《A Silent Lover》26. Korean Dictionary
Advertisement
Jaehyun: In this specific case, Jae means wealthy and Hyun means person of virtue. I made this up for my own purposes so I'm not sure if anyone has this name in reality with those particular meanings. Anyways I liked it lol.
Eomma: It's sometimes spelled differently through Romanization, but Eomma means mom in a casual sense
Bitna: Bitna or Binna means light and it comes from Bitnaneun which means to shine. Fans of Shinee might catch the reference but here I'm using it to refer back to Starlights and how Leo might see a woman and reference his fans... Sorry I'm thinking too much lol
Unnie: Literally means older sister but used by younger women towards older women. It's still respectful but is usually used when two parties are close.
-yah/-ah: a suffix added to someone's name that shows affection
Hyung: Like Unnie but said by boys to other older males. In Leo's case, he and N are the same age but N's birthday is before his, so technically he is older. In real life they don't seem to use it much, so I might not either... we'll see lol(update I didn't)
Noona: means older sister; said by younger boys to older girls
Tteokboki: popular Korean snack made from rice cake, fish cake, and sweet red chili sauce
Ahjussi: term for a middle-aged man; although Taekwoon isn't middle aged, he's much older than Jaehyun, and can still be used since he's a stranger
Ne: Yes
Samchon: means uncle, but can be used to address an older male who isn't family either, a little more familiar than Ahjussi
Kunde: a shortened form of keureonde, meaning but/ and
Bureopta: means "I'm jealous", but in a playful way
Joah: means great or good
Pororo: A Korean cartoon character
Sem: short for seonsaengnim, meaning teacher and usually shortened by the students

Chogiyo: It literally means "that place" or "over there", and is close to the English phrase "Excuse me" in this context.
Mianheyo: I'm sorry, not too formal but still polite
Eottae: literally means "how is it?"
Changpeiyo: I'm embarrassed/ It's embarrassing
Heol: Literally, "what the-"

Anieyo: Slightly different from Aniyo, it means "Not at all" mostly used interchangeably or when someone thanks you
Kumane: Stop it
Gyeolhun haejullae?: Will you marry me/ Literally, "Want to get married?" This is probably not what a person would say if they were asking someone to marry them, they would be more formal, but I think this is more natural and based off of Leo's personality, he would be more likely to be informal.

Romance - plus Judgemental Powers? Completed
Blue was a red headed boy who desperately wanted a girlfriend. So he asked the class beauty to walk home with him. She very nicely refused him. So he asked another girl in the same class, one with an average rating in the social status ranking. She also refused him. So, still desperate, he thinks – “I’m probably at the bottom of the ranking for boys in this class, so how about I ask the girl who is also at the lowest ranking?” The girl’s name was Pink. She said yes. Gulp. “What do I do now?” was his reaction. Well, obviously, have a romance. And, along the way, they get one hell of a lot more than they bargained for. Like, for example, supernatural Judgemental Powers. How did they get those? And that was only the start. The two most insignificant students in their class become famous. Not just in their class or even in their school, but to the population at large. They end up breaking and making the top politicians and rulers of their country. But finally, of course, they get what they wanted. A committed relationship. This is an Esmeralda the Angel of Death story. It follows on from my previous novel “Maybe it would have been a good idea not to wish for a harem?”, however it is a totally separate story with only a minimal overlap in the characters. There is no need to read the first story to enjoy this one. Although you just might enjoy the first story also… This story has multiple characters and multiple Points of View. Every POV change is clearly marked with a new header. Inside each POV section, the POV character’s thoughts are in italics. This story has about 105,000 words (about 380 RoyalRoad pages). It is fully written and proof read (the poor man’s proof read using Word). It has 25 chapters, and will be published at the rate of roughly one chapter per day.
