정자: 생각할수록 후회된다. 내가 왜 모셔오란 말을 했을까! 아휴, 입이 방정이지. 지금이라도 취소해?
The more I think about it, the more I regret it. Why did I tell her to bring them? Me and my big mouth! Should I cancel now? 
정자: 어, 왔냐?
Oh, are you here? 
수정: 다녀왔습니다.
I’m back. 
정자: 뭐야? 저게 다야? 와, 진짜 후회된다. 지금도 저런데 지 엄마 오면 나한테 관심이나 있겠어?
What? Is that it? Wow, I’m really regretting it. If she’s like this now, will she even care about me once her mother comes?
