◈ My Platinum-Blonde Childhood Friend is Too Pretty
Chapter 48: One Night Beach Trip with the Girlfriend (6)
In the morning, I woke up, feeling that it was very early.
Even though it was midsummer, the room was chilly due to the air conditioner that had been running all night. I kept my eyes closed, still drowsy, wrapped in a blanket.
Although I fell asleep a bit late after spending a long time hugging and kissing Elli yesterday, I still managed to sleep before midnight. Judging by how sleepy I was, it must have been early morning.
And yet, my arms felt empty.
The warmth that had been heating my body had disappeared, and I no longer felt the hair tickling my face.
Just then.
-Sssshhhh...
I heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
'Elli must be taking a shower...'
I guessed in a half-asleep state, thinking she might wake me up after washing up.
Maybe she would suggest we go for a morning walk after I washed up too.
So I cleared my mind to sleep a bit more until then. If Elli wanted to go out, I would get up immediately, but at least until then...
Closing my eyes again.
-Click... Tap, tap...
Soon after, the sound of the door opening and someone moving around the room tickled my ears.
My body tensed, and my attention focused on the sounds.
It couldn't be helped. I had heard the shower just a moment ago, and now the door opened almost immediately after the water stopped.
-Swoosh, swish...
I heard the sound of drying off with a towel. I imagined Elli standing naked behind me as I lay on my side.
My sleepy mind awakened, and I felt my body heat up, especially in my lower half. I resisted the urge to turn over.
The towel sound stopped, followed by the sound of clothes being put on.
-Swish
"...Sigh. I guess I need to wash my underwear as soon as I get home."
I heard Elli's sigh mixed with her voice. I could barely grasp what she meant.
Then the sound of a hairdryer filled the room, though it didn't last long.
She must have only roughly dried her hair. It usually takes at least an hour if she does it properly.
Honestly, I thought she might wake me up to dry her hair, but she didn't.
After the hairdryer stopped.
-Swoosh
The sound of movement got closer. The blanket covering me was lifted.
-Snuggle...
The familiar scent hit my nose, and the warmth returned to my embrace.
Silky hair tickled my face, and I felt Elli's breath near my nose.
"Mmm..."
Elli grabbed my arm and pulled it over her. I pretended to be asleep, relaxing my body and letting Elli move me.
We ended up hugging again, and Elli wrapped her arm around my back.
-Sigh...
She let out a soft chuckle and began to caress near my buttocks. Her touch was subtle yet sensual, making the fine hairs on my body stand up.
And then,
"...Even your sleeping face is cute."
-Mwah
With a voice full of affection, she kissed me gently on the lips. The soft, moist touch lingered for a moment.
After that, Elli snuggled closer, nuzzling into my embrace.
Feeling her adorable movements and the heat building under the blanket, I tightened my hold on her and tried to go back to sleep.
When I woke up again, it was around 9 AM.
Elli was still sleeping peacefully in my arms. I carefully extricated myself and took a shower.
But as soon as I came out of the bathroom,
"Who said you could leave me? Want to die?"
Elli, now awake, glared at me from the bed. I almost retorted, 'You were the one who washed up first,' but swallowed my words.
She had boldly dried off and dressed right next to me. There was no need to embarrass her by pointing that out.
So I simply apologized.
"Sorry. Want a hug?"
"Hmph."
She scoffed and spread her arms, and I hugged her, sharing a bisous and a morning kiss.
From her murmured words, it seemed she had changed her underwear, but she still wore dolphin shorts and a crop top.
-Squish
I enjoyed the softness pressing against my chest and the smooth touch of her skin.
After that, Elli washed her face and tidied her hair, and we changed clothes to go for a walk.
Around 11 AM.
Though it was nearly noon, the streets were quiet, probably because everyone stayed up late.
We walked arm-in-arm to the beach, gazing at the horizon.
"I hope we can come here again next year."
Though this year was special thanks to Bin noona's relative's house, it might be impossible from next year.
Still, I expressed my hope, and Elli added,
"We'll come."
With certainty, she promised we'd come on another trip, staying in one room together.
"How?"
"I don't know. Somehow."
"Ah."
She didn't have a concrete plan, but it felt like we could make it happen.
Feeling strangely optimistic, I turned to look at Elli beside me.
