Choi san - Priest (bl)

최 산 신부는 제단 앞에 서서 신도들에게 주간 강론을 전하고 있었다. 그의 목소리는 강하고 안정적이면서도 어딘가 슬픔이 서린 채 성당 안에 울려 퍼졌다. 운명이 그의 세상에 특별한 누군가를 데려왔기에, 그의 삶이 영원히 바뀔 것이라는 사실을 그는 아직 알지 못했다.

강 여상은 회중석에 조용히 앉아 산 신부의 말에 귀를 기울였다. 이전에도 수없이 미사에 참석했지만, 오늘은 느낌이 달랐다. 산 신부가 말하는 방식, 그리고 그의 눈빛에는 여상의 영혼에 닿아 울림을 주는 무언가가 있었다.

미사가 끝난 후, 여상은 산 신부에게 다가가 자신이 새로운 복사단원이라고 소개했다. 산은 이 흥미로운 청년과 대화를 나눌 기회가 생긴 것에 감사하며 그를 따뜻하게 맞이했다. 대화를 나누며 산은 여상의 지성과 재치에 매료되었고, 여상은 산의 깊은 영적 지식에 감탄했다.

Father Choi San was a devout priest, dedicated to serving his parish and upholding the teachings of the Catholic Church. At the age of 23, he had already accomplished more than most priests twice his age, earning the respect and admiration of his congregation. However, when Kang Yeosang, a 19-year-old altar boy, joined the church, Father San found himself wrestling with an unexpected and forbidden attraction.
Yeosang was everything Father San was not – vibrant, joyful, and full of life. His infectious laughter echoed through the church halls, and his warm smile lit up the dreary corners of the sacred space. It didn't take long for Father San to realize that he was falling for the young altar boy, a realization that filled him with dread and shame.
Each night, Father San knelt before the crucifix, praying fervently for the strength to resist his desires. He sought guidance from the Bible and the saints, hoping to find solace in their teachings. Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake off the yearning that gnawed at his heart whenever Yeosang was near.
Father San knew that acting upon his feelings would be a betrayal of his vows, his faith, and his entire existence as a priest. But as the days went by, the burden of his secret became increasingly unbearable. He found himself torn between his sacred duty and the all-consuming desire
