Choi Yiseo had left.
It was expected, but there was still a bit of regret.
Since it was enjoyable seeing her after a long time, even if it was brief, the feeling of parting was significant.
âIf youâre Kim Woojin and youâre upset about not touching Choi Yiseoâs chest, upvote. Iâll start.â
âIâm Kim Woojin, and I upvoted.â
ââ¦â¦â
Seo Yerin and Yu Arin have no consideration for my troubled heart.
Even while having lunch together in the staff cafeteria, they never miss a chance to tease me.
âIâm really Kim Woojin, and I donât regret it at all.â
I denied it while eating soup with a spoon, but their piercing stares remain unchanged.
âIf youâre Kim Woojin and you asked how to greet a girl you became awkward with in the Bamboo Forest early this morning, upvote.â
âCough!?â
ââ¦Truly, upvote-worthy.â
I coughed involuntarily at Seo Yerinâs sudden ambush, causing Yu Arin to grimace in disgust.
âHow, how did you know?! I wrote and deleted it briefly at dawn!â
âHehe, Iâm the spirit of the Bamboo Forest.â
Anyway, both of them know that Iâm the Administrator, and Seo Yerin knows that Yu Arin is the moderator.
But thereâs just one thing.
âWhatâs Yerinâs Bamboo Forest number?â
Only Yu Arin doesnât know Seo Yerinâs identity.
ââ¦â¦â
ââ¦â¦â
The two of us looked at each other at the same time.
I looked to Seo Yerin for cues, wondering if it was okay to tell Yu Arin.
âOh dear.â
Seeing her turn pale and break out in a cold sweat, it seemed absolutely forbidden.
âItâs an anonymous community, why do you want to know that?â
âWhat, thatâs an unconvincing persuasion.â
Yu Arin looked puzzled.
âIf Yerin knew you were the Admin from the start, shouldnât she join as the second Bamboo Forest admin by now?â
Since Yu Arin became the first admin under the condition that she knew the Adminâs identity.
Seo Yerin had mentioned wanting to be the second admin last time, but now itâs a little different.
If she accepts, Yu Arin would know that Seo Yerin is Anonymous69.
âNo, that was just to get you involved. We donât force anyone just because they discovered the Adminâs identity.â
âYou littleâ¦â
Yu Arin started to grumble, but I made my own excuses.
âThere are quite a few people who know Iâm the Admin, not just you. So just let it slide. We donât really need more admins right now anyway.â
Actually, Seo Yerin is just Anonymous69.
There are only a few people like Anonymous90 in the Physical Therapy department, and senior Lee Eun-woo, who has now graduated and handed over the role of administrator to me.
Still, to exaggerate a bit, Yu Arin just breezes through it with a nasal voice.
It seems like the atmosphere didnât feel particularly welcoming.
âWell, as long as you donât pick fights like 11 or act like a sex maniac like 69.â
Immediately, Seo Yerin cringes and shrinks back.
Does she have the intention to hide it?
Poke. Poke.
Under the table, Seo Yerin is bumping her foot against mine, signaling for help with a red alert.
In that case.
I decided to choose the lesser of two evils.
âAnonymous243.â
â243? Whoâs that?â
Even Yu Arin couldnât remember all the numbers.
âAnime enthusiast.â
âOh, the otaku!â
Yu Arin slams the table and nods vigorously.
It seems she understood.
âI donât watch anime.â
But Seo Yerin couldnât accept it.
âThis girlâ¦â
When asked for help and given, she says she doesnât want it again.
Staring at Seo Yerin while she avoided my eyes.
âWhat are you talking about? You watch anime every day after work.â
Yu Arin countered immediately.
âYou watch a ton of anime in the dorm.â
ââ¦â¦â
Seo Yerin kept her mouth shut.
I was dumbfounded and had to say something.
âIf youâre going to hide it, canât you at least think before you speak?â
âI watch a lot of other things besides anime.â
âThatâs true. Yerin watches a lot of dramas and movies too.â
A typical homebody.
It was very Seo Yerin-like.
Having nurtured her lasciviousness at home, she ultimately became Sex God.
âBut why did the conversation go this way?! Werenât we teasing Woojin?â
Seo Yerin, having regained her composure, hurriedly changes the subject.
She thought she had successfully diverted the conversation that was about Choi Yiseo earlier, but it came back around.
âSo, did you say goodbye to Yiseo? Did you wish her well?â
ââ¦I did.â
I saw her off in the morning, telling her to be careful.
Choi Yiseo, noticing my awkwardness, smiled and said weâd see each other after the break.
âYiseo looked pretty after a long time.â
âHer grown-out hairâ¦looked nice.â
Seo Yerin and Yu Arin naturally began to compliment Choi Yiseo. Her slightly short hair had grown down to her shoulders, giving her a different aura.
