Maginot Line with you
[Episode 5] It was too much



_A few days later


''Here, another caramel macchiato_''


윤여주
Is it take-out or are you eating in?

''It's packaging.''


윤여주
Yes- ((smile


''Do you happen to get chiffon cakes packaged here?''


윤여주
Oh, just a moment


윤여주
Yes, yes, it will be packed. Shall I pack it for you?

Dingling

Ding-


윤여주
Welcome



These days, um... I'm so busy I can't even blink

Since it is a cafe that has only recently opened, there are many people who stop by out of curiosity.

Maybe because there is a large company across from the cafe, it is usually very crowded during lunch time.


Still, it's fortunate that I don't have to worry about distracting thoughts because I keep moving my body without rest.


bang))

Chi-ik

Chiiik_


Lunch is coming soon,

It was also the time when there was the most preparation to be done in preparation for the influx of people.


And at that busiest time, the boss suddenly calls her.

The man who became the owner of a large cafe at a relatively young age was also an object of admiration for her.


필요한역/??
Miss? Here, please throw away the trash.


윤여주
Yes? Right now? I'm a little busy right now...

필요한역/??
I'll do what you're doing, so please? ((Smile


윤여주
Oh, yeah...



Dingling

Ddallang_


_The alley behind the cafe,



bang))



윤여주
....Phew,.. ((Put a large trash bag on the floor


No matter how old he is, no matter what his attitude is, he is my boss now.

It was natural that I had to follow her orders, whether I liked it or not, but it was quite sad.


That person is definitely receiving a reward for his efforts.

That person must have invested a lot of time and effort to achieve that.

That person is also clearly...



윤여주
......

But why me...


No matter how hard you struggle, you can't get what you want..?

회사원
Team leader,


전정국
....?

회사원
It's lunch time. Aren't you going to have lunch?


전정국
ah...



전정국
I'm done, you guys go and have a go

회사원
..ah....

회사원
Hey, I heard there's a new cafe opening across from the company. Should I go buy some coffee?


전정국
I don't drink caffeine. It's okay.

회사원
....yes yes,.

회사원
.....


taktak,

tak, tak

Wooung_

Tick))


People started leaving each seat that had been filling up one floor,

The sound of typing echoes quietly in that empty place


Soon after, the system, judging that there are not many people, turns off the lights autonomously.



전정국
.....

The vision darkened in an instant,

Perhaps, if you feel a strange sense of security in that space where you are alone.


Am I normal?

전정국

전정국
- ..hello,

정국 / 모
- Oh, right_ Is it the company?

정국 / 모
- I called because it seemed like it was lunchtime, son.

정국 / 모
- Eat well and go.


전정국
- Please get to the point first. Don't talk nonsense.


정국 / 모
- Oh..oh my, you_

정국 / 모
- Mom, I'm on my way to your house now. I'll check on you and see how you're doing.

정국 / 모
- Now, I should see my daughter-in-law's face for the first time in a while.


전정국
- .....


전정국
- ...I told you not to call me that, because I'm not your daughter-in-law.

정국 / 모
- Oh my? I call the person who becomes my son's wife my daughter-in-law. What do you call her then?

정국 / 모
- You... Are you still cold to her?



전정국
- .....

Yes, this marriage will be a happy occasion for your family.

The proud prosecutor son was kicked out due to corruption, and the second son, who just went out to play, married into a wealthy family overnight.

What slope could be better than this? lol


You don't know how much my life was ruined because of that shitty perception



전정국
- ...Okay, and... from now on, when you go to my house, please ask me before you go.


전정국
- He's clearly feeling burdened. When his mother leaves,

정국 / 모
- Oh my, do you think this mother-in-law is that tight-fisted?

정국 / 모
- I'll do better than you, so stop talking and hang up!

Stop))



전정국
...huh, huh....


전정국
.......


전정국
.....((snickers


Druk

Druk_


The chair wheels roll back with a dull thud, and Jeong-guk gets up from his seat.

I loosen my tie, which has been tight since morning, and walk slowly down the dark hallway.

Of course, to the steam room



The whole thing about not drinking caffeine is a lie.



Dingling

윤여주
Welcome, hehe

((Walks to the counter with other office workers


회사원
Hey, but isn't our team leader a bit unlucky?

필요한역/??
What? Why?

회사원
No... I don't think it's a bad thing to rise to that position at a young age, but... it seems like you lack empathy.

회사원
Anyway, I keep hitting the wall

필요한역/??
I admit that

필요한역/??
Team leader, you don't really eat lunch, no... I've never seen you eat at all.

회사원
I asked if I wanted to buy coffee today and got rejected.

회사원
If someone shows you a favor, you'll at least pretend to receive it, lol

회사원
You still use formal language with us,


회사원
Well, there are all kinds of people in the world.



윤여주
......


윤여주
.....((smile


윤여주
Order, can I help you?

회사원
Oh, please add a shot to this Americano, so I can have three... no, just two.


윤여주
Are you packing it up?

회사원
Yes? Oh, yes, yes


필요한역/??
Whisper)) Hey, shouldn't I buy at least one of the team leader's aids?


윤여주
.....?

회사원
Oh, okay, it's going to get picked on anyway, so why spend money on it?

_Again

Ding dong-))


Suddenly

Bam-


백시혜
...Who are you,


백시혜
mother..?

