My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty - Chapter 99



99 – 36. About the University Senior’s Girlfriend Being Too Perfect and Envy-Inducing

It was March, a time when university freshmen were still reeling from the excitement of being new students.

At Seoyeon University, where the country’s top students gathered, it was no different.

After befriending people at the freshman orientation, daily gatherings and drinking parties became the norm.

Kim Seong-joon gazed at Lee Do-yoon, his friend from university.

“Do-yoon, can you drink today? You’ve gathered everyone, but if you back out, it’ll be embarrassing.”

“I’ll go. My girlfriend is coming too.”

“Ha… Why do you need to ask your girlfriend for permission? Just be a man and say you’re going to drink! You can say you’ll be back later!”

“Do you think Eli would be amused if I did that?”

“I don’t know about that, but I think Kang-chan would be curious about why you’re so obedient.”

“What, kiddo?”

As Kim Seong-joon watched Lee Do-yoon chatting and laughing with other seniors, he couldn’t help but feel impressed.

Putting aside his other flaws, Lee Do-yoon was fundamentally a good person. He always wore a comfortable smile and spoke in a gentle tone.

Of course, he sometimes used rough language like other guys his age, but it never gave off a bad vibe.

Add to that his facial features, which were so stunning that rumors about him being a natural-born celebrity had spread, and it was only natural that he drew attention.

“This guy has surpassed the ‘umchinah’ level.”

He was good-looking, tall, and had a great personality, making him a perfect catch.

Even his girlfriend, whom Kim Seong-joon had only seen in photos, was so beautiful that he could believe she was an AI or a foreign top model.

Kim Seong-joon had felt envious since he first saw her photo, but after spending time with Lee Do-yoon at university, he realized that she was a perfect match for him.

The reasons mentioned earlier were part of it, but to Kim Seong-joon, Lee Do-yoon’s greatest strength was that he always remained the same, regardless of who he was with.

He didn’t get caught up in his own pride, and instead, always spoke with a smile and eye contact, which made him likable.

“Isn’t that right? Girls seem to keep a slight distance when interacting with him.”

Unlike when he interacted with guys, Lee Do-yoon drew a fine line when dealing with girls, but that only made him more attractive.

“Seong-joon, are you coming too?”

“Of course, I’m coming. You didn’t get permission from your girlfriend to drink at home, so we ended up not going. We have to drink somehow.”

“Sorry, sorry. I’ll tell her not to do that at home from now on.”

“Living together is impossible. But can your girlfriend come over today?”

“There are too many people, but if it’s just for a brief visit, I can ask her to come over.”

Kim Seong-joon was grateful for his own luck.

On the bus to Saetor, the person who sat next to him was none other than Lee Do-yoon, who had become close to him. Fortunately, it was him, so they could become friends quickly.

As Kim Seong-joon had come up to Gangwon-do alone, he was worried that he wouldn’t have any friends to eat with, so this was even better.

“Did you hear that, Gang-chan? Just adjust accordingly.”

“We can just drop the member here. Any additional people will be considered spies.”

“How many people are there now?”

“Now? Let’s see… about four?”

“Four, excluding us? You gathered them by selling Lee Do-yoon, and that’s all? Haven’t you asked the kids yet?”

“There are fourteen.”

“Are you crazy?”

“What can we do if they all come? By the way, half of them are girls.”

“Then it’s good. This is an overkill.”

“But there are a lot of members, so is it okay to call your girlfriend? Please say it’s okay.”

“It’s a lot, but I’ll call her once.”

Honestly, as a man, there were many things to envy, but it didn’t exceed the limits.

The feeling Kim Seong-joon got from Lee Do-yoon was just that, and he thought the other male friends who were getting close would feel the same.

After the lecture.

At the evening drinking session.

“Hello, I’m Aliyah, Lee Do-yoon’s girlfriend.”

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

Until they saw Lee Do-yoon’s girlfriend.

Everyone present was stunned. Kim Seong-joon couldn’t believe it.

Even the photos were suspicious of being edited or AI-generated, but the real thing was even more astonishing.

From the first glance, the impression was that she was beautiful, and no other words came out.

Her platinum hair, which was both fluffy and defined, her clear facial features, her long eyelashes, her blue eyes, and her pretty lips.

Her slender figure, which was visible even under her clothes, was insane.

Kim Seong-joon’s, the men’s, and even the women’s gazes were all captivated at once.

“Elly, sit here.”

“Okay.”

“Do you want to eat something?”

“I ate a little while ago when I met your mom.”

“Oh, you went to the department store with your mom?”

“Yes. So you eat a lot. That’s your favorite, right?”

Lee Do-yoon’s girlfriend sat down beside him, naturally and comfortably, as if it was a given, and handed him food with a familiar gesture, calling her boyfriend’s mom “mom” as if it was nothing.

Watching this, Kim Seong-joon felt a burning envy rising from the depths of his heart, and it was as if tears would fall.

‘Wow…’

If he had to choose between a pretty girlfriend and Ido-yun’s face, he would have chosen the latter until this gathering.

But when he saw Ido-yun’s girlfriend, Alisa, his heart leaned towards the pretty girlfriend side.

A beautiful foreign woman, like those seen in movies… no, a stunning Nordic beauty gazed at him with affection in her eyes, making him feel cherished.

How happy would he be?

Kim Seong-jun couldn’t even dare to imagine.

Because he had never experienced having a girlfriend like that.

“This is Seong-jun. We talked last time?”

“Yeah, we hung out a lot during the Saetter festival, right? Nice to meet you.”

