Into the book
I will be different from who I am now in ten years.
Everyone has to show some change to others and to themselves throughout their lives.
I wish you all the best in your colorful lives and full of happiness.
--- From the author's note
I think that holding someone in your heart is a time to meet yourself, a stranger, rather than someone else.
I learned that fact through you.
--- p.121
“If there’s a reason to wait for something, whatever it is, it’s good and happy.”
--- p.124
I met a real person who still lives and breathes in my brother's secret diary.
--- p.147
We all only know the person we remember.
--- p.148
“Isn’t a secret like a shadow? There’s no one in the world without a shadow.
Rather, the brighter the light, the clearer the shadow, and it gets longer or shorter depending on where the sun is.
“Secrets also increase and decrease, become more serious and lighter depending on the time.”
(…) “Just because it’s a shadow doesn’t mean it’s all bad.
Think back to the shadow puppets you played as a child.
“Are all secrets in the world bad?”
--- p.166
'Don't try too hard.
I like you better like this.'
--- p.186
At first it was just simple curiosity.
That's how I got a glimpse into my brother's world and eventually came to know him.
The fact that there is a world out there that has not yet ended, where time still flows… … .
--- p.188
His closest friend recalled that his brother had a very calm personality.
A long time ago, my homeroom teacher said that I was a quiet and responsible student.
And my mother said that my brother was a chatty and affectionate son.
People only know what they have experienced.
So then, what is the remaining piece of brother that Gomsol has?
--- p.203~204
Even though you were gone, your garden still remained here.
--- p.209
Perhaps knowing someone is a terrible illusion.
--- p.244
“But at some point, I started to hate tangerines.
Strangely, the sour taste seems to spread in my chest rather than my mouth.
Now I'm going to try eating it little by little.
(…) Who said that?
“If you like tangerines, winter is fun.”

Publisher's Review
The secret that sleeps beyond the door where time stops
I discovered my late brother's 'real' world.
“What kind of person was my brother?”
For some, the high school entrance ceremony is filled with excitement and nervousness, but for Seonwoohyuk, he feels sorry towards his parents.
Because he looked exactly like his older brother who passed away twelve years ago, he ended up wearing the same school uniform as him.
As Seonwoo Hyuk has few memories of his older brother from his childhood, his curiosity grows more than his sadness or longing. He naturally thinks about his older brother, who must have walked the same path as him in the school hallways and classrooms.
“What kind of student was my brother?” (Page 61) Then, Seonwoohyuk accidentally finds out about the metaverse game ‘Gaudi’ that was popular in the past, and discovers that his brother’s account remains, so he enters Gaudi as his brother’s avatar JIN.
Just as he was surprised to find that the virtual reality in the game and the garden his brother had created were still intact, he encountered 'Bear Pine', who was guarding the garden without an owner.
“Long time no see?” (Page 66) Seonwoohyuk is startled by Gomsol talking to him as if she is greeting a friend she hasn’t seen in months, so he quickly ends the connection and leaves… … .
While feeling guilty for impersonating his brother, his curiosity about his brother's garden and the pine trees grows.
Who is Gomsol, the one guarding my brother's virtual world where no one is? What kind of relationship does he have with my brother?
A letter to someone who cannot be reached
Meet in a garden just for one person
The story unfolds around Seonwoohyuk's perspective as he searches for traces of his brother at school and home, and the novel becomes even richer as a letter addressed to 'you' from an anonymous person intersects with him.
From the day I first heard your voice at school, to the group activities we did together, to the strange rumors that spread, we became closer and even created our own space in Gaudi.
Letters passed down through time are filled with the excitement and longing of first love.
It can be inferred from the letter that the true feelings that were not easily revealed to others and were hidden by rumors were able to be revealed honestly only in a secret space.
The process of getting to know each other is also “a time to meet one’s own unfamiliar self, not others” (p. 121).
These letters, which allow us to glimpse the time spent by these people who developed such infinitely transparent hearts, add a special beauty to the work, and overlap with the secrets of his brother that Seonwoo Hyuk is digging into, allowing us to see the secrets surrounding his brother's garden in a more three-dimensional way.
“You know what? Summer tangerines are actually really tasty, too.”
A word of comfort to all those who grow up with secrets.
Seonwoohyuk, who was chasing the secret of the garden left behind by his brother, eventually finds out that neither his parents nor his brother's old friends and teachers knew about the existence of Gaudi and Gomsol.
In a frustrating situation where he feels like he has hit a wall, Seonwoo Hyuk returns to the original question.
“What kind of person was your brother?” (page 153) And the answers that come back are all different.
My brother was a friend with a “nonchalant personality,” a “quiet and responsible student,” and a “loving, talkative son” (p. 203).
Through this, Seonwoohyuk realizes.
As if it were a relief sculpture, “people only know those they have experienced” (p. 204).
In that respect, the words of my friend Do-woon allow me to look at my brother's secret from a broader perspective.
“Isn’t a secret like a shadow? There’s no one in the world without a shadow.
(…) Not all shadows are bad.
Think back to the shadow puppets you played when you were young.
“Are all secrets in the world bad?” - Page 166
During adolescence, when understanding of oneself and others is expanding, the way one acts in front of friends, family, and people one likes is bound to be different.
It can be confusing because each face is different, but this is a very natural phenomenon.
"Do You Like Summer Tangerines" respects and accepts the various aspects of a person through detailed descriptions.
This is a valuable novel that beautifully illuminates the heart of a person growing up with the colorful colors of love, including excitement and pain, longing and mourning, like a fantastic hologram.
plot
Seonwoohyuk had a thirteen-year-old older brother who has now passed away.
Seonwoo Hyuk, who entered the school of his older brother who passed away when he was in high school, looking exactly like his older brother, is constantly curious about his older brother who must have walked the same path as him.
One day, while his parents are away, he enters his brother's room and logs into his brother's account in the metaverse. There, he encounters his only shared friend, 'Gomsol', who has been managing his brother's space for over ten years.
However, he cannot bring himself to tell Gomsol, who acts as if she does not know that her brother is dead, that he is her brother's younger brother.
Seonwoohyuk feels guilty for secretly impersonating his brother, but his curiosity grows as to who Gomsol is and what kind of relationship she had with his brother.
He secretly looks through his brother's things and asks his friend Sumin, his vice principal who was his homeroom teacher, and his parents about his brother, but each person remembers his brother differently.
What kind of person was my brother? Who was Gomsol, and what was their relationship?
