   A 형, 나 다음 달에 전시회 해. 성수동에 있는 작은 카페에서.

   Hyeong, na daeum dare jeonsihoe hae. Seongsudonge inneun jageun kapeeseo.

   Minjun, I'm having an exhibition next month. At a small café in Seongsu-dong.

   B 진짜? 드디어? 축하해! 그림은 몇 점이나 걸어?

   Jinjja? Deudieo? Chukhahae! Geurimeun myeot jeomina georeo?

   Seriously? Finally! Congratulations! How many paintings are you hanging?

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 열두 점. 카페 벽이 좁아서 작은 작품만 걸 거야.

   Yeoldu jeom. Kape byeogi jobaseo jageun jakpumman geol geoya.

   Twelve. The café walls are small, so I'm only hanging small pieces.

4. 4

   B 잘됐다. 필요한 거 있으면 뭐든 말해. 그림이든 액자든 내가 차로 다 옮겨 줄게.

   Jaldwaetda. Piryohan geo isseumyeon mwodeun malhae. Geurimideun aekjadeun naega charo da omgyeo julge.

   That's great. If you need anything, just say. Paintings, frames, whatever, I'll move it all in my car.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 고마워. 사실 그게 제일 걱정이었어. 나는 차는커녕 면허도 없잖아.

   Gomawo. Sasil geuge jeil geokjeongieosseo. Naneun chaneunkeonyeong myeonheodo eopjana.

   Thanks. Honestly, that was my biggest worry. I don't even have a licence, let alone a car.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 알지. 그럼 설치하는 날만 알려 줘. 월요일이든 화요일이든 휴가 내고 갈게.

   Alji. Geureom seolchihaneun nalman allyeo jwo. Woryoirideun hwayoirideun hyuga naego galge.

   I know. Just tell me the day you're setting up. Monday, Tuesday, whenever, I'll take the day off and come.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그렇게까지 안 해도 돼. 근데 가격을 아직 못 정했어. 작은 거 하나에 30만 원이면 너무 비쌀까?

   Geureokekkaji an haedo dwae. Geunde gagyeogeul ajik mot jeonghaesseo. Jageun geo hanae 30man wonimyeon neomu bissalkka?

   You don't have to go that far. But I still haven't set my prices. Would 300,000 won for a small one be too much?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 비싸긴 뭐가 비싸. 네가 몇 주 동안 그린 거잖아. 오히려 싼 거야.

   Bissagin mwoga bissa. Nega myeot ju dongan geurin geojana. Ohiryeo ssan geoya.

   Too much? Not at all. You spent weeks on each one. If anything, it's cheap.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 그래도 하나도 안 팔리면 어떡해. 처음 하는 전시회인데.

   Geuraedo hanado an pallimyeon eotteokae. Cheoeum haneun jeonsihoeinde.

   But what if not a single one sells? It's my first show.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 걱정 마. 첫 번째 그림은 내가 살 거야. 벌써 정했어.

    Geokjeong ma. Cheot beonjjae geurimeun naega sal geoya. Beolsseo jeonghaesseo.

    Don't worry. I'm buying the first painting. I've already decided.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 에이, 형은 그냥 하나 가져가. 형이 있어서 든든한데 무슨 돈이야.

    Ei, hyeongeun geunyang hana gajyeoga. Hyeongi isseoseo deundeunhande museun doniya.

    Oh, come on, just take one. Having you around is enough. Why would I take your money?

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 안 돼. 공짜로는 절대 안 받아. 제값 다 주고 사야 진짜 첫 손님이지.

    An dwae. Gongjjaroneun jeoldae an bada. Jegap da jugo saya jinjja cheot sonnimiji.

    No way. I'm not taking one for free. I have to pay full price to be your real first customer.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 알았어, 형. 그럼 마음껏 골라. 어떤 거든 괜찮아.

    Arasseo, hyeong. Geureom maeumkkeot golla. Eotteon geodeun gwaenchana.

    Okay, fine. Then take your pick. Whichever one you like.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 그럼 개막 날 제일 먼저 가서 고를게. '판매 완료' 스티커는 내가 처음으로 붙인다.

    Geureom gaemak nal jeil meonjeo gaseo goreulge. 'Panmae wallyo' seutikeoneun naega cheoeumeuro buchinda.

    Then I'll be there first thing on opening day to choose. I'm going to be the first to stick on a 'sold' sticker.
