Short filmTranscript
00:00Five years ago, a video of me tangled up with several men in bed went viral online.
00:05Not long after, I broke up with my boyfriend and left the city.
00:10Later, I heard Ethan dated 99 girls who looked just like me.
00:14Everyone said he was still hopelessly in love with me.
00:17Then, five years later, I met his new girlfriend at a mutual friend's wedding.
00:21She looked nothing like me, but none of that matters anymore because I'm getting married next week.
00:27After the wedding reception, a group of friends insisted on heading to a bar for drinks.
00:32I was about to decline when someone pushed Ethan to my side.
00:36Come on, Ethan. Emma flew all the way back. You can't let her leave on an empty stomach.
00:41My best friend Lucy said it with two playful raises of her eyebrows.
00:45Ethan didn't respond. He simply took my suitcase from my hand as naturally.
00:49I checked the time. There was still plenty of time before I was supposed to meet Cole, so I nodded.
00:57I took the front passenger seat. Ethan and his girlfriend, Sienna, slid into the back.
01:02The moment the car pulled away, Sienna spoke.
01:05Ethan, you haven't introduced us yet.
01:08Through the rearview mirror, I could clearly see the challenge and disdain in her eyes.
01:12Ethan's gaze lingered on me for a moment.
01:14Before he could say anything, I spoke first.
01:17Hi, I'm Emma. Ethan and I went to school together.
01:21School friends? Please. Everyone in our circle knows you're his ex-girlfriend.
01:26Don't worry. I'm not the jealous type.
01:29Something like this wouldn't make me jealous.
01:31She wrapped herself around Ethan's arm and deliberately kissed him.
01:35It was a clear declaration of territory.
01:37For the rest of the drive, Sienna never stopped talking.
01:41The quiet and reserved Ethan actually answered every single thing she said without the slightest complaint.
01:46My alcohol tolerance is terrible. If I get drunk, will you take me home?
01:50Of course.
01:51Today's wedding was beautiful.
01:53When we get married, I want roses and colorful balloons everywhere.
01:56Whatever you want.
01:57I rolled the window all the way down and let the wind rush into the car.
02:01I had no interest in listening.
02:0330 minutes later, we finally arrived at the bar.
02:06I had just stepped out of the car and was about to head inside when Sienna bumped into me from
02:11behind.
02:13Emma, don't get any ideas about Ethan.
02:15You need to face the facts.
02:16I don't look anything like you and he is serious about me.
02:27I looked at her without a hint of interest.
02:30If you were really that confident, you wouldn't be saying this to me.
02:33Sienna's face tightened with anger, but she didn't dare make a scene in front of everyone.
02:38Sienna gritted her teeth, hooked her arm through Ethan's, and followed me inside.
02:43You're late.
02:44Three drinks each.
02:46No arguing.
02:49Sienna can't hold her liquor.
02:51I'll drink for her.
02:55Just as I reached for the second glass, Sienna deliberately stepped in front of me, a smug smile on her
03:01face.
03:02How could you all bully poor Emma?
03:04She doesn't even have a boyfriend.
03:08If she gets drunk, who's going to take her home?
03:11I looked her in the eye and couldn't help thinking how utterly tedious she was.
03:15Sienna, thank you for your concern.
03:17But there's one thing.
03:20I'm not single.
03:27So where's your boyfriend tonight?
03:30He'll be here at midnight.
03:34The atmosphere in the room became strange.
03:36Lucy immediately jumped in and waved a deck of cards.
03:40Nobody's leaving sober tonight.
03:42Come on, let's play.
03:45My alcohol tolerance is awful.
03:48Don't worry.
03:48I'll drink for you.
03:50But I don't want you drinking that much.
03:54Emma, you've had so much to drink and your face isn't even red.
03:58Your alcohol tolerance must be amazing.
04:02Would you like to drink for me?
04:08You're really going to let her talk to Emma like that?
04:12You've always been good at drinking.
04:14Want to help me finish Sienna's drinks too?
04:17For a brief moment, I felt my fingers tremble.
04:20When Ethan and I first got together, he wasn't the polished executive he is now.
04:24Back then, we were squeezed into a tiny apartment and barely making ends meet.
04:28We saved money for two years before finally starting a company.
04:32At every business dinner, someone always targeted me.
04:35Emma, finish these drinks and I'll invest in your company.
