We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

14. You are still my star

This week, Ji-seong left work first

so I stayed behind and kept working

and every day I was getting off work after 9.





"Haa... I guess I should call it a day and head home."





I saved the file I was working on

and was about to close my laptop,

when I noticed the folder

with the photos I took in Spain.





After hesitating for a moment, I opened the folder.





Laughing, playing around,

being happy over nothing at all.





As I looked through the photos after opening the folder,

I suddenly missed those days.





'Back then, we

were really happy...'





When I came to Korea and things were bad with Hun-ji,

I had once thought that.





'What if...

we had stayed there and completed the full year

what would we be like now...

would we still be seeing each other without breaking up...

wouldn't we understand each other a little more

and be a little more considerate of one another?'





Because it was a road we never took,

that regret always stayed in the corner of my heart.





I had been greedy, wanting both Hun-ji's film role

and my translation work,

and I spent a while struggling with the thought

that maybe that was what ended up ruining our relationship.

As I was closing my laptop with a bitter feeling,





my phone rang with a message notification sound.

[Us... want to go look at the stars?]





It was a message from Hun-ji.





'Stars? What is he suddenly talking about?'





I read the message once more.




'Ah... is he talking about that place?'




The place I had once taken Hun-ji to





when I was going to tell him

that I was leaving for Spain.

For both me and him,




it wasn't

a place that remained a good memory.

Seeing the message, I





spent a moment wondering how I should reply.

Just then, my phone rang.





"Hello?"





"Jung-a, did you see my message?"





"Yes..."





"Then why... didn't you reply?"





"I was thinking about





how to answer."

"So that means... you were wondering





how to turn me down?"

'He's really quick to catch on...'




"Um... well..."





"You're at a cafe right now, aren't you?"






"Yes... I'm still at the cafe."





"Why were you there so late?"





"The adaptation work schedule is a bit packed."





"Did you finish everything you had to do today?"





"Yeah. I finished everything I had to do today





and was just about to head out."

"Then... I'll come get you there.





Stay put for a moment, okay?"

"Now?"





"I have a schedule tomorrow starting in the afternoon, so...





I was thinking about what to do...

and then I remembered that place where we watched the stars."

"You mean you want to go look at the stars now?"





"I've already turned the car around, so...





I'll be there in about 15 minutes."

He really did arrive in front of the cafe 10 minutes later.





Before I knew it, I was in his car,

and we were heading there again.

The familiar scenery slipped past outside the car window.





Then the memories of that day

began to come back little by little.

"Hun-ji... why there..."




I couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.




"It's not a place with good memories,




so why do I want to go there?"

"..."





"That's why I'm going."





"What do you mean by that?"





"Because I don't want to





think of that beautiful place as just the memory

of me getting angry and leaving Jung-a behind.

I've been thinking that I should go there again someday.

I should have gone back there when we were together..."

I looked at him while he was driving.





"You're not looking at me with those soft eyes, are you?"





I snorted at his joke.





The place was still beautiful, with its glittering stars.





After we arrived and walked together with Hun-ji,

my feelings felt strange.

Melted, maybe,




and excited...

It felt as if I had returned to that time,





and also as if a new time was beginning again.

After walking for a long while without saying a word to each other,





he spoke first.

"Jung-a..."





After pausing for a moment, he


stopped walking and looked at me.

"Let's... start over."



At his unexpected words,




I couldn't say anything.

I just stood there,




looking at him.

"Actually...




I still haven't broken up with you in my heart.

My feelings are still ongoing.

I only realized that now."
