Transcript
00:06The Trust Fund heirs of Wall Street booked the entire base camp of Mount Denali, just to watch
00:11me finish my 10,000th penance step in the snow. Three years ago, during a massive avalanche,
00:16Killian Vance believes that I cut the safety rope, causing his first love to lose the use
00:21of her legs forever. Just one last kneeling bow, take off your parka for Serena to rest
00:25her feet on, then kneel down and lick the melted snow off her boots. Do that, and your
00:29atonements is complete. The wealthy elites surrounding us burst into roaring laughter.
00:34I bet 10 million dollars this simp will definitely strip down to her underwear just for one word
00:39of forgiveness from Killian. Did you hear them? Take it off. This is the 99th time you've begged
00:48me to get back together. Today, I'll be merciful and finally give you a title. Everyone in the
00:53camp thought I would wag my tail and beg for mercy, exactly like I used to. Instead, I took
00:58his black diamond rosary and threw it straight off the snowy cliff. Killian, I don't seek
01:03your forgiveness anymore. My brother, who contracted a lethal infection from repeatedly selling
01:08his blood plasma to pay your compensation, died last night. I have absolutely no reason
01:13left to live. Oh, changing your strategy this time? Stopped kneeling and started throwing things
01:19instead? The crowd erupted into laughter again. Killian, I'm raising my bet by 5 million. I bet
01:25she crawls back on her knees within 10 minutes. You gave her that rosary yourself. She's definitely
01:29going to regret throwing it. I'll add another 5 million in the end, but after all, this is her
01:3299th time begging. The sound of bets echoed through the camp. I stood silently at the edge of
01:37the cliff, my knees covered entirely in thick, dark blood scabs. For three years, I had crawled
01:43through the freezing snow of Mount Denali, completing exactly 9,999 pennant steps.
01:50Vivian, don't be stubborn. The wind is so strong. If you actually freeze to death here,
01:55it would really ruin Killian's mood. After all, you haven't finished paying for your sins yet.
01:59Killian lifted his chin toward his assistant. A cup of steaming hot apple cider was handed to me.
02:05Your hands are frostbreeding and cracking. Drink this first. Atonement is one thing,
02:10but I never actually intended to force you to your death. My knees buckled slightly,
02:15but I didn't reach for the cup. The freezing wind whipped ice particles viciously against my face.
02:20My pants, soaked completely through with my own blood, had long since frozen stiff.
02:24Vivian, finish the last bow, and this will all be over. I will take you back to New York and
02:30give
02:30you a title. No need. The braided red string woven by my younger brother snapped. Killian
02:38carefully tucked the blanket around Serena. Are you cold, Serena? Should we head back to the tent
02:42first? I'm not cold. I'm just worried about Vivian. Her brother is still waiting for her at the bottom
02:48of the mountain. Don't be too hard on her. I clenched the fabric of my pockets tightly. He died last
02:54night. The laughter from the elite crowd stopped for a brief second. Here we go again. Last time
03:00she claimed her foster mother was dying. Before that, she said her orphanage was out of food.
03:03This time she even made up her brother's death. Killian, her acting skills are really getting
03:07better. Don't joke about your family's life. This isn't like you. I reached into my inner pocket and
03:13handed him a crumpled piece of paper. The corner of the official death certificate was already softened
03:18by the melting snow. Killian only glanced at it for a second before throwing it back at my chest with
03:23a
03:23mocking sneer. Vivian, your lying kills really are improving. Is this just because Serena's legs hurt
03:29yesterday and to make her feel better what purpose he withheld that payment from you? It's only been
03:32one day. I don't believe he's dead. I looked at him, my throat feeling as though it were stuffed with
03:38a wad of bloody cotton. Yes, it was only one day. But on that single day, Artie was bleeding
03:43uncontrollably, curling up in agony on the hospital bed, without even the strength to cry out in pain.
03:48To gather enough money for his medical bills, I threw away all my pride, crying and
03:53begging on my knees throughout the entire hospital. But tragically, Artie saw it. The younger brother
03:58who had always treated me as his entire world, who couldn't bear to see me lower my head, couldn't
04:04stomach the sight of his sister begging on the floor. While the nurses were changing his bandages,
04:08he dragged his blood-soaked body and jumped off the hospital roof. Now, Killian was looking at me
04:14like he was giving charity. All right, your punishment is officially over. Once we get down this mountain,
04:19I will arrange for your brother to be sent to Europe for the best medical treatment.
04:24I suddenly laughed. No need. There's no point anymore.
04:29Vivian, stop throwing a tantrum. It's freezing on the mountain, and Serena didn't bring enough
04:35clothes. Take off your parka and put it under Serena's feet.
