“Jeff. Fasten your seatbelt.”

“Okay. Okay. ”

I answered Shine’s words dryly and pressed my face against the window.

This was the first time Shine, not Amy, drove, so I wanted to see her driving skills.

A body that glides along without shaking, and smooth cornering.

I couldn’t help but be amazed at his dazzling driving skills, and it was hard to tell when he had developed such great driving skills.

Just as the car stopped at the traffic light, Shine reached out and tied my body with the seat belt.

As the stuffy strings wrapped around my body, my lips pouted out in frustration.

As the girl’s disgruntled face was dimly reflected in the window, Shine smiled faintly.

“We’re almost there, so just hold on a little longer.”

“Ugh…”

I started to organize my clothes at Shine’s words.

It’s a reunion with friends after a long time.

I needed to check if there was anything wrong with my clothes or if they looked strange.

The pure white one-piece dress my mom had prepared for me looked great on me, but the accessories were the problem.

Should I wear a headband or put a pin in my bangs to hold them in place?

I looked into the small hand mirror and thought for a while, then Shine smiled faintly and put a pin in my hair.

A pretty, sparkly flower headband was stuck into her hair, and her bangs, which had felt a little awkward, were fixed in place.

“Hmm. Are you okay?”

No matter how much I judged myself by looking in the mirror, I felt that other people’s gaze was better than mine, so I turned my face here and there and asked.

It was Rain who answered that question.

He popped out from the backseat, nodded, and shouted.

“Jeff is so pretty!”

Of course I appreciated the compliment, but I felt a little embarrassed saying it so loudly.

I started to get a little worried that maybe Rain would be like this in other places too.

“Ahem, thank you…”

While driving, Shine also glanced at me and smiled slightly as she praised me.

“It suits you well, it’s cool.”

I smiled broadly at Shine’s compliment.

This is because he understood my desire to hear compliments that I was cool rather than compliments that I was pretty.

I spent a long time shaking my feet and looking out the window.

The car, which had been driving along the road, passed the highway and entered a quiet mountain road.

Of course, even though it was a mountain road, it was paved so there was no bumping.

“They’re all here.”

“Wow!”

At Shine’s answer, Rain got excited and started jumping around in the backseat.

It seemed like the seat belt was unbuckled.

I also looked out the window.

A huge and luxurious pension hanging on the side of a mountain.

A huge red star twinkles, recognizable even from a distance.

“Is this mountain Appleton’s?”

“I guess so?”

At my words, Shine took out her phone and started searching.

In fact, this area was listed as belonging to the Red Star family.

A car driving along the road enters a parking lot.

Maybe it was because I arrived a little earlier than the appointed time.

The parking lot was quiet.

After parking the car in a suitable place, Shine got out of the car.

I also unbuckled my seatbelt and got out.

The characteristic mountain air and humid smell without using a filter.

A breeze blowing quietly tickles my cheek.

Is it because there is a valley nearby?

The calm breeze was mixed with the scent of water.

As I was sniffing around and looking around, someone came walking from far away.

Her aqua-colored hair flutters in the wind.

I stared at her blankly.

Long, stretched-out legs and confident eyes.

The appearance reminded me of Appleton in the past.

As I was swallowing hard, Appleton came closer, smiled brightly, and waved.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Appleton!”

Appleton’s gaze shifts from Shine to me, and then to Lane next to him.

She furrowed her eyebrows as if she was a little surprised, but didn’t say anything else.

I grabbed the strap of my bag and hurried over to Appleton.

“Oh, it’s huge~”

Appleton had grown so large that you might have passed it by without noticing it if you had seen it in passing on the street.

Is this 7 years?

Except for Shine, the people around me hadn’t changed much, so it was hard to feel the passage of time, but seeing Appleton made me realize that a lot of time had passed.

“You’re early. And I thought you wouldn’t come…”

At Appleton’s words, Shine stepped forward and answered.

“Because Jeff wanted to come.”

“Of course, this is Jeff.”

I nodded to Appleton’s words.

Appleton also seemed confused, as it had been seven years since he had seen me and Shine.

But still, it was a word I didn’t like.

I turned my head with my arms crossed.

Appleton smiled slightly at my appearance and took out a candy from his pocket.

This is my favorite lemon flavored candy.

“Yes.”

I pretended not to be able to resist the apology Appleton offered me.

As expected, Appleton knows how to please me.

Isn’t this what a friend is?

As I opened the candy and put it in my mouth, Rain, who was standing next to me, looked at me with envy.

Of course, Appleton didn’t miss that gaze.

Another candy pops out of her hand and is handed to Lane.

“It reminds me of the old days and it’s good…”

Appleton looked at Lane and me, who had candy in their mouths, and smiled happily.

I too couldn’t stop smiling because old memories came to mind.

“Shall we go inside first?”

“Yeah!”

I nodded my head to Appleton’s words.

