My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 229

“O-Of course! And I told you, it’s not like that anymore…”

“I’ll trust you since it’s you. Be careful.”

“Okay…”

She felt wronged by such suspicion, but also a little sorry. She knew better than anyone how much Han Sarang liked her dad. Almost to a worrying degree.

But even if she was suspected of such things, Lee Ju-eun loved going to Han Sarang’s house.

It had always been that way, but since Han Sarang moved in sixth grade, it was a chance to hang out with her since she would always go straight home. And, one way or another, she could see the likable Han Yeon-hoo.

“Noona~” [Noona is a Korean term used by younger males to address older females whom they are close to.]

“Ulssyo~ Were you having fun?”

“Kyaa! Hi, Somang!”

“Hi, Ju-eun noona.”

“Seriously, this is crazy, crazy… What is this cuteness? It’s new every time I see her…”

“Hehe, my little sister is cute, isn’t she!”

She could also see Han Somang, who was so cute it was hard to tell if she was a person or a doll.

And there was.

“Oh my, Ju-eun, you’re here?”

“Hello!”

“Hi~ Auntie’s been busy, so it’s been a while~”

It was because she could see Lee Hee-na, her role model. Lee Hee-na naturally called herself ‘Auntie,’ but Lee Ju-eun thought it was absolutely ridiculous.

When she was 14, Lee Hee-na was only 34. And her appearance made her look even younger, so anyone seeing them together would definitely think they were only sisters.

Anyway, if the feelings Lee Ju-eun had for Han Yeon-hoo were vague liking, what she felt for Lee Hee-na was clear admiration. It couldn’t be helped.

She was such a sucker for looks that her hobby was scrutinizing Han Sarang’s face, so she couldn’t help but be captivated by Lee Hee-na’s beauty. Plus, the fact that she was a successful career woman at a major company was so cool.

Yet, she was always as kind and gentle as Han Yeon-hoo, which was perfect.

“Please continue to get along well with Sarang.”

-Smile

Thanks to that, whenever Lee Hee-na gave her a soft smile and spoke to her.

“Y-Yes!”

She couldn’t help but blush, feeling like a heart was being pierced. She thought that face was really unfair. And this was also why she was so weak to Han Sarang.

Lee Ju-eun liked Han Yeon-hoo’s warmth and Lee Hee-na’s beauty and ability, and Han Sarang had all of those qualities as if she was claiming to be their daughter.

Of course, she had been close to Han Sarang since they were so young, so she never felt any fluttering feelings for her. Except when she used her face to pressure her with surprise attacks, she couldn’t help but feel her heart race.

Because of that, whenever she spent time with this family, Lee Ju-eun felt like she was with her favorite celebrities.

Even now, several years later, as a sophomore in high school.

—

A few days after Han Sarang broke their promise and left for a sudden date with her dad.

Lee Ju-eun happily left her house. Han Sarang had called her to a cafe, saying she would make up for last time. And she even told her that her family would be coming with her.

Usually, spending time with a friend’s parents might be uncomfortable, but not for Lee Ju-eun.

Han Yeon-hoo, who was full of likability, Lee Hee-na, who was still her role model, her best friend Han Sarang, and the cute and adorable Han Somang, who inherited Lee Hee-na’s beauty.

She was always welcome.

“Jju! Over here!”

“Yeah! Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Han. Hi, Somang~”

“It’s been a while, Ju-eun. Want to pick something to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”

“Ah, thank you!”

“Hehe, hello~ Somang, stop playing games and say hi to your noona, okay?”

“Hi, noona.”

Really, it was always a warm and loving family. Just being around them made her feel a strange excitement.

Han Yeon-hoo was sitting inside with Han Somang leaning on his shoulder, playing a game on her phone. And Lee Hee-na and Han Sarang were sitting across from them.

At that moment, Lee Ju-eun felt a question about this arrangement. Of course, even if it was next to Han Yeon-hoo, there were only two seats, so all three family members couldn’t squeeze in, but still, she had seen it for over a decade.

Either Han Sarang or Auntie would definitely want to take the seat next to Mr. Han, but only Han Somang was sitting next to him.

