My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 70

Ep. 69

Christmas trees and Santa decorations were scattered around, creating a festive atmosphere. It was already my second Christmas with Heena. This year, instead of spending Christmas with our families, we decided to spend it together.

Shortly after lunchtime, as soon as we met at our agreed spot, Heena reached into her bag and pulled something out.

“I made this new one. Merry Christmas!”

She handed me a charcoal-colored scarf. As I accepted it, I couldn’t help but admire the noticeably improved quality compared to last year’s.

“Oh, you made it well? It’s pretty.”

“Right? Then let’s throw away the one I gave you last year.”

“What are you talking about? Why would I throw it away? I’m going to keep it as a family heirloom for life.”

“That’s weird! Why are you wearing it today, of all days!”

“Of course, I have to wear it when I’m on a date with you in winter.”

Heena tugged at the scarf—that twisted monstrosity—that I was wearing around my neck. Of course, I had no intention of ever throwing away this scarf that she had knitted stitch by stitch. I was planning to keep it until I died, no joke.

But Heena seemed to regard it as just one of her dark pasts. I grabbed Heena’s hand, which was holding the scarf as if she was about to tear it apart, and pulled it down.

“Thank you. And don’t make that face, okay?”

I soothed her by kissing her slightly protruding lips, as if she didn’t like it. She was making that face because she saw me putting the scarf I was wearing into my bag without throwing it away.

No matter what, I can’t throw away something my girlfriend worked so hard to make.

“Here, this is my gift.”

I took out a pair of knitted mittens from my bag and gave them to Heena, who was still staring at my bag with a sulky expression. Beige, with no special pattern, so they were a bit plain. Scarf in, gloves out, magic!

Heena’s eyes widened when she saw them.

“Did you knit them yourself?”

“Yeah. It was easier than I thought.”

Actually, I heard from Heesung [older male friend/brother] at the beginning of December that Heena was knitting a new scarf as revenge for last year. As soon as I heard that, I thought, this is it! I immediately bought a set of knitted wool gloves.

Heena had banned me from spending a lot of money on gifts after the couple rings, so I was worried about what to give her for Christmas, but it worked out well.

Besides, knitting is just moving your wrists, so I didn’t think it would put too much strain on my elbow. I figured I could get help from my mom if I didn’t have enough time.

But I was more talented at knitting than I thought. I completed them smoothly without much hesitation just by looking at the attached instructions. It was quite fun to move my hands without thinking, so it didn’t take that long to complete.

I wish I had tried knitting a scarf too, but I was a little disappointed.

Heena couldn’t close her slightly open mouth, as if she had never imagined that I would give her a handmade gift.

“The shape is a bit plain, but how is it?”

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

She belatedly rejoiced at my question and hugged my neck, expressing that joy with a kiss.

-Chu, chu

She constantly kissed near my lips with those marshmallow-like, soft and moist lips. I put my arms around her waist and kissed her while looking into her eyes.

Before I started dating Heena, I hated couples who kissed openly on the street, but now I can understand how they feel.

Who cares what other people think? We’re so happy!

“Heung~ Should we just go home? I want to keep doing this.”

“It’s a bit much to do that as soon as we come out… But it’s Christmas, so let’s take a walk.”

“Shall we?”

She must not have been satisfied even after kissing that much. She brings up the idea of going home just five minutes after meeting. Of course, it’s not bad to enjoy today in that way. Since I spent Christmas with my family last year, I wanted to walk around outside with her this year.

Heena must have just been teasing, so she quietly released her arms around my neck, and we walked down the street with carols ringing, holding hands.

It was already the last winter of my high school days. Since I started dating Heena, every day has been happy and, in some ways, spectacular, so I really didn’t know how time was passing.

I also studied really hard, unlike myself, although I didn’t do well on the college entrance exam. It hurts my heart every time I think about it.

“Now that I think about it, we’re spending this New Year together. Did you hear about it from your father?”

“It’s so strange to hear that news from my dad…”

We decided to spend the time from December 31st to January 1st with Heena’s family. Moreover, this time, it wasn’t Heena and I who led the way, but my dad and her uncle who talked separately and made the schedule, just like when we went on a sea trip this summer.

However, I knew why they were trying to create such a setting.

“Maybe my dad is trying to have a drink with me.”

“Your father?”

“Yeah. My brothers also drank with my dad on the first day of the year they turned twenty.”

You can legally drink from January 1st of the year you turn 19 [Korean age], so he has to have the first drink with them no matter what.

But actually, the three of us had already tried it before with my brothers, when my brothers were in high school. I didn’t even take a sip; I just put a drop on my tongue and spat it out right away because it was not delicious. The two brothers emptied a bottle together, and after that, they never talked about drinking alcohol when they were in high school.

