“(Woman) My boyfriend lives in Jinju because of school and I live in Suwon. We agreed not to do anything on anniversaries since we live so far apart from each other. But on the 100th day of dating, I got off work and saw my boyfriend standing there in front of the restaurant.” “How did you feel?” “(Woman) Like, what is this person doing here?”

“(여자) 남자친구는 학교 때문에 진주에 살고 저는 수원에 살아요. 멀리 사니까 기념일 같은 건 챙기지 말자고 했죠. 그런데 만난 지 백일째 되던 날, 아르바이트 끝나고 나왔는데 식당 앞에 남자친구가 서 있는 거예요.” “어떤 기분이 들었어요?” “(여자) 이 사람이 왜 여기 있지?”

“Dancing makes us happy. We can feel that we’re in sync with each other. We began learning to dance together a year ago. We dance in festivals every other month. It’s already our fourth performance.” “How did you two meet?” “We actually met at a Catholic Church. At our church we prayed together and only saw each other’s quiet and careful side, but now we are going around dancing together.”

“춤을 추면 삶이 행복해져요. 서로 호흡도 느낄 수 있고요. 같이 춤을 배운 지 딱 일 년 됐어요. 두 달마다 페스티벌도 나가요. 지금 벌써 네 번째 참여하는 거예요.” “그럼 서로 어떻게 만나셨어요?” “사실 저희는 성당에서 만났어요. 성당에선 같이 기도하고 조용한, 조신한 모습만 봤는데, 지금은 이렇게 같이 춤추러 다니고 있네요.”

“Two years ago, I quit my job in sales and lived unemployed for over a year. I looked quite lethargic and pathetic then. I relieved my stress from being unemployed by playing videos games, and I just kept living like that. And just like that, a whole year flew by. At one point I thought, “What am I doing?” so through some courage, well, it was sort of like courage, I started to do a part-time job. After working a little bit, I began feeling refreshed, and I thought that I just had to earn enough money to live and keep going on, so I took on different kinds of work. Now I’m worried that I’ll turn into the person I was when I was unemployed, so I can’t rest for long lengths of time. The thing that bothered me the most then was my mindset. After taking a long break from working, I became lazy, and so I started to think ‘I have to do something!,’ but I didn’t actually do anything. I’ve always hated the type of person that does nothing even if they know what to do, so I couldn’t forgive myself.”

“2년 전에 판매직 일을 그만두고 1년 넘게 백수 생활을 한 적이 있어요. 그때 제 자신의 모습이 참 무기력하고 한심해 보였죠. 그런데 거기서 오는 스트레스를 게임으로 풀었고 그 생활만 반복되었죠. 그러다가 일년이란 시간이 훅 가더라고요. 어느 순간 ‘내가 뭘 하고 있는거지?’ 싶어서 용기 아닌 용기로 짧은 아르바이트를 시작했어요. 조금씩 일을 하다보니 다시 마음이 살아나고 ‘어떻게든 먹고 살아보자!’해서 여러가지 일을 하게 됐죠. 이제는 백수 때처럼 될 까봐 오래 못 쉬어요. 그때 저를 제일 괴롭혔던 거는 제 마음가짐이었거든요. 처음 일을 오래 쉬다 보니 나태해져서 머릿속으로 무언가 해야 된다는 생각만 하고 실천을 안 했었어요. 원래 제가 제일 싫어하는 스타일 중에 하나가 알면서 안 하는 거예요. 그래서 제 자신이 용서가 안 됐었죠.”
