10,000 Miles to Forever

When Jaesung left America for university in Seoul he thought he'd made a clean break.

Finally free of the narrow minded small mentality of the town he grew up in, he could be himself. He finished school and built a new life in Korea and now has budding career as an innovative, up and coming tattoo artist.

What would the small Midwest community think of him now, heavily tattooed and openly gay? He never wanted to find out.

But he can't avoid his responsibilities forever, and he reluctantly finds himself back in America again to empty his childhood home after his mother's death. It all seems too overwhelming until his neighbor and long-time crush, who himself seems to have had the glow-up of the century, steps in to help when he struggles to cope as deeply held secrets from his past are uncovered.

Now as years of pent-up emotions come rushing back, Jae can't help wondering how it will ever be possible to leave again.

10,000 Miles to Forever is heartfelt story about what happens after "coming of age" and "coming out." It's when you've had the space to grow into your own skin, but don't quite have the courage to face your old life. Full of romance, humour, and a superfluous amount of pizza references, it truly is an inspirational tale of finding love at the end of the journey home.
