Short filmTranscript
00:00I've loved him for seven long years, but his first love is back.
00:03He's planning to have sex with her, and he told me to bring him some condoms.
00:082 a.m.
00:09The phone rings.
00:11Bring me some condoms.
00:14I'm at his door, soaked to the bone.
00:16He stares at my wet clothes.
00:18Who told you to be a good girl?
00:20I hand him the bag.
00:21Here are the magnums you wanted.
00:24He brushes my knuckles with his thumb.
00:27Isabella is not here yet.
00:28But why don't we use them first?
00:30I freeze.
00:31Then he laughs.
00:33Just kidding.
00:34I'm not that much of a jerk.
00:35I set up a blind date for you next week.
00:37You've been with me for years.
00:39I don't want you to feel mistreated.
00:41You'll go, right?
00:42His eyes are cold.
00:44I know the truth.
00:45His true love is coming back.
00:47He's disposing of me before she arrives.
00:49I clench my fists.
00:51Just send me the address.
00:53Sir.
00:53He flinches at the word, sir.
00:55I turn to leave.
00:57Wait.
00:57He says.
00:59He wraps a Burberry shawl around me.
01:02Don't leave tonight.
01:03He looks annoyed.
01:04But isn't someone else coming?
01:06You actually believe that?
01:08Do you think I'm just some total scumbag?
01:10Who else has there been but you?
01:12He carries me to the bed.
01:14But then he whispers the truth in my ear.
01:17This is the last time.
01:19Isabella is coming home tomorrow.
01:20I don't want her to suspect a thing.
01:23So be a good girl.
01:24Go to that date.
01:25The mask is finally off.
01:27He's choosing her.
01:28I don't say a word.
01:30I bit his neck hard.
01:34James is a literal machine.
01:36They say men slow down after 25.
01:38With him?
01:39That's a total lie.
01:40The sun was already coming up.
01:43He finally finished and hit the shower.
01:45I grabbed my clothes and headed out.
01:47That's our unwritten rule.
01:49He hates sleeping next to anyone.
01:51For five years, no matter how tired,
01:54I always crawled to the guest room.
01:56Next morning, I rushed downstairs.
01:59He was back from the gym.
02:00I saved some breakfast for you.
02:01No time.
02:02I'll miss my bus.
02:03I can just drive you.
02:05No!
02:05My promotion results come out today.
02:07I can't be seen in your car.
02:09Otherwise, they'll think I slept my way to the top.
02:11The room went dead silent.
02:13He stopped and let out a cold laugh.
02:16Fine.
02:17Suit yourself.
02:18He handed me a business card.
02:20My head started spinning.
02:22Your blind date for next week?
02:24One night made me almost forget.
02:25I came here to end this mess.
02:27The reason I agreed to drop off condoms last night
02:30was to end our five-year messy relationship.
02:33I didn't want to seem desperate.
02:35I took the card.
02:36The edges stung.
02:37Okay.
02:38I'll go.
02:40I've lived at James' house every weekend for years.
02:43Back then, I'd carry heavy bags of clothes.
02:46He built me a walk-in closet just to keep me around.
02:49But today, I'm packing it all up.
02:51My pink slippers.
02:52My pajamas.
02:53Everything is gone.
02:55James just leaned against the door, watching.
02:58We're just boss and employee now, I said.
03:01He let out a cold, sharp laugh.
03:03Don't worry.
03:04I won't make things hard for you at work.
03:08I rushed to my desk just before 10 a.m.
03:11My coworker bought me a congrats coffee.
03:13Don't forget us when you're the director.
03:14Doctor, the results aren't even out.
03:17You deserve it.
03:19You worked the hardest.
03:20Five years of hard work.
03:22It's yours.
03:23I didn't hold back and smiled at the whole team.
03:25If I win, expensive sushi is on me.
03:28The whole office started cheering.
03:29Three minutes left.
03:30I refreshed my email.
03:31Then, the notification popped up.
03:33We regret to inform you.
03:35Promotion denied.
03:36My mind went completely blank.
03:38The team crowded around.
03:39Then, dead silence.
03:42HR walked in with a woman in white.
03:45I looked up and stopped breathing.
03:47This is Isabella, our new director.
03:49Personally appointed by the James.
03:51She looked exactly like the photo.
03:54The one James kept hidden in his wallet.
03:58I felt like I had a heavy flu.
04:00I walked to James' office like a robot.
04:02I couldn't stop wiping away my tears.
04:04I knocked.
04:05James said coldly,
04:07Come in.
04:08My eyes were red.
04:09I finally broke down.
04:11I asked, my voice trembling.
04:13Why?
04:14He didn't even look up.
04:15What?
04:16So many positions in this company.
04:19Why did you give Isabella my promotion?
04:21He finally looked at me.
