I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

35 – 35. Do I Want to Sleep?

“Is this a success or a failure?”

Lucia followed me into the dormitory, asking nervously.

Well, if you look at the result, it’s a success, but it’s just… I don’t know. It’s way too bland, beyond imagination.

‘I’m sure there’s something, but I can’t figure it out right now.’

There’s no way to know what’s being hidden.

Moreover, Francis Watson’s story hasn’t been properly revealed in the novel yet, which is even more problematic.

‘Because I transmigrated in the middle of this damn web novel…’

There are still unresolved plot points and developments left in the story.

For instance, Graison’s amnesia or Francis’s past.

If you’re going to send me into a work, at least send me to a completed one, you bad author.

‘I don’t know for sure, but there seems to be some connection between this Hunter’s Certification and Francis’s past…’

Each episode of “The Strange World of Eykhael” has a standout male lead.

For example, in this third episode, “The Enigma That Engulfs Marle,” the main character is Raoul.

Now, the fifth episode, “The Never-Ending Dream,” which has disappeared as if by force, seems to revolve around Eden.

‘The last episode I read before I transmigrated…’

The eighth episode, starring Francis Watson in ‘The Paradise of a Suicidal Civilization.’

Unfortunately, I only watched the beginning of the eighth episode, so I don’t know the detailed events in Francis’s past or within it.

‘..But how am I remembering this?’

I’m not the type to remember people’s names well in the first place.

The Paradise of a Suicidal Civilization, I barely remember a sentence in the notes, let alone remembering it.

Anyway, it seems like I might be a genius…

“Am I having strange thoughts with you by my side again?”

…Well, that’s unlikely.

Thanks to Lucía, who forced me to be aware of reality, my mind has become more complicated.

I took a deep breath and was about to open a candy when…

“Yoink!”

Lucía snatched the candy from my hand.

As a result, instead of the sweet lemon-flavored candy that should have gone into my mouth, I ended up eating dust.

“…”

When I glared at Lucía, meaning I wanted my candy back, she pressed my hands together so I couldn’t move.

“Try it.”

“..Huh?”

“Open your mouth.”

She shook the candy gently and tapped the tightly closed part of my mouth.

I appreciate the intention to feed me, but I have no intention of opening my mouth.

No, come to think of it, the intention itself is impure. She took the candy I was eating to satisfy her own desires, right?

‘This is my last remaining pride…’

Thighs, holding hands, hugging, and so on—all those things I was once resistant to have gradually become allowed.

With this continuing, Lucía seems to take her skinship with me for granted.

These days, if the two of us plan to go somewhere, she grabs my hand first.

‘..Of course, I’m also a problem for not shaking her off in time.’

Anyway, if this kind of life continues, I’ll eventually be completely entangled in Lucía’s pace until the end.

When I come to my senses, I might be waking up in a strange bed.

“Mouth wide open… Want some candy…”

So, I will absolutely not yield my mouth to her.

The mouth is not only the place where you eat, but fundamentally, it’s also where lovers kiss.

If Lucia is allowed to handle my mouth as she pleases right now, the first kiss… is probably already stolen, and the second one would be taken without any resistance as well.

-Slurp!

…Slurp? That sounds ominous.

I open my eyes, having been lost in thought, as a suspicious sound reaches my ears.

“Nom nom…”

Lucia, who was savoring my cheek, catches my attention.

…Savoring? My cheek?

“eeek!”

I quickly step back and touch my cheek, which had become moist, as if sprayed with mist.

The experience of receiving a genuine Lucia mist on my cheek was truly bewildering.

“Uh… um…”

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t even form a proper sentence.

-Glug glug!

Then, I hear a cheerful, bead-like sound coming from inside my mouth.

“When did she put it in?”

I roll the candy around with my tongue and confirm that it was the lemon candy that Lucia took from me earlier.

Well, it was almost certain. I probably put it in my mouth when I screamed and backed away earlier.

“Chew…”

I continue to roll the candy quietly, and Lucia watches me with a curious expression.

Since this dorm room originally belonged to Lucia alone, I can’t escape.

“How is it that even after changing dorm rooms, you can have a room all to yourself again…”

Lucia was delighted when the dormitory and roommate assignments were rearranged just yesterday.

She ended up getting a room to herself again and was ecstatic, jumping around with joy.

In the end, she forcibly dragged me to her dormitory, as she wished.

“Ugh… this is annoying…”

As a result, Lucia, who had just sucked on my cheek, was now complaining that it wasn’t enough.

