Transcript
00:02In my eighth year with Theo, his first love pushed me into the river, yet he made me apologize to
00:09her.
00:10Since you're fine, apologize to Gina, and let's put an end behind this.
00:17She pushed me into the river. I didn't fall, and by myself, you jumped in yourself to trick Theo and
00:25gain his sympathy. I did not-
00:28Enough! Ask me.
00:30When did you become such manipulative liar?
00:34Theo, don't you believe me?
00:40As we threw the hairpin you gave me into the river, I must find it.
00:45Calm down. Go and find that hairpin, or don't bother coming home.
00:58Theo!
01:00Theo!
01:02Theo!
01:05Ever since Gina came back, I've been your fiancé and name only.
01:10But I kept holding on.
01:13Now, I'm done.
01:19Theo, it's over between us.
01:36Hi, Esme. Here to see Theo? He's at the hospital with that other woman.
01:40Shush.
01:41Shush. Um, we'll be on our way. See you.
01:43Uh, we'll be on our way. See you.
01:48You're lucky she's so nice. Any other woman would have given you a good scolding.
01:52I still really fall in for that woman?
01:54But he and Esme have applied to get married.
01:58As great as she is, if he doesn't love her, what's the point?
02:07Come in.
02:14Morning, Joe.
02:15I need to withdraw my marriage application.
02:20Morning, Joe. I need to withdraw my marriage application.
02:24Oh, what happened? Theo just submitted it yesterday. The higher-ups haven't approved it yet.
02:29Why do you need it now? Are you calling it off?
02:33There's a mistake with my details. I need to correct them before we resubmit.
02:37Oh, that's good. I thought Gina Fox was causing problems again.
02:43Huh. You are Theo's fiancé. He needs to cool it with Gina. It doesn't look good. I'll have a chat
02:50with him.
02:53Thanks, Joe. But it's alright. Nowadays, it's all about love on your own terms.
03:00Love on your own terms?
03:17I plan to give up on Western University and spend my days married to Theo. There's no point now.
03:36School starts in five days.
03:38Theo, I'll be gone soon to start a new life without you.
03:57Gina's been feverish since the river incident. She's too ill to look after Meg. So they move here for a
04:03few days. Clean out your bedroom for them.
04:05Uncle Theo, she's the bad lady who hurt Mommy. I hate her!
04:10Theo, Esme's never liked us. She'll never agree to this. Let's go.
04:16Sure.
04:20Sure. What?
04:24What?
04:25You want my bedroom, right? Go ahead.
04:30Good. Since you admit your mistake, you can skip the apology for pushing her into the river. I won't hold
04:36it against you. For losing the hairpin, too.
04:39But Gina hasn't fully recovered yet. As my future wife, you're responsible for taking care of both of them.
04:47Fine.
04:51What were you doing in your room?
04:54Nothing much. I was just clearing out old stuff. I'll prepare their room.
05:06Have a seat.
05:24You haven't had new clothes for a while. I've saved off my money for years to exchange for these materials.
05:30When we get married, you can make new clothes.
05:32I'm sorry.
05:36I'm sorry.
06:15Take a look. If you don't like anything, I'll exchange it.
06:21Ring, earrings, bracelet, and necklace.
06:25This must have cost a bomb. Did you use all your savings?
06:29We're engaged, so I must treat you right.
06:49Golden Globes
06:50All these are meaningless now.
06:52Thea, I don't want you anymore either.
07:13Drink it while it's hot.
07:15Thanks, Theo.
07:17Theo.
07:19This mug is huge.
07:21So comforting.
07:23The temperature is perfect, too.
07:26Uncle Theo, can I just call you my daddy from now on?
07:41Ismay.
07:51Where are you going?
08:02Why are your hands so cold?
08:04Are you sick?
08:06I've prepared the room for them.
08:07I'll stay in the guest house.
08:09Gina and Mech will be in your room.
08:11They'll be in the master with me.
08:13Theo.
08:18You must have been mistaken, or are just drunk.
08:21Esmay, don't be so stubborn.
08:23You know Gina's husband asked me to look after them before he died.
08:27You must be responsible for them.
08:32Good.
08:33Gina doesn't hold the incident against you.
08:36So be reasonable.
08:42Don't do that.
08:43Hey, Theo.
08:44Theo.
08:46Theo.
08:49I don't care what you do with Gina.
08:51So please, stay out of my way.
08:53Our marriage has been approved.
08:55And the wedding is just days away.
08:59Why are you acting this way?
09:01Yeah, the wedding is just a few days away.
09:04And yet, you know nothing about our wedding plans, do you?
09:08What's this?
09:09Why are you acting like this?
09:11If you don't want to share a room with me, I'll sleep outside.
09:17Fine.
09:22Get out!
09:23Hey!
09:29She's been acting weird, ever since she fell into that river.
09:45She's been acting weird, ever since she fell into that river.
09:57Oh, no.
09:58She's got the marriage application.
10:04How dare you go through my things?
10:06Get out!
10:08You're a meanie.
10:09I hate you.
10:10You're a meanie.
10:11I hate you.
10:13Meg.
10:15Esme.
