My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 36

Ep. 35

Thursday morning.

I woke up early, feeling fluttery like I did before our first date.

Yesterday, Heena used a wish ticket to create today’s date rule when we decided to go to the zoo. Thinking about it, I quickly finished getting ready.

‘Okay, it’s simple. When I put my index and middle fingers together and bring them to my face.’

‘Kiss me there. Anytime, anywhere. No matter who’s around, unconditionally.’

Isn’t my girlfriend too cute to use a wish ticket for a rule like this?

For me, it was practically a reward.

Of course, kissing openly in crowded places might be a little embarrassing, but it’s something I’m shy about, not something I don’t want to do.

Basically, Heena enjoys skinship regardless of the mood. But I, unlike Heena, need to be in the right mood for skinship beyond a certain level, like kissing. So, usually, I haven’t been initiating those things as often as I could.

If there’s an excuse like this rule, I can put aside my strange sensibilities.

Thanks to that, I couldn’t contain my excitement and was about to leave the house with springy steps when…

“Take me with you!!”

Yoonjung noona [older sister/female friend], who had been practically living at our house since weekday mornings, suddenly knelt down in front of me, begging.

“Noona, you’re practically living in our house these days. And what do you mean, take you with me?”

“I want to see cute animals too! I want to see Heena too!! Me!! I want to see Yeonhoo’s girlfriend!!”

“What are you saying!! Ah, hyung [older brother]!! Tell noona to stop it!”

I looked for my brother, who was scratching his stomach and watching this embarrassing spectacle, but…

“What can I do?”

“She’s your girlfriend!”

“Not anymore.”

“Ugh, seriously.”

I had no choice but to give up at his cold dismissal. Regardless of what my brother did, Yoonjung noona’s antics knew no bounds.

“I want to seeee!!! Deer! Elk!”

“…Aren’t those the same thing?”

“They’re different! And show me Heena! You said you’d let me meet her!”

“When did I say that?”

“I don’t care!! I’m going to meet her!!”

“Wow…”

Sometimes she showed an immature side, but she had always been kind and good to me in so many ways. So, I thought her acting childish was just pure, but I was wrong.

Like Danbi from A*a-tta, rolling around on the floor and throwing a tantrum, she was more pathetic than I could have imagined. What made her like this?

“You met her mother, right!! Me too!! I want to meet her too!!”

“No, what does Mom meeting Heena have to do with you? Even my brother hasn’t seen her?”

“You’re so mean!!!”

“Sigh…”

“Waaah… Show me… Elk… Heena…”

She screamed, and now she’s even lying down and sobbing. It’s probably fake crying though.

I couldn’t bring myself to leave, wondering what to do, when my brother, who had approached unnoticed, solved the problem simply.

-Stomp

My brother, standing right next to noona, yawned widely while still scratching his stomach with one hand, and stepped on noona’s back with one foot.

“Go. I’ll hold her back.”

“Thank… overwhelming thanks…”

“Good work.”

“No!! Hey!! Get your foot off!!!”

I quickly left the house, leaving noona shouting without giving up.

As I hurried away, I absurdly felt my love for Heena growing at this moment.

Heena, my girlfriend, is a pure girl a billion light-years away from that kind of thing, so I’m really, really glad.

—

I cleared the incident at home from my mind, and as I rode the now-familiar village bus, Heena was waiting for me at the bus stop as usual.

Even though we’re meeting here, we’ll end up taking the subway anyway.

Heena is okay with taking the bus or taxi for short distances like this, but she tends to avoid these kinds of vehicles if the ride is going to be long. Like when we went on a trip to the sea.

I prefer subways and trains because of motion sickness, so I actually like this.

Anyway, Heena came straight to me and started poking her cheek without saying anything.

With two fingers together.

I was momentarily flustered by the different pattern than usual, where she would hug me right away. I quickly realized what it meant and put my lips on Heena’s cheek.

-Chu

Heena’s soft cheek. I resisted the urge to bite it lightly and took my face away.

I was grinning, thinking that today would be a happy date with the reward given as soon as we met, but Heena poked her cheek again with her finger.

“Huh?”

I wondered if she wanted me to do it again, but she held up three fingers.

I don’t think she wants me to do it three times… then 3 seconds?

I didn’t mind kissing lightly, but I hesitated a little because I had to do it for 3 seconds on a street with a lot of people passing by.

But Heena just waited for me, sticking out her cheek without any intention of moving.

I had no choice but to put my lips on Heena’s cheek again.

Enjoying the softness once more, I continued the cheek kiss for about 3 or 4 seconds, feeling more embarrassed than I thought.

When I finished, feeling my face burning up unlike before, Heena finally gave an ok sign.

“This is the basic. Got it?”

“…Yeah…”

“Hehe, you did so well~”

She even stood on tiptoe and stroked my hair as if praising a child.

I had a feeling that this rule, which I thought would be all good, would be more difficult than I thought.

And, as expected, should I say.

