“Hey, what are you doing to my boyfriend, you bastards?”

The speech itself was poor, but the tone of the voice was somewhat light. That’s why first-year English literature students were able to receive it with a smile.

“Uh, senior Joohee?”

“Are you dating your senior?!”

“Hehe, that would be great.”

He said that, but it was obvious that he was joking rather than sincere.

That’s exactly the feeling I get when guys playfully make sex jokes.

It wasn’t very good, but it’s still the main captain, so I’ll pass on it.

“Group separation… … .”

“Senior, come have a drink with us!”

“that’s right! “I want to become friends with my senior!”

Minjoohee was especially popular with girls, and since she was an easy-going senior, I thought she might have a girl crush or something.

Because women usually like nice women more.

“Hmm?”

But Minjoohee secretly looks in my direction. It seems like he is reluctant to join me in drinking parties that I don’t want to because of him.

To be honest, I didn’t want to get involved.

However, I don’t really prefer eating and drinking with Minjoo-hee.

Even if we said it didn’t matter because there was a subject called homework earlier, it’s not the case now.

“are you okay.”

When she nodded and answered that there was no problem, the corner of Minjoo-hee’s mouth slowly turned up and she patted my back.

“What, I thought you wouldn’t like this?”

‘I hate it.’

But isn’t it a bit too much to spoil the atmosphere here?

Besides, if one of us naturally disappears while drinking, there won’t be a big problem.

Rather, since I was aiming for that, I was able to accept it without much thought.

The bar was not the place we originally wanted to go, but the place the kids wanted to go. He said he had already made a reservation over the phone and that he had to go, and that there would be separate meals.

“Please do not eat at this hour.”

As I entered the store and sat down, the waiter smiled and said,

“Shall we go out?”

Senior Joohee said seriously that she couldn’t let me starve, but she shook her head saying no.

“are you okay. “If you have snacks and beer, you’ll get full quickly.”

Since the other kids had already eaten and came to the bar, we ordered beer and a moderate amount of snacks or salads.

‘Eat some salad.’

That’s what I thought, but it looks like Caprase is made up of tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, and some kind of sauce.

It wasn’t my taste at all.

A lot of people are missing out on stories about kids smoking or going to the bathroom or to fix their makeup.

As Joohee went to smoke, she gave me a menu to tell me to order something to eat separately.

About two pages were filled with various types of alcohol, and let’s turn to the snacks section.

‘ah… … .’

Dry snacks, French fries, sotteok and sotteok, pizza, salad, gambas, assorted sausages, etc.

There are really a lot of good snacks.

I’m not picky about food, but I don’t know how I don’t want to eat it all.

“Not so good?”

Choi Yi-seo, who had been next to Ahn Hyeon-ho, the assistant manager, quietly came to the seat next to me.

Ahn Hyun-ho went to smoke with other kids and was not there.

“Sseu-eup, you can’t add rice to the assorted sausages, right? “With kimchi?”

“… … Are you sure?”

Choi Yi-seo looks at me, saying I’m dumbfounded.

“I want to buy some Hetbahn.”

As I was looking through the menu with regret, Yiseo Choi pointed out pizza.

“Do you hate pizza?”

Pizza is probably made of thin dough with some cheese and pepperoni on top anyway.

“I don’t hate it. It’s a bit hard to eat it as a substitute for rice… … .”

Even if you say it’s tricky, there’s nothing you can do about it.

I am a Korean who is driven by food.

“Well, I looked into choosing your menu first.”

Choi Yi-seo, who experienced the duo of meat and pork cutlet, shakes her head and says she is dizzy.

I thought I would just ignore it and fill my stomach with some dry snacks and beer.

“Are you really dating senior Joohee?”

Choi Yi-seo rests his chin and subtly asks. I asked quietly so that the remaining kids around me wouldn’t hear.

“No, we were together for a short time because of group work.”

Just like last time, I had the feeling that Choi Yi-seo had a plan and was approaching me, so I wasn’t particularly impressed by these questions.

“okay?”

Those actions that make him seem relieved are not because he is looking at me rationally.

‘Hmm.’

I feel like I am glad that there is a different intention.

