Expression of the Week

Cindy： 읽어봐. 귀척하기는 그 다음에?

거르지 말고.

Read it. What’s after “she’s acting all cute?”

Don’t leave anything out. 

Manager：혼자 하면 돈 될 것 같냐. 넌 이제 신디가 아니라 돈디야.

“Do you think you’ll make money if you work alone? You’re not Cindy, you’re Money-D.”

Cindy：계속해.

Continue. 

Manager：그만하자, 내가 힘들어서 그래.

Let’s stop. It’s hard on me. 

Cindy：힘들어?

Hard on you?

Manager：힘들지.

Of course.
