   A 서아야, 매니저님 문자 봤어? 이번 주는 둘 다 일요일에 나오래.

   Seoaya, maenijeonim munja bwasseo? Ibeon juneun dul da iryoire naorae.

   Seoa, did you see the manager's text? We both have to come in on Sunday this week.

   B 또? 원래 우리 토요일만 하기로 했잖아. 나 일요일에 학원 있는데.

   Tto? Wollae uri toyoilman hagiro haetjana. Na iryoire hagwon inneunde.

   Again? We agreed we'd only do Saturdays. I have a class at my academy on Sunday.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 나도 가족 모임 있어. 사람이 모자라서 어쩔 수 없대.

   Nado gajok moim isseo. Sarami mojaraseo eojjeol su eopdae.

   I have a family get-together too. Apparently they're short of people, so there's no choice.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 지난달에도 세 번이나 바꿨어. 미리 물어보지도 않고 문자 하나로 끝이야.

   Jinandaredo se beonina bakkwosseo. Miri mureobojido anko munja hanaro kkeuchiya.

   They changed it three times last month too. Without even asking first, just one text and that's it.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 그러게. 싫다고 하면 다음부터 시간을 안 준대.

   Geureoge. Siltago hamyeon daeumbuteo siganeul an jundae.

   I know. And they said if we say no, we won't get hours next time.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그건 좀 아니지. 잠깐만, 내가 알바 권리 같은 거 찾아볼게.

   Geugeon jom aniji. Jamkkanman, naega alba gwolli gateun geo chajabolge.

   That's not right. Hang on, I'll look up something like part-timers' rights.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그런 게 있어? 우리는 고등학생이잖아.

   Geureon ge isseo? Urineun godeunghaksaengijana.

   Is there such a thing? We're high-school students.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 고등학생이라도 계약서는 꼭 써야 되고, 일하는 시간도 마음대로 바꾸면 안 된대.

   Godeunghaksaengirado gyeyakseoneun kkok sseoya doego, ilhaneun sigando maeumdaero bakkumyeon an doendae.

   Even for high-school students, you have to sign a contract, and they can't change your hours however they like.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 우리 계약서 안 썼잖아. 그냥 부모님 동의서만 냈지.

   Uri gyeyakseo an sseotjana. Geunyang bumonim donguiseoman naetji.

   We never signed a contract. We just handed in our parents' consent forms.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 그러니까 더 문제지. 아르바이트생으로서 우리도 권리가 있는 거야.

    Geureonikka deo munjeji. Areubaiteusaengeuroseo urido gwolliga inneun geoya.

    That makes it even worse. As part-timers, we have rights too.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 근데 매니저님한테 따지면 잘리지 않을까?

    Geunde maenijeonimhante ttajimyeon jalliji aneulkka?

    But if we complain to the manager, won't we get fired?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 따지자는 게 아니라 부탁하는 거지. 계약서를 쓰고 시간도 미리 정해 달라고.

    Ttajijaneun ge anira butakaneun geoji. Gyeyakseoreul sseugo sigando miri jeonghae dallago.

    We're not picking a fight, we're asking. For a contract, and for our hours to be set in advance.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 혼자 가면 무서우니까 같이 말하자. 다른 알바생들한테도 같이 가자고 할까?

    Honja gamyeon museounikka gachi malhaja. Dareun albasaengdeulhantedo gachi gajago halkka?

    Going alone would be scary, so let's talk to them together. Should we ask the other part-timers to come too?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 좋아. 지수 언니도 저번에 똑같은 일 당했대.

    Joa. Jisu eonnido jeobeone ttokgateun il danghaetdae.

    Good. Jisu said the same thing happened to her last time.

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 그럼 내일 출근하자마자 셋이 같이 가자.

    Geureom naeil chulgeunhajamaja sesi gachi gaja.

    Then let's all three go together as soon as we start work tomorrow.

    Line 15

    B 응. 직원으로서 할 말은 해야지. 대신 예의 바르게 말하자.

    Eung. Jigwoneuroseo hal mareun haeyaji. Daesin yeui bareuge malhaja.

    Yeah. As staff, we should say what needs saying. But let's say it politely.
