My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty

82 – 32. Eli and My Intimate and Weird Time

“That’s so… I… I…!”

“Well, it can happen sometimes…”

“No way…!”

-*Kwaak!*

As I tried to comfort her, Eli’s hand, which was grasping my collar, tightened its grip even more. Her eyes were welling up with tears, and she seemed to be feeling embarrassed and ashamed to the extreme.

Her appearance was so cute that I wanted to give her a peck on the cheek, but I held back, thinking that if I did, I’d get scolded by my girlfriend from the second day of our cohabitation.

After a while, Eli took a deep breath, composed herself, and muttered in a small voice.

“…I’ll never drink again from now on.”

“Uh, yeah… I mean, alcohol isn’t that good for the body anyway.”

“Hah, frustrating… embarrassing…”

I wanted to see Eli drunk and carefree, but I bit back those words and swallowed them instead.

After that, Eli continued to tremble with self-loathing, then got down from the bed and headed towards the door.

Trying her best not to show me her face.

She only glanced at me briefly, and otherwise avoided eye contact.

Maybe it was because she was still feeling embarrassed about what had just happened.

But to me, she was just lovely.

-*Thud*

Eli left the room first, and I followed behind her.

The living room, which was still unfamiliar but not too spacious, was a decent place for the two of us to live together.

Our parents, who had said they would come and sleep over, were considerate of us and didn’t make an appearance.

“I guess they went back home early in the morning.”

“Yeah, it’s close by. It only takes 15 minutes to walk.”

“Yeah.”

We stood in front of the door, gazing blankly at the living room, our new home.

A space that would become our haven, still unfamiliar but already giving us a sense of comfort.

Just then.

I sneaked up behind Eli.

And as I was about to wrap my arms around her waist.

“Stop.”

“…What?”

“I need to take a shower. Wait for me.”

I got rejected by Eli.

As she gathered her hair to the front, I was reminded of the scent I smelled whenever I hugged her.

It was definitely a sensitive area. I understood that and took a step back.

But the strange anticipation and excitement that were now making my heart flutter were making me…

“Hey, do you want to shower together? I can help you.”

I blurted out those words, a mix of 10% joke and 90% sincerity.

“…….”

Eli trembled at my words, her body shaking as she fell into deep thought.

But soon after.

“…Not yet. Next time.”

Kka-bi.

“I got it. I’ll make coffee while you shower?”

“No, I don’t feel well, so it’s okay for now.”

“Okay, I’ll just wait.”

“Alright.”

With that, Eli hurriedly entered the bathroom, as if she couldn’t show her current self anymore.

-Pshhh…

The sound of the showerhead came on immediately after the bathroom door closed.

Hearing that, I couldn’t help but feel a little excited. The image of my girlfriend showering naked naturally popped into my mind.

I tried not to think about it too much and wandered around the house.

The kitchen, which would be Eli’s private space, and the living room where we had laughed and drunk with our family yesterday. The small sofa where Eli and I could sit and rest together.

The room filled with our clothes, which Eli had neatly organized yesterday.

Our bedroom with the large bed, Eli’s dresser, and my computer. Our own little world.

As I leisurely looked around the house, which was already filled with Eli’s scent, I felt happy again.

“Mark ajusshi won’t be here, so we can wear dolphin pants all day in the summer, right? I’m looking forward to it.”

Thinking that we would share our daily routines with each other 24/7, I smiled brightly at the thought of seeing my childhood friend’s rough side often.

As I went to grab a change of clothes, I opened the closet one by one.

I still didn’t know exactly where my clothes were. Eli had done all the organizing yesterday.

Thanks to that.

“…….”

I unintentionally opened a drawer filled with only Eli’s underwear.

It was filled with various colors, including ones I knew and ones I didn’t.

I stared at the drawer, which was filled with a strange scent, without realizing it, and then closed it again after a while.

No great temptation arose.

“It’s more meaningful if Eli wears them.”

Of course, as a man in his prime, just the fact that they were my girlfriend’s underwear made my heart race, but there was no reason to linger since I would see her wear them soon anyway.

Anyway, I confirmed that my underwear was in the drawer below and grabbed a change of clothes, including an inner wear, and got up from my seat.

Then.

-Click

The sound of the bathroom door opening was heard, perfectly timed.

I immediately got up and headed out of the room. I had to hurry up and shower so I could spend more time with Eli and have a lovely day.

With that in mind, I walked towards the bathroom with light, bouncy steps.

And.

Even though the door had opened, Eli still hadn’t come out of the bathroom, and emerged a little late, wrapped in only a large towel.

Whoa.

“……Huh.”

My breath caught at the unexpected, stimulating sight.

Her wet hair, no makeup, but still the most beautiful face of my girlfriend.

Her slender, white neck and shoulders, arms, and legs, which were revealed from her chest to her thighs.

The outfit that revealed more skin than a swimsuit, yet possessed a stronger destructive power, had stiffened me in front of her.

Eli, with a flushed face, possibly from taking a shower or for some other reason, spoke in a low tone.

