Short filmTranscript
00:00Stop it. Evelyn will find out.
00:02Then what are you afraid of?
00:03Am I better or is your Evelyn better?
00:05Don't mention the rigid one. You're the exciting one.
00:10Turn it off! Turn it off now!
00:11How disgusting! That beast in human skin!
00:17It is.
00:18This is St. Matthew Private Hospital.
00:20Mr. Adrian has been in an accident and is currently in emergency treatment.
00:26The patient is temporarily out of danger.
00:29However, the situation is rather complex.
00:32The patient experienced a scipciation in the underground garage.
00:36Specifically, the patient used some accessories and an accident occurred during the process, causing airway destruction.
00:42The trachea has been cleared, but the patient needs to be kept for observation.
00:48Evelyn.
00:50It's not what you think.
00:52Shut up.
00:54Just an ordinary friend.
01:00The arranged marriage, I agree.
01:03In three days, I'll marry.
01:11Evelyn, let me explain.
01:13Go ahead.
01:15It's all my fault.
01:18Evelyn, I was drunk that day.
01:20I was the one.
01:21Enough.
01:29Evelyn.
01:30How have you been thinking about the arranged marriage?
01:36I agree.
01:37Evelyn?
01:38Evelyn!
01:40You're finally willing to come home.
01:42Evelyn!
01:42You're daddy's princess.
01:44No one is worth your tears.
01:45You're trading your daughter like a commodity.
01:47You've degraded yourself for a poor boy.
01:54Into Adrian's tiny 60-square-meter apartment, squeezed onto a queen-size bed with him, eating discounted frozen food from
02:01the supermarket.
02:01At that time, she believed that for love, everything was worthwhile.
02:06Evelyn and Adrian had been together for seven years.
02:09The entire New York upper class knew to what extent Adrian Cole had pampered his fiancée.
02:13She didn't like the noisy nightclub environment.
02:15This once most sociable man turned down all his friends' party invitations, just because she had frowned once.
02:21In Wall Street's world of pleasure and temptation, Adrian Cole was practically an anomaly.
02:26No arm caddy models, no clubbing, and he even refused all the business entertainment arranged by partners.
02:32Everyone envied Evelyn.
02:33Every time, Evelyn just smiled faintly.
02:35Because at that time, she truly believed it.
02:38Adrian, what do you actually like about Evelyn?
02:40Honestly, she's pretty, but what kind of woman don't you have around you?
02:42She's different from other women.
02:44She's too pure.
02:45But no one knew.
02:47The only truly pure one was Evelyn.
02:49No one in New York's upper class dared to mention Adrian's brother's death in public.
02:54Not because of grief.
02:55Once called the son of Wall Street, a financial genius who managed billion-dollar funds at 26.
02:59The most proud eldest son of the entire Cole family.
03:02His photo had graced the cover of the Wall Street Journal.
03:05His name appeared on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, and wherever he went, he was the focus of camera flashes.
03:09Then he died in a private yacht accident.
03:11The official explanation was, an accident caused by adverse weather.
03:15But everyone in the circle knew that the weather that day was impossibly fine.
03:18Not a cloud in the sky, the sea calm as a mirror.
03:20The so-called adverse weather was merely a dignified cover story.
03:23The real reason, alcohol, drugs, and describe-a-party participants on the yacht,
03:26was suppressed by the Cole family at great expense.
03:28When Aaron died, Vanessa was on the yacht.
03:30She was the only one who wasn't drunk.
03:32And the only family member allowed at the scene.
03:34And Vanessa was the widow Aaron left behind.
03:37Vanessa had been living in the Cole family estate, that century-old mansion on Long Island.
03:41Adrian took on all the responsibilities that should have been his brother's.
03:43Taking care of her, protecting her, managing her finances, supporting her at social events,
03:50even stepping up immediately when she had disputes with Aaron's former friends.
03:54The outside world praised him for his loyalty.
03:56Adrian is truly a good brother.
03:57After Aaron passed, it was Adrian who held the family together.
04:00He's so good to his sister-in-law.
04:01Whoever marries him in the future will surely be happy.
04:03Only Evelyn knew.
04:04The way Vanessa looked at Adrian was never innocent.
04:06The first time she noticed something was wrong was last Christmas.
04:10On Christmas Eve, the Cole estate was lavishly decorated.