04:23She wanted it.
04:24Just because she wanted it?
04:26What of the seven years I gave you and your company?
04:28I almost died on that Africa assignment.
04:31James stood up and walked toward me.
04:32Claire, this is reality.
04:34I decide everything.
04:36I just wanted fairness.
04:38He let out a cruel, low laugh.
04:41Fairness?
04:41You want to talk about fairness?
04:43If we didn't sleep together, you'd be nothing.
04:46You took the shortcut.
04:48Now you want fairness?
04:50His words felt like a slap to my face.
04:52I worked my heart out for seven years.
04:54I pushed myself every single day.
04:57I had to prove I belonged here.
04:58But he was right.
05:00I got into company because of him.
05:02That's how this all started.
05:03He gave it to me when he wanted to and threw me away when he didn't.
05:06I have no right to talk about fairness.
05:08So, I'm done.
05:09I'm quitting today.
05:11I want to resign.
05:15Meeting James was like a scene from a bad movie.
05:17I moved to New York right after graduation.
05:20My boyfriend cheated and moved on instantly.
05:23I was drowning in stress and heartbreak.
05:25So, I went to a bar to drink the pain away.
05:28I had never had that much alcohol before.
05:30I drank until I completely lost my mind.
05:33Usually, I'm too shy to talk to strangers.
05:35But that night, I hit on the hottest guy there.
05:38That guy was James.
05:41He looked like a star on a magazine cover.
05:43He was cold and kept rejecting everyone.
05:45But I walked right up and sat next to him.
05:47Do you want to come home with me?
05:48He took a sip and let out a low laugh.
05:52I've never met anyone as bold as you.
05:54We spent the night in my tiny apartment.
05:56It was an experience like never before.
05:58It was so beautiful.
05:59I completely lost myself.
06:01I thought I'd never see him again.
06:03I was wrong.
06:07The next day, I went to the interview.
06:09I looked up and saw him in a sharp suit.
06:11My heart almost jumped out of my chest.
06:14I recognized him instantly but stayed calm.
06:16A few hours later, I got the job offer.
06:19On my first day, he cornered me in the elevator.
06:22Claire Wright?
06:25Can you handle a physical-only relationship?
06:27I'm usually conservative, but his eyes were deep.
06:31I-I-I can do that.
06:33The moment I said it, I knew I was screwed.
06:35I fell for him, hopelessly.
06:37By day, he was my boss.
06:39By night, my lover.
06:40He gave me money, jewelry, and expensive bags.
06:43But he also taught me everything about work.
06:46I actually started to hope he'd love me back.
06:48But today, the fairy tale finally died.
06:51I was kicked out like a total fool.
06:53I finally realized the painful truth.
06:55If it's not meant to be yours,
06:57it never will be.
07:01Since I didn't get promoted,
07:03I don't even need his signature to quit.
07:04I went to HR and quit in minutes.
07:07Diana, the HR director, gave me a hug.
07:10Thanks for everything, Diana.
07:12Can you do me a huge favor?
07:14Keep my resignation a secret for now.
07:16I don't want anyone to know I'm gone.
07:18She's the only one who knows about me and James.
07:20I promise.
07:21I promise.
07:24After work, my grandma called me.
07:27Sweetie, did you get the promotion?
07:29You said I'd be the first to know.
07:31My throat tightened.
07:32I couldn't stop crying.
07:35Grandma, I'm leaving the New York.
07:37The line went silent for a second.
07:39That's great.
07:39I missed you so much.
07:41Come home.
07:42I'll cook your favorite food.
07:43I started to sob uncontrollably.
07:45I knew she was just comforting me.
07:47She used to brag about my city job.
07:49I wanted to buy her a house here.
07:51I wanted us to have a real home.
07:52My dream was so beautiful.
07:54But reality was just too cruel.
07:59I couldn't sleep that night.
08:00So I started scrolling.
08:02At 2, 10 a.m., I saw it.
08:04A local post.
08:05James' hand was around her waist.
08:07Then I saw the Cartier ring.
08:09My heart literally stopped.
08:10I knew that ring better than anyone.
08:12I saved for months to buy it for him.
08:15You don't need to buy me gifts you can't afford.
08:17There's really no point.
08:20But you deserve the best.
08:22He kissed me and looked so in love.
08:24Given our relationship, I didn't think James would actually wear this ring.
08:28The next day, he wore it to work.
08:31He even smirked and flashed it at me.
08:33Every female colleague in the office was gossiping.
08:36God, he looked so good.
08:37It hurt.
08:38Now that ring is on another girl's photo.
08:41They look so perfect together.
08:42It hit me all of a sudden.
08:43The person he's willing to hold was never me.
08:51One week left until I quit.
08:53Then Isabella showed up at the cafe.
08:55She threw a bag with a hair strand on the table.
