I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

46 – We’re Not Official Yet

Jack and I have a kiss that has a subtle and refreshing herbal scent.

So, when I playfully run my tongue all over his mouth as if I’m savoring a peppermint candy, it feels amazing.

“We’ve done it more than ten times just today… We can’t do it anymore!”

Of course, Jack doesn’t particularly like such frequent displays of affection.

But, for some reason, the sweet and refreshing kisses with him, combined with a hint of seductiveness, make me feel better the more we do it.

Now, it has become a pattern that after class, we secretly go to a secluded spot and exchange kisses. It has only been three days since our first proper kiss, but if you were to count, we’ve easily exceeded 50 times.

“You don’t seem to dislike it, though, you get all stiff every time we kiss.”

“Ugh, stop it! Stop!”

What I’ve discovered through these kisses is that Jack is subtly kinky. Not that I mind; in fact, I enjoy it. He seems to be trying his best to hide it.

Whenever we return from a kiss, he instinctively moves his hips backward and walks awkwardly. And when I purposely try to get close, there’s a part of his lower abdomen that I can’t help but touch. He can’t hide it.

As I roughly estimated the size by the feeling of it touching my stomach, it seemed to reach up to my belly button.

Hmm, I hope the size doesn’t give me a hard time when I try on the game costume later.

Having such a slightly naughty thought, Jack looked at me with a suspicious gaze and asked.

“Lucia, are you having inappropriate thoughts right now?”

How did he know? Is he a fortune teller?

When I stared at him with doubt, he avoided my gaze and added.

“You’ve been continuously glancing at my lower abdomen as if it’s a bit uncomfortable.”

While saying that, he slightly covered his lower abdomen, and his actions were irresistibly cute.

I wanted to forcefully take his hand and cover it over his blushing face, just to see Jack whimpering.

“Just imagining it feels good…”

Just the thought of Jack stuttering and blushing because of me, with tears streaming down his face…

Wow, it would be so adorable.

Having such curiosity is not a good emotion, but imagining Jack in that state made me feel unexpectedly happy.

“…I’m having strange thoughts again.”

I asked Jack with a sly voice as he grumbled about my expression.

“Jack, do you have any cute tricks you can do?”

After picturing him in that state once, I wanted to see Jack’s cute side no matter what.

Of course, he is already adorable just standing still, but wouldn’t he become even more cute if he did something cute here?

“Jack always tells me I’m cute…”

He seems to be unaware of how cute he looks when he smiles and says such things.

I’m barely holding back the urge to stretch my cheeks and squirm in joy.

“Well, I’ll give it a try, at least…”

Anyway, upon hearing those words, Jack’s expression momentarily froze, then he put both hands above his head and made a rabbit-like pose.

He kept mumbling something, repeatedly trying to speak but stopping midway.

Soon, he gave up on speaking and lightly shook his hands like a rabbit twitching its ears before sayi

“..I don’t find anything cute at all.”

“Yeah, really? Wow, our Jack is cool!”

…”

As I teased Jack, I saw him turn his head and puff up his cheeks slightly.

Every time this happened, a desire would suddenly rise within me to tackle Jack and have him fall beneath me.

But I somehow managed to suppress it and lightly stroked Jack’s cheek to soothe his pouting.

“..It’s because it’s you, Lucia.”

“I also find you cute because it’s you, hehehe.”

“What…what..!”

Ha, I don’t know how many times I’ve said it, but he really is so cute.

To think that this kid is my boyfriend, I am truly fortunate..

“Oh?”

Come to think of it, was I officially dating Jack? I don’t remember saying such a thing.

“Jack, are we dating now?”

“Well, yeah, of course…”

As I asked, Jack, who was flustered, was about to give a confident answer but stopped, his eyes filled with doubt.

Come to think of it, neither of us ever suggested that we should start dating.

We weren’t even dating, yet we were holding hands, hugging, and kissing each other.

“Jack, you’re such a scandalous guy. You took the first kiss of a girl you’re not even dating?”

“But isn’t Lucia the same..”

But now it felt a little awkward to suddenly say that we should start dating.

Confessions are meant to be a moment where the atmosphere is set and both hearts are expressed.

If we confess now, it feels like giving away a 1+1 promotional item at a market.

“We’ve already confirmed each other’s feelings though..”

Because a confession itself carries symbolic meaning, I hesitated to say it impulsively.

I don’t know if Jack feels the same, but he seems unsure of what to say, his unruly hair swirling around.

