My Japanese Childhood Friend Is Too Flirty - Chapter 137



On Becoming a Married Man (Soon-to-be) at 20 (1)

Immediately after Aki’s bombshell announcement, Abeonim was so shocked he spilled the coffee he was holding in his mouth, while Eomeonim wore a serene smile, as if she had expected it all along.

I later found out that Eomeonim wasn’t surprised because Aki had whispered it to only Eomeonim beforehand. But that’s not really important, so let’s just move on.

Anyway. Abeonim widened his eyes and asked again and again, was it really true, was she being serious?

Seeing his reaction, clearly half in disbelief, we showed him the baby’s ultrasound picture that we had brought in our bag. Abeonim stared at the clear form of the baby with his own two eyes, and only then seemed to believe it, his mouth agape.

……And after that, his expression turned incredibly serious. He said that, under the circumstances, we had to proceed with things as quickly as possible, and he even called my parents right then and there, during the visit to get their blessing, and set a specific date for our formal meeting of the families.

The date for the meeting was August 1st. The location, a high-class Korean restaurant near our home.

Once the date and location for the meeting were set, things progressed at a breakneck pace.

Since my parents had wanted Aki and I to marry as soon as possible in the first place, even though they were surprised by the news of Aki’s pregnancy, they didn’t oppose the marriage at all. In fact, they actively supported our marriage, even offering to find the wedding venue themselves.

And so, Aki and I found ourselves renting a hotel wedding hall to hold our wedding ceremony in the coming October.

It’s mid-August now…. Less than two months left until that day.

Truthfully, I’m still a little dazed. Because the thought of getting married, much less becoming a father, before my military service had never even crossed my mind.

We were diligent about contraception, always. I figured, at the very least, I’d be done with university before becoming a dad. But, go figure, against all odds, it just… happened. Guess that’s why they say you can’t predict what tomorrow holds.

[When will the invitations be ready?]

[They’re handmade, so it’ll take a little while. As early as this week, as late as next?]

[Oh, they’re coming out faster than I thought]

[Is it strictly suits for the wedding?]

[I’ve gained weight, and my suit doesn’t fit, anyone want to rent one together?]

Screech-.

I was smiling, reading the conversation amongst my old high school classmates, when the door opened. Aki, naturally. Her hair ends were slightly damp, as if she had just finished showering.

“Honey, what are you doing?”

“Huh? Oh…. Just chatting with the kids for a bit.”

“Which kids?”

“Kids from high school. I posted our mobile wedding invitation, you know, the one announcing that you and I are getting married, and their reactions are hilarious….”

“Really? What are they all saying?”

Aki tied her damp hair back as she walked towards me. I shifted my body to make space for her to sit, and said,

“Want to take a look?”

“Ah, is it okay if I look?”

“Go ahead. Here.”

“…… *Pfft*.”

Aki watched my phone intently before letting out a little laugh. In our high school group chat, which was still buzzing with real-time conversation, Jang Dong-ho, who joked about eating at the buffet twice without giving a congratulatory gift, was currently under attack by everyone.

“Ah, that’s funny…. Your friends are amusing…?”

“Aren’t they? They’re all fun and kind. It’ll be even funnier if you meet them in person, you know?”

“Heuh. Really? Okay. Then I’ll look forward to it…!”

Aki said with a laugh, then embraced me gently.

Soft, fleshy parts pressed closely against me, and Aki’s slightly swollen lower belly touched my waist.

“Oh, Aki. Didn’t you say you were going to tell your friends today? What did they all say?”

“Some said they knew it all along, and others said they were envious… You know what’s funny? Not a single one of them, out of all those kids, seemed genuinely surprised. They were all a little taken aback at first, then just showered me with congratulations.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah. Really. Why didn’t anyone seem that shocked?”

Aki tilted her head, as if truly perplexed.

She seemed genuinely clueless, but I felt like I knew the reason. It was all because of how Aki usually acted.

Whether her friends were around or not, she made it so obvious that she liked me, and they saw us taking care of each other all the time, like it was nothing, so it’s weird that they’d be surprised we were getting married so soon. I guess they all thought it was inevitable, wasn’t it? My friends definitely did.

