1. 1

   A 아직 안 자? 벌써 자정 넘었는데 누구랑 그렇게 문자를 해?

   Ajik an ja? Beolsseo jajeong neomeonneunde nugurang geureoke munjareul hae?

   You're still up? It's past midnight. Who are you texting like that?

   Line 1
2. 2

   B 팀장님. 내일 회의 자료 좀 고쳐 달라셔.

   Timjangnim. Naeil hoeui jaryo jom gochyeo dallasyeo.

   My team leader. He wants me to fix the materials for tomorrow's meeting.

   Line 2
3. 3

   A 이 시간에? 너희 회사 퇴근 후에는 업무 연락 금지라며.

   I sigane? Neohui hoesa toegeun hueneun eommu yeollak geumjiramyeo.

   At this hour? I thought your company banned work messages after hours.

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 금지 맞아. 규정이 있는데도 계속 보내셔. 본인은 "내일 봐도 돼" 하시는데, 그 말을 누가 믿어.

   Geumji maja. Gyujeongi inneundedo gyesok bonaesyeo. Bonineun "naeil bwado dwae" hasineunde, geu mareul nuga mideo.

   It is banned. He keeps sending them even though there's a rule. He says, "You can look at it tomorrow," but who believes that?

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 그럼 그냥 못 본 척하고 자. 아침에 보면 되잖아.

   Geureom geunyang mot bon cheokago ja. Achime bomyeon doejana.

   Then just pretend you didn't see it and go to sleep. You can look at it in the morning.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 그게 안 돼. 내가 읽으면 옆에 숫자 1이 없어지거든. 읽었는데도 답을 안 하면 무시하는 걸로 보여.

   Geuge an dwae. Naega ilgeumyeon yeope sutja 1i eopseojigeodeun. Ilgeonneundedo dabeul an hamyeon musihaneun geollo boyeo.

   I can't. When I read it, the little 1 next to it disappears. If I've read it and don't answer, it looks like I'm ignoring him.

   Line 6
7. 7

   A 그럼 안 읽으면 되지.

   Geureom an ilgeumyeon doeji.

   Then don't read it.

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 알림에 내용이 다 떠서 안 읽은 척하기도 애매해. 게다가 다른 팀원들은 벌써 답장했어.

   Allime naeyongi da tteoseo an ilgeun cheokagido aemaehae. Gedaga dareun timwondeureun beolsseo dapjanghaesseo.

   The whole message shows up in the notification, so pretending I haven't read it is awkward too. Plus, everyone else on the team has already replied.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 다들 잘 시간인데도 답장을 한다고? 초과 근무 수당도 안 나오잖아.

   Dadeul jal siganindedo dapjangeul handago? Chogwa geunmu sudangdo an naojana.

   They're all replying even though it's bedtime? And you don't even get overtime pay.

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 다들 신입 때부터 그렇게 해 와서 습관이 됐어. 나만 늦게 답하면 눈치 보이고.

    Dadeul sinip ttaebuteo geureoke hae waseo seupgwani dwaesseo. Naman neutge dapamyeon nunchi boigo.

    They've all done it since they were new, so it's become a habit. If I'm the only one who answers late, I feel awkward.

    Line 10
11. 11

    A 엄마 때는 퇴근하면 그걸로 끝이었는데. 아무리 상사라도 밤에는 좀 쉬게 해 줘야지.

    Eomma ttaeneun toegeunhamyeon geugeollo kkeuchieonneunde. Amuri sangsarado bameneun jom swige hae jwoyaji.

    In my day, once you left the office, that was it. Boss or not, he should let people rest at night.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 나도 알아. 근데 팀장님이 나쁜 분은 아니야. 본인도 밤늦게까지 일하시느라 그러시는 거야. 그래서 더 말하기가 어려워.

    Nado ara. Geunde timjangnimi nappeun buneun aniya. Bonindo bamneutgekkaji ilhasineura geureosineun geoya. Geuraeseo deo malhagiga eoryeowo.

    I know. But he's not a bad person. He does it because he's working late himself. That's what makes it harder to say anything.

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 그러니까 더 말을 해야지. 싫은데도 참기만 하면 계속 그렇게 흘러가는 거야. 요즘 너 스트레스 때문에 불면증까지 생겼잖아.

    Geureonikka deo mareul haeyaji. Sireundedo chamgiman hamyeon gyesok geureoke heulleoganeun geoya. Yojeum neo seuteureseu ttaemune bulmyeonjeungkkaji saenggyeotjana.

    That's exactly why you need to say something. If you just put up with it even though you hate it, it'll keep going like this. The stress has even given you insomnia lately.

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 뭐라고 해? "밤에는 연락하지 마세요" 이럴 순 없잖아.

    Mworago hae? "Bameneun yeollakaji maseyo" ireol sun eopjana.

    What do I say? I can't exactly go, "Please don't contact me at night."

    Line 14
15. 15

    A 누가 그렇게 쓰래? 정중하게 쓰면 돼. 같이 써 볼까?

    Nuga geureoke sseurae? Jeongjunghage sseumyeon dwae. Gachi sseo bolkka?

    Who said to write it like that? Just be polite about it. Shall we write it together?

    Line 15
16. 16

    B 음... "팀장님, 늦은 시간이라 내일 아침 아홉 시까지 수정해서 드리겠습니다." 이 정도?

    Eum... "timjangnim, neujeun siganira naeil achim ahop sikkaji sujeonghaeseo deurigetseumnida." I jeongdo?

    Hmm... "Since it's late, I'll have the revisions to you by nine tomorrow morning." Something like that?

    Line 16
17. 17

    A 좋네. 거기에 "앞으로 퇴근 후에 온 메시지는 다음 날 아침에 확인하겠습니다" 한 줄만 더 넣어.

    Jonne. Geogie "apeuro toegeun hue on mesijineun daeum nal achime hwaginhagetseumnida" han julman deo neoeo.

    Good. Add one more line: "From now on, I'll check messages sent after hours the next morning."

    Line 17
18. 18

    B 너무 딱딱하지 않을까? 팀장님이 서운해하시면 어떡해.

    Neomu ttakttakaji aneulkka? Timjangnimi seounhaehasimyeon eotteokae.

    Isn't that too stiff? What if he's hurt?

    Line 18
19. 19

    A 서운하셔도 할 수 없지. 규정대로 하는 거잖아. 보내고 휴대폰 뒤집어 놓고 자.

    Seounhasyeodo hal su eopji. Gyujeongdaero haneun geojana. Bonaego hyudaepon dwijibeo noko ja.

    Then that can't be helped. You're just following the rules. Send it, turn your phone face down and go to sleep.

    Line 19
20. 20

    B 보냈다. 어... 벌써 읽으셨네.

    Bonaetda. Eo... beolsseo ilgeusyeonne.

    Sent. Oh... He's already read it.

    Line 20
21. 21

    A 거 봐, 본인도 아직 안 주무시잖아.

    Geo bwa, bonindo ajik an jumusijana.

    See? He's not asleep either.
