Life.
There are tis when unique and amazing things co your way, and the important thing is timing.
An extraordinary situation that arrives at an unexpected ti feels like it’s testing my sense, ntal state, or reaction speed.
If I had to pinpoint it, today seed to be just that kind of a day for .
I was staring blankly at the mirror while brushing my teeth.
A day with no lectures.
Thanks to my kind neighbors, the seniors, who took on all my assignnts, I had a day more leisurely than other students.
Since it’s ti to prepare for midterms, I thought I might as well study and sat down.
But before I knew it, I found myself turning on my laptop to play a ga.
After stopping the ga and managing the Bamboo Forest, I found myself watching Popo’s broadcast this ti.
The Construction Engineering departnt kids were posting all over the Bamboo Forest about Popo’s broadcast, so I deleted the posts and went to watch Popo for the first ti in a while.
‘She’s doing well.’
She was eating a hamburger and chatting about this and that.
She looked much healthier and laughs more than when I last saw her, which is quite nice to see.
- What? You’re asking if this is lunch? No, it’s breakfast. I woke up late. It’s not brunch. I’ll be eating lunch again soon.
[I love you, noona.]
- Oh my! Thank you for the 100 coins donation, PopoLove! I love you too?
Her reaction to the donation was sowhat plain.
Because of that, she got so harsh words from President Hwang, but she insisted it was her broadcasting style.
“Hmm.”
Normally, I would have just turned it off.
Maybe because the exam study was waiting for , I found myself sending coins with the Kim Woojin ID.
The mory of being reprimanded a few tis for giving orders to the kids while with President Hwang lingered.
[Fighting]
- Yes, Kim Woojin, 10 coins recei…
Popo, who was staring blankly at the screen, rubbed her eyes and then grabbed the mouse.
She seems to be searching my history.
- Huh? Why? Oh, it’s nothing. I just thought you were soone I know.
Awkwardly smiling, Popo continued to move the mouse.
- Oh, I think the lunch delivery is here. Huh? Did I order more? Should we stop eating here?
- I am not being threatened, so should I stop shaking the cola? If we shake the cola, we can’t drink it.
Jokingly speaking as she left the screen, Popo. I also turned off the broadcast and prepared to study again.
Buzz!
- Popo: It’s been a while.
A ssage ca.
- Kim Woojin: Streaming. The kids flooded the Bamboo Forest so much, I ca to check it out.
- Popo: Then I guess I should do more wallpapering.
- Kim Woojin: Please don’t.
These bastards in the Construction Engineering departnt, seriously.
- Popo: I’m returning to university from the second sester. I decided to go back with the Boss.
- Kim Woojin: Really? Maybe we’ll run into each other.
- Popo: I’m a third-year, though.
- Kim Woojin: …Should I call you noona?
- Popo: Just buy a al if we et.
- Kim Woojin: No way. You eat five servings as a basic.
We had a brief chat.
Anyway, thanks to Yoon-ji and second brother taking good care of Popo, there didn’t seem to be any major issues now for her.
I also glanced at the chats, and perhaps because it had been in the news about her being confined, most of the chats were mild.
“Ah, I really need to study.”
Closing the laptop, I pushed it aside.
Just like I exercised for Seo Yerin, this ti I planned to study to win over Choi Yiseo.
I actually started studying, but.
Knock knock.
Soone ca to the room.
“Who is it?”
Resentnt pours out toward soone who interrupted my study.
I was really concentrating well just now.
“Senior, it’s , Gyu-ah.”
“Yes, there’s no one here, so go away.”
“…I also bought so bread for you, Senior.”
“I don’t eat bread.”
“Senior? Can we talk for a mont?”
“No, you iguana girl.”
I respond with genuine annoyance.
Bang!
A loud noise as if soone kicked the door.
“Please talk to ! Because of you, my image is ruined, you know? Everyone found out I was two-timing?”
“That’s your fault!”
