Story Transcript:

Ko: 제주도의 바람은 봄의 싱그러움을 가득 품고 있었다.
En: The wind of Jeju Island was filled with the freshness of spring.

Ko: 수진과 민지는 이곳 성산 일출봉에 서 있었다.
En: Sujin and Minji stood at Seongsan Ilchulbong.

Ko: 바다 위로 서서히 밝아오는 하늘을 보며, 수진은 기대와 불안 사이에서 흔들렸다.
En: As they watched the sky gradually brighten above the sea, Sujin wavered between anticipation and anxiety.

Ko: 그는 분주한 서울 생활로 인해 지쳤고, 이제는 좀 더 의미 있는 삶의 방식을 찾고 싶었다.
En: He was exhausted from his busy life in Seoul and wanted to find a more meaningful way of living.

Ko: "수진아, 바람이 부는 날이라 너울성이 심할 거라고 하던데 괜찮겠어?" 민지가 속삭였다.
En: "Sujin, they said it might be really wavy today because of the wind. Are you okay with that?" Minji whispered.

Ko: 그녀는 그의 오랜 친구로서 항상 그에게 편안함을 주었다.
En: As his long-time friend, she always brought him comfort.

Ko: 수진은 대답했다. "네가 함께라면 괜찮아. 바람이 강해도 나름 매력 있을 거야."
En: Sujin replied, "As long as you're with me, it's okay. Even strong winds have their own charm."

Ko: 성산 일출봉은 웅장했다.
En: Seongsan Ilchulbong was majestic.

Ko: 푸른 초원이 펼쳐져 있었고, 저 멀리 바다가 끝없이 이어졌다.
En: A blue meadow stretched out, and far away, the sea continued endlessly.

Ko: 수진은 저 산으로 떠오르는 태양을 기다리며 가슴이 설렜다.
En: As he eagerly awaited the sun rising from behind the mountains, Sujin felt his heart flutter.

Ko: 하지만 구름이 많아 걱정이었다.
En: However, he was worried because of the many clouds.

Ko: "여기까지 왔는데, 해가 안 보이면 어쩌지?" 그는 불안함을 감추지 못했다.
En: "What if we came all this way and can't see the sun?" he couldn't hide his anxiety.

Ko: 민지는 부드럽게 미소 지으며 말했다. "완벽하지 않아도 돼. 순간을 즐기자. 이 자리가 우리의 기억 속에 남는 게 중요해."
En: Minji softly smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be perfect. Let's enjoy the moment. What's important is that this place remains in our memories."

Ko: 그녀의 말은 수진에게 큰 위로가 되었다.
En: Her words were a great comfort to Sujin.

Ko: 긴 기다림 끝에 하늘이 조금씩 밝아졌다.
En: After a long wait, the sky slowly began to brighten.

Ko: 구름 사이로 황금빛 햇살이 퍼져나갔고, 바다와 절벽을 황홀하게 비추었다.
En: Golden sunlight spread through the clouds, magnificently illuminating the sea and cliffs.

Ko: 수진은 숨을 멈춘 듯 그 장관을 바라보았다. "와, 정말 아름다워."
En: Sujin looked at the spectacle as if he had stopped breathing. "Wow, it's truly beautiful."

Ko: 그 순간, 수진은 깨달았다. 완벽을 추구하는 대신, 있는 그대로의 순간을 받아들이는 것이 진정한 행복이라는 것을.
En: At that moment, Sujin realized that rather than striving for perfection, accepting the moment as it is, is true happiness.

Ko: 그는 조용히 다짐했다. 작은 변화부터 시작해 더 나은 삶을 찾아가리라.
En: He quietly resolved to start with small changes and seek a better life.

Ko: 민지는 환하게 웃으며 말했다. "수진아, 넌 할 수 있어. 네가 어떤 길을 선택하든, 내 옆에 있을게."
En: Minji beamed and said, "Sujin, you can do it. No matter what path you choose, I’ll be by your side."

Ko: 수진은 고개를 끄덕였다.
En: Sujin nodded.

Ko: 이제는 작은 변화가 그에게 더 많은 행복을 줄 것이라는 것을 알았다.
En: He now knew that small changes would bring him more happiness.

Ko: 알맞게 구름이 있는 것처럼, 삶도 완벽할 필요는 없었다.
En: Just as the clouds fit in perfectly, life didn't need to be perfect.

Ko: 그렇게 그는 민지와 함께, 봄날의 성산 일출봉을 내려갔다.
En: With that realization, he and Minji descended the springtime Seongsan Ilchulbong.

Ko: 변화는 이미 그의 마음속에서 시작되고 있었다.
En: The change had already begun in his heart.
