Chapter 9: Confession

The burning scented candle made him feel like he was wrapped in a soft cloth through the night. After the passionate act, Edward couldn’t close his eyes as he stared at Sweet Pea, who had fallen asleep.

‘Beautiful. No, those words are not enough.’

Holy.

The white, soft skin and the curves of the body that fall gracefully like a swan. The round buttocks and the breasts which fit in one hand were as wonderful as looking at the goddess of beauty.

How the heck could he not worship such a woman? How could he give up everything he has and not love her?

Edward blankly stared at Sweet Pea’s silver hair and very carefully tucked it behind her ear. His touch was gentle so as to not wake her up.

“Ung…”

As always, Sweet Pea, once she fell asleep, didn’t know who would pick her up. In fact, he didn’t know how many times he had carried and held a sleeping Sweet Pea to the Rabbithall residence from his house. She slept very deeply every time. So even if he whispers to her like this, she would never wake up.

“I have loved you for so long. Now that love has become a habit; it has become a habit that I can’t let go.”

Although his voice was trembling, it was a slow confession filled with sincerity. He was surprisingly calm. It was the first time he revealed his heart since he was little, but as he just said, he had already become accustomed to loving Sweet Pea.

“How can I leave you alone when it’s already like this?”

Leaving a woman alone after that would be the work of a scoundrel. The other day, he thought that De Niro should not be caught, and he was half-conscious and drunk on Sweet Pea’s flesh, which he had tasted for the first time. So he leaned against the outside wall of the house and sat there until Sweet Pea woke up in the morning. He was mesmerized as he watched the sun rise and the light illuminate the world. And when he felt her stir, he quietly returned to the mansion.

‘But I’m not going back today.’

If this is the case, the truth must now be revealed. Even if he would be slapped in the cheek, be hit, or even be called trash, he had to be heard. He had to bear with Sweet Pea’s outrage and her wrath, and he intended to bow down at her feet. He was sorry for deceiving her, yet he must reveal his wretched love in detail.

‘It will be a long night.’

Playing with Sweet Pea’s soft toes, he glanced out the window. The window was closed tightly in case her voice would come out, but the darkness was clearly visible because the curtain was slightly rolled up. The dark night sky, like his greed. Sweet Pea was like the only shining moon there.

‘I wish the morning would come, and yet I hope the sun never rises.’

He would spend the rest of his life begging for Sweet Pea’s forgiveness and trying to win her heart, but he was afraid. How will she react when she finds out that he is De Niro?

Although he was calm in the face of difficult issues, it was always difficult to solve problems related to Sweet Pea.

Edward obliquely lay down and looked at her eyelashes and the double eyelids that had been layered on top of each other due to fatigue.

As expected, he couldn’t be defeated if he hadn’t fallen in love with her.

* * *

Sweet Pea had a dream. Warm weather. A park full of flowers. Obviously, she was happily dating De Niro, but at some point, he disappeared. He couldn’t have left her, but as she went around and around the same place for a while, wondering where he had disappeared, someone tapped her shoulder, and she turned her head. The man standing under the golden sun…

‘Oh.’

Her eyelids felt heavy.

Sweet Pea suddenly regained consciousness and slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry at first. By the time her vision became clear, her waist seemed to fall off, and there was no pain in her shoulders or chest.

“…Ouch.”

‘Why is my body like this?’

Sweet Pea went through her dazed mind and stopped her tossing and turning. Oh my gosh, that’s right. She did it! Yesterday she became one with Edward. Before she even got married, she had done something rash!

‘Oh my goodness!’

Besides, Edward’s stuff was too big. She hadn’t compared it to other men’s, but she was convinced that such thickness and length would not be common.

Because of that, when he first entered her inside, it was so painful that she cried. After he kissed and comforted her so many times to get used to it, it was okay to a certain extent, and as she tried not to give it as much strength as possible and persevered, the entry process became smooth.

‘And from then on, I felt like I was going crazy.’

Stars twinkled before her eyes. Sweet Pea trembled as she recalled the feeling of sex again. Oh my gosh!

Even when she ate the best cream puffs, she wasn’t this thrilled!

(TL/C: Comparing mixing with Edward to creampuffs… lmao! Poor Edward!)

‘Did Edward go back?’

She groped for warmth on the side of the bed next to her, but of course, it was cold. It was a little bit disappointing, but it’s not that she didn’t understand, so Sweet Pea tried to muster energy to get up.

