My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 48

Ep. 47

My girlfriend has been acting strange lately.

Well, ‘strange’ isn’t quite the word. Maybe ‘a little dangerous’ is more accurate?

Of course, Hee-na has been proactive since the day we met, and it’s not like I need to bring it up now, but lately, that proactiveness feels like it’s accelerating.

Casually touching me here and there is already commonplace, and she’s never satisfied with just a quick peck.

Moreover, it’s not just my face anymore; she’s expanded the range to my neck, learning from who knows where.

It seems like she wants to leave her mark all over my body.

Sometimes, I quietly observe her, wondering if she’s trying to seduce me into crossing the line, but she just gives me a mysterious smile and never says a word.

Was her promise to wait until I’m ready just a ploy to tempt me to the point where I can’t resist touching her?

Since she doesn’t reveal her true feelings, I can’t know her real intentions.

As her boyfriend, I’m happy, but thanks to her, my iron will is slowly melting away.

Anyway, during the final days of summer vacation, amidst this push-and-pull (or not-so-push-and-pull).

“Hi~! You must be Hee-na, I missed you so much! Yeon-hoo, that sly fox, kept you all to himself~”

“Hello, Unni [older sister or female friend]. I’ve heard a lot about you from Yeon-hoo.”

“…Oh, what should I do? I seriously want to take you home… you’re so pretty… will you be my little sister?”

The day has come for Yoon-jung Noona [older sister or female friend], who has been incredibly annoying—no, very annoying—to me, and Hee-na to meet.

*Take her where, you crazy Noona.*

However, instead of just our couples meeting up with Hyung’s [older brother or male friend] couple as originally planned…

“Ahem, welcome. Make yourself comfortable.”

“Yes, Father.”

“……..Ahem.”

My dad seems very pleased with being called ‘Father.’ He clears his throat awkwardly and turns his head.

*Come on, you’ve heard a lot about her from Yoon-jung Noona too.*

“Wow, Han Yeon-hoo, you sly dog. How did you manage to snag her?”

“I got snagged.”

“Haha, you rascal. I haven’t seen you in a while, but your lying skills are quite impressive.”

Next to me, a tall, bulky figure is playing a phone game and nudging me with his foot. It’s my second Hyung, who finally got discharged and came home. He says those words without any soul, showing no interest in my girlfriend. Typical of a game-addicted guy who advocates for being single.

“You were stationed there? That was right next to our unit.”

“Oh, really? Hyung, you haven’t been discharged that long ago either. We might have seen each other while passing by?”

And Hee-sung Hyung, who came with Hee-na, is exchanging military stories with my older Hyung.

“Hee-sung Hyung, you said you don’t want to be respected formally.”

“That’s because you don’t need to be formal with me, you idiot. I get uncomfortable if people talk informally to me from the start.”

“…?”

*What the heck… oh, I think I get it.*

Anyway, that’s how Hee-na and Hee-sung Hyung ended up visiting our house. I told Hee-na that Yoon-jung Noona and my dad wanted to meet her, and she immediately set up a date.

I was planning to see Noona and Hyung around this time anyway since they had free schedules.

Hee-sung Hyung seems like he came along to beat me up and just tagged along.

When we met earlier, he glared at me like he was going to kill me for framing him last time. But now, he naturally came into our house and is chatting away with my older Hyung, and my younger Hyung has joined them too. Mostly about military stories.

Seriously, when discharged guys get together, that’s all they talk about. I’m so jealous. I’m the only one who didn’t go.

I turned my gaze away from the three of them, who were having a conversation I couldn’t join, and looked at Hee-na, who was sitting demurely in front of my mom and Yoon-jung Noona, having a calm conversation.

Seeing my girlfriend, who was telling me last night during our date that she wouldn’t let me go home unless I fulfilled my 30-minute kissing quota, acting like that, I feel… scared.

Yesterday, I thought my lips were going to melt. Hee-na wouldn’t let go.

As I recalled that memory, I unconsciously touched my lips, and the sound of their conversation reached my ears.

“Yeon-hoo needs to be careful too. You have no idea how much I suffered because of Jung-hoo…”

“What happened?”

“Jung-hoo, he just seems really indifferent on the outside, right? Like he doesn’t care what anyone around him is doing.”

My older Hyung is kind of like that. He seems indifferent but takes care of things. My younger Hyung seems interested on the outside but doesn’t care at all on the inside, the complete opposite.

“But when you actually watch him, he’s subtly attentive and takes good care of things.”

“Aju-beo… I mean, Oppa [term used by females to address older males], that’s so cool.”

“It would be fine if he only looked cool to me, but there are some girls who get hooked because of that… you know what I mean?”

Hee-na enthusiastically agrees with that statement. I have no idea what part of that she understands.

“At least he looks like a stoic guy at first glance, but Yeon-hoo is basically friendly, right? It’ll be worse than Jung-hoo when he goes to college, right?”

“……”

“Yeon-hoo is the kind of sweet guy who takes good care of others, so you especially need to watch out for the younger girls…”

“………Heu-eung.”

Wait, weren’t you praising Hyung? Why does it feel like the fire is suddenly spreading to me?

Hee-na’s eyes narrow at the absurd slander of a future that hasn’t even happened yet.

The way she’s looking at me makes me feel a bit eerie.

It’s awkward to make excuses because it’s just Noona’s brain-fart future prediction, and I don’t know what to say here.

So, I avoided her gaze and quietly moved to my dad’s side. Dad was looking at Hee-na and Yoon-jung Noona with affectionate eyes the whole time.

Without taking his eyes off them, he suddenly put his hand in his back pocket and took out some bills, handing them to me.

Two 50,000 won [Korean currency] bills, no less.

“Huh? What’s this?”

“Use this to buy Hee-na something delicious.”

