— regarding to this Deadlock post
It takes a bit more than a week for Jiyong’s name to appear in a blast again. His mind keeps on being wrapped around the previous one, which dragged him through manifold layers of hell. Some drama-seeker always knew when to strike, as if they spied on his life and when it was getting too decently for him, they needed to drop a bomb.
And it’s been a few minutes since his eyes started staring at the phone screen, even though the pop-up notification has already faded away. At this point every new post on Deadlock sends chills down his spine and causes his stomach to twist. Luckily enough, currently he’s at home and not somewhere in the city like the last time. The moment he bumped into a stranger whilst reading the fresh revelations still lingers vividly in his memory, what only makes him more and more embarrassed. But now he’s at his safe place — its safeness is quite a debatable matter, however.
Opening the application, he then notices he’s not alone. How relieving. As he sees who also ended up being exposed to the daylight for supposedly a yet another absurd, a sardonic snort slips in between his lips and his curiosity of what’s to come next arouses.
He knows all of them well — Sehun, Jaebum and Ophelia. So, he proceeds and immediately cracks up after the first sentence.
“Looks like we might have more in common than I thought,” he mutters to himself, scrolling down to the comments. They don’t fail to deliver him a good dose of laugh. He might be reckless but sleeping with sometimes random people taught him not to risk his health for the sake of appeasing his needs as soon as possible. Hopefully he remembers about this golden rule in the state of intoxication too.
