1. 1

   B 삼촌, 커피 사 왔어요. 그리고 할머니 댁 도착하기 전에 여쭤볼 게 하나 있는데요.

   Samchon, keopi sa wasseoyo. Geurigo halmeoni daek dochakagi jeone yeojjwobol ge hana inneundeyo.

   Uncle, I got you a coffee. And there's something I want to ask you before we get to Grandma's.

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 고맙다. 뭔데 그렇게 심각한 얼굴이야? 휴게소 호두과자라도 다 떨어졌대?

   Gomapda. Mwonde geureoke simgakan eolguriya? Hyugeso hodugwajarado da tteoreojyeotdae?

   Thanks. What's with the serious face? Did the rest stop run out of walnut cakes or something?

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 농담하실 때가 아니에요. 삼촌이 할머니 시골집을 판다는 얘기가 돌던데, 사실이에요?

   Nongdamhasil ttaega anieyo. Samchoni halmeoni sigoljibeul pandaneun yaegiga doldeonde, sasirieyo?

   This isn't the time for jokes. There's a rumour going round that you're selling Grandma's house in the country. Is it true?

   Line 3
4. 4

   A ...그 얘기를 누구한테 들었어? 아직 아무한테도 안 했는데.

   ...Geu yaegireul nuguhante deureosseo? Ajik amuhantedo an haenneunde.

   ...Who did you hear that from? I haven't told anyone yet.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 고모가 아빠한테 전화하셨어요. 삼촌이 부동산 사무실에서 나오는 걸 동네 분이 봤다고요. 아빠는 어젯밤에 한숨도 못 주무셨어요.

   Gomoga appahante jeonhwahasyeosseoyo. Samchoni budongsan samusireseo naoneun geol dongne buni bwatdagoyo. Appaneun eojetbame hansumdo mot jumusyeosseoyo.

   Auntie called Dad. Someone from the village saw you coming out of an estate agent's. Dad didn't sleep a wink last night.

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 형이 그렇게까지... 소문 참 빠르다. 부동산에 간 건 맞아. 집값을 물어보러 간 것도 맞고.

   Hyeongi geureokekkaji... somun cham ppareuda. Budongsane gan geon maja. Jipgapseul mureoboreo gan geotdo matgo.

   Your dad took it that hard... Rumours sure travel fast. It's true I went to the estate agent. And it's true I went to ask what the house is worth.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 그럼 정말 파시려는 거예요? 그 집은 할아버지가 직접 지으신 집이잖아요. 명절마다 다 모이는 곳이고요.

   Geureom jeongmal pasiryeoneun geoyeyo? Geu jibeun harabeojiga jikjeop jieusin jibijanayo. Myeongjeolmada da moineun gosigoyo.

   So you really are going to sell it? Grandpa built that house himself. It's where everyone gets together every holiday.

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 누가 그걸 모르냐. 나도 그 집에서 태어났어. 근데 지훈아, 너 할머니가 지난겨울에 넘어지셨다는 거 알아?

   Nuga geugeol moreunya. Nado geu jibeseo taeeonasseo. Geunde Jihuna, neo halmeoniga jinangyeoure neomeojisyeotdaneun geo ara?

   Don't you think I know that? I was born in that house. But Jihoon, did you know Grandma had a fall last winter?

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 네? 그건 금시초문인데요. 아빠도 모르시는 것 같던데요.

   Ne? Geugeon geumsichomunindeyo. Appado moreusineun geot gatdeondeyo.

   What? That's news to me. I don't think Dad knows either.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 할머니가 아무한테도 말하지 말라고 하셨거든. 마당 계단에서 미끄러지셔서 한 달 동안 병원에 다니셨어.

    Halmeoniga amuhantedo malhaji mallago hasyeotgeodeun. Madang gyedaneseo mikkeureojisyeoseo han dal dongan byeongwone danisyeosseo.

    Grandma told me not to tell anyone. She slipped on the steps in the yard and had to go to the hospital for a month.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 그런 일이 있었어요? 그런데 왜 삼촌한테만 말씀하셨대요? 다른 형제분들도 계신데요.

    Geureon iri isseosseoyo? Geureonde wae samchonhanteman malsseumhasyeotdaeyo? Dareun hyeongjebundeuldo gyesindeyo.

    That happened? But why did she only tell you? She's got other children too.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 내가 제일 가까이 사니까 병원에 모시고 다녔지. 그러다 할머니가 먼저 말씀하셨어. 이제 그 집에서 혼자 겨울을 나기가 무섭다고.

    Naega jeil gakkai sanikka byeongwone mosigo danyeotji. Geureoda halmeoniga meonjeo malsseumhasyeosseo. Ije geu jibeseo honja gyeoureul nagiga museopdago.

