Chapter 88: Women's Dormitory
“Ooh?”
I’d been attending Gahyeon University for a year now, but I’d never actually been to the dorms.
Since the buildings were located all the way at the back of the campus, I never really had a reason to come this far.
However, the dormitory buildings were much larger and more spacious than I expected, enough to make me whistle in admiration.
“Nice, right? I was surprised the first time I saw it, too.”
Senior Ju-hee grinned as she headed inside. She tapped a card—likely one issued only to residents—and led me in.
“But isn't this the female dormitory?”
“Yeah, so?”
“...Then shouldn't I not be allowed in here?”
Female dorms were, naturally, off-limits to men. I thought she’d call someone out for me, so her dragging me right in was a bit disconcerting.
“Who cares? The other girls bring their boyfriends in all the time anyway.”
“...”
“Just pretend you’re my boyfriend and walk in.”
Her nonchalance was almost overwhelming, but regardless, she pulled me along.
“Whoa, Min Ju-hee. You got a boyfriend?”
“Is she crazy? Min Ju-hee actually found a guy?”
“Yeah, you bitches. Don't come by my room today.”
We passed several other seniors along the way, and the level of their banter was intense.
“Why? Let’s eat together!”
“Hehehe, he looks tasty, doesn't he?”
“You crazy sluts. You’re scaring the kid.”
I didn't know what department they were from, but they were incredibly aggressive. For a split second, I actually felt like following them.
However, I felt the chilling imaginary glares of Choi I-seo and Seo Ye-rin piercing my soul, so I just looked away.
“Just kidding! Have fun!”
“Ju-hee, make that bitch cry!”
The storm of seniors passed.
Ju-hee sighed and patted me on the back.
“Ignore them. It’s been months since any of them dated a guy, so they’re just acting out.”
“This place is surprisingly... open-minded.”
“...It’s just them.”
Well, if she said so, I guess it was.
Ju-hee took me to the third floor, the highest level of the dorm.
We headed toward a room in the far corner. The hallway lights were dim there, making it feel even darker.
Thud, thud.
“Eun-woo Unni. Unni, someone you know is here.”
Since it was a dorm room, there was no doorbell, so Ju-hee pounded on the door.
“Tell them to piss off!”
The response from inside was lackluster. When I saw her last time, my first impression was that she was quite timid. Had the prospect of grad school turned her into this?
Ju-hee shrugged at the aggressive reaction, glanced at me, and added one more thing.
“It’s a guy. Sounds like you two know each other?”
The door flew open in less than a second.
“Who...?!”
Lee Eun-woo stepped out, looking striking in her mask and hat. I gave a small wave and smiled.
“We know each other, right?”
“The, the Manag—!”
As I frowned, Lee Eun-woo trailed off and gave an awkward laugh, swinging the door wide.
“Come in.”
“Manager? What are you managing?”
“Maybe she meant I haven't been managing my own body well?”
When I threw that jab, Lee Eun-woo’s shoulders flinched. Regardless, it was time to learn the secrets of dorm life from the Physical Therapy Dept. Fossil and Anonymous 90.
* * *
Anonymous 90’s—that is, Lee Eun-woo’s—dorm tips were more useful than I expected. Specifically, she told me that if I emphasized during the interview that I was struggling financially while living alone, I’d have a high chance of getting in. Her advice to prepare specific documents to prove it felt quite reliable.
“Phew, thank you.”
I stretched my back. Ju-hee had already gone back to her own room, telling us to finish our chat.
“Puhah!”
For some reason, Lee Eun-woo had been chugging beer the entire time we talked.
She claimed it felt great, but her face was flushed, and as she slowly took off her glasses, a strange atmosphere began to drift through the room.
“Thanks for today. I should get going. And hey, try to tone down the Sex Parrot spamming on the Bamboo Forest.”
Lately, Anonymous 90 had been spamming even faster than Anonymous 69, leading people to wonder if a new Sex Master had appeared.
At my warning, Lee Eun-woo let out a hollow laugh and shook her head.
“It’s because I’m lonelllyyy! I’m so lonelllyyy!”
“...”
“I’m going to grad school, I’m a teaching assistant... I’m busy as hell with all this work, and I’m sexually frustraaaated!”
Ah, this is the kind of situation where things go south if I stay too long.
“I see. Well, I’m leaving now.”
I’d gotten what I came for, so I tried to bolt, but Lee Eun-woo suddenly lunged and hugged me from behind.
“Just once! Jussst once! Let’s do it once, okay? Please?”
I’d felt it since last time, but this woman was truly a sex-crazed maniac.
I’d suspected it since she started acting like a Sex Parrot to hook a guy, but now she seemed ready to explode.
“I’m not even asking to date! Okay? We just whip out your dick, go rub-rub, and we’re done!”
“Your choice of words is truly vulgar...”
