My Girlfriend Is Very Good to Me

Amidst the laughter of the vacationers around us, Heena and I found ourselves in an odd face-off, sitting across from each other.

Heena, stretching both arms toward me, pleading, "Put some sunscreen on for me."

And me, thinking she could at least apply it to the front herself, mentally retorting, 'Do it yourself.'

"Heena, you must feel embarrassed..."

"No, I don't!"

"Your face is bright red."

"It's because of the heat!"

She denied the evident blush on her face and the heightened tone of her voice.

But, seriously, applying it to the front is a bit...

I mean, if asked whether I wanted to touch or not, of course, I'd want to! But Heena didn't give up there.

"Please~ Will you do it for me?"

She asked with a shyness and a newfound coquettishness I hadn't often seen before.

I sighed audibly. Deep down, I knew I could never win against her - probably not in my entire life.

Resignedly, I picked up the sunscreen.

Seeing this, a glow returned to Heena's face, her arms still stretched out, looking at me expectantly.

I guess she wanted me to apply it while she sat up this time.

I knelt before her and moved in closely, squeezing a generous amount of sunscreen onto her arm, and spread it perhaps a bit more aggressively than necessary.

It was my subtle way of showing defiance, but her face, while reddened, beamed with joy.

Seeing her, a chuckle escaped me.

"Ma'am, do you feel good?"

"Yes! Very good."

"That's good to hear."

"Now, could you do this side too?"

She asked, dropping her arms and straightening her back. Her modest, yet distracting collarbone caught my eye.

Swallowing hard, I squeezed some more sunscreen onto my hand and gently began applying it to her shoulders, gradually moving downwards. I avoided directly touching her swimsuit and moved down, gently holding her waist.

Her slender figure, almost devoid of any excess, was crowned with a cute little navel.

Like caressing a treasure, I carefully stroked her stomach with both hands.

She let out a soft, raspy sigh. For a moment, I thought it was me losing my restraint, but it wasn’t my breath.

Lifting my head, our eyes met - hers, flushed and breathless, clearly excited. I couldn't resist any longer and drew closer.

She flinched slightly but didn’t retreat, letting go of all tension. I gave her a brief kiss on the cheek.

Then, I stood up promptly.

"That's it! Do the rest yourself!"

"...Huh? What? Wait, where are you going?"

"I’m going to dive into the water for a bit!!!"

"Wait!"

Ignoring her desperate calls, I dashed towards the blue sea.

Ahhhhh!!!

The sea water was incredibly cold.

Thanks to that, I was able to talk to Heena with a refreshed mind.

By the time I returned, Heena had already applied sunscreen on her own.

But not completely.

"Shouldn't it be fair if I apply sunscreen on you too?"

She said, with a mischievous smile. I firmly declined and only asked her to apply it on my back.

Only then could we genuinely enjoy our time.

To be honest, there wasn't much for just the two of us to do.

Sitting side by side, feeling the sea breeze...

Splash! Splash!

"Whoa, Hee-Heena! Slow down..!"

"I don’t know how to!"

We played in the shallow waters, splashing each other.

"Cheese~"

"Kimchi~"

"Heena, isn’t it cheese?"

"If you're Korean, it's kimchi... Guess you can't be my girlfriend."

"Fine! From today, it's kimchi for me!"

We took photos at the beach and various spots on the sandy shore.

"I'm a master at building sandcastles."

"Really? I'm good too. How about a penalty for the one whose castle collapses first?"

"Okay, Heena, don’t regret this."

"Let's start now!"

"Ah! My castle is about to collapse!"

"Wait! I'll block it with my body!"

"Heena! Sand on your face... haha, ahahaha!"

"You’re laughing at me after I dove to save it..."

We played silly games in the sand.

"This ice cream place is famous."

"The name's unique. Usually, such places... taste good?"

"Yeah? Ah~ delicious!"

"Is it? Wanna try mine?"

"Yes."

We shared ice cream from a nearby cafe.

Time flew, and evening approached. Usually, after playing for so long with friends, I'd be too tired to move a finger. But with Heena, the mix of activities didn’t wear me out.

We had dinner at a nearby curry restaurant and then cleaned up our spot.

"Let’s meet at the entrance later."

"Okay~"

Heena left first to shower and change. I returned our umbrella token and headed to the communal showers. It wasn't crowded, so I quickly showered and changed.

The cool sea breeze made it slightly chilly in just shorts and a t-shirt, so I sat on a low stone wall.

I figured Heena would take a while, so I turned on my smartphone. The lock screen displayed a photo of us. We were in the sea up to our waists, shivering from the cold, each flashing a peace sign. It was taken just after entering the water, and we looked freezing.

I sent a few photos of our day to my family and a duo shot to my friends, then pocketed the phone.

Ding. I should mute group chat notifications.

Ignoring the envious messages, I muted the chat just as Heena returned.

"Did you forget anything?"

"No, there weren't many people."

"You too? Seems like we timed our trip well."

"Thanks to me?"

"Right. Thanks to my girlfriend."

"...Hehe."

With her relaxed smiling face, we walked together.

Just past 7 in the evening.

Naturally, we had no intention of just lounging around the hotel. We briefly returned to our room, freshened up by washing our hair, and headed back out.

In that short time, Heena had changed her outfit again.

Now, she wore light blue shorts with a U-necked ivory tee, topped with a sheer white cardigan.

It was already her third change for the day. I suspected she had a separate outfit planned for our departure tomorrow.

"All the stuff in your suitcase... was it all just clothes?"

"Yes. Does it look good?"

"Of course, it does."

"I brought them all because I wanted to look pretty for you. Lucky me~"

"You look beautiful, truly."

We walked on, my compliments more genuine and less flustered than before.

Braving the night breeze, after about 20 minutes, we arrived at a market bustling with various stores.

It wasn't quite the food cart area Heena had described before, but the vibe was similar, with many stalls giving off the same feel.

Simply put, it was a place perfectly suited to my tastes.

It wasn't as crowded as the beach, but due to the narrow alleys, we occasionally bumped into others.

Although it was a bit uncomfortable, there was a unique charm to such places that made the experience even more fun.

I took the lead, clearing a path to ensure Heena could walk comfortably, as we explored here and there.

"Heena, should we try that bread? Looks like we can buy individual pieces."

"Let's just get one and share."

"Great! Excuse me~"

When it came to food, Heena was using the card her father gave her, so I found it hard to make the first move. Knowing this, she often took the initiative, suggesting things to try.

After wandering for about 30 minutes and snacking here and there, we left the market. Our stomachs were full, and the narrow space combined with the crowd made it feel hotter, making it hard to stay for too long.

Later, without any particular destination, we strolled around and eventually found ourselves heading towards the beach.

The darkness settled on the sandy shore, with only the soft sound of the incoming waves echoing throughout.

We leisurely walked on the sand, occasionally pausing to take photos when unique landmarks appeared.

Eventually, we settled on a wooden swing we found along the way. It was spacious enough for both of us.

We sat there silently for a while, gazing out at the sea, reflecting on the day.

From booking the room, which had its own set of surprises, I was thankful for Heena taking the lead on this trip.

I still hadn't established a clear boundary in my relationship with Heena.

I pondered how far I could go, how much persistence was acceptable, and where the line was when asking or making a request.

That blurry boundary made it challenging for me to take the lead in our relationship.

While I couldn't discern whether it was Heena's intention, her occasional proactive physical touches made me feel more at ease with her than before.

These interactions built upon one another, and only today did it feel as if I could wholeheartedly accept the truth.

The girl beside me, Heena, is really my girlfriend.
