Chapter Index

    About 30 minutes had passed.

    The pressure between the two of us eased and before we knew it, we were playing together like we usually did.

    Of course, the three-sectioned staff was not swung.

    In the first place, if you really swing that thing, it’ll break your bones.

    As soon as he realized that he was only using it as a threat and had no intention of swinging it himself, Choi Yi-seo immediately put the staff down on the table.

    “Where did you get that?”

    I sit on the sofa and sip the coffee I just made. It’s a bit disappointing that it’s all cold.

    Should I just put some ice in it and drink it as iced coffee?

    “That one? Yoonji’s company is there. I got it there. They give one to each broadcaster for self-defense, and I got one because I had some left over.”

    “Hmm.”

    Indeed, crimes against Internet broadcasters are also becoming more severe.

    I actually had an experience with Popo, and I recently saw a trailer for a movie about such a crime.

    “Woohaha!”

    Seo Ye-rin quickly picks up the three-stage staff that Choi Yi-seo had placed on the table, wondering what was so exciting about it.

    Then fold it carefully and make it into a palm-sized stick.

    I was drinking coffee and watching, wondering what to do, when suddenly he stretched his hand forward, struck a cool pose, and shouted.

    “Mankai!”

    Chorus!

    Seo Ye-rin pulls out her three-sectioned staff with a snap of her wrist. She looks this way with sparkling eyes.

    “How was it? Was it awesome? It’s awesome!”

    “Only, what? What is that?”

    Choi Yi-seo, a pitiful ordinary person, does not understand Seo Ye-rin’s joke and looks bewildered.

    I sigh, approach Seo Ye-rin, snatch the staff from her, and fold it again.

    “Hey, look carefully.”

    “Huh?”

    “And don’t tell anyone! Mankai!”

    As he raises it high and swings it, the three-sectioned staff extends out again. Seeing that, Seo Ye-rin’s eyes sparkle and she cheers.

    “Me too! I want to do it too!”

    “Hahaha! This is so funny?! Yerin, take a video for me!”

    “Me first! Me first! I’m going to post this on SNS!”

    And then Seo Ye-rin handed me her cell phone, so I decided to take a picture of it first.

    “… … I’m having so much fun with the Samdanbong.”

    Choi Yi-seo sits with her chin resting on the arm of the sofa and watches us play. Her tone doesn’t sound like a compliment, but what can you do when it’s fun?

    “Mankaiii!”

    We captured Seo Ye-rin shouting boldly while stretching out her trident.

    Seo Ye-rin saw it, smiled with satisfaction, and posted it on her SNS.

    When I became an actor, I heard that my agency, YS, created and managed my account, but when I took a quick look, it was almost like a ghost account.

    “I would like to upload it to the bamboo forest.”

    Seo Ye-rin biting her nails and expressing regret. However, she seems to be holding back because she might get caught posting something like this and be labeled a sexist.

    I had a lot of fun playing with a single stick.

    As I sat back down on the sofa with satisfaction, Choi Yi-seo, who had been waiting, looked over at me with a sigh and asked.

    “So. Are you really not going to tell me where you and Arin are going to go play?”

    “Oh, right. I came to ask that.”

    Seo Ye-rin also said she forgot and quickly sat down next to me. She closed her eyes for a moment while sitting between the two women.

    It’s not easy for two people to get together like this.

    I wonder if there is any way to enjoy the present.

    “I think it’s strange.”

    Choi Yi-seo holding my nose and pulling it slightly.

    “Hehe.”

    Seo Ye-rin put her fist between my legs, on my thigh, saying that she had a funny idea.

    He opens the three-sectioned staff he is holding by snapping his wrist.

    “Balkai.”

    “… … .”

    I barely managed to hold back my laughter. Seo Ye-rin also nodded in satisfaction as she saw my lips moving.

    “Isn’t it so much fun to play with just one Samdanbong?”

    At this point, when Choi Yi-seo says that she is beginning to doubt her mental age, we cough in vain and try to change the mood again.

    “No, I don’t want to tell you either. But we made a promise. Arin also told me that I absolutely couldn’t do it.”

    Anyway, Arin was really looking forward to it. I didn’t want to ruin it.

    “Huh? Got it? It’s only a day trip anyway.”

