Into the book
Yul-i came to me and spoke seriously.
“What does that have to do with me?”
“Are you okay?”
“Then should I cry?”
Now my mouth hurt so much that I didn't want to talk.
Children believed only what they wanted to believe and never believed what they didn't want to believe.

--- p.22

“Do you still itch?”
“Huh? Oh, how did you know?”
“Someone will make you an offer.
“If you accept that offer, the itch will go away.”
“By any chance, these sneakers…….”
“I came to you because there was something you desperately wanted in your heart.
If you accept that offer, it will begin.
What you want.
But once you accept the offer, you won't stop even if you want to. Then there's only one way.
"Oh, what's that smell? Oh, it's burning, it's burning."
The moment I was about to ask if I was the owner of the sneakers, the woman cut me off, spoke only about herself, and slammed the front door.

--- pp.46-47

“It doesn’t matter.
A star is a star, whether it's pasted on with sheet music or properly made and pasted at a sign shop.
“That’s what’s important.”
--- p.61

'What kind of harmony is this?'
As I was walking with the Empress Dowager to the ice cream shop in the apartment complex, I remembered the woman I had met at the villa.
The woman did that.
If you accept someone's suggestion, the itching will go away.
And it will begin.
I still don't know what's going on, but the woman was right about the itchiness going away.

--- pp.90-91

“Then I guess I need to work harder.
I really want to see you ruined, Serang.
Let me say it again.
“Stop showing up in our neighborhood.”

Publisher's Review
One day, if you just do something, whatever you want will come true.
What if a pair of sneakers came to me?


It all started because of a part-time job at a sneaker dry cleaner that I was only supposed to do for one month during summer vacation.
A customer who demanded compensation for a wrongly washed item, a pair of sneakers that the customer told her to throw away because they were too ugly to even look at, and Empress Dowager who ran into them while wearing them to make a delivery.
no.
Going back further, there were speculations and fake news brought up in the cafeteria by Oserang, who had been constantly irritating us.

“Jangseon, do you think you are a good match for the Empress Dowager?”

Before he could even answer, Oh Se-rang linked him up with the most popular boy in school and a self-proclaimed prince, Tae-hu, and then he pushed him into the lowest class by taking into account his looks, grades, and even his family circumstances, turning the rumor into news.
But it didn't matter.
As long as it's not me.
But if you keep looking, there is no end to it.

I didn't know at first.
The reason why the soles of my feet itch so much every time I wear sneakers.
One day, Jang-seon learns that the Empress Dowager has a secret and accepts her offer.
I feel sorry for the Empress Dowager, who has no idea what the proposal means or what catastrophe it will bring, but there is nothing she can do.


“I came to you because you desperately wanted it in your heart.
Someone will make you an offer and if you accept it, it will begin.
But once you start, you can't stop."

I decide to put aside the whispers that keep brushing past my ears that day for a moment.

What is truly precious is always closest to you… …

Author Park Hyun-sook, who has captivated readers with her realistic fantasy world, has returned with a pair of cute and lovable yet creepy sneakers.
These sneakers go to find someone who has something they desperately want.
And the moment you put on those sneakers, a desire in your heart that you didn't even know you had arises.
A single word that may seem insignificant and light to some can be a dagger to others.
If only I could say what I couldn't say at that moment because I was too timid and missed the opportunity, would things have been different?
The protagonist, Jang-seon, learns the secret of the sneakers and takes action.
With a determination to never stop, whether it be revenge or retribution.

The envy and jealousy of teenagers and the bittersweet love of first love meet the warm and affectionate world of Park Hyun-sook's fantasy.
From the moment you open the first page until you close the last, you are not allowed even a moment's glance.
The protagonist's determination to find what is truly precious, what must never be lost, on the brink of tragedy and ruin is touching and endearing.


Author's Note

We are all precious beings, and the person who should love me the most is myself. Only when I love myself completely can I look at others with warm eyes. I can also acknowledge that each person is different.
I sincerely hope that those who read this story will come to know that fact.
