145 – 140. Complicated**
I couldn’t deny that she had made a strong impression on me.
Yes, to be honest.
Just from a few minutes of conversation, I was surprised to feel the embers in my heart that had been dying out reignite.
But I couldn’t let it show.
No, I didn’t want to let it show.
“Get out.”
Maybe that’s why.
I might have said it more coldly to hide those feelings.
As if she had noticed my struggle, Oh Yoon-ji looked at me with a leisurely smile still on her lips.
“Should I make you some soybean paste stew? You liked the one I made before.”
“Get out.”
“You don’t eat pork belly and kimchi stew.”
“I’ll eat it now, so get out.”
After I firmly pushed her out several times, Oh Yoon-ji seemed a little annoyed and crossed her arms, grumbling.
“I’m going back to school now. Things are getting back on track, so I have some free time.”
“You’re going back to school in the second semester anyway.”
Since she had attended the first semester and then took a break, it was natural that she would be starting from the second semester of her freshman year when she returned.
“That’s true. But I’ll still be going to school often. To see you.”
“……”
“There are other reasons besides that, so don’t look so scared.”
Oh Yoon-ji patted my shoulder and relaxed her body.
I felt like if we talked any more today, I would really start to raise my voice, so I kept my distance.
“Just to be clear, you’re not my girlfriend anymore.”
I added a word to Oh Yoon-ji as she grabbed the doorknob and went out.
If I didn’t do this, I felt like I would be shaken myself.
“You’re cruel.”
But to my words, Oh Yoon-ji replied with a slightly sad smile for the first time.
“But it’s okay.”
“……”
“I’ll get over it. Like I always have.”
Thud.
The door closed.
As silence fell, I felt a strange sensation.
It wasn’t a negative feeling towards Oh Yoon-ji, but a sense of longing, joy, and relief that she was doing well.
It made me even more confused.
The strong scent of roses still lingered in the room, bringing back forgotten memories.
“Ugh, damn it.”
I covered my head and sank down.
I’m glad she’s doing well.
I wanted to say something like that.
But I felt like something would change if I said that.
I couldn’t help but be curt.
After a long time of torment, I tried to calm my mind and went to the table.
But the kimchi stew that Choi Yi-seo had made for me was already cold.
* * *
I spent more and more time at home, in a daze.
Choi Yi-seo visited me often, but she could see my condition and was worried, but she couldn’t ask me too much.
I think she had sensed that it was because of Oh Yoon-ji.
‘I’m sorry.’
Maybe that’s why.
At some point, Choi Yi-seo’s visits became less frequent, and in the meantime, Seo Ye-rin and Yoo Ah-rin returned from Gold One.
I asked them to have a drink with me, but we only talked about making plans, and nothing really happened.
It was my fault.When I didn’t respond properly and answered indifferently, everyone thought something was strange, so there were hardly any responses.
‘Haah.’
Time passed helplessly.
I had returned to Ga-hyeon University after a long time.
It was for the dormitory interview.
Most of the people gathered in a group and looking around the university with youthful faces were probably freshmen.
‘I was like that last year.’
I was excited to leave home and attend university while living alone for the first time.
However, after a year, I had become a veteran who had experienced everything.
There had been so much going on in the past year.
I was now a sophomore, but I already had a headache because incidents and accidents were happening.
‘I haven’t seen the bamboo forest lately.’
Come to think of it, I hadn’t seen the bamboo forest for a while, even though I was the manager.
I thought I should go in and do some maintenance, but my fingers didn’t press the app.
Things were already complicated, and I didn’t want to see useless stories in the bamboo forest.
Yoo Ah-rin would probably take care of it.
I just waited for the interview in the waiting room, believing that.
“Hmm?”
“Huh?”
I came face to face with a familiar face.
A plump physique and an impressive jawline.
It was my roommate at Gold One, the senior in culinary arts, Oh Dae-sang.
“Woo-jin?”
“Senior Dae-sang? Are you also interviewing for the dormitory?”
I think he’s twenty-seven now.
“Yeah, I’ve been living in the dormitory since I was a freshman.”
“Oh, I see.”
He’s a senior now, so he’s about to graduate. I heard that seniors don’t get accepted into the dormitory very often, but he seemed confident and relaxed.
I left first, but I was reminiscing about my time at Gold One.
A sharp gaze.
Senior Joo-hee, her tied hair sticking out from behind her hat, was staring at me.
“Oh, it’s Joo-hee. Hello.”
Senior Dae-sang greeted her warmly. They both worked in the kitchen at Gold One, so they must have become close.
“Hello.”
Although they were from different departments, Senior Joo-hee used honorifics because Senior Dae-sang was older.
“Hello, senior.”
