My Japanese Childhood Friend Is Too Flirty

54. July, Just the Two of Us Childhood Friends at the Water Park! (3)

“Now then, Customer. Is there anywhere that’s bothering you…?”

Press, press.

Aki, with hands slick with sunscreen, began to meticulously rub and knead my back, slowly spreading the lotion.

A little strange, this feeling. Being touched and explored on bare skin by Aki, where I couldn’t see. Kind of ticklish, too.

‘…Must be how Aki felt just now, huh?’

“Ujuuu…-chan?”

“…Mhm, I’m okay.”

Her touch made me tingle, my voice rising slightly.

Aki seemed amused by my reaction, letting out a little “heehee…”—her signature giggle—as she slowly massaged the area around my shoulders. Then, lifting the weight of her backside off me, she scooted down a bit, settling with her thighs straddling mine.

“Now, for the lower part…?”

Thanks to that, I started to feel the soft, pillowy sensation of Aki’s large, swimsuit-clad bottom against my thighs…

‘…Wow.’

The feeling spreading from where our skin touched was… indescribably blissful.

How should I put it? Like the onomatopoeia “boing-boing” materialized from a cartoon as a jelly-like form, pressing and rubbing insistently against my thighs…?

I’d known all along that Aki had a big bottom, but.

Experiencing it directly like this… well, I understand very well that seeing it and experiencing it are two very different things.

Hips, hooray!

Hips are the best…!

“How’s it feel? Good, Ujuuu~-chan…?”

“…….”

Before I knew it, I almost blurted out, “Yes, it feels so good.”

Even though she was asking if the sunscreen application felt good, not about the sensation of her bottom pressed against me.

Knowing I’d probably start grinning like an idiot if I let my guard down, I pressed my lips tightly together and focused all my attention on Aki’s hands massaging my back.

“Mhm, mhm…”

“…….”

“Mhm, mhm… .Heehee…”

With a suggestive murmur, Aki’s hand gradually slid lower.

Starting from my shoulders, already coated in sunscreen, moving past my armpits, down my back, over my spinal erectors… and finally…

“…You don’t have to do it that far down.”

Her fingers grazed the beginning of the area that should really be called my butt, not my back.

Startled, I stopped her nicely. And Aki, seemingly unintentionally, whispered “heehee, sorry…” and moved her hand back up, lightly rubbing my shoulders and armpits.

“Ujuuu~-chan, did you work out really hard…?”

“…Huh?”

“It seems your shoulders have gotten a little broader…”

Not stopping with words, Aki, as if savoring my shoulders, slowly traced them with her fingers, letting out a strange sigh of admiration.

“Yeah, definitely bigger. More muscle, too, and your build’s gotten thicker…”

“…Really?”

It’s true I worked out hard during the first semester, but there weren’t any drastic changes. Just a bit more basic fitness and a little bit of my baby fat melted off.

My body’s improved to a level that’s only noticeable if you really look, and even most of my friends don’t seem to notice, so I thought no one would, but somehow she figured it out.

Aki sees my face almost every day, so she should be desensitized to small changes, too.

“How can you tell things like that?”

“Why wouldn’t I know? Of course, I know. …It’s about Uju~chan, after all.”

Aki lightly stroked my back muscles with her fingers.

The soft sensation brushed against my bare skin, and I flinched instinctively. Aki looked down at me and sighed, a deep, flushed breath.

“I can know everything. How Uju~chan was yesterday, how you’ve changed today, what kind of stories you were telling other girls, and how they’re getting along…”

The first part I can understand, but how could she know the latter, by what method…?

I almost asked out loud, but stopped myself.

“Yeah, all done…”

Aki, having finished applying sunscreen, suddenly leaned in close, embracing me tightly from behind.

“…Aki?”

I couldn’t move.

If I moved now, Aki might fall or lose her balance and get hurt.

“Being like that is dangerous…”

“…Uju~chan’s body is more dangerous.”

“Why is my body…?”

“…”

Silence from behind me.

Thinking she might not have heard me, I barely managed to turn my head and glance back.

Aki, having completely gained the upper hand, was looking down at me with a slightly flushed face.

“…”

“…”

The look in Aki’s eyes as she stared down at me was unsettling.

That, you know, that look she gave me before.

Like a lioness, s*livating before a delectable kill, that kind of intense gaze.

“…Uju-chan.”

“…Hmm?”

“Three days ago, you talked with Kim Yaeun during gym class, and two days ago, you went to the canteen with Ham Jieun, didn’t you…?”

“…….”

What is this.

How did she know?

Aki’s in a different class from me, she couldn’t have seen me…

As I remained speechless, Aki’s hand lightly encircled the nape of my neck.

There wasn’t any strength behind it, so it didn’t hurt, but at first glance, it looked like Aki was choking me, me lying prone beneath her.

“I’ll give you time to explain, Uju-chan…”

“…I won’t make excuses.”

“Oh, so confident…?”

Because I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Kim Yaeun is a girl in my class, I talked to her briefly about the math homework for the class after gym, and I went to the canteen with Ham Jieun because Kim Seungwoo suggested the three of us go together. I didn’t say anything much there either.

When’s the next commercial model shoot, Aki hates it so it’s no good. Then how about the two of us doing it together? I asked that too and her eyes were blazing with fury, but I think I could sweet-talk her and soothe her somehow…. something like that I think I said.

