Short filmTranscript
00:01I joined a local buy and sell group on my phone, just looking for some second-hand furniture,
00:07nothing special. But the prices in this group made no sense. Someone was selling an ordinary
00:12iPhone SIM removal tool for $888. And people were actually commenting, asking about it.
00:20I was about to leave when a new post caught my eye. 1999 May edition bicycle, $800 pickup only,
00:28my birthday, May, 1999. That was odd. I clicked on the photo. My blood ran cold. The background was
00:37unmistakably my living room. And we'd only bought that bike two months ago. Before I could process
00:43this, someone commented, bro, last time was great. The service was top-not. This $800 price is a steal.
00:52Oh, five stars. The group exploded with questions. Boss, what are the specs and dimensions? The seller
01:01replied quickly. 90 minutes. 8-9-5-8-9-2. My hands started shaking. Those were my measurements,
01:12my exact measurements. One coincidence I could dismiss. But this? Damn, that figure. Someone
01:20typed. Bro, got real photos? Can you do delivery? Then someone posted a picture. A woman in a black
01:27and white maid outfit collapsed on a sofa. She wore a mask, hiding her face. But I recognized the hair
01:34color. And that birthmark on her chest. It was identical to mine. I zoomed in, my breathing rapid.
01:42The photo disappeared. Already tried her out for you guys. Boss is reliable. You can trust this.
01:50The seller replied casually. I just got into fishing lately. Not interested in cycling anymore.
01:55I'd like to share with my brothers. I looked at the corner of our living room.
01:58Ryan's collection of second-hand fishing gear piled high.
02:04My stomach churned. Ryan Mitchell, my husband of three years. Always so sunny, so clean cut.
02:11I never imagined he'd do something like this. Drugging his own wife and selling photos? Videos?
02:18Bro, I'll take it. When can I pick up? Don't rush. This premium goods is mine. I'll add $100.
02:26The messages kept rolling. My scalp tingled as my ears rang. These men were discussing me like I was
02:33whore. No dignity, no humanity. People started competing. The seller grew excited.
02:40Highest bidder wins. I guarantee the quality is top grade.
02:45Ryan's disgusting innuendo made the chat explode. I felt like I'd fallen into hell. Cold, sticky,
02:52nauseating. My hands trembled as I took screenshots. The simple motion took several
02:58tries because my fingers wouldn't cooperate. I was about to confront Ryan when a user named
03:03Cat Lover made an offer.
03:07$10,000. But I need delivery.
03:10The price silenced everyone else. Cat Lover posted an address. Riverside Apartments.
03:18I was still praying this was all a misunderstanding. Then Ryan texted me.
03:23Honey, I sold our old bike, but the buyer can't pick up. Can you drop it off at Riverside Apartments
03:28this afternoon? Everything froze. My chest tightened so much I couldn't breathe.
03:33Do I have to go? My fingers shook as I typed, hoping Ryan had some shred of conscience left.
03:39Honey, what's wrong? Ryan's reply was as gentle as always.
03:42Are you feeling sick? Should I take you to the doctor?
03:44Ryan and I had been together since high school. Sweethearts who went from prom to wedding vows.
03:50Even after marriage, he remained thoughtful and caring. All our friends envied me for marrying my
03:55soulmate. But now, he wouldn't give me a straight answer.
03:59I don't feel well. I don't want to go.
04:02Ryan paused, then replied with words that chilled me to the bone.
04:07Honey, did you catch a cold last night? There's vitamin C in the night pen draw. Take one.
04:11I'll leave work early and go with you. Why do I have to go?
04:15I couldn't stand this feeling of being hunted. Tears streamed down my face as I typed.
04:21Ryan called immediately.
04:25The buyer is an autistic girl. She's scared of men, so she needs a woman to deliver.
04:30His voice sounded so natural. You're usually so compassionate. What's wrong today?
04:36If I didn't know the truth, I might have believed him. I'm not going.
04:40My voice was flat, but my body shook. From anger or fear, I couldn't tell.
04:44Minutes later, the seller added Cat Lover in the group.
04:48Bro, sorry. Something's wrong with the goods today. Can't do delivery.
