En: The bamboo forest was gently swaying in the warm breeze of late spring. Ko: 부처님 오신 날, 진우는 생애 첫 전통 다도회를 준비하고 있었습니다. En: On Buddha's Birthday, Jinwoo was preparing for his very first traditional tea ceremony. Ko: 그의 이마엔 땀이 송글송글 맺혔습니다. En: Sweat was beading on his forehead. Ko: 이 자리는 할아버지를 기리기 위해서였습니다. En: This occasion was to honor his grandfather. Ko: 할아버지는 어릴 적부터 진우에게 다도의 중요성과 평화로움에 대해 가르쳐 주셨습니다. En: From a young age, his grandfather had taught Jinwoo about the importance and tranquility of tea ceremonies. Ko: 진우의 옆에는 걱정 없는 사촌 민준과 차분한 친구 수빈이 있었습니다. En: Beside Jinwoo were his carefree cousin Minjun and his calm friend Subin. Ko: 수빈은 진우가 긴장할 때마다 그를 진정시키곤 했습니다. En: Subin would always calm him whenever he was nervous. Ko: 하지만 오늘은 진우가 혼자서 해내야 했습니다. En: But today, Jinwoo had to manage on his own. Ko: 진우는 다도를 시작하기 전, 가슴을 진정시키기 위해 할아버지께 배운 호흡법을 실천하기로 결심합니다. En: Before starting the tea ceremony, Jinwoo decided to practice the breathing technique taught by his grandfather to calm his heart. Ko: 진우는 천천히 깊게 숨을 들이마셨습니다. En: He inhaled deeply and slowly. Ko: 숲의 향기가 코를 간지럽혔고 새들의 지저귐이 귀에 들어왔습니다. En: The scent of the forest tickled his nose, and the chirping of the birds filled his ears. Ko: 다시 숨을 내쉬며 마음을 차분히 가라앉혔습니다. En: As he exhaled again, he calmed his mind. Ko: 참가자들이 자리에 앉고 진우는 차를 내리기 시작했습니다. En: As the participants took their seats, Jinwoo began to pour the tea. Ko: 한 순간, 그의 머리가 어지러워졌습니다. En: For a moment, he felt dizzy. Ko: \"진우야, 괜찮아? En: \"Jinwoo, are you okay?\" Ko: \" 민준이 물었습니다. En: Minjun asked. Ko: 진우는 잠시 멈췄습니다.
