Forbidden Scroll

My mind was a mess—swirling with the explicit words I’d just read and that drawing.

Fans often praised the chemistry between Seo Injun and me.

I took it as “you two look fun together.”

But I guess I was too naive.

That “chemistry” wasn’t the innocent kind.

“Aaah…!”

I let out a dying groan and collapsed into the chair.

Curiosity really is poison.

I bit my lower lip hard and banged my forehead against the desk repeatedly.

After a while, I sneakily lifted my head.

On the empty phone screen, the drawing of Seo Injun stared back at me.

I swallowed hard and slowly picked up the phone again.

Looking closer, the details of Seo Injun’s face were perfectly captured.

Slightly upturned eye corners, sharp features, cold gaze, and cool expression.

“He’s handsome…”

No, that’s not the point.

I tried to zoom in on Seo Injun’s face but accidentally made the full image visible.

There I was on the screen, large, in his arms.

Looking closer—there were even red marks around my neck.

Tears in my eyes for some reason, and I was clutching and pulling open his shirt.

So this drawing’s situation is—

“Don’t imagine it.

Uuh, don’t imagine it in detail.

Please!”

I hurriedly hit back and escaped the image.

Covered my face with both hands and kicked the floor dozens of times.

I tried not to imagine, but my brain had already started running wild without permission.

Finally slammed the desk with my fist to snap out of it.

Let out a deep sigh and looked at the phone with complicated eyes.

Below it, more drawings and posts about me and Seo Injun continued.

Right, this is fan art.

Works fans made with love, pouring their time.

Thinking that, I patted my chest.

No courage to see the stimulating images at a glance—clicked a different post this time.

Like possessed, entered the link—countless words filled the screen.

Scroll bar showed—it was an incredibly long novel.

Scrolled down a bit and carefully read from the middle.

Jangma turned to the side with a flushed face as soon as the stream ended.

His pouty lips kept twitching.

Under the desk, a large hand was ravaging Jangma’s slender thigh.

Jangma let out heated breaths at the bold hand slipping inside the loose pants.

Finally, he hurriedly grabbed Injun’s wrist to stop it.

Injun’s straight eyebrows rose slightly.

His cold lips parted, low voice flowed.

Let go.

My fingers trembled as I scrolled.

Suddenly the screen switched and vibration rang.

Phone icon with Seo Injun’s name appeared.

“Uh uh?”

No idea why calling, but this state—no way talk.

Finger moved to reject.

But out of control hand opposite pale head moved.

—Hello…

“Uaaaaak!”

Answered the call.

Just now what doing—crazy answered Seo Injun call.

Screamed sudden—phone other side long silence.

Cut now—call again probably, truth say my glass mental impossible.

Situation unknowing Seo Injun worry full voice asked.

—…Why?

Something happen?

“Sorry.

Really sorry.

Seo Injun-ssi, really not meant…”

—Yes?

“First curiosity… no, fans love gave how ignore.

So did.

Really sorry!”

Machine gun excuse spilled escape like call cut.

Rough breath dazed screen stared.

Just now what said.

Seo Injun daytime meaningless excuse heard.

Sure not long text one came.

Very calm tone unlike messed me.

[Again something happen?

Okay right?]

Daily life can’t seem.

Broadcast time came chair dazed sat only.

Me still mind not caught unfortunately sun set.

Seo Injun what reply tried several times wrote deleted.

Deliberate ice cold water body washed out.

Or rather clear hard game other think can’t make.

Hour around game searched finally suitable bought installed.

Prepare finished usual broadcast on time bit late.

Hurried headset wore broadcast start pressed.

[▶ Nuna ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

[▶ Jangma ya hyung too]

“Yes, hyung!”

Honorific think definitely older familiar.

So younger bit distant feel.

Me known olders all reliable image me someone older became awkward.

Probably me immature because.

Me younger to support reliable not.

“Ordered!
