Bamboo Forest Manager

Sauna

“Ah, this feels great.”

Bathing is always a pleasure.

Having frequently used the bathhouse at my family home since childhood, I always feel completely relaxed as soon as I step inside.

After finishing my bath and changing into sauna clothes, I casually picked a spot close to the TV.

Suddenly, memories of the last time I came here with Choi Yi-seo surfaced. Back then, I never imagined our relationship would turn out like this.

I couldn’t help but smile at the memory of Choi Yi-seo sleeping rigidly next to me.

“I should buy some eggs and sweet rice drink in advance.”

Considering they’re girls, they probably won’t take long to wash up. So thinking it’s better to prepare everything beforehand, I quickly got up.

At the snack bar, I bought four bottles of sweet rice drink and set aside some eggs too.

Thinking about how happy the kids will be makes me check Bamboo Forest on my phone for a while.

– Anonymous422: Really want to do well on this final exam. Any tips? 😭

↳ Anonymous118: Just study hard and do your best.

↳ Anonymous20: Instead of asking here, you might as well just study.

– Anonymous231: Why does something always come up when I try to study? Just gave up on finals after seeing that new game release.

– Anonymous183: Someone hit me so hard that I pass out. Then wake me up after finals are over.

↳ Anonymous198: Are you a girl? Then sure.

↳ Anonymous183 (author): Get lost creep.

↳ Anonymous198: ; Didn’t even do anything?

-Anonymous407 (Admin3): When professors make exam questions think inversely. They definitely base them on lecture content. If you were a professor what would you include in an exam?

↳Anonymous11:? Why is this guy normal?

↳Anonymous229: Admin bro how hard did you hit that kid for him to lose his senses?

↳Anonymous39 But isn’t this advice not freshman level though? It’s legit real; thinking from professors’ perspective actually narrows down potential exam topics significantly.

-Anonymous44:Bitter-sweet ghost story of today.Your final grades everyone

↳Anonymous92:Dude suddenly hitting where it hurts unlike usual

-Anonymous373:The recent famous bike thief turned out be from our Security Studies department.Heard that b*stard took leave for military service

Anonymous243: I’ve seen the new releases this quarter. To put it in one word: Trash.

↳ Anonymous11: You’re the real trash, idiot.

Another peaceful day in the Bamboo Forest chatroom.

Some notable mentions include the chancellor who started participating as Admin3 and a student from the Security Studies department who’s known for stealing bicycles.

The chancellor seems to have taken a liking to community fun at his late age, and it’s somewhat adorable how he tries to teach tricks to the kids.

It looks like there’s some harsh criticism going on in Security Studies.

Joo-hee senior mentioned she changed her dream job to bodyguard, which strangely caught my attention.

‘Well, not like Senior Joo-hee can change her major now.’

Sigh.

While drinking rice punch and peeling an egg. Since managing Bamboo Forest is almost done, I decided to watch TV now.

As all ice in my purchased rice punch melted…

“…Why aren’t they coming?”

I began feeling a chill down my spine with confusion.

Did they just take a bath and leave?

Or did something happen while bathing?

No matter how long it takes, they should have been out by now.

Holding onto my bland melted rice punch with both hands, I cautiously approached a group of women chatting near the entrance of the women’s bathhouse.

“Excuse me, could you spare a moment?”

“Oh, what is it?”

“You think this is some kind of sauna where you pick up-”

The women about to say something exchanged glances upon seeing me.

Not exactly thrilled but not too bad either.

Hmm, seems like living diligently as Kim Woo-jin has its rewards.

“Ahem, what brings you here?”

As one woman brushed her hair behind her ear asking me that question,

I handed over my rice punch saying,

“I came here with friends but they haven’t come out from the bathhouse yet. Could you check on them if I give you this drink?”

“Oh…”

Clearly disappointed atmosphere.

Handing out each thawed free rice punch felt like clearing inventory.

“Woo-jina!”

At that moment, a familiar voice reached my ears.

Beaming with a smile, Seo Yerin approached and linked her arm through mine.

“What’s up? Wanna die?”

“Ha ha, look who’s here. Sorry about that. Just have the sweet rice drink.”

“You hitting on just anyone because we’re not around?”

“Are you crazy? I value my life too.”

It was awkward, so I bowed my head slightly and turned away. Now Seo Yerin clung to my back completely, and the surprisingly squishy sensation almost made me lose it right there.

“Hey, are you not wearing underwear?”

“Yeah, it gets sweaty and uncomfortable. Have to wear it when going out too.”

“But still…”

Where does this girl leave her brain? The sauna suit is quite large so it doesn’t show much but still…

As we returned to our reserved spot, Seo Yerin finally got off my back and asked,

“Did Woojin wear panties?”

“I’m a guy.”

Thump.

Seo Yerin nonchalantly placed her hand on my lower half. Then she grinned broadly.

“It’s true!”

“Sigh, I don’t know anymore. Just stay behind me if possible. Tell me if someone looks at us weirdly.”

“Yes! I like it when Woojin gets clingy!”

Then she started peeling an egg to eat. Just then Choi Iseo and Yu Arin followed behind us.

‘I’m glad Seo Yerin came first.’

If Choi Iseo or Yu Arin had witnessed what just happened earlier they might have hit me right away.

“What’s this? Only bought eggs?”

“The sweet rice drink was also bought but you guys were so late that it all melted.”

“Did it take that long?”

Seeing Choi Iseo make an embarrassed face seemed like he knew he was late too.

“……”

For some reason looking sulky, Yu Arin sat down and began devouring eggs immediately.

At first wondering why she was acting like this,

I soon found out the reason and called over to her as kindly as possible.

