호야 씨, 이게 공사하는 동안 쓴 회의록이에요? 생각보다 두툼하네요.

Hoya, is this the minutes you kept while the work was going on? It's thicker than I thought.
네. 회의 때마다 발언 요지하고 결정 사항을 적었어요. 오늘은 다 같이 읽으면서 빠진 데가 없는지 봐 주세요. 맺음말은 아직 비워 뒀어요.

Yes. At every meeting I wrote down the gist of what people said and what we decided. Today, please read it with me and see if anything's missing. I've left the closing part blank for now.

서기 노릇 제대로 했네. 한 장씩 넘겨 보니까 진짜 다사다난했다. 견적 다시 받고, 비 때문에 작업 미루고.

You did the secretary's job properly. Turning the pages, it really was one thing after another. A new quote, work put off because of the rain.
