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
00:25Nobody knows that I, a completely ordinary sports channel journalist
00:29Have 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
00:59I proposed to him three times
01:02He turned me down
01:03All 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 giving 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
01:28He even bought the ring
01:32Really?
01:33You know about it?
01:34My heart slammed against my ribs
01:36Hope, real, terrifying hope
01:39Started 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
01:50Some junior assistant
01:52Didn't she go to your university?
01:54I went still
01:54The bloom in my chest turned to ash
01:57I swallowed it down
01:58My head lowered
01:59Pretending 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
02:10The man was Hudson Cole
02:12The most respected soccer coach in the country
02:15But also Silas' mortal anemone
02:18Who's issued Silas multiple red cards
02:20And publicly sneered that a playboy
02:22Will 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
02:35What 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
02:47And you turned down every single one
02:48And now you're just
02:49Getting 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
03:01Just to see you walk down the aisle
03:03I looked down
03:04The grandma who raised me
03:06Had dementia
03:07Her one remaining wish
03:09In her clearer moments
03:10Was 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
03:19I couldn't even mention
03:22Enough of that
03:23Show me a photo of this guy
03:24I forced a small smile
03:27And reached for my phone
03:28And a hand shot out from behind me
03:30Snatching it clean away
03:32Yuna's got a boyfriend?
03:33Let me see
03:34But 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
03:44Give 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
03:52Little bunny
03:53That was what he called me in bed
03:55He used to tease me
03:56You were in your thirties
03:58And you've still got no bite
03:59You just lie there being adorable
04:02Yuna
04:03Your eyes are red
04:06I'm fine
04:07Just tired
04:08I'm heading home
04:08I walked away fast
04:10Go apologize
04:12I'll settle the check and meet you outside
04:17Silas 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
04:26He 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
04:42I 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?
04:51I 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
05:06Came through the speaker
05:07Nina
05:08The junior assistant on his team
05:10Hello?
05:11Silas, there's an issue with tomorrow's training schedule
05:14Don't worry
05:15I'm on my way
05:15He hung up
05:16Pressed 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
05:24Just wait a little more, okay?
05:28Team emergency
05:29Go home with my sister
05:30He circled around to the driver's seat
05:32Left nothing but exhaust in his wake
05:34It was like the last time
05:36He'd said he wanted to see the ocean
05:38I researched every coastal spot
05:40Found the best viewpoint
05:42He said he wanted seafood
05:44I compared a dozen restaurants
05:46Made the reservation
05:47At the airport
05:48One second he had his arms around me
05:50His phone rang
05:51Team crisis
05:52He walked away without looking back
05:55I waited for him for a whole week
06:00Yuna, where'd he go?
06:02Team 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
06:08What does she even have?
06:09Young pretty
06:10Young
06:10I let those words sit on my tongue
06:12They tasted like ash
06:14Last month he'd grabbed my waist in bed
06:16And said
06:17Babe
06:17You really should start working out more
06:19Maya grabbed my arm
06:21And 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
06:29And 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
06:36Said she went to the same university as you
06:38So he couldn't exactly kick her out
06:40Look, here's
06:41Look, here's her post right here
06:43The date
06:44The exact week I was waiting alone
06:46Every location in the photos
06:47I 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
06:54Was the first day of their public romance
06:57I dropped Maya off at her place
06:58Said goodbye like everything was fine
07:01Bye Maya
07:02But the moment the door closed
07:03I gave the driver Silas' club address
07:06Take me to Silas' club please
07:07I'd been to that building many times
07:09But they only ever knew me as Maya's best friend
07:12Nobody knew what happened in that office
07:14The couch
07:15The 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
07:26I 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?
07:51Then Silas definitely has to be there
07:52He's basically your family
07:54We can reschedule our trip
07:55The second she was gone
07:56The 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
08:10Go 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
08:16But I suddenly realized there was nothing left to say
08:19You can only break up if you were together
08:21And clearly, in his mind
08:24We never were
08:25He snatched the invitation out of my fingers
08:27Said a quick goodbye to the group
08:29And shoved me 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
08:42Pushed 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?
08:54Suddenly, the air felt thin
08:55Five years underground
08:56I told myself it was because of Maya
08:59Because his career was just getting started
09:01But it was never that
09:03He hid me because I was something to be ashamed of
09:06I shoved him away
09:07Stumbled to the bathroom
09:08Threw 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
09:31Went to the back of the closet
09:33And 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
09:44For five years
09:45By the time dawn came
09:47The tin box was in the trash
09:50I took one last look at the apartment
09:53He 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
10:00Maya told me Silas had gone off the grid
10:03Wasn't answering anyone
10:04Not even his parents
10:06I didn't care anymore
10:07The invitations went out
10:10The date crept closer
10:11The night before the wedding
10:13I posted on social media for the first time
10:16Just a quiet announcement
10:18Tomorrow I am getting married
10:19The likes and congratulations flooded in instantly
10:22Hundreds 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
10:32Silas?