04:15Evelyn had spent the entire afternoon helping the housekeeper prepare Christmas dinner.
04:19But just as they were having dinner, Vanessa came down the stairs, wearing an Adrian white shirt.
04:25Sorry.
04:26It was too cold last night.
04:28I just grabbed one.
04:30Didn't have time to change.
04:32Go change your clothes.
04:34Prepare a coat for Mrs. Vanessa.
04:36Yes, sir.
04:37Don't overthink it.
04:38That's just her easygoing personality.
04:40Evelyn looked at his smile.
04:42That smile was sincere, open, flawless.
04:45But now, standing in the hospital corridor, looking at those shocking red marks on Vanessa's neck,
04:50Evelyn finally understood.
04:53All the flirtation had actually been foreshadowed long ago.
04:57She had just chosen to be blind.
04:59Those work meetings that ran late into the night, those suddenly canceled dates,
05:03those my phone-dyed excuses, unfamiliar perfume clinging to his shirt,
05:06she hadn't missed them.
05:07She had simply refused to see them.
05:08Evelyn returned to the Sinclair estate.
05:1512 Ionic columns, bronze eagle lampulse.
05:18Founded 1872, five generations, empire spanning the globe.
05:22Evelyn was the sole heir.
05:23For the past seven years, she had concealed her surname for Adrian's sake.
05:26In front of Adrian, she was just an ordinary girl from a decent family.
05:29Parents with businesses in New York, an Ivy League education, but nothing special.
05:32She never mentioned the estate, never mentioned the trust fund, never mentioned those headache
05:35and lasting asset exclication reports from the family office.
05:38She lived with him in the 60-square-meter apartment, ate discounted frozen pizza from
05:41the supermarket with him, squeezed onto rush-out subways to Wall Street with him, from a tiny
05:44startup all the way to the day of the IPO bell staking.
05:46On the day of the bell staking, Adrian's trembled with excitement on the phone.
05:49Evelyn's, we did it!
05:51I'm so proud of you.
05:52What she didn't say was, Adrian's company secured its first crucial round of funding
05:56because Sinkley's capital management division had quietly pushed it through.
05:59His products made it Evelyn of the single medical group had put in a word.
06:01No one knew.
06:02His path to IPO was so smooth because the Sinkley family's network on Wall Street had
06:05quietly cleared every obstacle for him.
06:07She was afraid of hurting his pride.
06:21You've lost weight.
06:23So much weight.
06:25Didn't he take good care of you?
06:26I'm fine.
06:31Are you leaving again after this return?
06:33Not anymore.
06:40Julian has been waiting for you.
06:43Julian Hart, heir to the Hart Medical Group, New York's youngest neurosurgery prodigy, dual
06:47doctor degrees at 32, seven papers in the lesson, 98.6% surgical success, legendary in
06:52medicine, in social circles always pre-feased with that boy who's been following Evelyn since
06:56childhood.
06:57He was her childhood sweetheart.
06:58Their two estates were separated only by a private driveway.
07:01They met at three.
07:02She was squatting in the garden, feeding an injured squirrel.
07:04For the next decade and more, he quietly stood behind her.
07:06She learned piano.
07:06He read beside her.
07:07She went to boarding school.
07:08He followed to the same one.
07:09Every birthday, he sent her a white rose.
07:11Evelyn's eyes were full of Adrian.
07:13She never looked back.
07:14Julian never complained.
07:16He just waited.
07:17Waited for her to turn around or for her to be happy.
07:21But she neither turned around nor found happiness.
07:24Until now.
07:33Dr. Hart, the patient is in position.
07:36Vital times are stable.
07:48A 2.3 centimeter mentoneoma, less than four millimeters from the language center.
07:53Too much by one millimeter.
07:54She'd never speak again.
07:56Start the clock.
07:58Four hours later.
07:59The most dangerous phase.
08:01Tumor dissection.
08:02Less than half a millimeter.
08:0415 seconds to cut.
08:06Three-tenths of a millimeter of precision.
08:08One wrong move.
08:09She'd never speak again.
08:11The final suture.
08:13Seven hours and 25 minutes.
08:17Vital signs stable.
08:19Language function to be assessed post-op.
08:21Seven hours.
08:22He finally replied,
08:24I'll be there.
08:24That evening, Julian appeared at the estate.
08:41Did he hurt you?
08:46It doesn't matter anymore.
08:53If you're willing,
08:55the wedding can begin at any time.
