After finishing the al and even having coffee in caf,
Kim Woojin had gone off to the PC room, while Seo Yerin and Choi Yiseo were still in the caf, continuing their conversation.
They werent particularly close, but neither of them lacked social skills.
Especially Seo Yerins lively and friendly manner of speaking appealed to Choi Yiseo, who was very decisive with her personal interactions.
Woojin is really sothing else.
Woojin.
Seeing Seo Yerin address him casually, Choi Yiseo gave a slight smile and a nod.
Really, to pass up the chance to have coffee with you and rush off to a PC room.
Uh? Ah? N-no that isnt what I ant.
Despite saying that, Seo Yerin was well aware of her good looks and the effect she had on people.
And yet, she was a modest person.
Hes a nice guy.
Watching Seo Yerin fumble awkwardly with her mug at her lips, Choi Yiseo responded jokingly.
Its not sothing I just said either.
Yes.
Even her slightly annoyed look was cute. Choi Yiseo had her own brand of confidence but it was of a different vibe from Seo Yerin.
She found herself envious of the warm atmosphere.
Oh wow! Yiseo, can you tell a bit more about physical training? What should I expect if I go?
Youre interested in it? Are you planning to take a Body profile?
I dont know about Body profile, but I do want to try it out. Ive been feeling a little insecure about my body recently.
Hm?
Insecure?
What did she an by that?
A body which anyone would think of as being well-managed, with everything in the right place. Actually, it was even surprising that she could maintain her body like this without properly working out.
Sobody said that I dont look that good.
What! Who said that? Wasnt it just sothing they said without much thought? Does that even make any sense?
Choi Yiseo, who was getting angry as if it was her own business. Not only did she dislike that soone had casually uttered denigrating comnts about another persons body, but among those, the fact that they insulted Seo Yerin felt like it was just soone looking for an excuse to bad-mouth her.
Haha. It was just sothing they said without thinking. That person did say it wasnt true later. I might be worrying unnecessarily.
Haa, seriously, there are so many weird people going about these days.
Sighing, Choi Yiseo shook her head.
While it was surprising that soone said such words to Seo Yerin, it also made her realize that even this girl couldnt avoid being bad-mouthed by soone.
Just ignore what they say. Its obvious that theyre just jealous. But if you really want to have a proper PT (physical training) session, I can talk to the trainer for you. They teach in a very systematic manner.
These two were becoming friends naturally.
Ahh, did I make the schedule with my feet or sothing
It felt like soone had drilled through my chest after finally being done with the Tuesday schedule which had lectures for five straight hours.
The 9 a.m. class ended at 12 noon, and I had no more classes until 5 p.m..
Even accounting for my compromised state when I was enrolling for classes due to the breakup with my ex-girlfriend, Oh Yoon-ji, I still wanted to go back in ti and give my past self a good punch to the face.
I spent ti playing gas in the PC room or managing the Bamboo Forest community but I hated being stuck at the University for five hours.
I shouldve gone back to my studio apartnt to get so sleep.
Thinking that would have been a better option, I began to think about what to have for dinner by watching the sunset.
On the way ho.
There was a stream and the walking path there was well-maintained, so I saw a lot of people jogging.
Maybe I should try working out too.
Co to think of it, its been a while since I last exercised. Blaming it on managing the Bamboo Forest community feels like an excuse when working out only takes an hour or two a day.
Shh, since I thought of it, why not just try it?
I took my phone out to see if I could buy so decent running shoes first. Everything starts with the right equipnt, right?
And yet, my finger, out of habit, went for the Bamboo Forest app instead. I checked it so often that I opened it unconsciously.
Most of the posts on Bamboo Forest were more or less the sa.
-Anonymous70: Did anyone leave their wallet in the Nursing Room 110 today? I left it at the student council office so you can go pick it up there.
-Anonymous46: Anyone up for hanging out just for today? If we hit it off, a one-night stand can happen too.
-Anonymous66: ! ! !
-Anonymous34: How about going to karaoke and then having a drink? It is on tonight.
-Anonymous69: Is sex an option?
-Anonymous46: I am a guy.
-Anonymous66: Fuck.
-Anonymous34: Fuck
-Anonymous69: Fuck dont post that stuff bastard.
-Anonymous46: Then why dont we all grab a drink then, bros?
-Anonymous12: I am hungry, any dinner suggestions?
-Anonymous69: I just want to have sex so bad!
Although various posts were made, since there werent many people at this ti, not many responses ca.
Of course, there was a bit of commotion generated by posts from attention seekers, with guys flocking to it as if in solidarity.
But more than that, there was one na which caught my eye.
Shes back again.
Anonymous69.
I figured theyd post again once the ban was lifted.
But isnt it ridiculous to see her pretending to be a guy, subtly fitting in with the n. Doesnt she have friends to eat dinner with or prepare to go out for drinks?
If it was Seo Yerin, the n would probably be texting her asking her out for drinks every day.
