FunTranscript
00:02Julian, my online boyfriend, was weird.
00:05He kept sending me pictures of his pet snake and asking if it was handsome.
00:08I wasn't really a fan of snakes, but Julian was great at games,
00:12had a sexy voice, and was ridiculously generous.
00:17So I usually lied through my teeth.
00:19Insanely handsome.
00:20This is the most handsome snake I've ever seen.
00:24You like babe?
00:26Of course!
00:28Satisfied, he transferred me $10,000.
00:31Later, I asked Julian to meet in person.
00:33But when I reached our meeting spot, the only one waiting was that little black snake.
00:37The little black snake was easy to recognize.
00:40Julian sent me pictures of it every day.
00:42This is the front.
00:44This is the back.
00:46This is the side.
00:47By now, I knew exactly what the snake looked like.
00:50Today, it had been carefully dressed in a tiny top hat and bow tie.
00:53But I still recognized it instantly.
00:55The strange part was that Julian was nowhere to be seen.
00:58I thought I was at least pretty cute.
01:00Surely, my face hadn't scared him off so badly that he abandoned his pet and ran.
01:05Maybe he was buying something or taking a call.
01:07I planned to wait at a distance.
01:09But the moment the snake saw me, its emerald green eyes lit up.
01:13The little snake seemed to like me.
01:14I was still scared, but this was my rich, foolish boyfriend's beloved pet.
01:18I had to put on a good show.
01:20I forced myself to sit beside it.
01:22The snake's eyes brightened even more.
01:25It wagged the tip of its tail and quietly moved closer.
01:28Suppressing a scream, I put on my gentlest smile and reached out.
01:32Still, sitting alone with a snake was awkward.
01:35I finally gathered my courage and said,
01:38You're so cute.
01:39A faint blush somehow appeared on its dark little face.
01:43You're even more handsome than your pictures.
01:45The snake became even happier.
01:47It waved its tail at me like it was saying hello.
01:49I fought my fear of reptiles and kept playing with it.
01:52When Julian came back, he would see how loving I was.
01:55Then maybe he'd transfer another $10,000.
02:02But I kept up the act from noon until night.
02:05Inside that expensive restaurant,
02:07I drank three beverages and ate pasta, two salads, and three steaks.
02:12I messaged Julian ten times.
02:14He never replied or showed up.
02:16At midnight, an employee finally approached me.
02:19Ms. Parker, we're closing.
02:21That bastard Julian hadn't stood me up on purpose, had he?
02:25Annoyed, I pulled out my card.
02:26The employee smiled and refused it.
02:29The boss's future wife never has to pay.
02:31She also brought over several gifts Julian had prepared for me.
02:36I understood.
02:37Julian's absence had to be a test.
02:39Rich people loved doing things like this.
02:42He wanted to see whether I was emotionally stable, graceful, and kind-hearted.
02:47Normally, I had none of those noble qualities.
02:49But for someone as rich as Julian, I could have them all.
02:53If this was a test, I was going to ace it.
02:55So when I left, I didn't abandon the snake.
02:58I steeled myself.
02:59Tucked the little snake against my chest and took it home.
03:03Nina Parker, you can do this.
03:04You are going to land Julian Hale.
03:10The snake probably couldn't handle my body heat.
03:13It became dazed and barely seemed conscious inside my clothes.
03:17I found a box and placed it inside.
03:20It finally came around.
03:22But somehow looked disappointed.
03:25I couldn't let Julian's pet die in my care.
03:27I immediately begged everyone I knew for help.
03:30Finally reached a reptile store owner and paid a fortune to have a luxury enclosure set up overnight.
03:36After putting the snake inside, one sentence came to mind.
03:39At last, Mr. Snake climbed into his penthouse-sized bed.
03:43I took a picture and sent it to Julian, who had been missing all day.
03:47He still didn't reply.
03:49Considering he had already given me a million, I let it slide.
03:53I went to shower.
03:55Afterward, I wrapped myself in a towel and checked on the snake.
03:58The moment the snake saw my bare shoulders and legs, it shyly turned away.
04:02Well, look at that.
