My Girlfriend Is a Fan of Me

Swoosh.

The sound of the older sister Seo-ha untying the strap of her swimsuit while lying on the sunbed was particularly loud.

“I’m sorry for bothering you.”

“This, this is no big deal.”

With an expression that didn’t look sorry at all, she offered an alluring smile, making me struggle to avoid her gaze and focus only on my back. Her skin was smooth and flawless, like white jade.

Even without the sun reflecting off her, the view was blinding.

And if I dared to glance below, I could see something pushed out awkwardly from under the sunbed… No, better to wrap this up quickly than to entertain that thought.

I steadied my mind and poured some oil from the jar into my hand. A faintly floral, peculiarly sweet scent wafted up.

As I reached out and gently pressed my palm against her back, it happened.

“Ugh…!”

Seo-ha’s shoulders twitched and a short yelp escaped her lips.

What was that? Did I make a mistake?

“Se-Seo-ha, what’s wrong?”

“It was just a little cold. So, um, could you warm it up with your hands and then apply it?”

“Oh.”

So it wasn’t just slathering it on. Realizing my blunder, I hurriedly apologized.

“I’m sorry. I’ve never done this before…”

“Ah… really? Not even with Yeon-joo?”

“Well, I mean, the only times we went to the beach together were when we were kids.”

I had only gone once with my family to the beach when I was in high school and Seo-ha had just become an adult. Since then, we hadn’t traveled together at all.

“I see. So, I’m your first for this, huh?”

“…That sounds a bit weird, but yes.”

Lately, I had been noticing that Seo-ha’s choice of words was becoming risky, and I subtly pointed it out.

However, for some reason, she smiled contentedly, as if she found something happy about it, and flopped back down. I let out a tiny sigh of relief.

At least she wasn’t sitting up, which could have led to a disaster.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Anyway, following Seo-ha’s request, I decided to warm the oil up with my hands before applying it again.

As someone who’s never particularly liked lotion or anything, the slippery feeling of the oil was quite uncomfortable, but I put up with it and reached out once it felt warm enough.

“Is it okay now?”

“Yup, just right.”

She curled her fingers into an “okay” sign while emitting a faint hum and adjusted her position to lie more comfortably.

“By the way, Uju, your hands are pretty big.”

“I mean, we hold hands every day, and you’re just noticing now?”

Out of nowhere, Seo-ha’s critique slipped out, prompting me to unintentionally respond with a slight pout. I had been so flustered by her earlier antics that my composure seemed to evaporate.

“I felt it when I held your hand, but feeling it like this is a different vibe. They’re really solid compared to my hands.”

“Well, I am a man.”

I had heard people say my hands were kind of delicate for a guy, but they still couldn’t compete with a woman’s. Especially with Seo-ha’s exceptionally fair and elegant hands, it would be interesting to observe.

“Man… Right, that’s true.”

“…?”

Seo-ha muttered as if savoring my words, her tone oddly cheerful. If it’s just my imagination, I won’t argue.

“Um… Great. Uju, could you apply it thoroughly down there too?”

“Ah, down there?”

I was already fighting with myself after hearing her occasional short gasps, but knowing she was asking for more didn’t help my predicament.

Considering that I was applying oil around her waist, it was pretty obvious where my hand would end up if I went any lower.

Is she trying to get me killed?

“Just the thighs and calves. I’ll do the front, so could you help me out? Okay?”

“…Okay.”

But with a voice dripping with charm asking like that, I couldn’t refuse. Anyone who did would probably have a serious issue in their brain or somewhere else.

Swish. Swish.

Silently, keeping my mouth shut, I placed my hands on her thighs below and began applying the oil.

This is a real killer vibe.

Especially since her swimsuit had absorbed quite a bit of water, the bottoms were rolled up a bit awkwardly, making the scene behind look precariously precarious.

No matter how many invocations I whispered to myself, my gaze kept getting drawn back. I guess I’m just a male after all.

Swish. Swish.

It almost felt like the sound of the waves was louder as I tried to maintain my zen-like state, stretching down to apply oil on her calves before finally reaching her ankles. I figured that should be good enough that she wouldn’t ask for more.

“Ah, Seo-ha. It’s done.”

I felt even more exhausted than when we were setting up the parasol and sunbeds, wiping the sweat off my forehead unexpectedly while speaking to her.

“Huh? Not yet?”

“…What?”

However, she shook her head, looking a bit flushed, as if something was still lacking.

