Into the book
When I saw her, Hye-ri asked me what I wished for.
I was too embarrassed to speak, but I mustered up my courage and told him my three empty wishes.
Hye-ri said with a cheerful expression that she would personally grant the third wish.
When I heard that, I felt a little embarrassed and flustered, but Hye-ri smiled and said that she thought it was cute.
“I really wanted to become close with you too.”
My heart started pounding and I started to feel excited.
--- p.64~65
“Are you hurt a lot because of the kids?”
“I’m used to it.”
“The ship is amazing.”
I asked him what was so special about it, and Jaeha answered with a proud expression.
“It’s much brighter now, so it’s nice to look at.”
“Don’t talk like my dad.”
“I also study hard.
“I feel a sense of crisis these days.”
--- p.88
“But I don’t like myself that much either.”
“Well… Jaeha, you’ll eventually come to like yourself.”
I mustered up the courage to speak to Jaeha, who was looking at me with a puzzled look on his face.
“A lovable person is destined to be loved by everyone.
Why do you think you are an exception to everyone who loves you?
“Seo In-ah.”
Jaeha stopped walking, and I, who had stopped a little ahead of him, looked back at him.
--- p.109
Hye-ri's story was gradually forgotten among the children, but I remained in that place.
I told myself that I was nothing, hiding like a shadow at that time.
I thought that if people didn't take my existence seriously, I might become transparent like a ghost and gradually disappear.
I wanted to disappear from the world like that.
--- p.163
"Isn't being an adult about drinking and smoking and not having anyone say anything?" I was lost in thought when Jae-ha spoke up.
“Meeting many good people and continuously creating wonderful moments.
That's what it means to be mature and become an adult.
“It was trial and error earlier.”
“If that’s what it means to be an adult, then I’m already an adult.”
“Who is a good person and when is a great moment?”
I was too embarrassed to speak, but I mustered up my courage and told him my three empty wishes.
Hye-ri said with a cheerful expression that she would personally grant the third wish.

Publisher's Review

Bold characters and captivating stories
A rising star in the youth literature world
Friendship and love in the most splendid season
"Half Teen Romance" is a half-teen romance, and contains the story of the main character, Seo-in, meeting the mysterious class president, Jae-ha, and moving towards a brighter future together.
After Hye-ri, who taught him the meaning of the word 'friend', passes away, Seo-in closes his heart tightly and withdraws into himself.
Seoin's world has already been reorganized around Hye-ri.
The person who first gave her a dream, the person who wanted to make that dream come true with her, and the person who cheered her on more than anyone else were all Hye-ri, so Seo-in's life and dreams crumble together with the loss of Hye-ri.
Everyone has felt at least once that someone is so precious that they want to have that person all to themselves.
The target could be a guardian, a teacher, a friend, or a lover.
And we all realize at some point that there is no such thing as a permanent, healthy relationship that exists between just two people.
Seoin was in a very bad situation.
What if, one day, a person who has been half-attached to reality due to the pain of loss suddenly encounters the perfect lover of the opposite sex? At first, it's puzzling, then it's concerning, but ultimately, wouldn't their hearts flutter? Jae-ha's face, rising from the depths of Seo-in's sinking, gradually draws closer, and the two children, facing each other, examine each other's feelings.
Some friendships make people live, look into each other's hearts, and ultimately dream.
It's not a choice between love and friendship, it's just friendship and love.
The desire to give the prettiest and best things, the wish to move forward together towards a brighter future, the desire to be the best cheerleader.
Through this story, readers will be reminded that it is all about love and friendship, and that things like these make us better people.
“That’s great, Bae Seo-in.”
Where will the refreshing and bitter summer love go?
A story of challenge and growth for everyone who needs support.
This book is a message of encouragement to all who have failed, hesitated, and been hurt.
The good news is that a bright heart that cheers someone on saves not one but two lives.
So, it is a sweet and cute cry that we need encouragement.
There are many different forms of cheering.
In this story, it is easy to think that Seo-in is the one receiving support, but in reality, Seo-in also supports Jae-ha.
He works very hard at that too.
If Jae-ha pulls Seo-in towards the bright side, Seo-in chooses the prettiest words to say to Jae-ha.
He holds his shining heart in his hand like a pebble, and when it has warmed up enough to not be a burden, he gently hands it over.
You can always make your mood better by using the weather, the season, support, or gratitude as an excuse.
Just like your mood, your heart can also improve at any time.
So I can smile with a better heart.
If your laughter is an excuse for my cheering, I can cheer you on as much as I want.
After closing the book, I feel a completely purified heart and want to support someone's challenge from the bottom of my heart.
“A lovable person is destined to be loved by everyone.”
