00:00J'étais in the hospital for 3 days, and for those 3 days, my phone stayed silent.
00:04I didn't receive a single call from my family.
00:06I didn't call anyone either.
00:07I didn't scroll through their Instagram reads like I used to,
00:10trying to keep up with every little update in their lives.
00:12Instead, I just quietly rested in my hospital bed
00:15and dragged my weak body around for checkups and payments.
00:18Even on the day I was discharged, I didn't tell a soul.
00:21I simply packed my own things, endured the pain in my abdomen,
00:24and slowly made my way home.
00:26When I pushed the door open, the laughter inside the house abruptly stopped.
00:30Everyone was gathered in the living room.
00:32My fiancé, Joel, was sitting beside Yaida with his arm casually draped around her shoulders.
00:37The moment he saw me, he pulled his hand back and gave me an awkward smile.
00:41Sophia, you're back. Where have you been these past few days?
00:44My brother, Joshua Norton, let out a cold snort.
00:47Where else would she have gone to?
00:48She just didn't want to show up to Ytet's birthday party.
00:51She always has to ruin things for her since she can't stand seeing Vivi happy.
00:56I didn't say a word. I just headed straight for my room.
00:59Joshua seemed surprised that I didn't argue with him.
01:03Wait, Sophia!
01:06Normally, whenever he accused me of being selfish,
01:09I would break down in tears and desperately defend myself.
01:12But this time, I'd kept quiet.
01:14My mom rushed over to me with a glass of juice.
01:17Sophia, we were so busy with Vivi's birthday the other day that we missed your calls.
01:21Don't be mad at us, okay?
01:23She placed a glass of mango juice in my hand.
01:26Although my heart had long since stopped expecting anything, it still arced faintly.
01:30I was allergic to mangoes, but Vivi loved them.
01:33There was always mango-flavored food and drinks in the house because of that.
01:37But no matter how many times I reminded them,
01:39no one ever remembered that I couldn't have mangoes.
01:41I handed the glass back to mom and quietly stepped back.
01:44I'm not mad. I'll just go to my room.
01:47Just as I turned around, a loud noise came from the living room.
01:50Dad abruptly stood up and slammed his hand on the table.
01:53Why have you been walking around with that sour face ever since you came in?
01:56Your mother already apologized and even gave you your favorite drink.
01:59What's with that attitude?
02:00It looks like we've spoiled you too much.
02:03My heart twisted and even breathing hurt.
02:05Tears blurred my vision, but I still lifted the glass from mom's hand and drank it all in one go.
02:12I then gently set the empty glass down and wiped away my tears.
02:15I calmly looked at dad.
02:17Yvette's the one who likes mangoes.
02:18I am not, I'm allergic to them.
02:20But it doesn't matter.
02:21I already drank it all.
02:22Can I go to my room now?
02:24Sophia!
02:25Why didn't you say something earlier if you were allergic to it?
02:27Who told you to drink it?
02:29You're so stubborn!
02:30Mom panicked and quickly patted my back.
02:32Dad looked embarrassed, but he still harshly replied,
02:35You could have just explained yourself.
02:37You've always had that unlikable attitude.
02:39You're nothing like Vivi.
02:40She knows how to communicate.
02:42Yvette's voice drifted over from the couch.
02:44Dad, don't say that about Sophia.
02:46You'll make her sad.
02:47She sounded gentle, but the smugness in her eyes was impossible to hide.
02:52Yvette had always used my dullness to highlight her perfection, no matter what it was.
02:57She loved comparing herself to me.
02:58She would only be satisfied when she got to trample me.
03:01I should have felt hurt, but my heart only felt numb.
03:04Even when faced with such humiliation, I felt no emotions anymore.
03:08I'm sorry.
03:09It won't happen again.
03:10The moment the words left my mouth, everyone in the room stared at me in shock.
03:19My obedience caught everyone off guard.
03:21After a brief silence, Dad finally said,
03:25That's more like it.
03:26We're family.
03:27There's nothing we can't talk about.
03:28I only say these things for your own good.
03:32Yeah, I know.
03:33I obediently nodded, with a numb smile fixed on my face.
03:37Upon seeing that I wasn't upset, they relaxed and returned to the living room with Yvette.
03:41I paused for a moment, then continued up the stairs toward my room.
03:44But, just as I stepped onto the staircase, someone grabbed my wrist.
03:47Joel had come up beside me, without my noticing.
03:49He leaned in close, and whispered,
03:52Are you really not angry?
03:55His gentle tone made my eyes sting all over again.
03:58I felt a rush of grievance rise in my chest, but I could only shake my head.
04:02My throat tightened, and I couldn't utter a single word.
04:05Joel, however, looked relieved.
04:07I knew you'd be the sensible one.
04:09You never get upset over the little things.
04:11Actually, there's something I wanted to talk to you about.
04:17He turned his head away, avoiding my eyes.
04:21We should postpone the wedding next week.
04:23I promised your sister that I'd take her to see the northern lights at Aurora Bay when she turns 18.
04:29Now that her birthday's over, she won't stop begging me to keep my promise.
04:33So, I thought, why not take the whole family along for a trip?
04:38What do you think?
04:42The invitations haven't gone out yet.
04:44It's just a wedding, so pushing it back a few days won't matter.
04:47He said with a faint smile and a hint of affection in his eyes.
04:50After being abandoned 99 times, why would I still expect any love them?
04:54When I didn't respond, Jolie impatiently scrapped his head.
04:57Come on, Seth.
04:58Evelde's never been abroad before.
