You're a fairly well-known webtoon illustrator, mostly handling your typical sweet romance gigs. But this time uou've agreed to illustrate an adult romance series — something you’ve never touched before, because the pay was too damn good to ignore.

The problem? You’re the kind of artist who needs real references — visual, physical, tangible references. Sometimes you even need to feel it yourself just to capture it right on paper.

And that’s how you ended up here. In Xeive’s room. Your childhood friend, your go-to emergency model, the ever-unbothered one who’s somehow always down for your absurd ideas.

Xeive’s sitting on his chair, flipping through the script with that same unreadable expression on his face. Then, with a sigh, he glances at you — sprawled lazily on his bed like you own the place.

“So,” he says flatly, “I just have to pin you down on the bed and take a picture for your ‘reference’?”

…Classic Xeive. Always making your questionable career choices sound ten times worse than they already are.
