◈ My Platinum-Blonde Childhood Friend Is Too Pretty ◈

Chapter 84: 33. The Lovey-Dovey Live-In Life with My Platinum-Blonde Girlfriend -2

──────

After hugging her from behind and kissing her neck while she did the dishes, then hanging the laundry together.

I went online shopping with Elli.

Not on a computer or laptop, but on our phones, lying in bed under the blankets with our backs against the wall.

It was still too early to sleep, but we were in no hurry. We lay wrapped in the warm blankets, fresh out of the dryer, soaking up each other's warmth, which was even warmer than that.

"Which towels should we get?"

"Get the same ones we have at home. Those are the best."

"I like them too, but weren't they a bit pricey?"

"Still get them. They felt great as a bath mat too."

"Okay. So we'll order those for the towels, and..."

One hand worked the phone, and the other rested around Elli's shoulder, running through her hair.

Elli had her head on my shoulder.

-squish

She pressed herself against me, her whole body flush against mine, enough to feel her weight on my chest.

-squeeze

She wrapped one of her legs around mine.

-slide

Her hand drifted from my chest down to my stomach, then my thigh, roaming wherever it pleased in that soft, languid way of hers.

She moved nothing but her mouth.

"Next... we're doing groceries on Zipplus, right?"

"Get in there quick. It's late, the morning delivery probably won't make it..."

"Let me check... ah, yeah. Earliest slot is one o'clock."

"That's fine, I guess. Do you need cola? You were almost out."

"I do. Absolutely."

"Then get the zero sugar kind. Just two."

"Can't I get three? It's zero sugar anyway, so it's not like... ow!"

-pinch!

"What was that?"

"Two... two is more than enough, I think... What else do we need?"

"Bread and milk. Eggs and dried anchovies too."

"Bread, milk... eggs... Are we having toast the morning after next?"

"We'll see."

"Let's do it. I'll make it for you. Fried egg and sugar toast. Do we have butter?"

"We do, but... add some butter too. Not that one, the one next to it. Yeah, that one."

"Got it."

"And I'm making the toast. Don't even think about setting foot in the kitchen."

"I want to make it for you, though. You cook every meal, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I should be allowed to do something every once in a while."

"No."

"Then should we make it together? That could be fun, right? I'll handle the bread..."

"Lee Do-yoon."

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to touch my chest?"

"......"

"Pick one. My chest or the kitchen."

"That's genuinely unfair..."

"Quickly."

"...chest."

"You picked chest. No more bringing up cooking."

"So unfair..."

-squeeze

"Mmm... oh, we need toothpaste too."

"Yes..."

"I give you a reward and that's the voice you make. You want to die?"

"...I'm just happy I get to touch your chest."

"That's not what happy sounds like."

"...mwah."

"...if you think a little kiss fixes every..."

"Mwah, mwah... lick..."

"Hah... like a little puppy... using aegyo on me... hmph... fine. Next we need ketchup and sausages, and..."

"And?"

"...add one more cola."

"Yes! I love you, Elli!"

It was cheerful, playful shopping, laced with just a spoonful of teasing.

From cleaning to cooking, and now this grocery run.

Elli was so much more capable than I'd expected, and it made me feel completely at ease.

I knew she'd been coming over to my place every day this past year and helping a lot around the house, but I hadn't realized she'd be this good at taking full charge of everything on her own.

Thanks to that, I was just purely enjoying the moment, watching my pretty girlfriend who was every bit a proper homemaker.

"I have to do it before we sleep."

The thought crept in, that unstoppable male desire.

I was in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, and Elli had on just dolphin shorts and a thin t-shirt.

Pressed together like that, our bare legs touched and I could feel every soft curve of her against me without any ambiguity.

So with my body already running hot, and then getting to squeeze her chest on top of all that, it was inevitable that my thoughts started drifting somewhere warmer.

On top of that.

-slide... glide...

Elli had slipped her hand under my shirt and was tracing her fingers over my bare skin, nudging me on.

I couldn't help it.

We'd had our first time together just three days ago, and now we were living together on top of that.

It was only natural that my body would catch fire at the smallest touch, the smallest gesture.

"Oh, should we buy some snacks and drinks now too? The others are coming over soon."

"If we need more, we can go to the mart then. Don't buy any now."

"Okay. That's everything, right? I'll check out."

"Go ahead."

Still, I held on to reason until the very end and finished the shopping first.

I checked everything in the cart and completed the payment.

-thunk

I tossed my phone onto the pillow beside me.

At the same moment, Elli and I peeled our backs off the wall and slid down together.

We lay down, pulled the blanket over us, and looked at each other.

Like we were reading each other's minds, we'd both done the exact same thing without a word.

The room had been dark for a while already, and only the Eevee night light I'd insisted on buying cast its warm glow over us.

I stroked Elli's soft curves over her dolphin shorts and said:

"Elli. When do I get my birthday present?"

"Why are you asking me. You have to buy the outfit before I can wear it, you dummy."

"Oh, right. You said you'd wear whatever I pick."

"So. What do you want to put me in?"

"Hmm. Ideally I'd rotate through a whole variety, but..."

"Pervert."

"Hey."

"What."

"If you wore something like a maid outfit, would you call me 'master' and everything?"

"......"

It was a slightly pervy thing to say, and Elli's eyes narrowed as she looked at me. Not with actual contempt, just a look that lightly judged me on principle.

"...hmm."

But the corners of her lips curved into a slow, deep smile.

-slide

She slipped her leg between mine, tangling herself close.

She brought her face so near our lips were almost touching.

And she told me.

"...Master."

"...!"

Master.

In a voice thinner than usual, laced with enough allure to make every hair on my body stand on end the moment I heard it.

"Do whatever you want with me."

