My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

42 – 15. Welcoming Summer -3

As I threw such a question to Ellie, my mom’s eyes narrowed, scanning the surroundings.

Caught in the gaze that reached me first, even more shocked and flustered than my mom, I couldn’t show any reaction.

No, really, I don’t know anything, what am I supposed to say?

“…Right. Our son wouldn’t do something like that.”

Whether she sensed sincerity through my transparent response, my mom turned her head away.

Towards the two women beside her.

“…”

“Why… Why was it there?”

Ellie’s eyes showed unrestrained agitation. Next to her, even Yerin, who never lost her composure and warmth, was sweating coldly.

Without further inquiry into the two, who were like that,

“…”

Not in her usual lively and noisy mom-like manner, she looked silently, which was quite scary.

After about a minute of this, seemingly unable to continue like this, the aunt opened her mouth to help Ellie.

“Ji-eun. I bought that for you.”

“…”

“You two are always so close, and you never know what might happen. It could be inconvenient if you don’t have it at that time, right?”

“…”

“Besides, it’s been a while since I bought it, and it seems like it’s still untouched. Ellie, thinking about you and Dad…”

“Quiet, Jeong Ye-rin.”

“Uh…”

However, with the mother’s chilly words, the older woman closed her mouth quietly again, and Ellie still couldn’t say anything.

But it’s not like I could say anything. Regardless of the atmosphere getting a bit serious.

‘Condom… Isn’t that famous? Ellie… Oh, could it be on this trip…?’

There was no end to such imaginations.

Is Mom angry? You can tell by looking. But I believed it wouldn’t lead to a big conflict in our relationship, between family members.

Even though she didn’t directly say ‘don’t have s*x!’ to us, both Mom and Dad hoped that we wouldn’t until we became responsible adults.

I knew, and Ellie knew it too.

So, even as the atmosphere became uncomfortably sticky, we didn’t think about such things.

It was natural to endure as if it were taken for granted.

Of course, the moment I saw that condom, I couldn’t help but imagine such things.

And in the silence that fell again.

“Sorry.”

Ellie finally spoke. With words of apology, so submissive.

“…”

Upon hearing that, Mom’s body twitched slightly.

They were always close, like friends who chatted easily, so Ellie apologizing so obediently was rare… No, it was the first time.

Following that apology, Ellie seemed about to say something else.

Suddenly, she looked at me and said, “Ido-yoon, stay at home.”

“Ah, yeah. I’ll do that.”

It was a confusing command.

With that, I nodded and stood up from my seat.

I was curious about what conversation would take place, but the atmosphere that had sunk even further made it a bit difficult to endure.

Although I was the party involved, it wasn’t a matter I could intervene on when it came to condoms. Frankly speaking, if Ellie expressed her desire for it, I could prioritize that.

But if she didn’t, I had decided that I wouldn’t lead Ellie in that direction as her boyfriend until we turned 20.

Because we were still young, I didn’t want to ignore the feelings of our loving families.

Therefore, regarding this issue that arose at this time, it was a problem that Ellie and our mother had to solve.

I picked up the condom, excluding the other items that had fallen on the floor, put them back in the pouch, grabbed my bag, and returned to the room.

And as soon as I entered the room, I did some searches on the computer. About types of condoms.

Not because I intended to use them, just out of pure curiosity…

“Wow, the one Ellie had was expensive.”

Was it what a real lady gave her?

Like that, until Ellie came to get her belongings after the matter was settled, I studied about contraceptives.

The world of condoms, with prices varying depending on their thinness, was very interesting.

After seeing off her boyfriend, Ellie faced her future mother-in-law head-on.

And she continued the conversation that had momentarily stopped.

“Mom did buy it, but I asked her to. I’m sorry. But I’ve never used it. I had it, but I never thought of using it.”

“….”

“I don’t want to force myself to use it, even to the extent of fighting with you.”

“Fine. I’ll believe that.”

Hearing the sincere and honest apology, Song Ji-eun nodded her head. But her face remained stiff.

Not because of anger, but because of the mother-in-law’s appearance that was filled only with sorrow.

Sometimes it could feel annoying, but Ellie, who occasionally found her future mother-in-law cute, felt that she was not trying to scold her for no reason, so she pouted instead.

“That condom, I was carrying it just in case I couldn’t resist Do Yoon-hee… But it seems like he’ll definitely resist…”

“You’re always tempting our son, aren’t you? Afraid he won’t be able to resist? Do you want me to scold you for real?”

“But in the end, we didn’t do it. I bought that months ago.”

“This naughty girl…!”

Although Ellie’s words seemed to provoke a little bit in this situation, as Song Ji-eun listened to them, she finally broke the heavy atmosphere and started arguing as usual.

It was with her son’s girlfriend, who pushed back her platinum blonde hair and looked straight at her with blue eyes, extending her pretty red lips like a duck.

She also knew.

How much they loved each other, and how they were always together.

She was aware that she couldn’t watch over them every day and that the two of them could cross the line without her knowing.

Nevertheless, Song Ji-eun knew that they were considering their own intentions or Mark’s intentions.

17 years old.

An age when you know everything, but at the same time, it was a difficult age to control your own emotions.

But the moment she saw the condom, a feeling of unease filled her to the very end. That’s why she was upset.

It was distressing to assume that she had expected something she disliked.