09:01I found this in James' guest room.
09:04So you're the side piece.
09:07How can you be so cheap?
09:09I went to swing back, but my wrist was caught.
09:11Get in the car, Isabella.
09:12I'll handle this.
09:13It was James.
09:14He didn't even look at me.
09:15You replaced me after six months?
09:17Once she left, James' eyes turned cold as ice.
09:20Did I not tell you?
09:21Never tell her about us.
09:22She found me, James.
09:24I was just waiting for my date.
09:25The one you set up, remember?
09:26He's here.
09:28James' face went pale.
09:29Fine.
09:30Enjoy yourself.
09:32He threw his coat over me and walked away.
09:35The date was a disaster.
09:37An entitled rich brat.
09:41When I got home, a shadow was waiting.
09:43James was leaning against the wall, checking his watch.
09:45Home already?
09:46No dinner?
09:47No movie?
09:49Are you that obsessed with me?
09:50Not interested in other men at all?
09:52I'm marrying Isabella.
09:53Don't get any ideas.
09:55Cause trouble and you're fired.
09:56My heart shattered.
09:57Don't worry, Mr. James.
09:58I know exactly where I stand.
10:01I walked upstairs without looking back.
10:03Downstairs, James lit a cigarette in the dark.
10:05He sawed my window until the lights went out.
10:10I went home and sold everything.
10:12Every gift.
10:13Every memory.
10:15Gone.
10:16At the office, James was a stranger.
10:18Good morning, Mr. James.
10:19Cold.
10:20Professional.
10:21I already bought my ticket home.
10:23Downstairs at the company, Tom brought me a latte.
10:25Let's grab dinner tonight?
10:27He handed me roses.
10:28My favorite.
10:29Suddenly, a loud honk cut the air.
10:31James was staring from his Bentley.
10:33He looked furious.
10:33Then he sped off.
10:36The next day was my last day.
10:38The client, Mr. Harry, was a creep.
10:41He kept touching me.
10:42I felt sick.
10:44It was raining and dark when I left.
10:46Footsteps behind me.
10:48It was him.
10:50Hey, baby.
10:51Get in my car.
10:52He smirked.
10:53I ran into a dark alley, trembling.
10:55I pressed the panic button on my watch.
10:58Please answer, James.
11:01The call connected.
11:02It was Isabella.
11:04James is showering.
11:05What do you want?
11:08Isabella, help.
11:09A man is stalking me.
11:11Silence.
11:12Then a cruel laugh.
11:13Another fake emergency?
11:14Nice try.
11:18Who is it?
11:20Just Claire trying to annoy me.
11:23If you talk to her, I'm leaving.
11:26Okay, baby.
11:27I won't pick up.
11:30The line went dead.
11:32Harry was right behind me.
11:369 a.m.
11:37My desk is empty.
11:39I'm never late, but James didn't care.
11:41He thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
11:44The meeting starts.
11:45My chair is still empty.
11:46Suddenly, the HR person rushed in.
11:49It's Claire.
11:49She's in trouble.
11:50What do you mean?
11:54He sees security footage.
11:56It's me.
11:57In a dark alley.
11:59But in that dark alley?
12:01Harry was dragging me with my hair.
12:04I fought.
12:05I screamed.
12:06I desperately pressed my watch.
12:08The SOS button linked to his phone.
12:10I waited for him to save me.
12:12But he never came.
12:14Because his other girl blocked me.
12:16While I was fighting for my life,
12:18he was busy ignoring me to punish me.
12:22Diana's voice is shaking.
12:23Claire sent a report to HQ.
12:26The client tried to assault her last night.
12:29A stranger saved her just in time.
12:31She ran to find a camera for proof.
12:34She's begging us to call the police.
12:37Where is she?
12:39James' voice cracks.
12:41She quit a week ago.
12:42Diana says.
12:43She's already gone.
12:46James stands frozen, veins popping on his head.
12:49Why wasn't I told?
12:50He roars.
12:51Why wasn't her resignation on my desk?
12:53Diana stares him down with red eyes.
12:56Company policy.
12:57She says slowly.
12:58Junior staff only need their manager's sign-off.
13:02You denied her promotion.
13:05Remember?
13:06James is speechless.
13:07It feels like a slap to his face.
13:10He knows exactly why she failed.
13:12And now it's too late.
13:16I just landed.
13:17The police called.
13:18I gave my statement over the phone.
13:20Then, I threw my SIM card away.
13:22Goodbye, New York.
13:23Goodbye.
13:24Passed.
13:25I went home and bought a house.
13:26In cash.
13:27No more debt to anyone.
13:28I sold all the designer bags he gave me.
13:31That gave me $300,000 to start over.
13:34I finally opened my own store.
13:36Grandma's smile was like sunshine.
