The wind blows through the desert. The wind blows through the desert. Sangmin and Jihyun stopped the wind in front of the desert. Sangmin had a deep breath in his shoulder with a heavy bag.

2:01It was hard to find a place to be quiet here. Sangmin was too far away. But I wanted to come to this island once. Jihyun told me that there was a place where our secret was. Sangmin and Jihyun had to prepare for school exams. There was no place to be quiet. Then Sangmin's eyes were empty. There was a rumor that there was a secret bunker in Jihyun's room. Jihyun was too far away. Jihyun told me that there was a secret. It was a little scary, but Sangmin got a lot of work. Still, you have to try it. It's too noisy here. I tried to find the secret bunker without asking about the neighborhood. I ran down the stairs. The heavy fog was there. The door was open.

3:03The naarist was near the old car door. There was a faint smell. I was scared. Jihyun was scared of being innocent. It's okay, there's no ghost here, Sangmin said it. They sat on the table. The bright sound of the wind was heard from the environment, but it was very quiet. The bunker was warm and warm. The small window was empty through the window, and the floor was closed. Sangmin began to focus on the reading of the book. He thought that he needed you right away. Jihyun saw his own book and saw his own image. As time passed, two people returned to the bunker and found the old materials.

4:06The materials were introduced to the old books. Sangmin saw his own voice like this. Jihyun was happy and knew that he was new. Suddenly, two people lost their secrets. The difficult problems of the bunker became easy to find. Sangmin said, he found his own feeling. When it was time to leave the bunker, two people went up to their own heart. They looked at each other and laughed at each other. We could see this poem well, but Jihyun said it to Sangmin. Sangmin said, thank you for your support. Two were closer to each other and found their own feeling. Let's take another listen.

5:09Listen closely to any parts you may have missed. The wind in Seoul blew gently, and it breathes through the windows of the Seoul Library. Sangmin and Jihyun stopped at the entrance of the library. Sangmin and Jihyun stopped at the entrance of the library. Sangmin carried a heavy bag on his shoulder and exhaled a deep sigh. It's really hard to find a quiet place here. Sangmin muttered. It's really hard to find a quiet place here. Sangmin muttered. Still, I've always wanted to check out this library, Jihyun said kindly.

6:20I heard there's a secret spot here. Sangmin and Jihyun had to prepare for their school exams. There was no quiet place inside the library. Sangmin's eyes were empty. Then Sangmin's eyes lit up. Wasn't there a rumor about a secret bunker in the basement? Guisin' 이야기는 들었어. 좀 무섭지만... Jihyun hesitated. I've heard ghost stories. I'm a bit scared, but...

7:22Sangmin made up his mind. We still have to try. It's too noisy here. 둘은 도서관 직원에게 물어보지 않고 비밀 벙커를 찾기로 했다. Without asking the library staff, they decided to look for the secret bunker. As they went down the stairs, a heavy wooden door stood before them. The door creaked open. Inside, it was dark and filled with dusty old books. A musty smell lingered. 무섭다. I'm scared. Jihyun whispered cautiously.

8:22괜찮아요. 여긴 귀신 없을 거야. 상민이 말했다. It's okay. There won't be any ghosts here, Sangmin reassured. 그들은 테이블에 앉았다. They sat down at a table. 날카로운 바람 소리가 현관에서 들려왔지만 금방 조용해졌다. A sharp wind sound came from the entrance, but it soon became quiet. The bunker was surprisingly warm and cozy. Spring sunlight streamed through a small window, creating patterns on the floor. 상민은 수학책을 펼치고 집중하기 시작했다. Sangmin opened a math book and started to focus.

9:22그는 이게 바로 필요했던 평화야, 라고 속으로 생각했다. He thought to himself, this is just the piece I needed. 지현은 그의 모습을 보며 조용히 자신의 책을 꺼냈다. 지현 watching him quietly took out her own book. As time passed, the two of them wandered around the bunker, discovering old materials. 그 자료들은 오래된 수학기법을 소개하고 있었다. These materials introduced ancient mathematical techniques. 상민은 자상한 목소리로 이렇게 보는 거야. 지현이 기뻐하며 새로 알게 된 것을 따라했다. In a gentle voice, Sangmin said, this is how you see it, and Ji-Hoon happily followed the new insights.

10:24갑자기 두 사람은 빙그시 미소를 지었다. Suddenly, they both burst into a smile. 범커 덕분에 이 어려운 문제들이 쉽게 느껴져. 상민이 말하며 자신감을 찾았다. Thanks to the bunker, these difficult problems seem easy. Sangmin said, finding his confidence. 범커에서 떠날 시간이 되자. 두 사람은 홀가분한 마음으로 올라갔다. When it was time to leave the bunker, they went upstairs with a light heart. 그들은 도서관 문을 라섬여 서로를 바라보고 웃었다. As they stepped out of the library, they looked at each other and laughed. 우리 이번 시험 잘 볼 수 있을 거야. 지현이 상민에게 말했다. We'll do well on this exam, Ji-Hoon said to Sangmin.

11:25내 덕분에 상민은 고마운 마음을 전했다. Yes, thanks to you, Sangmin expressed his gratitude. 둘은 범커에서의 경험으로 더 가까워지고 자신감을 얻었다. Through their experience in the bunker, they became closer and gained confidence. 그들은 자신들의 길을 확신하며, 다시 바람이 부는 거리를 걸어갔다. A shirt of their path, they walked again through the windy streets.
