My Girlfriend Is Very Good to Me

As soon as I got off the bus, I immediately hailed a taxi nearby. It felt like the first time I had traveled by train, bus, and taxi all in one day.

"Yep, we're almost there. Got it, I'll be careful."

Heena was on the phone, updating someone on our arrival, and I quickly sent a message to my mom before gazing out the window.

The sky was crystal clear, without a cloud in sight. The intense sunlight made me a tad worried, but it undeniably gave the strong sense of summer.

Besides family trips, I hadn’t traveled this far, so there was a tinge of anxiety.

"The weather is fantastic," Heena remarked.

"Wow, you’re right. It’s lucky, considering there was a 10% chance of rain. If it had rained..."

"What would you have done?"

"I would've probably sat down on the ground and cried."

"...I kind of want to see that now."

Why would she want to see that?

Anyway, now wasn’t the time for such minor worries. I had limited time to enjoy the day with Heena.

Our taxi wound its way around a large lake before stopping in front of a hotel. It wasn’t a long distance from the terminal, but carrying our bags in this heat would have been challenging, so taking the taxi had been a wise choice. We arrived much faster than expected.

We got out of the taxi and, hand in hand with Heena, entered the hotel. With nervous excitement, I mentally ran through the check-in procedures we had discussed, and we approached the hotel front desk.

A neatly dressed employee greeted us warmly, "Thank you for choosing our hotel. How may I assist you?"

"We’re here to check in."

I showed them the reservation details on my phone.

"Just one moment, please... Ah, Mr. Han Yeonho and Ms. Lee Heena, correct?"

"Yes."

"May I please see some identification?"

"Of course."

Anticipating this, both Heena and I promptly presented our student IDs. Since we were minors and the reservation was made by our parents, a more thorough verification was required.

After a brief examination and some checks on the computer, the employee returned our IDs with a smile.

"Thank you. Your room is 506, and here's the key card. Additionally," they proceeded to inform us about the facilities, off-limit areas, and various other details. Only after this could we head to our reserved room.

A few steps away from the front desk, I finally let out a sigh of relief.

"You did well."

"Whew... I’m glad there were no issues."

"You’ll get used to it! We’ll be traveling to many places together in the future, right?"

"...That's true."

I honestly had no idea about the future, but if things remained smooth between us, there would indeed be many more trips like this.

We took the elevator to the fifth floor, and the corridor greeted us with its soft carpeting. After a few more steps, room 506 appeared before us.

With a beep, the door unlocked when I placed the key card against it. Inside the pristine room were two neatly arranged beds side by side.

Seeing them brought a mix of disappointment and relief. I was glad there were two beds since we didn’t plan on anything intimate. Yet, a small part of me felt a hint of regret at the very sight.

Heena took a quick tour of the room before placing her suitcase in a corner and then looked at me.

"Should we just leave our stuff and head out?"

"Yeah. There's a changing room over there, so I think we should grab our swimsuits and go."

"I'll change into something more suitable and then head out."

Come to think of it, we were in jeans. Changing out of these at a beach changing room would likely be a hassle.

"Wait a sec, I'll quickly change in the bathroom and head out first. I want to wear shorts."

With that said, I took out sandals, a swimsuit, and shorts from my sports bag and went to the bathroom. The bathroom was impressively clean and more spacious than I had anticipated.

Though I wasn’t sure if we’d use it, there was also a bathtub.

After swiftly changing into my shorts, I noticed Heena had started to unpack some of her belongings.

"Heena, I'll be by the door, so take your time coming out."

"I'll be out in a bit!"

As I heard her reply and stepped outside, I consciously avoided picturing Heena changing inside and put a waterproof case on my phone.

This was essential. Ever since I dropped my phone in the water during a family trip to a valley a couple of years ago, I'd always made sure to use it when near water.

After waiting for a moment, the door opened, and Heena emerged.

"Sorry, made you wait, didn't I?"

She stepped out with an eco-bag draped over her shoulder, wearing black shorts and a white tee with black stripes. Her outfit seemed more coordinated than my simple attire.

She did mention she'd brought several outfits; I wonder if she plans to change often.

She confirmed the door was locked and stashed the card key into her bag, linking her arm with mine.

The nearest beach was a mere five-minute walk. I'd heard the convenience was one reason this hotel was on the pricier side.

Walking closely together, we exited the hotel.

Upon reaching the beach, we quickly separated to change into our swimsuits. I had already worn my swimwear under my clothes, so I was ready in a mere 30 seconds, promptly renting a parasol.

I usually don't care about having a parasol, but I thought it'd be nice to have one for Heena, especially with today's intense sunlight.

I took the ticket I received from the rental booth to our designated spot. Around us were a few families scattered here and there.

Relishing the warmth of the sandy ground, I spread out the picnic mat I had brought and sat down, sending Heena our location through a message.

The picnic mat was borrowed from my sister, Yoonjung. It was made of cloth, which made it lightweight and handy. It's also easier to find a spot with it laid out, she had mentioned.

Lost in thought, staring at the sea, my heart began to race. Memories of Heena in her swimsuit flashed through my mind.

