My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

48 – 16. One Night Sea Trip with a Platinum Girlfriend -6

In the morning, I woke up probably at an incredibly early hour.

Even though it was midsummer, the room was chilly due to the air conditioner breeze left on all night, and I was still asleep with the blanket turned over my body.

Despite spending a long time embracing Ellie and overlapping lips until we fell asleep a bit late, I still managed to sleep before midnight. Looking at how sleepy I was now, I thought it might still be dawn.

And, there was an emptiness in my embrace.

The warmth that warmed my body enough was gone, and I couldn’t feel the hair that tickled my face.

However.

– Swish…

The sound of water came from the direction of the bathroom.

“Looks like Ellie is taking a shower…”

In a half-awake state, I guessed, and I thought Ellie would come out and wake me up.

Should I take a shower too and skip the morning walk? That kind of feeling.

So, I decided to clear my mind and try to sleep a bit more until then. If Ellie wants to go out, I’ll get up right away, but at least until then.

As I closed my eyes like that.

– Drip… Tap, tap…

With the sound of the door opening and the sensation of someone moving around the room tickling my ears, my body tensed and all my attention was focused on my ears.

It was inevitable. Just a moment ago, I heard the sound of the shower water, which disappeared, and now the door opened almost immediately afterward.

– Ssh, swish…

I heard the sound of a towel drying a body. The thought that Elli, who was lying beside me, would be naked behind me filled my imagination.

My drowsy mind awakened, and I suppressed the desire to turn around and lie on my back, feeling the heat spreading through my lower body.

Then the sound of the towel stopped, and the sound of clothes being put on followed.

-Swish

“…Ah. As soon as I get home, I have to wash my underwear.”

Elli’s voice mixed with a sigh, it seemed like I knew the meaning behind it.

And then the sound of a blow dryer filled the room. But it wasn’t as long as I thought it would be.

It seemed like she only roughly dried her hair because it would take at least an hour to properly blow dry her long hair.

Honestly, around this time, I thought she would wake me up and ask me to dry her hair, but Elli didn’t do that.

She finished drying her hair and turned off the blow dryer.

-Ssh

Right after that, the presence came closer. The blanket covering my body was lifted up.

– Cuddle up…

And with the scent piercing my nose, the warm body temperature returned to my embrace.

The silky hair tickled my face, and I felt Elli’s breath in front of my nose.

“Mmm…”

In that state, Elli grabbed my arm and pulled herself up. I pretended to be asleep and gently followed her actions.

That way, I once again held Elli in my embrace, and she wrapped her arms around me from behind.

-Sssh…

“Heh heh…”

With a strange laugh, she started teasing around my buttocks. At her subtle yet enticing touch, a shiver ran through my body.

And then…

“…Even your sleeping face is cute.”

-Mwah

With sincere and affectionate words, something soft touched my lips. At the same time, a moist flesh glided over my lips.

Afterward, Elli pressed her body even closer to me. She snuggled into my chest.

I felt the cute gestures, enveloped in the warmth filling the blanket.

Gently, I pulled Ellie closer, giving her a tight hug, and drifted back to sleep.

***

When I opened my eyes again, it was around 9 in the morning.

Ellie was still peacefully nestled in my arms, and after carefully detaching myself from her, I took a shower.

However, as I emerged from the bathroom,

“Who told you to leave me and go? Do you want to die?”

Ellie, who had apparently woken up, lay there with dagger-like eyes, uttering those words. I barely managed to swallow the words I was about to say, something like ‘You also showered earlier—’ in response.

It seemed like she had boldly bathed and dressed near me, and there was no reason to embarrass her by mentioning it.

So, I just apologized.

“Sorry. Want me to hold you again?”

“Hmph.”

In response, Ellie chuckled, opened her arms wide, and I embraced her, sharing a gentle morning kiss.

According to her muttered words, she might have changed her underwear, but the dolphin shorts and crop top remained as they were.

-Squish

I savored the softness pressing against my chest, the smoothness of our skin touching.

Afterward, Ellie washed her face, fixed her hair, and we changed into new clothes before heading out for a stroll.

It must have been around 11.

Even though it was almost noon, the streets were quiet, possibly because everyone had stayed out late.

We stood by the beach, warmly clasping hands, gazing at the horizon.

“I hope we can come on a trip like this next year too.”

Of course, this year was special, thanks to Beanie’s cousin’s house, so it might not be possible from next year onwards.

Still, I expressed that wish, and Ellie added a few words.

“I’ll come.”

With confidence, we pledged to take another trip, sharing a room and falling asleep together.

“How?”

“I don’t know. Somehow.”

“Oh, I see.”

There didn’t seem to be any clear plans, but for some reason, it felt like it could happen. That was the feeling I had.

Somehow, with a heart filled with joy, I gently turned my head to the side.

And there.

Gazing at Elli’s head, face, and eyes, brightly illuminated by the morning sunlight.

