60. Beach Trip (3)
60. Beach Trip (3)
"The seeeea~!"
Ha-na's excited voice echoed high into the sky before melting into the blue, swallowed by the sound of incoming waves.
"What was that?"
So-jeong frowned slightly at Baek-seol's sudden loud outburst beside her, but Ha-na just giggled.
"It's a line you often see in comics, I really wanted to try it once. Yay~"
"Isn't 'yay' for when you go to the mountains......?"
So-jeong laughed weakly from behind.
"Eh, what does it matter!"
But Ha-na paid no attention to So-jeong's teasing and bounced up and down.
"The important thing is that we're at the beach like this! All three of us!"
"Ahaha, that's true. I might be a little excited too."
"Right, right? They say people get all excited when they come to the beach? I couldn't even wait to change, so I already wore my swimsuit underneath! Look, ta-daa......"
"Hey, you can't just show it off here!"
So-jeong barely managed to stop Ha-na, who was about to strip right then and there.
"We haven't changed yet."
Baek-seol took out her and So-jeong's swimsuits from the bag.
"Let's change first and put on sunscreen, So-jeong. The sun is strong, you'll burn quickly."
Rummaging through the bag, Baek-seol expertly pulled out sunscreen and with her other hand grabbed the parasol, handing it to Ha-na.
"You set this up."
"Ah, can't you put sunscreen on me too?"
"Don't say weird things."
"Hmph, so meaaan......"
Ha-na pouted and slumped her shoulders.
"Sorry, Ha-na? I'd like to help too, but honestly, just getting here has worn me out a bit......"
"Heehee, there's nothing to apologize for, So-jeong unnie!"
At So-jeong's considerate words, Ha-na perked up her slumped shoulders as if nothing had happened and her eyes sparkled.
"Actually, I was planning to take care of the parasol and mat from the start! I just wanted to act a little spoiled with Baek-seol unnie!"
"Hey."
"Ah, I'll be right back~!"
Sensing the killing intent as Baek-seol's eyes sharpened, Ha-na quickly took the parasol and mat from her hands and dashed away.
"Sigh......"
Baek-seol sighed, pressing her temples as if a headache was already coming on.
"I'm starting to question for about the 30th time whether coming with her was really the right decision."
"Hehe, I think it's nice."
So-jeong leaned lightly against Baek-seol's shoulder and laughed softly.
"Being with her gives me energy. Even though she acts however she wants, she still looks out for us in her own way."
"If you're okay with it......"
Seeing Baek-seol immediately agree with her, So-jeong smiled softly again and gently rested her head on her shoulder.
If others got close to her, they'd all realize what a kind person Baek-seol really is.
Even as she thought that, So-jeong secretly wished that this gentle side of Baek-seol was shown only to her.
"Ha-na's already setting up the parasol."
"Should we change into our swimsuits before putting on sunscreen?"
At the mention of changing into swimsuits, So-jeong flinched nervously.
"Uh, yeah."
Nodding, So-jeong and Baek-seol headed towards the changing room set up on one side of the beach.
The beach was quite crowded with people who had come to escape the summer heat.
They had chosen a day that Ha-na, claiming extensive experience and vast information, had deduced as 'the day with the fewest people that even So-jeong unnie would be satisfied with,' so the unfortunate event of people overcrowding the sand and seawater didn't happen, but nonetheless, encountering groups of people everywhere was unavoidable.
"Eek......!"
As a group of people who seemed to have just left the changing room approached from the opposite direction, So-jeong stumbled aside to make way.
"Careful."
Baek-seol quickly grabbed So-jeong's shoulders with both hands and gently pulled her into an embrace.
"Ah, ehehe. Thanks, Baek-seol."
So-jeong, held in Baek-seol's arms, looked up at her and smiled sweetly.
"......So-jeong, don't get close to other people today."
After staring blankly at So-jeong for a moment with wide eyes, Baek-seol turned her head slightly and muttered.
"I usually don't anyway...... Why?"
"Just because."
Because I don't want others to see that pretty smile of yours.
Baek-seol compressed the sincere feeling rising in her heart into two words.
"Here."
Then, to hide her pounding heart, she quickly offered her hand to So-jeong.
"If we don't hold hands, we might get separated."
"Okay."
But contrary to her expectation, when So-jeong interlaced her own small, soft fingers between the knuckles of her offered hand, it was Baek-seol's turn to flinch.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
So-jeong tilted her head at Baek-seol's reaction.
"No, it's just, your hand......"
"Ah."
So-jeong looked down at their interlocked hands but then showed Baek-seol an innocent, bright smile.
"I thought if we hold hands like this, we're less likely to lose each other."
