gwaen-hi ul-jeok-haet-deon day
eo-neu-saen-ga nae gyeo-te
mi-so jit-neun neo
A day that felt gloomy
Suddenly by my side
You smile at me
geon-naen choe-ae a-i-seu-ti
meok-gu-reu-mi geot-hin face
like it’s sunshine, this time
You offered my favorite iced tea
The clouds clear from my face
Like it’s sunshine, this time
nae nu-ne-man bo-i-neun geol
eo-mu jo-a eo-jjeom ha-na-ha-na
neol al-myeon al-su-rok mal-i-ya
Only I can see it
I like it so much, every little thing
The more I know you, really
dal-kom-han geu smile
sum-gyeo-jin neo-reul mae-il sae-ro bal-gyeon-hae nan
That sweet smile
I discover the hidden you anew every day
wan-byeok-hae so fine
mo-reu-myeon mol-la-do al sa-ra-meun da al-a
Perfect, so fine
Even if you don’t know, those who know, know
iykyk iykyk iykyk
(if you know you know)
(if you know you know)
when you are next to me
mu-pyo-jeong geu dwi-ro sum-gyeo-jin sweetness
mu-sim-hi tuk yu-sim-hi gwan-chal-hae on-jong-il zoom
eong-tung-han haeng-dong-e sim-jang-i kung
eun-geun-seul-jjeok da-jeong-han jeom-eun deom
When you are next to me
Behind that blank face, hidden sweetness
Casually, I observe closely all day, zoom
My heart pounds at your quirky actions
Your subtle kindness is a bonus
al-myeon al-su-rok kkeul-lyeo neo-ran boy
ooo
The more I know you, the more I’m drawn to you, boy
OOoo
u-yeon-hi san-chaek-gil-e man-nan
nan mal-i-ya jeom-jeom ppa-jyeo-deul-eo
neol al-a-ga-myeon gal-su-rok
Met by chance on a walk
I’m falling deeper
The more I get to know you
dal-kom-han geu smile
sum-gyeo-jin neo-reul mae-il sae-ro bal-gyeon-hae nan
That sweet smile
I discover the hidden you anew every day
wan-byeok-hae so fine
mo-reu-myeon mol-la-do al sa-ra-meun da al-a
Perfect, so fine
Even if you don’t know, those who know, know
iykyk iykyk iykyk
(if you know you know)
(if you know you know)
The lyrics beautifully describe the joy of discovering the hidden, warm-hearted side of a crush who initially appears detached or expressionless. Like sunshine clearing away a gloomy, rainy day, the small and seemingly nonchalant gestures of kindness from this person bring a profound comfort and sweet excitement to the narrator. The song captures the thrill of uncovering these secret charms day by day, celebrating a special, unnoticeable bond that yields a shared understanding wrapped in a blossoming affection.
