Chapter Index

    As I entered the classroom, several people’s eyes turned to me.

    They all avoid eye contact or awkwardly continue talking among themselves.

    Sweat dripping down his face, his breathing becoming labored, and an expression that looked like it might explode at any moment.

    I could tell just by looking at him that he was in a bad mood, but unfortunately, I didn’t feel like hiding it at all.

    Choi Yi-seo, who had reserved a seat in advance, appeared.

    She also looked at me with surprise and started rummaging through her bag.

    The wet tissues he took out just in time for me to sit down next to him.

    “Wipe off the sweat.”

    You also carry wet tissues in your bag.

    “Thank you.”

    I check the classroom clock while wiping off the sweat. Fortunately, I ran as fast as I could, otherwise I would have been late.

    “Did you run? And the bike?”

    My heart almost breaks when I hear Choi Yi-seo ask where I left the bike I was so proud of and why I’m running around like that.

    “Who stole it?”

    Choi Yi-seo exhaled in frustration as he clenched his fists and burned with hatred.

    “Again? At this point, I can’t help but say that I’m really sick of it.”

    “Right? This damn bike thief. I’m definitely going to catch him.”

    Even though I said it like this, it didn’t seem like it would be easy.

    When middle school students stole from a PC room, it was easy to catch them because there was CCTV.

    The dormitory bike storage area was located in a bit of a corner, so it didn’t seem like there were any CCTV cameras.

    But I can’t just go through the entire university’s CCTV and find out.

    The bamboo forest is still vibrant.

    When I told them I lost my bike, they just laughed and laughed.

    But even in the midst of all that, there were people who sympathized with me.

    ↳ Anonymous92: Someone stole my bike too;

    ↳ Anonymous124: Look! I have to catch him no matter what! I still haven’t found my bike! I brought the police with me and watched the CCTV, and he was wearing a hat, mask, and hood.

    ↳ Anonymous481: Is this really just one guy stealing? When I see it, it seems like someone steals their bike, then another guy steals it, and it goes around like this?

    ↳ Anonymous282: Haha …

    Especially in the case of anonymous124, he kept complaining about losing his bike since last time.

    It seemed like he was quite serious about finding a bike, and had already tried every possible method.

    “I’m really going to catch this kid.”

    Do you think this is a normal bicycle?

    This is the bike I bought by pouring so much money into it.

    “Report it to the police first.”

    “That’s right.”

    Just then, the professor came into the classroom. To be honest, I didn’t think I would be able to concentrate on the lecture.

    ‘Oh, I guess I’ll just go out.’

    How can you concentrate when your mind is already outside the classroom?

    I feel sorry for Choi Yi-seo, but I thought I would have to leave soon.

    “Even if you can’t concentrate, at least listen. This professor remembers the kids who leave and later erases their names from the attendance list.”

    Choi Yi-seo must have noticed my feelings, because she quickly grabbed me and started trying to persuade me.

    “Huh? Woojin. It doesn’t matter if you don’t attend the lecture, I can show you what I’ve organized later. Of course, you have to attend.”

    “How much money have I lost just now… … .”

    “You can find everything. So, okay? Woojin. Let’s listen to the lecture. No, don’t listen and play a game on your phone next to you.”

    “… … .”

    “Stop looking at the bamboo forest. When I look at it, I can’t help but think of my bicycle.”

    Biting one’s lips.

    My body was trembling with anger at losing my bike.

    I try to control my emotions as I listen to Choi Yi-seo’s straightforward yet genuinely concerned tone.

    “Yeah, you’re right.”

    He nods and takes out the book.

    To be honest, I don’t think I can concentrate on my studies, so I turn on a game on my phone.

    “… … Iseya, but I’ll raise my children well later.”

    “Shut up, I suddenly want to hit a dog.”

    – Sensei!

    The kids who greet me in the game and call me teacher.

    It was a collectible RPG game called Black Academy that I used to play with Seo Ye-rin.

    The lecture started, but I focused on the game. A part of me still felt uneasy, but seeing the pretty characters flirting made me feel much better.

    Is this why people play pretty girl games?

    In the midst of finding comfort and stability in my own way.

    puck.

    A kick came from under the desk.

    My calf hurt so I looked to the side wondering what was going on, but Choi Yi-seo pretended not to notice and continued listening to the lecture.

    “… … why?”

    “What is it?”

    Even when I asked, I only got curt answers.

    When I play the game again, there are often explicit scenes.

    puck.

    puck.

    Every time, Choi Yi-seo would hit me once.

    ‘At this point, aren’t we playing a game together?’

    I thought he was just listening to the lecture, but he also took neat and tidy notes.

    hmm.

    At this point, I’m a little curious.

    There is a gallery feature within the game.

    It’s a feature that lets you rewatch CGs you’ve seen before, and I used it to play the most provocative scenes.

    A character whose skirt is fluttering so that it is almost visible underneath.

    I openly tilted my phone screen and pretended to look at the panties under the skirt.

    thud.

    * * *

    “… … Huh?”

    My head hurts and I feel tired from the impact on my head.

    Students got up from their seats and went outside, as if the lecture was over.

    I raised my head and looked around, and there was Choi Yi-seo, absentmindedly looking at a game on my phone with her chin resting on her hand.

    Bam.

    – Aang!

    Bam.

    – Aaang! Sensei!

    Bam

    – Dame! Sensei!

    “Seo Ye-rin recommended it to me.”

    The best person to sell at a time like this is Seo Ye-rin.

    Although he said it right away, Choi Yi-seo sighed deeply and handed him the phone.

    “Play this game moderately. If you play this kind of game, you won’t be telling us that the three of us are dating or something.”

