27 – 27. The Golden Sun Hides the Doll

Sure enough, there was In-yeong, a familiar face right after leaving the men’s restroom.

In the past few days, she had been someone I couldn’t forget, no matter how hard I tried.

“Jack!!”

I desperately hoped that Raul had made even the slightest mistake, but as expected, this world doesn’t flow the way I want.

I already expected that Lucia would be waiting in front of the place where I escaped to avoid her.

“Now that classes are over, I can go back to the dormitory, but my roommate transferred and the room happens to be empty…”

By the way, Fate is gone now. I also anticipated that she would comfortably invite me to her room.

Originally, Fate and Lucia were supposed to share a room, but since Fate died, Lucia ended up having the room to herself. It’s only natural.

“Lucia is extremely lonely…”

It was obvious that she would call me even if she was bored, and she actually did.

Other people think that Fate transferred rather than died, so they don’t feel uneasy because of Fate for no reason.

Indeed, it’s the most ideal environment for her to call me.

“Oh right, I was trying to escape.”

Seeing Lucia reminded me of the original purpose I had forgotten.

I was planning to pretend to go to the restroom during the last class and quietly escape.

But because I met Raul, my mind was distracted towards that direction, and I couldn’t properly think about escaping and ended up getting caught with no motivation.

“A method to escape…”

The situation where Lucia recognizes me and approaches me unexpectedly, there didn’t seem to be any way to get out of here, but I started racking my brain as much as possible.

If I go forward, I’ll obviously get caught, and the back is the men’s restroom, but I can’t stay trapped in there indefinitely.

However, I don’t know what Lucia might do if I go to her dormitory, so it’s safer to hide in a secure restroom.

“Ugh!”

At that moment, something forcefully pushed me from behind.

When I turned around, the instigator of the attack was none other than Raul.

As I looked at him with a face full of betrayal, he snorted and waved his hand as if to say goodbye to me.

You bastard, someday I’ll hit the back of your head hard.

“hehehe.”

It only lasted a moment thinking such thoughts, as Lucia came running towards me and hugged me.

Lately, the frequency of her burying her face in my chest and rubbing it has increased, and every time this happens, I become extremely embarrassed.

“Let go of me…!”

Even though I try to forcefully push her away, I can’t because of her strength, which is several times greater than mine.

It’s like being caught in a flytrap and just waiting to be digested like a small bug.

“Do you not like it? If you don’t let go, what are you going to do?”

I struggle and try to push her as much as possible, but Lucia never budges.

In the embrace as solid as a fortress, I eventually give up resistance and reluctantly relax my body.

“Right, he’s kind.”

Lucia, who seemed somewhat self-absorbed, pressed her face against my chest for a while, then lifted her head and grabbed my sleeve, pulling me somewhere.

“Okay! Shall we go to our dorm now?”

…Please save me.

“Who are they? It hasn’t even been a week since the semester started, and they’re already bringing a guy to the dorm…”

“Yeah, how can they be like this in less than a week?”

No, it’s not like that.

It’s not the kind of relationship you guys are thinking.

I’m being dragged around like livestock on the way to the slaughterhouse. What about that looks like a couple to you?

If someone looks like that, they should visit an eye doctor.

“Don’t just stand there; help me!”

I wonder if they know that I’m just a simple victim.

Even if I want to ask for help, I can’t get away with my sleeve firmly in their grip.

I’m afraid to yell for help from others around.

“hehehe, we’re here.”

Thinking about all kinds of things, Lucia and I arrived at the eNT*Rance of the dormitory, which I had been to once before.

Lucia, after dragging me along for so long, put me in one place and began to take out the key to open the door.

I hope nothing bad happens when we go inside.

These days, it seems more challenging because of Lucia than the episodes. I just wished not to encounter any more difficulties here.

*Click!*

The door swung wide open, and at the same time, loud voices echoed from the dormitory.

“Wow… look at that, they seem to be going in.”

“If they were going in there, why did they act like that outside?”

“They used to stick together at the academy, but I never expected this…”

These people are insane, really.

Is it such a big deal for a guy to enter a girls’ dormitory once?

Three days should be enough to become friendly and feel comfortable enough to visit each other!

Why are they thinking in that direction?

“….”

At that moment, I wonder if Lucia also heard the muffled sounds from behind.

With a swift turn, she emerged from her room and grabbed my sleeve, walking briskly.

“Yeah, you don’t like those baseless rumors either, right? Let’s clarify together…”

“Hey, you guys.”

