Chapter 314: It Was That Much?!
"What on earth happened here?"
"Ugh, I really wanted that salad."
Oh Yun-ji and Choi Jin-ah let out deep sighs as they looked at the food scattered across the floor.
Seo Ye-rin, Yoo Ah-rin, and I were busy cleaning up, while Choi I-seo greeted the newcomers with her arms crossed.
"They spilled all the food, so I just ordered room service."
"Room service again?"
"Sigh, I was craving that salad."
"Stop your damn grumbling."
I muttered a complaint while picking up the spilled food. I knew it was my fault, but I felt like being shamelessly defiant anyway.
Once the mess was cleared, Senior Ju-hee joined us after finishing her phone call.
"To our last night in Hawaii!"
The drinking session began with someone’s lead. We’d been eating room service a lot, but the hotel's food quality was high, so there was no shortage of good snacks to go with the drinks.
"We have to be at the airport before lunch tomorrow, so don't overdo it."
"Ugh, look at her acting like she’s our mother."
"Ahem."
Choi I-seo cleared her throat at Yoo Ah-rin’s sharp remark. Lately, she’d been reacting quite sensitively to the word 'mother.'
I was about to let it slide and enjoy my drink, assuming everyone would pace themselves, when a forgotten issue popped into my head.
"Wait a second, the problem isn't solved yet."
I pulled out my phone and checked the Tok messages still pouring in regarding my profile picture. They ranged from asking why I wasn't replying to demanding to know what I was doing right now.
I wanted to just block them all, but I knew exactly how rumors would spiral out of control if I did that.
"I told you, just do what I said earlier," Choi I-seo answered nonchalantly, sipping her drink.
Was she being vague on purpose so Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin wouldn't hear? The problem was that Yoo Ah-rin had already overheard us earlier.
"Do what? Hey, get over here. Let's take another selfie. Post one with me as your profile pic."
Yoo Ah-rin shoved Seo Ye-rin aside and clung to me. However, Seo Ye-rin leaned in, forcing herself into the camera frame.
"I want to be in it too!"
"Then people will just rumor that he's two-timing!"
"But he is! Technically, he's three-timing! Left leg, right leg, and his dick!"
"Even if it's true, damn it, you don't say that to other people!"
I’d noticed this lately. The girls were starting to subtly accept the fact that I was dating all three of them at once. Before the trip, Yoo Ah-rin had been throwing fits, insisting she wasn't my girlfriend. Now, they were the ones bringing it up.
This is a good change.
My conscience pricked me a little, but regardless, it was good news for me.
"Ugh, what is this?"
I snapped out of my thoughts at Yoo Ah-rin’s grumbling and looked at the screen. She was holding my phone in selfie mode, and the screen was now packed with four faces. Not just Yoo Ah-rin and Seo Ye-rin, but even Choi I-seo had slipped in behind us to join the photo.
Click.
She complained about her arm hurting as she took the shot. Looking at the photo with the three of them surrounding me, I let out a short exclamation and asked, "Should I just use this as my profile pic?"
"Are you insane?"
"Hahaha! Woo-jin, you really are a harem king."
"Sigh... if you post that, I'm dropping out of college."
I wasn't being entirely serious anyway, so I let it slide as a joke. Still, it seemed like a great photo to keep as a memory.
"Hmm."
Yoo Ah-rin was staring intently at my phone. I wondered what she was doing when she glanced at me with a slight frown and asked, "Hey, can I look through your phone?"
"Why?"
"Just... I want to see if you have anything weird on here."
Anything weird?
"What, are you going to manage my phone now because you're my girlfriend?"
"Nooo, I'm just curious."
It was funny, but seeing her act so hesitant and cautious made her look unexpectedly cute.
"Go ahead. I have nothing to be ashamed of."
"Really?"
"Yeah, sure. I don't care."
I even moved aside to give her space, and Seo Ye-rin and Choi I-seo joined her on either side.
"How can he be so confident?"
"There's no way Woo-jin doesn't have something weird on there."
How do they even view me?
I moved over to sit next to Senior Ju-hee, who flinched slightly as she handed me a drink.
"Here... drink this."
"Ahem, thank you."
Things had been a bit awkward since we spent the night together, but it wasn't like we couldn't talk. I figured the awkwardness would fade with time.
"Who have you been talking to so much lately? Was it your siblings?"
"Oh, that—"
"That?"
"The Vice Chairman."
"..."
I shouldn't have asked.
"The Vice Chairman called to say I did a good job. You know, for... making sure no accidents happened."
"Ahem! Cough!"
An awkward atmosphere settled over us. Oh Yun-ji and Choi Jin-ah, sitting opposite us, stared at us before chiming in.
"Well, it's true. You did technically stop it."
"Wow."
"Don't say another word!"
Senior Ju-hee covered her face with both hands in embarrassment. To try and turn it into a joke, I braved my own embarrassment and laughed.
"Senior was just being dedicated to her job. She was like a bodyguard taking a bullet for Ah-rin."
Except it wasn't a bullet; it was semen.
"..."
Senior Ju-hee turned her head and glared at me as if she wanted to tear me apart right then and there. I definitely said the wrong thing.