10:16What did you do to Meg?
10:18Keep an eye on your daughter.
10:19She has no right to touch my things.
10:21I'll let her slide.
10:21But one day, the world will teach her a lesson.
10:25So what if she was going through your things?
10:27You and Theo aren't married yet.
10:29You have no say in this house.
10:41And even if you were, he will always love me more than you.
10:49How dare you!
10:50Theo, you know you deserve it.
10:52What's happening here?
10:54What's wrong?
10:56Theo, we're fine.
10:59Don't worry.
11:01Uncle Theo, this meanie yelled at me and slapped Mommy!
11:07Apologize immediately.
11:10Not a chance.
11:14Theo, Esme clearly doesn't want us here.
11:18We'd better leave.
11:20You're still not well.
11:22Where would you go?
11:24Esme, apologize!
11:30Esme, apologize!
11:38I did nothing wrong.
11:40I'm not the one who should apologize.
11:42It's not a negotiation.
11:44This is an order.
11:45Apologize right now!
11:46You're ordering me?
11:48You think this is the army?
11:50I am not one of your subordinates!
11:53Esme, I can't marry a woman so consumed by jealousy.
11:57If you don't apologize, I will withdraw our application immediately and call on our engagement.
12:04If you really cared about our marriage, you'd have known I already withdrew our marriage application.
12:11Esme, I'll say this one last time.
12:14Apologize!
12:15I'm leaving the city in four days anyways.
12:19No need to stir up any more trouble.
12:22It'll be best if he never found out I took our marriage application.
12:26Fine.
12:27I'll apologize to them.
12:31That's my good girl.
12:32Only a wise, reasonable, and understanding woman is fit to be my wife.
12:38Gina, I was wrong from the start.
12:41I should have never stood between you two.
12:43Don't worry.
12:44From now on, I won't stop you from being with Theo.
12:47Whatever you want to do with him, and wherever you want to do it, I won't object.
13:00Isn't the pocket watch our token of love?
13:03It should be with my mom.
13:05Why do you have it?
13:09Why did you take back our token of love?
13:14I should have locked my suitcase.
13:16Then that brat wouldn't have been able to go through my things.
13:21I took her back a few days ago.
13:24It's my parents' anniversary in a few days.
13:26I was going to visit the cemetery and show them.
13:29It's my bad.
13:30We'll be married soon.
13:32We should pay our respect to your parents.
13:34I'll go with you.
13:35I'll let your bad behavior slide.
13:37This time, for your father's sake.
13:41Oh, thank you for your generosity.
13:52I'll be starting my new life in just one more day.
14:07Thanks, Gina.
14:11I'm so sorry, Esme.
14:13Didn't know whether you'd be eating, so I didn't make you any.
14:18Theo?
14:19Esme, it's all my fault.
14:21Don't take it out on Theo.
14:23I just wanted to know.
14:24I just wanted to know whether you're coming with me to the cemetery.
14:28If you aren't, I'm off.
14:32I promised you, so of course I'll go.
14:37Let me take this.
14:40Theo.
14:43What's wrong?
14:45I'm a bit dizzy.
14:48It's all your fault, you meanie.
14:50You pushed my mom into the water and now she's sick.
14:52I hate you.
14:54Hang in there.
14:54We'll get you to the hospital.
15:00You go on ahead.
15:02Once Gina's fine, I'll meet you at the cemetery.
15:21Dad, I've been accepted into a mechanical engineering course at Western University.
15:27I've brought my ticket, and I'll leave tomorrow.
15:30Dad.
15:32Mom.
15:32Mom, please forgive me once I begin my studies.
15:39I won't be able to visit you as much.
15:42Also, Dad, I cannot fulfill your last wish.
15:48I won't marry Theo.
16:01Theo, you didn't even keep your last promise to me.
16:05If you don't show up, I'm never waiting for you again.
16:27R-R-Riko?
16:28What are you doing?
16:29My sister said you haven't consummated your marriage.
16:32Will Theo still want you?
16:34If you aren't a virgin...
16:36Don't you dare.
16:37The police will hunt you down.
16:40If Theo leaves you, my sister will rightfully become his wife.
16:44This is your final warning.
16:46Let me go.
16:47It's too late for you to ban, bitch!
16:54Hey, you!
17:07R-Riko.
17:09Riko.
17:09My poor Riko.
17:10What happened?
17:11Are you okay?
17:12Gina.
17:14Theo.
17:16Esme went crazy and stabbed me.
17:19I bled so much.
17:22Esme!
17:23If you have a problem with me, take it out on me and not him!
17:26Why did you hurt him?
17:28He's just a child!
17:31Riko tried to assault me and I stabbed him while escaping.
17:37Theo.
17:38You've got to believe me.
17:43Esme, have you no shame to make up such foul lies?
17:47Riko's a good kid.
17:48He'd never do something like that.
17:51Gina.
17:56Theo, a while ago, Esme came to my workplace.
18:00When she found out you got me that job, she went mad and started yelling and threatening me.
18:07Today, after work, she rushed out at me and stabbed me with scissors, yelling she'd kill me and that Gina's
18:15a homewrecker.
