   A 엄마, 안 자? 할 말이 있는데... 화내지 말고 끝까지 들어 줘.

   Eomma, an ja? Hal mari inneunde... hwanaeji malgo kkeutkkaji deureo jwo.

   Mom, are you still up? I need to tell you something... Don't get mad, just hear me out.

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 무슨 일인데 목소리가 그래? 앉아서 자초지종을 말해 봐. 끝까지 들을게.

   Museun irinde moksoriga geurae? Anjaseo jachojijongeul malhae bwa. Kkeutkkaji deureulge.

   What's wrong? Your voice sounds off. Sit down and tell me the whole story. I'll hear you out.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 오늘 축제 때 우리 반 다은이네 부스 사진을 스토리에 올렸거든. '손님보다 파리가 더 많은 부스'라고. 친한 친구들만 보라고 올린 건데.

   Oneul chukje ttae uri ban daeunine buseu sajineul seutorie ollyeotgeodeun. 'Sonnimboda pariga deo maneun buseu'rago. Chinhan chingudeulman borago ollin geonde.

   At the festival today I put a photo of Daeun's booth, from my class, on my story. Saying 'the booth with more flies than customers'. I only posted it for my close friends to see.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 그래서? 그게 퍼졌구나.

   Geuraeseo? Geuge peojyeotguna.

   And? It spread, didn't it.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 누가 캡처해서 단톡방마다 돌리는 바람에 걷잡을 수 없이 퍼졌어. 다은이가 그거 보고 울면서 부스 정리하고 먼저 갔대. 일이 이렇게 커질 줄 몰랐어.

   Nuga kaepcheohaeseo dantokbangmada dollineun barame geotjabeul su eopsi peojyeosseo. Daeuniga geugeo bogo ulmyeonseo buseu jeongnihago meonjeo gatdae. Iri ireoke keojil jul mollasseo.

   Someone screenshotted it and sent it round every group chat, and it spread out of control. Apparently Daeun saw it, packed up her booth in tears and left early. I never thought it would blow up like this.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 서윤아, 생각이 어쩜 그렇게 짧으니. 남의 부스를 그렇게 함부로 놀리면 어떡해. 다은이가 그거 준비하느라 한 달 동안 주말마다 학교 나간 거 너도 알잖아.

   Seoyuna, saenggagi eojjeom geureoke jjalbeuni. Namui buseureul geureoke hamburo nollimyeon eotteokae. Daeuniga geugeo junbihaneura han dal dongan jumalmada hakgyo nagan geo neodo aljana.

   Seoyun, how could you be so thoughtless? How could you just make fun of someone's booth like that? You know Daeun went into school every weekend for a month to get it ready.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 알아. 스토리는 벌써 삭제했어. 근데 캡처가 돌아다니니까 소용없어. 사과는 내일 학교 가서 할까?

   Ara. Seutorineun beolsseo sakjehaesseo. Geunde kaepcheoga doradaninikka soyongeopseo. Sagwaneun naeil hakgyo gaseo halkka?

   I know. I've already deleted the story. But the screenshots are going around, so it's pointless. Should I apologise at school tomorrow?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 사과라면 빠를수록 좋은 거야. 다은이가 내일 아침까지 혼자 그 캡처를 몇 번이나 다시 볼지 생각해 봐. 지금 보내.

   Sagwaramyeon ppareulsurok joeun geoya. Daeuniga naeil achimkkaji honja geu kaepcheoreul myeot beonina dasi bolji saenggakae bwa. Jigeum bonae.

   When it comes to apologising, the sooner the better. Think how many times Daeun will look at that screenshot again, alone, before morning. Send it now.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 알았어. 이렇게 쓰면 어때? '다은아, 기분 나빴다면 미안해. 그냥 장난이었어.'

   Arasseo. Ireoke sseumyeon eottae? 'Daeuna, gibun nappatdamyeon mianhae. Geunyang jangnanieosseo.'

   Okay. How about this? 'Daeun, sorry if that upset you. It was just a joke.'

   Line 9
10. 10

    B '기분 나빴다면'은 빼. 기분이 나빴는지를 왜 네가 따져? 그리고 '장난이었어'는 변명이야. 어설픈 사과는 상처만 더 키워.

    'Gibun nappatdamyeon'eun ppae. Gibuni nappanneunjireul wae nega ttajyeo? Geurigo 'jangnanieosseo'neun byeonmyeongiya. Eoseolpeun sagwaneun sangcheoman deo kiwo.

    Take out 'if that upset you'. Why are you the one to judge whether she was upset? And 'it was just a joke' is an excuse. A half-hearted apology only makes the hurt worse.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 그럼 '오해가 있었던 것 같아'는? 난 진짜 부스가 망했다는 뜻이 아니었단 말이야. 사람이 없어서 웃겼던 거지.

