Chapter 48: Heena, Don''t Give Up! (2)

    TL: looloo

    Schedule: 4/Week Wed-Sat

    Our family was planning to leave the house empty. Dad would be at work, and Mom often goes out, so that''s given. If my older brother is taken out by Yoonjung noona, will she also take care of my younger brother?

    He, embodying the spirit of a game-addicted shut-in who hates even stepping outside, was not easily persuaded to go out. I don’t know what bait she used on him. Since the computer he ordered hasn''t arrived yet, she might be taking him to a PC room.

    After leaving that comment and vanishing with Yoonjung noona, Heena started preparing for our date until the next day with firm resolve.

    Today is the last day of the vacation and also the day of the date with Heena, who seems to be planning something.

    When we''re alone, especially when there''s no one around, Heena''s level of physical affection tends to skyrocket, which worries me more.

    In order to decrease those behaviors that test my self-control even just a little, I had to be proactive.

    If I initiate a kiss or something first, she will accept it meekly.

    Moreover, from the moment I stepped out of the house, strangely, my brothers were also preparing to go out.

    "Where are you guys going?"

    "PC room."

    I asked just in case, and sure enough, that was the answer.

    Well, it''s better to leave the house empty when Heena comes over than having someone at home. Even if they don’t do anything wrong, it’s still a distraction.

    Watching the two sluggishly moving about for a moment, I also left the house.

    I wonder what Heena talked about with Mom or Yoonjung noona yesterday. What on earth will happen today?

    My heart was pounding with a mix of fear and anticipation as I took the subway to our meeting place.

    In the early days of our relationship, I often saw Heena waiting because she arrived too early. Now, I always arrive first without fail.

    Not that I come 1 or 2 hours early to beat Heena, but because we made a deal.

    "Heena, I feel sorry for making you wait all the time, and I worry a lot, so could you try to arrive about 10 minutes earlier?" I asked while kissing her, and she agreed at once.

    Anyway, I wonder how she will appear today. I thought I heard the word "sexy" yesterday, but surely she isn''t giving that vibe from her outfit?

    If she does appear in such attire...

    I stood there for a few minutes with conflicting feelings of wanting to see it and not wanting to show it to others.

    I began to see her walking from afar.

    Fortunately, her clothes were not much different from usual. Light denim shorts with a white T-shirt tucked in, and a slightly large crossbody bag.

    It was a similar outfit to when we went to the beach, but, I’m not sure if my perception was accurate, somehow, with her brighter makeup and expression today, she seemed her age.

    Not that her usual makeup was heavy, but today it seemed subtly different? There were many times when she seemed mature just by standing still on other days.

    I was sure that the moment Heena arrived, we would start with a kiss. So I slightly spread my arms, waiting for her to come to me.

    However, my expectation was mistaken. She did kiss me, but...

    Instead of the lips, she pressed her mouth to my cheek and crossed her arms.

    "Did you wait long?"

    Huh, isn’t Heena’s voice tone a bit high?

    "Yeonho oppa."

    "...............Yes?"

    My mind froze for a moment at the unexpected form of address.

    Huh? Oppa?

    "Why? Don’t you like being called oppa?"

    "No, I like it!"

    I did like it, but the memory of being scolded for adopting a manly concept just last week was still vivid. Is it your turn to play a concept this time?

    "I thought maybe just for today. Didn’t you pester mom for a little sister when you were young?"

    "A little sister and a girlfriend are kind of different, don’t you think?"

    Playing tricks here, huh.

    "Hehehe-"

    Unable to move my face closer again, thinking she might dodge it, Lee Heena chuckled mischievously, then hugged my neck and overlaid her lips upon mine.

    Then she pushed the popcorn she had been biting into my mouth.

    The slightly moist popcorn, which I could sense had her saliva on it, rolled on my tongue.

    "The popcorn I give you, it’s delicious, isn’t it?"

    "Don’t play these tricks on me."

    "Do you dislike me playing tricks, Oppa?"

    "I like it.."

    "See~? I''ll hold the popcorn!"

    Saying that, she snatched the popcorn box that I had been holding, then once again bit into a popcorn, looking at me with twinkling, playful eyes.

    In front of her mischievousness, I barely suppressed the desire welling up from deep within my heart.

    Even though the movie started when I entered the theater, my mind couldn''t fully concentrate on it.

    Thanks to my girlfriend sitting quietly beside me, watching the film.

    Today’s Lee Heena was not blatantly appealing as before, but subtly sneaking in with such cuteness, my rationality was shaken more than usual.

    If this was a tactic that came out of yesterday’s meeting with Yoonjung noona, I had nothing to say but to admire its brilliance.

    Because it was too precisely aimed at my taste.

    It’s true that I wanted a younger sister, and I do like cute things, and my feelings for Heena are genuine. But the three fused together.

    Heena, whom I adore, acting as a cute, younger sister-like girlfriend?

    Yoonjung noona knew me better than I thought. I should send a thankful message later.

    With such thoughts, I focused on the screen, where a couple in the movie was sitting side by side on a bench, leaning on each other.

    “We often sit like that too,” I thought as I watched, then Heena called me in a small voice.

    "Oppa."

    "Hmm?"

    "Will you stroke my hair?"

    "......Sure."

    The atmosphere in the movie, the ambiance of the dark theater where we locked eyes, it was all perfect timing. I thought we would kiss right away, but consistent with today’s concept, she squinted slightly and extended her head.

    She truly intended to proceed with this today.

    Her hair, completely unlike mine, smooth as silk, I could stroke it all day without getting bored, so I gently stroked it.

    "Uhm~"

    Was she feeling good with my touch? I wanted to grab her chin and kiss her right there at the sound of that soft moan.

    But, it was a bit regrettable that Heena was sticking to the concept and I was breaking it already.

    Fearing that Heena’s cute concept might end the moment I can’t stand it and accelerate things, I pinched my thigh to endure.

    If it was Heena recently, she would have been caressing my thigh in return at such a timing.

    Author’s Note:

    Upon rereading, I found the subtitle a bit embarrassing, so I edited it....

    You all seem to know nothing but naughty things. It’s truly embarrassing.

    Our Heena has fallen into cuteness.
