piece of peace

Flint: [brutally raw and yet also poetic monologue about the nature of colonial “civilization”]

[HARD CUT]

she freaks out

I see no difference - the loving gaze full of longing when the women are not looking - the ultimate world champions in downbadism and loserism, being total suckers for the women they love.

They are their wives' greatest defenders and they would be BBFs, two chaebols with legal teams at their disposal, united in their exasperation, need to protect and love their strong but troublesome wives.

It's a profound, often heart-aching type of affection mixed with longing. Because of its heavier, melancholic weight, it is rarely used in casual, modern speech and is mostly reserved for historical dramas, period literature, or poetry.

They were willing to take whatever punishment came their way just so they could guarantee the other person was safe because they didn't care what happened to themselves as long as the other could live!

Even her betrayal was an act of love because it would grant him a lesser punishment than death, yet she couldn't even look at him.

But he couldn't stop looking at her as she trembled.

And now they are willing to do it all again.

Because even before her death, she thought of him and the plum blossoms that bloom out of season, amid the midwinter snow.

And even as she lay dying, frost fell on her in the middle of summer.

So in her next life, her grandmother names her after a flower that blooms out of season, in the frost.

Because flowers that bloom in season are no fun.

It's part of their charm.

This wasn't her their season.

But seasons eventually change.

The true meaning of a sun shower is that it comes so that the one you love may live a new and happy life.
