00:00A young girl with terminal cancer follows her mother to her stepfather's home for the first time.
00:04He says coldly, I just changed the carpet today.
00:06Yet during the little time, she has left to live.
00:08The only real care she receives comes precisely from the stepfather,
00:11who seems so indifferent on the surface.
00:12He welcomes her with the warmth she has long yearned for,
00:14while deliberately keeping his distance.
00:16He tells her, in this house, you don't need to live so cautiously.
00:19In her previous life, she had been tormented by illness.
00:22All her life, she worked desperately to help her gambling-addicted father repay his debts,
00:26even sacrificing her own life to awaken his conscience.
00:28In the end, thanks to a property demolition project, her father became a multi-millionaire.
00:32But after being reborn, her younger sister firmly chose to follow their gambling father.
00:36The girl then realizes that her sister, too, has been reincarnated.
00:40As for her, she simply follows her mother to her stepfather's home with detachment.
00:43On the way, her mother keeps reminding her of countless rules so as not to upset the stepfather.
00:47Everything she knows about him comes from her sister.
00:49In her previous life, her sister claims she had suffered cold violence from the stepfather
00:52and had died of depression.
00:54But the girl doesn't care.
00:55With terminal cancer, she only wants to find a place where she can spend the little time she has left.
00:59When she meets her stepfather for the first time, she is extremely nervous.
01:02He orders her to stay in the guest room.
01:03However, she longs for the sun-facing room, so she can feel more warmth.
01:07Her mother scolds her, but the stepfather intervenes.
01:09Live wherever you want.
01:10He always seems able to sense the excessive caution hidden beneath her calm exterior.
01:13He helps ease her discomfort.
01:15After that, the girl spends her days sitting in the sunlight on the balcony.
01:18The stepfather silently watches her from the side, without knowing why.
01:21She feels that he carries the same scent as she does, the scent of someone whose life is running out.
01:26She believes she has perfectly hidden her illness.
01:28Yet when he hands her a towel one day, he has already understood everything.
01:31By chance, she later discovers a secret.
01:33He takes the same nutritional supplements as she does.
01:35At that moment, she realizes they are both living under a countdown.
01:38One night, tortured by pain and unable to sleep, she runs into him, also awake.
01:42He invites her to play chess.
01:44During the game, she notices he often repeats the same small movement.
01:47He is enduring pain.
01:48She had thought she hid her own suffering perfectly.
01:50At the end of the game, he suddenly asks,
01:52How long do you plan to keep your diagnosis hidden under your pillow?
01:54She immediately replies,
01:56And what about you?
01:57So they make a pact.
01:57Each will keep the other's secret.
01:59Days pass, and the girl's condition worsens.
02:01So does the stepfathers.
02:02They are like two ghosts living under the same roof, protecting and watching over each other.
02:06This fragile piece is broken by a phone call.
02:08Her sister calls their mother asking for money.
02:10Their gambling father has sold the house and accumulated 50,000 euros in gambling debts.
02:14The mother begs her daughter,
02:15Go ask your stepfather to lend you money.
02:16The girl firmly refuses.
02:18In response, her mother slaps her.
02:19The stepfather shouts,
02:21Who allowed you to hit her?
02:22The mother stands speechless, stunned.
02:24But the stepfather announces he will pay.
02:25The girl doesn't understand why he agreed.
02:27He simply answers,
02:28If spending money can buy you peace, why not?
02:29After that, the chessboard becomes their shared way to endure pain.
02:32But one day, the girl's condition suddenly deteriorates.
02:35To conceal her illness, the stepfather does not take her to the hospital.
02:38Instead, he calls his private doctor.
02:40The diagnosis is clear.
02:41She could pass away at any moment.
02:43Yet she remains surprisingly calm.
02:44Her sister's arrival once again disrupts their peaceful life.
02:47She cannot understand why.
02:48In this new life, after choosing to follow their biological father, he did not become a multi-millionaire as before.
02:53She blurts out the story of her previous life.
02:55Their mother, shocked, asks what she means.
02:57The sister declares,
02:58I was reincarnated, and so was she.
03:00In the previous life, dad became a multi-millionaire.
03:03But I was driven into depression by her husband.
03:04The mother and the stepfather are deeply shaken.
03:07Then the girl speaks,
03:07Dad quit gambling at the cost of my life.
03:09Even while suffering from cancer, I worked more than 10 hours a day to help him repay his debts.
03:13That's how I awakened his conscience.
03:14That's why the house came later.
03:16But in this life, no one is repaying his debts for him.
03:18How could the same result possibly happen?
03:20The sister explodes in anger.
03:21At that moment, the mother, suddenly frightened, whispers,
03:24What do you mean?
03:24The girl replies calmly,
03:26Mom, what my sister says is true.
