Transcript
00:00My girlfriend, who died in yesterday's car accident, was actually sleeping next to me.
00:08I was so scared I couldn't speak coherently.
00:12While I was still in shock, Samantha hugged me tightly and told me it was just a nightmare.
00:17The joy of getting her back left me confused, but I quickly realized things weren't that simple.
00:22She said the same things as yesterday, and her behavior was exactly the same as yesterday.
00:26When leaving for work, to avoid her getting stained by a passerby's soda, I deliberately took a different route,
00:32but I still ran into the same two people who spilled soda yesterday.
00:35I quickly shielded her, but soon after, her sweater still got stained by another passerby.
00:40To avoid losing her again, I was almost going crazy.
00:43All these things that are happening today, every single one, I already knew they would happen.
00:47What do you mean?
00:48The leather jacket, the burn, the Coca-Cola spilled on your sweater, I already saw.
00:53Or dreamt those things. I mean, some of them happened a little differently.
00:57But when she asked me what happened in my dream that made me so terrified,
01:00I still couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth.
01:02I only said my watch would break.
01:04To put my mind at ease, she came with me to work.
01:07When we arrived at my office building, and I saw the watch was perfectly fine, I felt relieved.
01:11During the meeting, I kept looking toward the door, because yesterday at this time, Samantha brought me documents.
01:16But until the meeting ended, I never saw her.
01:19I quickly took a cab to find her, and it was the same driver as yesterday.
01:23I excitedly asked him how to prevent the tragedy from happening.
01:26Just one thing. Appreciate her. And what you have, just love her.
01:33I frantically tried to pay and get out.
01:35You paid me yesterday. Better hurry up. You haven't got much time.
01:40After hearing this, I searched frantically for Samantha.
01:43I finally found her at my friend's exhibition.
01:45I immediately pulled her toward the train station.
01:48But after going outside, I saw a car accident nearly happen on the road.
01:51This strengthened my resolve to take her away.
01:54I brought her to the cottage in my hometown.
01:56But while starting a fire, my watch hit the fireplace next to me.
01:59The watch broke, anyway.
02:01That's when I understood that what's meant to happen will always happen.
02:05If you had one day left, what would you do?
02:09It's an easy answer.
02:12I'd spend it with you.
02:15Just being together, kind of like now.
02:19Doing nothing.
02:21This rushed trip brought us closer again.
02:23But tonight was Samantha's graduation recital that she'd been preparing for a long time.
02:28Although I really wanted to stop her from going back, she didn't want to leave any regrets.
02:32As expected, the recital went smoothly.
02:35On the way home, it started raining heavily.
02:37I knew I didn't have much time left.
02:39I love you.
02:40I love you too.
02:41I want to tell you why I love you.
02:44It's raining.
02:45You know that, right?
02:46I have to tell you this and you need to hear it.
02:50I loved you since I met you.
02:52But I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today.
02:57I was always thinking ahead.
03:00Making decisions out of fear.
03:02Today.
03:03Because of you.
03:05What I learned from you.
03:07Every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed.
03:14And I've learned that if you do that, then you're living your life fully.
03:20It doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years.
03:25Samantha, if not for today, not for you.
03:30I would never have known love at all.
03:33So thank you for being the person who taught me to love.
03:39And to be loved.
03:41The gears of fate were turning and we still got in the car heading home.
03:45The bell of death would ring again at eleven o'clock.
03:48My breathing became rapid as scenes from yesterday flashed through my mind.
03:52Suddenly a car came crashing toward us.
03:54And I didn't hesitate to shield Samantha.
03:56It was the same life and death separation.
03:59Except this time, I was the one leaving.
04:01Right before we got into the cabin, he told me about how I taught him to love.
04:10Loving you was so easy for me.
