   A 민재야, 병원 결과 나왔어? 단톡방에 답이 없길래 다들 걱정했잖아.

   Minjaeya, byeongwon gyeolgwa nawasseo? Dantokbange dabi eopgillae dadeul geokjeonghaetjana.

   Minjae, are your hospital results back? You didn't answer in the group chat, so we were all worried.

2. 2

   B 미안, 이것저것 검사받느라 진땀 뺐어. 다행히 심장은 아무 이상 없대.

   Mian, igeotjeogeot geomsabanneura jinttam ppaesseo. Dahaenghi simjangeun amu isang eopdae.

   Sorry, I was sweating through test after test. Luckily, there's nothing wrong with my heart.

   Line 2
3. 3

   C 진짜? 다행이다! 그럼 가슴은 왜 그렇게 아팠던 거야?

   Jinjja? Dahaengida! Geureom gaseumeun wae geureoke apatdeon geoya?

   Really? What a relief! Then why did your chest hurt so much?

   Line 3
4. 4

   B 진단명이 역류성 식도염이래. 위산이 식도로 올라와서 가슴이 타는 것처럼 아픈 거래.

   Jindanmyeongi yeongnyuseong sikdoyeomirae. Wisani sikdoro ollawaseo gaseumi taneun geotcheoreom apeun georae.

   The diagnosis is acid reflux. Stomach acid comes up into your oesophagus, so your chest hurts like it's burning.

   Line 4
5. 5

   A 네가 가슴을 움켜쥐길래 난 심장마비인 줄 알았어. 응급실 갈 뻔했잖아.

   Nega gaseumeul umkyeojwigillae nan simjangmabiin jul arasseo. Eunggeupsil gal ppeonhaetjana.

   You were clutching your chest, so I thought it was a heart attack. We nearly went to A&E.

   Line 5
6. 6

   B 나도 그런 줄 알았어. 의사 선생님 말로는 증상은 비슷해도 원인은 완전히 다르대.

   Nado geureon jul arasseo. Uisa seonsaengnim malloneun jeungsangeun biseutaedo wonineun wanjeonhi dareudae.

   So did I. The doctor said the symptoms are similar, but the cause is completely different.

   Line 6
7. 7

   C 원인이 뭔데? 스트레스?

   Wonini mwonde? Seuteureseu?

   What's the cause? Stress?

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 그것도 있고, 제일 큰 건 식습관이래. 밤늦게 먹고 바로 눕는 거, 그리고 커피 하루 네 잔.

   Geugeotdo itgo, jeil keun geon sikseupgwanirae. Bamneutge meokgo baro numneun geo, geurigo keopi haru ne jan.

   That's part of it, but the biggest thing is my eating habits. Eating late at night and lying down right after, and four cups of coffee a day.

   Line 8
9. 9

   A 잠깐, 밤늦게 먹는 거면... 우리 목요일 치킨 모임 얘기야?

   Jamkkan, bamneutge meongneun geomyeon... uri mogyoil chikin moim yaegiya?

   Wait, eating late at night... You mean our Thursday chicken nights?

   Line 9
10. 10

    B 응. 기름진 음식이랑 야식은 당분간 무조건 끊으래. 카페인도 줄이고.

    Eung. Gireumjin eumsigirang yasigeun dangbungan mujogeon kkeuneurae. Kapeindo jurigo.

    Yeah. I've been told to cut out greasy food and late-night snacks completely for now. And less caffeine.

    Line 10
11. 11

    C 말도 안 돼. 삼 년 동안 한 번도 안 빠진 전통인데.

    Maldo an dwae. Sam nyeon dongan han beondo an ppajin jeontonginde.

    No way. It's a tradition we haven't missed once in three years.

    Line 11
12. 12

    B 할머니도 소식 듣자마자 문자 보내셨어. "야식 먹지 말고 일찍 자거라. 할미가 다 안다."

    Halmeonido sosik deutjamaja munja bonaesyeosseo. "Yasik meokji malgo iljjik jageora. Halmiga da anda."

    Grandma texted me the moment she heard. "No late-night snacks, and go to bed early. Grandma knows everything."

    Line 12
13. 13

    A 하하, 할머니 말씀이 제일 무섭다. 약은 받았어?

    Haha, halmeoni malsseumi jeil museopda. Yageun badasseo?

    Ha, Grandma's orders are the scariest. Did you get medicine?

    Line 13
14. 14

    B 한 달 치 받았어. 잘 지키면 완치될 수 있는데, 안 그러면 자꾸 재발한대. 커피도 하루 한 잔으로 줄여야 돼.

    Han dal chi badasseo. Jal jikimyeon wanchidoel su inneunde, an geureomyeon jakku jaebalhandae. Keopido haru han janeuro juryeoya dwae.

    I got a month's worth. If I stick to the rules, it can clear up completely, but if I don't, it keeps coming back. I have to cut down to one cup of coffee a day, too.

    Line 14
15. 15

    C 그럼 목요일 모임은 어떡하지? 치킨 없는 목요일은 상상이 안 되는데.

    Geureom mogyoil moimeun eotteokaji? Chikin eomneun mogyoireun sangsangi an doeneunde.

    Then what do we do about Thursdays? I can't imagine a Thursday without chicken.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 시간을 바꾸면 되지. 밤 열 시 말고 저녁 일곱 시에 모이고, 치킨 대신 샤브샤브 어때? 기름기도 적고.

    Siganeul bakkumyeon doeji. Bam yeol si malgo jeonyeok ilgop sie moigo, chikin daesin syabeusyabeu eottae? Gireumgido jeokgo.

    We just change the time. Let's meet at seven in the evening instead of ten at night, and how about shabu-shabu instead of chicken? It's less greasy, too.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 좋아. 그리고 먹고 나서 한강까지 걷자. 할머니 말씀대로 "일찍 자거라"도 지키고.

    Joa. Geurigo meokgo naseo Hangangkkaji geotja. Halmeoni malsseumdaero "iljjik jageora"do jikigo.

    Sounds good. And let's walk to the Han River after we eat. That way I'll also follow Grandma's rule: "Go to bed early."

    Line 17
18. 18

    C 오, 민재가 건강 전도사가 됐네. 대신 다 나으면 치킨은 네가 한 번 쏴.

    O, Minjaega geongang jeondosaga dwaenne. Daesin da naeumyeon chikineun nega han beon sswa.

    Oh, Minjae's turned into a health preacher. But once you're better, you're buying us chicken.
