이상한 합동작전
strange|joint operation
Strange Joint Operation
팬덤 안에 있는 사람이나 밖에서 관찰하는 사람이나 모두가 어느 정도는 알고 있는 사실이지만, 팬질이란 참 이상한 짓이다.
fandom|inside|being|person or|outside|observing|person or|everyone|some|degree|knowing|being|fact but|fandom|really|strange|thing
It is a fact that everyone, whether they are inside the fandom or observing from the outside, knows to some extent, but being a fan is truly a strange thing.
정상적인 인간의 선호체계와는 조금 다른 맹목적인 선호체계를 내면화하는 일이기 때문이다.
normal|human|preference system and|a little|different|blind|preference system|internalizing||
This is because it involves internalizing a somewhat different, blind preference system from that of a normal human's preference system.
보통 공연장에서 제일 좋은 자리는 1층 약간 앞쪽 가운데 어딘가다.
usually|in the concert hall|best|good|seat|first floor|slightly|towards the front|center|somewhere
Usually, the best seats in a performance venue are somewhere in the middle, slightly towards the front of the first floor.
정확히 어디인지는 콕 집어서 말하기 어렵지만 아무튼 맨 앞자리는 아니라는 뜻이었다.
exactly|where it is|specifically|pointing|to say|difficult but|anyway|very|front seat|not|meant
It's hard to pinpoint exactly where, but it means that it's definitely not the very front row.
그런데 팬덤이 생각하는 좋은 자리는 무조건 무대에서 제일 가까운 자리다.
but|fandom|thinks|good|seat|unconditionally|from the stage|closest|close|seat
However, what the fandom considers a good seat is unconditionally the one closest to the stage.
여기서부터 비극이 시작된다.
from here|tragedy|begins
This is where the tragedy begins.
전날 밤 작전장교 아가씨가 한 이야기도 바로 그 지점에서 시작되는 것이었다.
The story that the operations officer lady told the night before also starts from that point.
“열성적인 팬들은 티케팅이 어려워요.
"Enthusiastic fans have a hard time getting tickets.
그런데 팬 아닌 사람한테 부탁하면 의외로 어렵지 않게 표를 건져 오거든요.
However, if you ask someone who is not a fan, surprisingly, it's not that difficult to get tickets.
저도 사실 팬으로 시작한 게 아니고 부탁받아서 티케팅하다가 팬이 돼버린 경우인데, 자, 여기 이 그림을 보세요.
Actually, I didn't start as a fan; I became a fan after being asked to get tickets, but look at this picture here."
여기가 무대고 이 앞이 객석이에요.
here|is the stage|this|front|is the audience seating
This is the stage and this in front is the audience seating.
사이트가 마비되는 경우에는 눈으로 직접 확인하는 게 쉽지 않지만, 마비가 안 되고 5분이든 10분이든 매진될 때까지 한 번에 쭉 진행되는 콘서트를 보면 티켓이 팔려 나가는 게 눈으로 보여요.
the site|crashing|in case|with my eyes|directly|confirming|thing|not easy|but|crashing|not|happening|whether it's 5 minutes|or 10 minutes|sold out|until|one|at a time|continuously|happening|concert|when I see|tickets|selling|going out|thing|with my eyes|visible
When the site crashes, it's not easy to check directly with your eyes, but when it doesn't crash and the concert proceeds continuously until it's sold out, whether in 5 minutes or 10 minutes, you can see the tickets being sold.
빈자리 클릭해서 결제 버튼 눌렀다가, ‘다른 고객님이 이미 선택하신 자리입니다' 하는 안내문이 떠서 다시 자리 선택 화면으로 돌아와 보면 조금 전보다 몇 줄 더 뒤로 밀려나 있거든요.
empty seat|clicking|payment|button|pressed|'another|customer|already|selected|seat'|saying|notice|appearing|again|seat|selection|screen|returning|when I see|a little|than before|several|rows|more|back|pushed back|there
When you click on an empty seat and press the payment button, a message appears saying, 'This seat has already been selected by another customer,' and when you return to the seat selection screen, you find that you've been pushed back a few more rows than before.
무대에서 가까운 맨 앞줄부터, 마치 들불 번지듯 뒤쪽을 향해 예매 가능한 좌석의 한계선이 쭉 밀려 나가는 모양이 보이는데, 우리 티케팅도 원리는 마찬가지예요.
from the stage|close|very|front row|as if|wildfire|spreading|towards the back|facing|reservation|possible|seats|boundary|continuously|pushed|going out|shape|visible|our|ticketing also|principle|is the same
From the very front row closest to the stage, it looks like the limit of available seats is being pushed back towards the back, almost like a wildfire spreading, and our ticketing works on the same principle.