04:41I looked down at the parka I was wearing. It was a birthday gift Artie had bought after saving up
04:46for
04:46three months. He told me the wind on the mountain was brutal, and wearing this would keep his sister
04:51warm. But now, he was gone. Rather than letting it get dirty with me here, I might as well use
04:56it to
04:57buy an ending. Here we go! I'm raising my bet, me too. My brother bought this, don't dirty it.
05:04Very few people knew that when Serena first entered this elite circle, I was the one who introduced her
05:09to Killian's world. When others mocked her humble background, I stood in front of her time and time
05:14again to protect her. Eventually, she became the precious darling everyone held in the palm of their
05:19hands. And I became the sinner she claimed had ruined her legs. As I took a step back, a small
05:24receipt fell out of the parka's pocket. It landed on the snow, flipping over to reveal the handwritten
05:29words. I bent down to pick it up. Suddenly, Serena pulled her feet back as if she were terrified by
05:35my
05:35sudden movement. Killian instinctively shielded her, forcefully grabbing my wrist.
05:39Vivian, what are you trying to do? You already ruined Serena once. Are you trying to hurt her again
05:44right in front of me? Let go. I just want to pick up the very last thing my brother left
05:50for me.
05:52Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed from the entrance. A camp manager ran over carrying a
05:57tattered, worn-out canvas bag. Excuse me, which one of you is Vivian? The funeral home at the bottom
06:03of the mountain asked me to deliver this. They said it's the deceased's belongings. Killian stepped
06:08forward and snatched the frayed rope from the torn canvas bag. The rope was incredibly old, and the
06:14core was stained with an unwashable dark red. Three years ago, during the massive avalanche on the
06:19north peak of Mount Denali, Killian, Serena, and I were violently swept down the icy ridge. When we
06:25finally woke up, Serena's legs were permanently paralyzed. Everyone in their elite circle claimed
06:30that I had selfishly cut the safety rope just to save my own life. Vivian, why do you still have
06:35that?
06:35A wealthy heir slapped his thigh. I knew it! Only a guilty person would keep the evidence of their crime.
06:43I ignored their harsh laughter, staring dead at that rope. When I was unconscious in the hospital,
06:48it was Artie who claimed all my belongings from the rescue station. Everyone was eager to condemn me,
06:53only Artie refused to believe it. He kept this frayed knot, hoping one day it could clear my name.
06:59Give it back to me, that is what Artie left behind. Didn't you say you already investigated
07:03everything three years ago? Just because it's investigated doesn't mean you have the right
07:06to touch it. The very hand that had twirled the diamond rosary and offered me hot cider was now
07:11tightly gripping my dead brother's only belonging. I reached out to snatch it back. Killian took a
07:16half step back and quickly pinned down my frostbitten wrist. His grip wasn't heavy. Stop throwing a
07:21tantrum. Your wounds will tear. That was left for me by my brother. Killian let go and tucked the rope
07:29deeply into the inner pocket of his expensive coat. I am keeping it to make you recognize your
07:34past mistakes, not to let you continue making excuses. My hand dropped slowly to my side.
07:38My frozen joints were too stiff to bend. During the avalanche, Serena's left leg was violently
07:43tangled by the backup rope, bleeding profusely. That backup rope was the one I cut. But when she woke up,
07:50she cried and blamed me for everything. Serena would never lie using her own legs.
07:55The freezing wind blew the campfire ashes onto my arms. The parka I took off was still under Serena's
08:01feet. Killian, Vivian's hands are freezing. Have someone get her a coat. The assistant brought a
08:07down jacket, but I refused. I walked back to the parcel and crouched down to examine my brother's
08:12belongings. There were a few pieces of old clothing, a pair of worn out sneakers, and a notebook labeled
08:18ledger. There was also a photograph. Artie was standing outside a plasma donation center giving
08:24a thumbs up. He was shockingly thin, his cheeks sunken, but his bright smile remained exactly the
08:29same. I pressed the photo tightly against my chest, my nails digging into my palms. I cannot cry.
08:35My tears would only become their bedding chips. I tied the canvas bag tightly, hugged it to my chest,
08:41and slowly stood up. Vivian, Serena suddenly called out to me. She looked down at her paralyzed legs
08:47and suddenly smiled. Vivian, do you know what I have hated the most over these past three years?
08:52I hate that even though you turned me into a cripple, you can still use your perfectly fine
08:58legs to walk right up to Killian. So, today, I want you to get down on your knees and crawl
09:05right to
09:06my feet. Three years ago, you owed me a pair of working legs. Today, you must use your ultimate
09:12dignity to pay me back. Killian stood right behind her wheelchair. He didn't say a single word of
09:19objection. The glacier trail was covered in a thin layer of black ice, crunching loudly under my
09:25weight. I pushed Serena's wheelchair along the gravel path. With every bend of my knees, my old
09:29scabs tore open, oozing fresh blood. The wounds I had suffered from three years of penance steps
09:34repeatedly split, healed, and split again. The skin there had completely lost its elasticity.
