196 – 190. Pretending To Sleep

“Oh, my head.”

I knew I was weak to drinks like wine and champagne, but I never thought Yuarin would fall asleep after just closing her eyes for a moment.

‘Wow, she’s really out.’

Still, even though it was just for a short while, I felt a little better after waking up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling.

It was the dormitory ceiling I saw every morning.

Judging by the bright sunlight coming in through the window, it wasn’t even evening yet.

That meant it hadn’t been long since we had our snack party.

‘Hmm.’

When you sit down, you want to lie down, and when you lie down, you want to sleep.

Now that I was lying down, I didn’t feel like getting up.

It seemed like the girls had just left, so I closed my eyes and tried to sleep more.

Clang.

“No, I really didn’t! No matter what, the three of us doing it is really not happening.”

“You guys already did it once.”

“Gasp?! How did you know, Iseul?”

Three people came in as the door opened.

I understood Yuarin and Seoyerin, but I didn’t know why Choi Iseul was here.

‘I should get up.’

I was going to get up and greet the guests.

But then again, I was curious about what the three of them would talk about when I wasn’t there.

I had confessed to all three of them at the same time. In fact, what was important was not my relationship with the three of them, but the relationship between the three of them.

If they had a big fight or something like a battle of nerves, it would be difficult.

‘I’ll just pretend to sleep and watch.’

It’s not often that the three of them are together when I’m not around.

“Sigh, you guys, sit down. Does it make sense for the three of you to do it? Huh?”

Suddenly, it was time for a lecture.

Choi Iseul, who had sat down Yuarin and Seoyerin, stood up and began to scold them.

“Even if this guy says nonsense about dating all three of you, we shouldn’t fall for it.”

“I agree.”

“……Honestly, I don’t like it either.”

What the heck.

Should I get up?

I thought the atmosphere had been pretty good lately, and I thought it would just pass by.

“That’s why. We have to make it clear. We can’t just let ourselves be swayed by what that reckless rich kid says.”

She’s being harsh.

I thought it was a situation where I should get up, but Yuarin’s voice interrupted her before I could.

“But you also made an appointment with him. You said you would hang out together all day after the exam?”

“……Kim Woojin.”

I could feel Choi Iseul glaring at me as she bit her lip.

I felt the pressure of her spilling our schedule, so I closed my eyes tighter and continued to pretend to sleep.

“Choi Iseul, were you trying to hold him back?”

When Yuarin asked in disbelief, Choi Iseul sighed deeply.

“Hanging out is hanging out. Dating all three of them is different.”

That’s true.

Choi Iseul had also said that she liked me the most and would make the other two give up.

“Well, let’s just be honest. Do you guys really have to have him?”

This time, Yuarin stood up and asked.

“What’s so good about him? There are plenty of other good guys. You guys are popular enough to get anyone you want.”

She’s right.

Does she think I haven’t seen how many times guys have made a move on me while I’m working at Gold One?

Yuarin has a really outgoing personality, and she’s always with the gorgeous Seoyerin, so she’s definitely not ordinary.

“He has a lot of money at home? He said he won’t inherit anything anyway. If you take that kid, you’re just taking a penniless loser.”

Why do I keep getting hurt?

Can I really not sleep through this?

I want to pretend I didn’t hear it.”He’s a guy with no future. He sometimes acts weird. Do you know what he did when he was taking the test?”

Oh, no!

I wanted to stop her, but Yoo Ah-rin had already started telling the story about me pulling my pants down during the exam.

“Sigh.”

“W, wow.”

I could feel the gazes of Choi Yi-seo and Seo Ye-rin piercing me at the same time.

If there was a favorability system, both of their favorability would have gone down.

…Seo Ye-rin’s might have gone up.

“Look. Honestly, there are many guys better than him. Why do you have to choose him?”

What should I say?

As I listened to the conversation, I felt like even I was being persuaded by Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Yi-seo.

Do I really have to be the one?

There are plenty of handsome, cool, and considerate guys out there.

Especially for people like the three of them, it wouldn’t be difficult to find such guys.

Why do they need to like a piece of trash who asked all three of them to date him at the same time?

‘I feel so inferior.’

Not only that, but I also felt ashamed.

What kind of loser asks three people to date him at the same time?

‘Oh, I’m going to die.’

I closed my eyes tightly, really wanting to fall asleep.

“That’s why.”

Seo Ye-rin’s light voice came through.

It was a voice mixed with laughter, as if she knew what you were thinking.

“He’s weird, he sometimes acts strange, he’s selfish, and he’s very greedy! He asked all three of us to date him at the same time!”

The calm atmosphere gradually heated up.

Before I knew it, Seo Ye-rin was sitting on the bed next to me.

“But you like him so much that you can’t let him go? He’s handsome, rich, and has a good personality? That’s not why I love Kim Woo-jin.”

I felt warmth on my cheek.

It was Seo Ye-rin’s hand.

“There are words that Kim Woo-jin said to me, things that he showed me. It was a time that I can’t compare to any other man.”

Oh, Ye-rin.

I want to get up and kiss you right now.

I imagined Seo Ye-rin’s smiling face, and she smiled as she pulled her hand away.

“And you’re all similar. That’s why I didn’t give up and joined the competition.”

“……”

“……”

Neither of them answered.

Judging by the fact that they weren’t leaving the room, it seemed like they were similar.

“It’s useless to try to hold back. Those who were going to drop out would have dropped out during the MT.”

“Sigh, that’s right.”

“Let’s just take it easy. It’s hard enough when he acts weird, but you guys are making it even more tiring.”

What the heck?

My heart suddenly felt warm.

I tried to force myself to hold back the smile that was about to spread across my face because I felt so good.

