Ok-bun, I’m going out later to exchange something at the department store. What about calling the kids and having lunch together since we’ll be heading out? They’re nearby.  

Ok-bun : 그래도 될까? 애들 바쁠 텐데.

Do you think it’ll be okay? The kids will be busy.

Yoon-jeong : 바빠도 밥은 먹겠지. 밥 시간이 딱 정해져 있는데 뭐.

They’ll have to eat even if they’re busy. They have a set time for lunch. 

Ok-bun : 그럼 그럴까? 진짜로 그래도 돼?

Shall we then? Do you really think it’ll be okay? 

Yoon-jeong : 되지, 그럼.

Of course, it’s okay.
