◈ My Platinum-Blonde Childhood Friend is Too Pretty

Chapter 64: Bunny Girl Elli (1)

Thump thump.

Since Elli would also start by washing up before she came out, I took my time as well and gave myself a thorough, leisurely shower.

After drying off I stepped out, and although the weather was starting to get chilly, I still dressed a bit lightly.

Assuming I would be hugging Elli soon.

With a reverent heart I waited for my girlfriend to call me.

However.

'Bunny girl, bunny girl, bunny girl, bunny girl…'

I had intended to stay solemn, but honestly that was the only thing that kept surfacing in my head.

I kept picturing that cosplayer I’d once seen online, the one whose shoulders, armpits, and even her upper chest were completely exposed, while her thighs were wrapped in fishnet stockings.

Elli, of all people, was about to wear that exact kind of bunny-girl outfit, so of course I couldn’t think of anything else.

She is always the prettiest girl in the world, sometimes the cutest, and tonight she was definitely going to be the sexiest.

My girlfriend.

Spending the day with our friends had certainly been fun, but I was positive nothing could compete with the cosplay show Elli was about to put on.

My knee bounced restlessly, and I could already feel heat rising through my body.

I waited like that for a short while.

Bzzzzzzz—

Jolt!

The moment my phone vibrated I shot to my feet, answering the call as I headed straight for the door.

"Hello? Should I come over now?"

– Wow.

"I’m on my way!"

With steps so light it felt like I was flying—honestly, I might really have been airborne—I dashed to the apartment next door.

Beep beep beep beep… beeeeeep! Beep beep beep…

My hands were trembling from sheer tension, and I even managed to punch in the wrong access code.

Click.

Taking a breath, I keyed it in correctly, opened the door, and stepped inside, only to find Elli waiting for me right by the entrance.

She was wearing something loose to make changing easier, and her cheeks were faintly flushed from her recent shower.

Even from a few steps away I could catch the pleasant scent that always clung to her.

"Follow me."

I trailed behind Elli into her room—neat, pretty, and perfectly organized.

Honestly, ever since around middle school I hadn’t been allowed in here all that often.

"Sit on the bed and wait."

"Okay."

"If you sneak even a peek, you're dead, got it?"

"Got it."

"…Look forward to it."

"…Yeah."

With a sultry smile for a parting shot, Elli slipped out of the room.

"Hnngh… Hoooh…"

After responding to her with little more than monosyllables like an idiot, I kept taking huge breaths, trying to calm my racing heart at least a little.

……

But it wouldn’t calm down at all.

Because, of course, Elli’s scent filled every corner of her room.

Naturally, since she’d invited me in, she’d made sure no clothes or underwear were lying around in plain sight.

Even so, just sitting on the bed she used every night and letting my eyes wander gave me a strange, heady feeling.

"Ah, I haven’t seen that in a while."

My gaze caught on a square wooden board hanging on the wall by her desk, covered with the photobooth pictures we’d taken over the years.

Today’s strip hadn’t been added yet, but the one before that was there, and the ones from when we were still in elementary school, too.

Our entire shared history was pinned up on that board.

"Heh…"

Scanning those photos for the first time in ages made me chuckle.

How could Elli have been that pretty and cute even back then?

Back in grade school, when she was the bright-eyed kid who led us in dodgeball or tag every single day.

Then in middle school, when she often wore that oddly pouty expression.

And now, looking so much more mature, with that beautiful smile she wears these days.

Here and there she’d taken shots with Lee So-yeon or other girls, but in more than 95% of them I was right beside her.

The smile on my face grew wider all on its own.

Seeing those tiny pictures of us together, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Thanks to that, my nerves finally began to ease, my heart settling down.

Knock, knock.

"Do-yoon."

"Ah, yeah!"

"Keep your eyes closed."

"They’re closed. I won’t open them, swear."

"If you peek through a slit I’ll kill you."

Elli called me with a knock and ordered me to shut my eyes.

I clamped them shut instantly. I had zero intention of cheating with a half-glance. I didn’t want to water down the emotional impact I was about to feel.

Click.

I heard the door open and felt someone step into the room.

"Hoo…"

Apparently Elli was a little nervous too, I could hear her breathing hard.

After a moment.

"Okay. Open your eyes."

Once Elli declared she was ready, I slowly opened mine.

– ……

My jaw dropped of its own accord, and I couldn’t make it close again.

Honestly, the amount of bare skin I could see couldn’t hold a candle to that string bikini she’d shown me once.

And yet.

"Well? How do I look?"

Above her platinum-blonde hair, gorgeous enough on its own to make me sigh every time,

Sway…

I saw a pair of black bunny ears gently swaying.

The dark ears stood out in stark contrast to her hair, somehow making them suit her even better.