09:00Yes.
09:03I won't ask you why.
09:07But I want you to know something.
09:09I'm not waiting for a position to open up.
09:12You don't need to marry me to prove anything.
09:14Not to Adrian,
09:15not to your father,
09:16not to yourself.
09:17If you wake up tomorrow and change your mind,
09:19nothing changes.
09:20I'll still be here,
09:22just like the past dozen years.
09:25I'm not saying yes to escape him.
09:28It's because...
09:29I'm tired.
09:31I want to be somewhere
09:32I don't have to make myself smaller.
09:35Then it's perfect.
09:37I don't need you to be smaller here.
09:38Julian, stay for dinner.
09:43After leaving the hospital,
09:44he went straight to the apartment.
09:51She had packed her things
09:52and left quietly.
09:58The number you have dialed
09:59is temporarily unisable.
10:09Do you really love her?
10:12Of course.
10:15What about me?
10:23Mr. Aiden,
10:24something terrible has happened.
10:25The Sinclair financial financial
10:26building its investment.
10:27What did you say?
10:28But now we're the Sinclair family
10:29with the Hart family.
10:49My God.
10:51She's the Sinclair heir?
10:53I thought she was just
10:54Adrian's ordinary girlfriend.
10:55Adrian never made this public.
10:57Is he insane?
10:58Does he even know
10:59what he missed?
11:01Whispers rose and fell
11:02like the buzzing
11:03of a swarm of bees.
11:04Just then,
11:05the doors opened again.
11:09The man's breath stopped.
11:10He spotted Evelyn at once.
11:12Evelyn was more radiant
11:12than ever before.
11:14Evelyn, let's talk.
11:17Who is he?
11:19Her future husband.
11:21Are you joking?
11:22I'm not joking.
11:23The wedding is set
11:24for next week.
11:25You're willing to gamble
11:26even just to spite me?
11:27Adrian, not everyone
11:28is as filthy as you.
11:33The GALA officially began.
11:35His presentation was ready.
11:36He knew the importance
11:37of this ch.
11:38If he could win over
11:39those key figures
11:40in the audience,
11:41the company's valuation
11:42would at least double next year.
11:48The host's voice rang out.
11:50Next, let us welcome
11:51the CEO of Coltech,
11:53Mr. Adrian Cole,
11:54to the stage.
12:01Good evening, everyone.
12:02First, I'd like to thank
12:03the organizers
12:04for the invitation.
12:05And now,
12:06here is the detailed report
12:06on this project.
12:07Please look at the screen.
12:11Then,
12:11the entire banquet hall
12:13erupted in screams.
12:14What appeared on the screen
12:16was not the meticulously
12:17designed presentation,
12:18came through clearly
12:19from the top-tier sound system.
12:21Stop it.
12:22Evelyn will find out.
12:23Then what are you afraid of?
12:24Am I better
12:25or is your Evelyn better?
12:26Don't mention that
12:27frigid woman.
12:28You're the exciting one.
12:29The scene switched.
12:30In the office,
12:31Vanessa in a secretary outfit
12:33kneeling before Adrian's desk
12:35on the yacht's deck.
12:36The images grew
12:37increasingly indecent.
12:41In every day,
12:42Evelyn cooked for him.
12:43In every late night,
12:44she stayed up
12:45organizing his contracts.
12:46She knelt in the rain,
12:47begging for investment
12:48on his behalf.
12:49He had been rolling
12:50in the sheets
12:51with another woman.
12:52The venue
12:52was strictly expanded.
12:53The media cameras went wild.
12:55Guests were in uproar.
12:56Some knocked over wine glasses.
12:58Oh my God.
12:58He's actually sleeping
12:59with his own brother's widow?
13:00I'm out of discord this.
13:01This is you.
13:03I better or lose your Evelyn.
13:04Turn it off now.
13:05The crowd's murmuring
13:06instantly reached the boiling point.
13:08Female guests stormed out.
13:12It wasn't until
13:13the organizer's staff
13:14finally rushed up
13:15and cut the power,
13:16but it was all too late.
13:17The hashtag Colatex candle
13:19surged to the number one
13:21trending topic in America
13:22on Twitter,
13:23Instagram,
13:24and TikTok
13:24within 15 minutes.
13:26Evelyn stood alone
13:27in the stairwell,
13:28waiting for Julian.
