Tomorrow feels sweet
Description
Book Introduction
At the age of twelve, I had my first dream.
Going to Macau just to eat egg tarts!
The Beginning of Kim Hye-jeong's Growth Fairy Tale
The Sweetest Story About Twelve-Year-Old Dreams: "Tomorrow Feels Sweet"
A question posed by Kim Hye-jeong, author of "Fifteen Years in Five Hundred Years" and "The Thirteen-Year-Old's Walking Club."
“What is your dream?”
If elementary school students in the past dreamed of becoming president, scientists, or inventors, these days, elementary school students mainly dream of careers such as creators, athletes, and doctors.
The word 'dream' can mean 'a hope or ideal that one wishes to realize,' but it can also mean 'a vain expectation or idea that has little or no chance of coming true.'
From past to present, children's dreams can be seen as hopes that can be realized, but from another perspective, they can also be seen as vain thoughts with little chance of being realized.
Author Kim Hye-jeong, who is beloved by teenagers for works that cross the line between fantasy and everyday life, such as “Fifteen Years in Five Hundred Years” and “The Thirteen-Year-Old’s Walking Club,” dreamed of becoming a writer when she was in elementary school.
For Kim Hye-jeong, becoming a writer was a dream she desperately wanted to realize, but the adults around her were all against it, believing it to be a vain hope.
The reason was that 'Becoming a writer is not only not easy, but it is also not a stable and high-paying job.'
Fortunately(?), Kim Hye-jeong, a child who did not listen well to adults, did not give up on her dream and pushed forward.
Eventually, he became a writer who was loved by readers for his numerous works.
"Tomorrow is a Sweet Mood" is a work in which author Kim Hye-jeong poses the following questions to young readers through the protagonist Yeseo and her friends, who reflect her own childhood.
“What is your dream?” Let’s meet “Tomorrow is a Sweet Feeling,” a story about four friends who dream a new dream through egg tarts and take a step closer to that dream and hope.

Into the book
Unlike a bakery, there was no bread in sight, and there were many tables like a cafe.
On the shop window was written in cute handwriting, “Egg Tart Specialty Store.”
Egg tarts are sometimes served in school lunches.
But the egg tarts I ate at school didn't smell this delicious.
“Do you want to try that instead of our tteokbokki?”
--- p.9
“It must cost a lot of money to go to Macau, right?”
"of course.
“1 million won? 2 million won?”
If you travel abroad by plane, it will cost a lot of money.
"no.
“You can go and come back for about 700,000 to 800,000 won.”
To Taeri's words, we asked, "Really?"
Taeri said she heard about that much when she went on a trip to Japan.
700,000 won is certainly a lot of money, but it wasn't as expensive as I thought.
I thought it should be double that, but somehow it felt like I got a 50 percent discount.
“Then, shall we go?”
--- p.45
Dasom said she would go to Macau and look at a lot of pretty clothes.
Jiwoo, whose dream is to become a drama writer, wrote mainly about filming locations that appeared in dramas.
Macau is quite famous as a filming location for movies and dramas.
Jiwoo was already brimming with anticipation, saying that he felt like a flood of inspiration would come to him once he returned from Macau.
And Terry, who goes to church, said that the church building in Macau is pretty and that we should definitely go there.
--- pp.109~110
“I really want to go to Macau.
“I’ll be really depressed if I don’t get there.”
After a while, Jiwoo opened his mouth.
I really want to go to Macau too.
There are so many things I want to do in Macau.
But if our parents won't let us go, we have no choice.
I sighed again as I recalled my mother's face telling me absolutely not to do it.
Dasom, Taeri, and Jiwoo also sighed one after another, as if they were infected by my sigh.

Publisher's Review
Are you going to Macau to eat egg tarts?
Egg tarts that made us dream, even without money, permission, or the means.
One day, Yeseo and her friends eat fantastically delicious egg tarts at a new store in front of the school.
The shop owner said that he learned how to make egg tarts in Macau, and that if you go to Macau, you can eat egg tarts that are much more delicious than these.
The kids decided they had to go to Macau to try some truly delicious egg tarts! They started saving up their allowances to cover the cost of their trip, working part-time jobs, and researching things they wanted to do in Macau to make plans.
However, when his parents find out about this, they face strong opposition, and the travel expenses do not come together as planned.
Adults say that it is impossible for elementary school students to travel abroad, and even Yeseo and her friends think so at first.
I need to pay for the trip to Macau, but I don't have any money.
But the protagonists of "Sweet Mood for Tomorrow" don't give up here.
“Where do we have money? Do you have 700,000 won?” “We can just earn it.” (pp. 45-46) Since you can earn money if you don’t have money, your friends save money by doing various part-time jobs during vacation, such as pulling weeds in a ginseng field and making kimchi.
At the same time, make specific plans for what you want to do when you go to Macau.
Yeseo, who dreams of becoming a chef, wants to try all the foods sold only in Macau, and Jiwoo, who dreams of becoming a drama writer, wants to visit filming locations that appeared in dramas and movies and then write about their travels on her blog.
Dasom, who dreams of becoming a fashion designer, plans to buy a pretty dress, and Taeri, who goes to church, wants to see all the church buildings in Macau.
Making money is not as easy as it sounds, and adults keep opposing it, but the reason why the four friends can dream of a trip to Macau without getting tired is because while planning the trip to Macau, each of them developed their own 'dream'.
It started with egg tarts, but now there are countless reasons to visit Macau beyond egg tarts.
As the number of reasons increases, the size of the protagonists' dreams also increases, and they have precious and special experiences of taking steps toward their dreams.
Although they haven't yet set off for Macau, their journey has already begun.
The experience of being hooked on something and having your life change
A sweet story where failure isn't the end, but a new dream.
Although it deals with the subject of a 'Macau trip' that started with an egg tart, 'Tomorrow is a Sweet Feeling' is ultimately a story about 'dreams'.
This is a story about how your life changed without you even realizing it while you were having that dream.
The main characters dream of going to Macau to eat egg tarts, and as they go there and figure out what they want to do, they start to think about what they really like to do.
As you save up for your trip, you will gain new insights into the value and meaning of money, as well as family and friends.
You do things you never thought possible, meet people, and discover a changed version of yourself.
It is experiencing a moment commonly called 'growth'.
Of course, as always, the process of making the protagonists' dreams come true is not easy.
I can't eat what I want, I can't buy what I want, and I'm trying to save up for travel expenses, but I still have a long way to go to save up my goal of 700,000 won, and one of my friends who I thought I'd be with forever is transferring schools.
But the grand plan to go to Macau does not end in failure.
Just as there is no failure in all growth, your friend is moving forward with a new dream, not a failure.
And knowing that we have each other to dream that dream with, we can run towards tomorrow without fear.
So, even if your friends don't eat sweet egg tarts right now, while dreaming of egg tarts, you have a feeling that tomorrow will be sweet.
So the protagonists' tomorrow always feels sweet.
Like Yeseo and her friends, let's think together about what readers of "Tomorrow Feels Sweet" really want.
It doesn't matter if it's something trivial like 'eating an egg tart'.
That small wish will be the beginning of a life that is completely different from before, and you will experience a new moment of growth.