“But you haven’t applied it to the front. Can I ask you to do that too?”

“…….”

Then, she casually rotated her upper body, presenting a frame that was almost revealing and quite naturally asked me to apply on the front as well.

…At this rate, I’m going to die not from heatstroke, but from a lack of blood flow.

*

Thankfully, it seemed she had only been joking when she asked me to apply oil to the front, as she laughed and quickly took back her words, saying, “Just kidding.”

After that, we had a normal tanning session and played around at the beach for a while longer before heading back to the building for dinner.

Since we weren’t sure if we would be playing tomorrow too, we left the parasol and sunbeds where they were. Seo-ha mentioned that since it was private property, there was no need to worry about someone stealing them.

“Huheh…”

So we headed out to the balcony for a barbecue party, lighting up the grill to get everything ready.

While I was busy preparing, Seo-ha kept smiling at me, which somewhat annoyed me, causing me to blurt out.

“Do you find it that funny to tease me?”

“But seeing Uju flustered is just too cute.”

“Well, of course, I was flustered! I almost thought you were serious.”

I grumbled snarkily while steadfastly lighting the fire and began placing the prepared meat on the heated grill one by one.

Got to do what I have to do. There’s no helping it.

“I’m sorry. But while I’m grilling, I’ll make sure to wrap you up some ssam, so just let me have this once. Okay?”

“If that’s the case… I’ll let it go this time.”

Honestly, I wasn’t furious either, so I nodded, thinking it was worth it to trade off like this.

Seo-ha wrapping up some ssam for me is something I definitely can’t resist.

Sizzle.

By the way, the meat looks amazing. I hope it’s not prepared from Seo-ha’s family.

As it cooked, the enticing aroma wafted up, and my face relaxed involuntarily as the strong scent stimulated my senses.

Seems like someone’s saying you should go for meat when the pressure’s high isn’t wrong.

“Seo-ha, this one’s cooked, so eat it. Eating overly cooked meat isn’t good, you know.”

“Thanks.”

I served Seo-ha some of the first-cooked beef after grilling various types of pork and beef.

The shade was enough to keep it from being as hot as I thought, and more importantly, since we were near the beach, a gentle breeze wafted by, making it surprisingly bearable.

I was a bit concerned about using fire in this weather, but it turned out fine.

“Uju, do you want to dip it in oil or ssamjang?”

“Oily sauce.”

“Okay, say ‘ah~’.”

“Ah~.”

I realized I had gotten quite accustomed to accepting what Seo-ha handed me. How far I’ve come to accept it and ask for dipping sauce without hesitation!

“Is it delicious?”

“Yeah, it’s really good. Seo-ha, eat yours quickly too.”

“Okay, I’ll just grab a bit more for you first. Here, say ‘ah~’.”

“Another one? Ah, ah~.”

I was so flustered after only just swallowing a piece, and in the meantime, Seo-ha wrapped a ssam and offered it to me while I hesitated but still accepted it delicately.

This time it’s pork, right? With scallions, ssamjang, garlic, and chili all mixed together, it created a perfect harmony, leaving me in awe.

Wow, this is it.

“By the way, Seo-ha, aren’t you drinking?”

“Why? Does Uju want to drink?”

“Not really, but… I thought you might want to since it’s that kind of atmosphere.”

I’m not someone who particularly likes alcohol, so with delicious meat in front of me, I don’t crave soju or beer.

But that’s just me; Seo-ha sometimes brings out a bottle of liquor or wine when she spots some mouth-watering snacks at home, so I assumed she would want to drink this time too.

But seeing her just gobble down the meat piqued my curiosity.

“Just. For now, I want to eat this meat properly and later, maybe we can have a drink in our room.”

“In the room?”

“Yeah, it’s been a while since we’ve had drinks together in an intimate setting.”

Ah, that’s true.

Since both of us have been busy with work, we’d often drink where one of us wouldn’t drink at all. Otherwise, we only had a taste of one or two drinks before calling it a night.

“Since today is special, I told you to prepare some good liquor. Let’s have a drink together later at night, okay?”

“I-I’m good with that.”

For a moment, I was mesmerized by the enchanting sight of Seo-ha licking her lips as if they were dry, but quickly shook it off and focused back on the grill.

“Hehe…”

The sound of Seo-ha’s laughter rang out from behind me.

She must be feeling good, almost as if she’s already had a drink, even though none has entered her system yet.

I guess that’s how travel works.