05:00It's her first time going somewhere that far.
05:01As her family, we should be there for her.
05:04Besides, you've never seen the northern lights either.
05:06Think of it as an early honeymoon.
05:07I didn't answer immediately.
05:08I lifted my head and looked straight at my heart flutter,
05:11now filled with nothing but entitlement and carelessness.
05:13Joel, do you even remember what I'm allergic to or my favorite color?
05:16The dish I like the most?
05:18The song I hum when I'm happy?
05:19With every question I ask, Joel's gaze splintered away a little more.
05:22He instinctively wanted to say something, but I gently raised man to stop him.
05:26You don't know, do you?
05:27After all these years together, you don't know the first thing about me.
05:29Seth, what's the point of all this?
05:31We're talking about the wedding.
05:32You're right.
05:33There's no point.
05:34You want to take Yeville to see the northern lights?
05:36You want to postpone the wedding and you want me to be understanding and considerate?
05:39Fine.
05:40I've been sensible my whole life, but from now on, I never want to be that person again.
05:45Sure.
05:48What did you say?
05:51I said, I agree to cancel the wedding.
06:00He corrected me with a frown on his face.
06:03Cancel?
06:04No one's canceling anything.
06:06I said postpone.
06:07We can't just cancel the wedding.
06:09I lowered my head.
06:10A faint, bitter smile tugged at my lips.
06:13Was there really a difference?
06:15As long as Yvette was around, she would never let our wedding happen.
06:18Joel was still waiting for my answer, but I didn't want to say another word.
06:21I turned and walked toward the stairs.
06:27Seth, wait!
06:28He reached out to grab me.
06:29The moment his fingers touched my wrist, I shook him off.
06:32Don't touch me!
06:33My voice wasn't loud, but it cut through the air like a blade.
06:37Joel froze, a flash of embarrassment crossing his face.
06:40You want to postpone the wedding?
06:42Fine.
06:43Take her to see the northern lights?
06:45Fine.
06:46I said yes to everything.
06:47What else do you need from me?
06:50I just thought you'd be more understanding.
06:57I understand.
06:59Perfectly.
06:59I understand that I will never come first.
07:02Not to you.
07:04Not to anyone in this house.
07:06I looked at him with no anger, no tears.
07:09Just the calm of someone who had completely let go.
07:11Joel opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
07:14Are you upset because I'm going to Aurora Bay with Joel?
07:17Yvette's voice came from behind me, dripping with false innocence.
07:20I ignored her and kept walking.
07:21Yvette had always been that way.
07:23Even if I did nothing, all she had to do was cry or pout in front of our family, and
07:27everyone would rush to defend her.
07:28Joshua was the first to lose his temper.
07:30That's enough, Seth.
07:31Didn't you hear Vivi talking to you?
07:33One moment you say you're not angry, and at the next you're giving everyone an attitude.
07:36Is this how you treat your family?
07:38I didn't look back.
07:39I kept climbing.
07:40One step, two steps.
07:41My skin began to prinkle.
07:43A tightness spread at the back of my throat.
07:45I needed to get to my room and take my medication.
07:49But Joshua clearly wasn't done with me.
07:51Where do you think you're going?
07:53We're not done talking.
07:57I need my medicine.
07:59The mango juice.
08:00Don't give me that.
08:02You're just trying to get attention.
08:04Like always.
08:06His hand grabbed my hair and yanked backward.
08:09Pain exploded.
08:11I lost my balance and fell down the stairs.
08:20I fell to the floor, and pain shot through both my knees.
08:25Don't be mad at Sophia, Yvette said, wiping the corners of her eyes.
08:30It's all my fault.
08:31I shouldn't have turned 18 so soon.
08:33If I had waited a little longer, then the trip wouldn't have clashed with her wedding.
08:39I caught the tiny smirk tugging at her lips.
08:43You're being ridiculous.
08:44You can't decide when you grow up.
08:47This happened because she picked the wrong date for her wedding.
08:50It's not because of you.
08:51Joshua snapped.
08:53He stared at me.
08:54Irritation written all over his face.
08:57You love sulking, right?
08:58Fine.
08:59Stay here and sulk.
09:00Joshua grabbed me and shoved me into the storage room next to the stairs.
09:05I started to panic and fumbled for the handle, but I heard the click of a lock from the other
09:10side before I could reach for it.
09:12He had locked the door.
09:14Stay put.
09:16Joshua coldly said, you can come out when you've had the time to think about your actions.
09:21No, please let me out.
09:23I'm allergic to mangoes.
09:25I need my medication.
09:27I screamed.
09:29But Joshua's voice was already fading as he pushed Yethryn out the main door.
09:35I made a reservation at a seafood restaurant.
09:40It's almost time for our reservation, so we should leave soon.
09:44He said.
09:48But Sophia, she'll be fine.
09:51A few hours in there will teach her a lesson.
09:54Joshua replied.
09:56Yeah, she has such a bad temper.
10:00Locking her in there might be a good idea.
10:03I'll bring her some of her favorite shrimp later.
10:06Come on, Joel.
10:08She'll be fine in there for a few hours.
10:11Instantly, terror surged through me.
10:13I pounded on the door with all my strength and screamed.
10:16I'm not mad anymore!
10:17I'll apologize to you, Beth!
10:19I'll do anything!
10:20Just let me out!
10:21I can't breathe.
10:23I'll die if I don't take my medication!
10:26My voice cracked into a shrill plea, but no one answered.
10:32I crumpled to the floor.
10:34The itching spread from my back to my face.
10:38And soon, my throat began to close as well.
