    도와주세요~~~

    Could you help me to sound more... natural? I need to use 반말 but it's a little complicated. Thank you.

    오늘 오빠와 당구를 쳤어요. 제가 져서 벌칙을 받았어요. 저는 5월 22일까지 한국어로 음성 메시지를 보내야 해요. 처음에는 20일까지였는데 제가 그냥 조금 불편해서 오빠는 "그러면 22일까지 할거야, 넌 떠 음성 메시지를 보내고 싶어?"라고 말했어요.오빠는 나보다 나빠요. 왜냐하면 오빠가 질 때 항상 많이 불편해요. And I don't say to him to do more punishment days. He thought that 2 weeks was a lot and he says to me more than 3 weeks. That's so unfair!

    I wanna say:
    Today I played with 오빠 to billiards. I lost so I received a punishment. I have to send him voice messages in korean until May 22nd. At first it was until 20th but I just complained a little and he said "Then you will do until 22nd, do you want to send more voice messages?". He is worse than me. Because when he loses, he always complains a lot. And I don't say to him to do more punishment days. He thought that 2 weeks was a lot and he says to me more than 3 weeks. That's so unfair!

     

    I think it is like a diary. so I think it is better to use '반말'.

     

    Today I played with 오빠 to billiards. I lost so I received a punishment. I have to send him voice messages in korean until May 22nd.

    오늘은 오빠와 당구를 쳤다. 내가 져서 벌칙을 받았는데, 5월 22일까지 (매일) 한국어로 음성메시지를 오빠한테 보내야 한다. 

    At first it was until 20th but I just complained a little and he said "Then you will do until 22nd, do you want to send more voice messages?".

    원래 20일까지였다가 내가 조금 불평하니까 오빠가 '그럼 22일까지로 하자. 음성메시지를 더 많이 보내고 싶어?'

    He is worse than me. Because when he loses, he always complains a lot. And I don't say to him to do more punishment days.

    오빠는 나보다 더 못됐다. 오빠가 졌을 때는 엄청 불평했다.  그렇지만 나는 더 많은 벌칙기간(punishment days)을 요구하지는 않았다.

     He thought that 2 weeks was a lot and he says to me more than 3 weeks. That's so unfair!

    오빠는 2주는 너무 길다고 생각했지만 나에게는 3주 이상을 말한다. 이건 불공정한거야!

    It doesn't mean anything. I think it is kind of an interjection.

    1. "I try to refrain but you're stuck in my brain" --> 난 자제하려고 하지만, 내 머리속에 네 생각이 떨어지지 않아. 2. "All I do is cry and complain because second's not the same..." --> I don't know the expression. 'second's not the same...' 3. "Is there somewhere you can meet me?" --> 그 쪽에 (나를) 만날 만한 장소가 있어? 4. "Do you actually have feelings for me?" or "Do you actually like me?" --> 나를 정말 좋아하는 거야? 5. "Do you ever think of me before you fall asleep?" --> 잠 자기 전에 나에 대해 생각하기나 해? what is the exact nuance of 'ever' here?

    한국에서 화학적 거세로 강간범 하고 조금 살인범이 처벌해요. 고대 시대에 가끔 거세도 처벌이었어요. "In Korea, rapists and sometimes murderers are punished by chemical castration. In ancient times, sometimes castration was also a punishment." 한국에서는 강간범이나, 때로는 살인자들을 화학적 거세로 처벌해요. 고대에는 거세도 가끔은(가끔씩 사용되는) 처벌방법이었어요.

    너 호적에 올라가 있냐? (너 호적 있냐?) 호적에 올라가 있으면(호적 있으면) 군대에 가야 해. 난 호적에 올라가 있지 않기 때문에(호적이 없기 때문에), 한국에서 땅을 물려받을 수 없어.

    제가 어디서 사냐면요. 여기는 영국과 프랑스 사이에 있는 Alderney라는 섬이예요. 여름에는 정말 따뜻하구요. 조용한 곳이지만 여러가지로 즐길 것들이 많아요. 특히 며칠 정도(for a while == a few days?) 떠나 있기에 최고의 장소이구요! 푹 쉬시고 곧 오세요.(Maybe you mean that "com here and take a break."?? Then "오셔서 푹 쉬시다 가세요." is better.)

    Maybe "close but no cigar" can be translated to "아깝게 ~하지 못하다." "아깝게 ~하다." If the team you support was close but no cigar, --> "(아주) 아깝게 졌다." --> "아깝게 이기지 못하다." is not natural --> "아깝게 지다." If you study hard but you failed a test, --> "아깝게 떨어졌다." --> "아깝게 합격하지 못했다." --> "아깝게 떨어졌다." will be more natural.