I sighed and pushed Lee Eun-woo away. Having dealt with the temptations of Seo Ye-rin and Choi I-seo, this was nothing.
She was just humming to herself, completely wasted after a few cans of beer.
Vrrr!
My phone vibrated.
I pushed away the clinging Lee Eun-woo and checked the screen.
— Choi I-seo —
The name of the number one person I didn't want to talk to right now popped up.
“Ah, pleaaaase!”
Now the campus zombie was clinging to my leg.
I tried to shake her off, but the phone kept ringing, so I had no choice but to answer.
“Hello?”
— Why did it take you so long to pick up?
“Ah, I was learning something.”
— Learning? Editing?
“No, it’s... not that!”
Even as I tried to push her away with my other foot, the drunk Lee Eun-woo was literally on a rampage.
“Agh! Seriously!”
— Is something wrong?
Choi I-seo asked in a worried voice. I briefly considered hiding it, but after what happened last time, I didn't really want to keep secrets from her.
“I’m in the female dorm right now...! And I’m being held captive by a weirdo!”
— Female dorm? A weirdo?
Choi I-seo’s voice turned slightly cold, but I continued to be honest.
“I might stay in the dorms next semester, so I came to see someone Senior Ju-hee knows to get some tips, but...!”
Damn, why is she so strong?
Her obsession with not wanting to go to grad school was manifesting as a death grip on my pant leg.
“This person is drunk and won't stop hitting on me! I’m trying to peel her off! I’m literally using my feet to push her away right now!”
— ...What room number.
Did Choi I-seo’s icy voice travel through the phone? Lee Eun-woo’s grip suddenly loosened, allowing me to scramble back.
“Agh! Finally let go. I’m leaving now. Yeah, don't worry. I have a morning lecture tomorrow, so I’ll see you then.”
— Are you sure you don't need me to come get you?
“I’m not a kid. I’m fine, so don't worry.”
— ...You’re not giving in to temptation or anything, right?
“Giving in to what?”
— You gave in last time.
Last time... did she mean when she came over to my place?
“That was...”
— That was?
“I mean...”
— You mean?
What was this?
Why did she sound strangely pleased?
At Choi I-seo’s pressing voice, I kept my mouth shut.
— Are you sleeping? Answer me.
The reason I’d given in to Choi I-seo’s temptation... was because it was Choi I-seo. But saying that out loud was too embarrassing.
“Ah, whatever. I’m hanging up.”
— Hehe, see you tomorrow?
“No. I’m skipping class tomorrow.”
— See you tomorrow?
“I said no.”
— See you tomorrow?
I really can't win against her.
“See you tomorrow.”
The call ended with the sound of Choi I-seo’s laughter.
“Is... is that your girlfriend?”
Lee Eun-woo asked cautiously. I sighed and shook my head.
“No, not a girlfriend.”
“Then is it like a 'some' thing?”
“...Your vocabulary is so old-fashioned.”
“Do—do people not use the word 'some' these days?!”
As if that mattered.
“Anyway, you get it, right? I really have to go now.”
“Hmph.”
I tried to head out past the pouting Lee Eun-woo, but then I got a text.
“...”
As luck would have it, it seemed I had to stay in this room a bit longer.
Tshhh.
Lee Eun-woo, realizing her chance for a hot night had gone up in smoke, cracked open another beer from the fridge and locked eyes with me.
Hearing the dorm supervisor’s voice outside, she stared at me blankly before breaking into a grin.
“Just sleep overrr.”
That coquettish tone was back.
I’d seen plenty of men obsessed with women, but this was my first time seeing a woman this obsessed with men.
“Mmm? Sleep overrr.”
I’d noticed it before, but even if she didn't look it on the outside, Lee Eun-woo had a certain sexiness when she was trying to act seductive.
Well, that was that.
I was about to get seriously annoyed and tell her to stop when my phone rang again at the perfect time.
I thought it might be Senior Ju-hee, but it was another unexpected person.
— Seo Ye-rin —
‘Is today some kind of special day for them?’
They both called me occasionally, but I don't think they’d ever called back-to-back like this.
“Hello?”
— Hello? What are you doing?
I had a feeling I was about to repeat exactly what I’d just said.
“I’m in the female dormitory.”
— ...Why there?
I gave her the same explanation I gave Choi I-seo. I even made sure to add that Lee Eun-woo was staring at me hungrily and that I was scared.
They didn't know each other, but since they were both active Sex Parrots on the Bamboo Forest, I thought they might have some kind of spiritual connection.
— Are you joking? Put it on speaker.
I didn't want to, but Seo Ye-rin’s aura was so intense that I cautiously switched to speakerphone and held it toward Lee Eun-woo.
— Hey.
“Ye—yes?”
— Don't you dare touch someone else's dick.
I hung up immediately.
“...”
Lee Eun-woo, looking more exhausted than offended at this point, stared at me with a strange expression and slowly raised her middle finger.
“Just go die.”
