Emotions English doesn't have a word for
Three Korean feelings we all carry, quietly.
서운함
seounham
A quiet hurt from someone you love. Not anger, not sadness. Something softer.
답답함
dapdapham
Stuck with no air. The words won't come out, and your chest tightens on its own.
억울함
eogulham
Being wronged with no way to defend yourself. 'Unfair' doesn't quite cover it.
Right now
Bottling it up.
Saying 'I'm fine.'
Carrying it alone.
With Ongi
Understood.
Heard.
Lighter.
