My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

40 – 15. Welcoming Summer

Passing May and entering June. And then July.

During that time, Elli and I went on countless dates.

We had already done almost everything as childhood friends, but now as a couple, as a girlfriend and boyfriend, we enjoyed it in a new way.

Even when strolling near our house.

-Snap

Elli crossed her arms in front of me as if showing off to people around us. And she started to focus more on couple items than before.

Whether it’s matching outfits or wearing shoes that are the same, she had the feeling of matching.

“Should I hold the bag?”

“Yeah, you take it. I’ll just check my phone.”

Without any hesitation, entrusting me with the bag and occasionally leaning on me while attending to other tasks.

We even took photos like we used to, but this time, they were more provocative, maybe due to her work at the fitting model studio.

“Smooch… There.”

Capturing moments of her firmly pressing her lips, me pulling Elly from behind, planting kisses between her platinum blonde hair onto her cheek and neck.

And then…

“Shh… Stay still. I’m shooting just like this.”

We took shots while she hugged me, burying my head towards her upper chest, even though she was wearing a T-shirt this time. It lacked the impact compared to that moment when she embraced me in a bikini, yet the softness was enough. Especially around my neck, completely nestled in Elly’s chest…

“…”

Honestly, it made me happy.

We even visited the movie theater, something we rarely did.

Despite the pricey tickets, Elly generally preferred quiet places for just the two of us. There was no need to go out specifically to watch a movie; she preferred watching movies at home or even better, in a room cafe.

But unexpectedly, she suggested going to the cinema.

“It’s a couple’s seat…”

“Is that an issue?”

“No.”

We picked seats without a middle armrest.

There we sat side by side, watching a B-grade romantic comedy.

I extended my arm around Elly’s shoulder while she leaned into my embrace.

Well, Elly had zero interest in the movie.

I found it surprisingly funny and enjoyable, so I was genuinely watching it. Yet, my girlfriend was either clinging to me or…

“Smooch… A bit more…”

She kept pressing her lips against my cheek and jawline as if they were glued on. I didn’t expect them to detach like they were attached with adhesive.

And sometimes, I’d turn my head…

“Smooch!”

I kissed Ellie, who had her lips stretched out like a duck.

But around the middle, when I briefly focused on the movie and didn’t pay attention to her.

“Haljjak…”

“Eut… Ellie…”

“Haljjak, haljjak…”

Frowning her eyebrows, she started licking my cheek with a moist tongue. It was as if she was asking why I was watching the movie without looking at her.

Of course, we came to the movie theater to watch a movie, so it wasn’t that difficult to understand why Ellie came to the movie theater either.

A loud sound echoes in the dimly lit place, illuminating the other person slightly.

I, of course, felt the tingling sensation in my heart when we looked at each other in this romantic atmosphere that can be considered typical.

So, even though I kissed her lips earnestly from time to time, it seemed insufficient for Ellie.

“Choo-oop… Haljjak…”

It was as if she was drenching my chin with saliva like a cat.

Helplessly, I gave up on the movie and looked at Ellie.

Then, even in this darkness, my platinum girlfriend, who shines noticeably, stuck her tongue out between her lips.

It was not a tease. It was an undefined pressure telling me to kiss her already.

I also stuck out my tongue and our lips met, touching her little flesh.

“Ssuck, chewwup…”

Our breath mixed with our tongues, saliva, and Ellie hugged my neck, gradually raising her leg onto mine.

Since the couple seats next to us were empty and it was the last row, and there was no one in front of us either.

The tragedy of the unpopular B-movie became a perfect assist and further stimulated Ellie’s actions.

“Jjok, jjook… Howoom…”

Ellie straddled my lap, tightly hugged my neck, and passionately kissed me.

This was our movie theater date.

I realized it later on.

The basis for Ellie’s choice of movies wasn’t whether they were interesting or not, but whether there were many or few people watching. It was whether there were people around the couple seats or not.

Anyway.

While continuing these small dates, I didn’t neglect my preparations for mock exams and final exams.

I didn’t go to any academies or anything like that. It was just like during midterms, studying through online lectures while doing part-time work.

Of course, the playtime with Ellie 30 minutes before it ended didn’t change, even though we were in a relationship.

However, the kisses we shared during that time didn’t escalate to deep kisses.

If it were a stranger, they might not know, but even the teacher or friends might not know that Ellie doesn’t kiss like that here, no matter how much she is.

In the first place, they didn’t kiss that much, and they often held hands with each other.

-Swish, swoosh…

Ellie really liked it when I touched the ring finger of her left hand that she was wearing.

Even if she pretended to take it off as a joke, she would open her eyes wide, but if I lightly touched it and made her feel the presence of the ring, she would suddenly smile.

And while that was happening, Isoyeon, who had been discreetly watching us since 30 minutes before it ended, was doing the same.

[Isoyeon: LOL]

[Isoyeon: Ellie is so cute LOL]

She often showed a trembling appearance as if she was being teased. Ellie doesn’t seem to notice.

Well, like that.

From a distance, it’s just the repetitive life of high school students, but up close, it’s the affectionate daily life of me and Ellie that never ends.

Before I knew it, the mock exam was over, and the final exams were approaching their end.

“How was it? Did you do well?”

“So-so. How about you?”

“Great. I think I did really well on this final exam.”

“You did well. I’ll give you a reward, so wait in my room for dinner.”