이건 결국 남아 있는 자리 중에서 제일 좋은 자리를, 그러니까 무대에서 제일 가까운 자리를 골라서 결제 화면으로 빠르게 넘어가는 싸움인데, 서버가 다운돼서 눈으로 확인은 못 해도 서버 안 어딘가에서는 분명히 이런 일이 일어나고 있을 거라고요.
this|eventually|remaining|existing|seat|among|best|good|seat|so|from the stage|closest|near|seat|choosing|payment|screen|quickly|moving on|battle but|server|down|with my eyes|confirmation|not|even if|server|inside|somewhere|surely|this|thing|happening|be|for sure
In the end, it's a battle to quickly move to the payment screen by choosing the best available seat among the remaining ones, that is, the seat closest to the stage, but the server is down, so even if I can't confirm it visually, something like this is definitely happening somewhere in the server.
들불 번지듯 자리가 뒤로 밀려 나오는 현상이요.
wildfire|spreading like|seats|back|pushed|coming out|phenomenon
It's a phenomenon where seats are pushed back like a spreading wildfire.
이 선을 파악하는 게 중요해요.
this|line|understanding|thing|is important
It's important to grasp this line.
현재 시점에서 예매 가능한 영역의 경계선이 어디까지 밀려와 있는지.
current|at the point|reservation|possible|area|boundary|how far|pushed|is
Where the boundary of the area available for booking has been pushed to at the current moment.
이건 별다른 요령이 있는 게 아니고, 사실 누구나 파악할 수 있는 거거든요.
this|special|trick|existing|thing|not|fact|anyone|understand|possibility|existing|thing
This doesn't require any special skills; in fact, anyone can understand it.
그런데 열성팬들은 이걸 못 해요.” “왜요?” “꼭 실제 경계선보다 살짝 앞쪽을 클릭하거든요.
but|enthusiastic fans|this|not|do|why|surely|actual|boundary line than|slightly|front side|click
But enthusiastic fans can't do this.” “Why not?” “They always click just slightly in front of the actual boundary.
한 칸이라도 더 앞에서 보려고.” “나는 안 그런데.
one|space even|more|in front|to see|I|not|but
They want to see just one more step ahead.” “I don't do that.
안전하게 하려고 하는 건데요.” “본인은 안 그렇다고 생각하는데, 현재 그 불길이 어디까지 와 있는지 파악하는 순간에 이미 객관적인 판단이 안 되는 거예요.
safely|to do|doing|thing|oneself|not|think so|think|currently|that|fire|how far|to|existing|understanding|moment|already|objective|judgment|not|becoming|thing
It's about trying to be safe.” “You may not think so, but at the moment you try to assess how far that fire has spread, you are already unable to make an objective judgment.
마음이 앞쪽으로 쏠려 있으니까요.
my heart|forward|leaning|is because
Because the mind is leaning forward.
이쯤이면 안전하겠지 생각하는 거기가 사실은, 1초 전에는 안전했을지 모르지만 지금은 이미 확률이 낮아진 지점일 수 있거든요.
around here|it should be safe|thinking|that place|actually|1 second|before|might have been safe|but|now|already|probability|decreased|point|possibility|is
The place where you think it should be safe at this point may have been safe a second ago, but now it could be a point where the probability has already decreased.
그 한 칸 차이가 승패를 가르니까.
that|one|space|difference|win or lose|determines
That one space difference determines victory or defeat.
빈자리가 보였는데 내가 클릭해 들어가는 순간, 다른 누군가가 딱 0.001초쯤 빨리 클릭해 버린 거죠.
empty spot|I saw|I|click|entering|moment|someone else|someone|exactly|about 0001 seconds|faster|clicked|gave up|up
I saw an empty spot, but the moment I clicked to enter, someone else clicked just about 0.001 seconds faster.
그러면 거의 손에 들어왔다가 놓쳤다는 생각에 정신이 혼미해지는데, 게다가 그런 일을 한 번만 하는 게 아니라 두 번 세 번 자꾸 반복하는 거예요.
then|almost|in hand|came in|missed|thought|mind|becomes confused|moreover|such|work|one|only once|doing|thing|not|two|times|three|times|repeatedly|repeating|thing
Then, the thought that I almost had it in my hands but lost it makes my mind go hazy, and on top of that, it's not just a one-time thing; it keeps happening over and over again.
결과는 역시 실패일 거고, 그때부터 사기가 꺾이는 거예요.
the result|also|failure|thing|from that time|morale|declines|thing
The result will surely be failure, and from that point on, my spirits are crushed.
실수가 나오고 비합리적인 선택이 많아지고, 그럼 그냥 그날은 루저가 되는 거죠.”
mistakes|coming out|irrational|choices|increasing|then|just|that day|loser|becoming|thing
Mistakes come out, and there are many irrational choices, and then I just become a loser for that day.
나는 대답 대신 고개를 끄덕였다.
I|answer|instead|head|nodded
Instead of answering, I nodded my head.
딱 내 이야기를 하는 것 같아서였다.
exactly|my|story|doing|thing|seemed
It felt like it was exactly my story.
비합리적인 선택, 팬이니까 하게 되는 빤한 실책, 좋은 자리에 욕심을 내지 않고 그냥 티켓을 구하는 것 자체를 목표로 삼는 사람은 좀처럼 범하지 않는다는 바보 같은 실수들.
irrational|choice|because I'm a fan|do|end up|obvious|mistake|good|position|greed|not having|without|just|ticket|getting|thing|itself|goal|making|person|rarely|commit|not|foolish|like|mistakes
Irrational choices, obvious mistakes made because one is a fan, and the foolish mistakes that people who aim simply to get a ticket without being greedy for a good seat rarely make.
