I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

51 – 51. The Untamable Golden Sun

Fortunately, perhaps due to several previous experiences, I knew that I disliked forced physical contact.

Lucia never forcefully fed me by overpowering me.

“Well, today is not the day for it!” I muttered, and we peacefully fell asleep in the same bed without any incident.

Lately, it seems that Lucia has been considering my feelings a little, which puts my mind at ease.

However, if there is a problem…

“We should get up now, could you please give me some space?”

“No, I don’t know. I want to stay like this a little longer.”

Lucia had completely wrapped my body with her arms and legs, rendering me immobile.

Both of us need to go to the meeting place designated by the academy, so why are we wasting 20 minutes like this?

As I mumbled that I would leave, Lucia opened her mouth with a resentful smile.

“I’ve been restraining myself all night wanting to pounce on you, and if someone praises me for it, I feel like my hands would be freed..”

An arrogant look as if demanding compliments and a raised nose.

I raised my hand and gently pressed down on her nose, making her frown.

“How should I praise you to get you to release me? If I do it half-heartedly, you won’t let go, right?”

In response, Lucia cleared her throat as if waiting for that answer and tapped her lips.

“If you kiss me deeply… hmm?”

But it was Lucia, who I thought would tease me again.

Before she could say anything, I sealed her lips with mine and slipped my tongue in.

“Hmm..”

If it had been a few days ago, I would have stuttered and told her not to say nonsense.

Ever since my first kiss with Lucia, we would kiss behind the academy after finishing each lecture, so I no longer blushed at things like this.

In other words, this situation is the disaster she brought upon herself.

-Kwaaak!

Well, considering how passionately she kisses back, it might not be a disaster from her perspective.

If we’re both happy, isn’t that enough?

*Sob!*

I gently traced the inside of her mouth with my tongue, thinking this.

“No, I booked a lodging close to the meeting place so why are we so late?”

I suppressed my words, and instead, looked at the distant mountains in response to Heidi’s irritated question.

It was impolite to say that we were late because we were passionately kissing for so long… I couldn’t possibly say it.

“We were late because we were kissing?”

“…”

As I was about to speak,

Is there someone who can confidently say that they were late because they were passionately kissing, in front of both students and professors?

I wondered if they had successfully cut off the part of their brain that feels embarrassed.

“Hey… did you hear?”

“You slept together after kissing in the morning?”

“I told you, I said they were dating. Even though they’re not, they sleep together?”

And it was me beside Lucia who had successfully removed her embarrassment.

Of course, it was true that we slept together, but we really just slept.

We held hands right before sleeping, but isn’t it normal to hold hands while sleeping?

“Wow… it’s only been a few days since we entered the academy and they’re already doing these kinds of things…”

“Yeah, I’m really jealous.”

Perhaps because of the situation, speculations were spreading among the students.

Not only the students, but even the professors were blushing and turning their heads, so it seems that they were thinking the same thing.

From the moment I entered school, my image as a model student that I had worked so hard to build crumbled.

“..Hm?”

However, among the countless gazes, there was a blatant and uncomfortable stare.

Of course, there were many people who would send such stares towards me, like the Prince and the Saints.

But they weren’t here now, and the gazes that came this time were not directed towards the students, but towards the professors.

“Who is that person staring at me..”

The person staring at me was a man wearing glasses.

And from his eyes that seemed like those of a professor, a coldness and dense atmosphere were solely directed at me.

“I don’t know who that is.”

I don’t know what that professor teaches, but I have never attended his lectures before.

Therefore, there is no reason for me to receive such a cold stare from that professor..

-Pssst!

Then, Lucía interrupted my thoughts and planted a kiss on my cheek before turning her head away abruptly.

“The other girls kept staring at you, so I did it to annoy them. Do you mind?”

Does this person not know that people are looking at him because of what he just said?

I became irritated as I watched Lucía grumble with her arms folded.

In fact, when I looked around, people were astonished after seeing Lucía’s kiss and were discussing it amongst themselves.

Now, how do I fix this situation?

