My Girlfriend Is Very Good To Me [EN]: Chapter 97

Ep. 96

After that, we chatted about nothing in particular before saying our goodbyes and heading home. I wished we could have grabbed a drink, but they’d been going from one drinking session to another and were all broke.

So, we just promised to get everyone together after the semester started and then left. Everyone’s going to be pretty busy from now on. As for me, I’ll be cooped up at home studying, so I’m always busy if I need to be, and free if I’m free.

Coming home, I felt surprisingly lonely as I ate dinner alone. I made kimchi and egg fried rice with soy sauce, just like my sister taught me.

Then, as usual, I focused on studying until almost 10 PM.

-Drrr

A video call came from Heena. I immediately straightened up, held my phone up to my face, and answered. Heena’s face popped up on the screen amidst the background noise.

Even though I’d seen her this morning, I was so happy to see her pretty smile that I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Hello?”

─Yeon-hoo~ Are you done studying?

“Yeah, I was just about to take a break. What about you? It sounds really loud.”

─The schedule for today is over, and now it’s drinking time.

“Really? Did you drink a lot?”

I asked, looking at Heena’s skin, which seemed to glow even through the screen. Heena doesn’t show it even when she drinks a lot, so I can’t tell just by looking at her face.

─No. What’s the fun in drinking without you… I just had a drink or two and I’m resting in the corner.

“I heard they force you to drink when you go to those things.”

─Well~ Maybe the guys do? They don’t do that to the girls.

“That’s good. Did you make a lot of friends?”

─So-so? More than that, I miss you so much~

“I miss you too. The house is too big without you. Haa… How am I going to survive tomorrow?”

─Really? Should I come over right now?! I feel like I’m going to die!

“How are you going to get here? You don’t have a car.”

─Still… Besides, I’m starting to miss kissing you… Kiss me now.

“Now?”

─Yeah!

Well, there’s no one around, so why not? She usually films it and sends it to me.

“Mwah!”

─Mwah~ Me too!

So, I made a kissing sound with my mouth and pretended to kiss the screen. Then Heena returned the gesture.

As we were exchanging kisses.

─Pfft! Hey, Lee Heena. You guys are really cute together.

“Who’s there?”

Damn it. I thought no one was around, so I did it without any embarrassment, but I heard a girl’s voice next to Heena. Holy sh*t!

─Yeah, this is Ria. I just became friends with her.

─Hello~ I’m Park Ria! I’m Lee Heena’s best friend from today!

─No, you’re not.

─Aren’t you being too firm?

“Hello. I’m Heena’s boyfriend.”

I was a little embarrassed to show that side of me, but I was glad that Heena seemed to have made a friend.

You might think I’m being too much like a mom, but Heena often treats people her age with a fairly detached attitude, even her high school friends. So, I sometimes get worried.

For a while, I could hear the sound of the two of them bickering over the screen, and then Ria, her friend, spoke.

─But your boyfriend is kind of cute~ You said he’s the same age as us, right? He’s a little bit my type-

─What?

─Ah, no! He’s, he’s not my type! I just said you guys look good together!

─…Really? Right? Hehe, thank you for saying that~

“Is… is something wrong?”

At the friend’s joking remark, I momentarily heard a chilling voice from Heena. It was so cold that even I felt a chill. I got scared and asked cautiously, and Heena’s atmosphere quickly returned to a gentle feeling.

Was that the scary Heena that Suhwang and Yoonseong were talking about that I saw for a moment…?

─Eung [yes], nothing. Is it okay if we talk for a long time?

“I’m fine, but is it okay for you to keep holding your phone there?”

─I refused to drink a few times. So now they don’t come to me.

─You refused because you had to call your boyfriend… Well, Heena, you’re so openly showing off, from your profile picture to your ring, so it’s a bit hard to hit on you.

Heena’s profile picture right now is probably a photo of us hugging and kissing. With a ring on and a profile picture like that, it wouldn’t be easy to hit on her. But there might be guys who still try, but I trusted that Heena would handle it well. She’s usually very sharp.

Anyway, somehow the three of us ended up talking. Ria, who briefly appeared on my screen next to Heena, was a girl with long hair and a good impression at first glance, just as much as Heena.

Just looking at her, you’d think, “Ah, she seems nice,” that kind of feeling. In some ways, she was similar to me. Is that why she became friends with Heena?

─I don’t think I’ll be able to contact you often tomorrow because of the sports festival… But I’ll send you a text whenever I have time.

“Just do it when you have time. Have fun.”

─How can I have fun without you?

─…I think I came here for nothing. My side is getting cold. You lovey-dovey couple.

─The schedule starts early tomorrow, so let’s wrap things up! Those who want to drink more, gather at the restaurant, and the rest go to your rooms!

In the middle of our conversation, a loud shout was heard from over there, announcing that they were breaking up the party. At that, both of them got up and said goodbye.

─We’re going to go now. Good night, Yeon-hoo. I love you!

“Yeah, I love you too. You sleep well too.”

─See you next time! You said you both live near the school? Introduce me.

─No way.

With that voice, the video call ended. Well, it seems like the things I was worried about didn’t really happen, and it seems like she made a close friend.

More than anything, I was glad that Heena, who hated going so much, seemed to be enjoying the event in her own way. Even though she said she wanted to come back right away, her expression didn’t look too bad.

