My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

21 – 07. Weekend Activities with the Platinum Blonde Childhood Friend – Part 2

As Ellie personally swept her hair back, I kissed her delicate earlobe that seemed too beautiful to be exposed like this.

Several times, just like that.

“Chirp, chirp…”

“Ung…”

At first, Ellie, who had let out a slight moan resembling a scream, gradually relaxed her body, enjoying my kisses and turning into a quiet cat.

Her hand overlapped mine on top of my wrapped around her waist, her ear and cheeks turning red.

I realized, amidst the fragrance emanating from Ellie’s luscious platinum hair and body, that I was gradually getting intoxicated, just like that day.

The wonderful scent and the softness of Ellie’s body.

“Chirp…”

Lost in the kisses, I absentmindedly opened my mouth slightly and lightly nibbled on her ear.

“Um…”

“Heek… wait, wait… Yoon Idoyoon… hng… don’t… eyes closed…”

Carefully biting her ear with my lips, Ellie’s voice became even cuter.

Despite telling her it’s not allowed, she didn’t avoid it, but instead, she held onto my hand even more firmly.

With strength in that, I recalled the Valentine’s Day morning when Ellie had playfully licked my cheek.

“Haljjak…”

“Heeyak…!”

I lightly flicked her ear with my tongue inside my mouth. At the same time, Ellie shivered and let out a scream similar to that moment.

Each and every one of them was cute, so my actions did not stop.

I loosened the arms wrapped around her waist, raised my hand, and grabbed Ellie’s chin.

Then, slowly turning her face towards me, I also turned my head a bit more to the side, detaching my lips from her ear.

“Haeu…”

As a result, Ellie’s blushing side profile, not resisting my touch, was laid out in front of me.

Looking into her eyes as she stared at me, I slowly pressed our lips together.

“Chirp…”

Although our positions were not perfectly aligned, the feeling of a kiss was still there, touching from the corners of our mouths.

No, it’s not.

Come to think of it, this wasn’t a kiss.

Just…

It was simply something that we were still doing, not just in the morning and evening.

“Hmm…”

Even Ellie was gently extending her lips.

-Lean in, lean in…

And I kept bumping my lips against hers.

It was just a peck.

But…

-Swoosh

Perhaps Ellie suddenly became impatient, she turned her body back.

Wrapping her arms around my neck.

“Lean in…”

Pressing her lips against mine directly.

“Chjok, lean in…”

And then repeatedly overlapping several times.

After pecking more than ten times in less than a minute.

“……”

Suddenly, as she slightly opened her mouth and approached.

‘Ah. This is a kiss.’

That’s what I thought.

Opening my eyes narrowly, blushing, and sticking out my tongue slightly, just like in a drama, in that face that was getting closer.

I realized that the first kiss, which I tried to initiate but couldn’t, was now about to happen.

‘Well, whatever.’

But along with the thought of whether it’s necessary to insist on having it in a special mood on a special day, as I was about to accept her kiss.

-Ddara-raran ddararang~

The sound of the intercom rang.

“……”

In that moment, Ellie’s eyes, which seemed a little dreamy and disoriented, suddenly became tense and her face turned fierce.

The mood was shattered.

I almost burst out laughing because even this reminded me of Valentine’s Day. I held it in because I thought Ellie might get angry.

“The intercom camera seems to be broken. Should I go check it out?”

“…I’m here. I’ll go.”

Ellie got up from her seat and approached the entrance. Since there seemed to be a problem with the intercom screen, she didn’t see anyone and had to check for herself.

Feeling the lingering presence of Ellie’s perfume on my lips, I turned my head in that direction, wondering who could have come this weekend.

After a while, when she opened the door, what I saw was…

– Thud!

“What is it? Were you here too? Is Doyoon inside? Hold on for a moment…”

It was Jungwoo hyung.

– Clang!

As soon as Ellie confirmed it, she immediately closed the door, making it clear to her brother that he was an unwelcome guest.

– Knock, knock, knock!

I could hear the sound of knocking on the closed door, but Ellie ignored it completely and came towards me.

And then she grabbed me by the collar.

-Gasp!

“Ugh! Why me…”

“Why did that human come here all of a sudden today?”

“Well, I don’t know either… Ah, he asked if I would be home yesterday and today, and I said I would be. But I don’t know why he came…”

“Do you want to die?”

“But we didn’t even make plans to go out separately…”

“Huff…”

With a face mixed with annoyance and anger, Ellie let out a sigh. She must have known that her brother’s sudden visit was strange, and that it was not me who was strange.

For a moment, quietly calming down her anger, she released her grip on my collar.

“Let’s eat something.”

Of course, now that the mood was already shattered, Ellie didn’t seem to have any more plans as she headed towards the kitchen with those words.

She didn’t even care about the movie that was still playing. She wasn’t even watching it to begin with.

“Will you make it for me?”

“I’ll make what I want to eat.”

“Thank you.”

“Hm.”

Elli wraps an apron around herself to prevent One Piece from getting dirty. Surprisingly, we had a separate apron specifically for Elli at our house.

Our mom, of course, didn’t bother using something like that, but Elli would always wear it whenever she cooked because she didn’t like her clothes getting dirty with food or oil.

We had one at our house because sometimes when our parents weren’t around, Elli would occasionally make something for me to eat.

Elli has been making homemade chocolates with a lady every Valentine’s Day since a long time ago, so she had learned how to cook over a long period of time.

