Chapter 119 – #26_A Cozy Daily Life (4)

#117

1.
There wasn’t really a dining area in the cabin.
There wasn’t enough space for a kitchen, so there was no way to set up a separate dining table in the yard where the annex was built.

“Shall we take a bath together?”
“Ptoo!”

Siwoo, who was eating dinner at a low table in front of the fireplace and drinking the prune juice served for dessert, spewed the juice out with truly cartoonish force.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

Thanks to Amelia’s splendid telekinesis, not a single drop splashed or leaked, and it all went into the empty bowl.
This level of reaction was reasonable.
Suddenly suggesting they bathe together, what was that supposed to mean?

“Huh…?”
“When I lived here, I often bathed with my teacher. I want to do it with Siwoo too.”

Amelia spoke in a clear, unwavering voice.
If he regained more of his memories, if his body grew more, it seemed like it would be quite an awkward picture, so she wanted to do it as soon as possible.
It was Amelia’s small desire to spend happy times with him before it was too late.

Siwoo was flustered.
Of course, there was a precedent of visiting the large bathhouse with the twins and seeing their naked bodies, but that didn’t mean that the shameless act of mixed bathing was naturally acceptable.
Seeing Siwoo’s reaction, Amelia added.

“Of course, we’ll wear underwear. Siwoo will wear underwear too.”

The flower crown that Siwoo had made for her that afternoon was still on Amelia’s head.
Even though sap was flowing from the broken flower stems and staining Amelia’s blonde hair, she stubbornly refused to take off the flower crown.

“I don’t mind…”

Siwoo felt much relieved at the words that it was okay even with underwear on.
Amelia nodded with a soft smile.

“Then I’ll heat up the water. Get ready and come out.”
“Okay.”

Amelia went outside and headed to the annex.
She took out a large wooden tub from the narrow annex that looked like a storage room and lit a fire to heat the water.

If there were onlookers around, she wouldn’t have been able to do such a bold act.
But here, there were bark trees surrounding them like a folding screen, and no guests came to visit.
Amelia dragged the wooden tub full of warm water to the front of the yard, and behind her, Siwoo walked out in his underwear and a gown.

“Are we bathing here?”
“Yes, would you like to get in first, Siwoo?”

Amelia took the gown that Siwoo had taken off.
Since they were wearing underwear anyway, she thought it wasn’t that embarrassing, as it wasn’t much different from wearing a swimsuit.
Siwoo stepped onto the wooden tub and slipped inside.
Even though it was spring, the night was quite chilly, but as soon as he soaked in the hot water, warmth and drowsiness washed over him.

“Wait a moment.”

Amelia neatly folded the gown and placed it on the lawn, then began to take off her dress.
Siwoo, perhaps because of the heat of the hot water, had his face flushed red and was forcibly averting his gaze.
Amelia, who had untied the ribbon around her waist, quickly changed into her underwear.
Amelia’s current attire was the white lingerie that had the least amount of exposure among her underwear.
Amelia, walking lightly, also plopped into the tub.

-Splash, splash

The sound of water echoed in the quiet forest.
The wooden tub wasn’t that big.
If Amelia and Siwoo got in together, their skin would inevitably touch.

Siwoo’s eyes took in Amelia’s upper body, which was submerged in the water up to her waist.
Her firm breasts encased in a white bra and her straight, beautifully extended collarbones.
Even her deer-like neckline, which was particularly prominent because her hair was tied up.
It was like a masterpiece created by a genius sculptor with meticulous care, flawless.

“Don’t sit so uncomfortably, sit comfortably.”

Amelia spoke in a gentle voice to Siwoo, who was crouching as if he thought he was almost shrinking.

“But then I’ll… touch Amelia…”
“We sleep together every night, all snuggled up.”

Because at that time, we are clearly wearing clothes… he didn’t bother to answer in detail.
Siwoo stretched out his body a little as Amelia said.
He could feel their smooth skin touching each other.

