The scene — Bringing it back
Zeeza marches into the clothing store holding a bag like it personally wronged him. Nujoom trails behind, way too invested.
- 어제 이 바지를 샀어요.I bought these pants yesterday.
- 사이즈가 안 맞아요.The size doesn't fit.
- 힐랄도 사이즈가 안 맞아요.The size doesn't fit Hilal either.
- 네, 영수증 여기 있어요.Yes, here's the receipt.
- 힐랄은 더 큰 사이즈가 필요해요.Hilal needs a bigger size.
The idea — Bringing it back
환불하고 싶어요 means 'I'd like a refund' — the same -고 싶어요 you already know from 보고 싶어요, now built on a verb you own: 환불해요.
Next time something doesn't fit, you can hand over the receipt and say exactly what you want — no pointing, no panic.
