I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun - I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun chapter 54

54 – 54. Maybe I’m still being NT*R-ed

Was it normal to apply tanning oil all the way to the stomach?

I really wanted to ask, but there was no one to answer.

Moreover, this position is a bit.. ambiguous.

“What are you doing? Just standing there idly.”

She was half lying down, but somehow it felt strangely provocative.

Anyway, I felt so embarrassed, tapping my fingers in a posture that could be seen in any magazine.

She wasn’t looking at my face before, so I played a slightly suggestive joke, but with her looking at me now…

“Why? Because I’m so pretty that you want to pounce on me?”

Yes, that’s what I can’t do.

How can someone confidently look at someone’s face and say such things?

“Where should I start applying the oil? From the chest?”

“What are you saying!”

If this person was really embarrassed about showing her chest earlier and showed such a innocent appearance, was it the same person?

Seeing her confident expression while talking about her chest made me feel excited.

“That looks a bit uncomfortable, lying on the floor..”

Lucia’s posture looked awkward, so I was about to say “lie down,” but I stopped for a moment.

Until now, she had been applying oil to her back while lying on the sandy floor, but she can’t lie on the sand.

But if she continues to stay in that ambiguous position, it will be very uncomfortable…

“Come here and rest your head on my lap.”

After thinking for a moment, I tapped my knee and said to Lucia.

My knee would be better than the sandy floor.

“Yaho!”

As if waiting for it, she brought her head down and lay down, making a tired expression.

“heheheung, it feels great… so comfortable…”

Rubbing my face against her thigh, I felt even more proud when I saw her sunny smile.

This is why everyone must be falling head over heels for Gyeom Taeyang in NT*R comics, the charm of Gyeom Taeyang is clearly felt.

“hehehehe, tickles…”

As I applied oil to her neck and shoulders, Lucia turned over and giggled. Is she ticklish?

I poked her armpits, and with a whooshing sound of breath escaping, Lucia laughed and rolled on her knees.

“hehehe, just a moment!”

Continuing to torment her down to her waist, Lucia now laughed heavily, as if struggling for breath.

After tickling Lucia for a while, I let go, and she puffed up her cheeks like a pufferfish before playfully poking my waist, as if daring me to try.

Unfortunately, I’m not ticklish.

“Uh… uh?”

Lucia laughed softly, thinking she was teasing me, but when I didn’t laugh, she looked confused.

She tried to tickle my armpits, navel, feet, and thighs with feathers from who knows where, but still, I just watched her blankly.

“Ugh…!”

Lucia, who had been bold, suddenly turned her head away as if sulking.

Even when I gently stroked her cheeks, there was no reaction. She must really be sulking this time.

Well, considering she was tickled for a few minutes, it’s only natural for her to be a little annoyed.

“Heehee!”

In order to elicit a reaction from Lucia, I applied oil and gently stroked her belly.

I could feel the abs on her stomach against my hand, and it felt good, but I didn’t show it and just gently caressed her to help her release her anger.

“hehehe… well, hmph.”

Then, Lucia smiled again, her expression softened, but quickly turned angry again.

She was halfway there, what a shame.

I continued to affectionately touch Lucia’s belly and called out to her.

“Lucia.”

“Uh… yeah? What?”

Caught between comfort and irritation, Lucia hesitated for a moment before answering my question, and then abruptly covered her mouth.

Honestly, she made a mistake in answering, trying to act sulky.

Without showing any sign of it, I gently stroked her cheek with the back of my hand, which wasn’t oily, and whispered in her ear.

“I really like you, a lot.”

“Uh… uh?”

“Thank you for being by my side,” Lucia noticed when I tried to say something recently, she immediately cuddled up to me and made it impossible for me to say anything.

Even though she knows it, there’s nothing I can do about it.

That’s how close we are to each other, so this kind of physical contact and sweet words between us are inherently impossible to guard against.

“Suddenly, what’s wrong, feeling embarrassed…”

Lucia, who had tried to act all flustered, had forgotten and blushed, burying her face in my abdomen.

Maybe her face turned even redder because it touched my abs, but I just smiled and patted her head.

“It’s really cheating, acting cynical all the time and occasionally saying something affectionate…”

“Shall I do it more often from now on?”

“Yes.”

