1. 1

   B 여보, 오늘 가게 앞을 지나가는데, 떡볶이집에 처음 보는 젊은 사람이 있더라. 박 사장은 안 보이고.

   Yeobo, oneul gage apeul jinaganeunde, tteokbokkijibe cheoeum boneun jeolmeun sarami itdeora. Bak sajangeun an boigo.

   Honey, I walked past the shop today, and there was a young man I'd never seen in the tteokbokki place. Mr. Park was nowhere to be seen.

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 아르바이트생 쓴 거겠지.

   Areubaiteusaeng sseun geogetji.

   He must have hired a part-timer.

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 나도 그런 줄 알았는데, 물어보니까 자기가 사장이래. 박 사장한테 한 달에 이백만 원씩 주고 가게를 빌렸대.

   Nado geureon jul aranneunde, mureobonikka jagiga sajangirae. Bak sajanghante han dare ibaengman wonssik jugo gagereul billyeotdae.

   That's what I thought too, but when I asked, he said he's the owner. He said he pays Mr. Park two million won a month for the shop.

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 뭐? 우리 가게를 또 남한테 세를 줬다고? 그건 전대잖아.

   Mwo? Uri gagereul tto namhante sereul jwotdago? Geugeon jeondaejana.

   What? He's rented our shop out to someone else? That's subletting.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 계약서에 그런 거 하면 안 된다고 쓰여 있지 않아?

   Gyeyakseoe geureon geo hamyeon an doendago sseuyeo itji ana?

   Doesn't the contract say he can't do that?

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 있을 거야... 아마.

   Isseul geoya... ama.

   It should... probably.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 아마? 작년에 재계약할 때 새로 들어간 조항 있었잖아. 그거 안 읽었어?

   Ama? Jangnyeone jaegyeyakal ttae saero deureogan johang isseotjana. Geugeo an ilgeosseo?

   Probably? There was a new clause added when you renewed last year. Didn't you read it?

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 사실은... 꼼꼼히 읽는다는 게 중개인이 빨리 하자고 재촉하는 바람에 그냥 도장을 찍어 버렸어.

   Sasireun... kkomkkomhi ingneundaneun ge junggaeini ppalli hajago jaechokaneun barame geunyang dojangeul jjigeo beoryeosseo.

   Well, actually... I meant to read it carefully, but the estate agent kept hurrying me, so I just stamped it.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 아이고, 내가 못 살아. 얼른 계약서부터 찾아와 봐.

   Aigo, naega mot sara. Eolleun gyeyakseobuteo chajawa bwa.

   Good grief, you'll be the death of me. Go and find the contract, quick.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 여기 있다. 제칠조, "임차인은 임대인의 서면 동의 없이 전대할 수 없다."

    Yeogi itda. Jechiljo, "imchaineun imdaeinui seomyeon dongui eopsi jeondaehal su eopda."

    Here it is. Article 7: "The tenant may not sublet without the landlord's written consent."

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 거 봐, 세입자가 우리한테 동의를 안 받았잖아. 명백한 계약 위반이야.

    Geo bwa, seipjaga urihante donguireul an badatjana. Myeongbaekan gyeyak wibaniya.

    See? The tenant never got our consent. That's a clear breach of contract.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 근데 생각해 보니까, 지난봄에 박 사장이 가게를 좀 쉬어야겠다고 해서 내가 "알아서 해" 그랬거든.

    Geunde saenggakae bonikka, jinanbome bak sajangi gagereul jom swieoyagetdago haeseo naega "araseo hae" geuraetgeodeun.

    But now that I think about it, last spring Mr. Park said he needed a break from the shop, and I told him, "Do what you like."

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 그게 동의야? 그 말 한마디 듣고 남한테 가게를 넘긴 거야?

    Geuge donguiya? Geu mal hanmadi deutgo namhante gagereul neomgin geoya?

    That's consent? He handed our shop to someone else on the strength of that one remark?

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 서면 동의가 아니니까 우리가 유리하긴 할 거야. 근데 박 사장은 그걸 허락으로 들었을 수도 있지.

    Seomyeon donguiga aninikka uriga yurihagin hal geoya. Geunde bak sajangeun geugeol heorageuro deureosseul sudo itji.

    It wasn't written consent, so we probably have the upper hand. But Mr. Park may have taken it as permission.

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 그러니까 계약서를 읽었어야지. 조항이 분명히 있음에도 불구하고 말 한마디 때문에 일이 복잡해졌잖아.

    Geureonikka gyeyakseoreul ilgeosseoyaji. Johangi bunmyeonghi isseumedo bulguhago mal hanmadi ttaemune iri bokjapaejyeotjana.

    That's why you should have read the contract. The clause is right there, and yet one careless remark has made everything complicated.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 미안해. 그래도 바로 소송부터 걸면 박 사장이랑 원수 되는 거야. 십 년 넘게 우리 가게를 지켜 준 사람인데.

    Mianhae. Geuraedo baro sosongbuteo geolmyeon bak sajangirang wonsu doeneun geoya. Sip nyeon neomge uri gagereul jikyeo jun saraminde.

    I'm sorry. But if we go straight to court, we'll make an enemy of Mr. Park. He's looked after our shop for over ten years.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 그럼 먼저 만나서 해명부터 들어 보자. 전화로 하지 말고 직접 가서. 무슨 말을 하는지 녹음도 해 두고.

    Geureom meonjeo mannaseo haemyeongbuteo deureo boja. Jeonhwaro haji malgo jikjeop gaseo. Museun mareul haneunji nogeumdo hae dugo.

    Then let's meet him first and hear his explanation. In person, not over the phone. And let's record what he says.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 그래. 지금 들어와 있는 젊은 사람은 무슨 죄야. 우리 계약서는 보지도 못한 채로 보증금까지 냈을 텐데.

    Geurae. Jigeum deureowa inneun jeolmeun sarameun museun joeya. Uri gyeyakseoneun bojido motan chaero bojeunggeumkkaji naesseul tende.

    All right. And what did that young man do wrong? He probably paid a deposit and everything without ever seeing our contract.

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 그 사람 사정도 들어 보자고. 말이 안 통하면 그때 변호사한테 가자. 그리고 이번엔 서류 전부 내가 읽을 거야.

    Geu saram sajeongdo deureo bojago. Mari an tonghamyeon geuttae byeonhosahante gaja. Geurigo ibeonen seoryu jeonbu naega ilgeul geoya.

    Let's hear his side too. If we can't get through to them, then we'll see a lawyer. And this time, I'm reading all the paperwork.

    Line 19