18:15So the truth is finally out.
18:17Esme, you hurt my brother to get back at me.
18:23Theo, she's your fiancé.
18:25I won't make this difficult for you.
18:28Riko, let this go.
18:30We won't press charges.
18:34Theo, you've known me for years.
18:36Surely you don't believe what they said, right?
18:41Calm down, everyone.
18:43Mr. Astor, as soon as we've done our investigations, we'll release your fiancé.
18:48No need, officer.
18:49Handle this by the book.
18:51Detain her as long as necessary.
18:53No special treatment for her.
18:57Theo, don't you believe me?
19:00Esme, you really disappointed me.
19:02I thought this was just a woman's petty jealousy.
19:05But now you've actually assaulted someone.
19:09You must face the consequences for your actions.
19:11My train leaves tomorrow.
19:13I can't stay in here.
19:14Theo, I'm begging you.
19:16Please believe me.
19:18I'm begging you.
19:19We need to curb your temper.
19:21I can let the small things slide.
19:23But this is different.
19:25You assaulted someone.
19:28Take these few days to reflect.
19:30I'll come for you in three days.
19:51Officer, may I ask a favor?
19:54I need to see someone.
20:01Esme, I've spoken to the police.
20:03They'll release you today.
20:05If Theo objects, he can come to me directly.
20:09All these years, we've seen how much you cared for Theo and how you've cared for us comrades, too.
20:16But Theo is just...
20:20Joe, thank you so much.
20:22No matter where I go next, you'll always be like a brother to me.
20:27Then as your brother, let me see you off at the train station.
20:39Joe, goodbye for now.
20:42Take care of yourself.
20:48Theo, we'll never meet again in this life.
20:55Should I go get her?
20:57She's always been afraid of the dark.
21:01Fine.
21:02Just this once.
21:03Next time, I won't give in.
21:07Theo!
21:09It's so early.
21:11Where are you going?
21:12I'm going to get Esme out.
21:13I'll be back soon.
21:17She's the future captain's wife.
21:19If you let her out now, you'll look like you're abusing your power.
21:23Plus, she'll only feel imboldened to continue behaving boldly.
21:28Better let her cool off in there for a few days.
21:30I'll discipline her once she's back.
21:34But...
21:36Theo!
21:37Theo!
21:37Theo!
21:38Theo!
21:44Huh?
21:45Mr. Astor, why are you here so early?
21:47Good timing.
21:48I've got something for you.
21:50Where's Esme?
21:51As she confessed, if she admits she's wrong, I can let it slide.
21:56Forget it.
21:57She's too stubborn.
21:58I'll just deal with her later.
22:00Let her out.
22:02Didn't you know, Miss Bloom has already left.
22:06What did you say?
22:08She left last night.
22:10Outrageous!
22:11She's my wife.
22:12She should know better than to pay so disgracefully.
22:15But she says she's not your wife.
22:18She said to pass this to you.
22:21She said, it'll explain everything.
22:33That pocket watch is token of her love.
22:36It's supposed to be with my mom.
22:38Why is it with you?
22:39Why have you taken our token back?
22:42I took it back a few days ago.
22:44My parents' anniversary is in three days.
22:46I want to take it to their grave.
22:50She secretly withdrew our marriage application, too.
23:02Esme, I never agreed to this.
23:05You cannot leave me.
23:06I won't allow it.
23:17Theo, we will never meet again.
23:20In this life.
23:23Esme!
23:27Esme!
23:45Help me wear this.
23:47It'll symbolize your pledge to me to commit to us.
24:01May God bless us with a long and happy relationship.
24:05I'll never take it off.
24:09Theo, if this breaks off, you must get me another, okay?
24:14Sure.
24:19Esme!
24:23Esme!
24:23Hey, Esme!
24:25Esme!
24:30Esme!
24:31Hey, Esme!
24:31Esme!
24:31I'll not allow this!
24:32Esme!
24:37Esme!
24:38I never said I didn't want to marry you!
24:46Esme!
25:09Esme!
25:12She'd never leave me.
25:13It's just a tantrum.
25:15She thinks threatening to call off the marriage will make me give in.
25:21I don't believe the girl who's been following me around since she was 10, taking care of me and obsessed
25:28with me will ever leave me.
25:45Theo, we haven't received any news of Esme. I'll call you right away if I have anything.
25:51It's been three days. I'll forgive you one last time.
25:56Esme, when you come back I'll resubmit our application. I don't believe you can bear to leave this place. Or
26:02me.
26:06Theo, where's Esme? We haven't seen her for a while.
26:09Look, she taught me how to cure this mate. I wanted to thank her properly. When is she going to
26:14be back?
26:15She'll be back in a few days.
26:17Did you two have a fight?
26:20She's such a kind and pleasant girl. You must treat her well. Or you'll break her heart.
26:27Haven't I done enough? I've given her everything I have.
26:32Hasn't all your attention gone to that woman, Gina?
26:37Her late husband asked me to take care of them.
26:39Since when does that mean bringing her home?
26:41I overheard Gina's daughter telling Esme once that you were her father and that they were your family and that
26:48Esme should leave.
