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.
00:12Bring me some condoms.
00:14I'm at his door, soaked to the bone.
00:17He stares at my wet clothes.
00:19Who told you to be a first?
00:21I freeze.
00:22Then he laughs.
00:23Just kidding, I'm not that much of a jerk.
00:26I set up a blind date for you next week.
00:28You've been with me for years.
00:29I don't want you to feel mistreated.
00:31You'll go, right?
00:33His eyes are cold.
00:34I know the truth.
00:35His true love is coming back.
00:37He's disposing of me before she arrives.
00:40I clench my fists.
00:41Just send me the address.
00:43Sir.
00:44He flinches at the word, sir.
00:46I turn to leave.
00:47Wait!
00:48He says.
00:49He wraps a Burberry shawl around me.
00:52Don't leave tonight.
00:53He looks annoyed.
00:55But isn't someone else coming?
00:57You actually believe that?
00:58Do you think I'm just some total scumbag?
01:01Who else has there been but you?
01:03He carries me to the bed.
01:04But then, he whispers the truth in my ear.
01:08This is the last time.
01:09Isabella is coming home tomorrow.
01:11I don't want her to suspect a thing.
01:13So be a good girl.
01:15Go to that date.
01:16The mask is finally off.
01:18He's choosing her.
01:19I don't say a word.
01:20I 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.
01:41The sun was already coming up.
01:43He finally finished and hit the shower.
01:44I 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, I 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?
02:23One night made me almost forget I came here to end this mess.
02:27The reason I agreed to drop off condoms last night was to end our five-year messy relationship.
02:33I didn't want to seem desperate.
02:34I 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.
02:45He built me a walk-in closet just to keep me around.
02:48But today, I'm packing it all up.
02:50My pink slippers.
02:52My pajamas.
02:53Everything is gone.
02:54James just leaned against the door, watching.
02:58We're just boss and employee now.
03:00I said.
03:01He let out a cold, sharp laugh.
03:03Don't worry.
03:04I won't make things hard for you at work.
03:07I rushed to my desk just before 10 a.m.
03:10My co-worker bought me a congrats coffee.
03:12Don't forget us when you're the director.
03:15The results aren't even out.
03:17You deserve it.
03:18You work the hardest.
03:19Five years of hard work.
03:21It's yours.
03:22I didn't hold back and smiled at the whole team.
03:24If I win, expensive sushi is on me.
03:27The whole office started cheering.
03:28Three minutes left.
03:29I refreshed my email.
03:30Then, the notification popped up.
03:33We regret to inform you.
03:34Promotion denied.
03:35My mind went completely blank.
03:37The team crowded around.
03:39Then, dead silence.
03:41HR walked in with a woman in white.
03:44I looked up and stopped breathing.
03:46This is Isabella, our new director.
03:48Personally appointed by the James.
03:51She looked exactly like the photo.
03:53The one James kept hidden in his wallet.
03:57I felt like I had a heavy flu.
03:59I walked to James' office like a robot.
04:01I couldn't stop wiping away my tears.
04:03I knocked.
04:04James said coldly,
04:05Come in.
04:06My eyes were red.
04:08I finally broke down.
04:10I asked, my voice trembling.
04:11Why?
04:12He didn't even look up.
04:14What?
04:15So many positions in this company.
04:17Why did you give Isabella my promotion?
04:20He finally looked at me.
04:22She wanted it.
04:23Just because she wanted it?
04:24One of the seven years I gave you and your company.
04:27I almost died on that Africa assignment.
04:29James stood up and walked toward me.
04:31Claire, this is reality.
04:33I decide everything.
04:35I just wanted fairness.
04:37He let out a cruel, low laugh.
04:39Fairness?
04:40You want to talk about fairness?
04:42If we didn't sleep together, you'd be nothing.
04:45You took the shortcut.
04:46Now you want fairness?
04:48His words felt like a slap to my face.
04:50I worked my heart out for seven years.
04:53I pushed myself every single day.
04:55I had to prove I belonged here.
04:57But he was right.
04:58I got into company because of him.
05:00That's how this all started.
05:02He gave it to me when he wanted to and threw me away when he didn't.
05:05I have no right to talk about fairness.
05:07So, I'm done.
05:08I'm quitting today.
05:10I want to resign.
05:13Meeting James was like a scene from a bad movie.