“Lucia, do you want to go to the beach with just the two of us soon?”

He asked shyly, keeping an eye on my reaction.

..Just the two of us? To the beach?

“Hmm..”

“Is it true that we’re going on a trip and getting a room to have a game?”

Lucia, with a sinister look in her eyes, chuckled and said, “Did you mean it in that way from the beginning? Seems like you’ve misunderstood something.”

“Just like a man, I suppose. This should be enough to make even you unable to resist.” She lightly stroked my back as if she knew everything, making me feel a tingling sensation.

“Pervert, I just meant let’s go have fun together.”

“Yeah, yeah, let’s go have fun.”

To be honest, it sounds a bit awkward to simply say we’re going to have fun.

The exam that we’re taking at the academy is being held in a place by the sea, of all places.

This information hasn’t been revealed to the students yet, so it’s natural that Lucia wouldn’t know.

“The day for revealing the exam format is tomorrow.”

While we’re at it, let’s make some memories and prepare for the sixth episode.

“Why did you suddenly skip from the third episode to the sixth?”

The fourth episode is about subduing pandemonium, and Nihil would have taken care of that.

The fifth episode is about the Mongma, and the saint has already taken care of all of them, so we should prepare for the sixth episode right away.

“hehehe, should we go buy swimsuits together?”

…I did have that thought, but it’s a little embarrassing.

My attention was completely diverted by words I hadn’t even considered.

“Do you like rash guards? Or maybe a monokini?”

As she said that, she suddenly exclaimed, “Ah!” and pierced my chest with a mischievous smile.

“Of course, if you’re a man, bikini is the best, right?”

Laughing like that, Lucia took out a container from her bag and shook it.

Upon closer inspection, the container had the words “cream” written on it, giving off a feeling of whitening cosmetics.

“I’ve been diligently whitening my skin lately, but should I burn it again?”

Lucia confidently revealed her skin as she said that, as if my expectations were correct.

It was said that her skin had become considerably lighter compared to her middle school academy days, so she must have been whitening her skin.

After briefly pondering her words, I concluded that it didn’t matter what she did, and shrugged my shoulders.

“Lucia, you look beautiful regardless of whether your skin gets burned or not because the original is always the best. You don’t need to worry about it, right?”

If she diligently whitened her skin instead of tanning, she would no longer be a “golden sun” but just a “golden sheep,” but well, it doesn’t really matter.

No matter how you look, if it’s pretty and cute, it’s a done deal. It’s natural for a beautiful person to be beautiful whether they do whitening or tanning.

“..Cough!”

Lucia coughed as if she was startled by my words.

I’ve been feeling this a lot lately, this golden sun. She’s extremely weak to compliments.

Even though it’s true, when she compliments herself, she either blushes or changes the subject or feels embarrassed.

“Lucia is extremely pretty.”

“Stop… don’t say things like that…”

“I’ve never seen a person as pretty as Lucia in my entire life…”

“Ah, stop it!”

She has such a lively reaction when I tease her at moments like this.

I realized a few weeks ago that the words “golden sun” and “cute” can coexist, and ever since I found out, every day feels happy.

“Well, should we go back now?”

Since the lecture is over, at that moment when I was about to go back to Lucia’s dormitory and chat.

“Oh, there’s Heidi.”

Lucia looked at someone walking far away.

If you’re wondering why she looked at Heidi, it’s because Lucia has been trying to apologize to her lately.

Heidi simply ignores Lucia and says that a conversation itself cannot be established.

“Should… I talk to her?”

So, Lucia’s idea was to use me as a mediator to create an opportunity for conversation.

If she can establish a conversation at least, she will apologize no matter what she has to do.

“I’ll do my best.”

Since it’s a good opportunity for Lucia to reflect on her mistakes and move forward, I decided to help her from all sides.

…

However, as soon as I saw Lucia, Heidi’s complexion darkened and her pace suddenly quickened.

“Just a moment, Heidi!”

Even though I called her, she ignored me and accelerated her steps, looking clearly angered.

No, it’s not just looking angry, she actually seems angry at me.

“Heidi! Can we talk for a moment!”

Lucia rushed over and grabbed Heidi, gasping for breath.

Indeed, she’s a physical type; her running speed is no joke.

“I have nothing to say to you.”

It was Heidi who firmly shook off Lucia’s hand and urged her steps again.

“I came to apologize! To apologize!”

At Lucia’s words, Heidi came to a sudden stop, turned slowly to look back.
