   A 선배, 부탁 하나만 드려도 돼요? 고객한테 보낼 이메일 좀 봐 주세요.

   Seonbae, butak hanaman deuryeodo dwaeyo? Gogaekante bonael imeil jom bwa juseyo.

   Taemin, can I ask you a favour? Could you take a look at an email I need to send a client?

   B 어, 뭔데? 그 화장품 회사 브로슈어 건이야?

   Eo, mwonde? Geu hwajangpum hoesa Beurosyueo geoniya?

   Sure, what is it? Is this the cosmetics company brochure?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 네, 이렇게 왔어요. "기존 시안은 색감도 어둡거니와 브랜드 이미지와도 맞지 않습니다. 3일 안에 새로 부탁드립니다."

   Ne, ireoke wasseoyo. "Gijon sianeun saekgamdo eodupgeoniwa beuraendeu imijiwado matji anseumnida. 3il ane saero butakdeurimnida."

   Yes. Here's what they wrote: "The current draft is not only too dark but also inconsistent with our brand image. We would like a new version within three days."

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 3일? 그건 거의 새로 만드는 거잖아. 추가 요금 얘기는 했어?

   3il? Geugeon geoui saero mandeuneun geojana. Chuga yogeum yaegineun haesseo?

   Three days? That's basically making a new one. Did you bring up an extra fee?

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 그게... 말을 못 꺼내겠어요. 괜히 돈 얘기했다가 일이 끊기면 어떡해요?

   Geuge... mareul mot kkeonaegesseoyo. Gwaenhi don yaegihaetdaga iri kkeunkimyeon eotteokaeyo?

   Well... I can't bring myself to say it. What if I mention money and the work dries up?

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 야, 그건 당연히 받아야 되는 돈이야. 기간도 짧고 수정도 벌써 세 번째잖아.

   Ya, geugeon dangyeonhi badaya doeneun doniya. Gigando jjalgo sujeongdo beolsseo se beonjjaejana.

   Hey, that's money you're obviously owed. The deadline's short, and this is already the third round of changes.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그렇긴 하죠. 근데 제가 괜히 욕심을 부리는 것 같아서요.

   Geureokin hajyo. Geunde jega gwaenhi yoksimeul burineun geot gataseoyo.

   That's true. But I feel like I'm just being greedy.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 욕심 아니야. 우리는 일한 만큼 받을 뿐이야. 이메일은 나랑 같이 쓰자.

   Yoksim aniya. Urineun ilhan mankeum badeul ppuniya. Imeireun narang gachi sseuja.

   It's not greed. We're only asking to be paid for the work we do. Let's write the email together.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 정말요? 그저 감사할 따름이에요. 첫 문장은 어떻게 시작하면 좋을까요?

   Jeongmaryo? Geujeo gamsahal ttareumieyo. Cheot munjangeun eotteoke sijakamyeon joeulkkayo?

   Really? I can't thank you enough. How should I start the first sentence?

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 이렇게 써 봐. "요청하신 수정은 작업량도 많거니와 기간도 짧아 추가 요금이 발생합니다." 사실만 쓰면 돼.

    Ireoke sseo bwa. "Yocheonghasin sujeongeun jageomnyangdo mankeoniwa gigando jjalba chuga yogeumi balsaenghamnida." Sasilman sseumyeon dwae.

    Write it like this: "The changes you requested involve a large amount of work and a short timeline, so an additional fee will apply." Just state the facts.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 오, 이렇게 쓰니까 훨씬 덜 미안하네요. 금액은 20% 정도 더 받으면 될까요?

    O, ireoke sseunikka hwolssin deol mianhaneyo. Geumaegeun 20% jeongdo deo badeumyeon doelkkayo?

    Oh, put like that it feels much less awkward. Should I ask for about 20% more?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 30%로 해. 주말에도 일해야 되잖아. 돈 얘기는 당당하게 하는 거야.

    30%ro hae. Jumaredo ilhaeya doejana. Don yaegineun dangdanghage haneun geoya.

    Make it 30%. You'll have to work through the weekend. When it comes to money, you ask with confidence.
