Chapter 363: Evidence of Love
“I’m a robber.”
Oh Yun-ji’s bold declaration actually made me shrink back.
Even though I was clearly the victim, her sheer confidence strangely made me feel like I was the one doing something wrong. It felt as if whatever she was doing was only natural.
It reminded me of when we used to date, but I wasn't the same naive guy who would get swept up in that atmosphere anymore.
“What do you mean, robber?! You’re just a crazy bitch!”
I pushed her away again. This was getting dangerous.
“Ah, eating Kim Woo-jin after all this time really brings back memories.”
Yun-ji licked her lips. Then, she shrugged and stepped closer.
“Being the one to steal you away feels pretty fresh, doesn't it?”
“Yun-ji…”
I let out a sigh and smacked my own forehead. It was a self-inflicted reprimand to get my head in the game.
“Please, don’t make me look like a weirdo. Senior Ju-hee and Jin-ah are looking at us strangely from back there.”
The two women, having witnessed a scene they definitely shouldn't have, were frozen like statues. They seemed to be gauging the situation, unsure of how to react.
In times like this, I had to make a clear and firm declaration.
“Oh Yun-ji, I’m telling you clearly. Don’t cross the line.”
“…”
“This really isn't right. It’s true we were lovers once, but we aren't anymore.”
“…”
“I even have people I’m dating now.”
“As many as three?”
“…Yeah, you wench. As many as three.”
I was clearly speaking common sense, so why did I feel like the bad guy?
In fact, the way Senior Ju-hee and Jin-ah were looking at me was ominous. Their eyes seemed to be contemplating which specific trash can they should throw me into.
“Ahem, anyway.”
If this conversation dragged on, I’d be at a disadvantage. Awkwardly, I shifted the topic to regain control.
“We might have loved each other back then, but not anymore. I don’t know about you, but at least for me, it’s clear.”
I knew all too well that being firm was better than being cruel by giving false hope.
“So, Yun-ji, you can’t ever do this again.”
I had made my declaration as clearly as possible. I thought she would have understood by now.
Yun-ji dropped her head, her fists clenched. Her shoulders trembled slightly, making me wonder for a moment if she was crying.
“Woo-jin.”
It wasn't just her shoulders that were trembling. Her voice was slightly thick with moisture. Yun-ji exhaled sharply, pouring out her inner feelings along with her breath.
“I… it’s been really hard without you.”
“…”
“I miss those days when we were together so much.”
“…”
“Really? Is this how it ends for us? No. It can’t be like that.”
“Yun-ji.”
“Woo-jin, please—!”
Yun-ji suddenly lunged into my arms. She fit perfectly against me, like a Lego block snapping into place.
I held her in my embrace and whispered into her ear.
“Stop the act, you bitch.”
“…You son of a bitch, you’re quick.”
Where did she think she was trying to pull that acting on? Just as Yun-ji knew me well, I knew her just as well. That was purely her 'acting' tone.
“Oh, come on! Can’t you just let me have this? The mood was so good just now. The man who has no choice but to give in to his ex-girlfriend’s final request!”
“Shut it. Do you really think I’d fall for that?”
“Stop lying! Tell the truth! You’ve had morning wood since earlier because I’m only wearing underwear, haven't you?”
“Not at all.”
Grab!
Yun-ji boldly reached down and squeezed my lower half. Seeing her act without a shred of hesitation, Senior Ju-hee and Jin-ah let out shocked gasps behind us.
“T-This can’t be…”
Yun-ji looked up at me with eyes full of disbelief. It was the most flustered I had ever seen her. Seeing her this confused for the first time felt like I’d landed a solid blow, and it was incredibly satisfying.
“Hahaha! Yun-ji, I’m a man of pure love. My lower half doesn't react unless it’s for someone I love.”
“…Isn't it a bit weird for Woo-jin to use the term ‘pure love’?”
“Leave him be. He must have three lives or something.”
I heard Senior Ju-hee and Jin-ah whispering behind Yun-ji, but I just pretended not to hear. It’s best to ignore things that aren't in your favor.
Fortunately, Yun-ji was too confused to hear them.
“See, Yun-ji? No matter how much you fiddle with it, my lower half won’t react. This is the power of my love for the girls.”
“No, that’s impossible. The Kim Woo-jin I know is—!”
Yun-ji stopped mid-sentence, her movements freezing. Then, she looked at me and asked, “Is this why you were so tired?”
“…!”
Is this how a criminal feels when pointed out by a master detective? My body stiffened involuntarily, my shoulders hunched, and beads of sweat began to form along my spine.
“That’s it. Seeing as you were tired enough to talk in your sleep… you were tired because you went at it too much with those girls. That’s why you can’t react. Just how much did you blast into them?”
