동백: 그렇게 구구절절 말씀 안 해주셔도 돼요.

You don’t have to explain every single word. 

용식: 예?

What?

동백: 제가 옛날 옛날부터 깨달은 제 인생의 진리가 딱 하나 있는데요,

동백이를 누가 좋아해. 누가 저를 좋아하겠어요.

There’s one truth in life that I’ve realized since I young. Who would like Dong-baek? Who would like me?

용식: 제가 좋아하잖아요, 제가요.

I like you. I do. 

동백: 아니야, 우리가 무슨 사이도 아니었고요. 우리 필구가 나 같은 여자 좋대도... 싫죠. 근데 제가 이런 게 너무 익숙해서 대츠 오케이에요. 그냥 그냥 또... 그러려니 하면 돼요, 용식 씨. 

No, nothing happened between us. If Pil-gu liked a woman like me…I wouldn’t be happy. But I’m really used to this sort of thing, so that’s okay. I can just brush it off, like nothing happened.