A few moments later, occasionally glancing towards the changing rooms, I noticed Heena approaching from afar.

She was wearing that bikini, which was etched faintly in my memory, covered with a pareo and a white beach cardigan.

A strange feeling pinched my nose, not exactly of being moved but rather like I was about to sneeze.

Seeing her on the beach felt even more overwhelming than the glimpse I caught in the fitting room.

It wasn't the covered parts but her exposed, porcelain skin that caught my attention.

"You got a parasol?"

"Yeah, the sun's pretty strong today."

As she spoke, she came closer and stood right in front of where I was seated. I responded nervously, unable to divert my gaze. Her slight smile hinted that she found my reaction amusing, and she playfully leaned forward, accentuating her chest.

"Well, how do I look?"

"...You look beautiful."

"Keep your eyes on me~"

"It's hard to…"

It was easier when she was just standing, but with her leaning in like that, it was hard to maintain direct eye contact.

Still, I wasn’t looking away entirely. I just shifted my gaze slightly to the side. Then, Heena chuckled, placing her eco-bag on the ground, and rummaged through it.

Soon, she held something in her hand.

Wait, could it be?

"Yeonho?"

"Hm... Yeah?"

"Can you apply this? My skin's sensitive, so─"

With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Heena handed me the sunscreen.

"I need it applied everywhere."

"....Is that so?"

Without another word, she immediately lay down on the picnic mat, waiting.

For a moment, I was stunned, struggling to process the situation. Was I really about to apply sunscreen on her back?

With my bare hands?

"Come on~"

Urged by her voice, I hesitated only briefly before deciding how to proceed.

It seemed better to squeeze the sunscreen directly onto her back rather than onto my hand first.

I carefully applied dollops of sunscreen – about the size of my thumb – onto her shoulder blades and lower back. Perhaps I applied a bit too generously, but that's a worry for another moment.

"Ugh..."

Maybe it's the chill of the sunscreen, but I hear a faint moan. Suddenly, I find myself flustered.

Ignoring that feeling, I hesitantly placed my hand on Heena's shoulder.

Her skin is so clear, without a single blemish.

Up to now, the only bare skin of Heena's that I had touched was her hands, arms, and cheeks.

For the first time, my hand was touching parts of her that weren't covered by clothes.

Spreading the dollop of sunscreen on her, I was taken aback by the softness of her skin.

Even though we held hands before, her skin felt worlds apart from mine. Of course, there's the inherent difference between men and women.

I've held my sister Yoonjung's wrist a couple of times, but the sensation felt completely different from that.

However, as I spread the sunscreen on her shoulders and back, I began to feel more comfortable. I appreciated how Heena trusted me with her body, and it made her feel even more like my girlfriend.

I continued down, applying sunscreen all the way to her slender waist. To exaggerate a bit, I felt like I could nearly wrap my hands around it.

"Phew..."

Sure, it had been less than 5 minutes, and all I did was apply sunscreen, but I straightened my back and exhaled.

This beach trip with my girlfriend was beyond expectations. To think that such a remarkable event would unfold right after arriving.

Basking in that brief sense of accomplishment and happiness, I heard her voice.

"Yeonho."

My girlfriend.

"You haven’t applied it to my legs yet."

She coyly lifted her leg to make her point.

Seeing that, I froze. I never thought she'd ask me to apply it there, considering she could do it herself.

"Can't you do that part on your own?"

I tentatively pushed back, but then she said in a softening tone,

"I'd like it if Yeonho did it..."

Unable to resist her earnest request, I obediently squeezed a dollop of sunscreen for her thighs and calves.

"Oh, it's cold-"

"…I'm applying it now."

"Mmm~ Thank you~"

I wanted to confidently start with her thighs, but I hesitated and began with her calves.

The sensation was pleasant here too, and I managed to apply the sunscreen without any hidden intentions.

But then...

I took a deep breath as my hands slowly moved upwards.

With the slightly sticky feel of the sunscreen, the flesh on her thighs, fuller compared to her calves, was palpable.

Thinking it would be better to finish quickly rather than prolonging the process, I diligently spread the sunscreen.

However, when my hands almost reached the top of her thighs, right below her buttocks,

"Ah!"

Her sharp gasp made me instinctively pull away.

No way, I've covered all of it!

I pulled back my hand in surprise, and with an almost comical expression, I looked at Heena, as if asking for forgiveness. She slightly turned her head, and with playful eyes, she responded using only her lips,

'Every nook and cranny.'

Seeing that, I took a deep breath and reached out again.

Towards that slightly exposed area below her swimsuit, what some call the underbutt.

-The moment I touched it, it almost felt like I could hear a squishy sound. It was a softness different from her thighs, something like the fluffiness of cotton candy.

I spread the sunscreen I had on my hand and quickly pulled away.

Yet, even after letting go, the sensation was so vivid, it felt like I was still touching her.

Amidst the peculiar tension that caused my breaths to come short, Heena began to sit up.

She too, perhaps feeling a bit embarrassed, had a flushed face when she spoke again.

"You'll do the front too, right?"

"........."

Oh my god.
