Chapter 438: Change
“Please, I’m begging you. Seriously, okay?”
Choi Jin-ah stood by the front door, letting out a heavy sigh.
Even though Senior Ju-hee and Oh Yun-ji were already outside, she stayed behind, practically pleading with me.
“No, I said I get it. Why are you so worried?”
When I sighed in exasperation, Jin-ah pointed a finger at me, looking even more incredulous.
“Because the person hanging off your back clearly has no intention of listening!”
I glanced over my shoulder.
Still piggybacking on me, Seo Ye-rin was staring at Jin-ah with sharp, cat-like eyes.
Under the silent pressure to hurry up and leave, Jin-ah frustratedly thumped her chest.
“Is this even my house?! Don’t you dare do anything like that! Seriously, okay?!”
“I told you, I get it. I’m exhausted today too, so I just want to go to sleep.”
“Sigh, right? Yeah. That’s true. You must be the most tired one, Woo-jin.”
Jin-ah nodded as if she finally understood, then backed out the door.
“Well, she says she understands, but I don’t think she actually does.”
“Just in case. You and Ye-rin seem to enjoy the thrill. I had a feeling you’d start something the moment I turned my back.”
She was sharper than I thought.
Judging by how Seo Ye-rin’s cheek was slightly turned, she’d probably been about to kiss me immediately.
Anyway.
“I’m going now, then.”
The door closed. After seeing her off, I asked the girl clinging to my back.
“Ye-rin, seriously, when are you getting down?”
“You really have been working out. You’re holding up for a long time.”
“I think it’s more that you’ve gotten lighter. Did you lose weight? Is the company forcing you to manage your figure?”
As I walked back into the living room with her on my back, Ye-rin nodded.
“Yeah, I guess that comes with being an actress. But since I’m resting until January, I’m relatively free.”
Once we reached the sofa, Ye-rin slid down. Then, she reached out and turned off the TV, murmuring to herself.
“I heard quite a few people leave the TV on when they have sex. They play it like light background music because it’s too quiet otherwise.”
“Is that so? I thought it was because they got fired up while watching something erotic.”
“Well, I’m sure there’s that too. To set the mood. But for me, I prefer just focusing entirely on each other.”
“...You’re stripping while building up to this very naturally, aren't you?”
I asked, dumbfounded, as she was already pulling off her bra. Ye-rin looked back at me with bright, clever eyes and asked innocently.
“Huh? You’re not going to do it?”
“You haven't already forgotten what Jin-ah just told us, have you?”
When I asked out of sheer embarrassment, Ye-rin tilted her head.
“She told us not to. That she hates that kind of stuff in her house.”
“Yeah, exactly.”
“Okay, and?”
“...”
“Are you not going to do it?”
Ye-rin asked back.
What is with her?
She’s so bold.
However, despite being bombarded with stimulation since yesterday, my lower half—which hadn't had a proper ejaculation yet—rose up impressively.
“Woo-jin, it’s fine as long as we don’t get caught.”
Ye-rin said with a wink. Then, she sat on the sofa, spread her legs, and smiled.
“It reminds me of when we did it at Gold One. We did it on the living room sofa then, too.”
“When you leaked?”
“...”
Ye-rin’s face flushed red with embarrassment.
Seeing her look so lovely, I finally lowered my guard and started taking off my clothes.
“Back then, I never imagined we’d end up in a relationship like this.”
I approached her with an awkward laugh. Ye-rin also seemed to be remembering those days, as the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
“Are we suddenly talking about the old days? At Gold One, we were doing it in your room when suddenly an interruption—”
Beep-beep-beep-beep!
The passcode was entered at incredible speed.
Click!
The door swung open urgently, and Choi Jin-ah rushed inside without even taking off her shoes.
Seeing us stripping in the living room, she pointed a finger and screamed at the top of her lungs.
“I TOLD YOU NOT TOOOOO!”
* * *
“It was literally five minutes! I just waited for Ju-hee unni to finish her cigarette and came up to check just in case, and you couldn't even hold back for that short time—!”
Ye-rin and I were sitting cross-legged in front of Choi Jin-ah, listening to her lecture.
Jin-ah was currently trembling with a sense of betrayal, pointing her finger at us.
“You could have just gone to a hotel! Why do you insist on trying to do it here?!”
“Well, it’s cold outside and I didn't want to go out...”
When Ye-rin offered a pathetic excuse out of embarrassment, Jin-ah tried to gain more momentum to scold us further. However, it was now time for me—the one who had been taking advantage of Jin-ah since we were kids—to step in.
“Is sex a crime?”
“Se— What!?”
Jin-ah stared at me, her mouth agape as if she’d lost her words.
“Are you seriously saying that right now?!”
“Do you want some too, Senior? It’s instant soup.”
“You have that too?”
“Jin-ah took a liking to instant food recently and bought quite a lot.”
In the kitchen, Oh Yun-ji and Senior Ju-hee were boiling instant soup as if it were their own home.
