In the end, Choi Yiseo couldnt even eat properly with Kim Woojin and returned ho.
Claiming she forgot about her dinner plans with Minji, Choi Yiseos heart was full of confusion.
Why did Kim Woojin have a half-naked photo of Seo Yerin?
No matter how much she thought about it, Choi Yiseo couldnt find an answer and was left to her thoughts.
Sigh
As she sighed and trudged inside, a spicy scent hit her nose.
It turned out that Minji was in the living room, eating the spicy rice cakes that she had ordered.
Uh? Didnt you say you were going out for dinner after working out?
It seed like she had co back from the full-service hours which she had volunteered for the day and was now having this.
Minji.
Having recently nded her ties with Minji, Choi Yiseo felt she might be able to share her worries.
And thus,
sitting across from each other, forgetting all about the exercise they had done today and eating the spicy rice cakes, Choi Yiseo shared her concerns.
It was a situation Choi Yiseo, with her own common sense, simply couldnt understand, so she felt she needed so help, even if it was the paw of a cat that she had to hold.
What!?
Naturally, Minji couldnt help but be shocked.
N-no. You an there was this half-naked photo of the goddess of your departnt on Kim Woojins phone?!
For a mont, she wondered if sharing this was a mistake because Minji had a history of spreading strange rumors about Kim Woojin.
But, Minji, who noticed her worry, quickly waved her hand.
Im not crazy! To begin with, it doesnt seem likely that Kim Woojin would do sothing that weird.
Thats what Im saying.
Even she couldnt believe that Kim Woojin had those photos with so bad intentions.
Lets think about it now. Is that really the photo of your departnts goddess? It might not be.
The moles, the body shape, and even the underwear were the sa.
Sigh.
If Choi Yiseo is this determined, then it must be correct. Minji scratched her head and popped a spicy rice cake into her mouth.
As she chewed on it, she pondered.
Could it be that theyre just dating? Perhaps its a secret relationship, and thats why theyre keeping it under wraps.
Could it be?
Choi Yiseo also found that to be the most plausible explanation, but for so reason, she hoped it wasnt true.
If shes a goddess, shed be popular among the boys, right?
Yes.
Seo Yerins popularity extended beyond her departnt; it encompassed all departnts at the university.
Rumors suggested that she had even received offers from major entertainnt companies during high school, and even now, as she strolled around, she was handed business cards and ns phone numbers.
Given her popularity, it made sense that soone might want to continue dating her in secret.
But why?
This scenario didnt seem to fit.
After all, Kim Woojin spent much more ti with her than with Seo Yerin.
What kind of girlfriend would be okay with her boyfriend frequently hanging out with another girl?
Especially considering they had even fallen asleep together in the sauna.
Furthermore.
I-Im pretty fine too.
She knew it might be a stretch to think of herself that way, but she believed that she, too, could be counted among the beautiful won.
How could any woman overlook seeing such a woman constantly by her boyfriends side?
Haa, it doesnt seem like theyre dating.
Really?
At Choi Yiseos words, Minji began to consider a different angle. Given Kim Woojins personality, the situation didnt seem dire.
The reason for possessing a half-naked photo of a beauty from the sa departnt
Then, maybe, you know.
Maybe?
Minji hesitated montarily, wondering if she was correct, and sneakily glanced at Choi Yiseo.
She had reached a conclusion but wasnt sure if it was appropriate to voice it.
Why? What is it now?
But with her friends encouragent, Minji tightened her fist as if she had made a decision and inquired.
Before that, I have one question, Yiseo.
Uh?
Minjis serious deanor made Choi Yiseo slightly anxious, and she nodded slightly.
Do you like Kim Woojin?
When Minji asked bluntly, Choi Yiseo was taken aback and waved her hands.
M-? Like Woojin? Not at all!
Really?
Why are you suddenly asking that?
If its not that, then there seems to be no need for you to worry about Kim Woojin having a half-naked photo of a goddess.
It wasnt an incorrect statent.
Instead, Choi Yiseo began to question why she had been worrying until now.
R-right.
Hanging out with Kim Woojin was enjoyable and comfortable, but if asked whether she felt any romance, the answer was no.
And yet
Observing Choi Yiseo confronting her emotions directly and becoming confused, Minji stroked her chin.
Well, if she were to give the answer she was thinking of
In my opinion, the two of them are.
The two of them are?
As Choi Yiseo gulped and focused on Minji, who confidently stated.
Friends with benefits.