Thanks to her healthy physique, she now exuded elegance.
âShe did look pretty.â
When talking to girls, itâs important to empathize.
This was a rare topic that I could genuinely relate to, so I agreed quickly.
Thwack!
Immediately, Yu Arin kicked my calf under the table.
Seo Yerinâs foot, which had been stepping on mine earlier, stretched out and pressed against my groin.
ââ¦You guys were the ones praising her.â
I tried to speak up in frustration, but it was no use.
The two who had finished eating first rose.
I too finished my meal and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
Vrrr!
My phone buzzed.
It was a message from Seo Yerin, who had just been eating with me.
Seo Yerin: Youâll keep it a secret that Iâm a se*x god, right?
She still seemed worried about what we had been talking about earlier.
It must mean she really doesnât want anyone else to find out.
âBut it might be a bit risky.â
Yu Arin seems to have forgotten, but when we were looking for Anonymous90âs identity before, I mentioned that I knew who Anonymous69 was.
If Yu Arin had slightly better memory and deductive skills, it wouldnât be hard for her to figure out it was Seo Yerin.
Whatever it may be, for now.
Kim Woojin: I wonât tell.
I gave the obvious answer since I had no intention of telling.
Her reaction is odd.
Seo Yerin: But you never know. What if Arin asks you to tell her while saying sheâll do it once? Would you still not tell her?
Kim Woojin: How do you view your friend?
Seo Yerin has been making a lot of crazy statements lately, but this seemed a bit over the line.
Seo Yerin: Arenât you using this to blackmail me?
Seo Yerin: Like making unreasonable demands, shaming me, or asking for my body.
Seo Yerin: Telling me to work without panties, filming a sex video together, tying me up and sending it forcefully.
Kim Woojin: How do you see me?
Seo Yerin: Menâs fantasies are all the same! They probably think they can use my weaknesses to make me do all sorts of dirty things!
Kim Woojin: Thatâs your fantasy.
Seo Yerin: So, to hide my identity, I would pretend to listen to you and gradually fall into corruption.
Kim Woojin: Youâre already corrupted; where else can you fall into?
No reply.
Thinking it had finally quieted down, I started brushing my teeth, but another message came in.
Seo Yerin: Not doing it?
Ugh, how annoying.
Kim Woojin: No.
Seo Yerin: Why?
Kim Woojin: Why? Thereâs no reason not to.
Seo Yerin: Do it.
ââ¦â¦â
I stared blankly at my phone.
In the bathroom mirror, I saw my reflection with a cold, disappointed expression.
Seo Yerin: Donât you have to?
Seo Yerin: (emoji)
I was contemplating what to send to Seo Yerin, who was sending angry emojis.
Kim Woojin: If I tell you to spread it, youâll just spread it anyway.
I tried to reply in a way that suited Seo Yerinâs taste.
Wooong! Wooong! Wooong!
Seo Yerin -
She called immediately.
I spit the toothpaste out, rinsed my mouth, and answered the phone.
ââ¦Hello.â
That was a good line, Woojin?!
Iâm really getting dizzy.
Should I leave early today?
âI said something I thought youâd like.â
Thereâs a certain situation, you know. I want to feel like Iâm being pushed away, bounce back, and then finally conquered.
âThis isnât that sort of place.â
What kind of situation does she want to explain?
Hey, you tied Arin up and did it. Forcing her.
ââ¦â¦â
I just kept my mouth shut.
Surely, I had enjoyed it with Seo Yerin in that way.
Next time we do it, should we try it like that? What do you think?
âWell, that⦠Letâs talk about it then.â
Okay! Sounds good! Iâm excited!
Seo Yerin, now in a good mood, mixes in some aegyo with her nasal voice.
âGet back to work.â
Got it!
Seo Yerin hangs up.
A sigh naturally escapes.
But just imagining it made my lower body tense up a little.
âRatherâ¦â
How about I really scold her harshly next time?
To the point where Seo Yerin would be reluctant to even mention the word sex.
âWould that be possible?â
Well, it was just a thought.
Having finished brushing my teeth, I washed my hands and went back to work on Room Service.
I had to switch shifts with the deputy manager for lunch later.
When I went to the office, Yu Arin was folding napkins with the other kids.
As I walked past her, I took revenge for the calf strike earlier and for telling Seo Yerin what we did.
Slap!
âHic?!â
âDeputy Manager! Time for your meal!â
The crisp sound of the slap and Yu Arinâs scream rang out, but my voice was louder and drowned it out.
âDamn itâ¦!â
Breathing heavily and clutching her butt, Yu Arin glared at me, and I gave her a thumbs up, saying it was satisfying.