"......This is why I said not to get close to other people."
Already struggling to withstand So-jeong's natural offensive, Baek-seol muttered to herself.
***
The closer they got to the changing room, the more nervous So-jeong became.
"It'll, it'll be okay, right?"
Clutching her swimsuit tightly to her chest and slightly hunching her shoulders, So-jeong glanced around at the people nearby.
"It'll be fine."
Baek-seol declared, boosting So-jeong's spirits.
"Like, what if they stare because my swimsuit looks weird...... Or, or if they find out about... that......"
"We checked so many times when we picked the swimsuit. It won't be discovered."
"Y, yeah, right?"
"Yeah. And......"
Baek-seol cleared her throat and continued in a slightly trembling voice.
"The swimsuit... is really pretty. Don't worry about that either."
Baek-seol's face, shyly offering her honest impression, flushed hotly under the blazing sun.
"Ah, uh, yeah......"
Faced with an expression completely opposite to her usual cool and indifferent demeanor, So-jeong also blushed for no reason and mumbled her response.
'No, not now......!'
However, Baek-seol didn't notice So-jeong muttering that to herself and hunching over even more.
Upon arriving at the changing room, So-jeong quickly slipped into a stall.
"See you in a bit...!"
"Okay. If you finish changing first, wait for me outside a little."
Only after locking the door inside the stall did So-jeong lean against the wall and catch her breath.
"Whew......"
Even though it was a simple changing room with poor soundproofing, being in her own private space nonetheless brought her a small sense of relief and calm.
After catching her breath, So-jeong held up the swimsuit she had brought in front of her eyes.
It was a pretty swimsuit that still felt too good for her, but she decided not to dwell on that thought for long, if only for Baek-seol who had picked it out.
'......Baek-seol is probably changing in the stall next to me right now.'
Once her thoughts went there, she felt like her hearing was strangely focusing more on the sounds from the next stall.
Rustle rustle, ziiip-
Somehow, the sounds came through clearly even over the waves and the noisy chatter of people, and it felt like all her senses were expanding.
The warm, yet reliable touch of Baek-seol's hands that had embraced her shoulders just moments ago still lingered.
If she pressed her ear closer to this simple partition wall, she'd probably hear her better......"
"......Huh?!"
Coming to her senses, So-jeong realized she had unknowingly leaned her body towards Baek-seol's changing stall and pressed her ear against the wall.
"Ah, I can't do this!"
So-jeong jumped back from the wall in surprise, and as if hearing the noise, Baek-seol's voice came from the other side.
"So-jeong? Is something wrong?"
"Uhh, it's nothing!"
So-jeong immediately brushed it off and let out another sigh, smoothing her chest.
"I came prepared for this by jerking off several times this morning......"
To handle her morning erection and also prepare for the bomb-like stimulation of seeing Baek-seol in a swimsuit, So-jeong had squeezed out white cum until she was just barely not late for their meeting time.
She'd even sacrificed a newly bought onahole that tore again, but already So-jeong's reason was reaching its limit.
"If it really gets bad, I'll have to ask her to help me with her mouth in the bathroom......"
This was their first time at the beach with Ha-na, and their first time in a long time with Baek-seol. So-jeong didn't want this special time to be filled only with thoughts of her futanari dick.
"I should change quickly."
Saying that to herself, So-jeong began taking off her clothes one by one.
After changing into her swimsuit, So-jeong looked down at her body.
The simple changing room had no mirror, so she couldn't really tell how she looked objectively.
'......Can't see well because of my chest.'
From her downward perspective, she couldn't tell if her futanari trait was well hidden, but So-jeong decided to trust Baek-seol's words.
"Baek-seol."
So-jeong called out to Baek-seol through the partition wall.
"I'm done changing."
"Okay. I'll finish changing quickly too."
"Take your time."
The sounds of movement from the other side sped up, but So-jeong stopped her.
She wanted to be considerate and let Baek-seol, who was much more fashion-conscious, take her time.
"I'll go wait with Ha-na first."
"Alone? Will you be okay?"
"I'll be fine!"
Now that she was actually in her swimsuit, perhaps finally feeling the reality of being out of her daily routine, the anxiety from moments ago transformed into an inexplicable high, and So-jeong said it confidently.
"Hmm......"
Baek-seol seemed to hesitate for a moment before continuing.
"Okay. I'll follow right after I finish changing too."
"Take your time, take your time."
So-jeong said that and left the changing room.
And shortly after.
"Excuse me, miss! Yes, you, miss! Do you have a moment?"
"......Uh-ah?"
So-jeong had encountered a completely unexpected obstacle.
