Yerim’s passionate confession last night, it wasn’t easy to just let it go.

I closed my eyes again and tried to pretend to sleep, but Seo Yerim sat down in the massage chair next to me and handed me a snack.

“Let’s eat together.”

“……I haven’t even digested lunch yet.”

“Let’s eat together anyway. Everything tastes better when you eat it together.”

She kept offering me snacks, so I had no choice but to sigh and accept.

But then, once I started eating, they were so delicious that I started eating them one after another.

“Hmm.”

She smiled with satisfaction as she watched me. I wanted to ask her why, but I decided not to.

It seemed like it would be annoying if I asked.

“Do you know that we have less than a month left?”

“Yeah, I know. Time flies by faster than I thought.”

It’s almost the end of the year.

I’ve had a lot more to do since I came to Gold One than I thought, so time has been flying by.

“We’ll be sophomores soon, too?”

“What’s going to be different?”

“We didn’t go to the freshman orientation trip, did we?”

Crunch.

I nodded as I ate a chocolate chip cookie. At the time, only Yoonji went, so I basically missed all the department events and didn’t hang out with anyone.

“Not just the orientation trip, but I didn’t participate in most of the events.”

Seo Yerim turned her body to the side and looked at me, smiling.

“Let’s go together this time. Let’s go to the orientation trip and hang out together.”

“……Can sophomores go?”

I thought orientation trips were usually for freshmen.

“Hey, I’m sure sophomores can go if they want to. We don’t have to pay attention to the freshmen, we can just hang out with each other.”

I’m a little scared to think about who this “we” includes.

“Hmm? What do you think? What do you think? Isn’t it okay?””……Think about it.”

“I’m looking forward to it!”

I thought the second-years might not like it if they went on the MT, but that thought disappeared as soon as I saw Seo Yerim, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

If it were Seo Yerim, she probably wouldn’t just welcome it, but she might even ask us to come first.

“Oh, Woojin! I heard they’re filming a movie here this time? They’re filming it with a casino background, so the actors are coming.”

“Oh, I heard. I heard that they can’t actually film in the casino, so they’re just filming at the entrance.”

How many casino patrons are there?

There was no particular merit to Gold One to the point of giving up a day’s earnings to film a movie.

It’s not like it would come out with a very good image in the first place.

“I’d like to see it!”

“Yeah, I will.”

I saw Seo Yerim getting interested in the actors when I watched the movie filming last time.

It seemed like she had been genuinely interested since that day.

‘Still.’

Not bad.

Seo Yerim becoming an actress, and spending time with these light conversations.

To put it bluntly, the atmosphere is good.

“Shall we have s*x?”

The atmosphere that I had definitely thought was good until just a moment ago flew away in an instant.

When I looked at Seo Yerim with a blank expression, she had lost her innocent and naive appearance from just a moment ago and was wearing a seductive smile.

“Hey.”

“hehehehe, I’m just kidding. It would be hard to do it here because of the noise. Maybe when everyone has left for the evening.”

It’s creepy that she’s saying it’s possible by attaching strange preconditions, as if she’s really thought about it.

“Or maybe it would be possible if I just sucked you off… Shall I do it?”

Seo Yerim’s hand slides down to my lower body. Look at her reacting to another woman’s hand right away, even though she used it so hard yesterday.

“Huh, Arin said you wouldn’t be able to do it for a week, but it’s not like that.”

“……”

I wondered if they were a little too close. What on earth do they talk about when I’m not there?

“What do you think? Do you want to do it?”

“……”

Seo Yerim is definitely the most s*xually knowledgeable woman I’ve ever met.

I don’t know how many porn videos she’s watched, but she knows too well what situations men get excited in.

Plus, she has the looks to spare to fulfill fantasy situations.

I mutter to myself, wondering who could resist her temptation.

Just before I unzipped my pants, I asked Seo Yerim one last time, hoping she would give me an honest answer.

“You said you wanted to have s*x first on purpose, didn’t you.”

“……”

“You knew I would refuse s*x first, so you said you really wanted to do it next?”

Honestly, I didn’t think it was an unreasonable suspicion, and Seo Yerim’s rounded smile told me I was right.

Ziiip.

The zipper is unzipped.

I wondered how she would do it, but Seo Yerim took off her panties much more skillfully than I thought.

“What, what did you just do?”

I asked her without realizing it, and Seo Yerim knelt down in front of the massage chair without saying anything.

