Bamboo Forest Manager

184 – 178. Anonymous

I wondered where the second group went, but it was a small pocha.

There weren’t many people, and the atmosphere was calm, so it wasn’t bad.

However, just the fact that the English literature students were inside was enough to make me hear their boisterous chatter from outside.

‘I don’t want to go in.’

Honestly, it was obvious what kind of comments and stares I would receive if I went inside.

It’s not common for three people to do it, and everyone knows that Yoo Ah-rin and I are usually close.

They must be excitedly speculating who I, Yoo Ah-rin, and the other person are.

‘It’s a good thing Seo Ye-rin didn’t come.’

If she had come and folded her hands, wouldn’t she have been identified right away?

Choi Yi-seo followed after Joo-hee sunbae, who was leading the way.

“What are you doing, come in.”

As I hesitated in front, Yoo Ah-rin pushed my back and forced me to go inside.

“Are you okay? They’re probably going to gossip and dissect us?”

I asked because it was obvious that they would be talking about Yoo Ah-rin as well as me, but I wondered if I really had to go in there.

She replied with a sly smile.

“That’s good. I’m just confirming the kill on those who are annoying you for no reason. Who would dare to mess with someone who’s in a threesome?”

“That’s true, but… is there anyone who would dare to mess with someone like me?”

“What are you talking about, you’re the one who confessed to three people.”

“……”

That’s true.

“I’m surprisingly okay-“

“Ah, shut up and come in. What’s the problem with the people you see at university? You’ll all break up after graduation anyway.”

Why has she become so bold?

“What kind of growth have you gone through?”

Is this the same Yoo Ah-rin who used to suffer and struggle because of Pyo Jin-ho?

Is this the same woman who used to be awkward and uncomfortable because she was dating Jung Chan-woo?

As I was surprised by her bold ambition that didn’t care about what others thought, she gave me a sly wink.

“I’m going to be the wife of a chaebol, so I need to have this much guts.”

“I’m only a chaebol in name.”

“What can I do? I don’t expect you to make a lot of money. I was just saying.”

“……”

“If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just become an influencer. I still get contacted about the shorts from last time. Not just influencers, but broadcasting companies are also interested.”

“Ah, that’s.”

It was strange.

Seo Ye-rin is fine because she has already decided on her career path.

However, I felt uncomfortable at the thought of Yoo Ah-rin acting cute and flirtatious in front of people she doesn’t know.

Is it especially because I saw the depths of the internet broadcasting industry when I was with the gangsters last time?

I felt dirty at the thought of Yoo Ah-rin being exposed to viewers who often made s*xually suggestive or inappropriate comments.

“That, I don’t think broadcasting is a good idea.”

I tried to tell Yoo Ah-rin subtly without showing my feelings.

“Huh.”

The corners of her mouth turned up into a smile.

“You bastard, if you were going to be possessive, you should have confessed to me instead of three people.”

“Ahem.”

“Oh, you selfish bastard. Anyway, I’m being shared, but I’m not supposed to be shared, so you’re a brat, a brat.”

She said those words, but her hand that was pulling me into the bar was affectionate, and her voice was slightly raised, so she seemed to be in a good mood.

“Then I guess I’ll have to find something else to do.”

“We’re only sophomores.”

“There are a lot of people who start preparing as sophomores.”

As we talked about this and that and went inside, I saw the English literature students talking at a long table.

“No, did you really have a threesome? You’re not just kidding because you saw Ah-rin folding her hands?”

“But Ah-rin is close to Kim Woo-jin.”

“Wow, that’s really shocking. Why is everyone becoming an adult except me?”

“What about Yi-seo? Weren’t you dating Yi-seo? That’s what I thought.”

“That’s why she brought him. Explain what you mean.”

“Who are the three? Who is it besides Ah-rin? Or maybe Ah-rin is the one who… who is it? Maybe she did it with the handsome guy from the construction engineering department.”

“Chan-woo? That’s right. Two guys and Ah-rin-“

“That’s crossing the line.”

As I stared at them with cold eyes, they felt my gaze and immediately shut their mouths.

“Wow, you’re here?””Welcome!”

The atmosphere was welcoming, but the conversation stopped abruptly and the bar fell silent.

‘You came.’

Seeing that, I thought it was a good idea to come, just like Joohee sunbae said.

If I hadn’t come, it would have been hard to imagine how the rumors would have spread.

I didn’t think they would think I did it with Chanwoo and the other two.

I thought my image had improved among the sophomores, but it seems like it’s back to square one.

The seniors, well, they’ve always hated me, so they’re already gossiping.