    He tells them both with a smile.

    We should keep a certain level of line between each other so that no one’s feelings are hurt.

    “Chi.”

    Although it was not intentional, Seo Ye-rin, who felt relieved by the Samdanbong, seemed convinced.

    But the backlash came from an unexpected place.

    “… … .”

    Choi Yi-seo, who was leaning forward slightly, seemed not to be convinced by that.

    This was the first time I saw Choi Yi-seo like this, so I was embarrassed, but strangely, it touched my heart.

    “Really?”

    Choi Yi-seo glances up at me.

    The way he spoke softly while holding onto the hem of my clothes was just like that.

    “Is this you acting cute right now?!”

    Seo Ye-rin, who was next to me, said what I wanted to say.

    Choi Yi-seo looks embarrassed because he said it so bluntly, but she quickly comes to her senses and clings to him.

    “Really? Is Choi Yi-seo really being cute right now?”

    “Hey, I’m going to film you!”

    As Seo Ye-rin reaches for her phone, Choi Yi-seo lets go of Seo Ye-rin’s hand and steps back.

    “… … .”

    “You’re annoying! This guy’s annoying! Woojina! Say something! Hurry up!”

    Do you think she’s underage right now?

    I don’t know why she’s so obsessed with me, but I don’t want to miss this rare moment where Seo-i is acting cute.

    “You really want to know?”

    When I ask while sneaking a glance, Choi Yi-seo sighs and bites her lips in embarrassment.

    “Deal… … How are you going to tell me?”

    * * *

    The exam is over.

    It ended yesterday.

    But even after the test was over, Yu Ah-rin’s expression was distorted into a grim expression.

    On the day of the trip.

    Four people gathered at the meeting place.

    Feeling embarrassed, I look at Seo Ye-rin standing in front of me and try to lighten the mood with a joke.

    “Number one next to it.”

    “One!”

    Seo Ye-rin accepted it cheerfully.

    Choi Yi-seo, who was standing next to him, said this while putting on sunglasses in embarrassment to avoid Yoo Ah-rin’s laser-like gaze.

    “… … two.”

    “Three fucking bastards. Do you want to lose?”

    I wanted to say ‘end of number’ but I just didn’t.

    If you do that, you might end up going straight to the hospital, not to mention traveling.

    Yoo Ah-rin came up to me with brisk strides and grabbed my cheek with her hand.

    “There’s a traitor among us. But damn it, it’s not me. Then who do you think it is?”

    I try to make excuses with my lips stretched out like an octopus.

    “… … It’s me.”

    “이 개새끼가!”

    Yoo Ah-rin started yelling and arguing.

    “You couldn’t resist that one thing? We’re going on a trip together?! Why did you have to tell other girls about this and make them interrupt you like this?!”

    “Sorry, sorry.”

    “You son of a bitch!”

    Yoo Ah-rin shouts as if she is being scolded.

    Not caring even if people passing by are staring.

    Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo also try to avoid Yoo Ah-rin’s wrath by avoiding eye contact more than usual.

    “Oh, why is this kid’s mouth so dirty?! Was it that hard not to say that? Huh? This kid!”

    “… …Can I tell you why?”

    “Are you saying indirectly that you want to get hit more?”

    “I’m sorry.”

    Yu Ah-rin’s iron fist rule that will not accept any reason.

    “Sigh.”

    But what made me feel like the reaction was weaker than I expected was that Yu Ah-rin wasn’t hitting me.

    If it were normal, I would have already been crouching and somehow withstood Yua Rin’s fist.

    Yoo Ah-rin fixes her bag and asks the two intruders.

    “Hey, we reserved a room. What are you guys going to do?”

    “It’s okay! We made a reservation too!”

    “… … There was a room.”

    “Really?”

    Yoo Ah-rin exhaled deeply again, nodded as if she understood, and glared sharply.

    The target was Seo Ye-rin.

    “Hey, Seo Ye-rin. Since you interrupted me this time, please consider it when I interrupt you next time.”

    “Yes! Of course, sir!”

    Seo Ye-rin smiling and saluting.

    Originally, I would have said that it was obviously not possible, but looking at Seo Ye-rin’s bold reaction, it seemed like she was thinking about something.