Heena’s fingers moved non-stop.

Even inside the subway, which wasn’t crowded because it was early, just before noon.

-Tap tap

“……”

She taps my forehead and waits for me with wide eyes. I glanced around to see if anyone was watching, then gently swept back Heena’s soft bangs and kissed her forehead.

One, two, three.

After counting in my head and taking my lips off, Heena crosses her arms with the happiest face in the world.

But this wasn’t a one-time thing on the subway! Since the zoo wasn’t exactly close, the subway ride was quite long.

About 5 minutes after kissing her forehead.

“What do you want to see the most?”

“Definitely the red panda. I even collected pictures of them…”

“Really? Then we have to go see the red panda. And… um, Yeonhoo-ya?”

“Yeah?”

She stopped talking and this time put her finger on her eye. Whether she meant for me to do it on her eyelid, she closed her eyes and waited before I could even move.

I put my lips on her, feeling my heart pounding at the kiss location that I would only see in dramas.

Heena’s long eyelashes tickled the bottom of my lips.

Again, after counting and taking my lips off, Heena smiled brightly and continued the conversation as if nothing had happened.

“I want to see the alpaca~”

I decided while chiming in with her as she started chattering.

I have to buy lip balm as soon as we get off.

—

After changing trains several times, we were able to reach our destination. The zoo was about a 10-minute walk from here.

I kept licking my dry lips with my tongue as I got off the subway.

I don’t know how many times I kissed her on the way here. I think I did it on every part of her face except her lips.

Cheeks, forehead, eyes, nose, etc.

Now, as soon as Heena’s hand moves, my eyes and face reflexively turn towards it.

While walking, I looked around and led her to the convenience store in the station near the exit.

“Heena, let’s stop by the convenience store for a second.”

“Do you need to buy something?”

“I’m going to buy some lip balm…”

“Lip balm? I have some~”

“Then lend it to me.”

“Okay. I’ll get it out, just a moment~”

Come to think of it, there’s no way Heena wouldn’t have lip balm. I should have asked sooner.

She immediately rummaged through her eco bag and took out the lip balm. But instead of giving it to me, she grabbed my hand and walked ahead.

“Where are you going?”

“Let’s go outside first!”

I was puzzled, but I followed her out of the subway station.

As soon as we came outside, there were quite a few people who came to the zoo like us under the warm sunlight.

Even though it was the vacation season, there weren’t as many families as I thought because it was a weekday, and couples were noticeable here and there.

I passed by, looking at people openly showing skinship such as hugging and kissing, feeling like “Oh~.”

Soon, Heena stopped on a side path in the middle of the road to the zoo.

“Can you bend over a little?”

At that, I bent down slightly and came down to the same eye level as Heena.

Then she started applying lip balm to my lips.

But she applies more than I thought. Even I, who don’t use this often, can tell.

I realized it there.

What Heena wants.

As soon as she finished applying the lip balm, her hand naturally went to her lips.

-Tap tap

Like Pavlov’s dog, now my body moves reflexively just by looking at that slightly tapping motion. I’ve become a little immune to the embarrassment because I’ve done it so many times on the subway.

Of course, this time it wasn’t inside the subway where there were few people, but outside where several people were passing by right behind us, but there was nothing different.

Remembering the memories from the sea, I put my hand on Heena’s waist and hugged her slightly.

At the same time, I tilted my head slightly and put my lips on Heena’s lips, who was closing her eyes. Perhaps because I had just applied lip balm, I felt the slipperiness of the lip balm more than the feeling of her lips.

I thought about trying a deep kiss like Heena did back then, rather than just a 3-second peck, but I held back because I thought even Heena would be embarrassed to do that in this place.

I held back thinking that, but Heena didn’t hold back.

-Slurp

As if just touching wasn’t a kiss, Heena pushed harder and sucked on my lips, then naturally put her tongue in.

To be honest, I was embarrassed this time too, but I didn’t blank out like before and awkwardly responded by intertwining my tongue.

I continued the kiss for 30 seconds, not 3 seconds, until I felt out of breath and took a step back.

Heena’s lips, breathing a little faster, were a mess with lip balm and saliva.

I’m probably the same.

I immediately took out a few tissues from my eco bag and handed them to Heena, and I also wiped around my mouth a little.

It’s a pretty expensive portable tissue with good material that I bought for Heena, so it’ll be okay to use on a woman’s skin.

After taking some time to clean up, I threw the used tissues in the trash can next to the nearby bench and then looked at each other again.

Whether she was satisfied with me responding to her French kiss, or with me preparing tissues with consideration.

I couldn’t know exactly which part she was satisfied with, but Heena gave me the brightest smile of the day and sent me loving eyes.

Then she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me briefly once more.

“I love you, Yeonhoo-ya.”

“Yeah, me too. I love you.”

“You’ve been 100 points so far. You’re going to keep the rules well today, right?”

“I’ll try my best…”

I couldn’t confidently answer her, who was asking for it more often than I imagined.