정국 / 모
Oh, yeah, honey - it's been a while



A long apartment complex in the city center

And inside there is a very nice apartment on the 21st floor, unit 3


A living room interior with a large area of about 50 pyeong, decorated with wood to create a familiar feel.

A clean kitchen, a spacious living room, and a study.


She smiled faintly as she watched Shihye, who was waiting for her, step back slightly from the front door.


정국 / 모
Yeah, ((smile

정국 / 모
Sorry for coming so suddenly


백시혜
Ah.. haha no, mom, I told you before that you can come anytime ((smile


Sihye, with her long wavy hair down to her chest and tied to one side, wearing a flowing one-piece dress.

He quickly approaches her, takes her coat, and smiles brightly.

In a world of fresh and beautiful appearance


'I don't know why my son is so obsessed with work and neglecting such precious children.'


She was the one who suppressed the resentment rising inside her and smiled brightly as she looked at the woman looking at her.


정국 / 모
Walking to the kitchen)) What are you eating these days?

정국 / 모
Prices have gone up so much... I'm worried about what I'll eat, kid.


백시혜
Ah, heh.. I just occasionally prepare it and usually just eat it like that.


백시혜
..Jungkook doesn't come home often because of work... and since he's home alone... he doesn't have an appetite... haha

정국 / 모
Oh my, you left me home alone and went out?


백시혜
No, no! I just know that... I just rented a room at a hotel and stayed there...


백시혜
Sometimes I come home every few days...



백시혜
..Still,..I come here quite often these days! Really..!


정국 / 모
Oh my, let me be serious for once.

정국 / 모
No matter how busy I am, that's not the case


백시혜
.....


백시혜
....((Besisi



백시혜
Oh, ah! Should I get you a cup of tea? Since you're here...

정국 / 모
Okay_ what,

정국 / 모
I didn't come here to burden you, so don't be too restless.


백시혜
...yeah..hehe


My heart swelled for no reason

Now I feel like I finally have someone I can lean on..?

If my mother were on my side, there would be some changes,


I think it's okay to look forward to it...



정국 / 모
Oh, but how do you guys sleep?


백시혜
N, yes...?

정국 / 모
No, well... I'm not asking you guys anything, but... we're both in our thirties now...

정국 / 모
I thought I was old enough to see my grandchildren.


백시혜
....ah...


백시혜
...s,actually..


백시혜
.....



백시혜
..sleep,..each room, is being used...still,.

정국 / 모
What? Still?

정국 / 모
Isn't that too much?

정국 / 모
How, it's been over 7 years since we got married...


백시혜
....


정국 / 모
So, how do you divide the room?


백시혜
J, I use the master bedroom... ...Jungkook uses the study...

정국 / 모
...Oh my..! I'm so embarrassed..!!


정국 / 모
Where is that study! This kind of thing should have been nixed quickly...


백시혜
...But still... I told you not to go in... I asked you to...

She was standing in the living room, pounding her chest as if she was frustrated,

Next to him, Sihye is smiling awkwardly

She soon approached the study with thumping steps.



백시혜
Still, Mother...


백시혜
...Wouldn't it be better not to go in..?

정국 / 모
Have you been leaving this up until now with this kind of thinking?!


백시혜
.....


정국 / 모
I told you this kind of thing needs to be nixed, we need to make it so that people have no choice but to sleep in their bedrooms.


백시혜
......

In the living room... together, like a normal couple...


It's not that I'm a fox

But I have absolutely no intention of flirting with my husband.


just...

If you try this, you'll be able to achieve the normal family life you've always wanted...

..hope that I can find even a little bit,


Click

Click_



And the line that must never be crossed, the line that was crossed by that vague hope


''To win someone's heart, don't do what they like...''




''I shouldn't have done what I hated''



Squeak

Squeak_



The wind felt as I opened the revolving door in the company lobby and came out.

As the cold wind with a slightly stale air entered my lungs, a hot breath burst out as if it had been waiting for it.



전정국
....ha...


How nice it would be if every moment were like this,

Get rid of the random thoughts that are swirling around in your head, like this


How nice it would be if I could walk with the wind



Jeobuk_

_Jeokbuk

Jeobuk_


From work to home, it takes about 40 minutes by car.

Since some time ago, after work, I started going to a nearby hotel rather than home.



Awkwardly,


A person who has a house,



thud))

Drrrrrr

Drrrrrrrr_



전정국
....?


전정국
((Look at where the sound came from



전정국
....(Is the cafe closing..?)


전정국
(I heard it's a newly opened cafe)


Of course, I'm not interested in that kind of thing



전정국
.....


전정국
....((Stop



전정국
....?




Heart pounding

Heart pounding


How nice it would be if every moment were like this,


Heart pounding

Heart pounding


Get rid of the random thoughts that are swirling around in your head, like this



Following the memory,

Following the memories,

Follow your instincts,



Knock knock knock

Knock knock knock-



Snap))



전정국
Yoon Yeo-ju! ...Haa,. Ha....


윤여주
.....?


Hwaak))



윤여주
M,what is it...who are you..,


전정국
Sigh... Phew... ...Ugh,



전정국
....


전정국
...Yoon Yeo-ju,! ((Bright




When I was little, I used to think like this


When I was still immature in my emotions,

When I was immature,



In those eyes, in his eyes, only me


There was a time when I wished that only I could be included.




...but too much time has passed,.





I'm scared of that now
