My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

34 – 12. Eli’s Rules of Love – Part 2

He was speechless at the unexpected question, one he had never expected to hear again after bravely overcoming his embarrassment in the third year of middle school.

Since that day, she had never asked about such things.

“Uh… uh…”

Eli’s eyes, shining with a blue color, made it difficult for him to tell the truth, and yet he had promised himself not to tell even a small lie a moment ago.

Thanks to that, I stumbled over my words like a fool.

“Speak.”

Eli urged him with a look that said she already knew everything. He realized there was no escape from her direct gaze.

But now that he thought about it again, she probably didn’t believe that he really hadn’t seen it back then.

Eli wasn’t a fool, and she probably wouldn’t believe that only he, out of all the guys, didn’t do it.

But even so, he couldn’t just obediently nod his head, so he opened his mouth while avoiding her gaze.

“I, I plead the fifth…”

“Do you want to die?”

Of course, he couldn’t back down. Eli’s voice began to contain a sense of aggression that suggested he better not talk nonsense.

If he persisted unnecessarily, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences, so he eventually confessed.

“I’m sorry… I saw it…”

“Hmph.”

When he confessed with his head down, unable to meet her eyes, Eli snorted and began to interrogate him.

“How much did you see?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did you see so much that you don’t even know how much you saw? And you even lied to me last year?”

“……Yes. I did.”

“Huff…”

With his honest answer, Eli let out a deep sigh. For some reason, it felt like it relieved her anger, and he wondered if she might unexpectedly forgive him.

So he cautiously raised his head and looked at Eli.

“Yi Do Yoon.”

“Okay.”

“How should I kill you?”

“…Can’t you spare me?”

In response, I cast my eyes down again.

“You say you like me, but you watch porn and lie about it.”

“……”

“What’s that? You tell me not to watch it when I’m here…”

“I made a mistake.”

“If it was a mistake, then what now?”

In an instant, the atmosphere, once enjoyable and playful, turned into a courtroom scene.

I pleaded my mistakes repeatedly while waiting for the judge’s verdict, and Ellie continued to corner me.

After about 10 minutes of one-sided arguing, Ellie finally grabbed me by the collar.

-Crack

“Hold on… It’s not a good idea to grab your boyfriend’s collar from now on…”

“Shut up.”

“Yes.”

“Yido Yun.”

“Yes.”

Forcing me to raise my head by gripping my collar, Ellie stared at me with eyes burning a blue flame and spoke.

“If you watch porn in the future, I’ll…kill you.”

The sentence that was expected to continue with “…will kill you” didn’t come to an end.

She stopped halfway and tightly closed her eyes.

-Shivering

Ellie’s hand gripping my collar began to tremble. I could feel her effort to restrain her anger in that shake.

“Heh… Alright. Men… can’t help it after all…”

“Ah, no, that’s not… If you don’t like it, I won’t watch…”

“Is that possible?”

“……”

Honestly, isn’t it difficult?

“Do you really want to die?”

It seemed unnecessary to speak up and disrupt the peace, so I sealed my lips again.

But then Ellie, with a toss of her bangs in frustration, exhaled a heated breath and opened her mouth.

“Yi Do-yoon.”

“Yeah…”

“Men can resist watching adult videos even without seeing them, right? Is that true?”

“…”

Having a conversation like this with a girl I’d just started dating felt like being in hell.

“Is it true?”

“It’s possible…?”

“Well, then.”

Before continuing, Ellie’s cheeks flushed crimson.

And then Ellie said, “If I were to show myself in a bikini… could you resist watching?”

“…”

She made an amazing deal.

The moment I heard that, my mind immediately conjured up an image—a slightly provocative bikini-clad Ellie.

And against my own will and intentions…

“I could resist.”

That’s the answer that slipped out of me. Unable to contain the surging desire, even though it was just a bikini she had mentioned wearing in the summer anyway.

I realized what I’d said too late, but perhaps it was still possible.

Ellie in a bikini, revealing her fair skin here and there.

If we were to embrace each other and share a kiss like today’s.

Wouldn’t that alone be enough to resist?

Maybe sensing the sincerity and honesty in my response, Ellie finally relaxed her expression.

“…Alright then, since I’ll show you soon, hold out till then.”

“Alright… wait, but isn’t ‘soon’ this summer?”

“I’m going shopping this month. I’ll start selling them soon. Anyway, it’s a promise. Break it, and you die. Both you and your computer.”

“I won’t watch, I promise.”

With that, I made a somewhat grounded promise to Ellie.

Of course, that confidence crumbled before the year ended, but at that moment, I couldn’t foresee that fact.

***

Though momentarily cooled by the decision not to lie.

“Hmm…”

Like a couple who just started dating today, we quickly resumed our sweet atmosphere by locking lips.

If it were before we started dating, if we were still just childhood friends, Eli probably would have probed longer, pouted more.

But I made a promise, and in doing so.

“As long as I have you, that’s all I need.”

“I’ll believe you, just promise to see me again…”

“Eli.”

“……”

– Smack!

With those words, a few pecks on the lips, and Eli’s lip curled up in no time.

