1. 1

   A 태윤아, 라면 불기 전에 본론부터 말할게. 나 이번에 빵집 카페 차리는 거 알지?

   Taeyuna, ramyeon bulgi jeone bollonbuteo malhalge. Na ibeone ppangjip kape charineun geo alji?

   Taeyun, before the noodles go soggy, I'll get straight to the point. You know I'm opening a bakery café, right?

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 알지. 망원동에 자리 봤다며. 인테리어는 시작했어?

   Alji. Mangwondonge jari bwatdamyeo. Interieoneun sijakaesseo?

   Sure. You said you'd found a spot in Mangwon-dong. Started on the interior yet?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 그게 문제야. 오븐 값이 생각보다 너무 비싸서 천만 원이 모자라. 너한테 투자를 받고 싶어.

   Geuge munjeya. Obeun gapsi saenggakboda neomu bissaseo cheonman woni mojara. Neohante tujareul batgo sipeo.

   That's the problem. The oven costs way more than I thought, so I'm ten million won short. I'd like you to invest.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 천만 원이라. 나 결혼 자금 모으는 거 알잖아. 선뜻 대답은 못 하겠는데, 네가 같이 하자면 할 수는 있어. 대신 조건이 있어.

   Cheonman wonira. Na gyeolhon jageum moeuneun geo aljana. Seontteut daedabeun mot hagenneunde, nega gachi hajamyeon hal suneun isseo. Daesin jogeoni isseo.

   Ten million, huh. You know I'm saving up for my wedding. I can't say yes just like that, but if you're asking me to go in on it with you, I can. On one condition, though.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 조건? 우리 사이에 무슨 조건이야. 초등학교 때부터 떡볶이 나눠 먹은 사이에.

   Jogeon? Uri saie museun jogeoniya. Chodeunghakgyo ttaebuteo tteokbokki nanwo meogeun saie.

   A condition? Between us? We've been sharing tteokbokki since primary school.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그러니까 조건을 거는 거야. 돈 얘기일랑 말로 하지 말고 서류로 하자. 계약서 쓰자고.

   Geureonikka jogeoneul geoneun geoya. Don yaegiillang mallo haji malgo seoryuro haja. Gyeyakseo sseujago.

   That's exactly why I'm setting one. Let's not do money talk by word of mouth - let's put it on paper. A contract, I mean.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 계약서? 너 나 못 믿어? 좀 서운하다.

   Gyeyakseo? Neo na mot mideo? Jom seounhada.

   A contract? You don't trust me? That kind of hurts.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 믿으니까 쓰자는 거야. 돈 때문에 원수 된 친구들 얘기 너도 들어 봤잖아. 난 우리가 그렇게 되는 거 싫어.

   Mideunikka sseujaneun geoya. Don ttaemune wonsu doen chingudeul yaegi neodo deureo bwatjana. Nan uriga geureoke doeneun geo sireo.

   I want one because I do trust you. You've heard about friends who became enemies over money. I don't want that to happen to us.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 듣고 보니 맞는 말이네. 그래, 그럼 뭐부터 정할까?

   Deutgo boni manneun marine. Geurae, geureom mwobuteo jeonghalkka?

   Now that you say it, you're right. Okay, so what do we decide first?

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 제일 먼저, 이게 빌려주는 거야, 투자하는 거야? 빌려주는 거면 언제까지 갚을지 정하고, 투자면 지분을 정해야지.

    Jeil meonjeo, ige billyeojuneun geoya, tujahaneun geoya? Billyeojuneun geomyeon eonjekkaji gapeulji jeonghago, tujamyeon jibuneul jeonghaeyaji.

    First: is this a loan or an investment? If it's a loan, we settle when you'll pay it back; if it's an investment, we settle my stake.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 투자로 하자. 가게가 잘되면 너도 같이 벌어야지. 지분 십 퍼센트 어때?

    Tujaro haja. Gagega jaldoemyeon neodo gachi beoreoyaji. Jibun sip peosenteu eottae?

    Let's make it an investment. If the shop does well, you should make money too. How about ten percent?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 총 투자금이 얼마인데? 그걸 알아야 십 퍼센트가 많은 건지 적은 건지 알지.

    Chong tujageumi eolmainde? Geugeol araya sip peosenteuga maneun geonji jeogeun geonji alji.

    What's the total investment? I need to know that to tell if ten percent is a lot or a little.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 보증금이랑 권리금, 장비까지 다 해서 일억이야. 그러니까 천만 원이면 딱 십 퍼센트지.

    Bojeunggeumirang gwolligeum, jangbikkaji da haeseo ireogiya. Geureonikka cheonman wonimyeon ttak sip peosenteuji.