Come to think of it, I tend to be quite stingy with compliments compared to Lucia.

She does give me a lot of compliments, but even considering that, I don’t express my emotions well.

“May I kiss you?”

So, I asked her with a tilt of my head, and soon I saw Lucia nodding shyly in my field of vision.

The kiss that day was unusually sweet and sticky.

***

I, Heidi, have been childhood friends with Jack since birth.

The first memorable moment in my life was when I was playing with Jack. I don’t even know how long we’ve been close.

To be honest, Jack is a very stoic child.

“A child who never showed any emotions, always seemed to be chasing something.”

He seemed like that, or, I thought he was like that.

Maybe I misunderstood him. A sense of uncertainty rose in my heart.

“Youth, huh?”

“…Do you think so too?”

Well, he’s been kissing Lucia on the beach for a while now.

In fact, I had a vague idea. That Jack and Lucia had a somewhat discreet relationship.

They might have kissed, and they might have already gone to bed without telling me.

“No, they definitely did.”

They reserved the same room, so they probably enjoyed each other all night.

“…”

Honestly, I didn’t really like Lucia. I was actually closer to hating her.

I had stolen boyfriends before and I thought I approached Jack with a similar intention.

But when I saw the sincere love in Jack’s eyes, I couldn’t say anything.

And after genuinely liking Jack, Lucia made great efforts to match his preferences and became more kind and harmful at the same time.

Considering her efforts, it wouldn’t be strange for her to be infatuated with Jack.

“..I feel uneasy for no reason.”

Even though a considerable amount of time had passed, watching the two of them embrace and kiss, a bitter taste filled my mouth for no reason.

I thought I had already given up, but it seems there was still a trace of lingering affection left.

“There’s no need to hide anymore.”

Like the many girls around Jack in our childhood.

In the beginning, I had some rational affection for Jack for a few years.

But, that affection only lasted until middle school, and then it abruptly ended.

To be precise, I was close to deciding to cut off my feelings.

“I can show it blatantly because he won’t realize..”

I wasn’t as proactive as Lucia, but I did make quite an appeal, yet he truly didn’t notice.

He was such an idiot who couldn’t read between the lines and only cared about appearances.

..Well, honestly. I was afraid of revealing my feelings for no reason, fearing we wouldn’t even be able to remain friends.

So, I gave up and decided to maintain a decent friendship until he found someone good.

“Something feels off..”

Seeing him actually fooling around with another girl in front of me makes me feel uncertain.

It’s satisfying yet slightly regretful, and I even start to think about how it would have been if I were in that position.

No matter how much I think about it, it won’t change anything.

“Are you okay? Is something wrong?”

Raul asked with a worried tone, and I smiled and shook my head.

Yeah, nothing’s wrong. It really doesn’t matter to me at all..

“..Huh?”

Tears streamed down my face without me even realizing it.

Raul, who was by my side, quickly wiped the tears with his sleeve, but once tears start flowing, they don’t stop like a faucet.

Only now do I truly realize that it’s really the end, and I can no longer hold any rational feelings towards him.

“I was afraid I might lose Lucia, that I might not even be able to remain friends with her…”

As I hesitated and agonized over it, time piled up, and before I knew it, it had become an insurmountable wall.

While I couldn’t approach, Lucia, who had taken Jack’s side, would probably give him much more love than I ever could.

She was more beautiful than me, more talented, and, above all, she loved Jack more than anything else.

She was a much braver and cooler woman than me, who had been trembling with fear of rejection.

“Ah…”

It’s probably for the best. If an unworthy woman like me had tried to snatch Jack away, it would have been even harder for me to gracefully give up.

It’s a good thing. Truly, it’s a good thing.

I forced a smile as I watched Jack and Lucia gaze at each other with eyes full of honey after ending the kiss.

I didn’t feel good about it, but I coNT*Rolled my emotions, like a child, so I wouldn’t fall apart or feel unjust.

Above all, I didn’t want to ruin the happiness on Jack’s face right now, which was greater than any moment I had ever seen.

I knew that if I stuck around here unnecessarily, it would be awkward for me, Lucia, and Jack.

I sincerely hoped that my childhood friend, who had already grown distant from me, could live happily.

So, I just smiled, despite the pain.
