Into the book
How will a child who's barely graduating from middle school handle the stress of college and getting a job? If he can't overcome it now, he'll grow up to be the same.
It means that you become a person who cannot overcome any adversity in life.
My mother said that, and I heard it perfectly, so it became my opinion.
Jang Tae-hee was stubborn despite being weak, and her mother was ruining her child by pretending to be an understanding parent.
If Jang Tae-hee were my mother's daughter, would she have been able to refuse school so brazenly? Conversely, if I were Jang Tae-hee's mother's daughter, would I have felt as comfortable refusing school as she did? So, who bears more responsibility for Jang Tae-hee's school refusal? Her parents or her?
I wanted to believe that adults had greater responsibility, but it was difficult to jump to conclusions because parents of unusual children had their own struggles.
--- pp.28-29
How did Jang Tae-hee come to like Purple Jelly?
Love is a very strange thing, and it's incredibly difficult to understand how it works.
The first thing I learned when I started liking Purple Jelly was this.
Of course, Purple Jelly was a group that deserved to be loved, but they should have been loved by everyone on Earth, not just the entire nation, but that wasn't what actually happened.
It feels natural for me to like purple jelly, but other people might think it's natural for them not to like purple jelly.
Jang Tae-hee was the most difficult person I'd ever met to understand, so how could she possibly like the same thing as me? I was delighted, yet somehow uneasy, suspicious yet interested.
--- pp.46-47
People don't talk about purple jelly anymore.
Not only people who don't know Purple Jelly and hate Purple Jelly, but also people who know Purple Jelly and loved Purple Jelly avoided mentioning it as much as possible.
The fan cafe still had a good atmosphere.
However, the number of active members gradually decreased, and the time between new posts also became longer and longer.
The people who remained were also unable to actively raise issues about it.
Who can be blamed?
It was easy to blame the agency, but it was foolish to hold them responsible for this situation.
--- pp.63-64
“Because I like Ellie too.
So I'm really upset right now.
“Who are you to imitate Ellie?”
“It’s natural to want to be like someone you like.”
Jang Tae-hee hesitated for a moment and then suddenly snapped, leaving me speechless.
I didn't like Ellie because I wanted to be like her or be like her.
My feelings for Ellie were closer to what is called a pseudo-romantic feeling.
The way Ellie, always the boy in love, imagines what it would be like if the person he had in mind were me.

Publisher's Review
About the heart that cherishes a single handful of love until the end
Park Seo-ryeon's young adult novel, a journey into the sorrows of a teenager that shine like jewels.
Park Seo-ryeon has consistently published novels for young adults, vividly portraying the world of young adults and representing their voices, while also working to expand the scope of young adult novels.
The first volume of the short youth literature series "T-Shorts," "Purple Jelly's Expiration Date," is also part of that work, and it depicts the story of two friends who had no connection at all finding out that they like the same idol, expressing the sadness they had never shown before and moving forward again.
The weight of grief that I must have endured alone in a reality where I could not hope for comfort or understanding, and the great loss that I must have experienced for the first time in my life at the age of my anxious and wavering teenagers, is painfully felt.
Love is a very strange thing, and it's incredibly difficult to understand how it works.
_ Page 46 of the text
If you've ever been a fan of someone, you've probably thought about your feelings.
Some people call it longing, others call it a pseudo-love.
But somehow, these words feel inadequate to define the feelings of fans.
This is because the term ‘fandom’ may include all of the definitions mentioned above, or it may not apply to any of them.
Park Seo-ryeon decides to call all forms of feelings 'love'.
As the author mentioned in his note, love always begins when we are not paying attention, and after that, we cannot control it.
The more you love, the more opportunities you have for happiness, but the greater the risk you take.
So, we can only hope that the love of everyone who reads and sympathizes with “The Expiration Date of Purple Jelly” will be well.
A story for those who don't spare their love
Even sadness has an expiration date.
Dabin, the class president, receives a request from her homeroom teacher.
A request to deliver a performance evaluation to Taehee, who is refusing to go to school.
Taehee was an inconspicuous child, but after she started refusing to go to school, she became the center of attention for her unusual behavior.
Dabin can't understand Taehee's refusal to go to school.
Because I think that refusing to go to school is something that only weak children do.
In short, he is a person from a completely different world from himself, and he feels superior when he compares himself to Tae-hee, who diligently attends school.
However, Dabin, who visited Taehee's house, discovers an unexpected connection.
That's the album of the girl group 'Purple Jelly' that fills one bookshelf.
"Purple Jelly's Expiration Date" takes a look at the various forms of love through Dabin and Taehee, fans of Purple Jelly.
Dabin and Taehee are both fans of Purple Jelly's youngest member, Ellie, but if you look closely, you can see that they have subtly different perspectives.
Through each other, the two learn that there is a multi-faceted spectrum to liking someone.
Moreover, we realize that even if our emotions are different, we can find comfort in the mere fact that we love the same person and mourn the same person.
No matter how painful and sad you are, sadness has an expiration date.
Dabin and Taehee get to know each other and feel that their expiration date has expired.
"The Expiration Date of Purple Jelly" is a novel, but unfortunately, it is also something that is happening in real life right now.
Those who seem to twinkle brightly in the sky, if we were to call them stars, how many stars would we have lost? Thinking about this, the stars we once thought of as shining so loftily in the sky seem precarious, ready to fall at any moment.
But we must remember.
Beneath it all, there are those who love with open arms, ready to receive the stars.
In the end, what remains is love.
