I mean I get it’s a different culture and all but honestly I will never understand people’s way of thinking especially people who think having a baby outside of marriage is immoral or why the fuck it’s anybody business except that persons....again I know it’s a cultural thing or whatever but it still pisses me off

I also don't understand, it's like calling their own mother shameful and whispering about her. Just for having a baby on the way that they are bad mouthing her, maybe it's not a thing from where they are but having a baby is normal doesn't matter if it is before marriage of even if the baby doesn't have a father. They need to treat her with respect and stop putting all the blame on her. They need to put all of them in their places because that's just disrespectful in its own manner, whispering about and spreading rumors about a pregnant lady, she shouldn't be threatened to lose her job just because she has a baby it's the most normal thing in the world there is no problem or nothing wrong with it. and the principal

Can't wait till they find out that her baby's father is a higher up than them and can end up firing them in the end.

I'm not Korean, but I'm also Asian, and we have something like that at my place too. Asian cultures tend to be more strict and conservative, especially when it comes to women. You are instantly considered a disgrace to your family, if you even have sex before marriage, I'm not even talking about getting pregnant. There are still families to this day who check if the girl their son is about to marry is a virgin. Like literally. There is also this disgusting thing when your in laws check if there is virgin blood on your bed sheets after your first night with your husband. And if there is, they call the girl's parents to thank them for raising their daughter nicely.

Honestly it was really bad back then. Because a female can tear their hymen due to sports etc, and if you don't bleed, the husband's family will assume you to be a slut who has slept around before. Although now its much better, especially in developed asian countries, there are still stigma around pre-marital sex. Hymen reconstruction is actually a thing so that the girl can bleed again when having sex to make the guy believe shes a virgin.
Does anyone know where this continues in the novel so I can start there
