My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 214

-A Glimpse

It was simply heartbreaking to see Heena so conscious of the attention around her. But it was inevitable.

She said it was enough for only me to find her pretty, but she had always taken the admiring glances for granted. And Heena had always confidently accepted them all.

But now, not anymore.

Her right eye area, her arm, and her leg. The treatment was perfect, but the scars remained red like burn marks, and she twisted her body to hide them.

So others wouldn’t see.

“This *oppa* [older brother or male friend] will feed you this time! Open up!”

“Why do you keep calling me *oppa* just because your birthday is a few days earlier?”

“That still makes you my *oppa*~ Ah~”

“Ah~”

There wasn’t much I could do for Heena.

-Munch munch

Watching Heena nibble on the cake with her small mouth, I naturally said,

“You’re pretty.”

“Oof…! W-What was that all of a sudden!”

“Huh? No, just because.”

“Seriously… Thank you…”

I couldn’t help but smile as I watched Heena shyly avoid my gaze.

That’s all I can do. To tell her my true feelings without making a big deal out of it.

Heena didn’t dislike it because she knew that my words weren’t empty, but filled with sincerity.

Although she’s still struggling with these things, I will always help her heal not only the scars on her body but also the scars in her heart.

Slowly. Taking our time.

Our relationship, our future life, starts now.

—

After that, we enjoyed countless dates. Not as energetically running around, as it was difficult for Heena to move, but in places where we could sit comfortably, take pictures, and play.

I was happy just being with Heena no matter where we went, and Heena loved spending leisurely time holding my hand.

In the meantime, other forms of physical affection gradually increased. Simply holding hands, or linking arms. Hugging each other, deeply feeling each other’s body temperature.

And.

“……”

“Why are you so shy? You used to do it quite often.”

“No… Ah, never mind! Just do it already!”

“Why are you so combative when we’re just kissing…”

After the accident, we inevitably had fewer kisses due to the injuries, but we started kissing again.

But for some reason, Heena was very shy every time. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to; it seemed like she really wanted to, just by looking at the atmosphere, but she couldn’t look me straight in the face.

Heena blushed and hesitated, and after bickering similarly every time,

When I held Heena’s face and looked her straight in the eyes, she would gently close her eyes and wait for me.

-Smooch

And another thing that changed was that our kisses used to be just short pecks.

But now.

“Mmm… More, do more…”

No longer satisfied with such innocent kisses, Heena started clinging to me when I tried to end it quickly.

I hugged Heena even tighter and mixed my tongue with hers as she wished.

“Slurp… Euhng…”

Deep kisses are unfamiliar, so the movements are a bit awkward, but I slowly explore Heena’s lips and tongue as we kiss.

-Slide

Before I knew it, her arms were wrapped around my neck, clinging to me even more passionately as if she wouldn’t let go.

I welcomed this deep physical affection with Heena. Moreover, it was truly touching to see Heena, who used to smile at my face while kissing, now wanting it so much.

“Haa…”

“Satisfied?”

“…Not at all. You have to do it three more times.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

If my girlfriend says so, of course, I have to do it.

—

Our progress in physical affection didn’t end with kissing. As Heena’s condition gradually improved, and as I became more accustomed to college life, the number of days we spent together outside the hospital gradually increased.

Finally, we arrived.

“……”

“A-Are you okay? Your face is so red…”

“I’m okay! I’m totally fine!”

“Doesn’t seem like it.”

Heena, in her underwear, covered her body with her hands in front of me, at a loss for what to do. I was worried about her being so shy, even though my whole body was heating up with excitement at the sight of my girlfriend’s sexy figure.

Eventually, as with the kiss, we bickered for a while before finally getting on the bed together.

And.

When we faced each other naked, without a single thread on, Heena covered her body with her arms and opened her mouth.

With an anxious, trembling voice.

“Is my body… ugly…?”

Next episode

Her face flushed, she couldn’t meet my eyes and asked, looking down.

My heart ached at the sight, but at the same time, I thought it was a relief. It was better for her to talk to me like this than to suffer alone inside.

And from now on, it was up to me.

“Not at all. I always said, right? That you’re pretty.”

“……”

Of course, for me, I was just saying what was in my heart.

Heena didn’t answer. She wouldn’t think my words were lies, but she would still be anxious.

Even if she tried not to pay attention, she would definitely feel the gazes of people passing by, and more than anything, she would see her own scars every day.

I couldn’t dare to fathom the sadness, anxiety, and pain that Heena would feel at that time.

But.

“Heena.”

“…Yeah.”

I pulled Heena, who answered me briefly, towards me and hugged her. I felt Heena’s bare skin all over my body, but right now, more than that feeling, there was something I wanted to say to Heena.

“Is it not enough if I tell you that you’re pretty?”

“No! That’s… not it…”

Was she sobbing? Heena’s body trembled slightly.

I gently patted Heena’s back and slowly continued.

“I can’t dare to know how hard it is for you usually… but I’m always sincere.”

