Chapter 88: Women’s Dormitory

“Ooh?”

I’ve been attending Gahyeon University for a year now, but I’ve never actually been to the dormitory.

After all, since the dormitory is behind the university, there was no need to go there.

But the dormitory building is surprisingly large and spacious, enough to make me stick my tongue out.

“Nice, huh? I was also shocked when I first saw it.”

Senior Ju-hee smiles and enters the building. Apparently she has a separate card for dormitory residents, and takes me along with her.

“But isn’t this the women’s dormitory?”

“That’s right.”

“…So, shouldn’t I not be allowed to enter?”

Considering it’s the women’s dormitory, naturally it would be an area off-limits to men. I thought she would call me over separately when no one was around, but she just boldly pulled me inside, which was quite shocking to me.

“What does it matter. After all, everyone brings their boyfriends inside anyway.”

“……”

“Just pretend to be my boyfriend and come in.”

It was somewhat shocking to see such a cool demeanor on her, but even so, Senior dragged me inside.

“What’s this, Min Ju-hee. Got yourself a man?”

“Are you crazy? Min Ju-hee?”

“Hey, bitches. Don’t come to my room today.”

Speaking to the other seniors as we passed by, the level of conversation was anything but ordinary.

“Why? Let’s eat together.”

“Hehehe, looks tasty. Right?”

“Crazy bitches. You’re scaring the kid.”

I had no idea which department they were from, but they seemed quite intense for women, and I was slightly tempted to follow them.

However, I felt as if the cold stares of Choi Yiseo and Seo Yerin were piercing through me, so I just pretended not to notice anyone.

“It’s a joke! Have fun!”

“Just make Ju-hee cry.”

After the storm-like seniors passed by.

Senior Ju-hee sighed and patted me gently on the back.

“Ignore them. They’re just acting up because it’s been months since they went back to dating.”

“What an open-minded place.”

“…It’s just them.”

Well, if that’s the case, then it made sense.

The place senior Ju-hee took me to was the highest floor, the third floor of the dormitory.

Even there, we headed towards a room in the corner, which felt even darker because the hallway lights didn’t shine brightly.

Thud, thud.

“Eun-woo unnie. Unnie, someone you know is here.”

Since it’s a dorm room, naturally, there was no bell to ring, so senior Ju-hee pounded on the door roughly.

“Go away!”

And the response from the other side was just as unwelcoming. When I saw her the last time, her first impression was leaning towards the timid side, and I wondered if entering graduate school made her like this.

With a shrug at the intense reaction, senior Ju-hee glanced at me and added a comment.

“It’s a boy. Seems like you know each other?”

Then, truly in just a few seconds, the door opened.

“Who…?!”

I waved and smiled at Lee Eun-woo, who appeared in a striking look with a mask and hat.

“We know each other, right?”

“Ad-Administra…!”

Frowning deeply, Lee Eun-woo trailed off and then smiled awkwardly as she opened the door wide.

“Come in.”

“Administrator? What, are you handling something?”

“Maybe she’s saying I didn’t manage my own body well?”

At my snide remark, Lee Eun-woo trembled. Anyway, it was time to learn how to live in the dorm from Anonymous90, the assistant teacher of the Department of Physical Therapy.

---

Unexpectedly, Anonymous90,

Lee Eun-woo’s dorm tips were useful. Especially in my case, since I was living alone and struggling financially, mentioning this during the interview would make it easier to get accepted, so being told to prepare related documents separately will lend it a lot of credibility.

“Haah, thank you.”

I stretch and straighten my back. Senior Ju-hee has already gone back to her room after suggesting that we talk.

“Puah!”

For some reason, Lee Eun-woo kept chugging her beer down while talking to me.

Her face, slightly red as if she’s happy, and the way she stealthily took her glasses off made it feel like there was a strange atmosphere brewing between us.

“Thank you for today. I’ll be heading off now. And try to tone it down with the Sexy Beast posts in the Bamboo Forest.”

Lately, Anonymous90 has been posting more frequently than Anonymous69, sparking rumors about a new Sex God.

At my warning, Lee Eun-woo chuckled and shook her head vigorously.

“I’m lonely! I’m so lonely, you know!”

“……”

“Going to grad school, being a TA. With all this and that, I’m so busy I could die and it’s all because I’m frustrated!”

Ah, if I stay caught up in this for too long, it’s going to be trouble.

“I see, I’ll be going now.”

Having gotten what I came for, I was about to leave quickly when Lee Eun-woo suddenly hugged me from behind.

“Just once! Please! Just once, okay?”

I’ve felt it since the last time, but this woman really seems to be obsessed with her innate sexual desires.

I knew she was trying to hook up with guys, acting all flirtatious, but now it feels like she’s truly exploded to the point of being unable to control herself.

“I’m not even asking you to date, am I? Right? Just unzip and a quick in and out and it’s done?”

“Look at the level of vulgarity you use in that language…”

I push Lee Eun-woo away with a sigh. As someone who has been tempted by Seo Yerin and Choi Yiseo, this was nothing.

Mumbling drunkenly after a few cans of beer.

