My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty - Chapter 96
96 – 35. Eli and My Plan for a Private Car
“What did you do when you went out?”
“I didn’t do much. Besides what I told you on KakaoTalk, we just gathered to play games and watch a performance… I don’t really remember anything else except drinking.”
“Did you get close with the other kids? The seniors?”
“Yeah, I did.”
“The girls?”
“Yes?”
“A lot?”
“…….”
“Answer.”
“…Don’t you know that half of the world is women?”
“Answer.”
“We exchanged numbers, but that’s all. You’re famous, so everyone knows you. We’ve all seen your profile picture at least once, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh?”
-Kwaak!…
“Uh…! If you grip it too hard, it’s… Elly, calm down…”
“Why did you drink with Lee So-yeon and Joo Hye-ryeong?”
“At the drinking gathering… Ugh… Why did you drink, you ask? I have something to say…”
“You three stuck together, right? And you took a photo and sent it to me? Are you trying to kill me?”
“…….”
“Aren’t you going to answer? Do you want to die?”
“…Elly.”
“What.”
“If you put your hand in my panties and grab it like that, I can’t take it…”
“Heh.”
-Swip… swip…
“It’s… If you touch me like this, it’s even harder to bear…”
“Why did it end up like this?”
“Why did it end up like this? Of course, it’s because you touched me…”
“Did you get excited?”
“I did get excited.”
“Because I touched you?”
“It’s not just that, but the see-through lingerie you’re wearing right now is really too s*xy.”
“Does it show everything?”
“It subtly shows everything.”
“Heh.”

-Kkuk…
“Hmm…”
“Am I heavy?”
“…Not at all? I’ve always said it, but you’re incredibly light. There’s no need to worry.”
“I’ll take care of it from the top.”
“That’s good for me too… Elly.”
“Heh… What’s with…”
“Condom?”
“…….”
“Not yet…”
“Hmm.”
“…Hmm?”
“I forgot. I’ll take it out, so wait.”
“Ah, okay… but you really did forget, right… umph…!”

As soon as I returned home, Eli enthusiastically pounced on me and we spent the next two days cooped up at home.
Even after that, Eli wanted to spend more quality time with me. I felt the same way.
However, I had previously scheduled a driving lesson and test, and Eli’s fitting model schedule was also approaching.
Now, as a full-time model for a shopping mall, Eli was receiving a higher pay than before.
Of course, Eli couldn’t do as they pleased anymore.
Unlike when Eli was a high school student and would only contact me when they had free time, now they had to adjust their schedule according to the shopping mall’s plans.
Thanks to this, we ended up shooting more frequently, and the increased pay was a bonus.
Most importantly, Eli was overflowing with enthusiasm.
“I’ll save all my pay from now on.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“I’ll buy a car.”
“A car? You want to buy a car? It’ll take too long to save up for that, won’t it? Why not just borrow your parents’ car or rent one when you want to go out?”
“My dad and uncle both drive to work, so I don’t want to rent a car. They’ll think I’m being lazy and will nag me about it.”
“That’s true. We can’t make their commutes more inconvenient because of us.”
“And when I want to go somewhere, I want to be able to use our own car freely.”
“That’s also a good point… but won’t it take about a year to save up for that? How much does a car cost?”
“It doesn’t have to take that long. I’ll buy a used one.”
“Used? Ah, that’s a good idea for a first car.”
“A used compact car can be bought for around 500 to 1,000 dollars. Our insurance premiums will be high since we’re young, but it’s doable.”
“What? You know a lot about this? Did you research it when I wasn’t around?”
“I asked my uncle about it.”
“Ah, I see.”
I could rest easy knowing the source of Eli’s information.
Although my dad seemed gentle on the surface, he was actually very strict and thorough in his approach to life. Especially when it came to things like this, he was extremely meticulous and reliable.
It was the same when we signed the contract for our current place.
The fact that our dad wasn’t being too strict was probably because Eli was the only one in the world, aside from family, who was so dear to him.
He loved his future daughter-in-law so much.
“I’ve already refused his offer to buy it for me a hundred times. He even sent me a message about it today.”
