Are you going to be okay?" she asked.Ko: "괜찮아, 미나. 이건 내 책임이야." 진수는 엄숙하게 대답했습니다.En: "I'm okay, Mina. This is my responsibility," Jinsu replied solemnly.Ko: 그는 가족에게서 받았던 압박을 떠올리며 굳은 결심을 했습니다.En: He recalled the pressure he had received from his family and made a firm resolution.Ko: 그들의 희망을 가져다줄 유물을 반드시 찾아야 했습니다.En: He had to find the artifact that would bring hope to his family.Ko: 현우 또한 함께 있었습니다.En: Hyunwoo was also with them.Ko: 그는 진수의 오랜 친구이자, 이번 탐험에 필요한 든든한 동반자였습니다.En: He was Jinsu's long-time friend and a reliable companion necessary for this expedition.Ko: "진수, 우리가 함께 하니까 겁낼 필요 없어. 유물을 찾을 때까지 끝까지 함께할게," 현우가 말했습니다.En: "Jinsu, you don't need to be scared because we're together. I'll be with you until we find the artifact," Hyunwoo said.Ko: 진수와 그의 친구들은 경복궁의 넓은 마당을 가로질렀습니다.En: Jinsu and his friends crossed the vast courtyard of Gyeongbokgung.Ko: 눈과 바람이 휘몰아쳤지만, 그들은 서로 의지하며 한 걸음씩 나아갔습니다.En: Despite the swirling snow and wind, they supported each other and moved forward step by step.Ko: 갑자기 현우가 무언가를 발견했습니다.En: Suddenly, Hyunwoo discovered something.Ko: "여기! 땅 속에 숨겨진 입구 같아!" 현우가 외쳤습니다.En: "Here! It looks like a hidden entrance underground!" Hyunwoo shouted.Ko: 그들은 흥분에 차서 그 문을 열었습니다.En: They opened the door in excitement.Ko: 길게 이어진 비밀 통로가 그들 앞에 펼쳐졌습니다.En: A long, secret passageway unfolded before them.Ko: 통로를 따라 걷는 동안, 바람 소리는 점차 멀어지고 고요함이 찾아왔습니다.En: As they walked through the passage, the sound of the wind gradually faded and silence took over.Ko: 그 끝에는 고대의 창고가 있었습니다.En: At the end was an ancient storeroom.Ko: 진수는 그 안에서 작은 상자를 발견했습니다.En: Inside, Jinsu found a small box.Ko: 상자 안에는 아름답고 오래된 장식품이 있었습니다.En: Inside the box was a beautiful and old ornament.Ko: 그 장식품이 그토록 찾던 가족의 유물이었습니다.En: It was the family artifact they had been searching for.Ko: 진수는 가슴이 벅차올랐습니다.En: Jinsu's heart swelled with emotion.Ko: "드디어 찾았어," 그는 속삭였습니다.En: "I finally found it," he whispered.Ko: 그 순간 눈보라는 절정에 달하고 있었지만, 진수는 유물을 꼭 끌어안고 있었습니다.En: At that moment, the snowstorm was at its peak, but Jinsu clutched the artifact tightly.Ko: 그의 결단력과 용기가 보상을 받았습니다.En: His determination and courage were rewarded.Ko: 밖으로 나왔을 때, 그들은 차가운 바람 속에서도 따뜻함을 느꼈습니다.En: When they emerged outside, they felt warmth despite the cold wind.Ko: 미나와 현우는 진수를 기다리고 있었습니다.En: Mina and Hyunwoo were waiting for Jinsu.Ko: "잘했어, 진수!" 미나가 웃으며 말했습니다.En: "Well done, Jinsu!" Mina said with a smile.Ko: 현우는 진수의 어깨를 두드렸습니다.En: Hyunwoo patted Jinsu's shoulder.Ko: 진수는 가족에게 돌아갔습니다.En: Jinsu returned to his family.Ko: 유물을 손에 든 그의 마음은 한결 가벼웠습니다.En: With the artifact in hand, his heart felt lighter.Ko: 그는 이제 가족의 역사와 자신이 맡은 역할에 더 큰 자신감을 가졌습니다.En: He now had greater confidence in his family's history and his role in it.Ko: 힘든 여정이었지만, 그는 가족의 소중함과 역사에 대해 더욱 깊게 이해하게 되었습니다.En: It had been a challenging journey, but he gained a deeper understanding of the importance and history of his family.Ko: 경복궁의 눈보라가 그의 마음속에서 사라졌습니다.En: The snowstorm of Gyeongbokgung vanished from his heart.