Now, the only remaining problem is that I’m still lonely even after talking on the phone like this.

This was a really big deal. After the video call, my desire to meet Heena only grew stronger, and I wanted to hug her soft body as hard as I could. I guess I’ll have to sleep with a pillow tonight and tomorrow.

So, I felt a piercing loneliness and barely fell asleep.

The next day.

On the second day of Heena’s absence, I was just dead at home. I didn’t feel like playing games, and I just stared at the bed where I had various lovey-dovey moments with Heena, and I was just studying all day.

She must be very busy because of the event today, and there were hardly any texts from Heena from around noon.

What can I do in this situation?

[Meow~]

Suddenly, I remembered this. The video of Heena imitating a cat that I had received before. I watched her slightly fresher appearance from before countless times. The Heena in the video was very cute, but it felt so empty when I watched it.

I really want to see the real Heena…!

—

Due to Heena deprivation, after spending such hellish time until lunchtime on the last day.

Unexpectedly, Heena’s orientation schedule, which had a much bigger impact on me than Heena, finally ended. I couldn’t wait quietly at home for her to return, so I put on my clothes and went to pick her up at school.

I was worried that we might miss each other since I came without contacting her, but fortunately, the timing was perfect. I could feel the commotion from afar, and I thought she would be out soon, so I lingered near the entrance for a few minutes.

Before long, I saw Heena, who was rushing out ahead of everyone else. I knew that her urgency was definitely to meet me, so a smile spread across my face.

Heena also found me standing near the entrance as she was coming out, and she ran to me with a bright face and hugged me.

“Yeon-hoo!”

Hugging my girlfriend, who fit perfectly into my arms, felt like filling the emptiness in my heart that had been empty for the past two or three days.

This softness, her breath, her warm body temperature. All of that revived me, who had been like a corpse.

-Bow

At the same time, I gave a slight nod to those who seemed to be Heena’s classmates. Everyone was wondering what was going on and passed by looking at us.

Among them, I seemed to catch a glimpse of Ria, who had a slightly surprised look on her face. She saw our atmosphere and passed by without saying anything.

And from the men passing by in the distance, I could subtly feel the envious and jealous gazes coming my way. It was a bit burdensome, but this was something I had to endure while dating Heena. Even passersby were looking at us like that.

I quietly hugged her until everyone had passed by. And when there were almost no people around, I spoke to her, who had her face buried in my chest, taking a deep breath.

“Did you have a good time?”

“Sss… Haa… Yeah~ Yeon-hoo’s scent…”

“Wait, that’s not fair. I need to recharge with Heena too.”

“Eung~ Do you want to do it here? Should I hug you?”

“Let’s go home and do it. I really can’t stand it either.”

“Hehe… Okay~ Thank you for picking me up.”

“I came because I missed you too, what are you talking about.”

After that, as soon as we arrived home, we hugged each other tightly as if to make up for the time we had been apart. Even if we didn’t do anything sexual, we just felt how much we had missed each other.

However, now that it’s only been a few days, I’m comforting my longing like this, but I suddenly wondered what would happen if I really went to the military later. I’m like this even after not seeing her for only 3 days. It wasn’t even 3 days. The only day I didn’t see her face at all was one day.

Thanks to that, bad thoughts started to creep up. Should I really get Heena pregnant and get out as a full-time worker [referring to a program where fathers can serve in the military from home]?

Since Heena is also hoping for it, wouldn’t it be not just a bad idea?

“I have something to say.”

“Yeah?”

I was about to reflect on the fact that I was thinking of getting her pregnant because I was afraid of not seeing my girlfriend, and I was feeling a little low, when Heena opened her mouth with her face buried in my chest.

“It’s my selfishness… but can you take a break from studying tonight?”

“It’s okay for one day, but why?”

“While I was there, I really missed you so much. I wanted to touch you, I wanted to kiss you… Even being like this now is not enough.”

With those words, she looked up at me with moist eyes.

“Will you keep hugging and kissing me until I go to sleep tonight?”

I wanted to ask for that instead. So, I playfully answered.

“I can’t? I’m going to kiss you so you can’t sleep?”

“Hehe… Yeah. As much as you want, give me a lot. I don’t have to sleep, as much as you want.”

As soon as Heena finished speaking, I pulled her by the back of her head and kissed her.

So that this night may pass, fiercely.

It became March.

It was a month when new beginnings awaited many people, and my first part-time job was just around the corner. I’m going to put aside the fact that I did it at Yoonseong’s house because I thought it was a help.

Perhaps because of the reaction of being separated from Heena during the orientation, we were living much closer than before. As if we had become one body. It seemed like we were together all the time except when using the bathroom. To be honest, there were times when Heena tried to follow me to the bathroom, but even so, that’s a bit much.

Anyway, in the midst of living like that, Heena’s semester opening day and my first day of part-time work came.

I went to work at the cafe with a pounding heart ahead of a new experience. And after greeting the manager and Jia, I changed into my uniform and gradually learned the work one by one.

I couldn’t bear to look at Jia, who was kindly teaching me the work. Because I was embarrassed.

“She must like Yeon-hoo a lot.”

“….I’m sorry for our Heena…”

Arriving at the cafe a little later than me, ordering a cup of coffee, and sitting down, constantly looking at me.

Thanks to my girlfriend.
