Bamboo Forest Manager - Chapter 296



Who is the Pervert

I wasn’t sure if it was because we were drinking or if everyone had been subtly waiting for this kind of moment.

Whatever it was, our conversation flowed quite lively.

“It seems a bit excessive. Isn’t that kind of thing going to backfire instead?”

At Choi Yi-seo’s words, Seo Yerin pouted her lips. She was saying that she was being too proactive in a s*xual way.

“Isn’t it similar to dopamine? If you get too addicted to stimulation and can’t feel it as stimulation anymore, that’s a problem in a relationship, right?”

Is that so?

I thought Seo Yerin would never get used to that. She had a great figure and was incredibly pretty.

I took a bite of the cheese from the snacks we ordered and frowned.

It looked delicious on the outside, but it was really terrible.

“Is Yi-seo avoiding that because of it? The style of saving delicious side dishes to eat later?”

“That’s a bit of an analogy. But you could say it feels that way.”

“Hmm?”

As I stared intently at Choi Yi-seo, who nodded, Yua-rin sipped her wine.

She seemed to have something she wanted to say, but noticing her gaze, Choi Yi-seo awkwardly asked first.

“Why.”

“Is that really the only reason?”

“…….”

“Aren’t we supposed to be honest and lay everything out here? Like how Kim Woo-jin shared his preferences earlier.”

“Ah, damn.”

I feel embarrassed again and cover my face with my hands. I recall how the others had asked me to share, and I ended up talking about my favorite positions, body parts, and situations like a child giving a presentation.

No matter how much I had drunk, or that I was dating these people, it was still incredibly embarrassing to share such things.

“We agreed to only speak the truth here.”

“…….”

“Choi Yi-seo?”

It felt like watching a cat that absolutely wouldn’t let go of a door. When Yoo Ah-rin playfully probed, Choi Yi-seo finally spoke up honestly, her face flushed.

“Um, yeah. It’s nice, I guess.”

The corners of her mouth subtly lifted.

My confidence as a man had just been significantly boosted.

“But the problem is that it feels too good… Plus, the next day it’s hard to move.”

“Ha, see! In the end, it’s not about dopamine or stimulation control, you just don’t want to do it because the next day is tough.”

“But—!”

“But what? We agreed to be honest.”

“……Yeah, that’s right. It’s just that the next day is hard. Especially with things like exercise, it’s impossible.”

Seo Ye-rin, who had been sulking at Choi Yi-seo’s words, suddenly chuckles.

“What’s this? In the end, you’re all just lewd kids.”

“Ugh, lewd?! Did you just call me lewd? Even so, you shouldn’t be saying that, Ye-rin!”

Choi Yi-seo, rarely getting flustered, reacts. Then Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin continue to tease her with laughter.

“They say the quiet ones are the most perverted!”

“That’s true. Those who don’t express it and pretend are actually the biggest perverts behind the scenes.”

“Ah, no! That’s not true!”

Choi Yi-seo immediately looks at me. Her gaze seems to ask for help, and I jump in without hesitation.

“Well then, Yi-seo, you’re the most lewd among us four.”

“Hey!”

Choi Yi-seo charges at me in excitement. I manage to catch her with a well-timed clasp of my hands, but her strength compresses me against the back of the sofa like a press.

“Y-Yi-seo? I think I’m going to suffocate!”

“I’m more lewd than Seo Ye-rin? That’s just not true! Huh? No matter what, comparing me to someone who only has s*x on their mind is just ridiculous!”

“Wounded!”

Seo Ye-rin clutched her chest, pretending to be hurt, but no one paid her any mind.

“Cancel it!”

“No, Lee Seo! Being lewd isn’t a bad thing! What’s wrong with being honest with yourself?”

“Ugh! That’s not what I’m saying right now—!”

“Honestly, acting like this makes you look even weirder, you know?”

Gradually, the tension in her hands eased. The girl who had been huffing and puffing let out a deep sigh and trudged back to her seat.

“Ha, fine. Everyone’s already said what they wanted to say anyway. What difference does it make to hear that kind of talk now?”

She took a sip of wine, trying to calm her anger.

