My Girlfriend Is Very Good to Me-Chapter 44: My Boyfriend Tries So Hard

TL: looloo

Schedule: 4/Week Wed-Sat

That day, I devoted the entire afternoon to placating Heena, who was jealous of my family and gaming time, and then returned home.

While I initially planned to spend the evening together, I accepted my slightly upset girlfriend’s considerate suggestion to meet the next day, knowing I must be very tired.

So, after getting home, I immediately collapsed in bed and experienced a deep sleep until today.

With about two weeks left until the end of the summer vacation, it was a time where we had played enough and gradually decided to study with Heena.

Meeting with my brother Heeseong and sister Yoonjung was pushed towards the end of the vacation due to their part-time job schedules, thankfully giving Heena and me leisurely time to study together.

She would annoyingly text me, expressing how much she missed me.

Becoming friendly with my brother Heeseong, we also decided to sometimes study at Heena's house, not insisting on always using a study café, like in this very moment.

However, today, I was only able to briefly meet Heena's mother. Her father went to work, and after being discharged, brother Heeseong often wasn’t home, meeting with friends instead.

Even her mother, upon seeing me, cheerfully exclaimed something like, "Oh my, oh my! Is that our son-in-law?" before promptly leaving the house for an appointment.

Being assimilated into this household gives me a bit of a frightful feeling.

“Is that workbook okay?”

“Is it? They all seem similar to me.”

“It’s structured well for gradually learning, so it should be perfect for your current level.”

“Now that I hear it, it does seem like it.”

It's not like we did anything particular, being left alone, we really just diligently studied. Day by day, my resolve to attend the same university as Heena was getting stronger, so my motivation was blazing.

Heena, supporting this determination of mine, did her best teaching me and concentrated on the study.

Though we can’t just hold onto our books and study all day, so around 5 in the afternoon, we stopped and cleaned up our spots.

Having eaten breakfast and lunch and immediately coming here, it felt like we studied for about 4-5 hours.

Although we could probably do more, agreeing that any more would drop our concentration and efficiency, we decided to call it a day.

Even though this level of diligence is quite remarkable, having a girlfriend who only ever praises me doesn’t make it entirely believable.

As soon as we cleaned up the small study table, Heena snugly stuck right by my side.

It wouldn’t be bad to stay here and play just the two of us, but I had my own thoughts for today.

I approached first, contemplating what I should do to make Heena feel joy and happiness.

“Heena.”

“Hmm?”

“Wanna go to karaoke?”

“Eh? Karaoke?”

Her eyes widened in surprise and her head tilted at my proposition.

Even without considering much, I thought that taking the initiative to speak up was the priority.

Reflecting upon it, Heena always suggested places for our dates and I merely followed her lead like flowing water. Starting from now, I wanted to change those aspects.

Naturally, I'll go anywhere Heena wants, but maybe I should also be proactive about asking her out on dates from my end.

After all, there are plenty of places I want to visit and things I want to do with Heena.

"Yeah. We’ve never been there together, and I want to hear you sing. How about it? We can be alone there."

Just me asking her out had already brightened her face noticeably, and mentioning a place where we could be alone made her eyes light up even more as she rose from her seat.

"Great! Can you wait outside for a moment? I’ll quickly change my clothes and come out!"

"Okay~"

Knowing how much she loved it when I showed physical affection from my side, I thought that even this small date request would surely make her happy.

After all, each of these little things must be a way to express affection.

"Hmm hmm hmm~"

Heena, arms crossed, is strolling along while humming a cheerful tune.

"You seem happy, huh?"

"Yeah! Yeonho, you rarely suggest where to go first... I haven’t been to karaoke much, but I like going if it's with you."

A heavy sigh.

My suggestion was conscious of such sentiment, yet hearing it from Heena's lips, a pang of guilt pierced through my conscience.

It made me wonder if I've genuinely been too passive all this while. Of course, many times Heena had already planned the place and schedule before I even had a chance to ponder it.

I regarded it all as an excuse.

Awkwardly, I sweep her hair, which is cascading over her shoulder, back and gently squeeze her cheek.

"From now on, if you think of a place you want to go, tell me. I'll go with you anywhere, okay?"

"Uh-huh~ Is that your sweet talk for today?"

"Ah, does it pass?"

"Since it feels good when you touch my cheek, it passes!"

Although she says that, it seemed like caressing wasn’t enough, as Heena rubs her cheek against my hand, and I almost hear what sounds like a purring cat.

The smooth feeling was pleasurable, but I decided to move along before it gets too late and our dinner time becomes awkward.

The place we arrived at was a popular franchise karaoke spot not far from Heena’s house.

I had never visited a karaoke place in this area, but there was one with the same name near our school.

The system would probably be similar.