어쩐지 기분이 나쁘지 않았다.
no wonder|feeling|not bad|wasn't
For some reason, I didn't feel bad.
이미 눈이 객관성을 잃어버려서 남들은 다 파악할 수 있는 단순한 패턴을 몇 번을 반복해도 또 파악하지 못하게 되어 있다는 그 말이.
already|eyes|objectivity|lost|others|all|grasp|able|to|simple|pattern|few|times|even if repeated|again|grasp|unable|become|that|that|saying
The saying that my eyes have already lost their objectivity, so even if I repeat a simple pattern that everyone else can grasp several times, I still won't be able to grasp it.
어떻게 보면 참 어리석은 선택이지만 그 어리석음이 곧 팬심 그 자체라는 말이.
how|to see|really|foolish|choice but|that|foolishness|soon|fan spirit|that|itself|saying
In a way, it's a foolish choice, but that foolishness is exactly what being a fan is all about.
“그럼 어떻게 해야 되는 거죠?
then|how|should|be|right
"So what should I do then?"
어떻게 해야 티케팅에 성공할 수 있나요?”
how|should|ticketing|successful|possibility|is there
"How can I succeed in getting tickets?"
9시 45분.
9 o'clock|45 minutes
9:45.
긴장감이 서서히 고조되어 갔다.
the tension|slowly|rising|went
The tension gradually escalated.
혹시라도 사이트가 조금 일찍 열릴지도 모르는 일이었으므로, 누군가 한 명은 컴퓨터 앞에 붙어서 최소한 10초 간격으로 계속해서 새로 고침을 하고 있어야 했다.
just in case|site|a little|early|might open|unknown|thing|someone|one|person|computer|in front of|sitting|at least|10 seconds|interval|continuously|refresh|refreshing|doing|should be|did
Since it was possible that the site might open a little early, at least one person had to stay in front of the computer and refresh the page every 10 seconds.
엘레나 언니가 그 역할을 하고 있는 사이, 스페인 아가씨가 그날의 전략목표를 다시 한 번 확인해 주었다.
Elena|older sister|that|role|doing|in|between|Spanish|girl|that day's|strategic goal|again|one|time|confirming|gave
While Elena was fulfilling that role, the Spanish girl confirmed the strategic objectives for the day once again.
팬이면 당연히 하게 된다는 그 비합리적인 선택을 우회할 수 있는 방법.
if you are a fan|naturally|do|would|that|irrational|choice|bypass|possibility|existing|method
A way to circumvent the irrational choice that fans naturally make.
그것은 분업이었다.
it was|division of labor
It was division of labor.
제1목표, 제2목표, 제3목표.
First objective, second objective, third objective.
전략 목표를 세 등급으로 확실히 구분해서 세 사람이 각자 자기가 맡은 구역만 확실하게 책임지는 전략이었다.
strategy|goals|three|by grade|clearly|distinguishing|three|people|each|themselves|assigned|area only|surely|responsible for|strategy
It was a strategy where strategic goals were clearly divided into three levels, and each of the three people was responsible only for their assigned area.
“…… 아시겠죠?
you know
"... You understand, right?"
상황이 상황이고 하니, VIP석은 노리지 않습니다.
the situation|being the situation|so|VIP seats|targeting|do not
Given the situation, we are not aiming for the VIP seats.
제1전략목표는 포기하고 셋이서 제2, 제3전략목표만 확실하게 노린다고 보시면 돼요.
||giving up|the three of us||||surely|targeting|you see|it is okay
You can consider that we are giving up on the first strategic goal and are only firmly aiming for the second and third strategic goals.
두 분은 제3목표를 노리세요.
two|people|||target
You two should aim for the third goal.
앞쪽 자리 넘보지 마시고 뒤쪽에서부터 확실하게.
front|seat|encroach|do not|from the back|surely
Don't covet the front seats, but start from the back and be sure.
생각보다 훨씬 뒤쪽을 노리셔야 돼요.
than I thought|much|towards the back|you should aim|do
You need to aim much further back than you think.
아예 맨 뒤에서부터 경쟁해 들어오는 사람들도 많으니까 너무 뒤쪽 말고 적당히, 안전을 우선으로.
completely|very|from the back|competing|coming in|people also|because there are many|too|back|not|moderately|safety|as a priority
There are many people who compete from the very back, so not too far back, but moderately, prioritizing safety.
딱 보시면 감으로 아실 거예요.
exactly|you see|by intuition|you will know|it will be
You'll know it by instinct when you see it.
이 정도, 아시겠죠?
this|level|you understand right
About this much, you understand, right?
이 정도 위치를 노리시는데, 상황 봐서 최대한 안전하게 선택하세요.
this|degree|position|aiming for|situation|depending on|as much as possible|safely|choose
If you're aiming for this position, choose as safely as possible based on the situation.
그리고 제2목표는 제가 노릴게요.
and|||I|will aim for
And I'll aim for the second target.
