My Guardian 2: Are We in Love?
 |
Description
Book Introduction
My Guardian, an instant bestseller
Second story, are we in love?!
Author Jae-Moon Lee's "My Guardian 2," which created a buzz immediately after its publication with the bestseller "My Guardian," has been published as the 49th story in the Easybook upper grades series "Shami the Book Reader."
In his previous work, author Jae-moon Lee, a current elementary school teacher, asked, "How can I free myself from the emotional pressure of a friend who manipulates me and treats me like a toy, and find my own balance and stand upright?" and showed how to deal with it wisely.
"My Guardian," which vividly presents the real stories of children experienced and observed in actual educational settings, has established itself as a K-realistic fairy tale.
If the first volume of the K-real fairy tale "My Guardian" was a rather heavy topic dealing with gaslighting in friendships, this "My Guardian 2" is a teen romance with a softer subject matter.
It vividly depicts the love and dating styles of older children.
Whenever I see or think of that child, my heart races with excitement.
One day, he confesses to me first.
“I like you.”
I hesitated and hesitated before I started dating her, but my heart is like a storm that just won't calm down.
Can I control this tender yet unsettling feeling of love and truly stand on my own? The author soothes the concerns of this time—emotions, love, and romance—and paints a sweet and refreshing story of finding my own identity, as precious as, or even more so than, special relationships.

Into the book
‘Shin Tae-ha… … .’
Taeha is over there.
With a bright face and bright eyes.
Even though his t-shirt is soaked with sweat, Taeha only focuses on the ball.
I stared at those shining eyes as if I was possessed.
They were so shiny that they looked like two jewels someone had dropped on the playground.
--- pp.9~10
It was from then on.
I found myself constantly looking at my watch and fiddling with my phone.
What if I get another message? What if they tell me it's nothing serious and I don't have to come to the park? I felt like I'd just sag like a deflated balloon.
The numbers in the workbook changed little by little, indicating the time of my appointment with Taeha.
The letters became blurry and turned into a message sent by Taeha.
Can I come to the park for a bit, can I come to the park for a bit, to the park, to the park, to the park… … .
--- p.37
“So you decided to date?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“Our Barum really has a lot of worries.
But that doesn't have to be the case.
These days, everyone is dating and seeing each other.
“It’s strange that I’m thirteen and I haven’t dated anyone yet.”
Jeong-ah, who was listening from the side, expressed her disapproval by saying, “That’s ridiculous,” but Dami focused only on me.
“You can’t graduate without ever dating, right? Right?
--- p.53
Taeha's reaction was not very good.
For every book recommended, I just flipped through the pages, looked at the pictures, and then put it down.
When I told him to read the first page or so, he seemed to pick it up for a bit, but he would quickly put it down.
The more I tried to choose books for him, the more Taeha's interest in books seemed to fade.
Even “Barum, shall we go eat something delicious? Do you want to go to a cafe and eat cake?”
He said.
“What? Suddenly?”
--- p.84
I carefully opened the packaging and, to my surprise, found a book of poetry inside.
Taeha and Si-jae.
It doesn't seem to fit together, but it strangely fits together.
The book cover is also a pretty watercolor painting.
As I opened the cover with a fluttering heart, a white note fell out.
'what?'
I picked up the note and opened it, and it said, 'I feel like I've become a better person because I like you.' At that moment, I froze as if I was frozen in time.
I think it was like that for about ten seconds.
By then my face would have turned incredibly red.
I quietly put down the book and buried my face in the blanket.
“Whoa!”
--- p.107
When Barum's fingertips lightly brushed against mine, my heart raced.
How can I describe that feeling? Even the fastest, tallest ride in the world couldn't compare to that feeling.
To be honest, I want to hold hands.
vestige.
No, a little more than that.
Yeah, I want to catch a lot.
Because I caught all the other kids too.
But! Barum is different from other kids.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
Even though it was regrettable, Taeha decided to accept it.
That was Taeha's true feelings towards Barum.
--- pp.149~150
“What are you talking about? Taeha and I are serious!” I shouted, furious.
Jeong-ah looked up at me with tear-filled eyes.
And he said something unbelievable.
“Haejin said that.
Taeha confessed to you, it was a bet.
“I made a bet with the kids to see if I could confess to you… … .”
--- p.183
I didn't even know that Taeha had confessed to me.
And even after finding out, I couldn't say anything clearly about breaking up...
