00:00In my town, newlyweds have to board a boat together at sunset.
00:03There were only eight minutes left until sunset.
00:05My fiancé, Ethan, finally arrived on his boat.
00:08Hurry up! You only have eight minutes left!
00:11Come on, groom! Get your wife off the boat!
00:13Wait, Ethan! The bottom of my dress is wet!
00:16Don't worry, Lena. I'll get off as soon as I dry my dress.
00:19I won't hold you guys up.
00:20Why are you worrying about a dress right now? The sun is about to set!
00:24Help me check where it's wet.
00:25We shouldn't make Lena wait. There are only eight minutes left.
00:29We still have eight minutes. What's the rush?
00:33Mom, my phone, please.
00:35I sent a text to someone else.
00:36Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? I'll give you eight minutes.
00:43Ethan, here. There's still a little bit here. I just stepped in a puddle.
00:46If I stand on the boat like this, will it bring bad luck?
00:49Don't move. Let me look.
00:49Ethan! Let the bride get on the boat first!
00:51Yeah, there are only eight minutes left until sunset.
00:54Ethan, the sun is about to set.
00:56I heard you.
00:57Then what are you doing?
00:59Lena, don't get the wrong idea. I really didn't mean to. I'm just scared I'll ruin your big day.
01:05If you know you're ruining it, then get off right now!
01:07Aunt Margaret, please don't be angry. I'll be done soon. Ethan said it would be quick.
01:12Aunt Margaret, stop rushing her. She's already so stressed. If you keep yelling at her, she'll panic even more.
01:18She's panicking? Lena is the one getting married today.
01:21I watched them. I suddenly remembered last year. I got into a minor car accident. I was waiting for Ethan
01:26to pick me up at the hospital. Ethan had promised to stay with me at the hospital, but Sasha sent
01:30a message in our group chat. She said her stomach hurt so bad. That night, I took a cab home
01:35by myself.
01:36Sasha is a girl. She needs someone to look after her when she's sick. You need to be more chill
01:40about this.
01:41Back then, I still made excuses for him. I told myself he was just soft-hearted. Now, a message from
01:47the other guy sat on the screen. It said, I'll be on time.
01:51Six minutes left.
01:55Okay, okay. I'll get off right now. Really, right now.
02:00I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I just lost my balance.
02:04Look at the time.
02:05The bride is still on land. Why is she hugging him first?
02:08This is ridiculous.
02:09Lena, we can't wait any longer. Tell him clearly. Make him come over right now.
02:15Ethan, I'm saying this one last time. Help me onto the boat first.
02:19Didn't you see her almost fall? Do you really have to make a big deal out of this right now?
02:23I'm making a big deal? Who is getting married today?
02:26Lena, Sasha is just trying to help. Do you really have to embarrass her in public?
02:30It's all my fault. I shouldn't have come.
02:33Lena, if you're angry, I'll jump into the water right now.
02:37Don't say that.
02:38I looked at her. So many memories flashed through my mind. She called him in the middle of the night.
02:43She said she had a nightmare. She made him go over to comfort her. On the day we got engaged,
02:47she got drunk on purpose. She leaned on his shoulder. She cried and said she couldn't let
02:51him go. Even when I went wedding dress shopping, she insisted on coming along.
02:56She chose a white dress that looked just like my wedding gown. She said they looked better
03:00standing next to each other that way. And every single time Ethan took her side. He said she was
03:05innocent. He said I was too sensitive. He told me I shouldn't compare myself to her.
03:12Four minutes left, Ethan. I will get on the boat at sunset.
03:17What are you throwing a tantrum for now?
03:19I paid the payment for our new home. I stayed up late to plan almost every detail of this wedding.
03:24But today, he was willing to waste our sunset just to comfort her.
03:29Bride and groom, we're running out of time. You have to get on the boat right now. If you wait
03:32any longer, you'll miss the sunset.
03:34Ethan, what are you waiting for? Get Lena on the boat first.
03:37You only get one sunset. Who's going to take the blame if you miss it?
03:40Ethan, today is not a game. You and Lena have been together for years. Don't embarrass her now
03:44that the wedding has come this far. If Sasha had any decency, she'd get off the boat on her own.
