En: In the bustling heart of Seoul, there was a corporate office decorated with modern design. Ko: 여름의 따스한 햇살이 큰 창문을 통해 사무실에 들어왔다. En: The warm summer sunlight streamed into the office through the large windows. Ko: 하지만, 형광등 불빛 아래 업무에 지친 직원들은 이를 느낄 여유가 없었다.

En: Although Jiho felt embarrassed, he eventually shared his health condition due to her sincere concern. Ko: "사실 좀 이상해요. 자꾸 어지럽고, 가끔 정신이 멍해져요." 민서는 지호에게 병원에 가보자고 제안했다. En: "Actually, I feel a bit strange. I keep getting dizzy, and sometimes my mind goes blank." Minseo suggested that Jiho see a doctor. Ko: 며칠 후, 중요한 회의가 열렸다.