04:04What a polite little snake.
04:05Now, let me see whether you're a boy or a girl.
04:08Wait.
04:08Male or female?
04:10Whatever.
04:10I wanted to know.
04:11The internet said I could tell by examining somewhere near its tail.
04:15It felt a little invasive.
04:16But I still wanted to look.
04:18Surely one quick examination wouldn't hurt.
04:20Ignoring its protests, I pinned it down and pressed it up its belly.
04:24Wow!
04:25Male with two?
04:26And very gifted.
04:28Seriously impressive.
04:29I gave an appreciative wolf whistle.
04:31The snake struggled so hard that his hat fell off and his bow tie went crooked.
04:35Then he curled into a corner and stared at me in disbelief.
04:38I soothed him for a moment before returning to my bedroom.
04:41Thoroughly satisfied.
04:46Around midnight, Julian finally messaged me.
04:48Babe, I never knew you were so bold and forward.
04:51I knew it.
04:52My performance at the restaurant hadn't been wasted.
04:55Did you like it?
04:55Julian went silent.
04:56I wondered if he had noticed how much I ate.
04:58Did I eat too much?
05:00I typed the question, then deleted it.
05:02I knew better than to volunteer evidence before he brought it up.
05:04Then I could explain that I'd starved myself for days to fit into my prettiest dress.
05:08But Julian finally replied.
05:10I liked it.
05:12So, were you satisfied?
05:14Of course I was satisfied.
05:15Julian had bought me designer jewelry, bags, and countless other gifts.
05:19Of course I was satisfied.
05:20So that was exactly what I told him.
05:22Julian sent me a blushing emoji.
05:23Babe, you're so honest.
05:25I love you so much.
05:26I promise I'll make you happy.
05:28Then came my daily $10,000 transfer, labeled voluntary gifts.
05:32Another effortless 10 grand day.
05:34I punched the air beneath my blankets.
05:36This was the life.
05:37His money had already bought me a supercar and a luxury apartment.
05:40Julian sent another picture of the snake.
05:42Home safe.
05:43The snake sat neatly coiled in Julian's mansion, wearing his hat and bow tie.
05:46Wait, wasn't the snake still at my place?
05:48I went into the living room and discovered he had escaped.
05:51He had slipped outside and found his own way home.
05:53What a smart little snake.
05:55I happily messaged Julian.
05:57Babe, this picture is gorgeous.
05:59It's the most handsome picture you've ever sent me.
06:01Julian was delighted.
06:02I trust your taste.
06:03The next second he changed his profile picture to that photo.
06:06Then he transferred another $10,000.
06:08Now I had made 20 grand in one day.
06:10I happily accepted it.
06:11I already miss you.
06:12After all, the bonus money from one date exceeded half a year of my salary.
06:20After relentless pestering, I convinced Julian to meet me again.
06:23I chose my most ladylike dress, which also happened to show off my figure.
06:28Fresh contacts, upper and lower false lashes, and a full face of makeup completed the look.
06:33But when I reached the cafe, Julian's pet snake was the only one there.
06:37At least he was even more carefully dressed this time.
06:40The little snake wore a custom suit jacket and gold wire frame glasses.
06:44Was he cosplaying a corporate cobra?
06:46No.
06:47That wasn't the point.
06:49Where was Julian?
06:50I finally realized something was wrong.
06:53Was he standing me up again?
06:55As I grew angry, something brushed my palm.
06:58I looked down and saw the tip of the snake's tail.
07:01A beautiful bow had been tied around it.
07:04He looked like a perfectly wrapped gift no one could refuse.
07:08The snake gazed at me with complete sincerity.
07:11The moment I touched his tail, his entire body crawled into my palm.
07:16Aw, what a good baby.
07:18I understood now.
07:20Julian wasn't just looking for a girlfriend.
07:22He was also looking for a mother for his beloved pet.
07:25Since I was kind and unusually tolerant of snakes, Julian had chosen me.
07:29He stayed away because he wanted the snake to choose his own mommy.
07:33Julian truly loved his pet.
07:35That meant my job was to take good care of him.