“Ah, this is hilarious, Choi Yi-seo. Why are you making such a fuss? It is what it is.”

Yu Ah-rin, who was laughing heartily, seemed to enjoy teasing Choi Yi-seo like this.

“But actually, Ah-rin, you’re lewd too.”

Seo Ye-rin, who had been pretending to be hurt earlier, shot a glance at Yu Ah-rin while maintaining her pose.

“…Me?”

Yu Ah-rin pointed at herself in disbelief. But Seo Ye-rin continued, as if she already knew everything.

“No, it’s not that you’re lewd; it’s more like you embody the essence of a female.”

“What the hell is she saying? If you’re drunk, go lie down and sleep it off!”

“Woo-jin likes hitting, you know. Not subtly, but outright.”

“What? What did you say?! Me? No way! Not at all!”

As Yu Ah-rin flared up and tried to charge at Seo Ye-rin, Choi Yi-seo quickly intervened to stop her.

“Ah-rin, why are you so embarrassed? It sounds so fake.”

“Ugh, so this is how it is, huh?”

Yu Ah-rin gritted her teeth.

But Seo Ye-rin continued to provoke her.

“Isn’t it true? Back then, when we were together, you were flinching and jumping every time our butts touched!”

“Come here, this isn’t good.”

In the end, Yu Ah-rin pushed past Choi Yi-seo and lunged at Seo Ye-rin. Seo Ye-rin immediately leaped over the sofa and ran to the bed, throwing the blanket over herself.

“Referee! Referee! I surrender! I’m down!”

“Shut up, you idiot! Where’s the referee here?!”

—

It’s funny watching the two of them playfully tussling on the bed. Eventually, Choi I-seo intervenes, trying to stop Yoo Ah-rin.

Ding dong!

The doorbell rings, and I set down my wine glass, heading straight for the front door.

When I open the door, there stands Senior Joo-hee.

I feel a bit guilty towards the senior who was supposed to be staying in this room.

“Are you still talking?”

“Ah, I’m sorry, Senior. If it’s okay, I can give you my room key, so you can sleep there.”

“…….”

Without a word, Senior Joo-hee takes the key.

She stares blankly at me, then pulls out a bunch of condoms from her pocket and hands them to me.

“Woo-jin… no, Young Master. Please! I’m begging you! Make sure to use them!”

“Senior, I don’t think anything will happen today. Everyone is gathered here, after all.”

No way would the four of us just decide to go for it.

Or would we?

Still, as a man, should I at least make an effort?

“Is that so? Is that really how it is? Anyway, I’m seriously asking you! It’s a special request from the vice president, so please help me save face.”

“……This is awkward.”

It feels strange to receive a request from a senior to use a condom like this.

I never imagined she would be this earnest about it.

“Alright, I got it. Don’t worry too much.”

“Phew, okay. Woo-jin, I really trust you.”

“Yes, and tomorrow, don’t mind me. Just relax or hang out. You’ll be more comfortable with Yoon-ji or Jin-ah.”

I’m not sure about Oh Yoon-ji, but I’m pretty close with Choi Jin-ah, so it shouldn’t be hard to get along.

After hanging the bunch of condoms around my neck like a necklace, I walk back into the living room, where a scene of chaos has already unfolded.

Seo Ye-rin is sprawled out on the bed in disarray.

Yoo Ah-rin is chugging beer with a huff, while Choi I-seo sighs between them, shaking her head.

“Guys, Senior Joo-hee just gave me condoms. Shouldn’t we use them, considering her thoughtfulness?”

As I put forth my opinion, Yoo Ah-rin and Choi I-seo shoot me a glare.

“Shut up! Go blow up some balloons with those, you jerk!”

“What are we really going to do?”

—

“……I was just saying it.”

To be honest, I was somewhat serious.

After putting the condom in the corner, I sat back down, and Seo Ye-rin, lying on the bed, suddenly shouted.

“Tell me, Woo-jin! Who do you think is the most lewd one here?!”

From noble mtl dot com

The microphone suddenly came back to me.

It seemed that since they couldn’t come to a decision among themselves, the decision-making power had shifted to me.

“Hmm.”