09:39Killian followed two steps behind us. He had someone bring me a pair of knee pads.
09:44Don't be stubborn. Kilden is too soft. I would have made her crawl. Punishment isn't about torture.
09:50It's to make her remember her mistakes. Remember her mistakes? I had listened to that sentence for
09:55three years. The freezing wind grew stronger at the bend. That parka of yours? The fabric is quite thick.
10:02How many times did your brother have to sell his blood pladsum to afford it? Is it even enough to
10:06buy
10:07one of my shoes? My footsteps faltered. It wasn't out of anger. My frostbitten fingers were spasming
10:14so violently that I couldn't grip the wheelchair handles. Killian quickly stepped up. Why did you
10:18stop? It's my fault. I just wanted to comfort Vivian, but I said the wrong thing and made her angry.
10:24Vivian apologized to Serena. What if I refuse? Then I will have to reconsider the winter coal supplies
10:30for your old foster home. The winter temperatures on the mountain dropped to minus 30 degrees.
10:3527 orphans lived there. Killian controlled all the resources related to my life under the guise of
10:40my atonement. I lowered my head in defeat. I'm sorry. Vivian, your voice is too quiet. The wind is
10:47too loud. I didn't hear you. I am sorry. Serena smiled in ultimate satisfaction as if she had finally
10:54waited long enough to see me break. I pushed the wheelchair forward. Killian. I called out. Have you
11:02ever truly listened to any of my apologies over these years? The wind howled. He didn't answer.
11:07Forget it. It doesn't matter. I whispered, continuing to push the wheelchair back to the camp. Killian stood
11:13at the tent entrance, his tone still condescending. Stop throwing tantrums. As long as you behave, I won't
11:19pursue this anymore. I will arrange the best doctors for your brother in Europe. You don't have to worry
11:23about the medical fees. The freezing snow blew into my throat, tasting like blood. He spoke so easily.
11:30He didn't know that Artie didn't need doctors anymore. Serena pulled his sleeve and they went
11:34inside. I stood in the snow as my phone vibrated in my pocket. It was the funeral home at the
11:39bottom
11:39of the mountain. This Vivian, please arrive on time to collect your brother Artie's ashes. He specifically
11:47requested that his ashes be handed directly to you. He said, he still owed you a trip home.
11:53I gripped the phone, looking into the blizzard. Artie, wait for me. Sister is coming to get you.
12:02The tent area was heavily guarded.
12:04Killian security. I bypassed them and ran down the mountain. The wounds on my knees burst
12:09open against the rocks, blood soaking my pants. But I didn't stop. The funeral home was lit
12:13by pale, eerie lights. Silas, the search and rescue medic, was waiting for me at the door.
12:19Drink something hot first. I already collected the ashes for you.
12:27He pulled out a small wooden box from the counter. It was incredibly light and completely
12:31unpainted. He came to ask about the prices himself. He said his sister was in too much debt. So he
12:36chose
12:36the absolute cheapest one. He didn't want to cause you any trouble. I took the wooden box.
12:40Right before Artie died, he kept shouting.
12:43Shouting what?
12:45Sister is not a sinner.
12:47I closed my eyes tightly, biting my lip to hold back the tears.
12:51At dawn, I returned to the base camp holding the wooden urn. Killian was standing by the campfire,
12:56his eyes locking onto the wooden box in my arms.
13:00Look, Killian. She's wearing another man's coat and carrying a prop back. This drama looks familiar.
13:06So you didn't stop begging, you just found a new man to beg. What is that?
13:14My brother.
13:17Killian scoffed, clearly not believing me.
13:20Vivian, please don't do this. Using a fake urn to curse your brother is terrible.
13:25She even prepared a fake urn prop. I'm betting another 10 million on this act.
13:32I pulled the wooden box tighter against my chest.
13:34Let me see it.
13:35I took a step back.
13:36Vivian, how long are you going to keep up this tantrum? Using a fake urn, what have you turned into?
13:41Vivian, don't be like this. Killian is just worried.
13:44The heavy wheels of Serena's wheelchair rolled violently over my bleeding. Killian instantly reached
13:49out to steady Serena. I instinctively let go to brace my fall, but the wooden box slipped from my
13:54grasp. The gray ashes spilled entirely into the freezing snow. I collapsed on my knees,
13:59frantically scooping up the ashes mixed with the snow.
14:03The more I tried to scoop, the more the wind blew it away. Killian's watch suddenly snapped.
14:08The watch rolled directly into the mixture of snow.
14:11I bent down, desperately putting the snow and the ashes back into the broken wooden box.