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
10:50Truths are there! Truths are there!
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
11:02Knowing I couldn't give her what she wanted
11:05Laughter rippered through the room
11:08Silas has layers
11:09We 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
11:18Next question
11:20Most reckless thing you've done lately?
11:23A beat
11:23Then 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
11:48Silas 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
11:57Then 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?
12:16Don'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
12:37Simus, 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
12:49Maya will end you
12:50He hung up
12:52Silas finally got to his feet
12:53And pulled on the white suit
12:55He'd had custom made on short 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 6th anniversary
13:04But she'd forced his hand
13:06He couldn't let her do this alone
13:07Grabbed his keys
13:12Drove to the beach
13:15The car had barely stopped when his friend called again
13:18Completely panicked
13:24Silas, what's going on?
13:25This wedding, the groomsmen and the groom are already here
13:30He undid his seatbelt with one hand
13:32And pinched the bridge of his nose
13:34His voice was rough
13:35Still 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, uncertain
13:55Silas went very still
13:57A 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
14:13She researched every trip to save me money
14:15So, why was she doing this now?
14:18He knew this beach
14:20I'll let it go
14:21She's older now
14:23Wants something to remember
14:24Fine, I'll give it to her
14:27You got the wrong spot
14:28I'm on my way
14:30He adjusted his tie in the rear view mirror
14:34Squeezed the ring box in his pocket
14:35And 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!
14:43These guys won't let us through!
14:45Silas pressed two fingers to his temple
14:47Walked forward
14:51I'm the groom
14:53These are my groomsmen
14:55Let us in
14:56He looked Silas up and down
14:57White suit, black tie, hair perfectly combed back
15:01Genuinely handsome
15:02One moment sir, let me verify
15:03Genuinely convincing
15:05The guard turned away
15:07Murmured into his earpiece
15:08Sir, we've confirmed
15:10His 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 you 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
15:56Your name?
15:57Mercer
15:58Silas Mercer
15:59He almost added obviously
16:01But stopped himself
16:02Figured that would do it
16:06That doesn't match our records, sir
16:08Take a look
16:09He turned the tablet
16:11Around
16:13Silas stared at the two names
16:15Everything in him went blank
16:17His friends crowded in behind him
16:19And went pale
16:22What does this mean?
16:23Hudson Cole?
16:24The legendary coach?
16:26Silas
16:26Is this some kind of prank?
16:28What is going on?
16:29Silas didn't answer
16:30His expression slowly
16:32Steadily darkened
16:34She'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
16:42Hudson Cole?
16:43Why would she use his name?
16:45That's insane
16:47She'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
16:57You save her the embarrassment
16:59Trust me
17:00When I walk in there
17:01This whole charade is over
17:04Sir
17:05We're a professional team
17:06We don't care about your drama
17:08If your name isn't on the list
17:09We can't let you in
17:11Step back
17:12Now
17:15Unless you have an invitation
17:17Physical or digital
17:18Show it
17:19Or leave
17:23One of his friends
17:24Smacked himself on the forehead
17:27The invitation
17:28Silas
17:29Remember when we ran into Yuna
17:30And she offered us one?
17:31You took it from her
17:32You have it
17:34Where is it?
17:37Silas paused
17:41Silas paused
17:42He wanted to push through anyway
17:44But he decided
17:45Fine
17:47Have 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
18:03Stepped 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
18:22Head 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
18:35To be your lawfully wedded husband?
18:38To have and to hold
18:39In 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
19:05You show up late and then you have the nerve to yell wait
19:06Sit down
19:08Don't you dare ruin her day
19:09You've ruined enough
19:10He pushed her hand away
19:13His eyes went straight back to the altar
19:16Yuna
19:17Yuna
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' mother had shoved through the guest rows
19:36What are you saying?
19:38Are you out of your mind?
19:40How 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
20:01Middle-aged composed
20:02Were watching him with cold, flat eyes
20:18His mother couldn't hold back anymore
20:20She slapped him across the face
20:22At the altar
20:24I 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
20:31Putting it all together
20:32One by one
20:33Their expressions shifted
20:34I let myself smile for a moment
20:37Then turned back to the man in front of me
20:39Hudson Cole
20:40The officiant's voice returned
20:47Mr. Hudson Cole
20:48Do you take Miss Yuna Hart to be your lawfully wedded wife?