26:50Anyone other than Esme would have slapped her for that.
26:53What?
26:54What?
27:04Mag.
27:06What are you hiding?
27:08N-nothing.
27:10Give it to me.
27:17That's enough!
27:18Esme, when did you become such a manipulative liar?
27:23Theo, why won't you believe me?
27:30Hairpin?
27:30Hairpin?
27:31Esme, it's for the hairpin you gave me. It's in the river. I have to find it.
27:35Calm down.
27:37Find that hairpin. Or, don't bother coming home.
27:42Didn't Gina say Esme threw this into the river?
27:44Mag?
27:46Why do you have this?
27:48Mag! Answer me!
27:52Mag! Answer me!
27:54I don't know, Uncle Theo! I really don't know!
28:02Theo, Riko's been arrested again! Please come with me to the police station!
28:10No!
28:12No!
28:16No!
28:19No!
28:20Theo!
28:21Gina!
28:23You have to help me! I didn't do anything wrong!
28:28They just arrested me without any proof!
28:32What happened? Why have you arrested him?
28:34Someone reported, seen a man assaulting a woman in an alley a couple days ago.
28:39The location matches the area, described by Ms. Bloom.
28:43He wanted to report the incident on the day itself, but was called away on urgent business.
28:48What?
28:52That's a lie! That's a lie! I was set up!
28:56Even if he was there, that doesn't prove anything!
29:00Riko's a good kid. He'd never do anything like this!
29:03Five-eye witnesses have accurately identified Riko Fox as the perpetrator.
29:08Plus, we interrogated him again, and his story is full of inconsistency and different from before.
29:15It's clear. He's lying!
29:18Riko Fox assaulted Ms. Bloom, then tried to frame her.
29:23We now have enough evidence to charge him with sexual assault!
29:29Theo, you've known me since I was a kid. Surely you don't believe their lies?
29:34Asmi, you really disappointed me!
29:36I thought this was but a woman's pity jealous, but now you've assaulted someone.
29:42You'll have to face the consequences.
29:45Theo, please! I'm begging you! Please believe me! Please!
29:52Theo, please help Riko. He's my only brother. If anything happens to him, I will never forgive myself!
29:59How dare you go after my woman!
30:02You... will pay for this!
30:07Theo, I'm begging you please help Riko. He's still a kid. I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding.
30:15Is no kid. Is well aware. When we arrested him, he keep bragging about his powerful brother-in-law.
30:24Who would bail him out no matter what he did. Those are the words from an ignorant and innocent child.
30:31Is well aware of what he did.
30:34But he'll be sentenced to death for sexual assault!
30:36So what? He brought the son himself!
30:39No, please, Gina. Please save me. I don't want to go to jail!
30:47Theo...
30:47For the sake of our years of friendship, please help Riko.
30:52If he goes to jail, his life will be ruined.
30:55If Riko had got this way, Asmi's life would have been ruined too.
30:59He gets exactly what he deserves.
31:02This can't be...
31:04I can't!
31:06I can't go to jail! I can't!
31:09It's all her fault!
31:11That bitch tricked and seduced me!
31:13It's her fault I've been this best!
31:16Gina, why didn't you finish the job?
31:19You should've drowned her back then!
31:21Shash Riko!
31:25Gina, why didn't you finish the job?
31:28You should've just drowned her back then!
31:30Shash Riko!
31:32Shash Riko's in shock! He's not making sense!
31:36Theo, don't mind what he says!
31:41She pushed me into the water!
31:44How else could I end up in the water?
31:46You jumped in yourself!
31:48To gain Theo's sympathy!
31:51I did not!
31:52That's enough!
31:53Asmi, when did you become such manipulative liar?
31:59Theo...
32:00Don't you believe me?
32:02Don't you believe me?
32:08Gina...
32:09So you were...
32:11The one lying to me all along!
32:17Gina...
32:18So...
32:19You were the liar all along!
32:21You pushed Asmi into the river!
32:24And she never took your hairpin, did she?
32:28No!
32:29Theo...
32:29I can explain!
32:30Explain to me why!
32:31You pushed her into the river!
32:34What else have you...
32:35Been lying about?
32:39I...
32:41So this is the real you!
32:43What a joke!
32:45I've known you for years!
32:47But it feels like I'm seeing you for the first time today!
32:53Asmi...
32:53Don't matter where you are!
32:55I must get you back!
33:02Class dismissed!
33:05I've barely thought about Theo for the past two months!
33:10Didn't think...
33:11Life without him would be...
33:12So free and beautiful!
33:15Check her out!
33:15Now Esmi is really pretty!
33:17Someone from back home...
33:18Is pursuing her!
33:20It's just been two months!
33:21And she's gotten twenty to thirty letters!
33:23I heard she's a snob!
33:25Returns every letter unopened!
33:27Hot girls always get away with it!
33:29Erin!
33:30Hey Erin!
33:31Check her out!
33:32Isn't Esmi pretty?
33:39Hey!
33:43You're talking to me?
33:45Have you got the right person?
33:46Here!
33:47Take my jacket!
33:48Your white dress...