13:38I thought, life is finally good.
13:41But at night, I still thought of James.
13:43He used to be my everything.
13:45I thought I'd never get over him.
13:47Until six months later, at a bar, I saw a guy who looked just like him.
13:51The same back.
13:52The same drink.
13:53I waited for the pain to hit.
13:54But nothing.
13:56No pain at all.
13:57I just turned back and laughed.
13:59That's when I knew.
14:00I'm finally free.
14:03A year later, I saw James again.
14:05My shop was booming.
14:07My rivals were furious.
14:08They hired trolls to smear my brand.
14:10So I sued them.
14:11I didn't back down.
14:12I thought it was over.
14:13I was wrong.
14:15Six thugs cornered me in an alley.
14:17They smashed my phone.
14:18I couldn't call help.
14:19Then, a familiar shadow charged in.
14:21It was James.
14:22He jumped in front of me.
14:24Call 911.
14:25He barked, tossing his phone.
14:26A man pulled a knife and lunged.
14:28James didn't even blink.
14:30He shielded me.
14:31The blade sank deep into his side.
14:33Blood soaked his shirt.
14:35I forgot to breathe.
14:36He leaned on me, gasping for air.
14:38He wiped a tear from my cheek.
14:40Don't be scared.
14:41He whispered.
14:43It takes more than that to kill me.
14:44The ambulance took him away.
14:46I was frozen.
14:47It all felt like a living nightmare.
14:51James survived.
14:52He's stable now.
14:53His family rushed to the hospital.
14:55He's hurt because of you!
14:57Isabella screamed.
14:58I never asked him to save me.
15:00How can you be so icy?
15:02She gasped.
15:03I was the one who blocked you.
15:05James never got your call for help.
15:07He almost killed that guy for you.
15:09I cut her off.
15:10I don't care.
15:12We broke up a year ago.
15:13She blurted out.
15:15He loved you more than he knew.
15:17She handed me an envelope of tickets.
15:19Every single one was to my city.
15:21He came here twice every month.
15:25Just to watch you from afar.
15:31James woke up and saw me.
15:33His voice was a raspy mess.
15:36I thought I'd never see you again.
15:39I tossed the plane tickets on the table.
15:43You've already seen me plenty of times.
15:45He looked away, like a guilty child.
15:48He whispered.
15:51I didn't mean to bother you.
15:54James, it doesn't matter anymore.
16:02We've already turned the page.
16:04He looked pale.
16:06His eyes filled with tears.
16:09I'm sorry about your promotion.
16:13I actually had a better plan for you.
16:16I closed my eyes.
16:17My chest felt tight.
16:20This won't make me come back, James.
16:22I snapped.
16:24But you never told me!
16:27Why didn't you explain it back then?
16:29James froze.
16:30No words came out.
16:34Because you didn't think I needed to know.
16:37You were always so high and mighty.
16:41My feelings never mattered to you.
16:44He looked crushed.
16:45Broken.
16:50I paid his medical bills in full.
16:53As I drove off, he looked from the window.
16:55Until he was gone.
16:56For good.
16:57One year later.
16:59Winter returned to New York.
17:01I walked into my new office with pride.
17:03My new firm gave me real power.
17:06At 29, I'm back in the game.
17:08I call James for advice when things get tough.
17:11He helps me without asking for anything.
17:13I don't hate him.
17:14I use him as a resource.
17:16I grew faster than ever before.
17:18Five years later, the company went public.
17:21As a founder, I finally have my future.
17:23I am finally the hero of my own story.
17:28We were at a major bidding war for a famous brand.
17:31My old company, James' firm, went first.
17:35Their idea was a cute story about a magic latte.
17:39Drink this, and your crush will fall for you.
17:43It was a classic romance drama ending.
17:45The judges loved it.
17:46But that was our idea, too.
17:48My team was panicking.
17:50They whispered.
17:51What do we do, boss?
17:52I walked onto the stage, the spotlight hitting my face.
17:56Our initial plan was as the same as theirs.
17:59The room started whispering.
18:01I waited for silence.
18:03But standing here, I want to change the ending.
18:07In our story, the girl doesn't give the latte to the guy.
18:12She drinks it herself.

18:17I continued with a smile.
18:19If magic exists, I want it to make us love ourselves.
18:24When you value yourself, your real life finally begins.

18:33This comes from my own life.
18:37It ain't easy to hurt this.
18:39I used to chase a man I thought was a god.
18:42But once I started loving myself, I realized...

18:50I am just as good as he is.
18:53Maybe better.
18:55The room was silent.
18:56Then, a single person started clapping.
18:59It was James, sitting in a dark corner.
19:02He wasn't looking down at me anymore.
19:04He was looking up at me with pure respect.
19:06We locked eyes and shared a peaceful smile.
