Sohee's room

Description
Book Introduction
"You're a Sky Butterfly, Too" After that, Sohee turned fifteen. Face your desires head on! At the request of the true fans of 『You Are Also a Sky Butterfly』 This is the story of the author Lee Geum-i, written like fate. A heart-pounding coming-of-age story for young adults! Ten years after the publication of 『You Are a Sky Butterfly』, which had been a bestseller with explosive sales, the author received a question from a middle school student. “What happened to Sohee after she left Dalbat Village?” It was a question he had often received, but from that day on, the author couldn’t shake off his thoughts about Sohee. Then, Sohee, who vaguely believed that she was living somewhere as tenaciously as a lily in the sky, told the writer her story. Through "Sohee's Room," Sohee, as a teenager going through growing pains, confronts her innermost desires head-on and is sometimes crushed by them, returning to the readers' arms with the most realistic story. The author worked on the revised edition 11 years after the first edition was published, and put a lot of effort into 『Sohee's Room』, one of the three parts of the 'You Are Also a Sky Butterfly' series. "Sohee's Room" is a work that approaches today's young women not by forcing a vague hopeful future on them, but by offering comfort and empathy. |

Author's Note
Into the book
The wet feeling in her earlobe was so vivid that Sohee opened her eyes and looked up at the light pink ceiling, letting out a sigh of relief.
I had another dream about the day I left Dalbat Village.
That day, I held back my tears so much that my heart ached.
Yet, in my dreams, I always cried so much that my pillow got wet.
Sohee hated that dream, which still persisted even after a year and a half had passed.
--- p.11
At that time, Sohee envied Mir and Bau, who had many memories with their parents.
But when I started living with my remarried mother, I started to think that it would be better to have no memories.
Because I can look at the affectionate appearance of my mother and uncle with a peaceful mind.
So I guess that's why my grandmother said that nothing is entirely good or entirely bad.
--- p.15
Sohee lay back down on the bed that had reminded her that it was not a dream.
And I remembered the first day I came to this house.
No, Sohee shakes her head to erase the scene and starts thinking about the day she first met her mother.
I wanted to imprint it firmly into my subconscious that all of this was real.
--- p.17
While living in the small house, Sohee abandoned her diary and her friends from Dalbat Village, which she treasured most.
The first ones to be abandoned were Bau and Mir.
I didn't want to fool them by pretending to be happy or comfortable, and I didn't want to tell them the truth about my situation.
Mir, who had been checking in with Sohee through email, text, and at her hair salon, stopped contacting her because he knew she was avoiding him.
--- p.32-33
Sohee read her grandmother's expression instead of her mother's, who covered her face with sunglasses.
My grandmother, who has been working at a beauty salon for over 20 years since she was 20, used to be confident that she could see through a customer's inner self just by looking at their appearance.
Sohee remembered the story her grandmother had told her uncle.
--- p.
34-35
As I opened the front door and stepped inside, a living room several times larger than the small house appeared before my eyes.
The living room, furnished with luxurious furniture and appliances, even had a fireplace! Woojin placed a pair of slippers at Sohee's feet, who was unconsciously wandering around the house.
“Sister, wear these.
“It’s my sister’s.”
--- p.42
After reading that only a wounded oyster can grow a pearl, I decided to love even my own wounds.
And I believed that if I worked hard, I could achieve my dreams.
Compared to then, the environment has improved unbelievably, but he himself has nowhere to go and is lying in someone else's room.
My heart ached as if something was being ripped from me.
--- p.234-235
After feeling guilty, Sohee suddenly thought, 'Is it because of me?'
Even in the small house, Sohee often became the butt of fights between her uncle and his wife.
It may still be that kind of existence in this house.
A scene of Sohee leaving the house alone with her mother appeared in her mind.
The thought of going to the market, cooking, and going to the bathhouse with my mom, arm in arm, without Woohyuk and Woojin, was as sweet as cotton candy.
But soon, the sight of a shabby, single room or people wandering around hungry, looking for a place to sleep sent a chill down Sohee's heart.
The coolness was much more concrete than a sweet imagination.