자리 배분에 관해서는 나중에 다시 이야기하자고요.
seat|distribution|regarding|later|again|let's talk
Let's talk about the seating arrangement later.
저는 어차피 자리에는 큰 욕심 없으니까.
I|anyway|for the seat|big|desire|don't have
I don't have much desire for a seat anyway.
오케이?”
okay
Okay?
다시 고개를 끄덕였다.
again|head|nodded
I nodded again.
새삼스럽게, 자꾸 고개를 끄덕이고만 있다는 생각이 들었다.
suddenly|repeatedly|head|just nodding|there is|thought|came to me
Suddenly, I felt like I was just nodding my head repeatedly.
분업, 전략목표, 동료에 대한 신뢰.
division of labor|strategic goal|about colleagues|regarding|trust
Division of labor, strategic goals, trust in colleagues.
나는 내가 비로소 그 핵잠수함의 일원이 된 것 같은 생각이 들었다.
I|I|at last|that|nuclear submarine|member|became|thing|like|thought|felt
I felt as if I had finally become a member of that nuclear submarine.
같은 배를 탄 공동운명체의 일원이 된 느낌.
same|boat|riding|shared destiny|member|became|feeling
A feeling of being part of a shared destiny on the same ship.
느슨하기만 했던 내 잠수함 생활에 난데없이 팽팽한 긴장감이 감돌았다.
only felt loose|had been|my|submarine|life|suddenly|taut|tension|lingered
Suddenly, a tense atmosphere enveloped my previously relaxed submarine life.
오랜만에 되살아난 야생의 감각, 진짜 승부가 펼쳐지는 일촉즉발의 상황.
after a long time|revived|wild|senses|real|competition|unfolding|imminent|situation
The wild senses that had been dormant for a long time were revived, in a situation where a real showdown was about to unfold.
그 한가운데에 내가 있었다.
that|in the middle|I|was
I was right in the middle of it.
비록 최상위 포식자는 아니었을지 몰라도.
although|top|predator|might not have been|regardless
Even if I wasn't the top predator.
긴장감이 어느새 온몸을 결박해 들어왔다.
tension|before I knew it|my whole body|binding|came in
The tension had gradually bound my whole body.
다리가 됐든 손끝이 됐든, 어딘가 한 군데는 계속해서 일정한 리듬을 반복하고 있었다.
legs|or|fingertips|or|somewhere|one|place|continuously|steady|rhythm|repeating|was
Whether it was my legs or fingertips, one part was continuously repeating a steady rhythm.
점점 빨라지기만 하는 심장박동과는 전혀 다른 리듬.
gradually|only speeding up|doing|heartbeats|completely|different|rhythm
A rhythm completely different from the increasingly rapid heartbeat.
내 안에서 퍼져 나가는 고삐 풀린 박자를 가리기 위해, 내 안에서 비롯되지 않은 규칙적인 박자를 나도 모르는 새 어디선가 끌어온 듯한 느낌.
my|inside|spreading|going out|reins|loosened|beat|to hide|in order to|my|inside|originating|not|regular|beat|I also|not knowing|without|from somewhere|brought|like|feeling
To cover up the wild tempo spreading within me, I felt as if I had unconsciously drawn a regular beat from somewhere that did not originate from within me.
작전장교 아가씨의 목소리가 조금씩 떨리는 게 느껴졌다.
operations officer|young lady's|voice|little by little|trembling|thing|was felt
I could feel the voice of the operations officer girl trembling slightly.
9시 52분.
9 o'clock|52 minutes
9:52.
서서히 말수를 줄여야 할 시간.
slowly|number of words|should reduce|to|time
It's time to gradually reduce the number of words.
엘레나 언니가 콧노래를 흥얼거리기 시작했다.
Elena|older sister|humming|humming|started
Sister Elena started to hum a tune.
혹등고래들의 노래였다.
of the humpback whales|song
It was the song of the humpback whales.
나도 몇 소절을 따라 부르다가 다시 잠자코 모니터를 응시했다.
I also|a few|verses|along|singing|again|silently|monitor|stared
I also sang a few lines before silently staring at the monitor again.
클릭, 클릭, 그리고 또 클릭.
click||and|again|
Click, click, and then click again.
그렇게 시간이 흘렀다.
like that|time|passed
And so time passed.
9시 58분.
9 o'clock|58 minutes
9:58.
이제 곧 운명을 걸어야 할 시간.
now|soon|fate|to walk|must|time
It is now time to stake my fate.
마우스 클릭하는 소리만이 조용한 인터넷 카페를 가득 채우고 있었다.
mouse|clicking|sound only|quiet|internet|cafe|full|filling|was
The sound of mouse clicks filled the quiet internet cafe.
다시 9시 59분으로 숫자가 바뀌고, 10초, 20초, 마음속 초침이 잰걸음으로 시간을 재촉했다.
again|9 o'clock|to 59 minutes|number|changing|10 seconds|20 seconds|in my mind|second hand|with quick steps|time|urged
The numbers changed back to 9:59, and the seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, the second hand in my heart urged time forward.