04:51I exhaled in relief. Then Cat Lover responded. No problem. I can pick up. But I have specific
04:58requirements. Can she handle it? Don't worry. As long as you don't break her. I offer after-sales
05:04service. Their words wrapped around me like thorned rope, suffocating me. The seller posted an address.
05:12My address? Our home. I had to run. I stumbled out of the bedroom, rushing toward the door.
05:19Ryan texted. Honey, did you take that vitamin? I'm almost home to be with you.
05:25I reached for the doorknob. Honey, where are you going?
05:31The living room camera swiveled toward me. Ryan's voice came through the speaker.
05:35My scalp prickled. Like I was walking down a dark hallway,
05:39watched by hungry eyes lurking in the shadows. Just getting some air. I forced myself to stay
05:46calm, but my voice trembled. You sound terrible. Don't go out. I'll be right there.
05:50Ryan sounded so concerned. I thought bitterly. No wonder I never suspected him. He was such a good
05:57actor. I ignored him and reached for the door again. I needed to leave. To my parents' house,
06:04to the police station, anywhere. Why do you have to go out? What if you faint outside? I'd have to
06:09search
06:09everywhere for you, but it's okay. You gave me access to your phone's location. I can track you
06:15anytime. His casual words sent ice through my veins. He was telling me he could find me anywhere.
06:21I laughed bitterly. Our love and trust had become chains. I glanced at the camera with despair and
06:28grabbed the door handle. The moment I touched it, my head spun. My legs gave out. I collapsed.
06:35I woke up in my bedroom. Every muscle ached. My clothes had been changed. Terror gripped me. What
06:43happened while I was unconscious? I heard voices outside the door. Alex, you can't just bring
06:50strangers to our house. Ryan was talking to someone. Ryan sounded angry. Emma was home alone. You could
06:56have scared her. I was confused. Then I heard Ryan's brother, Alex, speak. Bro, the guy needed the bike
07:02urgently. Emma didn't want to deliver it, so I brought him here to pick it up. How was I supposed
07:07to know she was sick? And your fishing gear, when are you taking it? Ryan's voice rose. You keep buying
07:13useless junk and dumping it at my place because you're scared your wife will yell at you. I lay
07:20frozen in bed. The bike sale wasn't Ryan. The fishing gear wasn't his. Had I been wrong about
07:26everything? But that woman in the mask looked exactly like me. Ryan opened the door. He saw me awake and
07:32kiss my forehead gently. Good. Your fever's gone. Silly girl didn't even know you were burning
07:40up. Still feeling bad? I glanced at Alex standing in the doorway, his eyes cold and distant. The
07:47question stuck in my throat. I shook my head weakly. Maybe I'd misunderstood. Maybe the seller
07:53wasn't Ryan. At least this time. Cat lover didn't get what he wanted. Right?
08:01The next morning, Ryan had breakfast ready on the table. Three years of marriage, and he'd never
08:07missed a day. I took a deep breath. Maybe yesterday was just paranoia. I went to the study to get
08:15my
08:15yoga mat. A clump of cat hair fell from the corner. I collapsed to the floor, trembling. We'd never owned
08:22a cat. I grabbed my phone with shaking hands. Just then, cat lover posted a link in the group. I
08:29frantically
08:29saved it and opened the file. A woman lay in our study, covered in cat fur. Through gaps in the
08:35fur, a man
08:36was kissing her exposed skin. The fur on her face shifted. I finally saw her clearly. It was me. My
08:43mind
08:43went blank. Ryan had lied. He'd hidden it so well. If I hadn't stumbled into that group by accident,
08:52I'd still think I was the luckiest woman alive. I wanted to confront him immediately. But cat lover
08:59messaged the seller first. Good product. But next time, delivery would be better. I'll pay extra.
09:08Sarah. She's not cooperative. Transportation is complicated. The seller replied. So what?
09:15Your drug works perfectly. I did plenty. And nothing went wrong. Fine. Next time,
09:23I'll bring her to you personally to you. Each word was a knife cutting into me. Then someone with a
09:29cute hamster avatar added the seller. Bro, when can you come walk my dog? My poodle misses you.
09:36The seller responded fast. Tonight. Ryan texted me. Honey, working late tonight. Don't wait up.
