Bamboo Forest Manager

89 – 89. Cox Party

Tuesday, 9 AM lecture.

As always, Seo Yerim, Choi Yiseo, and I were blankly listening to the lecture.

No, to be exact, only Choi Yiseo was diligently listening to the lecture, while Seo Yerim and I were a bit different.

“So, to beat this boss, you have to raise this, right?”

“I don’t have the resources.”

Seo Yerim sighed as she looked down at the game character on her cell phone.

“You got a lot of them from the event this time. Who did you raise separately?”

“This one.”

A girl character with a voluptuous chest, even bigger than her face. She was a student, but she had an overwhelming aura that made one wonder how she could possibly be a student.

“……You raised a sh*tty character.”

“She was my favorite.”

Sorry, but I’m not a performance freak like Seo Yerim, so I just raise my game characters as pretty girls.

Seo Yerim seemed to be dissatisfied with my words, and she tapped her cell phone as if she was just messing around.

– Huh! Teacher! Where are you touching me!

A strange moan came from her cell phone.

I was startled for a moment and hurriedly lowered the volume, but I could feel the gazes of those around me pouring in.

“What are you guys doing?”

Choi Yiseo glanced at me with a pitiful look. I tried to excuse myself by saying that I didn’t do it, but Seo Yerim was already writing something on her notebook.

Her handwriting speed was amazing.

As the gazes around her focused back on the blackboard, Seo Yerim leaned towards me again and began to whisper.

“Don’t raise that one, raise the other ones.”

“……Do you have nothing to say?”

“Huh?”

Huh? This is getting annoying.

“Because of you, I’ve become a crazy kid who watches porn of the teacher during class?”

Wow, when you put it that way, I really do sound like a crazy person.

The fact that I watched porn of the teacher during class makes the disgust factor several times worse.

“It’s not porn.”

“You’re not going to misunderstand like that.”

“Are you embarrassed for our kids?”

“Are you pretending not to know because you’re not embarrassed?”

“……Let’s study.”

Seo Yerim is really a honey-tongued devil.

Watching Seo Yerim pretending not to know and writing again, I decided to put away my cell phone and study as well.

It’s been a while since the midterms, and the finals are just around the corner.

I heard that when you enter college, you just play and eat, but for some reason, after the exams, I feel like I’m in the mood for exams.

Swish.

A notebook came flying in and hit my arm.

Seo Yerim handed me what she had written. When I looked at it, it wasn’t something she had studied, but just a note with some gossip written on it.

– Do you like that character the best?

“Uh.”

I answered her casually because I was annoyed, and Choi Yiseo glanced at me. It seemed like she was wondering what I was talking about all of a sudden.

Pretending not to notice, Seo Yerim quickly took the notebook and scribbled something else.

– Will you cosplay?

How far does this girl’s tolerance for s*xual acts go? I, a master of genre equality who does not deny the diversity of genres, give s*x-좌 an answer.

– ㅗ

– Why

– You can’t

I thought that if I told her why she couldn’t, she wouldn’t get hurt, but judging from the way she punched me in the thigh, it seemed like she knew the reason without me having to say it.

In the first place, the character had a bigger chest than her face, so how could she possibly imitate it without any implants?

I think she would have to have surgery or be a foreigner.

“Aren’t you guys going to study?”

In the end, Choi Yiseo, who couldn’t stand to watch us fooling around, said something.

Anyway, I’ve been attending class regularly, so I won’t get an F if I just do average on the exam, so it’s no problem.

“If you’re really in a hurry, won’t you help me?”

“Overachiever Yiseo wouldn’t abandon her fellow classmates, would she?””Sorry, but I can’t help you because it’s relative grading.”

I knew she would help me even if she grumbled like that, so I couldn’t help but smile slyly, and Seo Yerim was making the exact same expression as me.

“Oh, man.”

Choi Yiseo shook her head and focused on the lecture again.

