◈ My Platinum-Blonde Childhood Friend Is Too Pretty ◈

Chapter 105: 40. A Busan Trip Where I Can Only Touch My Girlfriend's Chest, Thighs, and Butt -3

──────

Our Busan trip was crawling along at a snail's pace.

I'd planned for that, which was why we'd left early in the morning, but it was looking like we'd arrive far later than expected.

A big part of it was spending nearly an hour at the first rest stop in Giheung, and even after that we were stopping at roughly every other rest area along the way.

Not for anything as practical as a bathroom break. Well, maybe it was physiological in its own way.

Kissing was non-negotiable for the two of us, after all.

Anyway, at the next stop after that, I happily ate the kimbap Elli fed me bite by bite, and at the stop after that.

"Potatoes are too heavy and a lot to eat, so how about churros?"

"Go get them. Just one."

We bought a long churro, took turns biting into it together, then came back to the car.

After checking that there were barely any other cars around, we slipped into the back seat for a little while.

"Getting sugar all over yourself while you eat, how messy... lick..."

Elli climbed onto my lap rather than sitting beside me, and licked the sugar off my lips along with the kiss. Churros being churros, getting powdered sugar around your mouth is unavoidable, but using that as an excuse.

I was still bound by Elli's rules, so I couldn't put my hands on her back or waist.

So naturally my hands found her backside again, and while they were there I gave it a gentle squeeze.

The thin, light blue jeans she'd switched into from her first pair made everything feel more vivid in my hands, that soft warmth I could grip so clearly. Sliding down just a little further, I could reach the plush, smooth skin of her thighs too, and I savored every bit of it.

Then, little by little.

"Mm... smooch..."

"There's no sugar on my... ugh... on my ear..."

"There is... kiss..."

"Wait... my neck..."

"Lick... there's some here too... smack... be quiet..."

Elli ended up licking all over my ear and neck, but we hadn't put up the blackout curtains this time, so we stopped there and got moving again.

After that.

We kissed away the fatigue through a few more rest stops, and before long we'd arrived in Gimcheon, where Elli and I had agreed to switch drivers.

We'd stopped so many times along the way, and honestly the drive hadn't felt tiring at all since we'd just been messing around together like always. Plus the mood had been great, thanks to Elli taking care of me with her hands back in Giheung and then following it up with her mouth on top of that.

So I felt like I could keep driving as long as needed, but.

'Elli said she wanted to try driving on the expressway too.'

Conveniently, there were no congestion zones between here and just before Busan.

It would definitely be a smooth, fun stretch to drive, so I was going to switch seats with her as promised, when.

"Do-yoon. Do you need the bathroom?"

"Hmm... no. Not really right now."

"Snacks?"

"I'm fine without."

"Okay."

Elli held me back and ran through a little checklist. She'd asked the same thing at every rest stop, but this time something felt different.

I was wondering why, when Elli picked up the curtains from the back seat and started attaching them to the passenger-side window.

Seeing that, I figured she was in the mood again, so I went ahead and covered the driver's-side window too.

Then we moved to the back seat and blocked off the remaining windows with the curtains to make a sealed little space.

Once we were sitting side by side in the dark, Elli pressed her body and face right up close to mine and said, "I can't drive like this."

"Is it hard to hold back? I can use my hand..."

"Not your hand."

"Not my hand?"

"Use your mouth. Lick me like a puppy... make me feel good."

Her eyes were glassy, her voice soft, and as she spoke she made a small motion of pulling her jeans and underwear down.

It was a temptation I couldn't refuse and couldn't resist.

So I gave her a short kiss on the lips and nodded.

"If that's what you want, of course I will. Lean back against the seat. I'll keep going until you tell me to stop."

"Okay... hurry..."

"Should I take your jeans and underwear off for you?"

"Obviously..."

"Then hold on a sec... oh, Elli. Which bag are the towels in?"

"...The far-right bag in the trunk. Pop the button and you'll see them right away."

"Is it this one...? Yeah, here it is."

Back in Giheung we'd just gone with the flow and started right away, but Elli knew better than I did that towels were essential.

So I laid one out on the seat first.

"Lift your hips. I'll take them off."

I pulled off her jeans and underwear, then did my best to serve her well.

We'd already done something with my hands earlier, but it seemed like a lot had built up in the time since, because it ended up taking quite a bit longer than I expected.

And then.

"Hah... hmm..."

"Did that feel good?"

"Yeah... it did..."

"You must be hungry by now. Should we just eat here?"

"...Before that."

"Hm?"

"You, take off your pants... no, wait, stay still. I'll do it."

She returned the favor.

Only after all of that was done did Elli look genuinely refreshed, a pretty smile spread all across her face as she hooked her arm through mine.

And just like that we walked into the rest stop side by side and had a meal.

"They're apparently famous for their jumbo pork cutlet here, let's get that."

"Sure."

"What about you? Should we add a udon too?"

"It's fine. I'm not that hungry. The cutlet looks big too so let's just share."

Taking Elli at her word that she wasn't very hungry, I ordered just the one jumbo pork cutlet and we settled into a corner seat next to each other.

