Bamboo Forest Manager - Chapter 66



66 – Anonymous69 and Admin

Seo Yerin’s place had a rather mismatched appearance compared to its name, “a studio apartment.”

It was just an ordinary two-story detached house, and among them, she was using the second floor alone.

And I never imagined that I would end up here.

“Come in quietly.”

Seo Yerin, who brought me into the house, had a flushed face, but she didn’t stumble or waver as if she had sobered up completely.

“Because we can’t make noise downstairs.”

Downstairs?

Is she talking about the first floor?

“What is that sound?” I wondered, but Seo Yerin explained, almost whispering about what was embarrassing.

“If your parents live on the first floor…”

“What? It’s not living alone.”

“I-I am living alone! I do everything, like cooking and cleaning! They don’t interfere because they said I should know how to do it all…!”

“Ah, I see.”

I felt like I knew exactly how she felt.

Perhaps Seo Yerin was the compromise between her parents.

They must have known.

How valuable their daughter was in the market.

I worry that she might be bullied or led astray by anyone.

But I want her to grow independence.

The current living arrangement is a result of both parties’ hearts existing together.

“…So, does that mean I shouldn’t come?”

Seo Yerin, removing her shoes, went inside without knowing if her parents knew that she had placed a stake in their hearts.

She glanced at me then gestured for me to quickly come inside.

“Sigh.”

Once inside, the living room caught my eye as it was well-organized.

“No, is this…?”

Should I say it is not being used?

The living room was so spacious that it didn’t feel like it was being separately used for anything other than furniture.

Anyway, it was true that the scent was good enough that it didn’t feel like a living arrangement at all.

“Just wait a moment.”

Saying that, Seo Yerin boldly entered her own room. I caught a glimpse through the crack of the door and noticed that her room was slightly messy.

“Ah.”

Perhaps she was the only one using her own room. And it seemed like it wasn’t being well-maintained.

Sitting on the sofa, I checked the time.

11 PM.

I sighed and waited for the alcohol to wear off a bit, almost dozing off.

“Woojin?”

“Huh? What?”

When I suddenly woke up and opened my eyes, there was Seo Yerin in front of me wearing a loose white t-shirt and sleep shorts.

I already knew that this style made a man’s heart beat much faster through my ex-girlfriend.

But Seo Yerin’s appearance had a destructive power that exceeded my expectations.

“Are you asleep?”

Seo Yerin looked at me with an annoyed expression while crossing her arms. I raised my hand and answered as naturally as possible.

“No? I was thinking about what to talk about next.”

At my words, Seo Yerin’s cheeks turned red again. Then she quickly ran to the refrigerator.

She brought back wine and a mug.

“I don’t have wine glasses….”

I don’t know where she learned to drink wine from a mug.

“Then why did you buy wine at home?”

“I…received it as a gift.”

“….”

Maybe a man gave it to her?

She probably asked me to do something while drinking that.

“I don’t think I can do it properly if I’m sober.”

While saying that, Seo Yerin tried to open the wine with an opener. As I saw her struggling, I suddenly snapped out of my daze.

“Wait! I didn’t come here for that kind of thing!”

At my words, Seo Yerin stared at me blankly and asked.

“Oh, really?”

She’s really crazy.

“I came here to talk. Not with Seo Yerin and Kim Woojin….”

As Anonymous69 and the administrator.

When I added that, Seo Yerin’s expression turned red again. It seems that she still feels uncomfortable being called Anonymous69 in real life.

“First, let’s talk about how you figured out who I am.”

I had a suspicion, but I needed to say it first.

“I also want to know how you figured out who I am!”

Seo Yerin also seemed to want to know why I already knew the identity of Anonymous69 before she revealed herself.

“So….”

Just as I was about to speak.

I was speechless, my words stuck in my throat.

The weight of inferring that you were Anonymous69 from the photos you sent me wearing only underwear was heavier than I thought.

It’s not easy to talk about this while sober.

“Hey, just spill it already.”

Saying that we should talk while uncorking a bottle of wine, Seo Yerin casually handed me a bottle as if she had been waiting.

“Uncork it.”

“You can’t even do this? Give it to me.”

Snap, snap.

“Oh, the opener broke!”

“Huh? Did you put it in too deep?”

“If that’s the case, can’t we drink it?”

“Bring a knife and chopsticks!”

Cut, cut.

“Ugh, the cork crumbs got into the alcohol!”

“…You can just drink it.”

“Ugh, what is this!”

* * *

“Breaking news.”

I sat down on the floor, leaning against the sofa in a tipsy state, and listlessly read the writings on my phone.

“Administrator Super-Restrained Creature, Female Pleasure Stick, Baby Invasion Attacker, Confirmed Pregnancy Fake, s*x Machine That Doesn’t Need Fuel, Big Black, Golden Sun, 180cm80kg30cm, Sent a Late Night Message Yesterday and Waking Up Refreshed.”

“Don’t, don’t say it!”

Seo Yerin, who had been lying on the sofa in a daze, suddenly got up and kicked me with her foot.

It was one of the inquiries Seo Yerin had sent me anonymously as Anonymous69.

“Breaking news, mountain climbers mistakenly think the administrator is an ebony guy conquering Mount Everest.”