03:49Uncle Robert, Aunt Margaret, don't blame Ethan. It's all my fault. My dress got wet and I almost
03:54fell. Ethan was just worried about me. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. If Lena misses the sunset
04:00because of me, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life. Uncle Robert, Aunt Margaret,
04:05Sasha already feels bad enough. Stop pressuring her. My father took an angry step forward,
04:09but he forced himself to stop. The venue was full of guests today. The boat, the music,
04:13and the photographers were all ready. The wedding had come this far. No one could afford to lose
04:18face. Ethan, I'm begging you. Let Lena on the boat first. Mom, don't beg.
04:28I'm boarding the boat when the sun sets.
04:32See? Lena said herself she'll get on the boat at sunset. What's the rush? It's only a few minutes.
04:38Wedding has come this far. What else can you do? Yes, yes. He was so sure. He was sure I
04:43love
04:43him too much to leave. He was sure I had no choice but to marry him. After all, I invited
04:48the guests. I decorated the venue. I put on the wedding dress. He was sure I would bow
04:52my head before sunset. It didn't matter how hurt or embarrassed I was.
04:56Mr. Ethan, we can't delay this any longer. The water show, the music, and the cameras are
05:01all timed perfectly. If we miss the sunset, everything will be ruined.
05:05Groom, help the bride up first. It'll be too late to take photos soon.
05:08The boat is scheduled to start at sunset. If we're late, the currents will make it hard to sail.
05:15Lena, you go first.
05:18Ethan, I think I sprained my ankle.
05:22I think I missed my step just now. I didn't want to say anything, but it really hurts.
05:28Which foot? Let me see.
05:30Mr. Ethan!
05:31Don't rush him. He didn't do it on purpose. If he ignores me now, I'll feel even worse.
05:37The more she acted like this, the more Ethan felt trapped. He frowned deeply.
05:41I can handle the pain. Just focus on your wedding first.
05:47What is going on here?
05:49The bride is standing on the shore, but the groom is comforting another girl on the boat.
05:53Is Ethan crazy?
05:54There was only one minute left until sunset.
05:58Ethan.
05:59What now?
05:59The sun is about to set. Are you going to help me onto the boat or not?
06:03The crowd went dead silent. Even my mother held her breath. This was his last chance.
06:12But Ethan only frowned. He looked at my face for a second. Then he looked back at Sasha's red ankle.
06:18Do you have to force me to choose right now? Sasha's foot is hurt. I can't just leave her.
06:23It's only a minute or two. Can't you just wait?
06:26Lena, don't blame him. He's just soft-hearted. He'd do this for anyone who got hurt.
06:32Right. He wouldn't do this for anyone else.
06:36Only for her.
06:38She was the only one who could make him lose his mind like this.
06:41The sun has set!
06:42Almost at the same time, there was a loud splash in the river. Everyone turned around. Another boat cut through
06:48the water. It headed straight for the shore. White ribbons fluttered at the bow. A man sat on the boat
06:54in a wedding suit. He was tall and straight.
07:00Ethan froze. His face changed instantly. He finally realized something was wrong.
07:05He stood up quickly. He stared at the approaching boat.
07:08Who is that?
07:10Who is that?
07:11I don't know, but he's so handsome.
07:12He's on wedding suit.
07:13Is he a guest? Or...
07:15The person who was here to pick me up.
07:17Lena, what do you mean by this?
07:20The boat slowly docked. His eyes were fixed on me. His name was Julian. He was the one who replied
07:26to my text with just four words. I'll be on time.
07:29Ethan, what's going on?
07:31Are you crazy? The wedding has come this far, and you're pulling this on me?
07:35Stop right there. Uncle Robert, this is between Lena and me.
07:41You know it's between you and Lena? Then what were you doing just now?
07:45You left my daughter on the shore in front of everyone. Now you have the nerve to ask her what
07:51she means?
07:55Julian's boat stopped smoothly. He didn't rush off the boat. He was waiting for me to make my choice.
08:01Lena, stop right there!
08:03Ethan, don't touch her.
08:04Who the hell are you?
08:06The person who was here to pick her up today.
08:08Lena, come back right now. I can still pretend none of this happened.
08:13Pretend none of this happened?
08:14Yes. You're my bride today. As long as you stop making a scene, I won't hold a grudge.
08:20My mother shook with anger.
08:21Do you want to get on the boat now?
08:23Yes.
08:24I placed my hand in his palm.
08:27The crowd gasped.
08:31Ethan's face changed completely.
08:38Lena, do you really dare to do this?
08:42Why wouldn't I dare?
08:43Don't forget. The invitations have our names on them.
08:45The guests are here for us. The whole wedding was planned for us.
08:48If you switch grooms now, who is going to clean up this mess?
08:51I will.
08:57You'll clean up this mess?