04:39Every time, before I could reach for the glass, Ethan would cut in.
04:43I'll drink half for her.
04:44But every single time, he secretly poured all of my drinks into his own glass.
04:48On set, Ethan drank so much that he suffered stomach bleeding.
04:52He cried while holding me and said,
04:57Emma, I'll give you a good life.
04:59I won't let anyone force you to drink ever again.
05:02Now, looking at the man standing across from me, I took two steps back.
05:06Ethan, Sienna is your girlfriend, not mine.
05:09After all these years, can you still not protect your own girlfriend?
05:15Emma, I know you're still upset that Ethan dumped you back then.
05:20But that doesn't mean you get to take it out on us.
05:23No one got dumped.
05:25Things were complicated back then.
05:29If you're really that concerned, Sienna, maybe you should talk to Ethan about it in private.
05:35Sienna bit her lip as tears spilled down her face.
05:38But when she turned and saw Ethan only watching her in cold silence,
05:41she unwillingly wiped her tears away.
05:44Fine.
05:45No drinking.
05:46Let's play truth or dare.
05:48I'll be the judge.
05:49No one wanted another argument, and the tension gradually eased.
05:52Sienna grabbed an empty bottle.
05:55Whoever the bottle points to has to tell the truth.
05:57She spun it.
06:00The bottle stopped directly in front of me.
06:02A flash of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.
06:05Emma, did you really come back just for the wedding?
06:08Or was there another reason?
06:14I came back to get married.
06:19Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between Ethan and me.
06:22Sienna shook his arm.
06:25Wow, Emma's getting married.
06:26I guess she can't be our bridesmaid after all.
06:31It's fine.
06:36Even if I weren't getting married, I wouldn't be interested in being anyone's bridesmaid.
06:40Sienna looked disappointed again and picked up the bottle.
06:45Let's keep playing.
06:46Whoever gets picked has to drink.
06:48I had no idea how Sienna managed it, but every single round, the bottle pointed at me.
06:52The long flight had already left me exhausted.
06:55Combined with the alcohol, my head quickly started spinning.
06:58Before I could pick up another glass, Ethan suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand.
07:03That's enough for tonight.
07:05His hand was ice cold.
07:06Touch instantly cleared my head.
07:08Sienna glared at me.
07:09But this round isn't over yet.
07:11If Emma doesn't want to drink anymore, then how about another round of truth or dare?
07:17I checked the time.
07:18There were only 10 minutes left until midnight.
07:21Fine.
07:23A calculating look flashed through Sienna's eyes.
07:26She pulled out her phone, opened a photo, and held it in front of me.
07:32Emma, in that leaked photo scandal of yours, how many men were actually in those photos?
07:40The moment I recognized the photo, my entire body froze.
07:44A dark chapter of my life that I thought had long been buried suddenly appeared before me again.
07:49It happened when Ethan's company and mine were on the verge of going public.
07:53At a dinner party we should never have attended, Ethan stepped outside to answer a phone call.
07:58While he was gone, someone slipped something into my drink.
08:01Emma, to an upcoming IPO.
08:02Cheers.
08:05The moment I realized something was wrong with my body, I panicked and smashed the wine glass in my hand.
08:12The sharp pain of the broken glass cutting into my palm brought me back to my senses for a brief
08:18moment.
08:18I stumbled out of the venue, trying to find Ethan, but he was nowhere to be found.
08:23I had no choice.
08:24Using the broken glass, I repeatedly cut my wrist to force myself to stay conscious while crawling toward the restroom.
08:31Only after hearing the lock click shut did I finally dare to breathe.
08:34When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
08:39By the time I got home, I learned that Ethan had spent the entire night looking for me.
08:44Before the doctored photo was uploaded and spread online, I never even had the chance to tell him what had
08:49happened.
08:50Ethan wrapped me tightly in his arms.
08:52Don't be afraid.
08:53No matter what happens, I won't leave you.
08:57I told him that nothing had happened.
09:04People stepped forward and accused me of sleeping with men in hotel rooms to secure business deals for the company.
09:11Some people I had never met claimed that I had sent them nude photos myself.
09:18The company went bankrupt.
09:20The investors pulled out.
09:21The IPO failed.
09:23I tried everything I could to clear my name, but no one believed me.
09:26People said the scandal was the reason Ethan and I broke up.
09:30But only the two of us knew the truth.
