＜Episode 53＞ Sea Date 3
When I went out, there was a changing room near the beach.
“Let’s change each other and meet in front.”
“okay.”
After agreeing to Si-eun’s words, I headed to the men’s locker room.
There weren’t many people. A man is allowed to jump into the sea in a T-shirt and shorts. Naturally, there were few visitors.
There was nothing to wait, so I decided to quickly finish undressing and leave.
I stand in front of the dressing room and wait for Si-eun.
Come to think of it, it’s not the first time I’ve seen Si-eun in a swimsuit. Si-eun is usually in a good shape, but not very revealing. Maybe it’s the influence of wearing clothes that have a big body. How does Si-eun feel in revealing clothes?
We passed the time with little expectations.
Not long after, someone tapped me from behind.
“I have changed everything.”
As she turned her head to the muttering voice, there was Si-eun with her cheeks slightly red.
He leans his back and lowers his head slightly and looks up at me, crouching. It looked very shameful.
I inhaled for a moment.
White and blue tops and bottoms that look like cotton hot pants. Large curves are clearly drawn over the clothes. The navel is exposed through the gap between the top and bottom, and the eyes are naturally deprived of it.
As she opened her mouth and stared blankly at Si-eun, Si-eun withdrew her body.
“… … Don’t stare too hard and tell me how you feel.”
“Uh, uhm.”
Scratching the nape of my neck, I searched for the right words.
“I think it’s attractive.”
“… … Other than that?”
“uh? Not this?”
Is it still not enough?
“Well, well. I feel like a celebrity.”
It wasn’t that it wasn’t, but I could clearly feel the eyes of the people around me passing by. A woman with the same appearance as Si-eun is standing there dressed like this. It wouldn’t be strange if I misunderstood it for a TV shoot.
Si-eun laughed softly.
“Is that so?”
“yes. okay.”
He nodded his head broadly.
To compliment Si-eun, my vocabulary was very poor. It’s just a pity that I’m exposed to programming languages more often than Korean.
Still, this compliment seemed to be satisfactory. Si-eun smiled and came close enough to touch her arms.
“Okay. Let’s go.”
Saying that, the corners of Si-eun’s lips were raised.
“Do you know how to swim?”
When the price of water was in front of you, Si-eun asked:
answered honestly.
“Of course.”
“really?”
“Of course I can’t.”
“I knew it.”
Si-eun looked at me with an absurd gaze.
He lacks motor skills and doesn’t like to tease his body. If it was a simple physical exercise such as running, I would go somewhere in the middle, but it was a gem that needed practice like swimming.
anyway what
“Anyway, the beach is a place to play or play in the water.”
Si-eun raised her eyebrows at my words.
“However, I came to the sea. Shouldn’t we pretend to be swimming?”
“If you’re just going to pretend to do it, why don’t you do it?”
Si-eun shook her head.
“You need at least one exercise you know how to do to be healthy. You always work on the computer, so you should learn some exercise for your health.”
“is it?”
“furthermore.”
Saying that, Si-eun made a fat face.
“We might go to the pool together later… … . It is better to learn it now, even for that time.”
“Well.”
You’re dating right now, but are you thinking about dating in the future? Also, Si-eun has a very planned personality. … … Or maybe there are many places you want to go to play with me.
In any case, I couldn’t resist trying to say this. Let’s do whatever Si-eun wants. At least it wasn’t like that today.
“okay.”
After receiving a positive response, Si-eun turned her back.
“Then let’s go over there. Because there are few people there.”
Si-eun started walking without looking back. I also decided to follow along.
Is it because it’s still the end of June? Or is it because it’s a weekday afternoon? Surprisingly, there were not many people.
However, if you want to even swim, it would be better if there were no people nearby. As Si-eun said, when we arrived at the outskirts, there seemed to be few people around.
Si-eun looked around and turned her head again to meet her eyes.
“Shall I go in?”
“yes.”
Hearing my answer, Si-eun held out her hand.
As she was about to stare at that hand, Si-eun spoke in a voice that seemed somewhat uncomfortable.
“what are you doing? Don’t hold hands.”
“Oh, did you mean to catch me?”
“Then what?”
well I guess that’s all there is to it.
But I just can’t swim, and it doesn’t go off as soon as I get into the water. He was taller than Si-eun, so it was probably not at the level where Si-eun had to hold her hand.
But, well, I’m telling you to catch it.
He reached out and took Si-eun’s hand.
When their fingers touched, the feeling of Si-eun’s trembling passed over. It seems that Si-eun was not yet used to being in touch with me.
I’ve already held hands, hugged and even kissed. For some reason, I am very careful about skinship. Because of that, Si-eun and I were progressing slowly.
Would it be better to act a little longer and not measure like I did in the past?
After that, Si-eun went into the sea as soon as she was pulled.