Don’t follow Lucia’s whims and go all the way to the dormitory; just go inside and get some sleep.

Why would I follow Lucia and watch her enjoy her luxurious life, when she’s probably indulging herself with delicious food?

“30 seconds, no, can I keep watching for just 10 more seconds?”

“Is that okay?”

Where’s the appeal in watching someone’s cheeks being nibbled on?

If it were Lucia’s cheeks, maybe it’d be cute because she’s naturally round and adorable, but as for me, well, I’m not that cute even if my cheeks are nibbled on…

“You’re really cute, you know?”

At that moment, Lucia broke into my contemplation, as if she could read my thoughts. Surprised, I looked at Lucia with eyes that wondered how she knew that, and she simply smiled.

“It’s simple. You glanced at the mirror twice, something you wouldn’t have done if you were your usual self.”

Can she see that? No, how did she instantly conclude whether I’m cute or not based on that?

As I marveled at Lucia once again, she answered my question, narrowing her eyes.

“I’ve been observing you, your expressions, your thoughts, your likes and dislikes, and so on.”

“…Could you please tone it down a bit? It’s a little creepy.”

I wanted to cancel the admiration I had just expressed.

It’s because what she’s saying now seems too much like stalking.

Continuously observing, depending on the context, can be taken as rather unsettling.

“Just looking at you makes me feel better, how could I not look at you?”

She’s really quick to come up with that.

Suddenly, Straight stabbed my back and entered with a moment of shortness of breath.

“Hey, you blushed a little just now, didn’t you?”

Lucia’s teasing, optimistic voice reached my ears.

Yeah, honestly, I blushed a bit.

“So, since the atmosphere is nice, can you allow me to look at you? Just for 3 seconds, not 10, just give me 3 seconds!”

As she said this, Lucia cupped her hands and sincerely begged, bowing her head.

I don’t know why she’s so insistent on looking at my cheeks, but maybe it’s because I heard something nice from her just a while ago.

So, I nodded in agreement, and…

“Here we go!”

Lucia saw my signal of approval and rushed at me with the speed of an eager cat, colliding with me.

“Ouch!”

I received the full force of Lucia’s exercise energy, causing me to fall backward.

“Phew.”

And so, I ended up underneath Lucia naturally, but whether she was aware of it or not, she had been chewing on my cheeks since the moment I fell.

Not quite as stimulating as my thigh, but my cheek also provided a considerable sensation.

“It’s… ticklish.”

If it were only my cheek touching her body, I wouldn’t be sure, but as I mentioned, Lucia was on top of me.

To be precise, she was lying on top of me in a way that almost resembled two bodies overlapping.

So, what should I say? Should I describe the feeling of a maternal pouch pressing against my body?

‘…Maternal pouches seem a bit too vulgar.’

Anyway, since Lucia’s chest area was far from small and, in fact, on the larger side.

The sensation of her soft flesh was clearly felt through my clothes.

I had to somehow ignore this stimulation.

‘One wrong move here, and it could turn into a disaster…’

Also, my lower abdomen was in complete contact with Lucia’s body.

If I were to get even slightly aroused in this situation, Lucia would probably notice it right away.

If that were to happen, there would be no way to explain it, even if she pounced on me for real.

Lucia had simply intended to suck on my cheek, but if I had seen her as a s*xual object…

“No, the premise is all wrong.”

Simply sucking on a cheek, in the first place, can’t coexist with anything else…

-Swish…

“Eek!”

Lucia’s body turned once, and her chest brushed against me, causing a major crisis, but I barely managed to overcome it with my superhuman national anthem singing skills.

“This guy’s body is a weapon in itself…”

I just couldn’t let my guard down.

With her demanding personality, a face that’s unnecessarily cute, perky behavior, and now, a body that’s wicked…

“…Is this a good thing?”

Putting aside these unnecessary thoughts and looking at Lucia, she was still happily nibbling on my cheeks with a content expression.

It felt like much more than 3 seconds had passed, but I figured it was time to let her go, so I pushed her away from my body.

“Ugh…”

As she moved away, Lucia made a sound of sympathy.

“This isn’t just 3 seconds, Lucia.”

I scolded Lucia sternly and tried to get up.

One side of my body had already risen about halfway, and it seemed like I couldn’t stay with Lucia any longer.

As I quickly shifted my weight to my legs while keeping my back against the wall, Lucia’s voice came from behind.

“Um, it’s a bit late at night right now… Would you like to stay and sleep?”

…Huh?
