Bamboo Forest Manager

“Hey.”

“Don’t talk to me. I’ll forget everything I’ve memorized till now.”

When I gave Yu Arin a word after she tried to talk to me, she kicked my calf for no reason.

It didn’t hurt, but it was distracting.

However, I continued to focus on memorizing the notes I had taken.

The exam is in 10 minutes.

I was thoroughly reviewing in the lecture hall beforehand, and I couldn’t let Yu Arin disturb me.

“Want to make a bet?”

Yu Arin chattering beside me.

What kind of bet is this?

It was obvious she’d say something strange, so I just ignored her.

“…If you win, I’ll acknowledge the three of us dating.”

“What should we bet on?”

At Yu Arin’s bombshell statement, I immediately turned my head to look at her. She frowned right away.

“You bastard. The fact that you seriously suggested dating all three already makes you trash in its own right.”

“Do you think I told you that without knowing I’m trash? Anyway, how about we make a bet?”

As I put down my notebook and ask, Yu Arin hums and thinks for a moment.

“Hmm, how about if you’re the first to finish the exam, you win?”

“That’s impossible.”

I subtly point to the guys sitting in the back. They’re either playing with their phones or chatting.

“Don’t you see it’s obvious they’ll leave as soon as the exam starts?”

Just look at the ones who are already goofing off, knowing they’ve messed up the exam.

Failing university grades doesn’t mean your life becomes miserable.

University and exams aren’t everything in life.

But failing university and exams doesn’t make you happy either.

“Umm, that’s true.”

Yu Arin nodded in agreement. Then she clicked her tongue while tilting her head.

“Tsk, I was trying to kill some time because I thought it would be boring during the exam. Well, I guess I can’t help it.”

“If it’s an exam, you should take it.”

“I did study. But I was hoping for something fun. After this, we’re going home.”

Yu Arin moved on regretfully.

In the end, she started looking at the Bamboo Forest, and clicked her tongue again.

“Ugh, when will the fights with the freshmen ever end?”

The first-year students are in a power struggle with the rest of the grades.

The first-years are venting their frustration, asking what they did wrong.

On the other hand, the second and third-years are pointing fingers, saying it’s their own doing.

Honestly, I don’t even know who’s right anymore.

I just hope it all flows away like a wave.

“Once the exams are over, things should calm down, right?”

It started with acquiring exam materials and asking for help during the exam period.

At that time, Yu Arin was organizing the Bamboo Forest, saying it would be roughly finished.

However, my mind was still spinning intensely.

“How about the person who does something shocking without getting caught during exam time wins?”

“…You’re still thinking about the bet?”

Yu Arin gave a look of disbelief, but to me, this was more important than the exam.

“Yes, I was thinking about the bet. It’s a chance to get your permission.”

“I shouldn’t have said anything.”

Yu Arin regretted it, but words once spoken cannot be taken back.

“So, it’s about doing something strange during the exam time without getting caught, right?”

“Right, but noisy things are prohibited. Since others are also taking exams.”

“Hm, sounds fun.”

Yu Arin smirked.

She glanced at the clock and suddenly stood up.

“Let’s go to the very back seats.”

We moved to the back seats as it was.

There were many people, but they didn’t particularly care.

They would leave as soon as the exam started.

“Forty minutes for solving problems after the exam starts. Let’s decide in the remaining 10 minutes.”

“What if we can’t finish by then?”

“Then you lose.”

I’m quite confident about this exam.

When I answered boastfully, Yu Arin bit her lip slightly and nodded.

“Deal. And if we get caught, we automatically lose. It doesn’t mean anything once we’re caught.”

“Of course.”

“But if I win, what will you do for me?”

“Anything you want.”

Yu Arin also promises to grant what I want most. When I confidently place the bet, she sticks her tongue out and licks her lips.

As if she discovered a very tempting prey.

“Can you take responsibility for that?”

“…But it can’t be about other guys.”

If Yu Arin were to say to date only her, that would be unacceptable.

“Okay. Got it. Get ready to be screwed.”

“What’s that, sounds scary.”

I felt a slight chill, but for now, the bet was established.

The professor comes in and distributes the test papers.

We each took the test with some distance between us, and fortunately, Yu Arin was by the window.

I was right next to Yu Arin.

There was a guy with short hair next to me, but since he wore a mask and a hat, he seemed to have just woken up.

‘He’ll leave soon.’

I spent 40 minutes solving the problems.

The questions were just as I expected, so the test itself wasn’t particularly difficult.

I had a strong feeling that this midterm would go well, and I could concentrate on the problems, momentarily forgetting about the bet.

Then, with 10 minutes left in the exam.

After finishing the final inspection, I glanced sideways to see Yu Arin smirking.

She seemed to have already solved all the problems.

Or perhaps she had given up long ago.

