Chapter 70
The leopard print speedo was cut at an embarrassingly high angle. The palm-sized swimsuit had been forcibly tucked in on the left, causing the leopard print to bulge out along his contours.
"..."
At that moment, Bom was grateful this was Jae-gyu's private property. If he'd shown up wearing that at any other stream, he might have been hauled off to the police station.
"...Put on some pants."
"Don't you like it? It's reversible, so if push comes to shove, I can just flip it..."
Seeing Bom's serious expression, Jae-gyu fumbled to pull his Hawaiian shorts back on.
"Do you usually wear things like that when you go swimming?"
Bom's voice dropped several degrees. Even if it was somewhat grotesque to look at, that silhouette, which everyone's eyes would inevitably be drawn to, must have garnered immense attention.
The thought of Jae-gyu wearing that and walking around at a swimming pool, a water park, or the beach... no, anywhere at all, made her mood plummet.
At Bom's negative reaction, Jae-gyu's eyebrows drooped.
"Normally, I wear my baggy trunks... but it's our first date, Bom, so I bought it in a hurry yesterday..."
If that was the case, it was a relief. At least it meant he hadn't shown it to anyone else.
"Are you mad?"
Jae-gyu came over, a tube tucked under his arm, and began to explain.
"I feel like I haven't been able to show you my proper 'big move' since we started dating."
"What... what 'big move' are you talking about?"
In truth, Bom had a hunch why Jae-gyu was saying this.
For several days after they decided to date, both of them had been strangely tied up with work, unable to meet properly. At best, Jae-gyu had managed to squeeze out some time to rush over, allowing them to see each other's faces for a brief moment. Today was their first proper date since they started seeing each other. He had probably agonized over how to make a good impression. Bom had packed her bag with similar intentions.
"But where on earth do they sell things like that?"
"There's an orange outlet about thirty minutes from town."
"Who picked it out for you?"
Jae-gyu, who had by now waded through the water and stood beside her, added that it was a warehouse-style store, so he'd picked it out himself, and he'd chosen it because the leopard print looked sexy and it was reversible, making it seem useful.
"Next time... only wear that in enclosed spaces."
"Is it too stimulating?"
"I'm genuinely worried you'll get arrested."
Jae-gyu, thinking she was joking, let out a deep belly laugh and slipped the tube he was carrying right onto Bom's body.
"Alright, I'll pull your tube, so let's play in the water to your heart's content."
Jae-gyu's stream, with its shallow depth and strong current, was like a lazy river. Bom let her body relax into the tube and floated around.
Jae-gyu glanced at Bom, who had grown somewhat accustomed to the water, then pushed the tube backward, spun it around, and generally went wild. Seeing Bom giggle as the speed increased, Jae-gyu spun the tube even faster.
"What are you doing? Kyaaak!"
"This is Jae-gyu World."
Jae-gyu stood firmly in the middle of the stream, his legs braced, swinging the nylon rope connected to the tube around and laughing loudly.
"Try spinning it with a machine for a hundred days, see if it's more fun than this!"
The tube seemed like it would flip over but never did. Bom shook wildly, yet couldn't stop laughing.
Holding on tight to avoid falling off the tube, she laughed for so long, almost sobbing, that her energy was completely depleted. Bom had exhausted all her strength in the water.
After enjoying a round of Jae-gyu World, even though she was tired, the lingering feeling of Jae-gyu spinning her tube around made Bom giggle softly.
'Why is this so funny?'
The more she replayed it in her mind, the more she burst into quiet laughter, making her feel even weaker.
"Looks like Bom-Bom's laughter button has burst. It was fun, right? I'll do it again later."
"Yeah... ha... it's funny..."
"Then, shall we do some nature activities before we head back?"
"What's that?"
Jae-gyu moved to the shallow waters where there were large rocks. Bom, as Jae-gyu suggested, put her hands in the water flowing between the rocks and splashed around. Then, Jae-gyu suddenly plunged his hand into the water. When he opened his hand again, a tiny freshwater shrimp was twitching inside.
To an amazed Bom, Jae-gyu also showed her a crayfish from under a rock. The small, transparent crayfish even had its own little claws.
"I was already planning to take you to eat lobster, Bom, and this little guy got caught at just the right time."
"..."
Bom, now able to let about half of his jokes slide, left Jae-gyu, whose finger had been bitten by the crayfish in the meantime, and got out of the water.
Everything was peaceful. Bom made a visor with the back of her hand and looked up at the sky, her lips curving into a smile.
'This much counts as a successful first date.'
