We decided not to cross the line (Season 2)

Episode 62. Successful Plan A

Fortunately, that blind date guy had

left on a business trip right away, or maybe because of that

he still hadn’t said anything to his brother-in-law

and it seemed like he hadn’t told him yet.





After a few days,

I sent Suyeon a message.





[Suyeon, the tip you told me about

I’m thinking of trying it out

Do you think it’ll actually work?]





A little while later, Suyeon replied.





[Jung-ah. Believe me.

The hearts of mothers with kids are all the same.]






I took a deep breath once and

called Hunji’s older sister.





"Hello?"





"Hello?"


I steadied my breathing for a moment and

continued.



"Um... could you spare me a little time?

I have something I’d like to say."




There was a brief silence.





"Didn’t things already end

with saying you’d break up with Hunji then?"




It was the reaction I had expected.




"Yes. I know."




I answered as calmly as I could.





"I won’t take up much of your time.

I’d just like to see you for a moment."





"...Yes. All right."


the sister answered after a moment’s hesitation.



"Let’s meet tomorrow at 2 at the place where we met then.

"






"Yes. Understood."



Only after hanging up

did I let out a long breath.





The next day,

after the busy lunchtime rush had passed,

I left the café to head to the meeting place.





When I arrived at the meeting place,

Hunji’s older sister was already there.





I sat down across from her.




Even if my plan failed,

Hunji had Plan B.




So I kept telling myself not to get too nervous

over and over again.





"What did you want to meet about?"



At her words, which went straight to the point,

I hesitated for a moment before speaking.





"Well... it’s nothing else, but

I heard from Hunji before

that his nephew is very good at studying."






"Ah... our Jinseo. "


"Yes. He does pretty well in school."





"Yes. So I thought I might be able to

help out, and I wondered what you’d think."

"What kind of help..?"






"Since I majored in English, even when I was in school






I worked part-time tutoring kids.

I taught English a lot to my friends’ children,

and to our nephews and nieces too."

I watched her expression carefully.




She seemed to be listening closely to me.

"I also have a lot of experience teaching kids




who went to foreign-language high schools or specialized high schools."

"When I heard about Jinseo from Hunji,

 

I thought maybe I could teach him."

She listened without cutting me off.





"But back then I hadn’t met you yet, so




I just thought about it and left it at that."

"You’ve taught a lot of kids preparing for specialized high schools?"





she asked cautiously.




"Yes.




So I also had them practice debate and essay writing

a lot.

Thanks to that, I heard many of them say

they felt more prepared once they got to high school."

"Ah... so those things are important too."





"Of course.





And if you get English out of the way in advance,

you can free up even a little time in high school

to focus on math or science."

"Hmm... I guess so?"





"Right. That’s why you do advanced study."





After hesitating for a moment, she said,



"But... I’m a little uneasy about it."



I looked at her.





"If it’s because of Hunji...


just think of it as a separate matter."

I took a sip of coffee and




carefully went on.

"I’ve done volunteer tutoring too,




for kids from less fortunate backgrounds.

I also like spending time with kids."

I hesitated, then continued.

"But... if it feels like a burden,


you don’t have to do it."



Hunji’s older sister seemed to be thinking as

she repeatedly picked up and set down her coffee cup.




After a while, she spoke.

"Really... could you do that for us?



Honestly, I’ve been worrying a lot about English lately.




He’s a good kid, so

I want to get him a good teacher,

but it’s been hard to find one."

"I brought it up first, after all.

I’ll do it thinking of him as my own nephew.





But I have my own main job, so

please bring him to my place or to a café."

"Oh... of course.

It’s taking up your time, Jung-a, so





we should naturally do it that way."

"Yes."

"Um... thank you...





I was harsh to you last time, too, but





you thought of this for me first."

"Not at all.

Thank you for listening without misunderstanding me."





"Misunderstanding?

From my point of view, I’m just so grateful."





'Suyeon was telling the truth!'

I cheered inwardly.






At the thought that things might actually work out,


my heart skipped a little.
