◈ My Platinum-Blonde Childhood Friend is Too Pretty

Chapter 39: Fitting Model Job with Elli (3)

Ellie looked down at her boyfriend lying beneath her.

'...What should I do?'

Her heart overflowed with love, and she had no way to contain the feelings that filled her chest.

Of course, she always liked Lee Do-yoon.

He was always cute.

He was always cool.

But today, he made her heart race even more.

'...I'm going crazy.'

Lee Do-yoon's face, beautifully made up by a professional, was so pretty. He looked at her with his usual straight gaze and cute smile, which made him even more attractive.

During the shoot, without intending to, she had kissed him.

When their lips touched, her boyfriend's lips were incredibly sweet and blissful.

But as soon as she pulled away, she was filled with worry.

She felt foolish, not like a child anymore. The adults were working seriously, and she had done something so childish in front of them.

Even though she was still young, she knew enough to understand that her thoughtless action could inconvenience many people.

It was a relief if she alone got scolded, but the thought of Lee Do-yoon being troubled or her mother having to bow her head made her heart fill with fear.

But then—

-Smooch

As if responding to her heart, he kissed her back.

He bowed his head and apologized loudly as if it was all his fault.

Her heart swelled. She almost cried at that moment.

Knowing that she was anxious, he didn't let his bright smile waver for even a second and shielded her with his strong body.

Ellie fell for him again, for the umpteenth time. She fell for him every day, but today it was double.

'Why is he so cool...'

He always listened to her with a soft smile and apologized first even when he had done nothing wrong.

He was a childhood friend and boyfriend who made her feel comfortable, but he wasn't weak. He showed determination and manliness when needed, making him reliable.

Even though he always yielded to her, he stepped up to protect her during moments like today.

As a woman and his girlfriend, how could she not love that gentleness?

"Not at all. You're very light."

Even now, he was saying sweet things, making her heart flutter.

"Sigh..."

His eyes, forming a gentle curve and his beautifully curved lips were so alluring.

She wanted to devour him, he was so charming.

'I can eat him... Lee Do-yoon is mine.'

Thinking there was nothing wrong with that, Ellie slowly lowered her upper body.

And then—

"Hmm... Lick..."

She took her boyfriend's lips in her mouth, licking the soft flesh with her tongue.

There wasn't any chocolate, but his lips were incredibly sweet.

-Slide

At the same time, Lee Do-yoon's arms and large hands wrapped around her back and head, reassuring her even more.

Unable to contain her affection for him, Ellie aggressively pushed her tongue into his mouth.

"Slurp... Smooch... Lick..."

The sensation of their tongues touching was thrilling. Sharing her saliva with him and receiving his in return made her feel intensely heated.

Their noses bumped, and their excited breaths mingled on each other's faces, creating an intimate sensation.

'Tasty...'

He was delicious. Her boyfriend.

Seeing his face surrounded by her platinum blonde hair satisfied her possessiveness and desire for exclusivity.

"Sigh, ha..."

"Ellie... a bit intense..."

"Be quiet... Smooch... Lick..."

"Ugh..."

She released his saliva-drenched face, moving slightly down.

She kissed and licked his seemingly thin yet thick neck.

His short moans that escaped indicated he liked it, giving her more strength.

"Smooch... Yum..."

She kissed, licked, and lightly bit him, wanting to remember this moment.

When she looked back up at him—

"......"

Lee Do-yoon was looking up at her with a flushed face.

The lower halves of their bodies that had touched earlier felt firmer and more solid than usual.

In Ellie's mind, she thought of the small condom box her mother had bought her, neatly placed in her handbag.

The thin and expensive, good-quality condom.

But she didn't want to disappoint her future in-laws or do something unromantic in a place like this.

Yet, the desire to devour her cute and handsome boyfriend right then and there made her seriously conflicted.

At that moment—

-Slide

Lee Do-yoon's hand was raised. He gently stroked her cheek.

"Ellie."

"......"

"Let's buy those overalls you wore today when they go up on the shopping mall. You looked so cute in them."

"…Heh."

Ellie chuckled at her boyfriend's sudden and random remark, his bright smile lighting up the moment.

Though she had lived in Korea since she was young and had fully adapted to its culture and way of life, the Swedish part of her blood simmered, wanting to spend a passionate time with her adorable boyfriend right away.

But still, she wanted Lee Do-yoon to make the first move.

Just like when he apologized for her today, just like when he confessed in the Ferris wheel.

She wanted to spend her first romantic night guided by her boyfriend's manly hands.

So Ellie held back.

She vaguely envisioned the next two and a half years, which would feel much longer than the twelve years since she was five.

"Lee Do-yoon."

Ellie got off her boyfriend and sat beside him, opening her arms.

"Hug and kiss me."

"Okay."

