Chapter 335: Reason for Three-timing
Seo Ye-rin, who had just arrived at the film set, was busy mingling and chatting with the others.
Even as a promising rookie backed by YS Entertainment, she was still a newcomer with less than a year of experience. Through her elegant yet approachable personality and polite manner of speaking, she was leaving a great impression on everyone.
"Oh, really? It’s fine if my schedule gets pushed back a bit. Please do whatever is most convenient for you, Director. I’ll let my manager nuna know."
"I’m truly grateful, Ye-rin. I mean, Actor Shin suddenly said that day would be difficult for them."
"Well, I’m sure they’re very busy. I’m still just a college student, after all."
"Ye-rin, you have such a lovely face, but your personality is even lovelier! You won't forget about me when you make it big later, right?"
"Oh, stop it. You’re the one who shouldn't forget about me, Director."
Age gaps weren't much of an issue in front of Seo Ye-rin. Most men started with a high level of favorability toward a pretty woman, and in the case of women, her beauty was so overwhelming they didn't even think to feel jealous.
Her likability was already high, and it was bolstered by her character and manners.
Seo Ye-rin’s mother had known since her daughter started elementary school that she was pretty—far too pretty. That was why she had raised her accordingly.
To be humble, not arrogant.
And to ensure that Ye-rin, who already started with a good impression due to her looks, could take the lead in social situations.
Ye-rin herself hadn't consciously realized her mother’s teachings, but the lessons naturally flowed out through her actions and words.
‘Woo-jin, my butt hurts.’
Of course, her inner thoughts were a bit different.
The sadistic play they had engaged in yesterday had been quite a turn-on. However, the downside was that Kim Woo-jin had left marks all over her body, and her backside was stained red and stinging.
Of course, Ye-rin accepted even that as a part of his love.
Regardless, pain was pain.
‘I provoked him too much.’
Besides, there was no need to blame him; hadn't she intentionally steered things in that direction herself?
"I can see why YS is pushing Ye-rin so hard."
"I know, right? I think she’s the most innocent-looking person I’ve ever seen in my life."
"I heard her mother manages her so strictly that she’s never even dated a guy at her age."
‘But… Woo-jin is so damn hot when he shows his sadistic side and gets obsessed with me!’
Ye-rin smiled, pretending to be embarrassed as she listened to the people chatter.
"I’ve hardly ever spoken to men, so I get really nervous even in scenes where I have to talk to other actors. I need to get used to simple things like this from now on."
‘Ugh, I want to devour Woo-jin again. Oh, maybe this time I should try acting like the obsessed one.’
She worried for a moment if Kim Woo-jin would get tired of her if she did that, but then...
"Ye-rin is truly amazing. If I had a face like that, I wouldn't be able to be this humble."
"That’s true. She doesn't have an ounce of that 'pretty girl' ego, you know?"
"Look at the other actresses. Comparing them to Ye-rin makes them look so plain. But they’re the ones with the massive egos."
"O-oh, stop it. Why are you saying that? The other actresses are much prettier than me."
‘Why would he get tired of me, Seo Ye-rin, being obsessed with him! I’m just worried Woo-jin’s dick might wither out!’
She felt a sense of satisfaction as she looked forward to their next session.
"Ye-Ye-rin."
A cautious voice called out to her.
The attention of the people around them shifted to the person standing there: Choi Jin-ah, the violinist in charge of the film’s sound effects and BGM.
"Oh, Jin-ah. What brings you here?"
"C-can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Of course!"
Smiling, Seo Ye-rin followed behind Choi Jin-ah.
‘…I’m always so jealous of the childhood friend position.’
In contrast, she had met him in college, and it had all started through the anonymity of the Bamboo Forest.
‘I’ll have to find a way to sugarcoat the story of how we met for our kids later.’
She heard he had even discussed children's names with I-seo.
Why hadn't he suggested naming their kids to her?
Ye-rin grumbled slightly to herself.
"Ye-Ye-rin… could you perhaps show me your wrists?"
"My wrists?"
They were in a corner of the filming set.