05:16I moved to New York right after graduation.
05:18My boyfriend cheated and moved on instantly.
05:21I was drowning in stress and heartbreak.
05:23So, I went to a bar to drink the pain away.
05:26I had never had that much alcohol before.
05:28I drank until I completely lost my mind.
05:31Usually, I'm too shy to talk to strangers.
05:33But that night, I hit on the hottest guy there.
05:36That guy was James.
05:39He looked like a star on a magazine cover.
05:41He was cold and kept rejecting everyone.
05:43But I walked right up and sat next to him.
05:45Do you want to come home with me?
05:47He took a sip and let out a low laugh.
05:50I've never met anyone as bold as you.
05:52We spent the night in my tiny apartment.
05:54It was an experience like never before.
05:56It was so beautiful.
05:57I completely lost myself.
05:59I thought I'd never see him again.
06:02I was wrong.
06:04The next day, I went to the interview.
06:07I looked up and saw him in a sharp suit.
06:09My heart almost jumped out of my chest.
06:12I recognized him instantly but stayed calm.
06:14A few hours later, I got the job offer.
06:17On my first day, he cornered me in the elevator.
06:20Claire, right?
06:23Can you handle a physical-only relationship?
06:25I'm usually conservative, but his eyes were deep.
06:30I... I can do that.
06:31The moment I said it, I knew I was screwed.
06:33I fell for him, hopelessly.
06:35By day, he was my boss.
06:36By night, my lover.
06:38He gave me money, jewelry, and expensive bags.
06:41But he also taught me everything about work.
06:43I actually started to hope he'd love me back.
06:46But today, the fairy tale finally died.
06:49I was kicked out like a total fool.
06:51I finally realized the painful truth.
06:53If it's not meant to be yours, it never will be.
06:59Since I didn't get promoted, I don't even need his signature to quit.
07:02I went to HR and quit in minutes.
07:04Diana, the HR director, gave me a hug.
07:07Thanks for everything, Diana.
07:09Can you do me a huge favor?
07:12Keep my resignation a secret for now.
07:14I don't want anyone to know I'm gone.
07:15She's the only one who knows about me and James.
07:18I promise.
07:21After work, my grandma called me.
07:24Sweetie, did you get the promotion?
07:26You said I'd be the first to know.
07:28My throat tightened.
07:29I couldn't stop crying.
07:32Grandma, I'm leaving the New York.
07:34The line went silent for a second.
07:36That's great.
07:36I missed you so much.
07:38Come home.
07:39I'll cook your favorite food.
07:40I started to sob uncontrollably.
07:42I knew she was just comforting me.
07:44She used to brag about my city job.
07:46I wanted to buy her a house here.
07:48I wanted us to have a real home.
07:49My dream was so beautiful.
07:51But reality was just too cruel.
07:56I couldn't sleep that night.
07:57So I started scrolling.
07:59At 2, 10 a.m., I saw it.
08:00A local post.
08:01James' hand was around her waist.
08:04Then I saw the Cartier ring.
08:05My heart literally stopped.
08:07I knew that ring better than anyone.
08:09I saved for months to buy it for him.
08:12You don't need to buy me gifts you can't afford.
08:14There's really no point.
08:17But you deserve the best.
08:19He kissed me and looked so in love.
08:21Given our relationship, I didn't think James would actually wear this ring.
08:25The next day, he wore it to work.
08:28He even smirked and flashed it at me.
08:30Every female colleague in the office was gossiping.
08:33God, he looked so good.
08:34It hurt.
08:35Now that ring is on another girl's photo.
08:37They look so perfect together, it hit me all of a sudden.
08:40The person he's willing to hold was never me.
08:47One week left until I quit.
08:49Then Isabella showed up at the cafe.
08:51She threw a bag with a hair strand on the table.
08:57I found this in James' guest room.
09:00So you're the side piece.
09:04How can you be so cheap?
09:05I went to swing back, but my wrist was caught.
09:07Get in the car, Isabella.
09:08I'll handle this.
09:09It was James.
09:10He didn't even look at me.
09:11You replaced me after six months?
09:13Once she left, James' eyes turned cold as ice.
09:16Did I not tell you?
09:17Never tell her about us.
09:18She found me, James.
09:20I was just waiting for my date.
09:21The one you set up, remember?
09:22He's here.