I also bowed my head and greeted her, and Senior Joo-hee stared at me before nodding slightly.
“Hey, have you been well?”
“Oh, yes. I’ve been well.”
Honestly.
Yeah, I had forgotten.
Senior Joo-hee was in my arms.
I couldn’t deny that she had been pushed back for a while by the appearance of Oh Yoon-ji.
‘But…’
Senior Joo-hee didn’t seem to care, to the point where I wondered if I had dreamed it.
“Are you prepared for the dormitory interview? Do you have all your documents?”
“Yes, would you like to see them?”
“Let me see. Did you bring everything you worked on at Gold One?”
Senior Joo-hee sat down next to me naturally and checked everything.
‘What the heck, was it really a dream?’
But it wasn’t.
It definitely wasn’t.

I even remember putting my hand on my head.But when I saw Sunbae Juhee acting as if nothing had happened, I thought I should just follow her lead and pretend it never happened.
Normally, I would have asked her about it.
Because that’s the kind of person I am.
However.
‘Right now, because of Oh Yoonji, it’s a bit….’
I didn’t want to add another complicated situation.
It seemed like Sunbae Juhee also wanted to pretend it never happened, so I followed her lead and continued our conversation as usual, even joking around.
* * *
‘What the hell is this kid?!’
It was the opposite.
‘What the hell is this!’
While Kim Woojin had forgotten about Min Joohee because of Oh Yoonji for the past week.
‘Ah, what the hell!’
Min Joohee, on the other hand, couldn’t stop thinking about Kim Woojin.
‘Am I dreaming?!’
She could still vividly recall the feeling of Kim Woojin’s hand on her head.
‘But, but we made eye contact?’
The warmth of his embrace still lingered on her body, making her tingle.
‘What the hell!’
Kim Woojin’s slightly muscular body.
The sensation of touching it was still vivid in her palm.
‘Ugh, this is suffocating!’
She wanted to grab a baseball bat and ask him if he remembered that moment.
But she couldn’t.
Min Joohee was all too familiar with hitting people.
But she had no immunity to this kind of situation.
‘Why did I do that back then?!’
It was an accident.
The night she spent at Gold One.
Min Joohee, who had come back from night skiing, was about to go to sleep.
She entered the dorm quietly so as not to wake the others, but the noise was coming from inside.
At first, she thought someone was watching a movie.
Then, after hearing the intense moans, she thought someone was watching porn.
Finally.
When she slightly opened the door to the room where the noise was coming from, Seo Yerim and Yoo Ah Rin’s room.
Only then.
‘Haak! Hwaang!’
She realized the truth.
Seo Yerim was moaning almost like a scream.
The moment she saw her lying face down and being ridden by Kim Woojin, her body froze without her knowing.
Why is Kim Woojin in the girls’ dorm?
The thought crossed her mind.
At that moment, Yoo Ah Rin, who was also naked next to her, tried to stop Kim Woojin.
Slap!
He slapped her butt as a warning.
‘Don’t rush me, wait.’
Kim Woojin’s heavy voice made her wonder if this was really the cute junior she knew.
‘Yes, yes.’
The moment she saw Yoo Ah Rin lying face down next to Seo Yerim and sticking out her butt, she was so shocked that her brain was shaking.
Yoo Ah Rin, who was just as feisty as her, was waiting obediently like a b*tch.
It was a scene that made no sense.
Two women were lying under a man, whimpering and moaning, and they seemed to be enjoying it too.
It was shocking.
Min Joohee had only ever fought with men since high school, and when she went to college, she only studied for her scholarship.
So she had kept her distance from men.Because I was ignorant, I wasn’t curious.
Because I was ignorant, I wasn’t interested.
Because I was ignorant, I wasn’t intrigued.
However.
Now I know.
‘…….’
At that time, I couldn’t resist the strange impulse and curiosity, so I lay down next to the sleeping Kim Woo-jin.
Just.
It was just like an instinct.
I just did it because I felt a strange excitement from the sight of the two juniors who were screaming with joy and forgetting their shame.
It wasn’t as bad as I thought.
When Kim Woo-jin’s hand rested on my head, I felt a strange tingling sensation.
But.
But!
But!!!
“Oh, it’s my turn. I’ll be back!”
“Yes, if you just answer as I told you, there won’t be any problems.”
That bastard.
Min Joo-hee couldn’t help but clench her fists at the sight of him acting so nonchalantly.
“……Joo-hee, are you mad?”
Oh Dae-sang asked, sensing something strange in Min Joo-hee’s appearance.
“No.”
The moment she saw Min Joo-hee gritting her teeth and answering.
“Yes.”
Oh Dae-sang couldn’t help but close his eyes instinctively.
