01:00So at the wedding I had looked forward to for so long, they made me the biggest joke of the
01:04day, whispered about and ridiculed by everyone.
07:13Sylvia pouted dramatically and tugged on mom's sleeve.
07:19She sounded like she was defending me, but the smugness in her eyes was impossible to hide.
07:25I knew better that Sylvia was far from innocent.
07:29A week ago, I told her the wedding date myself, she saw the message and even replied that she was
07:34preparing a surprise.
07:38And she did give me one. It was just not the kind anyone would want.
07:45This forced choice between us was a game she had played since childhood.
07:51Every single time, I was never the one my parents or Zachariah chose.
07:58Even Eugene, who was supposed to spend his life with me, didn't choose me.
08:03I should have been heartbroken, but maybe I had gone numb.
08:06Hearing their words now barely stirred anything inside me.
08:11I'm not mad.
08:13The moment I said that, everyone stopped and stared at me.
08:17It was impossible that I wasn't mad.
08:19I caught the expressions on their faces and felt a wave of irony.
08:24They knew what they did was infuriating, yet they chose to do it anyway, and then acted like my emotions
08:30were the problem.
08:32My calmness made my parents and Zachariah uneasy.
08:37After a moment of silence, dad finally said,
08:42Good. We're a family, so stop taking everything so seriously.
08:47Yes, I understand.
08:49I nodded obediently.
08:52Seeing me act so unaffected, they relaxed and turned back to fussing over Sylvia.
09:00Aside from the shrimp I made, the table was covered in seafood dishes prepared by the housekeeper.
09:06They were everything Sylvia loved.
09:08Sylv, you're so thin. Eat more.
09:13Dad and Zachariah's fork never stopped moving.
09:16Before long, the food was piled high in her plate like a tiny mountain.
09:23She beamed as she bragged to the family about her life overseas.
09:29She claimed she had already secured a spot in an orchestra and would be performing with them soon.
09:35My parents and Zachariah showered her with praise.
09:39I quietly continued eating my rice.
09:42My silence must have finally stirred some guilt in mom,
09:45because she suddenly remembered I had been humiliated today.
09:52A shrimp was placed on my plate.
09:55I looked up.
09:56Mom's expression was a little stiff.
09:59Eat.
10:00Don't think we only care about Sylve.
10:03Didn't I just give one to you too?
10:05I stared at the shrimp for a long time,
10:07then set my fork down.
10:10No need.
10:11I'm full.
10:12I'm full.
10:16Mom looked embarrassed and a little irritated.
10:22What's wrong with you now?
10:24Just as she was about to say more,
10:26Sylvia, who was sitting beside her,
10:28suddenly grabbed her throat.
10:30Her facial expression changed instantly.
10:35Mom, I can't breathe.
10:39When my parents and Zachariah rushed to Sylvia's side and saw the hives spreading across her skin,
10:44they panicked.
10:48She's having an allergic reaction.
10:51How could this happen all of a sudden?
10:54Mom's gaze flicked around,
10:56then landed on me.
10:59The next second,
11:00she slapped me with all her strength.
11:06I staggered,
11:07couldn't steady myself,
11:08and fell to the floor.
11:09My head buzzed.
11:13Rebecca, what did you put in the food?
11:15Don't you remember what Sylvia's allergic to?
11:17Zachariah looked at me with utter disappointment.
11:19I knew it!
11:21It was weird that you were acting so agreeable.
11:24You were really planning to hurt Sylph.
11:29Rebecca,
11:30how can I have such a vicious sister?
11:35Enough!
11:36Stop yelling!
11:39Take Sylph to the hospital first!
11:42Dad slammed the table,
11:44and only then did Mom and Zachariah tear their hateful glares away from me.
11:48My whole family rushed out in a blind panic.
11:51And I was the only one left sitting on the floor,
11:54holding my swollen cheek in a daze.
11:57It wasn't me.
11:59I wanted to say it so badly.
12:02But things like this had happened to many times,
12:04and I knew they wouldn't believe me even if I said it.
12:09So I would just forget about it.
12:13One of the house staff came running over after hearing the commotion.
12:17She tried to help me up,
12:18but froze when she saw my hands.
12:20Miss Rebecca,
12:22what happened to your hands?
12:24Why are they so swollen?
12:26I'm fine.
