어제 남자 친구한테서 다음 주에 외출을 나올 수 있다고 면회 오라는 전화가 왔어.
My boyfriend called me yesterday to visit him because he can go out next week.
맞다. 네 남자 친구가 군대에 간 지 세 달쯤 되었지?
Right. It’s been three months since your boyfriend joined the army, hasn’t he?
응, 이제 이병이야. 근데 면회 갈 때 뭘 준비해야 해?
Yes, he is a private now. By the way, what do I have to prepare for the visit?
넌 외국인이니까 부대에 사전 허락을 받아야 할 것 같아. 그리고 여권은 꼭 챙겨야 해.

그건 남자 친구에게 다시 확인해 봐야겠다. 맛있는 도시락을 만들어 갈까?
I’ll have to check that out with my boyfriend again. How about making a delicious lunch box?
그것도 좋은데 외출을 나가면 밖에서 사 먹을 수도 있으니까 남자 친구한테 미리 물어보고 준비해.
That sounds good, but you can eat out if you go out, so ask your boyfriend in advance before you get ready.
V+ 어야/아야/여야 할 것 같다
It is attached to the stem of an action verb to speak mildly while guessing that the behavior is necessary to get to a situation or an event. It is a combined form of ‘-어야/아야/여야/하다’ which means duty and ‘-을/ㄹ 것 같다’ that means assumption.
If the stem of an action verb ends with ‘ㅏ, ㅗ’, you should use ‘-아야 할 것 같다’. When it ends with another consonant(ㅓ, ㅜ, ㅡ, ㅣ), you use ‘-어야 할 것 같다’. You should use ‘-여야(해야) 할 것 같다’ if it ends with ‘하-‘.
