I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

47 – Face to Face

The place we are in now is a quiet café on the outskirts of the city.

There, an awkward face-to-face meeting was taking place with three chairs placed at one table.

There was an incident where a part-time worker checked the atmosphere and passed by me as if I were trash.

The atmosphere of this place was harsh enough to create such misunderstandings.

“So, what do you want to say?”

Hearing Heidi’s words opening with a cold attitude, Lucia flinched and spoke in a trembling voice.

“Well… I…”

“Speak louder like you do when you’re teasing me, and don’t mutter annoyingly.”

When Lucia was worried about whether she could apologize well in response to Heidi’s strong reaction.

Lucia suddenly stood up and bowed her head 90 degrees to Heidi.

“What… What are you doing?”

I was taken aback along with Heidi as we watched that.

Lucia is the daughter of a viscount, while Heidi is the daughter of a baron.

Both of them receive the treatment of nobility, but there is an obvious difference in their positions.

Therefore, it is almost unthinkable for a character of a viscount like Lucia to bow her head to someone of lower rank than herself.

“At least raise your head and talk! What if someone sees us..!”

Without paying attention to Heidi’s words, Lucia kept her head bowed and trembling.

But she soon raised her head, seemingly realizing that only Heidi would be in trouble if she continued like this.

“I’m really sorry!”

“Huh…?”

Heidi looked at me with a shocked expression after hearing those words.

There was a gaze full of curiosity about what on earth I did to cause that intense sunlight to be this way.

Instead of answering, I shrugged my shoulders, and before Heidi’s reaction could continue, Lucia’s words came back.

“It’s all my fault! All the breakups with other guys are because of me, so I’ll compensate for all the damage caused by me…”

“No, why did you do that to me all this time?”

Heidi, who seemed to have removed some resentment from her voice, asked Lucia if she had genuinely felt it.

What she is asking now is a pure question, why she took her man among so many people.

Actually, I was also very curious about this part. The reason why Lucia disliked Heidi was still a mystery in the original work.

“.. Hm?”

But unexpectedly, Lucia lowered her head while looking at me.

She pinched her own cheek and then closed her eyes, as if she was embarrassed about something.

“You spend a lot of time with Jack.. and I got jealous..”

“.. What?”

“What did you say?”

What she said surprised us because it was such an absurd reason.

We sighed and looked at Lucia with an incredulous expression.

No, if she likes him, can’t she just approach him first?

And besides, she has liked me for not so long, right?

‘It doesn’t seem like a lie..’

It was such an absurd statement that we momentarily doubted if it was a lie, but it had such a genuine expression and behavior that it felt real.

“When did you start liking Jack, anyway?”

Heidi asked in disbelief, as if sharing my thoughts.

Lucia twisted her body and answered Heidi’s question.

“I liked him from the first time we met, and I have liked him ever since..”

We were all stunned and astonished by Lucia’s words, which we could never have imagined.

As if it wasn’t enough, Lucia blushed even more and added.

“Jack has a handsome face, a gentle personality, and he’s cute because of that, and his body is good too. He’s exactly my ideal type..”

“Well, I don’t agree with the face and personality part. But I have to admit that he has a good body.”

Betrayal welled up in me as Heidi spoke, as if refusing to acknowledge me.

Did she forget all the effort I put into being here just in case?

As Heidi was about to say something else, Lucia wrapped her blushing face and spoke.

“Also, deliberately or not, when he wags his tail so vigorously and acts aloof but then treat

“I hate it when you say no, but it’s cute how you receive the candy I give you so eagerly. And it’s adorable how your face turns red like a tomato every time we have skinship.”

“Just a moment! Stop it for now!”

Heidi raised her hand to her head as if she had a headache, took a few deep breaths, and pointed at me with her hand before speaking.

“So, you really like this guy, don’t you?”

In response, Lucia smiled bashfully as if it was obvious, and placed her hand on top of mine on the table.

“Truly, more than anyone in this world, more than anything. I love him completely.”

“Ah…”

Heidi sighed deeply and ran her hand through her hair in a more complicated manner upon hearing those words.

“I can’t get angry if you say it like that…”

The words were so quiet that only I could hear them, but it meant that the story would unfold smoothly from now on.

