| 안녕하세요 |
Hello |
| 성함이 어떻게 되시나요? |
Would you mind telling me your name? |
| 그는 생각한다 |
He thinks |
|
This episode is written differently from the others: instead of transcribed
spoken dialogue, it's third-person narration in the literary present tense
(그는 생각한다, "he thinks," rather than 그는 생각했다, "he thought"). This is
the standard tense for Korean prose narration – a short story or novel
describes events as if unfolding right now, even when telling a complete,
finished story. Expect fewer casual contractions and slang here than in the
other episodes, and more of a descriptive, almost stage-direction feel.
|
| 최대한 자연스럽게 행동하는 동시에 |
that he should act as naturally as possible |
|
-는 동시에 means "at the same time as," used to join two things happening or
being true simultaneously – here, trying to act natural while also, in the
next line, trying not to look over-experienced.
|
| 너무 많이 와본 것 같지는 않아야 한다고 |
but shouldn’t look like he’s been to these places too many times |
| 같은 순간 그녀는 |
At the same moment |
| 남자의 옆에 서 있을지 |
she thinks for a while |
| 아니면 뒤에 서 있을지 |
whether she should be standing next to him |
| 엘레베이터나 누르고 있을까? |
or behind him |
| 라는 고민을 잠시 하고. |
or just call the elevator |
|
These four lines are one sentence, stacking three alternatives with -(으)ㄹ지
("whether to...") before landing on the main verb 고민을 하다 ("to agonize/
deliberate") at the very end: "she briefly wonders whether to stand next to
him, or behind him, or just press the elevator button." Because Korean saves
the verb for last, the English cells had to be shuffled to front-load "she
thinks for a while" – another case of the reordering mentioned in the
disclaimer, so read the English column straight through rather than row by
row.
|
| 둘은 아무 말이 없다 |
They say nothing |
| 그는 객실키를 꽂고 |
He puts the room key in the holder |
| 예약한 방의 분위기를 살핀 다음 |
looks around the room he reserved |
| 괜찮네 |
and says words like |
| 정도의 말을 한 마디 해주고 |
“Looks okay” |
|
N 정도의 말을 하다 means "to say something along the lines of N" – a
hedging way to report speech loosely, without committing to an exact quote.
Here it's "he says a word or two to the effect of '괜찮네' (not bad)," used
because the narrator is summarizing a small, unremarkable exchange rather than
transcribing it precisely.
|
| 여자는 가방을 내려놓고 |
She puts down her purse |
| 가장자리에 잠시 걸터 앉았다가 |
sits on the corner of the bed |
| 그러네 |
“It does” |
| 라며 웃는다 |
and smiles |
| 남잔 냉장고를 열어 |
He opens the mini bar |
| 커피와 |
and says that there are coffee |
| 콜라와 |
coke |
| 물과 |
water |
| 주스와 |
juice |
| 초콜릿도 있단 말을 하고 |
and chocolates |
| 여잔 창가로 다가가 |
She goes to the window |
| 풍경을 확인한다 |
and checks the view |
| 그에 남잔 |
And he goes closer to her |
| 아무렇지 않게 여자에게 다가가 |
spontaneously |
| 여자가 좋아하는 모습을 보며 |
looks at her enjoying the view |
| 자신도 가벼운 미소를 지어주고 |
and smiles at her |
| 눈 아래 보이는 건물을 아는 체 해준 다음 |
He points at a building for a moment |
|
-(으)ㄴ/는 체하다 (interchangeable with -(으)ㄴ/는 척하다) means "to pretend/act
as if..." – 아는 체하다 is "to act like you know [something]," so he's
performing familiarity with the building for her benefit, even if he might
not actually know what it is.
|
| 살며시 여자의 허리를 감싸안고 |
softly puts his arms around her waist |
| 하늘을 한 번 쳐다본 후에 |
looks up the sky once |
| 서서히 여자의 몸을 돌려 |
slowly turns her body to face him |
| 입술을 향해 천천히 다가선다 |
and moves closer to her lips |
| 여자도 그에 맞춰 눈을 감아보려던 찰나 |
She tries to close her eyes |
| 아직은 뭔가 어색한 기분에 |
but feels somewhat awkward |
| 조금씩 남자에게서 몸을 빼낸 다음 |
So she slowly comes out of his arms |
|
몸을 빼(내)다, literally "to pull one's body out," is the natural way to
describe extracting yourself from someone's arms or an embrace – a
physical, visual idiom rather than something you'd build word-by-word.
