This is a personal story (written as though I was a character and not myself) about my experience as someone part of the LGBTQ+ living in Korea. (Some events were changed or altered to protect people and to make it an interesting read)

Trigger warnings: mental health decline, mention of shooting/murder (one sentence and nothing "on-screen"), and alcohol.

Quick synopsis:

When I found you, I found the closest thing to heaven. Or was it a living nightmare? Sure, things were like a movie and almost too good to be true. Life seriously doesn't work out like a movie, right? Sometimes. But with the wonderful meet-cutes and movie magic comes the inevitable conflict. And ho boy, does that conflict hit hard. So what is a girl to do with this experience? Share it for the world, naturally.
