편집장님, 형 오기 전에 책상 좀 치워 드린답시고 교정지를 한데 모았는데, 순서가 다 섞인 것 같아요. 죄송해요.

I tried to help by tidying your desk before Hoya came, and gathered the proofs into one pile, but I think I've mixed up the whole order. I'm sorry.

편집장

괜찮아요, 쪽마다 번호가 있어서 금방 맞춰요. 호야 씨, 와 줘서 고마워요. 칼럼 외에 부탁이 하나 더 있어요. 이 신간 서평을 맡아 줄래요?

That's all right, every page has a number, so it'll be quick to sort. Hoya, thanks for coming. Besides the column, I have one more favour to ask. Would you take on a review of this new book?
‘집은 어떻게 서 있나’요? 편집장님이 고르신 책이에요? 이 책은 벌써 읽었어요. 준호가 빌려줬거든요.

‘How Does a House Stand’? Did you choose this one? I've already read it. Junho lent it to me.