09:44His affair almost seemed easier to accept than what he'd done to me. At least now I could think
09:49clearly. I needed evidence. I hired a private investigator. Tonight, I'd see which dog Ryan
09:57was walking. The P.I. sent me a video quickly. Ryan walking arm in arm with a woman toward a
10:03hotel.
10:03They whispered to each other, heads close. Ryan's smile was possessive, predatory. Nothing like his
10:11usual gentle demeanor. I told the investigator. I need her information. He sent more footage of
10:18them together. Intimate. Disgusting. Investigator. Even got me the room number. I saved everything,
10:24but didn't rush over there. Instead, I called my lawyer. When Ryan came home at 2 a.m., I was
10:30waiting
10:30on the couch. He looked startled, then smiled warmly. Honey, couldn't sleep without me? I promise I'll
10:40work less overtime. Come, let me carry you to bed. Ryan, let's get divorced. Such a performance. I handed
10:48him the divorce papers with no expression. Ryan took the papers. Disbelief on his face. He checked
10:54if I was joking. I caught a flash of guilt in his eyes. Honey, what does this mean? His expression
11:01shifted rapidly. Is it because I worked late tonight? Anger morphing into wounded innocence.
11:06His eyes reddened like a confused child. I said flatly. Yes. Just because of that? He stared into my eyes,
11:13not believing it could be so simple. Just because of that? My voice was eerily calm. When you reach
11:19peak grief, you feel nothing. Ryan paced the living room anxiously. Emma Carter, what the hell is wrong
11:25with you? I worked all day, and I come home to this? What do you think marriage is? Two teenagers
11:32breaking up over nothing? Haven't I been good enough to you? The louder a man argues, the guiltier he is.
11:38I put you first in everything. I guess I've spoiled you. My voice was exhausted. So are you signing or
11:45not? Any normal person couldn't process what I discovered these past two days. Who knew what
11:51else was waiting? Ryan stopped arguing. He pulled out his phone and made a call. Mom, sorry to call so
11:58late. Ryan! My suppressed rage ignited. Are you serious? It's the middle of the night and you're
12:05calling my mother? We're adults. Don't drag our parents into every argument and certainly not at
12:12this hour. No matter how hysterical I got, he only cared about his immediate problem.
12:20He completely ignored my feelings and my family's rest. Mom, Emma's gone crazy. She wants to divorce me
12:28in the middle of the night. Please come save me. Save our marriage. His voice broke dramatically.
12:35My mother's voice came through the phone, urgent and alarmed. Then Ryan called his parents with the
12:39same story. Finally, with a hint of smugness. Emma, let's see how you explain this to our parents.
12:47He ripped the divorce papers in half and slammed them on the table. He pulled out a jewelry box with
12:52a
12:52necklace. You know why I sold that bike? So I could work overtime for extra money. I glanced at the
12:58necklace. Indifferent. Our three-year anniversary. And you want to divorce me? Did Ryan love me? He
13:04cheated and sold his own wife. Did he not love me? He bought me gifts with money from other women.
13:09Twisted and disgusting. I laughed coldly. Since you've summoned everyone, let's lay it all out.
13:16Six people sat in the living room, faces grim. Mom, I really love Emma. Please convince her not to be
13:23impulsive. Ryan knelt before my mother, tears streaming. My mother believed in her daughter's
13:29judgment, but her son-in-law wasn't someone who'd cause trouble. What on earth is going on? Then looked
13:36at me anxiously. You can't just throw away a good marriage? Ryan, stop with the theatrics? Or I'll file
13:42for divorce, porn, court. I said, frowning. Cheating. Cheating? All four parents stared at Ryan in shock.
13:51Six years of dating, three years of marriage. Ryan had always been attentive to me. He even tracked my
13:58menstrual cycle for me. But after two sleepless nights, I finally understood. That wasn't love.
14:03It was possession. A sick need to control my body. See for yourselves. I'm done explaining. I sent the
14:12photos of Ryan with another woman to our family group chat. Ryan froze. He'd anticipated I might
14:18suspect the bike sale and the fishing gear. He'd even arranged for Alex to cover for him. But how did
14:26I catch him cheating when it just happened tonight? Ryan's father hit him hard across the face.
