You did really well," Su-jin said with a smile.Ko: 지호는 작지만 큰 변화를 느꼈다.En: Ji-ho felt a small but significant change.Ko: 두려움을 이겨냈고, 그로 인해 다가올 미래엔 조금 더 용감해질 수 있을 것 같았다.En: Overcoming his fear made him feel like he could be a bit braver in the future.Ko: 이번 겨울, 그는 자기 자신을 지켜낸 것이 가장 의미 있는 새해 선물이었다.En: This winter, protecting himself was the most meaningful New Year's gift he could receive.
