Bamboo Forest Manager - Chapter 368
Hangover Soup
“Hey, hey. Do something about that.”
“Ah, please. Don’t touch me.”
Yoo Arin tried to stop Choi Iseo by nudging her with her foot, but.
Choi Iseo, who drank so much yesterday, was in a terrible state.
I’ve never seen her sprawled out like this before.
How much did she drink to get this wrecked?
‘How did she even get here?’
Anyway, it seems like we can’t expect anything from Choi Iseo.
We should at least praise her for making it this far.
“Shall we go eat some soup later?”
“Order, order delivery.”
“This is really a mess.”
She can’t even go outside, so she wants to order delivery. Is this really Choi Iseo?
Anyway, the problem is Seo Yerin.
She’s still clinging to me and won’t let go, what should I do?
“Yerin, let go a bit.”
“……”
“You need to wash up.”
“……”
“Are you really going to be like this?”
“……”
Seo Yerin, who clung to me with her lips tightly shut. If she would just say what she wants, I would listen.
Unable to bear it any longer, Yoo Ah-rin finally intervenes.
“Hey, Seo Ye-rin. Are you going to act like this? Why are you behaving like a child? Act sensibly.”
“……”
“Wow? Look at that expression?!”
Since she’s behind me, I can’t see her face, but it must be quite rebellious.
“Your expression is really annoying. Fix it.”
“……”
“You brat!”
An enraged Yoo Ah-rin lunges forward, but Seo Ye-rin uses her arm to block her with me.
“Woo-jin’s shield.”
“Move, you jerk!”
“I want to move too!”
“Hey! Fix your expression! Geez! Deflate your cheeks, you brat!”
What kind of expression is she making to cause this reaction? Now I’m curious.
“What kind of expression is it?”
“A really infuriating one!”
“Show me too.”
“Wait a moment.”
Yoo Ah-rin takes out her phone from her pocket and snaps a photo.
“……Aren’t you going to return your expression to normal?”
“……”
“Wow, look at her pretending to be pretty as soon as the camera is pointed at her!”
This is a real mess.
Anyway, it’s clear that Seo Ye-rin has no intention of letting go.
“Ye-rin, it was your father who told I-seo to marry Woo-jin.”
“……”
“Hmm? What did your father say to Choi I-seo?”
Come to think of it, Yoo Ah-rin probably didn’t hear what was said.
I didn’t think it was necessary to mention it, but Seo Ye-rin spoke up again.
“He told I-seo to marry Woo-jin.”
“……Is it real?”
With surprised eyes, they looked back and forth between me and Choi Iseo.
“I heard about it yesterday too. I don’t know.”
As I shrugged my shoulders and took a step back, their gaze fixed on Choi Iseo.
With a look that seemed to question if it was really true, Choi Iseo sighed deeply and answered.
“Before we went to Hawaii, remember when we went to the department store?”
The moment I heard that, I had a feeling.
Thinking back, it was then that the eldest brother asked if he could get Choi Iseo’s number.
“He suddenly called me and told me. The reason I didn’t tell you guys is because it’s not important.”
“Not important?”
Yoo Arin looked down at Choi Iseo with her arms crossed.
In a situation that seemed uncomfortable in many ways, Choi Iseo barely managed to gather herself and sat down.
“What’s the point of hearing that from father? Anyway, it’s Kim Woojin who makes the choice. So I told him it doesn’t matter.”
It was a very Choi Iseo-like answer.
Thinking about how she must have given father a hard time, I felt a strange sense of relief.
“……”
“……”
The atmosphere between the other two wasn’t very good.
“Something feels off.”
A brief silence.
Then, Yoo Arin tilted her head and complained.
“It feels like we lost?”
“I agree.”
Seo Yerin mumbled with her face buried in my back.
I wondered what the problem was, but Yoo Arin calmly explained.
“How should I put it? We were shaken by what we heard, but Choi Iseo just brushed it off like it was nothing. It feels like we lost.”
“Lost what?”
Choi Iseo sighed and told us not to think strange thoughts.
“Don’t act like you’re the legitimate wife!”
Seo Yerin shouted as she hugged me tightly.
“Ugh! Hey, Yerina! My gut’s gonna burst!”
My organs are gonna get squashed.
I get that you’re pissed about something, but what’s the point of taking it out on me?
‘Seriously, Dad.’
Anyways, Dad’s the problem.
My feelings about Dad have been changing a bit lately, but this is just unfair, isn’t it?
Seo Yerina, clinging to me with her arms and legs.
I was trying to gently pry her off, about to start using some strength.
*Slap*
Right in front of me, Yoo Arin was plastered.
“……”
“……”
Close enough to feel each other’s breath.
Not understanding what was happening, I cautiously asked,
“What are you doing.”
“……”
“What are you doing, I said.”
I think I had a similar experience last time we were playing in the ocean in Hawaii.
With a ‘no way’ feeling, I tried to peel Yoo Arin off, but she quickly wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tight.
“Ugh!”
Being squeezed from both sides was honestly kinda exciting for a guy but.
Right now, it was just plain suffocating.
“H-hey! Get off! Why are you doing this too!”
