00:00After the hundredth time my besties hot brother used my body as pre-match warm-up,
00:04I walked out of this relationship and announced to everyone,
00:07I am getting married.
00:09To his mortal enemy, my best friend's brother is the most famous soccer star in the country.
00:15His name stays in the tabloids every other week,
00:17and yet, he is still the most eligible bachelor alive.
00:2125 years old, drop-dead gorgeous, filthy rich,
00:25nobody knows that I, a completely ordinary sports channel journalist,
00:30have been in a secret relationship with him for five years.
00:33Five years.
00:34He played the field, he liked to roam.
00:37And I, I slowly, quietly reshaped myself into exactly what he wanted.
00:48Silas, slow down.
00:51Already tapping out, babe.
00:52My legs went weak.
00:54I just closed my eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.
00:57Five years of indulging his nonsense.
01:00I proposed to him three times.
01:02He turned me down.
01:04All three times.
01:05After my best friend, Maya, got married.
01:07Her family started setting her brother up on blind dates.
01:10I looked at Silas one evening and said it plainly.
01:13Silas, my family's given me an ultimatum.
01:15I have to get married this year.
01:16He paused, then pressed a soft kiss to my ear.
01:19Just wait a little longer.
01:21Then came Memorial Day weekend.
01:22Maya grabbed my arm.
01:24Yuna, you won't believe it.
01:26My cold-hearted brother is actually planning to propose.
01:29He even bought the ring.
01:32Really?
01:33You know about it?
01:34My heart slammed against my ribs.
01:37Hope, real, terrifying hope, started to bloom in my chest.
01:41Wait, you know too?
01:44Yeah.
01:46Oh, I guess that makes sense.
01:49She's on his team, some junior assistant.
01:52Didn't she go to your university?
01:53I went still.
01:54The bloom in my chest turned to ash.
01:57I swallowed it down.
01:58My head lowered, pretending to scroll through my phone.
02:01A call from home shattered the silence.
02:06Yuna, when are you meeting the man we arranged?
02:09We're running out of patience.
02:11The man was Hudson Cole, the most respected soccer coach in the country.
02:15But also Silas' mortal anemone, who's issued Silas multiple red cards and publicly sneered
02:21that a playboy will never wear the World Player of the Year crown.
02:24Hudson is a family friend.
02:26I only pretend not to know him for Silas' sake.
02:29But now...
02:32Don't worry, I will go.
02:34What a coincidence.
02:36I'm also getting married over Memorial Day weekend.
02:39Beach ceremony.
02:40Will you be my maid of honor?
02:42What?
02:44Are you serious?
02:45I've been trying to set you up for years and you turned down every single one and now
02:48you're just getting married out of nowhere?
02:51My family arranged it.
02:53I can't keep waiting.
02:56Fair enough.
02:58Grandma's losing more memories every day.
03:00She's been holding on just to see you walk down the aisle.
03:03I looked down.
03:04The grandma who raised me had dementia.
03:08Her one remaining wish in her clearer moments was to see me get married.
03:12Silas knew.
03:13He'd always known.
03:14And he still just said wait a little longer.
03:17Five years of a secret relationship I couldn't even mention.
03:22enough of that.
03:23Show me a photo of this guy.
03:24I forced a small smile and reached for my phone.
03:28And a hand shot out from behind me, snatching it clean away.
03:32Yuna's got a boyfriend?
03:33Let me see.
03:33But I could see exactly what he was doing.
03:36He was deleting the few photos we had together.
03:38He was worried I might show Maya our photos.
03:42You little brat!
03:43Give that back!
03:44I'm just looking out for Yuna.
03:47She's basically a little bunny.
03:49Too easy to take advantage of.
03:51My face burned hot, little bunny.
03:53That was what he called me in bed.
03:55He used to tease me.
03:56You are in your thirties and you've still got no bite.
03:59You just lie there being adorable.
04:03Yuna, your eyes are red.
04:06I'm fine.
04:07Just tired.
04:08I'm heading home.
04:08I walked away fast.
04:10Go apologize.
04:11I'll settle the check and meet you outside.
04:16Silas caught up with me in the parking garage.
04:23You're upset?
04:24I just wasn't expecting you to suddenly want to go public.
04:27He was too close.
04:28Close enough to see the smear of lipstick on his collar.
04:31Not mine.
04:32I shoved him off.
04:34Hard.
04:35Weren't you going to drive us home?
04:37Get in the car.
04:38Silas actually looked startled.
04:40Five years.
04:41In five years, I had never spoken to him in that tone.
04:46I have a plan, okay?
04:47I was going to tell my family eventually.
04:49Why are you so desperate to rush this?
04:50I turned to look at my own reflection in the window.
04:53The fine lines at the corners of my eyes.
04:57I'm getting married.
05:01Silas went rigid.
05:02A second later, his phone rang.
05:04He picked up a soft, sweet voice came through the speaker.
05:07Nina, the junior assistant on his team.
05:10Hello?
05:11Silas, there's an issue with tomorrow's training schedule.
05:14Don't worry.
05:14I'm on my way.
05:15He hung up, pressed his forehead to mine.
05:17Almost like he'd misunderstood the whole thing.
05:20I'm still young.
05:21Career has to come first right now.