Woong!

Then my phone rang.

While pushing the persistently clingy Lee Eun-woo away, I casually checked my phone.

• Choi Yiseo -

There, the last person I wanted to receive a call from was cleanly displayed.

“Ah, damn it all!”

Now, a zombie living in the university, was clinging to my legs.

I tried to shake her off my leg, but the phone continued to ring, so I had no choice but to answer.

“Hello?”

• Why did you answer so late?

“Ah, I was learning something.”

• Learning? Editing?

“No, not that… It’s not that!”

Even when I push her away with the opposite foot, this heavily drunk Lee Eun-woo is literally on a rampage.

“Ah! Seriously!”

• What’s going on?

Choi Yiseo asks me with concern. I momentarily considered hiding this, but since there was an incident last time, I didn’t feel like hiding anything from her.

“I’m at the girls’ dormitory…! Some weird person is grabbing me!”

• Girls’ dormitory? A weird person?

Choi Yiseo’s voice turned slightly chilly, but I continued to spill everything honestly.

“I came here to get some tips from senior Ju-hee’s acquaintance because I might have to stay in the dormitory from next semester on…!”

Ah, why is this woman so strong.

The determination not graduate university clung to the hem of my pants and won’t let go.

“This person is drunk and keeps bothering me, and I’m trying to shake her off! Now I’m even pushing her away with my foot!”

• …What’s the room number?

Was it Choi Yiseo’s chilly voice that she heard over the phone? Suddenly, Lee Eun-woo’s grip loosened, allowing me to step back.

“Ah! Finally she let go. I’m going now. Yes, don’t worry. I have a lecture tomorrow morning, so I’ll see you then.”

• Is it okay if I don’t go over?

“Do I look like a kid? It’s fine, so don’t worry.”

• …You’re not going to succumb to temptation, right?

“Succumb to what?”

• You fell for it last time.

Last time… does that mean when Choi Yiseo came over to my house?

“That was…”

• That was?

“So…”

• So?

What’s this?

Why does it seem like I’m strangely pleased or something?

Under Choi Yiseo’s insistent voice urging me to answer quickly, I just kept my mouth tightly shut.

• Are you asleep? Answer me.

The reason I fell for Choi Yiseo’s temptation was… because it was Choi Yiseo, but admitting that felt embarrassingly unnecessary at this moment.

“Ah, I don’t know. Hang up now.”

• Haa, see you tomorrow?

“I don’t want to. I’m going to skip all my classes 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 Yiseo’s chuckle.

“Is-is she your girlfriend?”

I sighed and shook my head in response to Lee Eun-woo’s cautious question.

“No, she’s not my girlfriend.”

“Then, is it something like a fling then?”

“…You use really old terminology.”

“Do-do people not use the term ‘fling’ these days?!”

What does it matter what term is used?

“Anyway, you understand, right? I have to go now.”

“Ungggg.”

Leaving the disappointed Lee Eun-woo behind, I was about to go outside when I received a message.

• Captain Ju: Woojin, are you still there?

• Kim Woojin: Yes Senior, I’m about to leave now.

• Captain Ju: The dorm supervisor is making rounds right now? Wait a bit before leaving.

“……”

Coincidentally, it seems I still have to stay in this room a bit longer.

Creak.

As I realized the long-awaited steamy night was not happening, I locked eyes with Lee Eun-woo, who was again taking out a can of beer from the fridge to drink.

Just then, hearing the voice of the dorm supervisor outside, she stared blankly at me and gave a sly smile.

“Just sleep over for today.”

Again, a coquettish tone was injected.

I’ve seen a few men crazy about women, but this is my first time seeing a woman so crazy about a man.

“Hmm? Sleep over.”

I’ve felt it before, but although Lee Eun-woo doesn’t seem like it on the outside, she has quite the charm when she’s flirting with people.

Well, there’s that.

Just as I was about to seriously get annoyed and tell her to stop with the act, the phone rang at just the right moment.

I thought it was senior Ju-hee, but this time, an unexpected person called.

• Seo Yerin -

‘What day is it for these people?’

I usually get calls from time to time, but I don’t think there’s ever been a case where two of their calls came in a row like this.

“Hello?”

• Hello? What are you doing?

Why do I have a feeling I’m going to end up saying the same thing I did earlier?

“I’m at the girls’ dormitory.”

• …Why are you there?

I repeated exactly what I had told Choi Yiseo, even adding that I was scared because Lee Eun-woo was right in front of me staring hungrily at me.

Though they might not know each other, I wondered if there was some connection since they were both actively and loyally involved in the anonymous forum.

• Are you kidding me? Switch to speakerphone.

Despite my reluctance, Seo Yerin’s forcefulness was so intense that I cautiously switched my phone to speaker mode and extended it towards Lee Eun-woo.

• Excuse me.

“Yes, yes?”

• Don’t touch someone else’s guy.

I hung up immediately.

“……”

By this point, Lee Eun-woo, with an expression of being fed up beyond disbelief, looked at me strangely and slowly raised her middle finger.

“Just drop dead.”