Publisher's Review
“There’s no need to mature too early.”
"Sohee's Room" is a work written with the hope of unloading the unreasonable burden placed on the shoulders of the young Sohee.
But after the book came out, I often heard from readers that they were sorry about Sohee's changes.
Ten years have passed since then, but the idea that children do not need to mature early has become more firmly established.
Children have the right to live as their age suggests, and adults and society have a duty to help them grow up that way.
--- From the author's note
Sohee was a child who had no choice but to mature early.
Unlike other children my age, I don't whine to my parents, complain about my situation, or throw tantrums to buy things I want.
Sohee is a child who is not used to doing what she wants without worrying about what others think.
All young people have the right to live their lives as their age, and that is like a 'time commitment' that does not last forever.
Who made Sohee grow up so young? It was the adults.
In reality, many children learn about the world early and hide their true selves due to the circumstances they face or the selfishness of adults.
Couldn't this be considered a form of social violence that deprives an individual of their rights? It's a deeply regrettable reality that so many children still grow up prematurely.
However, the main character of this book, Sohee, gradually changes the life she thought was fate through her own efforts and the help of those around her.
Sohee in “You Are a Sky Butterfly Too” was a mature child, but Sohee in “Sohee’s Room” was different.
It's much more dynamic and hits the waves hitting your mind directly.
Between desire and wandering, fifteen-year-old Sohee realizes.
There is no need to mature so early.
A woman who is true to her own desires and boldly chooses her own life.
Although the world has changed a lot, works that so clearly reveal women's desires feel unfamiliar to some people.
Sohee reunites with her remarried biological mother and begins a prosperous new life as 'Jung Sohee', then 'Yoon Sohee'.
Sohee encounters a new side of herself as her home, family, school, and friends all change.
The anger towards her mother who left her, her friends who are envious of Sohee's wealth and praise her, and the inner thoughts of a boy in her class who becomes more and more curious the more she gets to know him.
These are experiences that could not be had in Dalbat Village.
Through emotions and experiences that Sohee of the Moon Field could not have experienced, Sohee becomes aware of her true inner self and becomes confused.
The girl's confusion as she faces her own desires for the first time is conveyed throughout the story.
But this kind of confusion is a healthy emotion.
Ultimately, when we are faced with our own desires, we have to make a decision.
Whether to accept it or pretend not to know.
When Sohee's room is likened to Sohee's inner self, readers may be able to project their own images around that room.
Teenagers hurt by violent and selfish adults
Sohee accidentally witnesses her new stepfather hitting her mother.
I didn't know until I saw it.
Because my mother has always behaved elegantly.
Sohee is worried about how to deal with it, but her new stepfather's daughter, Lina, confronts her and gets angry, and Sohee's heart breaks when she accidentally witnesses this.
“Yeah, I've laid hands on your mom a few times.
But it was only a few slaps.
“If divorce were to happen like that, there wouldn’t be a single couple in Korea who wouldn’t get divorced.”
The old man's voice was confident.
Sohee clenched her fist without realizing it.
"What? Dad, are you saying a few slaps aren't violence? How could you say something like that in front of your daughter? Aren't you ashamed?" - Page 295
Domestic violence, whether direct or indirect, causes great harm to young people.
Even more shocking is the sight of adults trying to justify the violence they commit with lame excuses.
Sohee and Lina are greatly disappointed by their father's behavior.
And Sohee realizes.
The only reason my mother couldn't stand up to my father's violence was because of herself.
Mom endured and endured only for the sake of the rest of the family, excluding Dad.
The immature violence of adults leaves a deep scar on the hearts of young people.
Introduction to the Lee Geum-i Youth Literature Series
This series, which began with the revised edition of 『Eugene and Eugene』 as its first book, is a series of youth literature by author Lee Geum-i that revises and reorganizes the youth literature works that the author has published so far. It is “a youth literature series by author Lee Geum-i that examines the ‘here and now’ of youth on the brink, resonates with the hearts entangled with dreams and wounds, and cheers for a bright future.”
This revision and serialization is not simply a matter of changing the book's appearance; it is a task of imbuing it with human rights awareness, a sense of the times, and gender awareness, all of which improve and raise standards as times change.
"Sohee's Room" is the second book in the "You Are a Sky Butterfly Too" trilogy.
This work honestly and courageously deals with the delicate feelings and revealed desires of female adolescents, centering on Sohee from the previous work.