Choi Yi-seo’s attitude has been very uneasy ever since she talked about her ex-girlfriend Oh Yun-ji.

“and.”

This time, he sticks closer to me and whispers.

“Hyunho, be careful. She was famous for her high school days… … “He looked at you unfavorably.”

“…….”

“I’m saying this because it’s exaggerated. “I don’t want to create a strange atmosphere by fighting among students in the same department.”

Well, I know.

Because anonymous 287 is writing a post criticizing me very diligently in the bamboo forest.

She is annoyed, so when she nods her head and answers that she understands, Yi-seo Choi sighs.

I was wondering if I had something to ask again, but this time it was a bit of a random question.

“Do you know the bamboo forest?”

“Gahyundae anonymous community?”

When I answered right away, the corners of Choi Yi-seo’s mouth rose slightly. It’s nice to see that I know about bamboo forests.

“Do you do this often?”

“often? “There are some interesting comics and articles posted there.”

what?

Why did Choi Yi-seo suddenly mention a bamboo forest?

“I see.”

“… … “Is this a strange question?”

I said that and tried to ask more.

“What are you doing?”

Ahn Hyun-ho and the gang, who have already finished smoking, return to their seats, and Choi Yi-seo quickly pulls her body back and returns to her original position.

“What did you two talk about? “Did it look fun?”

Ahn Hyun-ho asks with a smile as he sits down. She was laughing, and the corners of her mouth were trembling, so it seemed like she thought I was doing something.

“Just talk.”

“So what are you talking about?”

If it were just me and Ahn Hyun-ho, the atmosphere could have become a bit harsh.

“what? Are you jealous of Ahn Hyun-ho?!”

“Are you aiming for this? “We can’t do this together!”

“Hey! Look at him with a straight face! “The abuse of power is crazy!”

“Ah, what are you saying? “It’s just because I’m curious and want to engage in conversation.”

The students who came with us laughed without even noticing it, and as we even ordered beer, our conversation faded away.

“Woojin, what did you order?”

Senior Joohee, who came after her cigarette, taps her on the shoulder and asks. Considering the perfume smell coming from his body, he seems to have removed the cigarette smell out of consideration.

“It’s okay to just fill your stomach with beer.”

“I’m so sorry about that.”

“are you okay.”

Time passed after that.

Senior Joohee, who had been drinking heavily, said she felt sorry for me and kept offering me beer to fill my stomach.

It was ideal for Ahn Hyun-ho to try to subtly make Choi Yi-seo drink through things like drinking games and black roses.

I responded lightly to what senior Joohee said and made room for the girls in the department to have an open conversation with senior Joohee.

The kids were grateful and quickly sat down in my seat.

‘Slowly.’

It is time to fall naturally.

I just sent a message to senior Joohee and quietly went out.

‘Has it been about an hour?’

I drank a little, but I wasn’t so drunk that I was stumbling or unable to control myself.

‘I am hungry.’

Even though I ate beer and some snacks, my stomach wasn’t full and I was actually hungry.

The moment you are about to go to a nearby convenience store.

“Where.”

Choi Yi-seo’s voice came from behind.

When she turns her head, her expression is expressionless, so I see Choi Yi-seo looking at me.

Even though he drank a few more drinks than me, his expression didn’t change at all, so he seems to be a pretty heavy drinker.

“Why are you here?”

“I was annoyed that Ahn Hyun-ho kept trying to make me drink, so I just left.”

“It means she came with a bad mood.”

“… … “Not to that extent.”

But what she said was so wrong. Choi Yi-seo puts her hand in her coat pocket and turns her head.

“Because she wants to be someone who clearly says no to what she doesn’t like.”

Does the fact that she ended her sentence with ‘I want to’ mean that she hasn’t done that yet?

“Where else are you going? “She sneaks out on her own and then comes back?”

“Uh, I sent a message to senior Joohee.”

“What about the boat? “Are you full?”

I think he remembered that I said I wanted to eat earlier.

“No, so I’m going to the convenience store.”

She pointed to the convenience store in front of her and greeted me with that hand.

“Then goodbye.”

