65. Beach Trip (8)
65. Beach Trip (8)
"Ah, you're already back, unnie?"
Ha-na, who had been rolling around on the mat while looking at her phone, lifted her head at the sound of their arrival.
"Yeah."
Baek-seol entered under the parasol while half-carrying So-jeong.
"You could've stayed out playing a bit longer."
"If we did that, this one would've collapsed."
As she said that, Baek-seol carefully lowered So-jeong onto the mat.
"Huaaaah......"
So-jeong, already half-unconscious, let out a limp sound as her body went slack.
"Don't tell me you're this exhausted from just being in the water for a little while?"
At Ha-na's question, Baek-seol silently nodded.
"So-jeong unnie......"
Ha-na looked at So-jeong with undisguised astonishment.
"You really have weak stamina, unnie."
"Ugh."
So-jeong, who was sprawled out like seaweed, flinched at Ha-na's words.
"See? I told you to exercise regularly, didn't I?"
Baek-seol added to what Ha-na said, but inwardly she was thinking the opposite.
'Thank goodness she only came once this time.'
So-jeong was someone who, during sex, always showed incredible prowess—no matter how many times she came, her dick showed no signs of wilting.
'If we'd done that out on the water......'
Not only would Baek-seol herself have collapsed from being unable to keep up with So-jeong's stamina as usual, but the chances of being discovered by others would have skyrocketed.
But just now, So-jeong's futanari dick was satisfied after coming inside Baek-seol just once, and thanks to that, they were able to enjoy playing in the water like normal people afterward.
Though for So-jeong, "playing in the water" just meant floating around lazily and occasionally splashing the water with a plap plap.
So-jeong enjoyed those leisurely moments, and Baek-seol enjoyed watching So-jeong like that.
'So cute.'
She'd been so absorbed in blankly watching So-jeong surrendering her body to the gentle waves that they stayed in the water until her stamina was dangerously depleted.
"Hah, I'll really exercise from now on......"
So-jeong turned her trembling head to look up at Baek-seol.
"Baek-seol, do you want to go play with Ha-na a bit more? I'm just going to rest here for a while."
"Wow! Baek-seol unnie, want to play beach volleyball with me?"
"No."
"Hmph."
At Baek-seol's knife-sharp refusal, Ha-na pouted her lips and shook her head.
"Baek-seol unnie never plays along even once."
"You're the one who keeps imposing on people."
So-jeong, who had been listening to their conversation, turned her head toward Ha-na this time.
"Huhu, Ha-na, lend me your ear for a sec."
"Huh? Why?"
Ha-na perked up her ears and brought her face closer to So-jeong.
"......"
So-jeong covered her mouth with her hand and whispered something, and a mischievous smile gradually spread across Ha-na's face as she listened.
"Eheheee~"
Ha-na made an exaggerated sound and looked at Baek-seol. Her sparkling eyes looked exactly like a cat that had spotted its prey.
"So that's how it is~"
Ha-na's voice was now loud enough to reach Baek-seol's ears unabashedly.
"So Baek-seol unnie is refusing to play beach volleyball with me because she's tired from playing with So-jeong unnie earlier and thinks she'll lose?"
"......What?"
Ha-na didn't miss how Baek-seol's stoic eyebrows twitched.
"So that's how it is~ Aww, well then there's nothing we can do~ Okay okay So-jeong unnie, I'll go play by myself~"
As Ha-na grabbed the beach ball and started to dash away, Baek-seol called her back.
"Wait."
"Yes? What is it~?"
Ha-na turned around with an innocent expression and tilted her head.
"What did you just say?"
Baek-seol glared sharply at Ha-na as she spoke, but Ha-na answered with the same bright face.
"Ah, that Baek-seol unnie is tired so she thinks she'll lose to me, so I'll go play by myself~"
"......Haa."
Baek-seol let out a sigh, stood up from her spot, and strode over to stand in front of Ha-na.
"You......"
Baek-seol, who was taller than most women, looked down at Ha-na and spoke menacingly.
"What happens if you lose?"
"Huhu, how about granting me one wish?"
Ha-na proposed without backing down.
"Don't go back on your word later."
"No way~"
Having said that, Ha-na looked past Baek-seol toward So-jeong.
"So-jeong unnie, since that's how it turned out......"
"Yeah~ have fun~"
So-jeong weakly waved her arm as she spoke.
"I'll be...watching you guys......"
"Well then, shall we go, Baek-seol unnie?"
Tossing and catching the beach ball with one hand, Ha-na stepped out from under the parasol first.
Baek-seol turned back to look at So-jeong for a moment.
"So-jeong...can we talk later?"
"Ah, ahaha......"
Leaving behind a guilty-sounding laugh, Baek-seol followed Ha-na out.
"Shall we do it around here?"
Ha-na, having found a spot, gently swept the sand with her foot as she spoke.
"Hm?"
Baek-seol, standing opposite Ha-na, glanced around their surroundings.