10:43Mom and Dad had seen me drink the mango juice.
10:45They knew I was allergic to it, but they forgot about me.
10:48They remembered Yvette's favorite seafood restaurant,
10:50but forgot that I had downed a glass of mango juice just five minutes ago.
10:54Desperation pushed me to my feet.
10:55I twisted the doorknob with all my might,
10:58but the door was locked from the outside and wouldn't budge.
11:03I frantically searched my pockets,
11:05but the foam I had been holding onto must have flown somewhere when Joshua had grabbed me.
11:09Soon, the rash spread all over my body.
11:11My face had swollen up from the reaction, and I could barely see through my eyes.
11:14Not to mention, breathing became difficult too.
11:16If I couldn't escape, I would die in the storage room.
11:19As I searched for something to break the lock,
11:21I finally spotted my phone that had been tossed to the corner.
11:24Overjoyed, I picked it up with trembling hands.
11:32However, neither my parents, my brother, nor Joel answered my calls.
11:45Suddenly, a message from Joshua popped up on the screen.
11:48Don't come to Aurora Bay with us.
11:50You'll make Yvette sad if you do.
11:53Tears spilled from the corners of my swollen eyes.
11:55I should have known better than to expect anything from them.
11:58In the end, I dialed for emergency services.
12:01My fingers trembled so violently that I nearly dropped the phone.
12:04The screen was swam before my eyes.
12:06Blurry, doubled, then blurry again.
12:08I forced myself to focus, pressing the phone against my...
12:11I opened my mouth.
12:12911, what's your emergency?
12:14My throat had swollen nearly shut.
12:19Please!
12:21Storage room!
12:23I can't breathe!
12:25I wasn't even sure if the dispatcher heard me.
12:28Ma'am, I can't understand you.
12:31Are you having a medical emergency?
12:32Can you tell me your address?
12:35I could hear the voice, but it was growing distant,
12:38as if someone were slowly turning down the volume of the world.
12:42The light seeping through the crack under the door dimmed,
12:46or maybe my eyes were failing.
12:49Darkness crept in from the edges of my vision.
12:53I slid down the wall,
12:56my body too heavy to hold upright.
12:59The phone slipped from my hand
13:01and clattered to the floor.
13:04At the seafood restaurant,
13:06Joshua had ordered enough expensive seafood
13:08to cover the table.
13:10It made Yvette's mouth water.
13:12There's way too much.
13:13I can't possibly finish all of this, Josh.
13:14Maybe we should cancel an order or two?
13:16It's fine.
13:16We got all the dishes you said you wanted to try.
13:18We can just ask for takeout if we can't finish them.
13:21Yvette's lips curled upward slightly,
13:23but she pretended to protest.
13:25Wouldn't letting Sophia eat our leftovers be a little rude?
13:30What's wrong with that?
13:31She's never had any of this before.
13:32At least she can finally get a taste of these dishes thanks to you.
13:35The moment Joshua said that,
13:36the table fell silent.
13:38Suddenly, it hit everyone
13:40that I really hadn't tasted any of these dishes before.
13:42Despite being five years older than Yvette,
13:45they had never once taken me out for a nice meal.
13:48Joshua's the first child and the pride of the family.
13:51My parents had poured all their time and attention into him.
13:54By the time I came along,
13:55they were too busy tutoring Joshua
13:57and expanding their business to pay much attention to me.
13:59They had simply left my care to a nanny.
14:02When Yvette arrived, their careers were flourishing.
14:05Every bit of the affection they felt guilty
14:07for not giving me went straight to her.
14:10Unaware of the silence around the table,
14:12Yvette kept up her innocent act.
14:15Maybe you should order a separate portion for Sophia.
14:17If she finds out she's eating my leftovers,
14:19she'll probably get upset again.
14:21Mom hesitated for a moment before saying,
14:23Don't serve the shrimp or the lobster just yet.
14:25We'll have them to go when we leave.
14:27Your sister loves those things,
14:29but she hasn't had them in a while.
14:30Yvette froze.
14:32She hadn't expected her performance to backfire.
14:35But mom, I wanted some lobster too.
14:38Vivi, be good.
14:40We already have more than we can eat.
14:42Let those two dishes be for your sister.
14:44I'll bring you back here next time.
14:45Mom said Yvette was visibly unhappy.
14:49She had always gotten the first pick of everything,
14:52so she couldn't stand that I was being prioritized now.
14:55But I hadn't had lobster in months.
14:57Why does she get to have it all?
14:59Dad frowned.
14:59Vivi, there's already the king crab
15:01and prime beef on the table.
15:03Your mother's only saving the cheapest dish
15:05for your sister.
15:07Why are you making a fuss?
15:09Yvette's heart skipped a beat.
15:11She realized she had gone too far
15:13and had aroused mom's and dad's suspicion.
15:16I just wanted to save the best for Sophia.
15:18I'll take the cheaper dishes.
15:20She deserves the fancy ones.
15:21That's my good girl.
15:22Don't worry about it.
15:23Sophia doesn't understand much about these things.
15:26You don't need to give in to her.
15:27Exactly.
15:28Sophia can't handle expensive food anyway.
15:30She's allergic to mangoes.
15:31Who knows what seafood might do to her?
15:33Just then, there was a loud clang
15:34as the spoon slipped from mom's hand,
15:36but she didn't notice the mess.
15:37Instead, her face went pale
15:38as she jumped to her feet.
15:39Didn't Sophia drink mango juice earlier?
15:41Joshua locked her in the storage room.
15:43Will she be okay?