12:28I rejected her help,
12:29stood up on my own,
12:31and went upstairs to my room.
12:36I picked up the notebook on my desk
12:38as a flood of memories surged through me.
12:40When I was eight,
12:41our family had very little money.
12:43All five of us squeezed into one old cramped house.
12:51My parents were overwhelmed with work
12:53and couldn't take care of three kids at the same time.
12:56They decided one of us needed to be sent
12:58to our grandparents in the countryside.
13:01But Zachariah was about to start high school at a critical time,
13:05and Sylvia was too young and frail for them to feel at ease sending her away.
13:11I didn't want to see my parents looking so stressed,
13:14so I lifted my hand and volunteered.
13:18And just like that,
13:19I was sent to the countryside.
13:23Before I left,
13:25mom stroked my head and said I was the most sensible child.
13:29But no one told me the price of being sensible
13:31was that I would stay there for eight whole years.
13:35For eight years,
13:36except for the new year,
13:38I didn't see my parents,
13:40Zachariah or Sylvia.
13:44I watched their clothes get nicer every year
13:46and could guess that life at home had improved a lot.
13:50I kept waiting for mom and dad to bring me home.
13:53But I grew from an elementary schooler into a high schooler.
13:57And even after my aging grandparents passed away,
14:00they still hadn't come for me.
14:04I only returned once there was no one left to take care of me.
14:08The tiny run-down house in my memories was gone.
14:11In its place stood a three-story villa.
14:17The room they gave me was on the first floor corner.
14:20It was nothing like Zachariah's room
14:22filled with books and gaming gear.
14:24Nor like Sylvia's room overflowing with girlish decorations.
14:29It mirrored my place in this family
14:31never important enough to matter
14:32and always easy to overlook.
14:37I packed the few belongings I had
14:39and stuffed them into my suitcase.
14:43The wedding leave I had requested from my advisor,
14:46Raiden Delian,
14:47was useless now.
14:50I was about to call him to say
14:52I would be back tomorrow
14:53when my phone suddenly rang.
14:56It was Eugene.
14:59I thought he was calling about wedding follow-ups,
15:02but the moment I picked up,
15:04he started yelling.
15:06Rebecca, what did you do to Syl?
15:13The man who was always calm and composed
15:16had lost it twice in one day.
15:19The first time was when he heard
15:21Sylvia was back in the country.
15:23The second time was because she went to the hospital.
15:28I found it funny,
15:30considering he was supposed to be my fiance.
15:35She had an allergic reaction.
15:38So it was you, wasn't it?
15:39How could you do that to your own sister?
15:43His voice was thick with anger.
15:45Rebecca,
15:46I always thought you were a kind person,
15:49but just because of something this small,
15:51you sent Syl to the hospital.
15:53Do you even have a conscience?
15:56I listened to his accusations,
15:58too tired to bother explaining.
16:02Yeah,
16:03guess I don't.
16:05It's my fault.
16:07I'll apologize to her when she gets back.
16:10Are you happy now?
16:12If you've said everything you needed to say,
16:14I'm hanging up.
16:16I have things to do.
16:20Eugene froze.
16:21He clearly didn't expect this reaction.
16:25Before this,
16:26we had fought countless times over Sylvia.
16:30On dates,
16:31he would get lost in conversation with her.
16:34At meals,
16:36he would forget my food allergies
16:37but always order her favorites.
16:40Whenever I accused him of crossing lines,
16:43he would respond with,
16:44You're overthinking.
16:45She's your sister.
16:47I'm just looking after her for you.
16:51His indifference made me look like some controlling,
16:54jealous lunatic.
16:56My parents and Zachariah took his side every time,
16:59saying I was too possessive.
17:03So when Sylvia left the country for a year,
17:06I shamefully felt relieved.
17:09But I had been starving for affection for so long
17:12that I forgot broken glass cuts.
17:15I kept clutching those shards long after they should have been dropped,
17:18and now all I was left with were bleeding hands.
17:24Rebecca, you'd better mean what you said.
17:28If anything happens to Sile again,
17:30you can forget about our wedding.
17:33Eugene's voice carried a clear threat.
17:37I heard him get out of the car,
17:39the door slamming shut,
17:41and the noise around him suddenly growing louder.
17:44I could tell he was going to the hospital,
17:47probably rushing in to check on Sylvia.
