episode_0179
by fnovelpia“Why did you run away?”
The cold gaze of Seo Yerin, who was holding me, was chilling.
Her usual gentle and kind appearance was now devoid of any hint of a smile, exuding an icy indifference.
Suddenly, the ending of the webtoon I had seen earlier came to mind.
The protagonist being stabbed with a knife.
My gaze naturally shifted to the small handbag she had slung over her shoulder.
Could something suddenly pop out from there and stab me?
Such worries crossed my mind, but…
“Kim Woojin?”
Seeing me flustered and unable to speak, Seo Yerin, who had been watching me in confusion, called out to me.
“Ah, sorry.”
Only then did I snap back to reality.
Even if my obsession was excessive, resorting to wielding a knife and causing a scene…
“She mentioned having scissors.”
Recalling Yu Arin’s words, I remained on guard.
But it was the opposite.
“So, why did you call me?”
Seo Yerin, glaring at me with crossed arms, was emitting a much different vibe than before.
Even during our first meeting, she wasn’t this hostile towards me.
No, she was kind to everyone, so it could be said that I was the only one she was this guarded against.
Honestly.
Because she was Seo Yerin, I thought I could speak to her more comfortably, but her firm reactions made me realize how foolish I had been.
“Why did you call me?”
“Um…”
Unable to say anything, Seo Yerin sighed deeply and pointed to the PC room.
“If you have nothing to say, I’m going to the PC room.”
With that, she turned around and headed straight to the PC room.
*Sigh.*
Watching Seo Yerin leave, my embarrassment only grew.
If she, who was usually gentle and kind, disliked me to that extent…
I realized how crazy my words had been once again.
“But…”
I had already drawn the knife.
So, it would be right to do something.
If Seo Yerin really wanted to cut ties with me and no longer wanted to be involved with me.
Since we hadn’t even had a proper conversation yet, I decided to be a bit shameless and go see her.
I entered the PC room.
Chanwoo, who used to work at the PC room almost every day, seemed to have reduced his shifts due to his girlfriend, so he wasn’t there today.
The corner seat.
Seo Yerin was sitting alone, and the glances of the surrounding men were subtly directed towards her.
“…”
Approaching Seo Yerin’s side, she glanced at me briefly before focusing back on the screen.
She didn’t tell me to go away or to sit somewhere else.
‘This means there’s still room for conversation.’
That was somewhat relieving.
“Are you going to play a game?”
When I cautiously asked, Seo Yerin snorted and rested her chin on her arm.
“No, I’m going to read a webtoon.”
With that, she let go of the mouse and started reading a webtoon on her phone.
From what I could see, it seemed to be an adult webtoon site.
If a person is consistent, they can be consistent, but…
Since Chanwoo had warned me not to watch adult webtoons at the PC room last time, she must be using her phone as a compromise.
Seo Yerin, engrossed in her reading.
Feeling awkward, I scratched my neck and turned on the computer to clean up the mess of poop messages that had piled up since I hadn’t managed them today.
– Anonymous44: Today’s spooky story at Single Bungle. This happened at a certain cafe…
– Anonymous368: Isn’t the exam by Professor Kim Jinpyeong and the study of idioms too difficult?
↳ Anonymous427: Looking for a cheat sheet.
↳ Anonymous141: Where do freshmen find cheat sheets? Back in my day, we stayed up all night studying.
– Anonymous69: I want to have s*x.
↳ Anonymous90: I really want to have s*x! I want it so badly!
– Anonymous11: Ugh, when are these guys going to graduate?
– Anonymous87: I don’t understand why they’re doing this. If you’re going to gossip, just come up front and say it. If you don’t have the guts, then just shut your mouth.
– Anonymous198: If you’re going to do it too, use your real name. What’s the difference between gossip and this?
– Anonymous229: Just tell me the major.
– Anonymous87 (author): Digital Design.
– Anonymous229: Oh, really?
– Anonymous87 (author): Who are you?
– Anonymous407: Aren’t the people on Daum Cafe just a bunch of losers? They can’t say what they want to say and just hide behind anonymity. You guys all look like loners with no friends.
– Anonymous52: Look at all the trolls.
– Anonymous39: Don’t feed the trolls.
– Anonymous198: Is this a new student from the 400s?
– Anonymous11: Idiot.
– Anonymous7: Hello, I have a question. My close friend seems to like a guy who has a girlfriend. What should I do?
– Anonymous274: Give up, what else.
– Anonymous11: Give up what? Just steal him.
– Anonymous336: It depends on the feelings. But if he has a girlfriend, it’s better to give up.
– Anonymous466: Ugh, even if it’s morally right to let go, you should honestly confess your desires.
– Anonymous55: There are a lot of kids here; confessing to someone who already has a partner is uncomfortable and unpleasant.
– Anonymous199: Do you have to specify that it’s your close friend? It’s obviously about you, 7.
– Anonymous7 (author): No, it’s not.
– Anonymous199: Typo lol
Anonymous111: Hello everyone! It’s Popo, now renamed as Popo! I’ll be broadcasting tomorrow at 9 o’clock! Please watch a lot!
– Anonymous300: Popo!
– Anonymous301: Popo!
– Anonymous302: Popo!
– Anonymous11: Damn bastards.
– Anonymous303: Popo!
– Anonymous304: Popo!
– Anonymous69: Sex!
Even after deleting some posts, it’s still the same.
Looking at the last post, it seems like Popo is doing well.
He mentioned changing the name of the broadcast, but it seems like he’s sticking with Popo.
