Bamboo Forest Manager

187 – 181. A Strange Day

Life.

There are times when unique and strange things come to you, but what’s important is the timing.

Unexpectedly, a non-daily situation comes to you, and it feels like it’s testing your senses, mental, or reaction speed.

If I had to say, today was that kind of day for me.

I was brushing my teeth and blankly looking at the mirror.

A day without lectures.

Thanks to my kind 3rd year neighbors and seniors who took all my assignments, I had a day off more than other students.

It was time to prepare for the midterms, so I sat down to study.

But before I knew it, I found myself turning on my laptop and playing a game.

After I stopped playing the game and managed the bamboo forest, I found myself watching PpoPpo’s broadcast.

The civil engineering kids vandalized the bamboo forest with PpoPpo’s broadcast, so I deleted all the writing and went to see PpoPpo for the first time in a while.

‘She’s doing well.’

She was eating a hamburger and talking about various things.

Her complexion was much better than before, and she smiled a lot more, which was nice to see.

– Yes? Is this lunch? No, it’s breakfast. I woke up late. Oh, no. I’ll eat lunch soon.

[I love you, noona.]

– Oh my! PpoPpoLove, thank you for the 100 coin donation! I love you too?

PpoPpo’s reaction to the donation was rather bland.

She got an earful from Hwangsajang because of that, but she was stubborn about her broadcast style.

“Hmm.”

Normally, I would have just turned it off.

Maybe it was because I had studying for the test waiting for me, but before I knew it, I was sending coins with my Kim Woojin ID.

I had some left over from when I used to give orders to the kids when I was with Hwangsajang.

[Fighting]

– Yes, Kim Woojin, 10 coins, thank you…….

PpoPpo, who was blankly looking at the screen, rubbed her eyes and grabbed the mouse.

It seemed like she was searching for my profile.

– Yes? Why? No, it’s nothing. I just thought you were someone I knew.

PpoPpo awkwardly smiled and continued to move the mouse.

– Oh, it looks like my lunch delivery is here. Yes? Did you order more? Then I’ll just eat it here?

– Stop shaking the cola because I’m not being threatened. You can’t drink it if you shake the cola.

PpoPpo playfully said as she went off screen. I also turned off the broadcast and prepared to study again.

Woong!

– PpoPpo: It’s been a while.

I got a message.

– Kim Woojin: Broadcast. The kids vandalized the bamboo forest so much that I went to see it once.

– PpoPpo: Then I should tell them to vandalize it more.

– Kim Woojin: Please don’t.

Those civil engineering kids.

– PpoPpo: I’m going back to school in the 2nd semester. I decided to go back with the boss.

– Kim Woojin: Really? I might be able to see you if I do well.

– PpoPpo: I’m a 3rd year.

– Kim Woojin: ……Can you call me oppa?

– PpoPpo: I’ll buy you food if you do.

– Kim Woojin: No. You’re basically 5 people.

We chatted briefly.

Anyway, it seemed like Yoonji and Little Bro were taking good care of PpoPpo, so it seemed like there weren’t any problems anymore.

I also briefly looked at the chats, and most of them were tame, maybe because she was on the news for being kidnapped.

“Ah, I really need to study.”

I closed my laptop and put it to the side.

Just like I exercised for Seoyerin, I thought I would study to get on Choi Iseul’s good side this time.

I really started studying.

Knock knock.

Someone came to my room.

“Who is it?”

I directed my resentment towards whoever interrupted my studies.

I was just starting to get really focused.

“Senior, it’s me, Gyuah.”

“Yes, there’s no one here, so go away.”“……I also bought some bread for you, senior.”

“I don’t eat bread.”

“Senior? Let’s talk for a bit.”

“No, you iguana b*tch.”

I replied, genuinely annoyed.

Bang!

There was a loud noise as if someone had kicked the door open.

“Let’s talk! You ruined my image because of you, senior? Because you were caught two-timing?”

“That’s your fault!”

“Sigh.”

I guess she’s not wrong.

She was the one who targeted me first and tried to snipe me.

“Senior…… Actually, I’ve been thinking a lot about you, seniors?”

Her voice turned a bit serious.

“I also, I wanted to fall head over heels for someone. That’s why…….”

“Sorry, but my heart is already taken.”

“Are you crazy? What do you like about the senior? Please help me get close to senior Hyunho.”

“…….”

I’ve drunk kimchi soup.

I sighed and went outside to see Gyu-ah holding a loaf of bread.

“Your bread sense is really bad. I don’t even have jam in my room.”

“I just eat bread plain.”

Whatever.

“You want to get close to Hyunho?

When I asked her that, Gyu-ah nodded slightly.

“It’s going to be difficult.”

Hyunho already seemed to have lost interest in Gyu-ah.

……But why are there so many victims and perpetrators of two-timing around me?

Is college originally like this?

“That’s why I came to you for advice, senior. You were okay with openly declaring that you were going to three-time.”

“I guess you didn’t see me get hit.”

I got hit so hard I lost consciousness.

Just then.

“Woojin-ah?”

Choi Yiseo’s voice came from the end of the hallway, coming up the stairs.

I reflexively tried to knock Gyu-ah over, but she had already slipped behind me.

“……You have good reflexes?”

“I’ve been hit once or twice.”

“What are you doing?”

I hesitated for a moment before giving Choi Yiseo, who was looking at us with a dumbfounded expression, a clear explanation.

“The hallway floor is dirty, so I was going to clean it.”

“Hmm?”

“So I asked the freshmen to bring me a mop, but they brought Gyu-ah instead? hahahaha.”

“F*cking b*tch.”

Gyu-ah cursed from the side, but it didn’t matter.

Even if I was called a piece of human garbage, it was fine as long as Choi Yiseo didn’t misunderstand me.

