Book Introduction
If you think about it, it's a foolishly deep and sadly beautiful saying.

That phrase, "I thought of it."
152 'real' truths and lies that shaped author Hwang Gyeong-sin.


This is an essay collection by Hwang Gyeong-sin, who has been presenting emotional writings with a warm perspective on the world and people as the editor-in-chief of the monthly PAPER, and has collected fragments of memories and daily life that were kept hidden away in a drawer along with photos taken by herself.
In the 152 stories and photographs taken by the author himself, you can find him clinging to the past, being entangled in the present, and longing for the future.

This book contains 152 truths and lies that remain as small but unforgettable memories from her daily life, from childhood to the present.
Talk about whether you liked someone, why you liked them, what you are waiting for, what you are thinking about, why you are thinking about them, what you did with them, and how it was, as if you were having a casual conversation with someone.
Through his unfriendly, one-inch notebook, you can experience his charming language, which is like a chameleon in writing and emotion.

Into the book
He said that in any neighborhood, there are an unusually large number of places selling lottery tickets.
But it is said that in each of those stores, there is the same hand-written sentence posted.
The text written there is as follows:
'There is no other way than the lottery!' That sentence gave him a huge shock.
“It was shocking because it was true.” I cried while watching the musical a few days ago.
It was a work with a story I really liked, music I liked, and actors I liked. I didn't cry when I first saw it last year, but I did this time.
It was the story of an old man who sets out in search of his dream, only to realize that it was all a dream.
In the final scene, the old man is groping for a dream he cannot remember, and when someone asks him to please remember, he asks:
“Is that so important?” The dream is shattered, causing pain and harm to those around him, and he himself faces death.
The story is that dreams are useless, so to speak.
What made me cry was because it was true.
And perhaps because I feel it more keenly now than I did a year ago.
Dreams are scary, and the truth is scary.
A flower that has bloomed is scarier than a flower that has withered.
That's why we so easily lose our bearings in life.
--- From "Because That's the Truth"


When someone tells a story, even if the story is true, it does not necessarily mean that it is true.
It's similar to testimony in a court of law.
With the same facts, both lawyers and prosecutors steer the case in their own favor.
It's like an old black and white movie playing on one side of a cafe.
Sometimes I read the subtitles, but if I don't know the whole story, it's just a series of meaningless syllables.
Someone could use what I said to make me look like a bad person.
Something someone said could be passed on to me in a negative way.
That may be true, but to properly grasp the facts, you need to know the truth.
No one's truth can be known overnight, and truth is constantly changing, but at least we must not be swayed by facts.
Am I seeing the truth?
Can you see it?
Do you want to see it?
Do you miss me?
--- From 〈Facts〉

What a wonderful advantage timeliness has!
If someone asks me what is the most important thing in love
I would say it is the ability to manage time most appropriately.
The second and third most important things are the same.
Because this moment is when everything can be achieved.

--- Michel de Montaigne, from “Psalms on Virgil”

…but what is ‘this moment’ for?
How can you know?
When is it time to reach out?
Is it time to convey my feelings?
Is it time to wait?
Is it time to step back?
When do you hate me?
Is it time to be thankful?
Is it time to leave?
Is it time to start anew?
Or maybe it’s time to give up…
Time slips through your fingers
I can't do anything
I can't accomplish anything
--- From "The Most Important Thing in Love"

He said that wasn't important.
I said I knew without knowing
He said he forgot
I said I would forget it
He said he wasn't sick
He said he was sick
They said there was hope
He said there was no hope
I said it was over
He said it might be the beginning
He said it was okay
He said what if it wasn't okay?
I lied
to me
--- From "I Lied"

When you try hard not to think of someone
You realize how much you think about someone.
There is a symbiosis between existence and non-existence.
Absence proves presence.
Is this a place where someone stayed and left?
Or is it a place to wait for someone?
The empty space in your heart
--- From "Absence Proves Presence"

