Story Transcript:

Ko: 그 날, 서울의 소란스러운 도시 풍경 속에 아지트 같은 한 노래방이 있었다. 민호의 생일을 축하하기 위한 장소였다.
En: On that day, amidst the bustling urban landscape of Seoul, there was a hideaway-like karaoke room for celebrating Minho's birthday.

Ko: 개구장이 같던 어린시절부터 서로에게 필요한 존재였던 민호와 지혜. 둘의 관계는 때때로 친구 같기도, 때때로 가족 같기도 했다. 현실을 망각할 수 있는 이 노래방이 지혜에게는 민호를 생각하며 마음을 열 수 있는 곳이었다.
En: Minho and Ji-hye, who had been like chatterboxes since their childhood, were essential to each other. Their relationship was sometimes like friends and sometimes like family. For Ji-hye, this karaoke room where she could forget reality was a place where she could open her heart while thinking about Minho.

Ko: 노래방 문을 열자, 좋아하는 노래로 기다리는 친구들의 목소리가 들려 왔다. 모두는 명확한 표정으로 민호를 축하했지만, 지혜만은 그의 실망을 발견하였다. 그것은 민호의 눈빛에만 보여진 것이었다.
En: As the karaoke room door opened, the voices of friends waiting with their favorite song could be heard. Everyone expressed their congratulations to Minho with clear expressions, but Ji-hye was the only one who noticed his disappointment. It was something that was only visible in Minho's eyes.

Ko: 밤이 깊어짐에 따라, 큰활동이 줄어들면서, 분위기는 점차 조용해졌다. 이때, 스크린에는 슬픈 발라드 가사가 흐르기 시작했다. 그 노래는 언제나 그들의 감성을 깨워주는 노래였다.
En: As the night grew deeper and the activities subsided, the atmosphere gradually quieted down. At that moment, a sad ballad lyrics began to flow on the screen. That song always stirred their emotions.

Ko: "벌써 낮이네, 너의 사랑을 받지 못한 날에…"
En: "It’s already daytime, on the day I didn’t receive your love…"

Ko: 지혜는 민호의 곁에서 노래를 흥얼거렸다. 조용한 노래방 내에 그녀의 목소리만이 울려 퍼졌다. 그녀의 노래가 끝나자, 창밖에서는 비가 내리기 시작했다.
En: Ji-hye softly hummed the song by Minho's side. Only her voice echoed in the quiet karaoke room. As her song ended, rain began to fall outside the window.

Ko: 지혜는 민호를 바라보며 말했다. "민호야, 넌 항상 웃음만 보여주려 하지만, 아프고 슬픈 순간도 있어. 나는 그걸 알고 있어."
En: Ji-hye looked at Minho and said, "Minho, you always try to show a smile, but there are painful and sad moments too. I know that."

Ko: 민호는 조용히 그녀를 봤다. 그의 눈에는 이제야 무엇이 부족했는지를 깨닫는 슬픔이 이어졌다.
En: Minho quietly looked at her. A sadness dawned in his eyes as he now realized what was lacking.

Ko: "지혜야, 나는…" 민호는 말을 잇지 못했다. 단지 그녀가 자신을 이해해준 것에 대한 감사함만 가슴 깊이 느끼며 눈물을 삼켰다.
En: "Ji-hye, I…" Minho couldn't continue his words. He simply felt deep gratitude for her understanding and swallowed his tears.

Ko: 민호의 슬픔은 많은 이들에게는 무시당했지만, 지혜에게는 그의 눈물을 걷어내 줄 존재였다. 이 이야기는 민호의 생일이 단지 날짜가 바뀌는 날이 아니라, 진짜 친구를 얻는 날임을 깨닫는 이야기이다. 그 사실을 알게 된 그날 이후로, 매년 그날은 더 특별한 날이 되었다.
En: While Minho's sadness was overlooked by many, Ji-hye was the one who wiped away his tears. This story is about realizing that Minho's birthday is not just a change of date but the day he gains a true friend. Since that day of realization, every year that day became more special.