05:23The marriage thing, just wait a little more, okay?
05:27Team emergency.
05:29Go home with my sister.
05:29He circled around to the driver's seat, left nothing but exhaust in his wake.
05:34It was like the last time he'd said he wanted to see the ocean.
05:38I researched every coastal spot, found the best viewpoint.
05:42He said he wanted seafood.
05:44I compared a dozen restaurants, made the reservation, at the airport.
05:48One second, he had his arms around me.
05:50His phone rang.
05:52Team crisis.
05:53He walked away without looking back.
05:55I waited for him for a whole week.
06:00Yuna, where'd he go?
06:01Team thing.
06:03Had to leave.
06:04It's Nina again, isn't it?
06:06I don't get it.
06:07Aside from being young and pretty, what does she even have?
06:09Young, pretty.
06:10Young, pretty.
06:10I let those words sit on my tongue.
06:12They tasted like ash.
06:14Last month, he'd grabbed my waist in bed and said,
06:16Babe, you really should start working out more.
06:20Maya grabbed my arm and flagged down a cab.
06:22You don't even know.
06:23Nina was handling the team's travel arrangements last month,
06:26and she just added herself to the itinerary and Silas went along with it.
06:30He spent a whole week with her at the beach.
06:33I added her on social media.
06:35Silas tried to play it off, said she went to the same university as you,
06:38so he couldn't exactly kick her out.
06:40Look, here's, look, here's her post right here.
06:43The date, the exact week I was waiting alone.
06:46Every location in the photos, I recognized them.
06:49They were all from the travel guide I had put together and sent him.
06:52Our fifth anniversary as a secret couple was the first day of their public romance.
06:57I dropped Maya off at her place, said goodbye like everything was fine.
07:00Bye, Maya.
07:01But the moment the door closed, I gave the driver Silas' club address.
07:06Take me to Silas' club, please.
07:07I'd been to that building many times, but they only ever knew me as Maya's best friend.
07:12Nobody knew what happened in that office, the couch, the desk by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
07:17Five years of things that only I knew.
07:19The office door was slightly open.
07:21I was about to push it when I heard voices.
07:23Let's go somewhere for Memorial Day weekend.
07:25I froze with my hand in the air.
07:27Just us.
07:28Then Silas' voice.
07:30Actually, there's something I need to tell you.
07:33My chest seized.
07:35I shoved the door open.
07:42What a coincidence.
07:44My wedding is also on the Memorial Day weekend.
07:48Oh, you're getting married over the holiday, Yuna?
07:50Then Silas definitely has to be there.
07:52He's basically your family.
07:53We can reschedule our trip.
07:55The second she was gone, the warmth drained from Silas' face.
08:00How did you end up here?
08:02Are you really that desperate to force my hand?
08:04Desperate force.
08:05I felt the air go out of me.
08:08Fine.
08:09Go home.
08:10Outside, Nina and a few co-workers were watching through the glass.
08:14I had come here to officially break up with him, but I suddenly realized there was nothing
08:18left to say.
08:19You can only break up if you were together.
08:22And clearly, in his mind, we never were.
08:25He snatched the invitation out of my fingers, said a quick goodbye to the group, and shoved
08:30me into his car.
08:32The invitation got crumpled in his fist.
08:34He tossed it under the seat.
08:37Silenced the whole drive home.
08:41He hauled me upstairs, pushed me down onto the couch.
08:47Yonah, enough.
08:49Why can't you give me a little more time?
08:51Do you have to humiliate me in front of everyone?
08:53Suddenly, the air felt thin.
08:55Five years underground.
08:56I told myself it was because of Maya, because his career was just getting started.
09:01But it was never that.
09:03He hid me because I was something to be ashamed of.
09:05I shoved him away, stumbled to the bathroom, threw up.
09:11We both need to calm down.
09:16The door slammed.
09:17His footsteps faded.
09:27A long time passed.
09:29I pulled myself up off the floor, went to the back of the closet, and dug out a tin box.
09:35Five years of a secret relationship.
09:37Movi ticket stuffs.
09:38Photos from a theme park.
09:40A little craft project we made together.
09:42All of it buried in the back of the closet for five years.
09:45By the time dawn came, the tin box was in the trash.
09:49I took one last look at the apartment.
09:52He bought this place right after he made it big.
09:55Babe, we finally have a home.
09:57He'd laughed like a little kid when he showed me.
09:59That night, Maya told me Silas had gone off the grid, wasn't answering anyone.
10:05Not even his parents.
10:06I didn't care anymore.
10:08The invitations went out.
10:10The date crept closer.
10:11The night before the wedding, I posted on social media for the first time.
10:16Just a quiet announcement.
10:18Tomorrow, I am getting married.
10:20The likes and congratulations flooded in instantly.
10:23Hundreds of them.
10:24So this is what it feels like.
10:25A relationship that gets to exist in the light.
10:28Then my phone rang.
10:30Silas.
10:32Simus?
10:34Oh, Yuna?
10:36Simus is busy right now.
10:38We're all out together.
10:39Do you want to come?
10:40No, it's okay.
10:43I was about to hang up when a burst of laughter erupted from the other end.
10:49Truth or dare!
10:51Truth or dare!
10:52He'd had a lot to drink.