In any case, I swear to the heavens, I haven’t done anything I can’t face Aki with.

“…Heh.”

Sensing that in my attitude, Aki let out a nasal hum, a hum seemingly saturated with satisfaction.

She reached out, lightly grasped my head and shoulders, and pressed her lips to the back of my neck.

And with a slightly stinging sensation, *chuu*.

She s*cked on the nape of my neck.

“…Tssup.”

“…….”

Tingling.

I flinched almost imperceptibly.

Aki clung to me even tighter, as if telling me to stay still, and I, unable to offer even a token resistance, meekly surrendered the back of my neck.

“…Hmm, there.”

Only after what felt like an eternity did Aki finally release me.

Lacking a mirror, I couldn’t see the state of my neck, but a faint tingling lingered, leaving little doubt that a rather sizable lip print was emblazoned there.

Instinctively, I raised a hand, tracing the spot where Aki’s lips had pressed and then released, before blurting out,

“…What was that?”

“Territory marking.”

“Territory… marking?”

“Yup, so other girls won’t try to talk to Ujoo~chan later…”

“I doubt anyone would even try, even without that…”

“…No, there definitely will be.”

Aki stirred, slowly pushing herself up.

Her hand remained resting on my back muscles, as she slowly, languidly, swept her gaze across my upper body.

“Ujoo~chan, you have a good body and you’re handsome, so I absolutely have to do this. No, actually, I should mark you even more, all over…”

*Ssseuup.*

Aki trailed off, licking her lips.

It felt like she wanted to say more but was forcibly holding back, so I refrained from pressing further and cautiously asked,

“…Can I get up now?”

“Yeah, all done…”

Aki climbed off me.

Finally freed, I carefully sat up and took the sunscreen from Aki, starting to apply it to various parts of my body.

Aki had done my back, so only the remaining areas. I squeezed out a generous amount, smearing it on my chest, my arms, and liberally on my armpits and abdomen.

“….”

“…What?”

“…Ujoo~chan.”

Aki was inching closer, closer.

A dangerous glint in her eyes, Aki seemed unable to tear her gaze away from my abs and pectoral muscles.

“A quick k*ss, before we go out…?”

“…Huh? Out of the blue?”

“Yeah, I suddenly wanted to…”

Padding towards me on all fours, like a feline.

“*Tssup.*”

She half-pounced, wrapping herself around me, and k*ssed me.

Lips met lips, a perfect seal, and her arms snaked around my back, pulling me into a tight embrace.

A slightly awkward position for me, thanks to that.

But my hesitation was fleeting; soon one arm braced against the bedsheet to support myself, the other returning Aki’s embrace.

“……”

“…Mmh.”

“……”

“…Chwup. …Haaah.”

Aki’s cheeks were slowly blooming with crimson.

I was shirtless, and she wore only her swimsuit, so it should have been cool as normal. Yet, strangely, our pressed-together bodies grew hotter and hotter. Aki seemed to feel it too, unable to tame the rising heat, squirming and wriggling, her chest rubbing lightly against my bare skin.

“Uhn, uhn… Chuock….”

Kkuuuk.

Aki squeezed me tightly, an embrace pushed to its absolute limit.

My chest muscles pressed against her soft br*easts, their shapes contorting this way and that, with all her might.

Only Aki’s breathy, suggestive sounds escaped from between our joined lips, stirring something deep within me. My hands twitched slightly, hesitantly, before one, quite by accident, brushed against her rear.

“Hah, unh….”

Aki’s face flushed scarlet.

“……Ah, sorry.”

Startled by the accidental caress of such a place, I quickly pulled my hand away, glancing anxiously at Aki.

But.

As if she didn’t mind.

No, it was more like she was hinting it was okay to touch more, giving me a subtle, encouraging smile.

She adjusted her position, straddling my thighs completely, arms wrapped around my neck as she deliberately pushed her bottom back.

“……Chup. …Ttsup. …Chwup.”

“……”

To touch, or not to touch.

Just for a moment, but I truly deliberated with all my strength.

If she was offering it up to be touched like this, surely it was okay.

Or… was it?

“……Mmh, gulp.”

Aki swallowed audibly, a pool of s*liva thick in her throat.

Seeing that, I instinctively swallowed hard myself, and Aki quietly watched the bob of my Adam’s apple before gently stroking the protruding lump.

“Heuh, how fascinating…”

“What is?”

“That thing sticking out below your neck. Girls don’t have one of those…”

“Ah, right…”

“Hey, what does it feel like when you touch it like this…?”

“Doesn’t feel like much… Just feels like someone’s touching it, I guess…?”

“……Tch, no fun.”

Aki clicked her tongue cutely.

“Woo-joo~chan.”

“Yeah?”

Aki, straddling my thigh, gazes at me intently.

Maybe it’s because we’re pressed so close, but our eye level is perfectly matched, which is a bit strange.

“Hey, instead of going to the water park, should we just play in the room…?”

“……In the room?”

“Yeah, just you and me, Aki and Woo-joo~chan. Just the two of us. Doing something… nice.”

“……”

A sweet temptation from Aki, one that no man could possibly refuse.

I…

“……Should we?”

I answered without a moment’s hesitation.