08:58Do you know how many people are here today?
09:00Do you know both of our families are here?
09:03Do you know what it means to miss this part of the wedding?
09:05At least I would never make her stand on shore, watching you comfort another woman.
09:13I told you, Sasha just sprained her ankle.
09:15She sprained her ankle.
09:17She didn't stop breathing.
09:18And just now, your own bride mattered less to you than her wet skirt.
09:25Lena, I know you hate me, but I really didn't mean to ruin your wedding.
09:30You didn't mean to?
09:31You said you had a nightmare.
09:33You made him leave me at the hospital after my car accident.
09:37Did you not mean to do that?
09:39What about our engagement day?
09:40You cried on his shoulder.
09:42You said you couldn't let him go.
09:43Did you not mean to do that either?
09:45Or what about today?
09:46You got your skirt wet.
09:47You pretended to lose your balance.
09:49You pretended to sprain your ankle.
09:50You delayed us over and over.
09:52Did you not mean to do that too?
09:53You didn't mean to?
09:54This is just too ridiculous.
09:56No wonder the bride was switching grooms.
09:58Lena, that's enough.
09:59She...
10:01See?
10:02Even now, your first instinct is to protect her.
10:10He was speechless.
10:11So what are we supposed to do now?
10:13Yeah, exactly.
10:13What do we do?
10:14The wedding planner finally snapped out of her shock.
10:16Her forehead was covered in sweat.
10:18Her voice shook.
10:19What?
10:19What do we do now?
10:21The sun is setting.
10:22If we wait any longer, it'll really be too late.
10:24Are we still getting on the boat?
10:29Yes.
10:30Lena!
10:31Everyone looked at him.
10:33I didn't look back and stepped onto Julian's boat.
10:35The boat rocked slightly.
10:37The music paid playing again.
10:39Ethan's voice came from the shore.
10:40It was deeper and more urgent.
10:42If you leave, we are completely over!
10:44We are completely over!
10:46I paused.
10:47Then I kept walking forward without looking back.
10:50Over is over.
10:51I didn't want this anymore anyway.
10:57The shore was in chaos as the boat pulled away.
11:03I heard the faint arguments behind me, but my heart was surprisingly calm.
11:08Julian didn't ask any questions.
11:10It's windy.
11:13For what?
11:14For being on time.
11:15You gave me eight minutes.
11:17I couldn't let you lose.
11:19His words made my nose sting.
11:21I turned my head away.
11:22I tried to keep my voice steady.
11:24Aren't you scared?
11:26Scared of what?
11:27Scared of the mess.
11:28Scared of what people will say.
11:30Scared of the trouble later.
11:31I was only scared you'd change your mind at the last second.
11:33I was already on my way when you texted me.
11:36But I didn't believe it until I saw you walk toward me.
11:38I finally believed you were really done with him.
11:41I was really done.
11:42I wasn't acting out of anger.
11:44I wasn't testing him.
11:45I wasn't trying to force Ethan to bow his head.
11:48I had completely given up on him.
11:50The boat docked at the other side of the venue.
11:52The wedding team was busy adjusting the schedule.
11:55The wedding planner was sweating, but she looked much calmer than she did on the shore.
12:00Miss Lena, I'll go over the schedule again.
12:02We can still make this work.
12:04Thanks for your hard work.
12:05The wedding planner was surprised.
12:07She probably didn't expect him to be so calm in this situation.
12:10She quickly went back to coordinate.
12:15You were prepared for this?
12:17Not really.
12:18But you asked me last night.
12:20You asked if I'd dare to show up if you wanted to switch grooms on your wedding day.
12:24Last night?
12:25I actually sent him that message with just a tiny, crazy hope.
12:29Julian and I hadn't known each other for long.
12:31We met through work.
12:32He was a man of few words.
12:34He was reliable.
12:35He drove me home sometimes, but he never crossed the line.
12:38Later, I had a few breakdowns while planning the wedding.
12:41He would listen to me quietly on the phone.
12:43Then he would remind me to eat first.
12:45I never thought things would come to this.
12:48But last night, Sasha called Ethan out again.
12:52She claimed she had pre-wedding anxiety.
12:55I sat alone in our new home.
12:58I suddenly felt like this was all so ridiculous.
13:01Julian only asked me one question back then.
13:04Do you really want to marry him?
13:06Or are you just sad to waste all those years?
13:09I couldn't answer.
13:10I didn't find the answer until today.
13:13I stood on the shore, watched Ethan ignore me over and over for Sasha.
