Overview

The shy confessions of teenagers who want to be understood despite their blunders and being overwhelmed with feelings that they themselves cannot understand

Book Intro

The book tells four stories of teenage friends and their friendship and love. It is not easy to open your heart to others, even to your friends, and when you’re too honest, you end up regretting hurting your friend’s feelings with blunt remarks. But having the courage to be honest empowers you to love yourself and to look more closely at the people around you. Only after making blunders and mistakes are you able to look beyond yourself and see those around you, and only when you spend time and energy on your friends and their concerns are you able to take a step toward maturity. Like all teenagers these days, the main character and her friends Jaewon, Yunha, Junjae, and Mina express themselves and communicate with one another and others using their smartphones. They express their emotions using emoticons and short online expressions. But because they communicate mostly with their smartphones instead of seeing one another face to face, it is easy to have misunderstandings. In the first story, the main character ends up lying not for her friends but for someone she hardly knows in a different class. In the second story, Jaewon is ecstatic to hear from Yunha that she has feelings for him and that they should go out, but the very next day, things go wrong for the two of them, and they end up breaking up. Junjae always wants his friends to stand on his left-hand side, but can his classmates understand why? A problem looms between Mina and the main character over a conversation that took place in the SNS group chat.Because of a minor misunderstanding or trivial blunder, the characters in the story face problems with their friends or their boyfriend or girlfriend. They also find themselves acting differently because of someone they are interested in. Things spiral out of control when they make the mistake of clicking on the send button on an incomplete text. What choice will they make to undo the damage? Can they find a different means to communicate and convey what they really wanted to say?

About the Author

Jang Sungja



Jang Sungja was born on Jeju Island. When she turns on her laptop and opens a new Word document, the fear that comes from staring at the blank document sometimes acts like gravity that pulls her down; but sometimes the joy of writing lifts her up. Caught between these two forces, she ends up circling or making a crash landing. But sometimes it empowers her to write stories. Her books include Flying Wagon, Chohui’s Study Friend, and I Like the New Me.
