Sword Dance

In the winter before he was due to graduate from university, Su-hwa ran away from Jin-woo. The two had been bound by a persistent, ill-fated affair caused by an accident… Unwittingly, Su-hwa found himself drawn in, only for his unrequited love to be trampled on mercilessly. “Ah, for f*ck’s sake… I’m not some worthless rag.” Jin-woo treated him like nothing more than a toy, wearing Su-hwa down, body and mind. In the end, Su-hwa, exhausted, hid the fact he was pregnant with Jinwoo’s child and disappeared. Yet a few years later, the quiet life Su-hwa had believed he could enjoy with his child was shattered by Jin-woo’s sudden reappearance. “You wretch! The heavens will surely punish you!” “Hey, lady. You’ve certainly set up quite a show here, messing about with someone else’s partner and kid, have you?” Su-hwa was terrified. He wanted nothing more than to flee, but he couldn’t. “Your little run’s over, Yeon Su-hwa.” Like a nightmare resurrected from his university days, Choi Jin-woo stood before him once again. “You’ll never escape from me again.” *This work contains depictions of violence, gaslighting, and coercive relationships, which may be triggering.