As I entered the convenience store and was contemplating what to eat, Yiseo Choi quietly followed me in.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Ramen and triangle kimbap.”

“… … “It sounds delicious.”

Was it a somewhat cruel menu for Choi Yi-seo, who was working hard to take a body profile photo?

I was about to ask him why he wasn’t going home, but I remembered that I couldn’t ask him about the bamboo forest earlier.

“Let’s eat together. “I’ll buy it for you, so take your pick.”

When I proposed the idea of having a little extravagance at a convenience store in my own way, Iseo Choi responded with a grin.

“When I’m with you, I keep eating snacks.”

“So you’re not going to eat it? “It’s rare for me to buy it for you.”

It’s real.

For the most part, I don’t buy things for other people.

Choi Yi-seo shook her head, saying it was absurd to hear what I said, then took the spicy stir-fried cup ramen and said,

“Kimbab too?”

“I’m getting fat.”

Yi-seo Choi snatches up a tuna triangle gimbap, as if he is angry that I said this.

After paying, we sit facing each other at the folding table outside and wait for the ramen to cook.

“The PT teacher will be angry.”

Choi Yi-seo speaks with a bitter smile. I thought there was a slightly awkward atmosphere, but neither Choi Iseo nor I are the type of person who forces themselves to talk to other people.

We just glanced at each other’s phones.

[Inquiry: 46]

‘and.’

Thinking about it, I hadn’t checked the bamboo forest for several hours, so as soon as I entered, there were a lot of inquiries that came to me.

The important thing was that it was all sent by one person.

As expected, it was Anonymous 69.

Anonymous 69: Manager, are you upset?

Anonymous69: Please answer me. I said I was sorry earlier.

Anonymous 69: It’s okay if you’re not a sickly silver-haired girl.

Anonymous 69: Is she really a sickly silver-haired girl?

Anonymous 69: A plate of soy sauce, milk, and eggs.

Anonymous69: Submit your assignment by tomorrow.

Now I know very well how just writing on my notepad can annoy me.

I wanted to lift the block, but doing so would be against fairness.

She didn’t reply, just ignored it and slowly raised her head.

Choi Yi-seo’s expression is extremely dark as she looks down at her cell phone.

‘What’s going on?’

It felt odd that my hands were shaking as if I wanted to throw my phone at any moment.

“The ramen is ready.”

I spoke a little early, tearing off my chopsticks, and thanks to my words, Yiseo Choi puts down her cell phone and eats her ramen.

“It’s not ripe?”

“I know.”

In fact, although it was a little undercooked, Choi Yi-seo’s expression itself returned to its original state.

After eating a few chopsticks, I got to the point.

“Why did you talk about the bamboo forest earlier?”

“You remembered?”

At her drinking party, Choi Yi-seo insinuatingly asked her if she wanted to create a bamboo forest. Because it was such a random question, she asked because she wanted to know something, and she confessed, looking down at her ramen as if avoiding eye contact.

“Yunji’s high school friends.”

Yunji Oh.

The name of her girlfriend, whom she dated and broke up with during her first semester, has been heard frequently recently.

“It seems like they are preparing something to write about you on the Bamboo Forest anonymous bulletin board.”

“Even if it’s an anonymous bulletin board, only Gahyeon University students can use it?”

“…….”

Choi Yi-seo did not answer.

But that was enough for her.

She is a student at Gahyeon University and Oh Yun-ji’s high school classmate, eating ramen right in front of my eyes.

“Anyway, be careful. If you happen to see your post on the bulletin board, tell the administrator right away and have them delete it. Understand?”

I don’t know what her relationship with her high school friends was, but she didn’t seem to have a very healthy relationship.

Anyway, were you worried about protecting me?

Yiseo Choi started eating her ramen again with a slightly relieved expression.

‘Ah, I hope you prepare really hard.’

I don’t know what kind of bullshit she’ll talk about, but I hope she stays up all night, pressing down on her keyboard with all that hate.

Her fingers itched to show how futile sniping was.

A long snippet of writing that they worked hard to put together.

The pleasure you get when you wake up in the morning and yawn and erase something in 3 seconds.

Anonymous69, this is sex.