09:32I didn't want to make things even harder for him.
09:34And he couldn't bear to see me humiliated any further.
09:37Five years passed.
09:38People gradually forgot about it.
09:40And now Sienna had dragged it back into the middle of a crowded room.
09:43Ethan's expression instantly turned cold.
09:46He reached for the phone in her hand.
09:48I slapped her first.
09:53I don't know how you got those fake photos.
09:55But deliberately spreading false information is a criminal offense.
10:00There was a time when this incident hurt me so badly that I became depressed and wanted to die.
10:05But the person I am now would never rush to prove something that never happened.
10:09Ethan, it was only a game.
10:12I didn't mean anything by it.
10:15Emma?
10:16Before she could finish speaking, I picked up my suitcase.
10:19I have somewhere to be.
10:21Enjoy yourselves.
10:33Sienna was only joking.
10:35Don't take it too seriously.
10:41You slapped her.
10:43Now you're even.
10:44I almost laughed, standing there.
10:46Looking at him, he felt like a complete stranger.
10:50Ethan, are you still fooling yourself?
10:52Keep your girlfriend in line.
10:54Jealousy drove Sienna wild.
10:56And she lunged at me, ready to slap me.
10:59Before her hand touched my face.
11:01I saw my fiancée walk in.
11:05Sienna froze and immediately pulled her hand back.
11:08Everyone's eyes flicked to Cole.
11:10Lucy stared at Cole's watch for several seconds.
11:16Wait.
11:17Why does that watch look so familiar?
11:21Don't tell me that's the watch that sold for $100 million at last week's auction!
11:25As Sienna registered it, her expression flipped.
11:28She plastered on a fake, flattering smile, and said,
11:31Sir, who were you looking for?
11:38I came here for my fiancée, of course.
11:41The once noisy private room instantly fell silent.
11:44Lucy stared at me in shock, her mouth hanging open.
11:47Wait!
11:48Emma really has a boyfriend?
11:51Wait.
11:52Didn't everyone say she came back because of Ethan?
11:54Because he finally found a girl who doesn't look like her?
11:58I felt Ethan's body stiffen.
11:59He didn't move at all.
12:01His gaze slowly dropped to the hand resting around my waist.
12:05It stayed there for a very long time.
12:07Sienna was the first to recover.
12:09She walked forward and looked Cole up and down.
12:11Then she covered her mouth and laughed.
12:13I can't believe you actually have a boyfriend, Emma.
12:16Why so mysterious?
12:18Why didn't you introduce him to everyone sooner?
12:22Wait.
12:22Don't tell me he's not really your boyfriend.
12:25Did you hire an actor?
12:26Let me guess, that watch is fake too?
12:29Cole was undeniably handsome.
12:30That was simply a fact.
12:32The first time I met him, I couldn't take my eyes off his.
12:35I had never seen anyone so attractive in my life.
12:38So being mistaken for an actor didn't bother me at all.
12:41Instead, I turned and teased him.
12:44See?
12:45You're too handsome.
12:46Now everyone's jealous.
12:54The honor is all mine.
12:58The two of us were completely absorbed in our own conversation.
13:02Neither of us paid any attention to the eyes on us.
13:05Ethan said nothing.
13:06But at some point, he had already taken two steps forward.
13:10He extended a hand toward Cole.
13:12I'm Ethan.
13:12Emma's former classmate.
13:14And you?
13:15Cole.
13:17Emma's fiance.
13:19When they let go, a visible red mark remained on the back of Ethan's hand.
13:24Cole took fitness seriously.
13:26He could lift me with one arm.
13:28I knew exactly how strong he was.
13:31As far as this handshake was concerned, I was almost certain Cole had won.
13:35The word fianc hit Ethan like a hammer.
13:38How long have you been together?
13:39Isn't marriage a little rushed?
13:46I don't think that's any of your business, Ethan.
13:49But since you want to know, I'll tell you.
13:51I've been with Emma for 722 days.
13:56Our wedding is next week.
13:58If you're free, you're welcome to come.
14:00Wow.
14:01Cole.
14:02So you're really marrying Emma.
14:04You must already know about her reputation back home.
14:08Emma, don't disappoint him.
14:10It's not easy to find a man who's willing to marry you despite your past.
14:13She was talking about those photos.
14:15Clearly, the slap earlier hadn't taught her anything.