We paid for an hour and followed the employee to our room.

"Do you want to eat ice cream?"

"The one at the entrance? Isn’t it expensive?"

"No, it's free."

"Really?"

"Yeah. They say they crank up the air conditioning to prevent people from eating too much of it."

That's unlikely, but still.

Heena seemed curious, so I went out and brought back a cup, half chocolate, and half vanilla.

It tasted just like the cheap ice cream we used to eat in front of our elementary school.

After scooping a few bites with the provided disposable spoon, I flung myself into the soft seat, and just as I was about to dial the number of a song I often sang, as usual, I abruptly stopped.

I do enjoy karaoke as much as the next person, but today, more than singing myself, I want to hear Heena sing.

Turning towards Heena with that thought, she had abandoned her ice cream and was already standing right in front of me.

"Why? You want this?"

I handed the karaoke remote to Heena, wondering if she wanted to find a song. Instead of entering a number, she just placed it back on the table.

Then, she took a step forward and climbed onto my lap.

"...Heena?"

"Mm~?"

"Do you... want to sing first?"

"Sing?"

Her expression conveyed that she hadn’t at all anticipated my words, which suggested that singing was, naturally, the thing to do since we were at a karaoke bar.

Why is she reacting like this?

"Did you come here to sing?"

"Well, we're at a karaoke, isn’t singing expected?"

"I thought we came to do this."

-She nibbles eagerly at my lower lip as soon as the words leave my mouth.

No, I certainly didn’t come here wanting to do this?!

I mean, it's nice! It’s great but this isn’t it!

Despite my inner screams, I can't forcibly push aside my kissing girlfriend.

If I did that, she might genuinely cry. Especially Heena.

"Haah─"

Powerless, I gently accept the warm entity trying to breach my lips.

A French kiss, to which I've now somewhat become accustomed.

A moment later, as Heena parts from our kiss, I speak, steadying my breath.

"Sigh... Heena. I really came to sing."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Didn’t I say I wanted to watch you sing?"

"I thought you were just saying that~"

"...Well, that’s possible."

I can’t discern whether that statement is sincere or a jest, but she seems satisfied, moving from my lap to sit beside me.

Is it me who’s weird, or Heena for accepting it so?

I don’t know, but I did get to hear Heena’s singing, anyway.

However.

─Lo↗ve↗ is↘ yours─

Amidst Heena's clear and refreshing voice echoing through the room, traversing the pitches between heaven and hell.

"Kuhuk..."

I can't suppress my laughter.

"......I’m not singing!"

"No, I’m not laughing...Pfft!! Hehehe─"

"Han Yeonho!"

She can’t sing.

Unexpectedly, I discovered something Heena can't do.

Even though I found it, like yesterday, today ended up being a time to console Heena, too.

No, this truly wasn’t my intention.

[ Han Yeonho: That incident though... ]

[ Heeseong hyung: I did say contact me whenever you’re comfortable, but that doesn’t mean I wanted to hear more about my little brother’s love life... ]

[ Han Yeonho: Anyway, Heena might not be mad for too long, but.. still.. I wanted to make her happy and it ended up being ruined. Is there anything I can do? ]

[ Heeseong hyung: How do you think to ask me, whom you met for the first time yesterday, about that? You’re something, really. ]

[ Han Yeonho: Ha ha ha, I’m feeling bashful being praised like that ]

[ Heeseong hyung: Crazy lol. Anyway, what, you want to try a sensational date or something? ]

[ Han Yeonho: It doesn’t have to be sensational. What’s something that Heena would like? You’re her family, so you might know such things ]

[ Heeseong hyung: I don’t know. But wouldn’t she like anything as long as you are into it? Damn, she doesn’t talk about anything but you all day long at home ]

[ Han Yeonho: Hmm... ]

[ Heeseong hyung: Or try to be a bit more manly. From what I saw yesterday, you’ve totally got her wrapped around your finger. ]

[ Han Yeonho: Manly? ]

[ Heeseong hyung: Yeah, just grab her wrist like a real man and say, “Come here!” and just take her anywhere. ]

[ Han Yeonho: Huh......hyung, you’re not a forever alone with that face, are you? ]

[ Heeseong hyung: I might have spoken a bit stupidly but essentially, I’m saying to give her a surprise. Besides, she likes it when you do things for her, doesn’t she? ]

[ Han Yeonho: Ah~ Be a bit assertive? ]

[ Heeseong hyung: Whether it’s being strong or soft, she’s likely to like it either way. ]

[ Han Yeonho: Thanks. Since we've planned a date for tomorrow, I’ll give it a try. ]

[ Heeseong hyung: Yeah, okay. No need for a review. Even if you don’t tell me, Heena will blabber all about it... ]