Yun-ji smirked, indicating she had figured it out. Even though I’d been caught, I decided to be even more shameless.
“So what? Am I wrong? It’s still true that I didn't react to you because of that love.”
“Wow…”
“Trash.”
The audience jeered, but I didn't care.
“Because I pounded them as much as I loved them, I’m not reacting to you right now!”
If this were a fantasy novel, the phantoms of three women would have appeared behind my back right now—goddesses shielding me.
“Thank you, Ye-rin! I-seo! Ah-rin! Thanks to unloading everything into you guys, I was able to overcome this wicked temptation!”
Squeeze!
Squeeze!
Squeeze!
“Ah, it’s up.”
After Yun-ji massaged it a few times like she was giving a treatment, my gear finally stood up again.
“…”
I looked up at the ceiling, pretending not to notice out of sheer embarrassment.
“Wow…”
“Trash.”
The jeers poured down on me once again.

Early morning.
Perhaps because I ate a late-night snack before bed, my body felt heavy.
Ugh, I’m so freaking lazy to go to work.
To make matters worse, I was short on sleep because of the 'robbers' last night. I contemplated just calling in sick, but since I had to go anyway, I forced myself to squirm out of bed.
“Woo-jin! Are you awake?”
Seo Ye-rin’s voice drifted over from the sink. Startled, I bolted upright and looked at her.
“W-What? Why are you here?”
“You got picked on by I-seo and Ah-rin the other day. So I came to replenish some ‘Woo-jin components’!”
“Ah… right, I see.”
Wow, that gave me a heart attack.
Yun-ji and Jin-ah had gone to sleep in Senior Ju-hee’s room, so they weren't here. I was worried for a second, but thank god.
She doesn't seem to have noticed.
It seemed she just came over because she felt left out after what Choi I-seo and Yoo Ah-rin did. She was working hard from early in the morning.
“But Woo-jin, did you eat chicken last night?”
I flinched slightly while folding the blanket at Ye-rin’s question. However, I quickly regained my composure and answered normally.
“Yeah, I got a bit hungry in the middle of the night, so I ordered some.”
“Aha. Then do you not need breakfast? I brought a lunch box.”
“A lunch box?”
Does Seo Ye-rin even know how to cook? I stole a glance and saw that there really was a lunch box container.
“Can I eat it for lunch? A lot of people at the office bring their own meals.”
“Of course! It’s insulated too! I’ll put it in your bag!”
Ye-rin trotted over and tucked the lunch box she’d prepared into my bag. Seeing her in an apron made her look like a young bride; it was a nice sight.
“So, did you just come to see me?”
“Yep! I came to see you! You’re going to be tired from working today!”
To be honest, I wasn't fully recovered yet. My sleep had been interrupted in the middle of the night, after all. Still, this was enough. I felt okay, I wasn't drowsy, and my lower half was feeling sturdy.
“Thanks. You’ve made my morning feel great.”
“Hehe.”
“I’m going to wash up first. What are you going to do?”
“I have a lecture this morning. I’ll just stay here until it’s time to go.”
“Was it English Syntax? You’re taking that with Ah-rin, right?”
“That’s right!”
Look at how bright she is. It really warmed my heart.
I went into the bathroom and started taking off my clothes to shower. While I was checking the water temperature, I heard Ye-rin’s voice from outside.
“Give me your clothes so I can gather the laundry.”
She really feels like a newlywed.
But I’d been thinking this since last time—how does she infiltrate the dormitory so well? No matter how lax the security is, it felt like she was just walking in way too easily.
“Here.”
I handed the clothes out and went back to washing. A lot had happened in the early hours, but now that it was morning, it felt like everything was back to normal, and I felt—
“Wow, Woo-jin.”
“Yeah?”
“Even your clothes smell like another woman?”
“…”
What?
It was a perfectly peaceful and refreshing morning just a second ago. Why did it suddenly turn into a thriller?
“I was going to let it slide that the room smelled like it. But it’s on your clothes too. This isn't I-seo or Ah-rin! Right, Woo-jin?”
Look at how brightly she was saying that. Anyone else would think she was just the usual Seo Ye-rin.
But wasn't I her boyfriend?
Even though her tone was the same and her acting skills were top-tier as a talented actress, she couldn't completely fool me.
Especially since I hadn't noticed before, but she had been calling me "Woo-jin-ah" instead of her usual pet name "Woo-jina" from the very beginning.
“Ah, I know! This is Yun-ji’s, right? Romance Shampoo! You had it at your place before, saying it belonged to your ex!”
“…”
How was I supposed to answer? What kind of excuse could I possibly come up with?
While I was racking my brain for an answer…
“Woo-jin!”
Ye-rin asked with a bright smile, as if the answer didn't even matter.
“When are you coming out?”