Wondering about that, she paused for a moment, and then Han Sarang got up from her seat and pointed inside.

“Jju, sit here in the middle!”

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

“Ju-eun, you look so cute and pretty in your outfit today~ I can’t recognize you every time I see you.”

“No, you’re always so pretty, Auntie…”

“Thank you.”

She was a little embarrassed that they were trying to seat her in the middle, but on the other hand, she was happy. To be able to sit between two beauties and look at Han Yeon-hoo and Han Somang, what could be a more perfect spot?

So everyone sat down, and after receiving their drinks and desserts, they chatted about each other’s recent events.

“Really? You got confessed to again?”

“Yes… I even wrote ‘Confessions strictly declined’ on my profile picture like Sarang…”

“It can’t be helped since Jju is cute~”

“Wow, Ju-eun is still popular? Sarang, what about you? Aren’t you interested in a boyfriend?”

“Not interested~ I like playing with my dad more!”

“Ahem, really?”

Han Yeon-hoo couldn’t hide his happy expression at Han Sarang’s firm words. He was happy for a moment, twitching his lips, but then he felt a little awkward showing that side of himself to his daughter’s friend, so he took Han Somang’s hand and got up from his seat.

“I’ll take Somang to the bathroom.”

“Okay~”

Lee Ju-eun glanced at their backs as they went inside and felt a smile spread across her face. It was a very enjoyable time for her. It was nice to chat with her best friend after a long time, and she was happy that Lee Hee-na complimented her on dressing up nicely.

In a very excited mood, she was thinking, ‘Maybe I can follow them home and hang out later?’ Her thoughts continued, ‘And maybe even sleep over?’ as she sipped her drink with a grin.

But that happiness was only up to this point.

“So, Ju-eun?”

“Ugh! Y-Yes? Auntie?”

Suddenly called by Lee Hee-na.

She was startled and turned her head, and Lee Hee-na’s face, which had come closer, was right next to her. At the same time, she felt her heart pounding in that situation where their bodies were close together. Not only Lee Hee-na, but also Han Sarang was sticking close to her.

No matter which way she turned her eyes, there was a pretty face, and there was a nice scent, and thanks to that, she couldn’t move like a middle school boy.

And to her, Lee Hee-na, her role model and the original face genius, whispered.

“I heard that Ju-eun still likes our husband… Is that true~?”

“…Huh? What are you talking about…”

“Jju. Tell me honestly.”

“N-No! No way!! No!”

“Hmph, really?”

“It’s a lie, Mom. I told you? Whenever I say I’m going to see Dad, she wants to tag along.”

“Th-That’s not… It’s not that… But it’s not that!”

While desperately denying it, Lee Ju-eun couldn’t come to her senses as the distance between the two got closer and closer. It might have been a happy situation if it wasn’t such an accusatory conversation.

But knowing how much this mother and daughter liked the head of the family, Han Yeon-hoo, she even thought her life might be in danger. And she absolutely didn’t want to be misunderstood by Lee Hee-na, whom she admired.

And now Lee Ju-eun realized the meaning of this seating arrangement. It was a scheme to trap her in the middle and beat her up.

“Our Ju-eun, did you dress up so pretty today to show our husband?”

“100 percent. She never dresses like this usually!”

“You, you wear this even when you’re just hanging out with me!”

“…Oh, I guess I did?”

“Auntie, you know that’s not true, right? I like Auntie, Sarang, and Somang all!”

“Auntie can trust you, right?”

“Of course!”

She felt suffocated by the close distance where she could even feel their breath, and she answered urgently.

It was heaven and hell at the same time. Facing the eyes of two face geniuses at close range was even more mentally exhausting than this interrogation-like conversation.

Then, fortunately, the two who had gone to the bathroom returned to their seats.

“Wow, the bathroom is super clean because it’s a new place.”

“Really? I liked this place because the interior is neat and the coffee is good, so let’s come here often.”

“This cream is also super delicious! Thanks for telling me, Jju~ Thank you!”

“U-Uh…”

As soon as Han Yeon-hoo returned to his seat, the two mothers and daughters straightened their posture and continued the conversation with a smile as if nothing had happened. Lee Ju-eun sighed inwardly at their quick change of attitude.