07:37I straightened his suit, then took him to the park before the movie.
07:41I wanted to talk to him, but suddenly realized Julian had never told me his name.
07:45If I didn't know his name, I would just call him Baby.
07:48Baby, do you like it here?
07:50The snake nodded.
07:52Baby, do you want to go near the water?
07:54He obediently nodded again.
07:58Baby, do you want to come home with me?
08:00The snake hesitated, but only for three seconds.
08:04Then he nodded so hard his whole body shook.
08:07Winning Julian's pet's heart was basically the same as winning Julian.
08:10Feeling smug, I kissed the snake.
08:12His face turned red before he burrowed against my chest and made tiny, happy whines.
08:18Even without my ulterior motives toward Julian, the snake was adorable, handsome, smart, and harmless.
08:25Spending the rest of my life with Julian while caring for him didn't sound bad.
08:28The snake rested obediently against my chest as I took him home.
08:34Julian still hadn't replied, so he was probably busy.
08:38I watched the World Cup with him, then returned him to his luxury enclosure.
08:41Late that night, rustling sounds woke me.
08:44I opened my eyes and found the snake beneath my blankets.
08:47He was sleeping contentedly on my chest.
08:50When I poked him, his tail curled around my fingers.
08:53He seemed to be acting cute, but I had to be responsible for his safety.
08:57I searched online.
08:58Can a snake sleep in the same bed as a person?
09:01The answer was no.
09:03I ignored his hopeful stare and carried him back to the enclosure.
09:08He tried wrapping around me, but I stopped him.
09:11Good babies have to sleep by themselves.
09:14The snake flinched.
09:15Then he crawled into a corner and tucked his head beneath his coils.
09:19I turned to leave.
09:21That was when I heard tiny mer mer mer sobs.
09:26I lifted him and discovered actual pearls of tears falling from his eyes.
09:30But even a crying snake had to sleep alone.
09:32If I rolled over and crushed Julian's pet, my rich wife dreams would die with him.
09:37Still, I couldn't abandon him while he cried.
09:40I kissed and soothed him.
09:42You're the best, baby.
09:44I know you can sleep by yourself.
09:46His body trembled.
09:48Finally, he obediently crawled back into the enclosure.
09:51At last, I could sleep.
09:52I woke to more than 99 messages and dozens of missed calls from Julian.
09:57They started at 4 in the morning.
09:59Babe, I know I rush things, but please don't hate me.
10:01I'm sorry.
10:03Babe, why aren't you saying anything?
10:05Are you angry?
10:07Please answer me, babe.
10:08Countless transfer notifications were mixed among the messages.
10:11I really was a champion sleeper.
10:13Julian probably felt guilty about missing our date and wanted to apologize.
10:17Luckily, I was extremely understanding.
10:20Once my brain came online, I replied,
10:22I'm not angry.
10:23I was asleep.
10:24Julian finally calmed down.
10:28Thank God.
10:29I happily accepted the transfers.
10:31Do you think the snake body is too cold for you?
10:34What kind of question was that?
10:35Snakes were cold-blooded, I replied.
10:37They're fine.
10:39Can you accept that?
10:41Of course.
10:42I climbed out of bed to play with the snake.
10:44He had escaped again.
10:45My God!
10:46My personal ATM.
10:48I told myself he had probably gone home.
10:51I carefully messaged Julian.
10:53Babe, why haven't you sent me a picture today?
11:01Julian stayed silent for a long time.
11:05Had someone caught the snake and turned him into stew?
11:09Just as my world was about to collapse, Julian sent a new picture.
11:13The snake stood elegantly on a grand piano in a custom tailcoat.
11:17I just got him ready.
11:19I checked the time.
11:20Half an hour had passed.
11:22That was one intense quick touch-up.
11:24At least the snake was safe.
11:26Relieved, I began praising him.
11:28He looks gorgeous!
11:29But what did Julian look like?
11:31I was becoming increasingly curious.
11:33When I asked to meet again, Julian replied,
11:36Some business in Europe needs my personal attention.
11:39Wait one more month for me, babe.
11:40I waited an entire month.
11:42Finally, Julian messaged me.