14:31My father-in-law was a retired teacher. He'd raised Ryan strictly. Now he had to watch his son's
14:38infidelity photos in front of his in-laws. The shame was unbearable. My mother-in-law looked at
14:44Ryan's swelling face with distress. But she couldn't defend him now. She could only sigh repeatedly.
14:50I produced a new set of divorce papers. I was getting divorced today.
14:55Sign it. The evidence is right here.
14:57Emma, it was just once. Ryan panicked.
15:00That woman seduced me. I have no feelings for her. I just lost my head for a moment. Give me
15:05one more
15:05chance. Honestly, I believed Ryan didn't love that woman. Men like him only love themselves.
15:11But that didn't matter. He'd betrayed me. Not once, but many times. My father-in-law slapped him again.
15:21If Emma doesn't forgive you today, you're no son of mine.
15:27You disgrace. My mother-in-law grabbed my hand with tears.
15:30Emma, I've never asked you for anything. Ryan knows he was wrong. Building a marriage isn't easy.
15:40Please give him another chance.
15:43I hadn't expected my usually fair-minded in-laws to immediately try to save Ryan instead of supporting me.
15:49I looked to my parents helplessly.
15:51Emma.
15:52Mom hesitated.
15:53I think Ryan wouldn't dare do it again. Maybe it was one of those scams where they blackmail married men.
16:00Plus, you've got evidence now. You'll have the upper hand in the marriage from now on.
16:05I understood what both sets of parents meant. Three years of marriage and Ryan's obedient act had fooled everyone.
16:11My heart ached. I forced a bitter smile.
16:15Then let's wait and see, shall we?
16:17Under my father-in-law's orders, Ryan kept slapping himself.
16:22My mother-in-law cried watching him.
16:24I knew they weren't really punishing Ryan.
16:27They were performing for me.
16:29After all, divorce was too costly for them.
16:33At 8 a.m., someone knocked urgently on the door. I opened it.
16:37A strange man stood there.
16:39He immediately grabbed Ryan off the floor and punched him hard.
16:44You bastard! You slept with my wife!
16:47Walking your dog? You're the damn dog!
16:49Murder! He's killing him!
16:51My mother-in-law screamed.
16:53My father-in-law, both heartbroken and nervous, tried to shield Ryan while clutching his chest.
16:59Let's talk calmly. No need for violence.
17:02Talk?
17:03I go on one business trip and he's screwing my wife? What's there to talk about?
17:08The man spat on my father-in-law. My father-in-law had been respected his entire teaching career.
17:13No one had ever treated him like this.
17:16Already emotional, now publicly humiliated, his legs gave out.
17:19He collapsed on the sofa.
17:25Your son cheats? Old man fakes injury? You people are all the same!
17:30The man showed no mercy with his fists or his words.
17:32A dark satisfaction stirred in me.
17:35Honey.
17:36My mother-in-law helped my father-in-law up, sobbing.
17:40Emma.
17:41We've never treated you badly since you married into this family.
17:45How can you be so cruel?
17:47Are you trying to destroy our whole family?
17:50Her words stunned me. I shot back.
17:52I'm the victim here.
17:53Why are you acting like I'm the abuser?
17:55This is a family matter.
17:56Why did you tell an outsider?
17:58If something happens to my son, I won't forgive you.
18:01My mother-in-law screamed at me.
18:05I couldn't believe my usually kind mother-in-law had become so vicious and unreasonable.
18:10I laughed bitterly.
18:12Apparently the past few years weren't just Ryan pretending.
18:15So what if I cheated?
18:17What about it?
18:18The law doesn't even punish affairs anymore.
18:21Go ahead and kill me!
18:22Ryan suddenly exploded, shoving the man away.
18:25Touch me again and I'll report you for assault.
18:27I'll sue you for everything you have.
18:30And you, Emma.
18:30Ryan pointed at me and...
18:31Always acting like you're too good for everyone.
18:35You're almost 30 and still just lie there like a corpse in bed.
18:42Who'd want that?
18:45Besides, I pay for everything.
18:47I have to sweet talk you constantly.
18:49I'm tired.
18:50I'm exhausted.
18:51What's wrong with getting some variety?
18:54I'm not divorcing you anyway.
18:56Why are you making such a big deal out of this?
18:59His words left the room in dead silence.
19:01My chest heaved violently.
