Grammar notes (2)
-듯이 = as if / like
숨죽여 먹잇감을 사냥하듯이

Pattern: [stem] + ドゥシ + [verb]
Example: 짐승처럼 사랑하다 (love like a beast)
어차피 = anyway / in either case
어차피 너와 나는 love or hate
어차피 eliminates the middle ground: love or hate, no in-between.
Pattern: [noun] + or + [noun] + アチャピ
Example: 어차피 결과는 같아 (the result is the same anyway)
