Chapter 283: School Bus
“Hey, look at this.”
“What is it? What’s the big deal?”
Still at the PC Bang.
I was getting a bit bored with the game and was browsing webtoons when Senior Han-gang called over Pyo Jin-ho, who was sitting next to him, to show him something.
“Whoa, what is this?”
“Sick, right? Look at those lines. It’s insane.”
“That’s crazy.”
They were looking at something weird again.
It was obviously something erotic, but I was the 'Stone Buddha' Woo-jin.
I had made up my mind not to pay attention to that kind of talk anymore.
I could understand Han-gang and Pyo Jin-ho. Neither of them had girlfriends.
But Jeong Chan-woo and Ahn Hyun-ho, who did have girlfriends, were jumping up and heading over to Pyo Jin-ho’s seat.
‘I didn’t think Chan-woo was that type of guy.’
My first impression of him was a cool, handsome guy who didn't talk much. How did he end up becoming so close with these idiots?
‘Come to think of it, the others are the same.’
Han-gang had been hitting on Seo Ye-rin from the start, and we’d gotten into several fights before our relationship soured.
Pyo Jin-ho had already been blacklisted by Yoo Ah-rin before I even met him.
Ahn Hyun-ho?
Back in freshman year, he couldn't break his high school habits and used to pick fights with me for hanging around Choi I-seo.
There was even a time I mistakenly thought Anonymous 287 was Ahn Hyun-ho.
‘Thinking about it like this...’
Everyone had their own history.
I couldn't even remember how I’d ended up becoming friends with them. I recalled all of their first impressions being terrible.
“Wow, that’s no joke.”
“Look how smooth it is.”
“That rear view, man. This is just—”
Seriously, who were they looking at to react like that?
I couldn't stop my butt from hovering off the seat as I tried to get a peek.
Vrrr! Vrrr! Vrrr!
My phone rang at the perfect time.
— Choi I-seo —
“Yeah, hello?”
— What are you doing right now?
“Me? I’m at the PC Bang.”
— By yourself? All of a sudden?
“No, not alone. I’m with the guys.”
— ...Ahn Hyun-ho and the others? You’re surprisingly close with them.
“When you put it like that, it feels weirdly insulting.”
Well, even if I said that, I couldn't really make an excuse since we were getting along.
“Whoa, damn. What is this?”
“Scroll down. You gotta see the side profile.”
“How can a rear end be that sleek?”
— ...Having fun, are we?
Ugh, these bastards.
“No, I’m not looking. They are.”
— Sigh. Whatever. It’s not like it’s the first time you’ve looked at stuff like that. I’ve learned to just let it go.
That also felt a bit strange to hear.
Especially for someone like me, who was trying so hard to become the 'Stone Buddha' Woo-jin.
“Why did you call? You saw the Tok I sent, right?”
— About going to the department store this evening? I saw it. But you really don't have to.
“You should go when I offer. Opportunities like this don't come often.”
I’d set the stage for her to go on a spending spree; it would be foolish not to take it.
Choi I-seo let out a sigh and hesitated.
— Um, by any chance, did your father say anything else to you?
My father?
“Suddenly? Why? He didn't say anything in particular. Did he contact you?”
— No, if he didn't, then never mind. See you this evening.
Click.
The call ended just like that.
Choi I-seo’s reaction was odd, but first, I needed to deal with these idiots.
“Hey! Don't you know you shouldn't look at weird stuff in a PC Bang?”
Even Jeong Chan-woo, a former PC Bang part-timer, seemed totally engrossed, so it must have been something incredible.
Still, as the one holding the 'Guardian of Common Sense' position among the five of us, I needed to put a stop to this firmly.
“What the hell are you talking about, you pervert?”
“Your head is so full of sex that’s all you can think about.”
“Ugh, Dick-head Woo-jin.”
“...What?”
Their sheer audacity actually flustered me. I leaned in to see what it was.
“What? You were looking at a car?”
They were making all that noise about 'rears' and 'curves' while looking at a new car model?
“Then what, did you think we were watching porn here?”
“Since he’s rich, he probably consumes porn in all sorts of ways.”
“This is why it’s a problem when people have too much money.”
Why was I getting cursed out by these guys? I was so dumbfounded I was about to snap back.
But the moment I saw the photo of the Porsche scrolling past the screen, all of that vanished.
“Hey, let me tell you the story of how I got a Porsche as a prize.”
I immediately pivoted to bragging.
* * *
Inside the vehicle heading to the department store.
The driver who picked me up was silently heading toward the next destination: Seo Ye-rin’s house.
“Ugh, I’m tired.”
My body felt stiff after playing games at the PC Bang for the first time in a while.
It was fun, though.
I got to have conversations and play games that I couldn't do with the girls.
The Porsche story, in particular, was very satisfying. We even promised to all take the Porsche to the East Sea later to have some sashimi and soju.
‘Of course, I don't have a license.’
Maybe Han-gang or Pyo Jin-ho would drive?
Insurance for a Porsche must be expensive, so whoever wants to drive can figure it out.
We soon arrived in front of Seo Ye-rin’s house.
‘...What is that?’
Seo Ye-rin was waiting, wearing a bucket hat, sunglasses, and even a mask. She was clad in a faded, oversized tracksuit and carrying a backpack.
“Is that... the person?”
Even the driver seemed flustered as he asked me for confirmation.
“Yes, that’s her. But why is she dressed like that...?”
Screech.
The car stopped in front of Seo Ye-rin.
She glanced around suspiciously before hopping into the car as quickly as a spy.
“Phew! Hello! Hi, Woo-jin!”
Seo Ye-rin greeted the driver and me as she pulled off the stifling mask.
“Why are you dressed like that?”