17:50He was using my name as an excuse
17:52just so he could fuss over the woman he actually cared about.
17:55Did he really think I was stupid enough to fall for it?
18:00I let out a dry laugh,
18:02hung up,
18:03and called Raiden.
18:07By the time my parents and Zachariah
18:09finally dragged themselves home.
18:11Exhausted,
18:12I had already finished packing
18:13and was ready to move into the dorms.
18:17Just in time to hear mom sigh.
18:21If only Gino's family were better off,
18:24he and Syl would make such a good match.
18:28Look at him.
18:30He's so attentive.
18:32My steps faltered.
18:35Then Dad spoke.
18:38Yeah, he's decent looking too.
18:41I think Syl actually likes him.
18:46If I had known earlier,
18:48I wouldn't have arranged for Eugene and Rebecca to meet.
18:54Don't overthink it, mom said.
18:58I can't bear the thought of Syl's suffering with him.
19:01Better for Eugene to be with Rebecca.
19:03They match each other.
19:08Besides,
19:09Syl is going to be a pianist.
19:13Even if he's her brother-in-law,
19:15he can still spoil her.
19:18She kept talking,
19:19then lifted her head
19:20and saw me standing on the stairs.
19:23She jolted back a couple of steps in panic.
19:28Rebecca?
19:31What are you doing here?
19:33Mom must have assumed the lights were off
19:35because I was asleep.
19:37Who knew how much of their conversation I had heard?
19:41I ignored the faint sting in my chest
19:43and walked right past her.
19:48I have things to take care of at school.
19:50I'm heading back.
19:52Seeing that I looked calm,
19:53my parents exchanged a glance
19:55and finally relaxed.
19:57Zachariah frowned
19:58when he noticed the suitcase at my side.
20:00You're taking luggage to school?
20:02What?
20:03Are you afraid we'll accountable for Syl's allergy?
20:05Are you planning to run away?
20:08The moment he brought it up,
20:10my parents,
20:11who had looked guilty just seconds earlier,
20:13straightened their backs
20:14and towered over me
20:15with righteous indignation.
20:17Right!
20:18We almost forgot!
20:20Rebecca,
20:21do you realize
20:22Syl ended up in the hospital
20:23because of you?
20:25You won't apologize?
20:27And now you want to walk away?
20:32Do you think you can get off
20:34that easily?
20:38Irritation crept up my spine
20:39when I saw they were worked up
20:40and clearly unwilling to back down.
20:43I pulled out my phone,
20:45dialed Sylvia,
20:46and put the call on speaker.
20:47She was awake now.
20:50At that moment,
20:52she was basking in Eugene's attentive care.
20:54The moment she picked up,
20:56her voice dripped with faux innocence.
20:58Becca?
21:00Why are you calling me?
21:02Did someone tell you
21:03Gino is here?
21:04taking care of me?
21:06Are you upset about that?
21:08The moment Sylvia's voice came through,
21:11my parents and Zachariah both froze.
21:13They could hardly believe that such petty,
21:16spiteful words were coming out
21:17of the mouth of the daughter
21:18and sister they adored.
21:20I didn't care what they were thinking,
21:22nor did I care about Eugene hovering over her.
21:25I said flatly,
21:26hmm,
21:27Eugene's taking good care of you.
21:32Everyone listening was stunned.
21:35Sylvia, too,
21:37sounded confused.
21:39Becca, are you serious?
21:42Of course.
21:44I replied without hesitation.
21:49I don't know what exactly triggered your allergy,
21:53but I'll apologize anyway.
21:54I'm sorry.
21:59Before anyone could react,
22:01I hung up cleanly,
22:03then looked at my family.
22:04Every one of them was dumbfounded.
22:07Can I go now?
22:08I asked calmly.
22:11This time,
22:12no one even tried to stop me.
22:15I didn't bother taking Zachariah's snide remark.
22:18Why aren't you throwing a fit now?
22:20To heart.
22:22Back at school,
22:23I switched my phone to airplane mode
22:25and locked myself in the lab,
22:27working nonstop for 13 straight days.
22:33I didn't step out of the lab
22:34until the day before my departure,
22:36when I finally finished my experiments.
22:41The moment I turned my phone back on,
22:43it exploded with notifications.
