My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty - Chapter 90
90 – 33. Living with My Platinum Girlfriend – 4
Eli and I didn’t leave the house until February.
In fact, the plan I had set before starting my solo life wasn’t like this.
Until mid-January, I thought we would live as recluses, but after getting used to living alone, we would go out and have fun together.
However, after starting my solo life, the farthest we went was to the large mart 15 minutes away from home.
The fact that we spent our days alone in this small two-room apartment, from morning to night, was enough to turn Eli, who loved outdoor dates, into a homebody.
It wasn’t until around February that we started to break free from just gazing into each other’s eyes and started our hobby lives again, which we had put on hold since high school.
-♬♪♬
“When you smile, the dazzling sunlight shines~”
“Heh heh…”
Although I hadn’t touched my guitar in a while, my guitar skills, which I had practiced for almost two years, were still quite good.
It wasn’t just because I practiced alone; thanks to Jungwoo’s help before he went to the army, my skills had improved a lot.
Eli, who had initially been unhappy with my guitar playing, started to enjoy it from last year’s birthday, especially when I sang love songs while playing the guitar.
When we were alone like this, Eli would sit close to me, shining her blue eyes, and gaze at me.
“How was it?”
“Det var bra! (It was amazing!)”
As soon as the song ended, Eli would hug me and kiss me on the lips.
Then Eli’s excited heart couldn’t be contained.
“Eli, let’s make lunch together…”
“I don’t know, maybe later.”
-Whoosh!
Eli took off my clothes, and we…
Um.
Anyway, aside from singing, I also started drawing again, which was my favorite hobby since I was young.
I reopened the external commissions I had put on hold for a year.
I enjoyed drawing according to other people’s tastes, and it also made my wallet very happy.
Actually, I wanted to try working part-time jobs like at a café or convenience store at least once.
“How about I try working part-time? At a café or convenience store… or a bar.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Are you going to die?”
“…I’ll just receive illustration commissions.”
“Hmph.”
Eli never gave me absolute permission. Since she was a fitting model, she could earn her own dating expenses, but she absolutely wouldn’t tolerate me working part-time outside.
So, I gave up on part-time jobs outside and focused on drawing at my computer, using a tablet. After Eli finished her household chores, she would come into my arms.
Thanks to the platinum cat, who would forcefully jump onto my gaming chair, seeking my attention, I couldn’t focus on drawing for long periods.
And today, Eli took it a step further.
“Do you need a model?”
“A model? You want me to wear a swimsuit?”
“No. A nude model.”
“…….”
“For your drawing practice. Do you need one?”
She dangled the bait of being her nude model, trying to unsettle my mind.
“…I’ll finish what I’m doing now and ask you later. I want to get this done as quickly as possible.”
“How long will it take?”
“About 30 minutes?”
“Okay. Do it.”
“Finish quickly… Eli? Why is your zipper…”

“Just do what you’re doing. I’ll play alone until you’re done.”
“Jeez…!”
She started bothering me from under the desk.
In the end, it was inevitable that things would turn out this way.
We were a couple who had been together for several years, after all.
Still, we enjoyed our hobby-like lifestyle, and as we gradually got used to our two-person cohabitation, we started calling our current place “our home”.
***
February 12th.
The time for my new semester was approaching.
But even as the new semester drew near, Eli’s mood didn’t particularly worsen.
When we drank lightly with friends and chatted, she showed a slightly stronger reaction…
Actually, I knew that the university’s new semester wasn’t some crazy, wild party, but rather a basic event for freshmen to bond.
So, even though she wasn’t thrilled, she didn’t sulk about it every day.
On the contrary.
“Remember what you heard during the OT? Write down what you need here so you don’t forget.”
“Toiletries, clothes to change into, and a charger… I think those are the most important things. They said to wear comfortable clothes for activities.”
“It’s not a big deal. You can just bring that Raike backpack from last time. I’ll pack clothes and everything in there.”
“Okay. Ah, don’t forget to bring hangover remedies, right?”
“Hangover remedies… Ah, no. I’ll ask Vinny Unnie what’s good.”
“Vinny Unnie? Wow, you really know her well… Okay, I’ll ask her.”
As always, Eli took care of me meticulously. I really liked this Eli.
Although she would pout and show a stubborn face, her heart and actions as a girlfriend who always gave me her all were truly amazing.
“And you know? From three days before our departure, it’s going to be…”
“Ah, I know. From then on, I’ll just turn off my phone.”
However, right before we left for our trip, Eli and I promised to spend some sticky time together, just like we did at the beginning of January. We would recharge ourselves beforehand, since we wouldn’t be able to see each other for a while.
