Chapter 446: Seo Ye-rin's Trip?
A few days had passed.
Not much had happened in the meantime.
If I had to pick something, it would be the fact that the others found out Choi Jin-ah had kissed me.
At first, I thought those two lunatics, Jeong Chan-woo and Ahn Hyun-ho, had actually lost their minds and leaked it, so I was ready to have it out with them.
As it turned out, Choi Jin-ah had come clean herself, apologizing to everyone.
She told them I hadn't done anything wrong and that she had forced herself on me.
She even claimed it was just her "form of love."
The three who heard the explanation were dumbfounded, wondering what kind of bullshit that was.
Regardless, thanks to Choi Jin-ah acting as a shield and taking all the heat, I managed to get through it unscathed.
And today.
It was already early January.
The long-awaited day of the trip had arrived.
Starting with Choi I-seo’s glamping, then the Jeju Island trip with Yoo Ah-rin.
And finally, the last trip with Seo Ye-rin.
I heard that Seo Ye-rin specifically chose this time to comfort me, as the feeling of my enlistment being just around the corner was really starting to sink in now that it was January.
"Ngh...!"
I stretched as I got out of bed.
I checked the Bamboo Forest managed by Oh Yun-ji on my phone, and the post frequency had definitely dropped now that the semester was over.
I suppose this is a good period for Oh Yun-ji to get used to being the Bamboo Forest Manager.
Since she already has experience managing chats for internet broadcasts, this kind of thing should be a breeze for her.
"Better get washed up."
It was almost time for Seo Ye-rin to arrive.
She hadn't told me a single thing about where we were going.
Judging by how she told me to just bring myself, I didn't think we'd be going very far.
Sshhhhhh.
While I was showering, I heard the sound of the front door passcode being entered.
Everyone seemed to have gotten faster at punching in the code, as if they were fully used to living at Choi Jin-ah’s place now.
Clack.
I heard the door open, followed by a noisy commotion outside.
It was funny hearing them play around already, but I felt a bit guilty about leaving Choi I-seo and Yoo Ah-rin behind.
When I finished washing up and stepped out, Yoo Ah-rin was already throwing a blatant tantrum.
"Hey, I'm still holding a grudge about how you guys tried to follow me. I am definitely following Seo Ye-rin today."
She even pulled a passport out of her bag.
"I'll follow you even if you go overseas."
Impressive.
I almost blurted out that I had to respect that level of dedication.
Of course, I kept my mouth shut because I was mindful of Seo Ye-rin.
I glanced at Choi I-seo, and she was also fully dressed in outdoor clothes today.
It looked like she had come prepared.
'I guess you could call it karma.'
Since Seo Ye-rin had tried to follow Yoo Ah-rin before, too.
'I should just stay quiet.'
If I got involved for no reason, I might end up having to take someone's side.
Avoiding those situations as much as possible was my secret to dating all three of them at once.
"Hmm."
Seo Ye-rin stood with her arms crossed.
Despite it being winter, she was dressed quite lightly, looking like she’d freeze if she spent much time outside today.
I wondered if I should give her my long padded coat.
"It's fine if you follow us."
She nodded, showing a surprisingly magnanimous side.
"What?"
"Really?"
The other two were the ones caught off guard.
I was the same, of course.
I never expected Seo Ye-rin to tell them they could come along on the trip.
"But let's get one thing straight. This is strictly my trip. Woo-jini is going to move according to my lead."
"Well, that's obvious."
"We're not that shameless."
The two agreed that even if they followed, they wouldn't interfere with the time Seo Ye-rin and I spent together.
I thought Seo Ye-rin would be stubborn and refuse no matter what, so I was surprised there was room for negotiation.
"And one more thing. Sex is strictly for me only. Don't touch him."
"Oh, for fuck's sake. Fine. Do you think we're like you? Like we'll go into heat if we don't do it for one day?"
"Is that really all?"
The two seemed puzzled by how simple the condition was.
But Seo Ye-rin gave a bright smile, looking immensely satisfied.
"Okay! For the next two days and one night, I have an exclusive contract with Woo-jini! I don't care if you follow us! But make sure you keep your distance! Because it's my trip!"
"Alright, alright. So where are we going?"
"You're not actually planning on going abroad, are you?"
Last time, Seo Ye-rin had said that if she went on a trip, she’d definitely go overseas so no one could follow.
Yoo Ah-rin had brought her passport out of concern for that, and it looked like Choi I-seo probably had hers in her bag as well.
However.
"Haha!"
What Seo Ye-rin pulled out of the suitcase she had so ambitiously brought for the trip was...
"A tent?"
Yes, it was a tent.
In fact, there didn't seem to be much else in the suitcase besides the tent.
Seo Ye-rin had brought a separate bag, but the suitcase was occupied solely by the tent.
"Are we going camping again?"
"It's hard to pitch a tent outside in this weather, Ye-rin."
Both of them spoke with worried expressions, but Seo Ye-rin shook her head with a laugh and unzipped it.
"Hup!"
She threw the tent right into the middle of the living room.
Fwoosh!
The advancement of technology is truly great.
I mean, seriously.
How does a tent just unfold itself like that just by being thrown?
It was a literal pop-up, ultra-simple tent.
"Wow."
I wanted to take that with me to the military.
I heard you have to sleep in tents during training; having that would be a total win.
Leaving me behind to marvel at the simple tent, Seo Ye-rin smirked.
"Today's travel destination! Welcome, everyone, to Choi Jin-ah's house!"
"Huh?"
"What?"
The two stared at Seo Ye-rin with blank expressions. I, who had been admiring the tent, also looked at her in shock.
