흠... My Korean friends use "그래~" as "Yes", but "왜 그래" is like "what's up". I just thought that was strange. What exactly does 그래 mean?

"그래" comes from "그렇다(to be/do so)". In general, it is used when giving an affirmation answer like "yes", "OK", or "sure". Otherwise, "안 그래" or "그렇지 않아" is used for negative answer. However, when giving an answer in a negative question, differently from English, "그래" means "No", so you should take a notice of its usage. // "왜 그래?" means "Why are you doing that/so" literally, in other words, "What is your problem?", "Do you have an any problem?", or "What's up?"
