Ep. 51
Day by day, I grew closer to Yeon-hu.
I cherished the moments when I kissed Yeon-hu.
I loved stroking his soft hair.
I loved touching his body, which was a bit firmer than mine.
I loved leaving marks on his face and neck, as if claiming him as mine.
I found it endearing how he pretended to be nonchalant while secretly anticipating my affection.
Yeon-hu, too, followed my lead and gradually initiated more diverse forms of contact, but he faithfully maintained our agreed-upon boundaries.
I was a little disappointed, but it was also fun to navigate our unique push and pull, so different from the norm.
If I couldn’t resist and pounced on him, he would be flustered but would ultimately accept it.
But I wanted him to make the first move.
Even if it meant going back on my word, I wanted him to reach out first.
Of course, I would respect him even if he held back.
—
I heard that Yeon-hu’s father and Yeon-hu’s brother’s girlfriend wanted to meet me, so I immediately scheduled a meeting.
Since summer vacation was ending, it wouldn’t be easy to find a date later. Plus, my brother seemed worried about something and tagged along, using Yeon-hu as an excuse.
I was concerned that encountering Yeon-hu might expose him to strange influences, but I also wanted them to get along, so I couldn’t refuse.
At Yeon-hu’s house, I met Yeon-hu’s father for the first time, and he was a very kind man.
His two older brothers exuded noticeable bluntness and cheerfulness, respectively.
And Yoon-jeong unnie [older sister/female friend], who was the reason for this meeting, was truly like an eager puppy and an adorable person, just as Yeon-hu had described.
“Hi~! You must be Hee-na, right? I’ve been wanting to meet you so much! That sly Yeon-hu kept you hidden away~”
“Hello, Unnie. I’ve heard a lot about you from Yeon-hu.”
“…Oh, what should I do? I seriously want to take you home… You’re so pretty…. Will you be my little sister?”
I used to enjoy observing people, so I could tell from her demeanor and tone that she genuinely liked me.
In the past, I felt a bit hesitant to meet people other than Yeon-hu’s parents, so I hadn’t met her, but I had heard that she was getting married soon. I hoped that I would become close to Jeong-hu oppa [older brother/male friend] this time, too.
Because we will truly become one family.
His mother still treated me comfortably, and his father also told me to relax and feel at home.
“Yes, Father.”
He seemed to like the title “Father” very much, and I noticed him blushing slightly and clearing his throat.
I was grateful that I could be liked by both of them in this life as well.
I was glad that my brother was also enjoying talking with Yeon-hu’s brothers. Later, I resolved to create an opportunity for our parents to meet each other as well.
Thinking that, I chatted with his mother and Yoon-jeong unnie.
Mostly about Yeon-hu.
In particular, Yoon-jeong unnie’s stories were very helpful to me, so they were very informative.
She knew a lot about Yeon-hu’s various tastes and tendencies, which even his mother didn’t know in detail.
I heard that she thought Yeon-hu was so cute from the first time she saw him. She said that when you see his smiling face and kind demeanor, you can’t help but feel that way.
So, she would occasionally invite him out for meals and play games with him when she went on dates, and she naturally learned small details about him.
I felt a little envious when I heard that she had spent time with Yeon-hu when he was in middle school.
It would have been even better if I could have met him back then.
After sharing some trivial stories, I was able to glean some really important information.
“I want Yeon-hu to be more proactive… Do you think he likes sexy things since he’s a guy?”
“Sexy? Hmm… I don’t think Yeon-hu would be particularly drawn to that. Rather than that, he’s really weak for cute things.”
I had sensed that he liked cute things enough when we went to the zoo, but.
His mother added to the story.
“When Yeon-hu was young, he would ask for a little sister all day long. He would make a fuss, saying that the little kids passing by were cute.”
“Right? Ah, Hee-na! I have an animal pajama that I was going to wear, but would you like to borrow it? I guarantee Yeon-hu will fall for it.”
“Would it be okay for me to borrow it?”
“Yeah! Let’s stop by my house when you leave later!”
I had acted cute once in a while, but I had never intentionally aimed to be cute from the start like this. However, I would do anything to be loved by Yeon-hu.
“And try setting a concept when you go on a date. He likes little sisters so much… Like a younger girlfriend?”
“Like… calling him ‘Oppa’ [older brother/male friend]? Would that be okay?”
“Of course! This is just role-playing! You have to do this once in a while to prevent things from getting stale~”
Saying that, Yoon-jeong unnie helped me again.
“And try to seduce him well here tomorrow. I’ll take those guys out. His mother and father won’t be here tomorrow either.”
“Unnie, please take care of me in the future.”
“Yeah, yeah! Tell me everything if anything happens! I’ll help you!”
