00:00This man wakes up one morning, and finds his friend's wife lying next to him in bed.
00:03He jumps up in a panic.
00:11Ella, his friend's wife, watches how flustered and innocent he looks, and can't help but smile.
00:17Truth is, she's known for a while, that this man has had a crush on her since middle school.
00:21But back then, Ella never gave him a second look.
00:23She was into his best friend, James.
00:26James was handsome, got great grades, and was thoughtful on top of it all.
00:30Whenever the three of them hung out, William always felt like the odd one out,
00:33just watching from the sidelines as James and Ella laughed together.
00:36After graduation, Ella got her happy ending in Mary James.
00:39William, meanwhile, faded into the background.
00:42He became just another guy grinding away at a regular job, struggling to get by every single day,
00:47while putting up with a nasty senior co-worker at the office.
00:49Even at company parties, people made him the butt of the joke, faced with all that mockery.
00:58William, never one to stand up for himself, just forced a smile through it.
01:02Night after night he drowned his troubles in bitter drinks, stuck in the same dull routine day after day,
01:06just when he thought this was going to be his life forever.
01:08One woman showed up and changed everything.
01:10That woman was his best friend's wife, Ella, but William had no idea,
01:14that this chance reunion wasn't chance at all.
01:16It was something Ella had carefully planned.
01:18After years apart, the two run into each other again, face to face with the woman he's always had feelings
01:23for.
01:24William is clearly nervous, struggling to keep the conversation going,
01:27but the moment he brings up his old friend James, Ella's expression changes instantly.
01:31Her hand shakes so badly she drops her water glass on the table.
01:34She quickly makes an excuse about feeling sick and gets up to leave, worried about her.
01:38William follows right after, seeing Ella barely able to stand.
01:41He rushes over to help steady her.
01:43She insists she's fine, but she's clearly struggling, not until William says just the right thing.
01:49Does she finally nod and relax?
01:51What William never expects, is that once they get back to his place,
01:54Ella just lies down on his bed, and makes a request he can barely say no to.
02:00William knows this would be a betrayal of his friend,
02:03but looking at how vulnerable Ella seems, he agrees anyway.