“Ah, yes, nice to meet you… I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Although she didn’t seem like the overly affectionate type, her slightly sharp eyes and expressions were charming in themselves.

He had to admit, she was cool.

Alisa, who had briefly appeared at the gathering and turned the lively atmosphere into an awkward silence, was…

— Swipe —

She was gazing at the women rather than the men, making eye contact with each one.

Kim Seong-jun, who had only played games except for when he studied, somehow knew why she was doing that.

Perhaps it was a small warning, telling the men that the guy next to her was hers.

But even with such an obvious warning, the women who came with them couldn’t say a word.

They would just meet her gaze, blush slightly, and avert their eyes.

He could understand their minds as well.

‘I wouldn’t dare to make eye contact either…’

He, too, didn’t have the confidence to hold her beautiful gaze.

Thanks to that, the 15 minutes or so that Alisa was there became awkward, and the dozen or so friends couldn’t easily talk to her, only exchanging quiet conversations.

“Ido-yun.”

“Yes?”

“… … … “

“Ah, okay? Got it.”

Alisa whispered something in Ido-yun’s ear and got up from her seat, as if she felt sorry for making the atmosphere uncomfortable.

“I’ll just go since I dropped by on my way back.”

Because of her considerate gesture, Kim Seong-jun unintentionally raised his voice.

“Hey, Ido-yun! Your girlfriend is leaving, so you should go too. It’s about time for you to get kicked out anyway.”

“What? Is it already that time?”

“No, what are you saying? It’s late, so you should go together! You’re trying to send your girlfriend off alone.”

“But…”

“Kim Seong-jun is right. Just go, Ido-yun.”

“Okay, I’ll send my girlfriend off.”

“You’re not sending her off, you’re going in together, right? You’re living together, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Anyway, I’ll go first~”

In reality, the gathering could have continued for another hour or two, but it was more worrisome for him to send his friend’s pretty girlfriend off alone.

The other colleagues seemed to share the same sentiment, and they all nodded in agreement. Idoyun, with a slightly embarrassed expression and a subtle smile, slowly got up from his seat.

“Sorry about that. Let’s grab a drink again next time. Did Sungjun calculate the bill? Send me the amount via text later.”

“Okay. Tomorrow’s… the weekend, anyway. Let’s meet on Monday.”

“Be careful on your way home!”

With that, the two of them left the bar, and the remaining colleagues finally began to raise their voices again.

“This is unbelievable.”

“The atmosphere is so awkward. I couldn’t even make eye contact with people around me.”

“That’s why Idoyun doesn’t make drinking plans easily. I’d rather just go home.”

“It’s like they’re meant to be… Haah…”

“Did you give up?”

“Yeah, I gave up…”

The astonishment and amazement towards Idoyun’s girlfriend led the conversation to revolve around the two, and no one knew when the topic would end.

Thanks to that, the drinking session, which was supposed to end earlier, continued longer than expected.

As it approached the dormitory’s curfew, the group dispersed, and on his way back, Sungjun suddenly thought to himself.

“…I want to see her again.”

It wasn’t just admiration; it was like being smitten with a celebrity at first sight.

The idea of being friends with that platinum-haired girl was unimaginable. It was a different feeling from when he saw Idoyun’s female friends during the school festival.

He just felt like he wanted to see her again, like a fan obsessed with an idol.

“Well, it’s not like I can see her again easily, anyway.”

It seemed like she didn’t go out much, and she didn’t invite people over to her place often, so it would be hard to meet her again.

Feeling a sense of longing, Sungjun returned to the dormitory and slept until Saturday lunchtime.

“…Huh?”

[23Idoyun: Are you resting well?]

[23Idoyun: You said you wanted to come to my place and drink, right?]

[23Idoyun: Come visit me sometime]

[23Idoyun: Eli said you’re a cool guy, so I’ll invite you over sometime ㅋㅋ]

“Ha, really…”

As soon as he woke up, he checked the text and let out a dry laugh.

Was Idoyun doing this because he felt sorry for him? It seemed like it. Lying down, he thought about it, and soon, he became convinced.

Of course, it was great that he could see Alisa again.

But.

“Ugh…! I’m so jealous, damn it!!”

Sungjun tossed and turned on his bed, unable to contain his jealousy.

Yes.

He was too jealous.

That beautiful girlfriend of Idoyun’s, who was loved by her university colleague like that…

“Was it Seonghun? That friend is okay.”

“It’s not Seonghun, it’s Seongjun…”

“Anyway.”

“Are you going somewhere and telling me to come along?”

“Yeah.”

“I thought you were nice from the first time I saw you, so I liked you. Seong-jun is like that too, and all our friends are nice, so it’s easy to get along with them.”

“That’s great.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“What’s up?”

“Hey, Eli, did you want to drink earlier?”

“…Not really.”

“You kept glancing at your watch…”

“No.”

“You know, we could order some drinks online and try them?”

“Ideoyun. Didn’t I say I wouldn’t drink anymore, that I’d die if I did?”

“No, it’s not about drinking a lot, just trying a little. Just one bottle each. What do you say?”

“…….”

“I’m also curious about that kind of thing, and it’s more comfortable to drink with just the two of us than with others. You feel the same, right? If it’s just the two of us, it doesn’t matter if we get a little drunk.”

“…If you want to buy it, it’s fine with me.”

“Okay. Let’s try it once tomorrow.”

“Sounds good.”

“Should we take a shower soon?”

“Yeah, take off your clothes.”

“You’re so cute. Come here.”

“Cute… Yeah…”