11:44Babe, I'm flying home today.
11:46I waited until someone knocked on my door.
11:49Excited, I opened it, thinking I would finally meet Julian.
11:52No one was there.
11:54Disappointed, I closed the door.
11:55Then someone knocked again.
11:56I opened it impatiently.
11:57Still no one.
11:58I assumed some neighborhood kid was playing a prank
12:00and prepared to politely insult their entire family.
12:03Then I heard hissing beneath me.
12:04I looked down.
12:05It was Julian's pet.
12:06The snake had outdone himself today.
12:08A purple suit hugged his body,
12:09and he had even sprayed himself with cologne.
12:11It gave him a certain charm.
12:12I held out my hand.
12:14The snake happily wrapped himself around me.
12:16Julian hadn't come.
12:17But at least he had sent his pet.
12:19I played with the snake, unable to hide my disappointment.
12:23Eventually, I dozed off on the couch.
12:25Something crawled against my chest.
12:27Whatever.
12:28I was too tired to care.
12:30The front door opened and closed.
12:32Then a piercing scream exploded through my apartment.
12:34Nina, why is there a snake on you?
12:36I jolted awake.
12:36My best friend, Chloe, stared at me in horror.
12:39I was too groggy to react in time.
12:41Before I could stop her or catch the snake,
12:43Chloe sprang into action.
12:44Despite shaking with fear,
12:45my loyal best friend used a broom handle to fling him off me.
12:49Then she raised him again,
12:50preparing to beat him senseless.
12:52This time, I managed to stop her.
12:54With Chloe's strength,
12:55Julian's snake would have become handmade snake meatballs.
12:57I scooped the poor snake off the floor.
13:00He curled against my chest and cried tiny pearls of tears.
13:07My concern for him stunned Chloe.
13:10Nina, weren't you terrified of snakes?
13:12The snake understood pain speech,
13:13so I had to choose my words carefully.
13:16People change.
13:18Besides, my baby is incredibly well behaved.
13:20I can't help liking him.
13:21The snake nodded in my palm and shot Chloe a smug look.
13:25Chloe bristled.
13:26You promised me years ago
13:28that you'd never keep anything weird like this.
13:31She didn't understand.
13:33Times had changed.
13:34I transferred her $4,000.
13:36$4,000.
13:38Her expression brightened instantly.
13:41Now that I look closer,
13:43this little snake baby is pretty cute.
13:45Chloe gathered her courage and reached out.
13:46The snake tossed his head aside,
13:48dodging her hand.
13:50She wasn't offended.
13:51Instead, she started asking about him.
13:54Where did you get him?
13:56He seems really attached to you.
13:58Remember the online boyfriend I told you about?
14:02The one who sends you ridiculous amounts of money?
14:07This is his...
14:13This is his pet snake.
14:15My explanation seemed perfectly clear.
14:17Yet the snake suddenly went rigid.
14:20After a long silence, he looked up at me.
14:23More tears spilled from his eyes.
14:25What was wrong?
14:26Had the spot where he landed started hurting?
14:29Before I could comfort him,
14:30something shocking happened.
14:32The pet snake launched himself through my window and fled.
14:35I raced downstairs.
14:37But he had already disappeared.
14:39Chloe ran after me, panting.
14:42What just happened? Where's the snake?
14:44I wanted to know too.
14:46I called Julian, but he didn't answer.
14:48He ignored my messages as well.
14:51I wanted to go to his house.
14:53But after searching our entire chat history,
14:55I realized I had no idea where he lived.
14:58Chloe looked guilty, so I reassured her.
15:01It's fine.
15:03He's smart.
15:04He can find his own way home.
15:06Chloe glanced at me.
15:07Her expression said,
15:08You don't actually believe that, do you?
15:11I tried contacting Julian all day.
15:13That evening, he finally replied,
15:14I'm sorry.
15:15It turns out I misunderstood.
15:17Misunderstood what?
15:18Why couldn't I understand anything he said?
15:19Were we even having the same conversation?
15:21I bombarded him with question marks.
15:23Julian finally explained,
15:25Babe, I'm not human.
