00:00These two are not a couple, let alone husband and wife, yet they live together every day.
00:04They not only share a bowl of instant noodles but also sleep in the same bed at night.
00:08The man deeply loves the girl but dares not confess his feelings.
00:10In the end, he can only send his beloved girl off to marriage as her older brother.
00:14Jack has inherited an incurable disease from his family,
00:17which could flare up at any moment and take his life.
00:19So he dares not confess his feelings to the girl he loves.
00:22Instead, he cherishes every moment he spends with Lucy.
00:25He silently protects Lucy in his own way, deeply loving her.
00:28Jack can only bury this silent love deep within his heart.
00:31Lucy loves listening to music in the rain.
00:33He thoughtfully brings her her favorite coffee,
00:35quietly accompanying her as she listens to music until late at night.
00:38One day, Jack returned home to find Lucy curled up on the sofa, crying bitterly.
00:42He asked Lucy what had happened.
00:44Lucy hugged him and cried even harder.
00:46It turned out that she had been scolded by her boss because the lyrics she wrote were not good enough.
00:50Under Jack's gentle comfort, Lucy soon stopped crying.
00:53She turned around and picked up the tape recorder on the table,
00:55and suddenly asked Jack what he most wanted to do in his next life.
00:58Taking this opportunity, Jack said what he had never dared to say in this life.
01:02He said that in his next life, he wanted to become a ring, glasses, a bed, and a diary.
01:07If that were the case, he could always be by Lucy's side.
01:10But Lucy didn't know that this was the man's true feelings.
01:13She mistakenly thought that he was just saying these things to comfort her.
01:15To find out the truth.
01:17During dinner, she asked Jack if he had any secrets he wanted to share with her.
01:20Jack casually mentioned that he liked girls.
01:22Strangely, Lucy wasn't surprised.
01:24Instead, she pressed Jack for more wishes.
01:27Jack said his wish was to see Lucy marry a healthy, kind man.
01:30He explained that he wasn't a good man.
01:32To fulfill her beloved's wish, she quickly found a dentist to be her boyfriend.
01:35When Jack found out, he felt heartbroken, but could only use the sound of flowing water to hide his tears.
01:40To confirm whether Lucy's boyfriend was reliable, Jack began to secretly investigate the dentist.
01:45He discovered that the dentist not only came from a good family background, but was also honest and kind.
01:49Most importantly, the dentist was in good health and had never suffered from any serious illnesses.
01:54The only drawback was that the dentist was already engaged.
01:57But both parties were being forced into marriage by their parents and had no real feelings for each other.
02:01During his investigation, Jack also learned that the woman was a well-known local photographer,
02:06but was cheating on the dentist behind his back.
02:08He had someone take photos of her and threatened her to immediately break off the engagement with the dentist.
02:12But the woman was very formidable and angrily told the two to get lost.
02:15His colleagues couldn't understand why he was meddling in other people's business.
02:19But Jack just said softly that time was running out.
02:21He knew he had to find a good man for his beloved Lucy to entrust her life to before he died.
02:25Find a good man for the woman he loved to spend the rest of her life with.
02:28The next day, Jack wrote a letter to the woman apologizing for his shameful behavior.
02:32He then explained why he had done it.
02:34The woman he loved, Lucy, had fallen in love with the dentist.
02:37But he was terminally ill and would soon pass away.
02:39He begged the woman to grant his dying wish to break off her engagement with the dentist,
02:43so that his beloved Lucy could find someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
02:47He also attached his medical records.
02:48The woman was moved by Jack's love and did not want to destroy the dying man's final wish.
02:53She agreed to break off her engagement with the dentist,
02:55but on the condition that Jack must be her model,
02:57because she wanted to see what photos of a dying man would look like.
03:00For the sake of his beloved girl, Jack agreed without hesitation.
03:03With his fiancée's tacit approval, Jack began to bring Lucy and the dentist together.
03:07He secretly arranged for the two to meet and get to know each other better.
03:10Then, under the pretext of work, he left early.
03:13He personally sent his beloved girl into another man's arms.
03:16Jack's heart ached terribly.
03:17But as soon as he crossed the street, his illness flared up, and he nearly fell.
03:21He struggled to stand up and quickly turned to look at the restaurant,
03:24afraid that Lucy would notice.
