You were at school and had geography when you daydreamed again. The teacher was talking about foreign countries. You listened to it with only half an ear.
~YOUR DAYDREAM~
I saw the seven again. They were singing about their home. Each of them about their own.
“From Seoul to Gangwon, Kyeongsangdo,
Chungcheong to Jeolla
What is he saying (what)
what is he saying (what)
From Seoul to Gangwon, Kyeongsangdo,
Chungcheong to Jeolla
Tell them that we have come (what)
we’re real hot stuff.”
I was surprised that there were so many parts of the country.
“Hello misters,
my hometown is Daegu
So today, I’ll rap in satoori
Let’s play,
not caring about
the other boys and girls
Hello everyone,
oh my, what is this?
Why are you
rapping like that?
Misters and Mrs.’s,
don’t just stand there,
come out and have fun,” the one rapper started.
It was the one who was the angriest in my previous dream. I watched him. So he is from Daegu, I thought. Another one joined him in the middle of the verse. They were clearly bickering about whose hometown was better.
“When it comes to Kyeongsangdo,
the successors of Silla’s Hwarang
keep growing
When it comes to satoori,
Kyeongsangdo is the best
It’s tasty and sounds good,
perfect for our sentiment,” the sassy started again.
The one who joined him before continuing.
Hyung, we have that too – Did you eat?
This bibimbap is the best
I haven’t even started talking yet so
I’m gonna let it all out later,” the rapper whom they nicknamed sunshine disagreed again with him.
I saw the images from his verse. They were fascinating.
I was very curious about food. It looked very delicious.
I became a little hungry.
“Is that the guy? Do you know this phrase?
Kyeongsangdo is bad? Who says!
What are you saying? Kyeongsangdo is all
about sharing, why don’t you come here and
see for yourself?
Forget it! I’m a Daegu guy so I don’t say
things twice
Yes, yes, Kyeongsangdo is the best,
I’ll just give it to you,
we’re not strangers,” the sassy rapper came again back at him.
“What did you just say?
Oh my, your smack talk about Jeolla-do
is making people clam up
But all they need is to eat Heuksando’s
skatefish to clear their minds
So are you okay with that?
I got a child whose in the
eight to ninth month
A champion who weights 20kg,
as big as the watermelon from Mt. Mudeung
You take one look at
it’s clearly a Bangtan
who will make girls cry,” the sunshine opposes once more.
Another image appeared before me.
It was great watching them arguing. They stopped rapping and talked about which one was better. The leader had to join them. He had to join in too. He had something to say about his hometown too.
“Hey you country boys,
I have a Seoul state of mind
I was born in Seoul
so I learned the Seoul language well
although these days,
satoori is highly regarded
Yes, I’ll admit it,
the accents are pretty cool
but as much as
it’s the standard language here,
it’s that much honest
The beginning and end
are clear and organized
as the example of a
well-built Korean language
Only ours goes with English,
y’all never understand it
Okay, I’ll honestly become honest
Kyeongsangdo accents
make guys want to use it,
Jeollado words sound so friendly
Once I start to use it, I get all happy
Why keep fighting,
in the end, it’s all the same Korean
Look up, we are all
looking at the same sky
This may make you cringe a little
but everyone is awesome
We can all communicate
from Moonsan to Marado,” he concludes.
And this is how they made up.
~END OF DAYDREAM~
You woke up. You felt some eyes on you. It was your teacher. Basically, he asked you a question and was waiting for your answer. You were glad your seatmate whispered to you the correct answer. You were red as a tomato when you said it, and your teacher told you to focus on the lesson and stop drooling over whatever you imagined.