"For the next two days and one night! I'm going to stay right here with Woo-jini!"
"What... what is that?"
"We're always here anyway."
"No, it's different from usual."
A sly smirk.
It seemed Seo Ye-rin had seen this whole situation coming before she even arrived.
"Because you two won't be able to get close to Woo-jini."
"..."
"..."
This time, the two of them looked at me.
Just as I was struggling to understand, Seo Ye-rin pulled a leash out of her bag.
"Woo-jin, put this on."
"This was supposed to be a trip, not a wish-granting session."
I answered to imply this was going too far, but Seo Ye-rin's reaction was cold.
"Shall we go back to talking about when you kissed Jin-ah?"
"...The size is actually quite nice. It's surprisingly soft."
I quickly fastened the leash around my neck.
Actually, calling it a leash was a bit much; it felt more like a fashion item. Like a choker.
Leaving me to fiddle with the leash in curiosity, Seo Ye-rin issued a warning to the other two.
"Woo-jini is mine now! Like we promised, you are absolutely not to touch him for the next two days and one night! Got it?!"
"..."
"..."
The two remained silent as if contemplating for a moment, but they soon answered.
"Easy enough."
"Well, if that's all."
Yoo Ah-rin swaggered over to the sofa to play on her phone, and Choi I-seo went back out, saying she’d bring her study materials.
And so.
Our trip that wasn't really a trip began.
* * *
It was technically a trip, after all.
I was lying inside the tent Seo Ye-rin had set up, just messing around on my phone.
Since I’d already checked the Bamboo Forest earlier, I was playing a mobile game when Seo Ye-rin crawled inside.
"Hehehe."
"...Why are you laughing like that?"
"Being in a cramped, private room alone with Woo-jini is just so erotic."
"Hmm."
Now that she mentioned it, it did feel a bit like that.
Just imagining it was starting to give me a bit of morning wood—or rather, mid-morning wood.
"Ah, I shouldn't be doing this in a tent."
When I looked troubled, Seo Ye-rin asked as she zipped up the entrance.
"Why?"
"Because every time I sleep in a tent in the military, I'm going to think of you and get hard."
"Slurp, that's so hot."
Look at her drooling.
She seemed to love the idea of me getting worked up because of her even after I enlisted.
Neither of us had to say who went first.
Our lips met.
The kiss grew intense, and before I knew it, my hand was on Seo Ye-rin's breast, and her hand was inside my pants.
Mwah, chu.
The long kiss ended.
Dazed but smiling, Seo Ye-rin pulled her lips away slightly and spoke.
"Not yet. A little longer."
"...Why? I feel like I'm going to explode right now."
At my words, Seo Ye-rin stroked the leash around my neck and spoke bluntly.
"That's what makes it hot."
"Is that how it works?"
"That's how it works, Woo-jin. Watch closely."
Today.
"You're going to see something very good."
I wondered what she meant as she whispered like some kind of mastermind.
"So, Woo-jin, save the best for last."
Thanks to her light clothing, Seo Ye-rin easily hiked up her skirt.
'Is it because I'm wearing the leash?'
Without much hesitation, I buried my face between her spread legs.
* * *
"Ah, ahh!?"
"W-Wait a second!"
"Ngh! Haah! Aren't you... aren't you too good at this?!"
"..."
In the middle of the living room.
Hearing Seo Ye-rin's moans coming from the tent occupying the center of the floor, Yoo Ah-rin, who was lying on the sofa, wore an expression of utter disbelief.
"Those two are out of their minds."
Even if they had become comfortable with each other, this was crossing a line.
It was only 10:00 AM.
Since it was winter break, most college students would still be fast asleep.
And yet, these two were already at it.
"Sigh."
Choi I-seo, who was studying for a certification at the dining table, finally put on her earphones.
She looked fed up, but since a promise was a promise, she decided to let it slide.
As they tried to ignore it...
"Ugh?! Ye-rin?!"
"Mmph, Woo-jini's reaction is so cute."
"Why are you sucking there?!"
"You sucked me too, didn't you?"
This time, the roles seemed to have swapped, as Kim Woo-jin's groans echoed from the tent.
"Oh, for fuck's sake."
Yoo Ah-rin turned her body completely to face the other way, while Choi I-seo tried to focus on her studies.
About thirty minutes passed.
"Haaah... I... I can't take it anymore. Let's just do it."
"No. Endure it. I'll help you."
'Another... kiss.'
The sound of their saliva and tongues wetly entangling could be heard clearly outside.
'Seo Ye-rin is definitely doing that on purpose so we can hear.'
Yoo Ah-rin's face was flushed, and her eyes were no longer on her phone but fixed on the tent.
Listening to it continuously was making her body heat up.
But since she had promised, she stayed still for the moment.
'Is she okay?'
When she looked toward Choi I-seo, she saw that she had also taken off her earphones.
Seeing her legs crossed and her body shifting slightly, it seemed she was feeling much the same.
'Hah.'
If she had known it would be like this, she would have preferred they actually went on a trip so she wouldn't have to know.
With only a thin layer of tent fabric between them, seeing their silhouettes and hearing the sounds so vividly made it even harder.
Just as Yoo Ah-rin bit her lip and was about to slip her hand into her pants to find some relief on her own...
Beep-beep-beep-beep.
The front door opened, and three people walked in.
"Finally, the house is ours again!"
"...Huh? The kids are here?"
"Oh dear, I only bought enough ingredients for three people."
Choi Jin-ah, Oh Yun-ji, and Min Ju-hee, who had assumed the four of them had gone on a trip, walked inside.
