Into the book
Buck buck buck! The warm sensation of a towel brushed past my back.
The black dust that had been pushed out from the back clumped together and grew larger, and in an instant, it became a square doorway.
Creak! The door slowly opened.
I could see my room through the door.
My dad and I were sitting next to each other, staring intently at our laptops.
It was just yesterday, before that video was uploaded.
'Go back and change it.
So you won't regret it again.'-
---p.5

My hands were shaking so much that I couldn't even hold my phone properly.
The wrongdoings that one would want to hide for the rest of their lives were caught on video and made widely known to the world.
Everyone who sees that will point fingers at me.
"You act all nice, but you're sneaking peeks at your friend's phone behind his back? Eunha, you really are a bad kid."
It felt like sharp claws were raking through my chest.
That was really something.
Strange and stupid mistakes that you would never make in normal times… … .
But no one will believe it.
Because people make rough judgments based on what they see on the Internet.
Tears welled up in my eyes without me knowing.
Why didn't I realize then that wrong choices ultimately lead to regret? If only I could turn back time and go back to that time...
Something suddenly flashed into my mind.
baths.
I don't remember exactly, but I'm sure I went back in time through a strange bathhouse.
I wiped my tears with the back of my hand and clenched my fist.
“If I could just find that bathhouse, I could turn everything around.”
---p.20

"are you okay.
There is no perfect person in this world.
You learn by making mistakes, doing wrong things, and regretting them.
People who truly love you won't just abandon you and leave you because you did something wrong.
If you sincerely ask for forgiveness, I will give you a warm hug.
“Sincerity always gets through.” -
---p.37

At that time, the millers clapped their hands like merchants and said:
“Okay, okay, I’ll push you back to that time when you regret it.
“Prices vary from time to time.”
As soon as I heard those words, my heart started pounding.
I finally found a way to go back to that 'regrettable time'.
If I could just go back in time and fix my mistakes, I'd be happy again!
I ran straight to the mill without hesitation.
Milky limped along, shouting something, but I couldn't hear a thing.
--- pp.39~40

Publisher's Review
Then I leave for the bathhouse
A touching and fantastic time travel


"The Bathhouse at That Time" is a fantasy fairy tale set in a bathhouse that expresses regret as "time" and removes that "time."
The story begins with regrets that everyone has experienced at least once, such as, “I shouldn’t have said that back then,” or “If only I could go back to that time.”
At that time, in the bathhouse, people turn into animals and animals turn into people.
A cow and a tiger sometimes become a scapegoat and greet guests stained with regret.
Also, it is full of unique things that you don't find in real bathhouses.
‘Aisitang’ that confronts regrets, ‘Geu-mam-tae-tang’ that soothes the wounds of the heart, ‘Sauna’ that confronts memories of regret, ‘Eat and Go’ that sells strange foods, and ‘Geu-tae-mil-i’ that takes you back to the past.
This unique space, which sparks curiosity in anyone who looks into it, stimulates the imagination of readers.
At that time, a time travel begins in the bathhouse, pushing away the regrets and meeting a new self.

“It’s about going back and changing it.
“So you won’t regret it again.”
A 'back then' full of regrets that can be returned to if you receive a 'back then'


Eunha, who runs the YouTube channel 'Dongsaham TV', suspects that the child who leaves bad comments on her channel is her classmate Kang Hajin.
While trying to find evidence by stealing Hajin's cell phone, he is caught by his friend Go Minji.
However, Kang Ha-jin was an ardent fan who supported Eun-ha by leaving good comments rather than bad ones, and Eun-ha was branded as a 'bad kid' who suspected her friend and even stole her cell phone.
To make matters worse, a video of Eunha suspecting Kang Ha-jin goes viral, and Eunha is criticized not only by her friends but also by countless others.
Eun-ha, who wants to turn back everything, suddenly thinks of 'That Bathhouse'.
Eun-ha, who followed the invitation that rolled in front of her and went to the bathhouse, remembers that she can only go back to the past if she receives the Then-Miryi.
But since I've already been there once, I only have two more chances left.
Will I be able to make things right this time?

"The Bathhouse at That Time" is a story that makes the current generation, who live their lives gathering information and expressing themselves through YouTube and various social media, think about the "responsibility of records" and the "weight of words."
It makes us realize that a single line of comment can ruin someone's day or make it up again, and shows the light and shadow of the digital world we face every day through the story of Eunha and her friends.

"are you okay.
There is no perfect person in this world.
“You learn by making mistakes, making mistakes, and regretting them.”


Everyone makes mistakes and regrets them.
But if you don't admit your mistakes and just try to avoid regret, nothing will change and you will end up repeating the same mistakes.
True growth begins when we acknowledge and face our regrets.
Galaxy also initially tries to erase the past.
But eventually, he realizes that it is important to admit his mistakes and correct his actions.
And through regret, you come face to face with yourself growing.

"The Bathhouse" conveys the meaning of growth through the process of resolving misunderstandings and conflicts between friends, facing their wounds, and recovering.
The author's message, "It's okay to make mistakes, just don't forget those times," teaches us how to grow through regret.
The sight of Eunha sincerely apologizing and forgiving herself provides warm comfort and courage to young readers.

I hope that your regrets become stepping stones to growth.
If that's the case, you shouldn't be stuck in that regretful time.
At that time, I need to reflect on what I did wrong and try not to repeat the same mistakes.
If you have reflected and realized enough, shake off the things that were weighing you down and move forward.
If you keep moving forward like that, step by step, you will soon grow into a wise and wonderful adult.
