We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 32. Seated together

'Was this what he meant when he asked me to trust him earlier?

...





[Suyon...

I completely broke up with Hunji.

I'll tell you the details when we meet.]





After sending a message to Suyon,

I left the café and headed to a nearby restaurant.





"What should I eat...?"





On a day like this, I had to eat my comfort food.




I got in my car

and set off aimlessly toward the place where President Kim's office was.





On the way, I called President Kim.





"Jung-ah, what are you doing?"





"I'm on my way to get tonkatsu."





"Where? You mean near our company?"





"Bingo!"





"It's already what time and you still haven't had lunch?"





"It just kind of happened that way.

If Taehyung has time, come with me.

If not, I'll go alone and eat."






"Hold on....

I need to make a call, so let me handle that first

and then I'll head over there."






"Yeah. Okay."






I checked my face in the rearview mirror

to make sure I didn't look too worn out.





'I look so lifeless...'





When I arrived in front of the restaurant,

I put on some lip balm and roughly fixed my hair.




Then I went into the restaurant first

and ordered tonkatsu.





Not long after,

President Kim came into the restaurant.





"Taehyung, are you hungry right now?

Do you want some too?"






"Want some?"






"No... not that want...

you! You!"





"No... does it hurt to just say 'want' or something?

Do you really have to correct it like that?"





"Does this side of me... make you suffocate?"






"Huh? No, what are you talking about?"






"No... someone said...

that this side of me is suffocating..."






"It isn't. I think that side of you is cute!"






"There you go again. heh

You only ordered one tonkatsu,

are you going to eat it?"






"If I eat alone, it'll be lonely,

so I guess I'll have an early dinner too."






He ordered another tonkatsu

and watched my reaction.





'So Taehyung must have seen the dating article too...'





I pretended not to know on purpose.




"But why didn't you eat lunch?"





"I just... got caught up in work and forgot."





"Make sure you eat properly while you're working...

They're having a preview screening this weekend,

so let's go see that

and then eat something good nearby."





"Okay..."





"Did something gloomy happen today,

so you suddenly came to eat your soul food?"





"No... I just came because they said if I wanted tonkatsu this week,

I should come by."





"But why are you so out of it?"





"That's... because I couldn't eat..heh"





After finishing our meal,

I went back to the café.





After helping Jisung, who was closing up,

on the way home

I was strangely glancing around.





'I told him never to come back, so

he should've gotten the message...'





A few days later,

on a weekend evening, I met President Kim and headed to the preview theater.




There, I saw Hunji and his girlfriend

for the first time.





Among the crowd,

the reporters were swarming

to take pictures of the two of them.





I deliberately looked away

and focused on the movie.





After the preview screening ended,

we headed to a nearby restaurant.





But...





there, I ran into Hunji and her

once again.





When we bumped into Hunji, we exchanged light greetings,

and Hunji introduced us to her.




She, with her arm linked through Hunji's,

said to us.





"Should we sit together?

Oppa doesn't talk much,

so it's kind of boring when it's just the two of us."





Hunji stopped her.



President Kim also said with an awkward smile,





"We also need to go on a date a bit..."





At the word date, Hunji's expression stiffened for a moment.


Then she opened her mouth again.





"It's been a while since I saw you, sir,

and I'd like to treat you to dinner.

Let's eat together. We can all go."






"Unnie! By any chance, do you know Oppa's ex-girlfriend?"