Starting with the feet, ankles, knees, calves, waist… … . As the water deepened and the water reached the bottom of the boat, Si-eun held out her opposite hand. This time, without hesitation, I took her hand.
Si-eun said expressionlessly.
“Come on, I’ll catch you. Now think of it.”
“It’s called ‘can’t swim’ when you can’t do that.”
“You’re holding it. I’m telling you to give it a try.”
Well, yes. You don’t have to worry about falling out. Actually, I didn’t have any concerns about it. I was only concerned about my motor nerves.
Then let’s try
“okay.”
After answering that, I lifted my feet from the ground.
At the same time, it was submerged in water.
Thanks to Si-eun pulling her hand, I got out of the water again not long after.
Si-eun, who could see the water dripping down, was staring at me with a cold face.
“Isn’t that a lack of motor nerves?”
“sorry.”
As I bowed my head in disappointment and answered, I heard Si-eun’s laughter.
“Well, nothing to be sorry about.”
Si-eun clasped my hand and continued.
“Anyway, I’ll hold on to it. Try again.”
“Ugh.”
well I don’t think it’s useless to repeat things that shouldn’t be done.
As she paused at that thought, Si-eun released one of her hands. Then he put his hand gently on my stomach.
Unconsciously, my body twitched at the sudden touch.
“I’m trying to grab hold of the boat and listen. Why are you so surprised?”
“Oh, no.”
Seeing me smiling bitterly, Si-eun raised the corners of her lips.
“I have my own abs.”
I started fiddling with my stomach.
“It tickles.”
“Be patient. It’s unavoidable if you want to learn to swim.”
“It’s unavoidable for you to touch my stomach.”
“therefore? no?”
“… … no.”
what can i say
Anyway, doing this.
From this point on, for a long time, I learned to swim with teacher Si-eun.
◎
As the sun began to set, we went out to land.
I thought we would splash water on each other and play like any other couple. For some reason, today’s Si-eun looked more like a swimming instructor than a girlfriend. Because I learned so much in Sparta, my body is already sore.
Thanks to the place and the clothes, there were various physical contact. In the end, I couldn’t do something like a lover straight away. From Si-eun’s point of view, I thought it would not have been very pleasant.
Let me tell you with such a concern.
“It was fun?”
Si-eun blinked her eyes for a moment, then replied as if she was asking something obvious.
“Of course it was fun.”
“really?”
“okay.”
Si-eun nodded her head vigorously.
If it was normal, it would have been fun, but ‘it’s just that.’ I would have given you an answer. At times like this, you’re telling the truth again. Truly, a woman’s heart is uncontrollable.
Si-eun said as she stepped onto the sandy beach with her eyes closed.
“I was able to do something with you like this, an experience I’ve never had in my life. I can’t be happy.”
With those words, Si-eun smirked and looked at me.
The happy expression on his face seemed to be singing a hum.
It’s an experience I’ve never had in my life.
Neither Si-eun nor Si-eun had a rich family while growing up. I’ve never been on a family trip. Places such as amusement parks and the sea were all I went to during school excursions.
Besides, Si-eun lost her father early and went through difficult times. I’ve never been to a place like this before.
Thinking about it that way, I felt rather sorry.
I should have made it more enjoyable. Isn’t it because I couldn’t exercise, so I ended up teaching him only swimming all day?
said in a soft voice.
“For the next time we go to the sea or the pool. I will practice swimming hard.”
As if I had promised myself, Si-eun looked up at me.
“Without going out. How are you going to practice?”
“What… … . Watching YouTube?”
“You learned last time that watching YouTube doesn’t solve the problem.”
Well, it was. Didn’t you refer to YouTube when you cooked Si-eun? Then, strangely, a monster came out. It was difficult to learn something just from video.
Only vain coughs flow out of my shy heart.
Towards me like that, Si-eun took one step closer.
“So.”
He raised his head and looked at me sternly.
“Next time, I will teach you.”
Si-eun’s clean smile.
Seeing that smile, I decided to change my mind.
Didn’t you decide to do whatever Si-eun wants today? I don’t know if Si-eun really enjoyed it or if she enjoyed it 100%. If you want to be with me, it might be the right answer.
So I smiled and answered Si-eun.
“yes. thank you.”
Si-eun didn’t even blink her eyes at me for a short time.
“huh.”
He let out a noise and shook his head.
Why are you hiding your true feelings again? I really don’t know what a woman’s heart is… … .
After that, after changing clothes and eating at a nearby sushi restaurant, we decided to take a walk around the surrounding streets.
As it is a popular tourist destination, the surrounding area was crowded with street vendors, food stalls, and shops selling all kinds of food. There were many people. On the contrary, it felt more crowded than the beach.
“there.”
Si-eun spoke next to him.