22:48There were messages from everyone my family,
22:50Eugene,
22:51and a flood of texts from my friends.
22:55I opened my friend Eleanor Hamilton's conversation first.
23:00She was furious.
23:02She had sent 70 or 80 messages in a row,
23:05all cursing out Eugene and Sylvia.
23:09Then she sent a screenshot from Sylvia's Instagram.
23:15It was a family portrait,
23:16my parents,
23:17Zachariah,
23:18Sylvia,
23:19and even Eugene.
23:20We're in the photo.
23:22He was standing next to Sylvia,
23:25staring at her like a knight guarding his princess.
23:28His eyes were soft and full of devotion.
23:32Sylvia's caption read,
23:34with the people I love most.
23:37The audacity nearly sent Eleanor over the edge.
23:40She ranted endlessly and even commented under the post.
23:45Your sister isn't even there.
23:47It looks like your brother-in-law is taking good care of you.
23:52I soothed her with a few replies before opening the rest of my messages.
24:00Without exception,
24:01every message scolded me for letting Eleanor bully poor Syl.
24:07I apologized one by one.
24:10I apologized one by one.
24:10Just as I was about to lock my phone,
24:12Zachariah called.
24:15Rebecca,
24:15what the hell is going on?
24:16Why haven't we been able to reach you?
24:20You have no idea how worried we have been the past few days.
24:26Right after he said that,
24:28I heard Sylvia's bright,
24:30sugary voice in the background.
24:32Dad, Mom, Jenna,
24:33look at this carousel.
24:34It's so pretty.
24:35So they were at an amusement park.
24:38I asked softly,
24:40worried?
24:42That single word made Zachariah choke up.
24:45It took him a long time to respond.
24:48Well,
24:50yeah,
24:51we couldn't reach you.
24:53If you were around,
24:55you could have come too.
24:58Besides,
24:59it's all your friend's fault.
25:01Sylva's sensitive.
25:02She cried for hours after seeing that comment.
25:04We had to bring her out to cheer her up.
25:06I already apologized.
25:08He went quiet again,
25:10as if he had no idea what to say next.
25:12After a long pause,
25:14he muttered,
25:16Good.
25:17You finally learned to behave.
25:19The next second,
25:20Eugene snatched the phone.
25:23His deep,
25:24annoyed voice cut through the speaker.
25:26Rebecca,
25:26did you tell your friend to leave that comment?
25:29Why is your mind always so dirty?
25:31I've told you so many times
25:33that Sylvia is your sister.
25:36I'm only looking after her for you.
25:38Your whole family does that.
25:39I know you're jealous
25:40because everyone likes Sylve more,
25:42but that's not her fault.
25:46Maybe you should think about
25:47why no one likes you.
25:51My grip on the phone tightened
25:53when I heard him run his mouth like that.
25:57When we first started dating,
25:59I had told Eugene about how my family treated me.
26:03Back then,
26:04he held me and said he would always be on my side.
26:09Now he told me to reflect on why myself.
26:16But I didn't feel sad.
26:18A little over 10 days ago,
26:20back at my parents' place,
26:23I finally learned the truth
26:25that Eugene had never liked me.
26:29He had just been playing a part.
26:33And once the act landed,
26:35he could stay by the woman he actually wanted.
26:38Protect her,
26:39spoil her,
26:40and never let go.
26:42What I thought was fate
26:43had never been anything more
26:45than a script they rehearsed together.
26:51Sometimes I wanted to ask why,
26:54but there was no point.
26:57Love that wasn't there was simply not there.
26:59Whether it was family or romance,
27:01it didn't need a reason.
27:04On the other end of the line,
27:05Eugene started stammering apologies,
27:08clearly realizing he had gone too far.
27:12It didn't matter anymore.
27:16I glanced at the flight information
27:19my colleague had sent me and spoke calmly.
27:27Eugene?
27:30Let's break up.
27:41Just as I was about to hang up,
27:44Eugene suddenly laughed.
27:46He was full of confidence
27:47like he had me completely figured out.
27:51Rebecca,
27:52are you sure you spent so long
27:54preparing for that wedding?
27:55There's no way you actually want to break up.
28:00I sighed.
28:03So you do know I spent a long time preparing.
28:07He seemed convinced I was just throwing another tantrum
28:09and spoke helplessly.
