My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

74 – 28. Nineteen-year-old Elly’s Bridal Class -2

In the morning, they would chat and joke around, but the atmosphere in the third-year classroom was suffocating.

Even Shin Chae-ho, who loved to cause a ruckus, and Jin-woo were focused on their studies.

Among them, Elly…

“…….”

-Flap-

While her friends were engrossed in their studies, Elly was leisurely flipping through a recipe book.

“What should I make for snacks this weekend…”

Elly’s mind had long forgotten about her school subjects. She had already given up on her studies, and even her mother had come to school for a three-way meeting.

Although Elly had studied hard, her grades were good enough to get into a decent university, so her teacher had tried to persuade her.

“Just think about it a little more, okay? Your mom also said something. It’s not that college is everything in life, but it’s definitely better to go…”

“Teacher.”

“Yes?”

“I’m going to prepare for my wedding. I’ll quit cooking school too.”

“…….”

“I’m not interested in studying, and I don’t want to waste any more time. I’ll focus on modeling instead.”

“…Allysha.”

“Yes.”

“Are you going to marry Do-yoon?”

“…….”

“Hehehe… Our kid wants to get married as soon as possible, so we’ve talked about it a lot.”

“It’s a pity… Sigh… Well, it’s… Envious…”

As time passed, Elly’s beauty shone brighter, and she became a celebrity in school, known by everyone since her first year.

Her platinum hair, white skin, and blue eyes were unforgettable to anyone who saw her even once.

Thanks to her fame, the rumor about Elly giving up her studies to take bridal classes spread quickly after the three-way meeting.

There were also stories about girls who received cold stares or teared up when they saw Do-yoon, but…

Anyway.

After all those incidents, Elly was able to confidently open her recipe book during self-study time.

“Tottie pizza sounds good too. Do-yoon will like it… It’s easy to eat while studying.”

Her only concern was for her boyfriend, Do-yoon.

And Elly was extremely happy at that moment. Honestly, she had been tired of studying since middle school, and it was a burden to her.

She had studied with Do-yoon and So-yeon during exam periods because she didn’t want to fall behind, and she had tried her best to get into the same university as Do-yoon.

“I’ll do well, don’t worry.”

Do-yoon’s grades had skyrocketed, and now Elly could give up on her dream of attending the same university.

Of course, it wouldn’t be true to say she had no romantic fantasies about university life with Do-yoon, but Elly was extremely happy with her current situation.

She had never enjoyed studying, but thinking about what dishes to make for her boyfriend was incredibly delightful.

“Even grandma has come over.”

Waking up early in the morning to prepare meals was, of course, a tiring and exhausting task, but for Eli, it was the most enjoyable time of the day.

Her prospective mother-in-law found her attitude admirable and, as a result, had recently allowed her to openly visit her son in the morning.

So, she could gaze at the sleeping Idoyun, do as she pleased, and even steal a kiss.

Moreover, seeing her boyfriend savor the meal she had prepared and express gratitude with a bright smile filled her with immense satisfaction.

“Thank you every day, Eli. I love you.”

And with those sweet words, accompanied by a kiss, and being embraced by his increasingly muscular arms.

“…….”

Eli’s body and mind couldn’t help but burn with passion.

She wanted to make the always-smiling boyfriend hers alone as soon as possible.

Of course, he was already her man, but she wanted to spend more intimate time with him, just the two of them.

Now, the day was approaching.

“After enrolling in college…”

Their cohabitation plan was already set in motion. It wasn’t just Eli’s imagination.

If Idoyun safely got into college, they would get permission from both parents to live together.

Then.

-gulp-

Eli gazed at the cookbook, unknowingly swallowing her saliva. Her mind was filled with vivid fantasies.

She had said that if she studied hard and listened well, she would be rewarded, but in reality, it was what she wanted to do.

She wasn’t particularly interested in cosplay, but the sight of her boyfriend getting excited over it sparked her curiosity.

Of course, on the first night.

“Should I prepare my underwear in advance?”

With innocent, yet provocative underwear, she planned to capture her boyfriend’s heart.

***

“Study hard.”

“Are you going home right away today?”

“I plan to.”

Eli bid farewell to Idoyun, who was staying behind at school for self-study.

“Chup… Chook…”

In a hidden corner of the school, they shared a secret kiss.

Although it was regrettable that they wouldn’t see each other for a few hours, Eli suppressed her feelings and headed home.

As soon as she returned, she took a shower, changed her clothes, and headed to the neighboring house.

