Throughout my life, I experience major and minor setbacks. Some setbacks threw me to the bottom, but some gave me strength to get back on my feet. Nevertheless, for such setbacks to be a driving force, some tricky conditions need to be satisfied. First, the frustration should not be too big to break my will to get back on the track, there should be at least a little hope to get back up, and above all, there should be a reason to get up.
And in many cases, the reason can be found outside of oneself. The reason may be found not only in family, friends, and loved ones, but also in people whom we cross our lives for a while in the course of our life.
In "Even in Very Faint Light," ‘She� becomes a beacon in Hee-won’s path, and Hee-young in "Share� broke a frame of thought of the main character. Da-hee and ‘Senior� in "One Year" shone lights on each other for a little while Da-hee was an intern, and after many years, that dim light was still inside them.
In addition, in other stories, family members links the character to her life even if that member lost contact with them due to the tragedy of life. The longing for the nephew in "A Reply" and the memory of the uncle in "Sowing" support the lives of the characters faintly but firmly. On the other hand, Hee-jin's heart that love and hates her aunt in "To Aunty" and Ki-nam's heart that cannot reach his daughter in "Disappearing, not Disappearing" made my heart ache.
Sometimes it is harder to express love to the ones too close to you. Therefore, sometimes nephews and aunts or grandmothers and grandchildren show affection for family members who connect them by accepting each other as they are and expressing love without any strings attached.
These seven short stories express love without saying a word of love. I could feel the emotions through their gaze on each other. Few times I felt heartbroken by how vulnerable the characters in the stories are, but I was not sad because having other people in one's heart is such a precious while it might be painful. Thus, I had a faint yet inextinguishable hope that even if they look vulnerable, they will not break down.
