My Girlfriend Is Very Good to Me-Chapter 62: After Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall

After Christmas, time flew by, marking a slight change in our relationship.

Having spent Christmas at my place, it was decided that I would celebrate the New Year's at Heena's house.

It made sense since my family didn't have any special plans for the New Year. My brother Jeongwoo and his girlfriend had gone out for an overnight trip too.

The only issue was Heena wanting me to sleep in her room. Her mother just laughed, her father tried to dissuade her, and Heeseong, her brother, didn't care and just invited me to play video games with him.

Of course, I chose to play games with Heeseong.

"Do you like my brother more than me? Even after giving you an engagement ring!"

"It's just a couple ring..."

It was a rather uneventful day. I fell asleep in the room while playing games with Heeseong, and the next morning, I had breakfast with Heena's family. They all had to leave for a relative's house later. Surprisingly, I didn't feel as awkward eating at someone else's house as I thought I would.

Spending Christmas at my place brought our families closer, almost like neighbors rather than distant relatives.

It was a good development, but it seemed like Heena's limits were gradually being lifted.

Hmm.

I don't know.

On my birthday in January, I spent the entire day with Heena.

From early morning until late evening.

When she asked if there was anything I wanted her to do, I almost asked for her to fulfill my long-held desire of seeing her in a maid cosplay from Christmas. But the thought of her saying something like, "Please order me around, Master," in that outfit made me worry my ironclad patience would shatter before graduation, so I refrained.

In the end, we agreed that her gift would be a pair of basketball shoes from a sports store.

She chose an expensive pair, and I initially refused, but she insisted, saying, "I bought us an expensive couple ring. I'll be mad if you refuse."

So I gratefully accepted the gift, sweating at her constant reference to it as an engagement ring.

Once Heena's birthday passed, we could legally register our marriage. Still, I hoped she wouldn't bring the marriage registration form on her birthday.

Holding onto that slim hope, I enjoyed our date, strolling around and eating cake together.

Heena, who always took good care of me, was even more attentive that day, treating me as delicately as if she were caring for a baby.

February, Valentine's Day and Heena's birthday.

Heena had preempted me from buying a gift a few days earlier.

Instead of a gift, she asked me to do something she wanted. She was still mindful of the expensive couple ring, not the engagement ring, that I had given her.

And when I agreed, she actually brought a marriage registration form.

I was genuinely surprised.

Fortunately, Heena wasn't serious and just wanted to keep a filled-out form as a keepsake, so I wrote on it without feeling burdened.

Filling out the marriage form was somewhat amusing, thinking, "So this is what you use when you get married."

Then, in true Heena fashion:

"Can you see this?"

"It looks like melted chocolate. Is this like the inside of a fondant au chocolat?"

"Maybe? It's my Valentine's Day gift for you."

"It looks delicious! Do I just scoop it up with that stick?"

"No, watch this."

With that, she dipped a wooden stick into the chocolate and smeared it on her cheek.

At that moment, I couldn't help but realize what Heena wanted.

Memories of Pepero Day came flooding back.

"You'll eat the chocolate, right?"

With a bashful smile, my girlfriend coated her tongue in chocolate.

Obliging Heena's playful request on her birthday, I gently licked her face like a puppy.

Starting from her cheeks to her nose and lips, and even dabbing some on her fingers.

And then:

"Yeonho, this side too, please!"

"That's a bit..."

"You promised to do whatever I want today~"

She had cleverly dressed down in loose clothing and a slightly loose T-shirt. She pulled down her shirt collar a bit, revealing her straight collarbone, and waited with anticipation in her eyes after smearing it with chocolate.

"Can we choose a different spot?"

"Hmm, then you pick."

I hid my inner turmoil between patience and desire and refused.

She then let out a sly smile, slightly lifting the bottom of her T-shirt, revealing her pale stomach.

Surely not.

"Here or my stomach. Which do you prefer?"

"......"

"I'm fine with both."

She coaxed me into making a choice with her slightly flushed face and pleading eyes. I realized resisting further was futile.

So, I complied and moved closer to the spot Heena initially wanted.

-Lick

"Ah!"

Ignoring Heena's moans, I completed my mission.

We spent the home date eating 'choco-Heena,' and as we were about to part, Heena hugged me tightly and whispered in my ear.

"You know there's only one year left, right?"

Of course.

I'm waiting for that day too, so don't worry.

But please, don't test my patience anymore..?

March 14th, White Day.

School had already started, so we didn't have much time to meet.

After school, Heena told me to bring just a few of her favorite candies instead of expensive ones. So I did.

-Rustle

"Shall we start with this one?"

Saying so, she popped a candy into my mouth and smiled at me.

After a moment, Heena tapped her lips and opened her mouth.

"Give me a candy gift."

Having dated Heena for more than just a day or two, I instantly knew the mischievous implication behind her words.

In a playful mood, I pretended to unwrap a new candy instead of following her hint.

"Uuung!"

Heena grabbed my hand and shook her head playfully. Her cute gesture made me smile, and then I gently pulled her closer and our lips met.

I pushed the candy in my mouth with my tongue into hers and then pulled away.

We had kissed many times and shared countless things, but transferring something from my mouth to hers was a first. It felt a little risqu.

"This is tasty~ What shall we eat next?"

