◈ My Platinum-Blonde Childhood Friend Is Too Pretty ◈

Chapter 106: 40. A Busan Trip Where I Can Only Touch My Girlfriend's Chest, Thighs, and Butt -4

──────

-Shhh...!

The moment we stepped into the bathtub, full to the brim and plenty big enough for two, water cascaded over the sides like a waterfall.

A quiet satisfaction rose in me over the temperature I'd spent a whole minute adjusting so it wouldn't be too hot.

"This is it..."

I let out an involuntary sigh of contentment and sank in, body following feet, then leaned back against the tub.

And then.

-Splash.

Elli stepped in.

Naturally, completely bare, her perfect figure and pale skin on full display without a hint of concealment.

-Turn.

Standing in the bathtub, she turned around. Her platinum hair was tied up in a bun to keep it dry, and it only made her clean nape look that much more striking. Her back view was beautiful.

The straight line of her back, the slight curve of her chest visible from the side, her slender waist, and her firm, faintly pink rear were all laid out before me without pretense.

Just like that, Elli slowly sat down.

Between my legs.

Her soft skin pressed against me through the warm water, and at the same time she muttered with a small grumble.

"It's hot."

"Too hot? I tried to get it just right... want me to run some cold water?"

"Not that bad. Still, this is my limit. Next time don't go hotter than this."

"Got it."

-Squeeze.

I accepted her terms and wrapped my arms around her waist.

In the clean hotel bathroom, only our voices echoing around us, warm wet skin against warm wet skin.

"...This is nice."

"...It is."

We melted like a pair of old grandparents soaking away their years.

I rested my chin gently on Elli's small shoulder. She leaned her back against me with ease, placing her hand over my arm.

We'd taken our time and rested plenty along the way, but ten hours to get here was ten hours regardless. My body had accumulated some fatigue whether I wanted it to or not, and feeling that slowly dissolve in the warm water was wonderfully satisfying.

I found myself newly in love with the idea of bathtubs.

'This is incredible.'

The moment we'd gotten to the room and Elli said we should wash up first, I knew immediately she meant she wanted to use the tub.

After all, the first thing Elli had checked when picking the hotel was the bathroom and whether it had a bathtub.

So before we'd even unpacked our bags, we threw off our clothes, showered, and slipped straight into the tub.

I was genuinely happy.

The warmth of the water wrapping around every part of me, and the soft warmth of my girlfriend nestled against my chest. Both were wonderful.

Elli seemed to feel the same way. She murmured in a languid voice.

"Bathtub... should we just buy one..."

"That collapsible round one we saw before?"

"Yeah."

"We'd definitely use it if we had one, but... it's small, so you'd have to sit with your legs tucked up instead of stretched out. That's why we didn't get it."

"Still. Even that, I want one."

"Our bathroom's small too, so we'd be folding and unfolding it every time."

"We can do that."

"True. We can. Let's buy one."

"Yeah..."

It sounded tedious and not entirely worth it, honestly, but once Elli had made up her mind to this degree I wasn't going to push back.

In a way, smaller might even have its charms. Imagining being pressed even closer to Elli than we were right now.

Even so.

"When we get married someday, let's find a place with a real bathtub for the newlywed home."

"......"

"Not a small one. A proper big one. Or at least a bathroom wide enough to fit one."

Bathtubs are best when they're big, like the one we were in right now.

The moment the words left my mouth, Elli's head turned back toward me.

She shot me a sidelong look, somewhere between a glare and something she was trying to hide behind a prim expression, her cheeks flushing pink.

"Hmph."

She gave a short sniff, then faced forward again and leaned the back of her head against me.

-Splash.

Her long legs lifted partway out of the water.

"Bigger is definitely better, so..."

My gaze got caught for a moment on those wet, beautifully shaped legs.

When they slipped back down, my eyes followed on their own, naturally drifting down along Elli's body, down through the hazy water to her bare form beneath, and.

"......"

With desire rising in me quite naturally, I was already half-wondering whether to go once more and then wash up again when.

Elli spoke.

"That wasn't a proposal just now, right? Not that you'd dare, unless you want to die."

"Of course not. The proposal I'll put real effort into, surprise her with..."

"Did you forget I told you not to do surprises? Want to die?"

"Oh, right."

"I'm picking the wedding ring myself too, so just tell me when you're ready to buy one."

"Yes, ma'am."

Not quite a standard proposal that requires her sign-off to proceed, but... if that's what Elli wants, so be it.

"Hmm, hm-hmm..."

-Splash, splash.

The talk of marriage seemed to put Elli in high spirits, because she started kicking both legs up and down in the water playfully. The innocent little gesture was adorable, but her wet legs and her bare body under the surface were something else entirely.

-Press.

My lower half, thoroughly provoked, began pushing against Elli's rear and tailbone.

"Do you want to?"

Elli felt it and asked the question, and I answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Yeah. I do."

"Here?"

"Here."

"How do you want to do it?"