15:26I'm actually a snake shifter.
15:30That snake isn't my pet.
15:31He's my true form.
15:32I thought you knew what I was and had accepted me.
15:35Today, I realized you always thought I was a pet snake.
15:37I panicked and ran.
15:38I wasn't throwing a tantrum.
15:39I was just too stunned to know what to do.
15:42I'm sorry, babe.
15:43I finally understood why characters in fantasy novels never believed the heroine when she claimed she came from another world
15:48and would die if she failed her quest.
15:51Once someone said something like that, my first thought was that they had lost their mind, so I assumed Julian
15:56was messing with me.
15:57Still, I replied patiently.
16:00If you're a snake shifter, shouldn't you be able to take human form?
16:04He answered instantly.
16:05Yes.
16:06Shifters usually live in human form, but I'm currently shedding and can't maintain it.
16:10What a detailed excuse.
16:11I almost believed him.
16:13Julian continued.
16:16I planned to meet you next month after I could become human again.
16:20But you kept asking to meet, so I came in my snake form.
16:24Babe, I never hid my identity from you.
16:33He sounded so certain that I froze.
16:35I scrolled back through four months of the messages to the day I confessed.
16:39For once in my life, I had been brave.
16:42Julian, I like you.
16:44Will you be my boyfriend?
16:46Julian had sent me a picture of the snake.
16:49Are you sure?
16:50I thought keeping reptiles was an unusual but acceptable hobby, so I answered.
16:55I'm sure.
16:56After that, whenever I asked for a selfie, Julian sent snake pictures.
17:00Technically, his story checked out.
17:02But even after rereading everything, I still couldn't believe him.
17:05Who the hell could believe they had been dating a snake?
17:08I would rather believe I was being catfished.
17:10I video called him.
17:12He didn't answer.
17:13I knew it.
17:14He was a scammer.
17:19I was preparing to curse him out when he accepted at the last second.
17:23The screen showed only a black snake with swollen, tearful green eyes.
17:26My mind went blank.
17:28I cautiously asked.
17:29Can you talk?
17:31The snake shook his head.
17:32Then he picked up a pen with his tail and began writing.
17:35I can only speak in human form, babe.
17:38I'm not lying to you.
17:39The entire scene looked AI-generated.
17:41I faced an impossible choice.
17:43Should I believe a snake could write?
17:45Or that I had dated one?
17:46No.
17:47To be precise, I had dated a snake shifter.
17:49I fell silent.
17:50I had countless questions but didn't know where to start.
17:53Finally, I forced one out.
17:54How long does your shedding period last?
17:56The snake's tail hurried across the paper.
17:58Three months.
17:59I'll be able to meet you in human form next month.
18:02I opened my mouth to speak.
18:03But he started writing furiously again.
18:05Please don't break up with me.
18:06I really do love you.
18:11This was too bizarre.
18:13I was ready to buy a bunker and start preparing for the apocalypse.
18:18When I didn't answer, the snake began circling anxiously.
18:22Eventually, he forced himself to calm down and wrote one last message.
18:27Then, he ended the call.
18:29An hour later, the same swollen-eyed snake climbed through my window.
18:34He sat on the windowsill, staring at me mournfully.
18:38I thought of every sad moment in my life.
18:41None of them felt as sad as this.
18:43I had really dated a snake.
18:48The snake pulled out his phone.
18:50Then he transferred $1 million into my bank account.
18:54That was a lot of zeros.
18:55But for the first time, I discovered that I had principles money couldn't buy.
19:01The snake typed another message.
19:03That was honestly a little too progressive for me.
19:06Seeing my troubled expression, he lowered his head and typed again.
19:12You can reject me. I don't want to pressure you.
19:15Please keep the money. I only want you to be happy.
19:18I wanted to say something.
19:20But the snake ran away in tears before I could speak.
19:23He left me standing there in complete chaos.
19:31I was lost.
19:32I didn't know how to face any of this.
19:35It would be a lie to say I felt nothing for Julian.
19:38His companionship had been real.
19:40So were all the moments that made my heart race.
19:43I scrolled through our message history.