“Why are you smiling, 서방님…?” (Seobangnim – Term of endearment towards a husband)

“…It’s nothing. But Aki, why doesn’t your pregnancy show much?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Usually, around ten weeks, your belly starts to get a little rounded, right? But looking at you, it’s hard to tell if your stomach is even sticking out.”

I gently touched Aki’s belly. It was incredibly smooth, hard to believe it was the belly of a girl ten weeks pregnant. No exaggeration, just looking at her, you really wouldn’t know there was a baby inside.

It was hard to believe that a baby was breathing inside this smooth lower abdomen, so I stroked it gently, again and again, quietly murmuring in admiration. Aki lightly tapped my arm and laughed, feeling ticklish.

“Pervert. Where do you think you’re touching…?”

“Touching my girlfriend’s belly makes me a pervert?”

“The way you were doing it was… suggestive. Pervert.”

“……Why does being called a pervert sound kind of nice?”

“Hehe…. What are you even saying. You really do seem like a pervert.”

Aki glanced at me, giggling.

Her smile seemed especially lovely today, so I pulled Aki into my arms and lightly k*ssed her lips.

“Mmm… Smack…”

“……”

“Uh huh…uh huh…”

As if she had been waiting for it, Aki returned my embrace, emitting a lovely sigh.

Afraid of hurting Aki, I carefully, as if handling a feather, relaxed my strength and savored her sweet lips to my heart’s content.

The doctor advised against intimacy during the early stages of pregnancy, so we had been avoiding even physical contact…. But now that we’re in the tenth week, and he said it was okay, my chest is starting to heat up, even with just a light k*ss.

“…We. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”

“Right? It’s been almost a month…”

A quick glance.

Aki glanced at my lower half.

My *that* area, not having been used properly for the last month, was displaying such impressive momentum that it felt like it might burst right through my pants.

“Hngh…. What is this?”

Thump.

Aki placed her hand on my fly.

This is the longest I’ve ever endured in my life, so even just Aki’s touch sends shivers crawling up my spine.

“So, after a month of abstinence, this is what happens….”

“…Aki, could you…touch it?”

“You’d be satisfied with just touching…?”

“……”

Of course not.

I conveyed my feelings with only my gaze.

Aki stared into my eyes for a moment, then let out a bewitching smile.

“Take off your pants, my dearest husband….”

“Yeah….”

“…Ha-eum.”

“……”

* * *

Sweating profusely, I lay on the bed, holding Aki tightly.

Aki, breathing raggedly, buried her face in my chest and murmured softly.

“You know, darling. Now that I think about it, I feel a little wronged….”

“Huh? What do you feel wronged about?”

“The timing of when our baby was conceived is just a little bit before when you started using condoms, right?”

“Hmm…. I suppose so?”

“So, if we knew I was already pregnant, you wouldn’t have needed to use condoms like now, right…?”

“…….”

*That* was the point she felt wronged about.

It’s true that you can’t get pregnant again when you’re already pregnant, so Aki was right, but apart from that, the fact that she was complaining about *that* made me laugh because she was so cute.

Not some serious and relatable content about being a mom at too young an age, but just that she felt wronged because she had to use condoms. Should I call it absurd? Or just…Aki-like…?

“Because darling’s is so thick, I like the feeling of it rubbing right up against the wall, scraping….”

“…Ahem.”

I gave Aki’s b*tt a light smack. What lewd things is she saying?

“Ow…. Why’d you do that?”

“Why else? Because you were talking nonsense.”

“Honey, you know you’ve been smacking my bottom a lot lately?”

“Did I…?”

“Yeah. You did. …It’s nice and plump, so it’s good to smack, right? Isn’t it?”

“……”

I wouldn’t deny it.

The feel of it in my hand *was* rather nice, truth be told…

“Pervert.”

“……About us going to Japan. You know it’s this weekend, right?”

If I talked about that for too long, I’d only be at a disadvantage. I pretended not to hear and changed the subject. Aki looked at me, seemingly finding it cute, and nodded.

“Uh-huh. I know. Saturday at ten in the morning.”

“We’ll go, meet your grandparents, say hello, and wander around a bit. If we have time, we can go see that shaman friend of yours.”

“Ah. Okay…! Heehee….”

Aki threw her arms around me.

“……But. I’m a little unsatisfied, so shall we do it one more time and then sleep?”

“Yeah. Pervert…♡”

“Come here….”

……It was a happy night.
