There were a few fouls at the start, but after about 5 minutes, everyone forgot the little things and got absorbed in the soccer ga. Despite all the talk of jealousy, they're just kids in the end - once they start playing, they forget everything else.
I wasn't just playing along; I genuinely enjoyed myself. If I were still in my adult body playing with kids, it would obviously be boring. But now that I have the sa physical condition as them, it's surprisingly fun.
"Ah, we lost again!"
"Next ti, don't put Han Yeonho and Doltaeng on the sa team! It's so unfair!"
"Alright, alright. I'll team up with Heena next ti, so you guys go ahead."
After about 30 minutes of a short ga, everyone headed back to the classroom. My friends chattered about soccer as they walked back in their own group, while I joined Heena and the other girls at the stands.
"You're really good at soccer~"
"Yeah, aren't you the best in our school?"
"I'm pretty good, I guess."
"Show-off!"
The girls around Heena playfully smacked my arms and back while complinting . It wasn't just my imagination - their actions clearly showed they had a crush on .
I'm not a face genius like Heena, so I don't have overwhelming popularity, but I do have quite a few admirers.
It's because I don't play childish pranks like other boys my age, I'm good at both studies and sports, and while I'm not extrely handso, I'm not bad-looking either.
As I continued chatting with the girls, Heena suddenly linked her arm with mine. At the sa ti, the conversation that had been focused on abruptly stopped, and the other kids subtly moved ahead.
Noticing the change in atmosphere, I slowed down a bit and followed behind the girls, keeping so distance. There were still more than 5 minutes left until lunch break ended, so we weren't in a rush. Besides...
"Must be nice being so popular with the girls?"
After chatting and laughing with the other girls, I always had to soothe Heena's jealousy.
"I am pretty popular, I guess."
"Hmph. If you like it so much, why don't you just go join them?"
"Can I really?"
"No. You'll die if you do."
My girlfriend pouted as she made that deadly threat. Honestly, my popularity was probably nothing compared to Heena's, but I found it adorable when she showed her jealousy like this.
Even when she was jealous, she never actually hurt other girls or tried to control excessively.
No, wait. Isn't sticking to all day, every day, a form of control?
Anyway, Heena didn't really need to worry. Even if the girls showed interest in , they'd never actually confess.
Heena's influence over the girls in our grade was absolute, so they would never do anything to get on her bad side. At most, they'd engage in small talk with a bit of skinship, like earlier.
Even at just 13 years old, these dynamics seed to be ingrained in the girls at a genetic level.
Of course, Heena wouldn't do anything directly, but girls know that once they're pushed out of the group, life becos extrely difficult. So they're careful from the start.
Heena probably knew this too, but she might still feel uneasy. I'd felt the sa way many tis before my regression. You don't doubt your partner's feelings, but you just don't like it.
Heena was frowning her pretty brow, hugging my arm like she was going to crush it. I'd teased her a bit, but I should cheer her up quickly.
After checking if anyone was nearby, I turned to the side and quickly pecked Heena on the lips.
*Chu*
"Eep...!"
Heena's face turned red at my surprise kiss. We kiss over a hundred tis a day, but Heena usually initiates most of them.
Plus, when we're in the mood, we usually do dozens of kisses in one go, so it's almost beco a habit. That's why Heena's flustered reaction when I kiss her unexpectedly like this is so adorable.
I smiled slightly and said playfully:
"Want to do it again?"
"...Yeah. Do it."
Her face still bright red, she let go of my arm completely and stood still with her eyes closed, quietly waiting for my kiss. The slight annoyance from earlier had probably completely vanished from her mind by now.
I held the cheeks of my girlfriend - the cutest girl in the world - and pressed my lips against hers once more.
---
After school ended, we just dropped our bags at ho and went out for a date. Holding hands with Heena, who seed even more excited than usual, probably because she liked my surprise kiss earlier.
"Yeonho! Do you want chicken skewers? Or hotteok?"
"Hmm... Can't we have both?"
"Sure! I'll buy them for you!"
Usually, Heena would stop from eating too much street food, saying it's bad for my health. But today, she was encouraging to eat whatever I wanted.
Her buying doesn't really an much since our allowances are practically shared. Mom often gives my allowance to Heena too. She probably thinks it doesn't matter who she gives it to since we've been together for years.
We bought a hotteok and a chicken skewer each from a food stall and sat on a nearby playground bench.
"Is it good?"
"Mm... Yeah."
"Eat slowly~ You're getting it all over your face."