19:45We had added each other three years ago.
19:49Julian and I met through an online game.
19:51We worked perfectly together.
19:53So I sent him a friend request and asked him to keep playing with me.
19:56Over time, I learned that Julian was gentle, patient, and extremely generous.
20:02Of course, I wasn't that materialistic.
20:05I fell for him the night my grandfather was hospitalized after a bad fall.
20:09My grandfather had raised me and his injuries were serious.
20:13Julian stayed with me all night.
20:15Afraid I was bothering him, I told him to sleep.
20:18He replied,
20:19How could I sleep peacefully when my Nina is hurting?
20:22That gave me somewhere to release everything I had been holding inside.
20:27I finally told Julian how frightened I was.
20:29He listened and answered every concern.
20:35Then he asked which hospital my grandfather was in.
20:38Julian arranged a private suite and brought in several specialists for consultations.
20:43That was when I understood why vulnerable people clung so desperately to the first lifeline they found.
20:48In that moment, I realized I had fallen for Julian.
20:53I loved him so much that I didn't care what he looked like or how tall he was.
21:01I never expected our biggest obstacle to be his species.
21:05I kept scrolling.
21:07Every message reminded me how good he had been to me.
21:10When I was sad, he comforted me.
21:12When I was happy, he became even happier.
21:15No matter what random nonsense I shared, he always responded.
21:18Even when he was busy, he messaged me the moment he finished.
21:22Anything I casually mentioned wanting soon arrived at my door.
21:25There was no denying that Julian was a wonderful boyfriend.
21:29He just wasn't human.
21:34Eventually, I reached the messages from the day I first asked to meet.
21:38Babe, I really want to see and touch you in real life.
21:42Please meet me.
21:45Julian seemed hesitant.
21:52It isn't convenient for me to go out right now.
21:55When I didn't get what I wanted, I started applying pressure.
21:58Do you not want to see me?
22:01Or do you not love me anymore?
22:07I love you.
22:08Julian answered almost instinctively.
22:11I seized the opportunity.
22:13Then meet me. No more excuses.
22:16I'm afraid you won't like me.
22:17I immediately denied it.
22:19I would never dislike you.
22:21I love you so much that when we meet, I'll kiss you senseless.
22:24Julian went silent for a long time.
22:26Finally, he replied.
22:28Then he added,
22:29You promised.
22:31You have to kiss me when we meet.
22:33I will.
22:34I'll kiss you senseless.
22:38Had I always talked that recklessly?
22:44I suddenly remembered what the snake wore on our first date.
22:47A tiny hat and bow tie.
22:50His scales had been polished until they gleamed.
22:53Julian must have spent ages getting ready.
22:56But I misunderstood everything.
22:58I didn't kiss him as promised.
23:00Instead, I ignored his protests,
23:02examined his body,
23:04and wolf-whistled at him.
23:05From Julian's perspective,
23:07his online girlfriend had forcibly stripped him on their first date.
23:11Suddenly, Earth no longer felt habitable.
23:14Was the universe playing some cruel joke on me?
23:17Our message history ended with the $1 million transfer.
23:20Afraid I wouldn't accept it,
23:22Julian had deposited the money directly into my bank account.
23:26I stared at my balance.
23:27Yet somehow, I felt painfully empty.
23:30I shut myself away for several days.
23:34Chloe noticed something was wrong and came to check on me.
23:37She found me curled up on the couch.
23:39Empty cans, strawberry milk bottles, and iced tea covered the table.
23:43You bought all this and didn't invite me?
23:47Is there any tiramisha left?
23:54Of course, even self-destruction looked ridiculous on someone without real vices.
23:59I was exhausted.
24:03After eating her fill,
24:05Chloe finally remembered why she had come.
24:09Nina, did you lose that man snake and get dumped?
24:12My online lover is actually a snake.
24:15Capable of taking human form!
24:18I tried to find the right words.
24:21We didn't get dumped.
24:23We just ran into a small problem.
24:25Chloe stretched out on the couch and began analyzing my love life.
24:28Is it a deal breaker?
24:32I honestly didn't know.
