We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 104. Unnie, please...

I couldn’t hold back the tears that kept spilling down.

Hunji’s older sister followed me into the restroom.





"Jung-ah. It’s okay.

Our Hunji will get better.

So... don’t be so sad."




She comforted me, her voice choked with tears.




I crouched down in the restroom

and swallowed my tears again and again.





Only after a long while did I come out of the restroom.



Hunji’s older sister stood waiting for me,

restless and at a loss.





The moment she saw me,

she hugged me.





When Hunji’s parents and older brother arrived,

his older sister went home because of Jinseo.





We spent hours like that, without saying a word,

waiting and waiting.





Hunji’s parents told me

to go home and rest a little, but

I couldn’t do that.




I didn’t know when he might call for me again.




I sat on the bench outside the ICU

and closed my eyes.





I thought back to the times

I’d spent wandering around Spain with him.

We went shopping together, took photos,

and roamed through every alley and back street,

those happy days.




Our selves from back then were vividly drawn before my eyes.




Even as I replayed those happy memories,

tears kept streaming down with my eyes closed.





That night, I

stayed up all night outside the ICU.





The next morning,

it wasn’t long after Taehyung arrived.





The doctor in charge of Hunji asked for the family.





"From what we’ve observed so far...

it looks like his liver function may not recover.

He needs a liver transplant.

But waiting until we find a donor

isn’t a good option in his current condition.

First, I think it would be best

for the family to undergo compatibility tests."





Hunji’s parents, his older sister and older brother,

and his brother-in-law all agreed to be tested.





"I’ll be tested too."




The words had barely left my mouth

when Taehyung stepped forward.




"I’ll get tested first."




Taehyung went on, looking at me.





"Jung-ah, you can’t just go get tested

without telling your parents.

Tell them first, then get tested."





Hunji’s family also said it would be best

and tried to stop me.





I called my sister.

We agreed to meet at the cafe in front of the hospital.




"Jung-ah... what happened to you...?"




The moment my sister saw me, she was on the verge of tears.





"You’re not eating, you’re not sleeping,

and you’re just staying at the hospital?

You... haah... I’m really upset just looking at you..."





"Unnie. Hunji needs a liver transplant,

so I’m going to get tested too."





"What? Are you seriously saying this right now?"





"His liver was badly damaged in the accident and isn’t functioning properly.

He needs a transplant, but how long are we supposed to wait for a donor?

His family is getting tested right now too.

I’m getting tested as well.

Don’t tell Mom and Dad,

just keep it to yourself, unnie.

Honestly... I wasn’t even going to tell you...

but everyone talked me out of it..."





"Yujung!!! Have you lost your mind?

Do you think this is some simple appendectomy or something?

What if something happens to you because of this?"





"Unnie..."




I gripped my sister’s hand tightly with both of mine.





"If something happens to Hunji...

I won’t be able to live either...

I’m not asking you for permission right now.

I’m telling you so you know that."





"Are you two even married?

Have you even had a child together?

Why would you take on something that dangerous?

And if you turn out to be a match,

you’re going to give him part of your liver?"





"That’s what I’m going to do.

Hunji has to live."





"Snap out of it!! Yujung!!"





"If your brother-in-law were in that situation, would you give up?

Would you just let him die?"





"Is our situation the same as yours?

We have years behind us,

and we’ve had a child and raised him.

You two are just lovers."





"Unnie...

Can you really measure the weight of love just by time spent together?

Maybe I love Hunji even more than you love your brother-in-law..."

"No matter what you say, I’m doing it.


I’m getting tested, and if I’m a match,

I’ll have the surgery too."

[SLAP]




My sister slapped me across the cheek.




I, who hadn’t been eating or sleeping properly for days,

collapsed to the floor.

"Get a grip. You’re absolutely not getting tested or having the surgery."





After finishing, my sister stood up from her seat.





I grabbed her leg.

"Unnie... please...





If something happens to Hunji,

I won’t be able to keep my sanity...

I could’ve saved him,

and I’d have to live my whole life haunted

by the guilt of not even getting tested.

No... maybe I wouldn’t be able to live out my life at all.

I might even go after him..."

"Jung-ah. Don’t do this...





If Mom and Dad find out, they’ll never allow it..."

"Just keep it to yourself, unnie.





We don’t even know the test results yet.

Even if I do have the surgery,

I’m healthy, so I’ll recover quickly.

I can save Hunji and get healthy again myself.

It is a major surgery, but... it could go well, right?

Unnie... please.... "

My sister looked at me, begging with both hands clasped,





then shed tears.

"Jung-ah... what am I supposed to do about you...?"





"I’ll promise you.





The thing you’re worried about will absolutely

not happen."

My sister pulled me into her arms and sobbed.





"We’ve confirmed a matching donor."
