Story Transcript:

Ko: 눈이 하얗게 내린 남이섬.
En: The snow was falling white on Namiseom.

Ko: 길게 늘어선 나무들이 마치 환상의 숲처럼 펼쳐져 있다.
En: The long rows of trees stretched out like a magical forest.

Ko: 설날의 불빛들이 섬을 따뜻하게 밝히고, 작은 조명들이 반짝이고 있었다.
En: The lights for the Seollal celebration warmly illuminated the island, and small lights were twinkling.

Ko: 두 사람이 고요히 눈 덮인 길을 걷고 있었다.
En: Two people were quietly walking along a snow-covered path.

Ko: 지원은 서울에서 대학교에 다니고 있다.
En: Ji-won attends university in Seoul.

Ko: 요즘 그녀는 미래가 불안했다.
En: Lately, she had been anxious about her future.

Ko: 하고 싶은 것도 명확하지 않았고, 자신이 잘할 수 있는 것이 무엇인지도 모호했다.
En: She was unclear about what she wanted to do, and it was vague what she was good at.

Ko: 반면에 민호는 미국에서 성공한 창업가가 되어 오랜만에 가족들과 만날 수 있었다.
En: In contrast, Min-ho had become a successful entrepreneur in the United States and was able to meet his family after a long time.

Ko: 그를 보면 가족들은 자랑스러워했고, 지원은 그를 보며 자신이 왜 이렇게 갈피를 못 잡는지 더 답답했다.
En: His family felt proud when they saw him, and Ji-won felt even more frustrated as to why she couldn't find her direction by watching him.

Ko: 가족 모임도 좋았지만, 지원의 마음은 복잡했다.
En: While the family gathering was nice, Ji-won's mind was complicated.

Ko: "민호 오빠가 너무 멋지다"는 친척들의 말에 지원은 고개를 끄덕였다.
En: When her relatives said, "Min-ho oppa is so impressive," Ji-won nodded her head.

Ko: 하지만 속으론 "나도 그런 칭찬을 받을 날이 올까?"라는 생각으로 가득 차 있었다.
En: But inside she was filled with the thought, "Will a day come when I receive such compliments?"

Ko: 설날 분위기가 무르익으며 하루가 지났다. 지원은 민호와 눈 덮인 남이섬 길을 걸을 기회를 얻었다.
En: As the atmosphere of Seollal reached its peak and the day passed, Ji-won got a chance to walk on the snow-covered path of Namiseom with Min-ho.

Ko: 둘만의 대화 시간이 마련된 것이다.
En: It was an opportunity for a conversation just between the two of them.

Ko: 마침내 그녀는 민호에게 자신의 고민을 털어놓기로 했다.
En: Finally, she decided to confide her worries to Min-ho.

Ko: "오빠, 요즘 고민이 많아." 지원의 목소리는 떨렸다.
En: "oppa, I have a lot on my mind these days," Ji-won's voice trembled.

Ko: 민호는 눈길을 멈추고 그녀를 바라보았다. "말해봐, 지원아."
En: Min-ho stopped in his tracks and looked at her. "Tell me, Ji-won."

Ko: 눈 내린 길, 차가운 공기 속에서 지원은 용기를 냈다.
En: In the snow-laden path and the cold air, Ji-won mustered up the courage.

Ko: 성공한 민호에게 자신의 두려움과 실패에 대한 불안을 토로한 것이다.
En: She opened up about her fears and anxiety about failure to the successful Min-ho.

Ko: 기대에 부응하지 못할까봐 두렵다는 말도 덧붙였다.
En: She added that she was afraid of not living up to expectations.

Ko: 민호는 잠시 생각에 잠기다, 부드러운 미소를 지었다.
En: Min-ho pondered for a moment and then gave a gentle smile.

Ko: "나는 미국에 갔을 때 정말 많은 실패를 했어.
En: "When I went to the United States, I failed many times.

Ko: 매번 성공한 건 아니야.
En: I didn't succeed every time.

Ko: 중요한 건 내가 나아가고 있다는 거, 그리고 그 과정에서 배우고 있다는 거야."
En: What's important is that I'm moving forward, and I'm learning in the process."

Ko: 지원을 바라보는 민호의 눈빛은 따뜻했다.
En: The gaze Min-ho gave Ji-won was warm.

Ko: "지원아, 시간을 갖고 천천히 찾아가도 괜찮아.
En: "Ji-won, it's okay to take your time and find your way slowly.

Ko: 네 인생이잖아."
En: It's your life, after all."

Ko: 지원은 민호의 말에 마음이 가라앉았다.
En: Ji-won felt her mind calm down at Min-ho's words.

Ko: 그녀는 자신에게 주어진 시간 속에서 천천히 자신만의 길을 찾기로 했다.
En: She decided to slowly find her own path within the time given to her.

Ko: 민호와의 대화를 통해 그녀는 자신감을 얻었고, 더 강해진 자신을 느낄 수 있었다.
En: Through the conversation with Min-ho, she gained confidence and felt stronger.

Ko: 남이섬을 나서며 둘은 함께 눈발을 맞으며 걸었다.
En: As they left Namiseom, the two walked together under the falling snowflakes.

Ko: 긴 대화 속에서 둘은 서로에 대한 이해와 신뢰를 쌓았고, 지원은 더 이상 남과 비교하는 것이 아닌 자기만의 길을 걷기로 결심했다.
En: Through their long conversation, they built understanding and trust in each other, and Ji-won resolved to walk her own path rather than comparing herself to others.

Ko: 눈 내린 남이섬을 뒤로하며 지원은 그 어느 때보다도 차분한 마음으로 앞으로의 시간을 맞이했다.
En: Leaving behind the snowy Namiseom, Ji-won faced the future with a calmer heart than ever before.