From Noble mtl dot com

“How can she be so shameless?”

“What did she say… Oh, man, those kids can’t tell the difference between games and anime and reality?”

“Aren’t they just playing with the kids? Borrowing money from their parents and giving them each a luxury item?”

“Wow, I’ve heard of that. Kids who spend a lot of money to get girls and end up getting into debt.”

“They’re just disposable. They’ll probably sell their organs later.”

Wow.

I thought they were doing some kind of rap.

I was sticking my tongue out as I watched them diss as if it was nothing.

“Those damn b*tches.”

Yooarin, who had just sat down, jumped up.

I stopped Yooarin, who was about to run at them.

“Hey, hey. Hold on. Just hold on.”

At my words, Choi Yiseo and Joohee sunbae looked at me with surprised expressions.

“You’re the best at fighting when you’re like this.”

“What’s wrong with you, Woojin?”

Yooarin, who was being held back by me, bit her lip and got really annoyed.

“I’m just going to listen to that crap? Are you kidding me?”

“Then go and fight them yourself? It’ll only make your image worse.”

“What does my image matter? Honestly… It’s because of me that you’re being cursed at right now.”

Is that what she thought?

I shook my head, holding Yooarin’s hand tightly, thinking that she had made a mistake.

“It’s okay because I know.”

There’s no point in fighting here anyway.

I know because I’ve done this so many times.

Even if I fight like a madman, they’ll end up saying whatever they want to say and doing whatever they want to do.

I fought with my seniors last year, and all I got back was the hateful stares of the freshmen.

That’s what rumors are.

“I’ll stay still since you’re holding back…”

Joohee sunbae is mumbling.

It’s quite threatening to see her clenching and unclenching her fists.

“….”

Choi Yiseo also seems to be displeased, staring at the seniors.

“There’s a way to do everything. Just wait.”

I got up and walked towards the seniors.

“Why?”

“What are you going to do?”

“Oh, it smells like a country boy.”

The seniors, both boy and girl, immediately started cursing at me. They’ve always hated me, so they’re taking this opportunity to curse me out.

“Um. No, it’s nothing.”

After looking around, I returned to my seat.

When I came back without doing anything, they cursed me out even more.

My side greeted me with bewildered expressions.

“I thought you were going to flip the table.”

“I was worried about what would happen if you hit them.”

I shook my head with a smile at Yooarin and Choi Yiseo’s worries.

“Don’t worry. I’m a married man with a child now.”

“Kill that bastard.”

“I can’t stand him for more than 5 minutes.”

The next afternoon.

The bamboo forest was in chaos.

– Anonymous46: The world is so unfair. Some trashy guy is living his college life, playing around with girls.

The post was so obviously intended.

I still remembered that Anonymous46 was the number of the English literature senior who had attacked me at the tripe restaurant last time.

As soon as the firewood was added, the bamboo forest naturally started to burn.

↳ Anonymous83: ? Who?

↳ Anonymous54: I need to get some popcorn.

↳ Anonymous276: This is the first sniper of the bamboo forest season this year.

↳ Anonymous46 (writer): ㅇㅁㄱㄱㅇㅈ

↳ Anonymous175: It’s English literature. How come there’s never a quiet day in English literature?

↳ Anonymous88: Mom, I’ll never go to English literature even if I’m reborn.

↳ Anonymous69: s*x?

↳ Anonymous31: The bastard who folded after drinking yesterday and having a threesome?↳ Anonymous249: Threesome? F*ck, why are you guys having fun without me?

↳ Anonymous361: Wow, they said college would be really debauched, and it really is.

↳ Anonymous46 (writer): That’s right.

↳ Anonymous408: But why me…

↳ Anonymous11: At this point, the English literature kids should just drop out of school. It’s getting ridiculous.

↳ Anonymous243: What anime is this? Can you tell me the title?

↳ Anonymous44: Single and Happy GaHyun University Threesome Ghost Story-

‘It’s been a while since they’ve been writing so diligently in the bamboo forest.’

The speed at which the posts are being updated is certainly fast, and the content that’s being posted is no joke.

– Anonymous198: Wow, I’ve never been jealous of anyone before, but this is really making me jealous. I’m so jealous!

– Anonymous427: What’s that person’s name? I want to go and learn how to date.

– Anonymous26: It’s just complete trash.

– Anonymous7: Anonymous46, what’s your real name?

↳ Anonymous31: Are you the main character of that post?

– Anonymous243: There are no harems in real life, so I came to anime. However, I was mistaken. The ideal world does exist.

