I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

50 – 50. Sharing a Bed

I kept touching my face for no reason, repeatedly blushing and then lowering my head.

I had a mistaken illusion that the soft and warm feeling on my face was continuously touching my body.

After the day Lucia clung to my chest, I’ve been in this state for a few days.

“It’s a shame that because of my broken glasses, I couldn’t properly see her in a bikini…”

It’s regrettable to keep whining about it because of her, but it truly is regrettable.

I wanted to see her with a bikini on her radiant skin and voluptuous body.

To not be able to see that just because my face was buried in her chest, it’s a pity.

“Jack, what are you thinking?”

“..I’m not thinking about anything.”

Right now, we are on a bus heading to the academy’s exam location, the beach.

Its official name isn’t a bus, but since it looks like one, let’s just call it a bus for convenience.

“hehehe, that’s a lie. I saw you glancing at my chest earlier, full of evil intentions.”

By the way, this guy, Geum Tae-yang, really knows what I’m thinking.

It’s true that I had impure thoughts, which is the problem because I can’t argue against it.

“If you want to touch, you can touch. I give you permission.”

The bigger problem is that he keeps seducing people so openly.

To the point where it’s almost dangerous if the wrong thought crosses my mind, he coughs mockingly.

“I know exactly what you’re thinking. You think I’m defenseless?”

When I heard the crab-like words that cooled down my rising desire, I shivered and turned to look at Lucia.

As if knowing that Lucia had expected this, she shrugged her shoulders and tapped on the pledge ring on my hand.

“I keep telling you, it’s because it’s you.”

That’s exactly why he is defenseless, this person.

If I were to jump on him in a fit of anger, how would he even handle such words so nonchalantly…!

No, if it were Lucia, she would probably say it’s okay even if I were to pounce on him and then hold me tightly so that I couldn’t escape.

‘…So Lucia has nothing to be afraid of, huh?’

Only now do I realize why Lucia pleaded with me, and a feeling of emptiness washes over me.

“By the way, did you reserve the accommodation properly?”

Curiously, the academy didn’t provide meal service when we went to take the exam.

It was a system where individuals had to directly reserve their accommodations, but Lucia knew someone there and said she could arrange a room at half price.

So, the three of us, me, Heidi, and Raul, eNT*Rusted Lucia with reserving the accommodations…

“hehehe, of course, I did well. Look forward to it.”

For some reason, I felt uneasy when I saw her smiling slyly, as if she had something up her sleeve.

“Are you doing something strange, by any chance?”

“Do you really think I would?”

Though the thought of you doing something like that made me blurt out that phrase.

“If there really isn’t a good place, I can sleep with my chest as a pillow. Should I lend it to you?”

“Please think a little more before saying something like that.”

The problem wasn’t that the students from Class A at the academy, who were on the same bus, were all staring at us and directing their gazes towards Lucia.

It would have been a relief if only the attention was focused on us, but the problem was that they were gossiping among themselves, speculating about various things.

Moreover, Lucia seemed to be enjoying the spreading rumors among the kids, wagging her tail while hearing the stories circulating among them.

“They definitely slept together since I saw them going into the dormitory at night.”

“Maybe they’ll continue spending time together even during this trip? I’m so jealous.”

“Then they’ll feel like a newlywed couple among themselves? Ew, it’s nauseating.”

When lies and fabrications turned into gossip, I became angry and was about to stand up to argue, but…

“…”

Lucia gently grabbed my hand and looked at me with a slight smile.

An indescribable pressure, asking if I would waste our time together over such groundless rumors.

“Phew…”

I sighed deeply and sat back in my seat.

Just as her intentions implied, I felt much happier spending time with Lucia than indulging in such trivial gossip.

“Oops?”

After giving Lucia a light peck on the cheek, I intertwined my pinky finger with hers.

It would have been cool if it ended there, but because of that, Lucia blushed intensely.

Throughout the bus ride, Lucia kept giving me little kisses whenever she was bored and even demanded deep kisses from time to time.

In the end, because of that, the rumors about us had multiplied several times during our bus ride.

***

It took more than half a day to travel from Campbell Academy to the beach.

When I got off the bus, what I saw in front of me was a darkly stained sky and a beautiful night sea that seemed to swallow it up.

Now the students had to find their own way to the accommodations they had reserved.

“It seems like quite an inefficient way, though..”

