Hey yall! chapter 1 of my ORV fit is up now!

a Reader and Protagonist's stupid little love affair

Summary:

Kim Dokja may have started sleeping with a certain protagonist on the regular recently, but that doesn't mean he *loves* him, does it? Atleast, he doesn't think it does. Certain other people disagree, strongly.

Please like n rb if you like it! It would mean the world to me

Korean Age

Just thought I might write something short about this?

How to calculate it! Korean age is +2 on your international age if you're birthday hasn't passed this year and +1 if it has!! And then +2 again on new years. I've had to calculate this my whole life and that's the easiest way to keep track. Only that I take 1 or 2 years to keep track of my international age.

Korean age is like this because you're 1 immediately when you're born and It's believed that you age on new years regardless of your birthday. So everyone born in the same tear is the same age. By default January birthdays and December birthdays are considered the same age. My birthday is Dec 31 so I turned 2 a day after I was born.

(Tmi, the age on my blog description is my international age, and my birthday has obviously not passed. Right now in year 2021 I am 19 in Korean age)

Why use it? Tradition, culture, and just.. it's easier? In Korean society?

The biggest and main issue is how we call someone older than us. See, in the Korean aging system everyone born in the same year is the same age, and that doesn't change. So it's easy to know who to call hyeung, oppa, noona, unnie (in order, how to call a male that's older than you by a male and female, and how to call a female that is older than you by a male and female). If we use international age it gets messy.

Born in the same year but my birthday is late and theirs past so I call someone unnie, but then my birthday passes and we're the same age. Do i call that person unnie or not? If I were to I would feel weird because we're the same age for part of the year. If I don't it also gets weird because she's older than me for part of the year.

Just to clarify calling someone older than you with just their name in Korea is a huge no. So we can't drop that system either. It's a matter of culture.

Also school. School in Korea starts in March and ends in December - January. One grade consists of kids that were born in the same year, therefore the same age. If international age comes in that system it's an extention of problem 1 but.. worse. Because well, teenagers and kids. Some of whom suddenly called older and therefore more 'mature' than late birthdays of the same grade. And suddenly have a little bit more power due to how some kids in their grade have to call them. Need I say more? The same issue would arise if we were to start school in Fall so that doesn't really work either.

If you have any questions pls ask!
