소설을 쓰고 싶지만
“소설은 아무나 쓰나.”
경험도 상상력도 없는 내가 우째 소설을 쓸까나? 올라가지 못할 나무에 오르려다 떨어지지나 말고 주변 정담이나 감칠 나게 써 봐야지. 소설은 무슨….

No way
My friend wrote:
While she was grieving, pacing around in sorrow, I sat crouched on the floor like someone lost, picking up fallen strands of hair. I stared into the corner of the room, blankly repeating, “This can’t be true.” Maybe I was able to stay silent because I knew she was feeling the exact same thing.
It was like walking through darkness, finally spotting a faint light, only for it to suddenly disappear—leaving me to fall again into the endless depths of a dark cave. I never got to fully see the bright flame, and now I’m left sifting through ashes, hoping to find the last glowing ember. I’ve lost my way.
Though she’s gone, I don’t want to lose our book club too. I hope we can welcome another wonderful teacher—not just someone full of knowledge and degrees, but someone with humility and compassion. Someone who treats everyone fairly—whether educated or not, wealthy or poor, high-status or humble. Someone who doesn’t only listen to the loud voices but notices the quiet ones sitting in the corner, offering them kindness and warmth. Ms. Choi Wol-hee, I hope to meet you again in the next life—as your student once more.