Haa.
The arrival of autumn at Gahyeon University ant several things. It also ant that midterms were slowly approaching, so everyone was studying hard.
Naturally, the atmosphere carried on in the Bamboo Forest.

-Anonymous11: Seriously, stop stealing the Airpods now. I need them during exam tis.
Conversations related to exams were naturally occurring, but it wasnt just about exams.
-Anonymous233: I wish the Gahyeon University Festival would co sooner. I am surviving exams just to see it.
The Gahyeon University Festival.
In other words, the college fest.
Although festivals are usually held in mid-May, Gahyeon University deliberately chooses this ti for theirs.
I heard its scheduled like this to avoid overlapping with nearby universities.
Anyway.
Since the midterms are done, the atmosphere on the board wasnt too hostile.
Well, if were talking about hostility
Choi Yiseo, who is glaring at right now, is the most hostile.
Yiseo, whats wrong?
It was lunchti on Tuesday.
Choi Yiseo and I had overlapping lectures, so we went to eat pork bulgogi for the first ti in a while.
Seo Yerin, who was sitting next to , whispered and asked, but all I could do was naturally respond that I didnt know.
I dont know, its been like that since last Friday.
Ever since coming back from the gym last Friday, without even eating dinner and just leaving, its been like this continuously.
Especially now, getting together with Seo Yerin, the glares were even sharper.
Is it because of the spicy pork?
Sorry, but I won that rock-paper-scissors.
Since you chose spicy pork, a little more consideration would have been nice.
Are you suddenly not a fan of spicy pork?
I stood my ground firmly, and Seo Yerins reaction seed incredulous, but given the events since Friday, spicy pork shouldnt be the main concern.
Sigh, Im not sure.
Anyway, trying to change the subject, I turned to Choi Yiseo.
Whats the plan for the festival? I heard each departnt is organizing sothing.
I heard that current students are almost obligated to participate. I thought Choi Yiseo, as the departnt representative, might have so insights.
We havent decided yet. Maybe sothing like a street pub?
Its sowhat reassuring that shes responding diligently despite her grumbling.
After all, everyone does sothing similar. Its not like were in a Japanese ani.
In Japanese ani, they have maid cafs, but if that were to happen at a college festival, it would be outdated imdiately, dont you think?
Seo Yerin flinched beside .
Curious about her reaction, she awkwardly picked up so side dishes with her chopsticks and started eating.
Woo-Woojin watches ani too?
Huh? Yes, I watch it often. Its entertaining.
Isnt there a certain charm in ani that cant be found in dramas or movies? Sotis lines that would sound cheesy in real life can be touching in ani.
What are you staring at?
Seo Yerin asked, leaning towards . The mont I saw it, I grasped the situation instantly.
Heh.
Shes keeping her ani-watching habit a secret.
Thats plausible, considering.
Reflecting on it, shes the type to conceal her gaming habits, so its unlikely shed openly admit to watching ani.
Well, here and there. Lately, Ive been watching shows like Demon Slayer.
Thats an interesting one I enjoyed it too.
Choi Yiseo sighed, glancing at Seo Yerin who was muttering to herself.
Phew, hey, co on now. Why are you so embarrassed?
Ah, no. Its not that Im embarrassed.
Are you embarrassed to watch ani? Is watching ani a cri? Are you ashad of being an otaku?
Woo-Woojin!
The eyes of the students here to eat pork suddenly turned to us. Since there were just guys to begin with, they cast sneaky glances at our table, but now they were openly staring.
I cant stand this. To not make you uncomfortable, I will write it in our departnts group chat. Seo Yerin is an otaku.
Ahh!
Seo Yerin quickly snatched my phone and put it on the other side. For a mont, rembering the ti she almost caught as the Admin of the Bamboo Forest.
With a sly grin, she gestured like it was nothing.
Fine, fine. It was a joke.
Haa, seriously.
But honestly, its not sothing to be flustered about. As long as it doesnt harm others. Its fine.
I dont watch ani.
What a load of crap.
After getting my phone back, the pork bulgogi was served just in ti. I was about to eat it, but for so reason.
Choi Yiseo, who was glaring at with a spork tightly gripped in her hand, had a gaze that was razor-sharp.
Wait, what is it?
I really didnt understand, so I asked. But Choi Yiseo just glanced briefly at Seo Yerin and then silently started eating her pork stir-fry.
Thud!
Ah!
That was while she kicked in the shin under the table.
