We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 103. Hunji Regains Consciousness

Mr. Hoonji was moved to the ICU

Dawn came.





And then morning broke.




Hoonji’s parents came to the hospital.



His sister, who had seen the news, and Suyeon,

and Wonhee oppa also contacted me.





I stayed with Hoonji’s family

at the ICU entrance.

I just waited, unable to even leave my spot easily.



For Hoonji to regain consciousness.





Before Hoonji regained consciousness,

Hoonji’s parents, during the designated visiting hours,

came out after seeing his face for a moment.





Taehyung, who had gone to attend class,

came back to the hospital again in the evening.




"Jung-a.

Go home for a bit, take a shower, and get some sleep.

Have you eaten anything? You haven’t gone all day without eating, have you?"





"I’m okay.

We don’t even know when Hoonji will wake up."





"Even if he regains consciousness,

visiting isn’t allowed at night anyway.

I’ll let you know right away if he wakes up.

Go and rest a little.

Hoonji’s family is here too,

and I’ll stay and 연락 you."






"Hoonji isn’t even conscious....

How am I supposed to go home and rest or sleep..."






"I told you.

We have to hold out.

I told you that’s the way we can help Hoonji."





I couldn’t bring myself to leave.

But I couldn’t stay here forever either.

No one knew when Hoonji would wake up,

or how many more days he would be lying there.





"This is... porridge.

Go home, eat at least a little,

and come back after resting."





"...Okay. I will."





I took the bag of porridge Taehyung handed me

and went back home.





I showered and ate a little of the porridge.

I lay down on the bed and before I knew it, fell asleep.





At dawn, I woke up.

For a moment, I thought about what reality I was in right now.

Did Hoonji go off to film

and fall asleep alone...?



Then all at once, one thought came to mind.





'Hoonji got into an accident...

he’s lying in the hospital right now....'




As I thought of that again, tears began to 흐르기.

I buried my face in the pillow

and cried for a long time.




Then suddenly, I came to my senses.




I remembered the fact

that I didn’t know when Hoonji would wake up.




I hurriedly got up and dressed.

And then I headed straight to the hospital.




Hoonji’s family had gone home for a while.

Taehyung was the only one standing guard in front of the ICU.





"Why are you here already?

You should have come after morning..."





"You still have class to attend, Taehyung,

so go in now, rest a little, and then head to school."





"I got some sleep here for a bit. I’m fine.

My sister and my parents said they’d come back in the morning too."

"Taehyung...






I still don’t feel like this is real..."

Taehyung lowered his head instead of answering.




"That Hoonji is lying unconscious in the ICU...





it only feels like a dream, it doesn’t feel real at all..."

"Jung-a...





If it turns out he needs a liver transplant,

don’t get tested.

I’ll do it.

If I get tested and I’m a match, I’ll donate to him.

You... don’t do it..."

"How can I not get tested when we don’t know who’ll be a match?





No matter what happens, I’m going to do it."

"Then if both you and I turn out to be compatible,





I’ll have the surgery, so you don’t do it... please..."

"Even if someone has to have surgery, it’s better if I’m the one who does it.





Taehyung has nothing to do with this...

And if it’s decided later that he needs a transplant,

we can talk about it then."

He went home only after Hoonji’s sister arrived.





"Jung-a. Have you eaten anything?"

"I ate a little porridge last night.





I’m fine."





"If he has to get a liver transplant...

can you really get tested?"





"Yes. Of course I should."

"Thank you...





And I’m sorry."





I hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Um... Hoonji proposed to me...




We promised we’d get married...




So Hoonji is my family too."

"Ah... I see...

It would have been better if we’d met your parents before something like this happened..."





As soon as Hoonji’s sister finished speaking,

the ICU door opened.

"Is there a guardian for Park Hoonji?"





"Yes. Here!!"

"Park Hoonji has regained consciousness."





"Haa.... Thank you...."





Without realizing it, I clasped my hands together.





Only then did it feel like the breath I’d been holding





all came rushing out at once.





"Who is Jung-a?

Is that person among the guardians here?"

"Huh? That’s me."






"After Park Hoonji regained consciousness,

he’s been asking for someone called Jung-a nonstop.





I think it would be best if you go in during visiting hours later.






You’re family, right?"

Hoonji’s sister answered the nurse immediately.

"Yes. She’s family."

"Yes. Then you can visit."





The nurse said that and





went back into the ICU.





"I’m really relieved..."





The anxiety I’d been carrying all this time eased a little.

I waited in front of the ICU for another three or four hours.





Those few hours felt especially long that day.





Finally, visiting hours came.

After putting on the protective gear visitors had to wear,

I went into the ICU.





Before going in,

I made the same promise to myself dozens of times.

'Don’t cry. Don’t cry.




Don’t cry when you see Hoonji.'

But the moment I saw Hoonji lying in bed,





tears burst out all at once.

"Hoonji...





can you hear me?"

He was asleep with his eyes closed.





I wrapped my hands around his hand.

"Hoonji. You hurt a lot, right?





You’re not too scared, are you?

I’m... by Hoonji’s side.





So... don’t be scared."

My tears fell onto his cheek.

"Our Square-and-Triangle, even when he’s in pain...

is still so cool...





Even all scruffy, you’re cute...





Hoonji...

you know abs disappear fast if you don’t work out, right?

Before your abs disappear... you have to get up.

...Okay?"

His hand, which I was holding, twitched.

It felt like a sign that he was hearing me.

"I’ll definitely save you, Hoonji.





I’ll stay by your side and help until you’re healthy again.

So don’t worry about anything and just trust me.





Just like I trusted Hoonji and waited..."

The nurse came over

and told me that visiting time was over.

One last time, I took the finger I’d pressed to my lips





and touched it to his cheek.

"I’ll come again.



Our Square-and-Triangle. Hang in there..."

I left the ICU and ran to the bathroom.





It was better than seeing him cry.

"It seems like liver function will be difficult to recover."