"......"

She lit me on fire.

It was just one short line, but that one line wrecked my head and my chest completely.

"Is that good enough for you?"

"...Incredibly. Then... what about the puppy?"

"Pervert."

"I am a pervert. What would you do for the puppy?"

"Woof. Woof woof."

"......"

"Woof, woof... lick..."

"God... you're insane..."

It didn't pack quite the same punch as the maid line, but Elli, pretty as she was, barking like a puppy and licking my cheek was more than enough to send a shiver through me.

I was just sitting there dazed, struck speechless, when Elli called out to me in a low, honeyed voice.

"Hey."

"Yeah?"

"If I were making those noises... just puppy ears and a tail, nothing else on, lying face-down on the floor... what would you do to me?"

"I... well..."

"Say it, you pervert. Come on."

"......"

"Would you just... take me from behind, like a dog? Hold me so I couldn't move..."

She said it slow and deliberate, like she was asking me to picture it.

And I did. A naked Elli, wearing nothing but a tail and ears, leash in my hand, swaying her hips as she crawled across the floor, filled my head completely.

I couldn't hold back anymore.

Holding back when my girlfriend pulled something like this was not what a proper boyfriend did.

"Should we start? You just lie there. I'll take care of every..."

Flushed and more than ready, I pushed myself up and started to move over her.

"No."

Elli pressed her hand against my chest and stopped me.

And then.

-thump!

Elli climbed on top of me instead.

"Hah..."

She exhaled a hot breath, settled herself over me, and looked down with blazing eyes.

-rustle! swish!

She pulled off her clothes in one swift motion and said:

"You stay still. I'll take care of everything."

Just as she had taken charge in the kitchen, she was taking charge of the night too. My spirited girlfriend left me with only one thing to say.

"...Yes."

I obeyed.

And so, in the end.

That day too wrapped up with Elli and me tangled up in each other.

* * *

I'd tried not to let our days become nothing but sex, but living alone together in our own space, just the two of us, I came to realize that was simply what happened sometimes.

It wasn't as wild as those first three days, but from waking up in the morning to falling asleep at night, we spent time together in all sorts of ways at all hours.

Elli would pounce on me, I'd pounce on Elli.

Back and forth, every which way.

Then one day, some friends came over.

"It's been forever! I wasn't sure if we were even allowed to set foot in you two's love nest... kyaa! What is this! You're both wearing matching fridge-print pants! Are you showing off that you're living together?!"

"So that's why you invited us? Heh, how annoying."

"They're adorable, why are you like that! The place is really nice, though~ Even better than in the photos! I guess this is the kind of place you need to actually live together comfortably, right?"

"Obviously."

Lee So-yeon and Joo Hye-ryeong, whose university acceptances had come through, were now looking for a place to rent in our area rather than somewhere expensive near campus.

"Oh, Do-yoon. Congrats on getting into university. My sister said to give you two this. A present from her. I don't know what it is either."

Minjae, my otaku friend, who was heading off to rent somewhere far away and would be a little harder to see from now on.

"Seriously, the difference between this and the place I found... damn... hey, can I see the inner room too... actually, probably not? They're living together, I'm getting weirdly careful about stuff."

"I'm so jealous... amazing place... amazing school... amazing girlfriend... and on top of that they're living together... Lee Jin-woo. Should we just kill ourselves?"

"Maybe. But can I finish my placement matches first? I need to hit gold before anything else."

"Fair enough. Dying stuck in silver would be embarrassing."

Jin-woo and Chae-hwan, walking in as lively as ever.

There were plenty more friends I could have invited, but the apartment wasn't that big, so I'd started with these five, the ones I was closest to.

We didn't really do anything in particular once we gathered. We took a quick look around the place, then pretty much everyone moved straight into talking about university.

Since everyone except Elli was an incoming student, the excitement about college life just around the corner was inevitable.

So we all crowded into the living room, snacked on chips and drinks, and added the beer the others had brought, and chatted.

"Is it true you get a girlfriend once you go to uni?"

"You actually believe that."

"God damn it..."

"Hey, hey. Do-yoon. When's your orientation? Ours is the welcome event at the end of this month and the freshman trip is the start of next month."

"Ours is probably around the same? Right, So-yeon-ssi?"

"Yep~ That's why Hye-ryeong and I need to sign our lease before then."

"...hmph."

When the freshman trip came up, Elli, who had been sitting quietly beside me just listening, furrowed her brow.

She wasn't going to university herself, but she knew the freshman trip was a two-night, three-day affair.

She'd been unhappy about it ever since she first heard, and even now it put her in a sour mood.

For my part, if Elli wanted me not to go I didn't actually mind skipping, but I also knew that if I said I wasn't going, she'd just tell me to go anyway. So I didn't bring it up.

Instead, I just.

-squeeze

Quietly took her hand, so she could settle down a little.

Elli's expression was just starting to soften when.

"But I heard the freshman trip is just drinking every night. Do-yoon's gonna be super popular in those settings."

"...hey, cool it..."

"Isn't that just facts, though? Even back in middle school, when Alicia was putting up walls around everyone, there were still guys like that. Add alcohol, take Alicia out of the picture, and it's obviously going to be... oh."

Maybe the beer had loosened him up. Chae-hwan let it slip, just a little tactless.

"......"

"......"

"......"

"......"

Silence fell over the room.

Lee So-yeon and Joo Hye-ryeong quietly sipped their beer. Jin-woo, Minjae, and Chae-hwan, who had only just realized he'd said something he shouldn't have, all started glancing nervously at Elli.

And Elli.

With cold eyes, she crushed the snack in her hand.

"......"

She wasn't glaring at Chae-hwan.

She was staring at me.

I already felt wronged before she'd even said a word.