13:35You followed me here.
13:37I need to talk to you.
13:40There's nothing to talk about.
13:41Yes, there is.
13:42You owe me an explanation?
13:44Since when are you
13:45a Sinclair?
13:46Seven years.
13:47You lied to me
13:48for seven years?
13:50I lied to you
13:50for seven years.
13:51You lied to me
13:52for three.
13:53By my count,
13:53you still owe me four.
13:56I'm not here to fight.
13:59Evelyn, come back.
14:00I know I was wrong.
14:01I'll change everything.
14:01I'll drop the project.
14:02I'll end things with Vanessa.
14:03Whatever you want.
14:03Just come back.
14:05Three years ago,
14:06also in a stairwell.
14:07It was two in the morning.
14:08She had waited
14:09four hours in the cold.
14:10Working late.
14:11Where were you?
14:11What perfume is that?
14:13A colleague brushed
14:14against me by accident.
14:15Three years later,
14:16same man,
14:17same lies,
14:18tangled with the same pleas.
14:20Adrian,
14:21do you know why
14:21I never talked
14:21about my family?
14:23Because I knew
14:24if one day you found out
14:25I'm a Sinclair,
14:25you'd become a different person.
14:27Not because you love me,
14:28because you love Sinclair.
14:30I don't need someone
14:31who loves me
14:31because of my last name.
14:33So I chose to stay silent
14:34for seven years.
14:36I wanted to see
14:36if you could love
14:37an ordinary Evelyn.
14:39Turns out you love neither.
14:40You love yourself.
14:44Let go.
14:44Give me five minutes.
14:46You don't even deserve
14:47five seconds.
14:51Adrian chased out
14:52like a madman.
14:55Listen to me!
14:56Explain how you slept
14:57with your brother's widow
14:58behind my back?
14:58Or explain how you told me
15:00you loved me
15:00while sleeping with her
15:01for three years?
15:01But the one I love
15:02has always been you!
15:04Love?
15:04Your love is too disgusting.
15:12For the first time,
15:13he felt that something
15:14was completely lost
15:16and could never be found again.
15:18After the video incident,
15:19Coltec's stock price
15:20plummeted 37% overnight.
15:27The board held an emergency meeting.
15:30With all directors
15:31unanimously voting
15:32to demand Adrian resign as CEO,
15:34partners pulled their investments.
15:36Suppliers began demanding repayment.
15:38Employees resigned en masse.
15:41The entire New York High Society
15:42was watching the spectacle,
15:44and Adrian completely lost control.
15:46He began searching frantically
15:47for Evelyn.
15:48Went to her favorite
15:49French restaurant.
15:50Went to Central Park.
15:52Went to the seaside.
15:54He even staked out
15:55the Sinclair Estate
15:56in the middle of the night.
15:57He knew she was inside,
15:58but he couldn't get in.
16:01Sorry Mr. Cole,
16:02you're not on today's visitor list.
16:04Evelyn didn't see him even once.
16:07One week later,
16:09the Hart Estate,
16:09the entire New York elite gathered.
16:12Julian stood at the end
16:13of the altar,
16:14waiting for the person
16:15he had waited
16:15over a decade for.
16:16And Evelyn,
16:18she walked toward Julian.
16:21Everyone marveled.
16:22This was truly a love
16:23between equals.
16:24But just as the efficient
16:25was about to pronounce the vows,
16:29the chapel doors
16:30were violently pushed open.
16:31Adrian burst in.
16:33Don't get married!
16:34The venue instantly erupted
16:36into commotion.
16:37Evelyn,
16:38his voice was harsey
16:39and desperate.
16:40I know I was wrong.
16:41Give me one more chance!
16:42But Julian stood between them,
16:43like a wall
16:44that would never fall.
16:46Don't you love me anymore?
16:51I once loved you very much.
16:53But you destroyed that love
16:55with your own hands.
16:56Now,
16:57I don't want you anymore.
17:00Let's continue.
17:01Yes.
17:04And Adrian stood outside the crowd,
17:06like someone completely
17:07abandoned by the world.
17:08After the wedding,
17:08the first snow of the season
17:09fell over New York.
17:11Julian held her hand.
17:12He didn't say a word.
17:13He knew that some wounds
17:14couldn't be healed
17:14by a single wedding.
17:15After returning to the estate,
17:17Evelyn stood alone
17:18on the terrace.
