My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 220

It was the same last year, and the year before. It was already an annual event.

Unsurprisingly, there was a game console inside the wrapping paper, along with a few game titles.

“Wow! Thank you!”

It was a reply mixed with acting and sincerity. The games that are out now are old to me, so I can’t fully immerse myself in them, but gradually there will be some that are worth playing.

After I expressed my joy out loud, my aunt looked at Heena.

And with that gaze, Heena was smiling brightly, looking at me.

“Hmm… what could our Heena have asked Santa for?”

Like the year before last and last year, my aunt broached the subject of Heena’s wish with a rather awkward tone this year as well.

That’s because what Heena asked Santa for was the same every year.

So, before Heena could even answer, my mom had already come to me and put a party hat on my head.

A hat with a ribbon tied around it, like a gift wrapping.

After confirming that, Heena answered in a loud voice.

“Yeonwoo!!”

“Oh, geez…”

“Hehe… Yeonwoo is mine!”

-Whack!

At the same time, Heena pulled me towards her and hugged me. I willingly let myself be pulled. It’s not a one- or two-day thing; it happens every year.

Looking at Heena rubbing her cheek against my head, my aunt and uncle gave a bitter smile and handed over a separate gift.

Heena doesn’t usually say what she wants, and even if you ask her what she wants, nothing but my name comes out. So, the two of them must always be deeply troubled.

Last year, they had no choice but to just buy her a pretty rabbit doll, but I wonder what it will be this year.

Heena had no reason to say she didn’t like the gift they were giving her, so after a while, she let go of me and started unwrapping the gift.

And inside the thick wrapping paper was…

“Padding?”

It was a warm-looking padded jacket. In the same color, not one but two.

The moment I saw it, I intuitively knew what they were thinking when they gave it to us.

“Our daughter~ a couple look with Yeonwoo… we already have a lot of couple looks, but you’ve both grown a lot since last year, so I bought something new… no, they must have given it to us~”

They already know that we’ve figured out the truth about Santa, but my aunt is still keeping up the act until the end.

Heena’s eyes lit up at the sight of the thick, pure white padded jacket that looked quite luxurious.

Heena always welcomed anything and everything as long as it was a couple item with me.

“Thank you, Mom!! I love it so much!!”

“Do you like couple looks that much?”

“Yeah! Yeonwoo! Let’s put this on now!”

“Okay.”

We immediately put on the padded jackets together. It was a little big, but we were growing so fast that this size was just right. It’ll probably be too small soon anyway.

“You two look good together~”

“Heena, your dad bought that. Isn’t it nice?”

“Yeah! I love it! Thank you, Dad!”

“Thank you.”

I expressed my gratitude to my uncle, who was smiling contentedly, and we took a picture with our arms linked before taking off the padded jackets. It was too hot to keep wearing them inside the house.

Besides, as my aunt said earlier, we already had countless couple looks, so it wasn’t anything particularly special.

In fact, more than half of our daily outfits could be considered couple looks.

After our gift time was over, the older brothers received appropriate gifts or allowances.

“Should we try this now? Yeonwoo, can I take out this game console?”

“Yeah. Junghoo hyung [older brother], you do it.”

“I want to play too! Han Sunwoo, look at this! Tekken is here too!”

“Really. I’ll be 1P [Player 1].”

“Then I’ll be 2P [Player 2]!”

Junghoo hyung, who is in middle school, was leading the game-loving elementary school students Sunwoo hyung and Heesung hyung and coveting my PlayStation.

I pretended not to know anything and just left everything to Junghoo hyung. Since I’ll always be with Heena, I won’t have much time to play games anyway. Most of the time, the older brothers will be playing.

My parents know that too, so they must have bought it for all of us to play together.

So, the older brothers were noisily setting up the game console in front of the TV, Mom and my aunt were bringing out various snacks, and Dad and my uncle were already raising their glasses.

It was a boisterous Christmas.

It was the same last year and this year. And I’ll probably spend Christmas like this next year too.