10:54Silas.
10:55Most regrettable thing you've ever done.
10:57No lying.
10:58Biggest regret.
11:00Acting on impulse and chasing an older woman.
11:03Knowing I couldn't give her what she wanted.
11:05Laughter rippled through the ring.
11:08Silas has layers.
11:10We see you.
11:11Older women always want commitment.
11:13But who doesn't want to end up with someone young and beautiful?
11:18Okay, okay.
11:19Next question.
11:20Most reckless thing you've done lately?
11:23A beat, then Silas' voice again.
11:28I'm about to propose.
11:31He's finally settling down!
11:33It's Nina, right?
11:34It has to be Nina!
11:36I hung up.
11:42Blocked his number.
11:47Silas woke up to his phone buzzing.
11:50He squinted at the screen.
11:51A call log.
11:53Yuna's number.
11:53He had no memory of dialing it.
11:56He frowned, then opened her social media.
11:59Over a hundred likes.
12:01Dozens of congratulations.
12:03The family group chat had exploded too.
12:06He set the phone down.
12:07Picked it back up.
12:08Maya had posted a video.
12:10A wedding venue by the beach.
12:11We're here.
12:12Yuna looks stunning today.
12:14Silas, you left yet?
12:15Don't be late.
12:16He stared at the location pin.
12:18His pulse spiked.
12:19She actually did it.
12:21She was really doing this to pressure him.
12:23But he kept scrolling through the group chat photos anyway.
12:26Yuna in a fitted mermaid gown.
12:28Eyes cast slightly down.
12:29A soft, quiet smile on her lips.
12:32His heart was hammering.
12:33Exactly the way it did the first time he ever saw her.
12:36Simus, we're all suited up and ready to roll.
12:38Just say the word.
12:39We're running out of time, man.
12:41Just head to the beach.
12:43We've all figured it out, you know?
12:45Last night made it real obvious.
12:46She's your sister's best friend.
12:48If you don't show up, Maya will end you.
12:50He hung up.
12:51Silas finally got to his feet and pulled on the white suit he'd had custom made on short notice.
12:57Then he wrapped his fingers around the two ring boxes in his pocket.
13:01He'd been planning to give them to her on their sixth anniversary.
13:04But she'd forced his hand.
13:06He couldn't let her do this alone.
13:08Grabbed his keys.
13:12Drove to the beach.
13:15The car had barely stopped when his friend called again.
13:18Completely panicked.
13:23Silas, what's going on?
13:24This wedding, the groomsman and the groom are already here.
13:30He undid his seatbelt with one hand and pinched the bridge of his nose.
13:34His voice was rough, still ragged from last night's drinks.
13:37What are you talking about?
13:39You must be at the wrong place.
13:40He forwarded the location Maya had posted in the family chat.
13:44Silas, this is the location.
13:46And there's only one wedding on this stretch of beach for miles.
13:49The whole thing is booked out.
13:52Then his friend spoke again.
13:54Careful.
13:54Uncertain.
13:55Silas went very still.
13:56A private ceremony here over Memorial Day weekend?
13:59That's tens of millions, minimum.
14:02Babe, why not just book the direct flight?
14:04It's only a few hundred more.
14:05I want to help you save up.
14:07Your career is just starting.
14:08Every penny counts.
14:10Yuna has always been careful with money.
14:12Our whole five years together, she researched every trip to save me money.
14:15So, why was she doing this now?
14:17He knew this beach.
14:20I'll let it go.
14:21She's older now.
14:23Wants something to remember.
14:24Fine.
14:25I'll give it to her.
14:26You've got the wrong spot.
14:28I'm on my way.
14:30He adjusted his tie in the rearview mirror, squeezed the ring box in his pocket, and stepped out.
14:37Listen to me.
14:38We are the groomsmen.
14:39You can't keep us out.
14:40The second, they spotted Silas.
14:42Silas!
14:42These guys won't let us through!
14:44Silas pressed two fingers to his temple, walked forward.
14:51I'm the groom.
14:53These are my groomsmen.
14:55Let us in.
14:55He looked Silas up and down.
14:57White suit, black tie, hair perfectly combed back.
15:01Genuinely handsome.
15:02One moment, sir.
15:02Let me verify.
15:03Genuinely convincing.
15:04I want you to, I'm sorry.
15:05The guard turned away, murmured into his earpiece.
15:08Sir, we've confirmed.
15:09His expression was caught apologetic.
15:12The bride and groom are already on site.
15:13The ceremony is about to begin.
15:18You may have the wrong venue.
15:20It's Memorial Day weekend.
15:21There are several weddings today.
15:23You don't want to miss yours.
15:24The guard tries to help.
15:30Ridiculous.
15:33Is the bride's name Yuna?
15:35The guards exchanged a look.
15:39I'm her boyfriend.
15:40She probably didn't brief your team properly.
15:42Can you just let me through?
15:44Look and put it on the shirt.
15:46His friend's expressions shifted to something harder to read.
15:49You heard him.
15:50He's the real VIP today.
15:52Step aside before you lose your jobs.
15:54Sir.
15:55Your name?
15:57Mercer.
15:58Silas Mercer.
15:59He almost added obviously, but stopped himself.
16:02Figured that would do it.
