Grammar notes (4)

-(으)ㄴ 다음(에) = after ~ing

가차 없이 비틀어 논 다음 삼켜 Sip

-ㄴ 다음 is a recipe step: twist first, swallow after — cruelty in procedure form.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄴ 다음에

Example: 씻은 다음 (after washing)

수도 없이 = countless(ly)

수도 없이 견딘 상처 위로 들이부어 실컷

견딘 marks long-survived wounds: not fresh — veterans of many battles.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄴ + [noun]

Example: 이겨 온 (overcome so far)

-아 흘러내리다 = flow down while ~ing

끈적하게 날 타고 흘러내린 Trauma

타고 personifies the trauma: it climbs on its own, like it has legs.

Pattern: [stem] + 아 흐르다

Example: 타고 흐르다 (flow along)

결국 = in the end / eventually

결국엔 녹아 Fade out

녹다 is the truce: whatever pain went in gets churned into something gentler by time.

Pattern: gyeolguge + [verb]

Example: 결국 잊다 (forget in the end)
