When I open my eyes in the morning, Heena is always lying beside , gazing at with a gentle smile. Living with Heena has helped beco less of a heavy sleeper, but it's still rare for to wake up before her.
Thanks to her, I enjoy the incredible luxury of seeing Heena's smiling face first thing every morning.
Usually, waking up brings thoughts of school and starting the day, often accompanied by irritation and a sluggish body. But seeing Heena's face first thing just puts in a good mood.
Is this the power of being born with a perfect face?
"Did our Yeonho sleep well?"
"Mmph..."
Heena speaks to as if soothing a child, while I squint with bleary eyes, still half-asleep. I can't help but let out a small laugh.
Partly because my girlfriend in front of is so beautiful, and partly because her actions are so cute. I wonder if this is really the sa girl who was clinging to last night in just her underwear, like a mischievous fox.
As I lay there with my eyes barely open, just staring at her without speaking, Heena caressed my cheek with one hand and leaned in close.
*Smooch!*
I felt her soft, slightly moist lips on my eyelids. But she didn't stop there. She planted kisses on my cheeks, lips, and even down to my neck before speaking again.
"Aren't you going to get up?"
"...No energy... Can't get up..."
Though her puppy-like affection had already chased away my drowsiness, I whined a bit just for fun. She smiled at my antics, playing along.
"Aww, poor Yeonho has no energy~ What should I do to help?"
"......"
In response to her question, I silently spread my arms wide. Just like last night, she quickly climbed on top of and hugged .
"Did you want to hold ?"
"Yeah... It's nice and warm."
"We should start getting ready soon... But if you say you have no energy, I guess we have no choice~"
Heena started nuzzling her face against my chest, and I lay there holding her tight. The soft pressure of her chest against mine felt so good.
At the sa ti, mories of last night flashed through my mind. I wished she would cuddle in her underwear again. It was hard to control my lower half, but it felt amazing.
Well, sumr break is coming soon, so I'll probably get to experience sothing similar at the beach. To be honest, swimsuits feel better to hug than underwear because of their softer material. Plus, underwear feels a bit too risqué.
"Hehehe... Should we just skip school today? I want to stay like this..."
"No, we can't do that. I'll get up."
In response to her words, which were clearly half-serious, I sat up while still holding Heena. Attendance was important. I needed to maintain it properly if I wanted to go to the sa high school as Heena.
"Should we shower together? Want to wash you?"
"Let's not start that in the morning..."
"Then is it okay at night? Will you take a bath with after so long?"
"Not possible."
But it might be possible next year.
I'm reaching my limit of holding back.

"We're heading out!"
"We're off~"
As if we'd been one family from the start, we eat breakfast together, wash up, change into our uniforms in Heena's room, and head off to school.
It's not just uniforms; about three-quarters of the drawers in Heena's room are filled with my clothes. There's even so in Heeseong hyung's room because there's not enough space.
For reference, over half the drawers in my room are filled with Heena's clothes.
It's quite an unusual situation, even though we've been dating since we were young. From Uncle and Auntie's perspective, a boy is essentially living in their daughter's room.
Of course, we also stay at my house every week and a half or so.
I'm just grateful they allow us to live like this. Heena's stubbornness played a part, but now they treat almost like a son.
"Do we have a lot of moving classes today?"
"Yeah... It'll be hard to see each other..."
"We can et at lunch. I'll wait for you in your classroom. Let's go to the cafeteria together."
We chat about trivial things as we walk hand-in-hand to school. It's only three bus stops to the middle school, but we never let go.
We held hands until right before first period started, in my classroom rather than Heena's. Surprisingly, Heena was a bit of an outsider in her own class.
When she was in college, Heena was just as sociable as . That part of her personality hasn't gone anywhere, so if she wanted to, she could easily make friends with her classmates. But it seems like she doesn't want to.
She interacts with them minimally but doesn't try to beco close friends. It can't be helped. Since she's always by my side, when we're in different classes, she actually becos closer to my classmates.
As a result, she naturally grows distant from her own classmates. Plus, Heena never goes out without anyway.
After the first four periods ended and we finished lunch in the cafeteria...
"Heena, it's almost ti..."
"One more minute is fine~"
"Well... I guess it's okay since your class is right next door."
Even as lunch break was ending, Heena didn't return to her classroom, instead sitting in the seat next to mine.
It's not like she was doing anything special. I was just lying with my head on the desk, idly playing with Heena's hair, while she stroked my head.
Sotis I go out to play basketball with friends, but mostly we spend ti like this. Our classmates are so used to seeing us like this that they treat it as normal, just like in elentary school.