17:22It's cold.
17:24Julian.
17:25Hmm?
17:26Do you think I was foolish?
17:28Why do you ask?
17:30Seven years.
17:31I nearly lost everything for him.
17:34Julian was silent
17:35because he knew better than anyone
17:36how deeply Evelyn
17:37had once loved Adrian.
17:38That year,
17:39Adrian's company
17:40had a cash flow breakdown.
17:41He hadn't slept
17:42for three consecutive days,
17:43sat drunk on the edge
17:44of the fooftop,
17:45saying he couldn't
17:46hold on anymore.
17:47Evelyn went home
17:48that very night.
17:49It was the first time
17:50she had set foot
17:51in the estate
17:51after a year of silent treatment
17:53with her father.
17:54She knelt outside the studio
17:55for a full six hours,
17:57from midnight until dawn.
17:59Finally,
17:59she collapsed right there
18:00in the corridor.
18:01When she woke,
18:02she was lying
18:03in her old bedroom.
18:04Her mother sat by the bed
18:05with red eyes.
18:06Her father stood at the doorway,
18:08his back to her,
18:09shoulders trembling slightly.
18:11Was the funding approved?
18:13The Sinclair Financial Group
18:15secretly invested
18:16$300 million.
18:18Adrian survived
18:19the most dangerous period.
18:21But he never knew,
18:22because Evelyn
18:23wouldn't allow anyone
18:24to tell him.
18:25She was afraid
18:25of hurting his pride.
18:26Thinking of this,
18:28Julian's eyes
18:28darkened gradually.
18:30He suddenly felt
18:31a hatred for Adrian.
18:32Not because of jealousy,
18:34but because that man
18:35had once possessed
18:36such a woman,
18:37yet didn't know
18:37how to cherish her.
18:38I used to think
18:39that if I loved
18:40someone enough,
18:41he would never leave.
18:42Later,
18:43I realized that human nature
18:44cannot withstand the test.
18:46Julian suddenly reached out
18:48and gently embraced
18:49her from behind.
18:51It won't be like that anymore.
18:53You don't have to
18:54please anyone anymore.
18:56In that moment,
18:57Evelyn's yenching
18:58few answer turns home.
19:00Doe from grievance.
19:01Doe from nostalgia.
19:02Doe for the first time,
19:03she understood.
19:04But who'd really love you,
19:05Dorin,
19:06will never make you feel small.
19:08Meanwhile,
19:09Vanessa was smoking
19:10in a hotel suite.
19:11On the television,
19:13the news of Evelyn's wedding
19:15played on a loop.
19:16Why should she?
19:17She murmured to herself.
19:18Why is she always
19:19so high above everyone?
19:21The question she had carried
19:22since childhood.
19:23No one knew.
19:26Vanessa had lived
19:27next to the Sinclair estate
19:28as a child.
19:29Her mother was a servant
19:31at the estate.
19:32She woke at five
19:33every morning
19:33and didn't finish
19:34until ten at night.
19:36Her monthly salary
19:37barely enough
19:37to feed mother and daughter.
19:39From the moment she was born,
19:40she was a princess
19:41held in everyone's hands.
19:42When Vanessa was five,
19:44through the gaps
19:44in the estate's iron gates,
19:46she saw Evelyn
19:46sitting on a garden swing.
19:48In that moment,
19:49Vanessa looked down
19:50at her own dress,
19:51mended three times,
19:52and something quietly
19:53cracked inside her.
19:54They learned piano together,
19:55the same teacher,
19:56the same instrument.
19:57Please,
19:58it's truly worthy
19:58of being a Sinclair child.
20:00And the teacher
20:00always only praised Evelyn.
20:02Vanessa sat right beside her,
20:03and the teacher
20:04never even glanced her way.
20:07Vanessa fought her way
20:08into the Cole family.
20:10She used every means
20:11at her disposal,
20:12beauty,
20:13cunning,
20:13perfectly timed
20:14Aaron Cole's interest.
20:16Wearing an expensive
20:17wedding dress,
20:18standing in the church,
20:18she finally called
20:19she had finally won.
20:20But Aaron never loved her.
20:22That man had
20:22countless women outside,
20:24spending less than
20:25a hundred days a year
20:25at home combined.
20:26Vanessa lived
20:27in extreme repression
20:28after marriage,
20:29guarding in M. Defty gowns,
20:30drinking red wine alone,
20:32on every lonely night.
