◈ My Platinum-Blonde Childhood Friend Is Too Pretty ◈

Chapter 104: 40. A Busan Trip Where You Can Only Touch Your Girlfriend's Chest, Thighs, and Butt -2

──────

The tinting on our Ray wasn't all that dark. Right around the middle, really.

The previous owner had left it at that for safety reasons, and we hadn't touched it beyond that either.

Romance was romance, but safety came first for us too.

That said, on the slim chance that certain things might happen, we had stocked up on plenty of clip-on curtains to cover every window and gap between the seats.

And right now.

I was genuinely starting to wonder if we needed to put those curtains up, because Elli was kissing me with the same unhurried thoroughness she had at home, working her lips and tongue against mine with real intent.

For over ten minutes straight.

By the end my mouth was thoroughly coated in her saliva, and only after she'd made that much of a mess of me did she seem satisfied enough to let go of my face.

"Haah..."

"...Did you get your fill?"

"My fill? What are you talking about. You were the one begging for a kiss, so I gave you one. You're the one who wagged your tail at me, so why are you even asking?"

"Ah, right. You're right. Thank you for the kiss, Elli."

"Hmph. Did you get your fill?"

"One hundred and twenty percent."

I had asked for a kiss, sure, but I hadn't expected it to go that deep. I figured we'd peck each other's lips a few times, maybe one proper deep kiss, then get back on the road.

She was framing it as if I'd begged and she'd graciously given me the most passionate kiss of my life, and I just nodded along.

It had been good. That part was true. The "wagging my tail" framing felt a little strong, but still.

Then I noticed, almost as an afterthought, that my hand was still resting on Elli's wide thigh.

My hand, kneading her gently, was steadily stoking the heat between us.

"......"

"......"

The look we exchanged grew warmer for it, and the mood had tilted into something distinctly charged, but.

We held back.

We could still hold back.

* * *

Since we were already stopped, we got out and walked around the rest area for a bit.

More than an hour behind the wheel had left me stiff, and since we were there anyway, we figured we'd use the restroom and grab some gimbap too.

Whether it was because the Ray was a compact car or because it was my first time driving long distance, it definitely wasn't easy.

Still, though.

"If we stop at rest areas often and stretch our legs, I think it'll be fine."

"We're switching off driving halfway too. If you're really worn out, just swap with me at Okcheon."

"No, no. I'm actually enjoying it. Let's switch at Gimcheon like we planned."

"Suit yourself."

Chatting with Elli, singing along to songs, the drive had been so lively that I didn't feel anywhere near as tired as I probably should have.

We'd be stopping at rest areas along the way, and I wasn't driving alone since we'd be swapping halfway.

And besides.

"Your kiss cured me. I feel like I could drive all the way to Busan by myself and still be fine."

"Give me a break."

"I mean it. Just let me handle the whole drive, you can rest."

"No thanks. I want to try driving on the highway too."

"Then you're driving. But it really is fun."

Elli's kisses had the side effect of getting me worked up, but they also cleared away fatigue like some kind of cure-all. I'd heard once that kissing wasn't just an exchange of affection that made you happy, it actually had health benefits too, and right now I absolutely believed it.

Talking about all that, I walked a loop around the rest area with Elli's hand in mine.

"Is it okay to hold hands, though? You said I can only touch you in three places today."

"When I'm the one holding on, it's fine."

"Ahh."

"You have a problem with that?"

"No. Not at all."

Completely one-sided, but that was exactly what was cute and charming about our Elli.

-Peck!

Sticking to the terms she'd set, I moved only my face, not my hands, and pressed a little kiss to her soft cheek.

"I'm being good, right?"

When I said that, fishing for a compliment, the corner of Elli's mouth curved upward.

"Keep it up."

"I will. Should we grab one coffee to share on the way out?"

"Americano."

"Obviously. Let's go."

We wandered around lazily, all lovey-dovey. A little walk, a coffee from the cafe.

Elli's platinum hair caught the sunlight and shimmered brilliantly, drawing eyes the way it always did, though honestly that goes without saying at this point.

When that platinum hair hit your field of vision, your eyes naturally drifted to her pretty face and perfect figure next. It was just the natural order of things.

I got struck dumb by her every single day, so there was nothing to be done about other people.

Still, I wanted to keep my girlfriend to myself as much as possible, so we decided to eat the gimbap in the car rather than the rest area restaurant.

We settled into the back seat side by side, close together, and pulled the lunchbox out.

"Ahh."

"Ah..."

We each picked up a piece and fed it to the other, chewing contentedly.

-Smile.

Without any signal, we both looked at each other with soft, crinkled eyes, as if to say the other was adorable.

And then, inevitably.

"Smooch... mwah..."

"Lick..."

Our lips met, and we lapped at the little smears of oil left at the corners of each other's mouths.

While that was going on I tried to slide my hand back to Elli's thigh the way I had earlier, but the lunchbox was sitting right on her lap and I couldn't manage it.

So instead, with no other option.

-Squeeze...

"Ahngh..."

I kneaded her chest.