Fortunately, she didn't pounce on me; instead, she started drinking aggressively as if out of spite. Choi Jin-ah refilled Ju-hee’s empty glass while scolding me.
"You really are something else."
"Oh, it was nothing."
"That wasn't a compliment."
Whatever.
"But are you really okay with them looking through your phone like that?" Oh Yun-ji asked in a low voice after clinking glasses with Senior Ju-hee.
I looked over and saw the girls still huddled around my phone, whispering.
"Yeah, why not? What do I have to hide?"
Even if I was a chaebol, it wasn't like I was using dirty money or pulling strings behind the scenes. If anything, I was living more like a commoner than anyone. I was perfectly confident; there was absolutely no need to hide anything.
"It was the same back when we were together."
I had shown my phone to Oh Yun-ji back then, too. It wasn't that she asked to see it; we were just lying down together looking at my gallery and ended up scrolling through things.
"Don't you remember? I scolded you because you had lewd pics saved. What was that one? The one with seven people?"
"Pfft!"
Choi Jin-ah, who was drinking beer, sprayed it out in shock. Consequently, Senior Ju-hee’s face got covered in it. The two of them headed to the bathroom together.
"Oh, that. I saved it because it was fascinating. I even found the product code later."
"Good grief, forget it. Maybe because he's a chaebol, his standards are just different from normal people."
"What are you talking about?"
We clinked glasses and downed our drinks. I never thought the day would come when I’d be drinking with Yun-ji like this again.
Was she feeling a bit tipsy? Oh Yun-ji asked with a smirk.
"Hey, but you've got great stamina. Doing it two days in a row. And one of those days was with two people at once."
"Are you bringing this up the second Senior Ju-hee leaves?"
"I was curious. You used to struggle when you were with me."
"That's because I work out now. Ye-rin said her dream was to do it for three days and two nights, so I started exercising to make that happen."
"Ye-rin is terrifying. More importantly, you worked out just to have sex?"
"Yeah. I asked my PT trainer what exercises I should do to last longer during sex, and I almost got reported for sexual harassment."
"You should have been."
Oh Yun-ji smacked her lips in mock disappointment.
"Man... seeing the 'cutie' Kim Woo-jin making all these women cry now... it makes this Noona’s heart swell with emotion, you know?"
This time, I poured her a drink and retorted.
"Stop talking bullshit. I still remember. 'It's too big, Woo-jin!' You were crying and screaming."
"Oh, I remember too. 'Yun-ji... how do I put this in?'"
Shit, we were just countering each other now.
"The first time we did it, I thought you had premature ejaculation. You just went 'pop' as soon as you got in."
"I couldn't help it. Someone was crying about how much it hurt while squeezing me tight."
"Oh really?"
"Ha!"
Clink!
The sound of our glasses hitting was a bit violent. We downed the alcohol and continued our battle.
"It should have been me, not Senior Ju-hee! Then I could have taught Ah-rin exactly how to handle you."
"Do you realize that's an outdated strategy? Yun-ji, I guarantee it. If you went at it with me now, you'd die."
"Ooh, look at the tough guy, all grown up. But Woo-jin, you know, right? It's usually the guys who are bad at it that are the most obsessed with women."
"Hey, what do you think I did in my studio apartment after you left? I spent a whole month imagination fapping to you. While you were busy working, I spent a month doing image training of us having sex."
"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face in reality."
"You're the one getting hit, and I'm the one doing the hitting."
We both stood up at the same time. Glaring at each other, Oh Yun-ji suddenly started unbuttoning her top.
"Bring it on, Kim Woo-jin. You're dead today, you bastard."
I immediately started taking off my pants.
"I'll show these girls today that everything you taught me was just theoretical bullshit."
"Kyaaaak!"
"..."
Choi Jin-ah, who had just come out of the bathroom, saw us, screamed, and ran back inside.
"Put them back on."
Senior Ju-hee, who had come out with her, warned us through gritted teeth.
"Ahem."
I quickly pulled my pants back up, and Oh Yun-ji clicked her tongue as she re-buttoned her shirt.
"I was just watching to see how far this prick would go."
"Good grief."
"The battle of the century! My heart is pounding!"
I looked to the side and saw that the other three had put down the phone and were watching us.
You're crazy, Kim Woo-jin.
Seriously, I shouldn't drink. Alcohol is the primary culprit ruining my life.
Yoo Ah-rin tossed my phone back to me. I caught it cleanly, and on the screen was a photo of a woman in a cow cosplay, her face hidden, with her breasts bouncing.
"And you, you bastard. You said you had nothing to be ashamed of? This phone is so full of shameful things there's nowhere left to look."
"Woo-jin... how do you have over six hundred lewd photos...?"
"..."
"What about it? We're adults. We can have some lewd photos. Do you know how many of those get posted on the Bamboo Forest?"
I’d just naturally collected them over time.
"Besides, this one."
I pointed to the photo of the cow cosplay girl on the screen.
"This is Seo Ye-rin."
A sudden silence fell over the room. Everyone’s gaze shifted to Seo Ye-rin, who was hanging her head in embarrassment.
"Holy shit, she was that stacked?!"
It was Yoo Ah-rin who finally let out the delayed cry of pure shock.
