We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 11. Chicken leg

“Why are you... suddenly?”

It’s already been six months…”





Hunji lowered his head and

said weakly.

 

 

“I thought that all this time...

after we fought, we were just

going through a cold spell

between us.

But...

when I saw my name saved on Jang-a’s phone last time,

and today too, when I saw you laughing

and talking with someone else...

I realized you don’t laugh like that with me anymore.

Only then...

did I realize we really had broken up.”

“It’s all... part of the process.

 


 
The process of turning from lovers into strangers...”

I calmly took a sip of my tea.




“Strangers?”




He looked at me as if he hadn’t expected that.





His face was a mix of surprise

and hurt.

“Whenever something hard happens,





I still think of Jang-a.

Didn’t I tell you that?”

“Even when something tough happens, you don’t really talk about it to friends or family...”


He paused for a moment, then opened his mouth again.

“While I was seeing Jang-a...





whenever Jang-a noticed my mood





and asked me first, I always told everything...”

Only then did I

understand why he had come into the cafe earlier.





“Did you come because something hard happened today?”

He looked at me in silence.






'So that’s why he looked so drained...’






I hesitated for a moment, then said quietly.





“Go ahead and talk.





I’ll listen as a friend today.”





“To Jang-a,

was I...






your boyfriend who came to mind when you were having a hard time?”

“When I was having the hardest time...

I looked at him for a moment, then said softly.





“I didn’t even need to think of anyone else.”





His eyes widened.





“You were by my side then, Hunji.”





“Even when I was struggling over Julian,





if it hadn’t been for Hunji,



I don’t think I could have endured it alone.”

I looked at his hand and went on.

“Hunji... was a wonderful boyfriend.”





I carefully placed my hand





on the back of his hand on the table.





I hoped that my heart,

my comfort, would reach his heart even a little.




“But... why...?”

His voice trembled a little.





“You were a wonderful boyfriend...





so why did you want to break up?”




Instead of answering, I stood up.

“Hunji, aren’t you hungry?




Want to order some chicken, the one our Hunji likes?”



The moment I tried to get up from the table,

he grabbed my hand.





“Tell me.”

He looked up at me.





“Why did you do it?”




I looked at him for a while, then




sat back down in the chair.





After thinking for a moment, I spoke.

“I...




I’m not talented enough





to handle a top star.”




Hunji frowned




at my answer.

“What?”




“It’s true.”

I said, forcing a smile.




“Dating a top star is way harder than you’d think.





You’re busy all the time, scandals happen...”




I looked at him for a moment, then added,




“I’m just too inadequate

to date a top star like that.”




I was being completely serious,




but he must have thought I was joking.

He suddenly burst out laughing.




“I’m serious...”

Only after laughing for a long time did he calm down and say,

“Ah... all the stress from today just vanished.





Why are you so funny?





I laughed so much I’m starving now...”





“I knew that while Hunji was laughing,

I ordered chicken.

Eat that and shake off the stress.





I even ordered beer too... hehe”

“You really ordered it?”

“Yeah.”

A little later,





the delivery chicken and beer arrived.





“Why are you drinking so often these days?”





“Actually, the day I drank with Taehyung...

...no, it’s nothing.”





“What is it? Is there something going on between you two?”






“No... it’s not that there’s something between us, but
 
that day, at the film company building,






I ran into Hunji by chance.





So I felt a little off,

and called Taehyung out to drink.

I only drink when it’s not Hunji.”

“Oh? Right...

You ordered beer today because I was here too... hehe

But you still get nervous when you see me,





so you drank, right?”

“What are you talking about?

I drank because I was angry.

Because my ex keeps clinging on...”





“Clinging on?

Wow... that’s really harsh.

But your word choice is so perfect!





Then I guess I’ll keep clinging on to you!”

“Oh, come on...

Hunji, you’re such a child when you do that...”

“Isn’t that part of my charm?”





I spat out the beer I was drinking.

“Hey... what is this? Seriously...





Were you trying some trick





to eat all the chicken yourself?”





“Ah... sorry, sorry...

How... it’s a mess...”

Embarrassed by my mistake,





I hurriedly wiped the beer off the table

and off Hunji’s clothes.




Watching me, Hunji said,

“Wow~ this chicken is so good today.

Maybe because Jang-a’s buying...”




He was happily tearing into a drumstick.





The expression that had looked so drained

when he came into the cafe earlier was nowhere to be seen;





he was back to being his mischievous self.


 


'As long as your gloomy mood is gone, that’s enough...’

I watched him smiling

and quietly lifted my beer glass.