Until a moment ago, I had thought it was obviously Seo Ye-rin. But now that I had the power to decide, I found myself deep in thought.

“Can I decide based on what I feel?”

“Yeah, go ahead.”

The two who had thought it was obviously Seo Ye-rin accepted it, but when I actually pondered it…

“They’re all pretty similar, aren’t they?”

It was quite difficult to decide.

“That’s nonsense!”

“That’s ridiculous!”

Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Yi-seo protested vehemently, but I calmed them down and said.

“At first glance, you could say Seo Ye-rin is the most open. But that’s just being honest. She expresses herself because she’s honest.”

In other words, even if someone is more lewd than Seo Ye-rin, hiding it is a different matter.

“In the end, lewdness should be measured by the actions taken, right?”

Was I being persuasive enough?

The two hesitated and couldn’t really argue back.

“When it comes to the intensity or duration of the actions, it’s definitely Choi Yi-seo. When I’m with her, it feels like we spend almost the whole day.”

“Such a lewd girl.”

“That’s why she complains about being tired the next day.”

“…….”

But with Choi Yi-seo, we only engaged in typical play.

“On the other hand, the unique play was with Yoo Ah-rin. We even used handcuffs, and she did a cat cosplay.”

“Hey!”

“Wow….”

“Handcuffs and a cat?”

—

It was Yoo Ah-rin shouting at me as if to argue, but today was the day to lay everything bare honestly.

Seo Ye-rin and Choi Yi-seo looked at Yoo Ah-rin, as if to say, “Did you really go that far?”

Yoo Ah-rin, flustered with embarrassment, buried her head deep.

“Ye-rin really did it at all times. At Gold One, we were in the roommates’ room, but she did it in the living room, and there were many places we did it.”

If we were to count the instances among the three, Seo Ye-rin was undoubtedly in first place.

“Hehe.”

Seo Ye-rin, unlike the others, was smug.

“Oh, and we also did the bathroom play.”

“Woo Ji-na?!”

“Crazy.”

“…….”

Startled, Seo Ye-rin jumped up from the bed, trying to rush at me, but the other two held her back.

“Our Ye-rin was so happy she nearly lost it?”

“Did you bring diapers too, Ye-rin?”

“No! I just drank beer that time! I said I wanted to go to the bathroom, but Woo Ji-na wouldn’t let me!”

In the end, Seo Ye-rin, overwhelmed with embarrassment, dove back under the blankets.

“I really hate Kim Mu-jin! Go away! So annoying!”

Kicking the blanket with her feet, Seo Ye-rin poured out her grievances.

“So, are we all pretty much the same?”

Shrugging my shoulders, I reached a vague conclusion.

The other two turned their heads and glared at me.

“Hey, isn’t that guy the problem?”

“I was thinking the same thing.”

“No, you guys asked me to decide. I listed the reasons for a fair judgment, so why are you acting like this?”

“Doesn’t he have anything embarrassing?”

“……I don’t think so.”

As if there could be any.

Feeling a bit smug, I shrugged my shoulders, and from under the blanket, Seo Ye-rin muttered one word.

“Oh Yun-ji.”

“…….”

—

“…….”

“I think he knows something.”

A brief silence.

Feeling the awkward gazes of the others sneaking glances at me, I awkwardly shifted my position toward the entrance.

It was a ploy to prevent anyone from leaving.

“No matter how much we’re in America and have revealed everything, she’s still my ex. Let’s not cross the line.”

“Seeing that b*stard act like that, there’s definitely something going on.”

“I’m curious, though.”

But perhaps they didn’t want to involve Oh Yoon-ji in this, so they didn’t move.

‘Thank goodness.’

Starting from the embarrassment of the first time, it was just a series of humiliating events.

The fact that these guys could avoid such embarrassing moments was because they learned from the failure with Oh Yoon-ji.

“Hey, but we’ve been drinking. Can we go to the pool in the early morning?”

The topic subtly shifted to another direction.

“No way. Absolutely not.”

Choi Yi-seo declared firmly. In the end, the plan to go to the pool in the early morning was canceled.

“Then should we order more drinks?”

As if waiting for the cue, Yoo Ah-rin quickly ordered more drinks, and the night deepened further.
