We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 36. Message

After I’d spent a long time stargazing

it was time to head home.





Even after I got in the car and pressed the start button,

the engine wouldn’t start.





I tried again several times, but

it was still dead silent.





The moment Hunji was about to leave, he got out of the car

and came over to me.





"What’s wrong?"





"The car won’t start.

It looks like the battery’s dead.

I’ll call the insurance company and handle it, so

you go on ahead, Hunji."






"Leave Junga here and go by myself?

What kind of nonsense is that?"






"I can wait in the car.

I’m fine, so go on ahead."






"It’s already late.

Leave the car here tonight,

and take my car up first.

I’ll take care of it tomorrow."






"Why would you do that, Hunji?

Then I’ll just take a taxi tonight,

and come get it tomorrow, so

don’t worry about it."






"Junga! Do you really have to go this far?

As a friend, this much

isn’t a big deal."






"No.

I don’t want to be tangled up with Hunji any more.

Today, Hunji’s nu...

No, I just don’t want to."






"Don’t do this... Junga.

If you push me away so coldly...

I really won’t be able to take it.

I still..."






"Stop it. That’s enough.

Please, don’t make me confused like this.

Then I’ll contact Taehyung and

ride with him."





He said nothing else.



He slammed the car door shut

and went off somewhere.





'Ah... what am I supposed to do if he just leaves again like that.

He’s making me worry... seriously...'






Left with no choice either way,

I waited in the car for Hunji to come back.





Then, from my phone,

a message notification rang out.




It was a message from Hunji’s older sister.





[Junga.

Hunji had already told me he’d broken up with Junga,

and even after that he was still trying to persuade the family for a long time.

Until then, I was the only one who knew about Junga,

but after coming back from Spain, Hunji told the whole family everything.

I don’t know why things turned out like this.

Please contact me.]

Even her message





only made me more confused.

A little while later,





he came back with his shoulders slumped.

"Hunji. Where did you go and only come back now?





You won’t even let me leave."

"Please, just take my car up tonight.





I’m begging you."

I couldn’t refuse anymore.





The way his voice had sunk weakly




kept weighing on my mind.

"Okay.





I’ll do that."

On the way up,





I kept staring out the window.

Hunji spoke quietly.




"Um... could you play a song called Daisy?"





Without saying a word, I put the song on.





"So that’s what this song was like... nice...





listening to it together like this at night."

'If only we’d come here together like this





to look at the stars, like before...

This isn’t my place anymore either...'

I thought I was okay by now, but



my heart welled up again.

I started to hate Hunji and resent him.



Hunji and I both





couldn’t say anything to each other,

and that was how we went up to Seoul.

Passing through the apartment complex gate, I stopped the car.





"Thanks for the ride.





Drive safely."

The moment Hunji tried to get out after me,





I got out of the car first.

That was when it happened.





I heard someone calling me.

"Junga!"





When I turned toward the voice,





Chairman Kim was standing there.

"Taehyung. What brings you here at this hour?"






"Where have you been at this hour?





With Hunji..."

Looking back, Hunji had gotten out of the car at some point





and was walking toward me.

"I told you not to get out, just go.





I’ll head up first."

"Taehyung. I’ll talk to you upstairs.




Let’s go."

I deliberately didn’t turn around.




I looped my arm through Chairman Kim’s





and headed for the entrance.

But all my attention was focused





on Hunji.

"I’ve decided not to end this like this."