14:16I couldn't tell which was the white snow, and which was Artie.
14:20Sitting comfortably in her wheelchair, Serena looked down at the gray dust that had splashed
14:25onto her boots.
14:26Didn't you say these were your brother's ashes?
14:30Well, I guess he just bowed to the mountain for you.
14:33I stopped, holding a handful of snow mixed with ashes.
14:37Is this also part of the sins I must atone for?
14:39Killian's face went pale.
14:41Before he could speak, Serena grabbed his wrist, her voice trembling.
14:45Killian, my leg hurts so much. I'm scared Vivian hates me.
14:51Killian immediately looked down at her.
14:53Just that single glance, I understood everything.
14:56I put the snow and ashes back into the broken wooden box and stood up.
14:59Artie, sister is taking you away.
15:01I didn't mean to drop the ashes.
15:03Vivian is looking at me like that. I'm so scared.
15:06Killian instinctively blocked my path.
15:08Vivian, apologize to Serena right now, and I will immediately ampie for your brother to go to Ojo.
15:13Didn't you always want to marry me?
15:15Then we get down this mountain, we will get married.
15:17The position of Vance will only ever be yours.
15:19Three years ago, I waited for those words until I nearly went mad.
15:22But now, Artie was scattered in the snow.
15:24Killian, it's too late.
15:27He finally realized something was terribly wrong.
15:30Vivian, where are you going?
15:31I didn't look back, walking to the cliff edge of Denali's snow mountain.
15:35Artie, sister is taking you home.
15:38In the next second, holding the broken urn tightly against my chest, I jumped.
15:42Vivian!
15:43He threw himself to the edge of the cliff, his knees smashing into the deep snow.
15:47His outstretched hand desperately reached for me, catching nothing but empty wind.
15:51Just then, the voice of a native Alaskan guide echoed from behind the tents.
15:55She never owed you anything.
15:57Mr. Vance, three years ago, the one who dragged your unconscious body out of that snow pit was her.
16:02And as for why Miss Serena's legs went necruppery.
16:05All the color drained from Serena's face, inch by inch.
16:08When I finally woke up, the roar of a jeep's engine filled my ears.
16:12The wooden box was still in my arms.
16:13The crack was deeper now, wrapped tightly in layers of white medical gauze, like bandaging a corpse.
16:19You're lucky.
16:19Below was a thick snow slope, not a sheer drop.
16:21I was on patrol and saw you roll down.
16:25I looked down at the wooden box in my arms.
16:28I could never put Artie back together completely.
16:30In the rearview mirror, Killian was stumbling down the snowy slope, chasing the jeep like a madman while his bodyguards
16:36desperately dragged him back.
16:37He was tightly clutching that old, frayed rope.
16:43Your knees need severe treatment.
16:47We'll handle it at the station.
16:51That night, I developed a severe fever.
16:53After it broke the next morning, dozens of large boxes appeared outside the rescue station.
16:57They were filled with expensive Gore-Tex winter parkas of every color and size.
17:01Killian stood freezing on the gravel road.
17:03His coat buttoned all the way up.
17:04His jaw clenched tight.
17:06Seeing me wearing Silas's oversized jacket.
17:08That one is dirty.
17:10Change into a new one.
17:12No need.
17:13I know when I'm cold.
17:14For three years, I always knew.
17:17Silas walked out holding the cheap red parka Artie had bought me.
17:20It was washed.
17:23Lend me a needle and thread.
17:25I told Silas.
17:26Help me stitch this tear here.
17:28Vivian, I just want you to feel a little better.
17:30This jacket isn't warm just because it's expensive.
17:33Killian opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word.
17:37Killian left.
17:39Before leaving, he searched frantically in the snow for hours the lost broken watch, but
17:43he couldn't find it.
17:44The shattered watch had already permanently mixed into Artie's ashes.
17:48On the third day, I opened Artie's waterproof ledger.
17:51The first page read,
17:52Sister doesn't owe them.
17:54I owe my sister.
17:55I turned the pages.
17:57Every single entry was a terrifying expense.
17:59The arena's luxury rehab fees, $65,000.
18:03Killian's mandated nursing care subsidy, paid for 36 months.
18:07Winter coal for the foster home, $3,500.
18:10Next to every expense was a date.
18:12The dates he sold his blood plasma.
18:14Some were less than two weeks apart, 400 cubic centimeters, 450 cubic centimeters.
18:20Legal donation centers would never allow someone to draw blood that frequently.
18:24Artie had gone to the black market.
18:26Every time he called me after draining his blood, his voice was so weak.
18:30I asked him what was wrong, and he just said it was low blood sugar.
18:34The handwriting on the last page was barely legible.
18:37If I die one day, sister won't have to lower her head to Killian ever again.
