    Woof! Woof! Woof!

    A cell phone that rings loudly as if it were a warning.

    I took a quick look and it was a bamboo forest, but it seemed like there was chaos because of the post I made.

    It looks like there are quite a few comments.

    Normally, I would have to live there and answer each question one by one.

    “Huh? What’s wrong? Where did you get the call from?”

    “No, it’s nothing.”

    I didn’t want to have my time with Iseo interrupted, so I decided to leave her alone for a while.

    Anyway, I don’t think there will be many people who want to become managers of a bamboo forest.

    Most of the comments are probably ridicule or ignorant questions that are meant to draw aggro.

    I thought about handing it over to the current managers like Yoo Ah-rin and Joo-hee, but I just gave up.

    In the first place, I think that if I quit, those two people would also step down as managers.

    ‘But I can’t give it to the president.’

    The Gahyeondae Bamboo Forest is anonymous and can be seen by both students and professors.

    Still, this place is clearly a space for students.

    I guess the president could accept an administrator, but I didn’t want to leave the management of the space for students to the president.

    However, it is still ambiguous to leave it to another acquaintance.

    All of my close male friends ended up enlisting in the military.

    Among the women, there was no one I wanted to give this role to.

    to be honest.

    ‘The bamboo forest manager really has it tough.’

    There are cases where it simply degenerates into a mere cussing out, and bizarre memes or spam that borders on terrorism must also be blocked.

    The reason this is especially difficult is because it is a simple honorary position with no gains from working.

    Honor is anonymous, so no one knows about it.

    ‘Come to think of it, why did I do this?’

    I did it anyway because a senior I know gave it to me.

    Now that I think about it, I think my senior just left the responsibility on me and ran away.

    anyway.

    I’ll be stepping down from my position as manager of the bamboo forest around the time the holidays start.

    Because I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being cool yet strangely sad.

    Kwak.

    Even though I knew I would hear something from Seohan, I hugged her tightly.

    I thought I’d hear things like I was interrupting the movie or if I was horny again.

    Talk.

    Yishu just quietly placed his hand on my head and patted me.

    When he treated me affectionately as if I had gone through a hard time, a lump formed in my chest and a strange feeling of sadness welled up in me, but I tried to pretend not to notice.

    * * *

    Choop.

    The place the two people left behind surprisingly turned out to be a PC room.

    Seo Ye-rin was able to rest comfortably since she didn’t have any work to do for a while, and Yoo Ah-rin didn’t want to be alone so she came along.

    “Ah, shh. Jungle difference.”

    In reality, Seo Ye-rin was the only one focused on the game, so Yoo Ah-rin regretted that she should have just gone home alone.

    Is that what you mean?

    I try to have a conversation by saying rude things for no reason.

    “You worked so hard back then, where are you now?”

    “Don’t ask.”

    “Oh my, you idiot. When you got to Silver, you could’ve just left it alone. Why are you playing games again and messing with it?”

    “If you’re going to park like that, why are you playing the game!”

    Seo Ye-rin, who is sulking, nervously types on the keyboard.

    I was wondering what he was doing, and he was shitting himself in the bamboo forest again.

    – Anonymous69: I want to have sex!

    “Ah, what are you doing? Why are you making a fuss in the bamboo forest?”

    “This is my routine.”

    “Ha, erase it?”

    “Why did you delete it! You did it once today? Yoo Ah-rin is a real dictator! I’m going to shoot you!”

    They stare at each other nervously and eventually let out a sigh at the same time.

    They both know that the reason they’re feeling down right now isn’t because they lost the game or because they painted the bamboo forest or something.

    Is the reason why I feel strangely uncomfortable when I see Kim Woo-jin and Choi Yi-seo hanging out together?

    “Oh, shit. I shouldn’t have just sent it.”

    Yoo Ah-rin regrets drinking chocolate milk. Of course, the two of them decided to meet up separately next time.

    I really didn’t know that the person left behind would become this anxious.

    “I’ll go next time.”

    Yoo Ah-rin frowns and refutes Seo Ye-rin’s assertion.

    “What are you talking about? It’s my turn.”

    “It’s my turn.”

    “Okay, let’s decide here. What should we compete with? Arm wrestling?”

    “How about a 1:1 game?”

    “The competition isn’t bad either.”

    “What about chest size?”

    “Are you making fun of me?”

    “So you want to compete with me?”

    In the midst of a fierce war of nerves, the two people are only saying things that they can win against each other.

    Another post appeared in the bamboo forest that Seo Ye-rin had left behind.

    – Administrator: We are recruiting the next administrator for Gahyundae Bamboo Forest.

    “Huh?”

    An embarrassed exclamation from two people at the same time.

    Also, while you are blankly staring at the post for a moment, comments are posted in real time.

    ↳ Anonymous102: Hahahahahaha next slave urgently needed.

    ↳ Anonymous11: You were doing a good job, but you ran away.

    ↳ Anonymous214: Hey, where are you going, Jumma?

    ↳ Anonymous90: ???

    ↳ Anonymous198: Before you go, upload a picture of the managers spanking.

    ↳ Anonymous 407 (Administrator 3): … … .

    ↳ Anonymous243: Before you go, admin, please pick one of your life picks from the list of anime I sent you.

    ↳ Anonymous111: Ah, admin Nimuㅠㅠ

    ↳ Anonymous301: Popo is crying? You die.

    ↳ Anonymous82: But who does this?

    Comments that just keep running.

