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.”
