Chapter 51: Chocomong

So you mean to say you just went out to have fun and ended up letting Woojin touch your chest to tease him?

Yes.

But you didnt actually sleep together?

Right.

Sigh.

After hearing the entire story from Yu Arin, Choi Yiseo let out a long sigh and then looked at me with a shocked expression asking,

What is this nonsense now?

She must have wanted to curse me more but held herself back. Even I found what Yu Arin said to be absurd, but it was unfortunately the truth.

Shockingly, it is all truth.

As I spread my hands out like a magician in response, Choi Yiseos eyes twitched.

It seems I had properly provoked her, but fearing I might get hit if I teased further, I cleared my throat and answered.

I thought it would be unbelievable, so I tried to hide it. But really, nothing else happened.

If we must get into specifics , it was a relationship between the Administrator and the Admin1 of the Bamboo Forest.

I cant say that in front of Seo Yerin though.

Even if Choi Yiseo, who became permanently banned as Anonymous287 based on her student number, lost interest in the Bamboo Forest, I couldnt reveal that I was the Admin to Seo Yerin who is active as Anonymous69.

Especially, since weve had frequent talks under the guise of personal inquiries.

Just yesterday, Anonymous69 asked me to recommend some model numbers.

This is so crazy.

Watching Seo Yerin blush and look around because I touched Yu Arins chest, I mumbled to myself without realizing.

How can someone be so different in front and behind?

Personally, I find the behind more fun.

Well, anyway.

Yu Arin responds to Choi Yiseo, who is pressing her by saying shes fed up.

But why do I have to talk like Im being interrogated? Are you dating him?

Yu Arin bluntly asked Choi Yiseo and I perk my ears up at their talks.

Were not dating.

Choi Yiseo hesitated briefly before responding, and Yu Arin, looking as if she had caught her opponent, slyly smiled and said,

Right? Then why do I have to hear all this from you? Kim Woojin and you are just friends. What does it matter to you if he touches my chest or sleeps with me?

Although I find Yu Arins words annoying, she has a point. Even if Yu Arin and I were messing around, Choi Yiseo had no reason to interfere.

I

Just when I thought this incident would end with Yu Arins shamelessness and her self-destructive behavior triumphing.

I might date Woojin after my term as class rep ends!

Such a statement, worthy of a news headline, burst from Choi Yiseos lips.

Her face turned red, not from alcohol but from sheer embarrassment.

What?

The response took a moment to sink in, not just for Yu Arin but for me as well, the person in question, and Seo Yerin.

However, facing our reactions, Choi Yiseo decided to be bold, crossing her arms and shouting.

There is still the festival this semester, and Im busy being the rep, so I wont date but who knows about next year.

Uh

Now it was Yu Arin who was speechless, as if she had something stuck in her mouth.

I am the closest to Woojin right now, and he is whom Im most interested in, so Im just marking my territory in advance!

Choi Yiseo screamed, her face turning red.

She kept pressuring Yu Arin, who was flustered because she didnt expect this response.

So I am trying to keep weirdos away from Woojin. Are you interested in him?

I am not sure if this is what one calls giving flesh to take bone.

Or giving bone to take flesh. But from what I see, Choi Yiseo made a bold move.

Well, anyway, thanks to the bombshell statement, she definitely seized control of the conversation, and the justification was there.

In him?

Yu Arin glared at me at Choi Yiseos question.

And then she scowled and shouted.

Have you lost it? Whats so great about him!

What!

Why am I getting indirectly hit?

With manners like shit! And a weird nature! What character is there for this timid guy who touches the chest but doesnt cross the line?

Why are you attacking me now?

I am suddenly getting beaten down by words.

Upon hearing Yu Arins words, Choi Yiseo immediately said,

Woo-Woojin does have some weird things, a lot actually!

A lot?

I looked at Choi Yiseo, but she wasnt even looking at me.

His jokes are borderline and sometimes weird!

Can we just go home now?

This hurts me too much.

Anyway, he is a good guy!

After beating me up like this, then plastering a band-aid on me? By saying that Im good?

