   B 아버지가 허리가 안 좋으셔서 이제 무거운 고기를 못 나르셔. 사십 년 된 가게니까 문 닫기는 아깝고.

   Abeojiga heoriga an joeusyeoseo ije mugeoun gogireul mot nareusyeo. Sasip nyeon doen gagenikka mun datgineun akkapgo.

   Dad's back is bad, so he can't carry heavy meat anymore. And it's a forty-year-old shop, so it'd be a shame to close it.

   Ani, ajik. Geunde abeoji eolgureul bomyeon geojeolhallaeya geojeolhal suga eopseo.

   No, not yet. But when I see his face, I couldn't say no even if I tried.

   B 둘 다야. 솔직히 고기 써는 건 어릴 때부터 봐서 자신 있어. 근데 이게 평생 할 일인지는 모르겠어.

   Dul daya. Soljiki gogi sseoneun geon eoril ttaebuteo bwaseo jasin isseo. Geunde ige pyeongsaeng hal irinjineun moreugesseo.

   Both. Honestly, I've watched him cut meat since I was a kid, so I know I can do it. But I don't know if it's what I want to do for the rest of my life.

    If you ask me, whether you do it or not, it's your call. If you go just for your dad's sake, it'll be hard on both of you.

    B 그건 알지. 근데 요즘 동네 정육점은 손님이 많이 줄었어. 그것도 걱정이야.

    Geugeon alji. Geunde yojeum dongne jeongyukjeomeun sonnimi mani jureosseo. Geugeotdo geokjeongiya.

    I know that. But neighbourhood butcher shops have lost a lot of customers lately. That worries me too.

    Line 12

    A 너 회사에서 마케팅 하잖아. 온라인으로 팔든지 가게를 새롭게 꾸미든지, 네가 할 수 있는 게 많을 것 같은데.

    Neo hoesaeseo maketing hajana. Ollaineuro paldeunji gagereul saeropge kkumideunji, nega hal su inneun ge maneul geot gateunde.
