A novel for me who wants to live a different life than now.
Time Tour, the fourth volume of the "Sea of Story" series by Polar Bear Publishing, which has introduced unique and diverse youth novels, has been published. This work is about a 16-year-old girl who meets me at the age of nine with a desperate desire to live a different life than now, against the backdrop of a future where she can travel back in time. If you could time travel back in time, is there an event you would like to take back? The main character of the work, Hae-soo, decides to make a choice that no one else has made, perhaps dangerous, to undo the choices of the past that gave birth to a hellish reality. Because I want to say goodbye to the past, love myself in the future, and live the present with my will. Meet Ji Hae-soo, the main character who boldly pioneers reality in order to truly live the present life with his will.
A 16-year-old girl who realized that I have a "self" that is more precious than anyone else.
Seo-jeong, who has lived in an orphanage since she was around 100 days old. Seo Jeong-hee, who desperately wanted "Mom" and "New Family," is adopted as the daughter of Ji-hee, a mother who raises her disabled daughter alone. Seo Jeong gets a new name, Ji Hae-soo, and starts a new life, but her happiness disappeared in less than a week. Hae-soo realizes the harsh reality that he was not adopted as a daughter, but as a helper who takes care of his disabled brother Hae-ryeong. Hae-soo, who has lived a hellish life for seven years, one day finds out that his aunt has left a huge legacy. In addition, he inherited shares of Tempus, a company that opened the time tour era. Hae-soo is finally going on a time tour to prevent adoption, which was the wrong choice. And I finally meet the young 'Seojung'.
Seawater's Life and Choice, an Attractive Protagonist Who Created a New Reality
The biggest attraction of this work is the female lead, 16-year-old Ji Hae-soo's character. As Hae-soo, who resented himself for making the wrong choice, can go on a time tour, he looks back on his life from his life in an orphanage to the present. Even though Hae-soo is only 16 years old, he has been living a hard life for a long time, including deep resentment and longing for his mother, cynicism and hurt from school teachers and children, and loneliness and difficulty in an adopted family that could only live if he did his job properly.
After leaving the time tour, Hae-soo finally realizes how to live in the future and decides the direction of his life independently. The reconciliation with myself, which I have produced in deep despair, the support and encouragement for myself, dramatically change the life of the sea water. This process is developed with the voice of seawater sometimes quietly and sometimes firmly, and readers will be deeply resonated and moved by the life and choice of seawater that has created a new reality without giving up even in the reality without an exit.
Whenever and wherever, the most important thing is the "present" and the subject of life is the "me."
This work is set in the future of a migrant settlement under construction in Hwaseong and time travel to the past. The stories of others who have been on the time tour and the data that Hae-soo has looked for show that human life living on the Earth in the future is not optimistic. Polarization has intensified and some people are taking time tours to the "brilliant and safest moment of their lives" to enjoy "the Earth before it breaks down" or "a clean Earth without a mask." There are also people who have gone on several time tours to erase the scars of their childhood and become the perfect human being with the perfect past, but every time they come back, they suffer all kinds of misfortunes and insist on not thinking about eventually changing the past. Through these, the reader will look back on our human beings constantly reflecting on 'things or actions of the past' and think again about how to live in the present.
The writer's request to constantly send support and love to myself.
Writer Moon Nine confesses in "The Writer's Word" that she was able to stop time travel only after "deciding to become a real adult who takes responsibility for her life for a long time," saying, "I haven't been able to stay well in the present for a long time." The author, who says it took a long time to reconcile with himself, asks readers to "never stop sending support and love to yourself." Everyone is living in the present, going through hard things big and small. Through this work, readers can gain the strength to live their "own life" step by step like seawater that has gone on a new path, where no one has gone toward a new life.
