Chapter Index

    “Aaaahhh!”

    bang! bang! bang! bang!

    She kicked the desk and threw the chair, but Minji’s anger did not go away at all.

    Yesterday, as he watched the long snippets of writing he had been up all night writing disappearing in just two seconds, his heart broke and he was extremely frustrated.

    Moreover, I couldn’t help but feel angry because the manager kept deleting my posts and even provoking me.

    “pup! pup! pup!”

    Minji was venting her anger by throwing things around her and hitting them with her fists, as if she was having a seizure.

    “Kwaaaah!”

    It wasn’t that I was angry because of what happened yesterday, and I just burst out in anger because I got a call from some of the close seniors I had just sent.

    Minji, I’m sorry, but we’re all at the police station right now.

    I didn’t say anything about you. I think it’s best to stop messing with him now.

    This is crazy.

    When he left, he was so confident that his seniors were running away now, and it was so pitiful that he felt frustrated.

    “You fucking bastard!”

    Is it right to use the police to address sex offenders?

    Is South Korea’s public power only at this level?

    Minji was gritting her teeth and trying to find another way.

    Ugh!

    My cell phone vibrated.

    She was a little scared because her seniors had just told her they were at the police station, but she checked her cell phone.

    My friend Yunji

    Oh Yoon-ji, who had not been in contact for a while, called her.

    “……!”

    She momentarily felt something caught in her throat, but she gingerly took the phone with her trembling hands.

    “Hello?”

    hello? I’m sorry Minji. I’ve been a bit busy lately so I couldn’t answer the phone.

    “Oh, no. no.”

    But why did you call me so much? Same goes for Lee Seo. Other kids called a lot too.

    I wanted to ask what on earth he was so busy doing that he didn’t even notice the call.

    Minji answered while gritting her teeth.

    “Well, you know. “Your ex-boyfriend.”

    … … why?

    A cold voice.

    I felt as if I had come face to face with a snarling beast, asking me to trespass into an area I shouldn’t have dared to enter.

    “He, he talks a lot these days! “You broke up crying too!”

    It did.

    She is on the phone, dripping with bitter emotions. But she soon smiled brightly and answered.

    But it’s okay. Because I’ll be there soon.

    “… … uh?”

    We broke up, but it wasn’t our problem. There were other external problems.

    “…….”

    Minji’s mouth closes tightly.

    It felt like the various distracting thoughts in her head were clearing up, as if the fog had cleared.

    so? Why Woojin? Did something happen?

    “Well, that…” … .”

    Minji rolled her eyes and thought she should say something, but she had nothing to say.

    Pop.

    I hung up the phone and threw my cell phone away.

    Kwasik!

    The cell phone was smashed as it hit the ground.

    “Huh! “Huh!”

    Oh Yun-ji has always been like that.

    From his name, he says that he is similar to himself and that his friends, Yunji and Minji, are like sisters.

    In fact, the lives of the two people diverged sharply.

    “I-I…” … .”

    Memories of being forced by my boyfriend.

    Memories of inviting other people to sleep with me.

    In the end, I remember saying I was useless and leaving for another woman.

    I remember being beaten and laughed at when I finally caught him.

    All of that.

    Not Oh Yun-ji’s.

    The moment you realize it’s yours.

    You begin to sink into unbearable self-loathing.

    The night has already become dark.

    It feels good to see the starlight rising along with the chilly autumn wind.

    I was bored because it was Sunday, but I still felt like I had a good day.

    Of course, I didn’t want to have to go to school again tomorrow.

    “What a fulfilling day.”

    “… … what?”

    As she said that as she left the hospital, Yiseo Choi, who was next to her, glanced at me and asked.

    I thought he had a great time spending the day with me.

    “Going to the police station, going to the hospital, exercising, seeing bad guys kneeling and crying, smelling Choi’s sweat… … .”

    Wow!

    “Ugh!”

    I was momentarily staggered by the low kick that came right away. It doesn’t look like he learned anything, but he does it well, so he seems to have a lot of talent.

    “Ha, really. Still, I’m glad you have a good mentality. “I was nervous all day today, so it was a big deal.”

    “Oh, I guess I have to go to the hospital again?”

    “As you said… … “I can’t even wash.”

    Choi Yi-seo ignores my complaints and sniffs the scent of his own sweat.

    The sweat was all dried, but I couldn’t wash it off because I was being called here and there. Of course, that was the same for me.

    “So just go.”

    “How can you do that? “It happened because of my friend.”

    Choi Yi-seo sighs deeply as she says that. He seemed tired because he had to meet his friend again when he got home.

    “Has Joohee sunbae gone home?”

    “Oh, I got a call. “He says he’ll see you later at the lecture.”

    She replies to senior Minjoo-hee by replying to her message from earlier.

    For your information, Captain Joo.

    So Min-hee Min went with them to the police station and watched what happened to them.

    It seemed like they were once close friends. Since the senior was his old friend, he did not ask for leniency from me or take their side.

    He just folded his arms and watched steadily as if it was his last act of loyalty.

    ‘It’s so fucking cool.’

