Chapter 441: Don't Provoke Me
“Ahaha!”
It was a peaceful day.
They say university students are busy during their breaks, working part-time jobs and building up their resumes.
Is that really true?
I wouldn't know.
Mainly because, for now, I was as idle as could be.
Even now, I was sitting on the sofa with Seo Ye-rin, watching a variety show on TV.
“Hey, Kim Woo-jin. Why are there so many women’s workout clothes in the laundry?”
Yoo Ah-rin walked in from the balcony.
I popped a potato chip into my mouth and answered her as she glared at me with narrowed eyes.
“Those belong to Senior Ju-hee. She comes over to exercise often, so she just tosses her laundry in with ours.”
“Hah, this place really is a communal space, isn't it?”
“Tell me about it.”
I nodded, munching on another chip.
“But are you doing the laundry?”
“Choi I-seo isn't doing it! So I might as well!”
At that, Choi I-seo, who was studying at the dining table with earphones in, glanced up.
“Huh? Did you call me?”
“Forget it, you wench! Just keep studying!”
“What’s her problem?”
Having grown used to Yoo Ah-rin’s irritability, Choi I-seo went back to her books without much of a reaction.
While Choi I-seo was living proof that students could be busy during the break, personally, I didn't find it very convincing.
I-seo was busy during the semester too, after all.
Sometimes it felt like she just couldn't stand being idle.
‘She’s the type to go out of her way to find work.’
Just look at her studying for certifications right now. She was determined to bag a few during this break.
“Oh, Woo-jin. That guy is pretending to be such a family man, but he’s actually a total flirt.”
Seo Ye-rin laughed, pointing at a male guest on the variety show.
I wondered if she was being a bit too casual with such heavy gossip, but she added with a grin:
“The news will break soon. My manager unni told me not to even act friendly with him because the reporters are all over him.”
“...The entertainment industry is a dark place.”
“Well, chaebol families have their dark sides too.”
“That’s true.”
Oh, right.
Come to think of it, I hadn't told the girls about what happened yesterday.
‘Let me check with Choi Jin-ah first.’
The reply came almost instantly.
Technically speaking, yes, Choi Jin-ah wasn't exactly fat.
She used to have a bit of a plump feel to her, but she’d slimmed down significantly thanks to Senior Ju-hee’s diet.
However, because that initial image was so strongly burned into my mind, the "Piggy" label stuck.
“Hmm?”
Choi Jin-ah had sent a photo of her stomach, lifting her shirt slightly. The photo was a bit blurry, as if she’d taken it in a hurry.
Deciding there was no point in talking to someone who didn't even know what a Finger Pistol was, I put my phone away.
“Ahahaha! Woo-jin, look at that! That’s hilarious!”
“More importantly, Ye-rin, I just realized we haven't told the others yet.”
“Hmm?”
Seo Ye-rin tilted her head, then let out a soft exclamation.
“Ah, you’re right.”
I got up, sat across from I-seo, and called out to Yoo Ah-rin.
“Hmm? What is it?”
Choi I-seo asked, pulling out her earphones, while Yoo Ah-rin approached from the balcony, grumbling.
“Ahem, everyone just stay calm and listen.”
Starting with Choi Jin-ah’s stalker incident, I gave them a brief summary of what had happened at the house yesterday.
Even though I repeatedly told them not to worry and that the guy responsible had already been caught...
“You didn't tell us something like that until now?!”
Choi I-seo slammed her hand on the table, looking utterly dumbfounded.
“....”
Yoo Ah-rin just stared at me blankly, her mouth hanging open.
“Uh, yeah. It slipped my mind.”
So many intense things had happened yesterday that I’d forgotten. I was especially exhausted after the night I spent with Seo Ye-rin.
I wondered if they were going to hit me for keeping something so important from them.
Worried, I started to stand up, but to my surprise, Yoo Ah-rin lunged forward and threw her arms around me.
“Ah-rin?!”
Startled, I looked down, but she just buried her face in my chest without saying a word.
“Ah-rin?”
I called her name, but there was no answer.
However, I could feel a slight dampness on my shirt; she was crying.