20:52To have and to hold in sickness and in health
20:54In good times and in bad
20:55For the rest of your life?
20:57I do
20:58Hudson looked at me
20:59His gaze was steady
21:01Deep
21:01And somehow
21:03In this moment
21:03I hadn't prepared for
21:05It made me feel precious
21:06He lifted the ring from the cushion
21:09Held my left hand in both of his
21:11Slid it on
21:12Gently
21:13All the way down
21:14My heartbeat spiked
21:15Then he lifted my veil
21:17Leaned in
21:17Pressed a kiss to my forehead
21:21I felt like I was floating
21:24Across the room
21:25Silas shot to his feet
21:27His friends launched at him in unison
21:29Silas!
21:30You'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
21:45A hand clamped over his mouth from the side
21:48With enough force to cut off his air
21:50Final
21:51With the help of his friends
21:52Silas' father half dragged him out through the side door
21:55Hudson's fingers curled gently around mine
21:58I came back to myself
21:59Smiled 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
22:14Ty crooked
22:15Looking wrecked
22:16Eyes burning red
22:17Dad
22:18His voice was shredded
22:19Yuna and I
22:22We've been together for five years
22:25Five years
22:27She proposed to me three times
22:29It hit him then
22:31Fully finally
22:35She's my
22:37She's my girlfriend
22:38This wasn't performance
22:40This wasn't a nightmare
22:41The 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
22:51There 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
23:01All 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
23:14Genuinely gutted
23:15And understood everything in an instant
23:18Foolish
23:18If you were together for five years
23:20Why didn't you marry her?
23:22Silas stood there
23:23Couldn't speak
23:25She's already married now
23:27To someone you will never be able to touch
23:30His father called security
23:32And had him kept outside
23:34He didn't make it back in before the ceremony ended
23:37When the last words were said
23:39Hudson 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
23:49Hudson 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
24:01Silas
24:03The secret relationship
24:04The proposals he turned down
24:06The ring he'd been buying for someone else
24:09And why?
24:10Because of all of that
24:11I'd finally said yes to my family's arrangement
24:14If
24:14Any of this bothers you
24:16We can dissolve the agreement
24:19Hudson looked at me
24:20Very steady
24:21As long as you're beside me
24:23That's all I need
24:26The memory faded
24:27We were already making our rounds through the guests
24:29My grandmother was crying so hard
24:32Her 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
24:47Throat 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
24:56He crouched down in front of her
24:57Met her eyes
24:58Completely present
24:59Then he looked up
25:00Over her shoulder
25:01Straight at me
25:02My heart skipped
25:04After the ceremony
25:06We said goodbye to our tearful families
25:08And drove to the airport for our honeymoon
25:13Hudson said
25:14Suddenly
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
25:33Hudson
25:35We're married now
25:37I don't look back
25:38I meant what I said
25:40From this day forward
25:42I'm with you
25:43Completely
25:44He looked down at our hands
25:46Then slowly
25:47His fingers closed around mine
25:49Wrapping my hand entirely in
25:51But what if
25:52What if I don't want proper and respectful?
25:56Our marriage had been straightforward
25:58Two families
25:59Sitting down negotiating terms
26:01And a detailed prenuptial agreement
26:03If he wanted to upend that now
26:05I wasn't sure what I could do
26:07Yuna
26:09You're not just my wife
26:12You're someone I've kept in my heart
26:13For a very long time
26:18I stared at him
26:20Hudson's face had gone a little pink
26:22In the golden light
26:23This composed unflappable man
26:26His jaw was tight
26:27His breathing unsteady
26:29A few years ago
26:30There was a sports awards gala
26:31I saw you there
26:33You were wearing a champagne dress
26:34You were interviewing the honorees
26:36Calm, sharp
26:37Completely unfazed
26:39At some point
26:39A waiter spilled wine
26:41On the hem of your skirt
26:42Oh my god
26:42I'm so sorry
26:43I am so sorry miss
26:45It's fine
26:46Don't panic
26:47Here
26:47Wipe your hands first
26:49I thought to myself
26:50If a woman like that
26:51Were ever standing beside me
26:53What 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
27:01You were already with someone
27:04So
27:04I put it away
27:06Then
27:07I heard your family
27:08Was looking for someone for you
27:09I reached out to them first
27:10I couldn't let the chance
27:12Slip away again
27:14Yuna
27:15I know you haven't fully let me in yet
27:18But
27:19I'll be here
27:20Every day
27:22I can wait
27:27He 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
27:59He 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
28:08And 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
28:21And 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, what 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
28:52He was just as thoughtful and private too
28:54Gentle
28:56Considerate
28:57Never once saying anything that left me feeling small
29:00I let myself fall into it
29:02Properly
29:03Fully
29:07The only thing that interrupted us
29:09An unknown number
29:11Hello?