As Siwoo relaxed, Amelia finally settled her bottom completely on the bottom of the tub.
The water level was up to Siwoo’s chin, and up to Amelia’s chest.

“Can you close your eyes for a moment?”
“Huh? Yes.”

Siwoo obediently closed his eyes at Amelia’s words.

-Snap!

Amelia snapped her fingers like a magician and said to Siwoo.

“Now open them.”

Siwoo’s eyes widened as he slowly opened them.

“Wow…!”

The soft light that had been flowing from the cabin had disappeared.
In the middle of the forest, where there was no light pollution from the city, the light from the cabin, which had been the only source of light, had disappeared, so it should have been very dark.
However.

“It’s so… so beautiful, Amelia…”

The area around the tub was sparkling with a silver glow instead of the reddish light.
The sky surrounded by bark trees was shining with blue stars as if jewels had been scattered.
Siwoo tilted his head back for a long time and looked up at the stars that seemed to be pouring down.

“I don’t think I can count them all…”

The night sky, with not a single cloud, was shining like a well-polished obsidian.

“I wanted to show it to Siwoo too.”

It wasn’t fancy or particularly luxurious, but she wanted to see this scenery with him.
At that moment, Siwoo’s foot, which was blankly extended, pressed firmly against the inside of Amelia’s thigh.
It seemed that because the space was narrow, even if only one person moved, their bodies would bump into each other.

“Ah, I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s okay, I’ll move back.”

Amelia, who had been submerged up to her neck, slightly lifted only her upper body backward.
Thanks to that, Amelia’s upper body, which had been submerged in the water for a while, rose up, parting the water.

“……..”

Siwoo forgot about looking at the stars and stared at Amelia with his mouth open.
Amelia, checking her appearance at his piercing gaze.
There was something Amelia had been mistaken about.
Normal underwear is different from swimwear.

Unlike swimwear, which has a thick lining and is unaffected by water, underwear that has absorbed moisture hangs down and clings to the skin, revealing Amelia’s white skin.
The reason why Siwoo was staring with his pupils shaking was because of that.
From Amelia’s cute nipples to the areola around them, which formed a fresh gradation, could be seen faintly through the white fabric.

“I, I’m sorry.”

Siwoo quickly turned his head away.
Still, the way he glanced at Amelia’s chest with his eyes seemed cute for some reason.
If she were to see him acting like this after they officially started dating, she thought she would feel a vague sense of rejection.

But Amelia realized that her heart was surprisingly calm.
Even though she knew she was showing her upper body, which was practically naked, she didn’t feel any particular shame.
Her heart was pounding, but she didn’t want to cover up, and she didn’t dislike him looking at her.
It was strange.
Was it because he was young?
Or had something in her heart changed?

“Come here. I’ll wash you.”

Amelia scooped up water with her hands and washed Siwoo’s face, who had his eyes tightly closed.
And she carefully washed his hair with a small dipper that she had brought beforehand.
It was something that could be done in an instant with magic.
She didn’t know that each of these slow and inefficient actions would feel so precious again.

Amelia and Siwoo washed their bodies together until the slightly hot water felt cool.

3.
“Phew…”

Siwoo was drinking the cold milk that Amelia had brought, trying to soothe his flushed face.
His fingertips were wrinkled, probably because he had been in the water for quite a long time.

The thought that it would be okay since it was a bath with underwear on was definitely quite naive.
Rather, the way it subtly covered things up stimulated his imagination, and Siwoo had to endure quite a bit of hardship while bathing with his legs crossed.

‘Thank you, Siwoo.’

Siwoo, who had put down the empty milk bottle and was shaking his head with a towel, suddenly remembered what had happened with Amelia this morning.
Amelia’s smile, which had shone like a marigold, which he had been staring at for a long time, lost in thought.
Suddenly, his heart tingled.
The corners of his mouth twitched as if he was about to burst into a silly smile.