I gently held her.
I knew she wouldn't want the others to see her crying.
And then.
“When is it my turn?”
Choi I-seo, standing stiffly behind Yoo Ah-rin with her arms crossed, asked.
“What about me?”
When she asked when she’d get her turn to hug me, Yoo Ah-rin finally shouted.
“You bitch! I’m grieving here!”
“....”
Choi I-seo slipped behind me and wrapped her arms around my back.
I was now sandwiched between the two of them.
I-seo also buried her face in my back and whispered.
“Please, be careful.”
“Yeah, I will. But this time, it wasn't really my fault.”
“Still, you bastard! Do you know how many people are depending on you right now?!”
Yoo Ah-rin barked from the front.
It seemed they were both sad and angry that I’d almost been seriously hurt.
Even though they knew it wasn't my fault, they were frustrated because they had nowhere to vent their pent-up emotions.
Seeing that, I spoke softly to reassure them as much as possible.
“It’s okay. Ye-rin saved me. And Jin-ah and James are looking for the person who hired the stalker.”
“Ahem! I’m the one who saved him!”
Seo Ye-rin laughed beside us, flexing her meager biceps.
Her tone was playful, but it was her way of comforting the other two, showing them it wasn't a big deal.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Choi I-seo’s voice was calm as usual, but she didn't let go of her hold on me.
“Yeah! Are you sure you’re not hurt?!”
Yoo Ah-rin looked up urgently and asked.
Seeing her eyes all red made my heart feel a bit mushy.
Even during our trip, she’d cried, telling me not to go to the military.
Underneath it all, Yoo Ah-rin had a surprisingly soft side.
“I’m not hurt.”
I said with a smile, but they weren't listening.
Before I knew it, the two of them were lifting up my shirt.
They started feeling and scanning my body from front to back.
“What are you doing?!”
I was taken aback, but they didn't stop. They kept groping all over me, searching for any signs of injury.
In no time, my shirt was off, and I was standing there in just my pants.
“What’s this?! This mark!”
“Woo-jin, there’s a wound on your shoulder!”
They were startled by the marks on my body and immediately started talking about applying medicine or going to the hospital.
“That’s...”
Embarrassed, I glanced at Seo Ye-rin, who just stuck her tongue out and grinned.
“Oops! Those are marks Ye-rin made yesterday!”
“....”
“....”
Both of their gazes shifted simultaneously toward Seo Ye-rin.
Then they looked back up at me, and I averted my eyes in embarrassment.
“Well, yesterday, Ye-rin said she was going to eat me up and...”
I’d seen the marks on my neck, but I hadn't realized they went that far down.
Anyway, yesterday, Seo Ye-rin had literally marked my body all over like a wild animal.
“Woo-jin doesn't have any injuries! He’s perfectly fine! So you don't have to worry!”
Ye-rin spoke with a laugh, but the other two wore strangely dissatisfied expressions.
Then, Yoo Ah-rin dropped to her knees and tried to pull my pants down.
“Take them off! You said he grabbed your ankle! Now that I think about it, the injuries would be further down!”
“Hey! Hey! No! And you can just check my ankles, why are you taking my pants off?!”
As I desperately held onto my waistband, Yoo Ah-rin bit her lip.
“Are you taking them off or not?”
She lowered her hand slightly and started opening and closing her fist as if she were ready to crush my balls at any moment.
“I mean, if you want to do it, you could just say so.”
It wasn't like I was going to refuse.
Regardless, I pretended to give in to her threat and lowered my pants.
But before Yoo Ah-rin could move, my underwear was pulled down too—by Choi I-seo behind me.
“...Did she bite you here too?”
Choi I-seo asked, tilting her head as she looked at my butt.
“Ahem.”
I tried to dodge the question with an awkward cough, but Seo Ye-rin just grinned, showing her teeth.
“Nom! Woo-jin’s booty, nom!”
“Honestly, you’re something else...”
Choi I-seo shook her head, saying she was hopeless, while Yoo Ah-rin felt my thighs to double-check for any injuries.
“What gives? I thought we were going to have sex.”
