1. 1

   A 서아야, 큰일 났어! 콩이가 없어. 아침에 밥 주려고 봤더니 케이지가 텅 비어 있어!

   Seoaya, keunil nasseo! Kongiga eopseo. Achime bap juryeogo bwatdeoni Keijiga teong bieo isseo!

   Seoa, this is bad! Kongi's gone. I went to feed him this morning and the cage was empty!

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 뭐? 진짜? 큰일 났구려! 아니, 장난 아니고 진짜 큰일이다. 케이지 문은? 문 열려 있었어?

   Mwo? Jinjja? Keunil natguryeo! Ani, jangnan anigo jinjja keunirida. Keiji muneun? Mun yeollyeo isseosseo?

   What? Seriously? Alas, disaster has struck! No, I'm not joking, this is really bad. What about the cage door? Was it open?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 문은 닫혀 있었어. 근데 위에 뚜껑이 조금 들려 있더라. 어젯밤에 마지막으로 해바라기씨 준 건 너잖아.

   Muneun dachyeo isseosseo. Geunde wie ttukkeongi jogeum deullyeo itdeora. Eojetbame majimageuro haebaragissi jun geon neojana.

   The door was shut. But the lid on top was lifted a bit. You were the last one to give him sunflower seeds last night.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 지금 내 탓이야? 나는 분명히 뚜껑 닫았어. 너 자기 전에 콩이 꺼내서 만졌다고 했잖아.

   Jigeum nae tasiya? Naneun bunmyeonghi ttukkeong dadasseo. Neo jagi jeone kongi kkeonaeseo manjyeotdago haetjana.

   Are you blaming me? I definitely closed the lid. You said you took Kongi out and played with him before bed.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 그건 아홉 시쯤이고, 그다음엔 제대로 넣었어. 아마 콩이가 밤새 머리로 뚜껑을 밀었나 봐.

   Geugeon ahop sijjeumigo, geudaeumen jedaero neoeosseo. Ama kongiga bamsae meoriro ttukkeongeul mireonna bwa.

   That was around nine, and I put him back properly after. Kongi must have pushed the lid up with his head during the night.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 누구 탓인지는 나중에 따지고, 일단 집 안을 샅샅이 찾자. 햄스터는 좁고 어두운 데를 좋아한대. 너는 침대 밑이랑 소파 밑 봐.

   Nugu tasinjineun najunge ttajigo, ildan jip aneul satsachi chatja. Haemseuteoneun jopgo eoduun dereul joahandae. Neoneun chimdae michirang sopa mit bwa.

   We'll argue about whose fault it is later. Let's search the whole flat first. Hamsters like small, dark places. You check under the bed and the sofa.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 알았어. 너는 부엌 쪽 봐 줘. 냉장고 뒤에 들어갔으면 어떡하지? 거기 따뜻하잖아.

   Arasseo. Neoneun bueok jjok bwa jwo. Naengjanggo dwie deureogasseumyeon eotteokaji? Geogi ttatteutajana.

   Okay. You check the kitchen. What if he's gone behind the fridge? It's warm back there.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 부엌엔 없어. 대신 싱크대 밑에 해바라기씨 껍질이 떨어져 있어! 여기로 지나간 게 분명해.

   Bueoken eopseo. Daesin singkeudae mite haebaragissi kkeopjiri tteoreojyeo isseo! Yeogiro jinagan ge bunmyeonghae.

   He's not in the kitchen. But there are sunflower seed shells under the sink! He must have come this way.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 그럼 베란다 쪽으로 갔을 수도 있어. 베란다 문이 조금 열려 있거든. 아까 내가 환기한다고 열어 놨어.

   Geureom beranda jjogeuro gasseul sudo isseo. Beranda muni jogeum yeollyeo itgeodeun. Akka naega hwangihandago yeoreo nwasseo.

   Then he might have gone to the balcony. The balcony door is open a bit. I opened it earlier to air the place out.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 햄스터가 없어졌는데 베란다 문을 열어 놨다고? 한심하기 짝이 없다! 우리 엄마가 드라마 보면서 맨날 하는 말이야.