14:18I was about to speak, but Cole gently took my hand and pulled me behind him.
14:22Emma's past is spotless.
14:25Everyone who slandered and framed her will receive the punishment they deserve.
14:30And you, if you say one more thing against her, you'll end up just like them.
14:40Sienna froze, her expression completely still.
14:43The private room remained silent.
14:45Dim light fell on every face, and everyone stayed perfectly quiet.
14:49After a long moment, she finally let out a faint laugh, forced and reluctant.
14:56I told you he was an actor.
15:00So good at acting.
15:02It really seemed like he was there when everything happened.
15:06Wait.
15:07Or is he actually one of the men in the photos?
15:10Every word she spoke was loaded with provocation.
15:12There it is, the Mounzo Reich.
15:13Each one like a sharp needle hitting the most sensitive spots.
15:17Ethan had finally had enough.
15:19Shut your mouth.
15:21Fine, fine.
15:22I won't say another word.
15:24Otherwise our new eyes Emma would get upset again.
15:27Can we go home?
15:28I'm starving.
15:30I want the cake near your house.
15:32Fine.
15:33Whatever you like.
15:34Let's go.
15:37Before leaving, he looked at me for a long time.
15:40There was something in his gaze that I did not want to think about.
15:43He turned and walked away,
15:45holding her hand.
15:54The party quickly broke up.
15:56No one had the energy to pretend everything was normal.
15:59Guests said their goodbyes in small groups.
16:01Voices tinged with awkwardness.
16:02Before leaving, Lucy squeezed my hand without saying a word.
16:06I understood perfectly what that meant.
16:09Back at Cole's place, the apartment was quiet.
16:12I went to wash up.
16:15When I came out, I saw him standing by the window.
16:18He hadn't turned on the lights, simply staring blankly at the night outside.
16:22Moonlight from outside lit the side of his face, calm and still.
16:26I walked over, hearing the sound, he turned and hugged me from behind.
16:30He rested his chin on my shoulder and held me tightly.
16:34We stood silently for a while.
16:36Then he spoke softly.
16:39Do you still like him?
16:40I felt his body tremble slightly.
16:43I placed my hand over his, feeling the tension in his knuckles slowly relax.
16:50When I first met Cole, I had fled overseas because of those rumors.
16:54Back then, I wandered through life in a haze, feeling abandoned by the world.
16:59I had given most of my savings to support Ethan's startup.
17:02The money I had left barely covered two months of rent.
17:05That night, I was evicted because I couldn't pay.
17:08The cold wind outside made me feel dizzy.
17:10By the time I reached the shore, I still hadn't processed what had happened.
17:13I heard someone shout from behind.
17:16Stop!
17:21Are you crazy?
17:22Whatever it is, your life is worth more than throwing it away.
17:25He had thought I was trying to commit suicide.
17:28I panicked and explained myself for a long time before he reluctantly believed me.
17:32In the end, he even arranged a place for me to stay and helped me find a job.
17:36If the previous scandal back home had cost me half my life, Cole had saved me anew.
17:42Later, I asked him.
17:45Why did you help me?
17:50If I said I had been helplessly in love with you from the very first moment I saw you, would
17:53you believe me?
17:55During the time we were together, Cole always accompanied me on trips.
17:58Encouraged me to try new things I had never done before.
18:01It was not until the third year that he knelt before me, holding flowers.
18:05Emma, will you be my girlfriend?
18:07From the moment I took the flowers, or from the moment he held me on the shore, I was no
18:13longer the old Emma.
18:15Returning to the present, I wrapped my arms around Cole's neck and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
18:26You are my present, and you will be my future.
18:29You are the only one I care about.
18:32Emma.
18:32I love you, Cole.
18:34Only you.
18:38The next morning, I woke up to find Cole sitting in front of his computer, with a dark expression.
18:43The pressure around him was so intense that it was almost tangible.
18:47In all the time we had been together, this was the first time I had seen genuine anger radiating from
18:53him.
18:53He was focused on reading something so carefully, that he didn't even notice me walking up behind him.
18:58I wrapped my arms around him from behind and rested my head lightly on his shoulder.
19:02Morning.
19:03Did something happen?
19:04The moment he heard my voice, the anger around him gradually faded.
19:08Nothing.
19:08As he spoke, he moved to close the computer, but I had already caught a glimpse of the screen.