03:26Fortunately, they were busy eating and didn't notice anything unusual.
03:29Upon returning home, Jack ate instant noodles alone.
03:32Though he appeared calm, he was already on the brink of collapse.
03:35He mechanically ate to fill the void in his heart.
03:37Just then, Lucy suddenly returned home.
03:40She naturally took Jack's chopsticks and began eating the instant noodles.
03:43Jack also skillfully took a new pair of chopsticks and sweetly fed Lucy the side dishes.
03:47Their harmonious gestures resembled those of an old married couple.
03:50Unfortunately, they weren't even a couple.
03:52Because marriage was a dream that Jack could never achieve in his lifetime,
03:55the woman kept her promise to Jack and took the initiative to meet with the dentist and
03:59proposed to end the engagement.
04:00The dentist also felt relieved.
04:02Because during his time with Lucy, he had also been deeply attracted by her unique charm.
04:06That night, he told Lucy the news and kissed her.
04:08Although he had anticipated this step, when he actually heard Lucy say it,
04:12Jack couldn't help but lose control.
04:13He accidentally broke a glass cup.
04:15He hid in the room and cried silently, watching his beloved Lucy being taken away
04:19by someone else while he couldn't stop it.
04:20This sense of helplessness suffocated him with despair.
04:23During the photo shoot, he was shrouded in a mood of loss and sadness.
04:26And there was no sparkle in his eyes.
04:28The woman was curious about what kind of love could make someone give everything
04:31yet keep the pain for themselves.
04:32Jack thought for a moment and told the woman the answer.
04:35It turned out that love didn't have to be spoken aloud.
04:37Silently fulfilling the other person's wishes in your own way was also a form of love.
04:41After that, the dentist often came to the radio station to find Lucy.
04:44Jack would always take the opportunity to leave.
04:47Then he would hide in a corner and watch secretly.
04:49Watching the two of them interact intimately, his heart ached.
04:52If only he hadn't gotten sick.
04:53He and Lucy would definitely be a happier couple.
04:56One day, Lucy asked Jack what marriage was.
04:58He told Lucy that marriage was like a toothbrush holder.
05:00Two people together were like two toothbrushes on a toothbrush holder.
05:03Lucy was very confused.
05:05Because they were already like that now.
05:07Did that mean they were already married?
05:08Jack told her that only after the wedding ceremony was it considered marriage.
05:12Hearing this, Lucy fell into deep thought.
05:14Soon, the dentist found Jack.
05:16He brought the wedding invitations for the two of them.
05:18And asked Jack to help Lucy pick out a wedding dress.
05:20Explaining that it was Lucy's idea.
05:22That day, Lucy put on the wedding dress Jack had chosen for her.
05:25She stood tall and proud, as happy as a child.
05:27And asked Jack if it looked good.
05:29Her beloved Lucy was about to wear a wedding dress and marry someone else.
05:32His heart ached, but he forced a smile.
05:34He praised Lucy for looking beautiful in the wedding dress.
05:36The waiter thought Jack was the groom.
05:38And kept urging him to try on the groom's suit.
05:40Jack tried to explain, but Lucy encouraged him to try it on with eager anticipation.
05:44He too wanted to stand beside Lucy as the groom.
05:46After putting on the suit, the two took their own wedding photos.
05:49While changing clothes, Jack struggled to hold back tears as he undressed.
05:52How he wished he could be the groom.
05:54He didn't want Lucy to see him sad.
05:56He ran alone to the bustling street and wept uncontrollably.
05:59The emotions he had suppressed for so long were finally released.
06:01How he wished time could freeze.
06:03He wouldn't die, and Lucy wouldn't marry someone else.
06:05They would still live happily together as before.
06:07Unfortunately, reality was not a fairy tale.
06:10His condition was growing worse.
06:11He had only a few days left to spend with Lucy.
06:13He found the photographer who had taken his photos.
06:15To avoid arousing Lucy's suspicions, he planned to lie and say he was going abroad to study.
06:20He pleaded with the photographer to send Lucy a bouquet of flowers every year on her birthday after his death.
06:24The photographer was deeply moved by Jack's great love.
06:27And couldn't help but kiss Jack.
06:28He suggested that if Jack would let him be by his side before he died, he would agree to Jack's request.
06:33On the day before the wedding, the two had their last dinner together.
