Story Transcript:

Ko: 불금의 서울, 길거리엔 춤추는 불빛이 저물도록 술잔을 기울이는 청춘들이 가득했다. 그 중 한모퉁이에 위치한 '천년의 맛', 한옥을 개조한 전통 한식당에서 세 친구가 테이블을 둘러앉았다.
En: On Friday night in Seoul, the streets were filled with young people tilting their glasses as the dancing lights faded away. Among them, three friends gathered around a table in a traditional Korean restaurant called 'Taste of a Thousand Years,' located in a corner of the city.

Ko: 민지는 고개를 숙인 채 재현의 침묵한 표정을 살피며 김치찌개의 야단법석 소리가 더욱 커져가는 것만 느꼈다. 주변 테이블의 웃음소리들이 귓가를 스치는 듯했다. 그녀는 실수로 넘어져 김치찌개를 재현의 새 옷에 쏟아버렸던 것이다.
En: As Minji lowered her head, she noticed that Jaehyun's silent expression made the loud sound of the kimchi stew even louder. Laughter from nearby tables seemed to brush against her ears. It was because she accidentally tripped and spilled the kimchi stew on Jaehyun's new clothes.

Ko: "민지야, 괜찮아." 해원이는 민망해하는 민지를 위로하며 말했다. 그녀의 마음은 어디에도 집중되지 않아서, 해원의 웃음소리가 먼 곳에서 들리는 것 같았다.
En: "Don't worry, Minji," Haewon comforted Minji, who looked embarrassed. Her mind was not focused, and Haewon's laughter seemed to come from a distant place.

Ko: 재현은 옷에 묻은 김치를 닦으며, "괜찮아, 민지. 돈이면 벌면 돼." 라며 미소를 지었다. 그의 미소를 보며 미안함보다는 안도감을 느낀 민지는 다시 자리에 앉았다.
En: Jaehyun wiped off the kimchi from his clothes and smiled, saying, "It's okay, Minji. I can earn the money if it's about money." Minji felt relieved rather than sorry when she saw his smile. She sat back in her seat.

Ko: 그들은 식사를 이어가며, 평소와 같이 서로에게 벌어진 일상을 나누며 웃었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 그 순간의 긴장감이나 불편함은 언제나 처럼 소소한 일상 이야기로는 쉽게 사라지지 않았다.
En: They continued their meal, sharing their daily experiences as usual, and laughed with each other. However, the tension and discomfort of that moment were not easily erased, just like any other small daily anecdotes.

Ko: 식사가 끝난 후, 재현이 슬금슬금 언급한 소식은 그들이 겪었던 갈등을 자연스럽게 해결하고 서로를 더욱 이해할 수 있는 계기가 되었다. "마침 내일 돈 받으러 가야 했는데, 이제 새로운 셔츠를 살 이유가 생겼네." 라며 걱정스러운 얼굴로 웃어보이는 민지에게 재현은 고개를 끄덕였다.
En: After the meal, the news that Jaehyun casually mentioned became an opportunity for them to naturally resolve the conflicts they had experienced and understand each other better. "I happened to need money tomorrow to buy a new shirt. Now I have a reason," Jaehyun nodded with a worried face while smiling at Minji.

Ko: 그들이 겪었던 너무나 작은 갈등은 결국 서로를 이해하고 배려하는 더 깊은 인연으로 이끌어졌다. 이제 민지는 재현의 옷에 김치찌개를 쏟는 그런 작은 실수들이 서로를 단단하게 엮어주는 강력한 접착제임을 깨달았다. 이 무사고 내의 소음은 그들에게 가치있는 교훈을 품고 떠나갔다.
En: The small conflict they had experienced ultimately led to a deeper connection where they understood and cared for each other. Minji realized that those small mistakes, such as spilling kimchi stew on Jaehyun's clothes, were powerful adhesive that firmly bonded them. The noise within this incident left them with valuable lessons as it departed.
