My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

43 – 16. One-Night Seaside Trip with the Platinum Girlfriend

The road to Daecheon Beach by car wasn’t that long.

“Sis, how long will it take?”

“Well, the navigation says about two and a half hours~”

Considering some traffic, it’s a distance that doesn’t take more than three hours.

Half of the journey to the Gwangju amusement park was taken with Elli on the KTX. Thinking about it, it felt like we had traveled quite a distance just to ride the Ferris wheel.

Still, Elli was so happy, so it was good.

“Until evening, let’s grab something to eat roughly near the beach… How about grilled clams for dinner?”

“Yeah, sounds good.”

“Well, that’s fine. We’re not going on a gourmet expedition anyway.”

Jungwoo, who kept us company in conversation to keep Binnie noona, the driver, and the driver from getting bored.

During the time we spent in the car.

We had our own time.

-Squish…

Elli held my hand and leaned on me, lifting her pretty bare feet from her sandals to gently press my foot.

From the black shorts matching our couple look to Elli’s white legs extending down.

At the end of those legs, Elli’s small foot, playfully touching my foot over the sandals like a gesture of affection.

“Elli.”

“What, does it hurt?”

“No. Your feet are pretty.”

“….”

-Squuush…

The pressure on my foot increased slightly. In response, I took off the sandal on the other foot and lightly overlapped it on Elli’s instep.

As if Elli’s foot was sandwiched in the middle, she placed her remaining foot on top of mine.

“….Hmm.”

Playing such a small prank, Elli looked at me with a slightly raised mouth and turned her head to face me.

Her mischievous and cute face filled my field of vision.

Although the desire to overlap our lips for a moment arose, I suppressed that feeling because my brother and sister could see through the rearview mirror.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Her words were blunt, but Elli’s eyes, full of excitement for this beach trip, were beautifully curved.

Her lightly made-up face shone even more beautifully, and her plum-like lips were incredibly enchanting.

Her eyes, shining blue like the sea, seemed to draw me in.

Her body stood out on the white couple T-shirt given by the boss, and Elli’s figure constantly captivated my gaze.

Her nose was covered with Elli’s fragrant scent, and the hands we held were incredibly soft.

Even in this simple game of overlapping feet, Elli’s affection and playfulness could be felt.

Realizing all of that, a strange thrill crept over me, making my heart swell with a peculiar sensation.

Thanks to that.

-Snap!

My uncontrollable heart moved my body on its own. I impulsively kissed Ellie’s lips.

“Ugh…”

Ellie blushed, letting out a short moan. At that moment, her pupils flickered momentarily.

But my brother and sister paid us no mind. After confirming that, Ellie narrowed her eyes at me.

“Why?”

I nonchalantly asked why.

After all, Ellie’s eyes revealed no emotion other than affection.

As expected, Ellie’s lips curled up into a deep smile, the frown turning into a rich grin.

It was as if I could read what Ellie was thinking.

“Dare to do something cute?”

A similar feeling, perhaps.

-Swish

Ellie completely turned her body towards me.

Sitting beside me, she looked at me with eyes ablaze with blue flames.

Like a predator catching its prey, she grabbed my cheek with one hand…

“Alicia, refrain from letting Doyoon devour me in your car. Save that for later, either in your car or in a room.”

“…Ugh.”

“Look at how scary that is. Is she coming for revenge in the middle of the night?”

“What are you talking about? Oppa to noona… Ah, I don’t know.”

Unfortunately, our actions were belatedly noticed by our sister and brother, who then intervened.

With a sigh, Ellie gave up on the kiss. However, she pulled me in, embracing me tightly.

Ellie’s platinum blonde hair flowed down over my cheek and shoulder, her scent enveloping me more strongly.

And my arm, caught by Ellie…

-Whoosh…

Slipped between Ellie’s clothes, nestled between her chest.

Perhaps, at this moment, it was the happiest arm in the world. I swallowed my saliva, savoring the soft touch.

Though we hadn’t reached the sea yet, for me, it was already the best sea trip of my life.

