As he spends each day feeling like he's regaining the lost things one by one, the inner feeling of exhaustion and emptiness gradually disappears. Then at some point you realize The fact that she is in pretty good health. From that moment on, the bookstore in Hunam-dong becomes a completely new space. A space where people gather, emotions gather, and each individual story gathers.