33:49Is a bit translucent!
33:56Thanks!
33:57No problem!
33:58Returning to me in at our next class!
34:03Let's go!
34:12Ask me!
34:13More letters came for you!
34:15But...
34:16I accidentally tore it slightly!
34:18There's money inside!
34:20But I didn't take any!
34:21It's all in there!
34:22Sorry about that!
34:27It's okay!
34:28Thanks!
34:29Hmm?
34:30Aren't you going to read it?
34:32Are you going to return it to the postman again?
34:36Even the money?
34:39Hmm...
34:40Hmm...
34:40You'll return all your letters unopened!
34:43Even the postman knows you by now!
34:45But...
34:46Who's writing to you?
34:48Anyway...
34:51Someone...
34:52Who doesn't matter anymore!
34:54Hmm...
34:55Alright then!
34:56He may not matter to you,
34:58But you clearly matter to him!
35:00Otherwise,
35:01He won't keep sending you letters of money!
35:06Sometimes...
35:06What's too late might as well not matter at all!
35:15Hmm...
35:15Thea?
35:17What's he doing here?
35:21Impossible!
35:22He'd never leave Gina to chase me across the country!
35:26Hmm?
35:26My sudden departure and my defiance...
35:29Surely his ego would never stand for all that!
35:32All his letters have been returned unopened!
35:35His patience should be running out soon!
35:38Asmi?
35:39Asmi!
35:41Are you okay?
35:42I'm fine!
35:43Let's get some food!
35:44Okay!
36:02Hmm...
36:03Washing Aaron's jacket on?
36:06Hmm...
36:06I don't expect Aaron to care about you!
36:09He always seems...
36:10So loose and cool!
36:15Don't judge a book by its cover!
36:17He just seems cold on the outside!
36:19Fine fine fine!
36:22So...
36:22When are you returning the jacket?
36:25You two would've looked so good together!
36:27Like a match made in heaven!
36:34But...
36:35You're not getting rid of me easily!
36:37I'm coming with you!
36:38I can't wait to see how the special moment plays out between you two!
36:42Don't be silly!
36:43If not for you, I won't even remember his name!
36:46But he remembers yours!
36:47Oh...
36:48You have no idea how Aaron's mind works!
36:52Are you okay?
36:55My stomach hurts!
36:56I need to run!
36:58Asmi!
36:59Don't return the jacket!
37:00You must wait for me!
37:06Excuse me!
37:08Make way please!
37:09Hey careful!
37:15I'm so sorry!
37:17Sorry about that!
37:18Are you okay?
37:20Asmi!
37:25Asmi!
37:26I've already let him go!
37:28So why does seeing him again still hurt me?
37:36Get your hands off her!
37:38Sorry!
37:39But I don't take orders!
37:41Talk to me like that!
37:42And I'm even less likely to let go!
37:48Don't touch him!
37:50This is my school!
37:51You have no authority here!
37:57Done venting?
37:58If yes, come home with me!
38:05Done venting?
38:07If yes, come home with me!
38:09Done venting?
38:10We don't have...
38:11a home together!
38:13When you brought Gina and Meg into your home,
38:16they became the family you chose!
38:18I can't explain!
38:19I was only honoring my friend's last wish!
38:22I swear!
38:23Nothing improper ever happened between us!
38:27I was never interested in her from the start!
38:31No need to explain!
38:33I don't care anymore!
38:35It's too late for any of that!
38:38Theo...
38:38You and I are over!
38:41But I'm your husband!
38:44Huh!
38:45What husband?
38:46You're just my ex-boyfriend!
38:49It takes two to break up!
38:51I never agreed to this!
38:55It takes two to break up!
38:57I never agreed to this!
39:00Also, it's fine you returned all my letters unopened!
39:04But why did you refuse the money?
39:06Do you have enough to live on?
39:08You can be mad at me!
39:09But don't do this to yourself!
39:12At this point, you still think I'm just throwing a tantrum?
39:17I know Gina was an issue, but she won't be one from now on!
39:23Let go of me!
39:25Don't move!
39:32Your old one became dirty, so I went to get a replacement for you!
39:43I don't want it!
39:46Theo...
39:46You haven't changed the slightest!
39:49You have no respect for me!
39:54You haven't changed the slightest!
39:57You have no respect for me!
39:59That's me!
40:01You never listened to me!
40:05That's why you believed Gina!
40:07When she framed me and let Meg walk all over me!
40:10You only ever cared about yourself!
40:12Nothing's changed!
40:13The moment I took this off, it became trash to me!
40:17Yet in your arrogance, you still try to force me to put it on!
40:24Theo...
40:24You disgust me!
40:30I don't want this!
40:31And I don't want you!
40:34Theo, do you understand?
40:36I don't want you anymore!
40:39Stay away!
40:40From me, from now on!
40:43It's me!
40:55I don't want you to lose the light!
40:57I don't want you to lose the light!
41:00You're too late!
41:01I'm too late!
41:04I'm too late!
41:06I'm too late!
41:07I'm too late!
41:09I'm too late!
41:10I'm too late!
41:10Stop following me!
