I wondered where the second round would be, and it turned out to be a small, cozy pub.
There were hardly any people, and the atmosphere was calm; not bad.
However, the excitement of the English department students inside could be heard even from outside.
“I don’t want to go in.”
Honestly, isn’t it obvious what kind of looks and comments I’ll receive if I go inside?
It’s not common for the three of us to hang out together, and everyone knows I’m usually close with Yu Arin.
They must be excitedly guessing who the third person with me and Yu Arin is.
“I’m glad Seo Yerin isn’t here.”
If she had come and folded her finger, wouldn’t it have been obvious who it was?
Choi Yiseo follows behind senior Ju-hee, who leads the way inside.
“What are you doing, go in.”
As I hesitated at the front, Yu Arin pushed me from behind, forcing me to go inside.
“Are you okay? The others are probably talking about us, chewing us out, and enjoying themselves.”
I wondered if I really needed to go in there, knowing they’d also be talking about Yu Arin.
She replied with a sly grin.
“That’s good. It’s like confirming for those who were unnecessarily hitting on you. Who would make a move on someone involved in a threesome?”
“That’s true…but would anyone even hit on someone like me?”
“What are you talking about, someone who confessed to three people at once?”
“……”
Well, that’s also true.
“I’m surprisingly okay-”
“Ah, just shut up and go in. What’s the problem with people you see at university? They’re all going to part ways after graduation anyway.”
How did she become so bold?
“What kind of growth have you gone through?”
Is this really the same Yu Arin who used to struggle so much because of Pyo Jinho?
Is this really the woman who used to grumble about how awkward it was to avoid Jeong Chan-woo?
Surprised by her bold ideology that doesn’t care a bit about others’ opinions, the girl winks at me.
“To become a chaebol’s wife, you need at least this much guts.”
“I’m only a chaebol by name.”
“So what. I don’t expect you to rake in tons of money. I was just saying.”
“……”
“If worse comes to worst, I’ll just do streaming. I’ve been getting calls ever since the last shorts. Even broadcasters are showing interest.”
“Oh, that.”
It was strange.
It’s understandable for Seo Yerin since she has clearly set her career path in that direction.
But the thought of Yu Arin acting cute and coquettish in front of strangers makes me uneasy.
Could it be because I delved into various depths with gangsters regarding internet broadcasting last time?
Thinking about Yu Arin being exposed to viewers who frequently make sexually harassing or inappropriate comments makes me feel filthy.
“Um, the broadcasting side might not be very good.”
I tried to subtly convey this feeling to Yu Arin without showing it.
“Heh.”
The corners of her mouth stretch into a smile.
“You moron, if you wanted to be possessive, you should’ve confessed only to me, not to the three of us.”
“Ahem.”
“Oh, selfish brat. Anyway, seeing how you want to be shared but not me to be shared, you’re just a kid, a kid.”
Despite her words, the push of her hand urging me into the bar was affectionate, and her voice slightly lifted, indicating she seemed to be in a good mood.
“Then I guess I’ll have to look for work in something else.”
“We’re still sophomores, aren’t we?”
“There are a lot of guys who start preparing from sophomore year.”
As we chatted about this and that and went inside, we saw the English department kids talking at a long table.
“No way, did they really have a threesome? Isn’t it just a lie because Arin backed out?”
“But for that, Arin is pretty close with Kim Woojin, isn’t she?”
“Wow, that’s shocking. Why is everyone growing up without me?”
“What’s with Yiseo? Wasn’t Yiseo the one having a fling? That’s what I heard.”
“That’s why they must have been taken by her. Explain what you mean.”
“If it’s three, who could it be? Besides Arin, who else? Or the other way around, Arin with that…who was it? Maybe with that handsome guy from the Engineering department.”
“Chan-woo? Right. Two guys and Arin, ha-”
“That’s crossing the line.”
As I stared at them with cold eyes, they seemed to feel my gaze and immediately clammed up.
“Ah, you’re here?”
“Welcome!”
They tried to create a welcoming atmosphere, but the conversation abruptly halted, leaving the bar in silence.
‘It’s good that I came.’
Seeing that, I thought it was indeed a good idea to come, just as senior Ju-hee had suggested.
If I hadn’t come, I couldn’t even imagine how the rumors might have been exaggerated.
I didn’t expect they would think the three of us did it with Chan-woo involved.
I thought my image had improved somewhat with the sophomores, but it seems I’ve messed it up again.
As for the juniors, well, they’ve always disliked me, so they’re still gossiping behind my back.
“How can she be so shameless?”
