Into the book
Rae-eun doesn't have a best friend.
Three months have passed since the new semester started, but unlike the fish on the screen, I haven't joined any schools.
It was fine until I was in the third grade.
I used to think it was pathetic to see girls sticking around like magnets.
But my thoughts started to change after I became a 4th grader.
When I saw children in groups of two or three or four in the classroom, I felt uneasy, like a small fish swimming alone in the Pacific Ocean.
---p.17

“You came to the wrong place.
You've come to the right place.
This is Louver's costume shop and I am Louver.
“You are my precious guest.”
Louver smiled meaningfully.
"What do you think of my pieces? Do you like them all? You seem to like these medley shorts the most, especially.
It's a popular product.
“These days, kids are too obsessed with money.”
The girl said as if she was no longer a child.
Rae-eun made a face as if she had no idea what he was talking about.
---p.28

“Those pants really hate getting wet.
Four hours after sunrise.
If you wear them for just four hours, the pants will happily give you money.
And the wound depends on the guest.
It may heal slowly over time, or it may leave a scar for life.
What wound wouldn't be like that?
But it's a wound too precious to just let heal.
The scars are sooooo pretty.
“It’s like… …a diagonal scratch pattern on a beige knit?”
Louver blinked as if inspired and began to sketch quickly.
---p.34

In fact, Raeun knew it too.
The reason my friends are in front of the convenience store at this hour.
Friends always wanted something from Raeun.
Although he didn't directly ask me to buy it, his eyes and atmosphere said it.
I knew my friends wouldn't like it if I told them I didn't have any money, so I pretended to have more.
Otherwise, if I didn't do that... I felt like I would be kicked out of the group.
---p.89

Raeun quickened her pace again.
The splash, splash sound of footsteps sounded like the splash, splash sound of waves to Rae-eun's ears.
The smell of rain mixed with the smell of dirt and grass soon changed into the smell of the sea mixed with the smell of sand and seaweed.
With each step I took, my body seemed to swell like a large whale.
Not like a whale filled with other fish, but like a wonderful whale filled with itself.
---p.121

Publisher's Review
A child's emotions that straddle good and evil like a tightrope walk
A child who recognizes the true intentions behind the scenes and follows the right path even in the face of temptation.


Rae-eun feels increasingly lonely as she enters the fourth grade.
My other friends all have groups they hang out with, but I, who don't have one, feel like a fish swimming alone in the vast ocean.
One day, when Rae-eun was envious of her friends, her heart swelled greatly when her classmate, Lee-seo, suggested that they play together.
But mom won't give me money to go to the slime cafe.
Late at night, when Rae-eun is worried about needing money, a light and the scent of flowers waft in from a gap in the wardrobe.
As Rae-eun opens the built-in closet as if possessed, the scenery of the Louver costume shop unfolds before her eyes.
The blue denim shorts that Rae-eun made at the Louver Costume Shop are not only pretty, but also have special abilities.
That's right, if you get dressed for just four hours when the sun rises, you'll have ten thousand won in your pocket once a day! Rae-eun, who doesn't have much experience building friendships, suddenly starts using the money as if it were her own, trying to solve her friendships with money.
They believe that they can make friends with money, such as by buying them tteokbokki or matching them with bracelets to win their hearts.
But the more I put on my pants, the more I feel the urge to take money out of my mom's wallet or use a card someone left at the tteokbokki place.
This is because a voice is heard encouraging Rae-eun's impulses, along with the thought that if only she had money, her friends would like her.
However, seeing her partner So-jeong, who was truly worried about her, and Eun-hyeok and Seo-jun, who sincerely apologized for their friend's mistakes as if they were their own, Rae-eun realizes that true friends cannot be bought with money.
This work, which focuses on the inner workings of every child and captures the reader's curiosity with its bold narrative, conveys the true message that material things and friendship are not proportional, and that a person's sincerity and heart are more important than anything else.

Break free from material relationships,
A dazzling story about discovering the value of true relationships.


The long-awaited first volume of the "Night Wardrobe Louver Costume Shop" series, "Devil's Pants," focuses on the desires of Rae-eun, a child who tries to win the hearts of her friends through money.
Modern children live in an environment overflowing with cultural products and diverse entertainment.
The number of children who own cell phones from elementary school and are easily exposed to advertisements encouraging consumption has increased, and they are forming peer relationships based on shared consumption experiences.
This is true not only for children but also for adults.
New writer Kkotmari focuses on this very point, exposing the problems of material relationships from a child's perspective.
Rae-eun buys friendship bracelets for her friends to build relationships with her peers, and buys an album of "New Girl" to join in on the conversations her classmates have about their favorite celebrity.
It is believed that only through material things can one form one's identity and form relationships.
However, no matter how much you try to build a relationship with money, a relationship that lacks sincerity will soon fall apart.
Even though she bought her a friendship bracelet, Lee Seo and Min Joo still think of Rae Eun as a convenient friend who buys them snacks whenever they want, not a real friend.
The one who worries about and comforts Rae-eun is So-jeong, who has never once bought anything for Rae-eun or tried to build a relationship with her through money.
The heartfelt note So-jeong gave Rae-eun made her feel the true friendship she had been longing for.
Through this work, the author emphasizes the importance of building healthy relationships.
A good relationship is not one where one person is anxious and holding on, but one where both parties face each other as equals and share their sincerity.

“There are a lot of fun kids who aren’t sleeping tonight either.”
A work that shows children growing up healthily by facing problems without avoiding them.

Even though Rae-eun is lonely because she has no friends, she doesn't admit her feelings and instead reveals them, thinking that other children are just relying on others.
But when the most popular girl in class, Lee Seo, approaches her, Rae Eun discovers her hidden desire to be her friend and tries to get her attention in the easiest way: with money.
Ruber, who was watching the scene through the mirror, thought that these children's desires were amusing.
Because it expresses and reveals the most fundamental desires.
Rather than being a character who guides children to the right path, Ruber is a problematic character who stimulates and maximizes their desires.
They just watch from a step behind, but don't appear in front of them and get involved.
That is why this story focuses on the vivid images of children and the choices they make as a result of their desires being fueled by the unique character of Ruber.
『Night Wardrobe Louver Costume Room 1.
『Devil's Pants』 focuses on the concerns of children 'now' and contains stories that children can deeply empathize with.
Children's worries are no different from adults' worries.
Rather, it makes me think about more raw and serious things.
In the work, Rae-eun begins to see her own wounds properly only after wearing the clothes made by Ruber.
And by facing his own wounds head-on, he opens up his heart and has a proper conversation with Iseo, and he realizes that Iseo, whom he envied, has been struggling to be loved just like him.
Only then does Rae-eun grow into a child who passes on the comfort she received from So-jeong to Lee-seo.
We realize that being alone is not simply lonely and weak, and that anyone can confidently move forward like a whale, cutting through the vast waves of the ocean.
That is why the figure of Rae-eun acknowledging her loneliness and finding her own center and growing shines even more brilliantly.
To heal a wound, you must first determine how badly it has been damaged.
Revealing a wound that has been hidden away is necessary for healing, and only then can new skin grow without festering.
In this fairy tale, we meet children who, despite their seemingly incomprehensible relationships, find comfort in each other as they confront their true feelings and move forward together, albeit clumsily.
This work gives us the courage to believe in our own potential to create a positive future and to accept our own shortcomings without fear.
