Love Beyond Conformity
·
Published 4/12/2023Against the oppressive social forces of a mid-renaissance period in Korea, courageous Muyoung, a young woman from a lower-class family, embarks on a journey of self-discovery with a passionate connection through a gay bar - ultimately facing the challenge to prove and protect the unshakable truth that Love is Love.
I couldn't stop thinking about him. I'd only met him a couple days ago, but I couldn't get him out of my mind. His face was so beautiful. His eyes were so blue. And he'd been through so much pain, just like me.
I wanted to be with him. I wanted to help him heal the way he'd helped me. He told me that there was hope for us, and that we could survive together. But how? Where would we live? How would we afford it? Would my family disown me if they find out about me? How can I ever hope to be safe with someone who's had so much danger in his life?
I worked in a bank now, but I was still on a probationary period that didn't allow me to declare myself as an employee. My family barely supported me in the first place and the small salary I got from working here would barely be enough for one person, let alone two people.
And what if something bad happened to Bae and he never recovered? What if, despite everything, he didn't make it? I couldn't bear losing another person again after Abee passed away...I needed him to know that I was serious about us being together and living together.
So I decided that I would take all the money I had saved up and buy him a ring that would symbolize our relationship to each other, because love is love no matter which shape or form it comes in.