For Choi Yiseo like that, Seo Yerim and I decided to think about the lunch menu.

“Sundae gukbap.”

“We need to look good in front of Yiseo, so how about going somewhere with lots of vegetables like shabu-shabu today?”

“Somyeon gukbap.”

“There was also a place that sells chicken breast steak. It was delicious there.”

“Dwaeji gukbap.”

“Or how about just kimbap? There’s a place that sells it as a diet food called keto kimbap.”

“Kongnamul gukbap.”

“……I really want to break my head with a bowl of gukbap.”

I only mentioned four menus, but isn’t this too much?

“Choi Yiseo doesn’t diet anymore in the first place. She eats anything.”

Choi Yiseo, who didn’t need to diet, was now really not dieting.

However, she seemed to have something to say in her own way, so she glared at me.

“You just eat what you want to eat and then eat it like that.”

“And then, as you eat, you eat well.”

“……I’m going to work out really hard during winter vacation.”

I don’t know why she’s so obsessed with her body profile, but anyway, I guess she’ll do what she wants to do.

“Then let’s have kimbap for lunch! And gukbap for dinner! How about that?”

Seo Yerim, who came up with a compromise as a neutral country, but I shook my head.

“I have an appointment tonight.”

The two people’s gazes poured out at my words. It was much sharper than usual, perhaps because I went to the women’s dormitory yesterday.

“Where? Who with?”

“You have a lecture at 5 o’clock and you made an appointment for dinner?”

“I’m going to take a self-study break today because of that.”

Isn’t it crazy to have a five-hour break? I decided not to go because I needed to prepare for a day like today.

“Where? Who with? I want to go too.”

Seo Yerim clung to me tenaciously. I sighed and answered.

“Han Kang sunbae is coming?”

“Have a good time.”

I immediately defeated Seo Yerim.

I had planned to drink with Han Kang sunbae, but I didn’t know that the appointment would actually be made.

As soon as I defeated Seo Yerim, Choi Yiseo, who was next to me, slipped in quietly.

“Where are you eating? If it’s okay, I’ll… .”

“Ahn Hyunho is coming too?”

“……Do you have to edit it?”

Choi Yiseo immediately changed her words to let me know that she wouldn’t come.

Choi Yiseo was also defeated like this.

“It’s okay because I did a lot yesterday. The progress is going faster than I thought.”

Since I had already composed the shot while filming, I was able to edit it much faster.

To be honest, adding subtitles is the most annoying thing.

“It’s a men’s gathering.”

In addition.

It could be called a losers’ gathering.

* * *

Surprisingly, the person who hosted this gathering was not me, but Chanwoo.

He called me saying that he didn’t have a part-time job today and asked if he could have a drink, but I thought something had happened with Yooarin yesterday.

But out of the blue, Chanwoo called Pyo Jinho.

I thought he was up to something, but I summoned Han Kang and Ahn Hyunho so that I could stop them if they fought.

I also had the selfish desire to just deal with it all at once because the two of them had been asking me to drink separately since last time.

Suddenly.

The crazy lineup of men was complete.

Woong!

My cell phone rang while I was on my way to the samgyeopsal restaurant that Chanwoo had called.I was a little annoyed because I had just taken care of the bamboo forest, but it wasn’t that.

– Yoo Ah-rin –

I hesitated for a moment, but I answered the phone.

“Yeah, slave.”

– ……Where are you, master?

Can you take this?

“I didn’t think I’d take it.”

– Where are you? I’m bored, so let’s go to a PC room and edit together.

“Hmm.”

– Or I’ll go to your house.

“I have an appointment, so I’m out.”

– ……Lee Seo-rang and Ye-rin?

I don’t know why the two of you are mentioned first, but I denied it for now.

“No, I’m drinking with Chan-woo.”

As if I had defeated Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo, I mentioned Chan-woo’s name this time, but Yoo Ah-rin’s reaction was not good.

– Where are you? Let’s go together.

‘What?’

