Story Transcript:

Ko: 가을의 서울은 아름다웠다.
En: Fall in Seoul was beautiful.

Ko: 하늘빛은 맑고, 공기는 선선했다.
En: The sky was clear, and the air was cool.

Ko: 서울 아쿠아리움 앞에는 많은 학생들이 모여 있었다.
En: In front of the Seoul Aquarium, many students had gathered.

Ko: 오늘은 학교에서 마련한 특별한 현장 학습 날이었다.
En: Today was a special field trip day arranged by the school.

Ko: 14살 민서는 친구들과 함께 줄을 섰다. 지수와 현우도 있었다.
En: Fourteen-year-old Minseo stood in line with friends Jisoo and Hyunwoo.

Ko: 모두들 흥분한 표정이었다.
En: They all had excited expressions.

Ko: 하지만 민서는 조금 다르게 느꼈다.
En: However, Minseo felt slightly different.

Ko: 늘 주변의 주목을 받지 못하는 것 같았다.
En: It seemed like they were never the center of attention.

Ko: 이번 추석 때 가족들에게 특별한 무엇인가를 보여주고 싶었다.
En: This Chuseok, they wanted to show their family something special.

Ko: 그래서 오늘은 그 특별함을 찾는 날로 결정했다.
En: So today, they decided, would be the day to find that special thing.

Ko: 아쿠아리움 내부는 크고 현대적이었다.
En: The interior of the aquarium was large and modern.

Ko: 물의 푸른빛이 사방에 번졌다.
En: The blue light of the water spread everywhere.

Ko: 다양한 해양 생물들이 놀라운 풍경을 이루고 있었다.
En: Various marine life created an amazing scene.

Ko: 아이들은 여기저기 흩어져 사진을 찍고 웃었다.
En: The children scattered around, taking pictures and laughing.

Ko: 민서는 혼잡한 분위기에서 차분함을 원했다.
En: Minseo longed for calm in the crowded atmosphere.

Ko: “모두 모이세요!” 선생님의 목소리가 들렸다.
En: “Everyone gather around!” the teacher’s voice was heard.

Ko: 하지만 민서는 혼자만의 시간을 더 원했다.
En: But Minseo wanted some alone time.

Ko: 그래서 몰래 대열에서 벗어났다.
En: So, they quietly slipped away from the group.

Ko: 조용한 곳을 찾아서 아쿠아리움을 더 깊이 탐험해보기로 결심했다.
En: They decided to explore the aquarium more deeply by finding a quiet place.

Ko: 구석진 곳에 있던 작은 전시실에 들어갔다.
En: They entered a small exhibition room in a secluded corner.

Ko: 이곳은 사람들이 많지 않았다.
En: There were not many people there.

Ko: 안에는 막 태어난 바다거북이가 있었다.
En: Inside, there was a newly hatched sea turtle.

Ko: 어린 거북이는 조심스럽게 돌봐지고 있었다.
En: The young turtle was being carefully tended to.

Ko: 그 순간은 정말이 특별했다.
En: That moment was truly special.

Ko: 민서는 가슴이 두근거렸다.
En: Minseo's heart raced.

Ko: 너무나도 신기했다.
En: It was so fascinating.

Ko: 민서는 가방에서 스마트폰을 꺼내 사진을 찍었다.
En: Minseo took out their smartphone from their bag and took a picture.

Ko: 마침내 민서는 다시 그룹에 합류했다.
En: Finally, Minseo rejoined the group.

Ko: 모두들 출발 준비를 하고 있었다.
En: Everyone was getting ready to leave.

Ko: 민서는 환하게 미소 지었다.
En: Minseo smiled brightly.

Ko: “그게 뭔데?” 지수가 물었다.
En: “What is that?” Jisoo asked.

Ko: “바다거북 사진이야.” 민서가 답했다.
En: “It's a picture of a sea turtle,” Minseo replied.

Ko: 집에 돌아가서 민서는 찍은 사진을 가족들에게 보여줬다.
En: Returning home, Minseo showed the taken picture to the family.

Ko: 모두가 감탄하며 크게 웃었다.
En: Everyone marveled and laughed heartily.

Ko: 민서는 그제서야 느꼈다. 자신이 발견한 것을 공유하는 것이 진정한 기쁨이었다고.
En: Only then did Minseo realize that sharing what they discovered was true joy.

Ko: 혼자 남다른 길을 선택한 것이 옳았다는 자신감도 얻었다.
En: They also gained confidence that choosing a different path alone was the right decision.

Ko: 그렇게 민서의 하루는 특별한 순간으로 가득 찼다.
En: Thus, Minseo's day was filled with special moments.

Ko: 그리고 민서는 더 이상 그림자가 아니었다.
En: And Minseo was no longer a shadow.

Ko: 이제는 자신만의 밝은 빛을 찾은 듯했다.
En: It seemed they had now found their own bright light.