06:36Jack wanted to send a text message to Lucy to confess his feelings.
06:39But in the end, he silently put down his phone.
06:41He had imagined countless times the scene of confessing his feelings to Lucy.
06:45But fate cruelly shattered all her fantasies.
06:47If he couldn't promise her a lifetime of commitment, it was better to forget about himself and start a new life.
06:51On the day of the wedding, as the only family member, Jack escorted Lucy down the aisle as her brother.
06:56With a heavy heart, he handed Lucy over to the dentist.
06:59As he turned away, tears streamed down his face.
07:01Soon after, Jack passed away.
07:02The photographer kept his promise and bought a bouquet of flowers every year.
07:06But he didn't give the flowers to Lucy.
07:07Instead, he placed them in front of Jack's portrait.
07:10It turned out that shortly after Jack's death, Lucy had chosen to follow him.
07:13As the clock turned back, time returned to a day three years ago.
07:16Lucy was often up late at night but couldn't write lyrics that satisfied her.
07:19She remembered Jack had said the medicine he took could make people smarter.
07:23Lucy secretly took one of the pills Jack had been carrying.
07:25Immediately after taking it, Lucy felt dizzy and disoriented.
07:28When she went to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor told her that the medication was
07:32a painkiller for advanced cancer.
07:33Taking this medication meant that the person was in immense pain at the time.
07:37Hearing this, Lucy's world suddenly grew dark.
07:39Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
07:41Although Jack had never confessed his feelings to her, she had already regarded Jack as the
07:45only one in her life.
07:46That day, she hid on the sofa and cried not because she had been scolded by her boss,
07:49but because she had discovered that the Jack she deeply loved was about to die.
07:53That's why she kept asking Jack what his wishes were.
07:55She had made up her mind that as long as Jack asked, she would marry him.
07:58But she never imagined that Jack's only wish was for her to marry a healthy and kind man.
08:02He knew Jack was worried about him.
08:03When he heard Jack had fainted and been hospitalized, he quietly followed him there.
08:07Through Jack's conversation with the doctor, he finally accepted reality.
08:10Jack didn't have much time left.
08:12And the only thing he was worried about was him.
08:14To reassure Jack, he actively approached the man his colleagues considered a good man.
08:18Even though he didn't love that man at all.
08:19But he still forced himself to pretend to fall in love with Lucy.
08:22Then, alone in the dead of night, she listened to Jack's recording and wept uncontrollably.
08:26That day, when Jack left early, she had already seen him nearly fall.
08:30After Jack turned away, she immediately chased after him.
08:32She followed Jack closely, swearing to herself that as long as Jack would turn back,
08:36even if there was only one day left, she would marry Jack.
08:39But Jack never turned back.
08:40While eating noodles, Lucy deliberately made intimate and harmonious gestures towards Jack.
08:44She thought that if Jack told her the truth, she would do anything to make it up to him.
08:48But Jack still didn't speak.
08:49On the day of choosing the wedding dress, while Jack cried his heart out,
08:53Lucy also looked at their wedding photos and wept uncontrollably.
08:56He also wished so much that Jack was his groom.
08:58The night before the wedding, he had also considered confessing his feelings through a phone call.
09:02But he feared that once the truth was revealed, Jack would leave uneasily.
09:05So he suppressed his impulse.
09:06On the day of the wedding, Lucy walked down the aisle holding Jack's hand.
09:09Though the groom was not him.
09:11In Lucy's heart, this was their wedding.
09:12As Jack prepared to hand her hand to the dentist, she clung tightly, unwilling to let go.
09:16When Jack turned to leave, she too was already tearful.
09:19Shortly after Jack left, Lucy chose to follow him forever.
09:22But the dentist, whose sorrow was even deeper than theirs, had already known everything.
09:25On the day they picked out the wedding dress, he saw the happy expressions on their faces in
09:29the photos.
09:30But by then, he had already fallen deeply in love with Lucy.
09:32So even though he knew Lucy didn't love him, he still chose to marry her.
09:36After Lucy's death, while sorting through her belongings, he discovered her tape recorder.
09:40Moved by their unwavering love, he placed the tape recorder in front of their wedding photo.
09:44Perhaps love is like that even when your beloved is no longer by your side, you still find
09:47a way to see them.