Through the T-shirt and the bra, cupping and pressing with one hand a few times, I then pulled back and looked at her.

"Elli. Should we put the curtains up?"

I'd held back before, but after getting one good squeeze in, holding back was no longer an option.

I wasn't planning on doing anything too out of line, but a few more cars had parked nearby and someone might catch a glimpse of our more-than-mild skinship.

A quick peck was one thing, we did those outside all the time, but anything beyond that wasn't something we'd ever done in front of other people, and I didn't want to start. Honestly I'd been a little anxious about it even before.

Elli glanced around at her surroundings, then pushed the lunchbox aside.

Her face was flushed, probably from the kisses and from my hands.

"Let's put them up. We've never tested them outside a parking garage, so this'll be a good trial run."

"Okay. I'll handle the front seat windows and the middle curtain."

"Be thorough. You know that, right?"

"I know, I know."

We got to work right away.

Simple-patterned and light-colored, but the fabric was thick enough that nothing showed through from the inside.

The side windows and the trunk area were sealed with no gaps, and for the front windshield, rather than covering the glass itself, we hung a long curtain just behind the driver's seat, just enough to hide the back seat from view.

You could technically cover the windshield too, but doing that was a little too on-the-nose, basically announcing to everyone that something was going on inside. So the curtain went across the middle instead.

It still gave off a bit of that vibe, but it was far less obvious than blocking the front glass outright.

Side windows were a different story, since plenty of people block those for sun protection and no one really pays attention when those are covered. And if the curtain was across the middle rather than the front, apparently most people wouldn't think twice about it.

The kind of tip that only made sense once you heard it, courtesy of Bini-noona's personal experience.

It was a little fussy and took some doing, but it wasn't as time-consuming as it sounded.

Before long the back seat was completely enclosed on all sides.

"It's not as dark as when we tested it in the parking garage."

"Light's coming in a little from here and there. It's perfect."

-Click.

Elli smiled with satisfaction and snapped the lunchbox lid shut for good.

We'd each only had one piece, but neither of us was starving, and this clearly wasn't the time for gimbap.

For obvious reasons.

We were outside.

In the car.

With all light and outside eyes cut off, just the two of us in a dim, narrow space.

"......"

"......"

There was no way our minds weren't going somewhere warm and wanting.

It was so much more exciting than I'd imagined.

The space was cramped and awkward to move around in, but if anything the awkwardness just made it burn hotter.

I had told myself we'd just kiss and be a little handsy, nothing more, but that wasn't going to happen.

So instead we.

"Hngh... Lee Do-yoon... mmm... mwah..."

Pressed into each other with more urgency than before. Turned sideways toward each other, hands roaming, stroking, squeezing.

"Haah... smooch... hmph..."

-Smack.

"You... are you not going to behave?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry. I won't slip up again."

"Be good... mmhh..."

I'd unconsciously gone to pull Elli's shoulders toward me again and got lightly scolded for it. That she even noticed in the middle of all this.

My hand dropped down and traced over her backside instead, and her hands started at my shoulders and moved across my torso.

The same kind of unhurried, teasing touch as right before we have sex.

"Hnngh... haah... mwah..."

Pressed that close together, tongues touching, sharing each other's breath, trading glances, tasting each other, it was only natural that our bodies grew warmer.

And so my hands, working her round, supple backside, began to drift.

From there to her thigh, then slowly upward.

Not over the T-shirt. Under it.

Sliding along her smooth bare skin, climbing higher, until reaching the bra and then...

-Soft give.

"Hahngh..."

The moment my fingers sank in, a sound escaped from her lips.

-Slide.

Meanwhile Elli's hand had already slipped inside my T-shirt and was gliding softly along my lower back and spine.

Small, slightly cool, and delicate. With every stroke, my lower half responded without end.

Before long.

"Haah, haah... Lee Do-yoon... I can't hold on anymore..."

"Me neither..."

"......"

"......"

We both said it between ragged breaths. But going all the way still felt like a step too far.

We had a long way to go to Busan, and spending too much time here wasn't ideal. And even with the windows well covered, there was still that low hum of unease in the back of my mind, the feeling that full focus would be hard to come by.

Elli seemed to be thinking along the same lines, because she didn't suddenly climb into my lap or anything like that.

Instead, quietly.

-Ziiiip.

She started pulling down my zipper, and the moment I felt that, I took my hand off her chest and worked open the button on her jeans.

Then I slipped my hand inside, and asked for permission.

"Elli. Can you give me one more spot?"

A boyfriend who follows the rules.

Elli pushed her hand inside my pants and answered.

"What... mmhh... up to there... that's the thigh..."

"Got it."

"So hurry... hnngh..."

If Elli says it's the thigh, it's the thigh.

After that.

We pulled out of the rest area forty minutes later.

And we were each wearing different underwear and pants from when we'd arrived.

Even without going all the way, what we got out of the experience was a thorough understanding of just how inconvenient and messy things got in a car.

Still, though.

Honestly, it was good.

In that tight, dim space, my girlfriend, breathless under my hands.

Was unbearably, perfectly beautiful.
