Description
Book Introduction
Are you looking forward to tomorrow?
A special book that predicts tomorrow's events, 'Black Book'
The unpredictable growth story of a boy who holds the Black Book!
Author Kim Ha-yeon, who delivered affectionate comfort to teenagers enduring loneliness in the bestselling novels 『The House Across Time 1, 2』, conveyed the power of small kindnesses shown to others in a weighty narrative in 『The Truth Only You Don't Know』, and spoke of the power of perseverance that does not give up in 『Jimyeong Girls' Middle School Mystery Novel Creation Class』, has returned with her new work 『Black Book』.
The day I organized library books with my classmates.
Jaeseung, a third-year middle school student who voluntarily did not join any cleaning group, accidentally discovers a book in a storage room that does not burn, get wet, or tear.
A unique book in which the cover and the page with today's date are white, while the rest of the pages are all black.
It turns out that this book has a strange power to tell what will happen tomorrow, and Jaeseung names it the 'Black Book'.
From the day he got his hands on the Black Book, Jaeseung's monotonous daily life took on a completely different tone.
Rather, it is full of unpredictable things that 'make you feel better'.
Friendships that were once thought meaningless become increasingly complicated, and the bruises on the arms of Sojin, a girl in the same class who skipped school as often as eating, become a constant concern.
It's just a shame that the film he submitted to a youth film festival did so well, putting himself and those around him at risk.
『Black Book』, which is set to give answers about tomorrow.
However, this novel has the paradoxical power to make countless 'Jaeseungs', who face each day without any particular expectations, create their own answers to the future by asking themselves what kind of today they should live.

Into the book
A black-covered book was in the fire.
Unlike other books whose paper quickly shriveled and burned, this one remained intact.
There was no time to admire the amazing sight.
The warehouse quickly filled with smoke from the fire extinguisher.
When all the lights went out, Jaeseung coughed and took the tongs from the corner and picked up the black book.
--- p.19
I don't have any grand ambitions, let alone any small dreams, but I just want to go to a decent university, work for a decent company, and live a decent life. However, to live like that, it requires more effort than I thought, let alone just a moderate amount.
--- p.25
What could have gone wrong?
I opened and closed the book several times, but I couldn't find the circle that would tell me the future.
When I asked if it would rain during gym class tomorrow, he answered quickly.
Then surely… …you’re only going to tell me about tomorrow?
--- p.31
If it's going to be a frustrating experience anyway, would it be better to know the outcome as soon as possible, or would it be better to spend a few hours filled with anticipation and dreaming of a happy future?
I don't know what the right answer is, but I shouldn't have gotten involved in this.
I should have let things take their course.
The anxiety of knowing the result and the beautiful imagination of the future should have been felt solely by Yoo-ju.
When Jaeseung told her the results, Yuju ended up getting confused.
The vain hope that he might contact her later was tormenting Yuju even more.
--- p.131
Look forward to tomorrow.
People are anxious and fearful about the future.
Because no one knows what will happen in the future.
So, people dream of a happy future and become religious, or they have fortune telling to know the future quickly.
In that sense, Jaeseung may have been incredibly lucky.
Even if it's just tomorrow, you can know the future through the Black Book.
but.
--- p.139
A person can live well enough on his own.
But it's also pretty cool to share your worries with people and laugh out loud together.
Jaeseung wanted to shout at the professor despite his fear.
I don't know about you, but I'm not alone anymore.
You end up knowing nothing.
--- p.205
Precious things I wouldn't have experienced without that book.
Jaeseung doesn't know how many people have that book.
I don't know what they did with that book.
But one thing was certain.
No one could have written that book as beautifully as I did.

Publisher's Review
“Park Do-ryeong.
“You said you could predict the future.”
If we knew tomorrow in advance, would our tomorrow truly be happy?
People always want to know about their future, such as ‘I will give you a tarot reading that suits you well.’ ‘I will predict your future destiny.’ ‘I will interpret your dreams and give you fortune telling.’
Some people don't mind paying huge costs if they can just know in advance.
I believe that if we know the future and prepare for it, we can live a better and happier life.
But really, if we knew what was going to happen to us in advance, would we be happy? Could we change the course of our destiny?
Middle school student Jaeseung acquires a black book that predicts one thing that will happen tomorrow each day.
At first, he was so excited that he decided to use the black book to his advantage, even trying to figure out the lottery numbers.
However, Jaeseung, who lives a monotonous life of going back and forth between school, home, and the academy without any decent friends to eat lunch with, soon begins to have questions about tomorrow that he will write in his black book.
Jaeseung, who felt he couldn't waste time asking questions like this, decided to observe the kids in his class for the first time.
And then, he starts writing down questions about the children's future in the black book.
'Will our class's Kim Hyung-min be able to catch the Irochi Pokémon tomorrow?', 'If Choi Seo-in confesses to Kim Hyung-min tomorrow, will they be able to date?', 'Will Jung Yu-ju receive a call tomorrow saying she passed the idol audition?', etc...
So, for the first time, Jaeseung looks forward to tomorrow.
I'm curious.
Jaeseung's friends also show interest in him, calling him 'Park Do-ryeong', and Jaeseung's quiet daily life gradually becomes bustling with friends.
Jaeseung is swept away by the sudden change in his daily life, and he meaninglessly writes down questions the children need in his black book.
Jaeseung, who was feeling lost while experiencing such a wide range of emotional changes, gradually begins to feel the weight of someone's 'tomorrow' that only he knows.
At the same time, we realize that talking about tomorrow is a source of happiness for some, and fear and suffering for others.
What made Jaeseung even more desperate was the fact that knowing tomorrow in advance wouldn't save Sojin from violence.
To those who desire tomorrow more than today
What is the real answer that Black Book wanted to teach us?
Jaeseung, who had thought he had no regrets living alone, begins to experience cracks in his daily life as Black Book and his classmates interfere with it.
But ironically, the ones who filled that gap were the very 'friends' who were the cause of that gap.
Jaeseung, who was assigned to film a short film in a group as a part of a Korean language performance assessment, feels himself changing as he makes short films of about 10 minutes in a group with Sojin, a picture book writer who dreams of becoming a president and frequently absent from school, who was connected by Black Book, and Yuju, who sleeps at school because she practices to become an idol until late at night.
I'm curious about the dark red bruise on Sojin's slender wrist, and I'm also concerned that she keeps wearing gym shorts instead of a skirt.
As Jaeseung's vision, which was limited to 'me', began to focus on 'others', he vaguely realized that sharing worries with others and laughing out loud together was quite a good thing.
At the same time, I change the questions in the Black Book from questions for myself to questions for others.
And with that question, you take active action to save someone.
This is something that would be impossible if it were a previous victory.
This dramatic change finally leads Jaeseung to inscribe a question containing the word "we" in the Black Book.
Jaeseung, who has learned to empathize and understand the pain of others, finally faces his own wounds that he has tried so hard to ignore.
I realize that I must piece together the fragments of my shattered memories one by one and reflect tomorrow like a mirror.
And without relying on the Black Book any longer, we take steps toward tomorrow.
Although each day may seem like a stagnant puddle, "Black Book" tells us that each day spent with those we cherish is a powerful stream flowing toward tomorrow, and that this alone is the unchanging prophecy.
