Grammar notes (4)

더 더 더 = more and more and more

더 더 더 두근거려

Triple 더 mimics an accelerating heartbeat — repetition as rhythm.

Pattern: 더×3 + [verb]

Example: 점점 더 빨라져 (gets faster and faster)

-지 말고 = don't (and then)

망설이지 말고 네 마음을 더 보여줘

말고 negates, then the next clause guides: stop hesitating, start showing.

Pattern: [stem] + ジ マルゴ + [命令]

Example: 서두르지 말고 천천히 해 (don't rush, take it slow)

-다 보니 놓치다 = lose while -ing

기다리다 놓쳐 날

Compressed conditional: 'keep waiting → lose me.' A teasing warning.

Pattern: [stem] + ダ + [逃す]

Example: 한숨만 쉬다 기회가 가 (keep sighing and the chance is gone)

-에 = on / at (location)

내 두 볼에 red light 번져와

The cheeks become a canvas; blushing painted as a spreading red light.

Pattern: [noun] + エ + 広がる

Example: 얼굴에 웃음이 번져 (a smile spreads over the face)