What was even more distressing was being excluded among the three women, secretly buying such things.

She knew that when Lee Doyoon went back home and the moment only the two women remained.

She could comfortably vent her embarrassment in front of her son.

“How can they buy those things just excluding me? I… sigh.”

“I’m sorry, but if I tell you…”

“I’m just going to keep it, but if I tell the lady, she won’t let me keep it.”

“Why do you keep it! You can just not do it! You purposely make our son unable to endure it while wearing such clothes!”

“When I chose this, the lady also said it’s pretty! She said it suits me well!”

“That’s different!”

The voices slightly raised as if arguing with a friend, but paradoxically, the atmosphere became more relaxed.

At the same time, Jeong Yerin released her slightly worried thoughts, laughed, and fueled the fight between the two.

“But isn’t Doyoon really a good child? Even when Ellie was running towards us in a bikini, he resisted.”

“…Wait. What? Bikini? She wore a bikini? Saying she’ll wear it at the beach? When?”

“I showed it to her in the room the other day. That, black bikini. Not to wear it at the beach.”

“Even showed it? In the room? Just the two of you? Ellie, you’re really…”

“But even though she wore it and kissed, she didn’t touch me. Doyoon.”

“…Does Doyoon have some kind of problem?”

Song Ji-eun also knew.

The black bikini Ellie bought, saying it’s s*xy and beautiful, not to wear it at the beach.

That revealing swimsuit that shows off her figure and skin, when Ellie showed it to Jeong Yerin, they exclaimed in surprise, saying how can someone wear this~

She was infuriated by the news of showing off that bikini in front of her son, but even after seeing it, and even kissing in that state, she didn’t touch her.

As a foolish mother, Song Ji-eun couldn’t help but have such doubts.

Ellie, the prospective daughter-in-law, had grown up so beautifully at the age of 17, and her beauty blossomed like a fully bloomed flower.

Moreover, Ellie, who even to another woman had an almost perfectly sculpted figure.

“How could I not cover it?”

Even her mild-mannered husband couldn’t hold back when the young Song Ji-eun wore a bikini in her youth.

Therefore, a genuine concern arose about the son’s condition, large enough to worry sincerely.

However.

“So! Judging by his reactions and what he says, it’s not that he doesn’t have such thoughts, but it’s definitely not like that…”

“…Really?”

Upon hearing Song Ji-eun’s muttering, and Ellie’s exclamation empathizing with it like an echo, Song Ji-eun, judging that there was no issue with her son’s s*xual function.

“hehehehe… Yes… Our lovely son understands his mom well, right? How cute, handsome, and kind Doyoon has always been. That’s right. I’ve always trusted our son.”

Suddenly, the situation became quite pleasant.

Although the presumptuous prospective daughter-in-law had done something regrettable and unpleasant in her heart, it was delightful that the most important son understood her feelings.

Ellie’s fox-like actions had served as a means to confirm the son’s virtue.

“Right, Ji-eun~ How good is Doyoon? He understands his mom’s heart too.”

“Well~ That’s right~ No matter how much you tempt and seduce, our Doyoon will never give in anyway.”

“….”

The sulky expression from a moment ago disappeared, and Ellie felt very uncomfortable as she looked at the suddenly self-satisfied Song Ji-eun.

It was fortunate that the prospective mother-in-law had relieved her resentment, but it was a fact that Doyoon had endured and not crossed the line even with her bikini attire.

Her pride as a woman was slightly tarnished.

However, Ellie didn’t show her anger.

She endured it. For now.

“Doyoon has always liked older women…”

“You know that too? Well, you couldn’t not know!”

“So, I’ll just carry condoms around. Since I won’t need them anyway.”

“…Hmph. Fine, carry them! But if you use them by force when Doyoon doesn’t want it, that’s unforgivable, you know? I won’t tolerate that.”

“I won’t touch him first. I promise.”

“Alright. Then I’ll allow it.”

“…Hmph.”

“…Hmph.”

As if fighting, as if reconciled, the prospective mother-in-law and prospective daughter-in-law restrained each other again.

Watching the two getting along well, Jung Ye-rin clapped her hands together and changed the subject.

-Clap!

“Come to think of it, what’s good to eat in Daecheon? Ji-eun, remember when we used to go to the beach there together when we were kids?”

“Yeah? Oh, there… Wasn’t the raw fish soup delicious? But Do-yoon doesn’t like it.”

“Vini unnie said the clam barbecue was good, how about that?”

“That sounds good too. Wait, there was a decent place…”

***

And the next early morning.

I carried a somewhat spacious duffel bag, while Ellie had a relatively small bag as we left the house.

“I’ll be back!”

“Take care.”

“Come back safely. Eat lots of delicious food. Jung-woo, take care of our kids.”

“Yes, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of them.”

“hahahaha… With Jung-woo around, everything feels so secure. Please, take care~”

“We’re here too, you know.”

“Vini, drive safely. Don’t drink while you’re there. Got it?”

“No drunk driving~”

“Yeah…”

As if gathering like relatives, we exchanged lively greetings in front of the house.

And then, we set off.

“You guys in the back seat, take a nap or have fun.”

“Thanks.”

“Then, let’s go~”

A one-night seaside trip with Ellie.

By the way, it felt a bit awkward to ask, but I wonder if he still has condoms?

It seems like he and Mom resolved it well…

I’ll sneakily ask later.