20:33Until after Aaron's death,
20:35Adrian began
20:36taking care of her.
20:37She discovered
20:38that even the man
20:39Elilin possessed
20:40could lose control for her.
20:42That feeling of seizure.
20:44It became addicted.
20:45So after that,
20:46she deliberately tested
20:47the waters,
20:48again and again,
20:49wearing Adrian's shirt,
20:50knocking on his door
20:51in the middle of the night,
20:52step by step,
20:53finally fell.
20:54Vanessa looked down
20:55at the remaining red liquid
20:56in her glass
20:57and suddenly laughed coldly.
20:58Too bad,
20:59in the end,
20:59she's still the one who won.
21:01Three days after the wedding.
21:05This is the Sinclair Financial Group's
21:07investment records
21:08from back then.
21:09Mr. Adrian,
21:10I think you should see this.
21:11He frowned and took the file.
21:13He turned to the first page.
21:15He froze completely.
21:18Adrian's hands began to tremble.
21:20Actually,
21:20when your company
21:21was about to go bankrupt,
21:22it was Miss Evelyn
21:23who saved you.
21:24To persuade the Sinclair
21:25Board of Directors,
21:26knelt outside the estate
21:27all night.
21:28His mind
21:28went instantly blank.
21:30He finally remembered.
21:31During that time,
21:32Evelyn had indeed been ill
21:33for a long line.
21:34She said it was a cold,
21:35running a high fever for days,
21:36so weak she could barely walk.
21:38He was busy saving the company,
21:39brief of hot water
21:40and left it again.
21:41She never told him the reason,
21:42because she had always
21:43protected his part.
21:45And him?
21:45What had he done her?
21:46At the time she trusted him most,
21:48he was entangled
21:49with another woman
21:50for three years.
21:51Took her seven years of love
21:53for granted.
21:54The outside world
21:55always thought Julian was gentle.
21:57Only Evelyn knew.
21:59This man's possessiveness,
22:01deep in his bones.
22:03Mrs. Hart,
22:03you're even more beautiful
22:05than in the news.
22:06A young millionaire approached.
22:14Excuse me,
22:15my wife doesn't like strangers
22:17getting too close.
22:19She suddenly thought of Adrian.
22:21Don't overthink.
22:22That man who never admitted
22:23his jealousy.
22:25Only using cold silence
22:26and the silent treatment.
22:29But Julian was different.
22:32And laughed.
22:34Mm-hmm.
22:35He admitted it.
22:35Because you're too charming.
22:36Openly,
22:37without concealment.
22:38Truly mature love,
22:39but about devotion.
22:41Five years later,
22:43Evelyn brought her children
22:44for a routine checkup.
22:45She heard arguing from a corner
22:47and followed the sound.
22:48If it weren't for you,
22:49how would I have gotten this disease?
22:51You blame me?
22:52You couldn't control yourself
22:53and now you're putting it on me?
22:55That woman caught a venereal disease
22:57and passed it to the man.
22:59Serves them right.
23:00I heard they used to be quite wealthy.
23:03Now they can't even borrow
23:04enough for treatment.
23:06He raised his head
23:06and saw her.
23:07She was still beautiful.
23:09Julian stood beside her,
23:10one hand holding their son,
23:11the other cradling their daughter,
23:12like the happiest family.
23:16He began to suffer
23:17from insomnia every night.
23:19In his run-down rental apartment,
23:20her old photos remained.
23:22What do you regret most in your life?
23:22He would watch her interview videos
23:24over and over and over again.
23:27Do you regret it?
23:28He was silent for a very long time.
23:32The biggest regret of my life
23:34is losing Evelyn.
23:35Sadly,
23:36once a rising star of Wall Street,
23:38in the end,
23:38he died without a sound.
23:39When Evelyn learned the news,
23:40she was painting with her children.
23:42He chose not to tell her.
23:44Not yet.
23:45Small sun
23:45drew blue hand rays beside it.
23:50Evelyn.
23:50He told her.
23:51I won't go.
23:53It's all over.
23:57Outside the window,
23:58the light was beautiful.
24:00Today
24:00is another brand new day.
24:07Your dress is dirty.
24:09They were three when they met.
24:14When they were 10,
24:15she left for Switzerland.
24:17He waited at the window
24:18every morning for three years.
