We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 17. Shock

During the adaptation work

I had to communicate regularly

with the main writer.





For today’s mid-review,

I had to go to the production company.





When I arrived at the production company,

the staff were unusually abuzz.





As soon as I met the main writer,

I asked what was going on.




"The female lead has been decided, and it looks like she came to meet the director today.

The staff are all going crazy to see her in person... haha"



"But she’s really pretty.

She suits Park Hoon-ji well."




"Who is the female lead?"




"Kim So-hee."




"A good match...? How...?"


I muttered quietly.





"What was that, Jeong-a?"





"Ah! No.

Shall we start the meeting?"





All through the meeting,

the name Kim So-hee wouldn’t leave my head.





'What if he gets dragged into another scandal with Hoon-ji...

Ugh... I should stop worrying about it.'




After ending the meeting that day,

I headed to the cafe.





"Ji-seong.

I’ll take care of closing up today,

so head home first.

You worked hard today too. "





"Are you really okay handling it alone?"





"There aren’t many customers around this time of day, so

it’s fine.

I learned a lot from watching over your shoulder too.ㅎ"





"Then I’m really leaving. Boss.

Please don’t stay here too late either,

and go home early."





After sending Ji-seong off first,

I kept working on the adaptation.




Then from Hoon-ji,

I got a call.




Since I was alone,

I turned on speakerphone and answered.




"Hoon-ji. Did you hear that the female lead is Kim So-hee?"





"Yes. I heard."





"Have you seen her already?"





"I think I’ll go see her at the production company tomorrow? Why?"





"I went to the production company today,

and everyone was freaking out over seeing Kim So-hee.

They said she’s insanely pretty?"





"So... were you jealous?"





"No... why would I be jealous..."





"Don’t worry about that stuff.

Park Hoon-ji isn’t that easy a guy.ㅎ"





"Okay... where are you go...

Oh!! Su-yeon!!"





Seeing Su-yeon standing in front of the cafe,

I got up from my chair without thinking.




"You... when did you get here?"





"Are you seriously on the phone with actor Park Hoon-ji right now?"





I quickly turned off speakerphone

and hung up.





"What is this, Yu-jeong? Are you dating Park Hoon-ji?"





"No... we’re not dating."





"From what I just heard, you sounded totally like lovers!!"





"It’s just... we dated, but now... no..."





"What???????????

You little brat, come here! Come here!

When did this start, and when did it end?"





After that, I

ended up telling Su-yeon everything,

from the time I started with Hoon-ji

all the way to our living together in Spain.

And I confessed everything,

including that recently we’d agreed to put it on hold for three months.





"Wow... Yu-jeong... how could you do this to me?

This is a real scoop! You quiet little cat!

I’m so shocked my mind’s gone blank."





"Su-yeon... want me to get you a cup of coffee?

Calm down... I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you all this time."





"No, then after you went to Spain, was the scandal about Park Hoon-ji

hooking up with the English tutor actually about you?"





"Probably... I guess..?"





"Let me see Park Hoon-ji once, okay?" <17/17>