41:12Where are you going to give my jacket back?
41:13You're still holding on to it!
41:15What? You like it?
41:17Don't want to let go?
41:18Sorry about that!
41:19I forgot!
41:20I've washed it!
41:21Thank you!
41:22It's okay!
41:23I'm a grown man!
41:24I'm not that pretty!
41:27Just cry if you want to!
41:29Don't hold back!
41:30I won't judge you!
41:38I'm not crying!
41:41Hey!
41:42Don't be so stubborn!
41:44It'll backfire!
41:54Asmi, you didn't bring me along when you returned Aaron's jacket!
41:57That was pretty inconsiderate!
41:59But I won't be mad about it!
42:00I will still share my new fun with you!
42:03You should read more books!
42:04It's better than just fun!
42:05Aw, jeez, Asmi!
42:08Oh, Asmi, listen to me!
42:09There's this new tall handsome guy at school!
42:12He's a captain!
42:12He's always around here!
42:14Next time, I'll bring you along!
42:18Thea?
42:18Yeah!
42:19Him!
42:20Hey!
42:21How do you know about him?
42:22Don't you usually avoid going out?
42:24Isn't he from Sutton?
42:26Why is he staying in Weston?
42:28Oh, who cares about that?
42:30He's handsome!
42:31I just love checking them out!
42:33Sofia, don't even think about it!
42:35Sure, Mr. Astro is handsome, but that has nothing to do with us!
42:38He only transferred here because his wife got into college!
42:43I see!
42:45Well...
42:46That's too bad!
42:51It's been a while since I've seen Theo!
42:53I thought someone as proud as him would leave!
42:55But he actually transferred to Weston!
43:01This is your favorite!
43:03It's veggies and lard filling!
43:04They're still warm!
43:05Even if you have an early class!
43:06Make sure to eat breakfast!
43:08I thought I had made myself clear!
43:16This is unbelievable!
43:19Speak of the devil!
43:21Sofia just mentioned Mr. Astro and today he shows up right below our dorm!
43:25Wow, she really got to meet him!
43:27I saw him too!
43:29Tell me...
43:30Do you think Mr. Astro's wife could be staying in the same building as us?
43:34Hey, Esme!
43:35Did you see Mr. Astro today?
43:39Hey, Esme!
43:40Did you see Mr. Astro today?
43:42How does he look?
43:43Is he handsome?
43:45I...
43:45Come on!
43:46Esme is so reserved!
43:48Even if he was in front of her, she wouldn't notice!
43:51That's true...
43:52Esme!
43:53Esme!
43:54Mr. Astro asked me to give you this letter!
43:56There's money inside!
43:57He's worried you're short on money and that life will be hard!
44:00He said it's okay if you don't want to meet him, but you must take the money!
44:10Esme!
44:11You are Mr. Astro's wife, right?
44:13The letter you got before must have been from him too!
44:20Are you two fighting?
44:23We've called off the marriage, so I'm not his wife anymore!
44:27Sophia, thanks for helping this time, but can you not bring things from him to me next
44:32time?
44:34Uh, uh...
44:35Sure!
44:36I'm definitely on your side!
44:37The gossip-loving Sophia doesn't have any questions for me this time?
44:42It must be something unpleasant if you don't want me to bring this up!
44:46With him acting that way, you still won't take the money!
44:50Then he must be in the wrong!
44:52Don't worry!
44:52I just enjoy gossip!
44:54I won't pry into privacy!
44:57Yeah!
44:58Us too!
45:01Thank you!
45:08I plan to return the money to Theo when I see him again.
45:11He shows up without warning every time.
45:14Now that I want to return the money, he hasn't appeared in a while.
45:19See her?
45:19She says may bloom!
45:24See her?
45:25She says may bloom!
45:26Oh, it's her!
45:27She's pretty!
45:28I didn't expect her to do such things.
45:30We really can't judge a book by its cover.
45:34What are you talking about?
45:35What did I do?
45:44You evil mistress!
45:46I'll kill you, you wicked woman!
45:59Esme, you evil mistress!
46:01It's all your fault!
46:02Uncle Theo no longer wants mommy and me!
46:03He didn't even come home!
46:16We can't judge a book by its cover.
46:18You always seem so well-behaved and honest, but you're secretly scandalous.
46:22Theo's wife and child are here to confront you.
46:25What a disgrace to our school!
46:26I'm not a homewrecker!
46:27Theo has a daughter.
46:28Doesn't that make you a homewrecker?
46:29You should be expelled from school.
46:32Esme, I've been looking for you for quite some time.
46:34It really is not easy to find a homewrecker.
46:36To find someone in Western U.
46:37We finally met.
46:38After half of the people in the school realized that they needed to find you.
46:43Didn't you come here to spread rumors on purpose?
46:46You never wanted things to go well for me.
46:48You're pretending to be good now.
46:50Where is Theo?
46:51I don't know.
46:52How could you not know?
46:53He transferred here because of you.
46:55He would have better opportunities.
46:57What does that have to do with me?
46:58It has nothing to do with you either.
47:01You can't even find out where he is after all.
47:04Bad woman!
47:05Homewrecker!