“Sigh.”
Isn’t that a correct statent though?
She aid at first anyway.
“Senior… Actually, watching you seniors made think a lot too?”
A sowhat serious voice.
“I too, wanted to be deeply into soone. So, but….”
“I’m sorry, but all my seats are taken.”
“Are you crazy? What would I even see in the Senior to like you? Please help get along with Ahn Hyeon-ho senior.”
“……”
I drank kimchi soup for nothing.
As I sighed and stepped outside, Gyu-ah was holding a real slice of bread.
“The bread sense is really ssed up. I don’t even have jam in my room.”
“You just eat plain bread.”
Whatever it is, for now.
“You want to get along with Hyeon-ho?”
When I asked, Gyu-ah nodded slightly.
“It seems difficult.”
Hyeon-ho already seems to have lost interest in Gyu-ah.
…Why are there so many victims and perpetrators of two-timing around ?
Is the university originally this sort of place?
“So, I ca to get advice from you. You were okay even when you openly declared you were seeing three people.”
“You didn’t see get hit, did you?”
I was beaten to the point of losing consciousness.
At that ti.
“Woojin?”
At the end of the hallway, Choi Yiseo’s voice ca from the stairs.
I reflexively tried to trip Gyu-ah, but she had already skillfully stepped back.
“…Quick-witted, huh?”
“Not the first ti.”
“What are you doing?”
Choi Yiseo looked at us with a bewildered expression, and I hesitated for a mont before giving a clear explanation.
“The hallway floor is dirty, so I’m trying to clean it.”
“Hmm?”
“So I asked the first-year kids to bring a rag, but they brought Gyu-ah instead? Haha.”
“You bastard.”
Gyu-ah cursed beside , but I didn’t care about her words.
Even if I’m called a trashy person, as long as Choi Yiseo doesn’t misunderstand, I am alright.
“That’s not funny, and it’s rude. Apologize to Gyu-ah.”
But instead of misunderstanding, Choi Yiseo scolded .
“I’m sorry.”
“So are you going to help? You promised, right?”
Gyu-ah tries to change the subject and quickly flees.
“What should you help with?”
I briefly explained to Choi Yiseo, who looked puzzled.
Ahn Hyeon-ho used to target Gyu-ah but gave up now. Now, it’s the opposite; Gyu-ah is targeting Ahn Hyeon-ho.
Upon hearing this, Choi Yiseo’s expression brightens.
“That’s great! It’d be nice for Hyeon-ho to date!”
“…Look at you, happy for the chance to get rid of him.”
“Ahem.”
Choi Yiseo awkwardly clears her throat and slyly offers a lunch box.
“You said you were studying. I thought it was admirable, so I brought you food.”
“Oh?”
“It’s pork neck pilaf. I know you like things like kimchi fried rice. But I thought you might eat that often.”
Is she bringing rice dishes I can’t often eat, knowing I like rice?
Honestly, I don’t really know the difference between fried rice and pilaf.
“Thanks, I’ll enjoy it.”
“I just made it, so eat it before it gets cold.”
“You made it yourself? Yiseo…!”
Feeling touched, I looked at her, and Choi Yiseo awkwardly crossed her arms.
“I still can’t accept that you’re trying to keep all three people in your heart.”
“……”
“But it doesn’t change the fact that you have feelings for .”
On the other hand.
“So I just need to make you choose , right?”
“……”
“And there’s that mindset of giving an extra rice cake to the hated one. Anyway, I’ll be studying at the library, so contact if you need anything.”
“Why not study in my room? The library is crowded and a bit inconvenient.”
At my suggestion, Choi Yiseo glanced at the door and asked with her arms still crossed.
“Can you promise not to get distracted?”
I did just play gas and watch shows in between studying.
“I can promise not to.”
Right now, I’m confident.
But with Choi Yiseo sitting next to , if our shoulders bump a couple of tis, I’m not sure if I’ll still be confident then.