    I live closest, so I was the one taking her to the hospital. Then Grandma brought it up herself. She said she's scared to spend another winter alone in that house.

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 그럼 집을 팔자고 하신 게 할머니세요? 소문이랑 완전히 반대네요.

    Geureom jibeul paljago hasin ge halmeoniseyo? Somunirang wanjeonhi bandaeneyo.

    So it was Grandma who suggested selling the house? That's the complete opposite of the rumour.

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 그래. 읍내 아파트로 옮기시고 싶대. 병원도 가깝고 경로당 친구분들도 거기 계시고.

    Geurae. Eumnae apateuro omgisigo sipdae. Byeongwondo gakkapgo gyeongnodang chingubundeuldo geogi gyesigo.

    That's right. She wants to move to an apartment in town. The hospital's close, and her friends from the seniors' centre are there too.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 그래도 그렇게 큰일을 형제분들이랑 상의도 없이 진행하시면 오해받기 딱 좋잖아요. 무슨 속셈이 있는 것처럼 보이고요.

    Geuraedo geureoke keunireul hyeongjebundeurirang sanguido eopsi jinhaenghasimyeon ohaebatgi ttak jochanayo. Museun soksemi inneun geotcheoreom boigoyo.

    Even so, if you go ahead with something that big without consulting your brothers and sisters, you're asking to be misunderstood. It looks like you're up to something.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 네 말이 맞다. 진작 형제들한테 털어놨어야 했는데, 할머니 뜻을 지킨다는 게 결국 벽을 만든 셈이 됐네.

    Ne mari matda. Jinjak hyeongjedeulhante teoreonwasseoya haenneunde, halmeoni tteuseul jikindaneun ge gyeolguk byeogeul mandeun semi dwaenne.

    You're right. I should have told my brothers and sisters long ago. Trying to respect Grandma's wishes ended up putting a wall between us.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 아빠는 삼촌이 집 판 돈을 혼자 가지려고 한다고 생각하시는 것 같아요. 그 부분이 제일 서운하신가 봐요.

    Appaneun samchoni jip pan doneul honja gajiryeogo handago saenggakasineun geot gatayo. Geu bubuni jeil seounhasinga bwayo.

    I think Dad believes you're trying to keep the money from the house for yourself. That seems to be what hurts him most.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 그건 유언비어야. 집 판 돈은 할머니 앞으로 두고, 나중에 상속할 때는 아들딸을 막론하고 똑같이 나눈다고 할머니가 정하셨어.

    Geugeon yueonbieoya. Jip pan doneun halmeoni apeuro dugo, najunge sangsokal ttaeneun adeulttareul mangnonhago ttokgachi nanundago halmeoniga jeonghasyeosseo.

    That's a groundless rumour. The money from the house stays in Grandma's name, and Grandma decided herself that when it's inherited, it'll be split equally, sons and daughters alike.

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 아들딸을 막론하고요? 역시 할머니세요. 그럼 그 자초지종을 오늘 저녁에 다 같이 들으면 되겠네요.

    Adeulttareul mangnonhagoyo? Yeoksi halmeoniseyo. Geureom geu jachojijongeul oneul jeonyeoge da gachi deureumyeon doegenneyo.

    Sons and daughters alike? That's Grandma for you. Then everyone can hear the whole story together this evening.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 그래야지. 할머니가 서운해하셔도 이번엔 내가 형제들한테 솔직하게 다 얘기할 거야. 입단속은 여기까지다.

    Geuraeyaji. Halmeoniga seounhaehasyeodo ibeonen naega hyeongjedeulhante soljikage da yaegihal geoya. Ipdansogeun yeogikkajida.

    That's what we'll do. Even if Grandma's upset, this time I'm going to tell my brothers and sisters everything, honestly. No more keeping quiet.

    Line 20
21. 21

    B 제가 아빠 옆에 앉아 있을게요. 아빠가 욱하시면 제가 옆구리 쿡 찌를게요.

    Jega appa yeope anja isseulgeyo. Appaga ukasimyeon jega yeopguri kuk jjireulgeyo.

    I'll sit next to Dad. If he flares up, I'll give him a nudge in the ribs.

    Line 21
22. 22

    A 든든하네. 자, 가자. 차 막히기 전에 출발해야 할머니가 해 주시는 송편 먹지.

    Deundeunhane. Ja, gaja. Cha makigi jeone chulbalhaeya halmeoniga hae jusineun songpyeon meokji.

    That's reassuring. Right, let's go. We need to beat the traffic if we want to eat Grandma's songpyeon.

    Line 22