“……”

“You’re pretty. Really. More than anyone else in the world, the most.”

“……”

“If that’s not enough, I’ll tell you more. A hundred times, a thousand times. I’ll tell you every day.”

“……Hic.”

“Whatever other people say, just think of my words. I’ll always tell you that you’re pretty, forever.”

So.

“Just listen to what I say. No matter what anyone says, Heena, you are my girlfriend, the prettiest in the world.”

“…Okay… hic… I understand… hng… I’ll only listen to you… Yeonhoo…”

“That’s right. Good girl, our Heena.”

I gently and softly stroked Heena’s hair. Until Heena’s sobs stopped.

I didn’t think in advance about how to answer when Heena said these words. I just said what came to mind, what I had always kept in my heart.

I don’t know if that comforted Heena, or if it made her feel a little better.

I just hoped it would.

After hugging Heena naked like that, feeling each other’s body temperature, a little time passed.

Heena, who had stopped crying, raised her flushed face and whispered to me.

“Yeonhoo.”

“Yeah.”

“Love me a lot… As much as you want to. Anything is fine as long as it’s from you… Just love me a lot. Please.”

“Of course. I’ll do my best.”

“Hehe… I love you… Forever, I love you…”

“I love you too.”

And we spent our first night together.

A night where we were both a little clumsy because it was our first time, but still, we could feel enough that I loved Heena and Heena loved me.

—

After spending such a first time that I will never forget until I die, our relationship progressed further.

Whether the words I said gave Heena quite a bit of strength, the shadow on her face that was sometimes seen until now could no longer be found.

Not only that, but Heena’s physical affection became more uninhibited and deeper. No matter who was watching, she really didn’t care at all and expressed her love.

I was very glad about that, and as a boyfriend, I was very happy with my girlfriend’s actions.

I’m happy, but.

“Yeonhoo~ Kiss~”

“…Heena. Not here…”

“Whyyy~”

“I haven’t trained my mentality enough to be able to do it confidently in front of my parents…”

Heena started not caring about the situation too much, which was a bit of a problem. She didn’t care ‘at all’ if my parents or Heena’s parents were nearby.

My parents didn’t say anything because they thought it was nice to see, but it was hard for me to endure. Those approving eyes, that is.

Anyway, from then on, our relationship was very smooth. And not only our relationship, but we also started to think about our future together.

Since it would be difficult for Heena to work, I had to be able to take responsibility for Heena with my own income. So, I paid more attention to managing my grades than before, and I also worked hard to get various certifications and study foreign languages.

And Heena was now receiving outpatient treatment, and at home, she was in the midst of bride training. Learning all sorts of housework that a housewife should do from Heena’s aunt, and also learning to cook.

Thanks to that, when I stopped by Heena’s house, Heena’s cooking would sometimes be on the dinner table.

“Yeonhoo, how is it? Is it okay?”

“Of course. The seasoning is perfect for me. It’s so delicious.”

“I’m glad~ I was wondering if it was a little bland.”

“Bland, my foot. It’s almost as good as Auntie’s skills now.”

“Oh my…”

“Trying so hard…”

“Hehe…”

Heena, who seemed like there was nothing she couldn’t do or wouldn’t do, was surprisingly terrible at cooking.

It’s not that it doesn’t taste bad at all, but it has a subtle, not-so-good feeling. Honestly, if I were to rate it, it would be about 3 out of 5 stars, but sometimes a white lie is necessary.

Heena smiled brightly at my flattery, my aunt smiled bitterly, and Heesung hyung [older brother] and my uncle looked at me with pity.

Why, what. Why are you looking at me like that? I can eat anything Heena makes for me!

I took a deep breath and diligently ate the stew that Heena made. As if I didn’t want anyone to take it away, I ate it aggressively.

“Don’t eat so fast. What if you get indigestion… Is it that delicious?”

“That’s what I’m saying. I want to eat it every day.”

“Every day… Hehe… Yeah, I want to make it for you every day…”

“Cough.”

I suddenly choked.

Every day… Every day… If I make it often, my skills will improve, right…?

That’s how the dinner, which I put all my effort into, came to an end, and while my aunt and Heena went to wash the dishes, my uncle grabbed my shoulder in the living room and said.

“Yeonhoo. No, son-in-law.”

“Son-in-law, you say.”

“Please take good care of our Heena in the future.”

“……”

I was more touched by that determined look… I mean, could it be that this uncle is doing this because I ate Heena’s cooking well?

I had such doubts, but still, I felt inwardly excited as if I had been approved for marriage with Heena.

Yeah.

I’m going to be with Heena for the rest of my life, so I’ll have to get used to it in the future.

To this… cooking skill…

—

The days when I visited Heena’s house increased, and the days when Heena came to our house increased, and the relationship between the two families gradually became closer.

One day, while we were gathered and drinking, the story came out that ‘Let’s just consider this as a formal meeting between the families!’

