Into the book
… …
One day, after lunch, I went out to my room and saw that the old man was finally able to eat lunch.
Yeah, I was just sitting there watching him eat lunch, and he said,
“What side dish does Ok-hee like the most?”
And you will ask.
So I said I liked boiled eggs, and he picked up a boiled egg that was on the table and gave it to me and told me to eat it.
I peeled and ate that egg
“Sir, what side dish do you like the best?”
When I asked him, he smiled brightly for a long time.
“I want a boiled egg too.”
I will do it.
I like it so I clap my hands
“Oh, so it’s the same as me.
“I have to go and tell my mother.”
As I stood up, the old man held me tightly.
“Don’t do that.”
Yes, that's right.
… …
--- From the text "Love Guest and Mother, Joo Yoo-seop"
… …
“No one in this neighborhood will criticize what I do.
“Why are you being so arrogant?”
In those words, there is clearly a grumbling that he is the only son of a wealthy family and has a high status, and that he is not in a position to be criticized by a rascal like you.
Bow is very upset
"joy!"
And he laughs and then, to try to score a little more, he folds the wings of a butterfly between his two fingers and, as if to say, “Should I give this to you?”, he aims it at Kyung-hwan’s back a couple of times before sending it flying into the air.
The butterfly circles around in a dizzying circle without any direction, then flies up and down the hill.
Kyunghwan suddenly flies and chases the butterfly.

Publisher's Review
This book contains carefully selected must-read literary works from middle school Korean language textbooks.
Discover works with diverse perspectives and historical backgrounds in “Must-Read Middle School Literature: First Steps - Novels 3.”
By examining whose perspective the story is being viewed through and how the historical setting influences the characters' lives and actions, you will be able to experience a deeper literary world beyond understanding and empathy for the work.
Includes 7 short stories on the themes of 'point of view' and 'era', including Joo Yo-seop's 'Love Guest and Mother'!
Let's imagine a scene where a person is walking down the street.
We can look at this in several ways.
It could be the gaze of the person walking along the street, or the gaze of someone watching from afar.
Even the same incident can have completely different feelings and meanings depending on who looks at it and from what perspective.
The same is true in literature.
The mood of the work and the emotions felt by the reader greatly depend on the point of view, that is, 'through whose eyes the story is told.'
In some cases, the point of view changes within a single work, allowing the story to unfold in a more three-dimensional way.
Through these points of view, the author effectively reveals the theme or encourages the reader to interpret the work in a new way.
So, what about the historical setting in which the story unfolds? Literary works naturally reflect the atmosphere and atmosphere of that era.
The historical setting is not simply a background setting; it is an important factor that determines the lives and actions of characters, and even the reasons for conflict.
Even the same event can have completely different meanings depending on the historical background of the work.
This book contains works from various perspectives and historical periods.
When reading a work, ask yourself questions like, "Through whose eyes is the story being told?" and "How does the historical setting relate to the story?"
Then, you will be able to understand the work more deeply and see its meaning more broadly.