As usual, I was sitting quietly, stuck close to Heena, side by side, feeling each other’s warmth.

“Yeonwoo, Yeonwoo.”

“Yeah?”

“Do you like me or games more?”

“I like you much more.”

“Right? You can’t look at the game console more than me. Got it?”

“Yeah. I got it.”

Giving Heena, who was a little jealous, a perfect answer.

By the way, will I be able to take a bath separately next year?

Next episode

I turned 9 years old. Of course, nothing much changed just because I turned 9.

Fortunately, Heena and I were in the same class again, so we were stuck together at home and at school. We were so famous that there was no one among the teachers who didn’t know us.

Except when going to the bathroom, we were always holding hands, we were the center of the children, we didn’t cause problems, and we even received excellent grades in all kinds of competitions.

We just couldn’t help but stand out. Besides, just like the first-grade homeroom teacher, just listening to what someone says and following it already earns you 80% of their favor.

Thanks to that, we were very popular not only with the children but also with the teachers.

In that way, school life was not a problem at all. But life at home was starting to crack little by little.

“Heena is big now, so she should take a bath separately from Yeonwoo, right?”

“I haven’t grown at all. I’m still a kid. So, I can take a bath with Yeonwoo.”

“Where is there a kid who speaks so well?”

“Heena is still young, so she wants to take a bath with Yeonu.”

“……”

“……”

As soon as she heard my aunt’s encouragement, she immediately started making short, lisping sounds without hesitation. At the sight of Heena like that, both my aunt and I lost our words.

Does she want to take a bath with me that much? I don’t dislike it, but it seems like it’s too much for the family to see.

“Mom! Heena is going to take a bath with Yeonu!”

Regardless of our reaction, Heena said that and held my hand tightly, as if she would never let me go alone.

Then my aunt sighed and looked at me this time. She knew it was impossible to persuade Heena.

“Yeonwoo, you’re also growing up quickly, so aren’t you embarrassed to take a bath with Heena?”

“Uh… yes. I’ll do it separately…”

“Yeonwoo. You’ll do it together, right? Huh? You’re not going to do it with me, are you? Huh? You’re going to go in together, right? Huh? Huh~?”

“…I want to take a bath with Heena too.”

“That’s right, Mom!”

“……”

Before my answer was even finished, Heena stuck her face in and started *dapjeongneo* [asking a question with a predetermined answer]. I couldn’t refuse when Heena came out like this.

Actually, I was a little uncomfortable because of the family’s reaction, but I didn’t dislike it. Besides, it’s more fun to be with two people than to take a bath alone, and even if that’s my girlfriend, there’s always a flutter, even if there’s no sexual reaction in the body yet.

But from my aunt’s point of view, it probably seemed like the answer came out due to Heena’s coercion. Rather than blaming me, she was looking at Heena with a face that said, what should I do with this?

Eventually, my aunt sighed deeply and made a decision.

“Lee Heena, this is only until this year. Got it? You can’t do it next year.”

That voice lost the gentleness she usually showed and was filled with firmness.

“Yeah! I got it! Hehe…”

However, Heena didn’t care at all about my aunt’s appearance and lightly agreed.

Looking at her slyly smiling face, I could feel that she would definitely be stubborn next year too.

“Then I’ll go take a bath! But can we have a bubble bath?”

“Mom has already prepared it, so wash it clean and come out. Can you two do it well?”

“Yes! Let’s go, Yeonwoo!”

“I’ll be back.”

9 years old.

Until then, we took a bath together. Together in a large bathtub, with Heena hugging me in the form of sitting down first. Leisurely.

Of course, we weren’t just washing our bodies. Even if we didn’t do anything too strict.

“Kiss my neck~”

“On your neck?”

“Yeah! Quickly~”

We were constantly kissing in any place.

By the way, should I try to persuade her next year? Somehow, it feels a little dangerous.

—

Time passed again, and our daily life, including school life, remained the same.

Immediately after turning 10 years old.

“Lee Heena! Mom told you! You absolutely can’t do it from this year!”