    “And Choi Yi-seo, you… … .”

    “Sorry, Arin.”

    As expected of Choi Yi-seo, let’s apologize honestly and head-on. Yoo Ah-rin scratches the back of her neck as she tries to say something.

    “Okay, since we’re all gathered here anyway, let’s enjoy our trip.”

    “Huh?”

    “… … Are you okay?”

    “It’s okay. We’re all used to playing together anyway.”

    Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo look genuinely surprised at Yoo Ah-rin’s great answer.

    No one would have imagined that Yu-A-Rin, the most ill-tempered of us all, would take it so lightly.

    “… … As expected, the queen of threesomes.”

    “What did you say, you son of a bitch.”

    Look at me, unlike other kids, I glare at you with a murderous look in my eyes.

    Then he throws his bag at me.

    “Listen! You’re just a brat today!”

    “Yep!”

    Anyway, I have committed a sin.

    Just then, Yoo Ah-rin saw the bus arrive at the stop and started walking, saying,

    “You have to ride that.”

    At her words, we board the bus briskly like soldiers going out for training.

    Of course, I sat next to Yu Ah-rin, and the other two sat behind us.

    “Huh! I’m so excited.”

    “I feel at ease after the test and going out to play.”

    I hear Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo whispering behind my back, and I join in with a smile.

    “I had a harder time than I thought because of the exam. I’m going to the military soon, but it’s still a mountain to climb… … Ah, the military.”

    “Woojina, stop stepping on landmines alone.”

    “When I talk about the military, my tension drops sharply.”

    “I can’t help it.”

    As he lowered his head in a gloomy manner, Seo Ye-rin stroked his head from behind and asked.

    “Woojina, how many condoms did you bring?”

    “… … a lot of dogs.”

    “Hehehe.”

    “Sigh.”

    Seo Ye-rin smiling and Choi Yi-seo sighing. Still, it doesn’t seem like Choi Yi-seo hates her.

    How many stops have passed?

    Yuarin wakes up and rings the bell.

    “Hey, you have to get off here.”

    “Here?”

    He looks at Yu Ah-rin in confusion.

    Not only me, but Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo also got up awkwardly and got off the bus.

    Because I didn’t know I would get off here.

    Because this is… … .

    “Is this the airport?”

    As I muttered while looking up at the airport, Yu Ah-rin grabbed my hand and smiled.

    Then he waves goodbye to the kids.

    “Okay, then we’re going. You guys have already booked your accommodations, so have fun there.”

    “Huh?”

    “Huh?”

    “How did you endure it until now?” Yoo Ah-rin shouted with a winner’s smile.

    “How much time have I spent with you guys, how could I not have expected such a trick!”

    Then he grabs me by the collar and shakes me.

    “I expected this kid to wag his tongue without any integrity like a skewer. We’re going to Jeju Island, so you guys have fun here.”

    and.

    Yoo Ah-rin is crazy.

    “I’ll take lots of pictures and send them to you, bitches.”

    * * *

    Wheeing!

    White sky.

    Seo Ye-rin sniffles as she looks up at the plane flying by in the chilly weather.

    “Sniff, I have to go abroad.”

    “… … .”

    Choi Yi-seo was shocked but didn’t feel any emotion.

    After all, they were the ones who had fouled. But I never imagined that Yoo Ah-rin would use her head this much.

    “Sniff, Isseo. Are we going to our dorm?”

    “I made a reservation, so I have to go. Let’s go and have a drink?”

    “Okay. There’s a bathhouse and a steam room there. Let’s go and play.”

    “Haa, then.”

    Should I call other people too?

    I think it wouldn’t be bad to hang out with Oh Yoon-ji, Joo-hee, and Choi Jin-ah.

    “Sigh, I need a change of pace.”

    While waiting for the return bus, Seo Ye-rin takes out her cell phone. I thought she was watching a video or something.

    A familiar voice came from the phone.

    – Meow, meow! I know you!

    “Yerin-ahhhh!”

    Choi Yi-seo’s face instantly turns red and she desperately tries to snatch Seo Ye-rin’s cell phone.

    “Hahahaha! Seo is so cute!”

    Only the affection that she had shown to Woojin Kim in exchange for information resonated pitifully.
