shoe sole
준호는 폰을 바닥에 내려놓고 두 손으로 이케아 옷장을 밀었다. 운동화 밑창이 원목 마루 위에서 삐걱거렸다. 아래층에서 소리가 들릴 것 같아 발뒤꿈치를 살짝 들었다.
Junho put down his phone and pushed the IKEA wardrobe with both hands. The soles of his sneakers squeaked on the wooden floor. He lifted his heels slightly, worried about making noise for the downstairs neighbors.

rear-view mirror
민준은 시동을 걸기 전에 갤러리를 열었다. 사진이 클라우드에 저장된 것을 확인하고, 편의점 영수증을 재킷 안주머니에 넣었다. 내일 아침 무슨 일이 생기든, 오늘 밤 자신이 무엇을 봤는지는 이제 사라지지 않는다. 그는 차를 빼면서 백미러로 건물을 한 번 돌아봤다.
Before starting the engine, Minjun opened his gallery. He confirmed the photos were saved to the cloud, and put the convenience store receipt in his jacket's inner pocket. Whatever happens tomorrow morning, what he saw tonight would not disappear now. As he pulled out the car, he glanced back at the building in the rearview mirror.

greenish color
피부가 약간 초록빛이었고, 머리가 너무 많이 헝클어져 있었으며, 방망이를 들고 있었다.
The skin was a bit greenish, the hair was very disheveled, and it was holding a club.

대회 날, 민준은 붉은 샅바를 허리에 두르고 당당하게 경기장에 들어섰다.
On the day of the competition, Min-jun wrapped the red satba around his waist and entered the arena confidently.

side profile
남자 쪽 옆얼굴이 선명하게 보였다. 테이블 위에 와인 잔 두 개. 마주 앉은 여자는 모르는 얼굴이었다.
The man's profile was clearly visible. Two wine glasses on the table. The woman sitting opposite was an unfamiliar face.

freckles
지연은 치과 유니폼을 입으며 그 메시지를 읽었다. 거울 속에 피곤한 자신의 얼굴이 비쳤다. 코 위 주근깨, 턱 옆 옅은 흉터. 늘 보던 얼굴인데 오늘은 낯설었다.
Jiyeon read the message while putting on her dental uniform. Her tired face was reflected in the mirror. Freckles on her nose, a faint scar next to her chin. It was the same face she always saw, but today it felt unfamiliar.

from a distance
단톡방이 조용해진다. 서연은 화면에서 눈을 떼지 못하고, 태우는 책상 위 USB 드라이브를 멀찍이 바라본다. 오전 11시 17분. 아무도 먼저 말을 꺼내지 않는다.
The group chat grows quiet. Seoyeon can't take her eyes off the screen, and Taeu looks distantly at the USB drive on the desk. 11:17 AM. No one speaks first.

styrofoam
경매장 형광등이 파랗게 번지는 새벽. 박성태는 스티로폼 상자 사이를 걷다 21번 구역 앞에서 멈췄다. 파란 테이프가 대각선으로 붙은 상자. 자기만의 포장 방식이었다.
The pre-dawn auction hall, fluorescent lights casting a blue haze. Park Sung-tae walked between styrofoam boxes and stopped in front of section 21. A box with blue tape diagonally across it. It was his own way of packing.

peel off
준호는 벽지 모서리를 손톱 끝으로 살살 들어올렸다. 오래된 풀이 이미 들떠 있어서 생각보다 쉽게 벗겨졌다. 얇은 합판 문이 드러났다. 손잡이 자리는 퍼티로 깔끔하게 메워져 있었다.
Junho gently lifted the corner of the wallpaper with his fingernail. The old adhesive was already peeling, so it came off easier than expected. A thin plywood door was revealed. The spot for the handle had been neatly filled with putty.

마치 누군가가 커튼을 양쪽으로 당기는 것처럼, 물이 서서히 나뉘면서 가운데 젖은 길이 나타났다.
As if someone was pulling curtains to both sides, as the water gradually divided, a wet path appeared in the middle.

서연아... 나 지금 주차장 기둥 옆에 쭈그려 앉아 있어. 있잖아, 10년 넘게 이 회사 다녔는데. 뭔가 이상하다는 느낌은 올해 초부터 있었거든. 결산 숫자가 어떤 때 이상하게 딱딱 맞아떨어지는 것 같기도 하고... 근데 그게 나랑 연결돼 있으면 어떡하나 싶어서.
Seoyeon... I'm currently crouching next to a parking pillar. You know, I've worked at this company for over 10 years. I've had a feeling something was off since the beginning of the year. Sometimes the year-end closing numbers seem to fit together a bit too perfectly... But I'm worried about what if I'm implicated.

came running
최지영이 뛰어왔다. 노트를 두 손으로 받쳐 들고. 이순남은 문가에 서서 말없이 받았다. 겉표지에는 할머니의 글씨, 그 아래는 어머니의 글씨, 마지막 페이지에는 이순남 자신의 글씨가 있었다. 삼 대가 채운 책. 이순남은 한참 표지를 내려다봤다.
Choi Jiyoung ran over, holding the notebook with both hands. Lee Soon-nam received it wordlessly, standing at the doorway. The cover had Grandma's handwriting, below that Mom's handwriting, and on the last page was Lee Soon-nam's own handwriting. A book filled by three generations. Lee Soon-nam stared at the cover for a long time.