28:11Stop it.
28:13I already told you
28:15that I'll make it up to you.
28:20Acting like this won't work on me.
28:23I didn't have the energy
28:24to explain anything further.
28:26When I heard him and Zachariah
28:28arguing in the background,
28:32I simply hung up.
28:34Then I blocked every number
28:35belonging to my family and to Eugene.
28:42That night,
28:43I slept deeply and had a dream.
28:48In my dream,
28:49a little girl dressed differently
28:51from her siblings sat at a desk,
28:54writing in her diary.
28:56She held a pen
28:57and wrote the number one
28:58in a new notebook,
28:59mumbling to herself,
29:01If it ever reaches 99,
29:03I won't want mom,
29:05dad,
29:06Zach,
29:06or Syl anymore.
29:08She paused,
29:09then crossed out the number
29:10and wrote 0.5 instead.
29:12Mom and dad forgot to buy clothes for me again.
29:14The kids at school laughed at my old outfit.
29:17I felt sad,
29:19but this is the best I have.
29:22Today,
29:23Syl said I stole her things.
29:26Mom and dad beat me.
29:28I didn't steal anything.
29:30I was trying to clean it for her.
29:34Syl wanted garlic butter shrimp.
29:37I cooked it.
29:39Mom and dad forgot I'm allergic to seafood.
29:44My hands swelled.
29:46It hurts a lot.
29:48It's Syl's birthday.
29:49The cake is so pretty.
29:51I want a birthday too,
29:54but mom and dad forgot mine
29:55comes two days earlier.
29:59I watched silently
30:00as she filled the notebook page after page
30:02sometimes listing fractions,
30:04sometimes whole numbers.
30:06She made excuses for her family over and over.
30:09Her face grew increasingly numb.
30:12When the notebook was almost full,
30:14the wedding she had hoped for fell apart too.
30:17The number stopped at 99.
30:19I found myself staring straight into the eyes
30:22of the girl in the wedding dress.
30:24I should have left earlier,
30:26she said.
30:27I nodded,
30:28but it's not too late now.
30:33When I boarded the plane,
30:35all those heavy feelings
30:36I had recorded all the resentment,
30:39disappointment,
30:40and wounds stayed behind on that land.
30:44I threw myself into studying
30:46with everything I had.
30:49Being alone in a foreign country
30:51could feel lonely.
30:52But unlike Sylvia,
30:54I didn't look for someone to complain to.
30:57I used every spare moment
30:59to fill myself up again.
31:00Like a sponge,
31:02I absorbed everything
31:03I'd never had the chance to learn before.
31:05Eventually,
31:06my lab mates begged me
31:07to stop overworking
31:08and forced me to take a break.
31:10I returned to my dorm
31:12and lay on my bed.
31:14While chatting with Eleanor,
31:16she suddenly mentioned my family and Eugene,
31:19sounding gleeful.
31:21Becca,
31:22you won't believe it.
31:23After you left,
31:23Eugene and the Meyer family
31:25practically went crazy.
31:27Crazy?
31:29I murmured.
31:32I typed a casual reply,
31:34impossible.
31:35They don't care about me that much.
31:37Eleanor sent a quick message back.
31:39Who knows?
31:41But apparently,
31:41they've been trying
31:42every possible way
31:43to contact you.
31:45I nodded.
31:46That finally explained
31:48all the recent unknown numbers
31:50calling me.
31:51But since I never answer
31:53unfamiliar calls,
31:54I always ignored them.
31:58It turned out
31:59they were from my family
32:00and Eugene.
32:03As I was thinking this,
32:05another unknown number came in.
32:08I hesitated,
32:10then answered,
32:10to my surprise,
32:11it was mom.
32:12The moment the call connected,
32:14she sounded emotional.
32:16Becca,
32:16you finally picked up.
32:18Where did you run off to?
32:19Why did you block all of us?
32:22We thought something happened to you.
32:25She paused,
32:26then spoke stiffly.
32:29We shouldn't have ignored
32:30your feelings before.
32:32Come home.
32:33We'll celebrate your birthday.
32:37Her sudden change in tone
32:38was too abnormal.
32:40I immediately thought
32:41of the notebook
32:42I had tossed into the trash
32:43before leaving
32:44and figured they must have
32:45fished it out
32:46and read my diary.
