My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

32 – 11. The Beginning of Us, Finally -3

In truth, I had contemplated various clever lines to set the mood, but none of them came to mind at this moment.

I simply conveyed my sincere feelings and confessed to my beloved childhood friend.

“……”

In response to that confession, Ellie did not immediately provide an answer.

But her expression was conveying all the answers.

The flushed cheeks tinted with a rosy hue, eyes that widened and then began to curve with happiness, and the corners of her mouth that lifted with a delightful upward curve.

A beautiful smile, like a blooming flower, adorned her face, making even the observer feel a happy heart.

And a moment later.

Slowly, Ellie’s crimson lips parted.

“……”

However, no words came out. Whether she was choosing her words carefully or sorting out her current feelings.

“……”

Her mouth opened and closed again. And while hesitating with her words, she finally spoke.

“…I like you too.”

In a slightly trembling voice, she responded to the confession.

In that moment, even though I had expected it, joy filled my tense chest.

To Ellie, who confessed with a beautiful smile on her face, saying that she liked me, I wanted to express this overflowing emotion immediately.

However, Ellie’s words continued before I could.

“Since I was 5… You’ve been mine, Lee Doyoon. From then until now, there has never been a moment when you weren’t mine.”

“Yes. That’s right. You were always mine.”

I agreed with confidence as they openly expressed their possessiveness over me.

Because I belonged to Ellie.

In the past, now, and in the future.

“And.”

And.

“I am yours. I was yours, and I will be yours.”

Ellie belonged to me.

“And, and…”

The corners of my childhood friend’s, no.

My girlfriend’s mouth trembled.

Unable to contain her laughter, with a face filled with excitement and─ she continued to speak.

“…Ah.”

She looked at the ring case placed on my hand that we momentarily forgot while exchanging confessions, and her eyes began to light up.

At the same time, her hands started fidgeting, revealing her desire for me to put it on quickly through her gestures.

Seeing that, I smiled, filled with happiness from the depths of my heart, and said to her.

“Will you give me your left hand?”

“…Hmph.”

While still smiling happily like me, she let out a snort with her mouth.

And then, slightly raising her chin and arrogantly extending her left hand.

“Put it on.”

As if it was a given task, she said while raising the corners of her mouth.

Although she displayed an attitude that was beyond a princess and more like a queen, it was cute enough that I wanted to embrace her immediately and kiss her.

Suppressing that desire, I opened the case.

Inside, there was a platinum ring that perfectly matched the name of the platinum princess engraved on it, and it was a silver ring that suited her very well.

-Gift

After that, I placed my left hand beneath Ellie’s pure white left hand, supporting it.

Using my thumb and index finger, I picked up the ring and slowly pushed it onto her slender finger, the ring gently catching onto the ring finger of her left hand.

Thankfully, the ring fit her finger perfectly and smoothly slid on as I twisted it.

Just like that, the diamond-like gemstone and the thin silver ring with a spiral pattern around it securely found their place on the princess’s finger.

“… Beautiful.”

Elly, with her arm outstretched, slowly raised her left hand and looked at the ring on her finger.

Unable to take her eyes off the ring, Elly seemed to be pleased with it, along with a brief comment.

“Give me your hand.”

After taking the ring out of the ring case, she grabbed my left hand.

Then, she put the ring on my ring finger.

In this way, identical couple rings adorned our ring fingers, and Elly held my hand while still wearing her own ring.

From that position, she looked down at me, who was still kneeling.

Without saying a word.

“…….”

“…….”

Having confessed our love and put the rings on each other’s fingers.

I also quietly looked at Elly, who seemed to want to enjoy this atmosphere, where the beautiful night view is shining in the darkness outside.

And then.

Elly’s eyebrows turned downwards.

In her eyes, which gradually became thinner and seemed to have some dissatisfaction.

“…what’s wrong?”

I thought, as I saw Elly’s lips moving restlessly.

Only then did I realize. Throughout the day, I had forgotten to do the most important thing, along with the confession.

“…….”

Feeling increasingly uncomfortable, I quickly stood up, facing Elly with a slightly awkward posture.

And with a bang.

I grabbed her shoulders.

At the same time, Elly’s expression immediately softened, and she gently closed her eyes.

Lifting her chin slightly and leaning in with her lips.

I, the prince waiting for my kiss, kissed the platinum, snow-white princess.

Slowly.

-Puck…

Our lips met.

However, unlike the usual playful banter, she slightly parted her lips.

The moment my lips touched hers, Ellie also opened her mouth in response.

Our noses touched, and our soft lips pressed against each other simultaneously.

“Chuwe… smooch…”

I extended my tongue, gently licking Ellie’s lips, engaging in a tender kiss as if drawing her essence.

Not a mere peck.

A kiss.

I could taste the lip balm, but before savoring it, the moist flesh inside her open mouth welcomed my tongue.

Soft and delicate.

Meanwhile, Ellie’s lovely tongue met mine.

“Chuwe… hmm…”

A shivering sensation surged through my spine.

I knew that sharing saliva with someone you liked and intertwining tongues could be enjoyable, but it exceeded my imagination.

Ellie’s hand gripped my forearm, pulling me closer as if reluctant to let go.

Her tousled tongue clung playfully to mine.

“Haah… nibble…”

Continuously exchanging warm breaths.

That’s how we shared our.

Romantic and sweet first kiss.

“Ride it one more time.”

When we disembarked from the Ferris wheel after completing a full turn.

Ellie, slightly disheveled, with a flushed face, breathed heavily.

She grabbed onto my collar and said, “Yeah, let’s do it again.”

