Description
Book Introduction
“We all have a reason to fight!”
A new collection of short stories by Park Ha-ryeong, a writer who transcends the times with youth.
A new collection of short stories by Park Ha-ryeong, a writer who makes readers ponder the story with its simple narrative and clear message, has been released.
The author captured the youth's gaze and their hearts by drawing them in four colors.
It linearly unfolds the situations and concerns of different characters who set out to correct a wronged past (“Decision to Fight”), face the cold prejudices of reality (“For Nth”), realize a wrongly connected relationship (“Draw a Gold Line”), and discover the person they want to be (“I Don’t Be a Rabbit”).
In the title piece, "Decision to Fight," the protagonist Yeonhwa, who is caught up in rumors without even knowing it, looks back on the past and struggles to rearrange the truth that was obscured by her hazy memories.
Through this, the author makes readers examine the truth or lies they had forgotten.
It's like drawing a thin line on the present that we thought was solid.
As always in Park Ha-ryeong's works, a young person appears who is determined to solve the problems that lie before him.
As the author values subjectivity, this collection of short stories also contains the author's words, "The motto of a novel is always I will."
"Decision to Fight" is also an 'active growth story' filled with will, fighting spirit, and determination, and stands out for its delicate scenes and contrast with reality.

“What did they say?
What the hell… … What did they say… … .
That's right! Jiyeonhwa."
“The name itself sounds like a monster.”
Then someone hit me on the back.
I turned around in surprise and saw that it was my cousin, Gyeongseo.
“Yeonhwa, what are you doing? I told you to come forward by 45 minutes.”
Without realizing it, I lowered my body in a panic.
‘What?’ The Jiyeonhwa that the kids just mentioned is my name… … .
So I can't help but be surprised.
As I hurriedly packed my bags at Kyungseo's urging, I kept thinking, 'What on earth are they talking about?'
--- p.11 From "Determination to Fight"
Lee Seung-ah transferred to the school in the second semester of her first year.
The appearance of Seung-ah, who was strikingly pretty, sent shockwaves through the entire class.
The boys were making a lot of noise and the girls were also showing their interest.
Honestly, I found Seung-ah a little annoying.
What should I say? I felt like I was getting extra points just for my natural looks, and it felt unfair. But I couldn't express those thoughts, so I remained indifferent.
What was surprising was that it was better.
It seemed like he was more upset than anyone else by the classmates' commotion toward Seung-ah, but he was actually friendly to her.
--- p.33 From "Determination to Fight"
“But you know what?
Jiyeonhwa! Why do you think it's not you?
"what?"
“Why aren’t you a legend in Purification?”
I was truly angry at Song Na-eun for making me so angry until the end.
I didn't realize my words came out harshly.
I decided not to do that and came here.
I tried to restrain myself from using foul language, thinking that I should at least try to differentiate myself from the rotten fruit, but at that moment, my patience ran out.
“You crazy bitch! What the hell are you talking about?”
--- p.58 From "Determination to Fight"
I want to earn money too.
With the will to literally become self-sufficient, I went to a specialized high school instead of the regular high school that all my friends went to.
He talked grandly to the kids about the 'problem with the academic bubble in our society' and bragged about finding the 'shortest path to your dreams.'
Actually, I was proud of making a different choice from others.
No, I thought I would have to have some pride to endure it, so I cast a spell on myself to be confident wherever I go.
--- p.70 From "For Nths"
Drawing a line, it may seem like a small thing, but it is a very clear and big deal.
Even if I draw a thin line of gold with a 0.1mm mechanical pencil, the letters don't fall down, so how could the boundary lines of my heart that I draw not leave behind some kind of aftereffect?
The gold that started from my older sister's words was like a double-edged sword.
I felt a sense of duty to stand up for myself, thinking, "If it's not me, then everyone else," and I became stronger and more confident, but on the other hand, trying to push those outside of me away made me feel isolated and depressed.
--- p.103 From “Drawing a Gold Line”
I quickly picked up a small stone from the ground.
I felt empty-handed, so I wanted something tangible.
“Okay! From now on, this is my choice.”
Then Heesu chuckles and takes the stone away, rubs it diligently on his pants, and hands it back to me.
It has become a brighter, more precious and valuable stone than before.
Because anything that is respected will shine.
'Yes, this is not a stone anymore.' My heart felt happy.
So, without being discouraged, we ignored the idea of 'finding the right answer' and moved forward with the thought that our choice was the only answer.

Publisher's Review
“Anything that is respected will shine.”
Capture the voices of teenagers most clearly
Author Park Ha-ryeong's novel collection has been published.
The author has consistently published works ranging from short stories to novels, winning the Biryongso Blue Fiction Award and the Sallim Youth Literature Award.
This collection of short stories, "Decision to Fight," is the third in a series, and all four stories have a solid structure and fast-paced writing.
It contains a wide range of serious messages that not only teenagers but everyone can relate to, such as everyday worries and momentary choices.
So, I can closely connect the protagonist's voice with me, the reader.
Adults often say, “You’re young, what could you possibly have to worry about?” but even at that age, everyone has their own pain.
Here are some characters who have poured out their hearts.
Yeonhwa ("Decision to Fight") digs into the truth of the rumors, Joohee ("For Nths") embraces her share, Haein tries to break out of the wrongly drawn boundaries ("Draw a Gold Line"), and Dahyun tries to expand her stride ("Rabbit Doesn't").
Your child is still struggling today, stitching up the wounds he has opened.
The novel unfolds to reveal the cracks in everyday life and the discoveries that shine within them.
The moment the characters begin their preparatory movements, the reader stands at the starting line of the story.
When the whistle blows and you start swinging your arms back and forth, taking strides that match your balance, it becomes a well-organized game called a narrative.
Rankings don't matter here.
The question is how many relays I can do.
Following the characters in the novel, Yeonhwa, Juhee, Haein, and Dahyun, the next person is the reader.
You must properly receive the baton that the person hands you.
Then the story will breathe and continue for us, the readers, rather than ending.
“Come to think of it, there was one more person I had to fight.”
The completion of an "active coming-of-age novel" that fights with all its heart.
The author listens to the anxieties and whispers of teenagers at their eye level.
That doesn't mean I'm asking you to accomplish anything or urging you to do anything.
Just watch the situation unfold and wait for the time to come when you can see beyond the fence.
The title piece, "Decision to Fight," is one of the works that perfectly captures this point.
The main character Yeonhwa's family fled in the middle of the night after her father was scammed by a high school classmate.
Yeonhwa suddenly transferred schools, and her environment and lifestyle were turned upside down.
Then, by chance, he hears rumors about himself.
The rumor was spread by word of mouth.
Yeonhwa begins to worry about what people she has never met say.
Then, I thought of Naeun and Seungah, my friends from middle school before I transferred schools.
The three were close friends who did everything together.
But scenes from the past begin to surface one by one.
Yeonhwa's mind becomes more and more complicated, and the rumors spread in a completely different direction.
In the end, Yeonhwa goes to have a showdown with Naeun...
The work gradually expands starting from the main character Yeonhwa.
The characters operate in the present, but the story moves between past and present in an interesting way.
Maybe that's why.
Not only the main readership, young people, but anyone can sense the problems they face in their present and be moved by the novel.
As the author says, "Decision to Fight" is a story about four characters who come together to create "quiet ripples in the heart in a short and lighthearted manner" and "reconstruct an incident that could happen to us into a story."
However, the message and scenes it wants to convey are clearer than anything else.
I hope that readers of this book will also find someone they can truly engage with through this collection of short stories.
