Heard in a conversation
Iced americano in January
Yuna 오늘 칼퇴했어? 불금인데 뭐 해?
Did you get off right on time today? It's Friday night, what are you doing?
Doyun 맛집 찾았어. 존맛이래. 혼밥하기 싫은데 같이 갈래?
I found a great place to eat. They say it's crazy delicious. I don't want to eat alone, want to come?
Yuna 콜. 근데 내돈내산 후기였어? 광고면 노답이야.
Deal. But was it an honest review, bought with their own money? If it's an ad, it's hopeless.
