◈ My Platinum-Blonde Childhood Friend Is Too Pretty ◈

Chapter 109: 41. My Platinum-Blonde Girlfriend Who Wants a Baby -2

──────

We had plenty of summer vacation plans and dates lined up, but that didn't mean we were out and about every single day.

Sometimes you need to just stay home and rest.

After the beach trip with our friends, Elli and I spent a lazy day at home.

We cleaned the apartment together, like always.

Helped Elli make lunch.

And while I was doing the dishes afterward, Elli came up from behind and wrapped her arms around me.

-slide...

"Elli, I'm almost done with the dishes, just give me a sec..."

"Who said stop? I'm just hugging you. Getting all worked up by yourself..."

"No, but if you put your hand inside my pants... ugh...!"

"And? Does it feel good?"

"...I'll finish the dishes later."

"Says who? You know it's better to do them right away... heh... mm... smooch..."

Her hands wandering along my lower half, her warm breath whispering right at my ear. She'd provoked me into something a little indecent.

After that we went into the bathroom and washed each other, and then, unable to hold back our already flushed bodies, we naturally started heading toward sex...

"Hm? Where did the condoms go?"

"Are we out?"

"Looks like it. Just an empty box here. When did we go through all of these."

"Then just do it without. I want to right now, so hurry up..."

"Getting a serious sense of deja vu here."

"Don't even think about going out to get some. You want to do it right now too. And today is a slightly safe day for me..."

"Don't worry. I stashed an extra box behind where we keep the towels. Let me check... yep, there it is."

"......"

"You're not mad, are you?"

"...Just put it on."

We had sex with a condom, safely.

Since we do it in the bathroom pretty often, I always keep a spare box tucked away somewhere. The fact that the obvious one was gone meant Elli had definitely snuck it away again.

Of course, since she'd been pulling this kind of thing lately, I'd gotten used to sidestepping the trap without missing a beat, and I made sure to shower my sulking girlfriend with plenty of affection afterward.

Then we came out of the bathroom and sat together on the sofa to watch TV.

Not a variety show or a drama. An anime.

"Minjae said this was the best thing that's come out recently."

"I've seen it pop up on NewTube. Lots of reviews going up."

"Annie recommendations are showing up in your feed? How did that break through all those girl-group music videos and fashion shorts?"

"Through your account. I was looking at what you've been watching lately and came across it."

"Ah, fair enough."

Elli doesn't usually watch TV unless her favorite girl groups are on.

Sometimes I'd catch her secretly mimicking idol choreography while watching music shows, but I pretended not to notice. I was saving it for the right moment, when I could finally bring it up and watch her go red.

Anyway, setting aside what we watched together, the only thing I ever put on the TV myself was anime.

And whenever I watched anime, Elli would watch alongside me. Not because she found anime interesting, but more because she wanted to be wherever I was.

"What's it about?"

"I haven't checked recently either... looked like something set in the Japanese entertainment industry. Idols and all that."

"Entertainment industry? That's a little interesting."

We set some drinks and snacks on the coffee table and settled in to watch the anime Minjae had recommended.

Elli rested her head on my shoulder, and I wrapped an arm around her, gently stroking her cheek, her ear, her hair.

The anime's opening was hard to pin down.

It seemed like an idol romance at first, and then suddenly the main character was murdered and reborn as the twin son of the very idol he'd adored.

The main character was two hundred percent satisfied with that reality and living life to the fullest, side by side with his idol mother and his pretty twin sister.

It felt like it was settling into a warm, cheerful family anime...

"......"

"......"

And then near the end, the idol mother was murdered by a stalker fan, bringing back all the thriller tension from the very opening.

The way her death was depicted hit hard enough that both Elli and I were left speechless for a moment.

Still, it had been genuinely gripping. The first episode ran long, but we'd stayed glued to it the whole time, and now we were both curious about where the story would go.

"Wow... they did a great job making that death feel unsettling. So I guess the main character's going to enter the entertainment world and get revenge."

"......"

"It's good, though. I'd only ever heard the songs from this anime before. Now I get why the mood swings around so much."

"......"

"Elli, what did you think?"

"...It's watchable."

"Really? It's been forever since you said that about an anime. Want to keep going and watch episode two?"

