We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 28. An irreparable mistake

I sent Taehyung-ssi off first, saying I’d go with him,

and headed to the café in Hunji-ssi’s car.





Without meaning to, I found myself looking around inside Hunji-ssi’s car.


I wondered if there might be any trace of a woman.





'What’s the point of it now...'





while looking out the window,

Hunji-ssi’s figure getting out of the red car that day

came vividly back to mind.





Upon arriving at the café,

I headed toward the switch to turn on the lights.




Then,

Hunji-ssi grabbed my hand.




With the fingertips that met in the darkness,

his body heat was conveyed to me exactly as it was.





"So you’re saying you’re meeting with the CEO is a lie?"





I let go of his hand

and turned on the switch.





"It’s true."





I pulled out a chair

and sat down in it.





"The day Hunji-ssi rode in that actor’s car

and came home...

I went to meet Hunji-ssi."





He looked at me in surprise.





"And then I realized.

Hunji-ssi had received a confession from that actor,

and his feelings were wavering a little...

that he was starting to fall for that person."





"It’s not like that.
 
He’s just cute, like a little brother."





"You think I don’t know Hunji-ssi?

He’s not the type to hitch a ride with just anyone

and tell them where he lives.

You didn’t have some good feelings for him?"





"If I had felt that way...

it was just a one-time mistake."





"A one-time mistake?

As the saying goes, a stone thrown in a one-time mistake

kills a frog.

I’m someone who can’t always stand next to Hunji-ssi,

but that actor shines right beside Hunji-ssi.

I felt utterly miserable."





"I’m sorry.

I won’t make that kind of mistake again.

I promise."





"Hunji-ssi...

that actor suits you well.

Let’s each find someone who suits us now.

That’s the conclusion I came to."





"Jung-ah-ssi...

can you really end things with me like this?"





"I already ended it.

When I texted you asking when you’d be home,

and you lied that you had a shoot

and would be finishing late."





"I can’t end things with you like this..."





"That’s up to Hunji-ssi.

I loved Hunji-ssi with all my heart in the meantime.

I don’t regret even that..."





He just stood there motionless.





"Let’s just leave it here now."





He slowly approached me.

I took a step back.





"Everything you say is right...

but I’m human too... just for a moment...

just for a moment...

it’s okay to feel excited, isn’t it..."





"While I was seeing you,

I never once felt that way.

So go to the person who makes your heart race..."





After breaking up with him, I headed home.

When I got out of the taxi,

Manager Kim was standing there.





"Taehyung-ssi!

Why aren’t you going home?"





"You left with Hunji like that,

how could I go home in peace?"





"Were you worried?"





"Did you talk things through?"





"Uh...

come upstairs for a bit."





"It’s late.

I saw you come home, so I’ll go."





"I don’t ask twice."





"But... by any chance, with Hunji...

has someone else come along?"





"I don’t really want to talk about

my ex-boyfriend, do I?"





Manager Kim gave a snort of laughter and replied.





"Got it...

Then sleep well. I’m going."





"Drive safely."





When I opened the front door and went inside,

a phone message alert rang.





[I can’t accept anything between me and the CEO.]





"Hunji-ssi’s former agency was

Manager Kim’s company, wasn’t it?"