13:17I finally knew.
13:19I wasn't just sad about the wasted years.
13:22I was finally awake.
13:26Just then, a louder commotion came from below the stage.
13:30I looked back out of instinct and saw Ethan had actually followed us here.
13:34He hadn't even fixed his jacket.
13:36His hair was messy from the wind and his face was incredibly pale.
13:39I felt absolutely nothing.
13:41I only heard the guests gasping around us.
13:43He actually followed her?
13:45This is going to be a huge scene.
13:47Ethan walked straight towards me.
13:48He didn't even look at Julian.
13:50Come back with me.
13:51She's not going back.
13:53Julian, you're taking advantage of this mess.
13:56At least I didn't embarrass her in public.
14:00Lena, stop acting up.
14:02You're just mad because I took care of Sasha for a few minutes.
14:05Did you really have to go this far?
14:07I suddenly realized he still didn't get it.
14:09You think it's just about those few minutes?
14:11Isn't it?
14:12No.
14:13It's because of every single time.
14:18He froze.
14:19I spoke word by word.
14:20When I got into a car accident, you went to be with her.
14:23On the day we got engaged, you were still by her side, leaving me all alone.
14:27When I stayed up until two in the morning planning our wedding, all you said was,
14:30Sasha's upset.
14:32I need to stay with her.
14:33And today, everyone kept saying the sun was setting and it was time for the bride to get
14:37on the boat, but you were the only one who thought I should wait, wait for you and Sasha
14:42to finish dealing with that stupid dress.
14:44With every word I said, the stubbornness in his eyes faded a bit, but he still tried to
14:49act tough.
14:50Those were all just small things.
14:54Small things?
14:56So to you, all the pain I went through was just a small thing?
15:01His breath hitted.
15:03He seemed to finally realize how heavy those words were.
15:06But before he could speak again, the elders' voices came from the other side of the stage.
15:11Is the ceremony still happening?
15:13If the couple don't come over, the guests won't stay seated.
15:17Julian, Lena, we really have to keep going.
15:20Do you want to deal with him first?
15:21Or should I have someone ask him to leave?
15:23Ethan stared at me.
15:24He seemed to be waiting for me to give him one last chance.
15:29Ask him to leave.
15:30Ethan looked like he couldn't believe his ears.
15:33His voice was raspy.
15:34Lena, you're kicking me out?
15:35I didn't answer.
15:37The security guards walked over.
15:39They looked awkward, but they still made a polite gesture.
15:42Mr. Ethan, please leave.
15:44The guests' stares felt like needles on him.
15:47If this were the past, I probably would have softened.
15:49But now, I only felt exhausted.
15:51Ethan didn't move.
15:53He stared at my face.
15:54He tried to find any sign of softening in my eyes.
15:57But there was none.
15:58After a long time, he let out a low laugh.
16:01His smile was freezing cold.
16:04Fine, Lena.
16:07You really want to take this to the extreme, don't you?
16:10I'm not the one who took things too far.
16:15He looked stung, finally exploding.
16:17Not you!
16:18I just took care of Sasha for a second, and you replaced me in public?
16:22You made me lose face in front of everyone, and you still think you're the victim?
16:27You just took care of her?
16:28Wasn't I?
16:29I looked at him.
16:30I actually felt a bit of sadness.
16:32Even now, he still thought the problem was just about a few minutes.
16:35He still thought I should just swallow all the humiliation.
16:38He thought I should do it as long as the wedding went on.
16:41I stopped arguing with him.
16:43I turned to the wedding planner.
16:45Let's continue.
16:46The wedding planner looked relieved.
16:48She quickly went to signal the band.
16:49The music started playing again.
16:51But the atmosphere was completely different now.
16:53Ethan stood there.
16:54He watched Julian and me walk toward the altar side by side.
16:57His face turned paler by the second.
16:59He didn't seem to snap out of it until I brushed past him.
17:02He grabbed my wrist.
17:03Think carefully.
17:04If you finish this ceremony with him today, there's no going back.
17:11I looked down at his hand on my wrist.
17:13I used to want him to care about me like this.
17:16Just once would have been enough.
17:18But it was too late now.
17:20Then let's not go back.
17:24My words finally froze him in place.
17:27I didn't look at him again.
17:28I walked onto the stage with Julian.
17:30The wedding planner had obviously changed her script on the spot.
17:34On this beautiful day, after many twists and turns, our couple is finally united.
17:38There were still whispers from the crowd.
