Bamboo Forest Manager

Yu Arin and Seo Yerin had fallen asleep before I knew it.

Their pillows were soaked, and the two of them lay on my arms, eyes tightly shut, breathing rhythmically.

‘Achievement unlocked.’

Who would have thought I’d end up in a threesome?

And with Seo Yerin and Yu Arin, no less.

I had my way with both of them, who had been best friends since high school.

I don’t know how things will turn out later, but at least today was quite fulfilling, wasn’t it?

‘Man, this is exhausting.’

It was my first time dealing with two women, so it was overwhelming.

How should I put it?

Like giving two bowls of food to a dog, watching it frantically switch back and forth?

Seeing Seo Yerin and Yu Arin naked in front of me made me feel like I’ve lost my mind.

Now, my senses have returned.

Is this what they call post-nut clarity?

‘I’m really screwed.’

An achievement is an achievement, but I thought I would really take this to my grave. Eventually, my eyes slowly closed as fatigue and drowsiness washed over me.

---

“Ah, I’m really tired.”

“Look at Kim Woojin sleeping comfortably just because he quit on his own.”

“Hmm?”

I forced my still heavy eyelids open at the sound of voices.

The weight I had felt on both arms was gone, the window was open along with the curtains, and Seo Yerin and Yu Arin were getting dressed in their underwear.

If it were any other time, I would have quickly opened my eyes wide to store as much of their bodies in my brain as possible.

“Have a good day.”

I had already seen their naked bodies too many times, so I closed my eyes again.

“You’re acting so relaxed because you’ve already had your fill!”

Yu Arin immediately stomped on me, probably because she was annoyed, but it didn’t hurt much since I was still sleepy.

“Woojin, can you not leave until we come back?”

Seo Yerin warns while buttoning her shirt.

“…I’m going.”

I replied petulantly, thinking I would sleep a little more and then leave quickly, and Seo Yerin clicked her tongue.

“Come with us. Okay?”

“Then I have to stay for another week. Are you telling me to stay here until then?”

I’m not some kind of parasite.

Isn’t it wrong to secretly live in their room without the other girls knowing?

“Then just stay until we come back. Okay? I’ll see you off.”

“No, I’m leaving before you come back.”

As I sluggishly pulled the blanket over my face, Yu Arin strongly agreed.

“Yeah, I think it’s right for you to go. If it gets awkward again, you might end up leaving late.”

Precisely.

I had a hunch too.

If I wait for them today and the atmosphere gets strange again, I won’t be able to resist.

So, isn’t that just another day passing by?

It’s not some kind of sex loop. I thought if I stayed, I’d end up being stuck with them forever, so I decided to leave quickly.

“That’s what I was aiming for.”

Besides, eerily enough, all three of us had the same thought, and one of us was actually welcoming it.

That was the truly scary part.

Are they planning to have sex forever?

“Ugh, damn. My legs hurt.”

“I’m still numb.”

Listening to the groans of the two struggling to put their pants on, I closed my eyes in satisfaction.

Anyway, the others will go to work, so I’ll sleep a bit more and leave around lunchtime.

“But, Yerin.”

‘When are you leaving?’

Isn’t it late?

I wondered why they were still getting ready when they must have slept so little.

“You’re Anonymous69, right?”

Yu Arin’s sharp question hit it’s mark.

I can feel Seo Yerin sending me a distress signal from outside the blanket.

I burrow even deeper into the blanket.

I will never let go.

Because it’s dangerous outside the blanket.

“Your way of speaking and actions are exactly like Anonymous69. Aren’t you that one, the Sex God?”

“N-n-n-no, I’m not.”

From the way her voice is trembling, it’s already over.

She’s useless except for having a pretty face.

Sex?

That’s just something she likes.

Acting?

Looking at her, I wonder if she’s ever had any talent as an actress.

“I-I’m a-a-an otaku!”

“Cut the crap. Now that I think about it, Kim Woojin said last time that the Sex God was in our department. That’s you.”

“……”

Thud! Thud!

Seo Yerin is probably stepping on me, but I ignore it.

“Enough, we’ve already seen everything anyway, so what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Yu Arin tries to comfort her in her own way, but Seo Yerin continues to make huffing sounds like a steam engine, grieving.

“My, my image…”

Is she crazy?

I seriously wanted to ask what kind of image she thought she had, but I held back because I felt like I’d get beaten up if I went outside the blanket right now.

“What image? We’re going to be late. Let’s go, Yerin.”

“Sniff! The Admin is annoying! I’m going to spam and post lewd pics today!”

“Don’t do it!”

“Don’t do it!”

I snap back immediately while lifting the blanket. The funny thing was that Yu Arin did it at the same time.

“What is this synchronization?”

Seo Yerin looks at us alternately, puffing her cheeks in jealousy.

“Let me do it too! Since Arin already knows my true identity, just make me an admin too!”