Small cumulus clouds floated across the sky, which looked as if indigo paint had been dissolved into it. The hot sun beat down strongly, leaving her body pleasantly warm after coming out of the water.
Was playing in the water always this fun? She had never really seriously played in the water before, usually preferring to lie on a sunbed and watch others. Bom gave this stream 5 out of 5 stars.
She liked it that much. Jae-gyu's lips, too, were curved in a wide, satisfied smile the entire time they played. He had taken several photos with his phone, which was wrapped in a waterproof case, so it would be fun to lie down together later and look through them.
All the fun today was thanks to Jae-gyu. But Bom also had something she had prepared this time.
'How surprised would he be if I showed him?'
It wasn't anything special, but imagining Jae-gyu's delighted reaction made her tingle with excitement. Bom's heart fluttered at the thought of quickly changing out of her wet swimsuit and showing Jae-gyu what she had prepared.
"Jae-gyu, you're hungry, right?"
"A bit peckish. Shall I get the watermelon? I'll show you my breaking show."
What he meant was, he'd take the watermelon that had been chilling in the stream and try to split it with the edge of his hand. Bom's face stiffened.
"No, that's alright."
"..."
Jae-gyu, crestfallen, followed behind Bom. Entering the Caravan, Bom decided to playfully tease him before going into the bathroom. To Jae-gyu, who was washing his hands, she brought up a question she'd been curious about earlier but had held back.
"What pattern is it if you flip it inside out?"
Jae-gyu, who seemed to buffer for a moment, understood Bom's words and, with a knowing smile, suddenly stripped off his Hawaiian shorts.
"Ugh."
It had been somewhat tolerable earlier because she'd seen it from a distance, but up close, it was even more of a sight to behold.
"You said you were curious."
"Why didn't you just tell me with words..."
"See for yourself, Bom."
For some reason, Jae-gyu was already erect. It wasn't the first time she'd seen it, but it felt different from when he wore drawers. Whether it was because it was a speedo or because of the material, she couldn't tell, but it was embarrassing regardless.
Whether he knew her feelings or not, Jae-gyu kept urging her to flip it inside out and check.
Bom carefully hooked her finger onto the leopard print swimsuit band draped below Jae-gyu's wet abs.
"Ha..."
Jae-gyu was already letting out a groan. Ignoring his hot gaze fixed on her, Bom gently tugged at Jae-gyu's swimsuit to check the lining.
Even with a quick glance, it was a zebra pattern.
"This is Jae-gyu's 'big move'..."
She had indeed been hit by a 'big move'. To think he'd buy something like this... a small headache began to throb.
'Next time, I'll have to suggest we go shopping together.'
As she gently tried to close the briefs, something inside twitched.
Startled, Bom raised her head to look at Jae-gyu, and her lips were immediately devoured.
"Mmm..."
Their suddenly interlocked lips were as soft and tender as always. Jae-gyu, firmly supporting the back of Bom's head with his right hand, pushed his thick tongue into her red mouth.
Bom slightly opened her eyes and met Jae-gyu's gaze. In that instant, Jae-gyu's long eyes crinkled with pleasure, and the arms holding her tightened further.
"Bom, ha, why are you so beautiful? Every day is a new record."
Without even asking for a reply, Jae-gyu repeated "Why are you so beautiful?" a couple more times, then gave her a few short, smacking kisses before resuming the humid kiss.
Jae-gyu, who had been hugging her tightly and tenderly caressing her wet body—what was so good about it, she wondered—briefly pulled his lips away and whispered.
"Do you have any energy left?"
The intention of the question was obvious. Jae-gyu took one of Bom's hands and placed it on his speedo. She felt Jae-gyu's outline, soft and squishy, yet with a hard core.
"Mmm..."
Bom let out a soft groan. Her hand, tracing the ridiculously large outline, was careful yet eager.
"My erection hasn't gone down since I was spinning your tube..."
Jae-gyu thrust his tongue deep into her mouth and began to knead Bom's chest with his hand, still clad in her swimsuit.
"Augh, hng..."
Even though Jae-gyu was only touching her chest, heated moans poured from between her lips.
Her wet swimsuit clung completely to her skin, and because of that, the visual stimulation was even stronger than if she were naked.
Every time he gently stroked up and down her breasts with all five fingers splayed so they brushed her nipples, her legs felt so weak they could collapse.
When she leaned back slightly, Bom's lower back touched the bathroom door. The corridor in front of the Caravan's bathroom was narrow, and that created a sense of pressure.
Jae-gyu, unintentionally pressing Bom against the wall and continuing to caress her wet breasts, brought his face, on the verge of excitement, close to hers.
His breathing was still rough and fast.