17:39But as the ceremony went on, people's attention slowly shifted back.
17:43Julian was very steady the whole time.
17:45He looked like he could handle anything.
17:47When we exchanged rings, he whispered to me.
17:50Are your hands still shaking?
17:53A little.
17:55Don't worry.
17:56I'll handle the rest.
17:57His voice was so quiet only I could hear.
18:00But those simple words made me relax.
18:02I had been tense all night.
18:04Someone in the crowd started clapping.
18:06I knew some people were just watching the drama.
18:08Some were shocked.
18:09Others were just impressed by Julian's calm attitude.
18:12But at least, no one was forcing me to go back anymore.
18:15The moment the ceremony ended, I looked down at the crowd.
18:19Ethan was still standing there.
18:21His face was incredibly pale.
18:23He stared at the ring on my finger.
18:25He looked like he was finally realizing something.
18:28I was no longer his fiancé.
18:30I was someone else's bride now.
18:38At that moment, his anger turned into panic.
18:41He even looked a little scared.
18:45Julian took me to the lounge after the wedding.
18:48The moment the door closed, the noise outside faded.
18:51I leaned against the door.
18:53I felt completely drained.
18:55Julian poured a glass of warm water.
18:57Drink some water first.
19:00I took it.
19:01My hands slowly warmed up.
19:05Do you regret it?
19:10No.
19:11He looked at me to make sure.
19:12Then he spoke softly.
19:15That's good.
19:17What about you?
19:18What?
19:19Do you regret it?
19:20I dragged you into a huge mess today.
19:22Julian was silent for a moment.
19:24Then he smiled.
19:27Lena, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
19:30I froze.
19:30He didn't say anything else.
19:32He gently pulled my veil back over my shoulder.
19:34It's still messy outside.
19:36I'll go handle it.
19:37Rest for ten minutes.
19:39I'll come back to get you.
19:43Mr. Ethan, you can't go in there.
19:45Get out of my way!
19:48The lounge is a private area for the couple!
19:50Julian's face darkened.
19:51He was about to go outside.
19:53I'll go with you.
19:54We opened the door.
19:56Ethan was being blocked by two staff members.
19:58He had completely lost control.
20:00His eyes lit up the moment he saw me.
20:02Lena!
20:03Is there something else?
20:04He looked at me.
20:05He swallowed hard.
20:07He seemed to swallow his pride before speaking.
20:09Let's talk.
20:10There's no need.
20:11He took a step forward.
20:13His eyes were bloodshot.
20:14Just for a few minutes.
20:15Everything was too messy today.
20:17You're angry.
20:18And I didn't explain things clearly.
20:20Let's just talk.
20:21What do you want to explain?
20:22Sasha and I aren't what you think.
20:27I smiled.
20:28Then what are you?
20:29He choked on his words.
20:30He seemed to realize how empty his excuse sounded.
20:33I admit I ignored you today.
20:34But Sasha and I grew up together.
20:35She's always been fragile.
20:36She panics easily.
20:37I'm just used to taking care of her.
20:39Used to it.
20:40So as your bride, I was supposed to step aside for your habit?
20:43That's not not what I meant.
20:45Then what did you mean?
20:46His face was tight.
20:47Lena, I always intended to make you my wife.
20:50Even Julian looked up slightly when he said that.
20:52But I only found it funny.
20:54I was always going to make you my wife.
20:55So it didn't matter how much you chose her.
20:57It didn't matter how much you ignored me.
20:59I was just supposed to understand.
21:01Is that it?
21:04I-
21:04Ethan, you still don't get it.
21:06I never wanted someone who would just marry me in the end.
21:09I wanted someone who would choose me first.
21:12Every single time.
21:14He was completely speechless.
21:16I had given him so many chances.
21:17Every time he left me to go to Sasha.
21:19Every time he told me to be understanding.
21:21Every time I forced myself to wait just a little longer.
21:24But he never looked back.
21:26Now that I was done waiting, he was panicking.
21:28It was so ironic.
21:30Ethan stared at me.
21:32His voice got quieter.
21:33Did you plan to switch grooms a long time ago?
21:36Yes.
21:38When?
21:39Last night.
21:40Just because I went to see Sasha last night?
21:43I looked at him quietly.
21:45See?
21:46You still only see her.
21:48His breath hitted.
21:50Julian spoke up.
21:51His voice was steady.
21:53Ethan, that's enough.
21:54She needs to rest now.
21:56Ethan glared at him.
21:57His eyes were full of anger.