While indulging in kisses mixed with the sweetness of mocha.

“One last thing.”

I heard Eli’s final dating rule.

Recalling the previous rules that had made my heart beat in various ways, I leaned in with a bit of tension in my ears.

“Ten times a day.”

“Yeah.”

“Say you love me.”

“……..I love you.”

Speaking with a serious face as if it were a truly important matter, I was momentarily stunned by the crazy cuteness, then quickly regained my composure and said it again.

“I love you, Eli. Really, I love you.”

“Hmph.”

“I love you.”

Until now, I had expressed my liking for Eli, but I had never said I love you. It wasn’t a word suitable for childhood friends, so even if I had those feelings, I consciously refrained from expressing them.

In this moment, that restraint completely unraveled.

There was a bit of regret. I should have said I love you when confessing, I thought.

“Jo, okay. Don’t forget to say that every day…”

“I love you.”

“…Huh.”

Ellie’s eyes and lips trembled uncontrollably, and eventually, she burst into laughter.

Upon seeing that, I pulled Ellie closer to me. Naturally drawn to my touch, Ellie nestled in my embrace, and we faced each other with our foreheads touching.

“I love you.”

My confession of love didn’t stop.

Instead, it continued now with this confession.

– Page

A brief bird kiss was added.

“I love you.”

– Page

In this manner of confession, one after another, and with no time to catch our breath, Ellie eagerly pulled me in, wrapping her arms around my neck.

“I love you.”

– Page

And after my confession and kiss, this time it was from Ellie’s side.

“I love you too, Lee Do-yoon.”

Love was confessed.

“Chuup… Haup… Page…”

While covering my lips with her own moist and soft lips, she gave me a French kiss rather than a bird kiss.

As Ellie kissed my upper lip as if she wanted to devour it, I felt a shiver of pleasure and held Ellie even tighter.

– Moan

Enjoying the contours of our bodies intertwined.

“Haah… Chojjok… Chup…”

Sharing our saliva like two precious childhood friends, we indulged in happy and sweet kisses.

In addition to the rules of dating, we continued talking even after getting on the train, until the time we had to depart.

“I heard that the boss there wanted me to be a swimsuit model. They said they would consider it…”

“Hmm… A swimsuit model?”

“Why?”

“Do you not want to?”

“…Wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t do it?”

“I don’t mind anything else, but the swimsuit feels a bit awkward. It’s because I want to be the only one looking.”

“Heh, well… anyway, if we go to the beach, it’ll be visible to everyone.”

“I’ll definitely be by your side there. There will be at most dozens of people. But if you’re a model, thousands, tens of thousands will see. I find that a bit uncomfortable.”

“…”

“But if you want to do it, I can’t help it…”

“I won’t wear a swimsuit.”

“Is that okay?”

“I wasn’t really keen on that anyway.”

“Thanks. I love you.”

“If you’re grateful…”

“Ah.”

-SFX

“Is this okay?”

“Hmm.”

She also talked about not taking swimsuit model jobs for me.

“We’ll probably arrive around 10, so shower and sleep by then. Wake up at 2. I’ll come to your room at 3.”

“Only four hours of sleep?”

“If you sleep too long, you won’t sleep well tomorrow night.”

“Oh, I see. Got it. But what are we going to do?”

“…”

“Sorry. Is it this?”

-SFX… Blush…

“Sigh… Don’t keep asking if you know.”

“Ellie.”

“What.”

“I love you.”

“…Just kiss me.”

“Mm… Mwah…!”

Immediately, not tomorrow, but also the story after returning home today.

“This is my profile picture.”

“Yeah.”

“This is the waiting screen.”

“Yeah.”

“This is the lock screen.”

“Yeah, I’m done.”

“Don’t change it until I tell you to change it to something else.”

“I won’t touch it because your picture is beautiful.”

Then, not only the profile picture but also the phone’s background and lock screen were controlled.

The profile picture is a photo of Elly and me, showing us together as a couple.

The waiting screen and lock screen are photos of Elly that she picked from her album for 30 minutes, and they are really nicely taken selfies.

Of course, Elly also set her phone to my picture on her own.

Up until now, we didn’t make it so obvious that we were childhood friends, so there was no need to hold back anymore.

We talked about this and that, and played around, and before we knew it, we had arrived in Seoul.

Leading our gradually exhausted bodies, Elly and I boarded the subway with our arms linked and returned home.

“Sleep well. I love you.”

“You sleep well too.”

“Goodnight.”

“Goodn…”

As we affectionately said our goodbyes, we passionately exchanged kisses and hugs more intense and deep than before.

“See you later.”

We went to our respective homes.

In the morning, we were childhood friends.

But now, we’re lovers.

***

And a few days later.

A weekday in mid-May.

After school, I was being led by Elly, who had something planned, with Isuyeon.

“Which one of these two do you think is better? Tell me.”

“……”

“Kikik… What are you doing, Doyoon~ Elly is asking.”

“Hurry up and choose. We’re going to look at other things too.”

“No, but…”

In front of the women’s swimsuit display at the department store, a public execution was taking place.