“He’s probably going to make you drink a lot to find out how much you can drink, but are you okay? I don’t think he’ll do that to you.”

“Yeah, I’m okay. I’ll probably drink well. Both me and you.”

“Oh, confidence~ Well, everyone in my family drinks well, so I won’t be weak either.”

I don’t know about Heena. Actually, I’m curious about what Heena will look like when she’s drunk.

“But where should we go? We’re walking around aimlessly.”

“Wherever Yeonhoo wants to go!”

“Sigh, I feel like you’ve been passing the destination on to me since some time ago…”

“Because I like being with you no matter where it is?”

Are you going to come out like that? The time when I was so happy with those words has passed.

“I like doing anything with you too? Now, please tell me where to go.”

“I said it first, so I won! You decide!”

“There’s no such rule.”

“Heung, you’ll regret it if you leave it to me?”

I answered her confidently as she spoke with her mouth pouting.

“Ah, I’ll follow you anywhere! Just tell me!”

“Really? No taking it back?”

“Of course.”

“If you take it back, you’ll grant my wish?”

I paused for a moment at the sight of her making a wish as if she had been waiting for it.

Why is it so uneasy? Is she going to go to a lingerie store with me? I felt like I was going to die when I went to pick out a swimsuit last year.

No, it can’t be.

“Call!” [Deal!/Promise!]

“You promised?”

“I’m telling you? I’m Han Yeonhoo, a man who has never gone back on his word since I was born.”

“That’s right.”

She narrowed her eyes at my words and looked at me, then took the lead and walked away. As long as it wasn’t a store that I would be embarrassed to go into like a swimsuit store, I could follow her anywhere.

If it’s really a lingerie store, I’ll just give up cleanly. Thinking that, I was wondering where she would take me.

The place we arrived at soon was a place I couldn’t have imagined.

“What are you going to do?”

“Wow.”

I exclaimed at the sight of the big Motel sign in front of me. I never thought she would choose this place in the middle of the day.

I was blankly raising my head to the place she had led me to, a place I had never expected. Heena pulled on my collar and urged me to answer.

“Mr. Han Yeonhoo, who has never gone back on his word? What are you going to do?”

“Isn’t this cheating? We can’t even go in yet.”

“If you’re okay with it, I’ll try to break through somehow. What are you going to do?”

I’m a little curious about how she’s going to break through. I want to tell her to do it if she can, but it seemed like Heena would really come up with a way. No, she might already have a way, so she’s doing this.

Heena was always a thorough woman with a plan.

But I didn’t want to admit defeat right away, so I struggled and worried, but in the end, I had no choice but to bow my head. My girlfriend was scary.

“I was wrong…”

“I won, right?”

“Sigh, yes. I lost. But is there a way?”

“What way?”

“A way to break into a motel.”

“There isn’t?”

What?

“Were you bluffing?”

“No way~? I was going to look into it from then on if you said you were going~”

“You, you tricked me!”

“Trick? Is it okay to say that to your girlfriend?”

Even if she says it cutely, I thought it was a bit unfair. I overestimated Heena too much and got scared on my own, but I didn’t know it would be like this!

“Then I’ll let you take back what you said now. Do you want to change it?”

“…….”

But I’m a little scared when she comes out like this again?

I couldn’t easily open my mouth to her confident attitude, as if she was ready to go in there right now.

In the end, when I couldn’t say anything and slowly shook my head, Heena clicked her tongue and pouted.

“Tsk, I was going to call my brother and go in first, then kick only my brother out.”

I got goosebumps at the trick that came out of her mouth naturally.

You tricked me twice? There was a way!

—

I was very dissatisfied with the result of the bet, but it was too ugly to find fault with it anymore.

I had no choice but to admit defeat cleanly. Heena was very disappointed in my appearance of admitting defeat, wondering what she was going to do inside, but soon she smiled and opened her mouth.

“Then you’ll grant my wish, right?”

“I have no choice…”

“Yay~”

Still, when I see my girlfriend, who is like a child next to me, I feel warm in my heart.

Yes, I didn’t lose, I just let her win. I just let my girlfriend win as her boyfriend to see her happy.

After finishing that mental victory in my head, I asked Heena, who was giving off a strange smile.

“Are you going to use your wish now?”

“Yes!”

I was glad that her immediate answer came out as if she had been waiting for it. There was no place to go anyway. It was Christmas, so everywhere was so crowded that it was hard to find a place to go in.

That’s why we were just taking a walk aimlessly.

“What’s your wish?”

“Don’t run away, go into the store, pay, and stick right next to me while shopping!”

“…….”

Why is the wish like this? Wait, this can’t be.

A sense of unease swept through my whole body, and I stopped walking and looked at Heena with trembling eyes. Then, she gave me a death sentence with a clear smile.

“Will you pick out my underwear with me?”

Holy shit.