“Hurry up and come out. We have a schedule to keep.”

“……Okay.”

“…Hmph. You’re making a silly face. What’s with this reaction?”

Eli, with a hint of mischief in her reddened face, added as she passed by me.

“There’s more to come ahead.”

“…….”

“Shower and get ready quickly.”

“…Yes.”

As I brushed past her, I was overwhelmed by the heat and body wash scent emanating from her body, still fresh from the shower.

I couldn’t help but take my time in the shower, and it wasn’t just because I was washing more thoroughly than usual.

There were other reasons too.

For starters, the shower products Eli used, mixed together on the bathroom shelf, gave me a strange feeling.

And then…

“…You really left just one out.”

Only one shower towel was hung up, the same one Eli had used just moments ago, still dripping with water.

It was… too intimate.

So, my shower time inevitably took longer.

It was unavoidable.

***

After the long shower, when I came out, Eli was waiting for me, having finished her makeup to some extent.

She was dressed in a casual outfit, a mix of jeans and knitwear, giving off a relaxed, outdoorsy vibe.

It seemed like she was planning to take a stroll outside with me, but the clothes she brought for me to wear in front of the bathroom were just a T-shirt and cold-weather pants, a rough, stay-at-home look.

I quietly put it on and approached Eli, who smiled, looking pleased.

I understood that she wanted to see me in comfortable clothes, but I wished she would dress comfortably too… Perhaps she still wanted to show off her dressed-up look.

After all, when we lived together, she would often come to my room in her loungewear.

Anyway, in that state, Eli and I sat side by side on the living room sofa.

“…….”

“…….”

It was just a few days into the new year.

The bright sunlight streaming through the window created a refreshing morning atmosphere.

The simple, clutter-free living room sofa.

We were truly alone here, just the two of us.

There was no need to worry about family members suddenly returning or checking when they would come back.

This was our own space.

“…….”

“…….”

“Did you submit your application well?”

“Ah, I did. The teacher helped me, so it was comfortable.”

“Unconditional pass, right?”

“Well, maybe. I didn’t apply to a prestigious university like a medical school, so…”

“Yeah. You did well.”

“Uh-huh.”

“…….”

“…….”

After a silence, the words that barely came out were the same stories as yesterday. The atmosphere became slightly awkward as we repeated those conversations.

Eli, who had always acted as if she would devour me whenever we were alone, showed a slightly hesitant appearance today.

I thought maybe it was because she hadn’t taken the first step yet.

When we had kissed at the music video shoot, it was very awkward at first, but as time passed, Eli’s active advances continued.

In fact, our first time was implicitly set for tonight.

The first day of living alone was excluded since we had promised to drink with our parents, and it was clear we couldn’t wait any longer.

So, I didn’t schedule anything from early to mid-January. Eli was the same.

Yeah.

In that situation…

As I wondered what to do with Eli until tonight, a question suddenly arose.

‘Is there a reason to do it only at night?’

Of course, a dark night is better in terms of atmosphere and emotions, but…

‘Once we start… we can’t stop for a few days, whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night.’

It was a confident expectation.

Then, whenever we start, it will eventually be similar.

I was thinking that, and Eli probably wouldn’t be much different.

So…

‘Let’s do it.’

I made up my mind to start like a man.

I leaned in close to Eli, my body tilting in.

“What’s up.”

Eli’s surprised words came out due to my sudden approach. But she didn’t seem to have any intention of avoiding me, just like always.

As always, I gently overlapped our lips.

“Juk…”

“Mm… yeah…”

Then, Eli responded to my kiss as if she had been waiting, her eyes slowly closing.

Our first kiss and our first night.

I gazed at my small girlfriend’s face, her long eyelashes caught in my eyes.

Her lips were gently kissed, and licked.

As I moved my hand.

“Haah… Chuu…”

-Swoosh…

As our tongues entwined, I caressed Eli’s wrist, and then stroked her thigh over her jeans.

I gradually moved up, and placed my hand on Eli’s waist for a moment.

Slowly.

A little higher.

And then.

Although it was still over her clothes, her prominent chest stood out.

From around the time I entered puberty, I would unknowingly gaze at my girlfriend’s large breasts every day, and now I had my hands on them.

“……!”

At the same time, Eli’s eyes widened.

But Eli didn’t push away my hand on her chest.

“…….”

Her body stiffened slightly, and her face was filled with surprise, but I saw excitement rather than rejection in her expression.

I paused our kiss for a moment, still with our lips almost touching.

“I love you, Eli.”

I didn’t ask for permission for what was about to happen.

I just whispered my love.

“…I love you too, Ido-yoon.”

Eli also replied with love.

“……Hoo…! Chuu… Zzuup… Haaah…!”

At that moment, our kiss became even more intense.

Eli’s arm wrapped tightly around my neck, and I pressed my lips onto hers, putting my hand inside her clothes.

And so, from that moment on, we…

Exchanged our firsts once again.

To my beloved childhood friend and girlfriend, Eli.

I gave her everything.

And I received everything from Eli.