As she entered, Song Jieun and Jung Yerin, who were chatting in the living room, stood up to greet her.

“Our daughter is back~ Shall we start soon?”

“It’s hard to find things to do since you come over so often.”

“But it’s admirable that you’re eager to learn~”

“What are you doing today?”

“The usual.”

The reason Eli had come to this house was simple.

To learn household chores.

It wasn’t like they were receiving some special training, but rather, the two mothers were just doing what they usually did together.

From now on, Eli would be spending most of her time at home, getting used to her life as a wife.

Perhaps because of this, Eli found household chores to be as enjoyable as cooking.

“Heh, heh-heh~”

She hummed a tune while doing the laundry, imagining the scene where she and Yoon would be alone in their own space soon.

“I used to love playing outside when I was young… Now, it seems like this is my calling…”

“That’s right~ Eli always came back with scraped knees. Was it in first grade? Eli got a bleeding knee, and Yoon cried, remember?”

“That’s right… Oh, our son was so cute back then… He’s still cute now, but now he’s cool too.”

“Yoon has become so dependable too~ Now, Eli can send him off anytime.”

“It’s still far off… Ah, really, seeing him work hard every day makes me want to pamper him even more.”

Eli knew that Song Ji-eun’s words, saying it’s still far off, were just things she said out of her love for her son.

But now, even such reactions were scarce.

As Eli made an effort to learn household chores every day for Yoon’s sake, she naturally earned the recognition of her future mother-in-law.

“Mother-in-law.”

“…Yes. Call me whatever you want. What’s going on, future daughter-in-law?”

“I was thinking of taking Yoon shopping on Sunday.”

“You’re thinking of getting points with me by doing that, right? Want to go shopping and eat together? It’s been a while since I picked out clothes for Yoon.”

“Let’s do it together.”

“Wait~ Eli, what about your mom? Am I going?”

“Your mom has work on Sunday.”

“Then how about we go on Saturday?”

“That day, Yoon has a study group with his friends, so it’s not possible.”

“…Are you really going to go just the three of us?”

“Yes.”

“…….”

“We’ll go to the department store, buy clothes, watch a movie, and eat lunch.”

“Just like our daughter-in-law. Your plan is excellent too.”

“Our daughter… is already taking better care of her in-laws than her own parents… That’s right… That’s how it should be… To be loved by her husband and mother-in-law, she has to do that…”

“I’ll go with you next time when I have time.”

“Sniffle…”

“Don’t cry out loud.”

They chatted like friends as they finished their household chores one by one, cleaning, doing laundry, and planning dinner together.

This time was enjoyable for Eli too. Living with her in-laws might not be so bad… She thought, at least for a moment.

Still, it was lacking compared to the time she spent alone with Yoon.

After finishing all the household chores, Eli went out to buy ingredients for tomorrow’s breakfast.

“Hey, Eli?”

“Vinny unnie. Are you just getting off work?”

“I just did~ Where are you going?”

“Buying ingredients for tomorrow’s breakfast.”

“You’re attending school and taking bridal lessons seriously these days, aren’t you? You’re really good at household chores, even better than me~”

Eli faced Seon-woo Bin, whose face was filled with fatigue.

Since she started dating Seo-jeong Woo last year, she had been gaining energy from their relationship, despite the difficulties at work.

However, after Seo-jeong Woo enlisted in the military mid-last year, the dark circles under her eyes had deepened again.

“Go take a rest. Have a moderate amount of drinks.”

“If I don’t have that, I’ll die… and it seems like there aren’t many days left for us to drink together.”

Seon-woo Bin, who smiled faintly as if looking forward to that day, leaned in close to Eli and whispered in a soft voice.

“Eli, do you know that being a wife isn’t just about cooking and cleaning?”

“What’s that supposed to mean? What else is there?”

“Of course, it’s about nighttime activities~ That’s the most important part, isn’t it?”

“…….”

“If you have any questions later, contact me. I’ll explain it to you in detail.”

“…Unnie.”

“Yeah~”

“Please take care of it by December.”

“Hehe, got it~ I’ll go now~”

With a sly smile, Seon-woo Bin headed home, and Eli took the elevator, twirling her hair beside her ear.

Her face felt hot, and the strange thoughts she had earlier resurfaced in her mind.

“Nighttime activities… yeah… that’s essential. I need to learn the theory. Cosplay is just an event, anyway…”

For Eli, living together was like getting married.

So, she was fully invested in her “wife lessons” today, too, with only a year left until that day.

Her schedule was packed until December, anyway.