When I asked in bewilderment, Seo Ye-rin replied with a blank expression.
“Aren't we supposed to not get caught?”
“And that’s why you came out like that?”
“Yeah! It’s our dress code for today!”
Dress code?
Don't tell me the others are all coming out like this too?
Seo Ye-rin lowered her sunglasses slightly and gave a playful smile, shrugging her shoulders.
“Isn't this what they call 'wifely devotion'?”
“...”
“Whoa, but this car is huge. Isn't this the kind of thing celebrities ride in?”
“You are a celebrity.”
“Ah, right.”
But I didn't expect them to pick us up in something like this either. Look at how dark the tint is; you can't see anything from the outside.
The seats were separated like on a bus, but Seo Ye-rin glanced at the driver and whispered softly.
“Can we trust that person?”
“...”
“What if he tries to blackmail you about our relationship?”
“My big brother sent him. He’s someone we can trust.”
“Is that so? If a situation ever arises where you have to sacrifice your body for my sake, just push them away. Got it? I’ll be fine.”
“Isn't that usually my line?”
“Hey, you never know. Like this.”
Even though the car was moving, Seo Ye-rin sat on my lap without a second thought.
Then, she audaciously slid her hand inside my clothes, stroking my stomach and chest as if scanning them.
“He might sexually harass you. Tell you to pay with your body.”
“No one besides you would—ugh?! Hey! Don't pinch!”
“Phew, our Woo-jin. I need to make you more alert. You’re too sexy.”
“What are you talking about? No one else thinks that but you!”
“Shh. The driver might hear.”
I could see the driver intentionally trying not to look this way.
The car was spacious, so if we kept our voices down, he probably wouldn't hear us anyway.
Squeeze.
“I said, why are you pinching there?”
I gritted my teeth and responded to Seo Ye-rin, who had been pinching my nipples for a while now.
She had no intention of stopping; instead, she twisted her body toward me and lightly bit my neck.
“Aww, so cute.”
“St-stop it. I’m the 'Stone Buddha' Woo-jin starting today.”
The blood rushed to my head, making it feel hot.
I squeezed my eyes shut, tilted my head back, and took a deep breath.
I couldn't break the resolution I’d made just one day into it, could I?
“Stone Buddha? Hmm, this part is certainly as hard as a stone.”
Seo Ye-rin moved as if rubbing her butt against me, fondling my lower body.
With a smirk, her ticklish breath moved from my neck to my cheek.
Smooch.
She kissed my cheek, then moved to my ear and lightly nibbled on my earlobe.
“Hmm? What are you going to do if someone suddenly pounces on you like this?”
“I told you, no one else does that!”
The hand inside my shirt didn't stop, continuing to caress me.
It was a lewd, sticky touch, as if she were literally toyed with me.
“Ah.”
With a wet, smacking sound, Seo Ye-rin whispered into my ear with hot breath.
“I want to devour you, Woo-jin.”
Slide!
“...What are you doing?”
The door slid open, and a cold breeze entered the car, cooling my head.
Just like Seo Ye-rin, Yoo Ah-rin was standing there, wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night and a baseball cap pulled low, staring at us blankly.
‘Ah, we’ve arrived.’
Yoo Ah-rin looked back and forth between Seo Ye-rin and me, then crossed her arms and nodded.
“Get off him if you don't want to die.”
But Seo Ye-rin didn't budge.
“Ah-rin, hurry up and get in. Someone might see.”
“Then don't do things that shouldn't be seen from the outside.”
She tried to pull her off, but Seo Ye-rin kept her arms wrapped around my neck and wouldn't let go.
“Nooo! I’m staying like this! I’m not giving Woo-jin to anyone!”
“What is wrong with her?”
Yoo Ah-rin asked me with an exasperated expression. I was the one who wanted to ask that.
Sure, we hadn't seen each other while I was at the main house, but she wasn't this aggressive yesterday.
Yoo Ah-rin sat in the seat next to us.
As the car started moving, she thought for a moment, then clapped her hands and shouted.
“Is it because of Oh Yun-ji?!”
“...”
Seeing her stay silent and cling to me, was that the right answer?
Judging by how her grip tightened, it seemed that was indeed the case.
“What about Yun-ji? What did you guys talk about yesterday?”
“No, it’s just that Oh Yun-ji suddenly told us—”
Yoo Ah-rin, who was about to say something, stopped abruptly. Then she glanced at me with a dissatisfied look.
In that gaze, there was a hint of strange jealousy.
* * *
Choi I-seo opened the door of the large van that had come to pick her up.
Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin had told her to wear a hat and sunglasses, but she hadn't bothered, showing up in her usual clothes.
‘Sunglasses at night is a bit much, no matter how you look at it.’
Wouldn't that actually make her look more suspicious?
Thinking that, Choi I-seo climbed into the car, only to see a sight even more incomprehensible than sunglasses at night.
“...What are you three doing?”
Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin were both piled on top of Kim Woo-jin’s lap.
“I-I’m being crushed to death... the blood isn't flowing to my legs...”
Kim Woo-jin, buried under them, spoke in a dying voice.
But Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin had their arms wrapped around his neck as if they had no intention of letting go.
Seo Ye-rin had her face pressed so tightly against Kim Woo-jin’s that their cheeks were touching, so only the back of her head was visible.
“...”
Yoo Ah-rin, seemingly aware of how embarrassing her actions were, had a face that was clearly turning beet red.
“If you’re that embarrassed, just get down.”
Choi I-seo spoke in disbelief, but the two remained stuck to him, unmoving.
“...Hmm.”
Slowly, Choi I-seo sat down on top of Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin.
“Aaaaaaaagh! Choi I-seooooo!”
A dying scream erupted from the very bottom, but she decided to ignore it.
