classic korean blackpill novel

[케이제이]

The Wings (novel) by Yi Sang​

The main character 'I' and his wife live in a brothel. ‘I’ is not healthy, has intense self-consciousness and has no sense of reality. He was ‘Wife’s husband' and got his wife by trial and error.

After his wife goes out, he goes to her room to smell her cosmetics or burn her toilet paper with a magnifying glass to replace his desire for a wife. He pondered for several days on why his wife's guests gave her money, and concluded that it was a pleasure. He goes out while his wife is gone, wondering what kind of pleasure it is. He wandered aimlessly from street to street until well into the night without spending a penny, losing his reason. When he went out many times like this, he catches a cold. She uses this as an opportunity to give him sleeping pills to keep him from leaving the 'sunless room'.

After finding the Adalin box in his wife's room, he goes up to the mountain to study his wife. ‘I’ ate six sleeping pills at once. ‘I’ sleep there all day and night, and wake up. He thought that he had taken aspirin and that she had taken adaline, so he returned home sorry for doubting his wife. Seeing him, his wife got angry and said, "Do you stay up all night stealing or playing with other woman?". Feeling unfair, he spurned his seat and went out. ‘I’ finds himself on the roof of Mitsukoshi and recalls his past.

After leaving Mitsukoshi, it was a little difficult for him to tell whether it was right for him to return to his wife. The siren of noon cries, and ‘I’ wanted to shout “Wings, spread out again! Fly. Fly. Let me fly once more. Let me fly just once more"

Really depressing honestly, even more when you realize many men live like this or similarly.