29:12The first time it rang
29:13I answered
29:14It was Silas
29:19Yuna
29:20Why did you leave me?
29:23You betrayed me
29:24We were together for five years
29:29Come back
29:30I hung up
29:31And blocked the number
29:33The next day
29:34A new number
29:39Yuna
29:39Don'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
29:49While I was on the balcony
29:50Watching the sea
29:51I'm sorry
29:52He sounded like he'd been crying
29:54For hours
29:55It's all my fault
29:55I talked to my sister Maya
29:57I know you misunderstood
29:59What 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
30:08Please
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
30:16Silent 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
30:27Just 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
30:53It'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
31:01Like my age was a flaw
31:02The way he kept us hidden
31:04Like something to be ashamed of
31:05The way he never grew up
31:07Never understood that love
31:09Beyond the excitement
31:10Requires respect
31:11And responsibility
31:24Without Nina
31:25There would have been
31:26Someone else
31:26Younger
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
31:35Typed slowly
31:40Maya went quiet
31:42For a while
31:43For five years
31:44I carried this secret
31:45I told myself
31:46It was for him
31:47For his career
31:48For his family
31:49But the truth is
31:51I was just afraid
31:51Afraid 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
31:59I paused
32:00Added one more line
32:02Maya 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
32:13Being 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
32:31Stepped out of nowhere
32:32And blocked my path
32:33Yuna
32:36Can 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
32:47To how things were?
32:48Simus
32:49I'm married
32:52This has nothing
32:53To do with you anymore
32:57I don't care
32:58Get divorced
32:59I'll take responsibility
33:01For everything
33:02I just want you
33:05I care
33:06I care about never
33:07Having 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 to wait
33:23A few more times
33:24You throw away five years
33:25For a stranger?
33:28Yuna you'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 irresponsible
33:36Thing I've ever done
33:37I don't understand
33:40What did I do?
33:42What was so unforgivable?
33:45Or was this always coming?
33:47Were you just looking
33:47For an excuse to leave?
34:00Five years
34:01That slap had been waiting
34:03Five years
34:05You don't know
34:06What you did wrong?
34:07Let me tell you
34:08First
34:09On our fifth anniversary
34:11You were out of town
34:12With Nina
34:13You told me nothing happened
34:16But there was lipstick
34:17On your collar
34:21Yeah Nina
34:22I'm dealing with it
34:25I endured it
34:27That doesn't mean
34:27I was okay with it
34:31Second
34:32Five years underground
34:34Every time I wanted
34:35To tell Maya the truth
34:37You stopped me
34:39You said it was
34:40For 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
34:53But the truth is
34:55You were scared
34:57Scared that once
34:58It was out in the open
34:58You'd have to actually commit
35:01Scared to be responsible
35:02For someone five years
35:03Older than you
35:05I gave you time
35:06Because I knew you were young
35:08Because I loved you
35:09Enough to wait
35:11Because I knew to wait
35:14But I wasn't going to wait
35:15But I wasn't going to wait forever
35:16The color had drained
35:17From his face
35:18And last
35:22My biggest regret
35:24Chasing an older woman
35:54Man
35:56Broke loose in the door
35:57Broke loose in his eyes
35:57Broke loose in his eyes
35:57Broke loose in his eyes
35:57And slid down his face
35:58He scrubbed at it with his sleeve
36:01It kept coming
36:02I hear you
36:04I was wrong
36:06I was completely wrong
36:07Can't you just
36:08Can you give me one more chance
36:11Please
36:12Babe
36:13Hearing him call me babe again
36:16After everything
36:16I smiled
36:18And it was not a 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
36:30No
36:30Yuna
36:31No
36:32I didn't look back
36:35In the months that followed
36:37Silas didn't let go
36:40Maya invited me for coffee
36:41When I got there
36:42He was already at the table
36:45Yuna
36:45You came
36:47I knew you wouldn't
36:48Just cut me off completely
36:53Yuna
36:54Wait
36:54Let me explain
36:56Are you crazy Simus
36:58Stop stalking her
37:00You're making a fool of yourself
37:05Yuna
37:05I'm so sorry
37:06I swear I had no idea
37:08He was gonna follow me
37:08He must have seen my texts
37:10Or tracked my car
37:11It's okay Maya
37:12I know you wouldn't do this to me
37:14He's completely lost his mind lately
37:16Just ignore him
37:17I'll make sure to be more careful next time
37:19I'll text ahead
37:19Confirm he doesn't know
37:20I know
37:21But maybe
37:22We shouldn't meet in public for a while
37:24It's not safe
37:28Delivery for Mrs. Cole
37:29Or
37:29Miss Hart
37:35I'll take them
37:36Thank 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 gonna take them
37:59So why should I be bothered?