19:13Beneath the infuriating headline was a photo from the night before.
19:17It showed Ethan grabbing my hand.
19:19The angle was carefully chosen.
19:22Ethan wasn't visible in the picture, but I was perfectly clear, seeing my eyes linger on the screen.
19:27Cole stood up and pulled me into his arms.
19:34Don't be afraid.
19:35I'll take care of everything.
19:41I knew he was worried that I would end up trapped in another public scandal like before,
19:45and destroy myself all over again.
19:47Back then, it was the first time I had ever gone through something like that.
19:52Bought my company and my personal life had been turned upside down.
19:55My emotions had spiraled out of control, but now, this all seemed childish to me.
20:01Smiling, I pressed a kiss to his lips.
20:13As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything.
20:16You know me, Cole.
20:18I've never been the type to hide anymore.
20:27I patted Cole's hand to reassure him before sitting down at the computer.
20:31Almost every comment was attacking me.
20:42Reading those completely fabricated accusations, I found them laughable.
20:47Without hesitation, I left a comment of my own.
20:52The moment I posted it, my comment section exploded.
21:05Cole looked at me nervously.
21:07Emi, go get some rest.
21:08I'll handle all of this.
21:10Of course I believed he could, but this time, I didn't want to run anymore.
21:14Some battles had to be fought personally.
21:16I smiled at him.
21:17Cole, trust me.
21:19I've got this.
21:23After saying that, I called Lucy.
21:29Hello, Emma?
21:31It's so early.
21:32Lucy, I need a favor.
21:34Get me all the surveillance footage from the private room last night.
21:39What happened?
21:40I need it.
21:41Hearing that, she didn't ask any more questions.
21:44Not long after I hung up, the footage arrived.
21:48After blurring all of my friends' faces, I uploaded every second of it online without cutting anything out.
21:56Sienna, your video angle really wasn't very good.
21:59Look, this angle is much clearer.
22:01Don't I look prettier like this?
22:03Thanks to the video Sienna had posted earlier, my upload shot straight onto the trending list within minutes.
22:08The people who had been pointing fingers at me earlier suddenly started believing I can't be different comments.
22:14Holy crap, what a plot twist.
22:16She doesn't look like a mistress at all.
22:18Sienna is the one acting like a psycho.
22:20While the comments section was exploding, Ethan called.
22:26Emma, was all this online drama you're doing?
22:32Emily.
22:33The very first words from Ethan were accusatory.
22:36Anion hearing them might have thought I had done something unforgivable.
22:40I let out a cold laugh in my mind.
22:42Ethan, why don't you first watch Sienna's video, see how she's falsely accusing me before you question me.
22:48Two seconds of silence followed.
22:50Then he hung up.
22:51I had expected him to call back soon, maybe to defend Sienna, or to tell me it was all a
22:56misunderstanding.
22:57After all, when Sienna had shown those photos earlier, Ethan had said it was just a joke.
23:03But what followed, was beyond my expectations.
23:06Instead of more confrontation, I received a photo.
23:09Sienna was crying and yelling.
23:11Next to her stood indifferent police officers.
23:14A message from Ethan followed.
23:17I had heard Ethan apologize countless times before.
23:21Sorry for making me drink.
23:23Sorry for not giving me the life I wanted.
23:25Sorry for leaving even when he didn't want to.
23:28But this time, it truly caught me off guard.
23:37I've already ensured Sienna received the punishment she deserved.
23:41You, the rest of the message didn't come until much later.
23:45It wasn't until the evening, as I was almost asleep in Cole's arms, that he sent the follow-up.
23:56My body froze.
23:57I had imagined this conversation countless times.
24:00During those early days abroad, I often wondered what I would do if Ethan called.
24:05What if he came to bring me home?
24:07What if he held me, and told me everything had passed?
24:10What if he said that all we needed was to trust each other completely, but I never got the chance?
24:15During those five years overseas, all I ever heard from friends was...
24:24Every time I saw such messages, a little piece of my heart died.
24:28If he really loved me, why didn't he come for me?
24:32If he really loved me, why would there be a substitute?
24:36Perhaps our separation had always been inevitable.
24:39Not because of reality, not because of the rumors.
24:42But because he never trusted me enough, and he never loved me enough.
24:45Ethan always said he believed in me, but after the photo scandal, he never slept beside me again.
