Chapter 749: Do Yehee’s Clumsy Plan (4)

The private pool Do Yehee prepared was a swimming pool of quite a large scale, even more so than I had expected.

Since it was called a private pool, I had been thinking it would be roughly 16 meters, or at best, a pool around 25 meters in length.

But, could it really be that they would call a proper 50-meter pool a private pool? Although there were only 2 lanes, I was grateful just for this much.

“Oh, since you called it a private pool, I wasn’t expecting much, but it’s quite spacious compared to what I thought?”

“…Of course. It’s the private pool of a hotel run by the Dokyung Group, so this scale is only natural…”

As soon as I voiced my honest impression, Do Yehee, who was lying on the sunbed, followed up with a haughty line. I figured she was probably going to talk about how great the Dokyung Group was again, but her words suddenly cut off mid-sentence.

“Huh? Natural, what?”

“…Oh, it’s nothing.”

When I asked Do Yehee again, who was looking at me with a somewhat vacant expression, she quickly averted her gaze, pretending she hadn’t been looking at me, and turned her head away.

As that happened, my gaze naturally turned towards her body, and immediately the swimsuit Do Yehee was wearing came into view.

Unlike Sihee, who was wearing a daring sling-shot swimsuit, the design itself was just a plain bikini. It was so simple it felt like her usual red dress had been cut into a bikini shape and made into this.

However, since her original figure was already so good, even wearing a bikini, her body naturally showed alluring curves, so I conveyed the impression that it looked ordinarily good on her.

“Your bikini is pretty.”

“Yes?”

“The swimsuit suits you well.”

“Ah, yes…”

…What a lukewarm response.

Well, I didn’t exactly praise her to receive thanks or anything. After confirming her moderate reaction, I immediately jumped into the pool.

After all, my purpose for coming here wasn’t to admire Do Yehee’s swimsuit, but instead of the gym, to move my body in the pool and relieve fatigue.

-Splash! Whoosh! Whoooosh!

Previously, unlike the swimming match I had with Sihee, instead of performing the bizarre act of leaping tens of meters through the air, I dove in normally, cut through the water, and stretched my arms forward.

Compared to swimming in the sea before, I felt a slight sensation of my body being heavier, but it wasn’t enough to hinder my movements.

After that, as soon as I entered the 2-lane, 50-meter pool and completed one round trip, I briefly expressed my thanks to Do Yehee, who was lying on the sunbed quietly watching me.

“Thanks, Yehee.”

“Y-yes?!”

“I never thought I could use such a wide pool all by myself, but thanks to you, I’m having a great experience.”

“Ah, ah… So you meant ‘thank you’ in that sense.”

“How long can I use it? If there are other reserved guests, do I have to give it up?”

“Ah, no… You can use it freely for the whole day today… Ah, b-but staying in the water for too long isn’t good either, so it’s best to use it only until lunch…”

“Okay, got it. I’ll just swim until lunch then.”

“…Do as you please.”

If it were up to me, I felt like I could just do swimming training all day long, a thought suddenly crossed my mind, but I had no intention of ignoring the owner who lent me the pool and using it.

After all, being able to use facilities like this alone all morning showed that Yehee had made quite an effort to accommodate me, so I knew it was only right to follow her instructions.

-Whoosh!

After that, cutting through the cool water and warming up briefly in the water for about 30 minutes.

While enjoying the 2-lane, 50-meter pool all by myself, a question suddenly arose in my mind.

“Come to think of it, Yehee, aren’t you coming in?”

“Y-yes?!”

“You went to the trouble of putting on a swimsuit, so I was wondering if you weren’t going to come in. Didn’t you put it on to swim?”

“…I, I just thought you looked so happy, so I didn’t want to disturb you. Besides, I can use this facility anytime I want while staying on this island?”

“Hmm, really…?”

But judging by how you’ve been subtly glancing my way since earlier, that doesn’t seem quite right.

Maybe saying you didn’t want to disturb me was just an impromptu excuse, and there might be another reason why you don’t want to get in the water.

For example, perhaps contrary to appearances, you’re a terrible swimmer (lit. beer bottle) and you don’t want to be found out.

“You just don’t want to come in because you can’t swim, right?”

“…W-what did you say?!”

“Last time when you went out with Sihee, you swam quite well, but you, being Sihee’s older sister, surprisingly seem to have no talent for swimming?”