And,
In the morning sunlight, her hair, face, and eyes shone brightly.
"Elli."
"What."
"älskar dig (I love you)."
I confessed my love.
My beautiful girlfriend blushed and looked at me.
"jag älskar dig också (I love you too)."
She replied to my confession.
At the same time, I wrapped my arm around her waist and kissed her. Elli wrapped her arms around my neck, deepening the kiss.
Looking back, our one-night beach trip, filled with kisses and embraces,
Ended like this.
It was well past noon when hyung and Bin noona showed up.
Bin noona was beaming, her smile radiant.
Jeong-woo hyung looked tired, with red marks on his neck.
I could guess what happened, though not in detail, but seeing them arm-in-arm suggested it went well.
Mostly according to Bin noona's intentions.
"Guys~! Noona will buy you something delicious, so let's have lunch before we leave~"
Bin noona, who always had a beer can in hand and dark circles under her eyes, spoke cheerfully for the first time.
"You ungrateful brats... I came all this way to let you two have fun together, and you team up with Bin..."
Jeong-woo hyung glared at us resentfully, but... things worked out in the end.
And he was already calling her Bin, dropping the 'noona,' so it seemed a lot had happened last night.
"Unnie. Can we talk?"
"Hmm~? Sure."
Elli requested a private conversation with Bin noona, eyes full of interest.
What was she going to ask? I was curious too.
After a luxurious lunch courtesy of Bin noona, we headed home.
The timing was awkward, but the highway was clear, so we reached Seoul in just two hours.
Living on the same floor in the same apartment, we rode the elevator together and exchanged goodbyes in the hallway.
"Rest well~ Jeong-woo, you know what to do tomorrow... right~?"
"Sigh... I know. Let's talk later. Let me sleep."
"Okay~ Hehe."
"I'll unpack and come over, unnie."
"Sure~"
"Thanks for everything, noona! You too, hyung!"
And we each went to our apartments.
"I'm home~"
As soon as I returned to our cozy home, mom fussed over me, checking me all over.
"Do-yoon! Did you get hurt anywhere? Did Elli do anything strange at night? Like trying to kidnap you...!"
"Nothing strange happened. She didn't."
"That's a relief, but..."
Sleeping with my girlfriend and kissing her wasn't strange. And we shared a room, so no kidnapping.
I reassured mom with honest words.
Though, like the marks on Jeong-woo hyung's neck, Elli had tried to leave kiss marks on me, but it wasn't easy.
There were no traces in the morning.
"I'm tired, so I'll rest in my room."
"Should I call you for dinner? Or are you going out again?"
"Um... I think I'll eat at home. Call me then."
"Alright. Rest well~"
That day at home.
Elli didn't come over until dinner.
She had gone to talk with Bin noona and probably needed rest after the long trip, so I relaxed and played on my computer.
Of course,
Late at night,
Before bed, she naturally came to my room.
"kram."
In comfortable shorts and a T-shirt, she said 'kram' and hugged me.
This lovely platinum blonde girlfriend kissed me as usual.
Then we talked about the remaining summer plans.
"Next week, we're going to the pool with the kids... And Jeong-woo hyung wants to meet on Wednesday."
"Have fun. I'll be hanging out with Lee So-yeon or doing something else that day."
"Okay. Are you going to wear the same swimsuit when we go to the beach with your family?"
"Probably. It's at the end of summer anyway."
"Right."
We often had small gatherings with friends, but the big summer plans were these. I also had a fall photo shoot in mid-August, but that was just one day.
Besides that, Min-ah noona suggested a cosplay in the cool autumn, and dad was planning a winter trip to Sweden. We chatted about these and other things.
Then, Elli casually said,
"I'm going shopping tomorrow."
"Shopping? What for?"
She mentioned shopping, which was no surprise.
Elli shopped at least once a week, even for small things, and I usually accompanied her. It was familiar.
But since we had shopped a lot recently, I was curious about what else she wanted.
Without much thought, I asked what she was buying.
Expecting a casual answer, I was caught off guard when Elli said,
"Underwear."
"...Huh?"
"We're buying couple underwear."
"......"
"So be ready to leave as soon as we wake up. Before lunch."
She dropped an unexpected bombshell.