19:02I grabbed a decorative vase and hurled it at Ryan.
19:05Ryan yelped and reached for me.
19:06My father moved quickly, grabbing Ryan's arm.
19:09You dare touch my daughter?
19:11My mother-in-law's eyes were bloodshot.
19:13How dare you all hit my son?
19:16The living room erupted into chaos.
19:19Dan!
19:20Years of pleasant family relations finally showed their true face.
19:24Just as we reached a breaking point, someone knocked on the door again.
19:28Hello?
19:30I rushed to open the door.
19:32Two police officers assessed the chaotic scene immediately.
19:35Ryan wiped blood from his lip, about to raise his hand for help.
19:39Then he saw me step forward first.
19:41Officers, someone drugged me.
19:43My whole body trembled as I said those words.
19:46From discovering the truth two days ago, to heartbreak, that nearly suffocated me.
19:51Only I knew what I'd been through.
19:53I pulled out my hospital blood test results with shaking hands.
19:56All the videos and photos from the group chat.
19:59The clump of cat hair.
20:01I handed everything to the police.
20:05Emma.
20:06Mom rushed over, nervously asking,
20:08What are you saying?
20:09But I only looked at the officers in front of me,
20:11as if only they could give me security.
20:14Mom swallowed hard and looked at the evidence in the officers' hands.
20:17Mom grabbed my arm.
20:18What is this?
20:19She screamed, just like I had.
20:21How did this happen?
20:23I looked at Ryan.
20:24His face had gone deathly pale.
20:26He stood frozen, not daring to move.
20:31Ask your wonderful son!
20:33My fingernails digging into my palms until they turned white.
20:36Secondhand goods for sale!
20:38Ryan, what exactly did you think I was?
20:40The officer frowned and approached Ryan.
20:43Ryan immediately dropped to his knees before me.
20:45Emma, please, I'm begging you.
20:47Tell them it was consensual.
20:48Please spare me this once.
20:51They were paying so much.
20:53Ten thousand dollars at a time.
20:55That's more than my monthly salary.
20:58I'm a horrible person.
21:00He started slapping himself again.
21:02I shouldn't have brought strangers to our home.
21:04I shouldn't have been so greedy.
21:06This time, my in-laws stayed silent.
21:09They'd seen the videos too.
21:11This was beyond even their comprehension.
21:14The officer pulled out handcuffs, muttering quietly.
21:17Doing this to your own wife, that's a new low.
21:22You're truly pathetic.
21:23Cuffed, Ryan still wouldn't give up.
21:26He clutched at my clothes.
21:28Emma, please.
21:30If you just say it was consensual, I won't face serious charges.
21:34I stepped back coldly, my eyes full of disgust.
21:38Even now, he only cared about saving himself.
21:43I was just selling second-hand stuff online.
21:46Why are you arresting me?
21:48Shut up.
21:49The man who'd burst in earlier scoffed.
21:52Your little schemes?
21:53My wife spilled everything after a few slaps.
21:57Just go to jail and reflect, you bastard.
21:59Then he grabbed the necklace from the table.
22:02Officers, this is mine.
22:04I have the receipt.
22:05He stole it.
22:06Add that to his charges.
22:08No!
22:08The police investigation into the second-hand group took several days.
22:12But it didn't delay my divorce filing.
22:14My in-laws, who'd sworn I was like their own daughter,
22:19now either avoided me or gave me cold stares.
22:22Ryan sent me a letter from detention.
22:25He claimed he deeply regretted his actions.
22:28Said it started as curiosity.
22:30Then became an addiction he couldn't control.
22:34The day I received my divorce decree,
22:36a friend suddenly messaged me.
22:39Emma, get online now.
22:41Your photos are everywhere.
22:44My heart seized.
22:45I immediately clicked the link she sent.
22:47Those images I tried so hard to forget flooded my screen again.
22:52My fingers went numb.
22:53My phone fell to the floor.
22:55To calm myself, I kept tapping my forehead.
22:58Then I received a message from Alex.
23:00Emma, if it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't be in jail.
23:03My parents wouldn't be hiding in shame.
23:05You destroyed my family.
23:06You're just a used-up slut.
23:09I won't let you get away with this.