32:4799 numbers
32:48and far more than 99 wounds.
32:52No wonder they were suddenly
32:53drowning in guilt
32:54and desperate
32:55to make it up to me.
32:56But what did it change?
32:59Doing something that hurt me
33:01and then coming back
33:02asking for forgiveness
33:03didn't prove they cared.
33:06It only proved
33:07they wanted to soothe
33:08their own conscience.
33:09I said coldly,
33:11no need.
33:12I don't like
33:13celebrating birthdays.
33:16Mom choked on my words
33:18and was left speechless
33:19for a long moment.
33:21When she finally spoke again,
33:22she tried to persuade me
33:24to come home soon.
33:26I looked around
33:27my small dorm room.
33:29It wasn't big,
33:30but everything inside
33:31it was mine.
33:32I had chosen them.
33:35This place was where
33:37I finally felt I belonged.
33:41no need.
33:42I said it calmly,
33:45then hung up.
33:47I had assumed my refusal
33:49that day was clear enough.
33:51But one afternoon,
33:53after finishing my experiments
33:55and stepping out of the lab,
33:57I saw the very last group
33:59of people I wanted to face
34:00standing at the entrance
34:01of my apartment building.
34:05It was dad,
34:07mom,
34:08Zachariah,
34:08and Eugene.
34:11When they saw me,
34:12all of them looked shaken.
34:18Zachariah started toward me,
34:20but Eugene shoved past him
34:22and planted himself
34:23directly in front of me.
34:28He looked haggard,
34:30eyes red,
34:31like he hadn't slept in days.
34:33The old me might have felt
34:34a sting of sympathy.
34:36Now I only felt annoyed.
34:38We already broke up.
34:40Why are you here?
34:41Eugene's eyes reddened even more.
34:44I didn't agree to break up.
34:48We just had a misunderstanding.
34:52A breakup doesn't need your consent.
34:54I said calmly,
34:57then looked toward my family
34:58standing awkwardly to the side.
35:03I heard everything you said that day.
35:05My parents and Zachariah
35:06went pale in an instant,
35:08and even Eugene's eyes widened
35:09as the truth finally hit him.
35:11I continued with the truth
35:13I had pieced together.
35:15Eugene has always liked Sylvia.
35:17You didn't think his family background
35:20was good enough for her?
35:23So you pushed him towards me instead.
35:26That way,
35:27you could still keep someone around
35:29to spoil Sylvia, right?
35:34No, no, that's not...
35:37Mom tried to deny it,
35:40but even she had no strength to argue.
35:44Dad and Zachariah
35:45both lowered their heads.
35:46shame painted across their faces.
35:49As for Eugene,
35:51he rushed to explain himself.
35:54I did like Sylvia in the beginning,
35:56but that was only at the start.
35:58We're about to get married.
36:00How could I not have feelings for you?
36:03I nodded,
36:04as if acknowledging it.
36:06Relief briefly flickered in his eyes.
36:08Then,
36:09I struck cleanly.
36:12but you didn't show up to our wedding,
36:15so we're not getting married anymore.
36:18No,
36:18we can have another wedding.
36:20I already ordered your dress.
36:22It's still from your favorite designer.
36:25I already contacted the wedding planner.
36:27As long as you agree,
36:29we can redo everything.
36:31It'll be even better than last time.
36:34Eugene held my shoulders,
36:37voice hoarse with pleading.
36:39Becca,
36:40please,
36:40just listen to me.
36:42I only take care of Syl,
36:44out of habit.
36:46The person I love is really you.
36:48I never thought you would actually leave.
36:51I was a jerk.
36:54I hurt you.
36:55It's my fault.
36:57I gently pushed his hands off.
37:00His red-rimmed eyes stirred something inside me.
37:03After all,
37:04he was the person who stayed with me
37:05during the loneliest years of my life,
37:07and he was the one who made me believe
37:09I could be loved.
37:11And maybe that was exactly why
37:13I could never forgive him.
37:16Forgiving him would mean betraying the girl
37:18who once waited so desperately for her wedding day.
37:22You love me?
37:24No,
37:24you don't.
37:26Love doesn't look like this.
37:29Love means always feeling indebted.
37:34Not taking advantage of someone's feelings
37:36and hurting them again and again.