"Hmm... if you grab the edge and lift a little..."

"Hmph. You per-... hold on."

"Yeah?"

We were already rubbing against each other, trading short words like we'd start any second now, when.

Elli's voice suddenly dropped.

She turned her head and looked at me sharply.

"Do you actually want to die?"

"Sorry. But why?"

I apologized on reflex before asking the reason, and Elli continued with eyes blazing.

"Where did I say you could only touch on this trip?"

"Oh."

"Want to die?"

"I'm sorry. I won't slip up again, I promise. Please forgive me."

Elli had probably forgotten herself just a moment ago too, but rather than point that out I kept apologizing and unwrapped my arms from around her waist.

"This is the last time. Try it again and see what happens."

Luckily Elli didn't press further and let it go.

And then, quietly.

-Slide.

Elli's legs parted to either side. The moment I saw it, my hands moved.

One hand to Elli's full chest, and the other between her thighs, to the most hidden place.

-Kiss.

"I'll make it up to you. I love you, Elli."

I kissed her ear and whispered it at the same time.

And to make it up to the Elli who had forgiven me, before we moved on to anything more, I.

"......!!"

Worked hard with my hands and my lips until the bathroom filled with Elli's sweet sounds.

* * *

After a cozy stretch of time in the bathroom, we pulled on the hotel robes and lay on the bed to rest for a bit.

It wasn't particularly late for sightseeing yet, but neither of us was thinking about going out.

Us, or more specifically, mostly Elli.

"Mmch... mmm..."

Lying flat on my back, I let Elli drape herself over me at an angle in her white robe, kissing me endlessly.

Her chest, plainly visible through the loose robe, was pressed against my side.

Her slender fingers slipped under my robe and wandered across my chest.

Her legs, equally bare and exposed, were wrapped around mine, rubbing against me in a slow, lazy rhythm.

In the middle of all that, platinum hair tumbled down and curtained my face, and my girlfriend held my gaze with heated eyes as she pressed her lips to mine.

I lay there and let myself be taken.

'We only went once in the bathroom.'

The time in the bathroom had been good, genuinely good, but I'd started to feel a little dizzy so we'd stopped at one round, gone back to enjoying the tub, and then gotten out.

That meant Elli's desire hadn't been fully satisfied, and now she was letting it out all over again.

Elli liked it when I took the lead and was a little rough, but she liked being the one in control just a bit more.

As much as she wanted, in whatever position she wanted.

Especially when she was worked up like this.

Sure enough, Elli soon started shifting upward.

"Mmh... haa..."

One last lick across my cheek, a wet exhale, and she pushed herself upright, swinging her lower half fully onto me until she was looking down at me from above.

My robe had already been pulled completely off at some point and was spread beneath us like an extra sheet. It served perfectly as a substitute towel.

Elli's robe was in hardly better shape, hanging off her like an afterthought. It covered maybe a quarter of her body, which somehow only made it more indecent.

-Rustle.

Elli swept her disheveled platinum hair back behind her. In my opinion it was the sexiest thing a person could do.

The motion itself, the flash of her pale underarm, the way her beautiful chest moved with it.

I watched her with a warm, contented feeling and then opened my mouth.

"Elli, want to hold hands while we do it?"

If I left it alone, Elli would lower herself down before long and we'd end up kissing our way through it with her pressed against me.

That was good too, but today I wanted to keep my eyes on her, and that was why I said it.

"......"

The moment she heard that, Elli's eyebrows twitched.

Seeing it, I added quickly.

"It's fine if you're the one holding. I want to hold hands while we do it."

At that the tension left Elli's brow, and a slow, sultry smile curved the corners of her mouth.

"Yeah? You want me to hold your hands?"

"Yeah."

"Lee Do-yoon... you just want to watch me move on my own, don't you?"

Not a hundred percent, but close enough. I nodded.

"That's part of it."

"What else?"

"You look incredibly sexy right now. That robe half falling off you... it's unreal."

"Hmm..."

"Please? Yeah?"

I asked like I was begging, and Elli smiled deeper and shifted her body.

A moment later we were joined together, and Elli laced her fingers through mine, knuckle by knuckle.

From that point on, I got to see all the Elli I'd wanted to see.

* * *

We'd arrived at four, but before we'd even gotten a look at the area, it was already night.

So did we at least spend a cozy evening dating in Busan? Well, not exactly.

We'd stepped out of the hotel room for a moment, but only because.

"Want to try Daesan Soju? Apparently you can only get it in Busan."

"They sell it in Seoul too, actually. Just hard to find. Put in one bottle."

We needed to buy alcohol.

And also.

"For condoms, just grab something thin from a well-known brand..."

"Tch."

"...Elli. You really did just forget, right?"

"Hmph. I said I did. Stop asking."

"......"

Elli had "forgotten" to pack extra condoms, so we needed to go buy some right away.

This sort of thing was happening fairly often by now, but since Elli said she forgot, I had to take her at her word.