They were really good friends and an auntie she admired.

They just liked Mr. Han too much.

“Ju-eun. Do you want to have dinner later? I’ve prepared a lot of things that Ju-eun likes.”

“I’ll go… Thank you… Hehe.”

Of course, she understood that feeling well too.

Next episode

IF. My boyfriend is too good to me (Gender swap TS version)

Han Yeon-ah. 18 years old. High school girl.

18 years of studying moderately and hanging out with friends moderately. Today, she was secretly chatting with her friends through KakaoTalk [a popular messaging app in South Korea] during self-study time and was returning home.

On her way home, which she walked without much thought as usual, she faced an unbelievable moment.

It was dark, but not too narrow, and there were many streetlights, and there were people passing by a little further away in that alley.

In the middle of it, there was a figure clearly waiting for me.

I don’t know exactly, but at least 15cm taller than me. Fair skin and distinct features that seemed to shine under a neat ash cut.

I could tell just by the appearance that caught my eye as I walked by. It was a beauty that was no less than the male idols that I and my friends were screaming about today.

I couldn’t help but look at that face, and I tried to pass by while glancing at it, but I couldn’t. Those eyes were definitely looking at me.

What, what, what! Is he lost? Or is he trying to extort money? Is he just looking to see if he knows someone?

To be honest, I, Han Yeon-ah, was a girl who was considered pretty. I had received confessions when I was in middle school, which was co-ed.

But conscientiously, I didn’t think that the man in front of me would fall for me.

Then why is he looking at me…?

As I was slowly passing by with his warm gaze that I couldn’t understand, suddenly, that man confidently walked towards me.

To me, who was flustered and stuttering, he said something unbelievable.

“Will you go out with me?”

With a smile that seemed somehow sad, but at the same time full of joy, he confessed to me.

The only thought that went through my head was.

This must be a scam. Either his friends are hiding somewhere, or he’s a mischievous YouTuber, or he’s been dispatched from Shincheonji [a controversial religious movement in South Korea] to find believers.

So I had to refuse. And I had to get out of here quickly.

But.

The man in front of me took one step closer.

“Will you… go out with me?”

The moment he confessed to me again.

“…Yes.”

I accepted without realizing it.

It was a beauty that I couldn’t refuse.

—

And a month later.

“I really thought it was a scam back then…”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“Ah, nothing. This is delicious. Hee-yoon, I’ll pay for this.”

“What are you talking about? I said I’d buy it.”

“I’m paying! Put your wallet away right now!”

After that confession, which I had no choice but to accept even though it was a scam with a 99% or higher probability.

Through many conversations, I learned that it was not a lie or a joke. In fact, I was still suspicious for about two or three weeks after we started dating, but seeing the way my boyfriend, Lee Hee-yoon, was so devoted to me, I felt too sorry not to believe him.

No, even now that I believe him, I always feel sorry.

Why?

Because he’s too good to me!

Lee Hee-yoon was a perfect boyfriend. Even if you leave out the fact that he’s tall and handsome, he’s good at studying, he’s so kind, he plans out all the schedules before I even say anything when we go on dates, and even pays!

Of course, I insisted on splitting the bill as much as possible, but even so, Hee-yoon does so much for me usually.

Oh my god, seriously. This guy is my boyfriend!! I wanted to brag about it everywhere. Of course, I didn’t. I’m already getting cursed at by my friends for dating a handsome boyfriend, so telling them all these things one by one is too much of a brag.

They’re pretty crazy bitches, but they’re still my close friends, so there’s no need to scratch them any further.

“Yeon-ah, wait a minute.”

“Huh?”

Just as we were finishing our meal and about to get up from our seats. Hee-yoon stopped my movement.

And leaning his upper body over the table, he grabbed my cheek.

-Lick

“…….!!”

He put his mouth on my cheek, not my lips, but closer to my cheek, as if he was kissing me. At the same time, the rough and wet feeling I felt on my cheek was definitely him licking that area─!

-Thump!

“…! H-Hey! Wh-What are you doing!”

I jumped up from my seat as if I was repelled by the sudden skinship. It was even more embarrassing because we hadn’t even progressed to kissing yet.