Despite Choi Jin-ah’s sudden request, Ye-rin held out her hands without much thought. Choi Jin-ah pulled back her sleeves and checked all the way up to her forearms.
"Ah!"
There were marks left by Kim Woo-jin from yesterday. Ye-rin hurriedly pulled her hands back, realizing she had forgotten about them.
"T-this is—!"
She tried to explain.
But then she wondered if there was even a point in explaining when Choi Jin-ah already knew everything.
"As I thought…"
Choi Jin-ah nodded with a gloomy expression, as if she had realized something.
"Huh? What’s wrong?"
"No, it’s nothing."
"Hmm? You don't look like it’s nothing."
"Ye-rin."
Choi Jin-ah gave Ye-rin a tight, pitying hug. She patted her back and whispered with tears in her eyes.
"Stay strong."
"Huh?"
Ye-rin didn't understand what she meant.
But Choi Jin-ah didn't wait for an answer and left the set immediately.
* * *
"Look at this, everyone’s going crazy saying I’m cute."
"..."
Resting my chin on my hand, I glanced at the phone Yoo Ah-rin held out.
It showed comments on the 'Cheer Up Team' channel, which was run by Yoo Ah-rin and her Taekwondo dojang. Based on the title, it was a vlog-style video of their daily practice.
Since Ah-rin had filmed it herself, the view count was quite high, and the comments were filled with praise for her.
"And?"
When I responded indifferently, Ah-rin’s expression crumpled slightly.
"Aren't you jealous? You usually lose your mind when you see stuff like this."
"Do you really have to say that yourself? Pick a time and place. We’re in the middle of a lecture."
"What the hell. You were so fucking jealous when Choi I-seo went to that department gathering, so why are you being so cold to me?"
"...Are you upset?"
"A little?"
Well, I suppose that’s fair.
She could be upset.
I quietly pulled out my phone and played the video Ah-rin had shown me.
With the sound muted, I checked the comments.
"What, you already watched our video?"
"Of course."
I was subscribed and everything.
I had even hit 'dislike' on all the comments praising Yoo Ah-rin.
"I did all my jealous venting yesterday, so I’ve calmed down now."
I had already gotten as annoyed as I could while watching the video, so I was able to stay composed. For the comments that crossed the line, I had even filed reports with very detailed reasons.
"Whoa. That’s actually kind of touching."
"I literally disliked the comments from your channel's fans, though?"
"Who cares? It’s cute that you’d even do something like that."
I’m glad she liked it.
Ah-rin hummed and smiled, looking pleased.
"I thought maybe you were in post-nut clarity because you went at it so hard with Seo Ye-rin yesterday."
"..."
That wasn't entirely wrong.
But how did she know?
"Choi I-seo told me."
"You guys share stuff like that too?"
"It’s like a rotation. Since Seo Ye-rin had her turn, we have to make sure she doesn't hog you again next time."
"I feel a bit strange. I feel like I’m incredibly popular, but I also feel like a breeding stud being managed."
"Pfft! A breeding stud. Listen to you. That’s hilarious."
"Anyway, so I just shouldn't do it with Seo Ye-rin next time, right?"
"Exactly. She cuts in line so often, and you fall for her temptations way too easily."
"That’s true."
I nodded without denying it. Ah-rin laughed and looked back at her phone, but then...
"...Wait, you bastard."
Sensing something was off, she put her phone down and glared at me.
"What kind of conversation are we even having right now?"
"What?"
"No, I mean, why are we sharing this piece of shit so naturally now?"
She caught on.
"Did this guy give us some kind of drug? Tell me the truth. What did you feed us!"
She grabbed both of my cheeks and pulled them, glaring at me.
"It feels disgusting that I’m accepting that fucked-up conversation so casually!"
"...That’s the power of love."
"Bullshit! You’re not using the power of drugs or something, are you?!"
"We’re in class, Ah-rin."
I tried to calm her down as her voice started to rise. Ah-rin glanced at the professor, then lowered her body and whispered softly.
"No, seriously, I think my common sense has crumbled. What am I going to do? Ugh, Kim Woo-jin is breaking my brain."
