En: One day, when the spring sunlight was warmly shining, Ji-yoon visited the Dongdemun Market with a heart half filled with worry and half with excitement. Ko: 바로 다음 주면 언니의 전통 결혼식이었고, 지윤은 무슨 선물을 사야 할지 고민이 많았습니다. En: Her sister's traditional wedding was just around the corner, and Ji-yoon was fretting over what gift to buy. Ko: 어떻게 해야 언니가 기뻐하고 만족할 수 있는 뜻깊은 선물을 준비할 수 있을지, 문득 걱정이 밀려왔습니다. En: The thought of how to prepare a meaningful gift that would please and satisfy her sister suddenly overwhelmed her.