I could see her blue eyes narrowed shyly, her cheeks flushed red, her small lips pursed.

That bashful face was breathtakingly beautiful.

There was a crisp shirt collar, and atop it a cute black ribbon.

My choice had been spot-on, little accessories like that made it feel more authentically cosplay, and for some reason it made the whole thing even sexier.

"I asked how I look."

I could see the slender line of her snow-white shoulders and the straight groove of her collarbone.

It amazed me that just her shoulders and collarbone could shake me up this much. The urge to kiss that spot tonight hit me hard.

Then my gaze slid to the generous curves of her chest and the deep cleavage the bunny suit didn’t even bother to hide.

That part was… insane. It was different from the bikini. The top exposed even more, while the underside of her breasts was covered, and somehow that made it even hotter. Just looking, I felt as though I could sense how soft they were.

On her slim wrists were adorable cuffs.

Like the collar and ribbon, it was these little details that really brought the cosplay to life.

"Lee Do-yoon."

The skin-tight bunny suit clung to Elli’s ant-waisted torso, showing off her faint abs and even the exact position of her navel.

It gave me the same thrill as watching her in leggings: covered, yet somehow even more erotic than being exposed, the kind of thing a guy can’t help but love.

And then.

"Hey."

I could see the lines from her hips down her thighs, the crease of her bikini line on either side.

Between those broad, milk-white thighs, the high-cut bunny suit covered only what absolutely had to be covered, and the sight lit a fire in my chest.

Below that were those beautiful legs, their flawless lines sheathed in fishnet.

Maybe it was the mesh, but even her legs looked far more provocative than usual.

"…Ah. S-sorry, did you call me?"

I’d been staring her up and down without a shred of restraint; only belatedly did I answer, hazily realizing she must have said something to me.

Embarrassment flooded me that I’d been so blatantly dumbstruck I hadn’t even heard her voice.

So I stammered an apology without thinking and lifted my gaze to her face.

At the sight of me like that, Elli—

"Pfft… heheh…"

She was fighting to keep a straight face, the corners of her mouth twitching, utterly delighted with herself.

"You really are a perv. How long were you staring?"

With a look of pure satisfaction, Elli condemned me, accurately, as a total pervert with no excuse.

Swoosh.

At the same time, she stepped a pace closer.

Now only half a step separated us. She gazed down at me where I sat on the edge of the bed.

One hip cocked, hands resting on her waist.

Like a proud, gorgeous queen—or perhaps a single, seductive bunny toying with her man.

She stood tall, flaunting both her figure and the outfit.

"Pervert boyfriend."

"…Yes. I am your pervert boyfriend."

"Do you like your birthday present?"

"Of course. I love it, absolutely. I’m honestly so happy. Thank you. I love you, Elli."

"Hmph."

Looking at me, all her shyness and nervousness gone, she met my eyes with her blue ones and gave a snort, her expression relaxed and confident.

Even that was sexy.

My heart pounded nonstop, and the urge to pull her into my arms right away filled me.

But I didn’t want to spoil the fun she was clearly having.

After all, she was the girlfriend who went so far as to cosplay just for me.

Still.

"Do you like the bikini better, or this?"

“…”

Wasn’t that question a little too cruel?

"I asked which one you like."

"Uh… Do I really have to choose?"

The bikini shows off so much skin, and the fabric is so thin that hugging her feels amazing…

The bunny suit was fantastic, but there was no way I could give up the bikini.

At my answer, which clearly refused to pick either, Elli’s eyes narrowed.

But the rich smile still lingered at her lips as she went on.

"Fine, whatever. Do-yoon, listen up."

"I’m listening. Whatever you say."

"From now until I say it’s okay, keep your hands behind your back. Don’t touch me on your own."

“…”

"Answer me."

"…I won’t touch you…"

"Hands behind you."

"Yes, ma’am."

Regret welled up to the back of my throat, but I decided to go along with the play Elli wanted.

Surely she wouldn’t forbid me from touching her forever.

Once she’d confirmed I’d obediently locked my hands behind me, Elli picked up the lip tint sitting on her desk.

Looking straight at me, she applied a shade just a touch redder than her usual.

Her lips were beautiful already, but now a sultry sheen was added.

After mouthing her newly tinted lips together a few times, Elli—

Swoosh.

leaned down and cupped my cheeks with her cool hands.

And then, instead of my lips, she aimed for the corner of my mouth.

"Smooch…"

She kissed me hard enough that I could feel her soft lips pressing in.

After about ten seconds, when Elli finally pulled away—

"…Hehe."

I could feel it.

The imprint of her lips was stamped on the corner of my mouth in bright tint.

At the same time, I could see it.

Elli’s face, looking absolutely delighted, clearly pleased with the mark she’d left.

She gave me a sly, foxy eye-smile and started applying the tint again to her lips.
