TRANSLATION

Have I told you this kind of story before?

In 2003, we completed a few months of probation period, and we finished our first task with ease.
In 2004, we were employees of the month, and achieved many best results, but we couldn’t be satisfied with those alone.

We weren’t able to endure anymore and we started wishing for more things.
In 2005 we branched overseas, and we thought it would be easy like how it was in Korea.
For our first challenge, we recorded our worst results and from then on, our confidence dropped.

A languge we couldn’t even speak,
Everyday, we stayed at the place we were living at and our company
They said it was for our own sake and that that imprisonment was not an imprisonment.

Extreme loneliness, tears, rage; all of these made us united as one.
Even if anything were to happen by chance, we said that we would not leave each other…

While saying that we would only resemble each other’s good side,
We made up our minds and ran off.

Finally, one day, we achieved the best like how we had earnestly wished for.
We each took our handphones and contacted our family and friends.

That day was approaching,
From then on, everything started turning out well.

Selling tens of thousands of records and winning every award, we felt our results.
Even though tears flowed, it felt like they fell gently.

Because compared to any kind of sadness, we were happy.
Till the end, we do not give up and come running.
Strength greater than any other strength.
As expected, because we were one.

You who have already changed (I can’t always stay there.)
I will turn my back on you first (It wasn’t possible to just keep on crying.)
You, who are going further away from me gradually, I will just call your name. (Please fly me far away to that sky)

Running for a while,
Covered by a huge wall beyond imagination
The thought “Has it always been this dark” remained in my head for a while

Such a thing happened once
Business expenses which were increasing, Debts which kept increasing
Something that I couldn’t handle on my own

This is something our boss said to us in the past
If you need anything, just say it, since we will always be family.

Whatever you need, just say it
Those words gave me courage and I made a phone call to ask for a favour

Though I felt something strange, because he was someone I could rely on,
Because they were a family which would be together with us forever,

I gathered the courage to request the favour, but what I received was just a cold rejection.
Though I was very angry with his reply, I held it in and requested for the favour again.

He hung up.

I couldn’t stop the tears which flowed.
I was in a state of confusion over the thought that they weren’t the family that I had believed they were for that period.

When he needed us, we were family, When we needed him, we were strangers.