    Geureom 'ohaega isseotdeon geot gata'neun? Nan jinjja buseuga manghaetdaneun tteusi anieotdan mariya. Sarami eopseoseo utgyeotdeon geoji.

    Then what about 'I think there's been a misunderstanding'? I really didn't mean the booth was a flop. It was just funny that it was empty.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 오해는 무슨 오해야. 다은이는 네 글을 정확하게 읽었어. 네가 무슨 뜻으로 썼든 다은이는 상처를 받았어. 엄마는 다은이가 너무 안쓰럽다.

    Ohaeneun museun ohaeya. Daeunineun ne geureul jeonghwakage ilgeosseo. Nega museun tteuseuro sseotdeun daeunineun sangcheoreul badasseo. Eommaneun daeuniga neomu ansseureopda.

    Misunderstanding, my foot. Daeun read your post exactly right. Whatever you meant by it, she got hurt. I feel so sorry for her.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 알았어, 알았어. '다은아, 내가 올린 글 때문에 많이 속상했지. 정말 미안해.' 이 정도면 돼?

    Arasseo, arasseo. 'Daeuna, naega ollin geul ttaemune mani soksanghaetji. Jeongmal mianhae.' I jeongdomyeon dwae?

    Okay, okay. 'Daeun, you must have been really upset by what I posted. I'm really sorry.' Is that good enough?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 훨씬 낫다. 근데 뭐가 미안한지를 네 말로 정확하게 써야 돼.

    Hwolssin natda. Geunde mwoga mianhanjireul ne mallo jeonghwakage sseoya dwae.

    Much better. But you have to write exactly what you're sorry for, in your own words.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A '네가 한 달 동안 열심히 준비한 부스를 웃음거리로 만들어서 미안해.' ...이렇게 쓰니까 내가 진짜 나쁜 애 같아.

    'Nega han dal dongan yeolsimhi junbihan buseureul useumgeoriro mandeureoseo mianhae.' ...Ireoke sseunikka naega jinjja nappeun ae gata.

    'I'm sorry I made a joke out of the booth you worked so hard on for a month.' ...Writing it like this makes me sound like a really bad person.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 나쁜 애라서가 아니라 나쁜 짓을 해서 그래. 그 둘은 달라. 제대로 사과하면 다시 좋은 애가 될 수 있어.

    Nappeun aeraseoga anira nappeun jiseul haeseo geurae. Geu dureun dalla. Jedaero sagwahamyeon dasi joeun aega doel su isseo.

    It's not because you're a bad person, it's because you did a bad thing. Those are different. If you apologise properly, you can go back to being a good person.

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 단톡방에도 올려야 돼? 전교생이 다 볼 텐데. 그건 진짜 망신이야.

    Dantokbangedo ollyeoya dwae? Jeongyosaengi da bol tende. Geugeon jinjja mangsiniya.

    Do I have to post it in the group chats too? The whole school will see it. That would be so humiliating.

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 지금 그게 걱정이니? 창피한 건 네 몫이야. 사과라면 다은이한테 먼저 하고, 단톡방은 다은이가 원하는지 물어보고 정해.

    Jigeum geuge geokjeongini? Changpihan geon ne moksiya. Sagwaramyeon daeunihante meonjeo hago, dantokbangeun daeuniga wonhaneunji mureobogo jeonghae.

    Is that what you're worried about right now? The embarrassment is yours to deal with. Apologise to Daeun first, and ask her whether she wants it in the group chats before you decide.

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 그리고 엄마, 축제가 내일까지니까 아침에 제일 먼저 다은이네 부스에 가서 쿠키 살래. 애들한테도 같이 가자고 할 거야.

    Geurigo eomma, chukjega naeilkkajinikka achime jeil meonjeo daeunine buseue gaseo kuki sallae. Aedeulhantedo gachi gajago hal geoya.

    And Mom, the festival goes on tomorrow, so first thing in the morning I'm going to go to Daeun's booth and buy cookies. I'll ask my friends to come with me too.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 그건 좋은 생각이다. 근데 이번엔 사진은 찍지 마. 스토리 말고 네 발로 가서 사 와.

    Geugeon joeun saenggagida. Geunde ibeonen sajineun jjikji ma. Seutori malgo ne ballo gaseo sa wa.

    That's a good idea. But no photos this time. Forget the story; just go there on your own two feet and buy them.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 알았어. 보냈어. ...어, 벌써 읽었어. 엄마, 답장 오면 같이 봐 줘. 혼자 보기 무서워.

    Arasseo. Bonaesseo. ...Eo, beolsseo ilgeosseo. Eomma, dapjang omyeon gachi bwa jwo. Honja bogi museowo.

    Okay. Sent. ...Oh, she's read it already. Mom, when she replies, look at it with me. I'm scared to look alone.

    Line 21