“Shut up, just die! Don’t say it!”

Now, Seo Yerin tried to rush at me to snatch my phone away, but I moved my body back and continued reading.

“Do you just want to put your **** in a box and **** it? Seo Yerin, you really wrote a lot of crazy stuff.”

“It wasn’t me! I’m not the one!”

Seo Yerin, covering her ears and thrashing around, suddenly raised her head and stared at me.

“That was the day you told me you slept with someone, right?”

Seo Yerin approached me quietly. The disapproving gaze was visible on her red face due to the effect of alcohol.

“Who is it?”

“Personal privacy.”

“You’ve already invaded my privacy.”

Look at this?

“Then why are you sending this to someone you don’t even know who they are?! Do you know how dangerous that is?”

“Ugh.”

Seo Yerin started to back away hesitantly in response to my words. I continued to shoot at her without missing a beat.

“What if it wasn’t me, but someone strange? Why are you creating vulnerabilities?”

“So, I haven’t sent anything recently.”

“Huh.”

That’s right, she hasn’t.

She had sent a Western actress’s photo last time, claiming it was her daughter.

I guess that was her way of coming to her senses.

Was it because I hesitated?

While fidgeting, Seo Yerin cried out while pointing her finger.

“From the beginning! You looked at mine and evaluated it! Saying it’s not good enough! You even said the actress’s photo from last time was more to your liking!”

“…I deliberately told you not to send any more photos.”

“Then am I better than the actress?”

“….”

Honestly.

I did prefer the actress’s body more. How can I resist Western content?

“Eeik! You said that, but you’re still saving my photos, aren’t you? Did you use them for something sinister?!”

“That’s funny.”

I confidently held out my phone and replied.

“1234. You know the password, right? Go ahead and check. Did I save even a single one of your pictures?”

“….”

She was confident.

It was my conscience and consideration towards Seo Yerin. I hadn’t saved a single picture of her from the ones she sent.

“Damn.”

As it seems, Seo Yerin didn’t like it, so she plopped down on the couch without even checking her phone.

I also tried to sit back in my original seat, but my vision was blurry and I ended up sitting unsteadily, as if I was about to fall over.

“Ah, crazy.”

I forgot that I was a bit weak to wine-like alcohol. I hadn’t even had a few drinks, but I was already feeling dizzy.

Plus, I was already in a state of being drunk from the first round at the festival bar.

“This won’t do.”

Although it was quite enjoyable to have this time to talk honestly without hiding anything, it seemed like if we stayed here any longer, we would fall asleep, so it was about time to wrap things up.

“I’m going home now.”

I forced myself to stand up and tried to go home, but my clothes were pulled back and I ended up plopping back down on the couch.

“…….”

Seo Yerin silently pulled me back and sat me down. The atmosphere was strange, even though she kept her mouth shut and didn’t let go of me.

“What’s wrong? You’re leaving now?”

I didn’t have much strength in my body due to the influence of the alcohol. If I drank more here, the film in my head might be cut, so I needed to control myself.

“Do you remember what we talked about back then?”

Seo Yerin suddenly started reminiscing.

“I don’t remember. I said I’m going.”

I didn’t know what she was trying to say, but a warning sound that I shouldn’t stay any longer loudly rang in my head.

I tried to get up slowly, but all of a sudden, Seo Yerin’s leg that was resting on my thigh prevented me from getting up.

“I asked you to meet me once back then.”

Ah…

I have a memory of her suddenly asking me if I would meet her.

“And…”

And what did she say…

I can’t think straight because I’m drunk.

“If you seem alright when we meet.”

I realized a bit late as Seo Yerin slowly revealed the answer.

“Let’s give it a try.”

Seo Yerin was now straddling me.

I could feel the sensation of her buttocks on my thighs, and our alcohol-scented breaths mingled in the air.

Did I let myself get carried away with that?

Feeling the lower half of my body stiffen, I found myself staring at Seo Yerin unintentionally.

She looked down at me and smiled slightly.

“Cute.”

“Wh-what?”

I tried to say something, but it was already too late. Lips parted, her tongue tasted sweet but bitter, awkwardly entwined like the taste of wine.

Slowly pulling away her lips from mine, Seo Yerin approached my ear and whispered softly.

“Do I have a mole on my thigh?”

“Oh, yeah.”

Smiling at my answer, Seo Yerin asked with a smirk.

“Do you want to see?”

* * *

“Yerin-ah! I told you it was a festival yesterday, what time did you come in?!”

I opened my eyes abruptly at my mother’s nervous voice.

The sunlight poured in brightly.

Looking around, it was Seo Yerin’s room, oddly organized, and I was on the bed.

And…

“Uh…?”

Seo Yerin, naked, sound asleep next to me. She had her arms wrapped around my waist, showing no intention of letting go.

“Wh-what the hell?!”

I thought the film had been cut, but it hadn’t.

I remember it vividly, sorry.

I did it.

I went for it.

Unable to resist Seo Yerin’s temptation, I succumbed like a beast.

At that moment, various complex emotions pressed deeply through my entire body, pushing away fatigue.

“Ugh, how late does this one sleep until.”

The sound of the front door opening echoed.

It meant Seo Yerin’s mother had come home.