24:34Eventually, I shook my head.
24:38Do you love him?
24:40I nodded without hesitation.
24:42After a thorough analysis, she reached her conclusion.
24:45Life is short.
24:46If you love him, be brave.
24:52Be brave?
24:53The snake's face appeared in my mind.
24:55What would Julian look like in human form?
24:58Would he be as handsome as his snake form?
25:00Would he look as gentle and adorable as he sounded?
25:04Suddenly, I desperately wanted to know.
25:08I was still hesitating when Chloe pulled me up.
25:13You can't even have a proper breakdown?
25:16I'll buy you eight six-foot, eighteen-year-old male models with eight-pack abs.
25:19I hated noisy places.
25:20In the end, Chloe dragged me to the mall instead.
25:24We happened to run into her younger brother.
25:27Chloe's eyes lit up.
25:28She Venmo'd him $600 and hired him to carry our bags all afternoon.
25:32He carried our bags, bought us boba, and gave us five-star service during dinner.
25:36Afterward, he drove Chloe and me home separately.
25:39The moment I stepped out of his car, I felt someone watching me.
25:42But whenever I turned around, no one was there.
25:50I woke suddenly in the middle of the night.
25:53Instinctively, I looked toward the window.
25:55Sure enough, a heartbroken Julian sat beneath the moonlight.
25:58He was still in snake form.
26:01The moment he saw me awake, he tried to flee.
26:03But I grabbed him first.
26:05Unable to speak, he pulled out his phone and typed an explanation.
26:08I'm sorry, babe.
26:09I wasn't trying to spy on you.
26:10I'm not the kind of snake who ignores boundaries.
26:13I poked his head and pretended to sound fierce.
26:15Then why are you here?
26:17One of my employees said you had someone new.
26:19The snake typed miserably.
26:21Had he sent someone to follow me?
26:25I didn't have anyone follow you.
26:26When we were dating, I showed my employees pictures from your account.
26:32One of them saw you at the mall with that man today and thought you were on a date.
26:37Babe, I...
26:38The snake stopped typing.
26:41He turned away and wiped his tears with his tail.
26:43Only after facing away from me did he finish his question.
26:46Is he good to you?
26:49Julian had clearly imagined an entire relationship.
26:55He trembled and cried as he continued typing.
27:03If he mistreats you, I'll teach him a lesson.
27:08I want you to be happy, babe.
27:11My heart melted at the sight of him crying.
27:13I couldn't bear to let him suffer.
27:17I lifted him into my arms and spoke gently.
27:20He isn't my new boyfriend.
27:23He's Chloe's little brother.
27:25We ran into him, had dinner, and he drove me home.
27:29The snake typed...
27:31Really?
27:32I nodded.
27:33Of course.
27:34Besides, we never broke up.
27:37How could I ever betray you?
27:39The snake looked up at me.
27:41Tears gathered in his eyes, and I gently wiped them away.
27:44What I'm saying is that I accept you.
27:47I accept that you're a snake.
27:49The snake finally understood.
27:51He buried his face against my chest and wrapped his tail tightly around me.
27:54His hissing almost sounded like my name.
27:57Nina. My sweet Nina.
27:59I slept better than I had in days.
28:02When I woke up, I reached against my chest.
28:04The snake was gone.
28:06Damn it!
28:07Had I crushed Julian in my sleep?
28:08I opened my eyes in terror.
28:10Instead, I found a stunning man lying beside me.
28:12His features were sharp, handsome, and almost intimidating.
28:15Then I remembered it was the first day of a new month.
28:17This had to be Julian's human form.
28:24Holy shit!
28:25How is he this handsome?
28:27I had hit the jackpot.
28:29He also wasn't wearing clothes.
28:31Why was he hiding beneath a blanket?
28:34Since he was asleep, I might as well inspect the merchandise.
28:37I pretended to pull the blanket aside by accident.
28:40First came his muscular arms.
28:41Then his solid chest and sharply defined abs.
28:44I wasn't greedy.
28:46I was already satisfied.
28:49But Julian woke up the next second.
28:51He sat up, and the blanket slid down.