Publisher's Review
PAPER, chocolate, SEVENTEEN! Three syllable words that evoke pure and sweetness.
And one person that comes to mind is Hwang Gyeong-sin.
She is the editor-in-chief of the monthly PAPER.
We are still making PAPER to this day.
She, who spoke of the deep and profound inner thoughts of girls, women, and adults with a warm gaze toward the world and people, and a delicate and captivating writing style that shows affection for even the smallest things, is reawakening our emotions this fall with "Thinking of You."
If you think about it, it's a foolishly deep and sadly beautiful saying.
That phrase, "I thought of it."
Sometimes with jealousy, longing, and hope, and sometimes with resignation, frustration, and emptiness, the author adds her own colors and emotions to the trivial things in her daily life that have made her who she is today.
『When I Think of You』 is a rough, one-inch notebook by Hwang Gyeong-sin, who is a chameleon when it comes to writing and emotions.


Opening Hwang Gyeong-sin's secret drawer that he kept hidden away
Author Hwang Gyeong-sin, who has long been loved by readers for her emotional writings such as “I Started from a Lemon,” “Paper Doll,” and “Ghost’s Diary,” has published a collection of essays, collecting fragments of memories and daily life stories that she had kept hidden away in a drawer, along with photos she took herself.
As the title suggests, 'I thought of something', I looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered a question I had asked someone, so I lost myself in that moment and then started walking again. The space between the lines of that time and space was depicted in Hwang Gyeong-sin's magical language.

In the 152 stories and photographs taken by the author himself, we can see the author's appearance, which is sometimes stuck in the past, sometimes entangled in the present, and sometimes longing for the future.

“So, generally speaking, time is what solves problems.
In other words, time generally solves many problems.
As time goes by, the moment you've been waiting for usually comes, the person you've been waiting for comes, and the thing you've been waiting for comes.
As time passes, wounds generally fade, hearts heal, and painful memories fade.
As time goes by, you will often come to forgive things that were previously unforgivable… … (omitted) … … Even now, somewhere, a good thing for me may be waiting for its delivery date, packed in a pretty box… … ”
Let us not try to understand her unkind tone and language, her thoughts.
Let us accept her silent cry as it is.
Then, we find comfort in her writing, empathize with her, nod our heads in agreement, and before we know it, we become one with her and want to comfort her.
This is a generous book for souls who want to be alone this fall.


It's the little things that hurt, and the little things that are small but remain in the memory for a long time.
So, I created Hwang Gyeong-sin, and included her 152 truths and lies as material.

Dissonance, turn, line, double flat, song, sad story, orchestra, 30 minutes after dinner, how much, I don't know, ring, 99 percent of women, the most important thing in love, I lied, Beethoven's 10th symphony, Cervantes, countless repetitions, that means, looking is possessing, practice will do, side, if only it could be, are you still like this, lonely, I wish we could meet like a miracle...
These are things that have been deeply embedded in the writer's mind for a long time.
Maybe these are words that everyone uses commonly.
These are common, but not insufficient for writers to take.
Good memories or bad memories.
"Thinking of You" is a collection of 152 truths and lies that remain as memories from her daily life, from childhood to the present, and are small but unforgettable.
Talk about whether you liked someone, why you liked them, what you are waiting for, what you are thinking about, why you are thinking about them, what you did with them, and how it was, as if you were having a casual conversation with someone.
You can meet another Hwang Gyeong-sin who is just like her, with her quirky, girlish side and her indifferent, mature side, and her heartbreaking story.
Although the story is short, her feelings contained between the lines leave a deep impression.
Readers who love the author and her work will find themselves curious as they turn the pages, and will be able to glimpse into the daily life and inner life of this charming, emotional writer and ordinary woman.

I try not to let things that change and disappear weigh too heavily on my mind.
I decide not to convey my love so desperately that it might change tomorrow.
I've been thinking about it for a very long time and will continue to do so, so I'll just fold it up and put it away in a drawer that won't open.
Then one day, I suddenly stopped walking and decided to just say a quick hello in a slightly dry, low voice.
That alone would make me feel embarrassed and sorry for revealing too much.
If you think about it, it's a foolishly deep and sadly beautiful saying.

Because I thought of it.
That's what I mean.