21:59This is between her and me.
22:01Shut up!
22:01She's not your fiancé anymore.
22:07His words cut like a knife.
22:09Ethan's face turned even paler.
22:11He probably finally realized something.
22:13He had lost the right to stand by my side.
22:15It happened the moment we stood on that stage.
22:17But people are always like this.
22:18They only care when they actually lose you.
22:21He stood there.
22:22He was silent for a long time.
22:24When did you two even start?
22:26We didn't.
22:27You married him without even starting?
22:28Because at least he wouldn't make me stand on the shore.
22:31He wouldn't make me watch him comfort another girl.
22:33The last bit of Ethan's stubbornness shattered.
22:35He looked like he was hit hard.
22:37He feed him a spoke and a low.
22:39I can change.
22:40I look up.
22:41This was the first time he ever said those words to me.
22:44If this happened in the past, I would have softened completely.
22:47But now, I only felt it was late.
22:50It was too late.
22:52I spoke calmly.
22:53I don't need it anymore.
23:00Ethan panicked completely.
23:02He took a step forward.
23:03Why don't you need it?
23:05We've been together for so many years.
23:08How can you just throw it all away?
23:11Because I was the only one trying to keep us together.
23:14I wasn't!
23:15You were.
23:17You were just used to it.
23:19You were used to me bowing my head.
23:23You were used to me waiting for you.
23:25You were used to me never leaving.
23:27By the end, he stood frozen in place.
23:30Julian placed my hand on my shoulder.
23:32His movement was gentle, but it was enough to show where he stood.
23:36Ethan, please leave.
23:37Ethan stared at the hand on my shoulder.
23:39His eyes grew darker.
23:41He didn't try to force his way in again.
23:43He just stared at me.
23:44His voice was very rasky.
23:46Did you choose him today just to spite me?
23:48Or do you actually like him?
23:51No.
23:53I stayed silent for a second.
23:55Then I spoke.
23:57At least now, I don't want to make the wrong choice again.
23:59I didn't answer him directly.
24:01But it was enough.
24:02The light in Ethan's eyes went completely out.
24:05He finally turned and left.
24:06His back looked surprisingly defeated.
24:09I watched him leave.
24:10I didn't feel as happy as I thought I would.
24:12I only felt exhausted after a long struggle.
24:15But I also knew Ethan's personality.
24:17He wouldn't let go so easily.
24:19And I was right.
24:20That night, I had just arrived at the place Julian arranged for me.
24:23My phone rang.
24:24It was Sasha.
24:25The moment the screen lit up, I wanted to hang up.
24:27But I answered it anyway.
24:28She was crying hysterically on the other end.
24:30Lilina, you won.
24:31Are you happy now?
24:32I won?
24:32Sasha, are you confused about something?
24:34Everyone is calling me names today.
24:35They're saying I'm a homewrecker.
24:36They're saying I delayed the wedding on purpose.
24:38But I didn't do anything.
24:39I'm just really dependent on Ethan.
24:41I only think of him as a brother.
24:42A brother?
24:43What kind of sister wears a white dress and steps onto her brother's wedding boat at sunset?
24:51Lena, why do you always think the worst of me?
24:53I know you've never liked me.
24:54But you married someone else today.
24:56Ethan is the one who is embarrassed the most.
24:58You know how proud he is.
25:00So?
25:01So go talk to him and explain things, okay?
25:03Just tell him you were acting on impulse today.
25:05Tell him you didn't really mean to leave him.
25:07As long as you say that, he'll definitely forgive you.
25:10Sasha, are you still confused?
25:12I wasn't the one left behind today.
25:13I was the one who threw him away.
25:15Lena, don't get too ahead of yourself.
25:16Ethan is just mad at you right now.
25:18Once he calms down, do you really think he won't be able to let you go?
25:21That's his business.
25:22And one more thing.
25:23Don't call me again.
25:24I have no interest in hearing about you two.
25:26You-
25:28My phone went quiet.
25:30But I didn't feel relieved.
25:32I knew Sasha's call wasn't the end.
25:34It was just the beginning.
25:35Sure enough, the news spread the next morning.
25:38Someone took a video and posted it online.
25:41The title was dramatic and eye-crapping.
25:43Ethan's family called my father first.
25:49My father threw his cup in anger.
25:51They still have the nerve to call.
25:54I rushed over.
25:55My mother was sitting on the couch, wiping her tears.
25:58Lena, Ethan's family said you were being childish.
26:00They said you embarrassed both families.
