Bamboo Forest Manager

195 – 189. Cookie Party

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it have been better to just block it from the beginning?”

In the dormitory room.

Yoo Ah-rin, who now seemed used to being here, asked me as if she was accusing me.

During the midterm exam period, the bamboo forest was in chaos, so she was busy studying and managing it.

It’s not a wrong statement.

“Yeah. If I had known this would happen, I would have just blocked it.”

In fact, there were quite a few people who were getting help through the bamboo forest during the exam period, so I was a bit reluctant to block it.

An incident that started in reality spread through the bamboo forest.

And when I saw the scene of it coming back to reality, I had a lot of thoughts about it.

“I made you suffer for nothing.”

When I apologized to Yoo Ah-rin, she snorted, “Tch,” but she didn’t seem to mind much.

“But why did you block it all of a sudden? Did something happen?”

“Oh, actually-.”

I briefly told her about the conflict between Choi Yi-seo and the freshmen.

Bam!

Yoo Ah-rin kicked me in the butt.

“Ouch!?”

I looked at her, wondering why she was suddenly hitting me when the atmosphere had been fine just a moment ago, and she shouted as if she was about to hit me again.

“You don’t care that I’m suffering, but as soon as Choi Yi-seo has a hard time, you close the forest? Are you really trying to die?”

“No… It’s not because of that. Even if you said you were having a hard time, I would have closed it right away, right?”

“The more I look at you, the more it seems like you favor Choi Yi-seo.”

It’s unfair.

If I favored Choi Yi-seo, I would have asked her out.

“What are you talking about?”

At that moment, Seo Ye-rin entered the room with an envelope full of cookies in her hands.

There were still some people taking the midterm exam.

But we had already finished the midterm exam, so we gathered to have a small cookie party.

By the way, Choi Yi-seo was absent because she still had an exam left.

“Kim Woo-jin was saying that he chose Choi Yi-seo out of the three of us.”

“That’s something you can’t just let pass.”

“No, wait a minute! Don’t talk nonsense! He’s going crazy!”

Look at her, she’s about to put down the cookie bag and grab something.

Stab or be stabbed.

Seo Ye-rin’s warning that it was one of the two sent a shiver down my spine.

Yoo Ah-rin must have thought that Seo Ye-rin’s mood was not good, so she hurriedly corrected her words.

“Just kidding! I’m just saying that the reason you blocked the bamboo forest this time is because of Choi Yi-seo.”

“It’s because of Choi Yi-seo. But that’s not all.”

When the controversy over the bamboo forest came out, it started to affect real life, so I blocked it.

Of course, if it was a good influence, I would have left it alone.

For example, a campaign to pick up trash together or something like that.

“If people start talking about the bamboo forest for no reason, it could spread to me.”

If I had to give a percentage, I would say that 80% of it was because I wanted to look cool in front of Choi Yi-seo.

The remaining 20% or so would be for other reasons.

“I’m a little bored because the bamboo forest is blocked.”

Seo Ye-rin, who had been emitting a dark aura from her body until just now, smiled again and sat down on the floor.

Was that an act too?

She’s a little scary sometimes.

“So I found a substitute.”

Seo Ye-rin laughed and opened the cookie bag.

“A substitute?”

Yoo Ah-rin also joined in and asked while opening the cookies.

“Yeah, since I can’t use the bamboo forest, I’ve been sending Woo-jin a text message every day instead.”

“……”

Yoo Ah-rin glanced at me.

I nodded without saying anything, letting her know that it was true. Seo Ye-rin was pouring out to me as much as she couldn’t use the bamboo forest.

I had something to say about that today, so it was good timing.

“Honestly, don’t you think you don’t have to do that anymore? I understand that you’re doing it to relieve stress, but it’s not really necessary anymore.”

“The bamboo forest s*x seat is the first honor I’ve ever earned with my own hands!”

She’s been obsessed with the name of the s*x seat since last time.

But is that an honor?

“But what are you doing sending it to me? It makes sense to write on the bamboo forest, but why are you sending me a text message?”

I couldn’t help but ask her about it.

Seo Ye-rin blushed and lowered her head.

“Oh, how embarrassing.”

Was there anything to be embarrassed about here?Could the text message really have been a sign to have s*x?

“But now, isn’t Anonymous69 saying that he’s not a s*x addict? Anonymous90? Isn’t that him?”

Yoo Ah-rin, who had been listening in, asked.

If it’s Anonymous90, then it’s Lee Eun-woo from the Dental Hygiene Department.

At first, he was a follower of the s*x addicts, but somewhere along the way, he found his own path and rose to become a new s*x addict.