    Deposit, key money and equipment all together come to a hundred million. So ten million is exactly ten percent.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 근데 너는 매일 새벽 네 시에 나가서 빵 구울 거잖아. 네 노동은 계산에 안 들어가? 그럼 너만 손해야.

    Geunde neoneun maeil saebyeok ne sie nagaseo ppang guul geojana. Ne nodongeun gyesane an deureoga? Geureom neoman sonhaeya.

    But you'll be out at four every morning baking. Doesn't your labour count? Then you're the one losing out.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 너 지금 내 편 드는 거야, 네 편 드는 거야? 협상이 이상하게 흘러가네.

    Neo jigeum nae pyeon deuneun geoya, ne pyeon deuneun geoya? Hyeopsangi isanghage heulleogane.

    Are you on my side or your own right now? This negotiation's taking a weird turn.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 둘 다. 공정해야 오래가. 네 월급은 따로 정하고, 흑자가 나면 남는 이익에서 내 몫을 받는 걸로 하자.

    Dul da. Gongjeonghaeya oraega. Ne wolgeubeun ttaro jeonghago, heukjaga namyeon namneun iigeseo nae mokseul banneun geollo haja.

    Both. It only lasts if it's fair. Set your own salary separately, and if you turn a profit, I take my share from what's left over.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 좋아. 근데 만약에 가게가 망하면? 그땐 네 원금은 어떻게 돼?

    Joa. Geunde manyage gagega manghamyeon? Geuttaen ne wongeumeun eotteoke dwae?

    Okay. But what if the shop goes under? What happens to your money then?

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 투자는 원래 위험 부담을 같이 지는 거야. 망하면 내 천만 원도 같이 날아가는 거고. 대신 그만둘 때는 나한테 제일 먼저 말해 줘.

    Tujaneun wollae wiheom budameul gachi jineun geoya. Manghamyeon nae cheonman wondo gachi naraganeun geogo. Daesin geumandul ttaeneun nahante jeil meonjeo malhae jwo.

    Investing means sharing the risk. If it goes under, my ten million goes down with it. But if you ever decide to quit, tell me first.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 당연하지. 그리고 하나 더. 메뉴나 인테리어는 내가 정하는 걸로 해. 네가 '소금빵 빼'라고 하면 곤란해.

    Dangyeonhaji. Geurigo hana deo. Menyuna interieoneun naega jeonghaneun geollo hae. Nega 'sogeumppang ppae'rago hamyeon gollanhae.

    Of course. And one more thing. The menu and the interior are my call. It'd be a problem if you told me to drop the salt bread.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 난 빵 모르니까 간섭 안 해. 대신 매달 장부는 보여 줘. 그것까지 다 써 넣자.

    Nan ppang moreunikka ganseop an hae. Daesin maedal jangbuneun boyeo jwo. Geugeotkkaji da sseo neocha.

    I don't know bread, so I won't meddle. But show me the books every month. Let's write all of that in.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 알았어. 일단 영수증 뒤에 대충 적어 보자. 볼펜 있어? 이거 쓰니까 진짜 사업하는 사람 같다.

    Arasseo. Ildan yeongsujeung dwie daechung jeogeo boja. Bolpen isseo? Igeo sseunikka jinjja saeopaneun saram gatda.

    Got it. Let's jot it down on the back of a receipt for now. Got a pen? Writing this makes me feel like a real businessman.

    Line 21
22. 22

    B 초안만 여기 적고, 내일 제대로 된 계약서로 옮기자. 공증도 받아 두고.

    Choanman yeogi jeokgo, naeil jedaero doen gyeyakseoro omgija. Gongjeungdo bada dugo.

    Just the draft here; tomorrow we put it into a proper contract. And we get it notarised too.

    Line 22
23. 23

    A 공증까지? 야, 우리 진짜 어색하다. 라면도 다 불었어.

    Gongjeungkkaji? Ya, uri jinjja eosaekada. Ramyeondo da bureosseo.

    Notarised too? Man, this is so awkward. And the noodles have gone soggy.

    Line 23
24. 24

    B 어색한 건 오늘 하루면 돼. 섭섭한 마음일랑 라면 국물에 말아 먹어. 자, 동업자님, 건배.

    Eosaekan geon oneul harumyeon dwae. Seopseopan maeumillang ramyeon gungmure mara meogeo. Ja, dongeopjanim, geonbae.

    One awkward night is fine. Swallow your hurt feelings along with the noodle soup. Here, partner, cheers.

    Line 24
25. 25

    A 건배. 근데 라면값은 네가 내. 투자자잖아.

    Geonbae. Geunde ramyeongapseun nega nae. Tujajajana.

    Cheers. But you're paying for the noodles. You're the investor.

    Line 25