As I exited the parking lot along Appleton, a large pension came into view.

It was a really cool place with a swimming pool made by remodeling a valley and a U-shaped structure surrounding it.

As I was watching in admiration, I heard a splashing sound coming from the pool at my feet.

It seemed like the friends who arrived first were enjoying swimming.

“Aren’t the other kids here yet?”

“Yeah. I don’t think everyone will be able to come. I even called the Prince’s rider, so I think there will be a lot of rooms left.”

“I see.”

I nodded at Appleton’s answer.

Even if everyone Appleton invited came, there didn’t seem to be a shortage of rooms.

I followed Appleton’s directions, trying to appease my regret, and she showed me the largest room.

“The three of you will share a room, right?”

“Yeah!”

Lane was the first to answer Appleton’s question.

It was really cute to see her nodding and shaking her full chick bag.

“Then this would be good. It’s the best room.”

“Thank you!”

Appleton nodded and left the room, saying he had something to prepare.

I looked around blankly, then began to unpack my bag and take out my luggage.

After unpacking, changing into comfortable clothes, and going outside.

I was sitting on the railing, feeling the cool breeze blowing in from the large valley, when suddenly I felt myself floating.

While I was confused, a familiar scent hit me.

As I was trembling in the refreshing scent of raspberries, I heard a small laugh in my ear.

“Hello?”

“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!”

I was startled and twisted around by the appearance of an unexpected character.

However, the person who caught me didn’t show himself, as if he was trying to play a joke.

I shouted, moving my body wildly.

“PRIN!!!”

Prince, my cat has appeared.

The smell of a cat that I smelled after 7 years was just as fresh as I remembered.

Prin smiled slightly at my words and let me down.

After safely landing on the floor, I turned around and looked at Prin.

Prince’s height has grown to an incomparable size compared to before.

By eye, he looked to be a little over 170 cm tall.

In this case, I may have gotten smaller and looked bigger, but it was still big.

As I was taken aback by the unexpected size of the cat, she crouched down and made eye contact with me.

“Senior, you haven’t changed.”

Smile.

The sight of Prince smiling slightly was truly aspirational.

I was captivated by her naturally captivating smile and stared at her for a long time.

“Princess.”

“Oops.”

Shine, who had finished unpacking, walked out of the room and called Prin.

Prin lowered his head at Shine’s languidly gaze.

Shine smiled slightly at the sight of Prince like that, then walked past me and hugged me.

“Long time no see. How have you been?”

“Yes!”

Prince began to answer Shine’s question as if he had been waiting for it.

Starting with a simple greeting, and then talking about the past, Prin, who had been observing the situation, cautiously asked a question.

“I mean, the 7 years that have passed this time?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you know anything?”

“Why?”

“That, that… I lost contact with the doctor completely…”

Prince answered as if he had no energy.

Shine opened her eyes wide at Prince’s answer and asked back.

“Doctor?”

“Yes… Dr. Heblum said…”

At Prin’s answer, Shine, who had been thinking about something, nodded and said.

“Sorry, I don’t know much about it. But if you hear from that doctor, let me know right away.”

“Yes!”

As we spent time talking to Prince, the number of people began to increase.

As if it were true that he had called the knights of the Prince, unfamiliar faces began to appear one after another.

I felt awkward, but I didn’t go inside.

“Shall we take a picture?”

Appleton, who brought a large camera as if recalling an old memory, asked.

Since there was nothing I couldn’t do, I nodded and she set up a large tripod and fixed the camera on it.

As for the people I was close with, it was just Appleton, me, Shine, Lane, and Prin.

The kids around him made eye contact as if they wanted to take a picture with him, but Appleton ignored them all.

I guess he did that because he was thinking of me.

Click click-

The sound of the camera shutter captured this moment in a photo.

I wasn’t too happy with the photos saved in a small format, but they were passable.

As I nodded while strictly examining the photos, Appleton sighed in relief and cleared his chest.

After taking the photo, I picked up a glass of champagne from a small table and started sipping it.

Smooth and refreshing taste.

As the softly bursting carbonation stimulated my tongue, my face began to heat up little by little.

As the mood improved and the heat from my flushed face cooled, I began to feel the gazes of those around me.

The gazes fixed on me, curiosity, surprise, and envy.

But it didn’t come easily.

I think it was probably because of my grandfather’s power behind me.

There was something that didn’t change with time.

I sighed and sat down next to Prin.

Prin, who was lying there listlessly like a cat, was wearing a swimsuit, but she was already soaking wet, as if she had just come out of the water.

“Senior, don’t you swim?”

“I don’t have a swimsuit.”

“You can just borrow it from Appleton.”

“There’s nothing that fits?”

I answered by comparing Appleton’s body to my own.

If I wore Appleton’s swimsuit, it would definitely flow down.

It was clear that no swimsuit could fit these tiny, gum-like breasts except for children’s ones.