I thought Chan-woo would talk about Yoo Ah-rin, but did they start dating yesterday?

However, there is one more problem for Yoo Ah-rin.

“Is Pyo Jin-ho coming too?”

– ……Are you kidding me?

“I wish it was a joke. Chan-woo called me. I gathered people in case Chan-woo broke a glass with a soju bottle.”

– Ha.

A sigh that seemed to have many complex emotions. I waited to see what Yoo Ah-rin would say.

Click.

She just hung up.

“This b*tch?”

And after a few minutes, a long text message came in, asking me to pass it on to Pyo Jin-ho, but I just put my phone away because it was full of insults.

‘Was I a little late?’

I felt like I was late for my appointment because of Yoo Ah-rin, but I didn’t walk or run fast.

It was annoying, and it wasn’t that urgent of a meeting.

However, the moment I arrived at the samgyeopsal restaurant, I realized that I was a little wrong.

The table where everyone was except me.

Looking at the men sitting around the round table, grilling meat in silence, crossing their arms, or just looking at their cell phones.

“Oh, I can’t breathe.”

This isn’t even the Avengers.

‘Should I just go home?’

Chan-woo, who saw me turn around and try to leave the samgyeopsal restaurant, waved his hand and called me.

“Woo-jin-ah! Over here!”

“……I’m caught.”

In the end, I sat down in the seat that Chan-woo had grabbed me.

Han-kang and Ahn Hyun-ho glared at me, asking why I had called them.

And even Pyo Jin-ho, who had been beaten up like a dog by Yoo Ah-rin last time.

While we were all uncomfortable, I asked Han-kang awkwardly.

“When are you going to the army?”

“I postponed it to next year.”

“Huh? I thought you were told to go right away.”

So, I didn’t even take a break from school. I wondered why I was so nervous about the group project if I was going to do this.

“I postponed it without telling my parents.”

“…….”

“That’s why I’m wondering if I can stay at your house for a few days.”

“Your life is a legend.”

I thought it was almost like a YOLO tribe.

“Is it okay if you don’t edit?”

Ahn Hyun-ho, who had been looking at his cell phone next to Han-kang, asked slyly.

“I did a lot yesterday. This is the third time I’ve said this today.”

I’m not an editing machine, and I’m getting tired of it.

Ahn Hyun-ho and Han-kang were close, so they started talking to each other, and I spoke to the person who was most distant.

“Hello, hyung. I’m Kim Woo-jin, who introduced myself last time.”

When I greeted Pyo Jin-ho, he nodded awkwardly.

He was bulky, but his wounds from that day were still not healed, and his face was still pale.

I had nothing to say after I started talking.“……Yuarin asked me to tell you something. Should I show you? It’s a bit hard for me to say it myself.”

“No…….”

I said it as I could for now, but he refused right away. I felt stuffy as if I had hurt him more.

Finally, Chanwoo.

Chanwoo, who had been drinking without me knowing, said to me while passing the glass.

“Woojin, can you change seats with me?”

“……Why?”

Chanwoo answered my question with a smile.

“I think I’ll hit Senior Jinho’s head with an empty bottle if I stay here.”

Then why did you sit next to me?

Chanwoo’s face was red as if he had already had a few drinks before coming.

I immediately changed seats with him and offered him a drink to refresh the awkward atmosphere.

“Let’s have a drink…… Even if you get dumped by a woman, it’s not the end of the world.”

“Damn it.”

I don’t know who it was, but I just put down my glass because of the curse.

However, I felt my pride was hurt if I backed down here. I offered him a drink again and said a slogan.

“We are not losers.”

“Son of a b*tch.”

Another curse came from somewhere.

I looked around like I was looking for the mafia, but everyone kept their mouths shut and pretended not to be the one.

“Damn it, then do it right or get lost, you crazy b*tches. What a bummer.”

Starting with my sudden outburst, who was close to being cursed.

An awkward drinking party unfolded between men, suffocating.
