   C 할머니, 엄마, 저 할 말 있어요. 다음 달부터 수학 학원 그만두고, 그 돈으로 제과제빵 학원 다니고 싶어요.

   B 뭐? 밥 먹다가 난데없이 무슨 소리야. 고1 여름 방학이 얼마나 중요한데.

   Mwo? Bap meokdaga nandeeopsi museun soriya. Go1 yeoreum banghagi eolmana jungyohande.

   What? Where's this coming from, in the middle of lunch? Do you know how important the summer of your first year is?

   C 갑자기 아니야. 일 년 동안 고민했어. 주말마다 영상 보면서 빵 만든 거 엄마도 알잖아.

   Gapjagi aniya. Il nyeon dongan gominhaesseo. Jumalmada yeongsang bomyeonseo ppang mandeun geo eommado aljana.

   It's not sudden. I've been thinking about it for a year. You know I've been baking from videos every weekend.

   B 취미랑 진로는 달라. 너 학원 보낸다고 엄마가 얼마나 애썼는데. 그 학원 들어가려고 석 달이나 기다렸어.

   Chwimirang jilloneun dalla. Neo hagwon bonaendago eommaga eolmana aesseonneunde. Geu hagwon deureogaryeogo seok darina gidaryeosseo.

   A hobby isn't a career. Do you know how hard I worked to get you into that academy? We waited three months for a place.

   Line 4
5. 5

   C 알아. 그래서 더 미안한데, 수학 학원에 앉아 있으면 머릿속에 반죽 생각밖에 안 나.

   Ara. Geuraeseo deo mianhande, suhak hagwone anja isseumyeon meoritsoge banjuk saenggakbakke an na.

   I know. That's why I feel even worse, but when I sit in maths class, all I can think about is dough.

   Six hundred thousand won, Mother. But it's not about money. His future's at stake.

   A 미래 말이냐. 나는 떡집 삼십 년 하면서 네 남편 대학까지 뒷바라지했다. 손기술 있는 사람은 어디 가도 굶지 않아.

   Mirae marinya. Naneun tteokjip samsip nyeon hamyeonseo ne nampyeon daehakkkaji dwitbarajihaetda. Songisul inneun sarameun eodi gado gumji ana.

   His future, you say. I ran a rice-cake shop for thirty years and put your husband through university. A person with skilled hands never goes hungry, wherever he goes.

   Line 8

   B 어머님, 요즘은 그때랑 달라요. 대학을 안 나오면 기회가 너무 적어요.

   Eomeonim, yojeumeun geuttaerang dallayo. Daehageul an naomyeon gihoega neomu jeogeoyo.

   Mother, times have changed. Without a degree, there are too few opportunities.

   Line 9

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 싸우지들 말고. 지호야, 네가 아무리 빵이 좋은들 성적이 바닥이면 엄마를 설득할 수 있겠냐? 막무가내로 우긴다고 되는 게 아니야.

    Ssaujideul malgo. Jihoya, nega amuri ppangi joeundeul seongjeogi badagimyeon eommareul seoldeukal su itgennya? Mangmuganaero ugindago doeneun ge aniya.

    Stop squabbling, you two. Jiho, however much you love bread, do you think you can win your mother over if your grades hit rock bottom? Digging your heels in won't get you anywhere.

    C ...아니요. 할머니 말씀이 맞아요.

    Suhageun hagwon daesin ingangeuro halgeyo. Han dare samman wonimyeon dwaeyo. Geurigo gimalgosa suhagi sam deunggeup miteuro tteoreojimyeon baro hagwon dasi galgeyo.

    I'll do maths with online lectures instead of the academy. That's only thirty thousand a month. And if my maths drops below grade three in the finals, I'll go straight back to the academy.

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 인강은 네가 안 들으면 그만이잖아. 누가 확인해?

    Ingangeun nega an deureumyeon geumanijana. Nuga hwaginhae?

    I'll pay half the baking course. You pay the other half out of your allowance. A skill you get for free, you never value.

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 어머님까지 그러시면 제가 뭐라고 해요. 근데 지호야, 이건 알아 둬. 엄마가 반대하는 건 빵이 싫어서가 아니야.

    Eomeonimkkaji geureosimyeon jega mworago haeyo. Geunde Jihoya, igeon ara dwo. Eommaga bandaehaneun geon ppangi sireoseoga aniya.

    If even you say so, Mother, what can I say? But Jiho, know this. I'm not against it because I dislike bread.

    C 알아, 엄마. 내가 나중에 후회할까 봐 그러는 거잖아.

    Aww, good boy. Mine's a red bean bun. If you want to please a rice-cake-shop grandma, you'll have to learn to make proper red bean filling first.