But this boyfriend of mine smiled nonchalantly, even though he had done something so outrageous, and opened his mouth.

“There was something on it. Did you not like it?”

“…I-I didn’t d-dislike it… But still, if you do that suddenly…”

“I’m sorry. Should I tell you next time?”

“……”

I started to have doubts again about this innocent smile and skillful words.

This guy, isn’t it all a lie that I’m his first girlfriend?

The way he smiled with his eyes and spoke slyly was definitely not something he had done for a day or two. I even wondered if I was just his second or third.

Of course, he wasn’t cheating on me, as he was my boyfriend who came to see me every day as soon as school was over. There was no way he was having an affair. But hadn’t he had a girlfriend before that?

“Huh? Yeon-ah.”

“D-Do whatever you want!”

Anyway, I, for one, could only blush and be played with by this guy who was playing with me.

Honestly, I didn’t hate it that much. He was a little mischievous at times, but I felt like I was being loved by my boyfriend.

—

Days of smoothly dating.

Hee-yoon started teaching me how to study. Of course, I welcomed it. Anyway, I could be with him while studying, and that was no different from a date for me.

Some days at a cafe, or at a study room. Of course, the number of dates didn’t decrease even while learning how to study. One day, I was even invited to Hee-yoon’s house.

And from a few days before the day I decided to visit his house, I started to worry about what to wear.

Dressing up as pretty as possible? Of course. But the scope was the problem. In case, in case, should I pay attention to my underwear?

When I consulted my friends.

“First of all, you know you can’t wear mismatched ones, right?”

“Do you think I’m stupid?!”

“I thought so~ And condoms?”

“Wh-Why would I… Why would I prepare that…!”

“What are you talking about, you bitch. You’re holding on to us like this because you’re afraid of doing it.”

“I know, right? More than that, if you really do it, you know the review, right? I’ll just be looking at my phone that day?”

“Me too, me too!”

“Thank you so much for the consultation, you crazy bitches.”

I only heard useless stories. No, that’s right, but still.

In the end, I picked the best one I had and visited Hee-yoon’s house. The house of my boyfriend, where none of his family members were there.

Honestly, isn’t it natural for me to have all sorts of fantasies?

But on the day I visited, nothing like that happened at all. My boyfriend was very gentle, thank you very much.

“How about this? I made a frame with a picture of us.”

“Wow~ This is pretty! You did this too?”

“Of course. It’s all our memories. It’s a shame to just have it in the phone’s photo album.”

He showed me around the photos and small frames of the two of us that were decorated in various places in the room.

“Okay, okay, okay, wait! This pose is a bit…!”

“Why? Are you embarrassed?”

“You’re asking even though you know!”

“Just bear with it a little. You said you wanted to take more two-shots, right?”

“That’s true, but…!”

“Okay, cheese~”

“Ugh!”

Hee-yoon sat me on his lap with a sly look and took a two-shot with his big hands wrapped around my waist.

“You were really… even when you were young…”

“Really?”

“…Handsome.”

“Not as cute as you, though.”

“……”

“Yeon-ah is cute?”

“Be quiet.”

I leisurely admired my boyfriend’s childhood album.

And finally.

“……”

“……”

─Dding-ring [Sound of a doorbell]

“…! Ah!”

“Ha… Why now of all times.”

While watching a movie together in the living room, at the golden kissing timing that came.

I was even able to see Hee-yoon’s parents, who came home earlier than I thought.

“Hehe~ You said you were Yeon-ah, right? Please continue to get along well with our Hee-yoon~”

“Yes, yes!”

“Aren’t you hungry? Honey, Hee-yoon brought his girlfriend, so shall we eat out?”

“It’s okay! Th-That would be too much of a burden…”

“It’s not a burden.”

It was a pity that I missed the perfect opportunity to have my first kiss, but I was glad that I was able to greet Hee-yoon’s parents, who treated me kindly because they liked me.

“Hoo…”

Hee-yoon had a sulky face because he missed the opportunity. My boyfriend, who always treated me with a gentle smile, was showing such a childish side because he couldn’t kiss me.
