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

40:24No! Yuna! No!
40:27I didn't look back.

40:34Maya invited me for coffee when I got there.
40:36He was already at the table.
40:39Yuna!
40:40You came.
40:41I knew you wouldn't just cut me off completely.
40:47Yuna! Wait!
40:49Let me explain!
40:51Are you crazy, Simus?
40:53Stop stalking her.
40:54You're making a fool of yourself.
40:59Yuna, I'm so sorry.
41:00I swear I had no idea he was going to follow me.
41:03He must have seen my texts or tracked my car.
41:05It's okay, Maya.
41:06I know you wouldn't do this to me.
41:08He's completely lost his mind lately.
41:10Just ignore him.

43:24He is going to grow old with me.
43:27Now let's get back to him properly.
43:27Now you make these.
43:31Now we do.
