쨈빵은 불이 켜진 창들을 올려다봤어요.
각자의 하루가
각자의 방식으로 정리되고 있을 것 같았죠.

jjambbang looked up at the lit windows.
Each one seemed to be
putting away its own kind of day.

쨈빵은 집에 거의 다 와서야 웃었어요.
오늘이 왜 좋았는지는 설명할 수 없었지만
좋았다는 건 분명했죠.

jjambbang smiled only when they were almost home.
They couldn’t explain why today felt good,
but they knew that it did.

쨈빵은 아직 완전히 밝아지지 않은 아침에 눈을 떴어요.
창밖은 조용했고, 공기는 새로웠죠.
오늘이 어떤 하루가 될지는 몰랐지만
시작은 나쁘지 않다고 느꼈어요.

jjambbang woke up before the morning fully arrived.
Outside was quiet, and the air felt new.
They didn’t know what kind of day it would be,
but the beginning felt gentle enough.