Lucia, unaware of anything, simply kept stroking the back of my hand with a smile.

Without saying anything special, she waited to hear what Heidi would say next.

“It seems like you two are in a romantic atmosphere. Have you given each other anything… like that?”

Heidi asked, looking at the rings on our hands.

Normally, rings are not worn unless it’s an engagement or marriage, so she seemed suspicious since both rings had the same design.

“Lucia insisted that I wear it if she didn’t want me to talk with other women…”

Lucia wore the ring when eating, washing, and even when sleeping, saying it was a symbol of trust in me.

I had no reason to decline wearing that ring.

“Honestly, even if it wasn’t for that reason, perhaps she just liked the design of the ring.”

Lucia nodded her head and explained the details about the ring, then stood up from her seat and approached Heidi.

“What… what is it?”

Heidi was taken aback but ignored it, as Lucia lifted her top to reveal her stomach.

I closed my eyes at her sudden action, and Heidi, after being momentarily surprised, let out a disappointed breath and called me.

“Jack, did you know about this? Is this an agreement?”

“What do you mean?”

“She got a tattoo.”

“A tattoo?”

I opened my eyes, and when I looked at Lucia, there was a single letter engraved on her belly button, revealed by lifting her top.

“Jack Orlannte… f*ck, that’s my name.”

Somehow, a few days ago, someone asked me about the spelling of my name, and now I understand why.

“hehehe, I was going to tell you later in bed, but I got caught..”

I should think a lot before tattooing someone else’s name on my body, not just me but Heidi too is now visibly annoyed.

“I can’t curse anymore.. What on earth do I have to do for her to fall for me like this?”

Well, honestly, it does feel good to have engraved my name, even considering the risk.

Many people regret tattooing the name or initials of their lovers.

“Lucia, you shouldn’t do those things. What if we grow apart in the future..”

“I’m not going to meet any other men anyway after I break up with you, so it doesn’t matter!”

While expressing her concerns, for a brief moment, I lost words when she confidently replied.

Lucia held my hand and placed it on her stomach, where the letters were engraved, and smiled slightly.

“Besides, now I’m yours, so even if you push me away, we’ll still be together, forever.”

-Yikes!

My face turned red in an instant when I heard those words, and the heat rushed to my head.

I don’t know about anything else, but the fact that she thinks of me that way is very much appreciated.

Suddenly, Lucia grabbed my throat, still under the spell of being deeply moved, and whispered in my ear.

“Moreover, having a tattoo of your name on my lower belly, isn’t it a little naughty?”

…

As soon as I heard those words, I turned my even redder face away and avoided eye contact. But Lucia didn’t stop, she chuckled and added.

“Well, since I can’t live without Jack, it’s a perfectly fitting tattoo.”

“What are you saying..!”

When I glanced at Heidi next to me, even though it was a whispered conversation, her voice was quite loud, and she seemed to have heard it as she clutched her head and murmured.

Eventually, one of Heidi’s remarks she hesitated to say contained a significant assumption mixed with deduction.

“Jack, have you ever… been with Lucia?”

“No, I haven’t!”

Judging from her gaze and tone, it seemed like she thought I had conquered her like some 19+ novel.

Honestly, it may be difficult to understand the reason why the golden sun is reincarnating so rapidly like this, but…

“What kind of twisted mindset is that?”

As I grumbled, Lucia, with a mischievous expression, pulled a chair next to Heidi and sat down.

I whispered into Heidi’s ear, adjusting the volume so that only she could hear.

“Don’t say a word, it’s because of how innocent you look. Are there no beasts in bed?”

Before I could explain, Heidi interrupted.

“You… you really…did it with Lucia…”

“I thought it was some kind of weapon, that’s how it sounded.”

Lucia mocked me as she tapped her tattoo.

Heidi’s eyes widened, then she glared at me with contempt and looked at Lucia as if she was her rival.

To reciprocate that gaze, Lucia teared up and said, “Escape before your body and mind become enslaved by Jack, Heidi.”

“What on earth are you saying?”

I explained in sweats, but it took two more hours to convince Heidi, who stared at me as if I were a bug.

…Like a bad golden sun.