"There are fewer people over there, so why here?"
"Well, if we're here, So-jeong unnie can see us better, right?"
Ha-na answered while sneaking a glance toward the parasol where So-jeong was lying down.
"......You're sometimes annoyingly perceptive."
"Ehehehe, I make a living off that~"
"What exactly did So-jeong tell you earlier?"
"Nothing much~ Just that even back in school days, Baek-seol unnie got particularly fired up about physical or competitive challenges?"
"I knew it......"
Watching Baek-seol sigh with her hand on her forehead, Ha-na burst out laughing, "Ahaha."
Then she glanced up at Baek-seol and said in a suggestive voice:
"But that's not the only reason, is it?"
"What do you mean?"
Ha-na's gaze slid back toward the parasol where So-jeong was.
"I made it sound like you took the bait from my provocation, but really, you came along because you were worried So-jeong unnie would feel bad if I kept playing alone, right?"
"......"
Baek-seol looked at Ha-na for a while with a surprised expression.
"I told you, you're sometimes annoyingly perceptive."
"I told you I make a living off it~"
Ha-na grinned quite smugly and tossed the beach ball to Baek-seol.
"But still! The bet about granting one wish if you lose is real, so be prepared, okay?"
Baek-seol got into position, her eyes flashing with a sharpness that could freeze even the midsummer heat.
"Whatever."
***
The beach trip for So-jeong, Baek-seol, and Ha-na didn't end until the sunset had burned crimson on the horizon.
After cleaning up their spot and changing back into their regular clothes, the three were on their way to catch the train they had booked.
"Hueh, hueeeek! Kueeeek......!"
At the sound of someone seemingly on the verge of collapsing, So-jeong glanced back.
"Ha, Ha-na...are you okay?"
"Not, at all, okayyy......!"
Ha-na, carrying all three of their bags, squeezed out her voice with every difficult step she took.
"See? Who told you to make such a bet?"
"You, you look like you're struggling so much, maybe we should help a little......"
"No."
Baek-seol said firmly.
"If you said it, you have to take responsibility."
"Eueeeek......!"
Ha-na gritted her teeth and took another step.
"Seriously, Baek-seol unnie, how are you so good at this......I've never been told I'm bad at sports anywhere else......!"
"Well, Baek-seol has, um, naturally good physical abilities......"
"Grr, having that body, that face, that height, AND good physical abilities is just too unfair......I'm so jealous!"
Ha-na's cry echoed under the high summer sky.
"Hueeeeh......"
Once aboard the train and finally free from the bags, Ha-na immediately melted into her seat.
"You worked hard, Ha-na."
So-jeong and Baek-seol took the two seats opposite across the aisle.
Perhaps because they were returning quite late, the train car was quiet.
"Well then, unnies."
Ha-na raised her hand weakly, like someone who had just finished a marathon.
"I, having completed my mission, shall now collapse. Please be sure to wake me when we arrive......"
After leaving what sounded like her last words, Ha-na let her arm drop with a thud.
"Keur......"
Watching Ha-na fall asleep within a minute, emitting slow nasal sounds, So-jeong let out a small laugh.
"She really fell asleep right away."
"A simple-minded girl."
"Haa~"
So-jeong also sank deep into her chair and let out a satisfied sigh.
"It was fun. Right."
"Well......"
Baek-seol trailed off while turning her gaze out the window, but So-jeong already understood what she meant.
Tap. So-jeong lightly rested her head on Baek-seol's shoulder.
"It's nice traveling with the three of us."
So-jeong whispered in a voice only Baek-seol could hear.
"I'd prefer if she didn't tag along every time though."
"Ahaha, then let's have her come along sometimes."
A comfortable silence fell between them. From afar, the sound of the train doors closing with a hiss could be heard, and soon the train carrying the three of them began to move slowly.
"Next time,"
So-jeong suddenly spoke.
"Next time...do you think we could come with more friends?"
"......"
Baek-seol looked at So-jeong for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Of course."
"Hehe."
So-jeong rubbed her cheek lightly against Baek-seol's shoulder and laughed.
"Though I still have a long way to go before I can properly talk with people."
"I think you're doing plenty well already."
Baek-seol said while lightly resting her head on top of So-jeong's.
"Ha-na gets along with you just fine, doesn't she?"
"With Ha-na...it feels less like something I did and more like she just came to me on her own, you know?"
So-jeong let out an "ahaha" laugh.
"But still, yeah. I'll be able to do better in the future."
As if repeating Baek-seol's words, So-jeong gently took Baek-seol's hand.
"......"
Baek-seol said nothing, just interlaced her fingers with So-jeong's and gave a slight squeeze.
Sometimes, the warmth of held hands conveys more heart than words ever could.
"......Maybe I should have accepted when those unnies asked me to play outside the changing room earlier."
"No, that's not what I meant."
Baek-seol quickly interjected as So-jeong recalled the moment with her chin propped on her finger.