15:44Dad's expression darkened
15:45as the realization hit him too.
15:46Meanwhile, Joshua was still confused.
15:48What are you talking about?
15:49What allergy?
15:50He had been on the phone
15:50when I drank the mango juice earlier.
15:52He hadn't heard my conversation
15:54with mom and dad.
15:55Joel didn't waste another second.
15:57He grabbed the car keys and said,
15:58I'm going back.
15:59She has to be fine.
16:01We'll come with you.
16:02Yvette was in disbelief.
16:03What about dinner?
16:04Where are you guys going?
16:06But no one answered her.
16:07By the time they'd rushed back home,
16:09the front gate of the villa
16:10had already been broken open.
16:11Neighbors had gathered outside too,
16:12whispering and pointing towards the house.
16:14As they approached the crowd,
16:15Mrs. Watson next hit
16:16as raised her voice over the noise.
16:17The police came about two hours ago
16:19and broke your door down.
16:20They carried someone out
16:21under a white sheet.
16:25Mrs. Watson's words
16:26hit like a thunderbolt.
16:28Mom let out a sharp, broken cry
16:30and staggered backward
16:31until she hit the garden fence.
16:33Her hands flew to her mouth,
16:35but a scream still escaped
16:36through her fingers.
16:38Sophia, my baby!
16:39No, no, no!
16:40She clawed at the air
16:42as if trying to grab
16:43her daughter back from death.
16:44Dad didn't speak.
16:45He just turned
16:46and lemsed toward the house,
16:47his polished shoes
16:48slipping on the gravel.
16:49He fell once,
16:50got up,
16:51and crashed through
16:51the broken front door.
16:52Inside, he saw the storage room,
16:54door splintered,
16:55floor scuffed,
16:55an empty syringe wrapper
16:56left behind by the paramedics.
16:58He dropped to his knees
16:59right there
16:59and pressed his forehead
17:00to the cold tiles,
17:01his shoulders shaking
17:02with silent sobs.
17:03Joel pulled out his phone
17:04with trembling hands
17:04and dialed Sophia again.
17:05The call went straight
17:06to voicemail.
17:07He tried three more times,
17:08then threw the phone
17:09against the car.
17:09It shattered.
17:10He didn't care.
17:11He slid down the side
17:11of the car,
17:12buried his face
17:13in his hands,
17:13and whispered,
17:14I was going to take
17:14her sister to see the lights.
17:16I postponed our wedding.
17:17God, I'm a monster!
17:18Behind them,
17:19Yvelt watched it all.
17:20She bit her lower lip,
17:21not to hold back tears,
17:22but to suppress a smile.
17:23Then she walked over to Joel,
17:24crouched down,
17:25and gently placed a hand
17:25on his back.
17:26Joel, don't blame yourself.
17:28Sophia would have wanted
17:28you to be happy.
17:29Her voice was soft,
17:31soothing,
17:31and utterly fake.
17:32As she spoke,
17:33she had broken the door
17:34of the villa
17:34and allowed herself
17:35one satisfied.
17:36She's really gone.
17:38Mom's eyes rolled back,
17:39and she collapsed.
17:40Joshua caught her
17:41just in time.
17:42Dad's face went pale
17:43as he stumbled
17:44into the house.
17:45When he saw
17:45the storage room door
17:46that had been forced open,
17:48he fell to the floor.
17:49My daughter!
17:50Sophia!
17:51Panic flooded Joel's face.
17:53His voice trembled
17:54as he said,
17:54No, that can't be.
17:56Sof was just fine just now.
17:58She has to be fine now, too.
17:59When he finally snapped
18:00out of his panicked state,
18:01he turned to rush outside,
18:03but Yavit stopped him.
18:04Joel, don't go.
18:05Mom fainted.
18:05You have to get her
18:06to the hospital.
18:07Joshua was holding Mom upright
18:08as he helplessly
18:09looked at Joel.
18:10Joel gritted his teeth.
18:11Get her in the car.
18:12We'll go to the hospital
18:14and see Sof, too.
18:16By the end of his sentence,
18:18his voice was already breaking.
18:19With that,
18:20they hurried to the hospital.
18:22The moment they arrived,
18:23Mom woke up.
18:24Sophia!
18:25She cried out,
18:26tightly grabbing Joshua's hand.
18:28She's fine, right?
18:29She's still in the storage room.
18:30Go let her out already.
18:31Joshua looked away.
18:33He couldn't meet Mom's gaze.
18:34Sof isn't in the storage room anymore.
18:36We're going to see her now.
18:38Joshua said guiltily.
18:39See her?
18:39What do you mean, see her?
18:41Mom blankly murmured.
18:42When the nurse led them
18:43to the morgue up,
18:44she nearly fainted again.
18:46The only patient brought in today
18:48could not be saved,
18:49the nurse said.
18:50Please come in and take a look,
18:51opening the door
18:52with pity in her eyes.
18:53This is your fault!
18:55Why did you lock her in there?
18:57You killed her!
18:59Give me back my daughter!
19:01No, that's impossible.
19:02It was just an allergy.
19:05How could she be dead?
19:07It's my fault!
19:09Why did I make her drink that juice?
19:12Why didn't I remember she was allergic?
19:15In the center of the room
19:16stood a single bed
19:16covered with a white sheet.
19:18Mom suddenly broke down
19:19and pounded on Joshua's chest.
19:20Joshua stumbled back from her blows,
19:22but all he could do
19:23was numbly fix his eyes
19:24on the body before him.
19:26He was filled with disbelief.