16:06That doesn't match our records, sir.
16:08Take a look.
16:10He turned the tablet around.
16:13Silas stared at the two names.
16:15Everything in him went blank.
16:17His friends crowded in behind him and went pale.
16:21What does this mean?
16:23Hudson Cole?
16:24The legendary coach?
16:26Silas, is this some kind of prank?
16:27What is going on?
16:28Silas didn't answer.
16:30His expression slowly, steadily darkened.
16:33She's scared I won't show up.
16:35She hired actors.
16:37Don't you guys see it?
16:38She used his name to scare me.
16:39It's fake.
16:41But Hudson Cole?
16:43Why would she use his name?
16:44That's insane.
16:46She's being dramatic.
16:48Come on.
16:48That's just how Yuna is.
16:49She wants to make me jealous.
16:51The guards were getting tired of this.
16:55If you let me in now, you save her the embarrassment.
16:59Trust me.
17:00When I walk in there, this whole charade is over.
17:04Sir, we're a professional team.
17:06We don't care about your drama.
17:08If your name isn't on the list, we can't let you in.
17:11Step back.
17:12Now.
17:15Unless you have an invitation.
17:17Physical or digital.
17:18Show it or leave.
17:22One of his friends smacked himself on the forehead.
17:26The invitation.
17:28Silas, remember when we ran into Yuna and she offered us one?
17:31You took it from her.
17:33You have it.
17:34Where is it?
17:37Silas paused.
17:41Silas paused.
17:42He wanted to push through anyway.
17:43But he decided.
17:45Fine.
17:46Have it your way, Yuna.
17:48He turned and walked back to the parking lot.
17:51Dug through the car.
17:52Found it eventually.
17:53The invitation he'd crumpled into a ball.
17:56He held it in his hand.
17:58Didn't open it.
17:59He just walked back.
18:01The guard checked it carefully.
18:02Then, stepped aside.
18:04And Silas ran.
18:07Through a tunnel of pink roses through the crowd.
18:10Until the ocean opened up ahead.
18:12Yuna stood under a floral arch.
18:14Her veil lifted softly in the sea breeze.
18:17But there was a man standing in front of her.
18:20Black suit.
18:21Perfectly straight.
18:23Head slightly bowed toward her.
18:25Eyes locked on her face.
18:29The officiant's voice carried on the ocean wind.
18:32Mrs. Yuna Hart.
18:33Do you take Mr. Hudson Cole to be your lawfully wedded husband?
18:38To have and to hold.
18:40In sickness and in health.
18:42In good times and in bad.
18:43For the rest of your life.
18:44Yuna tilted her face up.
18:46Silas watched her lips curve into a smile.
18:49I do.
18:50Something in Silas finally broke loose.
18:52Wait!
18:53Every head in the venue turned.
18:55Maya turned too.
18:57She was down from the arch in seconds.
19:00Still in her champagne bridesmaid dress.
19:02You show up late and then you have the nerve to yell wait!
19:06Sit down.
19:07Don't you dare ruin her day.
19:09You've ruined enough!
19:11He pushed her hand away.
19:13His eyes went straight back to the altar.
19:16Yuna.
19:18You win.
19:19I'm here.
19:22Tell your actor to leave.
19:24His hand slipped into his pocket.
19:26Found the ring box.
19:28Then something hit him.
19:29Hard.
19:30On the back of the head.
19:32Silas's mother had shoved through the guest rows.
19:36What are you saying?
19:38Are you out of your mind?
19:39How could Hudson be an actor?
19:43Yuna are getting married properly.
19:45Yuna and Hudson are getting married properly.
19:48His family is right here.
19:50You're making a scene in front of everyone.
19:53Stop!
19:54Silas followed her gaze slowly across the guest rows.
19:57A family he'd never seen before.
19:59The couple in the center, middle-aged composed, were watching him with cold, flat eyes.
20:08Mom, stop it.
20:11She hired them.
20:13She wouldn't actually marry someone else.
20:16She wouldn't.
20:17She loves me.
20:18His mother couldn't hold back anymore.
20:20She slapped him across the face.
20:23At the altar, I hadn't expected Silas to come.
20:26I really hadn't expected him to think the wedding was meant for him.
20:29His friends were looking at each other now, putting it all together.
20:32One by one, their expressions shifted.
20:34I let myself smile for a moment, then turned back to the man in front of me, Hudson Cole.
20:40The officiant's voice returned.
20:46Mr. Hudson Cole, do you take Ms. Yuna Hart to be your lawfully wedded wife?
20:51To have and to hold in sickness and in health in good times and in bad for the rest of
20:55your life?
20:57I do.
20:58Hudson looked at me.
20:59His gaze was steady, deep.
21:01And somehow, in this moment, I hadn't prepared for.
21:05It made me feel precious.
21:07He lifted the ring from the cushion, held my left hand in both of his, slid it on, gently, all
21:13the way down.
21:14My heartbeat spiked.
21:15Then he lifted my veil, leaned in, pressed a kiss to my forehead.
21:21I felt like I was floating.
21:24Across the room, Silas shot to his feet.
21:27His friends launched at him in unison.
21:29Silas, you're in the middle of World Cup prep.
21:31Coach Cole says one word and your career is over.
21:35I don't care!