그리고 마침내 10시 정각.
and|finally|10 o'clock|sharp
And finally, at exactly 10 o'clock.
“시작됐어.”
it has started
"It's started."
엘레나 언니의 목소리가 들렸다.
Elena|sister's|voice|was heard
I heard Elena's voice.
나는 첫 번째 클릭을 했다.
I|||click|did
I made the first click.
사방이 온통 고요해지고, 인터넷 연결속도가 갑자기 느려졌다.
everywhere|completely|became quiet|internet|connection speed|suddenly|slowed down
Everything became completely quiet, and the internet connection speed suddenly slowed down.
예상대로였다.
it was as expected
It was as expected.
당황할 필요는 전혀 없었다.
to be flustered|need|at all|didn't exist
There was no need to be flustered.
하지만 화면 넘어가는 속도가 한없이 느려지자 초조한 생각이 머릿속을 가득 채웠다.
but|screen|passing|speed|endlessly|slowed down|anxious|thought|in my head|full|filled
However, as the speed of the screen transition slowed down endlessly, anxious thoughts filled my mind.
느릿느릿 천천히.
slowly|slowly
Slowly, slowly.
공연날짜 선택 화면이 간신히 나타났다.
performance date|selection|screen|barely|appeared
The performance date selection screen finally appeared.
어차피 하루뿐인 공연, 날짜를 고르고 시간을 고르는 건 어차피 군더더기에 불과했지만, 미리 대비하고 있었던 우리에게는 나쁘지 않은 절차였다.
anyway|only one day|performance|date|choosing|time|choosing|thing|anyway|unnecessary|it was|in advance|preparing|had been|to us|not bad|not|procedure
After all, it was a performance that would only happen once, so choosing the date and time was just a formality, but for us who had been preparing in advance, it was not a bad procedure.
세상 어딘가, 대비하고 있지 않던 누군가는 그 순간 무슨 동작을 취해야 다음 화면으로 넘어가는지 몰라 한순간이라도 더 머뭇거리게 될 테니까.
world|somewhere|preparing|not|wasn't|someone|that|moment|what|action|should take|next|to screen|going|not knowing|even for a moment|more|hesitating|will|because
Somewhere in the world, someone who was not prepared would hesitate for even a moment, not knowing what action to take to move on to the next screen.
날짜와 시간을 선택한 다음 좌석 선택 아이콘을 클릭했다.
date and|time|selected|after|seat|selection|icon|clicked
After selecting the date and time, I clicked the seat selection icon.
중복클릭이 되지 않게 정확히 딱 한 번.
duplicate clicking|not|so that|exactly|just|one|time
I made sure to click it exactly once to avoid double-clicking.
다시 화면이 느려졌다.
again|the screen|slowed down
The screen became slow again.
작업진행을 알리는 작은 막대기가 천천히 오른쪽으로 옮겨가고 있었다.
the progress of the work|indicating|small|bar|slowly|to the right|moving|was
A small progress bar indicating the task was slowly moving to the right.
튕기지 말고 그대로 조금만 더!
bounce|not|as it is|just a little|more
Don't bounce, just a little more!
간절한 마음으로 모니터를 노려보았다.
desperate|with heart|the monitor|stared at
I stared at the monitor with a desperate heart.
그리고 그 순간, 그 마음이 통했는지 화면이 넘어갔다.
and|that|moment|that|heart|connected|screen|moved on
And at that moment, whether our hearts connected or not, the screen changed.
그러자 눈앞에 공연장 좌석이 펼쳐졌다.
then|in front of me|concert hall|seats|spread out
Then, the seats of the concert hall unfolded before my eyes.
위쪽이 무대 쪽.
above|stage|side
The upper side was towards the stage.
이미 불길이 번져오기 시작한 모양인지 무대 주변 좌석 수백 개가 이미 하얀색으로 표시되어 있었다.
already|flames|spreading|started|seeming|stage|surrounding|seats|hundreds|of|already|white|marked|were
It seemed that the flames had already begun to spread, as hundreds of seats around the stage were already marked in white.
누군가 이미 좌석을 선택한 다음 결제 화면으로 넘어가 버린 좌석이라는 의미였다.
someone|already|seat|selected|after|payment|screen|moving on|abandoned|seat|meant
It meant that someone had already selected the seat and moved on to the payment screen.
아직 아무도 선택하지 않은 보라색, 녹색, 노란색 구역에도 이미 가운데부터 크게 구멍이 뚫려 있었다.
still|no one|selected|not|purple|green|yellow|area|already|from the middle|large|hole|drilled|was
Even in the purple, green, and yellow areas where no one had chosen yet, there were already large holes starting from the center.
‘늦었어!'
'You're late'
'It's too late!'
한순간 그런 생각이 뇌리를 스쳤다.
for a moment|such|thought|my mind|crossed
In that moment, such a thought crossed my mind.
그러나 다음 순간, 한결 침착해진 내 눈에 다른 광경이 보였다.
but|next|moment|much more|calm|my|in eyes|different|scene|appeared
However, in the next moment, a different scene appeared before my now calmer eyes.
‘아니야, 승부는 이제부터야.
no|match|from now on
'No, the real competition starts now.