In my excitement, I forgot my swimsuit, even though I had been preparing for a month.

I smacked my lips in regret.

“Jeff!”

“Huh?”

At that moment, Rain, who was happily drinking alcohol a little further away, suddenly showed his reddened face.

Why, I wondered, and when I turned my head, Rain answered with his nostrils flaring as if he was very excited.

“There it is!”

“What?”

“Swimsuit!”

I tilted my head at Rain’s words.

You have a swimsuit, what swimsuit are you talking about?

The moment I thought that, Rain ran over to me.

As I was blankly staring at his back, Rain went upstairs, took out a small bag, and stood up against the railing.

At first glance, the people around them started to murmur at the sight of Lane, who seemed dangerous.

“Here it is!”

Rain just jumped down.

Her bright yellow hair flutters and water droplets gather around her body.

The water droplets that had gathered quickly slid down like a slide, guiding Rain’s small body to where I was.

Choaaaak-

The sight of Rain pouring down, scattering water in all directions, drew cheers and applause from those around him.

Rain handed me his bag with a smug look on his face.

“It’s a swimsuit!”

I received the small bag with a bewildered expression.

“Is it mine?”

“Yeah!”

I just blinked at Rain’s answer.

Why on earth is Rain holding my swimsuit?

No, to be exact, this wasn’t my swimsuit.

That means that it was a swimsuit that Rain had prepared separately.

I took my swimsuit out of my bag.

Two thin pieces of cloth hang from the tip of your fingers.

bikini…

“Why did you prepare something like this…?”

“I wanted Jeff to wear it!”

At Rain’s confident answer, Prin, who was next to him, covered his mouth and stepped back slightly.

I put tiny pieces of cloth on my body.

It was a swimsuit that gave the impression that if you moved around too vigorously, you would see a little bit of it because the area was so small.

“Hey, are you telling me to wear this?”

“Yeah!”

Rain answered my question with great excitement.

I stroked my cheek and fell into thought.

It seemed like this was the only swimsuit I could wear right now.

I turned my head to check Shine’s expression, and saw that she was continuing her conversation with the other children.

I finally swallowed my saliva and nodded.

Then, Rainin started jumping around with his arms spread wide.

He looked happy.

As I got up from my seat to change my clothes, Rain followed behind me.

Prince waved his hand and said goodbye.

The room we arrived at like that.

I took off my clothes and put on the swimsuit that Rain had given me.

The straps of a pure white swimsuit, matching her pure white skin, are draped over her skin.

The narrow area gently covered my chest, but when I moved violently, light pink flesh peeked out.

What about below?

I thought the skirt was small, but I never expected that my butt would be exposed so much.

Only the front part is slightly covered, leaving the pure white buttocks exposed.

Covering her butt with her hand actually created an even more embarrassing atmosphere.

If I cover my butt, it feels like my chest will be exposed.

This, this was definitely not a swimsuit.

No, the swimsuit is right…

I never expected that a micro bikini would exist that would fit me.

As I was gulping and looking at the mirror, Rain, who seemed extremely excited, staggered over to me.

“Je, Jeffuuuu…”

“Hee, heeek…”

I stepped back in horror at Rain’s appearance.

He didn’t forget to wrap his body in the large towel that fell next to him.

The sight of Rain walking towards me with his tongue licking out was truly terrifying.

I let out a short scream and ran out of the room, the cool wind hitting my body.

I shivered from the strange sensation and quickly ran to Shine.

The only one who could save me now was Shine.

“Hey, Sister!”

I ran quickly with a towel wrapped around my body and Shine hugged me.

“What’s going on?”

I opened the front of the towel slightly to show Shine my swimsuit without attracting anyone’s attention.

“Rain, this is the swimsuit that Rain gave me… This is weird…”

Gulp-

The sound of swallowing saliva was loud enough to be annoying.

I stared blankly at Shine.

Shine’s face, which had been drinking and talking for quite some time, had a faint blush on it.

“Uh, sis…?”

Shine didn’t answer.

Instead, the arms that held me tightened.

As if he would never let go, squeak.

I felt a little suffocated and twisted my body here and there, and Shine’s rough breathing came into my ear.

“Uh, Uh… Where, where are you going?”

Shine started to move.

He held me in his arms, not caring about the gazes of those around him.

As they were walking, Appleton came up to them and Shine said,

“Don’t come looking for me until morning.”

“Huh? You’re already sleeping?”

“Yeah.”

Appleton hesitated and stepped back at Shine’s words, which gave off a strange vibe.

I reached out to Appleton, struggling.

No, I was trying to stretch it out.

But, Shine was faster.

He covered my mouth and applied force to prevent me from moving.

This is absolutely it.

I swallowed dry saliva at the strange smell coming from Shine’s arms.

If I kept being dragged along like this, it was clear that I wouldn’t be able to get out until morning.