“Who does she think she is… Sigh, those types can’t distinguish between games, anime, and reality.”

“Aren’t the kids just playing along? Borrowing money from their parents and going all out to give them luxury gifts one by one?”
“Wow, I’ve heard about that. Guys who spend money like water to keep a girl and end up borrowing from loan sharks.”
“Exactly, they’re disposable. They’ll probably sell their organs later.”
Wow.
I thought it was like rapid-fire rap.
Watching the disses flow as naturally as breathing made me click my tongue.
“Those fucking bitches.”
Yu Arin, who just sat down, suddenly stands up.
I hold Yu Arin back, who seems ready to charge at any moment.
“Hey, hey. Calm down. Just hold it in.”
At my words, Choi Yiseo and senior Ju-hee look at me with surprised expressions.
“You’re the best at fighting in situations like this.”
“What’s going on, Woojin?”
Yu Arin, held back by me, bites her lip tightly and expresses her annoyance fiercely.
“Are you just going to listen to that crap? Are you kidding me now?”
“Then what, are you going to fight them? It will just ruin your image for no reason.”
“It doesn’t matter what the image is. Honestly…it’s because of me that you’re being criticized right now.”
Is that how she thought about it?
Holding Yu Arin’s hand tightly, who thought it was her fault for making a mistake, I shook my head.
“I have a plan, so it’s okay.”
Anyway, fighting here is meaningless.
I’ve done this kind of thing several times, so I know.
Even if we fight causing a ruckus in front of them, in the end, they’ll say everything they want to and reveal everything they want to.
Last year, when I fought with the seniors, what came back to me were the disgusted looks from the freshmen, wasn’t it?
That’s what rumors are.
“Because you’re enduring, I’m just staying still…”
Senior Ju-hee tilting her head.
Opening and closing her fist which seemed quite threatening.
“……”
Choi Yiseo, also discontented, was glaring intently at the seniors.
“There’s a way to handle everything. Just wait.”
I suddenly stand up and stride over to the seniors.
“What.”
“Why are you glaring.”
“Oh, the stench of a jerk.”
Seniors, both male and female, hurling insults at me right away. They’ve disliked me from the start, so they see this as an opportunity to unleash a torrent of curses.
“Hmm. No, it’s nothing.”
After giving them a once-over, I simply returned to my seat.
When I did nothing and went back, they hurled even more insults with fervor.
On our side, they greeted me with looks of surprise.
“I thought you were going to flip the table.”
“I was worried you might hit them.”
At Yu Arin and Choi Yiseo’s concern, I shook my head with a smile.
“Don’t worry. I have a wife and kid now.”
“Kill that bastard.”
“Seriously, being nice doesn’t last even five minutes.”
The next afternoon.
The Bamboo Forest was in chaos.
- Anonymous46: The world is truly unfair. Some trashy guy is fooling around with girls while confidently enjoying his university life.
The post had an all-too-obvious intention.
I still remembered that Anonymous46 was the number of the English department senior who targeted me at the strife restaurant last time.
As fuel was added, the Bamboo Forest naturally started blazing.
↳ Anonymous83: ? Who?
↳ Anonymous54: Need to bring popcorn.
↳ Anonymous276: This year’s first Bamboo Forest targeting post.
↳ Anonymous46 (Author): OMG
↳ Anonymous175: It’s the English department. Why is there never a quiet day in the English department?
↳ Anonymous88: Mom, even if I’m reborn, I will never join the English department.
↳ Anonymous69: Sex?
↳ Anonymous31: Was it the guy who folded the finger after drinking and having a threesome yesterday?
↳ Anonymous249: Threesome? Damn it, why are you guys doing fun stuff without me?
↳ Anonymous361: Wow, they say things get wild in college, and it’s true.
↳ Anonymous46 (Author): That’s right.
↳ Anonymous408: But why am I…….
↳ Anonymous11: At this point, the English majors should just drop out of school. It’s dizzying now.
↳ Anonymous243: What anime is this? Can you tell me the title?
↳ Anonymous44: Smiling Gahyeon University Threesome Legend-
‘It’s been a while since people have been writing so diligently on Bamboo Forest.’
The speed at which posts are appearing is indeed fast, and the content related to it is no joke.
- Anonymous198: Wow, I’ve never been envious of anyone before, but I’m really envious. Soooo envious!
- Anonymous427: What’s that person’s name? I want to go and learn about dating.
- Anonymous26: Just a total jerk.
- Anonymous7: Anonymous46, what’s your real name?
↳ Anonymous31: Are you the writer of that post?
