We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 19. Hunji Wants to Be Reassured

After Suyeon left, I locked the café door

and it was just the two of us left in the café.





While Hunji was in the bathroom,

a message notification popped up

on his phone sitting on the table.





Without meaning to, I picked up the phone

and ended up looking at the screen.





[I... I think I like oppa...]





I was startled by the message

and quickly put the phone back down on the table.





My heart started pounding fast.

My face felt like it was burning too.




I should act like I don’t know anything when Hunji comes out,

but I wasn’t confident.





I deliberately went to the kitchen

and made tea




When Hunji came back to the table,

he picked up his phone and checked the message.




After staring at the screen for a moment,

he said to me.





"Jung-ah! I got a confession."





My heart sank.



But turning back toward him,

I said as if nothing was wrong,





"What do you mean?"





He came over to me

and showed me his phone screen.


It was the message screen I’d seen earlier.





"...Who... sent it?"




I said without meeting his eyes.




"The younger guy who played the opposite role

in the last movie."





"Oh..."





He stared at the screen for a moment

then looked at me.





"How should I reply?"





"Why are you asking me that..."





I looked at him with a confused expression.





"Then I’ll just reply however I want."





He said casually

and went back to the table again.





'What is he doing...?'





I made two cups of tea

and returned to the table.





He seemed to have sent the message

and put his phone down.





"You’re curious what I replied, aren’t you?"





"Hunji...

"Do you know how cruel you’re being right now?"





"Oh! I didn’t mean to tease you...

"Sorry if I hurt your feelings..."





I didn’t know what to say

to my ex-boyfriend, who had just been confessed to.




Without saying a word, I took a sip of tea.

My mind was a mess.




Then,

a message popped up on my phone.





[Sorry, but... I already like someone.

I sent it like this.

I did well, right? ]





Seeing that message, it felt like all the tension in my body let go.


I glared at him.

Then he broke into a bright smile.





"I was kind of worried that if Jung-ah seemed too unfazed,

I wouldn’t know what to do.

But your voice was shaking and you seemed nervous,

so I felt relieved."






"Ah... you’re really awful.

You watched my every reaction

and then asked how you should reply..."





"Love always wants to be confirmed."





Hunji hesitated for a moment

then went on.





"But... don’t get mad when you hear this.

Okay?"





"What now? You’re scary..."





"The truth is...

I went to the bathroom and used another phone

to send the confession text. Heh"





"...What did you say?

Haa... then you were acting it out all by yourself, Hunji?"





"I was curious how Jung-ah would react.

And I’m very satisfied.

I love that reaction!"




"Seriously!!! Park Hunji!!!!"




"To Hunji’s friend?"