He’s a graduate student and a teaching assistant who’s probably working hard in the Dental Hygiene Department, but it seems like he still hasn’t given up on the bamboo forest.

And he was also Seo Ye-rin’s Achilles’ heel.

“That’s why! I’m the original! Where did this strange fake come from to steal my place?!”

“……It seems like it would be better if you lost that place.”

“No! It’s mine!”

As Seo Ye-rin was punching the air while sitting down,

Yoo Ah-rin tilted her head and looked at me.

“Hey, you know who Anonymous90 is, right?”

“…….”

At those words, Seo Ye-rin’s gaze shot towards me.

“You do?”

“Well, at last year’s festival. When you said you were going to reveal your identity, Anonymous90 was making a fuss. He even found out that Kim Woo-jin was in the Dental Hygiene Department. What happened after that?”

“……There’s some beer in the fridge. Do you want some?”

Choi Yi-seo bought it for me last time.

I ran straight to the fridge, but Seo Ye-rin lunged forward and grabbed my ankle.

“Ouch!”

She pulled so hard that I fell to the floor, but thanks to the fact that I’ve been working out lately, I was able to avoid getting hurt.

“Hey, you could really get hurt-!”

I was about to say something, but Seo Ye-rin, who had climbed on top of me like a beast,

Pressed her hands hard against my back and gritted her teeth.

“Who is he? I’m going to go and finish him off. How dare he steal my honor?!”

Anyway, internet ghosts.

When I see them obsessing over something strange, I want to understand why it’s so important to them, but I can’t.

“I’ll ask the person in question and tell you. No matter what, it’s not right to just go around revealing someone’s personal information.”

Lee Eun-woo isn’t a dorm resident anymore, so I’ll have to contact him separately.

“You have to tell me! Okay?! Do you understand?!”

From Noble mtl dot com

“I said I understand?!”

I told her to get off now, but Seo Ye-rin clung to my back instead.

“Okay.”

“…….”

“Okay.”

I feel like I’ve become a teddy bear.

My back is sore and warm, but it’s not so bad.

“What are you doing?”

At Yoo Ah-rin’s threat that she would cut us in half if we didn’t get off right away, who had been watching our antics from the beginning, we finally got off.

Once I brought the beer, the real snack party began.

“Cheers!”

We sat down in front of the snacks and clinked our beer cans together.

Originally, I had suggested that we go out for meat instead of a snack party.

But Choi Yi-seo and the other kids were going to go together, so we decided to just have a simple snack party today.

“What is this? Potato chips? Why did you buy these, Ye-rin?”

“Huh? You don’t like potato chips? Try one.”

“Ugh. You eat them all.”

“I don’t like potato chips?”

“……Then why did you buy them?”

“There might be someone who likes them.”

For the record, I don’t like potato chips either.

In the end, we decided to eat the potato chips as a punishment.

“No, so Chan-woo broke up with his girlfriend again. That’s why I told him to just go and buy an iced americano, but he didn’t.”

“Hmm? I saw Chan-woo with a girl I didn’t know when I came in today.”

Damn, isn’t this some kind of modern ghost story?

“Oh, there’s a mosquito now. Look. It bit me.”

When I showed her the red mark on the back of my neck, Seo Ye-rin smiled.

“I’m the one who made that mark. You fell asleep while you were studying in front of the convenience store last time.”

“……Somehow it doesn’t itch.”

My question was answered.

“Hey, but how did you become the manager of the bamboo forest?”

“Ooh?! I’m curious too!”

“Hmm? Manager? It’s nothing special. I just had a senior I knew when I was a freshman-.”

“Wait a minute. Was it a girl?”

I smiled at Yoo Ah-rin’s innocent eyes and replied,

“It was a guy.”

“Okay, go on.”

I briefly told her the story of how I became the manager of the bamboo forest.

As we talked, we ended up finishing all the beer.

“I’ll go buy some more.”Since it wasn’t good for non-dorm students to go out often, I got up from my seat.

“……You’re not going to buy condoms, are you? The three of us aren’t going to do it.”

Just in case, Yu-arin warned me, but I snorted.

“Hey, there are two boxes of condoms in this room.”

Last time, the idiots gave them to me, saying they were going to play with them.

If I was going to do it, I would have done it already.

I bought three six-packs of beer cans from the convenience store in the school and went back.

I wasn’t going to drink them all, but I was going to save some and drink them later.

As I went inside, the guys were holding their hands up to the sky and making a fuss while drinking something.

“Ah!”

It was the wine that Choi Yi-seo bought last time, saying that we should drink it together later.

“We drank it because we didn’t want to see it.”

“Ooh! Kim Woo-jin, ooh! What were you going to do with this and Yi-seo!”

