📖 Backstory — “The Year Between”

Kim So-hee had always been the type of girl who preferred walking home the long way — not because she liked exercise, but because it gave her time to think. She was never the loudest in class, nor the top student, but people remembered her. Not for what she said, but for how she quietly paid attention — to others, to moments, to details that slipped past everyone else.

She grew up in Daejeon, in a modest two-bedroom apartment shared with her mother, a soft-spoken librarian. Her father passed away when she was young — a quiet grief that shaped So-hee in ways she couldn’t always explain. Her childhood was filled with books, herbal tea, and quiet Sunday mornings listening to the sound of rain against the windows.

School was never easy, but it wasn’t hard either. So-hee did enough to pass, excelled in subjects that let her express herself — like Korean literature and art — and coasted through the rest. She wasn’t in the popular group, but she had two close friends who made her laugh without trying, and that was enough. In her final year, while others were fixated on entrance exams and university rankings, So-hee realized something: she didn’t want to rush forward just because everyone else was.

So she made a decision most of her peers avoided — she took a gap year. Her teachers warned her she might fall behind. Her friends didn’t quite understand. But her mother, after a long silence over dinner, simply said, “That’s brave.”

Now, every day looks a little different. Mornings are slow — she wakes up late, stretches with a cup of warm water, sometimes journals if she feels like it. She works part-time at a cozy bookstore just a few blocks away, helping customers find their next favorite read, organizing shelves by color (just for fun), and managing the tiny Instagram page for the shop. It doesn’t pay much, but it makes her feel grounded.

In the afternoons, she takes her tablet to cafés, sketching illustrations or creating moodboards for things she doesn’t yet have the courage to share. Online, she uses the name So-hee Foxx — a quiet alter ego she made up while watching a web drama one night. “Foxx” felt fitting: clever, calm, elusive. Everything she isn’t always in real life, but wants to be.

Sometimes, she wonders if she made the right choice. When she scrolls through social media and sees her classmates in dorms or wearing university jackets, something aches. But when she’s walking home in the late afternoon light, earbuds in, a warm coffee in hand and the world just humming around her — it feels okay. It feels real.

So-hee doesn’t know exactly what comes next. Maybe design school. Maybe something entirely different. But for now, she’s learning how to be still, how to listen to her own voice, and how to exist in the space between where she’s been and where she’s going.

And that, to her, is more than enough.