“Aww…”

Her back hurt and she had to sit down again.

‘Should I wash up first?’

But she couldn’t even move one step.

There were no maids here, so she would have to do everything by herself.

After protesting for a moment, Sweet Pea noticed something very strange on a table not far away. Something that looked like a washbasin when she observed it. It was worth going up there, so she hesitated and moved. There was warm water flowing. Fluffy towels, toothpaste, and cosmetics to apply to the face after freshening up. Everything was new.

‘Did Edward take care of this?’

The water was still warm.

Sweet Pea flinched when she put her hand into the washbasin. That means Edward was here not too long ago…?

‘Is he still here?’

As De Niro? Or, as Edward?

Sweet Pea thought deeply as she washed her face. When she took off De Niro’s mask yesterday, it was Edward who was there, but she wondered what Edward is going to do from now on?

She wanted to know if he would only meet her as De Niro or if he would reveal that he was Edward.

‘Let’s go.’

After washing her face, she felt refreshed. Sweet Pea stepped into her favorite pale purple slippers and changed her clothes. Her muscle aches are excruciating, but not so bad that she needed to lie down. It must have been because Edward delicately adjusted his intensity.

‘I held it in and thought it was a part of my heart that I got rid of. I thought there was nothing wrong with being a real friend, and I actually felt like that…’

She thought it was a sprout that she stepped on and killed, but in truth, she had only been eagerly waiting for the rain.

Sweet Pea thought her heart was pounding. Something in her stomach kept tickling, and she couldn’t stay still. Her back was twisted, her throat was dry, and her lips were dry. A heart filled with anxiety and nervousness but also with happiness.

‘I can’t give up.’

It was at this moment that Sweet Pea, who was so determined, vigorously opened the door to the living room.

“Huh…?”

‘What is all this?’

Red and white petals were mixed and scattered on the floor. They were not scattered randomly but made a beautiful roses path. The candles placed between them added to the mystery, and Sweet Pea had no choice but to tilt her head.

The curtains were all lowered, so the room was dark even though the sun was halfway through. However, the path of flowers continued right up to the front door. It was as if it was trying to keep her from approaching the window.

Sweet Pea was so curious about what was going on outside the house that she was delighted, but she quietly decided to walk along the flower path.

If Edward has prepared something, she wants to see what it is. She didn’t want the steam to leak by peeping.

(PR/N: doesn’t want the surprise to be ruined.)

It’s a small house, so it’s seven steps to the front door.

The sound of footsteps stopped and Sweet Pea opened the front door. After passing through a relatively dark place, she felt the warmth of the sunlight coming through and dazzled her eyes. She had no choice but to squint.

“Sweet Pea.”

Someone approached her with a soft voice. His warm arms hugged her, and his soft lips pressed against her forehead. Although he wore a mask, his voice was completely different from Edward’s, but it will be Edward nonetheless.

Sweet Pea believed so and slowly lifted her head up.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes.”

“I have something to tell you.”

Silly.

The way he talked was like Edward. It’s to the point where he couldn’t deny it at all. Or maybe he didn’t want to hide it anymore.

“I’m sorry for deceiving you until now. I couldn’t do this… I couldn’t stand it if your sex partner was another man.”

“…….”

“You can kick me and hit me. But know this, I… I was sincere in everything I did.”

A trembling tone. Complex emotions are embedded in the inhalation and exhalation. Sweet Pea hugged him without realizing it.

Edward wasn’t one who made any decisions lightly. He was not impulsive and everything was serious. So she thought there must be a reason why he dressed up as De Niro. And the reason is so…

“Was it… because I was dating another man?”

Sweet Pea’s lips parted softly. The stiff man’s shoulders twitched and shook violently. There was no answer, but it was nothing more than an affirmation that it was true.

“Jealous… were you?”

Sweet Pea asked again. She wanted to hear it with his mouth. He was jealous. He was jealous. That’s why he dressed up as De Niro and acted like another man.

To the extent, he said that he had an irrational crush on her, no, his heart…!

‘I didn’t realize it until now!’

She didn’t expect this!

Indeed, when she thought about the act last night, there was a deep affection in every hand gestures and touch. He tried to be considerate of her so that she wouldn’t have a hard time and allowed her to peak. It wasn’t just the kind of sex that filled his greed, but he could say that he made love to her.

That’s because Edward had a heart for her.

“I have loved you for a long time, Sweet Pea.”

