En: Spring in Jeju is special. Ko: 푸른 하늘 아래 노란 유채꽃이 바람에 살랑거립니다. En: Yellow canola flowers sway in the wind beneath the blue sky. Ko: 이렇게 아름다운 날씨에도, 지호는 마음이 심란했습니다. En: Even in such beautiful weather, Jiho felt uneasy. Ko: 그는 대학생입니다. En: He is a university student. Ko: 요즘 그는 과제와 시험 준비로 바쁩니다. En: Lately, he has been busy with assignments and exam preparations. Ko: 하지만, 오늘은 불교의 날입니다. En: However, today is Buddha's Day. Ko: 특별한 봄 여행을 떠나기로 했습니다. En: He decided to embark on a special spring trip. Ko: 그의 단짝 친구 민영과 함께요.