    Anyway, Captain Joo was a wonderful person in many ways.

    She tried to go home, but Choi Yi-seo didn’t stop walking.

    At one point she started to feel sluggish on her feet and eventually she stopped.

    “It’s over there… … .”

    And she calls me carefully. Even though she was hesitant, her vague demeanor and the slightly flushed look on her face indicated that she was feeling ashamed.

    “Can I sleep at your house for one night?”

    Meaning that she doesn’t even want to go into the house where her friend Minji is. For some reason, he wasn’t answering my phone or seeing my chat messages, so I guess I was scared to meet him.

    That’s why I answered with a sigh.

    “Of course not.”

    “…….”

    “You’re trying to enter a man’s house somewhere. Is that it? “Is my body the purpose?”

    “it’s crazy?!”

    Choi Yi-seo screams, her face turning red. Thanks to this, she caught the attention of people around her, and she was embarrassed and walked past me with great strides.

    “It’s okay, I was a fool for asking.”

    “Oh, you idiot.”

    Naturally, I came next to her and pointed to a tall building.

    “Let’s go there instead.”

    “… … Korean Sauna?”

    24-hour sauna.

    You can wash, relieve fatigue, take a steam bath, and even stay overnight.

    I snatched the wrist of Choi Yi-seo, who was looking up at the sauna blankly, and headed towards the sauna.

    After receiving a sauna suit for her stay, the man was on the 3rd floor and the woman was on the 5th floor, so she got off the elevator first and said,

    “Call me when you’re done washing up. “Let’s have dinner.”

    “Oh, yes.”

    Perhaps because the situation is moving so quickly, Choi Yi-seo still nods her head as if she is possessed by something.

    ‘I wonder if I can wash well like that.’

    Well, if you go into cold water and come out, you’ll come to your senses right away.

    As she soaked her body in hot water in her bathhouse for the first time in a long time, her mood relaxed.

    She had been slapped on the cheek and they put gauze on her to treat it, but it was annoying so she just took it off and washed it.

    After washing up and going into the sauna, there were still a lot of people there, probably because it was the weekend.

    There are a lot of people and the sauna is spacious.

    Even if Choi Yi-seo appears here, it would be difficult to find me.

    Originally, I would have liked a corner seat, but he might have some strange misunderstanding, so I just took a seat in the very front where there was a huge TV.

    Woojin Kim: In front of the TV.

    Simply send a message and lie down on the mat. Was I more tired than I thought?

    Before I knew it, I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep.

    “What, are you sleeping?”

    Choi Yi-seo’s voice is absurd.

    I slowly woke up, feeling refreshed by how much time had passed, and before I knew it, many people around me had disappeared.

    Even though it was the weekend, tomorrow was Monday, so no one seemed to be staying overnight.

    “What, how much did you wash?”

    “About two hours? It’s been a while since I’ve been to the bathroom… … .”

    “Are you Bossam? “You’re boiling your body.”

    “Okay, let’s eat. Are not you hungry?”

    When I heard those words, I felt hungry. Even though the food at a jjimjilbang is a bit expensive, there is something special about eating here.

    Even though it was late, fortunately the restaurant inside the sauna was still open.

    Choi Yi-seo ordered soft tofu stew and I ordered yukgaejang.

    “Is it okay to eat stew?”

    “Today is okay.”

    Well, it doesn’t matter if you’re okay with it.

    While waiting for my food, I check out the school’s bamboo forest.

    I was wondering if something might have been posted again, but fortunately the bamboo forest was peaceful.

    Anonymous 57: Where is the bastard who told me to buy BRA stocks? It’s minus 60 now.

    Anonymous 69: I want to have sex ahhh!

    Anonymous 86: Please don’t feed the cats near the university.

    Anonymous 11: There was a lot of trouble today with the police on the walkway in front of the school. Does anyone know what happened?

    Anonymous77: JLY! The Lord loves you. You can sign up immediately when you come to the east. Cross presented. (。♥‿♥。)

    -Anonymous 111: Yes. Tomorrow is Monday, and since Popo is open, we plan to broadcast 24 hours a day! Anyone please come visit!

    “Uh, there’s a story about us in the bamboo forest.”

    If the police came on the promenade, it’s about us, right? Then Choi Yi-seo said he was curious and turned on his cell phone.

    “Oh right.”

    “hmm?”

    quite.

    Unbelievable words came out.

    “I was stopped in the bamboo forest.”

    “… … “You got suspended?”

    Stopped in a bamboo forest?

    “Yeah, I don’t know, but I’m suspended.”

    At her words, I absentmindedly go into the bamboo forest manager settings.

    If you look at what they’re saying, they say they were permanently suspended, but while I was the administrator, there was only one person who was permanently suspended.

    Anonymous287.

    He sniped at me and was just about to write stories about me and Choi Yi-seo.

    The user I thought was Ahn Hyun-ho.

    ‘what?’

    My head got a little confused.

    I only blocked Anonymous 287.

    No one is blocked right now.

    “Wow, that sounds delicious.”

    Choi Yi-seo smiles brightly as she looks at her soft tofu stew.