Well, it doesnt seem like any special managent is needed.
Its a fundantally laissez-faire bulletin board.
Those kinds of posts just get passed by with a so what attitude.
Now, returning to the search on buying new running shoes. In that brief mont, the screen lit up, and I glanced to see this familiar face run towards .
Not the purple hoodie she had on today, but Choi Yiseo was in a blue jersey which clung tight to her body.
This certainly matched with her navy color bob, but I couldnt help but wonder why she was always in workout attire every ti we t.
It seed like she was jogging with her earphones in.
How botherso.
I just pretended not to see her and lowered my gaze back to the screen and Choi Yiseo didnt bother stopping to speak either, she just jogged by.
Hey.
Was what I thought.
Surely she had passed , but a few seconds later, she called out to . I turned my head to see her with hands on her hips and a subtle look on her face.
Why didnt you bother saying hi?
You didnt say hi either.
Choi Yiseo took her earphones out and retorted.
I thought you would do it.
And I thought you would do it.
Our conversation ran in parallels.
Whatever the case, it was true that neither greeted each other. Finally, she gave up and said,
Hello.
Right, hello.
Is the lecture over now? You must have taken quite a lot today?
Just two.
You were with at the 9 a.m. lecture.
And I have another at 5 p.m..
Huh.
Though she seed to be holding back, I could see the corners of her lip turn up slightly.
Wow, must be nice. With such a long break, you can just relax before you go.
Why are you rubbing salt in my wounds?
Why would anyone call this a consolation?
Good luck with your workout.
I sigh, waving my hand. It seed like she noticed the running shoes I was looking at on my phone screen.
Are you buying running shoes?
Choi Yiseo casually asked.
I frowned and said,
Dont you need to exercise?
That was the finish line.
Im considering buying them.
She said she intended to run only till here. So what more can I say? I just vaguely answered her and she imdiately checked the watch on her wrist.
Have you eaten?
This was unexpected.
No.
Then lets have dinner together. Ill recomnd a good place for running shoes. Did you do sports back in the day?
No
Well, theres a brand thats good for beginners.
Honestly.
Now its getting to a point where I was turning suspicious. The Choi Yiseo I saw from one step behind gets along with people but was rather selective with them.
Did sothing happen with Yoon-ji last sester?
She said Yoon-ji is her friend from high school.
The covnersations we had during the lecture today ca to mind, I got this odd feeling but then the thought that her friendliness is simply because she thought well of as a person ca up.
it is making curious for so reason.
Im not the type of person who can contain my curiosity, and I especially want to know what kind of relationship exists between Oh Yoon-ji and Choi Yiseo.
I extended my fist to her.
Uh?
She looked taken aback, so I responded nonchalantly.
Were having dinner right? Rock-paper-scissors.
As realization dawned that this is how were going to decide the nu,
Phew.
Choi Yiseos expression turned serious.
The cheese pork cutlet here is really tasty.
Shut up.
Choi Yiseo, who was looking at the pork cutlet restaurants nu across from , glared at in annoyance.
Ahh, all the exercise I did today will be going to waste.
With just todays effort, its not like youll achieve what you want.
This is annoying. I really thought you would throw a rock this ti.
I dont think about all that when I throw sothing.
Sighing at my response, Cho Yiseo began to rummage through the nu and it seed like she was surprised with the variety it presented.
Theres chicken drizzled in oil. Maybe Ill have that instead.
Its a fried chicken but its served with veggies like lettuce and onions, all mixed in soy sauce seasoning.
Honestly, I think of it as a more luxurious salad.
Ill have to go for the cheese pork cutlet set.
Lunch was spicy stir-fried pork, and dinner was pork cutlet.
It really is a day of feasting.
Confident that I could eat like this tomorrow too, I placed the order with the server and went to get so water.
Like most houses near college areas, it was often self-service for water and side dishes. Its a trade-off for reduced prices and so level of service.
When I brought water, Choi Yiseo pressed her phone to my face.
It was an online shopping mall displaying a range of shoes.
Choose from these. Since you said you dont care about the brand, let know what design you prefer.
Youre a lot more serious than I thought.
Could it be that shes trying to make her exercise partner or sothing?
I heard that people who worked out usually prefer doing it with soone else.
With an unsure attitude, I lazily scrolled through the screen when,
Yiseo?
A puzzled voice was directed at our table.
I had a feeling that this happened before. It was at the caf last ti and I was also with her then.
Ahn Hyeon-ho?
Before I knew it, Ahn Hyeon-ho from the English Language and Literature Departnt was standing in front of our table.
He was frowning, looking back and forth between and her.
What are you guys doing here?
Uh? Well.
Choi Yiseo started to respond to the mans sharp tone, but I interrupted, resting my chin on my hand.
Eating.
What else would we be doing here if not eating?
Ahn Hyeon-ho glared at , clearly dissatisfied with my indifferent tone.