21:37Hudson's lips still rested against my forehead.
21:40My hand lay on his arm.
21:42Silas' mouth opened.
21:43He was about to say my name.
21:46A hand clamped over his mouth from the side, with enough force to cut off his air.
21:50Final.
21:51With the help of his friends, Silas' father half-dragged him out through the side door.
21:55Hudson's fingers curled gently around mine.
21:58I came back to myself, smiled up at him.
22:00The ceremony continued.
22:02Outside, Silas' father let go.
22:04Then immediately backhanded him.
22:06Your sister grew up with Yuna.
22:08She's the maid of honor.
22:09What were you thinking?
22:11Do you have any idea what today is?
22:13Silas raised his head, tie crooked, looking wrecked, eyes burning red.
22:17Dad.
22:18His voice was shredded.
22:20Yuna and I, we've been together for five years.
22:25Five years.
22:27She proposed to me three times.
22:30It hit him then, fully.
22:32Finally.
22:35She's my...
22:36She's my girlfriend.
22:38This wasn't performance.
22:40This wasn't a nightmare.
22:42The woman he loved had genuinely married someone else.
22:44All those years he'd been so afraid to tell anyone.
22:47Afraid of what it would mean.
22:49Afraid that once it was real and visible, there was no taking it back.
22:52No more playing around.
22:54No more room to be young.
22:55He'd been especially afraid of committing to someone five years older than him.
22:59But standing here now, all he wanted was to grab the nearest person and say...
23:04Yuna is mine.
23:06She was always mine!
23:08She was always mine!
23:10His father's hand froze in the air.
23:13He stared at his son's face, genuinely gutted, and understood everything in an instant.
23:17Foolish!
23:18If you were together for five years, why didn't you marry her?
23:22Silas stood there.
23:24Couldn't speak.
23:25She's already married now.
23:27To someone you will never be able to touch.
23:30His father called security and had him kept outside.
23:34He didn't make it back in before the ceremony ended.
23:37When the last words were said, Hudson pulled me into a quiet embrace.
23:42That person...
23:43He said softly...
23:44He's the one you were waiting for.
23:45I went still.
23:46I said...
23:47He was.
23:48It doesn't matter anymore.
23:50Hudson didn't press.
23:51Didn't look surprised.
23:52He just held me a little tighter.
23:54We'd exchanged numbers a week before the wedding.
23:56Our first meeting was at a quiet kafdi.
23:59I told him everything.
24:00All five years of it.
24:02Silas, the secret relationship, the proposals he turned down, the ring he'd been buying for
24:08someone else, and why, because of all of that, I'd finally said yes to my family's arrangement.
24:14If any of this bothers you, we can dissolve the agreement.
24:19Hudson looked at me very steady.
24:21As long as you're beside me, that's all I need.
24:25The memory faded.
24:27We were already making our rounds through the guests.
24:29My grandmother was crying so hard, her whole body shook.
24:33Her clouded eyes rimmed over.
24:34She grabbed Hudson's hands and wouldn't let go.
24:37You have to take care of my girl.
24:39Her voice broke and scattered.
24:41Dementia had stolen most of her memories.
24:43But she remembered me.
24:44She knew today was my wedding day.
24:46I blinked hard, throat aching.
24:48All those years I made her wait.
24:50Don't worry, Grandma.
24:51I will spend my whole life protecting her.
24:54Hudson did something I didn't expect.
24:55He crouched down in front of her, met her eyes, completely present.
24:59Then he looked up, over her shoulder, straight at me.
25:03My heart skipped.
25:04After the ceremony, we said goodbye to our tearful families, and drove to the airport for
25:10our honeymoon.
25:13Hudson said, suddenly,
25:15I thought you might run.
25:17I turned to look at him.
25:20Why would you think that?
25:24Because he came.
25:25His profile was all sharp angles and soft light.
25:29I thought you might.
25:30No.
25:34Hudson, we're married now.
25:36I don't look back.
25:38I meant what I said.
25:39From this day forward, I'm with you.
25:43Completely.
25:44He looked down at our hands.
25:46Then, slowly, his fingers closed around mine, wrapping my hand entirely in...
25:51But what if...
25:52What if I don't want proper and respectful?
25:55Our marriage had been straightforward.
25:58Two families, sitting down negotiating terms, and a detailed prenuptial agreement.
26:03If he wanted to upend that now, I wasn't sure what I could do.
26:07Yuna, you're not just my wife.
26:11You're someone I've kept in my heart for a very long time.
26:18I stared at him.
26:20Hudson's face had gone a little pink in the golden light.
26:23This composed, unflappable man.
26:26His jaw was tight.
26:27His breathing unsteady.
26:29A few years ago, there was a sports awards gala.
26:32I saw you there.
26:33You were wearing a champagne dress.
26:34You were interviewing the honorees.
26:36Calm, sharp, completely unfazed.
26:39At some point, a waiter spilled wine on the hem of your skirt.
26:41Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
26:43I am so sorry, miss.
26:45It's fine.
26:46Don't panic.
26:47Here, wipe your hands first.
26:49I thought to myself,
26:50if a woman like that were ever standing beside me, what would that be like?
26:54I couldn't find my voice.
26:57I had someone look into you afterward.