Heena took just one bite to taste, then spent the rest of the ti taking care of with a handkerchief in hand. My body is small, so my mouth is small too, and I keep getting food around my mouth as I eat.
*Munch munch*
"Geez... Are you going to keep eating like that?"
"I can't help it."
"Can't help it? You..."
Heena glared at after wiping my mouth several tis with the handkerchief. She looked at like that for a mont, then brought her face close and...
"Chu..."
*Lick*
This ti, she pressed her lips against mine and licked around my mouth with her tongue. Her tongue, soft yet slightly rough, left a bit of saliva before pulling away.
She smiled after doing such a cute thing.
"Isn't this what you wanted to do?"
I really hadn't intended that at all. The food around my mouth was genuinely accidental, and it's not like it was the first ti I'd eaten ssily. Heena probably knew that too, but...
"I've been saring food on purpose, waiting for you to do that. I'm disappointed it took you so long, Heena."
"I'm sorry~ I should have noticed earlier!"
"I'll let it slide this ti, but be more careful in the future."
"Okay!"
What does it matter if I'm happy and Heena's cute?
Anyway, we've exchanged our cheesy lines, and we've finished our chicken skewers and hotteok. I stood up from the bench and asked about our next destination.
"What should we do now? The school trip is coming up soon. Want to go shopping?"
"There's not much to buy... Should we go get so underwear? You'll pick mine out for , right?"
"No."
If we were over twenty, I might be able to pick out underwear together, but right now, it's absolutely impossible. I don't even have the confidence to enter a lingerie store with her.
But Heena didn't give up despite my imdiate refusal.
"Why not~ Pick out the ones you like~"
"They're all good. They're all pretty. They're all cute. They're the best."
"You always say that! Then later at ho, I'll try on everything I have, and you'll pick the one that suits best, okay?"
"No."
"Why not!"
I think I chose the wrong topic. What shopping is there to do for an elentary school trip besides buying snacks?
We still sotis secretly bathe together, and thanks to that, I've seen Heena naked and in her underwear countless tis. But even after years, I still can't bring myself to look directly at her.
It's a bit better now, but when we were younger, it felt like I was committing a cri.
Seeing Heena puff up her cheeks in dissatisfaction at my firm refusal, I tried to change the subject. I want to fulfill everything Heena wants as much as possible, but so things are just not possible.
"Don't sulk... How about we take sticker photos? It's been a while."
"Sticker photos?"
Heena's expression brightened a bit at those words. I just threw out the first thing that ca to mind, but surprisingly, she latched onto the idea.
Heena quite likes taking sticker photos. The booth is a sowhat enclosed space, so we can take all sorts of pictures without worrying about other people's gazes.
"Yeah. It's been a while since we've done it. How about we update our kissing photos?"
"Okay! Let's go quickly!"
"Alright, let's go~"
---
After taking sticker photos at a nearby arcade photo booth, we headed back ho.
We enjoy going on dates together, but expressing affection on the streets still makes us conscious of people's gazes.
After taking all sorts of posed photos in the sticker booth, Heena said she wanted to go ho, probably feeling that the skinship in the booth wasn't enough.
Well, we can't be completely free at ho either since the housekeeper is there.
We went into the room and talked on the bed. I sat with my legs stretched out, and Heena sat on my lap facing .
"But during the school trip, we'll have to sleep separately. Will you be okay?"
"No, I won't be okay. I'm going to ask the teacher if we can sleep in the sa room."
"You know that's absolutely not allowed, right? They'd contact our parents right away."
"Then what should I do~ You know I can't sleep alone. I can't fall asleep unless I'm hugging you."
"You can't bear it for just two nights and three days?"
"Nope!"
She knows it's impossible, even though she says that. She's just whining and acting cute out of disappointnt.
In other words, she's just asking for so affection.
I lowered my arms that were around Heena's waist just a little bit, resting them on the upper part of her buttocks. At the sa ti, a deep smile began to play on Heena's lips.
Heena really likes it when my hands get closer to dangerous, sexy areas.
As I gently caressed that area, I pressed my lips to Heena's collarbone, which was right in front of my face.
"I guess I'll have to give you more kisses so you feel like I'm there even when I'm not."
"Mm... If you do that... I might be able to bear it..."
Heena lovingly embraced my head as I kissed her collarbone and neck. I could feel Heena's chest, which had recently started to develop curves, pressing directly against my face.
We continued our skinship like this. Until the housekeeper called us for dinner.
My day starts with comforting Heena.
And ends with comforting Heena until the very last mont.
She's truly an irresistible, clingy girlfriend.