The professor, who appeared considerably older but not unattractive, clapped his hands and stepped forward.

“Now, I will provide an overview of the exam. Please pay attention.”

And with an air of experience on his face that seemed genuine, he instantly captured the attention of the students whose gazes were scattered all around.

Of course, the word “exam” itself holds power, but it was not solely because of that word that he was able to captivate everyone’s attention in such a short time.

The professor looked satisfied with the students’ focused gazes, then snapped his fingers.

-Whoosh!

And simultaneously, something started to be engraved in the sky.

It was hovering in the air in a hologram-like manner, rotating in a perfect circle.

The perfectly rendered image in the air was none other than the appearance of an island.

“Wow..!”

“What is that? How was it created?”

Such technology seems to be rare even in this area.

The students were cheering like they were watching an idol who came to perform at the military.

The professor, in order to arouse the students’ attention, put his finger on the created island and spun it, enlarging it.

“This place is where you will take your first exam.”

The enlarged island transformed into a video, projecting various parts of the island, from the large trees to the wild animals in the forest, along with the appearances of the professors there.

‘A preliminary survey…’

What they were showing now was a video of the island’s preliminary survey.

As I was staring blankly at the video, the thought suddenly came to me that it was beautiful, fitting the background of a novel episode.

A continuous landscape that looked like sharp-eared elves would suddenly pop out.

‘It’s a shame there are no elves in this world…’

Thinking that, when I looked beside me, I saw a woman who was more beautiful than the elf looking at me with round eyes.

Well, it doesn’t matter if there are elves or not. There’s someone like this.

“Lucia, shouldn’t you be focusing on the exam content instead of my face right now?”

“Since you are already looking at the exam content, I just want to look at your face.”

“If the exam is an individual competition, what are you going to do? Even if it’s a team competition, there’s no guarantee that I will be on a team with Lucia.”

“But you said you would somehow tell me the exam content.”

Honestly, I can’t refute that.

I stuck by Lucia’s side as much as possible so that she wouldn’t fail the exam and drop to Class B.

“Just saying that makes me not want to help anymore.”

Kim Tae-yang, who naturally considered his face a weapon of assistance.

From any angle, it seems like this posture needs correction, doesn’t it?

“I want to be with you.. Are you really not going to help?”

“…”

That’s true, but I don’t think I can correct her.

How can I correct someone like her? I might end up embarrassing myself and die first.

“I will explain more in detail when we go to the island! Let’s first board the ship!”

After explaining for a while, the professor cleared the hologram in the sky.

He gestured to the students as if telling them to follow him, and started walking.

“Because of Lucia, I couldn’t hear the explanation either.”

“Then you can come down with me to Class A.”

Actually, there was no need for an explanation since I knew the original work, but I decided to play a prank.

I was completely taken aback by her reaction as if she didn’t mind being with me.

Even though she was an academy student, she wasn’t given proper treatment in the dream class that everyone dreams of.

Thinking that other students would be jealous if they found out, I smirked and Lucia hugged my arm tightly.

Intentionally or unintentionally, her arm lightly brushed against my chest.

As a grown-up, I calmly stared at her without making a fuss.

“How about we just drop out and go back to our hometown? Would you like that too?”

Upon hearing my lack of response, her eyes glimmered slightly with a puzzled expression.

Of course, I only let out a faint smile in response to her innocent and hopeful words.

I’m grateful for her kindness, but if we go back to our hometown, we might be attacked by a prince or a saint within a few months.

I’m not the type to sit still and let a knife be held to my throat.

“There are still things I must do.”

“Are they more important than me…?”

Saying that, Lucia pouted slightly with a sulky expression.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m wearing blinders, but she seems really adorable.

When I came to my senses, I realized that my hand was gently stroking her head.

I casually threw out my words as if they were tossed away, thinking the atmosphere would be nice and my mood would improve.

“I have nothing more important than Lucia to me.”

“W-What…!”

Upon hearing those words, Lucia hid her blushing face and didn’t utter a word until we boarded the ship.

I felt a slight embarrassment myself, but I didn’t feel too bad.