“Oh, thanks, Dad!”

“She’s a really nice girl. Treat her well in the future.”

As I was gleefully enjoying the unexpected income, the ominous sound of their conversation tickled my ears.

“Sexy? Um… Yeon-hoo… not really… he’s cute… really…”

They suddenly lowered their voices, so I couldn’t hear them properly.

But I couldn’t exactly go closer and eavesdrop, so I tried to concentrate as much as possible next to Dad, who was looking at Hee-na with a pleased expression.

“Yeon-hoo – when he was young… wanted a younger sister…”

“…….clothes… lend… later”

“Is it okay…?”

“Then… this… play…”

It was ominous to me, but it must have been a very informative conversation for Hee-na, as her eyes were shining while listening intently to Yoon-jung Noona and Mom’s words.

It’s definitely a good thing that they’re getting along, but why do I feel so uneasy when the targets are those two?

As I was fidgeting and glancing over while only listening, Hee-sung Hyung’s voice pierced through.

“Han Yeon-hoo! We’re going to a PC cafe, want to come with us!”

I was truly impressed by his my-way attitude, sitting so comfortably in someone else’s living room and shouting at me. He’s a polite yet strange person.

Anyway, it seems like he’s already talked to my Hyungs, as they both get up and prepare to leave.

The four of us gathering at a PC cafe, gorging on Jjapagetti [instant noodle dish] while playing AOS [Arena of Strategy] or shooting games? I can’t resist that.

I was very tempted by Hee-sung Hyung’s suggestion and unconsciously tried to get up.

“……”

I felt a strange pressure from behind, so I sat back down.

And I opened my mouth as if nothing happened.

“Why would I go to a PC cafe when I have Hee-na? You guys go ahead.”

“What’s wrong with him, is that really Han Yeon-hoo?”

“Doesn’t seem like it.”

“Don’t you know? Looking at him, he’s completely controlled by my younger sister… Ah, I get it! Look at that glare… Uncle, Aunt. I’ll be going now.”

After talking nonsense, he must have received a glare from Hee-na, as he immediately turned his head and greeted our parents.

After that, I could only watch as he headed out with my Hyungs, leaving me behind.

Honestly, it doesn’t make sense to abandon your girlfriend at home and go out to play. It’s understandable for Yoon-jung Noona since they’ve been dating for so long and she’s become close to us.

“Yeon-hoo, did you want to go?”

“No? Being with you is better than playing games with those guys… Ah, crap.”

I was about to answer Hee-na’s question as usual, but I quickly shut my mouth when I realized that it wasn’t just the two of us here.

But the part that had already come out was enough to tease me, as Yoon-jung Noona was giving me a sly smile.

“Ooh~ Our Yeon-hoo is so sweet, isn’t he?”

“Ah, please stop…”

“But Hee-na, you need to keep a close eye on him so he doesn’t do that to other girls later, okay? He says things without thinking, but some girls take it the wrong way~”

“……Yeon-hoo-ya?”

“Can’t you just ignore that Noona’s nonsense? No, we already greeted them, let’s just go. Let’s go on a date.”

I couldn’t listen to this absurd brain-fart slander any longer. So, I got up as if I was going to leave right away, and Noona immediately grabbed Hee-na and shouted desperately.

“Go where! I’m going to talk to Hee-na more!! You can’t go!! No one can go!! She’s my younger sister now!”

“Ha…”

How can she do that when it’s not just me and Hyung, but our parents and Hee-na are all watching?

Even Mom and Dad are letting it go, saying she’s just being cute, so that ugly sight doesn’t stop. Since they only have sons, they must see even that kind of behavior as adorable.

Besides, Hee-na doesn’t seem to care much.

Hee-na’s eyes were only directed at me.

“I trust Yeon-hoo, so I’m not worried. And I want to get closer to Unni too…”

With her gaze fixed on me, she was petting Noona as if she was soothing a puppy.

I sighed heavily and gave up on escaping, taking out my smartphone. It didn’t seem like the conversation would end soon anyway, and I felt like I would only get more upset if I kept listening.

I sent a message to my Hyungs, who had already left, asking if it was fun to leave me behind, and then chatted with my Hyungs and friends for about an hour.

Suddenly, Yoon-jung Noona and Hee-na stood up.

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“To our house with Hee-na~”

“What?”

I looked at Hee-na with surprised eyes at those unexpected words, and she smiled and nodded in agreement.

“Father, Mother. I’ll be leaving first today too. I’ll visit you again next time.”

“Have you eaten? Make sure you get what you need from Yoon-jung.”

“Um, feel free to drop by anytime.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I feel a strange sense of unease at the sight of her ending our date and willingly trying to leave with Noona, even though they’ve only met for a few hours.

I followed them to see them off. As soon as we went outside the front door, Hee-na approached me.

“I’m sorry for going back early today. There’s something I want to get from Unni and something I want to discuss a little more.”

“No, it’s a relief that you’re getting along with Noona.”

I meant that sincerely. That Noona was practically family to us.

Hee-na smiled slightly at my words, glanced at Noona, who was already out on the street, and then continued.

“Yeon-hoo-ya, we’re going on a date tomorrow too, right?”

“Yeah, we are. It’s the last day of vacation tomorrow too.”

“Then, how about we go see a movie tomorrow?”

“A movie? Come to think of it, we’ve never seen a movie together.”

It’s the epitome of a date course, but we’ve never actually seen a movie, even though we’ve hung out near the movie theater.

“Yeah, and then a home date.”

“I’m fine with that. Should we go to your house again?”

“No. Here.”

“….Huh? Our house?”

Our house is crowded, so the atmosphere might not be right.

I was pondering that for a moment when Hee-na’s eyes were already forming a crescent shape.

“Tomorrow, everyone is planning to be out of the house.”