이 정도면 생각보다 많이 남은 거야!'
this|much|than I thought|a lot|remaining|thing
This is more than I expected to have left!'
머릿속에 공연장 풍경이 펼쳐졌다.
in my head|concert hall|scenery|unfolded
The scenery of the performance hall unfolded in my mind.
그 넓은 공연장 한가운데에 두 팔을 벌리고 서 있는 듯한 착각이 들었다.
the|wide|concert hall|in the middle|two|arms|spreading|standing|being|like|illusion|felt
I felt as if I were standing in the middle of that vast auditorium with my arms wide open.
어디든 달려가 앉기만 하면 될 것 같은, 손에 잡힐 듯 가까이 다가와 있는 좌석들.
anywhere|running|just sitting|if|be|thing|like|in hand|caught|like|close|coming|being|seats
The seats seemed so close, as if I could just run anywhere and sit down.
모험을 걸 만한 광경이었다.
adventure|take|worth|sight
It was a sight worth taking a risk for.
그래도 무리는 하지 않았다.
still|overdoing|do|not
Still, I didn't overdo it.
부채꼴 모양으로 번져 가는, 하얀색 좌석과 색깔 있는 좌석들 사이의 예리한 경계선.
fan-shaped|in shape|spreading|going|white|seats and|colored|existing|seats|between|sharp|boundary line
A sharp boundary between the white seats and the colored seats, spreading in a fan shape.
그 선이 보였다.
that|line|was visible
I could see the line.
그리고 나에게 주어진 임무대로 그 선 훨씬 뒤쪽에 있는 좌석 두 개를 클릭했다.
and|to me|given|according to mission|that|line|much|behind|existing|seat|two|pieces|clicked
And according to the mission given to me, I clicked on two seats that were much further back from that line.

I hovered the mouse over the last few remaining green seats.
표적이 몇 개밖에 남지 않았다는 건 아직 좌석을 차지하지 못한 사람 모두가 그 몇 개를 향해 달려들 거라는 뜻이었다.

좌석이 하얀색으로 변해 있다고 예매가 끝난 건 아니라는 뜻이에요.
seat|white|changed|is|reservation|finished|thing|not|means

누군가는 결제 중간에 문제가 생겨서 다시 좌석 밖으로 튕겨 나가게 돼 있거든요.” “끔찍하네요.” “끔찍하죠.

갑자기 한숨이 터져 나왔다.

동시에 나지막한 목소리로 이런 말이 함께 튀어나왔다.

모두가 예상했던 것처럼, 그런 걸 왜 묻느냐는 질문이 되돌아왔다.

As everyone expected, the question of why I was asking that came back.

I replied that I also didn't understand why I was being asked to inquire about that.
콘서트도, 티케팅도, 제4의 팬도, 그리고 우리의 기막힌 거래도, 그 어떤 이야기도 꺼내지 않았다.
concert|ticketing|||fan|and|our|amazing|deal|that|any|story|brought up|did not

그렇게 아무렇지도 않게 잠수함으로 돌아왔다.
so|without a care|not|by submarine|returned
I returned in a submarine as if nothing was wrong.
등줄기가 온통 땀에 젖은 데다, 갑자기 긴장이 풀린 탓에 온몸이 기진맥진 녹초가 되었지만, 그런 내색은 전혀 하지 않았다.
my back|completely|in sweat|soaked|and|suddenly|tension|released|due to|my whole body|exhausted|worn out|became but|such|expression|at all|do|not
My back was completely soaked with sweat, and suddenly relaxed, my whole body was exhausted and worn out, but I didn't show any signs of it at all.

That day, we all got four tickets.
내가 한 장, 우리 에이스인 작전장교 아가씨가 두 장, 거의 10시 30분까지 매달린 끝에 엘레나 언니가 겨우겨우 한 장.
I|one|round|our|ace|operations officer|lady|two|rounds|almost|10 o'clock|until 30 minutes|hanging on|in the end|Elena|older sister|barely|one|round
I did one, our ace, the operations officer girl did two, and after hanging on until almost 10:30, Elena unni barely managed to do one.
엘레나 언니는 그날 내내 물도 한 잔 제대로 못 마실 정도로 완전히 지쳐 있었다.
Elena|older sister|that day|all day|water|one|glass|properly|not|drink|to the extent|completely|exhausted|was
Elena unni was completely exhausted, to the point where she couldn't even drink a glass of water all day.

I feel like I've aged five years in just one hour."
다시 잠수함에 실려 기지에 도착할 때까지 엘레나 언니는 내내 몸살을 앓았다.

Sister Elena suffered from a fever the whole time until we arrived at the base, carried back on the submarine.
물론 표정은 내내 밝아 보였다.

our|Spanish|operations officer|young lady|never again|our|room|came to visit|did not
Our Spanish operations officer never came back to our room again.
직접 대화를 나눠 본 건 아니지만, 아마도 그날 우리가 저지른 일을 영원히 비밀로 해두고 싶어 하는 눈치였다.
directly|conversation|sharing|seen|thing|but not|probably|that day|we|committed|act|forever|secret|keeping|wanting|to|seemed
I didn't have a direct conversation with her, but it seemed like she wanted to keep the things we did that day a secret forever.