19:27Dad fell to his knees.
19:29He tore at his hair in anguish.
19:31Joel staggered toward the bed.
19:32His hands shook
19:33as he tried to lift the sheet,
19:35but he failed multiple times.
19:37Everyone was drowning in grief,
19:39but only Yoren stared at the body
19:41with cold eyes.
19:42Her lips were curled outward.
19:44She was clearly in a good mood.
19:46Now that I was dead,
19:47she was probably the happiest
19:49of them all.
19:51No one would compete with her
19:53for mom's and dad's love anymore.
19:56Everyone,
19:57including Joel,
19:58would belong to her alone.
20:01Mom,
20:02Dad,
20:02Joshua,
20:04Joel,
20:04Yvette said with false sympathy.
20:06Sophia wouldn't want
20:07to see you like this.
20:08It was just an accident.
20:11None of this is anyone's fault.
20:13Please,
20:13don't blame yourselves.
20:15She lowered her gaze,
20:17trying her best
20:17to hide her smirk.
20:19As she stepped closer to the bed,
20:20she turned to Joel
20:21with feigned curiosity.
20:23I heard that sudden deaths
20:24can distort the face,
20:25but Sophia loved looking pretty.
20:27but I'm sure she still
20:28looks beautiful now.
20:30With that,
20:30she eagerly lifted
20:31the white sheet.
20:32She wanted to expose me
20:33at my ugliest moment
20:34so that they would be horrified
20:35by how I look.
20:37Don't!
20:37Joel shouted.
20:38He squeezed his eyes shut.
20:40He couldn't bring himself
20:41to look at the body.
20:42Just then,
20:42Alanda's scream pierced the air.
20:44No!
20:44That's not Sophia!
20:46Joel's eyes flow open.
20:47Beneath the sheet
20:48was the body of a man
20:49in his 50s or 60s.
20:51What's going on?
20:52If that's not Sophia,
20:52then where is she?
20:53Mom and dad hurried forward.
20:55The moment they saw the body,
20:56their eyes wowed in.
20:57It's not Sophia!
20:59Thank goodness!
21:00Wait!
21:00Where's Sophia?
21:01If she isn't here,
21:02where could she have gone?
21:03It's weird on her lips.
21:04She's probably hiding somewhere.
21:06Laugh at us.
21:06She knows how worried
21:07everyone gets,
21:08so she's pretending to be dead
21:10just to see all of you
21:11cry for her!
21:13Dad's face flushed red.
21:14He let out a snort.
21:15Ridiculous!
21:16Sophia's gone too far this time.
21:17Doesn't she know
21:18how worried we'd be?
21:19Joshua's and Joel's
21:20faces darkened as well.
21:21Their early embarrassment
21:22now mixed with
21:23a renewed resentment toward me.
21:24Joel immediately pulled out
21:26his phone to call me.
21:27When the line wouldn't connect,
21:28he tapped the screen in anger.
21:29That's enough, Sophia!
21:31Do you think this is funny?
21:32How could you play
21:33such a cruel prank on us?
21:36You'd better come back
21:37and apologize right now
21:38or I'll cancel the wedding.
21:39At the same time,
21:40Joshua sent me his own
21:41the storage room
21:42doesn't mean you can take
21:43revenge on me message.
21:44If you have any decency,
21:46don't...
21:46Having calmed down
21:47from the shock,
21:48Mom and Dad were now
21:49more embarrassed
21:50than heartbroken too.
21:51None of them wanted
21:52to see me anymore.
21:53Mr. Jones served our family
21:55for over 20 years.
21:56He was one of us.
21:57We'll give him
21:58a proper burial.
21:59Now they turned
22:00their attention fully
22:01to our butler,
22:02Alfred Jones' funeral.
22:04No one bothered
22:04to ask where I went.
22:07Yvette was the only one
22:08happy about my disappearance.
22:12Even during the funeral,
22:13she couldn't stop
22:14humming to herself.
22:19When they got home,
22:20she was the first
22:21to speak up.
22:22Even though Sophia's gone,
22:23we shouldn't break off
22:24the engagement
22:25with the Graham family.
22:26I'm willing to marry
22:27Joel in her place.
22:29She shyly lowered her head,
22:30but everyone stared
22:32at her in shock.
22:33Vivi, what are you saying?
22:34Your sister's just upset.
22:36Your sister's just upset.
22:37She'll come back
22:37sooner or later.
22:38Joel is her fiance.
22:40Whether or not
22:41the engagement goes on
22:42has nothing to do with you.
22:43Dad said,
22:44disagreeing without hesitation.
22:46Even Joel looked uncomfortable.
22:48Vivi, I've always
22:49thought of him as a sister.
22:51The only woman I love
22:52is Sophia.
22:54I could never marry you.
22:56Yvette's face
22:57was filled with disbelief.
22:59Why?
23:01You all say
23:02you love me more,
23:03so why does that bitch
23:05always get what's bad?
23:06Yvette!
23:08Watch your mouth!
23:09She's your sister!
23:10Mom snapped,
23:11her tone harder
23:12than Yvette had ever
23:13heard before.
23:14She's not!
23:15She's not my sister!
23:17I wish she could die!
23:20Yvette screamed
23:21and bolted upstairs
23:22to her room.
23:23Everyone exchanged glances
23:25as they silently stood
23:26in the living room.
23:29Then,
23:29Mom's eyes fell
23:30on the takeout boxes
23:31of seafood on the table.
23:32She asked,
23:33Sophia's never had
23:34any of this,
23:35has she?
23:35They began to realize
23:37how little I had mattered
23:38in the household.
