Korea's 5 Idols (translation from korean fic)

Description

I was dicking around on Naver the other day and found an old Changseo fic by this writer (Ryu Hina). The title is 대한민국 5대 아이돌 (IDOL PROJECT), and it was uploaded sometime in 2008 (I think). Changseo isn't the main couple, but I thought I'd translate some bits and pieces where they appear anyway. If I find any more Changseo fics written in Korean, I'll post them here and give credit to the original authors (and the link, of course~)

 

 

From Chapter 10: 

 

“What are you muttering about by yourself?”

 

“Huh?”

 

I turned my head slowly towards the voice that came from right behind me. When I saw him standing there, I jerked back one step. Changmin. Changmin, who I had just jumped back to avoid, standing with a cigarette between his lips and a lighter in his left hand. He looked at me with a strange expression before flicking on the lighter and setting his cigarette. So this oppa smoked, as well… I looked over the railing behind us, watching the white plumes billow into the evening air. This day has gone by so fast.

 

He watched my face, and I couldn’t understand what I saw in his eyes. And then he took  his cigarette from his lips.

 

 

 

 

“Isn’t it hard to live?” he said.

 

“What?”

 

“That’s just what I see in you.”

 

Is it hard to live? I asked myself.

 

Not at all.

It’s not hard to swallow the words I want to say, and let them be kicked to the ground when I do.

 

 

“Is it true?”

 

“Is what true?”

 

“That Donghae and Yoona are dating,” Changmin said.

 

“You heard that too? Seriously…” I let out a huff. “They’re so ridiculous! I can’t even look at them.”

 

He smirked as he watched me complain, and put the cigarette in his mouth again.

 

 

Subconsciously, my face darkened as I watched him smoke, and I heard a thought loud and clear in my head: If he keeps doing that, it’ll ruin his health. And then I flinched.

 

 

I’ll leave… before I can worry about useless things… about you, about anything.

 

I didn’t even wait to hear his reply-- I just I my heel and left, like I was escaping. I didn't look back, not even once, until I got to my dorm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why…

 

 

 

 

Why did I do that?

Foreword

My Korean isn't too great (stopped speaking it in high school) but this is great practice~ I'll also add some descriptions once in a while and change some phrasing, but 90% of it is the author's original work.

I was super surprised to have found this, considering that shipping isn't as big among kfans as it is among ifans. I'll update with more translations once my exams are over ^^