And in the warm embrace of her boyfriend, she received his kiss.

Yes, this was nice.

Like a delicate and gentle princess, waiting for the prince's kiss felt better.

Rather than devouring him, being devoured...

"......"

No, she wasn't sure.

Maybe being the one to devour was better.

In her own way, as much as she wanted.

All night long with Lee Do-yoon...

After somehow finishing the shoot and spending some passionate time with Ellie at the room café, the days following brought some aftermath.

"Hmph! Next time, I'm definitely going too. How could you do that during a shoot!"

"But it came out well, right?"

"...It did turn out pretty."

First, my mom wasn't too happy.

She regretted not seeing me as a fitting model herself and was upset about the open kiss with Ellie.

Though she reacted this way, at some point, her phone's standby screen had changed to a couple photo of Ellie and me.

Of course, it wasn't the kissing photo but the one right before the kiss, which went up on the shopping mall.

My dad simply laughed and said it turned out well, and Mr. Mark, like my mom, grumbled a bit. Fortunately, he didn’t come to kill me over the kiss.

According to Aunt Ye-rin, he had set Ellie’s part of the photo as his phone’s standby screen.

And not just our families, but it became quite a topic at school too.

Everyone was buzzing about a friend from the same school appearing as a fitting model on a shopping mall's website.

High school fitting models weren't extremely rare, but they weren't common either.

Ellie's solo shoot also went up during this update, so it was being talked about now.

"The clothes are expensive. Can you even buy anything from here?"

"Isn't this affordable?"

"You're nuts... You earn money from your art, but how can I buy these clothes when I can't even afford a PC bang?"

"But seeing Lee Do-yoon wear it makes me want to buy it. Maybe with my mom's credit card..."

"If you wear it, it won't look like that. Good luck, narrow shoulders."

"Fuck."

Despite the buzz, the prices were high enough that even if they liked the clothes, they couldn't easily decide to buy them.

A quick search on the internet showed that it was quite a famous place for its quality, and because of that, the prices were high, making it hard for people our age to afford.

For various reasons, the boys seemed to just browse around.

"Oh my god... I bought it impulsively..."

"What?"

"The shirt and denim Ellie wore... Sigh... It won't look the same on me..."

"Oh, I bought that too! It’s so pretty~ I usually don't buy clothes online, but I bought this right away."

"In-yeong, you're tall, so it'll suit you! But I'm too short..."

"You'll look cute in it... By the way, So-yeon, do you think they... after this? It looks like they kissed right after this photo..."

"Of course! If you were with your boyfriend like that, wouldn't you kiss?"

"...They must have!"

Setting aside the small, rosy imaginations and conversations, it seemed that the girls, unlike the boys, actually purchased Ellie's outfits.

As a model, I couldn't help but be concerned about these reviews. Although just taking photos as a fitting model is the end of it, if the sales were good, it would be more rewarding and pleasing.

So hearing the boys hardly bought anything while the girls bought a lot made me think—

'I don't think they'll call me again.'

—which made me a bit disappointed.

But a few days later, I received a long message from the director.

[ Blanche Lee Ha-young : You said you were willing to shoot couple outfits with Alicia, right? I'll pay you more than last time, so please join us next time too? The clothes you modeled are selling so well that we're already producing more. I'll also buy you something delicious, so bring your parents next time too. ]

[ Blanche Lee Ha-young : [ Mecca Coffee - 2 Americanos + Cake Set ] gift sent. Please check now! ]

[ Blanche Lee Ha-young : Enjoy it on your date with Alicia~ ^^ I'm just sending this out of gratitude, so don’t feel pressured~ ]

Contrary to my worries, the sales were very good, and I could finally feel relieved after receiving that message.

I thought there were more rich kids around than I expected, but I later heard that many early 20s guys made the purchases.

Anyway, Ellie didn't visit often, so it was worth considering doing another couple's shoot with her.

I didn't intend to become a model, but this news made my heart flutter. Plus, getting paid well was nice.

And then—

-Click

Ellie, who visited my room as usual, was now wearing—

"Oh, did you really buy those clothes?"

"You said I looked cute in them. Wanna die?"

"Cute. Crazy cute."

"Enough. I also bought you the matching pants, so change quickly. We’re going out."

I loved the denim overalls Ellie bought.

The quality of the shopping mall's clothes was indeed good.

I thought she was cute in the short-sleeve t-shirt during the shoot, but now, paired with a white long-sleeve tee for the changing season, she looked even cuter.

I quickly changed into the jeans Ellie handed me. They matched perfectly with detailed stitching, clearly showing we were in a similar look.

Then I held Ellie's hand and headed out.

"Wow, the weather is amazing."

"Take off your jacket."

"I'll do that."

The warm sunshine, making the cardigan I wore feel unnecessary, was a reminder that summer was approaching.
