“It was the first time I felt in love without wanting to run away.”

Author Jongsan Lee's 'Blue Marble' has been published as part of Wisdom House's short story series, Wipick.
Lee Jong-san has expanded his narratives based on his imagination about the daily lives and relationships of women and minorities, crossing genres such as science fiction, horror, and fantasy.
This work is a fantasy romance novel about a girl named Purun who has a crush on another girl named Guseul. The story begins when Purun, under a spell, becomes trapped in a game created by the gods.


Blue and Guseul, who work at the magazine 『Catch』, plan a board game as a souvenir for the magazine's 10th anniversary.
Blue, who had a crush on Gusul, is secretly happy about her collaboration with Gusul, but soon suppresses her feelings.
Because Blue was truly an expert in unrequited love.
One day, something strange happens to Purun, who finds it easier to turn away from her own love than to show her feelings to the person she likes.


12 o'clock at night.
A cuckoo clock hangs in Purun's room, and a cuckoo comes out to announce midnight. The cuckoo, which was just a model, spreads its wings and turns into a real bird, appearing in front of Purun.
Blue is startled by the dreamlike appearance of the cuckoo, but soon the so-called 'love game of love' begins under the cuckoo's leadership.
The target of this game, which resembles Blue Marble, is the 'marble' that Blue likes.
The only way to finish the game is to follow the instructions and approach the marble.
The outcome of the game depended on Purun, who was infinitely small in front of love.
In front of Lee Jong-san's love story for those who dreamed of a love that seemed impossible, readers will find themselves rooting for Purun's love.

50 stories in 50 books in one year
A special experience that allows you to breathe deeply into 'a single story'

Beginning in November 2022, Wisdom House will be introducing the most diverse and newest stories of Korean literature, one per week, through its short story serial project, "Weekly Fiction."
The series is released every Wednesday through the Wisdom House website and newsletter 'We Pick'.
Starting with author Koo Byeong-mo's "Shred," 50 stories are scheduled to meet readers over the course of a year.
The Wepick series publishes novels that have finished serialization in this way sequentially.
Starting with the first five stories on March 8th, four stories will be published every second Wednesday of the month, for a total of 50 story festivals throughout the year.
This time, rather than the conventional method of binding together several short stories, the book is composed of only one short story, an unusual attempt that provides readers with a special experience of breathing deeply into each story.
Wepick is not bound by any criteria or distinctions such as material or format, and focuses solely on the completeness of a single story.
Through novels by a variety of authors, including novelists, non-fiction writers, poets, and youth literature writers, we break down genres and boundaries, expanding the possibilities and enjoyment of stories.

There is also a special gift inside the book.
This is a supplementary poster titled 'One Novel', which contains an entire novel on one poster.
A single novel offers readers the special experience of encountering a story in a new way.

Introducing the Wepick Series

WEFIC is a short story series from Wisdom House.
It offers a special experience of breathing deeply into ‘one story’.
I dream that this small piece will become a new piece that expands your world, that each small piece will come together to become your story, and that it will become a piece of literature that will be deeply engraved in your heart.