23:39Mom and Bad always asked
23:40about Joshua's grades
23:41and checked on Yvette's routines,
23:43pampering her in every way.
23:44Yet,
23:44they didn't even know
23:45what I liked
23:45or what I was allergic to.
23:47They didn't even know
23:48how my studies were going.
23:49I was like a dispensable
23:50presence to them.
23:51And now that I was gone,
23:53they'd finally realized
23:54how much they'd neglected me.
23:55We can't really blame Sophia
23:56for what she did.
23:58If she comes back,
23:59I'll forgive her for everything.
24:00By the time the paramedics
24:01broke down the door,
24:03I had already passed out
24:04in the storage room.
24:05Fortunately,
24:06they were professionals.
24:07One of them immediately
24:08administered an epinephrine shot,
24:10dragging me back
24:11from the edge of death.
24:12Your throat swelled up
24:13due to a severe
24:14allergic reaction.
24:15The doctor said
24:16as he helped me
24:16onto a stretcher.
24:17The swelling's gone down now,
24:18but you should still go
24:19to the hospital
24:19for a full check-up.
24:20Just then,
24:21Alfred the butler
24:22came running in
24:22from the backyard.
24:23The sight of the paramedics
24:24crowding the house
24:25made him freeze.
24:26What's going on here?
24:26How did you get in?
24:28He turned and saw me
24:29lying on the stretcher
24:30with a swollen face.
24:33Immediately,
24:33his breathing stopped
24:34and he clutched his chest
24:36before collapsing
24:36to the floor.
24:38The doctor was shocked.
24:40Quick,
24:41get him into the ambulance!
24:42After a moment of chaos,
24:44the doctor turned to me
24:45and said,
24:45Hang on,
24:45I'm sorry.
24:46That man just went
24:47into cardiac arrest.
24:48We have to rush him
24:48to the hospital right now.
24:50The ambulance can't fit
24:50another patient.
24:51I summoned the last
24:52of my strength
24:53and said,
24:54Save him first.
24:55I'm fine now.
24:56I'll go to the hospital later.
24:58I'll transfer you the money,
25:00but just make sure
25:01he survives.
25:06After the ambulance
25:07took Alfred away,
25:08I weakly returned
25:09to my bedroom.
25:10There was barely
25:11anything in there.
25:12There were just
25:13a few sets of clothes,
25:14an old diary,
25:16and a nearly empty
25:17bottle of facial cleanser.
25:18There weren't any jewelry
25:19or bags in there.
25:21Upon thinking of Yvette's
25:22huge walk-in closet
25:23and her vanity
25:24full of accessories,
25:25I couldn't help
25:26but let out a bitter smile.
25:27This closet is perfect.
25:29I had never mattered
25:30and mattered in this family.
25:32So,
25:33I should leave.
25:33There was no place
25:35for me here anymore.
25:36I casually packed my clothes
25:37into an old suitcase
25:38and looked at the diary
25:39filled with 99 entries
25:41of hurt and disappointment.
25:42I didn't take it with me
25:44and left it
25:44in the corner of the room.
25:48When I was little,
25:49I wrote an entry
25:50every time I felt ignored.
25:51I had believed
25:52that if I were obedient enough,
25:54my parents and brother
25:54would one day notice me
25:55and love me a little more.
25:57But I was wrong.
25:58No matter how good I was,
25:59no matter how much I tried,
26:01I could never compete
26:02with Yvette's slightest frown.
26:03I should have left earlier,
26:04I said to myself,
26:05nodding as I lifted
26:06the heavy leather Sokus.
26:07But it's not too late now.
26:09I took the little money
26:10I had saved to buy them gifts
26:11and kept it all for myself.
26:13When the plane took off,
26:14all the pain from being left behind
26:15and all the love
26:16I'd never received
26:17stayed behind in that house.
26:18After studying vocal music,
26:20I had always dreamed
26:20of going to Vendonia
26:21to continue my studies,
26:22but I never dared to leave home.
26:24I had saved up some money
26:24to buy gifts for my family
26:26and to get Joel an expensive watch,
26:27but I'd never thought
26:28of saving even a little for myself.
26:29Now,
26:30I would take back
26:30all the love I'd given them.
26:31If no one loved me,
26:32then I'd love myself.
26:33Vendonia truly was
26:35the city of music.
26:36Everything I had dreamed
26:37of learning was here.
26:38So,
26:38I threw myself
26:39into my studies
26:40day and night.
26:41When I'd first arrived
26:42in this foreign country,
26:43everything had felt strange,
26:44but I filled my time
26:45by practicing music,
26:47absorbing knowledge
26:47like a sponge.
26:50Even the strictest professor
26:51eventually sighed
26:52and said,
26:55Relax a little, Sophia.
26:56At this rate,
26:57you'll collapse in class.
26:59Don't worry, professor.
27:00I still have plenty of energy.
27:02I replied with a smile.
27:04In one year,
27:04I completed
27:05all my vocal performance credits.
27:07During my second year,
27:09I took up music composition
27:10and dance.
27:12By my third year,
27:14my mentor invited me
27:15to perform at his concert.
27:19Me?
27:20No way!
27:21I've never performed
27:23on stage before.
27:24But my mentor
27:25simply patted my shoulder
27:26and confidently smiled.
27:27Don't underestimate yourself.
27:29He said.
27:30You're my most gifted student.
27:33Your tone is pure
27:35and has a rare quality to it.
27:37He looked at me
27:38with a deep gaze.
27:39There's also something
27:40in your music
27:41that tells stories.