24:52Even when I broke down emotionally, he would just soothe me to sleep and quietly leave.
24:57I glanced at Cole, still sleeping peacefully beside me.
25:01Without hesitation, I replied.
25:05I grasped Cole's hand tightly, and sent a photo along with the message.
25:12I already have a fiancé.
25:16He is the only light in my dark world.
25:18I will never betray him.
25:21Ethan never responded again.
25:32Recently, Cole had been busy preparing for our wedding.
25:35So busy that he hardly had a moment to breathe.
25:38I had suggested, we simply register the marriage.
25:41After all, we would eventually move overseas.
25:44Maybe we should simply register the marriage.
25:44But he refused firmly.
25:47I still have something to do.
25:50Besides, my parents want to see you in a white wedding dress, marrying the one you love.
25:56My parents had passed away when I was 16.
25:59That's why Cole insisted on having our wedding back in my hometown.
26:02He said that only then would my parents rest in peace.
26:05What I didn't know was what the other.
26:08Thing to do, he mentioned actually was.
26:10That very afternoon, social media erupted with a headline.
26:21It turned out that Cole had spent the past several days not preparing for the wedding.
26:26He had been investigating the scandal from five years ago that had ruined my life.
26:31Everything that had happened back then had been maliciously fabricated by our competitors.
26:36Watching those guilty parties confess on screen.
26:39I couldn't help but shed tears.
26:40I had always thought that with time I had healed.
26:44But the truth was, the thorn had always remained in me.
26:48Only now, after everything was finally resolved, did that thorn finally ease.
26:53When Cole returned, my eyes were still swollen from crying.
26:57The moment I saw him, I fell into his arms.
27:04How can you be so good to me?
27:08So good that I can't bear to leave you.
27:11Even for a second.
27:13He kissed away my tears over and over.
27:19I only fear that I still haven't treated you well enough.
27:22No sooner had Cole calmed me than Ethan called.
27:25His voice was a little choked.
27:42What happened back then was difficult for both of us.
27:46I don't blame you.
27:49I never blamed Ethan.
27:51I simply stopped loving him.
27:57Goodbye, Ethan.
27:58Don't ever call me again.
28:00After saying that, I hung up the phone decisively.
28:03Cole squinted at me from the side, watching me.
28:06I pinched his nose playfully.
28:11What?
28:12Are you jealous?
28:14He didn't respond.
28:17You really are jealous?
28:24I'm definitely going to put all your jealous photos on display at the wedding.
28:30I'm not jealous.
28:33I'm just envious.
28:35Envious that he got to know you for so many years.
28:38That he was part of so much of your past.
28:41While I knew none of it.
28:42Cole was like a stubborn little child.
28:45I mimicked him and lightly tapped his nose.
28:48It's fine.
28:51You will have my future.
28:55Every single day of it.
28:58Unable to hold back, Cole gently pressed me onto the bed.
29:02A deep, lingering kiss swallowed all my words.
29:05The atmosphere immediately became warm and intimate.
29:13At our wedding with Cole, almost all our close friends were present.
29:17Every own tacitly avoided mentioning Ethan.
29:20One of my friends handed me the wedding gift.
29:25Seeing you happy is enough for me.
29:28You deserve all the best.
29:31Receiving my friends' blessings was exactly what I wanted the most.
29:35For everything.
29:36I held Cole's hand, walking step by step toward the altar.
29:39This was not only the place where we would exchange vows.
29:43It was also the starting point of our future together.
29:46He knelt before me, on one knee.
29:52Emma, will you marry me?
29:54Tears filled my eyes as I nodded.
29:57From the moment I met Cole, it was my rebirth.
30:04After the ceremony, I received a bank transfer.
30:07The amount was huge.
30:09There was only a single message attached.
30:11Emma, this is what I owe you.
30:13It was from Ethan.
30:14In fact, I had seen him at the wedding, in the corner.
30:17But neither of us spoke.
30:19We had once loved each other.
30:20But it wasn't as deep as we thought.
30:23That was why we had missed each other.
30:24Looking back now, I realized neither of us had done anything truly wrong.
30:28At his most important moment, I hadn't been able to support him, and had even dragged him down.
30:35At my most fragile, when I needed him most, he hadn't been there.
30:39So I did not blame him.
30:40He didn't owe me anything.
30:42We both knew however, that from that day forward, we would never see each other again.
