She Likes Gays, But Not Me Vol. 02

She Likes Gays, But Not Me Vol. 02

“I wonder why people like us are born.” Jun’s contemplative words echoed in the stillness of his room, the weight of his secret pressing down on him like a heavy cloak. Despite the progress society had made, Jun still found himself unable to embrace his true self openly, forced to conceal his sexuality behind a carefully constructed facade.

In an effort to maintain his facade, Jun made the decision to start dating his classmate, Sae. Their outings were filled with laughter and stolen glances, yet beneath the surface, Jun couldn’t shake the feeling of emptiness that gnawed at him from within. With each kiss shared in the shadows, Jun felt the weight of his deception grow heavier, suffocating him with each passing moment.

Desperate to prove to himself and the world that he could be “normal,” Jun pushed himself to go further, to do more—to be the perfect boyfriend. But try as he might, his efforts only seemed to highlight the gaping chasm between the person he pretended to be and the person he truly was. And as the facade began to crumble, Jun found himself teetering on the edge of a precipice, unsure of whether to take the plunge into honesty or cling to the safety of his lies.