27:42Something that moves
27:43people to tears.
27:44I don't know
27:45what you've been through.
27:46to write songs
27:47filled with such sorrow.
27:48But let me tell you,
27:50every bit of suffering
27:51you've endured
27:51will become part of the path
27:53that leads you to success.
27:55Believe in yourself, Sophia.
27:57Show them what you can do.
28:00You deserve to shine.
28:03Instantly,
28:03my tears fell.
28:09So someone really could hear
28:10my pain through my music.
28:12They could feel my story
28:13just by listening to it.
28:14That was the power of music.
28:16And that was the reason
28:17I was willing to dedicate
28:18my life to it.
28:20The concert was a huge success.
28:23I performed an original piece of mine
28:24and stunned the audience.
28:26Everyone remembered
28:27my distinct tone
28:28and the emotion
28:29behind my pieces.
28:31As my mentor had said,
28:33my past didn't break me.
28:34It lifted me higher.
28:36Inspiration flowed endlessly.
28:38My pieces evolved
28:39from raging at fate
28:40to forgiving my past
28:42to celebrating life's brief beauty.
28:45I poured my journey
28:46into every note,
28:48letting people witness
28:49my transformation.
28:51Soon,
28:52my name spread everywhere.
28:53They called me
28:54the generation's
28:55most legendary musician.
28:56My mentor took me on tour
28:57and my fifth year away from home,
28:59I finally returned to my home.
29:00Performed my new song.
29:03When the last note faded,
29:05the applause didn't stop
29:06for a long time.
29:06On my way backstage,
29:08I suddenly saw faces
29:09I hadn't seen in five years.
29:11Mom, Dad, Joshua, and Joel.
29:14They all looked emotional.
29:15Sophia, it's really you.
29:17We finally found you.
29:19Mom cried
29:19as she stepped forward
29:20with trembling hands.
29:22Why did you block all of us?
29:23It's been five years
29:24with no word from you.
29:25We thought something
29:25had happened to you.
29:26Before I could answer,
29:27Joel rushed towards me.
29:28He looked worn out,
29:29his eyes red and hollow.
29:30He had an air of sadness
29:31I'd never seen in him before.
29:33Sif, are you okay?
29:35I've missed you so much.
29:37His voice was heavy with longing.
29:38Back then,
29:39I might have felt my heart stir.
29:41But now,
29:41I simply stepped back
29:43and calmly said,
29:44I told you I was calling off
29:46the engagement five years ago.
29:47We're over.
29:50When I boarded the plane back then,
29:52I had blocked them all.
29:53Before blocking Joel specifically,
29:56I'd sent him a breakup message.
29:58That was my way of giving
29:59our failed relationship
30:00a decent goodbye.
30:01But he clearly didn't see it that way.
30:04His eyes grew redder.
30:05I never agreed to call it off.
30:07We didn't break up.
30:08We were just fighting.
30:09Breakups don't need mutual consent.
30:11And wasn't it better
30:13that I'd walked away?
30:15You're free to be with Yvonne now,
30:18I said.
30:19Joel's face tightened.
30:21That's not true!
30:22I've only ever loved you!
30:25Yvonne is just a sister to me!
30:28I nodded.
30:29Right.
30:29And to protect your sister,
30:31you canceled our wedding.
30:32You left me again and again for her.
30:35She's your sister too.
30:36Can't you just be more understanding?
30:37He reflectively said.
30:39But the moment those words left his mouth,
30:41regret flashed across his face.
30:43I stared at Joel until he looked away in guilt.
30:45Only then did I nod and said,
30:47You're right.
30:47I should make room for her.
30:49That's why I decided to give you to her.
30:50Isn't that the perfect outcome?
30:52Joel opened his mouth to respond,
30:53but I waved him off.
30:54My feelings for you faded a long time ago
30:56when you'd repeatedly told me to step aside.
30:57I don't love you anymore,
30:58and I'm done sacrificing myself for you.
31:00No one cherished me,
31:01but I learned to cherish myself.
31:02I didn't spare him another glance
31:03and started walking towards the backstage exit.
31:06But before I could leave,
31:08the others blocked my way.
31:10Joshua looked at me with a conflicted expression.
31:12You've really made something of yourself
31:14over these past few years.
31:16Sophia, we read your diary.
31:17We had no idea you had gone through so much pain.
31:20He said, sighing deeply.
31:22I remember tossing that diary
31:24into a corner before I left.
31:25I didn't think they would dig it up and read it.
31:27Dad's voice grew heavy,
31:29like he was carrying the weight
31:30of a great misunderstanding
31:31that hadn't been resolved for years.
31:34He explained how they had poured everything
31:36into their careers to give us a better life,
31:38and in the process, they had neglected me.
31:41Yvette's birth made them feel guilty
31:42about the childhood I had missed,
31:44and to make up for that,
31:46they'd showered her with blood.
31:48He said that they had ignored me for so long
31:51that they didn't know how to connect with me anymore.
31:54They had simply forgotten how to love me anymore.
31:57I listened quietly, offering no response.
32:00Mom's eyes shimmering with gift.
32:03You were wrong to forget about your allergy that day.
32:06You must have been in so much pain.
32:07She said in a trembling voice,
32:09his tears welled up in her eyes.
32:11You must have felt so awful.
32:13It was all our fault.
32:15Your father and I are sorry, Sophia.
32:18We can make it up to you.
32:20Will you forgive us?
32:22Those were the words I had wanted to hear so badly
32:25when I was a teenager.