We arrived at Daecheon Beach.

There was a slightly congested section in the middle, so it took a little over three hours, but it was not a big problem.

We got out of the car for a moment before going to Bini’s cousin’s house, to enjoy the beautiful sea that was visible nearby.

“The weather is nice~”

“This is the first time I’m going to the beach with this group.”

The weather was fantastic, just as Bini exclaimed.

The far-off expanse of blue horizon was beautiful, the midsummer sunlight was comforting, and the salty scent of the sea made us realize that we had truly come to a summer beach.

And the feeling of holding hands with Ellie while looking at that view.

“It’s really nice.”

“It is… yeah. I like it…”

What more can I say. It was the best.

Ellie, too, seemed to be intoxicated in the present moment, staring blankly at the sea.

“Ellie, let’s take a photo, okay?”

“Of course, why wouldn’t we? Come here.”

In response to my suggestion to take a selfie, Ellie naturally leaned her back against my chest.

-Tightly

I hugged Ellie’s waist like that and quickly took out my iPhone.

-Click!

We took a commemorative selfie.

As I looked at the screen, seeing both my platinum girlfriend and myself in the photo, a smile spread across my face.

“Now let’s go~ Let’s put down our luggage and go to the beach!”

After enjoying the sea breeze for a moment, we got back in the car.

We arrived at a accommodations that was a short distance from the beach, where we could easily walk back and forth.

“What is this? It’s much better than what I saw in the photos. They said it was old and run-down. What a waste.”

“It’s complicated~ They said they will demolish and build something new nearby soon.”

As Junwoo hyung said, the building was very neat. It looked a little worn out when I and Ellie looked at the photos, but now it seemed just as good as any other pension after some repairs.

It wasn’t a tall building, rather, it was a homestay with multiple rooms arranged side by side on one floor.

We followed Bini nuna and inspected each room one by one.

“There is a bathroom and a washing area in each room~ Not only us, but other relatives also use this place once in a while during the summer, so they have cleaned it thoroughly.”

Unfortunately, there was no bed, but the room was clean and perfectly prepared with a TV, air conditioning, and blankets provided according to the number of people.

Although the room was not very spacious, it was large enough for two people to sleep comfortably.

Since there were about six rooms with a similar feel, it didn’t take long to look around.

“Well, as for the rooms…”

After roughly going around, Nuna Bini began assigning rooms while clearing her throat.

I also glanced at Jeongwoo and Elli, watching how Nuna Bini would persuade him.

“Why bother thinking so much? You guys are going to sleep in the same room anyway, right? Hey, you guys just grab a room yourselves.”

With a snort, Jeongwoo casually told us what we were hoping for.

“Wow, how did you know?”

“I came on a trip with my girlfriend for one night, so it’s obvious. Don’t do anything too intense on your own, and if you’re going to do something, don’t let your parents find out.”

“As expected, Jeongwoo has sense~ Then, should we consider the kids and share the room on the opposite side with me?”

“Nuna can take the last room. I’ll take the room next to it.”

“Why not share?”

“Why share?”

“We came to the beach, so let’s have a drink together before going to sleep.”

“We can have a drink and sleep separately.”

Casually, Jeongwoo and Nuna Bini moved to the opposite room, leaving us behind.

For a moment, we were flabbergasted. I was thankful, but I didn’t expect them to casually give us a room like this.

Of course, it was still a thank you.

“…Should we go in?”

“…Sure.”

Holding hands with Elli, we entered the room at the very end.

We didn’t go to the corner room to do anything intense. It was just consideration in case Nuna Bini and Jeongwoo ended up like that.

Seeing Jeongwoo’s stubbornness, it didn’t seem easy, but Nuna Bini would handle it well.

We put our bags in one corner and somehow both of us nervously glanced at each other.

“……”

“……”

I don’t know.

We clearly came with expectations, but now that we were alone in the room, we felt strangely tense.

They had been in the same room and honestly shared the same bed quite a few times.

Perhaps due to the situation of a one-night stay at a travel destination, it was difficult to bring up a conversation as usual.