“Arin.”

“What?”

“It’s okay.”

“…What is?”

As Arin twitches and her eyebrows wriggle, I give her a thumbs up.

“I like them as long as they’re breasts.”

“Oh, Yerin. Shall we go buy some sweet rice drink?”

“Let’s do that. I can hardly breathe.”

The moment they hear me, Choi Yiseo and Seo Yerin quickly get up and make space.

Crack.

A crack forms on the eggshell Arin was holding in her hand.

“What are you talking about?”

“Do you know what your face looks like right now?”

“…What does it look like?”

“It looks exactly like my face when I first saw a porn video with black men in elementary school.”

Arin charged at me immediately.

“You son of a b*tch! You b*stard!”

She lunged at me, clinging on here and there until she finally got caught in a chokehold from behind.

“Gah! Can’t… breathe!”

“It’s not my fault! It’s because Seo Yerin’s are weirdly big! No, it’s because of youuu!”

“Why are you blaming your defeat on me?!”

“You kept groping them so much that hers grew bigger! I remember they weren’t that big originally! And I haven’t been defeated!”

“Then let go and I’ll grope yours too!”

“aaahh! Why are you insulting meee?!”

After much bickering between the two, only when Seo Yerin and Choi Yiseo arrived were they finally separated.

“Look, a woman’s worth isn’t determined by her breasts.”

We settled back into our places and while drinking sweet rice drink, although she complained about being wronged, Arin still glared at me drowsily.

After finishing her drink she suddenly said,

“Kim Woojin’s dick is so small it’s actually hard to pretend to feel anything.”

“That fucking b*tch! Follow me! I’ll keep going until you cry for mercy!”

“I really can’t stand this.”

As I abruptly stood up and shouted, Yoo Arin retorted while raising her finger.

“Look at this guy! You get all defensive too when someone says you’re small down there!”

“Is that the same thing? I don’t care if your chest is as petite as it is now, you know? What if it was flat like a kid’s, no big deal—!”

Immediately, Yoo Arin charged at me again, and I had no choice but to flee to the men’s restroom.

Eventually, buying her some squid sold at the sauna seemed to cool her anger somewhat.

Of course, she wasn’t completely calmed down but it did have a soothing effect.

After that, things were normal.

We enjoyed the sauna heat rooms and ice rooms and bought snacks from the shop. We chatted away casually.

When things started getting boring, Seo Ye Rin muttered absentmindedly while staring at the ceiling,

“Ah, I need to memorize my script.”

Then she began muttering something into her phone on her own.

From noble mtl dot come

Initially uninterested when suddenly hearing it was a movie script piqued my curiosity,

“What did you say last time? Were you a warrior who survived alone in an apocalypse?”

“That’s right. Her lover is already dead. It’s like a lone wolf concept for the main character position.”

“Hmm.”

I hadn’t really pictured Seo Ye Rin in such an image before.

Well, experts must have chosen roles perfectly suited for them,

“Can you help me?”

That was how Seo Ye Rin started talking about it.

Before we knew it we decided on our roles and agreed to do role-playing,

Seo Ye Rin kept her original role.

I played the villain.

Yoo Arin played a girl taken hostage by villains.

Choi Yi Seo ended up playing dead body.

“Do we really need a corpse?”

While Choi Yi Seo sighed incredulously but being diligent as he was laid down beside us pretending to be dead,

The rest of us didn’t bother standing up; we just continued sitting down,

Reminiscent of filming last year brought about nostalgic feelings as Seo Ye Rin shouted “Action!”

“Bang! Bang bang!”

He just shot me dead on the spot.

“Are you kidding me?”

If you’re going to shoot right from the start, what’s the point of doing this?

“…But isn’t he a master gunman of few words?”

“Ugh, let’s do it again. This time without a gun.”

As I said that, Yoo Arin, who was held hostage like me, got annoyed.

“That’s fine. But don’t grope me. It makes me want to beat you up every time.”

“Got it.”

The kidnapping scene started over.

“Begin.”

As soon as Choi Yi Seo announced the start, I immediately grabbed Yoo Arin tightly.

“Scream!”

“At last! A woman! It’s been so long since I had a woman! I’ll make sure you whimper tonight!”

“This b*stard…! Ahh, save me please.”

Yoo Arin’s feeble call for help.

Sitting down and wiggling her hips forward towards us came Seo Ye Rin saying,

“That very small and petite girl over there who is underdeveloped but super cute—let her go!”

“That one?”

“Take me instead! I’ll be your match tonight! Let’s have kids and see how well we can live!”

The script was nowhere in mind now.

The story just flowed on its own accord.

Ah well, whatever.

“I’m sorry but as a lolicon only petite women turn me on! Not someone with lumps of fat like you!”

“I want to kill this guy.”

“What?! No way, Woo Ji Na! How can you say that after groping my chest like that?!”

So much for acting.

“Forget it; not doing this anymore. You asked for help—I tried. No need for this anymore. Take your hostage away. Honestly, my taste is more corpse-like anyway.”

Pushing Yoo Arin out of my lap where she sat straddling one leg and approaching Choi Yi Seo lying face down,

“Get lost.”

“She wasn’t dead after all.”

Choi Yiseo looked at me with a mix of disdain as she slowly stood up.

I wondered why my image had to suffer even though I was just practicing acting.

“What did Seo Yerin say? What? Petite and what?”

“Bo, boool! You’re sooo…”

“Ah, what a waste of time.”

Amidst the children grumbling about how fruitless the time had been.

Woong! Woong! Woong!

Suddenly, my phone rang with an unexpected caller ID.

– Choi Jina –