24:20At 13,
24:21she came back,
24:22down the driveway
24:23with a white rose.
24:24Julian,
24:24you've grown so much.
24:27He smiled,
24:28the same smile
24:29as when she was three.
24:30At 15,
24:32they were at the same boarding school.
24:33He always walked
24:34three steps behind her.
24:36Close enough
24:37if she turned around
24:38far enough
24:39not to disturb her
24:40if she didn't.
24:44What are you doing?
24:46It's your birthday.
24:47I'm making blueberry pancakes.
24:5015 years of white roses.
24:52This pancake is the best thing
24:53I've ever had.
24:54He saw her with Adrian
24:55for the first time
24:56at 24.
24:58She stood beside another man,
25:00her weight tilted
25:01five degrees toward him.
25:03The three-step distance
25:04he'd kept for a decade
25:05became zero.
25:07For someone else.
25:09The rare winter sunlight
25:11spilled softly
25:12across New York.
25:13Evelyn sat on the carpet
25:15inside Julian's study,
25:16helping him organize
25:17old documents.
25:19After marriage,
25:20she gradually realized
25:20something about Juliet.
25:21he had a slight obsession
25:23with order.
25:23Medical journals
25:24had to be sorted by year.
25:26Pens had to face
25:27the same direction.
25:28Even the colors of file balls
25:30had to match perfectly.
25:31So disciplined,
25:32almost severe
25:33in his self-control,
25:34he indulged
25:34every little flaw she had.
25:36Thinking of this,
25:37Evelyn couldn't help
25:37smiling faintly.
25:39Then suddenly,
25:39her eyes landed
25:41on a locked black box.
25:42Evelyn paused,
25:43because Julian rarely
25:45hid anything from her.
25:46After hesitating
25:47for a moment,
25:48she reached down
25:49and picked it up.
25:49At the very top
25:50lay an old photograph,
25:52slightly yellowed with age.
25:54It was 15-year-old Evelyn,
25:55standing beside
25:56a grand piano,
25:57her head lowered slightly
25:58as warm light
25:59brushed across
26:00her delicate profile.
26:01Slowly,
26:01she turned it over,
26:02and on the back,
26:03in calm,
26:04restricted handwriting,
26:05was a single sentence.
26:062009,
26:07her first public piano performance.
26:09And gradually realized,
26:10everything inside
26:11was related to her.
26:12Her high school
26:12interview clippings,
26:14photos from
26:14university debate competitions,
26:16a Christmas card
26:16she had casually
26:17to Julian years ago,
26:18even an old movie ticket
26:19she had accidentally
26:20left behind.
26:21These were things
26:21even she herself
26:22had forgotten.
26:23Yet Julian had kept
26:24all of them
26:25for over 10 years.
26:26At that moment,
26:27the study door
26:28suddenly opened.
26:29Julian was back.
26:31Silence filled the room.
26:32Evelyn slowly
26:33looked up at him.
26:36Julian,
26:37why did you keep
26:39all these?
26:41Because I couldn't
26:42bear to throw them away.
26:44But,
26:45these were all
26:46from so many years ago.
26:47But to me,
26:49I never forgot
26:50a single day.
26:52Rain poured heavily
26:53over New York
26:54at one in the morning.
26:55Evelyn sat on the floor
26:56of her apartment living room.
26:58The room around her
26:58was a mess.
26:59Financing documents
27:00scattered everywhere.
27:01Coffee gone completely cold
27:03and her trembling hands
27:05after too many
27:05sleepless nights.
27:07Adrian hadn't come home
27:08for three days.
27:10Coal Tech
27:10had recently fallen
27:12into financial trouble
27:13and the entire company
27:14was on the verge
27:15of collapse.
27:16Evelyn had practically
27:17handled all the
27:18investor negotiations
27:20alone.
27:32Hello?
27:34Did you eat dinner?
27:36I did.
27:38Evelyn,
27:39when you lie
27:40you bite your lip
27:40unconsciously.
27:41The room instantly
27:42became quiet.
27:43Evelyn froze.
27:44Because even Adrian
27:46didn't know
27:46that habit of hers.
27:49Miss Sinclair,
27:50this is dinner
27:50ordered for you
27:51by Mr. Julian Hart.
27:52Inside the insulated bag
27:54were all her favorite dishes.
27:56Warm milk,
27:57creamy mushroom soup,
27:58and pumpkin porridge
27:59she only ate
28:00whenever her stomach hurt.