“Elli.”

“Yes.”

“älskar dig (I love you).”

I confessed my love.

My beautiful girlfriend, her face tinged with a reddish glow, looked at me.

“jag älskar dig också (I love you too).”

She responded to my confession.

At the same time, I pulled Elli into an embrace, and our lips met. Elli wrapped her arms around my neck and intertwined her tongue with mine.

Looking back, our one-night seaside trip, where it seemed like we only kissed, ended like this.

***

It was well past noon when my brother and Vini noona showed up.

Vini noona had a radiant, overly bright smile.

My brother, on the other hand, looked exhausted, with red marks all over his neck.

I didn’t know the details of what happened inside, but seeing them fist-bump amicably, it seemed like things were resolved.

Mostly thanks to Vini noona’s intentions.

“Hey, guys! I’ll treat you to something delicious, so let’s have lunch and head out!”

Vini noona, who always held a beer can in her hand with dark circles under her eyes, was speaking so lively and enthusiastically for the first time.

“You guys are such troublemakers… I brought you along to have some fun, and you end up playing with Vini…?”

My brother glared at us with resentful eyes, but… well, it turned out well in the end.

Moreover, it seemed like a lot had happened overnight, as Vini noona was now addressed as just Vini, without the “noona.”

“Sis, go talk to me.”

“Hmm? Should I?”

Thanks to that, Elli eagerly requested a one-on-one meeting with Vini noona.

I wonder what she wants to hear. I’m curious too.

Anyway, after enjoying the luxurious lunch provided by Vini noona, we returned home.

Since we were returning to Seoul during an ambiguous time, the highway was clear, and it only took us two hours to arrive.

Since everyone lived on the same floor of the same apartment, they rode the elevator together and said their goodbyes in the hallway.

“Get some rest, Jungwoo. You know, tomorrow…?”

“Sigh… I know. Since I know, let’s talk later. Let’s sleep for a bit.”

“Yeah~ hehehe.”

“I’ll unpack and go there, unnie.”

“Sure~”

“Thank you for your hard work, both of you. Nuna too!”

And so, they each went into their respective homes.

“I’m back~”

As soon as I returned to our cozy home, my mother, as if she had been waiting, began examining every inch of my body with concern.

“Doyoon! Have you been bitten anywhere? Did Elli do anything strange at night? Did you go to get bo-ssam?!”

“What strange things would I do? I didn’t do anything.”

“Well, that’s a relief…”

Kissing my girlfriend while falling asleep wasn’t a strange thing to do. Plus, we slept in the same room, so it wasn’t like I went to get bo-ssam.

I reassured my mother with honest words, without telling a single lie.

In truth, Elli did try to leave a kiss mark on my neck like a mark left on Jungwoo’s neck, but it wasn’t as easy as it seemed.

There was no trace left when I checked in the morning.

“I’m tired, so I’ll rest in my room for a bit.”

“Call me when it’s time for dinner? Or are you going out again?”

“Hmm… I think I’ll eat at home. Call me then.”

“Alright. Rest~”

On the day I came back home.

Elli didn’t come to meet me until dinner.

I also went to talk to Nuna Bini, and since I was tired from the long day, I just rested while playing on the computer after sending her a text to rest.

Of course.

Late in the evening.

As if it was a given before going to bed, she came to my room.

“kram.”

Wearing comfortable shorts and a t-shirt, she came with kram in her mouth.

I hugged this lovely platinum girlfriend and, as always, our lips locked.

Ellie and I discussed our plans for the rest of the summer.

“Next week, I’m going to the swimming pool with the kids… and then on Wednesday, I’m meeting Jungwoo hyung.”

“Have fun. I’ll be doing something with Isuyeon that day.”

“Okay. Oh, are you going to wear the new swimsuit you bought when we go to the beach with our families?”

“Probably. It’s going to be the end of summer anyway, so why not?”

“True.”

We would spend our time playing with friends here and there, but this was the general outline of our summer plans. We also had a fall photoshoot scheduled in mid-August, but that was just for one day.

Besides that, Mina noona suggested doing cosplay in the refreshing autumn, and our dad was planning a winter trip to Sweden. We talked about these things as we passed the time.

Then, out of the blue, Ellie casually said,

“I’m going shopping tomorrow.”

“Shopping? What are you planning to buy?”

She mentioned going shopping. It wasn’t surprising.

Ellie was at least the type to go shopping for children’s items for one day a week, if not more. And as someone who usually tagged along, I was quite used to it.

However, lately, we had been going shopping more often due to our beach trip, so I was curious about what else she wanted to buy.

Still, without thinking too much about it, I asked what she was planning to buy.

“Just underwear.”

“……Huh?”

“We’re going to buy couple underwear.”

“……”

“So, get ready to go out as soon as you wake up tomorrow. Until lunchtime.”

She dropped a bombshell statement that I couldn’t have imagined.