Of course, now that we're older, when it's just us guys, all sorts of questions co up about how far we've gone.
I don't want to share too many details, so I usually brush it off, but they probably think we've done everything by now. It would be weirder if we hadn't, given how close we are.
"Okay, I'm going... See you after fifth period~"
Heena finally returned to her classroom just before the bell rang, her face full of reluctance. Only then could my desk mate, Yoonsung, sit down and talk to as he tapped my shoulder.
"Don't you ever get tired of seeing her every day?"
"How could I get tired of Heena's face?"
"Wow..."
He sighed in amazent at my confident answer. Though he acted exasperated, I'm sure he agreed deep down. It's impossible to get tired of that face.
Even though the bell had rung, the teacher was running a bit late. Taking advantage of this, the girl sitting in front of joined the conversation.
"You guys are so devoted~ I heard you sang a ton of songs for Lee Heena at the noraebang last ti?"
"Oh, you heard about that?"
"I was in the room next to Kim Ji's."
"Lucky you. That's a performance you'd usually have to pay for."
"Seriously... But you do sing well. I thought you were Kim Kyunghoon."
"Why, thank you."
Just like I'm still confident in sports and gaming, I'm equally confident in my singing skills. All those years of frequenting noraebangs in middle and high school before my regression paid off.
Co to think of it, I really did go out a lot back then. Soccer, basketball, PC rooms, noraebangs. The only ti I studied hard for college was in my last year of high school.
"Hey guys! This period is self-study!!"
As we were chatting, the class president, who had gone to check why the teacher was late, returned with good news. Even if the teacher had been here, it probably would have been self-study anyway, given how close we are to final exams and that it was a technology class.
Thanks to this, we could chat more comfortably. It was fifth period, so except for a few students studying, everyone else was napping, making it quiet.
"Aren't you guys going to the swimming pool this sumr? I heard there's a new one opening."
"Ah~ That... What was it called? Hansung Ocean?"
"Yeah, that one. They're advertising like crazy right now."
"I've seen the ads... But we go to the beach every year."
"Really? I'm planning to go with so friends. Kim Ji, , and Suyeon."
"Oh~ If it's good, let know later. A water park might be nice."
"We're going a bit later, so why don't you go first and tell us how it is?"
My ears perked up when the water park ca up.
Heena and I weren't the kind of couple who always needed to plan sothing exciting. We were content just being together, so we hadn't really thought about what to do this sumr. Except for the beach, which we go to every year with our families.
In that sense, the water park they just ntioned seed like a good place for the two of us to visit. It would be nice for skinship too. It's not like we can't be affectionate in front of our families, but we do tend to hold back a bit.
I'm not planning to cross any lines yet, but I'm always up for so clingy affection.
I'm sure Heena would love it too, but I should probably ask her first.
---
"Can't we stay overnight?"
"Miss, our physical age is still underage, so overnight stays are off-limits."
"I'll figure sothing out. Please?"
"I'm telling you, it's not possible..."
"And I'm telling you I'll make it work!"
"No..."
On our way ho after school.
Of course, Heena wouldn't refuse the idea of going on a trip, just the two of us. I had already considered it a done deal when I asked.
But Heena didn't just agree; she took it a step further and started insisting on an overnight stay. Her eyes were blazing with excitent.
I wouldn't mind if it were legally possible, but I didn't want to force it. We sleep together at ho every night anyway. Though I'm sure an overnight stay sowhere else would feel completely different.
After calming down the excited Heena, we agreed on a day trip for now. All that was left was to decide on a date. We had plenty of money.
Neither of us had ever shown a tendency to waste our allowance, and we always brought ho good grades. So if we said we wanted to go on a trip, they'd probably just hand us a credit card.
"Since we'll be going to the beach at the end of sumr break when Dad and your father take their vacation, I guess we'll wear our swimsuits at the water park first?"
"I guess so."
"Great~ I can't wait to go swimsuit shopping~"
"Make sure to bring a beach cover-up too. We don't really go on the rides anyway."
"Because you only want to see the inside?"
"Of course. It's mine, after all."
"Hehehe... That's right! I'm yours!"
Heena was overjoyed at my display of possessiveness. It was a natural reaction for ; I couldn't let just anyone see Heena's bare skin. It's stressful enough at the beach.
We'll be busy preparing for the foreign language high school entrance exams in winter, so this sumr will be our last vacation as middle schoolers.
We spent the whole way ho discussing when would be the best ti to go. As we neared the house, Heena grinned mischievously and made a sly suggestion.
"Should I buy a really sexy bikini this ti?"
"Please go with sothing ordinary."
Please save the sexy ones for next year.