“We’re not. I just wanted to see for myself that you weren't hurt.”
Yoo Ah-rin stood up, huffing.
Choi I-seo also stepped back, saying she was glad I seemed okay.
Just as I was feeling a bit disappointed...
Slap!
“...?”
A crisp sound echoed from my backside.
Wondering what that was, I turned around to find Choi I-seo staring blankly at her own palm.
When all our eyes landed on her, she blushed furiously and shouted.
“N-No! It’s just that Kim Woo-jin sometimes slaps my butt when we’re doing it! S-So I just wanted to try it once!”
Phew.
“Choi I-seo, you’re really asking for it.”
I was currently very, very aroused.
I turned around to pounce on her, but...
Slap!
I felt a similar sensation on my butt again.
I turned my head to see Yoo Ah-rin grinning mischievously this time.
“That’s quite firm. You’ve been working on your lower body, haven't you, kid?”
“What is this? I feel like I’m being sexually harassed.”
Not that I hated it.
I tried to lunged at the two of them again, but they immediately dodged.
“We’re not doing it!”
“Put your clothes back on, you bastard!”
“I mean... after you’ve gotten me this worked up?”
Even though I pointed at my member, which was standing tall and swinging with every movement, the two were firm.
“This is Jin-ah’s house. She specifically asked us not to do it here.”
“Only beasts like you and Seo Ye-rin would ignore that. We follow requests, okay?”
“Then can we just go to a hotel?”
I asked just in case, but neither of them answered immediately.
“I’m booking one right now.”
Sensing a 'yes' in their slight hesitation, I immediately tried to put on the underwear and pants I’d dropped.
“Ahahaha! Woo-jin’s undies!”
Before I knew it, Seo Ye-rin had snatched up my underwear and pants and was running away.
She was even wearing my shirt over her own.
“Hey, what are you doing?!”
Startled, I chased after her, but she laughed and ran into the dressing room, locking the door.
“Hey! Hey! Seo Ye-rin! Open up!”
Bang, bang, bang!
“Ahahaha!”
Seo Ye-rin laughed, clearly enjoying herself.
“All my stuff and clothes are in there!”
Yoo Ah-rin had just started the laundry, so I couldn't even re-wear what I’d just taken off.
When I shouted that I’d have to stay naked, Seo Ye-rin laughed and replied:
“I’m never opening up!”
“You crazy woman! Why are you doing this?!”
“Because if you put your clothes on, you’ll go to a hotel! Without me!”
No matter how many times I pounded on the door, she wouldn't open it.
I looked at Choi I-seo and Yoo Ah-rin for help.
Choi I-seo was already back to her studies.
And Yoo Ah-rin was sitting indifferently on the sofa, eating the potato chips I’d been eating earlier.
“Hey! Help me out here!”
I shouted, blocking the TV, but Yoo Ah-rin just sighed and gestured with her chin.
“Stop dangling that thing and get lost.”
“No! Fuck! You want me to just stay like this?!”
“I said, get lost.”
“Then at least help me hide it!”
“How?”
“If I insert it, it’ll be hid—”
I had to dodge as she immediately threw the remote at me.
“I-seo! Help me!”
This time I went to Choi I-seo, but she just scowled and glared at me.
“Sigh, figure it out yourself. I’m busy.”
Weren't they both just hugging me and worrying about me a moment ago?
Why were they being so cold now?
“Ah, damn it.”
In the end, I pulled out my phone and called Choi Jin-ah.
— Ugh, what now!
Choi Jin-ah was still angry about being called a piggy earlier.
But that wasn't my concern right now.
“You have a master key, right? Where did you put it? It’s an emergency.”
— A master key? Why do you need that?
“Just tell me, quickly. I’m cold.”
— ...What are you talking about? Why would I tell you that?!
“I said, tell me! Don't provoke me any further, Choi Jin-ah!”
— Why are you talking like that?! No! I’m absolutely, definitely not telling you!
“If you don't tell me right now, I’m going to have to wear your clothes and panties from your room!”
— Kyaaaaaaaaak!
I told her not to provoke me.
So just tell me, dammit.