38:02I kept waiting for Hudson to finally lose his patience
38:04To step in
38:06He never did
38:08Eventually
38:09We moved
38:10To the other side of the city
38:11I changed jobs too
38:13Silas' name gradually went quiet
38:16In my life
38:17The next time I heard it
38:19It was in the news
38:20Silas Mercer dropped by his club
38:22Cut from the World Cup roster
38:24I stared at the headline for a long time
38:30Then
38:31I messaged
38:32Maya
38:39You're right Maya
38:41Nobody can wait for him forever
38:43Hudson was on the couch with a stack of documents
38:46Expression
38:47As unhurried as always
38:49You know
38:50Some people act like they're totally unbothered
38:55And then quietly make sure a certain someone
38:58Never plays again
38:59His voice was steady
39:00Not jealous
39:01Not angry
39:02Just calm
39:03Like 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
39:16Slow
39:16Certain
39:17Wrapping my whole hand inside his
39:22I 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' lips were trembling
39:43But five years isn't so long
39:45Long enough to finally see clearly that you were never worth it
39:49Something broke loose in his eyes
39:51And slid down his face
39:53He scrubbed at it with his sleeve
39:55It kept coming
39:56I hear you
39:58I was wrong
39:59I was completely wrong
40:01Can't you just
40:02Can you give me one more chance?
40:06Please
40:07Babe
40:08Hearing him call me babe again after everything
40:11I smiled
40:12And it was not a kind smile
40:14I gave you chances
40:16You used them all up
40:18I turned
40:19And walked away
40:20Behind me
40:22I heard him break
40:24No
40:25Yuna
40:26No
40:26I didn't look back
40:30In the months that followed
40:31Silas didn't let go
40:34Maya invited me for coffee when I got there
40:36He was already at the table
40:39Yuna
40:39You came
40:41I knew you wouldn't just cut me off completely
40:47Yuna
40:48Wait
40:48Let me explain
40:51Are you crazy Simus?
40:53Stop stalking her
40:54You're making a fool of yourself
40:59Yuna
40:59I'm so sorry
41:00I swear I had no idea he was going to follow me
41:03He must have seen my texts
41:04Or 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
41:11I'll make sure to be more careful next time
41:13I'll text ahead
41:14Confirm he doesn't know
41:15I know
41:15But maybe
41:16We shouldn't meet in public for a while
41:18It's not safe
41:22Delivery for Mrs. Cole
41:23Or
41:24Miss Hart
41:29I'll take them
41:30Thank you
41:35Flowers again?
41:37Just some junk mail
41:39You're really not bothered?
41:42Bothered by what?
41:44Someone sending flowers to your wife?
41:46Repeatedly?
41:47He tucked his chin against my shoulder
41:50Voice easy
41:52You're not going to take them
41:54So why should I be bothered?
41:56I kept waiting for Hudson to finally lose his patience
41:59To step in
42:00He never did
42:02Eventually
42:03We moved
42:04To the other side of the city
42:06I changed jobs too
42:07Silas' name gradually went quiet
42:10In my life
42:11The next time I heard it
42:13It was in the news
42:14Silas Mercer dropped by his club
42:16Cut from the World Cup roster
42:18I stared at the headline for a long time
42:24Then
42:25I messaged Maya
42:33You're right Maya
42:35Nobody can wait for him forever
42:37Hudson was on the couch with a stack of documents
42:40Expression
42:41As unhurried as always
42:43You know
42:44Some people act like they're totally unbothered
42:49And then quietly make sure a certain someone
42:52Never plays again
42:54His voice was steady
42:54Not jealous
42:55Not angry
42:56Just calm
42:58Like he was simply stating a fact
43:00He wasted five years of your life
43:04I figured someone should get them back for you
43:06And reached for his hand
43:08His fingers closed around mine
43:10Slow
43:11Certain
43:11Wrapping my whole hand inside his
43:16I am not afraid of getting older anymore
43:20Because the person beside me
43:24He is going to grow old with me
43:28He is going to grow old with me
43:30He is going to grow old with me
43:30He is going to grow old with me
