We decided not to cross the line.

Episode 66. Push and Pull

[Title: Tazza Park Hoon-ji


Hunji, you know a lot about women.

Or do you know me well?

After reading the subject line of the last email,

Actually, I couldn't sleep a wink last night.

Whether to read it or not,

I don't know if I'm angry... or sad...

I just couldn't read my own emotions.

And then eventually...

I ended up falling for your trick.

I am....

I'm doing well here.

I met good neighbors and made new friends...

I am spending each day working as well.

I'm doing better than I expected.

Of course... I miss you too.

It would be a lie to say I've forgotten everything.

I still remember and think of it, but

I don't cry like before.

I hope you are doing well, just like me.





More than a month has passed since we parted ways at the airport,

I greeted him for the first time.





After sending the email,

Compared to when I was forcibly suppressing my emotions

I felt much more at ease.





'okay...

I won't torment myself too hard.

Sometimes when I miss you

I think something like an email would be fine..

If I go wherever my heart leads me

Wouldn't it become a bit clearer?





Even the worries that continued all night,

Even the emotions that have been suppressed all this time

It seemed like things were finally falling into place.





Because I couldn't sleep a wink,

I slept a bit in the morning and only in the late afternoon

I was able to go to Miguel's cafe.





As soon as Miguel saw me entering

I let out a sigh of relief as I relaxed the tension in my stiff shoulders.





"Sophie... what on earth happened?"

I was worried because you were late without saying a word.

What happened?




No... nothing happened...

I couldn't sleep last night, so I slept a bit this morning..

It just came out now.

I'm sorry for making you worry, Miguel..





As long as nothing happened, that's fine.

I was worried you might be sick...

If you don't come out in the afternoon either

I was thinking of visiting your house.




Seeing Miguel like that,

The one who acted as a guardian before leaving Korea

I smiled as I thought of CEO Kim.





I ordered coffee as usual, and

He held out his card.






Miguel pushed the card back toward me.

He said this.




I won't charge you for coffee from now on.




I have a hunch from his behavior lately

He said firmly.





"Miguel... please pay the bill."





And as for me coming out to the cafe late today

After hearing him say that he was very worried

I could have predicted it.




I want to do the calculations.
 
I guess I should do that.




Miguel looked at me with a disappointed expression.




Are you sure? Do you really have to do that?




I spoke without wavering.




Yes. I'm sure of it.

Please calculate the bill.





When I saw Miguel's sincere eyes,

Suddenly, I remembered what Hunji had said before.

 


I think we are very lucky people right now.

I think.

Among all those people, I met someone I was drawn to,

The fact that the other person has similar feelings to me.





He wasn't wrong.

Although their feelings are facing in the same direction

It might be more difficult and rare than expected.





"Miguel, later after work at the cafe,

Would you like to come over to my place for dinner?

If you like Korean food, let's have a meal together.

Maria and Antonio are also together

I would like to invite you.





To Miguel and to Maria

I wanted to make my mind clear.





I'll ask my mother and give you an answer.




He answered in a listless voice.





Yes. Please check and let me know.




I took a seat at a table and sat down.

I started working.





Some time later,

Miguel replied that he would accept the dinner invitation.




I also came out late in the afternoon today, and

At an unplanned dinner invitation

I finished without being able to do much work.




I went grocery shopping on my way home,

I hurriedly started cooking.




Prepare bulgogi and rolled omelets that foreigners like, and

Seaweed and instant rice brought from Korea,

And just in case it suited my taste, I even included ramen.

I prepared a simple Korean meal.




If there were a Korean grocery store nearby

The table setting would have been a bit better...

The menu is so simple, I wonder if the three of them will be disappointed.

I was slightly worried.





"Isn't the most important thing the feelings of the two people?"