“……”
“……”
They’re both just clinging, not saying a word, and it’s seriously driving me crazy now.
“Choi Yiseo! Get these kids off me! I’m seriously suffocating!”
“Ugh, let me lie down a little longer.”
How much did she drink to still be this out of it.
“Whoa!”
Yua-rin barged in so violently that I was pushed back. Normally, I’d have fallen onto the bed, but Seo Ye-rin was behind me, so I naturally squashed her instead.
“aaah! My boobs are gonna turn into mochi! I’m not wearing a bra! Get off me, Uji-na!”
“I wanna, too! Yua-rin’s not getting off!”
“Arin-aaa! Unlike you, mine’ll get crushed if I’m pinned down like this!”
“You b*tch?!”
Honestly, there’s a bit of a difference between my chest in the front and hers in the back.
I kept quiet about it, mouth shut, when Yua-rin, who was hitting Seo Ye-rin, suddenly glared at me.
“……”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“What am I supposed to say?”
“Quick, tell her that chest size isn’t about winning or losing but about preferences!”
“aaah!?”
Yua-rin suddenly bit my neck.
“You crazy b*tch! Why’d you bite my neck all of a sudden!”
“It’s your fault! It’s because you made Seo Ye-rin’s boobs so big!”
“You, you know how much I – aaah! Why are your canines so sharp!”
“Boobs areeee! Gonna be soft mochi!”
“Ah, guys. I don’t feel good, can you please keep it down?”
* * *
After a long while of yelling and fighting while tangled together, we were finally kicked out of the dorms.
“Ugh, I’m gonna die.”
Choi I-seo, still feeling sick, was walking with Yua-rin and Seo Ye-rin supporting her.
“Yerin, should we throw this b*tch in the trash can over there?”
“Wouldn’t Father change his mind if he saw a picture of Choi I-seo in the trash can because of her hangover?”
“You’re gonna die, you guys.”
The three of them bickering as they walked looked both funny and cute.
“How much did you have to drink to end up like this? Choi I-seo, always pretending to be innocent, but she’s the wildest.”
“Wild? What are you talking about?”
“I-seo’s kinda pervy though. She told me she was thinking about getting a Brazilian wax the other day.”
What?!
Brazilian wax?
“No, I’m just saying it’s about being clean, it was just a thought. Why is that perverted?”
Choi Yiseo, protesting, sounding wronged.
Then she locked eyes with me, and her face crumpled in disgust.
“I’m not gonna get one, look forward.”
“……Really, you’re not?”
“Someone, someone just hit her once.”
Choi Yiseo swung her arm to hit me, but she couldn’t do anything more because she was feeling sick.
“Guess the b*tch is Choi Yiseo, as always.”
“Are we just s*x toys? That’s what it was, wasn’t it.”
“Don’t say weird shit.”
We’d long crossed the line to the point where a line wasn’t even visible anymore with our teasing, and we arrived at a hangover soup place.
It’s near Choi Yiseo’s place, and she said we often eat here after drinking, so I brought her here.
But.
“Ugh.”
“……”
“Huh?”
Entering the restaurant, I saw the three of them right away.
Oh Yoonji, senior Juhee, and Choi Jina.
The three of them were eating hangover soup, and they made eye contact with us.
‘Why are the three of them here together.’
While I was wondering, Choi Yiseo explained, like she’d forgotten something.
“Oh, they all slept over at my place last night.”
And then they’d come to eat hangover soup near Choi Yiseo’s place, and we ran into them.
“Ahem.”
An awkward atmosphere settled in.
I, being at the very front, greeted them first.
“Hello, seniors.”
“Y-yeah. Hi, Woo-jin.”
The senior quickly turned her head, trying to hide her expression. The conversations we had last night among ourselves suddenly flashed through my mind.
From noble mtl dot com
“Why don’t you greet me?”
Oh Yoon-ji, with a face that looked like she was dying, asked bluntly, so I flicked her forehead.
“Ow?!”
“Do you know how much trouble you caused me yesterday?”
“It hurts.”
“Because of you, everyone else felt awkward too.”
The three people who came with me sat down next to me.
Choi I-seo had already collapsed with her forehead on the table, Seo Ye-rin was glaring at this table in a boxing stance, and Yoo Ah-rin was scolding Seo Ye-rin for what she was doing.
“What do you mean, swayed? Don’t you know ‘truth comes out when drunk’? You were drunk yesterday, so you spoke your mind.”
“Pfft?!”
Senior Joo-hee, who was holding a spoon, was startled.
“Wait a minute. I’m really not. Yesterday, you know. I was just… just drunk and said anything.”
Senior tried to cover it up somehow, but Oh Yoon-ji’s fiery personality didn’t back down.
“Senior, be honest! I remember everything you said yesterday! You said you couldn’t sleep at night!”
“Yoon-ji?!”
“You need to know? Do you know how much that jerk has messed us up?”
“Yoon-ji!”
“…….”
What kind of conversation is this?
While I was too bewildered to say anything.
“Boss, please add one more bowl of rice.”
Choi Jin-ah, who was sitting in the corner, ordered another bowl of rice.