Elli doesn't give empty opinions about this sort of thing. She would have said outright if she'd found it boring, so her reaction genuinely made me happy.

We were watching together, after all. Better for both of us to enjoy it than just me.

So I picked up the remote to start the next episode, but.

"Lee Do-yoon."

Elli called my name. In an incredibly sweet voice.

At the same time she shifted closer against me, pressing her face to my cheek until her lips were nearly grazing it.

"The twins were cute."

"The main character and his sister? Design-wise they're cute, but their personalities are a bit... honestly, wasn't the kid who played the young version cuter?"

"That one too."

"Right?"

"What do you like better?"

"Better, as in... what exactly?"

I turned my head to ask, not sure what she meant. My nose bumped right into hers, and my whole field of vision filled with platinum hair spilling to one side, pale lashes, and blue eyes.

-peck!

Before answering, Elli pushed her lips out slightly and gave me a quick little kiss. Then she asked her question more clearly.

"One kid, or twins?"

"Oh, that. Well, either's fine, isn't it? If it's our kid, one or two or three... actually, if it were triplets, could we really manage? Maybe it'd be better to have them one at a time."

Something about my answer, practical but genuine, made Elli's smile deepen.

"Fair point. So then, boy or girl?"

"Either's fine with me. A son who looks like you would be adorable, and a daughter who looks like you would be adorable too."

"I'd want a son or daughter who looks like you."

"Then if they get half from each of us, that's perfect."

-peck!

Having delivered what I felt was a Solomon-level answer, I kissed Elli on the lips.

"...That's acceptable. Not bad."

-peck!

Satisfied with that solution, Elli kissed me back.

-peck... smooch...

From there our little pecks picked up pace, one right after another without pause.

Soon enough the small kisses deepened into something fuller, tongues and all.

"smooch... peck... kiss..."

As we kissed, I kneaded her chest and she worked her hands along my lower half.

Starting things this way had long since stopped feeling like anything out of the ordinary. So when we naturally moved to pull each other's pants off,

Elli, her lips slick with her own warmth, pulled back for just a moment and whispered.

"Let's... make a baby. A cute kid like the ones in the anime... don't you want one?"

"......"

"If you finish inside me right now... you'd get to see a baby that's half you and half me..."

"Elli..."

"Just stay still like this. I'll take care of everything. You just be good and..."

"I've got a condom in my pocket."

"......"

"Let's just practice making a baby. Okay?"

"...Are you some kind of pervert? Why do you always have condoms on you."

"We still practically have sex the moment we make eye contact. Of course I keep one on me at all times."

"......"

Elli's seduction hadn't swayed my better judgment. Well, honestly it had swayed it a little, but not enough to tip me over.

And faced with my thorough preparedness on top of that, Elli's lips pushed out into a pout.

I held back the laugh threatening to escape.

Because the adorably sneaky little scheme she'd tried this time, skipping the hidden condoms and going straight for temptation instead, was just too cute.

Today too, Elli was the cutest person in the world.

-smooch...

I pressed my lips to her pout. Playfully, but with some real feeling behind it.

-pat pat

And gave her a little pat on the butt while I was at it.

"Elli. Want to get on top? Let's do it sitting up while we kiss. You like that, don't you."

"......"

"I'll handle the rest, so I just want you to kiss me... will you? Please?"

"......"

"Mm? Elli. I'm asking nicely. I want to do it while you're kissing me."

"......"

"And you put the condom on me. It drives me crazy when you do it..."

"......Fine. So stop talking already. Hmph."

"Thank you. I love you~"

I coaxed her out of her sulk, and before we went back to the anime, we tangled ourselves together one more time.

Elli, trying to work out her wounded pride through fierce kissing, absolutely tormented my lips and tongue to the point of nearly being devoured.

Not that I minded.

* * *

Elli's no-condom attempts continued steadily.

I always said no, of course, which meant she sulked every now and then. Still, things never got genuinely tense over it.

It had started to feel almost like a daily back-and-forth between us, really.

To the point where on days Elli didn't try anything, I'd catch myself thinking something was missing.

And then, before I knew it, we were in mid-July.