47:05You're picking up my mom again!
47:09I'm not arguing as she's just a kid.
47:11You've raised her to be a liar.
47:13Aren't you worried about the consequences you'll face once you're out in the real world?
47:17Apologize to me!
47:18How dare you try to teach me?
47:20You should worry about yourself first.
47:23If you don't want your reputation to be ruined, tell me where Theo is right now.
47:30I used to be foolish, so I didn't want to fight and give up on Theo.
47:35But Theo means nothing to me now.
47:38Do you think I'll still put up with you and your ill-mannered child making a scene in front of
47:43me?
47:44So, you're deliberately hiding Theo's whereabouts.
47:50Everyone, check this out! This homewrecker is picking on me!
47:53Why would a prestigious place like Weston Yu produce such a shameless homewrecker?
48:00Gina, you're looking for Theo with such hostility and aggressiveness.
48:05Not afraid of him seeing your true colors?
48:07How dare you mock me!
48:17I said I wouldn't hit Meg back, but I never said I wouldn't hit you back.
48:21How dare you hit me!
48:23Don't you know I'm bold?
48:25Is one slap not enough?
48:28Yes ma'am warning you!
48:29You better know your place!
48:31Back out immediately!
48:32Stay away from Theo!
48:33Stop bothering him!
48:35Otherwise, I'll come to here every day to make a scene!
48:38Looks like Theo hasn't told you yet.
48:40We broke up quite a while.
48:42Your relationship with him is none of my business.
48:45You treat him like a treasure, but you should ask if he feels the same.
48:49That's impossible!
48:50You gave up the status of a captain's wife!
48:53I don't believe it.
48:55I won't believe it no matter what!
48:59I won't believe it no matter what!
49:01Exactly!
49:01My mom and I will never believe you!
49:03You're just a bad woman full of lies!
49:05You've been with Uncle Theo for years!
49:07Why would you possibly give up?
49:09Esme, are you playing hard to get by coming to Weston on purpose?
49:13Do you want Theo to feel guilty and not move on?
49:17Excuse me!
49:24She's got someone new now!
49:26Theo has already been forgotten!
49:29You...
49:31I know!
49:32I'm much better than Theo!
49:42Esme is really a home wrecker and a great seducer!
49:45She seduced a married man first?
49:47Now she's even targeting her male classmate!
49:49Darren isn't just an ordinary student.
49:51He's the grandson of the Holtz from Baxter!
49:54Any questions?
49:56If not, get out of here!
49:58I didn't mean to pick on her.
50:00I just want to know where Theo is.
50:02But she refuses to share even that much information with me.
50:06It seems you're a fool!
50:08What?
50:09You're too dumb to understand us!
50:12You...
50:12Don't act innocent and play the victim!
50:14That doesn't work on me!
50:16I've seen it all before!
50:17She's already give up on Theo quite a long time!
50:19If you're looking for him, try somewhere else!
50:21It's usually to ask her!
50:23Your good man Theo has been dumped like trash by her!
50:26Do you understand now?
50:26Even a fool should get it by this point!
50:30I don't believe she'd give up on Theo so easily!
50:33Don't let her fool you!
50:34Exactly!
50:35This wicked woman stayed with Uncle Theo for 8 years!
50:37There's no way she'd just give up!
50:39She's a home wrecker!
50:42Meg, you said I've been with Theo for 8 years.
50:45But you're not even 8 years old yet!
50:47Who's the home wrecker here?
50:52Everyone, I'm just an upright!
50:55I have nothing to fear from idle gossip!
50:57If one has good judgement, they should be able to see who the real home wrecker is!
51:07Meg is too young to understand!
51:09And so do you!
51:11She's only 5 years old, but I've been with Theo for 8 years!
51:14Who on earth is the home wrecker?
51:17I know you hope that Meg is Theo's child!
51:21But she isn't!
51:22You know better than anyone!
51:23Don't fool yourself while lying to others!
51:26How shameless!
51:27Gina brought her here to deceive and manipulate us!
51:31Meg is so young, but she already lies easily!
51:34Gina isn't the legal wife!
51:35Why is she so competent for her?
51:36We were almost tricked!
51:38We even picked on Esme!
51:39Gina's been out of line!
51:41Get out of here!
51:42Get out!
51:43Get out!
51:43Get out!
51:44Go away!
51:45Get out!
51:46Esme!
51:46You're lucky this time!
51:48Just you wait and see!
51:49Don't think it's over!
51:58I bumped into you every time I was in trouble!
52:01Thank you for willing to sacrifice your reputation to help me today!
52:06Thank you too!
52:08For choosing to believe in me!
52:13I only believe what I see!
52:18What happened today also made me realize that it's time to end my relationship with Theo!
52:34Hello!
52:35I'm looking for Theo!
52:36Esme!
52:37I've done a lot to track down Theo's location!
52:40Unexpectedly, you came to the military base to seduce him on purpose!
52:46Hello ma'am!
52:47Who are you?
52:48I'm Gina Fox!
52:49I'm here to find Theo Aster!
52:51This lady Esme has been bothering him for a long time!
