We decided not to cross the line.

Episode 70. Room 1108 (2)

To visit Room 1108,

I carefully did my makeup and hair.

I chose the prettiest outfit among the clothes I brought.




It was like...

going to my ex-boyfriend's wedding.




Once I was fully dressed,

I suddenly didn't have the courage to go to that room.




At first I was so excited I couldn't think of anything,

but now, as someone who was no longer his lover or his girlfriend,

did I have the right to go to a hotel room and ask who that woman was?

did I have the right to go to a hotel room and ask who that woman was?





Sitting on the bed,

I agonized for a long time.





'Right... no matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense.

Let's stop...'




Thinking that,

since I was dressed up nicely,

I decided to go out and have dinner.





I just grabbed my bag and

went down to the 1st floor.




As I was walking toward the hotel lobby,

someone grabbed my arm from behind.




"Ah..."




I was so startled that I screamed.

When I turned around,

it was Hunji.




"I asked you so many times...

Was that such a hard favor to grant?"




"Hunji..."



First, I pulled my arm away.

He'd said he was here for filming,

so the staff were surely staying at this hotel too.




"Don't do this here. Let's go somewhere else.

No, don't. Go up first.

I'll follow you.

You said Room 1108, right?"





"Let's go up together."





"Hunji"




Worried about the people around us,

I said quietly.



"Go up first.

I'll really go.

I'm worried people will see us."





He said with a firm expression.





"If you don't come up,

I'll come down here and call your name.

Handle it yourself."





"Okay, okay. Hurry up and go."





I sent him up first and

waited for the elevator to go up to the 11th floor.





'Why is he the one getting mad...

I never even said I was coming.'




Standing in front of Room 1108,

just as I was about to press the bell,

the door opened,

and he grabbed my arm

and pulled me inside.




The moment the door closed,

he pulled me into a tight embrace and showered me with kisses.

For a while,

at the all-too-familiar touch,

at the sweet kisses, I lost myself.

It felt as if time had turned back.



Then suddenly, I came to my senses.





I forcibly pushed him away and said,





"Hunji, stop."





"Just a second... I've missed you so much all this time.

Please let me have this much."





He tried to come closer again.

I took a step back.





"No.

We're not anything to each other anymore."




"This is Paris.

It's a place where you can kiss an ex-lover, or have a one-night stand."




I thought of the woman

who had linked arms with Hunji earlier that afternoon.

That made me even angrier at his attitude.




"Ha... so what?

Are you saying you want to spend even one night with me tonight?"





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

Why are you so angry...?"




"That woman earlier...

No, forget it.

Why did you call me here?

Now that I'm up here, talk. Now."





"We... it's been more than six months since we last saw each other.

Earlier there were staff around,

and honestly, I was so flustered I couldn't even bring it up.

I never dreamed I'd see you here.

I was pushed around by people and came to my senses,

so I went back to the ice cream shop.
 
As I was going, I was so worried about what I'd do if you'd already left there

that I can't tell you how much I worried?"




'I never thought I'd run into you here either,

so you acted so casually

and walked around linked arm in arm with another woman.

Why aren't you talking about that woman?

I came here to hear about that woman...'





"Don't you have anything else to say?"





"I missed you..."





"No... not that kind of thing.

Don't you have anything else to say to me?"





Hunji looked at me with a bewildered expression.

He looked like he really didn't know.





I couldn't say it directly,

and I desperately wanted him to figure out how I felt

and explain it clearly.




A silence stretched on,

and unable to bear the frustration, I

finally opened my mouth.




"Park Hunji!!

Who's that woman you were arm in arm with earlier?

Who is she, and why is she calling you oppa!!"



"Who said what about jealousy incarnate?"