- Anonymous243: There is no harem in reality, so I turned to anime. But, I was mistaken. An ideal place, it did exist.
↳ Anonymous11: Stop watching anime and live like a decent person, you bastard.
- Anonymous435: I really don’t get it, but what’s the problem? Didn’t they just do it amongst themselves? Why is everyone so interested in others’ private lives?
- Anonymous90: I want to have s*x!
↳ Anonymous309: That one is actually doing it.
- Anonymous402: Some people struggle to get even one boyfriend, while others have sex with two people.
↳ Anonymous315: Isn’t the other one a guy?
↳ Anonymous402 (author): How would I know if they’re male or female?
- Anonymous69: Did you really check the facts properly?
↳ Anonymous44: ?
↳ Anonymous198: ??
↳ Anonymous354: ???
↳ Anonymous90: ??????
↳ Anonymous11: What the hell. Couldn’t you have said it without mentioning sex?
- Anonymous407: Those losers who only rant in anonymous communities are spewing nonsense again. Who believes that? Idiots.
↳ Anonymous113: Here we go again.
↳ Anonymous39: Do not feed.
↳ Anonymous11: Look at yourself saying that in an anonymous community. You’re spitting on your own face.
As I was absentmindedly looking at my phone, I got a message from Yu Arin.
- Yu Arin: You’re seeing that, right? What are you going to do? Wipe it all?
- Kim Woojin: Don’t erase it. Leave it be. I’ll handle it.
Starting with Anonymous46, those kids keep talking trash about me and throwing bait.
As I indifferently watch the various conversations going back and forth.
“You said you were going to study, so why are you doing something else?”
Choi Yiseo, who is sitting across from me, focused on studying, looks at me disapprovingly.
I only agreed to meet because you said you wanted to study.
“Yiseo, can you give me your phone for a moment?”
“My phone?”
Honestly, I thought it would be a bit of a hassle to get it.
Surprisingly, Choi Yiseo hands over the phone without much concern.
“Everything’s fine. Just don’t check the messages. There’s a lot of trash talk about you.”
“…You haven’t deleted the Bamboo Forest app yet?”
I thought I might have to reinstall it.
“Hmm? Oh, I forgot.”
Choi Yiseo focused back on studying without much reaction.
The permanent ban had already been lifted.
I write a post with it.
- Anonymous287: OMG get this. There’s a rumor that he’s the son of a conglomerate chairman. Can you handle this news?
Naturally, the reaction is explosive.
↳ Anonymous11: ? That’s some real-life karma.
↳ Anonymous198: Wow, what to do about that. Will the Bamboo Forest delete it?
↳ Anonymous337: Wasn’t it a threesome agreement between themselves? Why is someone else freaking out?
↳ Anonymous7: ????
↳ Anonymous161: Delete the post quickly. If it gets screenshot, you’re really screwed.
↳ Anonymous245: LOL, wow, this is just so entertaining.
↳ Anonymous417: All the targeting posts have been taken down. Creepy fast.
The targeting posts actually got taken down.
But can we just stand by here?
I return to my phone and leave a message through the 1:1 inquiry.
- Administrator: Hello, Anonymous46. Just now, someone claiming to be the head of the legal team contacted us.
Since it was mentioned through the admin account, you can tell this isn’t something to be ignored.
- Anonymous46: What? The legal team? No way, this quickly?
- Administrator: So, I’m a bit taken aback too. But they said they won’t just let it go. They’re determined to take it to court.
- Anonymous46: But did I say anything to get sued over? This is ridiculous.
- Administrator: I don’t know about that either. But what they’re demanding is-
Informing you carefully, one by one, that your life is screwed.
Isn’t it funny?
Those hiding behind anonymity, spewing whatever they want.
Like ruffians swinging the sword of words without a care.
The moment they hear they must face reality, they start trembling.
‘Anonymity isn’t just a mask to hide behind.’
It’s another face representing oneself.
In the end, it’s still you, so you have to bear the responsibility.
‘It’s necessary to make them understand properly.’
Fighting head-on might just end in a mere incident.
But if you show them the difference in class, they won’t dare to challenge anymore.
Of course, there might be talk about being the dissolute son of a corporate chairman.
But won’t my capable father and brother handle that?
As Dad says.
I’m selfish, after all.
“Are you really not studying?”
“I am. Here, your phone. I changed the wallpaper to me.”
“…I might accidentally break the phone.”
Choi Yiseo accepted it with her lips pout.
She glanced at the wallpaper and forced herself to suppress a smile, then continued studying.