|
| 여기 진짜 좋다! |
and tries to break the ice |
| 라는 말로 분위기를 전환 시켜 본다 |
saying “it’s really nice here” |
| 남잔 허탈함이 들키지않도록 애써 표정을 유지한 채 |
He tries not to show that he is feeling let down |
|
허탈하다/허탈함 describes a hollow, deflated feeling – the letdown when
built-up hopes or effort suddenly come to nothing. -지 않도록 means "so as not
to..." (a negative purpose clause), and 표정을 유지한 채 uses 채, correctly
this time, following the modifier clause 유지한 exactly the way it's supposed
to (see the 채/째 mix-up noted back in episode 4) – "while keeping his
expression [steady]."
|
| 침대에 누워 이젠 정말 뭘 해야 할지 생각한다 |
and lies on the bed, thinking what they are really going to do |
| 뭐 먹으러 갈까? |
You wanna go out and eat something? |
| 여잔 생각한다 |
She is thinking |
| 어차피 학교 다닐 때도 |
that they travelled together sometimes |
| 같이 여행을 다녔으니 |
when they were in school |
| 그다지 다를게 없다고 |
so this time it’s nothing different |
|
어차피 ("anyway," "either way") is a common filler for resigning yourself to
something as inevitable, and 그다지 ~ 없다/않다 ("not particularly/not all
that...") is the standard pairing for a mild negative – together they set
up her reasoning: "we already travelled together before anyway, so it's not
like this is that different."
|
| 하지만 역시나 조금 부끄럽고 민망하고 |
But still, she feels a bit shy, embarrassed |
| 하지만 용기내어 샤워가운을 먼저 챙겨들고 |
But she gets up the nerve |
| 욕실로 들어간다 |
and goes into the bathroom first with a shower gown |
| 남자는 여자가 씻는 동안 |
While she’s having a shower |
| 와인과 치즈를 창가 테이블에 올려두고 |
he puts some wine and cheese on the table by the window |
| 분위기 좋은 영화를 함께 보면 좋겠단 생각에 채널을 돌려본다 |
and turns over the channels thinking a romantic movie will be good |
| 그러다 문득 |
But it suddenly comes to his mind |
| 영화 보단 더 좋은 걸 함께 하고 싶어진다 |
that he wants to do something better with her than watching a movie |
| 샤워를 마친 여자가 테이블로 걸어나오고 |
After she finishes her shower, she comes to the table |
| 남자는 냉장고에 다른 게 더 많단 말을 하며 욕실로 들어가고 |
He goes to the bathroom, saying there are other drinks in the fridge |
| 여잔 |
She thinks |
| 달빛이 좋네, 라는 생각을 하며 |
the moonlight is lovely |
| 역시나 호텔에선 와인이지 |
and a glass of wine in a hotel room is a good choice |
| 그러다 문득 |
But it suddenly comes to her mind |
| 와인 보단 더 좋은 걸 함께 하고 싶어진다 |
that she wants to do something better with him than drinking wine |
| 그들은 자신들이 평소에 늘 함께 하던 것들을 즐기기로 한다 |
They decide to do things they usually did together |
| 밤새 많은 얘기를 나누고 |
They talk about many things all night |
| 마음껏 취해도 좋다고 생각한다 |
thinking they can be drunk as much as they want |
| 특별한 밤을 보내기 위해 새로운 곳까지 찾아왔지만 |
They’ve come to a new place to spend a special night |
| 애써 바꾸지 않아도 |
But they were already feeling new |
| 그들은 이미 새로웠다 |
even though they didn’t try new things |
|
This closing line drops out of the moment-by-moment scene-narration and into
a simple past-tense statement (새로웠다, "they were new") – the narrator
stepping back to state the story's point directly, rather than continuing to
describe actions as they happen. It also pays off the hashtag: they went
looking for novelty in a new place, but the twist is that just being their
normal, comfortable selves together was already what made the night new.