She brightly smiled, choosing the next candy. What more could I say to her?

So, we spent the whole day exchanging candy kisses and then parted. After all, taking a day off from studying in my third year of high school isn't too bad.

Apart from these special occasions, I was truly focused on my studies. As each day passed, my desire to attend the same college as Heena grew stronger.

I even reduced my gaming time, burying my head in textbooks and workbooks every day. I was so diligent that Heena and my family started worrying about me.

Because of this, we ended up having a second family gathering this summer, following Christmas.

Our family and Heena's family decided to go to the beach together.

Initially, I planned to stay and study, but I couldn't resist Heena's pleading to join them for just two days.

If I had known Heena was going, I wouldn't have refused in the first place. I thought it was just a trip with my family.

Though I was serious about my studies, all thoughts of studying vanished as soon as we all gathered at the sea.

"Han Yeonho! Let's go on the banana boat!"

"Oh, thanks, Heeseong hyung! Can't say no to a free ride!"

"He's so good at getting a free ride. Ha, I'll let it slide since he's a senior."

Surprisingly, Heeseong hyung regularly attended these gatherings. He had a girlfriend and even made separate travel plans, but as soon as this gathering was confirmed, he dropped everything to join us.

Once, Heena and I talked about him.

"He really enjoys hanging out with you. I think he likes you."

"Sshh.. Should I be happy about this? It's kind of creepy..."

"Even if he's nice to you, don't fall for him. Got it?"

"Of course, obviously..."

Leaving Heena's chilling comment aside, I had nothing to say since he found hanging out with me fun. I quite liked Heeseong hyung too. The more I got to know him, the more interesting he became.

As our interactions increased, it felt more like meeting relatives.

Not just because of mine and Heena's relationship.

"What shall we do for dinner? How about some drinks at a sashimi restaurant?"

"Sounds good."

Uncle and Dad became drinking buddies, always looking for alcohol whenever they met. Apparently, they had similar tastes in alcohol and side dishes.

"Jeongwoo is still too young for this.."

"Oh, why not send him early? It used to be trendy, you know~ Like those young brides!"

"I don't mind, but I feel a little bad."

"Really? Then don't worry about Yeonho~ Heena says she'll take care of him."

"Maybe I should teach her some cooking."

And now, Aunt and Mom were comfortable enough to speak informally with each other. They were of similar ages and both extroverted, so they seemed to get along well. Although my mom looks cool and chic, she surprisingly enjoys wandering around and chatting with people.

As we became closer, we even started going on beach trips together. It seemed like an unavoidable situation now.

Lost in these thoughts, I watched Heeseong hyung heading off to rent a boat when Heena clung to my arm.

I was wearing last year's swimsuit since I was dragged out from my study routine.

"I wanted to buy a new swimsuit."

"Hey, it's pretty. Reminds me of last year."

Was that already a year ago?

Due to Heena's plot(?), we ended up sharing a room and I applied sunscreen on her at the beach.

Ah, I shouldn't have remembered that.

My body reacted.

"Will you put sunscreen on me this time too?"

"No."

"Why not!!"

"I'll do it next year. As much as you want, whenever you want."

"...Is that a promise?"

Her compliance to my firm decision about next year surprised me.

Next year? Even if she tells me not to, I'd still do it.

Not much time left. It would be a waste of all this time if I couldn't wait another six months.

With that resolve in mind, I turned to look at Heena. Under the sunlight, her skin was shining, flawlessly white and smooth.

Ah, maybe I should just apply the sunscreen.

After summer, I dove back into studying without any distractions, half-resigned to not catching up with Heena.

My grades improved significantly, but Heena's were top-tier even among the elites. Always good, her scores continued to climb.

Seeing her miss only two questions in all subjects in the September mock exam made me realize I had to step up.

Heena too was pondering her college choices. If I managed to get into a reasonably good university, she was considering joining me there on a scholarship.

Or maybe she would look in a different direction.

Honestly, I did have a romantic notion about being a campus couple at the same university. I wanted it if possible, but I didn't want to limit Heena's potential or future for that.

Moreover, the fact that I had even managed to aim for the universities I was now considering was enough reason to be endlessly grateful to Heena.

I was so surprised by my own grade improvement after starting to study with Heena last year.

Mom even tried to pay Heena for tutoring me.

But Heena:

"No, thank you, ma'am. I'm just helping my husb... I mean, boyfriend with his studies."

"You did that on purpose, right?"

"It was a slip of the tongue."

She deftly handled it like that.

So we didn't end up paying her, but Mom gave me a study-related card. Heena and I were supposed to use it for anything study-related.

Even Heena seemed comfortable using it, perhaps unable to refuse this gesture.

So with Heena's and everyone else's help...

I reduced dating and hanging out with friends to a minimum, focusing solely on studying. And like that, a year went by.

Finally, the college entrance exam was just around the corner.

Author's Note:

Although I mentioned a time machine, it's basically skipping the senior year of high school. This chapter wraps up that phase.

I could have expanded on the details of the intermediate events, but many would have been repetitive, and it would have unnecessarily increased the length.

Instead, I decided to cover only the essential events briefly like this, and reserve the rest of what I wanted to write for their adult years!

To my dear readers, thank you for enjoying this! I love you all!
