1. 1

   A 서윤아, 아까부터 왜 이렇게 조용해? 스터디 카페에서도 문제집 한 장도 안 넘기더라.

   Seoyuna, akkabuteo wae ireoke joyonghae? Seuteodi kapeeseodo munjejip han jangdo an neomgideora.

   Seoyun, why've you been so quiet? At the study café you didn't turn a single page of your workbook.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 티 났어? 어젯밤에 엄마 아빠가 싸우는 걸 들었어. 아빠가 세종시로 발령이 났대.

   Ti nasseo? Eojetbame eomma appaga ssauneun geol deureosseo. Appaga Sejongsiro ballyeongi natdae.

   Was it obvious? Last night I heard Mom and Dad fighting. Dad's been transferred to Sejong City.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 세종? 그럼 너희 이사 가는 거야? 전학도 가고?

   Sejong? Geureom neohui isa ganeun geoya? Jeonhakdo gago?

   Sejong? So you're moving? Changing schools too?

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 몰라. 그게 문제야. 우리 이사 간다는 얘기를 방문 너머로 들었어. 아무도 나한테 직접 말을 안 해 줬어.

   Molla. Geuge munjeya. Uri isa gandaneun yaegireul bangmun neomeoro deureosseo. Amudo nahante jikjeop mareul an hae jwosseo.

   I don't know. That's the problem. I heard the thing about us moving through my bedroom door. Nobody told me to my face.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 싸운 건 이사 때문이야? 아니면 다른 거?

   Ssaun geon isa ttaemuniya? Animyeon dareun geo?

   Were they fighting about the move? Or something else?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 엄마는 서울에서 일을 계속하고 싶어 하고, 아빠는 가족이 떨어져 사는 건 싫대. 둘 다 맞는 말이라서 더 답답해.

   Eommaneun Seoureseo ireul gyesokago sipeo hago, appaneun gajogi tteoreojyeo saneun geon siltae. Dul da manneun mariraseo deo dapdapae.

   Mom wants to keep working in Seoul, and Dad says he doesn't want the family living apart. They're both right, which makes it even more frustrating.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그래서 너한테는 뭐라고 하셨는데?

   Geuraeseo neohanteneun mworago hasyeonneunde?

   So what did they say to you?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 아무 말도. 아침에 아빠가 '오늘 저녁에 가족회의 하자' 그 한마디만 했어. 아무리 회사 일이기로서니 나한테 한마디도 안 물어보는 게 말이 돼? 내 의견은 완전 뒷전이야.

   Amu maldo. Achime appaga 'oneul jeonyeoge gajokhoeui haja' geu hanmadiman haesseo. Amuri hoesa irigiroseoni nahante hanmadido an mureoboneun ge mari dwae? Nae uigyeoneun wanjeon dwitjeoniya.

   Nothing. This morning Dad just said, 'Let's have a family meeting tonight,' and that was it. I know it's for work, but how can they not ask me a single thing? My opinion comes dead last.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 근데 가족회의를 한다는 건 아직 결정 안 했다는 거 아니야? 네 의견도 들으려는 걸 수도 있잖아.

   Geunde gajokhoeuireul handaneun geon ajik gyeoljeong an haetdaneun geo aniya? Ne uigyeondo deureuryeoneun geol sudo itjana.

   But if they're having a family meeting, doesn't that mean they haven't decided yet? Maybe they want to hear what you think too.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 그런가... 근데 막상 회의에서 말하려고 하면 나 울 것 같아. 아빠 앞에서는 말이 잘 안 나와.

    Geureonga... geunde maksang hoeuieseo malharyeogo hamyeon na ul geot gata. Appa apeseoneun mari jal an nawa.

    Maybe... but when it comes to actually speaking in the meeting, I think I'll cry. The words never come out right in front of my dad.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그럼 미리 적어 가. 나 중학교 때 부산에서 올라왔잖아. 그때 나도 똑같았어.

    Geureom miri jeogeo ga. Na junghakgyo ttae Busaneseo ollawatjana. Geuttae nado ttokgatasseo.

    Then write it down beforehand. I moved up from Busan in middle school, remember. I went through exactly the same thing.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 맞다, 너 부산에서 왔지. 그때 넌 어떻게 했어? 싫다고 했어?

    Matda, neo Busaneseo watji. Geuttae neon eotteoke haesseo? Siltago haesseo?

    Right, you came from Busan. What did you do back then? Did you say you didn't want to go?

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 싫다고 막무가내로 울고불고했지. 근데 아무것도 안 바뀌었어. 그냥 투정 부리는 애가 된 거야. 울지 말고 조건을 말했어야 했는데.

    Siltago mangmuganaero ulgobulgohaetji. Geunde amugeotdo an bakkwieosseo. Geunyang tujeong burineun aega doen geoya. Ulji malgo jogeoneul malhaesseoya haenneunde.

    I cried and threw a fit and wouldn't listen to anyone. But nothing changed. I just became the kid throwing a tantrum. I should have laid out conditions instead of crying.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 조건? 이사 가는 대신 뭘 사 달라, 이런 거?

    Jogeon? Isa ganeun daesin mwol sa dalla, ireon geo?

    Conditions? Like, 'I'll move if you buy me something'?

