Story Transcript:

Ko: 민재는 먹을 것이 이미 앞에 놓여 있는 것에 대해 불안해했다.
En: Minjae was anxious about having food already in front of him.

Ko: 종업원이 젓가락을 건네주자 민재는 처음으로 젓가락을 사용하려 들었다.
En: When the waitress handed over the chopsticks, Minjae tried to use them for the first time.

Ko: 그러나 그녀는 이 작은 물건이 얼마나 방대한 지식과 적극적인 인내력이 필요한지를 깨달았다.
En: But she realized what a vast amount of knowledge and active perseverance this little thing required.

Ko: 한 끗차이기만 한 음식을 집으려 할 때마다, 민재는 테이블 건너편에 앉아 있는 혜원과 지수에게 연신 미안한 눈길을 보냈다.
En: Every time Minjae tried to pick up the food that was only a step away, he sent an apologetic look at Hyewon and Jisoo sitting across the table.

Ko: 대화없이 순수한 표정만으로 재월간을 주고받던 그 순간, 한식당에서 풍겨오는 감미로운 소리가 함께 울려 퍼졌다.
En: At that moment when they were exchanging jaewolgan with pure expressions without conversation, sweet sounds from the Korean restaurant resonated together.

Ko: 민재는 갑자기 우연히 런칭을 발견했다.
En: Minjae suddenly discovered launching by accident.

Ko: 그녀는 눈길을 돌릴 수 없었다.
En: She couldn't look away.

Ko: 런칭은 그녀가 물집과 피로 가득찬 손가락을 무슨 문제 없이 한번에 옮길 수 있는 만큼 충분히 큰, 떡국에 들어갈 만큼 완벽한 크기였다.
En: The launch was the perfect size to fit into a bowl of rice cake soup, big enough for her to move a blistered and bloody finger in one go without any trouble.

Ko: 민재는 그녀의 손가락으로 런칭을 집어내려 했지만 그녀는 더 이상 도전하지 않기로 결심했다.
En: Min-jae tried to pick up the launch with her fingers, but she decided not to try anymore.

Ko: 대신 그녀는 그냥 이들 사이의 침묵을 감싸주었다.
En: Instead, she just covered the silence between them.

Ko: 하지만 그녀가 바로 떠날 때, 지수는 조심스럽게 런칭을 민재의 젓가락에 옮겼다.
En: But as she left right away, Jisoo carefully moved the launching to Minjae's chopsticks.

Ko: 마침내, 민재는 그녀의 물집이 덜컹덜컹할 때, 이들 모두에게 감동을 주었다.
En: Finally, Minjae impressed them all when her blisters rattled.

Ko: 그녀는 처음으로 젓가락을 성공적으로 사용한 것이다!
En: This is her first successful use of chopsticks!
