Ko: 용기를 내어 지수에게 다가가는데, 그 순간, 지수가 민서에게 말을 건넸다.
En: Mustering up the courage, she approaches Jisoo, and at that moment, he speaks to her first.

Ko: 제 디자인 작업에 영감을 받고 싶어서요.
En: I wanted to get inspired for my design work."

Ko: " 그녀의 소심함에도 불구하고, 지수의 친근한 태도에 마음이 풀린다.
En: Despite her shyness, Jisoo's friendly demeanor puts her at ease.

Ko: 지수는 민서에게 사진을 함께 찍자고 제안했다.
En: Jisoo suggests they take photos together.

Ko: "타워 위에서 사진 찍고, 내려와서 근처를 함께 돌아다녀 볼래요?