“Shall I start the massage?”

And then, the moment she slowly pulls out my thing.

“Hey, Kim Woojin! How many minutes are you going to rest for! Let me rest too!”

Yoo Arin, who came into the break room with a frown.

“Huh? You didn’t sleep well? I didn’t sleep well either! In the first place, I’m more…!”

The situation where we met each other.Fortunately, it was Yuarin, and a cold sensation started to spread through my head.

‘She’s crazy.’

I realized that I had been momentarily blinded by Seoyerin’s seduction.

The only fortunate thing was that it was Yuarin who had caught me, and that my thing hadn’t been taken out yet…

Swish.

“……?”

I had clearly seen Yuarin come in, but Seoyerin deliberately took out my thing, held it in her hand for a moment, and laughed.

“Fortunately, it’s Arin.”

As if to show it off.

“Are you crazy!? This is the break room!”

“I know. I’ll have to be more careful from now on.”

Seoyerin took a step back to allow me to pull up my pants. Yuarin’s gaze, which I felt as I zipped up, was bone-chillingly cold.

“From now on?”

Her words left a lingering echo, and my shoulders involuntarily twitched, but Yuarin’s sullen eyes made my mouth shut involuntarily.

“Sigh, Yerina, you said you were leaving early.”

The sigh was directed at me, but the fact that she called Seoyerin made me feel like she had given up on talking to me.

“I left work? I was waiting for you to leave work.”

“……”

Yuarin’s mouth snapped shut for a moment.

She glanced at me and hesitated as if she was embarrassed, and a strange atmosphere flowed.

“I see… I’ll be leaving in an hour, so just wait a little longer.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

Seoyerin smiled broadly.

It seemed like the two of them had an appointment, and I felt like I had become an outsider in an instant.

“What’s going on?”

I asked because I was curious about what the two of them were up to, and both of their gazes shot towards me at the same time.

Seoyerin was breathing hard, and Yuarin was glaring at me with her arms crossed and her face flushed.

“Do you want to join us, Woojin?”

“W, what are you talking about! No! Go do your work!”

“What? Are you guys going to eat something delicious?”

“Go to work!”

In the end, I was pushed out of the break room by Yuarin. I could hear the two of them talking inside, but I didn’t think I should interrupt, so I just left.

* * *

‘She really left.’

Yuarin, who had left work early and gone with Seoyerin. To be honest, I thought she might spend some time with me after what happened yesterday, but they both seemed to be in a hurry, so I didn’t bother them.

‘What is this?’

I felt a sense of emptiness as I left work, feeling like a dog that had been abandoned.

“Woojin!”

Yeongyeong and Iseoa ran up to me in a hurry.

Usually, when she came looking for me like this, it wasn’t anything good, and it was just as I expected.

“Do you have any time at the end of the year?”

“What? Do you want me to change my work hours?”

I thought that since she had a boyfriend, she would be asking me for something like that.

“No, let’s go see a play together.”

“A play?”

“Yeah, I was supposed to go with my boyfriend, but he said he couldn’t.”

“……”

“Yeah? Please. Let’s go together. Let’s just take one picture.”

Sigh.

“I told you last time. Don’t get me involved in your fights with your boyfriend.”

“Ha, but…!”

“I remember Yuarin saying something like that too. Does Yuarin know about this?”

“……”

Iseoa pursed her lips tightly.No matter how bad the atmosphere was with my boyfriend, provoking jealousy like that was not a good direction for a relationship.

“My boyfriend said he couldn’t come because of a club meeting.”

When I told her that, Lee Seo-ah sighed deeply and asked me pleadingly.

“Please? I heard that most of the club members are girls! I’m really nervous!”

“……”

It was a little pathetic to see how much she liked her boyfriend. I wondered if her boyfriend might be taking her for granted because he thought she was already his.

“Haah.”

Even as I looked at her sad face, my heart didn’t soften, and I wondered how I could refuse her.

“I have an appointment.”

A familiar voice came from behind me. I turned my head, wondering if I had heard it correctly.

“She has an appointment with me.”

A beige coat with a white sweater. The scarf around her neck had a unique warmth that could only be felt in winter.

Long, dark blue hair and an elegant smile that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Choi, Seo…?”

Before I knew it, I called out to her, and Choi Seo raised her hand slightly in greeting.

“We’re going to a concert.”
