📺 In context
Korean couple fights use 서운하다 (hurt/disappointed because they didn't care enough) more than 화나다 (angry). 서운하다 is THE couple fight word — it implies 'you should have known better.'

Making up (화해) phrases
미안해, 내가 잘못했어Sorry, I was wrong
화 풀어~ 응?Let it go~ okay?
맛있는 거 먹으러 가자Let's go eat something good (= peace offering)
다음부터 안 그럴게I won't do it again
Korean making-up often involves food. 맛있는 거 사줄게 (I'll buy you something good) is a legitimate apology tactic. Accepting the food = accepting the apology.
💡

삐지다 (sulking) is expected and even considered cute in Korean relationships. 삐졌어? (are you sulking?) is how you start the reconciliation process. The sulker gets to choose the restaurant for 화해 (making up).