It seemed like she wouldn’t touch anything domestic, but surprisingly, she enjoyed cooking and was very skillful at it.

Thanks to that, she stood in the kitchen like that.

-Tightly.

After tying her hair into a ponytail, Elli started cooking.

“….”

Honestly, I didn’t think much about it. I was just pleased. Right now, it was only occasionally, but I thought that I would be able to see her like this every day in the future.

And in the meantime, I quickly checked my phone for messages.

Among the many messages piled up in group chats with friends and personal messages, I opened the real-time message from Jungwoo hyung.

[Jungwoo hyung: What are you doing?]

[Jungwoo hyung: Why are you so serious again today?]

[Jungwoo hyung: A date?]

[Jungwoo hyung: It seems like your parents aren’t around either]

[Me: Yeah]

[Jungwoo hyung: You didn’t do anything today, so I thought we could go to a karaoke together]

[Me: I didn’t know either hahahaha]

[Me: Let’s go next time]

[Jungwoo hyung: Just bring her along to the karaoke]

[Jungwoo hyung: Forget it, what are you doing?]

[Jungwoo hyung: How about tomorrow?]

[Me: If it doesn’t work out, I’ll text you]

[Jungwoo hyung: OK]

After having that conversation, just as I was about to put my phone down, it vibrated once again.

[Jungwoo hyung: Can you open the door for a moment?]

Without any thoughts or suspicions, I went to the front door and opened it for a moment.

A mere glance was not enough to understand, and that’s why I was curious.

-Thud

As soon as the door opened, Jungwoo leaned his face inside and shouted towards Ellie in the kitchen.

“Alicia! Are you really going to marry Doyoon with that temper?! Control your temper a bit!”

“…?!”

I was taken aback by the shout. I couldn’t have imagined that he would ask Ellie to open the door just to provoke her.

And this was from a brother who was already in his twenties.

“Well then, I’m off. Take care. See you tomorrow.”

Especially, seeing him say just that and immediately run away, I was momentarily dumbfounded.

-Thud

He disappeared, and the front door closed.

At the same time, glancing at the kitchen with a stiff gesture, Ellie, who was taking out frozen pork cutlets, was also looking in my direction.

“…”

The eyes with disappeared light and the veins on her forehead revealed Ellie’s anger.

I quietly lowered my eyes.

It wasn’t my fault, but… no, was it a mistake to open the door even for a moment?

And, 30 minutes later, on the kitchen table.

Cutlets so finely cut that it could be considered a crime scene, and ketchup scattered all over, were placed.

Still, it tasted good.

***

After eating, we went outside for a stroll.

But we didn’t wander far; we sat in a nearby private cafe we often visited, each with a cup of Americano, and talked.

“Do you really want to try being a fitting model?”

“I wanted to try it at least once. Besides, these days, I want to buy clothes, have fun, but I’m short on money.”

“Isn’t the first photoshoot next weekend? Should I come with you?”

“…No. I’ll go with my mom.”

“That’s a shame. I’d like to watch too.”

“I’ll take you later, so don’t come on the first day.”

“Got it.”

Ellie, who used to talk about trying to be a model, is now actually working as a fitting model.

Actually, I wasn’t really interested in becoming a full-fledged model, but I wanted to try being a fitting model to earn some money.

However, I was still only 17 years old and didn’t want to start just anywhere. Fortunately, our dad introduced me to someone.

It turns out that the family member of one of his colleagues runs an online shopping mall, so they connected me with them.

From there, I received Eli’s photo and begged them to bring her along because they said they would generously pay for my part-time job.

I wondered if it was really true, but it seemed like it could be.

Eli has a pretty face, tall height, and a perfect body.

“It’s just taking some pictures wearing clothes… It’s not a big deal.”

And as the shooting day approached, Eli had a mix of anticipation and anxiety.

I think she will do well… It’s natural to be nervous because it’s her first time.

“Well, you just have to stand casually because that’s what models do. You’ll do well.”

“Hmph, of course.”

Encouraging Eli like that, we talked for a while about everyday things.

-Tak

Suddenly, two bagels were placed on our table.

Curious, I turned my head, and the young cafe owner smiled brightly.

“It’s on the house. Please come often in the future.”

He said that.

We were regular customers, but did we deserve to receive something like this? It made me feel uneasy.

“Thank you. We’ll enjoy them.”

“Thank you.”

Still, I bowed my head to express my gratitude. But the owner, instead of leaving right away, spoke to Eli… No, to me.

“If you ever want to try part-time work, let me know. I will definitely hire you at least twice the minimum wage.”

“Um… I’ll consider it.”

“Please. You can work for a short time during dinner hours…!”

He wasn’t without ulterior motives.

Maybe he heard about Eli’s fitting model story. Since it’s usually when our allowance is low, did he assume I would be interested in part-time jobs?

After giving a small smile in response to his sincere offer, I watched as the owner went back inside and then shifted my gaze to the warm bagels.

And just as I was about to use the fork and knife that Eli had brought for me to help me eat comfortably.

-Crack

Without warning, Eli’s hand reached over the table and grabbed my collar.

“Now accustomed to Ellie’s habit of grabbing my collar, I looked at her quietly, not even surprised anymore.

What could it be this time?

“Don’t work at the café. If you do, you’ll regret it, for real.”

“…”

“Answer me.”

“I won’t do it.”

It was about controlling her part-time job.
