"이런 문양, 기억나요?"En: Minji asked again, "Do you remember this symbol?"Ko: 진우는 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Jinwoo nodded.Ko: 그의 마음속에 오랜 기억이 떠올랐다.En: An old memory surfaced in his mind.Ko: 그 문양은 오래전에 헤어졌던 가족과 관련이 있었다.En: The symbol was related to his family, from whom he had parted long ago.Ko: 그 순간, 진우는 소포가 가족의 연락 신호일 수 있다는 확신이 들었다.En: At that moment, Jinwoo was convinced that the package might be a sign of communication from his family.Ko: 민지의 도움으로 진우는 소포의 발신인을 찾아낼 수 있었다.En: With Minji's help, Jinwoo was able to find the sender of the package.Ko: 소포는 그동안 연락이 끊겼던 아버지에게서 온 것이었다.En: It was from his father, with whom contact had been lost.Ko: 아버지는 매년 진우에게 메시지를 보낼 방법을 찾고 있었던 것이다.En: His father had been trying to find a way to send a message to Jinwoo every year.Ko: 진우는 마음이 복잡했다.En: Jinwoo felt a mix of emotions.Ko: 잊고 있던 가족의 존재가 다시 되살아났기 때문이다.En: The presence of family he had forgotten about was revived.Ko: 하지만 아버지의 진심이 담긴 소포를 받고, 진우는 가족의 중요성을 깨닫게 되었다.En: However, receiving the package filled with his father's sincerity, Jinwoo realized the importance of family.Ko: 그는 소포를 열고, 그것이 단순한 선물이 아니라 가족의 사랑이라는 것을 느꼈다.En: When he opened the package, he felt that it was not just a simple gift but that it contained the love of family.Ko: 경찰서를 나서며 진우는 생각했다. "가족이란, 잊힌 것 같아도 언제나 함께 있는 것이다."En: As he left the police station, Jinwoo thought, "Family is something that is always with you, even if it seems forgotten."Ko: 그리고 그는 오래된 가족의 연결을 이어가기 위한 첫걸음을 내딛었다.En: And he took the first step in rekindling his long-lost family connections.