28:53Why was everything so overpowered?
28:55My nose started bleeding.
28:58Julian grabbed the blanket in panic, looking exactly like the horrified snake from our first date.
29:03I covered my nose and shut my eyes in despair.
29:05My wild, shameless reputation was permanent now.
29:10Half an hour later, Julian's secretary delivered his clothes.
29:14When I opened the door, he gave me a knowing look.
29:17Mrs. Hale? His clothes are here. I'll leave you two alone.
29:21I grabbed the clothes and fled.
29:24Julian finally got dressed.
29:26Then he quietly asked,
29:28Babe, are you satisfied?
29:35Why did he keep asking me that?
29:37I talked recklessly online, but in real life, I was painfully shy.
29:41Still, even the shyest woman would struggle with Julian.
29:44His body filled out the suit like an elite athlete.
29:47I couldn't stop sneaking glances.
29:48Babe, do you want a touch?
29:51Was I that kind of woman?
29:55Yes.
29:57Julian read me perfectly.
29:59I needed the full hands-on experience.
30:03Wait, was my nose bleeding again?
30:09I finally stopped the bleeding.
30:10The chaos in between didn't deserve to be remembered.
30:14Julian sat properly beside me in human form, handing me tissues.
30:16I gave him a serious explanation.
30:19I've been eating too much spicy food lately.
30:21Julian nodded rapidly.
30:22Of course. I'll get you something cooling.
30:25He returned quickly with iced herbal tea and my favorite coconut slush.
30:31The tea was so bitter it rearranged my face.
30:35But the coconut slush was sweet.
30:37So was Julian.
30:39As I ate, Julian cautiously asked,
30:42Babe, does what you said before still count?
30:44I had said a lot of things.
30:45I had no idea which promise he meant.
30:48Which part?
30:49After you asked me to come home with you,
30:51you said you wanted us to stay together forever.
30:56His beautiful eyes shone as he waited for my answer.
31:00This was my first time meeting human Julian.
31:02But I had known him for years.
31:04I loved him enough to overlook an entire species difference.
31:07There was no reason to reject the simplest promise between two people in love.
31:11I nodded.
31:12Julian kissed my forehead.
31:14His breath tickled my skin.
31:15It made my heart itch too.
31:16I couldn't resist a taste of the forbidden fruit.
31:19Then blood dripped onto my collarbone.
31:20But this time, the nosebleed wasn't mine.
31:23It was Julian's.
31:24He stuffed tissues against his nose, looking as embarrassed as I had hours earlier.
31:28I think I've been eating too much spicy food too.
31:30As he spoke, the blush spread from his cheeks to his ears and neck.
31:34His entire face screamed guilt.
31:37After Julian moved in, I discovered his human form wasn't much different from his snake form.
31:41He looked strong and intimidating, but in private, he was flashy and clingy.
31:45I had never known suits came in so many colors, styles, and combinations.
31:48The most ridiculous part was that Julian ordered two of everything.
31:52One version fit his human body.
31:54The other fit his snake form.
31:59Then he modeled both and demanded that I choose which looked better.
32:04The first time, I chose his human form.
32:07Julian immediately asked,
32:08Babe, are you still bothered that I'm a snake?
32:13It took me forever to reassure him.
32:15So the next time, I chose his snake form.
32:19Julian looked wounded again.
32:22Babe, are you unhappy with my human body?
32:27I became so angry that I slapped him.
32:31Julian smiled.
32:32Crap.
32:33I had opened the door to a whole new world.
32:36He started following me around, begging me to slap him again.
32:39Dammit, I wasn't that kind of person.
32:42When I refused, Julian racked his brain for another solution.
32:45Eventually, he found one.
32:48Whenever he got too rough at night, I would slap him.
32:51Only then would he hold me contentedly and fall asleep.
32:56Wifey, you smell so good.
32:59I once asked Julian,
33:01Why did you choose me?
33:03He answered without thinking,
33:05Anything I choose is the best.
33:09Fine.
33:11I would take that to mean I was the best.
33:12I would take that to mean I was the best.
33:14I was the best.
33:21I was the best.
