My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty - My Platinum-Blond Childhood Friend Is So Pretty chapter 131

131 – 50. Marry Me

It was probably a luxurious suite, a spacious living room.

The beautiful mood lamps on the furniture, including the table in the center, created a sentimental atmosphere with their soft, spreading light.

Those things also took my breath away for a moment, but it was just a moment.

What caught my attention inside was.

Only one girl.

“How long are you going to stand there?”

She raised an eyebrow, looking at my frozen state, and offered me the seat across from her with a smile.

But I couldn’t move.

I forgot to breathe, staring at my girlfriend.

“…….”

I had imagined various cosplay outfits Eli might wear, but I never expected this.

Not in a million years.

“Are you not listening to the princess right now? You’re being rude.”

I never expected Eli to become a princess, especially since she had been focusing on s*xy and provocative things lately.

From head to toe, she was perfect.

On her neatly arranged platinum hair, a tiara.

Her ears and neck wore silver accessories.

Below, a dress that wouldn’t be out of place in a Disney animation, but not too flashy or colorful like Snow White’s.

A soft, pale blue dress that gave off a Cinderella-like feeling, with a full skirt that still looked elegant overall.

“Wow…”

The off-the-shoulder type revealed her arms and shoulders, and her collarbone, giving off a childlike feeling, but not in a bad way.

It was rather s*xy, but somehow that thought didn’t cross my mind.

How could I put it into words?

Was it noble?

I had dressed up in cosplay before, but it wasn’t as serious back then, and the quality of the dress wasn’t this good.

I thought I looked good, but I didn’t feel this kind of reverence.

That’s right.

The girl in front of me was…

A “real-life princess”.

With her platinum hair, porcelain-like skin, beautiful blue eyes, cherry-like red lips, and a doll-like figure that was slender yet curvy.

Anyone who saw her would nod in agreement without a doubt – she was a princess who couldn’t be any more perfect.

The ideal princess I had admired since I was young, the one I still drew in my imagination.

– Thud –

I sat down in the chair across from her, still in a daze.

Not because I recognized what Eli had said earlier, but because I wanted to see her up close.

Eli smiled and leaned back in her chair, raising an eyebrow as she looked at me, and I felt like my heart would stop.

The heart that had been pounding like a drum before entering the hotel room had stopped working.

“What’s wrong?”

“……”

“What do you think of me?”

“……”

“Are you going to die? The princess is asking you, and you’re ignoring her?”

“……You’re pretty.”

“Heh. You’re finally answering.”

“I’m sorry. You’re too… too pretty… too beautiful… I can’t speak…”

As I stuttered out my admiration, a bright smile spread across the princess’s face.

– Thud –

My heart, which had stopped, started beating again. My face grew hot, and I think I must have turned bright red.

“Is this the princess you always sing about, the one you like?”

“It’s the best. Just… exactly the princess I imagined. 100%… no, 200% perfect.”

As I said that, I suddenly thought that it was impossible to be on par with this noble princess and look her straight in the eye.

The moment I thought that, I slid out of my chair.

I knelt down on the floor.

It was already awkward, and I couldn’t help but avert my gaze, wondering what was going on.

“What are you doing… huh…?”

Eli, who was questioning my sudden actions, seemed to remember something and lifted the corners of her mouth.

-Droop

At the same time, she slightly turned her chair towards me, rested her right elbow on the armrest, and supported her cheek with her hand.

She looked down at me with that condescending attitude, her face, and her confident gaze that seemed to say she was superior.

I received her gaze, and with a humble demeanor, I crawled towards her on my knees.

In fact, the initial shock had worn off, and I had regained my composure.

Just…

‘The quality is really unbelievable… everyone helped because of this.’

I was only acting with reverence towards Eli, who had prepared this amazing princess cosplay for me, and a hint of situational drama.

As I reached her, Eli also seemed to catch the mood and extended her left hand.

-Swoosh

On her slender fingers, the silver couple ring I had given her sparkled.

I naturally took her hand with both of mine.

With a romantic feeling.

Slowly, I pressed my lips to the ring, not her palm.

-Tchok…

I had done a kiss that would be fitting in a movie or anime.

I felt an indescribable, thrilling emotion, as if something I had dreamed of since childhood had come true.

Thanks to that, I replaced my fluttering lips with a bright, beaming smile from the bottom of my heart and lifted my head.

And, like me, Eli was smiling with a hint of mischief, her lips curled up.

My girlfriend.

My childhood friend.

“You’re more beautiful and lovely than any princess I’ve ever seen. You’re the best… really, thank you, Eli. I love you.”

I expressed my gratitude and declared my love.

“…….”

At that moment, Eli’s face, which had been smiling, turned bright red.

-Tak

She pushed my hand away.

-Dupseok

Then, she grabbed my face with both hands, leaned forward, and drew closer to me.

Her eyes, burning with possessiveness, gazed at me, and in an instant, her red lips covered mine.

-Glory to the princess who kissed me!

“Huah… Chu…”

I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the hot breath and tongue that ravished me.

That scorching kiss.

***

A reaction filled with sincerity and a brief situational drama, all in the name of a kiss.

It wasn’t until it ended that we could sit back down at the table, calmly chatting and sharing stories.

“Was it because of this that you’ve been going out lately?”

“Yeah. I discussed it with friends, looked for a reservable hotel, and even got help from Min-ah unnie to get a dress.”

“It seems like you prepared quickly. This kind of dress usually takes a while to get.”

“It was originally made. It wasn’t for sale as a half-decorated item. I just had to adjust the size, and it was ready quickly. The designer said it was a lot of hard work, and they even did some quality control for me.”