“I don’t want to!!! I’m going to take a bath with Yeonwoo!!”

“You! You say something too!”

“Ahem… Lee Heena! Are you going to keep disobeying Mom and being stubborn?!”

“I don’t know!! I hate Dad!!”

“…Honey, I don’t think this is going to work?”

“Oh, geez! Heesung’s dad, just go over there!”

In the midst of repeating days, if there was one thing that my aunt’s voice would rise about, it was the bath problem.

To be honest, I wasn’t surprised by this scene because I knew that Heena would be stubborn again this year.

Heena usually listens very well and never shows tears, so I knew that if she cried like this, my uncle and aunt would become very weak.

As expected, my uncle had already been shot down by the one word ‘I hate you,’ and my aunt’s voice was gradually getting smaller.

“Hwaaaaaaaang!!”

They couldn’t scold Heena, who was crying as if the world was ending, any further.

And I, who was watching that, my heart aches as a boyfriend for my girlfriend’s sad cry… honestly, my heart didn’t ache.

Because there was a story I had with Heena while sleeping together last year.

“If they don’t allow us to take a bath together next year, I’m just going to cry. If I cry, they’ll definitely allow it.”

“Do you have to go that far?”

“Of course! If we don’t do it together, I don’t want to take a bath anymore!”

“I like Heena who takes a bath every day.”

“Then I’ll do it every day! Since we’ll end up doing it together anyway, I can do it every day!”

“It’s already confirmed.”

It was an openly calculated cry. From the beginning, she had decided to cry if they didn’t let us do it together. She looked very sad, but she was full of ulterior motives.

Heena’s crying made my aunt unable to do this or that, and eventually, she tossed this case to my parents.

She knew that just as my aunt and uncle were weak to Heena, Heena was also weak to my mom and dad, so she entrusted it to them.

But Heena, who was crying so sadly at her house.

“Mother… can’t I take a bath with Yeonwoo…?”

“Hmm…”

“This is… 10 years old is still a bit…”

“Please~”

“……”

“……”

My aunt and uncle, who followed behind, were speechless at the sight of her stopping crying as if she had never cried and acting coyly. They probably never thought that the crying from before was acting.

Besides, it was true that Heena was weak to my parents, but my parents were even weaker to Heena than that. They could never be strict with Heena, let alone me.

In the end, this absurd bath struggle ended with Heena’s victory again this year.

“This is really the last year. Lee Heena, got it? If you act like this again next year, you’ll be punished!”

“Hehehe…”

“I’m going crazy…”

Since she had already received permission anyway, Heena was just snuggling in my arms and giggling at my aunt’s threat.

What can I say here?

It was best to just stay quiet.

—

And the long-awaited 11 years old.

“Mom.”

“Yeah?”

“I’m going to take a bath with Yeonwoo. I’m going to do it even if Mom stops me.”

“Oh my~ you’re going to come out confidently? Good. Didn’t Mom buy a *miri hoechori* [a 미리 회초리 is a small whip or switch prepared in advance for disciplining children] knowing you’d do that?”

“I don’t know! I’m going to do it with Yeonwoo!!”

“Aren’t you coming here right now?! You promised Mom last year!”

“Why are you doing this when Yeonwoo and I are okay with it!”

“Lee Heena!!”

Heena stopped acting clumsy, and my aunt started a war without giving any more breaks.

Just like last year, I stepped back again this year and watched the fight. I even brought snacks and cola next to me in advance.

I was sitting on the floor, snacking as if watching a play, when Heesung hyung came out of the room at the commotion in the living room.

“What’s going on?”

“Hyung, do you want to eat *ppaeppaeoro* [빼빼로 is a popular Korean snack stick covered in chocolate]?”

“No thanks. Hey, but…”

“Why?”

He refused the snack I offered and lowered his voice, bringing it close to my ear and starting to speak.

“Whose side are you on?”

As Heena’s boyfriend, I was naturally on Heena’s side, but that’s probably not what he was curious about. I guess he’s wondering if I want to take a bath with Heena or not.