23:11I grabbed my phone, hands shaking, and typed.
23:14Did you post those photos online?
23:17Okay.
23:18Ha.
23:19You broke the group's rules.
23:21Plenty of people want to punish you.
23:22Alex's victim blaming ignited my rage instead of my fear.
23:25I wiped my tears and immediately screenshot his messages for the police.
23:29Yes, I was the one violated in those images.
23:32But compared to my exposed body, those men who hurt me were far more disgusting.
23:38When I returned from the police station, my door was covered in red paint.
23:43Obscene words scrawled everywhere.
23:45Whore.
23:46Slut.
23:47Worse.
23:48Scattered cat hair told me roughly who did this.
23:51My chest felt like it was burning.
23:53But I mechanically grabbed a bucket from inside.
23:56Ignoring my neighbor's strange looks, I scrubbed each word away.
24:00If they wanted to use public opinion to destroy me, I refused to let them win.
24:05I first went to building management for security footage and took it to the station.
24:09Then I created a new account.
24:12Profile picture was a carefully selected cat photo.
24:15I added cat lover.
24:17He accepted immediately.
24:19I got straight to the point.
24:20My kitty won't behave.
24:22What should I do?
24:23Cat lover quickly sent a series of videos.
24:26All showed him torturing cats in various ways.
24:29Disobedient things need punishment.
24:32Fighting nausea, I saved every video.
24:34Then I tested him.
24:36Bro, I'm talking about a person.
24:38A long pause.
24:40Finally, he sent another video.
24:42My personal collection.
24:43Didn't want to share it.
24:44But since this bitch caused trouble, I'll let everyone see what a whore she is.
24:51Then we'll get rid of her.
24:53His last sentence made my scalp crawl.
24:56Without Ryan, I'd never have encountered these twisted people.
24:59Or made them this angry at me.
25:02I steadied myself and typed,
25:04So what's your plan, bro?
25:06Let me learn.
25:07He replied quickly.
25:08Rare to meet someone like-minded.
25:11Tomorrow night.
25:13Riverside Apartments.
25:14The conversation was brief.
25:16But I was drenched in cold sweat.
25:19The next night, I sat in my living room, trembling.
25:22Eyes glued to the door.
25:24Hands clenched so tight, my nails drew blood.
25:27At 1 a.m., I heard someone picking the lock.
25:30My heart jumped to my throat.
25:32The next second, I heard police shout.
25:33Don't move!
25:34Outside, Cat Lover struggled violently.
25:36Let go of me!
25:36You need to be educated, you trash!
25:39After police arrested this extremist,
25:42they found all sorts of disturbing content at his home,
25:45including information on everyone who traded with him.
25:49Cat Lover was a veteran member of the second-hand group.
25:53Following his records, police arrested dozens of group members,
25:58including Alex.
25:59Get him in the car.
26:00Two sons from the Mitchell family, both in jail for scandals.
26:04My former in-laws couldn't handle the neighbors' gossip.
26:07They sold their house and moved back to their hometown.
26:09Maybe Ryan and I could have had an ordinary life together.
26:12But now, both families were destroyed.
26:17Five years later, I remarried.
26:19His name was Daniel Foster, a colleague from my new job.
26:22After dating for two years, I told him everything.
26:26I figured if it bothered him, better not to waste each other's time.
26:29Daniel pulled me closer instead.
26:32So that's why you're always so careful with people.
26:35This only makes me feel more protective of you.
26:39Why would I judge you?
26:41On our wedding day, after we'd seen off the guests,
26:44I heard two familiar voices arguing in a corner of the lobby.
26:48Son, this woman destroyed you.
26:49Why can't you let go?
26:50Mom, I've told you a thousand times.
26:52It was my fault.
26:52I deserve to go to jail.
26:54Nonsense.
26:54This could have been handled within the family.
26:56She's the one who called the police.
26:58It's her fault.
26:59If something happens to my son, I'll never forgive her.
27:01I followed the voices.
27:03In just a few years, Ryan had aged dramatically.
27:07When he noticed me watching, he panicked and turned away.
27:10But seconds later, he took a deep breath and walked toward Daniel and me.
27:14I frowned, disgusted, and moved closer to Daniel.
27:20Ryan froze at my reaction.