I am so grateful I could cry now.

Am I that weird?

When I sneaked a glance at Seo Yerin she just scratched her cheek and nodded.

And she is the one in the Bamboo Forest as a Sex God.

I suppressed the urge to ask that and sighed.

Sigh.

On the way home after several incidents, Choi Yiseos face was still flushed with heat.

Im going crazy.

Choi Yiseo wanted to take back what she said earlier.

I might date Woojin after my term as class rep ends!

That statement came to her mind.

It was actually a confession type not to lose to Yu Arin, but now she could only think of it as a stupid thing.

AHHHH! Choi Yiseo! You crazy woman! What were you thinking when saying that!

Choi Yiseo had arrived home but was too embarrassed to move and squatted down.

She felt like she wanted to run off somewhere.

Embarrassed to have confessed but the process and outcome being the worst played a huge part.

Who in their right mind would confess during a fight?

The feeling that Yu Arin kept approaching Kim Woojin made her think she had to put a stop to it, which was the biggest thought at the time.

Even to the point of letting him touch her chest, wasnt Yu Arin getting closer stubbornly?

She says shes not interested, but

What woman would allow a man she isnt interested in to touch her chest?

Kim Woojin has a strangely naive side, so Im worried he might end up dating her or something by getting dragged around.

Upon further thought, it really seemed like a possibility, which suddenly scared her.

Haa.

Honestly speaking.

Even until the moment before she spoke, Choi Yiseo hadnt clearly defined what kind of feelings she had for Kim Woojin.

It was comfortable and they were close, but mentioning him fooling with another girl somehow made her uncomfortable.

Through the conversations with Yu Arin, she was certain it was jealousy, and eventually, Choi Yiseo couldnt even hold back and blurted it out.

It was somewhat fortunate that the threat to Yu Arin made her confident about her feelings.

But since when!

Starting from the Minji incident, she had spent time with Kim Woojin, walking together or sharing moments multiple times.

The realization she came to was that she liked him more than just casually.

There were no dramatic lines or situations like in a movie.

On the contrary, the fact that she allowed her heart to be swayed every day, not by one specific event or words but simply by liking the person himself, wasnt bad at all.

Huh.

What should she think from now on?

First, there are no overlapping classes on Monday, so fortunately, she can let it slide, but Tuesday starts early with the same classes.

She was feeling a little nervous and worried.

The way Kim Woojin nonchalantly acted as if nothing had happened earlier kept flickering in her mind, making her clench her fists in irritation.

If they meet on Tuesday.

And he greets her like nothing is wrong, without showing any sign of care?

Then know that you are dead, Kim Woojin.

Yes, get home safe.

Take care on your way home, Yerin.

After dropping Seo Yerin off with a complicated look, Yu Arin stretched.

Things have turned weird.

The situation involving Kim Woojin had become complicated, requiring Yu Arin to intervene.

It was because of Yerin that I approached Kim Woojin.

Since high school, Seo Yerin had shown no interest in men; in fact, she had avoided them until now.

It was clear that the approach to Seo Yerin was malicious, intended to provoke jealousy, just like others had done.

The initial intention was negative, but it was not meant to be a lasting situation.

She had no desire to date him. If he knew that Seo Yerin had feelings for him, he would choose her.

The primary aim was to evoke jealousy in Seo Yerin.

It was a petty and cowardly act of revenge against a friend, a small amusement in an otherwise dull life.

Why did this weirdo get provoked?

It was not Seo Yerin, but Choi Yiseo who felt provoked by her actions and said so.

She had never expected Choi Yiseo to confess like that, but viewed from another angle, it seemed she had indeed created a sense of crisis.

Ah, what should we do now?

Even if Yu Arin didnt intervene, Choi Yiseo would approach Kim Woojin, and with a more threatening rival emerging, she was curious as to how Seo Yerin would react.

Whats so great about that guy?

Yu Arin clicked her tongue, pondering Kim Woojin.

Both Seo Yerin and Choi Yiseo.

They were among the most popular in the department, so she wondered why they were so interested in him.