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그런 거 말고. 고등학교 졸업할 때까지는 여기 다니고 싶다, 아니면 방학마다 서울 친구들 만나러 오게 해 달라, 이런 거.

    Geureon geo malgo. Godeunghakgyo joreopal ttaekkajineun yeogi danigo sipda, animyeon banghangmada Seoul chingudeul mannareo oge hae dalla, ireon geo.

    Not like that. Like, 'I want to stay at this school until I graduate,' or 'Let me come to Seoul every vacation to see my friends.' That kind of thing.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 근데 솔직히 나는 내가 뭘 원하는지도 모르겠어. 세종이 싫은 건지, 아무도 안 물어본 게 서운한 건지.

    Geunde soljiki naneun naega mwol wonhaneunjido moreugesseo. Sejongi sireun geonji, amudo an mureobon ge seounhan geonji.

    But honestly, I don't even know what I want. Whether I hate the idea of Sejong, or I'm just hurt that nobody asked me.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 그것도 그대로 말하면 되잖아. '아직 모르겠는데, 적어도 나한테 물어봐 줬으면 좋겠어.' 그게 제일 중요한 거 같은데.

    Geugeotdo geudaero malhamyeon doejana. 'Ajik moreugenneunde, jeogeodo nahante mureobwa jwosseumyeon jokesseo.' Geuge jeil jungyohan geo gateunde.

    Then just say that, exactly like that. 'I don't know yet, but I at least want you to ask me.' That seems like the most important part.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 너 가끔 되게 어른 같다. 좋아, 적어 보자. 첫째, 나도 가족이니까 내 의견도 물어봐 줬으면 좋겠다.

    Neo gakkeum doege eoreun gatda. Joa, jeogeo boja. Cheotjjae, nado gajoginikka nae uigyeondo mureobwa jwosseumyeon joketda.

    You're weirdly grown-up sometimes. Okay, let's write it down. One: I'm part of this family too, so I want to be asked what I think.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 둘째는? 전학 얘기 넣어야지. 너 이번 학기 내신 때문에 엄청 열심히 했잖아.

    Duljjaeneun? Jeonhak yaegi neoeoyaji. Neo ibeon hakgi naesin ttaemune eomcheong yeolsimhi haetjana.

    And two? You need the school transfer in there. You've worked so hard on your grades this semester.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 둘째, 전학을 가게 되면 적어도 이번 학기는 끝내고 가고 싶다. 셋째... 엄마 아빠가 이 문제로 그만 싸웠으면 좋겠다.

    Duljjae, jeonhageul gage doemyeon jeogeodo ibeon hakgineun kkeunnaego gago sipda. Setjjae... eomma appaga i munjero geuman ssawosseumyeon joketda.

    Two: if I do have to transfer, I want to at least finish this semester first. Three... I wish Mom and Dad would stop fighting about this.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 셋째가 제일 세다. 그거 말하면 아마 너희 엄마 아빠 둘 다 조용해지실걸.

    Setjjaega jeil seda. Geugeo malhamyeon ama neohui eomma appa dul da joyonghaejisilgeol.

    Number three hits hardest. When you say that, your mom and dad will probably both go quiet.

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 근데 준우야, 나 진짜 이사 가면 우리 스터디는 어떡해? 너 혼자 수학 문제 풀 수 있어?

    Geunde Junuya, na jinjja isa gamyeon uri seuteodineun eotteokae? Neo honja suhak munje pul su isseo?

    But Junwoo, if I really do move, what happens to our study sessions? Can you do the maths problems on your own?

    Line 22
23. 23

    A 야, 그건 걱정 마. 세종이 무슨 외국이냐? 기차 타면 한 시간 좀 넘어. 영상 통화로 해도 되고.

    Ya, geugeon geokjeong ma. Sejongi museun oeguginya? Gicha tamyeon han sigan jom neomeo. Yeongsang tonghwaro haedo doego.

    Hey, don't worry about that. Is Sejong a foreign country or something? It's just over an hour by train. We can do video calls too.

    Line 23
24. 24

    B 말은 쉽지. 너 영상 통화 하면 맨날 딴짓하잖아.

    Mareun swipji. Neo yeongsang tonghwa hamyeon maennal ttanjitajana.

    Easy to say. You always get distracted on video calls.

    Line 24
25. 25

    A 이번엔 안 그럴게. 그러니까 회의 끝나면 결과 바로 문자해. 울먹였어도 괜찮으니까.

    Ibeonen an geureolge. Geureonikka hoeui kkeunnamyeon gyeolgwa baro munjahae. Ulmeogyeosseodo gwaenchaneunikka.

    I won't this time. So text me the result as soon as the meeting's over. Even if you got a bit teary, that's okay.

    Line 25
26. 26

    B 안 울 거야. 적어 간 거 보면서 담담하게 말할 거야. 아무리 떨리기로서니 내 얘기를 남이 대신 하게 둘 수는 없잖아.

    An ul geoya. Jeogeo gan geo bomyeonseo damdamhage malhal geoya. Amuri tteolligiroseoni nae yaegireul nami daesin hage dul suneun eopjana.

    I won't cry. I'll read from what I wrote and say it calmly. However nervous I am, I can't let someone else speak for me.

    Line 26