I focused on studying diligently until I played with Ellie every night, and this time, Minjae’s past exams were also a big help, and my luck also followed, so I did well on the test as expected.

Then Ellie said she would give me a reward and came to my room the day before the final exam. Anyway, on the last day, we only had English left, so there was no need to worry.

That evening.

-Thud, click!

When Ellie came to my room, she immediately locked the door.

-Swish

She took off her clothes.

In response to her saying she would give me a reward, she came to me wearing only the black bikini she showed me last time.

-Sigh…

Now it’s a weather that can be called midsummer. Thanks to that, I only wore shorts and a thin short-sleeved shirt, so Ellie’s smooth body felt even more vivid.

Ellie’s chest pressing against my chest, and the texture of Ellie’s thighs touching my thighs.

And we kissed in that state, and it ended with Ellie embracing my chest.

-Squeeze

Honestly, around the time when I started thinking of explicit videos, this chest hug was a big help to me.

In various ways.

Once again, Ellie patted my head and, as if tempting, added words.

“Mmm… Jungwoo oppa persuades well.”

“……”

“If you want to sleep with me when we travel…”

Upon hearing that, I made a resolution.

Even if I had to kneel, I would definitely persuade Jungwoo hyung.

***

And the next day, after the final exams.

We gathered with the water park members Soyeon had decided on and planned our schedule. Fortunately, there was no one who couldn’t make it.

Since it was a water park to be visited on the same day, there was no need to discuss details. We just matched our schedules, and decided when to go after confirming the dates that worked for everyone.

As a side note, I also took the opportunity to see Yang Jiyoon’s face, who attended a different school alone.

“Then, let’s meet at Seoul Station at 7 p.m. on August 4th. If you’re late, we’ll leave without you, so make sure to come on time!”

Minjae said he gets motion sickness a lot, so we decided to take the ITX train. Just in case, I reserved the train tickets right away. For now, I paid for everything with my abundant money, and later we can settle the bill.

Under Soyeon’s command, the meeting seemed to end smoothly.

Before parting ways, Chaeha called me.

“Idoyoon.”

“Yeah?”

“If you two are just playing around with your fists that day, I’ll just drown myself in the swimming pool, so keep that in mind.”

“……”

“We’re going to play together, so let’s play together. Agreed?”

“That’s right.”

Unexpectedly serious, Chaeha’s words made JInwoo nod beside me.

It was a bit awkward to hear that she would drown herself instead of me, but I understood the meaning.

If we’re going to play together like they said, it would be a bit awkward if Ellie and I were just fooling around by ourselves.

“Got it.”

So, I replied. Ellie pouted slightly, but she didn’t say she didn’t want to.

After Chaeha, Jinwoo added a word.

“Oh, right. Hey, Sung Minjae. Don’t come wearing your anime T-shirt or something.”

Although the tone sounded like he was teasing, it wasn’t intended to pick a fight. Thanks to the connection centered around me, they also got to know Minjae to some extent.

Minjae isn’t just an ordinary otaku; he’s an incredibly deep one.

“Uh… not possible?”

“….”

“….”

As Minjae made a surprised expression, as if really asking if it couldn’t be done, we were at a loss for words.

As much as it’s his preference, we want to respect it to some extent, but still.

“I knew it would be like this. If you come wearing that kind of stuff, I’ll dive into the pool and drown myself, so be aware of that.”

“No, but why are we the ones drowning when these guys are the ones doing something wrong?”

“If we fight, we’ll lose.”

“Fine, let’s say that’s true for them, but why Minjae?”

“I wouldn’t dare touch him if he comes wearing some character T-shirt like that Nazuko or whatever.”

“Ah.”

Well, there was a bit of a trivial argument like that, but our water park plans with friends were settled without any major issues.

After returning home.

This summer, more than anything important.

For the overnight beach trip with Elli.

“Fighting~”

“If you can’t persuade him, you know I’d rather die than let him go.”

With the encouragement of Bini noona and Elli, I approached Jungwoo hyung, whom I had already called into the apartment hallway.

And.

“Hyung.”

“What?”

“During the summer, you know…”

I first made a direct request.

To go to the beach with Elli, with the help of Bini noona, it seemed possible to have a legitimate overnight trip. I asked him to come along as a guardian so that our parents could feel reassured.

“But if noona is going, why do you need me?”

Jungwoo hyung, who had been listening to me in his half-asleep state, expressed a reasonable question.

It was certainly a valid point, but I had a justification ready.

“Noona is a bit… as a guardian. Hyung knows too. It’s about parents’ trust…”

“Ah.”

Our parents and Elin’s parents, being close to me and also neighbors, meant I knew Binie noona and Jungwoo hyung well.

Thanks to that, I knew Binie noona drank a lot, although she didn’t show it much, but Jungwoo hyung was different.

He had been in a band since high school, smoked secretly, had the appearance of someone who loved to have fun, which he did, but not just in looks.

Yet, he was incredibly responsible, got along well with the neighbors, excelled in his studies. He even got into a good university.

That’s why the parents had a lot of trust in him.

“Hmm. I don’t have much going on around then, so I don’t see why not…”

After hearing the story, Hyung seemed to consider for a moment before giving a positive response.

“You’ll go?”

“I will, but there’s one condition.”

“A condition?”

Jungwoo hyung placed his hand on my shoulder and chuckled.

“Give me just a day of your time during the break.”