“Looking at your eyes, it’s not true.”
Choi Yiseo says and swiftly turns away.
In the end, failing to stop Choi Yiseo, I went back to my room.
I’m not that hungry yet, so I’ll study a bit before eating.
“Alright!”
I gathered my resolve to study hard again.
Clatter!
As the door opened, Yu Arin entered, sweating profusely.
“Hey, I’m just going to take a quick shower.”
“…What did you do to sweat so much?”
“Basketball. The guys asked to join, and it was more fun than I thought.”
It doesn’t seem like she played basketball just with girls. So, did she play with the boys?
Before I knew it, Yu Arin, who had entered the bathroom and stripped down, poked her head out to speak.
“I played with the girls from the won’s basketball club. Anyway, look at that jerk being hypocritically jealous.”
“Ahem.”
Bang!
Yu Arin closed the door and started showering.
The sound of water felt strangely enticing, giving a peculiar sensation.
Before I knew it, I had put my pen down.
Had about 20 minutes passed?
“Hey, pass a towel.”
Yu Arin, soaking wet, peeked her head out again.
“It’s on the towel rack there.”
“There’s only one. And it’s slightly damp.”
“Aha.”
As I handed over the towel, I tried to sneak a glance inside the bathroom, but she promptly shut the door.
“Phew, can’t be helped.”
If soone showers at another’s place, they should pay the owner, right?
Intending to teach her a lesson, I took away the change of clothes and underwear left in front of the bathroom door.
‘Oh, black panties.’
A nostalgic item, isn’t it?
When I placed her clothes on the bed and the door opened again, Yu Arin let out an embarrassed gasp.
“Where are my clothes?”
The girl who poked her head out saw her clothes on my bed and gritted her teeth.
“You bastard…”
“Suddenly coming to soone else’s house and asking for this and that is troubleso.”
“Give it here.”
“Shouldn’t it be ‘please give it here’?”
“You jerk, please give it here.”
“Oh, look at that long tongue. Additional master.”
“……”
It felt like I could hear her gritting her teeth.
In the end.
“Hoo, hoo-oo!”
Yu Arin ca out, covering her chest with one towel and the space between her legs with another.
Her face was flushed red with embarrassnt.
“You bastard. Do you think I’ll surrender?”
She hesitantly ca out to get her clothes.
It was a nice sight.
I just watched quietly as she passed by.
“It’s a fake, you jerk!”
Suddenly, she threw the two towels at my face.
By the ti I hurriedly removed the towel, Yu Arin was already gathering her clothes and heading into the bathroom.
Having seen her naked back, I felt like I gained sothing.
“If you go out wearing that, you’re dead!”
As I was thinking I should escape from her warning.
Bang.
The front door swung open again, and soone ca in.
“Woojin! It’s a disaster, a disaster! They don’t call the ‘sex god’ on the Bamboo Forest anymore!”
Seo Yerin ca rushing in, looking distraught.
She bumped into as I was about to leave.
Thanks to that, I fell backward and got pinned down.
“Woojin-ahhh! What do I DOOOO! Now everyone calls a concept freak!”
“Well, you are one, aren’t you?”
Seo Yerin clung to , rubbing against , asking for help.
I push her aside to separate her.
I need to escape soon because Yu Arin will co out and beat .
“Is anyone there?”
Again, again.
Soone ca looking for outside the door.
It’s not usually like this, is today so special day?
The door isn’t locked, but I open it abruptly with annoyance.
“Ah, who is it?!”
From here.
Go back to the beginning.
As we live, there are tis when unexpected situations unfold.
At that ti, our lives demand us to respond to variables as if testing us as individuals.
Right now was exactly like that.

That’s why today was a strange day.
“…Mom?”
The mont I saw my mom standing outside the door, my mind froze unconsciously.
“Son, I thought it was a doghouse!”
She laughed heartily, saying it’s a joke only the rich can make.
