Chapter 50: Moron

Chapter 50: Moron

Thatll be 117,000 won, please.

Uh yes?

Did I hear that correctly?

Just for putting a few pieces of meat in my mouth, this is the amount?

It was an unpleasant situation in many ways.

I had offered to pay, and I should be cool about it, but strangely, my hand began to tremble.

Not to mention, senior Han-kang was accepting my payment with a bright smile.

You seem to be in a good mood.

I try to force a smile, but it doesnt work. However, the reaction seems a bit amusing to him, as he responds with an even more refreshing smile.

Yes, something good happened?

Take care.

I reply curtly and head outside. I dont say it out loud, but it wasnt hard to notice that my crisis seems like good news to senior Han-kang.

It could have been nice for me, close to Seo Yerin, to be mistakenly thought of as dating another girl.

After all, it was true that the atmosphere was unusual.

As we stepped out, Seo Yerin and Choi Yiseo were staring at me.

They seemed to want to say a lot, but the fact that they were hesitant to speak revealed the entire situation.

Woong!

Woong!

Even amidst that, the phone kept ringing; it was Yu Arin trying to contact me, but the situation was so urgent that I forgot to put it on silent.

It looks like youre getting a call?

Seo Yerin subtly gestured towards the phone with her eyes. I wanted to say it was nothing, but now even a call was coming through.

Give me a moment.

Eventually, I moved away slightly and brought the phone to my ear.

-Why are you answering only now!

What is it?

Because of Yu Arin, the situation is a complete mess, and when I finally got a call from her, I couldnt help but give a displeased response.

Yet, despite the reaction, Yu Arin urgently started to explain her situation.

-Did you see the chaos in the Bamboo Forest?!

Ah no. I didnt. You were supposed to manage it.

Perhaps, since it is my first vacation, I was enjoying it a bit.

-Damn it! Check the Bamboo Forest! Please deal with this!

You said it would be easy. It has to be nothing.

-I am sorry! There is this huge fight among the religious clubs! They are even cursing at me, it is no joke!

Ugh!

Since ancient times, oppression of religion has always led to backlash. They must have thought that the Admin deleting the posts was against them.

-Ah, please. Admin, please solve this!

-Boss! Master!

Honestly, I have never thought Yu Arin would feel such responsibility without any benefit to herself.

A normal person would have just ghosted or notified that they couldnt do it.

I should have taught her how to do it.

Feeling guilty for having thrown her into this without any guidance, I was about to say fine.

Woojin, want some coffee?

Choi Yiseo, with her arms crossed and glaring at me, asked as if warning me.

It is a phrase I could hear often, but ever since Yu Arin was mentioned, the atmosphere turned cold.

Uh! Uh! Anything!ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Then Ill go buy with Yerin.

Choi Yiseo left just like that. I finally had some free time, so I was about to manage the Bamboo Forest.

-Was that Yiseo just now? Is Yerin with you too?

It seems Choi Yiseos voice was heard over the phone.

Yes, we just had a meal.

-While someone is having a hard time, someone else had a meal with two ladies?

It wasnt such a great thing, so stop making unnecessary comments.

Because the sympathy I had until now seems like it will evaporate in an instant.

-Really? Yiseos voice didnt sound too good, right? What happened?

Its because of you.

Truthfully.

I spoke out.

It is my fault for not keeping my mouth shut.

But lets just blame it on Yu Arin for now. I shouldnt have given her an unforgettable softness.

-Anonymous75: Where were you? I missed you.

-Anonymous243: Admin, my anime review got deleted too, please restore it.

-Anonymous85: 243, no one wants to look at it.

-Anpnymous165: I just want to give you a peck!

Things got sorted out.

Of course, there were people who came to the 1:1 inquiries, but as soon as I spoke of the rules, they went silent.

What are you doing?

Just bought an iced Americano, okay, right?

Just then, Seo Yerin and Choi Yiseo came back.

Ah, thats nice.

I awkwardly smiled, trying to look pleased as I took the coffee.

Both seemed to have had their own talks, wearing the same look, but I had to wait and see if this was good for me.

Come to think of it.

The situation was more prone to misunderstanding because Yu Arin had set her profile picture of my house last time.

In fact.

Isnt it a misunderstanding that there was something between Yu Arin and me? After all, I did touch her chest.

But why am I getting this flustered.

After talking with Yu Arin and sorting out the Bamboo Forest, I felt calm.

Im not even dating them, so I guess I dont need to be concerned about their opinions.

Seo Yerin and Choi Yiseo cant pry too much either, even if they are curious because of that.

Woojin.

But in the end, Choi Yiseo broke the silence.

Ah, no matter how lonely, isnt it wrong to just do it with anyone?

Her face was red and her eyes were darting around.

Right! Arin isnt a weird one, but still, since you two arent dating or something, that kind of relationship is a bit!

Seo Yerin quickly joined in, adding her piece. Its their way of giving advice between friends who arent dating.

I understand that they are misunderstanding.

Ah, damn.

The fact that she was lying down in my home and I touched her chest was true.

It is fair to say we did something quite similar, except we didnt actually have sex.

But saying it outright wasnt easy.

Guys!

Then, from behind, Yu Arin came running, waving her hand. She had on this big hoodie, and her blonde hair was fluttering as she hurried over.

Arin?

The two were taken aback by her sudden appearance. I just kept my mouth shut, curious to see how Yu Arin would handle the situation.

There was a message on my phone.

-Yu Arin: I am almost there? I will pretend to be interested in you, so you need to put up a strong front.

-Yu Arin: Then, no one will think its weird if you touch me.

-Yu Arin: I am not usually like this. You have been misunderstood because of it and since you helped me out today.

-Yu Arin: Consider this as a special service from your noona.

-Yu Arin: (emoji)

And finally, this cat emoji.

I roughly got the gist of Yu Arins plan.

It seemed like she intended to make me out as some victim.

Hi! Can I take Woojin for a moment?

As soon as Yu Arin openly said she would take me, both of them flinched.

Why?

Choi Yiseo, who had a standoff with Yu Arin, asked coldly with arms crossed.

Because Im going to Woojins house.

She playfully said, pressing her finger to her cheek.

To have sex.

Lets go right now.

For a moment, I thought someone said something.

So I looked around, but there was no one there, and the other three girls were staring at me.

Oh my, shit.

Only then did I realize I was the one who said lets go right now.

Shhh.

Even as I pressed around my mouth with a finger, pondering for a moment.

Youre a moron.

Unable to make excuses to Yu Arin, who was looking at me with eyes filled with disgust.