“That’s not funny, and it’s rude. Apologize to Gyu-ah.”

However, Choi Yiseo scolded me instead of misunderstanding me.

“I’m sorry.”

“Then are you going to help me? You promised?”

I was about to say something else, but Gyu-ah ran away.

“Help you with what?”

I gave Choi Yiseo, who was puzzled, a brief explanation.

Hyunho had been after Gyu-ah, but he gave up. Now, on the contrary, Gyu-ah was after Hyunho.

Choi Yiseo’s expression brightened when she heard that.

“That’s great! It would be good if Hyunho dated!”

“……I can see that you like the opportunity to break them up.”

“Mean.”

Choi Yiseo, who coughed awkwardly, slyly handed me the lunchbox she had brought.

“You said you were studying. I made you food because I felt sorry for you.”

“Oh?”

“It’s pork belly pilaf. I know you like things like kimchi fried rice. But I thought you’d eat that often anyway.”

Did she buy me rice food that I, who like rice, don’t eat often?

To be honest, I don’t really know the difference between fried rice and pilaf.

“Thank you, I’ll eat it well.”

“I just made it, so eat it before it gets cold.”

“Did you make it yourself? Yiseo……!”

I looked at her, touched, and Choi Yiseo crossed her arms awkwardly.

“I still can’t accept that you’re going to date three people.”

“…….””But you still have feelings for me.”

On the contrary.

“You just have to make me choose you.”

“….”

“And there’s also the symbol of giving a rice cake to the one you hate. Anyway, I’m going to study in the library, so contact me if you need anything.”

“Why don’t you study in my room? There are a lot of people in the library, and it’s a bit like that.”

Choi Yi-seo glanced at the door to my suggestion and asked, still with her arms crossed.

“Are you sure you won’t do anything else?”

I just studied and played games, and I watched the broadcast while studying.

“Are you sure you won’t?”

I’m sure now.

But I don’t know if I’ll be confident even then if Choi Yi-seo sits next to me and bumps her shoulders once or twice.

“I can tell by your eyes that you’re not.”

Choi Yi-seo said that and turned away.

In the end, I failed to catch Choi Yi-seo and went back to my room.

I’m not really hungry yet, so I’m going to study and eat.

“Let’s go!”

I tried to calm down and study hard again.

Clang!

The door opened and Yoo Ah-rin came in, sweating profusely.

“Hey, I’m going to take a quick shower.”

“What did you do to sweat so much?”

“Basketball. The kids asked me to play with them, and it was more fun than I thought.”

I don’t think I would have played basketball with just girls. Did you play with boys?

Yoo Ah-rin, who had gone into the bathroom and taken off her clothes, stuck her head out and said.

“I played with the girls from the women’s basketball club. Anyway, look at that bastard getting jealous for no reason.”

“Ahem.”

Bang!

Yoo Ah-rin closed the door and started showering.

The sound of water felt strange, and I felt a strange sensation.

Before I knew it, I was putting down my pen.

About 20 minutes passed.

“Hey, give me a towel.”

Yoo Ah-rin, soaked to the skin, stuck her head out again.

“It’s on the towel rack over there.”

“There’s only one. And it’s a little wet.”

“Aha.”

I handed her the towel and tried to sneak a peek into the bathroom, but she slammed the door shut.

“Well, I can’t do that.”

Don’t you have to pay the landlord if you shower at someone else’s house?

I went to the bathroom door with the intention of scolding her and took the underwear and clothes that were left in front of the door.

‘Oh, black panties.’

Isn’t it a relic of the past?

When I put the guy’s clothes on the bed and the door opened again, Yoo Ah-rin let out a gasp of embarrassment.

“Where are my clothes?”

The guy who stuck his head out saw his clothes on my bed and pursed his lips.

“This bastard…”

“It’s difficult when you come to someone else’s house and ask for this and that.”

“Give it to me.”

“Will you give it to me?”

“You son of a b*tch, give it to me.”

“Oh, look at that long tongue. Add the master.”

“….”

I felt like I heard the guy gritting his teeth.

Eventually.

“Hoo, hoo!”

Yoo Ah-rin came out with one towel covering her chest and the other covering her legs.

Her face was flushed red with embarrassment.

“You’re a pervert. Do you think I’ll give in?”

She came out slowly and came to get her clothes.

It’s nice to see.

I just watched the guy pass by.

“This bastard is a fake!”

Suddenly, he threw two towels over my face.

When I hurriedly removed the towels, Yoo Ah-rin was already in the bathroom with her clothes.

I saw the back of her naked body, so I felt like I had gained something.

“If you go out wearing this, you’ll be screwed!”

I thought I should run away at the guy’s warning.

Bang.The front door opened again and someone came in.

“Woojin-ah! It’s a big deal! Don’t call me a s*x toy in the bamboo forest anymore!”

Seo Yerim came in urgently with a crying face.

She bumped into me as I was about to go out.

Thanks to her, I fell backward and got crushed.

“Woojin-ah! What should I do! Everyone will think I’m a concept whore now!”

“No, that’s not true.”

Seo Yerim clung to me and begged for help.

I pushed her aside for now.

I had to run away because Yu Arin would come out soon and I would get beaten up.

“Are you there?”

Again.

Someone was looking for me outside the door.

This doesn’t usually happen, so what’s today?

The door was not locked, but I opened it angrily.

“Oh, who are you?!”

Here.

Go back to the beginning.

As we live, there are times when unexpected situations unfold.

At that time, our lives demand that we respond to variables as if testing us.

That’s exactly what happened now.

That’s why today was a strange day.

“……Mom?”

The moment I saw my mother standing outside the door, my head froze without me knowing.

“Son, I thought this was a doghouse!”

My mother laughed, saying it was a joke that only the rich could make.