Unnie, who patted her chest and said that, was more cute than dignified, but I swallowed that impression and expressed my gratitude.
I really felt like we could become very close.
After talking a little more, I asked Yeon-hu for his understanding and decided to head back early with Unnie.
I was sad to part ways like this today, but I wanted to seize an opportunity on the last date of summer vacation.
—
I had one more day left, but it was the end of summer vacation for Yeon-hu.
I felt more excited than ever as I headed to our meeting place, even though we had been on countless dates.
The concept that I had agonized over with Unnie yesterday to show him a different side of me.
I started right away as soon as I approached Yeon-hu, who was waiting.
“Yeon-hu Oppa.”
My voice tone was also a bit higher. As if Yeon-hu was really my older boyfriend.
Yeon-hu seemed very embarrassed by my title, but.
“What’s with the change? But I like it! This is okay once in a while!”
His joy was blatantly revealed in his words and expression.
I laughed at his face, which was twitching at the corners of his mouth, but at the same time, I felt a twinge of jealousy.
Isn’t he liking it a little *too* much, no matter what?
I thought it was a good thing to try this now, just like Unnie said.
Someday, a really cute girl might cling to Yeon-hu, so it’s good to build immunity.
And.
I also thought that I should never let those kids near Yeon-hu if possible.
Of course, that’s just one of the reasons, but.
“Oppa, won’t you kiss me..?”
“Hoo, Lee Hee-na, just you wait.”
Seeing him rush at me as if he couldn’t stand the cuteness I was acting, my heart was filled with satisfaction.
It was a little embarrassing, though.
—
I came into the movie theater with him and worried about what to watch.
It didn’t matter what I watched because there was another purpose to being here. But it was a waste of money to just pick anything, so I thought about it and.
I chose a romantic comedy movie that was a little cheerful to match today’s feeling. The atmosphere seemed to match what I was about to do, and it didn’t seem like a movie that Yeon-hu would be bored with.
Of course, Yeon-hu would have enjoyed whatever I chose.
‘Movie? Anything is fine.’
‘Don’t complain later. I’ll pick it as I please?’
‘Yeah, I can really enjoy anything.’
He really enjoyed watching any movie during the movie theater dates he had relatively often when he was in college.
‘It’s important who you go to see a movie with.’
‘Ho~ Everything is fun because you’re with me?’
‘Of course.’
Certainly.
The current Yeon-hu would enjoy any movie.
I can’t ask him now whether the movie was really fun, or whether he liked the moments when we sat side by side in the movie theater and whispered to each other.
I buried that lingering feeling in a corner of my heart, finished the reservation, and took a piece of popcorn from the popcorn box he bought and bit into it.
“Ah-”
-Tap tap
Then, I held it out to him and tapped around his mouth with my finger, and he understood what I meant and leaned in.
But he didn’t take it right away, and when he turned his face slightly and teased me, I felt his lips brush the corner of my mouth.
At that moment, I impulsively wanted to swallow the popcorn and kiss him right away, but I barely held back.
“Ehehe-”
Then, after giggling, I wrapped my arms around his neck and passed the popcorn from my mouth to his.
I felt happy to see him eating it so well like a baby bird.
“Oppa, do you hate it when I joke around?”
“I like it..”
I felt complicated about Yeon-hu, who liked the current cute concept so much.
However, when I saw Yeon-hu showing such a lovely reaction while looking at me, I thought, what the heck.
I fed him popcorn with my mouth every time we walked, and then after entering the theater.
“Oppa.”
“Will you stroke my hair?”
Usually, when we’re alone, I want to touch him more often and in more places, and I hope that my touch will make him feel playful.
I often subtly touch his body, but today I decided to push forward with cuteness, not that.
Because he likes it so much.
Because he’s stroking my hair so affectionately.
—
At his house as soon as the movie ended.
I wanted to see him play games.
He likes it so much that he sometimes replies to my messages late because of it.
That game.
Of course, I not only watched it, but I also sat with him on the chair he always uses.
I sat with my butt between his legs, and I couldn’t be happier when he wrapped his arms around my stomach.
It felt like my whole body was being embraced by him.
“I like sitting like this..”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I really like the feeling of being close together.”
My unadulterated sincerity.
How nice would it be if I could be like this forever.
Still, I was sad that I couldn’t look at his face, so I turned my body slightly and kissed him.
Then, when I turned my body back.
“Am I making you uncomfortable? Let’s get up for a second. I want to do more.”
I was very happy that I had made him impatient. I stopped him from trying to lift me up, unable to bear his impatience, and I held on to my seat with all my might, hoping that he would hug me tightly and kiss me a little later, and that he would want me so badly that he couldn’t stand it.
