En: The evening sky was tinted in shades of pink and orange. Ko: 진우는 큰 가족 집의 마당에 서 있었다. En: Jinwoo was standing in the yard of the large family home. Ko: 집은 시끌벅적했다. En: The house was bustling with activity. Ko: 아이들이 웃고, 어른들은 바비큐 그릴 앞에서 대화를 나누고 있었다. En: Children were laughing, and adults were chatting in front of the barbecue grill.

En: The screen displayed the name of a client marked as 'essential.' Ko: 그는 잠시 가족을 뒤로 하고 조용한 곳으로 이동했다. En: He momentarily left his family and moved to a quiet spot. Ko: “네, 안녕하세요. 말씀하세요.” En: "Yes, hello. Please go ahead." Ko: 고객은 중요한 기한을 언급했다. En: The client mentioned an important deadline. Ko: 기한은 가족 모임과 겹쳤다. En: The deadline coincided with the family gathering. Ko: 진우는 마음속으로 고민에 빠졌다. En: Jinwoo became lost in thought.