32:26Every time they abandoned me,
32:28I dreamed that one day they would finally realize
32:30how much they had hurt me and apologize for it.
32:33But now, it was too late.
32:35I wasn't the little girl who was waiting for them to love her anymore.
32:38Noticing my silence, their faces turned even sadder.
32:41Mom and dad wanted to keep talking,
32:43but I had already lost my patience.
32:45All right, are you done?
32:47You can leave if you are.
32:48I have another show to prepare for.
32:50Don't waste my time.
32:51I coolly said,
32:52How can you call this a waste of time apologizing to you?
32:55Joshua said, raising his voice.
32:57He couldn't understand why I was so cold to them.
33:00He thought it was just a misunderstanding.
33:02I had once loved them,
33:03so he wondered how I had ended up the way I was now.
33:06Does an apology always have to be accepted?
33:09I flatly asked.
33:10Joshua went silent.
33:11We were standing backstage at the concert hall,
33:13so people were passing by.
33:15Most of them were visitors from abroad
33:17who didn't understand our language,
33:19but they still slowed down to watch the scene unfold.
33:21I'd never liked being a spectacle,
33:23especially now, as a public figure.
33:25I had to be careful with every move I made.
33:28But right then, anger consumed me,
33:29and I let everything I had held inside spill out.
33:31You always said you gave Yavelle the love that was meant for me.
33:34But why?
33:35I was the one you wronged,
33:36so why was she the one who got all the love?
33:38My eyes stung as memories of being invisible for years resurfaced.
33:42I thought I had already made peace with it,
33:44but my chest ached just as much as it used to.
33:47You had expectations for Joshua and affection for Yavelle.
33:50But what about me?
33:51I was just there.
33:53Joshua was your pride,
33:54and Yavelle, your precious darling.
33:56I said, pausing to take a shaky breath.
33:59If you never wanted me,
34:00why did you bring me into this world at all?
34:02My voice softened to a whisper as I said,
34:05I left you.
34:06I'm far away from all of you now.
34:09Isn't it better this way?
34:11By then, Mom's tears were streaming down her face.
34:14Sophia, we were wrong.
34:15We all were.
34:16You're our daughter too.
34:18Blood ties can't be December just like this.
34:20I'd rather not be your daughter at all.
34:22With that, I turned and walked backstage without looking back
34:25at the family now sobbing behind me.
34:27Maybe my words had cut too deep
34:28because the Nortons never appeared before me again
34:30for a long time after that.
34:32But somehow, my past got dug up.
34:34The incident of me getting locked in that storage room
34:36and the wedding Joel had postponed to take Yavelle on a vacation
34:38became known to my fans.
34:40The people who loved my songs now cried for the girl behind them.
34:42They condemned the heartless Norton family
34:44and my ex-fiancé for betraying me.
34:46A housekeeper who had always pitied me
34:48also spread word that Yvette once said
34:49she'd take my place in marrying Joel
34:51and wanted me to die online.
34:52My fans get personally,
34:53so they stormed the Norton residence
34:54and pelsled Yavite with rotten vegetables and eggs.
34:57Joel's company was hit hard.
34:59His products were bullicotted
35:00and the company's market value dropped by a billion overnight.
35:04None of them dared to appear before me anymore.
35:06As for Yvette,
35:07she was silently sent abroad.
35:09Before leaving, she had sneered.
35:10You think Sophia's the only one with musical talent?
35:14I'm even better than she is!
35:16Just wait until I come back.
35:18I'll make sure the first thing I do is crush her under my feet.
35:20She demanded to study in Vendonia too.
35:22She even went out of her way to find out
35:23what major and courses I had taken back then,
35:25hoping to replicate my path to success.
35:27But Yvette never cared about music.
35:28She refused to take her lessons seriously.
35:30During her three years abroad,
35:31she learned nothing.
35:32She partied every night,
35:32drifting from one man to the next.
35:34When she ran out of money,
35:35she resorted to various excuses
35:37to get money from mom and dad.
35:39She even nearly depleted their entire savings.
35:42Joshua sensed something was wrong,
35:44so he flew to Vendonia himself to check on her.
35:47Soon, he uncovered all her lies.
35:49I wouldn't have had to lie!
35:50Aren't I the one you love the most?
35:52Or are you saving all your money for that bitch, Sophia?
35:57Joshua tried to talk some sense into her,
36:01but Eileen grabbed a knife
36:03and stabbed him during the argument.
36:10Joshua survived,
36:11but the injury left him with lasting complications.
36:13His body would never fully recover.
36:16My parents called it a family curse,
36:18and they cut off Yvette completely.
36:20Without money,
36:21Yvette spiraled even further,
36:22and one day,
36:23she simply disappeared.
36:24The shock hit my parents hard.
36:26They had worked all their lives,
36:28only to spend their old age
36:29drowning in worry for their children.
36:32They wanted to visit me,
36:33but I was already a well-known musician
36:35with years of bookings.
36:37They couldn't reach me even if they tried.
36:39As for Joel,
36:40once he realized I would never go back to him,
36:43he fell apart.
36:45He stopped caring about work
36:47and spent his days drinking,
36:49sending me endless messages
36:50trying to win back my love.
36:56But I never read any of them.
36:57I blocked every new number
36:58he texted me from.
36:59After my career took off,
37:01I changed my number for good,
37:03severing the last thread
37:04that tied me to the past.
37:05My music would carry my name
37:06to greater heights
37:07and forge me a brilliant future.
37:09Those people no longer
37:10deserved a place in my thoughts.
37:13Watch me.
37:13Watch me.
