Chapter 85
So this is what it’s like to become famous overnight.
Tae-seo stared at his phone, his hair still messy from sleep, not even bothering to fix it.
Photos and videos of him with Kang Se-heon were circulating all over the internet. His face was everywhere. The absurdity of it made a helpless laugh slip out of him.
“They’re spreading it without my permission. The least they could do is blur my face, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° don’t you think?”
He muttered around a toothbrush, his words slurred. But more often than not, the images didn’t have any mosaics at all. There were photos of him and Kang Se-heon holding out their ringed hands, his brows furrowed in thought, and even ones of him smiling at Se-heon—photos that showed emotions he hadn’t even realized he was wearing.
Tae-seo glanced back and forth between the pictures in the articles and his own face in the mirror. Maybe because he hadn’t washed his face yet, but the clean-cut Yoon Tae-seo in the photos didn’t look like him.
“I look better in person. They should’ve just asked. Taking it secretly made me look weird.”
It was a thoroughly subjective evaluation. After browsing enough articles, he figured it was time to leave the bathroom. The rest he could read while comfortably seated.
He set his phone down and finished brushing his teeth. Once he’d washed up and stepped into the living room, Se-heon looked up from his phone.
“Come here.”
“What were you looking at?”
“News articles.”
