Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love

It was the day Eun-ha had been eagerly waiting for: the day to visit the swimming pool.

In other words, it was the day to see Eun-ha in her swimsuit. Despite trying not to, I couldnt help but feel excited.

After all, who wouldnt be? My beautiful girlfriend even went on a diet to show off her bikini.

With my bag packed with a swimsuit and a tube, I arrived at Eun-has house, feeling joyful.

As I rang the doorbell and waited, today, it was Eunwoo Hyung, her brother, who opened the door.

Ah, Han-gyeol is here?

Yes. Is Eun-ha around?

Shes in the middle of a final training, or whatever its called... Come see for yourself. Its quite a sight.

Huh?

Following Eunwoo Hyung into the living room, I saw Eun-ha busily doing sit-ups.

Hi, Han-gyeol~

Eun-ha and Hyun-joo Noona, greeted me cheerfully, as Hyun-joo Noona held onto Eun-has calves.

Hello. How are you, Eun-ha?

Han-gyeol-! Just a moment...! Im almost done...!

Eun-ha, you have ten more to go!

That many?! Ugh...! Okay!

Eun-ha finished her sit-ups and collapsed on the living room floor.

Hi, Han-gyeol.

Hey. Arent you going to be too tired for the swimming pool?

Its, its just a final one...

At Eun-has words, Hyun-joo Noona burst into laughter.

Her laughter filled the living room.

Hey, Unnie! Dont laugh!

Sorry...! Its just too cute...! Doing sit-ups on the day youre going to the swimming pool to show your boyfriend your bikini...! Its just adorable. What do you think, Han-gyeol?

I think its adorably cute. You must be tired from exercising since the morning. Did you have lunch?

I had a salad~ Lets rest a bit before we leave!

Eun-ha looked up at me, beaming with joy.

Did Han-gyeol see which swimsuit Eun-ha picked out?

No. Eun-ha said she would show it at the swimming pool.

Oho~ So Eun-ha said that? Shed reveal it at the swimming pool?

It has to be at the swimming pool, or else it loses its meaning!

You must be really looking forward to it, huh? Excited to see your girlfriend in her swimsuit?

Hyun-joo Noona looked at me with a sly grin.

I averted my gaze slightly and mumbled.

Of course...

Hahaha! Why are you two so adorable?

Unnie! Dont tease Han-gyeol! Han-gyeol, lets leave now!

Okay. Well be going then.

Have fun and make sure to compliment Eun-ha~

Will do~

Together with Eun-ha, I left the house and headed for the bus stop.

How are your legs, Eun-ha? Are they okay?

Yeah, theyre fine. They loosened up after resting a bit.

Still, dont overdo it, okay? It would be bad if you got a cramp while playing in the water.

Ill be sticking with Han-gyeol the whole time, so it should be fine. Oh? Here comes the bus. Lets get on.

Eun-ha seemed even more excited about the swimming pool today, smiling brightly as she boarded the bus.

We sat next to each other at the back of the quiet bus, holding hands.

Are you that excited?

Yeah. Ive been waiting for this day for two weeks~ Im so thrilled. Cant wait to splash around with Han-gyeol.

Alright. Lets have a great time there.

Upon arriving, we immediately entered the water park.

There should be a central meeting plaza. Lets meet up in front of there.

Okay. I wont be long. See you in a bit~

I watched Eun-ha enter the changing room, and then I went in myself.

After showering and changing into my swimsuit, I headed straight to our meeting spot.

I had thought it would be less crowded on a weekday, but there were more people than I expected. There were families and quite a few couples.

It wasnt long before I heard Eun-has voice beside me.

Han-gyeol.

Ah, youre here?

Excited at the prospect of finally seeing Eun-ha, I quickly turned my head. The sight of her standing there, shy and hesitant, left me completely frozen.

Eun-ha was clad in a white bikini, with a sheer white beach cardigan draped over it. Her fair skin was on full display, and her damp hair added a touch of allure. She looked even more beautiful and lovely than I had imagined, leaving me speechless. All I could do was cover my agape mouth with my hand.

How... how does it look? Say something, please.

Eun-ha couldnt look me straight in the eyes, seemingly embarrassed. I struggled to find words to express my feelings but managed to convey my emotions as best as I could.

Youre really... beyond words beautiful. It suits you incredibly well. Youre just so pretty...

