Story Transcript:

Ko: 일년 중 가장 따뜻한 계절, 여름이 돌아왔다.
En: The warmest season of the year, summer, has returned.

Ko: 한국의 아름다운 전통 한옥 마을은 재빠르게 추석을 준비하고 있었다.
En: The beautiful traditional hanok village in Korea was quickly preparing for Chuseok.

Ko: 마을 곳곳에는 형형색색의 등불이 걸리고, 다양한 먹거리와 놀이가 펼쳐진 시장은 사람들로 활기차다.
En: All around the village, colorful lanterns were hung, and the lively market filled with various foods and games was bustling with people.

Ko: 진우는 이 마을에서 태어나고 자랐다.
En: Jinwoo was born and raised in this village.

Ko: 그는 한국의 전통을 보존하는 데 누구보다 열정적이었다.
En: He was more passionate than anyone else about preserving Korean traditions.

Ko: 매년 추석이 다가오면 그는 마을 사람들과 함께 축제를 준비했다.
En: Every year, as Chuseok approached, he prepared for the festival with the villagers.

Ko: 그러나 이번에는 그에게 남들이 알지 못하는 비밀이 있었다.
En: However, this time he had a secret that others didn't know.

Ko: 건강 문제가 그의 발목을 잡고 있었다.
En: Health issues were holding him back.

Ko: 진우는 누구에게도 말하지 않고 이를 숨기고 있었다.
En: Jinwoo was hiding it and had not told anyone.

Ko: 마을의 모든 사람들이 축제를 기다리고 있는 가운데, 진우는 상황을 어떻게든 극복하고 싶었다.
En: While everyone in the village was eagerly awaiting the festival, Jinwoo wanted to overcome the situation somehow.

Ko: 그의 어린 시절 친구이자 간호사로 일하고 있는 민지는 그의 고민을 알고 있었다.
En: His childhood friend Minji, who was working as a nurse, knew about his concern.

Ko: 민지는 진우의 건강이 걱정되었지만, 그의 열정을 잘 이해하고 있었다.
En: Minji was worried about Jinwoo's health but understood his passion well.

Ko: 추석 날, 진우는 한복을 입고 축제 현장으로 갔다.
En: On the day of Chuseok, Jinwoo wore a hanbok and went to the festival site.

Ko: 드디어 행사가 시작됐다.
En: Finally, the event began.

Ko: 진우의 목소리는 마을 곳곳에 울려 퍼졌다.
En: Jinwoo's voice echoed throughout the village.

Ko: 진우는 전통 무용과 각종 놀이를 안내하며 사람들의 웃음을 자아냈다.
En: He guided people through traditional dances and various games, bringing smiles to their faces.

Ko: 하지만 그의 얼굴엔 땀방울이 맺히고 숨은 점점 가빠졌다.
En: However, beads of sweat formed on his face, and his breath gradually became labored.

Ko: 행사가 한창일 무렵, 진우는 무대 중심에서 갑자기 쓰러졌다.
En: In the midst of the event, Jinwoo suddenly collapsed in the center of the stage.

Ko: 사람들은 깜짝 놀라 그의 주변으로 달려갔다.
En: People were shocked and rushed to surround him.

Ko: 민지는 재빨리 그에게 달려가 그의 상태를 살폈다.
En: Minji quickly ran to him to check his condition.

Ko: 상황이 심각하다는 것을 깨닫고, 민지는 주변 사람들에게 진우의 상태를 설명했다.
En: Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Minji explained Jinwoo's condition to the surrounding people.

Ko: "진우를 병원으로 데려가야 해요!
En: "We need to take Jinwoo to the hospital!"

Ko: " 민지가 외쳤다.
En: Minji shouted.

Ko: 진우가 의료진의 도움을 받으며 무대에서 내려온 사이, 민지는 그의 빈자리를 대신했다.
En: As Jinwoo was helped off the stage by medical staff, Minji took his place.

Ko: 그녀는 진우가 준비한 프로그램을 차질 없이 이어갔고, 마을 사람들은 모두 마음을 모아 축제를 이끌어 나갔다.
En: She continued the program Jinwoo had prepared without a hitch, and the villagers came together to lead the festival with united hearts.

Ko: 그날 밤 진우는 병원에서 깨어났다.
En: That night, Jinwoo woke up in the hospital.

Ko: 민지가 그의 곁을 지키고 있었다.
En: Minji was by his side.

Ko: "네 건강이 더 중요해," 민지가 부드럽게 말했다.
En: "Your health is more important," Minji softly said.

Ko: "우리가 함께 하니까 걱정 마.
En: "Don't worry, we're in this together."

Ko: "진우는 미소 지었다.
En: Jinwoo smiled.

Ko: "나는 항상 우리 전통을 사랑하지만, 이제는 내 건강도 소중히 여길게.
En: "I have always loved our traditions, but now I'll also cherish my health."

Ko: "그 이후 마을 사람들은 진우의 건강을 도왔고, 그는 자신의 이야기를 솔직히 나눌 수 있게 되었다.
En: After that, the villagers helped with Jinwoo's health, and he was able to share his story honestly.

Ko: 진우와 마을 공동체는 더욱 단단하게 이어졌다.
En: Jinwoo and the village community grew even stronger together.

Ko: 덕분에 다음 추석은 더욱더 특별하게 다가왔다.
En: Thanks to this, the next Chuseok came around even more special.
