Word for word

“You don't notice your clothes getting wet in a drizzle.”

What it means

Small things add up quietly until they become big.

When you'd say it

Checking your bank app after a month of small coffee runs.

Example

하루 커피 한 잔인데 한 달에 십만 원이 넘네. 가랑비에 옷 젖는 줄 몰랐어.One coffee a day came to over 100,000 won this month. The drizzle soaked me.