After wrestling with each other for a short time, Yeon-hu gave up and started focusing on the game. Thanks to that, I enjoyed happiness in his arms again.
I was also embarrassingly jealous of him for only using cute characters along the way.
Really, his taste for cute things was clearly revealed in every single one of these things.
I was jealous of his taste for those types, rather than being jealous of the characters.
“Am I cute, or are they cute?”
“Kiss me.”
“As much as you love me.”
So, using that as an excuse, I ended up grabbing him and kissing him. I wanted to do a deep kiss that I hadn’t been able to do all day, so I was frustrated.
However, I was sad to break the concept that I had been keeping so far, so I was satisfied with just his lips.
Then, while I was talking to him for a while, I remembered the clothes I had borrowed from Unnie.
It was clear that Yeon-hu would like it, judging from his reactions today.
“Wait here for a second? I have something I brought.”
I took my bag and went out to the living room, and then I put on a thin cat pajama over the clothes I was wearing.
Pajamas that are very cute even to me, with a hood and a tail.
My face was already turning red from the thought of showing him what I was wearing and pretending to be a cat from now on, but.
I went back into the room, thinking that Yeon-hu would definitely like it and be happy.
Looking at Yeon-hu’s face, which was frozen in surprise at my appearance.
“Meow-”
After making a cat sound once, I quickly sat back between Yeon-hu’s legs.
I couldn’t bear to look him in the face. Because I was embarrassed.
“You’re so cute, I’m going crazy.”
Still, I wore it to hear Yeon-hu’s words.
If it’s this much, can’t I change Yeon-hu’s mind about wanting to raise a cat someday?
When I asked Yeon-hu that, he answered playfully.
“But I don’t think there’s a cat here? Because you speak human language so well.”
I know he’s trying to tease me, but I had no choice.
I wanted him to say that I was cuter than a cat.
“Ugh.. Me, Meow..”
When I made a cat sound again, braving my embarrassment, he smiled and tickled my chin.
Just like he’s treating a cat.
With his soft touch, I even thought that it wouldn’t be bad to live as a cat if it was like this.
“Cute, cute~”
I like it so much.
—
After being loved for a while, I came to my senses after drinking a glass of water that he brought me.
All the actions I had taken so far suddenly became a huge embarrassment and washed over me.
When Yeon-hu saw me unable to speak and blushing, he started talking as if to end the role-play.
I gratefully accepted his consideration and decided to end today’s younger girlfriend act.
And then.
“I know that too. But it was good, right?”
“Well, as I said before, it’s because you did it.”
We sat side by side on the bed and shared our impressions of today’s date. While we were talking, Yeon-hu suddenly put his arm around my arm.
He often held my hand first, but it was rare for him to put his arm around me. Usually, I initiate it.
Anyway, I was happy that Yeon-hu had initiated skinship, so I clung to him even more.
“Hee-na noona [older sister/female friend].”
He said something that made me doubt my ears.
Even before returning to high school, and even after dating after becoming a high school student.
I always thought that I was the one giving him the feeling of being older than him.
“Noona, why are you so cute?”
I had never even imagined hearing such a title and honorifics from him.
To me, who didn’t know how to express this indescribable feeling.
“If you’re this cute, what should I do? I’m afraid someone will take you away.”
Yeon-hu kept saying that without stopping.
As if my reaction right now was so much fun.
He didn’t stop there and eventually.
“Noona, please kiss me.”
Looking up at me gently with his waist bent, Yeon-hu’s appearance made me.
I felt my reason snap.
How long have I been holding back?
How many times a day have I wanted to push him over and kiss him?
He seems to not know at all and is playing such a dangerous game.
“You really don’t know how much I’m holding back usually?”
“I’ll do everything for you from now on, so stay still. Got it?”
I couldn’t stand my desire any longer.
Of course, I’m going to respect the boundaries that he wants.
“You have to listen to Noona? Mouth.”
Other than that, you know you brought this on yourself, right? Yeon-hu?
“Eup─”
I sat on top of him and forced him to open his mouth, and then I pushed my tongue in.
His lips.
His teeth.
His tongue.
His saliva.
I explored all of that as I wanted, as much as I wanted.
Sucking on that teasing tongue.
Leaving my teeth marks on those cute lips.
Engraving my kisses on his mouth and white neck.
Like that. As if to devour him.
I explored him to my heart’s content.
For a much longer time than I thought.
Honestly, I wanted to continue for longer, but I stopped there and let him go because Yeon-hu was struggling.
I felt a little sad when I saw him go to the bathroom for a while to erase my traces.
In the end, the last date of summer vacation ended without keeping the cuteness going until the end.
But I liked it.
Still, there will be another chance next time.
From now on, the days I spend with him will continue forever.