    On the other hand, I continue to think without saying a word while stirring the beef stew with a spoon.

    There are two possibilities.

    What Choi Yi-seo is saying now is a lie, so she wasn’t blocked from the bamboo forest.

    Or, they say that they are Anonymous 287.

    In fact, there is no reason to lie about the former, so if you think it is the latter.

    ‘what?’

    Does this mean that what I thought was Ahn Hyun-ho until now was actually Choi Yi-seo?

    Check the list of posts by Anonymous 287.

    “You can use your phone after eating.”

    Choi Yi-seo was giggling in front of me, but I didn’t have the energy to pay attention.

    Anonymous 287’s progress so far.

    [Anonymous 287 Latest Record]

    Anonymous 287: There’s a guy in the same class that I don’t like. What should I do?

    ↳ Anonymous 287 (author): Honestly, I don’t want to see him flirting with a girl who has no interest in him.

    ↳ Anonymous 287 (author): Damn, if it was when I was in high school, I would just rush over and beat them up and be done with it.

    ↳ Anonymous 287 (author): Not an insider. I’m just squatting alone in class. I laughed out loud when I saw the guy who met me on a date and brought me pork cutlet.

    ↳ Anonymous 287 (author): Ha, anyway, I will do it if I get the chance.

    Anonymous 287: First of all, what was the severity of the shoulder bump? If I just laugh at him without apologizing, won’t he be upset too?

    ↳ Anonymous 287 (author): Ha, I’ll have no wish if he just hits first. I’m confident that I will laugh right away in self-defense.

    ↳ Anonymous 287 (author): Plus, it seems like he’s dating a senior from our department. Fuck, why are you looking at other people’s women?

    ↳ Anonymous287: … … .

    Anonymous 287: Please delete the English and sniping posts.

    Anonymous 287: A shameless man worse than a human being. I’m shooting at the same English major student who was dating Oh Yun-ji, who is currently taking a leave of absence.

    I felt a bit dizzy as all the replies he posted came out together.

    Anyway, if you look at the contents, they were all written as if they were written by Ahn Hyun-ho.

    But last.

    When I think about it, the article accusing me of being a sex offender was something that Ahn Hyun-ho could not have written.

    Even if it is an anonymous bulletin board, if only Gahyun University students can write.

    Minji would have borrowed Choi Yi-seo’s cell phone from the same house rather than Ahn Hyun-ho’s.

    So the conclusion is.

    It was said that Minji only wrote the last snippet, and all the rest were written by Choi Yi-seo.

    Otherwise, there is no way I could know in such detail what happened between the three of us.

    ‘why?’

    why?

    Why did Choi Yi-seo act like this?

    Why did he write this on an anonymous bulletin board pretending to be Ahn Hyun-ho?

    I was about to get goosebumps.

    What should I say?

    It felt like my trust in the person in front of me would be broken.

    ‘Anonymous 287, do you know?’

    I remembered what Choi Yi-seo said at the karaoke bar.

    When I said that I was looking at the Gahyundae Bamboo Forest, Choi Yi-seo directly mentioned Anonymous 287.

    And it was implicitly revealed that it was Ahn Hyun-ho.

    ‘Hyunho, be careful. I was famous for Iljin in high school… … ‘He looked at you unfavorably.’

    Also, it was Choi Yi-seo who told Ahn Hyun-ho to be careful because he was part of the first team in high school.

    Anonymous 287 is.

    He was openly targeting me.

    He openly announced that it was Ahn Hyun-ho.

    So what did I do?

    Rather, I was wary of Ahn Hyun-ho.

    I was careful, cautious, and took his actions lightly.

    Now that I think about it, if it was someone who was really targeting me, they wouldn’t have posted on an anonymous bulletin board like that.

    If Choi Yi-seo and I had seen it, I wouldn’t have written it so that people would know that it was referring to us.

    “you… … .”

    “huh?”

    When I called, Iseo Choi asked what was going on and he stopped eating and looked at me.

    “You kept telling me to look at the bamboo forest.”

    They said it was because of sniping, but there were other reasons besides that.

    “It did?”

    Choi Yi-seo disguised himself as Ahn Hyeon-ho through the false mask of Anonymous 287.

    Since he was close to Ahn Hyun-ho, he would have been able to easily hear what he was saying and his plans.

    Why did he do this?

    To protect me.

    I’m afraid that Ahn Hyun-ho, who is jealous of me, might harm me.

    That’s what I was worried about.

    “flaw.”

    I burst out laughing without even realizing it. I felt ridiculous for doubting Choi Yi-seo like a fool until just now.

    “What, why are you laughing? “We look at our phones while eating together.”

    Looking at Choi Yi-seo pouting his lips and grumbling, I shook his head without realizing it.

    Should I pretend to know this?

    I thought that way for a moment.

    “Would you like a drink?”

    I just smile and pass the story on.

    If she was trying to help me without my knowledge.

    “hmm? suddenly?”

    “Not really suddenly.”

    Without her knowing either.

    “Thank you.”

    Let’s express our gratitude.