After Elli's modeling shoot that week wrapped up, we headed out on a one-night camping trip.

With Jeong-woo hyung and Bini-noona.

"You packed everything, right? If you two forget something, you're sleeping in the car on your own."

"That's right~ We only brought our own stuff, so we can't help you two~"

"I checked three times."

"Hyung, you said we'd buy food near the campground, right?"

"It's easier that way. Let's head out. Meet up at the spot I sent you."

"We drive safe so we might be a little late."

"What's the rush with a compact car anyway. Don't speed. Take your time."

We weren't going far. Just one night at a campground in Gangwon Province.

Bini-noona, who'd gotten obsessed with camping early in the year and started collecting gear, had put the whole plan together. Jeong-woo hyung, who'd been discharged that year and was slowly starting to think about job hunting, had agreed right away, saying it'd be good to catch his breath.

And Elli and I, who'd been on a few camping trips with our families growing up, were able to join without too much trouble since there was basic gear at our parents' places.

We did buy a new two-person tent and sleeping bag, though.

The tents at home were all family-sized, which would be awkward for just the two of us. The individual sleeping bags didn't appeal to Elli either, so she bought a two-person one instead.

Since there would definitely be trips where it was just the two of us someday, I figured it was worth the expense.

So today.

We got in the car and set off for Gangwon Province.

"Should we stop at a rest area once on the way?"

"Let's. We can switch drivers there..."

"And kiss?"

"Yeah."

Not quite as leisurely as the Busan trip, but still at our own pace.

We stopped at a rest area, had our moment of skinship, and as a result arrived in Gangwon Province about an hour behind hyung and noona before finally making it to the meeting spot.

"I told you to take your time and you really took your sweet time, didn't you."

"Sorry. Were you waiting long?"

"Hehe, we were out on our own little date nearby, so don't worry~ Jeong-woo. The kids are here, should we head to the mart now?"

"Seon Woo-bin, I'm begging you to buy a reasonable amount of alcohol."

"You're not going to drink much anyway, so I'll be fine~ You'll drive tomorrow, right?"

After meeting up with Jeong-woo hyung, we stopped at a mart first and loaded up on food and drinks.

"Split it with us. I earn good money."

"Forget it. Even if you made a million a month we'd still be the ones paying. We're not taking money from kids."

"...Hmph."

"Thanks, hyung."

"Thank Bini for that."

"Thanks, noona."

"Thank you, unni."

"I can't help spoiling my little darlings~ Make sure you finish it all and enjoy every bite!"

We thanked Bini-noona for covering the food and headed to the campground we'd planned on.

Maybe because of the vacation season, even the flatland campground with no valley nearby was packed with people.

We ended up wandering around for nearly thirty minutes looking for an open spot before finally claiming one.

Leaving Bini-noona, who had never been camping before, to fend for herself, Jeong-woo hyung set up his tent with the practiced ease of someone who'd drilled it in the military.

Right next to him, Elli and I had ours up in no time either. We'd done it a few times with our families before, and on top of that we'd bought a pop-up tent that practically set itself up, so it was quick work.

"Should the sleeping bag go this direction?"

"Turn it sideways. And don't leave that zipper open. Too many bugs getting in would be a pain."

"Got it... there. It's more comfortable than I expected?"

With the shade canopy up in front and the sleeping bag laid out inside the tent, things were looking pretty good.

It was a little cramped being a two-person setup, but that almost made it feel like a secret hideout, cozy in its own way, and I liked it. I was already looking forward to nightfall so I could hold Elli in the sleeping bag and drift off.

"Are you two all set? The little tent is adorable~"

Just as we were settling in and resting our tired bodies, satisfied with how everything had turned out, Bini-noona came over.

She looked at us sitting side by side on the sleeping bag and started laughing with a strange little smirk.

"Heheheheh..."

"Noona?"

"Why are you laughing like that. You're being creepy, unni."

"No~ You two know the rules, right?"

"What rules?"

"You can't do that here. Doing that at a campground is bad manners, apparently. And everyone around you will hear. So be careful~"

"Noona, you don't have to... and obviously we wouldn't do that here. I wasn't even thinking about it..."

"......"

"...Elli?"

"Good thing you told us or things could've gotten out of hand~"
