00:00To test how high up I was, I threw down my high heel.
00:03But it took five minutes before I heard it hit the ground.
00:06I panicked instantly.
00:08But to escape from this place, I threw down the other one too.
00:11But just as I turned around to climb down, an accident happened.
00:17I lost my balance and was about to fall.
00:20At the critical moment, I desperately grabbed the edge of the platform.
00:23But I still fell down.
00:24When I was still a model, my husband fell in love with me at first sight.
00:32We quickly became husband and wife.
00:35But one morning after waking up, my husband installed a stand in the house.
00:39But its purpose wasn't to display objects.
00:42It was for me.
00:43Then he walked to the desk across from me and said,
00:46Look, if I could just gaze up at you whenever I wanted, it would make me feel invincible.
00:52Under my husband's sweet words, I quit my job and sat on it every day.
00:57It's worth mentioning that my husband gave me gifts every day,
01:01even though his reasons were far-fetched.
01:03Happy Bastille Day.
01:05What? We're not French.
01:08And I would dress up carefully every day to greet him.
01:11But gradually, I stopped receiving gifts and got air kisses instead.
01:15But gradually, I noticed that my husband started burying himself in work,
01:19and his words became perfunctory.
01:21I tried singing to attract his attention, but he reminded me to stop talking.
01:26So I dressed up even more carefully, but my husband stopped looking at me.
01:30He even had the servants move the desk so he could turn completely away.
01:35Three years passed, and I still changed into beautiful clothes and wore nice makeup.
01:39But my husband no longer came to see me.
01:42In anger, I jumped down from the stand,
01:44only to discover that what seemed like a height of thousands of feet
01:48was only two meters from the ground.