“That’s just like Dad.”
“You should refuse him unconditionally too. Got it?”
“Of course. It’s embarrassing to receive such favors. By the way, it’s nice that you’re loved by your father-in-law, Eli.”
“Heh, what’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means that if you’re around, Dad will want to buy everything for you. I understand how Dad feels. You just need to be moderately cute, Eli.”
“…….”
“Why are you looking at me like that? Want a kiss?”
“…….”
-Gasp!
“I’m not satisfied with just one time.”
“Heh.”
-Gasp!
“A bird kiss is not enough.”
“Want to keep doing it? Like when you left a mark on my chest?”
“That’s good. Do it like when you left a mark on my neck.”
“…….”
“Will you do it?”
“…Take off your pants.”
“What? Not on top, but on the bottom.”
“Shut up.”
-Swoosh!
Now, it was like any ordinary couple living together, and we suddenly became passionate and entwined our bodies.
After enjoying ourselves for about an hour, including the aftermath, we returned to the sofa, with Eli in my arms, and searched for used cars on the tablet.
Since we didn’t have enough money, we weren’t planning to buy one immediately, but rather just to see what kind of cars were available.
And our main search target was the compact car Eli had mentioned.
“But isn’t a compact car a bit small?”
“What’s wrong with it being small? We’re going to ride it together.”
“That’s true, but… don’t you remember what Vini noona said? If we want to do that, don’t we need a bigger car?”
“…Do you really want to try it?”
“Not necessarily… but if we get the chance…”
As soon as we started talking about doing it in the car, Eli looked at me with a sly gaze.
I was operating the tablet, and Eli was only leaning on me, so they casually stroked my chest with their hand.
-Stroke
At the same time, Eli lifted one leg over mine and said in a seductive voice.
“…If we want to, we can do it in the morning too.”
“What?”
“Even in a small car, we can do it if we want to.”
“…Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“Did Vini noona tell you that?”
“Yes.”
She was really a grateful noona in this regard. I held Eli, who was breathing hotly, and continued searching on the tablet.
“It’s definitely true that compact cars are a good choice considering the price. And it seems like there are many benefits too.”
“Take a look at that.”
“What’s that?”
“Rae.”
“Rae? Is this it? Oh… the car is so cute. It’s fine, I like it.”
There weren’t many types of cars, so it didn’t take long to look around.
And among them, the Rae that Eli found, a square-shaped car, caught my eye as well.
Something about its square shape was cute, and the fact that it had a lot of space in the back was great.
“But isn’t the recent model quite expensive? It’s only been out for a bit, so it’s natural.”
“……”
“Still, do you like this one the most?”
“Yes.”
“I do too… and it would be good to have space for other people to ride in, and for when we travel together later…”
“That sounds good too.”
“That’s right.”
“Pervert.”
“Yes, I’m a pervert.”
“Let’s keep it as a candidate for now. We’re not buying it now anyway, and we need to save up money first.”
“Okay.”
After that, we looked at several other cars, but since I had already fallen for Rae, none of them really caught my attention.
So, we tentatively decided on the car we would buy. We planned to ask our parents if it was okay and finalize the decision later.
The price was a bit high, but that was only for the recent model, and a few years old would be similar in price to other used cars, so it was worth buying.
Plus, Eli would earn more money from modeling, and I would start getting freelance illustration work, so we would be able to save up money steadily.
Fortunately, our parents were covering our rent and living expenses, so it was easy to save money.
Additionally, Eli had saved up quite a bit of money last year.
We had bought some furniture and things with Eli’s money when we moved, but we still had about half of it left.
“Now, let’s go take a shower and get ready. Our driving lessons start at 4 pm.”
“Are you going to take a shower?”
“I’ll take one. Come and wash my back.”
“Just wash?”
“What kind of foolish thing are you saying?”
“Sorry. Then I’ll go grab a condom from my room.”
“There’s one in the bathroom.”
“We used them all up yesterday. We need to get a new box.”
“……Damn it.”
“…Yeah?”

After completing the two-day driving course and the subsequent exam, we finally got our licenses.