09:24James' face went pale.
09:26Fine.
09:26Enjoy yourself.
09:28He threw his coat over me and walked away.
09:31The date was a disaster.
09:33An entitled rich brat.
09:37When I got home, a shadow was waiting.
09:39James was leaning against the wall, checking his watch.
09:41Home already?
09:42No dinner?
09:43No movie?
09:44Are you that obsessed with me?
09:46Not interested in other men at all?
09:48I'm marrying Isabella.
09:49Don't get any ideas.
09:50Cause trouble and you're fired.
09:52My heart shattered.
09:53Don't worry, Mr. James.
09:54I know exactly where I stand.
09:56I walked upstairs without looking back.
09:59Downstairs, James lit a cigarette in the dark.
10:01He sawed my window until the lights went out.
10:05I went home and sold everything.
10:08Every gift.
10:09Every memory.
10:10Gone.
10:11At the office, James was a stranger.
10:13Good morning, Mr. James.
10:15Cold.
10:16Professional.
10:17I already bought my ticket home.
10:18Downstairs at the company, Tom brought me a latte.
10:21Let's grab dinner tonight.
10:22He handed me roses.
10:24My favorite.
10:24Suddenly, a loud honk cut the air.
10:26James was staring from his Bentley.
10:28He looked furious.
10:29Then he sped off.
10:31The next day was my last day.
10:33The client, Mr. Harry, was a creep.
10:36He kept touching me.
10:37I felt sick.
10:39It was raining and dark when I left.
10:41Footsteps behind me.
10:43It was him.
10:45Hey, baby.
10:46Get in my car.
10:47He smirked.
10:48I ran into a dark alley, trembling.
10:51I pressed the panic button on my watch.
10:53Please answer, James.
10:56The call connected.
10:57It was Isabella.
10:59James is showering.
11:00What do you want?
11:03Isabella, help.
11:04A man is stalking me.
11:06Silence.
11:07Then a cruel laugh.
11:08Another fake emergency?
11:10Nice try.
11:13Who is it?
11:15Just Claire trying to annoy me.
11:18If you talk to her, I'm leaving.
11:21Okay, baby.
11:22I won't pick up.
11:25The line went dead.
11:27Harry was right behind me.
11:319 a.m.
11:32My desk is empty.
11:33I'm never late, but James didn't care.
11:36He thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
11:38The meeting starts.
11:39My chair is still empty.
11:41Suddenly, the HR person rushed in.
11:43It's Claire.
11:44She's in trouble.
11:45What do you mean?
11:49He sees security footage.
11:51It's me.
11:52In a dark alley.
11:54But in that dark alley?
11:56Harry was dragging me with my hair.
11:58I fought.
11:59I screamed.
12:01I desperately pressed my watch.
12:03The SOS button linked to his phone.
12:05I waited for him to save me.
12:07But he never came.
12:08Because his other girl blocked me.
12:11While I was fighting for my life, he was busy ignoring me to punish me.
12:16Diana's voice is shaking.
12:18Claire sent a report to HQ.
12:20The client tried to assault her last night.
12:23A stranger saved her just in time.
12:25She ran to find a camera for proof.
12:27She's begging us to call the police.
12:32Where is she?
12:33James' voice cracks.
12:35She quit a week ago.
12:36Diana says.
12:37She's already gone.
12:40James stands frozen, veins popping on his head.
12:43Why wasn't I told?
12:45He roars.
12:45Why wasn't her resignation on my desk?
12:48Diana stares him down with red eyes.
12:50Company policy.
12:51She says slowly.
12:52Junior staff only need their manager's sign-off.
12:57You denied her promotion?
12:59Remember?
13:00James is speechless.
13:02It feels like a slap to his face.
13:04He knows exactly why she failed.
13:06And now it's too late.
13:10I just landed.
13:11The police called.
13:12I gave my statement over the phone.
13:14Then, I threw my SIM card away.
13:16Goodbye, New York.
13:17Goodbye.
13:18Passed.
13:18I went home and bought a house.
13:20In cash.
13:21No more debt to anyone.
13:22I sold all the designer bags he gave me.
13:25That gave me $300,000 to start over.
13:27I finally opened my own store.
13:30Grandma's smile was like sunshine.
13:32I thought,
13:33Life is finally good.
13:35But at night, I still thought of James.
