Jun asked in a trembling voice.Ko: 민서는 답하지 않았다.En: Minseo did not respond.Ko: 준은 당황했다.En: Jun was in a state of panic.Ko: 유적지는 너무 멀어서 즉각적인 도움을 받을 수 없었다.En: The ruins were too remote to get immediate help.Ko: 준은 결정을 내려야 했다. 계속 탐험할 것인가? 아니면 민서의 건강을 우선시해야 할까?En: He had to make a decision: continue the exploration or prioritize Minseo’s health?Ko: 그때, 준은 우연히 발 밑의 비밀 문을 발견했다.En: At that moment, Jun accidentally discovered a hidden door beneath his feet.Ko: 그는 그 문이 고대 유물을 보호하고 있을 것이라 생각했다.En: He thought it might be protecting ancient artifacts.Ko: 준은 순간 망설였지만, 곧 결심했다.En: Although he hesitated for a moment, he soon made up his mind.Ko: 민서가 먼저였다.En: Minseo came first.Ko: "미안해, 민서. 유물보다 네가 더 중요해," 준은 속삭였다.En: "I'm sorry, Minseo. You're more important than any artifact," Jun whispered.Ko: 두 사람은 가까운 마을로 돌아왔다.En: The two returned to the nearby village.Ko: 민서는 점점 깨어났고 도움을 받을 수 있었다.En: Minseo gradually regained consciousness and was able to receive help.Ko: 준은 유적지에서 찾은 유물보다 더 소중한 것을 이해하게 되었다.En: Jun realized he had found something more precious than the artifacts in the ruins.Ko: 그것은 바로 사람과의 관계였다.En: It was the relationship with people.Ko: 준과 민서는 추석날 서로의 소중함을 다시금 느꼈다.En: On Chuseok, Jun and Minseo appreciated each other’s importance anew.Ko: 가족과 함께한 시간은 소중했고, 준은 자신의 결정에 후회가 없었다.En: The time spent with family was invaluable, and Jun had no regrets about his decision.Ko: 유물은 금으로 만들어지지 않았지만, 사람의 마음은 가장 큰 보물이란 것을 깨달았다.En: Although the artifacts were not made of gold, he realized that the human heart is the greatest treasure.