When the cutlet arrived, Elli picked up a fork and knife and cut it into neat, easy-to-eat pieces.

Then she handed the fork straight to me without taking any for herself. So I was eating away happily when.

"Is it good?"

"Mm... yeah, it's good. Not exactly a legendary spot, but... it's solid."

"Good. Eat a lot."

Elli sat beside me with her chin resting in her hand, just staring at me without blinking. Her expression was so full of affection it was almost overwhelming, her gaze warm with something that looked like pure love, like just watching me eat was enough.

Then, when I speared a piece of cutlet on the fork and held it out to her.

"Ah..."

She opened her mouth quietly and ate it. Then her tongue slipped out to lick the tonkatsu sauce off her lips, and it looked far more suggestive than it had any right to.

The tonkatsu sauce reminded me a little of what had ended up on Elli's lips earlier, the... ahem.

Anyway. We finished eating, brushed our teeth in the restroom, then headed back to the car.

Now Elli took the driver's seat and I took the passenger side.

"Hmm."

-swiish

She had her sunglasses on and was gripping the steering wheel with this eager, expectant look on her face. Pretty and adorable.

She started the engine, and just as we were about to pull out.

-tap, tap

Without a word, Elli tapped her cheek twice with her index finger.

The moment I saw that I unclicked my seatbelt and leaned toward the driver's seat.

-peck

I gave her soft cheek a quick kiss, then buckled back up. Only then did the car slowly start moving forward.

"You rest a bit. We're almost there now."

"Almost there... we've still got about two hours to go?"

"Hmph. That's all that's left."

"Ha... you're right. We're already more than halfway there. Kind of a shame."

Surprisingly, we'd already been on the road for six and a half hours. By rights we should have arrived in Busan a long time ago, but we'd barely crossed the halfway point.

Not that it mattered at all how long it took. We were enjoying this, exactly as it was. I genuinely felt like we could drive all around the country like this.

As long as we had each other, we could do it forever.

* * *

We arrived in Busan.

Before leaving, the plan had been to arrive before our hotel check-in time, park the car, and explore the area a bit before heading in.

But, remarkably, we ended up arriving even later than check-in time.

It had taken us nearly ten hours.

And honestly, only because we stopped at fewer rest areas after switching drivers. If we'd kept up the pace from before, it might have stretched well past ten.

Of course, the actual time spent driving was only about half of that, and there hadn't been any major traffic jams, so even after arriving neither of us felt particularly worn out.

We'd taken so many breaks along the way.

There was a bit of congestion once we got into Busan proper, though. And the driving style here felt, well, a little aggressive?

Elli drove well and had good instincts, so she got us to the hotel without any trouble, but honestly I didn't feel confident getting behind the wheel around here.

"Mmn~"

"You worked hard. I'll get the bags, so stretch for a bit."

-peck!

I gave Elli a kiss on the cheek to reward her for the long drive, then got out first and pulled our things from the trunk.

The big backpack went on my back, the carry-on went on the ground with the handle extended to drag along.

Elli loosened up for a moment, then slung her small everyday bag over her shoulder and hooked her arm through mine.

And we headed straight into the dazzling hotel lobby.

This being our first long car trip together, just the two of us, and our first time staying at a hotel together, I'd splurged a little on the accommodation. We'd barely managed to snag the reservation.

It was late June, still ten days before the beach officially opened for summer, so it was technically still off-season. But even so, reservations had been nearly impossible to get a month out.

I'd checked initially and found no rooms available, but when I looked again a few days later someone had apparently cancelled and a room had opened up, so I grabbed it without hesitating.

That was how we learned something for the first time. Good hotels need to be planned and booked much, much earlier.

Anyway, we'd gotten the reservation, and that was what mattered. We walked toward the front desk with light steps.

Elli stepped forward ahead of me, phone in hand, and the desk staff, who had a neat, composed look, greeted her with a bright smile.

"Hello, welcome to Nella Hotel. How can I help you today?"

To the staff member asking in smooth, fluent English, Elli held out her phone and said, "Check-in, please. The reservation is under Lee Do-yoon."

"...?"

"Check-in."

"...! I'm so sorry. Let me pull that up right away."

I could almost see the question mark floating above the staff member's head.

Elli looks every bit the part of a Scandinavian foreigner, but in this day and age, a foreigner speaking Korean isn't exactly rare.

Working at a hotel, they've probably encountered a few. But actually hearing someone speak with a completely native accent, with zero foreign inflection, like Elli does, that's something you'd almost never come across. The gap between her appearance and her flawless pronunciation must have caught them off guard.

After that brief moment of surprise, we finished checking in.

We got our key cards and made our way up to the room.

-click

When we stepped inside.

"Wow... it's really beautiful..."

Through the living room's glass windows, a gorgeous ocean view came into sight from the very entrance, and as I breathed out a soft word of wonder.

-thud

Elli leaned her back gently against my chest, turned her head, and whispered.

"Do-yoon."

"Yeah?"

"Put the bags down... and come shower with me first."