    Haemseuteoga eopseojyeonneunde beranda muneul yeoreo nwatdago? Hansimhagi jjagi eopda! Uri eommaga deurama bomyeonseo maennal haneun mariya.

    The hamster's missing and you left the balcony door open? How utterly pathetic! That's what my mom always says when she watches dramas.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그땐 콩이 없어진 줄 몰랐지. 그리고 너 아까부터 호들갑 떨면서 자꾸 이상한 말 쓰는 거 알아?

    Geuttaen kongi eopseojin jul mollatji. Geurigo neo akkabuteo hodeulgap tteolmyeonseo jakku isanghan mal sseuneun geo ara?

    I didn't know Kongi was gone then. And do you know you've been making a huge fuss and using weird words?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 안절부절못하면 할머니랑 같이 보는 사극 말투가 나와. 신경 쓰지 마. 그보다 월요일에 선생님한테 뭐라고 하지?

    Anjeolbujeolmotamyeon halmeonirang gachi boneun sageuk maltuga nawa. Singyeong sseuji ma. Geuboda woryoire seonsaengnimhante mworago haji?

    When I get flustered, I start talking like the historical dramas I watch with my grandma. Ignore it. More importantly, what do we tell our teacher on Monday?

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 월요일까지 못 찾으면... 그냥 말하지 말자. 콩이가 아파서 우리 집에 좀 더 있어야 한다고 하면 안 될까?

    Woryoilkkaji mot chajeumyeon... geunyang malhaji malja. Kongiga apaseo uri jibe jom deo isseoya handago hamyeon an doelkka?

    If we don't find him by Monday... let's just not tell her. Couldn't we say Kongi's sick and has to stay at my place a bit longer?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 안 돼. 거짓말하면 나중에 더 혼나. 게다가 반 애들이 다 콩이 보고 싶어 하는데 언제까지 속일 거야?

    An dwae. Geojinmalhamyeon najunge deo honna. Gedaga ban aedeuri da kongi bogo sipeo haneunde eonjekkaji sogil geoya?

    No way. If we lie, we'll get in even more trouble later. Besides, everyone in class wants to see Kongi. How long are you going to fool them?

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그럼 네가 말해. 너는 반장이잖아. 선생님은 반장 말은 잘 들어 주시잖아.

    Geureom nega malhae. Neoneun banjangijana. Seonsaengnimeun banjang mareun jal deureo jusijana.

    Then you tell her. You're class president. The teacher always listens to the class president.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 같이 말해야지. 둘이 같이 맡은 거잖아. 대신 오늘은 하루 종일 찾아보고, 그래도 없으면 아파트에 전단지도 붙이자.

    Gachi malhaeyaji. Duri gachi mateun geojana. Daesin oneureun haru jongil chajabogo, geuraedo eopseumyeon apateue jeondanjido buchija.

    We'll tell her together. We were both in charge of him. But let's search all day today, and if we still can't find him, let's put up posters around the apartment building.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 잠깐, 쉿! 방금 신발장 쪽에서 바스락 소리 났어. 들었어?

    Jamkkan, swit! Banggeum sinbaljang jjogeseo baseurak sori nasseo. Deureosseo?

    Wait, shh! I just heard a rustle by the shoe cabinet. Did you hear it?

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 들었어! 네 운동화 안이야. 콩이가 볼에 해바라기씨를 잔뜩 넣고 자고 있어! 아이고, 살았구려!

    Deureosseo! Ne undonghwa aniya. Kongiga bore haebaragissireul jantteuk neoko jago isseo! Aigo, saratguryeo!

    I heard it! It's inside your sneaker. Kongi's asleep with his cheeks stuffed with sunflower seeds! Oh, heavens be praised, we are saved!

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 콩이야, 찾았다! 천만다행이다. 서아야, 선생님한테는 그냥 비밀로 하자. 이건 거짓말이 아니라 비밀이야.

    Kongiya, chajatda! Cheonmandahaengida. Seoaya, seonsaengnimhanteneun geunyang bimillo haja. Igeon geojinmari anira bimiriya.

    Kongi, found you! Thank goodness. Seoa, let's just keep this a secret from the teacher. It's not a lie, it's a secret.