37:39Love is two people trying to understand each other,
37:41not one person doing all the giving.
37:45Eugene,
37:47we can't go back.
37:49You know very well what I wanted.
37:51What I wanted was someone who chose me without hesitation.
37:56But he had never done that.
37:58Eugene staggered back like he had been struck by lightning.
38:02He slumped over and covered his face.
38:04It looked like he was crying.
38:06I didn't comfort him.
38:07He was an ex-boyfriend now.
38:09He wasn't worth my energy.
38:11That was all that needed to be said.
38:13As long as he wasn't blocking my path to the dorm,
38:16that was enough.
38:17Just as I turned to go,
38:19my family stopped me.
38:21That was when I recalled there were still three more people I hadn't dealt with.
38:31He's here to beg me to get back together?
38:34What about you?
38:36What are you here for?
38:39Dad exhaled heavily.
38:41Becca,
38:43only when we read your diary did we realize how much you've suffered all these years.
38:48Are you done?
38:50You can go now.
38:51I have things to do this afternoon.
38:53Don't waste my time.
38:55How is this wasting time?
38:56We're apologizing!
38:58Zachariah's voice trembled with frustration.
39:01Just because you're apologizing doesn't mean I have to accept it.
39:04I said firmly.
39:07Zachariah opened his mouth but had nothing to say.
39:11You keep saying you shifted your love for me onto Sylvia.
39:14But why?
39:15I was the one you owed.
39:17She was the one who benefited.
39:19In your house,
39:20I wasn't even as happy as I was living with Grandpa and Grandma.
39:24Now I've left.
39:26I'm far away from you.
39:28We can live our separate lives.
39:30Isn't that better for everyone?
39:34Mom was already sobbing.
39:38Becca!
39:39You're our daughter!
39:41You can't just cut us off like this!
39:44I'd rather not be your daughter.
39:46After saying that,
39:47I turned and walked upstairs,
39:49not bothering to look at the three of them crying in a pathetic little huddle.
39:55During my final year of grad school,
39:57a huge scandal exploded in our overseas student circle.
40:03It turned out that after Sylvia went abroad,
40:06she immediately tossed aside the piano she had bragged so much about.
40:10All the claims about orchestras and teacher recommendations were lies.
40:17She didn't learn anything valuable.
40:19What she did pick up was a chaotic lifestyle and an STD.
40:26Then at some party,
40:27she got involved with things she shouldn't have touched.
40:31To get money from my family,
40:33she lied that she was seriously ill.
40:35My parents and Zachariah rushed over out of worry,
40:39only to walk in on her partying wildly.
40:41Apparently,
40:42she was still high when they confronted her and she snapped.
40:48Aren't I your favorite?
40:49Why would you give money to that bitch Rebecca instead of me?
40:52If you had given me money,
40:54I wouldn't have had to lie!
40:57During the argument,
40:58she became delirious,
40:59grabbed a knife,
41:00and stabbed Zachariah.
41:16His body would never fully recover for the rest of his life.
41:21My parents called it a family disaster and finally cut off her allowance.
41:27Without money,
41:28she slid even further down the wrong path.
41:32She passed her disease to several people,
41:35then returned home looking for someone to take responsibility.
41:39And guess who her target was?
41:41Eugene.
41:46Even though he claimed to love me,
41:49when his first love came knocking,
41:53he didn't refuse.
41:56Except that first love turned out to have an STD.
41:59He got infected too.
42:03What the fuck is that?
42:05Unable to accept what his life had become,
42:08he snapped and stabbed Sylvia.
42:12She stabbed him and he stabbed her.
42:16In the end,
42:18one was dead
42:20and the other one was injured and imprisoned.
42:24I stared at those familiar names and felt nothing but a faint, distant sigh.
42:31Whatever emotions I once had were long gone.
42:34After graduating,
42:36I returned to America and became a key researcher at a pharmaceutical company.
42:40My parents and Zachariah eventually tracked down where I worked.
42:43They tried to visit,
42:45but they never even made it past the front gate because the security stopped them.
42:50And so they lived the rest of their lives in regret.
42:55They regretted never cherishing the girl they once brought home.
43:00and they regretted losing the daughter and sister who once looked at them like they were her whole world.
43:04let's think of the most.
43:05Well,
43:06I am sure about it.
43:06Maybe you don't have to go back,