And from the moment that story came out, Heena almost lived in our house. Calling my parents Mom and Dad, and diligently making a good impression.

In our smooth-sailing relationship like that, there was only one thing.

A trial came.

“Hwaaaa…”

“I’ll call you and write you a lot of letters. And you can come to see me in 5 weeks… So stop crying, Heena. Stop it!”

“Hic… What am I going to do when you leave… Hic…”

“It’s not like I’m leaving forever, time will fly by. Come here. I’ll hug you until I leave.”

“Take care of yourself… Hic… Never get hurt…”

“I know. You take care of yourself too. Don’t skip rehab. Got it?”

It was my military enlistment date that was approaching. As a healthy man in his 20s, I was enlisting in the army as an active-duty soldier without any problems, and thanks to that, Heena stayed with me for days and nights until I entered the training camp.

In the end, she burst into tears all day on the day of departure.

To be honest, it would be a lie if I didn’t have any worries about military life, but I was more worried about Heena, who was crying so loudly, than about military life.

Still, as a man of the Republic of Korea, I couldn’t avoid the military. In the meantime, Heena even brought up the idea of having a child and going to work as a full-time reserve soldier.

I was a little tempted by that offer, but it was impossible because it came out less than a month before enlistment…

“Have a hard time. Make sure to get a perfect score in shooting. I’ll give you more call time.”

“I’m also a fps [first-person shooter] master… Thanks for coming all the way here, *hyung* [older brother or male friend].”

“Yeonhooyaaa…”

“I love you, Heena. Then I’ll be back for a bit.”

“Hic… I love you… Take care of yourself, really…”

I smiled as much as possible to make Heena feel less anxious, and military life began after a tearful farewell.

Fortunately, I was able to spend it smoothly without any accidents or problems. There was a pretty funny guy, so I even enjoyed it to some extent.

After 5 weeks of training camp life, from the time I was assigned to the unit.

“Yeonhoo~ I’m here!”

“Don’t jump around too much. You sprained it once last time when you did that.”

“How can I not be happy! Here’s a hamburger! You said you wanted to eat it, right?”

“Thanks~ I suddenly craved it a lot.”

“Hehe, eat a lot~ Ah! I also packed *kimbap* [Korean seaweed rice rolls] separately…”

“Oh…”

“Can you eat it all?”

“I have to eat it no matter what. Thank you.”

Heena came to visit almost every week. Except for when there was training or when the number of visitors was full, she came no matter what.

Thanks to that, there was almost no one in the unit who didn’t know Heena. There were so many people who envied her because she was so devoted.

After 18 months of military life, where Heena came to visit and I always spent time with Heena when I went on vacation.

“Yeonhoo!!”

“Salute!!”

“You’ve worked hard!! I’ve made a lot of delicious food, so let’s go quickly!”

“Gasp…”

“Huh?”

“Ah, no. I’m excited… But you’re pretty today too. Our Heena.”

“Hehe, you’re cool too! The best!”

I came back home. Holding Heena’s hand tightly.

—

After that, time passed like an arrow.

After being discharged from the military.

I also graduated from college with good grades.

Now, I was already working at a solid mid-sized company, marking my second year.

And if I were to talk about the biggest event that happened in the meantime.

It was my marriage with Heena.

Junghoo *hyung* [older brother] and Yoonjung *noona* [older sister] got married the year before last, and we got married right the following year.

In fact, I was thinking of considering marriage or independence only after I had more experience and my life was more established.

But.

“We’ll take care of the house, so don’t worry.”

“I’m so sorry…”

“Sorry for what… Heena smiles so happily thanks to you. Rather, we are always grateful to you, Yeonhoo.”

“…Thank you. I’ll make you happy forever, forever.”

“Okay, that’s enough. I’ve already talked to your in-laws, so you don’t have to worry about the cost.”

Both families worked together to help with everything. From the wedding to the house and the wedding gifts. Everything, to the point where I really didn’t spend a penny of my own money.

Originally, my mother-in-law had asked if I would like to come and live with them. Actually, I didn’t mind. They were both good people, and I was close to Heesung *hyung* [older brother].

But my father-in-law opposed that story. No matter how well they treat me, living with the in-laws would be uncomfortable, and if you’re a man, you have to build your own family after getting married, so he pushed this forward.

In addition to my parents, Heesung *hyung* [older brother] and our *hyungs* [older brothers or male friends] also contributed a lot of money. To our wedding.

“Ah, I’m going to enjoy life a little more, so you guys use it.”

“I’m not planning on getting married, so you guys use it.”

“Yoonjung and I don’t have any plans to be independent for a while anyway, so you guys use it.”

“Junghoo and I are too busy to spend money! Besides, I’m going to live with my in-laws~ So you guys use it!”

While almost forcibly handing us money, my heart was so full that I couldn’t say anything.

I was just grateful.

That I am family with these people.

Anyway, we had a wedding in the midst of blessings, and we started living as newlyweds in our own nest.

Well, what more is there to say?

Every day was happiness itself.