27:00What they found was that you were already with someone.
27:03So, I put it away.
27:06Then, I heard your family was looking for someone for you.
27:09I reached out to them first.
27:11I couldn't let the chance slip away again.
27:14Yuna,
27:15I know you haven't fully let me in yet.
27:18But, I'll be here.
27:20Every day.
27:22I can wait.
27:26He leaned in.
27:28Pressed his lips to mine.
27:35I didn't pull back.
27:36All those times Silas told me to wait a little longer.
27:40This was the first time anyone had ever said,
27:43I'll wait for you.
27:44The honeymoon lasted a full month.
27:48Hudson made up for every year he'd kept his feelings to himself.
27:52He researched every destination, meticulously.
27:55He chartered a yacht and took me out to the open sea.
27:58He arranged fireworks over the water that lit up the entire night sky.
28:03On the beach.
28:04He rolled up his pant legs and chased me halfway across the shoreline.
28:09And when I finally couldn't run anymore,
28:11he picked me up and carried me back to the hotel.
28:14Yuna, you're so beautiful when you smile.
28:16You're radiant.
28:17I could drown in your eyes.
28:18He would look down at me.
28:20Really look.
28:22And say things that stopped my breath.
28:24I realized somewhere in that month,
28:26what it actually felt like to be cherished.
28:29We wore matching outfits through every city.
28:31He held my hand in broad daylight,
28:33on busy streets without a second thought.
28:36Mr. Cole!
28:36What a surprise to see you here!
28:39Good to see you.
28:40Allow me to introduce my wife, Yuna.
28:43And I understood then,
28:44if it is real love,
28:45you don't have to hide.
28:46You don't have to explain.
28:48You don't have to drop someone's hand
28:50when another person walks by.
28:51He was just as thoughtful and private, too.
28:55Gentle.
28:56Considerate.
28:57Never once saying anything that left me feeling small.
29:00I let myself fall into it.
29:02Properly.
29:03Fully.
29:06The only thing that interrupted us.
29:09An unknown number.
29:11Hello?
29:12The first time it rang,
29:13I answered.
29:15It was Silas.
29:19Yuna.
29:21Why did you leave me?
29:23You betrayed me.
29:24We were together for five years.
29:28Come back.
29:30I hung up,
29:31and blocked the number.
29:33The next day,
29:34a new number.
29:39Yuna, don't hang up!
29:40If you come back now,
29:41I'll forgive you!
29:42I swear,
29:42I'll forgive everything about the wedding!
29:44I mean it!
29:47The third call came
29:48while I was on the balcony,
29:50watching the sea.
29:51I'm sorry.
29:52He sounded like he'd been crying for hours.
29:55It's all my fault.
29:55I talked to my sister, Maya.
29:57I know you misunderstood
29:58what happened with Nina.
30:00That trip was a mistake!
30:02I'm going to let her go.
30:04I understand now
30:05why you've been pulling away.
30:07Just come back!
30:07Please!
30:09I'll do anything!
30:10I'll make it public!
30:12Just don't leave me!
30:13I stood there,
30:15holding the phone,
30:17silent for a long moment.
30:18The balcony door slid open.
30:21Hudson walked out
30:22with two glasses
30:23of fresh lemon water.
30:24He took one look at my face,
30:26asked nothing,
30:28just set a glass beside my hand
30:30and went back inside.
30:43I watched his back disappear
30:45through the glass.
30:47What I can't accept
30:49isn't just what did
30:50or didn't happen
30:51between her and you.
30:52It's so much more than that.
30:54I don't have any feelings
30:56for you anymore.
30:57Looking back,
30:58maybe it was the way
30:59he always made me feel
31:00like my age was a flaw.
31:02The way he kept us hidden
31:03like something
31:04to be ashamed of.
31:05The way he never grew up,
31:07never understood that love,
31:08beyond the excitement,
31:10requires respect
31:11and responsibility.
31:24Without Nina,
31:25there would have been
31:26someone else.
31:27Younger,
31:27prettier,
31:28there always would have been.
31:30But none of that
31:31was worth explaining
31:32to him anymore.
31:34I stared at the screen,
31:36typed slowly.
31:40Maya went quiet
31:41for a while.
31:43For five years,
31:44I carried this secret.
31:45I told myself it was for him,
31:47for his career,
31:48for his family.
31:49But the truth is,
31:50I was just afraid.
31:52Afraid that if I told anyone,
31:53they'd see what I already knew,
31:55that I was giving everything,
31:56and he was giving nothing.
31:58I paused,
32:00added one more line.
32:01Maya knew all along.
32:03She never said a word.
32:05She never judged me.
32:06She just waited.
32:07That is what love
32:09is supposed to feel like.
32:10Not hiding,
32:11not begging,
32:12just being seen.
32:14I put the phone down
32:16and went to find Hudson.
32:25One morning,
32:26I was walking into work.
32:28I'd barely reached
32:29the building entrance
32:30when a figure
32:30stepped out of nowhere
32:31and blocked my path.
32:33Yuna,
32:35can we talk?
32:37I'm going to be late.
32:40Five minutes!
32:42I know I was wrong.
32:43I know.
32:44Can't we just...
32:45Can't we go back
32:46to how things were?
32:48Simus,
32:49I'm married.