Of course, I still couldn’t take my eyes off the elegant woman sipping wine and chatting with me.

This was truly an unrealistic quality, and beauty.

All the princesses in the world should learn from Eli right now. Of course, there’s no one as beautiful as Eli, but…

I’ve seen her face every day for 15 years, but today, I felt a strange, unfamiliar sensation that made my heart flutter even more.

“The quality is amazing. I was shocked when I saw you. You looked like you came out of an animation.”

“Huh?”

“Of course, you’re way more beautiful than that, but the feeling is…”

“Heh. Naturally. Now, you drink too.”

“Ah, okay.”

Cheers!

We clinked our wine glasses and took a sip.

To be honest, I wasn’t particularly fond of drinking, and wine didn’t taste that special to me, but…

It really fit the atmosphere right now.

It seemed to amplify the romantic sentiment.

The wine glass and the wine’s color, similar to Eli’s lips…

And the princess in front of me, sipping it…

“…….”

“…….”

After taking a sip, we didn’t say a word, just exchanging glances for a moment, and it felt amazing.

That strange feeling seemed like it would overflow, so I casually started talking.

“But Eli, didn’t we agree not to do a surprise? Let’s do it together from now on, no secrets.”

“…….”

Eli hesitated, then quickly looked away.

But soon, she raised her voice, her tone turning sarcastic.

“I Do-yoon.”

“Yeah.”

“You, who disappeared for three hours every day, what were you really preparing for? Did you really not know?”

“That’s… um, I kind of knew?”

“Then it’s not a surprise. Am I right?”

“Uh…”

“You knew everything and were waiting, so it’s the same as doing it together, right?”

She confidently spits out the words as if she’s done nothing wrong.

Of course, it was a surprise, but…

“Yeah, it’s not a surprise. I would’ve prepared it with you to this extent.”

“Hmm, I should’ve done that earlier. You always do that, and it’s annoying when you keep questioning me like that.”

“Sorry, I was wrong. Will you forgive me?”

“Just be more careful from now on.”

The princess says so, and of course, her words are right.

She puts her hands on her hips and turns her head, looking really cute and lovely, just like the princess herself.

“So, who are you not going to meet now?”

“What’s with that? If I went, wouldn’t that be better?”

“No, I’m happy. Like I said before, I get lonely when you’re not around.”

“Don’t be silly… There’s no need to worry since we’re not going anywhere.”

“That’s good. When I’m alone, I keep thinking about the military, and it’s almost time.”

“…….”

Eli closes her mouth.

It seemed like I unintentionally brought up the military, and it got awkward.

Maybe it’s because I’ve had a bit to drink, and the atmosphere is also affecting me.

I realized I said something unnecessary and didn’t want to ruin this happy event, so I tried to comfort Eli quickly.

But before that, Eli looked at me with clear eyes and asked.

“Do you remember?”

“What do you mean?”

“When I gave you this coupling ring.”

“Of course, I remember. I confessed to you and had my first kiss with you then. It was also our first overnight stay.”

“Did I say that back then? You’re mine, and I’m yours.”

“Yes, you did.”

“Is that feeling still the same now?”

“It’s not just now; it’ll be like that for the rest of my life. There hasn’t been a single moment when it wasn’t like that.”

“…That’s right. I’m the same.”

Eli smiles. She confirms the obvious fact with a comfortable laugh and continues talking.

“Do you remember when I said I’d propose to you more romantically than when you confessed to me?”

“Yeah. I’ve already been thinking about it. How can I make it the most romantic in the world? And I showed you this today, so I’ll try harder.”

“When are you going to do it? In 5 years? 6 years?”

“After we’ve established a certain foundation? We’ll need some time to get married and become independent.”

“…Alright.”

Eli finishes talking and remains silent for a moment. Then, she takes a sip of wine.

Looking at her, who seems to be calming her heart, taking a moment before speaking, I somehow get a hunch.

I sense what Eli is going to say next.

Why did she consult with Vinnie, who’s far from this event?

Is it just to show off the princess cosplay, or why did she decorate this living room so romantically and sensitively?

Those thoughts swirled in my head, leading me to one conclusion.

Just then, Eli opened her mouth.

“I hate it.”

“What’s that?”

“That you’re doing it so late.”

“Getting married?”

“The wedding can be later, and we can have kids even later too.”

“…….”

I didn’t quite understand what she meant. She didn’t like getting married late, but it seemed like she was okay with having a late wedding and kids.

So I listened quietly.

“Yes, whether it’s in the past, present, or future, you’re mine, and I’m yours… but I want to make it even clearer.”

-Clunk-

Eli pushed her determination forward and stood up from her seat. She took a step closer to me and stood in front of me.

With eyes full of love and affection, mixed with a hint of tension, she looked at me and said:

“It’s not just between us, I want the whole world to know. Idoyun is mine. I am Idoyun’s.”

Three years ago.

I had secretly bought a couple’s ring and proposed to Eli on a Ferris wheel, putting the ring on her finger.

And now, three years later.

This time…

-Slick-

The platinum princess extended her hand to me.

It wasn’t like she was begging for love, but rather, it was as if she was bestowing something upon me.

On her hand was a square case that seemed to have been hidden somewhere.

“If you say no, I’ll kill you. I won’t allow any objections.”

Her slender fingers grasped the case and lifted it up.

With a clicking sound, a delicate silver ring adorned with jewels appeared.

“Idoyun.”

The princess, who had called my name, added one final phrase with a face that dared me to refuse.

“Marry me.”
