Wedding proposal -- the Ki-ju style! (loose translation by me!)
KJ: Kang Tae Young!
TY: What are you doing there?
KJ: Get off!
TY: What?
KJ: Get off the bus!
TY: But... but... the bus is still moving, how do I get off?
KJ: Just get off!
TY: I can't. Just go. Go.
This is so embarassing, just go!
KJ: Get off! Get off!
TY: Just go!
Go back to work!
KJ: Uncle, stop! Wait for me!
TY: OMG! He's crazy!
KJ: Come.
TY: What are you doing?
KJ: I have something to tell you, come with me.
Driver: Excuse me, you have not pay for your bus fares.
KJ: Hey, aren't you getting off the bus?
TY: I've said we can talk later.
Driver: That gentleman in suit, please pay for your bus fares.
KJ: Are you really not alighting? If you're not then help me pay for the fares.
TY: Huh?
KJ: I don't have a bus card.
TY: This is...
KJ: I have something to tell you.
TY: I told you I'm not in the mood today.
KJ: I fully understand, but I have to say it now.
TY: Really, why are you acting like a kid? Others are looking at us, it's so embarassing.
KJ: So we should get off the bus.
TY: No! I've paid for the both of us, so I'm not getting off.
KJ: You're weird.
Old woman: Ouch, my back... My legs are aching too... Ouch my back...
KJ: What?
Old woman: Why are my legs hurting as well...
KJ: Oh, please have a seat.
I really do have something important to tell you.
TY: Say it here then.
KJ: How do I say it here?
TY: Then wait till next time. I just want to get home on this bus!
KJ: You're really weird.
Passenger: Young men like you shouldn't be snatching seats from us.
KJ: Sorry..
Is it still very far? Why don't we alight here and take a cab instead? Is it still very far?
Old woman: I'm alighting. Move away!
KJ: I finally got a seat.
TY: Oh, we're here! Uncle, stop! I'm alighting!
KJ: Stop
TY: What is it that you wish to tell me? Let's hear.
KJ: I don't think I should say it just like this.
TY: You won't say it on the bus, and you still won't say it now. What do you want me to do? What exactly do you want to tell me?
KJ: Let's live together.
You don't have to worry much. Let's not drag this problem, and get it over and done with today. If you find this hard, I'll give you choices, I've thought about it on the bus.
1. When you say YES, we'll get married right away.
2. When you say NO, I'll try to make you say YES, and we'll get married right away.
3. When you say you need time to consider, I'll give you 1 day, then we'll get married right away.
Choose one...
Relax, take your time. YES or NO? Oh no, number 1, 2, or 3? Do you want to marry me?
TY: I... I... I'll choose number 4.
KJ: There's no number 4.
TY: There is! YES, but we're not getting married.
KJ: What?
TY: We're not getting married yet. We should get engaged first. I've suffered a lot, so make sure you make it grand, ok?
KJ: So your answer is YES?
TY: Yeah... Engagement, then marriage. We'll do it all.
KJ: So, we're getting engaged. Are you sure?
TY: Yes, of course! It's no big deal. I mean, man and woman meet, fall in love, get engaged, marry, and have kids, ar... no, not kids... whatever it is, I mean, is Han Ki Ju that special? Why is loving you so difficult?
KJ: You've given your word, you have to keep your promise.
TY: Sure. But.. hang on.. I can never match your standard, so you'll have to lower yours to match mine. Ok?
Auntie: Do it, you're a man.
Uncle: She'll be able to match yours after marriage anyway, so just agree first.
KJ: They are all looking at us.
TY: Yes.. So answer quickly and we can go.
KJ: Whatever it is, you've agreed to an engagement?
TY: Yes...
KJ: Ok, I'll do my best...