32:52This has nothing
32:53to do with you anymore.
32:56I don't care!
32:58Get divorced!
33:00I'll take responsibility
33:01for everything!
33:02I just want you!
33:05I care!
33:06I care about
33:07never having to see you again.
33:08If you can keep it together,
33:10I'll stay civil.
33:11But if you keep following me,
33:13you'll disgust me.
33:18How can you be so cold?
33:21Because I asked you
33:22to wait a few more times.
33:24You throw away
33:24five years for a stranger?
33:27Yuna,
33:28you're ruining your life.
33:30I looked at him
33:31for a moment.
33:31Then I laughed.
33:33Being with you
33:34was the most
33:35irresponsible thing
33:36I've ever done.
33:37I don't understand.
33:40What did I do?
33:42What was so unforgivable?
33:45Or was this always coming?
33:46Were you just looking
33:47for an excuse to leave?
34:00Five years.
34:01That slap
34:02had been waiting
34:03five years.
34:04You don't know
34:05what you did wrong?
34:06Let me tell you.
34:08First,
34:09on our fifth anniversary,
34:11you were out of town
34:12with Nina.
34:13You told me
34:14nothing happened.
34:15But there was lipstick
34:17on your collar.
34:21Yeah, Nina.
34:22I'm dealing with it.
34:24I endured it.
34:26But that doesn't mean
34:27I was okay with it.
34:30Second,
34:32five years underground.
34:34Every time I wanted
34:35to tell Maya the truth,
34:37you stopped me.
34:38You said it was
34:39for my sake.
34:41That it would make
34:42things complicated for me.
34:47Don't do it, Yuna.
34:48You know the media
34:49will tear us apart.
34:51It's for your own good.
34:52But the truth is
34:55you were scared.
34:57Scared that once
34:57it was out in the open,
34:58you'd have to actually commit.
35:00Scared to be responsible
35:02for someone
35:02five years older than you.
35:04I gave you time
35:05because I knew
35:06you were young.
35:07Because I loved you
35:08enough to wait.
35:11Because I knew
35:12to wait.
35:14But I wasn't
35:15going to wait forever.
35:16The color had drained
35:17from his face.
35:18And last.
35:22My biggest regret?
35:24Chasing an older woman.
35:26Man.
35:27Someone I couldn't
35:27give the ending
35:28she deserved.
35:30You said,
35:31out loud drunk
35:32in front of people,
35:34that your biggest regret
35:35was chasing
35:36an older woman.
35:37Someone you couldn't
35:39give the ending
35:39she deserved.
35:41So let me tell you mine.
35:43My biggest regret
35:45is those five years
35:46I spent hiding with you.
35:47Silas' lips
35:48were trembling.
35:49But five years
35:50isn't so long.
35:51Long enough
35:52to finally see clearly
35:53that you were
35:54never worth it.
35:55Something broke loose
35:56in his eyes
35:57and slid down his face.
35:59He scrubbed at it
36:00with his sleeve.
36:01It kept coming.
36:02I hear you.
36:04I was wrong.
36:05I was completely wrong.
36:07Can't you just...
36:08Can you give me
36:09one more chance?
36:11Please,
36:13babe.
36:14Hearing him
36:15call me babe again
36:15after everything.
36:17I smiled.
36:18And it was not
36:19a kind smile.
36:20I gave you chances.
36:21You used them all up.
36:24I turned
36:25and walked away.
36:26Behind me,
36:27I heard him break.
36:29No!
36:31Yuna!
36:32No!
36:33I didn't look back.
36:35In the months
36:36that followed,
36:37Silas didn't let go.
36:40Maya invited me
36:41for coffee
36:41when I got there.
36:42He was already
36:43at the table.
36:44Yuna!
36:46You came.
36:47I knew you wouldn't
36:48just cut me off
36:49completely.
36:53Yuna!
36:54Wait!
36:54Let me explain!
36:56Are you crazy,
36:58Simus?
36:58Stop stalking her.
37:00You're making
37:00a fool of yourself.
37:05Yuna,
37:05I'm so sorry.
37:06I swear I had no idea
37:07he was going to follow me.
37:08He must have seen
37:09my texts
37:09or tracked my car.
37:11It's okay, Maya.
37:12I know you wouldn't
37:13do this to me.
37:14He's completely
37:14lost his mind lately.
37:16Just ignore him.
37:17I'll make sure
37:17to be more careful
37:18next time.
37:19I'll text ahead,
37:19confirm he doesn't know.
37:20I know,
37:21but maybe
37:21we shouldn't meet
37:23in public for a while.
37:23It's not safe.
37:28Delivery for Mrs. Cole
37:29or Miss Hart?
37:35I'll take them.
37:41Flowers again?
37:43Just some junk mail.
37:45You're really not bothered?
37:47Bothered by what?
37:49Someone sending flowers
37:50to your wife?
37:52Repeatedly?
37:53He tucked his chin
37:54against my shoulder.
37:56Voice easy.
37:58You're not going to take them,
38:00so why should I be bothered?
38:01I kept waiting for Hudson
38:03to finally lose his patience,
38:04to step in.
38:06He never did.
38:08Eventually,
38:09we moved
38:10to the other side
38:11of the city.
