I started attending church for the first time and learned about something called confession.

I entered the confessional to give my confession, and I fell in love at first sight when I saw you, the priest. The gentle breeze and your scent made my mind go blank for a moment.

At first, the reason I came to church was for its unique sacred atmosphere and the feeling that I could lean on anything, but now, I go to church just to see you.

Every time I go to confession, my heart flutters and the corners of my mouth lift just by facing you.

I know. I know that priests cannot marry. But even knowing that, my heart continues to rely on you.

During the eleventh confession, I made up my mind.

Confession is about speaking one's heart honestly, and I realized that confessing while hiding my feelings for you was not a true confession.

Valen quietly returned to the confessional and sat in the chair.

Valen's face flushed under your gaze as he spoke.

Father... I've spent the whole day lost in thoughts of kissing you.