13:37He used to be my everything.
13:39I thought I'd never get over him.
13:41Until six months later, at a bar,
13:43I saw a guy who looked just like him.
13:45The same back.
13:46The same drink.
13:47I waited for the pain to hit.
13:48But, nothing.
13:50No pain at all.
13:51I just turned back and laughed.
13:53That's when I knew.
13:54I'm finally free.
13:57A year later, I saw James again.
13:59My shop was booming.
14:00My rivals were furious.
14:02They hired trolls to smear my brand.
14:04So, I sued them.
14:05I didn't back down.
14:06I thought it was over.
14:07I was wrong.
14:08Six thugs cornered me in an alley.
14:10They smashed my phone.
14:11I couldn't call help.
14:13Then, a familiar shadow charged in.
14:15It was James.
14:16He jumped in front of me.
14:17Call 911!
14:18He barked, tossing his phone.
14:20A man pulled a knife and lunged.
14:22James didn't even blink.
14:23He shielded me.
14:24The blades sank deep into his side.
14:27Blood soaked his shirt.
14:28I forgot to breathe.
14:30He leaned on me, gasping for air.
14:32He wiped a tear from my cheek.
14:33Don't be scared.
14:34He whispered.
14:36It takes more than that to kill me.
14:38The ambulance took him away.
14:39I was frozen.
14:40It all felt like a living nightmare.
14:44James survived.
14:45He's stable now.
14:46His family rushed to the hospital.
14:48He's hurt because of you!
14:50Isabella screamed.
14:51I never asked him to save me.
14:53How can you be so icy?
14:55She gasped.
14:56I was the one who blocked you.
14:58James never got your call for help.
15:00He almost killed that guy for you.
15:02I cut her off.
15:03I don't care.
15:05We broke up a year ago.
15:06She blurted out.
15:08He loved you more than he knew.
15:10She handed me an envelope of tickets.
15:12Every single one was to my city.
15:14He came here twice every month.
15:18Just to watch you from afar.
15:24James woke up and saw me.
15:26His voice was a raspy mess.
15:29I thought I'd never see you again.
15:31I tossed the plane tickets on the table.
15:36You've already seen me plenty of times.
15:38He looked away, like a guilty child.
15:41He whispered.
15:44I didn't mean to bother you.
15:47James, it doesn't matter anymore.
15:54We've already turned the page.
15:57He looked pale.
15:59His eyes filled with tears.
16:02I'm sorry about your promotion.
16:06I actually had a better plan for you.
16:09I closed my eyes.
16:10My chest felt tight.
16:13This won't make me come back, James.
16:15I snapped.
16:16But you never told me!
16:20Why didn't you explain it back then?
16:22James froze.
16:23No words came out.
16:27Because you didn't think I needed to know.
16:29You were always so high and mighty.
16:33My feelings never mattered to you.
16:37He looked crushed.
16:38Broken.
16:43I paid his medical bills in full.
16:45As I drove off, he looked from the window.
16:47Until he was gone.
16:49For good.
16:50One year later.
16:52Winter returned to New York.
16:53I walked into my new office with pride.
16:56My new firm gave me real power.
16:58At 29, I'm back in the game.
17:00I call James for advice when things get tough.
17:03He helps me without asking for anything.
17:05I don't hate him.
17:07I use him as a resource.
17:08I grew faster than ever before.
17:10Five years later, the company went public.
17:13As a founder, I finally have my future.
17:15I am finally the hero of my own story.
17:20We were at a major bidding war for a famous brand.
17:23My old company, James' firm, went first.
17:27Their idea was a cute story about a magic latte.
17:31Drink this, and your crush will fall for you.
17:35It was a classic romance drama ending.
17:37The judges loved it.
17:38But that was our idea, too.
17:40My team was panicking.
17:42They whispered.
17:43What do we do, boss?
17:44I walked onto the stage, the spotlight hitting my face.
17:48Our initial plan was as the same as theirs.
17:51The room started whispering.
17:53I waited for silence.
17:55But standing here, I want to change the ending.
17:59In our story, the girl doesn't give the latte to the guy.
18:04She drinks it herself.
18:11If magic exists, I want it to make us love ourselves.
18:15When you value yourself.
18:18When you value yourself, your real life finally begins.
18:23I looked into the crowd.
18:25This comes from my own life.