Honestly, I suspect it’s the latter.

Yu Arin wasn’t particularly good at studying, focusing only on a few exams and aiming for average scores on the rest.

Yu Arin, resting her chin, stared intently at me.

Watching the grinning girl, wondering what I was going to do.

‘Victory is certain.’

I immediately took my pants off.

“…?!”

Yu Arin, startled, stared at me blankly. Sorry, but I was this determined.

If you’re not confident in winning, quietly have my child with Seo Yerin and Choi Yiseo.

‘Are you crazy?!’

Yu Arin, shocked, mouthed curses at me.

But it’s fine.

The guy next to us was already sprawled out asleep.

If that’s the case, just go outside and sleep; I don’t understand why someone would fall asleep during an exam.

Anyway, it’s fine.

Being in the back row, the professor only paces up to the front desk.

Of course, I didn’t pull my pants all the way down, just to my knees.

Although the underwear was fully visible, it wasn’t a big problem for me.

‘Victory.’

I straighten my shoulders confidently and look towards the blackboard.

If later on, Yu Arin and I have children together, and they ask how Dad wooed Mom.

I would answer with courage.

Yu Arin, blushing red, makes a flustered expression.

Sensing that at this rate, she’d end up in my bed tonight, crying out.

She grips the pen tightly.

The resolute eyes of someone who has made up their mind.

The moment the professor, who had been pacing and monitoring, turned around, she quickly slipped her hand inside her hoodie.

Soon after.

A black bra is held in her hand.

‘Uh, how is it?’

Yu Arin asks boldly, though shyly. But in the end, it’s still covered by outerwear, so haven’t I won?

But more importantly.

I asked something immediately, but the lip movement didn’t convey it well.

Eventually, I carefully wrote something with a pen on a test paper, then lifted it slightly.

- Is the panty black too?

This is important.

Very important.

In a situation where just a single panty might cause tension in my…object.

Yu Arin answered by raising her middle finger.

Too bad.

I thought she would answer.

But doesn’t this mean I’ve won?

I’m clearly showing my undies, while Yu Arin, though she took off her bra, still looks like she’s just wearing clothes from the outside.

Yu Arin, contemplating where to put her bra after taking it off.

‘You think you can challenge me with this?’

Though somewhat dissatisfied, the important thing is that there is no judge here.

If Yu Arin insists, it will ultimately be deemed a draw, which essentially means defeat.

‘I can’t miss this opportunity.’

Taking a deep breath, I tense my legs slightly.

As my butt lifts from the chair, I swiftly remove the remaining item.

When I sit back down, my bare bottom touches the chair.

“……”

Yu Arin, now staring at me with her mouth agape.

A look of disbelief at the unexpected scene unfolding before her eyes, unsure how to process it.

This much.

I want you this much.

To the extent of taking off my pants and underwear in a classroom during an exam.

‘I love you.’

When I confessed, her expression truly soured.

‘What kind of bastard confesses like that—’

I understood up to about there.

After that, she mouthed some curses, but they were too fast to catch.

However, my eyes kept drifting to the bra she was holding since earlier.

Yu Arin tugged at her clothes with one hand, seemingly uncomfortable with them brushing against her.

‘Ah, damn.’

It seems like it’s going to stand.

I hadn’t planned for it to stand here.

I decided to take a deep breath and think of unpleasant scenarios.

Like Chan-woo and a bald man kissing.

Or my second brother confessing his love to his sister-in-law.

As I was somewhat calming down.

I heard that there were only 5 minutes left for the exam.

I won.

Yu Arin had already lost her will to fight.

She kept glancing at her pants, but she couldn’t bring herself to do anything about it.

It was the triumph of love.

“Whew.”

Enjoying the joy of victory with a satisfied smile.

Perhaps because my pants were off, I even felt a sense of liberation.

“……”

“……”

I met eyes with the guy sitting next to me.

Even though he was wearing a mask, I could see his mouth wide open, having seen me without pants.

At that moment.

The back of his hand caught my eye.

I stood up immediately and naturally pulled up my pants.

“Professor! This guy is cheating!”

I wondered why he was lying down and sleeping here, but he was looking at a cheat sheet written on the back of his hand while lying down!

“No, wait a minute. This person was just without pants!”

Flustered, the guy shouted.

“That’s nonsense! You’re the one cheating, and now you’re making stories up! Can’t you see this!?”

I blatantly showed the pants I had just put on while standing up.

“I’ve never taken off anything like pants.”

Similarly, Yu Arin supported from the side.

The cheater eventually turned into a crazy guy spouting nonsense to avoid getting caught.

“Whew.”

I let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair.

I really thought I was screwed-.

“Since you got caught, I win.”

Yu Arin showed a V-sign with her hand and smiled slyly.

‘Damn it.’
