Bamboo Forest Manager

Chapter 43: Temptation

Chapter 43: Temptation

Sigh.

Saturday.

Not having witnessed the Bamboo Forest bustling with activity even on the weekend for a while, Seo Yerin let out a light breath.

The turmoil in her heart from yesterdays events had somewhat settled down.

Haaah

However, recalling it made her face redden with embarrassment. It was lucky that only Jeong Chan-woo had seen her sitting on the street, crying.

She wanted to go see Kim Woojin right away, but she was a mess from crying, and the police arriving had calmed the situation, so she returned home.

Yes, she came back after that.

I should have just met him yesterday.

To be honest.

She wanted to see him.

She wanted to talk to Kim Woojin about anything.

Argh!

Seo Yerin, lying down, kicked the blanket furiously. She had been researching how to become an admin of the Bamboo Forest.

Honestly, she had been feeling conflicted because of the Bamboo Forest Admin, but now it was Kim Woojin that was making things complicated.

Sigh.

Even when asked about the Bamboo Forest Admin, the new one didnt respond.

They might be busy with something or perhaps being scolded by the Admin.

-Anonymous69: Wondering how great a person they must be to hide their identity.

After sending a direct 1:1 message to the Admin, she checked her messages.

It was a bit awkward to say it, but already five men had messaged her.

With suggestions for lunch, dinner, or watching a movie.

Among them was Kang Chang-sik, the senior who had been hitting on her the day before.

Seo Yerin, who politely declined them all, couldnt help but wonder if Kim Woojin would message her too.

But there was nothing.

It was to be expected.

Should I just ask him to come play a game?

Lets go to the PC caf.

Or maybe lets grab something to eat?

Would he come out if she suggested eating spicy pork?

Work out?

Somehow, she felt like Choi Yiseo would come with them. It isnt that she disliked Choi Yiseo, and it would be nice to have her come along too, but.

I want it to be just the two of us talking.

Because of what happened yesterday, Seo Yerin wanted to have a talk with Kim Woojin, and it wouldnt be genuine with Choi Yiseo there.

Sigh.

About a week ago, she could text him without a problem. Wasnt there a time when she went to the soup restaurant to get Kim Woojins number after receiving consolation from the Admin?

Back then, it wasnt a huge deal.

Why does sending a single message make my heart race so much?

After taking a deep breath, Seo Yerin wrote and erased her text several times before finally

-Seo Yerin: What are you doing?

She just threw the message out.

Even after 10 minutes.

Even after 20 minutes.

Wh-whats this?

Even after 30 minutes, there was no response.

It wasnt like him to be asleep at this time, and Seo Yerin knew that Woojin was someone who responds quickly to messages.

Hmm?

All she could do was tilt her head and wait.

Ack!

The headbutt had struck my body, giving it a strong blow.

Due to Yu Arin throwing her entire body weight, I ended up falling back and collapsing in the entranceway.

Uwahahaha!

For some reason, she was ecstatic as she stepped over me and entered the studio apartment.

I tried to reach out to stop her, but only managed to graze her ankle and couldnt stop her.

Having neatly taken off her shoes, which were more like slippers, she leaped onto the mattress.

Uwaha! Im back!

Lying on my mattress, I watched Yu Arin roll around, and this made my head throb.

I did the laundry to get rid of her smell, now wouldnt this just bring it back?

Yah! Get out!

Uhm! Woojin smells so good!

This is insane!

As I rushed over to snatch away the blanket she was clinging onto with her arms and legs, she refused to let it go.

After wrestling for a while, I gave up and threw the blanket down in frustration.

Why are you here!

Right.

Yu Arin was wriggling, holding onto the blanket as she climbed back onto the mattress.

Lying down, she hit the mattress and said,

I feel so annoyed. Suddenly, I had to listen to stuff as if I was their caretaker. Even when I try to talk, they all just curse at me.

Thats how Admin works.

Well, fine. Honestly, the uni life did get a bit boring, so trying something like this out wouldnt be bad, especially since youre the Admin. But.

But?

I thought she wouldnt accept it easily, but Yu Arin raised her middle finger at me with a smile.

I came here because I wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine for making me do this.

Raameonnn! I bought ramen!

While saying that, Yu Arin began to giggle and look at her phone.

I couldnt help but feel shocked by her intention to abandon me.

Arent you being too reckless?

Coming to a mans studio apartment and lying on his bed as if she wasnt trying to tempt him.

Hm?