그래도 티켓 배분은 어렵지 않았다.
still|ticket|distribution|not difficult|was not
Still, the ticket distribution was not difficult.
엘레나 언니와 나는 어차피 각자 본인이 산 티켓을 챙기면 되는 거였고, 스페인 아가씨가 산 두 장의 티켓은 본인과 정체를 알 수 없는 결정적 조력자에게 각각 한 장씩 돌아가면 그만이었다.
Elena|and my older sister|I|anyway|each|oneself|bought|ticket|take|it would be|thing|Spanish|lady|bought|two|of|tickets|herself|identity|know|possibility|not|decisive|to the helper|each|one|piece|if it goes back|that was enough
Elena and I just had to take care of the tickets we bought ourselves, and the two tickets bought by the Spanish lady would simply go one each to her and an unknown crucial accomplice.
그리고 그 일은 엘레나 언니나 나로서는 더 이상 궁금해할 필요가 없는 일이었다.
and|that|matter|Elena|or my older sister|for me|more|beyond|to be curious about|necessity|not|was
And that was something that neither Elena nor I needed to be curious about anymore.
말하자면 그건, 군인들이 알아서 할 일이었으니까.
to put it simply|that|soldiers|on their own|do|it was
In other words, it was something the soldiers would take care of.
워낙 비밀스러운 작전이었기 때문에 엘레나 언니와 나는 기지로 돌아가는 내내 환호성을 최대한 아껴야 했다.
so much|secret|operation was|because|Elena|with sister|I|to base|returning|throughout|cheers|as much as possible|had to save|did
Because it was such a secretive operation, Elena and I had to keep our cheers to a minimum while returning to the base.
그래서 우리는 우리끼리 있을 때만 축가를 불렀다.
so|we|among ourselves|being|only when|wedding song|sang
So we only sang our celebratory songs when we were alone.
그것도 사람 노래가 아니라 고래들의 노래로 대신해서 불러야 했다.
that too|human|song|not|of whales|song|instead|had to sing|did
And instead of human songs, we had to sing in the form of whale songs.
바다는 여전히 시끄러웠고, 고래들은 끈질기게 잠수함을 따라왔다.
the sea|still|was noisy|whales|persistently|submarine|followed
The sea was still noisy, and the whales persistently followed the submarine.
나도 잘 아는 노래가 온 바다에 울려 퍼졌는데, 그 사이에는 우리 두 사람의 목소리도 끼어 있었다.
I also|well|knowing|song|whole|in the sea|echoing|spread|that|between|our|two|person's|voice also|mixed|was
A song I know well was echoing across the entire sea, and in between, our two voices were mixed in.
그 노래에 한껏 취해 있다가, 나는 문득 철이 들듯 그런 생각이 들었다.
that|song|fully|intoxicated|being|I|suddenly|sense|coming|such|thought|came
Lost in the song, I suddenly had a thought as if I had come to my senses.
‘아, 이건 또 뭐하는 짓일까.
ah|this|again|what are|doing
‘Ah, what on earth am I doing?
내가 왜 이 시간에 여기에 앉아서 고래 노래 따위를 따라 부르고 있는 거지?
I|why|this|time|here|sitting|whale|song|like|following|singing|being|thing
Why am I sitting here at this time, singing along to whale songs?
하지만 또 한편으로 이런 생각도 들었다.
but|again|on the other hand|this|thought|came to me
But on the other hand, I also thought this.
타겟이 있는 삶.
target|having|life
A life with a target.
그건 정말로 남들이 생각하는 것만큼 그렇게 쓸데없이 무모하기만 한 걸까.
that|really|others|thinking|as much as|so|uselessly|reckless|only|might be
Is it really as recklessly pointless as others think?
누군가는 말한다.
someone|says
Some say.
그렇게 힘들게 티켓을 구해 봐야, 그래서 결국 콘서트에 가봐야, 그냥 그 자리를 가득 메운 수천 명 팬 중 하나밖에 더 되는 거냐고.
that way|with difficulty|ticket|find|should|so|eventually|concert|should go|just|that|seat|full|filled|thousands|people|fan|among|only one|more|becoming|is it
After going through so much trouble to get a ticket, and finally going to the concert, am I just going to be one of the thousands of fans filling that space?
심지어 어느 팬은 이렇게도 말했다.
even|some|fan|like this|said
In fact, one fan even said this.
가수가 자기를 봤다고 주장하는 팬들은 언제나 등장하기 마련이지만, 사실 그 가수는 그런 거 안 본다고.
singer|him/her|saw|claiming|fans|always|appearing|should|in fact|that|singer|such|thing|not|sees
There are always fans who claim that the singer saw them, but in reality, the singer doesn't notice those things.
새우젓 먹을 때 새우랑 눈 마주치는 사람이 어디 있냐고.
shrimp sauce|eating|when|shrimp|eye|meeting||where|is
Who makes eye contact with a shrimp when eating shrimp paste?