"...That’s actually kind of hot."
"You freak."
"I’m joking. And I’m not the weird one; you were weird from the start."
"Whatever."
But this was a bit unfair.
I don't know about Choi I-seo, but Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin were weird from the beginning.
"What kind of woman tells a senior to come inside and check if he’s wearing a condom or not?"
"...I was in heat back then."
"What kind of woman comes to a senior and tells him to let her suck her boyfriend's dick with her?"
"...You said you wouldn't leave me alone. That you were going to ruin me."
Ah-rin slumped down and mumbled.
Damn, she’s kind of cute today.
Why was she so cute?
She was incomparably cuter than the Yoo Ah-rin in the Neutube videos.
This won't do. I have to take her back to my room.
If any other guy saw this, they’d definitely try to kidnap her.
Though the kidnapper would probably get beaten to a pulp.
"I can't leave you like this. Let’s go to my room today."
"This guy gets horny at the most random times."
"I’m not horny. You said it yourself—you wondered if I drugged you. I need to check on that. I’m saying let’s go have a wholesome discussion."
"Wholesome discussion, my ass. You’re just trying to settle things with the only thing you’re confident in—your dick."
Caught again.
"Ah, fuck. Is this what college life is? Going to your boyfriend’s dorm room to just fuck after class?"
"...Probably not."
Regardless.
Ah-rin didn't say no. Should I take that as implicit consent?
Slumped over, Ah-rin stared blankly at the chalkboard for a moment before suddenly snapping her head toward me as if she’d remembered something.
"Wait, I can't today."
"Why? I’m already revved up."
"My underwear doesn't match."
"It’s all coming off anyway, so what does it—"
"Think about the mood! You’re just acting however you want now because you think you can do it whenever you have a spare moment? Am I your onahole?"
Why was she saying such hot things today?
It was frustrating.
"I just imagined uploading a video of me devouring Yoo Ah-rin after posting a 'I'm sorry' apology video on Neutube."
"You psycho, haha."
She seemed to find it funny too, as she laughed and hit my shoulder.
"Then let’s not do it today and just grab dinner. How about it?"
"What are we eating?"
"Pork cutlet or gukbap."
"Are you my dad?"
"Then what do you want to eat?"
"I don't know. Just not pork cutlet or gukbap."
"Stir-fried pork?"
"Ah, I finally understand why Choi I-seo said I shouldn't pick the menu with you."
Ah-rin grumbled.
In the end, I pulled out a Chocomong I had bought before class, poked a straw in it, and put it in her mouth.
Slurp, slurp.
Ah-rin drank it with her eyes closed.
It felt like I was feeding milk to a cat.
"Pork cutlet, deal?"
"Pfft, I want sweet potato cheese pork cutlet."
To think a single Chocomong would solve the problem immediately. She really was a great woman.
After chatting like this for a while, the lecture finally ended.
As we left the classroom together, I looked at my phone and remembered a schedule I had forgotten.
"Oh, right. Let’s stop by the dorm. Jin-ah said she was coming to pick up her suitcase."
"Do whatever you want."
When we arrived at the dormitory building, Choi Jin-ah was standing there, drawing the attention of everyone passing by.
Unlike her usual self, she was dressed in athletic wear.
She had a burning determination as if she were about to head into battle.
As soon as she spotted us, she dashed over.
"C-C-Come here!"
She pulled Ah-rin toward her and hugged her tight.
"Huh? Wh-what!?"
What was going on all of a sudden?
As we stood there bewildered, Choi Jin-ah pointed a finger at me and shouted.
"Now! I know everything now! How you’re dating three people at once!"
"Huh?"
Suddenly?
"Wasn't it because I’m incredibly charming?"
"Fuck no, it wasn't."
Yoo Ah-rin, still held in Choi Jin-ah’s arms, flipped me off and cursed, but it seemed Choi Jin-ah couldn't hear our conversation anymore.
"It was blackmail! You were controlling them through forced blackmail, weren't you?!"
"...Huh?"
What the hell was she talking about?