-Tok, tok…

Thanks to that, we unpacked our bags in silence.

Toiletries, swimsuits, towels, and so on.

Slowly taking out the things to use and wear.

-Glance, glance…

We kept stealing glances at each other.

“…We’ll head straight to the beach, right?”

“Yeah.”

“We’ll change into swimsuits here…”

“There will be a crowd at the changing rooms. We should change here.”

“Is that so?”

“Why are you asking the obvious?”

“……”

“……”

The conversation we barely exchanged was incredibly awkward.

While earnestly contemplating how to break this atmosphere,

-Zziiing!

A call came from Vini noona.

-Beep

“Hello?”

─ Doyoon~ Unpack your luggage~ Um… let’s meet in front in 30 minutes. Oh, and change into your swimsuit before coming out~

“Oh, yeah. Got it.”

─ hehehe, and make sure to apply sunscreen! The sun here is no joke~

“I will.”

-Duduk

“Who was it?”

“Vini noona. Let’s meet in front in 30 minutes, wearing swimsuits.”

“Alright…”

“Ah, she told me to apply sunscreen and come out.”

“…Alright.”

For some reason, Ellie’s cheeks seemed a bit redder, but I, who had no mind to pay attention to that, took out a swimsuit from my bag.

There was nothing more to unpack. I only needed my smartphone and a waterproof case, and I could take out the rest when needed.

“I’ll quickly change in the bathroom and go out first with my swimsuit.”

I said to Ellie as I lifted myself up with the swimsuit in hand. It was awkward and embarrassing to talk right away, so it was difficult to have a conversation.

But then, me, like that.

“Just change here.”

“Huh? You can change in the bathroom… Oh, you can change in the next room. If you want to…”

“Just turn around and change.”

“….”

Ellie objected and suggested an inefficient method.

Come to think of it, the next room was also empty, so whether I or Ellie changed separately, it would be more convenient to put on the swimsuit.

With a flushed face, I was drawn to the inefficiency my girlfriend had mentioned.

“…Should I?”

“…Yes.”

Ellie had already taken out a swimsuit in her hand.

So, we agreed, turned our backs on each other, and started changing clothes.

-Swish! Swish…

Actually, as a man, it only took me a second to change. Just take off the pants and underwear at once and put on the swim trunks.

-Swish, Swish…

In an instant, as I changed into the swimsuit, there was the sound of clothes flowing down, the sound of undressing.

I stood still, focusing on the sound coming into my ears. As a man, I couldn’t help but concentrate.

My body gradually warmed up, and tension built up in my lower body.

-Plop… Swish

Listening attentively to the sound of undoing, taking off, dropping, and putting on.

Inevitably, I imagined for a moment that my beloved girlfriend was momentarily naked behind me.

With a tense body, I waited without even breathing for a moment.

The sound stopped.

“Are you done changing?”

I asked her with a slightly trembling voice. Soon, a brief answer came back.

“……Yes.”

“Can I turn around?”

“…Y-yes, turn around.”

Elly stuttered.

I thought the reason was simply because she was nervous about changing clothes in the same room as me, just like I was.

So, without any suspicion, I turned around.

“…Oops! S-sorry!”

As soon as I turned around, I immediately apologized while swallowing my breath at the sight. I turned my body again. My heart pounded as if it would burst.

What I just saw was Elly’s back.

Nothing was worn, a white and pretty back.

Since her hair was all swept forward, there was nothing covering her back. In that state, Elly, who was just turning her head slightly, surprised me. Even though she allowed me to turn around, it felt like I had done something wrong.

But Elly didn’t get angry.

She simply opened her mouth with a cheerful voice.

“What are you doing?”

“W-what, what do you mean…?”

“I told you to put on sunscreen.”

“Sunscreen… Uh, I need to apply…”

“You should apply it to my back.”

“That’s…”

Is that so? I felt like I should help with her back…!

To me, who was recently the most surprised and extremely bewildered, feeling dizzy, Elly’s words continued.

“Hurry up and… put on sunscreen.”