38:12I changed jobs too.
38:14Silas' name
38:14gradually went quiet
38:16in my life.
38:17The next time I heard it,
38:19it was in the news.
38:20Silas Mercer
38:21dropped by his club,
38:22cut from the World Cup roster.
38:24I stared at the headline
38:26for a long time.
38:30Then,
38:31I messaged Maya.
38:39You're right, Maya.
38:41Nobody can wait
38:42for him forever.
38:44Hudson was on the couch
38:45with a stack of documents,
38:46expression
38:47as unhurried
38:48as always.
38:49You know,
38:50some people act like
38:51they're totally unbothered.
38:55And then quietly
38:56make sure a certain
38:57someone
38:58never plays him.
38:59His voice was steady,
39:00not jealous,
39:01not angry,
39:02just calm.
39:03Like he was simply
39:05stating a fact.
39:06He wasted five years
39:07of your life.
39:09I figured someone
39:11should get them back
39:11for you.
39:12And reached
39:12for his hand.
39:14His fingers closed
39:15around mine,
39:16slow,
39:17certain,
39:18wrapping my whole hand
39:19inside his.
39:21I am not afraid
39:23of getting older
39:24anymore.
39:26Because the person
39:28beside me,
39:29he is going
39:30to grow old
39:32with me.
39:38My biggest regret
39:39is those five years
39:40I spent hiding
39:41with you.
39:42Silas' lips
39:42were trembling.
39:43But five years
39:44isn't so long.
39:45Long enough
39:46to finally see clearly
39:47that you were
39:48never worth it.
39:48something broke
39:50loose in his eyes
39:51and slid down
39:52his face.
39:53He scrubbed
39:54at it with his sleeve.
39:55It kept coming.
39:57I hear you.
39:58I was wrong.
39:59I was completely wrong.
40:01Can't you just...
40:02Can you give me
40:03one more chance?
40:06Please,
40:07babe.
40:08Hearing him
40:09call me babe
40:09again after everything,
40:11I smiled.
40:12And it was not
40:13a kind smile.
40:14I gave you chances.
40:16You used them
40:16all up.
40:18I turned
40:19and walked away.
40:20Behind me,
40:21I heard him break.
40:24No!
40:25Yuna!
40:26No!
40:27I didn't look back.
40:29In the months
40:30that followed,
40:31Silas didn't let go.
40:34Maya invited me
40:35for coffee
40:35when I got there.
40:36He was already
40:37at the table.
40:39Yuna,
40:40you came.
40:41I knew you wouldn't
40:42just cut me off
40:43completely.
40:47Yuna!
40:48Wait!
40:49Let me explain!
40:51Are you crazy,
40:52Simus?
40:52Stop stalking her.
40:54You're making
40:55a fool of yourself.
40:59Yuna,
40:59I'm so sorry.
41:00I swear I had no idea
41:02he was going to follow me.
41:02He must have seen my texts
41:04or tracked my car.
41:05It's okay,
41:06Maya.
41:06I know you wouldn't
41:07do this to me.
41:08He's completely lost
41:09his mind lately.
41:10Just ignore him.
41:11I'll make sure
41:11to be more careful
41:12next time.
41:13I'll text ahead,
41:13confirm he doesn't know.
41:15I know,
41:15but maybe
41:16we shouldn't meet
41:17in public for a while.
41:18It's not safe.
41:22Delivery for Mrs. Cole
41:23or Miss Hart?
41:29I'll take them.
41:35Flowers again?
41:37Just some junk mail.
41:39You're really not bothered?
41:42Bothered by what?
41:43Someone sending flowers
41:45to your wife?
41:46Repeatedly?
41:47He tucked his chin
41:48against my shoulder.
41:50Voice easy.
41:52You're not going to take them,
41:54so why should I be bothered?
41:55I kept waiting for Hudson
41:57to finally lose his patience,
41:59to step in.
42:00He never did.
42:02Eventually,
42:03we moved
42:04to the other side
42:05of the city.
42:06I changed jobs, too.
42:08Silas' name gradually
42:09went quiet
42:10in my life.
42:11The next time I heard it,
42:13it was in the news.
42:14Silas Mercer dropped
42:15by his club,
42:16cut from the World Cup roster.
42:19I stared at the headline
42:20for a long time.
42:24Then,
42:25I messaged Maya.
42:33You're right, Maya.
42:35Nobody can wait
42:36for him forever.
42:38Hudson was on the couch
42:39with a stack of documents,
42:40expression
42:41as unhurried
42:42as always.
42:43You know,
42:44some people act like
42:46they're totally unbothered
42:49and then quietly
42:50make sure
42:50a certain someone
42:52never plays again.
42:53His voice was steady,
42:55not jealous,
42:56not angry,
42:57just calm.
42:58Like he was simply
42:59stating a fact.
43:00He wasted five years
43:01of your life.
43:04I figured someone
43:05should get them back
43:05for you.
43:06And reached
43:07for his hand.
43:08His fingers closed
43:09around mine,
43:10slow,
43:11certain,
43:12wrapping my whole hand
43:13inside his.
43:16I am not afraid
43:17of getting older
43:18anymore.
43:20because the person
43:22beside me,
43:23he is going
43:25to grow old
43:26with me.