“yes? why?”
“Do you not want to eat that?”
“that?”
When I moved my sight along Si-eun’s index finger, there was a street vendor selling seed hotteok.
I remember hearing it. Hotteok is hotteok, but it was said that it is a food with seeds inside.
You’ve just eaten a full meal and then you’re looking for a snack. It’s a cheesy look. I would like to maintain my body while doing this, but this craving for food may be the source of my body.
Si-eun, who stood in front of the stall with slow steps, was looking at Hotteok with her eyes twinkling.
I quickly followed and pulled out two bills from my wallet.
“Hey, give me a hotteok.”
“yes~”
The uncle gave the change with a cheerful voice.
As soon as I put it in my pocket and waited, the uncle immediately put hot hotteok in an envelope.
“I am here~”
“thank you.”
He bowed his head to express his gratitude and accepted the hotteok.
Then, he handed it to Si-eun.
“ruler.”
I was so full that I didn’t think I could go in any more. Since Si-eun said he wanted to eat, I thought I’d hand it all over to Si-eun.
That’s what it meant, but Si-eun seemed to have misunderstood.
Si-eun, who was taking turns looking at hotteok with me, shook her body as if surprised.
He grabbed his long, fluttering hair by his ear, trimmed it, opened his small mouth, and asked.
“… … uh?”
A muffled sound came from the unexpected action.
Si-eun, who chewed and swallowed hotteok, looked at me and tilted her head. There was a thick layer of sugar near the aegyo shop.
“what’s the matter?”
I guess I still haven’t figured out the intention.
He smiled bitterly and said the answer.
“no. I meant to take it all. Oh, I don’t mean to.”
“what. Was it like that?”
Then Si-eun took the hotteok from my hand as if she didn’t care.
“It’s hot, so be careful.”
“I am not a child. You don’t have to say that.”
Inflate the ball as if sprained.
well Seeing that he has sugar on his lips, he seems like a child.
It’s very cute, but I can’t even walk like this. As long as it was stained, I had to wipe it off.
I picked up a piece of tissue from the stall. Then he folded it well and reached out towards Si-eun’s cheek.
Si-eun shrugged as she gently stroked the sugar-stained spot. With the eyes wide open.
“Why, why?”
“No, that’s because there’s sugar here.”
After answering, I threw the tissue in the trash can next to it.
Si-eun touched her cheek with her hand, not holding the hotteok. He nodded his head to see if there was any remaining stickiness. Did you think I was lying?
Soon, Si-eun chuckled.
“Aren’t you supposed to wash it with your hands at times like this?”
“It’s uncomfortable if your fingers are sticky while walking.”
It seemed like an irrefutable objection. Si-eun closed her mouth with a prickly face as if dissatisfied, and then bit the hotteok.
The movement of the ball every time you chew reminds me of a hamster. It felt so cute to think that way, so I watched Si-eun quietly.
Towards me, Si-eun held out the hotteok she was eating.
“ruler.”
“… … yes?”
“Did you not want to eat hotteok?”
“Hotteok?”
It seems that Si-eun misunderstood the meaning of the eyes. I’m not in the mood today in many ways. Maybe it’s because Si-eun’s heart is excited today.
I was about to tell him that it wasn’t, but Si-eun hit the player.
“it’s okay. You can eat it. I am type A and you are type AB.”
Even though his name is an engineering student, he says everything he would have said when he was in elementary school.
“It’s not like that.”
“then?”
“I don’t want to eat much. I’m full.”
To be honest, Si-eun’s eyes were cold. The way he frowned and looked straight at me was even terrifying.
Soon after, Si-eun shoved the hotteok one more time.
“eat.”
“What?”
“It’s delicious, so eat it.”
His gaze was cold.
If I don’t eat it now, there might be something like hotteokbap for dinner tomorrow.
“Come on, ah.”
Si-eun said with eyes like an ultimatum.
I want to feed you like this, what should I do? Today is the day Si-eun wishes. I decided to keep that mindset.
“… … ah.”
As I opened my mouth with a low-pitched sound, Si-eun put the hotteok into my mouth.
After biting it off, he chewed the hotteok that came into his mouth. Sugar and various seeds are chewed, giving it a quite interesting texture. It was sweet and tasted good.
Now Si-eun smiled as if satisfied.
“What do you think? Is it delicious?”
“Well, it’s delicious.”
After snoring at the ambiguous answer, Si-eun asked for the remaining hotteok again.
Also, today’s Si-eun’s mood changes very quickly. It was almost like an elementary school student who went on a picnic.
It was the first time we went out to play together so far, so I was excited. It’s embarrassing to show your heart, so you hide it.
When I thought of that, I laughed.
But if you smile now, Si-eun’s cold eyes will surely come flying.
I just decided to recall the taste of sugar in my mouth.