…What are you doing right now?

I immediately thought of covering her mouth and shifted towards her, but Lucia was quicker.

“This one’s mine, so if you dare touch it, you’ll regret it, got it?”

Lucia’s words were much faster than my attempts to intervene.

“She’s mine, so why don’t we ignore whatever we do inside? We just came to hang out, right?”

With that, Lucia turned abruptly, dragging me into her room and slamming the door shut.

Bang! The sound echoed, a clear expression of her anger without any attempt at restraint.

Isn’t this wall going to crack? I’ll have to check on it when I leave.

“…Huh? Did you clean up?”

Stepping cautiously into the room under Lucia’s strength, I noticed a slight change in the atmosphere compared to before.

Last time, it was a girly room filled with cute things, but now only a few simple pieces of furniture were placed.

If there was something that hadn’t changed much, it was probably the cute bear plushie with stitched-on patches.

“Uh… Excuse me for a moment…”

As I sat on the bed, feeling a sense of relaxation, I noticed the changed ambiance in the room.

It was more comfortable now. I didn’t pay much attention before, busy with Fate and Grayson, but the bed was incredibly soft.

Lost in the comfortable feeling, I turned my eyes and saw Lucia, sitting on Fate’s bed, looking at me with a satisfied expression.

Suddenly realizing the situation, I was sitting on Lucia’s bed.

“Oh, right. This is Lucia’s bed, huh? In that case, I’ll go over there…”

Although I brought it up, thinking it might be uncomfortable, unexpectedly, Lucia clapped her hands and said,

“No! Keep using that one! You can even lie down!”

She then sprawled on Fate’s bed as if she had become the owner now that Fate was absent.

It looks so comfortable. The dorms will be rearranged soon, probably following the class schedule.

Before that happens, enjoy it to the fullest. You seem like a lucky one.

“But, where did those doll-like things go? They were cute to look at.”

Now that my mind had eased a bit, I looked around and said, Lucia, trembling slightly, began to avoid my gaze.

“I… I don’t know…?”

She spoke unnaturally, with an awkward laugh.

It must be embarrassing for her to admit that her preference is for cute things.

And yet, she shamelessly whistled as if to show off her cuteness, which left me bewildered.

It was so obvious that she was acting, quite a coNT*Rast to the flawless performance she had displayed so far.

‘Either this is acting too, or the previous appearances weren’t acting.’

If it’s the former, I’m truly witnessing an astounding talent right in front of me. If it’s the latter… well, that means she genuinely likes me.

“No way…”

I shook my head in disbelief, but somehow, the evidence supporting the latter opinion was flooding my mind.

From her subtle actions to the increased closeness between us lately, and the various words that made my heart race.

Honestly, I’d prefer it if she didn’t feel this way about me.

As I mentioned, I detest people involved in NT*R or infidelity.

I believe that such individuals can easily commit the same acts without hesitation later on.

Lucia had her fair share of affairs, focusing solely on Heidi’s lovers. Even though she had a few encounters.

‘So, I wish she didn’t complicate things like this.’

It would have been better if she just remained a trashy character.

I don’t understand why she confuses and shakes people’s hearts like this.

If she hadn’t shown interest in me after the shock and injury I suffered from the aristocratic young ladies’ insults and cursing.

I wouldn’t have any reason to ponder over this.

‘…I’m getting more passionate about it because I don’t dislike it.’

I wish I could just hate her, but no, I was definitely repulsed at first.

Recently, I’ve found myself developing an inexplicable fondness for her, and my interest keeps shifting towards her.

Thoughts of wanting her to show more interest and thoughts of wanting her to stop showing interest.

I felt conflicting emotions, and as I searched for a simple snack to ease my frustration, I opened a cupboard.

“Ahh! eeek!!”

“Why is this here, Lucia?”

Inside were cute dolls that could have distracted my complicated thoughts.

I turned my gaze and thoughts in that direction, speaking in a casual tone as if I had no worries.

“Did you hide it from me because you were embarrassed to show it?”

While I was speaking, I could feel my thighs slightly tingling every time our eyes met.

It was only then that I realized that I had become not only a lemon assistant but also a thigh assistant.

So, I knew I was starting to like her little by little, but I just didn’t want to admit it.

Even though this is not the kind of woman I want, it’s clear that it will be.

“Uh… uh…”

…Why am I making such useless and cute dilemmas?

You’re such a bad woman, Kyeom Tae-yang.