하지만 그들도 이건 몰랐을 것이다.
but|they too|this|didn't know|thing
But they probably didn't know this.
그 아무렇지도 않은 새우젓 몇 마리가 고래보다 더 큰 핵잠수함 한 대를 완전히 바보로 만들기도 한다는 걸.
that|without care|not|shrimp paste|few|fish|than whale|more|big|nuclear submarine|one|unit|completely|into a fool|make|that|thing
That a few seemingly insignificant shrimp can completely outsmart a nuclear submarine larger than a whale.
항해 마지막 날 저녁에는, 언제나 그렇듯 거의 모든 승무원이 식당에 모여 그동안 아껴 두었던 비장의 식재료들을 털어 마지막 만찬을 떠들썩하게 즐겼다.
sailing|last|day|in the evening|always|as usual|almost|all|crew members|in the dining room|gathered|during that time|saved|kept|secret|ingredients|using up|last|dinner|boisterously|enjoyed
On the last evening of the voyage, as always, almost all the crew gathered in the dining room to enjoy a lively final feast with the secret ingredients they had been saving.
항해 일정이 예상보다 훨씬 짧아져서 그 어느 때보다도 풍족한 만찬이었다.
sailing|schedule|than expected|much|shortened|that|any|time|abundant|was dinner
The voyage schedule was much shorter than expected, making it a more abundant feast than ever.
그 식사 중간에 호기심을 참지 못한 엘레나 언니가 식당 대형 모니터에 JYJ 멤버 셋이 함께 출연한 광고를 띄웠는데, 어리둥절한 표정으로 그 광고를 바라보는 130여 명의 사람들 중에는 얼굴에 숨길 수 없는 미소를 떠올리며 서로를 향해 알 듯 말 듯한 신호를 흘리고 있는 네 명의 열성팬도 포함되어 있었다.
the|meal|in the middle|curiosity|unable to|not|Elena|older sister|restaurant|large|on the monitor|JYJ|members|three|together|appeared in|advertisement|displayed|bewildered|with expression|that|advertisement|looking at|about 130|people|people|among|on their face|hiding|able|not|smile|recalling|each other|towards|knowing|like|saying|like|signal|giving off|being|four|people|enthusiastic fans|included|were
During the meal, Elena couldn't contain her curiosity and displayed an advertisement featuring the three members of JYJ on the restaurant's large monitor. Among the approximately 130 people looking at the ad with puzzled expressions, there were four enthusiastic fans exchanging knowing glances with smiles that they couldn't hide.
나, 엘레나 언니, 작전장교 아가씨, 그리고 그날에야 비로소 정체를 드러낸 우리의 든든한 고위층 조력자.
I|Elena|older sister|operations officer|young lady|and|that day|finally|identity|revealed|our|reliable|high-ranking|supporter
Me, Elena, the operations officer lady, and our reliable high-ranking supporter who finally revealed her identity that day.
나는 남들이 못 알아볼 정도로 고개를 살짝 숙여 부함장의 결단에 경의를 표했다.
I|others|not|recognize|to the extent|head|slightly|lowered|the vice captain's|decision|respect|expressed
I slightly lowered my head so that others wouldn't notice, paying my respects to the deputy captain's decision.
‘부함장이었다니!
'it was the vice captain
'So it was the deputy captain!
아무튼 참 미친 잠수함이야.'
anyway|really|crazy|submarine
Anyway, it's a really crazy submarine.
이상한 해피엔딩
strange|happy ending
A strange happy ending.
임무가 끝나고, 우리는 모두 무사히 육지로 돌아갔다.
mission|after it ended|we|all|safely|to land|returned
After the mission was over, we all returned safely to land.
각자의 나라로, 혹은 저마다의 위치로.
each|to country|or|each|to position
To our respective countries, or to each of our own places.
세상은 한동안 평화로웠다.
The world was peaceful for a while.
핵잠수함이 미사일을 발사할 일은 당분간 일어날 것 같지 않았고, 그에 따라 내 수상한 연구도 차질 없이 착착 진행되어 갔다.
It seemed unlikely that a nuclear submarine would launch a missile anytime soon, and accordingly, my suspicious research was progressing smoothly without any setbacks.
엘레나 언니는 정말로 고래에게 노래를 가르치기 시작했는데, 성공 여부를 말하기에는 아직 시간이 좀 더 필요할 것 같았다.
Sister Elena really started teaching the whale to sing, but it seemed like it would take a bit more time to determine the success of it.
무엇보다 놀라운 것은 우리 스페인 작전장교 언니의 초고속 승진에 관한 이야기인데, 아쉽게도 이 이야기는 전부 비밀로 묶여버려서 더는 할 말이 남아 있지 않다.
Above all, the most surprising thing was the story about our Spanish operations officer sister's rapid promotion, but unfortunately, this story has been completely sealed in secrecy, so there is nothing more to say.
그리고 물론 말할 필요도 없이, 그해 독일 콘서트는 대단히 훌륭했다.
and|of course|to speak|need|without|that year|Germany|concert|very|was excellent
And of course, it goes without saying that the concert in Germany that year was absolutely wonderful.