“Is it because there are more good memories associated with the name than bad ones?”
Although it was a name given by Hwang Sajang without much thought, people came to help Popo following that name.
He smiles contentedly.
A piercing gaze that feels like a stab in the side.
Glancing over, Seo Yerin is staring at me intently, holding her phone.
Come to think of it, she just replied to a post about Popo as a sex offender.
“Did you write that because you saw me on Daum Cafe?”
“No, I didn’t.”
Yeah, right.
She was looking at the screen.
But at least we’re having a conversation.
I decide to change the topic slightly and continue the conversation in a different direction.
“My mom suddenly asked to see you. Do you know what it’s about?”
She flinches.
Seo Yerin, who was momentarily taken aback by my words, answers in a soft voice.
“Probably… because of the name saved on your phone.”
“Huh? The saved name?”
“I, I saved it as a heart.”
“….”
So that’s why her mom answered the call.
If a call comes in from a number saved as ‘♥’ on her daughter’s phone, she has no choice but to answer.
“I’ll try to explain somehow. So you don’t meet my mom.”
She says that, but I wonder what the outcome will be.
I nod in understanding, and Seo Yerin lets out a sigh.
The atmosphere seems to have softened a bit.
“But why are you sending me that webtoon?”
I lean over to look at Seo Yerin’s phone, and a scene of the male protagonist being stabbed with a knife appears.
It’s the webtoon I was reading earlier.
“….”
I look at Seo Yerin, who is staring at me with a blank expression, and she mutters bluntly.
“He looks like Woojin.”
“Hey, don’t say that, it’s creepy.”
“Hehe.”
The first laugh I’ve heard from her today.
Seo Yerin hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, pretending not to smile, but I had already seen everything.
“You were holding scissors… to cut me.”
I casually threw out a topic, and Seo Yerin crossed her legs and pulled her chair back.
“If I hadn’t done that, Isorang and Arin would have broken you in half.”
“What, so you did that on purpose to save me?”
“…I was half serious.”
The fact that she was half serious gave me chills.
“Don’t watch those webtoons. You might get dangerous ideas for no reason.”
“I find this entertaining.”
As she said that, Seo Yerin quickly scrolled through the screen to show a specific scene.
It was a scene where the male protagonist seduced the female character with restraint and technique.
“The artist even draws the x-rated scenes well. I like these kinds of situations too.”
“You like it when the protagonist corrupts someone by succumbing to temptation?”
I was wondering who would like such a thing, but Seo Yerin gave me a sharp look.
“Yeah, I do.”
Then she turned away, saying she didn’t want to talk anymore.
This time, the guy was planning to play a game as he grabbed the mouse.
I was completely puzzled by how the conversation was flowing.
– Anonymous69: I want to have x.
As I stared at the post on the bamboo forest, I glanced at Seo Yerin next to me.
Tap.
I placed my hand on his thigh.
He didn’t say anything.
He just glanced at me as if he was annoyed.
I gave him a feeling that his face was turning red in a strange way.
This time, I raised my hand to his chest and squeezed it tightly.
Seo Yerin, who was about to let out a sigh while biting her lip, grabbed my hand with determination.
“Don’t.”
But there was no strength in her grip.
It was just resting on my wrist.
My hand moved without hesitation, and Seo Yerin leaned forward, letting out a breath.
“Ha- don’t do that.”
“It seems like you shouldn’t do it.”
This is a PC bang.
Especially for someone like Seo Yerin, who stands out, it’s not a good idea to do something like this where someone might see.
“Ah…”
When I removed my hand, Seo Yerin let out a sigh of regret, and then she turned her gaze back to the computer naturally.
But she couldn’t hold back her anger and finally exploded.
“What are you doing?! Are you ready to be corrupted?!”
She punched my thigh with her fist in frustration.
“Can’t you see the pattern? The innocent heroine gradually loses to the pleasures of the flesh and starts whining?!”
“…”
“If you don’t want to be stabbed, shouldn’t you stab first, you idiot!”
Her voice was a bit loud, and people around us looked over.
Seo Yerin’s face turned pale, and she slumped in her chair, muttering.
“Damn, Kim Woojin messed up both my body and mind, I’m going to write about it on the bamboo forest.”
Please don’t do that.
“I, I confessed to three people. Is that really okay?”
I asked to make sure, and Seo Yerin stuck out her tongue and replied.
“I don’t know. I hate it. Go away. I’m a loser. Trash. Can I write to the bamboo forest admin to ban you?”
“You can’t accept it?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Just because I had a threesome once, do you think I’ll accept everything! I should have brought scissors. I should have just cut and kept it!”
Brave Seo Yerin.
I got up and turned off both computers.
“Hey, what-!”
Seo Yerin, who was about to shout when the computer turned off, I grabbed her wrist and dragged her away.
“Let’s talk in a quiet place. Maybe you’ll be able to accept it as we talk.”
“A, quiet place?”
“There’s a motel nearby.”
At my words, Seo Yerin’s steps quickened.
Dragged along as if being pulled, the speed gradually matched.
“Am I supposed to just accept that?!”
Although speaking boldly.
When I turned my head slightly, there she was, unable to hide a smile at the corner of her mouth.
‘Ugh.’
I should have just told her from the beginning.
It’s really hard to accommodate.
Then suddenly, a phrase from the MT popped into my head, and I chuckled as I asked.
“But Yerin, didn’t you say you don’t have to have s*x?”
“…That wasn’t me.”
I know, so don’t act so serious.