Seo Yerin grumbles, saying there’s no point in holding back since everything’s been revealed anyway.

“Ah, I get it. Let’s just go. We’re really going to be late. The others are calling us.”

The voices of Lee Se-ah and Han Bom from outside.

Since it was really time to go to work, Yu Arin dragged Seo Yerin away and left.

I thought they might at least say goodbye, but since we would meet again in a few days, there was no need for formalities-

“Hey, take care.”

“Contact us when you arrive.”

I thought they wouldn’t, but they peeked their heads around the door and said goodbye.

I waved back and lay back down.

‘The scent is still here.’

The places where Seo Yerin and Yu Arin’s scent and warmth still lingered.

It felt oddly comforting rather than exciting, so I calmly closed my eyes.

Soon enough, I fell asleep.

---

“……”

Slowly, my eyes opened.

I was incredibly tired, but it felt like someone forcibly woke me up.

In reality, there was no noise, no one shaking me, nothing like that.

I just woke up, really quietly and calmly.

That was it.

I opened my eyes in such stillness that I could have been a corpse.

Isn’t that strange?

I was definitely incredibly tired.

The sunlight streaming in and the chilly breeze told me it was still morning.

Why did I wake up again?

Why did I open my eyes?

My sleepy mind slowly began to think.

I was still terribly tired, and my body hadn’t recovered, so my eyelids felt heavy as if telling me to sleep immediately.

Even as I closed my eyes again, my thoughts didn’t stop.

Why did I wake up?

There were exactly two reasons.

One was the coldness.

It wasn’t the fresh wind coming in through the open window, but the coolness my body held.

The other was the smell.

The smell of cigarettes.

Yes, the smell of cigarettes strong enough to be somewhat overwhelming filled my nose.

‘Cigarettes?’

I rolled my eyes downward to find the source.

Almost falling asleep with my eyes closed, I managed to discover the identity of the coolness and the cigarette smell.

“……”

A black-haired woman blinking her eyes.

For some reason, she was lying as if she was nestled in my arms and had been looking up at me even before I looked down.

‘What is this.’

Surprisingly, people.

Don’t get too shocked when something unimaginable happens.

Min Ju-hee was lying as if she was nestled in my arms, burrowed under the blanket.

Yet, I felt no particular emotion.

Was it because I was too shocked to move or just too sleepy to respond?

Senior Ju-hee, who made eye contact with me, blinked her large eyes a few times and then froze.

It seemed to take her some time to grasp the reality, just like me.

‘Is it really senior Ju-hee?’

Tap.

I placed my hand on the head of senior Ju-hee, who was nestled in my arms.

It was real.

I could feel the texture.

Hmm.

I see.

‘It’s stiff.’

That was it.

I slowly closed my eyes again.

---

“Ugh.”

Waking from sleep, I immediately checked the time on my phone.

It was now 1 PM.

It was exactly lunchtime, so I got up lazily and tried to fix my tousled hair.

“I guess I can’t take a shower…”

I glanced at the bathroom wistfully, then pulled out a hat from my suitcase and put it on snugly.

Since I still have some time left on my rental contract, and I haven’t sorted out my things there, I decided to go home and take a shower.

‘I guess I’ll have to organize my stuff when I get there.’

Since I’ll be moving into the dormitory, I’ll be busy preparing for that too, which made me sigh.

After checking my appearance in the mirror, I pulled my suitcase and headed outside.

• Choi Yiseo: Did you come back yesterday?

When I replied to Choi Yiseo, who had just sent me a message, that I was coming today, she suggested we have dinner together if I wasn’t too tired.

“I really am a bad bastard.”

Cursing at myself, I replied that I would pay, hoping it would make me feel a little better.

Since I’d be having a late dinner, I thought I could sleep more on the bus, take a shower at home, and then go out.

• Choi Yiseo: Since you’ll be tired, should we just eat at your place?

‘Why does that suggestion sound so suggestive?’

This situation had been unfolding strangely since yesterday, so even Choi Yiseo’s calm proposal felt like a temptation.

• Kim Woojin: No, no. I’m tired of delivery food. Let’s eat out.

• Choi Yiseo: Sure, is there anything specific you want to eat?

While pondering the menu, I catch the bus that arrives at the stop just in time.

We decide to figure out the menu together when we get there, and I turn my gaze out the window.

Now, if I go to the intercity bus terminal and take the bus back, I can sleep for a few more hours.

“Phew, I’m finally leaving.”

I feel a mix of relief and regret as I watch the Gold One Hotel fade into the distance.

I had many experiences and underwent many changes.

The university life that will start again.

Now a sophomore, I felt proud thinking about living as a slightly more mature Kim Woojin.

The relationship between Seo Yerin and Yu Arin has gotten a bit complicated, and if Choi Yiseo finds out, I might be dead.

Whatever it is, for now…

“Damn, what the hell!?”

Why was senior Min Ju-hee in my arms?