    Although there are a lot of users because it is an exam period, it has been a long time since we have seen this much concentrated firepower.

    In the meantime.

    The two people were blankly looking at it, repeatedly opening and closing their mouths.

    I had something I wanted to say, but I felt like I would be in big trouble if I said it.

    “Ah-.”

    In the end, Seo Ye-rin, who spoke first, couldn’t hold back the emotions that were bursting out from deep within her heart and let out a sigh.

    “Really, you’re going.”

    Kim Woo-jin is really leaving soon.

    Of course, most men in South Korea go to the military.

    So, if it’s natural, then you could say it’s natural.

    “Black.”

    Even a breakup couldn’t be taken for granted.

    “Ugh.”

    No matter how you put it into words, their breakup was bound to be heartbreaking.

    “Whaaang!”

    When Seo Ye-rin began to cry, Yoo Ah-rin carefully approached her and hugged her.

    “Don’t go, Ujina!”

    It’s a process that many lovers go through.

    Many people have gone through the same breakup.

    That doesn’t mean it wasn’t difficult.

    Yoo Ah-rin, who hugged Seo Ye-rin to understand her feelings, also tried hard to hide the fact that her eyes were slightly moist.

    Now I think I understand why it was so uncomfortable for Choi Yi-seo and Kim Woo-jin to be together alone.

    A month later.

    He will no longer be around.

    It must be because of the regret that we cannot spend even these short times together.

    * * *

    I wanted to make you cry until you felt better.

    The two people came out because the people in the PC room were looking to see what was going on.

    “Whew, there’s still time left to escape.”

    “What does a woman who earns a lot of money say?”

    “Sniff, Arina, how do I look now?”

    “Oh my, you’re pretty, you bitch. So don’t worry and let’s go.”

    “Shing, where did Woojini go! Why are you hugging me at a time like this!”

    “That’s right.”

    I was going back home like this, but my steps were heavier than I thought.

    Could it be because the lump in my chest hasn’t gone away yet?

    I was looking for somewhere to let out some air, when what caught my eye was a karaoke sign.

    It looks like there’s a karaoke room in the basement of the building where the PC room is.

    “… … Hey, should we go and sing a song?”

    “Song? Sniffle.”

    Seo Ye-rin, who had been singing blindly, nods her head vigorously after seeing the karaoke sign.

    “Let’s go, let’s go and sing a lot.”

    So the two of them, feeling somewhat miserable, came to the karaoke room.

    Yoo Ah-rin immediately frowns when she sees Seo Ye-rin reserving a song.

    “Hey, you bitch. Did you break up? Why are all your songs about breakups? ”

    “I don’t have a heart!”

    “Crazy bitch.”

    “Arin has no heart!”

    “Fucking bitch!”

    It just so happens to be a closed room.

    Yoo Ah-rin was contemplating whether to just kill him, but the ringing of her cell phone at that moment helped her suppress her impulse.

    “I’ll go and answer the phone.”

    “Woojini?! Woojini?”

    “No! It’s Senior Joohee!”

    “See you.”

    The echo from the microphone shook my eardrums.

    Yoo Ah-rin goes out with a frown on her face.

    “Why don’t you know? ”

    “He’s just sad all by himself.”

    He gets annoyed by Seo Ye-rin’s voice that he can hear even from outside and picks up the phone.

    “Yes, senior.”

    – Arin, did you see what Woojin uploaded to the bamboo forest?

    “I saw it. That’s why I came to the karaoke room now. Seo Ye-rin is crying and making a mess.”

    – Ha… … Yeah. That was to be expected.

    “When you see such writing, it makes you feel a little cold, right?”

    – Yeah, that’s right.

    “Right? So we too-.”

    Yoo Ah-rin, who was about to say that a sense of empathy had been formed, felt something strange.

    “But why does the senior sympathize with that?”

    – … … .

    “Kim Woojin is my boyfriend.”

    – Ahem, Arin. No, ma’am?

    “Say it.”

    Yoo Ah-rin suddenly became arrogant.

    – Didn’t we have a great time in Hawaii?

    “… … .”

    – I was just helping you out.

    “That’s it! No, this girl is really crossing the line!”

    – Hey, where are you? I’ll go and talk. Okay? Let’s go and talk.

    “This is Seven Karaoke room number 3, right? We have some time left, so if you want to watch, come over here!”

    – Okay, I’ll be there soon.

    After hanging up the phone, Yoo Ah-rin went inside.

    “Goodbye my dear! I’ll send you now!”

    Yoo Ah-rin clenched her teeth and shouted as she watched Seo Ye-rin playing alone, even shaking the tambourine.

    “Hey! Shake your chest a little and come here!”

    “Huh?”

    Seeing Yoo Ah-rin shaking the tambourine and shaking her chest made her feel even uglier for no reason.

    Anyway, he snatched Seo Ye-rin’s microphone and shouted into it himself.

    “Get ready to fight!”

    “Fight?”

    A few minutes later.

    The moment they saw Min Joo-hee entering the karaoke room, the two of them tried to rush towards her.

    “Oh, sorry. The kids were with us.”

    Two other people come in after that.

    Oh Yoon-ji and Choi Jin-ah.

    I don’t know why they brought those two together.

    The two of them look around, carefully lowering the microphone they were holding to subdue Min Joo-hee.

    “Arin, what should I do?”

    “… … Where did Choi Yi-seo go?”

    The two men suddenly found themselves outnumbered.