In the original work, they must have done that to create an episode where the male leads persuade Heidi to sleep in the same room with them.

However, I don’t think there will be a man this time who will cling to Heidi and ask to sleep together.

“I didn’t even think about staying at a hotel..!”

Part of the reason I managed to chase away all the men who tried to cling to Heidi.

The accommodation Lucía arranged for us was nothing less than a high-end hotel.

Grayson didn’t follow us to the beach and was still staying near the academy.

The facilities were so good that I felt guilty towards him.

“Lucía, you know someone in a place like this..?”

“hehehe, of course!”

Lucía, who had become slightly conceited thanks to that, didn’t even think about backing down.

Even in the lobby, she only collected the key card without properly checking in, which made me curious.

Lucía read my expression and smirked even more confidently.

“hehehe, who am I? I’ve taken care of that already!”

But something felt off as she waved the key card around and laughed brightly.

It felt like there was something missing, and not long after, it was revealed through Heidi’s question.

“Lucía, but there are four of us, so why are there only three key cards?”

“Uh…uh?”

Upon hearing that, Lucía looked flustered and glanced at me, tapping her forehead.

“There are only two single rooms left! Two people have to share a double room!”

As soon as we heard that, Heidi grabbed Lucía’s hand, reflecting on it.

“That’s great! That means you and I can share a room!”

“Oh? That can’t be done..”

Lucía, as if trying to roll her head, closed her eyes tightly as if praying.

Then, as if realizing something, she clapped her hands and sadly brushed off Heidi’s back.

“Couples can only use that room, I know two girls can’t use it! You and Raoul use the single rooms! I’ll share the double room with Jack!”

While quickly passing the key card for the single room to them, Lucía grabbed my hand and giggled.

Honestly, it was blatantly clear that she was lying.

What does it mean that there is a hotel in the world that only couples can use?

“Oh really…? There’s something like that?”

But Heidi, who had only lived in the couNT*Ryside, and Hakikomori Gumiho, who had been confined to the forest for over a thousand years, didn’t know anything.

They couldn’t argue back because they sensed something strange but didn’t know anything.

Even if they knew, Lucia booked the hotel, what could they say?

“Churip..”

However, as the person involved, I had a slightly different perspective.

Lucia was looking at me with a victorious expression, licking her lips.

No way, would I just let myself be eaten obediently.

I can’t ignore a 25-year-old male semi-magician who has been through high school, college, military service, and technology.

“Well, then I’ll go first!”

I looked at Raoul and Heidi, who were being held by Lucia, seeking help.

“Huh?”

The two were giving each other a high-five as if they had succeeded from behind.

Crazy, were they a team? Did they pull this stunt just to ask me?

When I looked at Lucia with a bewildered expression, she blinked despairingly and started pulling me towards the room.

“Hey, Lucia.”

“Yeah, why are you calling me?”

“The bed, there are two, right?”

“No, there’s only one? It’s a couple’s room, you know?”

No way. Was that couple’s room that Lucia had mentioned a lie to share the room with me?

Should’ve gone to a hotel with a girl, no. Even if that’s not the case, I have no idea since I’ve never properly been to a hotel in my entire life.

“…You won’t do anything strange, right?”

But what’s important for now is whether I can leave the hotel safely when I want to.

“Hmm…I could watch, or I could not!”

Lucia seemed to have no intention of sending me off peacefully.

“Huff!”

As I pondered on my escape plan, Lucia seemed to realize it and lightly slapped my buttocks.

I froze, sending her a resentful gaze.

Is this what it feels like when a cat is caught by the back of its neck, unable to move?

“This is s*xual harassment, if you report it, I’ll get arrested..”

I trembled like a herbivorous animal in front of a wild beast and spoke.

The wild beast seemed uninterested and stared rigidly at me with hunger in its eyes.

“hehehe..”

It chuckled ominously and began to touch my stiff body slowly.

“Ah! What are you doing!”

Startled, I stepped back, and Lucia laughed mischievously, opened the door with her card key, and dragged me onto the bed.

“…”

Hiding in a corner of the bed, my attempt to cover myself looked pitiful.

How far have I fallen to be running away like this, just to avoid being eaten?

“Not just once or twice, but being thrown on the bed like this must be the third time..”

I promised myself that I would not easily surrender my body and exerted more strength in the hands that enveloped me.

For some reason, Lucia’s gaze seemed even more filled with desire, but it must be because of the atmosphere, right?
