if you are someone who enjoys aspects of asian culture (kpop, anime, boba, cuisine, etc.), i really hope and ask that you read up on the recent surge in anti asian hate crimes and recent events happening in america, canada, europe, and the rest of the western world. the asian community is truly hurting and is continuously being gaslit by mainstream media into diminishing our experiences, leaving us very much angry and extremely vulnerable. educate yourselves, become allies, please do what you can to support us. overall, don't choose to ignore the racism and xenophobia against us while continuing to enjoy and celebrate the "fun" and "trendy" aspects of our culture.
Hello, this is a Korean story I found that you can read to practice your Korean.
금덩이를 버린 형제
옛날에 두 형제가 있었습니다. 그들은 서로 좋아했습니다. 어느 날 그들은 다리 위를 걷고 있었습니다. 남동생이 물 속에서 금 두 덩이를 찾았습니다. 그가 금 한 덩이를 그의 형에게 주었습니다. 그들이 배를 탔습니다. 남동생이 갑자기 그의 금덩이를 바다 속으로 던졌습니다. 그가 말했습니다, "나는 형의 금을 훔치는 것에 대해서 생각했어. 금이 나를 욕심이 많게 만들었어." 형은 그의 남동생을 자랑스러워했습니다. 그 또한 그의 금을 물 속으로 던졌습니다.

(I learned this Grammer Form from GO! Billy Korean, he explained it in more detail, so if you want to watch his video you can search his name in YouTube and watch his Live Class Abridged or Live Stream Videos.)
테니까 Conjugation: Verb Stem + 을 (when verb stem ends with a consonant) or ㄹ (when it ends with a vowel)
You can also use this Form with Past Tense Verb Stem ( EX: 갔을 테니까)
It's translated to "Because" because of the - 니까 form
Used for making an assumption (I assume..., I think that/so... ")
The "thing" you are assuming will come before - 테니까 > I will do it so don't worry; Don't worry, because I'll do it: 제가 할 테니까 걱정하지 마세요.
텐데 Conjugation: Verb Stem + 을/ㄹ 텐데
Shows Contrast between two sentences
You can also use this Form with the Past Tense Verb Stem (했을 텐데...) ((I) assume he/she did it)
(You can also use 했었을 텐데; it's "double" past tense, so it means had done)
(제가 했었을 텐데: I would have done it...)
It can mean and, but, so..., though
(if I'm not mistaken this contrast comes from the - 는데 Form, this Form is seriously annoying me lol)
Like - 테니까, - 텐데 also shows an assumption > 이제는 너무 늦었을 텐데: I assume it'd be too late now; now I think it'd be too late >많이 추울 텐데 괜찮겠어요? I assume it's gonna be really cold, are you gonna be okay? (춥다 is a ㅂ irregular, so pay attention to its conjugation)
You can use 제가 할 테니까, but using 제가 with 텐데 (제가 할 텐데) will sound awkward