26:03They want to know if you still want to be in this relationship.
26:05Did Ethan say that?
26:06The last bit of hope in my heart died completely.
26:09Mom, this is over.
26:10I'm not going back.
26:11I know.
26:12After what happened yesterday, even I was heartbroken for you.
26:14It's just, people will gossip.
26:15Can you handle it?
26:19Your mother and I are sorry.
26:21We just wanted to get through the wedding yesterday.
26:23We were scared of losing face.
26:24We were scared of offending people.
26:26We forgot that you were the one hurting the most.
26:29Dad, I don't blame you.
26:34I leak of the house at noon.
26:36I saw a familiar car parked by the road soon as Gare out.
26:39He'd been have been waiting for a long time.
26:41He'd dark circles utter his eyes.
26:43Lena, I want to talk to you alone.
26:44There's no need.
26:45Just ten minutes.
26:46We said everything we needed to say yesterday.
26:48No, we didn't.
26:49What my family did wasn't my idea.
26:50Then whose idea was it?
26:54My mother's.
26:55And you didn't stop her?
26:57I looked at him.
26:58Suddenly, I understood everything.
27:01Get out of the way.
27:02Can't you just listen to me finish?
27:05She said, get out of the way.
27:10Julian, are you following me?
27:12I'm here to pick up my wife.
27:15You sure adapted fast.
27:17At least I face reality faster than you do.
27:20Do you really plan to stay with him?
27:23Yes.
27:23Do you even know him?
27:25It's better than marrying you after knowing what you're really doing.
27:30Lena, I didn't know you saw me that way.
27:32Get in the car first.
27:34Lena, I broke things off with Sasha.
27:37I'm serious.
27:38I made it clear to her last night I won't help her with anything anymore.
27:41You hated her, right?
27:41I won't ever see her again.
27:43For the first time, I saw a desperate look in his eyes.
27:46He looked almost humble, but I didn't feel a thing.
27:49You still don't get it.
27:52I was never mad at Sasha.
27:53I was mad at you.
27:54You knew it hurt me.
27:56But you still chose her over and over again.
27:58I won't do it again.
27:59But I don't want to wait for your again anymore.
28:01The moment the door closed, I looked through the window.
28:04Ethan stood there.
28:05He looked completely drained of energy.
28:09Did you soften up?
28:12No.
28:16That's good.
28:19Aren't you going to ask why I paused?
28:21Because you were saying goodbye.
28:22To let go completely, you need a moment of closure.
28:27Yes, at that moment, I was indeed saying goodbye.
28:31I was saying goodbye to that relationship.
28:34I had given it my all, but I was never his first choice.
28:37I was also saying goodbye to my old self.
28:39The self that always told me to endure just a little longer.
28:42Over the next few days, Ethan started showing up constantly.
28:44He seemed to finally realize I wouldn't come back easily.
28:47He would wait downstairs at my apartment.
28:49He would have people deliver desserts I used to like.
28:51He would send very long messages.
28:53He said he had thought a lot lately.
28:54He admitted he had ignored me in the past.
28:56He said it wasn't that he did not love me.
28:58He was just too used to me being there.
28:59The last message came in at midnight.
29:06When I wanted it most, he didn't give it to me.
29:09Now that I didn't want it, he said he wanted to make it up to me.
29:13But feelings aren't a bill.
29:14You can't just pay them off later.
29:16I didn't reply.
29:18Someone is downstairs looking for you.
29:20I think it's your ex.
29:20I went downstairs.
29:22Ethan was standing in the lobby.
29:23He was holding a bouquet of flowers.
29:25They were white roses.
29:26They used to be my favorite.
29:28I remember you like these.
29:30I used to.
29:31Can you stop being so cold?
29:32Is there really nothing left between us?
29:34There was.
29:36Then why can't you trust me one more time?
29:38Just for the sake of our past.
29:39Ethan, have you ever thought about why you can't let go?
29:43It's not because you suddenly love me so much?
29:46When I was there, you knew I wouldn't leave.
29:49So you could take your time.
29:51You could put others first.
29:52You could make me wait.
29:54Now that I'm not waiting, you're finally panicking.
29:58You don't love me so much that you can't live without me.
30:01You're just losing someone who loved you unconditionally for the first time.
30:07I turned and walked away.
30:08I didn't hear any footsteps behind me for a long time.
30:11I knew I had hit the nail on the head this time.
30:13The real punishment was never about seeing him look pathetic.
30:15It was about making him realize exactly what he had lost.
