41 – Under the name ‘Friend’ (1)

“…….hah… oppa. Please do something else

Jeon Hui-ra, should I call it that?

It seemed like I wanted to touch her body and make her feel good.

There was no reason for me not to give her what she wanted.

“…Yes. I know what you mean.”

Jia’s expression brightened instantly at my words.

Frustration dissipated, replaced by anticipation in her eyes.

Her shoulders trembled slightly.

I became even more excited knowing that she desired me this much.

As Jia wished, I lightly stroked her back.

Jia shivered and trembled.

And she held onto my neck tightly, urging for the next move.

“And…keep kissing me, please…”

In response to her words, I kissed her again.

While doing so, I didn’t stop the movement of my hands.

With intertwined tongues, I began to explore her body everywhere.

Starting from her back, then her shoulders and sides.

I even traced along her arm lines with my hands.

“…Haa…chu-rip…heueuk…heueup!”

Whether Jia has sensitive skin or not, her body jerked every time my hands moved.

And even while kissing, she let out a strange moan.

Her reaction made me even more eager.

Continuing from her side, I reached the front of her upper body.

At first, I gently explored her belly.

“Heueup…ut…”

Jia had a slender figure with hardly any flesh.

Normally, girls, including Ha-yeon, didn’t like having their bellies touched.

But Jia didn’t show much resistance apart from occasional gasps.

My confidence started to build up.

Once aroused, my hands moved towards her chest.

Even though it wasn’t prominent under the fabric, I could feel a perky sensation.

If I rush, I might feel pain.

Therefore, I cautiously stimulated from the outside, drawing circles.

“Hah… Haaeup… Chuhrrip…”

Upon doing so, Jia’s breathing became rougher.

And still, there was no rejection to my touch.

I was certain that she also desired this.

I gently placed my hand on her chest.

Then Jia stretched out her legs and pulled my waist closer.

I began to carefully caress her chest.

“Huh… Heueut!… Heueueup… Chuhrrip.”

With a single touch of my hand, a sweet voice echoed through the room.

Continuing our kiss, as our breath became heavy, we separated our lips again.

Silvery drool spread out in the air like a thread.

“Haa… haa… I like it… I like you, oppa…”

Even while breathless, she expressed her affection towards me.

I gave her a response with my eyes, and we kissed once more.

The passionate kiss seemed unending for a while.

“… Are you okay, oppa?”

“Yeah. I’m fine. It stings a little though.”

An awkward atmosphere filled the room.

Jia and I were leaning on the bed, a distance of about 2 meters between us.

As excitement and heat subsided, embarrassment suddenly overwhelmed us.

It felt quite awkward to be in the same space as Jia.

“… I’m really sorry… I got carried away…”

“It’s okay. I said it’s okay, so stop apologizing…”

I slouched and hung my head low.

The more she spoke, the more embarrassed I became.

From her ears to her face, Jia was blushing bright red.

The reason was simple.

There was blood slowly trickling from my lips.

It was all because of what Jia had done.

Because she couldn’t control her excitement and bit my lips too hard.

The tense atmosphere, which had been building up, instantly dissipated.

“…Just because of me.”

Jia herself wasn’t experienced with physical intimacy, so it couldn’t be helped.

She kept apologizing to me for her mistake.

Saying that she ruined the mood or asking if I was hurt.

“Jia, it’s not because of you.”

“…Huh?”

“We couldn’t have kept doing that forever. You also have to go home.”

Honestly, it was a blatant lie.

But I wished Jia wouldn’t feel guilty about our first kiss.

Everyone is clumsy and makes mistakes at first, after all.

I wanted her to remember the kiss we had shared as a good memory.

“…Okay… If you say so… I’ll try to think that way, oppa.”

Well, she still had a gloomy expression, but…

Perhaps it turned out well in the end.

If I hadn’t interrupted the atmosphere earlier, I didn’t know if Jia and I would have gone all the way.

“It’s true. It’s better that it ended at that timing.”

“…Is that so?”

We weren’t even officially dating yet, so we couldn’t have gone all the way.

I didn’t want to regret being carried away by impulse.

“…I’m actually a little disappointed.”

She murmured to me with her head lowered.

My heart started racing unnecessarily.

…She shouldn’t say things like that. Does she really have no self-awareness?

I did not misunderstand the meaning of those words.

It was no different from me allowing it to happen.

Now, it seemed like she was pretending not to know in order to tease me.

“Let’s get closer slowly. We still have plenty of time to be together, right?”

Jia still seemed impatient.

But there was no need to hurry and close the distance like that.

Just getting physically closer didn’t mean our hearts would be closer too.

It felt like today we had taken a step forward.

“…That’s true. hehehe.”

She responded to my words with a bright smile.

The awkward tension seemed to have lessened a bit.

…Maybe this is how we should gradually get closer, step by step.

Thus, my relationship with Jia was deepening little by little.

*

A considerable amount of time had passed since then.

Exams were coming to an end, and the school was preparing for the vacation.

Jia and I were sitting in a café, expressing our sighs.

“…Jia, are your grades okay?”

“Well, they’re not bad as I thought, hehehe.”

“…Why…why…we played together…only you.”

I let out a sigh and buried my face on the table.

Jia looked at me with a wry smile.

She seemed quite satisfied with her grades.

“That’s why when we were studying for the exams, you should have dragged me to the computer room.”

“Hey, it’s too late now. Honestly, you did well too.”

“Oh, I don’t know. You’re my older brother. I did well, so it’s fine.”

This time, Jia and I studied together throughout the exam period.

During our study sessions, it felt like we were getting even closer.

Now, being together with Jia felt more familiar than being apart.

Although we met to study for the exams and went to the PC room.

“But you haven’t even seen it. Isn’t it just average?”

“Well, yeah.”

Honestly, the grades weren’t satisfying.

It’s not like they were terrible, like failing or getting a C.

I console myself with that thought.

“Speaking of that, what are you doing for summer break?”

“Me? Ah… I probably have to go back home this time.”

Jia asked me as she sipped her drink through a straw in front of her.

She must be asking because summer break is coming up.

Last time my mom said she wanted to see me, so it was time to visit.

“What about you, Oppa? My parents told me to stop by this time too.”

“Really? But we won’t be there forever. How long will you be gone?”

“Maybe one or two weeks?”

“Then I’ll probably be gone around the same time. We can see each other over break, though.”

It’s a little disappointing to part ways with Jia.

But I can’t stick around with her forever.

“…Too bad. I want to keep seeing you, Oppa.”

Jia looks at me with a cute expression and I tease her by pinching her cheek.

“Yeah, too bad. Let’s stay in touch often, okay?”

“Yes, we should. hehehe.”

She giggled while holding onto my arm.

We exchanged affectionate glances before checking outside.

The window had already become dark.

“Should we head home now? We’ve been here a while.”

“Yeah, I noticed you looking around earlier. We’ve been here too long after ordering just one drink.”

We returned the cups and left the cafe.

We walked together until the intersecting path and then shook hands and parted ways.

“I’ll contact you later! Oppa.”

“Sure. Be careful going home.”

She looked at her back with a pleased smile.

Then she turned around and headed home.

– Jiying. Jiying.

The vibration once again came from her pocket.

“…I really can’t stand that girl.”

Of course, I thought to myself, it must be Jia.

Since she was the one who became closer and contacted me more frequently.

It didn’t bother me much. I smiled and took out my phone.

[Yura, are you going back home this summer vacation?]

But surprisingly, that message was from Hayeon.