52:56He has made it clear that he is no longer interested in her, but she came to the military base
53:00to disturb him!
53:02How shameful!
53:03You just have to pass on my message to him!
53:06But-
53:06I'm doing this for your own good!
53:08Theo gets upset whenever he sees her!
53:10If you offend him because of her, he will definitely punish you!
53:14This-
53:15Gina, you must have been having a hard time, huh?
53:18You- what are you talking about?
53:20If your life were getting better, you'd be living inside now!
53:24You wouldn't just be here, talking nonsense!
53:27You're afraid I might meet Theo!
53:28Theo doesn't know that!
53:30You came to my school to cause trouble, right?
53:33You-
53:37She caused trouble at your school?
53:42Theo, I finally found you!
53:46What trouble did she cause? Did it affect you?
53:49Theo, why didn't you tell me that you transferred to Weston?
53:54I spent months searching for you!
53:56Why don't you look at me at all?
53:59What were you doing at Weston, you?
54:01Tell me!
54:04I went there to find Esme.
54:07I just wanted to ask her about your whereabouts.
54:10But Esme refused to tell me.
54:13She even cozied up with another man while insulting me!
54:16Gina, did you cause trouble for Esme again?
54:22Gina, did you cause trouble for Esme?
54:25No, I didn't!
54:27I just care about you too much!
54:29Gina, even though you've been dishonest, I don't want to break my promise to Adam.
54:35When I left Sutton, I entrusted a few people to look after you and Meg.
54:40In hindsight, I shouldn't give you any hope at all.
54:43If this is the case, I'll stop providing you the monthly living expenses.
54:49From now on, she's not allowed to show up around here!
54:52Yes, sir!
54:53Let's go in.
54:57You promised to take care of me, no matter where you go!
55:01I'll bring Meg and follow you!
55:02Don't ever think about abandoning us!
55:04Riko was sentenced to jail!
55:06I have no relatives left!
55:07You're the only one I can rely on!
55:11Don't abandon me!
55:13Gina, you can never rely on anyone else, except yourself.
55:17I hate your shamelessness.
55:19But I also hope you'll realize soon, take good care of Meg while there's still time.
55:28Jill!
55:29Jill!
55:31Jill!
55:32Jill!
55:32Jill!
55:35Jill!
55:36Have a seat.
55:50Azme, why are you here today?
55:53I've never used the money.
55:55You don't have to give money.
55:56To Gina and me.
56:02I've never had anything with Gina.
56:04There's never been any intimacy between us.
56:08I swear.
56:09You want to study, so I won't disrupt you.
56:12I'll wait until you've calmed down.
56:15I used to think you didn't like me that much, because you liked Gina.
56:20But today I found out that you don't have feelings for her either.
56:24Theo, you only love yourself.
56:27I finally realize it now.
56:29In the past, I didn't know how to love someone.
56:31But from now on, I'll learn.
56:34Tomorrow I'll apply for a transfer to Rusby.
56:36You won't see me again.
56:38I know you only believe in yourself.
56:40Refusing you is useless.
56:41I'm telling you this now, so that you'll see how determined I am.
56:46You're going to Rusby?
56:49Yes.
56:52Life in Rusby is tough.
56:53Everyone must hide their identity for confidentiality.
56:56They're not allowed to step out of Rusby for years.
56:59They must dedicate themselves to research.
57:01Outside can't contact them.
57:03Esme, are you being cruel to yourself just to leave me?
57:07I used to be confined to a small world.
57:10My entire world revolved around your happiness, anger, and sorrow.
57:14But after stepping out, I realized that there are countless possibilities in life.
57:18Developing a country may be difficult, but that doesn't mean it's not fulfilling.
57:23Esme, please, give me one more chance.
57:26Theo, let's part ways here.
57:28The world is vast. I'll see you when I see you.
57:31I hope Gina will come to our senses soon.
57:33You too.
57:37Esme!
57:41The sun's going down. It's water under the bridge.
57:44But this is just the beginning of my bright future.
57:57Two years later, Aaron showed up as well.
58:00He arched his eyebrow at me.
58:02Just like when we first met.
58:04Three years later, Aaron and I got together.
58:10Bright and groom, stay close.
58:12Five years later, Aaron and I got married.
58:15Smile. Good. Hold it.
58:18Three, two, one.
58:23I finally have a home again.
58:36Six years later, I gave birth to an adorable baby.
58:44Baby.
58:46Baby.
58:46My baby?
58:47Baby.
59:00Theo, I know you still miss Esme, but you're not young anymore.
59:06It's time to let go and move on.
59:09Esme is doing well.
59:10She sent a letter to me and your dad this year.
59:13She got married.
59:15She gave birth to a baby boy this year.
59:17She's very happy.
59:18She's doing fine without you as well.
59:25She's doing fine without you.
59:26But...
59:28I feel like...
59:31I haven't been doing well after losing her.
59:46I haven't been doing well after losing her.
59:49I get it now.
59:51Something broken...
59:55Can never be fixed again.
59:56I'm sorry.
59:58I've been doing well after losing her.
59:59I'm sorry.
00:00You did not want to do it for me.