“I want cream soup!”
I raised my hand and made my request to Oh Yun-ji. Jin-ah slapped her palm with a drumstick she was holding and shouted.
“You are being scolded right now! Get your head in the game!”
I needed to steer the conversation back.
“Jin-ah, let’s think rationally here.”
“Wow. Did... did Woo-jin just mention 'rationality' to me? You? Mentioning rationality?!”
“Is sex a bad thing? Huh? We were all born through sex. Is that a bad thing?”
Beside me, Ye-rin clapped while pretending to wipe away tears.
“What a brilliant speech, Woo-jin.”
“That’s not the point! And stop saying 'sex' over and over again!”
Oh?
This reaction was a bit like the old Seo Ye-rin.
Even during last year’s festival, Ye-rin used to be very embarrassed about saying the word 'sex' out loud.
Back then, she lived her life with a clear line drawn between the Bamboo Forest and reality.
Well, now...
Now she’s a woman who’s broken in some way, someone who feels like thorns will grow in her mouth if she doesn't talk about it for a single day.
“Woo-jin, what are you thinking about?”
Ye-rin, who had been clapping just a moment ago, was now staring intently at me.
Her intuition was so good when it came to me that it was honestly scary sometimes.
“Nothing, just... that a lot of time has passed.”
“Hmm? And here I thought you were missing the old days or something.”
“...”
If I had to be honest, maybe a little?
I love the current Ye-rin, but I do miss the shy Ye-rin of the past a bit.
Even yesterday, didn't I think that Choi I-seo, who was just starting to strip, was hotter than Ye-rin, who had stripped everything off in a heartbeat?
Did she read my mind?
Ye-rin’s face crumpled into a pout, and she suddenly lunged at me.
“You corrupted me by poking me so much with your dick! And now you say you like innocent people?!”
“No! I didn't say that! I like you the way you are now! What’s wrong with you?!”
“You were missing it a little! This is betrayal! How can you do this after you’re the one who defiled me! After you took all my purity!”
“I... I admit I took your purity! But honestly, I’m not the one who corrupted you! You were already—”
Ye-rin climbed on top of me and grabbed my collar, shaking me.
“Say that again! I was what?! You dick-bastard who corrupted me, the famous Innocent Goddess of the English Department!”
“You were already the Bamboo Forest Sex Master before you even met me!”
No matter what I said, Ye-rin wouldn't listen and kept shaking my collar.
Watching us, a bewildered Choi Jin-ah stepped in to stop us.
“Wh-what are you doing?! I was scolding you! Both of you, get back on your knees! I’m not saying sex is bad! I’m angry because you’re trying to do it in my house!”
Jin-ah tried to intervene, wanting to clarify exactly why she was angry.
But we were already rolling around, bickering back and forth.
“What the?! Why is Seo Ye-rin so strong?!”
After being mounted and taking a barrage of Ye-rin’s "cotton-fist" punches for a while...
“Haa! Hah!”
Ye-rin finally got off me, catching her breath.
Exhausted, she leaned against the sofa and grumbled.
“I need to think of something else. It’s clear we’ve fallen into a mannerism.”
“...”
“I... I don’t even know anymore.”
Jin-ah let out a long sigh as she looked down at me sprawled on the floor.
She looked like she was struggling to keep up with the situation.
“Drink this, Jin-ah.”
“Thank you.”
She took the cup of soup Senior Ju-hee handed her and took a sip to calm her nerves.
“Hmmmm.”
Ye-rin was tilting her head, lost in her own thoughts.
“Ye-rin, I’m telling you, you really don’t need to do anything more. I just suddenly remembered the past; it’s not like I’m dissatisfied with you or anything.”
“I know that... but still, if things stay the same as usual until you go to the military, you might get even more bored.”
It seemed Ye-rin had been seriously worrying about this in her own way.
We had progressed through the stages too quickly.
In a way, we had become "max-level players."
Since there was nothing new left to do, everything felt a bit dull and repetitive.
“Want Unni to teach you?”
Just then, Oh Yun-ji sat on the sofa with her mug.
She smirked at Ye-rin and then shook her head.
“Me, the one who did everything there is to do with Kim Woo-jin during the first semester like a flash of lightning?”
“...”
“I had times like that too. While doing it with Kim Woo-jin, I’d suddenly miss the days when he was a clumsy virgin.”
“Hey, shut it.”
I snapped at her, but Oh Yun-ji just flipped me the bird and continued her explanation.
“Do you feel a sense of neurosis? Does the relationship seem like it needs improvement? But Ye-rin, now isn't the time for you to be making an effort. You’ve done enough.”
“Huh?”
Ye-rin was suddenly completely absorbed in Oh Yun-ji’s story.
Oh Yun-ji’s sharp gaze and fingertip pointed directly at me.
“It’s time for you to make an effort, Kim Woo-jin!”
“...Me?”
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were pinned on me.
