Bamboo Forest Manager - Chapter 0



0 – Prologue

Bamboo Forest.

Derived from a classic and famous story that the king’s ears are like donkey’s ears.

It was a place that exposed people’s secrets.

Even in modern times, there is still a bamboo forest.

It was being used as a proper noun referring to an anonymously operated university community.

Concerns about college life, untold incidents, lost items, interesting stories, quotes of the day, and so on.

Various stories are posted in this place, but there are not many places that are actively operated.

Among them, Gahyeon University was particularly active in its bamboo forest community.

– Anonymous33: Who stole the sausage bread from the cafeteria today?

↳ Anonymous12: I saw someone eating it on the bench in front of the main entrance.

↳ Anonymous60: That kid from the Department of Construction and Engineering took it because he said he was hungry.

↳ Anonymous33: Damn it.

Starting from such simple stories.

– Anonymous21: Are there any students from the Department of Physical Education who can come to the alley next to Pump Chicken? High school students smoke there.

↳ Anonymous11: I will go right away to ensure the school’s security for the Department of Security Studies.

↳ Anonymous90: I can handle dental fossils. I will treat them physically.

↳ Anonymous54: I will take the law books from the Department of Law.

↳ Anonymous12: Should I bring an animal from the Department of Veterinary Medicine?

↳ Anonymous85: I’m from the Department of Film Studies. Can I go and take some pictures? It’s for an assignment.

It also connects people who need help.

– Anonymous67: Did you watch the latest movie ‘Love at the Summit’? I hope they at least tried to hide Miu’s plastic surgery, hahahaha.

– Anonymous19: If you’re going to have a seizure because I do something you can’t, don’t pay any attention, hahahaha. I’m talking about you, Department of Nursing, who feels offended by this.

Of course, it can also serve as an outlet for relieving one’s own stress or for gossiping about others.

– Anonymous69: Ah, I want to have s*x!

Or it can simply be a tool for expressing one’s desires.

Anyway.

Gahyeon University was the most actively promoted school in terms of its bamboo forest, often being introduced in other communities and media.

And I was the administrator managing such a bamboo forest.

“Sigh.”

I sighed as I scrolled through the posts on the Bamboo Forest forum on my phone. The prohibited words were automatically deleted by the macros, but for posts with attached photos, I had to check them myself.

-Anonymous69: For your daughter (photo)

As soon as I saw a post with a photo of a Western woman spreading her legs to show her panties, I immediately clicked the delete button.

“Crazy bastard.”

There were occasionally guys who tried to terrorize the Bamboo Forest through photos like this, and it was just pitiful.

“You virgin, please control yourself.”

Although I am an administrator, I can’t know the users’ personal information.

I simply have the role of keeping the forum clean, and I don’t know the identity of those who fill the forum with garbage.

Those guys probably have no friends and just eat alone.

“Just like me.”

I swore at that guy, so why am I the one feeling hurt? I eat the sandwich I bought from the convenience store hastily and head towards the classroom for the next lecture.

Since I had nowhere else to spend my time, I planned to just go there and play games on my phone or organize the forum.

The classroom was naturally quiet.

There were a few people who had arrived before me, but they all seemed indifferent to others, just like me.

I found a corner seat and started playing games on my phone.

“Hey, does that make sense?”

“Are you serious? So we decided to break up right away.”

“Isn’t she psycho?”

Female students flowed into the room. They held onto their coffees and lived each day quite vigorously, which was impressive.

“Hmm.”

Among them, there was a black-haired girl with a familiar face. She didn’t dress up as much as other students, yet she still stood out.

Seo Yerim, an English Literature major, just like me.

Even in a department with a high female ratio, there were rumors that both male classmates and seniors secretly admired her due to her noticeable appearance.

“Well, those guys pick and choose.”

I don’t know what she’s like, but there were probably quite a few guys who fell in love with her as their first love because she appears innocent.

“Hey, don’t talk about your boyfriend in front of Yerin.”

“Are you really a 20-year-old virgin?”

“Oh my! If I had Yerin’s face, I would change boyfriends every day.”

“Hey! Stop it!”

Frustrated, I flick my friends away and they grumble but end up coming right in front of me.

Instead of paying attention to me specifically, they seem to have taken a seat nearby without even realizing I’m here.

Some of Seo Ye-rin’s friends actually noticed me and gave off a vibe that they wanted to move to a different seat for no reason.

Not knowing any of this, Seo Ye-rin, who had already taken a seat, immediately took out her phone.

She looked at her phone, as if an alarm had gone off, and absentmindedly mumbling something, she scratches her chin.

“Even if I don’t want to see it, I end up seeing it.”

While playing a mobile phone game, I looked up and naturally ended up seeing what Seo Ye-rin was doing.

Because she tilted the screen to hide it from her friends, it ended up being clearer from my side.

“Bamboo Forest?”

Seo Ye-rin was in the middle of using our university’s Bamboo Forest app.

“Well, it’s kind of fun.”

I wondered if Seo Ye-rin would upload a post, but I couldn’t see the content, although I did catch a glimpse of her pressing the “Submit” button.

An alert popped up on the game screen.

As the manager of the Bamboo Forest, she had to maintain anonymity.

“But I’m not even interested.”

Regardless of what Seo Ye-rin wrote, I had no interest in her.

I closed the game and opened the Bamboo Forest app.

“Huh?”

Without realizing it, I let out a voice.

The eyes of the female students in front, including Seo Ye-rin, all turned towards me.

I unintentionally stared sharply at Seo Ye-rin’s black pupils, hesitating on whether or not to greet me, knowing that we were in the same department.

Because…

Right when Seo Ye-rin uploaded her post, one and only one post appeared on Bamboo Forest.

– Anon69: Ah, I want to have s*x!

It was Anon69, who remained faithful to their desires.