My relationship was a total mess.
Swallowing these words, I forced a smile.
--- p.202
I thought it was cool that everyone's love looks different.
It doesn't matter who did what and how.
What matters is 'how will I love?'
How will I meet someone and how will I treat them?
It seemed to include the question of how to break up.
I looked at Taeha absentmindedly.
He looked lost in thought after listening to the teacher's words.
What is Taeha thinking now?
Taeha is over there.
With a bright face and bright eyes.
Even though his t-shirt is soaked with sweat, Taeha only focuses on the ball.
I stared at those shining eyes as if I was possessed.
They were so shiny that they looked like two jewels someone had dropped on the playground.

Publisher's Review
A coming-of-age story that helps me manage my emotions and set myself straight.
Elementary Romance "My Guardian 2: Are We in Love?"
Author Jae-moon Lee, who demonstrated the power of K-realistic fairy tales with "My Guardian," which depicted the terrifying gaslighting of a best friend, returns with a heartwarming and fresh elementary school romance.
More specifically, it is a story about '6th grade love'.
What do sixth graders, in their final years of elementary school, think about dating? What kind of relationships do they have, and what joys and challenges do they experience along the way? "My Guardian 2: Are We in Love" began with these questions.
Why did the author choose love as the second theme of the K-Reality fairy tale? Is love only a noble love that involves self-sacrifice? Isn't a very light feeling of affection love? Is it love when you can laugh and chat comfortably? Isn't love love if it doesn't send a tingling sensation? The author wrote this work with the hope that children will reflect on the feeling of love.
Let's read this work and think carefully about what I think love is and what kind of love I want to have.
I will get hints on how to manage my emotions more flexibly and set myself straight.
A sweet and refreshing first love
Can you be my guardian again?
In the work, Barum keeps looking at Taeha as if possessed.
But one day, she receives a confession from Taeha.
“I like you!”
From then on, Barum wanted to be more like me.
I wish I could get along better with Taeha.
I wish I were as cool as that kid.
I hope Taeha looks good to his friends.
I was happy that Taeha, whom I like, told me that I was a great person.
In this way, loving someone makes me want to take better care of myself.
So Barum thought Taeha was 'my guardian'.
However, as soon as she starts dating Taeha, Barum encounters various problems and falls into confusion.
How can we reconcile our differing likes and desires? How much physical intimacy should we allow? Is it okay to go on couple dates? Is this feeling of anxiety toward Taeha's female friend jealousy? If so, how should we manage it?
My mind was already racing with all sorts of thoughts, and then a secret was revealed.
It turns out that Tae-ha's confession, "I like you," was a lie! Barum feels a deep sense of betrayal.
But still, my eyes are drawn to Taeha.
Even if I cover my ears tightly, I can still hear Taeha's voice.
My heart still races whenever I think of Taeha.
Barum thinks.
With so much lingering regret, can we ever return to our innocent past? Can Tae-ha truly become my guardian again?
My sparkling guardian
It's not you, it's me!
As the subtitle suggests, "My Guardian 2" asks questions to Barum and Taeha.
Are we in love? The sweet, innocent feeling is certainly precious.
However, this book shows how to manage these emotions that I am experiencing for the first time in my life and set myself right by showing me the right way to not be swayed by those emotions.
Barum says to Taeha who is apologizing.
“I can’t do a relationship that’s too easy.”
In this way, this book helps teenage readers imagine the love they desire.
It showed me that if that love isn't the direction I want, then it's not time yet, and I need to know how to reject it.
Barum gives Taeha her final greeting, thanking him for giving her good memories.
Barum is no longer confused because of her first love, Taeha.
Even though my relationship failed, I was gifted with good memories.
I learned a lot.
I also developed a belief that if I work harder at something I like, even if it's not necessarily the opposite sex, I will come to know what love is.
Maybe that's why I feel at ease even when I go to the library to borrow my favorite book and run into Taeha.
I think I know now.
At thirteen, my sparkling guardian is not you, Taeha, but me.
If I work harder at what I love, I'll come to understand love more deeply. For now, just knowing that I'm my guardian is invaluable.
Teenage readers who read "My Guardian 2" by putting themselves in the shoes of Barum or Taeha will come to a realization at the end.
No one can take my place as guardian.
My guardian is me.
In this way, 『My Guardian 2』 is a coming-of-age story with a clear theme.