Yu Arin, seemingly surprised that I would say such a thing, briefly scanned her look.

Then, she smiled and asked,

Why? Feeling turned on?

Sigh, your behavior. Youve annoyed me enough so go back now.

Hmm?

After glancing around, Yu Arin slightly lifted her sweatshirt and showed her white belly.

The sight of her pale skin and belly button there was provocative.

Got a condom?

Yah!

Impotent bastard. Not confident, huh?

Seeing Yu Arin giggling and laughing, my expression changed, and at some point, I stepped toward her and pushed her down.

Kyaah!

Yu Arin, on the mattress, finds this amusing. Her stomach was still exposed due to the clothes all disheveled and one of my legs was wedged between hers, making it impossible for her to escape.

We were close enough for our noses to touch.

Stay within your limits.

Looking down at her lying there, when I said that, Yu Arin made a face as if it was absurd.

Try it then.

I thought it would be enough to stop there, but

Yu Arin went a step further and grabbed one of my hands and put it on her chest.

So? Try it.

I was dumbfounded.

I wondered why she was being like this, but having not masturbated since the breakup had my desires swell for a moment.

Throb.

When I gently squeezed the hand placed on Yu Arins chest, I could feel the softness which wasnt hidden by her clothes.

Mmm.

Yu Arin let out a slight moan.

Just as I couldnt hold back any longer and was about to move, I caught a glimpse of Yu Arin who was smiling slyly at me.

The moment I looked in her eyes.

I was certain.

Ah.

She doesnt have feelings for me, right?

Its not that she suddenly began to like me at some point.

Shes acting like this for a reason.

That was when I thought of Jeong Chan-woo.

Realizing this, I withdrew my hand and stepped back with Yu Arin giving me a cold glare.

Are you really enduring this?

Because my friend likes you.

I had almost betrayed Jeong Chan-woo, succumbing to male desires. I had to admit that I was swayed by the chance without even realizing it.

Yu Arin looked at me expressionlessly, perhaps not liking my answer.

It was the scariest expression I had ever seen on her.

Just why are you doing this? Starting with your sudden approach last time, why are you being like this?

We had gotten closer, but there were times when it felt too close. Like now, for instance.

You want to know?

Yes.

Ask Jeong Chan-woo. Tell me how he answers too, Im curious about it.

I thought about doing it because I figured it might stop people from linking me and Jeong Chan-woo, if you and I Well, the reason I approached you was

Yu Arin trailed off and looked at her phone.

But from the appearance of her neatly dressed phone, it didnt seem like things would go that way again.

Yeah, whatever it is, Im saying just one thing.

Looking down at her, I advised her.

It isnt okay to sleep around with just anyone. Not for Jeong Chan-woo, but Im saying this for your sake.

Like those people from the university next to Minjis during the incident. Theres a chance that bad things might result from it.

At my words, she turned her gaze to me and burst into laughter.

Isnt this something that not just anyone will do? I thought it might be fine since it was you.

Ah, which is why its not possible.

Because I wanted to lose my virginity in the first place.

Virginity?

Yes, virginity.

As I stare at Yu Arin with a shocked look, she covered her lips with the phone and raised her middle finger.

Your chance is gone, moron.

I dont betray friends, so give me my phone. Ill break ties with Chan-woo.

Hahaha! Insane bastard!

Of course, it was a joke.

But seeing her laugh loudly, I couldnt help but feel not bad.

Its a joke. Now go home. You shouldnt be here.

Why? I wanted to stay for dinner. Lets order chicken. Arent we celebrating my new admin role?

Ill treat you later, Im busy now.

I was thinking of buying her a meal to encourage her to work well in the future.

Lets call it even with that time when she took me home in a drunken state.

Busy? With what?

Ah, this is annoying.

Its personal. Im busy. So leave.

Ah, so what is it! Ive made the time to come here, so I need to know before I leave.

Sigh.

Seeing Yu Arin determined not to leave, I slapped my forehead and said,

I need to masturbate.

Uh?

Because I am horny and need to relieve it.

Ah ha?

So leave. I need to start looking for a nice video to do it.

At my words, Yu Arin was shocked and scratched her cheek asking.

Just do it with me here. Whats the problem with me seeing you run a toothpick?

I guess Ill call Chan-woo to take you.

Ah shit! Fine! Ill be in the bathroom while you do it!

Go home! Why are you making a mess at my place!

Admin1 is hungry! Give me food!

The serious atmosphere which was present till then had vanished without a trace, and the insults began to come in from both sides as usual.
