저의 손, 발은 아직 펴지지 않았... 기는! (== 저의 손발이 아직 펴지지 않았으리라고 생각하실지 모르지만, 안 그래요) 오그라들기엔 저의 견디는 능력이 생각보다 크더군요. (== 그래서 그 정도 일에 손발이 오그라들지는 않더군요) Without the context, it's hard to tell whether the key expression 손발이 오그라들다/펴지다 is literal or a figure speech. It is most likely the latter, since the hands and feet shrinking is much more rare than having a cringing reaction at something which is expressed by the idiom 손발이 오그라들다. (translated literally) => My hands and feet are still in their shrunken ... not really! => No, they turned out to be much more resilient than I thought to be shrunken. (actual meaning as I understand it) => Am I still frozen up in that bad cringe ... not really! => No, it turns out I had a greater resilience for such things than I originally thought. (== I actually didn't have a cringe at that) The first line is a kind of a double take sentence. It starts out sounding like it will end with 않았어요 or 않았는데 to make a plain statement, but at the last moment it upends the meaning completely by switching to 않았기는 which contradicts what was being said. This kind of word play usually doesn't work in writing, but here they are trying.
