We decided not to cross the line.

Episode 43. The Beginning

We came out after watching the movie,

I came to a park near my house and was taking a walk.





It’s the first time I’ve taken a walk in the park at this time.

Even though Hunji has done a lot of early morning shoots,

This is your first time taking a walk like this, isn't it?





That's right. But isn't it better than expected?

There are no people around, and the streetlights are atmospheric..."





Yes~~ aside from being sleepy, the atmosphere is nice and it's romantic.

And because there are no people.

I totally love being able to walk holding hands like this!!





A walk at 2 AM...

However, it was comfortable and lighthearted because there were no people around.





The sound of a phone notification suddenly ringing

It broke the peace.





The moment the name 'CEO Kim' appears on the phone screen,

My heart sank for no reason.






[Jeong-ah, are you with Hunji right now?]






[Uh... right... what's wrong? Is something wrong?]



Feeling anxious, I sent a reply right away.






From the staff, Hunji together with the English teacher

I got a message saying they thought they saw me at the theater...

They asked what kind of relationship we had...

I'm checking first to make sure it's really the two of you.






[I see... I should have been more careful. I'm sorry...]






There is no way the employee wouldn't know Hoonji's face,

You must have recognized it right away since you know, right?

still....

It's troublesome if I keep attracting attention like this...

You probably know why without me having to say it... Please be careful.







[Okay... Sorry...]







Who are you exchanging messages with at this hour?




Mr. Hunji asked with a puzzled expression.






"Ah... CEO Kim..."






Why are you contacting me at this hour, CEO?






No... that's not it...

It seems a coworker saw the two of us at the theater.

I looked into it and spoke to CEO Kim

They said they asked what kind of relationship the two of them have.






"ah....
 
I can't believe our staff member watched this late-night movie again..."






I know, right..

Of all places, why this theater again...

I need to be more careful from now on.

My friend... saw my Instagram and asked if I got a boyfriend, so

I thought I should be careful.

It feels like there are CCTVs everywhere.







It will be fine. Don't worry too much.




Hunji's smile reassured me.






"however...

What if I get photographed or rumors spread because of this?

I vaguely thought that it could be the case, but...

Actually, I had never thought about it seriously before.

I was too complacent..







I pulled my hand away,

I took a step back.






"No, but even so, why would you put it into action right away like this..."






"I'm just going inside today..."






We just need to be careful from now on. Nothing bad will happen.


 



That is our wish.

Nobody knows what might happen.

I don't want to get in the way of Hunji's career.

I will absolutely never let that happen.





I don't know what the object is, but, suddenly,

I became scared and anxious.





Mr. Hunji came back and held my hand, but

My mind did not calm down again.






Hunji must be anxious, too..

He's probably pretending not to for my sake...






"The CEO will let you know tomorrow..."

You're making my darling worry for no reason.





I was surprised by his sudden title

I looked at his face.





His facial expression, raising his eyebrows and opening his eyes wide

It felt playful, so I ended up laughing along with it.






Forever we

Will we ever be able to look at each other and smile like this...





That night, with just one message from CEO Kim

I am in a fairy tale love story

I was returning to reality.






"wait for a sec."


Mr. Hunji suddenly stopped walking.

He stood in front of me and wrapped his arms around my waist.





Even though it's late, this is a park.


I blocked him with my hand as he approached.







Wait a minute... Just let's stay like this for a moment...

I will get rid of that anxious feeling.





If you push it all the way

It means you are even pushing Hunji's heart away.

I didn't move for fear of being misunderstood.





Whenever something like this happens,
 
You must not regret starting with me. Got it?






"Isn't it you, Hunji, who will regret this, not me?"

I have nothing to lose with this love, but...

You're different.





Why do you think I'm going to lose something?

I've gained such a reliable love, haven't I?

A love even Beethoven couldn't have? Haha.






Are you making a joke like that right now?



I scolded him, but

He didn't care.






"however...

Why didn't you tell me you met your older sister?






"Huh? That's..."

My older sister didn't tell Hunji,

It seems like you want to meet.

I didn't say anything because it felt like I was tattling.






From now on, tell me everything.

Rather than not knowing and hearing about it through someone else

I'd rather you tattle on me.





I'll do that. And please stop moving away now.






You need to go today and get a good night's sleep without worrying.

"If you promise to do that, I will let you go."






I'll do that.

Hunji, you go quickly too.

It's too late.






I broke up with him and returned home.

However, despite his request to sleep well

I ended up staying up all night.





As soon as morning came,

I sent a message to CEO Kim.

The person who will help me with my worries most realistically is

It was him.






[Taehyung, if you have time today, could we meet briefly?

I'll head out to the office.

 



I have a plan.

"So please make sure to do that..."