Of course, I couldn’t honestly answer that part. I lowered my voice like my hyung and whispered.

“The side that wins.”

“Oh… you clever guy.”

Well, that’s what I said, but I was actually cheering for my aunt’s side more. It’s not that I don’t like taking a bath with Heena.

But basically, I was worried that girls grow a little faster than boys and become mentally precocious. Of course, our minds are already adults over 20 years old, but I’m not talking about that, but about the sexual reaction part.

Somehow, I felt a strange feeling in Heena’s touch as she washed my body. It was also difficult that Heena, who had developed various parts physically, kept trying to show it to me.

I was getting anxious that I might cause an accident at the latest in middle school, let alone in high school.

Of course, I was planning to take responsibility for Heena for the rest of my life. And as much as I’ve already seen everything for several years, I didn’t have the mindset that I would never touch her before I became an adult.

But.

But.

Still, wouldn’t it be a bit much to do it in elementary school or middle school?

“Okay! I’ll do it separately!”

“That’s right! If you do that again in the future, you’ll really get a *hoechori* [회초리 is a small whip or switch prepared in advance for disciplining children]!”

“Tch…”

After a long fight, my aunt finally won. The spirit that she would never bend, whether Heena cried or not, was conveyed to me.

Maybe Heena tried it with the mindset that if it works, thank you, and if not, oh well. It was definitely getting dangerous to look at.

“You two play in the living room~ I’ll make you pancakes.”

Anyway, after the fight was over, she came back as a kind aunt again. She immediately went to the kitchen to make our snacks.

In the meantime, Heena came back to my side, hugged me, and whispered softly.

“You know, let’s secretly do it just the two of us when no one’s around. Got it?”

“……”

Heena, you’re a really strong kid?

—

With the annual bath war being the biggest event of the year, we spent every day without anything special.

We were always together, Heena’s family and our family went on trips together every vacation, and we got perfect scores in several competitions every year.

It’s just everyday life.

We took it for granted that we were next to each other, as if we were close family.

Repeating the years like that again.

Until we were 13 years old, in the 6th grade of elementary school.

Next episode

Early morning.

Waking up from sleep and lying blankly with blurry eyes for a few minutes. I waved one hand and checked the phone I had placed on my head, and it was still not even 6 o’clock.

I would have just gone back to sleep if it were normal, but today, my body was refusing to close my eyes. Because of that, I gently started stroking Heena’s cheek, who was sleeping soundly right in front of me, with one hand.

We were banned from taking a bath together from the 4th grade, but my aunt didn’t touch us sleeping together like this. Maybe if she stopped this too, Heena would cry for real, not acting.

“Eung…”

We are already 13 years old. It’s been 9 years since I went back to the past. Heena was gradually finding the *moseup* [모습 means appearance or figure] I remembered back then.

The big eyes, the small nose and mouth were already exactly the same as when I was an adult. Her hair was also very long, and now it almost reached her waist.

Whose girlfriend is she so pretty.

Before I went back to the past, when we first started dating. And from 4 years old until now. This pretty girl who receives the attention of the people around her at a glance.

What words can describe the sense of fulfillment and superiority that she only looks at me and only loves me?

My heart was overflowing with loveliness and affection.

“Ticklish…”

“Ah, sorry. Did I wake you up?”

“Hehehe…”

-Kiss!

Heena, who opened her eyes at my touch, smiled and gave me a short kiss.

“What time is it now?”

“It’s not even 6 o’clock. Sleep more.”

“I’m all awake. And is it fair to only touch me by yourself?”

“Not fair.”

Heena also raised one hand and stroked my cheek. At the same time, she brought her body even closer to me. The body that had naturally fallen a little apart while sleeping was once again tightly 붙어버렸다 [*buteobeoryeotda* means stuck together].

“You’re so cute today too, our Yeonwoo.”

“You too. You’re pretty every day.”

“Really? Am I pretty?”

“Yeah.”