Oh, I’ll have to buy the same thing later.

“I bought beer, so drink beer.”

“Woo-jin, have a drink too!”

The drinking party continued again.

Before I knew it, the snacks were empty, and the wine bottle was empty and rolling around.

I had to count how many beer cans there were.

‘Oh, did I drink too much wine?’

It was more delicious than I thought, so I drank it all at once, and before I knew it, my head was dizzy and tired.

But the drinking party didn’t stop.

“Wagu, wagu, wagu, wagu!”

I ate the mincho chips that Seo Ye-rin bought herself as a penalty for losing the game just now.

Why is she making that kind of noise?

I guess it’s just a sound effect to trick herself into thinking she’s eating it deliciously.

“Let’s play another game.”

Seo Ye-rin, who had eaten everything, grumbled as she threw the snack bag into the trash.

I turned on a game on my cell phone, and it was a game where I just ran forward.

We bet on who would run the longest, but since we were all drunk, we didn’t get very far.

Yu-arin, who was not familiar with the game, won.

“Ah, damn it. You guys are mean. I told you to do something you’re good at!”

“No, we didn’t.”

“No, we didn’t.”

Seo Ye-rin and I put our arms around each other’s shoulders and laughed, but Yu-arin’s face turned red and she grumbled, but she had lost anyway.

As a penalty, Yu-arin lay down on the bed and decided to act like a cat.

She showed her belly and crouched her hands like a cat.

“Hey, meow.”

Seo Ye-rin started taking pictures right away, and I sat next to her and stroked her belly.

“Hic?!”

Click, click.

I got a picture of me stroking Yu-arin’s belly.

I have to ask Seo Ye-rin to send it to me later.

“Let’s play another game. Another game.”

Even after that, the game continued in a drunken state.

In fact, it should be considered a game for punishment.

In the next game, Seo Ye-rin lost and, as a penalty, put a pencil case on her chest and sang the first verse of the national anthem as a microphone.

In the next game, Yu-arin lost and drew a (正) on her thigh.

The endless cycle of games.

Strangely enough, I was lucky and won every game, so I looked at the two of them in a mess with a smirk.

In the end, the two of them, unable to contain their anger, suggested a final game.

“Let’s arm wrestle 2:1! The loser has to stay still until the winner says so!”

2:1 arm wrestling?

So, they’re saying that the two of them will beat me.

“Hmph, you’re really going to stay still.”

I rolled up my arms and got into position.

I already felt like I could see the two of them lying on the bed, trembling at my every touch.

Yu-arin grabbed my hand, and Seo Ye-rin’s hand was placed on top of hers.

Even if I lose to Yu-arin in the fight, I can win in strength.

Besides, I was a healthy man who did both home training and gym.

‘But I didn’t do any strength training.’

Still, I judged Seo Ye-rin to be out of her league.

The arm wrestling started right away.

Thud!

“…….”

I lost in exactly 2 seconds.

“Yay! I won!”

“Kim Woo-jin, you’re a loser!”

They’re stronger than I thought…….

I was really determined to win, but I didn’t know I would lose so quickly.

The two of them approached me with a grin.

Now there is only one exam left.Choi Yiseo, who no longer had to deal with her juniors’ nagging, was studying peacefully in the library.

‘Just a little more effort.’

There was only one left, so she just had to focus on this, but her stamina was running low.

She stretched to try to shake off some of the fatigue.

Ooh!

Just then, a message came in.

It was from Kim Woojin.

‘Are you having fun playing with the kids?’

She was a little worried, but since it was a dormitory, she couldn’t be too strict.

Choi Yiseo checked the message with that in mind.

The message was a picture.

Kim Woojin was in the center with his shirt off.

Yoo Arin and Seo Yerim were clinging to him on either side.

Seo Yerim had taken the selfie, and one of her hands was inside Kim Woojin’s pants.

Yoo Arin was covering Kim Woojin’s eyes with one hand and smiling with a V-sign with the other.

There were also a few dark lipstick marks on Kim Woojin’s body.

“….”

Choi Yiseo stared blankly at the picture before she could even respond.

– Kim Woojin: How’s the concept shot?

A message that was probably sent by Seo Yerim.

– Choi Yiseo: It’s not real, right?

She asked just in case.

– Kim Woojin: Yeah. Woojin is drunk and sleeping right now. Arin covered his eyes while taking the picture, and he fell asleep in the meantime.

Phew.

Thank goodness.

– Choi Yiseo: I’m in the library. I’m going there now, so don’t do anything weird to him.

No, thinking that it could be even more dangerous, Choi Yiseo hurriedly got up from her seat.