Even if it wasnt love, it was evident they both liked him.

Hes not my type in looks, and I dont like his personality. Hes not a bad guy, but he doesnt have friends to hang out with either.

Reflecting on it, it was true.

Why hadnt she noticed such a person in the first semester?

Quirky, yet possessing a charming nature

Yah! Im calling you!

At that moment.

A hand strikes down on Yu Arins forehead, and startled, she turns to find Kim Woojin looking annoyed.

Kim Woojin?

Ah! What are you thinking about that you dont even answer when someone is calling you?

Just

What are you mumbling about? You were probably thinking something bad again.

How did he know?

Why are you here?

He left alone, looking sad when they said goodbye.

I came back because I had something to tell you.

Something to tell me?

She wondered what he wanted to say suddenly, but he began to spill the beans without a care.

On Sundays, the religious club usually posts a lot of spam. Dealing with that is like poking a hornets nest.

Ahhh.

She wondered what he was saying, but it was about the Bamboo Forest.

Timing is everything then.

Looking at Kim Woojin, who had both presence and absence of mind, Yu Arin sighed.

Honestly, she didnt want to hear anything else when her mind was confused.

And if someone curses you, block them right away. Since all the inquiries come to me, you dont have to worry.

Okay.

As Admin, you need to maintain your dignity. If the subordinate gets swayed, it will undermine my authority too.

Right.

I usually block them for a day, but for those who get blocked again, I give them three days.

Fine.

And dont try to take the blame and make me the victim like earlier.

Fine.

Yu Arin turned her head, wondering if she had heard correctly. When her eyes met Kim Woojins, he took a Chocomong out from the pocket of his jacket.

You worked hard today. Drink this.

While doing so, what he took out from the opposite pocket was his own Hersheys chocolate milk.

It meant he bought chocolate milk from different brands. It seems he remembered her drinking Chocomong the last time.

As Yu Arin accepted the Chocomong, Kim Woojin sighed.

Dont fight with them over silly things. They are the good ones.

What about me?

Why did she ask that?

She didnt know why, but Yu Arin just wanted to ask.

Youre a bad one. You always have some scheme and keep provoking others.

The response was evident, and the atmosphere turned cold. Yu Arin was tempted to discard the Chocomong she just received. But

But it seems like you have your reasons.

She wondered what he meant by that.

Seo Yerin, Jeong Chan-woo, and you. Something must have happened between the three of you during high school. And because of that, you turned a bit twisted.

Right.

But Kim Woojin also only knew up to there and didnt know any of the details.

Does it make any difference if theres a reason?

Shes a bad person.

Adding to that, Yu Arin asked roughly, and Kim Woojin chuckled.

If there is a reason, it means you became a bad guy. Then doesnt it mean you were originally a good guy?

Simple.

Too simple too.

So simple that it made one wonder if it is possible to see the world this simply.

Simpleton.

As Yu Arin sharply said that, Kim Woojin laughed, inserted a straw into the chocolate milk, and took a sip.

Youre the one whos too complicated.

Watching Kim Woojin respond, Yu Arin felt her previously confused mind clear up a slightly.

Nothing had changed, but still, talking with him felt like a breath of fresh air.

When I told the guys earlier that I was going to your room.

Hmm?

You deliberately said lets go. To avoid making the atmosphere weird. To divert the arrow to you.

I dont know. I dont know.

He was drinking his Hersheys milk, signaling that he didnt want to talk about it anymore.

Sighing at his words, she felt strange but realized he was walking her home.

Uh?

Their paths home werent the same.

Yet, he was walking by her side.

Realizing this, Yu Arin noticed that he was seeing her off.

The moment she realized that consideration was being shown without a word.

Yu Arin walks, inserting a straw into the Chocomong he gave her.

There was no need to match their steps.

Because he was already doing that for her.

Sip.

The Chocomong tasted sweeter than usual.

Ah! Its so sweet!

To prevent herself from feeling weird, Yu Arin had no choice but to deliver a spinning kick to Kim Woojins butt.