Nodding in agreement, I quickly jumped off and bought another set of tickets.

It was a close call with the closing time, but luckily, I managed to purchase tickets just in time for our turn.

In a slightly dazed state, we stood in line again.

As we boarded the Ferris wheel for the second time.

-Tok

Ellie pushed me into the chair.

Then, leaning sideways, she pulled me close, sitting on my knees.

I embraced her body like that, and this time, she, with closed eyes, pressed her lips against mine.

“Gently… softly…”

She darted her tongue into my mouth, licking my lips, entering deeply.

But it wasn’t just mindless kissing; she occasionally parted her lips, touching foreheads in between.

“I love you, Ellie.”

I confessed those words several times.

Every time I confessed my love, Ellie softly smiled.

“Softly… gently…”

She kissed me, allowing the tingling sensation of her tongue to brush against my lips, cheeks, every time they met.

Thanks to that, during the 15 minutes on the Ferris wheel, my face became sticky with Ellie’s saliva.

Amidst my confession and Ellie’s kisses alternating, suddenly, the Ferris wheel was once again approaching its end.

Right before getting off, I confessed my love one more time.

“älskar dig, Ellie (I love you, Ellie).”

And then,

“jag älskar dig också (I love you too).”

I received the confession of love.

***

We left the amusement park with Ellie.

From the Ferris wheel to stepping outside Familypark to catch the bus, Ellie was no longer holding my hand but had her arm linked with mine.

– Firmly…

Wrapping her arm around mine, feeling the contours of my body against her forearm, I savored the happiness while not showing it outwardly, a noticeable sensation for a man.

There was a different feeling from before, as if the world’s scenery had changed, and we were clinging to each other as lovers.

“……”

“……”

For a while, there was no conversation, just relishing the aftermath of countless kisses, now as a couple.

Perhaps there was some embarrassment.

In the midst of my own tickling emotions, I couldn’t articulate the happiness of Ellie linking arms with me.

Afterward, we took the bus and arrived at the train station.

At the corner of the platform, sitting side by side on a chair, waiting for the KTX.

“Eli.”

When I called, Eli, who had meekly rested her head on my shoulder, turned her head.

Her flowing platinum hair, the blue eyes that contained me, her small and pert nose, and the red lips that we had passionately kissed.

She was so beautiful that without realizing it, I found my lips colliding with hers before I could continue speaking.

-Thump

It wasn’t like we were intertwining our tongues or anything, but it was a short kiss, similar to what we had done before with Beejoo.

But it was different.

Though they were similar, the kiss with Beejoo was still different.

I don’t know why.

Anyway.

Even without words, when we kiss, my heart flutters at the sight of my girlfriend, who raises the corners of her lips.

“Aren’t you cold? Should I take off your cardigan?”

Knowing that Eli was resistant to the cold, I knew she wouldn’t be freezing, but being exposed to the chilly night air, I worried as her boyfriend and said those words.

But upon hearing those words, Eli’s eyes, which were tracing a curve, furrowed.

“You fool.”

Suddenly, my girlfriend’s annoyance began.

What did I do wrong this time? Why is she furrowing her cute eyebrows again?

Instead of being troubled by my girlfriend’s anger, I responded with delight.

“Why fool?”

“Why do you want to take my clothes off when I’m cold?”

“Well?”

“Just hug me. Why do you want to take off my jacket? Then you’ll feel cold, won’t you?”

“Oh, I see.”

With those words, I realized that Eli’s anger was justified. My girlfriend was incredibly smart.

“Well, alright then. Just let go of my arm for a moment. I’ll hug you.”

Admitting my mistake, I asked Eli for a favor.

But.

“Do you want to die?”

Once again, Eli’s threat continued.

“If I hold your hand, can’t I hug you? I told you not to let go of my hand today. Are you really going to die?”

“Oh.”

Since it wasn’t going to be cold anyway, I was planning to sit side by side and hug your shoulder like this, but it seems like that’s not what Ellie wanted.

And truth be told, I was already crossing my arms instead of holding hands… Instinctively, I knew that it wouldn’t be good to provoke my girlfriend by insisting on the facts.

Anyway, as I kept angering Ellie in succession, I made a mental note not to make a third mistake.

“Ellie. Will you sit here?”

I tapped on my knee as I spoke. Like when we kissed on the Ferris wheel, telling her to sit on my lap.

“Hmph.”

Then, finally, with a look of approval, Ellie snorted and stood up from the bench to sit next to me.

As she shifted her body, her arms uncrossed, but her hands still clung to mine.

Using my remaining hand, I pulled Ellie closer by her waist and enjoyed the pleasant weight on my thigh.

And Ellie, who was now looking down at me elevated eye level.

– Swoosh

She tilted her head to the side, using one hand.

“Ah… Kiss…”

She started kissing my lips. Not just once, but continuously, with our eyes locked.

“Ah, ah…”

Meanwhile, Ellie and I naturally let go of the hand that I had been told not to release today.

I embraced Ellie with both hands, and she clasped my neck.

“Mmm… Smooch…”

As if releasing the desire that we had been suppressing all this time, our tongues intertwined again. Mixing saliva, our lips overlapped.

Just like earlier, I didn’t think it was dirty at all.

It was just sweet.

Ellie’s tongue swirled inside my mouth, and I vigorously moved my tongue inside hers. I couldn’t describe how thrilled I was.

Like that, we…

Of course, even though there were hardly any others around, even if someone was watching, we were solely focused on this kiss.

We spent that time, and after 30 minutes.

We received bad news.

“There’s a problem with the train tracks, causing delays… and the last train has vanished?”

The train that was supposed to take us home had disappeared.
