If we go here, we can find the answer."Ko: 민지는 고개를 갸웃했다.En: Minji tilted her head.Ko: "진짜일까? 하지만 네가 믿으니까 한번 해보자."En: "Is it real? But since you believe in it, let's give it a shot."Ko: 두 사람은 고대 도시의 복잡한 경로로 들어갔다.En: The two ventured into the complex pathways of the ancient city.Ko: 탑과 불상, 무덤들이 그들을 맞았다.En: They were met with towers, statues of Buddha, and tombs.Ko: 곳곳에 연등이 걸려 있었다.En: Everywhere, lanterns were hung.Ko: 부처님 오신 날이 가까웠다.En: Buddha’s birthday was approaching.Ko: 지호는 지도의 지시대로 덜 알려진 경로를 탔다.En: Jiho took a lesser-known path, as instructed by the map.Ko: 민지는 마음속 깊이 사실을 찾고 싶었다.En: Deep down, Minji wanted to find the truth.Ko: 사실이든 전설이든, 그들은 앞으로 나아갔다.En: Whether fact or legend, they moved forward.Ko: 갑자기, 지호는 고대 사원의 숨겨진 방을 찾았다.En: Suddenly, Jiho discovered a hidden room in an ancient temple.Ko: 방 안에서 오래된 비문이 있었다.En: Inside the room was an old inscription.Ko: "봐, 여기다! 우리가 찾던 유물의 단서야!"En: "Look, here it is! It’s the clue to the artifact we were looking for!"Ko: 지호와 민지는 비문을 따라갔다. 그들은 드디어 전설의 유물을 찾았다.En: Following the inscription, Jiho and Minji finally found the mythical artifact.Ko: 유물은 작고 빛났다.En: It was small and shone brightly.Ko: 그 순간, 그들은 가족의 과거와 연결되었다.En: At that moment, they connected with their family's past.Ko: 돌아오는 길에, 지호는 말했다. "네가 의심하는 이유를 이해했어. 논리도 중요해."En: On the way back, Jiho said, "I understand why you were doubtful. Logic is important too."Ko: 민지는 미소 지었다.En: Minji smiled.Ko: "너의 믿음도 귀중해. 우리 가족의 이야기는 진짜였어."En: "So is your belief. Our family's story was true."Ko: 그들은 집으로 돌아갔다.En: They went back home.Ko: 지호와 민지는 보물을 찾았지만, 그보다 더 큰 유산을 얻었다. 바로 서로에 대한 이해와 가족에 대한 깊은 사랑이었다.En: Jiho and Minji found the treasure, but they gained an even greater legacy: a deeper understanding of each other and profound love for their family.Ko: 경주의 봄날은 그들에게 새로운 이야기를 선물했다.En: The spring day in Gyeongju gifted them a new story.