I was definitely going to miss Eli, so I welcomed that recharge.
“And then, wear that too. The lingerie that Min-ah noonim sent us as a gift.”
“Lingerie? If I wear it, I’ll work even harder, okay?”
“Absolutely. You didn’t joke around when you wore it last time, remember?”
“……Heh.”
Moreover, I was really looking forward to Eli wearing the black s*xy lingerie that Min-ah noonim had sent us as a gift through Min-jae.
Noonim said she bought it as novel material, but it fit Eli perfectly, so she gave it to us as a gift.
It was so s*xy and provocative that when Eli wore it a few days ago, I went crazy.
So, when I asked Eli to wear it again, she seemed happy to oblige. I had been extremely excited, and Eli had enjoyed it too.
“By the way, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day.”
“It’s already come to that. What should we do this year? Make some chocolates again?”
“Do you want to eat them?”
“If you make them, I’ll definitely want to eat them.”
“That’s not just about chocolates, though.”
“I know, but…”
If Eli made something for me with all her heart, I would be touched and enjoy eating it no matter what it was.
And in response to my words, Eli began to think deeply about something, hugging me tightly.
A moment later…
“How about we do something else instead of chocolates?”
“What?”
“Let’s go out.”
“What… suddenly? Hyung and noonim are coming over tonight.”
“We’ll be back before then.”
After spending some cozy time at home, I got ready to go out due to Eli’s sudden urge.
I quickly did my hair, and Eli picked out an outfit for me to change into.
However, today’s coordination was extremely casual.
I wore a pair of banded pants, a man-to-man shirt, and a padding jacket on top – a very simple and comfortable outfit.
While it was certainly comfortable, Eli would usually put in some effort to dress us up, even if it meant sacrificing some comfort.
But not today. It seemed like she just wanted to buy some ingredients at the mart.
However, as soon as we left the house, Eli headed towards the subway station instead of the mart.
“Are we taking the subway? Where are we going?”
“Gangnam.”
“Gangnam?”
It was a very unexpected destination. A question mark appeared in my head, but I didn’t bother to ask and just followed her quietly.
It had been a while since Eli and I went out this far, so I just enjoyed the feeling of going on an outing.
We arrived at Seonjeong Station.
“…….”
-Glances, glances
Even on the subway, and after getting off at the station, people couldn’t help but steal glances at Eli.
Perhaps more brazenly than when I was in high school.
It was unavoidable.
Eli had become more mature compared to last year, and even more so this year.
It might just be my own thought, but after being with me, she seemed to have gained a certain charm, making her even more beautiful.
Even the way the sunlight reflected off her platinum blonde hair was enough to naturally captivate anyone’s attention.
Of course, it was a familiar scene, so I lightly brushed it off and walked through the crowded streets.
“Let’s turn right at the intersection… and go.”
“Is it far from here?”
“A bit. I just want to take a walk for a bit. Do you mind?”
“If you want to, I’m fine with it.”
With a slightly changed yet similar gaze, Eli smiled softly and linked arms with me.
We walked through the bustling streets of Gangnam and finally arrived at…
“…A lingerie store?”
It was a high-end lingerie specialty shop. As a man, I felt a bit awkward entering.
I stood there in surprise, unable to process the unexpected location, when Eli gave me a sly smile and explained.
“I thought you liked lingerie, so I’ll wear what you choose for Valentine’s Day.”
“You’ll wear what I choose?”
“Yes, what you choose. Originally, I was going to do a cosplay, but… you still haven’t made a choice, have you?”
“Sorry… I had a hard time choosing…”
As we walked inside, surrounded by the vibrant women’s lingerie, our conversation slowed.
But when Eli said she would wear the lingerie I chose, I steeled myself.
I had chosen swimsuits and the like before, but it felt different now that we were adults.
Now, I could confidently see her wear the clothes I chose.
I could see her putting them on, taking them off, or even taking them off myself.
Thanks to that, my enthusiasm surged.
Honestly, entering a place like this was embarrassing, but the reward was certain, so I had no reason to avoid it.
-Ding!
I followed Eli as she opened the door and entered.
“Welcome.”
We passed by the employee, who greeted us brightly, seemingly unfazed by our presence as a couple.
“……”
I was faced with a wide variety of lingerie that filled my field of vision.
And among them, I couldn’t take my eyes off a particular lingerie I spotted as soon as I walked in.
It was crazy.
“…Eli.”
“Why?”
“What’s with that?”
“What’s with this… it’s perverted.”
Eli’s eyes widened to an alarming degree, as if to say “you’re being too obvious.”
The pink see-through bra that seemed to expose everything caught my heart.
I really wanted to see Eli wear it.