28:01Evelyn froze at the
28:02Demment for
28:03of a very long time,
28:04only to suddenly notice
28:05a familiar black Benti
28:07parked across the street below.
28:08Rain crashed heavily
28:09against the city.
28:10The windows were dark,
28:12yet Evelyn recognized
28:13the car instantly.
28:14It belonged to Julian.
28:15The next day,
28:17Evelyn finally went
28:17to the hospital
28:18to see him.
28:19Julian had just
28:20finished surgery,
28:21still dressed in his
28:22white coat,
28:23but the moment he looked
28:24up and saw her,
28:25his cold expression
28:26sopened almost instantly.
28:28What brings you here?
28:29Last night,
28:30were you downstairs
28:31all night?
28:33It hasn't been safe lately.
28:34You're living alone.
28:35I was worried.
28:36After that night,
28:37Evelyn couldn't stop
28:38thinking about Julian.
28:39She remembered him
28:40fixing her windblown hair
28:41in the hospital
28:42and how he softly
28:43said he was worried
28:44about her.
28:45She always thought
28:46he was gentle to everyone,
28:47but she was wrong.
28:48He was cold
28:49to everyone else.
28:50Only to her,
28:51he was different.
28:53One afternoon,
28:54she went to deliver documents.
28:57Have you been in love
28:58with Miss Evelyn
28:58for many years?
29:00Is it that obvious?
29:02Then why have you
29:03never told her?
29:06Because she used
29:06to love someone else.
29:08I couldn't bear
29:09to make things difficult
29:10for her.
29:21What's wrong?
29:25Julian,
29:27all these years,
29:29were you very lonely?
29:31It was the third month
29:32after their marriage.
29:33Evelyn came to the Hart
29:34estate for the first time.
29:36After dinner,
29:38Julian was called
29:38to the study
29:39by the elders.
29:40Evelyn stayed alone
29:41in the lounge.
29:43Master Julian
29:44finally got to marry you.
29:47Waited for me?
29:52Waited for me?
29:57What do you mean?
29:58You really didn't know?
30:03Master Julian
30:04wasn't like this before.
30:05He was cold and quiet
30:07when he was young.
30:08The entire Hart family
30:09believed he would simply
30:10marry according to
30:11family arrangements.
30:13Until later,
30:14you appeared.
30:16The first day he met you
30:18after returning home,
30:19he sat alone in the garden
30:20the entire night.
30:21No one knew
30:21what had happened.
30:22But after that,
30:22he began remembering
30:23things he never cared
30:24about before.
30:25Your birthday,
30:26your piano performances,
30:27the flowers you liked,
30:28even a dessert shop
30:29you mentioned only once.
30:30There was a period
30:30when he often stayed out
30:31the entire night.
30:32He had simply gotten used
30:33to driving near your university.
30:34Sometimes he would
30:35stay there for hours.
30:36Why?
30:38Why did he never
30:39tell me any of this?
30:41Because Master Julian
30:43couldn't bear to.
30:45He couldn't bear
30:46to make you feel pressured.
30:52What's wrong?
30:57Don't wait for me
30:58alone anymore.
31:02Six months after marriage,
31:04Evelyn realized something.
31:05She hadn't had stomach pain
31:07for a long time.
31:08She used to skip meals,
31:10live on coffee,
31:10and stay up late.
31:12Now she eats on time.
31:14Warm water always waits
31:15by her bed.
31:16Even her office coffee
31:17was quietly replaced
31:18with decaf.
31:19She never thought about
31:20who did all these.
31:21One afternoon,
31:22she came home early.
31:24She saw Julian
31:25quietly reading a cookbook.
31:26She froze.
31:27He never looked
31:28like a kitchen person.
31:30You came home early today.
31:34If your stomach worsens,
31:35it'll get serious later.
31:40Evelyn's eyes stung.
31:41No one cared like this before.
31:43Not even herself.
31:45That night,
31:45she realized what true love is.
31:48It's not loud.
31:49It's in everyday details.
31:51Remembering every small habit
31:52she ignored.
31:54Julian never said,
31:55I love you.
31:56He hides love quietly
31:58in daily life.
31:59Quietly,
32:00slowly,
32:01patiently,
32:02tenderly.
32:03Love is in the unspoken care.
32:05Always quiet.
32:06Always there.
