The Forbidden of Bonds
brief Information
author
Love is never simple, especially when it crosses boundaries it shouldn’t. This story explores emotions that are raw, complicated, and sometimes hard to face. Eun-woo and Hwang-in’s journey isn’t just about love—it’s about courage, restraint, and the fragile lines we draw between right and wrong. Thank you for stepping into their world with me. I hope their story stays with you, even after the final page.
Living under the same roof with someone you love is both a blessing and a curse. Especially when that someone is your stepbrother, Hwang-in. He's kind, dependable, and effortlessly perfect. But he's also untouchable.
For Eun-woo, these feelings started back in middle school—a crush that grew into something deeper, something he shouldn't feel. Hwang-in has always been the pillar of their family, raising five younger siblings with unwavering dedication. Family means everything to him.
That's why Eun-woo knows he should keep these feelings buried. But love isn't something you can hide forever, especially when you're an eighteen-year-old boy brimming with emotions you can't control. And when the cracks begin to show... well, some secrets refuse to stay hidden.

So see you in the 1st chapter~~
episode 1
Hwang-in (16 years old)
[Smiling warmly as he takes Eun-woo's small hands]😊
Hwang-in (16 years old)
Hello, Eun-woo. My name is Hwang-in.
Hwang-in (16 years old)
I've heard so much about you from Dad, and I'm glad to finally meet you.
Hwang-in (16 years old)
We're going to be brothers soon. Isn't that great? I'm going to take good care of you.
Eun-woo (8 years old)
[Thoughts]💭
I could only stare at his refreshing smile, completely mesmerized.😮
Eun-woo (8 years old)
[thoughts]💭
For a small-town boy like me, who'd never seen many visitors, Hwang-in felt like someone from a different world. His black hair and sharp eyes were… beautiful.
Eun-woo (8 years old)
(Thoughts)💭😮
Brothers? He said we were going to be brothers. The thought made my heart swell with joy. One big, happy family—Mom, my stepdad, and us six brothers.
But that joy only lasted five years. After their fifth anniversary, Mom and stepdad passed away in an accident. The happiness turned swiftly into sorrow. Yet, through determination and sticking together, we found joy again.
[Present Day Scene – Morning]🌤
Hwang-In
(cheerful, knocking on the door)
Hwang-In
Eun-woo? Wake up! It's already half past seven.
Eun-woo
(Thoughts)💭
I opened my eyes, greeted by the face that never failed to make women swoon—the same face that made my heart ache. My chest tightened, and that alone annoyed me even more.
Eun-woo
(groaning, turning away)
Didn't I tell you not to come into my room? Privacy, Hwang-in. Privacy.
Hwang-In
(laughing wholeheartedly)😂
Sorry, I can't help myself. Old habits die hard, you know?
Hwang-In
I've always been the one to wake you up. You sleep so deeply—it's adorable.
Eun-woo
(Thoughts)💭
Adorable? Who finds an eighteen-year-old sleeping adorable anyway?(҂⌣̀_⌣́)
episode 2
[Scene – Eun-woo’s Bedroom, Morning]
Hwang-In
(grinning)
You'd better get up; otherwise, you're going to be late for your part-time job...
Eun-woo
(muttering into the pillow)
I'll get up once you've made yourself scarce.
Eun-woo
(Thoughts)💭
I know I sounded snarky, but I couldn't help myself. Seeing him first thing in the morning was both the best and the worst thing for me..
Eun-woo
💭my heart still hasn't stopped racing since he walked in.💓
Hwang-In
(chuckling lightly)😁
You know, you used to like my face—a lot. You'd always stare at me and comment on how much you liked it.
Eun-woo
(Thoughts)💭
I felt him sit on the side of my bed and lean against the lumpy cocoon of my body.
Hwang-In
(playful, yet curious)
What happened?
(´・_・`)
Eun-woo
(Thoughts)💭
What happened? Really? What the hell happened?ಥ⌣ಥ
I wanted to yell at him, ‘You happened!’ I fell for you, for god's sake. Hard! ಥ⌣ಥ
Eun-woo
(grumbling into the pillow)
People change.
Hwang-In
What's that, Eun-woo? Did you say something?
Eun-woo
(flipping the duvet away and sitting up straight)
I said people change...
Hwang-In
(smiling warmly)
So, you're finally awake. About time. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Hwang-In
[Reaches out and tousles Eun-woo's bed hair]
Good morning, Eun-woo. How was your sleep?
Eun-woo
(brushing his hand away, face heating up)
It's… okay. Sleep is sleep.
Eun-woo
(Thoughts)💭
If I told him I had Masturbated 🍆…while thinking about him last night before I fell asleep—and that I even dreamed about doing with him—would that count as a good night's sleep?
Hwang-In
(cocking his head slightly)
You're moody today.
Eun-woo
(placing a hand on Hwang-in’s chest, trying to push him off the bed)
Get off!
Eun-woo
(Thoughts)💭
Damn, why did he have to be so much bigger than me? With that athletic build, that face, and that ridiculous charming smile, how could anyone not fall for him?..
╥﹏╥
Eun-woo
💭Ever since high school, there had always been strings of girlfriends attached to him…