“W-what kind of blasphemy is that! Right now, I’ll shut that shameless mouth of yours!”

-Splash!

With those words, Do Yehee immediately jumped into the pool where I was.

With a natural dive, she cut through the water using the crawl stroke, and I watched her effortlessly swim forward. It was a moment that easily refuted my assumption that she didn’t want to get in the water because she was a terrible swimmer, contrary to my expectations.

How could she swim so well, yet just moments ago was lying on the sunbed, bouncing around?

While I was thinking that, Do Yehee, who had reached the turn of the 50-meter pool, returned towards me with a triumphant expression, proving she wasn’t a terrible swimmer.

“See? Now you know. It wasn’t because I couldn’t swim that I didn’t come in, isn’t that right?”

“You do. You’re much better than I thought.”

“Still, it’s hard to keep up with Sihee. That kid uses a bow as her main weapon, so the muscles in her hands and arms are much more developed than mine, right? Therefore, the speed at which she cuts through the water with her arms is far greater than mine… siiin?!”

-Splash!

“Yehee?!”

As she was naturally continuing to boast about my younger sister, suddenly Do Yehee’s body submerged beneath the water.

In that moment, unable to comprehend what had happened, as I was panicking, Do Yehee, flailing her arms, managed to climb up and desperately pleaded with me for rescue.

-Splash! Splash!

“My leg… cough!! M-my leg cramped…! Gasp, cough…!! H-help me… cough!!”

…No wonder, it seemed like she jumped in too suddenly.

After Do Yehee spent some time alone with Sung Taekyung in the pool to seduce him.

She recalled the embarrassing display she had put on for him in the pool and quietly clutched her head in the changing room.

“Aaaargh, agh, aaargh…!”

If she could turn back time, she wished she could go back just a few hours; that was the thought running through Do Yehee’s mind.

Why on earth did she jump in without warming up and end up showing such a pathetic display?

Showing off her swimming skills and feeling confident, only to fall to the bottom shortly after, whenever she recalled herself sinking, she felt an unbearable, cringe-worthy shame.

After that, the mood for the pool date was beyond description.

Desperately struggling to reach the surface, flailing her arms and begging Sung Taekyung for her life, kept replaying in her mind, she couldn’t maintain her composure and returned to the sunbed from the pool. All that remained was Sung Taekyung, comfortably swimming diligently alone in the pool, and herself, trying hard to ignore him while stealing glances.

Seeing her pathetic humiliation, Sung Taekyung didn’t bother to invite her into the pool again, and his consideration strangely made her heart ache.

Her plan to make him desire her through her swimsuit and natural skinship in the pool had also gone awry.

“…Well, there’s still time, though.”

Although the attempt at the pool ended in failure, there was still plenty of the day left.

Anyway, the important thing was to seduce him before bedtime.

If she could succeed that far, any previous failures would simply become irrelevant trial and error.

With that thought, her mind calmed, Do Yehee quietly began planning her next move.

“First, we agreed to have lunch together, so I’ll naturally bring it up during the meal. Coincidentally, today is the day a musical team from Ireland is coming for a tour in Malaysia, so after lunch, I could try tempting him this way…”

According to Seolhwa, who had already seen it, it was a musical filled with heart-pounding romance and a touch of erotic elements.

It was exactly the kind of performance I needed to create a slightly risqué atmosphere with Sung Taekyung, so I wanted to arrange the afternoon date around this as much as possible.

“Men just go crazy for romance, you know. Watching it in a private couple’s room, separate from the general seating, wouldn’t be bad either. That beast of a man might even try to pounce on me while engrossed in the performance…”

After making such plans, during lunch, Do Yehee got another chance to redeem herself by naturally suggesting they watch the musical, but unfortunately, she made two mistakes again this time, leading her clumsy plan to failure.

One was that, unlike the men in this world, Sung Taekyung wasn’t an overly emotional man who easily got swept up in a romantic mood just from a single romance movie;

And the other was…

‘What did Christian just say?’

“People say I don’t seem to have a heart. That’s what he said.”

‘And Anastasia?’

“…From now on, I will translate autonomously. I don’t think so. But you…”

In the first place, Sung Taekyung, whose English skills weren’t that great, barely managed to understand the musical with Esila’s help as he translated it, and naturally, he couldn’t get swept up in the emotions during the process.

In the end, between the two of them, the only one who felt a bit more aroused after watching the musical was Do Yehee.
