   A 어, 하준이 왔네. 오늘은 왜 이렇게 조용해? 평소엔 들어오자마자 떠들더니.

   Eo, hajuni wanne. Oneureun wae ireoke joyonghae? Pyeongsoen deureoojamaja tteodeuldeoni.

   Oh, Hajun's here. Why so quiet today? Usually you start chattering the second you walk in.

   B 네. 준서 아빠가 회사를 옮기는 바람에 지난주에 갑자기 전학 갔어요. 인사도 제대로 못 했어요.

   Ne. Junseo appaga hoesareul omgineun barame jinanjue gapjagi jeonhak gasseoyo. Insado jedaero mot haesseoyo.

   Yes. Junseo's dad changed jobs, so he suddenly switched schools last week. I couldn't even say a proper goodbye.

   School feels lonely and sad now. My brother says that once you're far apart, you forget everything.

   A 아저씨 생각은 달라. 서로 연락하는 한, 친구는 계속 친구야. 그런 인연은 쉽게 안 끊어져.

   Ajeossi saenggageun dalla. Seoro yeollakaneun han, chinguneun gyesok chinguya. Geureon inyeoneun swipge an kkeuneojyeo.

   I don't think so. As long as you keep in touch, a friend stays a friend. A bond like that doesn't break easily.

    Ajeossido chodeunghakgyo ttae chingurang ajikdo yeollakageodeun. Saneun goseun meoreodo maeumeun an meoreo.

    Because I still keep in touch with a friend from primary school. We live far apart, but we're still close.

    Just write what you want to say. That you miss him, and that he should come and visit in the holidays.

    Line 13

    A 좋은 선택이다. 우표는 아저씨가 붙여 줄게. 이렇게 편지를 주고받는 한, 준서도 너를 절대 안 잊을 거야.

    Joeun seontaegida. Upyoneun ajeossiga buchyeo julge. Ireoke pyeonjireul jugobanneun han, Junseodo neoreul jeoldae an ijeul geoya.

    Good choice. I'll put the stamp on for you. As long as you two keep writing like this, Junseo will never forget you.