    Why don’t you hit the bone all of a sudden?

    “It’s lunch time, so let’s go eat.”

    “Yeah… …But why did I just fall asleep?”

    “… … I guess I’m sleepy.”

    I follow Choi Yi-seo, who avoids eye contact for no reason.

    Today’s lunch is a homemade hamburger.

    Now that Choi Yi-seo doesn’t take BAF, I don’t have any reservations about the menu, and it’s not a menu that I would feel burdened to buy after losing my bike.

    I said I would buy it for her, but Choi Yi-seo said it was okay and bought mine too.

    “Did you report the bike?”

    “did it.”

    I reported it when I came here earlier.

    “I’ve already been to the police station and there have been several reports of bicycle theft. So don’t worry, they’re investigating in earnest.”

    “Yeah, that’s good.”

    “Oh, this kid, just try catching him. He won’t let you off easy.”

    A shadow cast while waiting for a hamburger, grumbling.

    We were sitting by the window, and one wall was made entirely of glass, so we had a clear view of the outside.

    Seo Ye-rin, with her face pressed against the wall, was staring at us.

    “Oh, surprise.”

    Unlike Choi Yi-seo, who was surprised, I stuck out my tongue when I saw Seo Ye-rin.

    “This is the first time I’ve seen this guy ugly.”

    Did you hear that?

    Seo Ye-rin shouts something and then comes inside.

    Seo Ye-rin clenches her fists and raises her arms.

    “What did you say, Kim Woojin.”

    “I told you that I was so surprised because it was so pretty!”

    “I don’t think that was it.”

    “She’s so damn pretty, I’m so surprised! ”

    Seo Ye-rin glanced at my trouser leg and nodded.

    “Pass.”

    I don’t know what passed, but I’m glad I passed anyway.

    “He said it was the first time he saw you ugly.”

    It was because of Choi Yi-seo who told me right away that I was put in a headlock and couldn’t breathe for a moment.

    Seo Ye-rin didn’t feel too bad about being put in a headlock, perhaps because she had big breasts.

    I guess you could say it’s a win-win.

    “Are you two done with class? I’m meeting up with the kids. Do you want to hang out together?”

    Seo Ye-rin often does strange things, but people see her as a pure and innocent beauty.

    I often forget that there were rare days when I didn’t have any appointments.

    “I have another lecture.”

    Choirmione says she has another lecture. Isn’t that how much she loves college?

    “I don’t have any classes. I don’t think your friends would like me joining them.”

    I don’t really have any desire to join either.

    “There’s Arin? Bom and Seo-ah. We all know each other’s faces.”

    “Everyone knows this face… … .”

    Aren’t we the party that worked together at Gold One?

    “Should I ask the kids? Can you come?”

    Seo Ye-rin immediately takes out her cell phone.

    I tried to tell him not to go because I didn’t want to go, but Choi Yi-seo, who was sitting across from me, intervened.

    “Come back.”

    “Huh?”

    “Oh?”

    We both look at each other at the same time, not knowing that Choi Yi-seo would push us to go play with the other kids.

    “Go and clear your mind.”

    “Ah… … .”

    Don’t think about the bike for no reason, just keep talking nonsense.

    I scratch my cheek awkwardly, feeling like I’m being treated with consideration again.

    But it wasn’t a wrong statement.

    When I’m alone, I’ll probably kick the covers off a few times because I’m thinking about my bike.

    “Yeah, ask if you can watch it together.”

    I nodded and decided to join Seo Ye-rin’s group.

    * * *

    “Hey, I’m going to eat it all before the movie even starts.”

    I said something to Yua Rin, who was eating popcorn while holding a large bucket of popcorn, and she gave me a piece of popcorn.

    “I thought you’d have a hard time because of the bike, but surprisingly you came to see a movie?”

    “Ah, don’t mention that. I came here to forget.”

    “Huh.”

    A guy who giggles and seems to be secretly teasing.

    “Did you know what movie I’m watching?”

    “Crime Town. I’ve seen all the previous episodes.”

    Isn’t it a movie about beating, destroying, and fighting? It’s the perfect movie to just watch without thinking about anything else.

    “This is exactly the kind of movie I like.”

    Look at Yoo Ah-rin humming as she eats popcorn, saying she’s looking forward to it.

    “This is exactly the kind of movie you’ll like.”

    I nod, thinking that it’s a movie that Yoo Ah-rin would like.

    Other kids say that while they’re waiting, they go to arcades or places like Life Six Cuts to take pictures.

    Seo Ye-rin comes this way, holding only a drink.

    “Sweet, sweet, sweet Woojini, Kimujin.”

    Humming some strange song.

    “What is he saying?”

    “How would I know? Hey, you said you were going to buy something to eat while watching a movie.”

    When Yoo Ah-rin asks, Seo Ye-rin glances in my direction and smiles.

    “What I wanted to eat was sweet udon and kimchi.”

    Yoo Ah-rin, who was looking back and forth between Seo Ye-rin and me, clearly warned me.

    “You guys, if you do anything weird while watching a movie, you should know to kick me out right away.”

    Does this person see Seo Ye-rin?

    “I won’t do it? Am I crazy?”

    This is a popular movie so there will be a lot of people, what are you going to do?

    Seo Ye-rin also responded with a smile.

    “Me neither. I was just joking.”

    I agree with that statement immediately.

    “Yeah, but I guess it’s a bit much to do something like that in a movie theater.”

    “That’s… …but.”

    Yu Ah-rin, who was about to pass over it, looked at me and warned me with cold eyes.

    “Pull up the zipper before you rummage around.”

    “… … .”

    Ji-i-ik.

    Zip up your pants again.