As I relaxed, my body gradually relaxed, and I felt like I was about to fall asleep.

“Whew, let’s just drink.”

Yoo Ah-rin urged us to drink the remaining beer. Seo Ye-rin also smiled and said she was okay with it, but Choi Yi-seo’s expression was dark.

“I have one more exam left.”

“Hey, we’ll see you tomorrow anyway. It doesn’t matter if you have a few drinks.”

“Come on, come on!”

Choi Yi-seo is Choi Yi-seo, after all.

I thought she wouldn’t drink here.

“Sigh, okay. Let’s drink.”

For some reason, Choi Yi-seo also sat down and started to open a beer.

“Wait a minute, isn’t that the wine I bought to drink?”

“Your wine. We drank it.”

“A good time with Woo-jin. We’ll take it.”

Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin laughed as they teased Choi Yi-seo.

“I wondered why it was gone. I’ll tell Kim Woo-jin to buy me another one.”

The atmosphere itself wasn’t too bad.Despite the grumbling, Choi Yiseo was getting along well with the girls, and Seo Yerim and Yoo Arin, who were already tipsy, often crossed the line.

“But Arin is the shortest here, right?”

“What can I do? It’s only a 1 or 2 cm difference anyway.”

In fact, the height difference between the three of them wasn’t that big. They were about the same height when they stood side by side.

But between them, wasn’t even 1 or 2 cm important?

“That’s a big difference.”

“It’s a big difference.”

Yoo Arin felt pushed as Seo Yerim and Choi Yiseo teased her about her height.

Anyway, Seo Yerim continued talking.

“So when you do it with Woojin, does it go in deeper?”

“Pfft?!”

“Ah, sh*t! That’s dirty!”

Choi Yiseo, who was startled, seemed to have sprayed beer. Seo Yerim’s remarks must have been embarrassing.

“Gulp! Gulp! Oh, my, my bad. But Yerim?!”

“Why? I’m curious. We already talked about dirty stuff at Gold One.”

What the hell?!

I’m curious.

I’m so curious about what dirty stuff they talked about.

Actually, I want to join the conversation now.

I want to show Yoo Arin how much I can take.

“A, about this much?”

Yoo Arin seemed to be pointing at something with her hand. I couldn’t see it.

Because I was pretending to sleep.

But if I got up now, I was afraid I’d be questioned about when I started pretending to sleep.

“It’s about the same.”

“……”

Choi Yiseo didn’t answer separately.

Maybe because they had started to go down a dirty path with their conversation.

Or maybe it was because she had drunk too much.

The girls seemed to have turned the conversation in this direction without realizing it.

“Choi Yiseo, where did you do it for the first time?”

“……Woojin’s studio apartment.”

“Oh, right. I remember you were together when I picked you up to go to Gold One that day.”

“I did it at my house! After the festival-.”

“You told me about that last time.”

“Arin, what about you?”

“Me? At Gold One. That time, the vice president’s secretary gave us a hotel card key and we did it there.”

“Hmm.”

I wondered why this kind of conversation was happening in my room.

But I didn’t feel like I had to stop them.

“B, but you guys. Doesn’t it hurt when you do it?”

Choi Yiseo, who had only been answering passively until now, threw out the first topic.

“I just… my thighs and back hurt a lot.”

“I agree. It’s annoying.”

There was the sound of beer cans clinking.

Choi Yiseo and Yoo Arin seemed to have made a toast with their beer cans.

“Does that mean you just do it for a short time and finish? If you do it, you do it for a long time. You must have eaten too much good stuff when you were young.”

“Pfft. That’s right. I guess your mother only fed you good things.”

“Do you even know why she goes to the gym these days? She said Seo Yerim had 48-hour s*x, so she’s going to make it happen.”

“……Ha, Kim Woojin is really.”

“Woojin-ah!”

One of them sighed deeply, while the other held my hand tightly, moved by my words.

Seo Yerim, who was on a roll, immediately took my side.

“That’s a good thing! I learned that satisfying each other in a relationship is very important for the relationship!”

“That’s a problem because it’s excessive. Because it’s excessive. It interferes with your life the next day.”

“That’s right… And honestly, I thought about getting a reduction surgery.”

Are you crazy?!

Choi Yiseo’s bombshell statement made me feel like my precious thing was shaking slightly.

“hahahahaha! Reduction surgery! Let’s just neuter that kid!”

“No-o-o! Absolutely not! If you reduce Woojin, he’ll be discouraged every time he goes to the bathroom or public restroom!”Not to that extent…

“No, I was just thinking about it. I’m not going to ask you to do it.”

Choi Iseo replies, hesitating.

And a brief silence.

“But you’re not listening to this, are you?”

At Yoo Arin’s words, I feel the gazes of the three people piercing me at the same time.

“No way. Even so, you wouldn’t eavesdrop on our conversation.”

“But we’re making a lot of noise in your room.”

“That’s… true. But I said a lot of embarrassing things.”

Should I get up or not?

When in doubt, the best thing to do is maintain the status quo.

I think I’ll just stay still for now.

“There’s a way to tell if you’re awake.”

Are you going to touch my eyes or something?

It’s surprisingly difficult to figure out that way.

I was confident that I could pretend to be asleep, but Seo Yerim’s method was beyond my imagination.

Squish.

The plump sensation of a hand wrapping around mine.

The hand that went inside the bra grabbed one of Seo Yerim’s breasts.

“You’re up, you bastard!”

“Ahhh! Woojin, please!”

“hahahahaha!”

The moment they saw the tent in the blanket, Yoo Arin, Choi Iseo, and Seo Yerim’s voices burst out at the same time.
