This is a short story collection by Jeon Yi Hyun, published in 2003. Eight short stories in this collection examine the uncertain future of Korean women in the early 2000s, such as marriage and love, through a cheerful yet not superficial perspective.

2003년에 출간된 정이현의 소설집이다. 2000년대 초, 여성들의 결혼과 사랑 등 불확실한 미래를 둘러싼 여러가지 문제들을 경쾌하지만 가볍지않은 시각으로 다룬 8편의 단편이 수록되어 있다.