It wasn’t that hard to get a license. The exam had become easier compared to before, and we were good at driving anyway.
To be honest, I was just a bit above average, but Eli was so good that the driving instructor was impressed.
She had a familiar air about her, like someone who had been driving for years.
Anyway, we passed the exam safely and received our licenses on the same day.
We stopped by our hometown for a bit, and as it happened, our parents were all there in the evening, so we took the opportunity to discuss buying a used car with them.
“Rae? Your car is so cute. Isn’t it okay? There are a lot of benefits for idols these days.”
“Eomma~ It would be great if we could go on a drive with the four of us~ We could also buy some delicious food in the suburbs.”
“There was a place with delicious eel on the way to Ilsan…”
At first, Mom and Auntie had a very positive reaction. They were delighted and supportive when we said we would earn money ourselves and buy it, without burdening them.
They even hinted that it would be nice if we went on a drive with just the four of us, leaving Dad and Mark behind.
And then Dad and Mark said:
“That’s great. The two of you can go for a drive.”
“Eli and you look good together. Shall we go, Do-hyun?”
“Yeah, Mark.”
“Where are we going?”
“You’re going to buy a car. Dad will get it fully loaded with options, so you can drive it well…”
“Hey, sit down.”
“Hehe~ Mark will keep quiet for a bit, right?”
“……Yeah.”
“……Okay.”
They even offered to buy us a new car, but of course, Mom and Auntie immediately shut that down.
In fact, Mom usually tries to do everything for me, but this time, she wanted us to make an effort ourselves.
“We’ll keep sending you your rent and living expenses, so if you want to buy a car, you can work together and buy it yourselves.”
“Yeah~ We’ll work hard and save up, so we’ll have more affection for it~”
“And who knows, you might change your mind and think you don’t need it after all. So, think carefully while you’re saving up.”
“Okay.”
“Yes.”
We nodded in agreement with Mom’s very reasonable opinion.
Smiling, Mom got up from her seat.
“Then let’s get going now.”
“Huh? Where are you going, Mom?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Nowhere! We’re going to go for a drive with our son driving!”
“Then, then~ We have to do that~”
“We’ll just drive around the neighborhood a few times and grab a cup of coffee at a cafe before coming back. You can practice your driving too.”
“…Hey, what about us?”
“Yerin…”
“You stay and watch the house. We’ll stop by the market on our way back.”
“Mark, can you clean the bathroom a bit?”
“……”
“……”
So we took Mom and Auntie on a drive around the neighborhood, combining it with driving practice.
Since both of them drive frequently near their homes, we could get a lot of practical tips on driving in the neighborhood.
And when we returned to our dorm late that evening, we started a meeting about saving money.
Basically, we would save 100% of the money we earn from modeling jobs or freelance work, and try to cut back on our monthly living expenses as much as possible.
“Let’s keep dates like this at home from now on. If we want to do something, we’ll go out then.”
“What’s the point of meeting with friends?”
“If you make a promise, you can use it when you play. Don’t be stingy with that too. We don’t see each other often anyway.”
“Then, shouldn’t we just reduce our usual wasteful spending? But we don’t really waste anything, do we?”
“Not really.”
“You’re always good at managing household chores without wasting money.”
“Of course, it’s natural.”
“Thank you always. I love you.”
Eli, with a smile on her face, looked away and continued speaking.
“There’s a place where we can cut back on unnecessary expenses…”
“What is it?”
“Condoms.”
“Condoms? Those are essential. Are you saying we should reduce s*x? That’s something neither of us can control.”
“Why control it? We can just not use them.”
“……”
“What?”
“You’ve been trying to do it without condoms lately…”
“That’s a misunderstanding.”
“It doesn’t seem like it…”
“Are you suspecting me right now?”
“No, it’s not that… Sorry.”
“Whatever.”
“Since we’re talking about it… shall we?”
“Were you not going to do it? Follow me to the room.”
“Yes.”
Well, it ended up happening again today.
After all the meetings and whatnot, I ended the day with s*x with Eli, but that’s all.
