누나, 빨래방 사연함에 사연이 벌써 다섯 장이나 들어왔어요. 이제 접수 규정만 정하면 돼요.

준호야, 규정은 내가 초안을 써 왔어. 한번 들어 봐. ‘사연 접수는 누구에게나 열어 두되, 이름과 연락처를 반드시 받는다.’
Junho, I've brought a draft of the rules. Listen. 'Stories are open to anyone, provided that a name and contact details are given.'

‘열어 두되’요? 말할 때는 잘 안 쓰는 말 같아요, 수진 씨.
'Provided that'? That sounds like something people don't say out loud, Sujin.