“Let’s get a grip.”

Siwoo slapped his cheeks with his hands.
But her bright face was still floating around in his head.
In addition, Amelia’s chest, which he had only known by the touch of his hands until now, but had seen with his eyes today, added to the detail of his recollection.

-Knock knock

He heard a knock.
Amelia’s voice came from beyond the door.

“Siwoo, are you going to sleep together again today?”
“Yes, I’ll change my clothes and come right away.”
“Okay.”

Even though they had only exchanged a short question and answer, he felt his body twisting for no reason.
Because when he slept with Amelia, she would let him touch her breasts as much as he wanted.
The thought that they would be sleeping together because it was late made him recall her alluring appearance from yesterday.
These were somewhat stimulating sights for a boy who was very interested in the opposite sex.

The way Amelia, who had been like a pure and benevolent teacher, trembled every time he fiddled with her nipples, gave Siwoo a strange sense of conquest.
Would he be allowed to do it again today?
Rather than a sticky lust, Siwoo felt his lower body twitch with intense curiosity.

Siwoo, who had changed into the beige pajamas that Amelia had brought, knocked on Amelia’s door with a pounding heart.

“Come in.”

When he opened the creaking wooden door, he saw a triangular window that followed the shape of the roof.
On the bed, which was placed as if the window was the headboard, Amelia was snuggled inside the blanket, leaning against the pillow.
Her beautiful hair rustled in the moonlight.

“Siwoo, are you still afraid of sleeping alone?”
“Ah, no. It’s not that…”

There was no way that Siwoo, who was as naive as they come, could say that he just liked sleeping with Amelia.
Amelia gave a small smile to Siwoo, who was hesitating.

“Siwoo.”
“Yes?”
“Why did you look at my chest earlier?”
“Huh…?”
“When we were bathing.”

Siwoo turned pale at Amelia’s direct question.
No matter what their relationship was, it was rude to look at someone’s body carelessly.
So, he had tried his best to suppress his gaze, which was instinctively drawn to her chest, but Amelia had noticed everything.

“I, ah, that is…”

Siwoo was at a loss.
He was afraid that he would be scolded, but Amelia shook her head at him.

“I’m not angry.”
“I’m sorry…”

Siwoo, standing next to Amelia with his hands respectfully clasped together, lowered his head as if he was ashamed.
He was very embarrassed by the fact that she had noticed.

“Will you tell me honestly?”
“……..”

After hesitating for a moment, Siwoo carefully opened his mouth, realizing that her voice didn’t sound that angry.

“I wanted to… see… but I didn’t try to look, my eyes just went there on their own…”
“Siwoo, it’s okay. I told you I’m not scolding you. Raise your head.”

Siwoo, encouraged by her gentle words that seemed to calm his flustered state, slowly raised his head.
Amelia was still sitting with her back against the pillow, sending Siwoo a warm gaze.

“Siwoo, thank you. For giving me such a wonderful flower crown.”
“Ah, yes. I’ll make you another one next time.”
“Yes, I’ll look forward to it.”

He scratched his head, feeling awkward at her gaze.
A slightly awkward atmosphere lingered because the conversation had stopped for a moment.
Amelia cleared her throat and looked at Siwoo and said.

“I know I’m not supposed to do this.”

Rustle.
The sound of a white blanket being pulled back was heard.
Amelia had lowered the blanket that she had been holding up to her chin while sitting.

And at the same time, her upper body, with nothing on, was revealed.
It wasn’t at the level of the shape being revealed through the clothes, or the inside being visible because of the wet underwear.
It was just naked.
Amelia’s breasts, shaped like a sweet peach and slightly raised, were exposed to the air without a single thread of obstruction.

Amelia’s breasts, which looked like sweet peaches, swayed gently every time she covered her mouth as if she was shy.

“But, I want to do what Siwoo wants too.”