↳ Anonymous11: Stop watching anime and live like a human being, you little punk.

– Anonymous435: I really don’t understand, what’s the problem? They’re just having fun among themselves, right? Why are you guys so interested in other people’s private lives?

– Anonymous90: I want to have s*x!

↳ Anonymous309: This guy is really doing it.

– Anonymous402: Even though someone is making a big fuss about getting a boyfriend, they’re having s*x with two guys.

↳ Anonymous315: Isn’t that a man?

↳ Anonymous402 (writer): I don’t know if it’s a man or a woman.

– Anonymous69: Did you really do a proper fact check?

↳ Anonymous44: ?

↳ Anonymous198: ??

↳ Anonymous354: ???

↳ Anonymous90: ??????

↳ Anonymous11: What the hell. You could have said it without adding the word ‘s*x’.

– Anonymous407: The losers who only talk big in anonymous communities, what are they barking about again? Do you believe that? You’re sick.

↳ Anonymous113: Here we go again.

↳ Anonymous39: Don’t feed the trolls.

↳ Anonymous11: Look at yourself, you’re saying that in an anonymous community. You’re spitting in your own face.

As I was blankly looking at my phone, I received a message from Yoo Ah-rin.

– Yoo Ah-rin: I’m watching it. What are you going to do? Should I delete everything?

– Kim Woo-jin: Don’t delete it. Leave it. I’ll take care of it.

Starting with the first sniper, Anonymous46, those guys are continuing to spread rumors about me while giving me more material.

As I was watching the various comments come and go,

“I brought you here to study, so why aren’t you studying and doing something else?”

Choi Yi-seo, who was sitting across from me and engrossed in her studies, looked at me with disapproval.

I had only agreed to meet her because I said I would study.

“Yi-seo, let me borrow your phone for a second.”

“My phone?”

Honestly, I thought I would have a hard time getting it from her.

Surprisingly, Choi Yi-seo handed me her phone without much thought.

“Everything’s fine. Just don’t look at the messages. There are a lot of people badmouthing you.”

“……You still haven’t deleted the Bamboo Forest app?”

I was about to reinstall it.

“Hmm? Oh, I forgot.”

Choi Yi-seo focused back on her studies without any further reaction.

The permanent suspension had already been lifted.

I used that to write a post.

– Anonymous287: There’s a rumor that he’s the son of a conglomerate chairman. Can he handle this sniping?

Naturally, the response was explosive.

↳ Anonymous11: ? That’s a load of crap.

↳ Anonymous198: Wow, that’s crazy. Does Bamboo Forest delete posts?

↳ Anonymous337: If it’s a threesome, didn’t they all agree to it? Why is everyone else making a fuss?

↳ Anonymous7: ????

↳ Anonymous161: Delete the post quickly. If that gets captured, you’re really screwed.

↳ Anonymous245: Lol, this is so much fun.

↳ Anonymous417: All the sniper posts have been taken down. It’s so fast, it’s creepy.

The sniper posts were actually taken down.

But could I just sit here and do nothing?

I went back to my phone and left a message in a 1:1 inquiry.

– Administrator: Hello, Anonymous46. The head of the legal team just called.

Since I used the administrator account, I knew right away that this wasn’t something I could just ignore.

– Anonymous46: Yes? The legal team? No, this quickly?

– Administrator: That’s why I’m a little confused too. But they said they’re not going to let this go. They said they’re definitely going to take this to court.- Anonymous46: What did I say that I could be sued for? This is ridiculous.

– Admin: I don’t know about that either. For now, what they’re asking for is-

One by one, I’ll diligently let you know that your life sucks.

Isn’t it funny?

Those who hide behind anonymity and spout whatever they want to say.

Those who wield the sword of words without a care in the world.

The moment they hear that they should come out into the real world, they start to tremble.

‘Anonymity is not a mask that hides oneself.’

It’s another face that represents oneself.

In the end, it’s oneself, so one can’t help but bear the responsibility.

‘I need to let them know properly.’

Even if I fight them head-on, it’ll just end as a happening.

If I show them the difference in our weight classes, they won’t think about messing with me anymore.

Of course, there may be all sorts of talk about me being a corporate chairman with a delinquent son.

But won’t my capable father and brother take care of that?

Just like my father said.

I’m selfish, that’s all.

“Are you really not studying?”

“I am. Here, my phone. I changed the background image to me.”

“……I feel like I’m going to accidentally break your phone.”

Choi Iseo accepted it with a pout.

She glanced at the background image and forced a smile before continuing her studies.