Really? It doesnt look weird or anything?

No. Not at all. Absolutely not. It suits you perfectly. Youre so pretty that I can hardly look at you.

No, dont... I wore it because I wanted you to see it! Its meaningless if you dont look.

Eun-has words were endearingly sweet. Seeing her smile happily, my heart kept fluttering.

Ill try. Shall we start with the lazy river?

Yeah, lets go. I really want to get into the water.

Eun-ha came to my side.

I knew it already, but Eun-has skin is incredibly fair...

My eyes kept drifting to Eun-ha in her swimsuit.

Even after we entered the lazy river, I couldnt help but keep looking at Eun-ha.

Do you know how to swim, Han-gyeol?

Me? Not really. Barely manage to float. What about Eun-ha?

I think I learned to swim in kindergarten, but Ive forgotten it all. Did you wait long?

Not really? I didnt wait much, and you came quicker than I thought.

What were you doing while waiting?

Just looking around the pool. Why?

When I came earlier, I saw there were many pretty girls here... Han-gyeol.

Eun-ha looked at me with a slightly annoyed expression.

Yeah. Why?

Only look at me... okay?

Wow - shes just too adorable.

Hearing Eun-has words, my mind went blank.

Her expression and tone were so endearing that my heart beat even faster than before.

Despite being in the pool, I felt a warmth spreading through my body, and my face flushed.

I will... only look at Han-gyeol too.

Eun-ha...! If you say more, my heart might really burst.

That would be troublesome... I cant live without Han-gyeol now.

Eun-has continuous words made my head spin.

So this is what it feels like to be so happy you could die.

Eun-ha.

Yes?

I really love you. The most in the world. Ill love you until I die.

I love you too. So, so much.

Im burning up. I need to cool my face.

Your face is really red right now, Han-gyeol.

Its all because of Eun-ha.

Is it? I didnt know~

Eun-ha and I giggled as we made our way around the lazy river.

Han-gyeol, lets go on the water slide. The one for two people over there. Its not too crowded.

Yeah. Lets try everything here.

We have to ride everything we can together~

Right. I want to ride everything with Eun-ha too.

There werent many people waiting, so our turn came quicker than expected.

Han-gyeol, Ill sit in front.

Okay. Ill be right behind you.

Eun-ha climbed onto the tube first, and I followed. But as soon as I saw Eun-has pale back, I quickly looked up at the ceiling. It was just too much...

Here we go~

As the staff member pushed the tube, we were sucked into the slide.

Eun-ha screamed with excitement as we zoomed down the dark tunnel of the water slide.

Ahahaha-! Its so fast-!

After the thrilling ride, Eun-ha took off her cap and fixed her hair.

Ugh, my hair is a mess.

Watching Eun-ha tidy her bangs and re-tie her hair, I fell for her all over again. I couldnt take my eyes off her delicate, pale neckline and shoulders.

Youre really... beautiful. Like a goddess.

Really? Youre so generous with compliments today.

Responding to my words, Eun-ha approached me with a smile.

Your cap is crooked too, Han-gyeol. Let me fix it for you.

As Eun-ha closed the distance between us, I instinctively raised my arms slightly. Eun-ha, seemingly unaware of the meaning behind my action, tidied up my hair and adjusted my cap for me.

Han-gyeol, shall we go around the lazy river again?

Yeah. Lets take another round and then go for hotdogs. Im getting a bit hungry.

Sounds good. Come on, lets hurry.

Eun-ha grabbed my hand and led me straight back to the lazy river. We were floating leisurely in the flowing water when suddenly Eun-ha let out a short gasp and looked at me.

Whats wrong?

Ah! Han-gyeol...!

Yes? What is it?

I think I have a cramp in my leg. It hurts...!

Which leg? Come closer.

As I approached Eun-ha, she placed her arm over my shoulder.

Which leg is it? Ill massage it for you.

Just as I was about to massage Eun-has leg, she leaned close to my ear and whispered in a very soft voice.

It was a lie.

Then she embraced me.

What, what-?

Shh- People will think its a cramp, so lets just hug for a moment.

I couldnt help but swallow hard at Eun-has bold move.

Youre really daring...

You wanted to hug earlier, didnt you?

I thought you hadnt noticed...

Actually, I wanted to be hugged too. So, I caught on.

I admit defeat...

I carefully embraced Eun-ha in return.