30:18Are you happy now?
30:19Ethan won't even take my calls anymore.
30:22So?
30:23So go explain things to him.
30:24Tell him you two didn't break up because of me.
30:26Tell him to stop taking his anger out on me.
30:29Sasha, why on earth do you think I would help you?
30:31Because you know nothing really happened between us?
30:34If you hadn't kept misunderstanding us, I wouldn't be in this mess today.
30:38Misunderstanding?
30:39You called him in the middle of the night to stay with you.
30:41You cried on his shoulder at our engagement.
30:43You got on the boat right at sunset to waste time on our wedding day.
30:45Are all of those just misunderstandings?
30:47You're best at doing these things while playing innocent.
30:49I tolerated it before because I still wanted Ethan, but I don't want him anymore.
30:52So you don't need to play your tricks in front of me.
30:54She's right.
30:56Ethan, you're finally willing to see me.
30:58I really didn't mean to do it.
30:59You're just used to playing the victim.
31:01I always thought you were just dependent on me.
31:03I thought you were innocent and just didn't know any better.
31:04But on our wedding day, I finally realized you did it all on purpose.
31:07No, that's not true.
31:08You know the truth.
31:08I've made it very clear that you don't come looking for me again and don't bother Lina either.
31:11Are you really doing this to me because of her?
31:13It's not because of her.
31:15It's because I finally see you for who you are.
31:23Lina.
31:26I really didn't think she was doing it on purpose before.
31:29That's because you wanted to believe her.
31:30Yes.
31:31So?
31:32So I want to apologize.
31:34I want to give you a real apology.
31:38I'm sorry, Lina.
31:40I'm sorry for making you wait all these years.
31:42I'm sorry for making you step aside.
31:43I'm sorry for always assuming you'd be the understanding one whenever it came to her.
31:47And I'm sorry for leaving you standing on the shore on our wedding day.
31:49I accept your apology.
31:52But I don't forgive you.
31:55Some things can't be fixed with an apology.
31:58You don't need to come looking for me anymore.
32:05Ethan didn't show up as often after that night.
32:07But I knew he hadn't let go.
32:09He just finally realized something.
32:10No matter how much he begged, he couldn't get me back.
32:12A month, Julie and I moved into a new place.
32:14It wasn't fancy.
32:15But everything was perfect.
32:16I was busy with work.
32:17So he would leave the lights on for me.
32:19Sometimes I couldn't sleep.
32:20He would leave warm milk on my night mend.
32:22He never asked about my path.
32:23But whenever I got lost in my thoughts,
32:25he would gently pull me back to reality.
32:27He never made any grand promises.
32:28But this sense of security made me realize something.
32:30I finally knew what it felt like to be cared for.
32:33You're early today.
32:34I'm making soup.
32:37What are you laughing at?
32:39I'm laughing at how bad my taste used to be.
32:44And now?
32:48Now is pretty good.
32:50At that moment, I suddenly realized something.
32:53Real happiness wasn't a grand wedding that shocked everyone.
32:57It was finally not having to fight.
32:58It was not having to wait.
33:00It was not having to force yourself to be understanding.
33:03It was because someone would always put you first.
33:05As for Ethan, I only heard bits and pieces about him later.
33:08I heard his family set him up on blind dates.
33:10He turned them all down.
33:11I heard he deleted all of Sasha's contact info.
33:13He rarely went to parties with their mutual friends anymore.
33:16I also heard he got drunk once.
33:17He kept repeating one thing to his friends.
33:19He said,
33:20She wasn't like this before.
33:22She used to wait for me.
33:23Someone told me this as a joke.
33:25Yes, I used to wait.
33:26But once a heart goes cold,
33:28it won't stay in the same place anymore.
33:30A long time later,
33:31I saw Ethan from a distance.
33:33He looked thinner.
33:34He was much quieter, too.
33:36Our eyes met briefly across the crowd.
33:38He seemed stunned for a second.
33:39Then he started walking towards me.
33:41Julian whispered to ask if I was cold.
33:42When I looked up again,
33:43Ethan had stopped.
33:44He looked at Julian's hand as he helped me with my coat.
33:46A hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes.
33:48In the end, he said nothing.
33:49He just nodded to me from a few steps away.
33:51It felt like a real goodbye.
33:52It was just long overdue.
33:53I nodded back.
33:54Then I turned around.
33:55I walked into the warm lights with Julian.
33:57I never looked back.
33:58At sunset,
33:59I finally boarded the right boat.