27:22Then he smiled bitterly.
27:24Congratulations, Emma.
27:27His voice was defeated, his eyes full of self-loathing.
27:31Suddenly, images flashed through my mind.
27:34Ryan and me, hand in hand, grocery shopping together.
27:37Cooking together in the kitchen.
27:39Then those images shattered.
27:42Replaced by his sinister smile as he sent me to other men.
27:45I dry heaved.
27:47Daniel immediately grabbed my hand, rubbing my back.
27:50It's okay.
27:51I'm here.
27:52I'll always be here.
27:53Ryan's eyes reddened, repeating helplessly.
27:56I'm sorry.
27:57I'm sorry.
27:58Ryan, if I were you, I wouldn't be here.
28:01This is my new beginning.
28:02Are you trying to ruin again?
28:04But I...
28:05I miss you so much.
28:07I can't control it.
28:08Ryan looked pitiful and anxious.
28:09That's your problem.
28:11Don't disrupt my life because of your personal needs.
28:15Even now, you only care about your own feelings.
28:18Daniel saw my face growing paler.
28:21He stepped in front of me, growling at Ryan.
28:23I won't argue with you.
28:25But if you don't leave now, we'll handle this with fists.
28:29I'd never seen Daniel this angry.
28:31But it gave me a solid sense of security.
28:37Ryan bit his lip, wanting to say more.
28:39His mother rushed over and pulled him back.
28:41Son, let's go home.
28:43You and Emma.
28:44It's impossible now.
28:46Ryan stared at me, his eyes red.
28:49Slowly, he raised his right pinky finger.
28:52He asked gently.
28:54Emma, do you remember what we said in college?
28:57Daniel tensed, gripping my hand tighter.
29:00Senior year, the dorm was filled with couples crying over graduation breakups.
29:04No matter what happens, we can never give up on each other.
29:07Pinky promise.
29:08I'd smiled and held out my pinky.
29:10After that, we smoothly met each other's parents.
29:13Smoothly bought a house and got married.
29:15No obstacles at all.
29:17Maybe it was too easy.
29:19Ryan grew complacent and bored.
29:21He even mistakenly believed I'd never leave.
29:24I remembered the first time I saw my photos in that group.
29:27I'd gone insane.
29:28Like a diseased madwoman.
29:31Every frame felt like being slowly sliced apart.
29:34I looked down at Ryan, his eyes full of desperate hope.
29:37My voice was flat.
29:38I don't remember.
29:39Ryan's movement froze.
29:41He smiled bitterly, his voice Hoskin.
29:43That's impossible.
29:44You can't forget.
29:45You promised you'd never give up on me.
29:47I know I was wrong.
29:48Take me back.
29:49He was crying incoherently.
29:51I had no intention of responding.
29:53I took Daniel's hand and headed for the exit.
29:58Passing Ryan, he reflexively grabbed my hand.
30:00Let's go.
30:01Daniel was clearly furious, forcefully pulling Ryan's hand away.
30:05I didn't want trouble on our wedding day.
30:06But if you can't understand simple words, I don't mind getting physical.
30:10My former mother-in-law quickly grabbed Ryan with both hands.
30:13Son, listen to me.
30:15Let's go home.
30:16Ryan stubbornly locked eyes with Daniel.
30:18Emma loves me.
30:19She's only with you because she's mad at me.
30:21Don't get cocky.
30:22Daniel clenched his fist, ready to swing.
30:25Don't.
30:25I quickly stopped him.
30:27Ryan looked at me with hope.
30:28Ryan, if you keep harassing us, I don't mind sending you back to jail.
30:33I pulled Daniel away, leaving behind Ryan's look of disbelief and utter devastation.
30:38In the car, Daniel pouted.
30:41Honey, why didn't you let me hit him?
30:43I glanced at him and whispered in his ear.
30:47I'm off of eating.
30:48The doctor said we need to time it right.
30:50Seeing Daniel's blank expression, I blushed and continued.
30:54If you hurt yourself fighting some worthless trash and couldn't perform your homework tonight,
30:59that would be a real loss.
31:01Daniel swallowed hard.
31:03Honey, actually, homework doesn't have to wait until tonight.
31:06The engine roared.
31:08The car sped toward home much faster than before.
