   C 괜찮아요. 바로 말할게요. 요즘 주변 건물들이 다 월세를 올려서, 저도 10만 원은 올려야 할 것 같아요.

   Gwaenchanayo. Baro malhalgeyo. Yojeum jubyeon geonmuldeuri da wolsereul ollyeoseo, jeodo 10man woneun ollyeoya hal geot gatayo.

   I'm fine. I'll get straight to it. All the buildings around here have raised their rents lately, so I think I'll need to raise yours by a hundred thousand won.

   A 위층에서 석 달 동안 공사를 해 대서 손님이 절반으로 줄었어요.

   Wicheungeseo seok dal dongan gongsareul hae daeseo sonnimi jeolbaneuro jureosseoyo.

   B 드릴 소리가 하루 종일 울려 대니까 예약 손님들이 중간에 나가시기도 했어요.

   Deuril soriga haru jongil ullyeo daenikka yeyak sonnimdeuri junggane nagasigido haesseoyo.

   The drilling rang out all day long, so some clients with bookings even walked out halfway.

   C 소음이 그렇게 심했어요? 저는 몰랐네요.

    B 소연아, 장부 좀 보여 드려. 사장님, 보세요. 작년이랑 비교하면 이렇게 차이가 나요.

    Soyeona, jangbu jom boyeo deuryeo. Sajangnim, boseyo. Jangnyeonirang bigyohamyeon ireoke chaiga nayo.

    Soyeon, show him the books. Here, have a look. Compared with last year, you can see the difference.

    C 흠, 이 정도인 줄은 몰랐어요. 공사 건은 저한테도 책임이 좀 있네요.

    Heum, i jeongdoin jureun mollasseoyo. Gongsa geoneun jeohantedo chaegimi jom inneyo.

    Hmm, I didn't know it was this bad. I suppose I'm partly responsible for the construction.

    A 저희도 여기서 계속 장사하고 싶어요. 그러니까 올리시더라도 조금만 올려 주세요.

    Jeohuido yeogiseo gyesok jangsahago sipeoyo. Geureonikka ollisideorado jogeumman ollyeo juseyo.

    We want to keep running our business here too. So even if you raise it, please only raise it a little.

    Line 12

    C 그럼 5만 원만 올리는 걸로 하죠. 대신 계약은 2년으로 합시다.

    Geureom 5man wonman ollineun geollo hajyo. Daesin gyeyageun 2nyeoneuro hapsida.

    Then let's make it fifty thousand. In return, let's make the lease two years.

    B 소연아, 어때? 2년이면 오히려 우리한테도 좋지 않아?

    Soyeona, eottae? 2nyeonimyeon ohiryeo urihantedo jochi ana?

    Soyeon, what do you think? Two years is actually good for us too, isn't it?

    C 계약서는 다음 주에 쓰죠. 근데 온 김에 제 손톱도 좀 봐 줄 수 있어요? 딸 결혼식이 이번 토요일이라서요.

    Gyeyakseoneun daeum jue sseujyo. Geunde on gime je sontopdo jom bwa jul su isseoyo? Ttal gyeolhonsigi ibeon toyoiriraseoyo.

    Let's sign the new contract next week. But while I'm here, could you take a look at my nails? My daughter's getting married this Saturday.