Edward let her go. The eyes behind the mask were so serious. His large hand slowly turned towards the mask, and then there was a click. The mask fell to the floor.

Somewhere the wind blows and a sweet scent spreads, and Sweet Pea realizes that there was a huge arch of flowers behind his back.

“Edward.”

“Yes.”

“De Niro is Edward, and Edward is De Niro. That’s right.”

Sweet Pea mumbled softly. Edward was staring at her with a calm expression, but he couldn’t help the trembling at the corners of his eyes. Sweet Pea stared at him quietly.

Purple eyes without anger, sadness, or resentment.

There was a clear sense of happiness and satisfaction in it.

So she quietly opened her mouth once more.

“I was already expecting you.”

“…You did?”

“Yes. Silly. As much as you know me, do I not know you as well?”

Still, it’s a little bit awkward, so she has to keep it a secret that she has liked him since she was a kid. Later, in the distant future, after some time has passed, she can tell him.

Sweet Pea stuck her tongue out. Then she quickly let out a laughter, which she muffled.

She got a confession. According to the book, the order should be changed, but it was not bad that this happened. When they have a daughter someday, she will tell her. Sweet Pea will have to keep this memory for a long time, so she’ll write it as a novel as well.

Sweet Pea picked up her hands and wrapped her arms around Edward’s neck. Edward looked a little relieved, raised his eyebrows, smiled, and kissed her forehead.

“I have something else to say.”

“Yes? In addition?”

“Yes. It’s important.”

For what reason Sweet Pea tilted her head, but took a step back away from Edward. Edward coughed haphazardly, he cleared his neck and straightened his clothes. It seemed like he was going to tell a really important story, so Sweet Pea was nervous too.

In the sky, the wind blew the petals from the flower arch. In front of a beautiful thing stood a man who seemed to be the most beautiful creature in the world. He slowly knelt down on his knees, looking straight at her.

Suddenly, all the scenery around her seemed to slow down so that it didn’t feel real anymore.

“Will… Will you marry me?”

Her blond angel has made an irresistible proposal to her. He soon pulled out a ring box from the inside pocket of his jacket and opened the lid with a click. The very scene Sweet Pea had always written about in her novels. The male protagonist presents a gorgeous and expensive diamond ring as a promise of eternity. The female protagonist was so happy to receive it that she was at a loss.

But as she wrote the same scene again and again, Sweet Pea never thought that one day she would be the protagonist of such a scene. Somehow it felt too much for her.

‘This is what they mean.’’

Her breath was caught short. The ring was sparkling with diamonds, and Edward was looking at her with eyes adorned with his endless love for her.

Such a romantic and sweet moment.

Sweet Pea nodded her head slowly, pressing against her pounding chest.

“Yes… Oh.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I like it! I really, really love it!”

“Thank god!”

How can she hate it? Sweet Pea felt like she fell into a fantasy and was smiling cutely at him as if she’s relieved. Then she heard a pop in her ears, and her face burned, and her head felt dizzy.

Proposal.

It was because she realized the weight of that one word now.

Now… From now on, it’s not Sweet Pea Rabbithall. It’s going to be Sweet Pea Warwick.

“Don’t think too much, Sweet Pea.”

Edward immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered how he knew her heart.

“Everyone will help you get used to it. I will too.”

“Yes.”

Yes, with Edward, what could she be afraid of? Her father said that all problems become infinitely difficult if you think of them as difficult, and infinitely easier if you think of them as easy.

Of course, she still doesn’t know how her family will react when she gets married…

‘I loves Edward!’

Someone to be with for the rest of your life. A life partner who would live with you not only when you are pretty and young, but also when you are old. It may not only have happy and pleasant things. Surely, there would be times when it hurts and times when hardships and adversity come. If it was Edward who would hold her hands tightly at all those moments, Sweet Pea seemed to be able to overcome anything.

“I suddenly remembered the ending of the new work.”

“Ending?”

“Yes! It’s the first time I thought of the ending. But I want to try it out…!

It’s been difficult to write one page because she was in a slump these days, but now she thought she could do it. With such rising confidence, Sweet Pea tightly held Edward’s hand. Edward held her hand too and did not let go.

Sweet Pea threw the sentence out of her mouth as she looked at Edward, who would soon become her best friend and her beloved husband.

<A mask was no longer needed between them, united by faith.>

A long, long, long-running romantic story.

A happy marriage ending to a dizzyingly perfect story.
