Into the book
No matter how much time passed, Dam, who had not grown or aged, finally turned his head and looked at the forest.
'Okay... let's go to the forest.
To the forest where no one knows me.'
From then on, I lived in the forest.
--- p.15
As memories began to scatter and only fragments of them remained, one day, the feeling of the grass rustling under my bare feet brought a smile to my face.
'This grass really looks like its mother! When it rains, its mother's head gets puffy like this too.
It's been a while since I've felt like this.'
That was the beginning.
From then on, I started to give names to the common grasses I saw every day, to people I knew.
During that time, the person I missed the most was my friend Kona.
'As expected, Kona is a hibiscus.
There are no hollyhocks in the forest.
Still, it's been a while since I've felt like this.
If you really feel sorry, you can sneak into the village and get some.'
--- p.28
'I've already used this unknown ability a lot in the past days.
I knew what would happen to me if I did this, and I did it anyway.'
For Flo, Lena, Yuli, and Mish, the deaths were postponed for hundreds of years.
So, even if I was feeling bad or my chest was heavy, I made a promise to myself not to show it to those who had lived much longer than me, and I laughed out loud.
'Don't regret anymore, don't dwell on the past, just live today.
And tomorrow will be the same as tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be the same as the day after that... Let's not think about the past or the future.
If you do that, if you do that… … .'
As the thoughts continued, Dam's eyes became lonely.
--- p.143
'Just because you have a new family doesn't mean you erase your mom and dad from your heart.
Actually, you don't hate Florian that much anymore, do you? You care for and love everyone around you now.
That's it.'
Only then did Lena realize.
'This is what family is like.
We were family.'
--- p.172
“There was a time when those flowers were more precious to me than anything else.
I was really upset when I saw you and Yuli playing there.
But when I saw you all smiling brightly in the flower garden, and when you said you had dropped your hat and went to pick it up, I saw you standing in the middle of the flower garden and I realized.
Ah, no matter how hard I try to immerse myself in the past, no matter how carefully I tend to the flowers, they are meaningless compared to the living.
Seeing the girl I'd only recently met shine among the flowers made me realize that no matter how hard I tried to live in the past, it was impossible.
When I think about it like that, all those flowers and the forest become meaningless.
And, even if you are stubborn, will your stubbornness be stronger than mine?”
--- p.199
“Do you know the flower that resembles Lena and Flo?”
“I know.”
“What is it?”
“Well, even if I tell you, there isn’t one around here.
Lena is strong, but she doesn't just stand there stiffly. She's like a reed that sways and lets the wind blow.
When I stand in the reeds, the reeds hide me.
It always feels like you're taking care of everyone.
And did you know that Flo is called Sanhayeop? It's a white flower, but when it gets wet with rain, the petals become transparent.
“It’s similar to how White Flow’s heart is sometimes more transparent than usual.”
'Okay... let's go to the forest.
To the forest where no one knows me.'
From then on, I lived in the forest.

This series, which will further expand our world of stories, will continue in the future.
The webtoon "The Wall in the Forest" is the work of author Dahong. It won the Grand Prize in the Comics and Webtoon category at the 2021 SF Awards, the Today's Our Comics Award from the Korea Manhwa Contents Agency in 2022, and the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award in the Comics category at the 2023 Korea Content Awards. Its message of "people who move forward relying on the faint light of hope" has deeply resonated and comforted countless readers.
Now, let's meet "The Wall in the Forest" as a beautiful fairy tale newly written by Kim Young-ri, winner of the Blue Literature Award.
A boy who stopped growing, 'Dam' in the forest
A loving hand reaching out to a broken world
What if you possessed the power to nurture life in a desolate world, yet your growth stalled as you used it, leaving you to witness the aging of your loved ones and their demise alone? What would it be like to shoulder the world to show your beloved friends and newborns the clean air, the clear sunlight, the lush forests, the beautiful rainbows and aurora?
An apocalyptic world where resources are depleted.
Some of the people of the past went into space, and those who remained were left on this barren Earth where it was difficult even to breathe.
In a world that seems to have stopped, like a ruin, the only things that grow are plants and people.
And at the center of it all is Dam, a boy with the ability to make life grow quickly.
The ability to gall is both a blessing and a curse.
He can breathe life into the world, but he is trapped in time, still a fourteen-year-old.
As his family and friends pass away one by one, Dam eventually withdraws from all relationships and goes into the forest.
To be discovered by no one, remembered by no one, and just quietly be alone.
That was the life Dam chose.
Then one day, children appear in the forest where Dam lives.
Misch, Yuli, Lena, Florian.
They are children who have learned to live on their own, relying on each other without proper adults.
Although he appears strong and solid, inside he quietly grows a desire to be protected by someone and loneliness.
At first, Dam pushed those children away, but as he watched them grow and develop, laughing, hurting, and fighting, unlike himself who never ages, he gradually began to open his heart.
The seeds of solidarity that blossomed from despair
A tender survival story woven by a boy who has stopped growing and the children who live with him.
"The Wall in the Forest 1-2" is a wonderful love story about a boy named "Dam," who has the ability to make life grow but has stopped growing, and who extends a kind hand to a world that has collapsed.
The children in this work have no grand purpose or clear heroism.
Just to exist together, we hold each other's hands, care for each other, and embrace each other.
The attitude of children who protect each other and survive in a devastated world shows us what true 'solidarity' is.
But the world is still harsh and time has stopped.
He feels sad watching his children grow up, unlike himself who never grew up when he was fourteen, but he slowly accepts the fact that he cannot stay with them for long.
And finally, with a cool smile, Dam decides to bring green back to the desolate world.
The decision of the dam is a selfless dedication, a tenderness that is not afraid of being forgotten, and a true love for those who are trying to survive somehow.
As we follow the journey of children cherishing each other's time and wounds and allowing new life to blossom, we too will find a firm root of hope and love blossoming in our hearts as we live today.
With Dam's face smiling affectionately.
