DiversiónTranscripción
00:00Dante DeLuca suffered from insomnia, so I was sent to him as a child.
00:04I became his human pillow.
00:06He had one lover after another, but no matter how wild things got, he sent them away at night.
00:12Holding me to sleep has become a habit.
00:14We'd been by each other's side so long, he thought I'd never leave.
00:18Until my ten-year contract with the DeLuca family finally expired.
00:22By then, he'd fallen hard for a girl, driving three days and nights without sleep just to chase her.
00:27Mrs. DeLuca coldly slid me the renewal contract, certain I'd sign again.
00:31That day, I stayed silent for a long time.
00:34Finally, I said softly,
00:35No. This is where it ends.
00:38Late that night, I arrived at the hotel suite.
00:41Dante's lover was still there.
00:42The sheets had been changed, but the air still carried the scent of sex.
00:46It was obvious just how wild their sex had been moments ago.
00:50You really won't let me stay the night?
00:52As she spoke, she noticed me walking in.
00:57Sorry, we don't need housekeeping.
01:00Housekeeping? She's mine.
01:04Having me isn't enough? You're moving on already?
01:08Dante leaned against the headboard, desire still in his eyes as he looked at me.
01:14What's wrong with sleeping with my little pillow?
01:21All right, you can go.
01:22I stood nearby, waiting for her to take the money and leave like the others.
01:26Instead, she casually slapped the checks back and lifted her chin with a scoff.
01:31I don't want your damn money.
01:33I enjoyed it too.
01:34We both got what we wanted.
01:36That's all.
01:40Dante rubbed the check, rare surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.
01:46And expertly pulled me into his arms.
01:49One arm circled my waist.
01:51As he buried his face in my neck, that scent still lingered in the air.
01:55I looked down and saw a glaring lipstick mark on his back collar.
01:59Bright and obvious, like a claim of ownership.
02:02He noticed my expression and asked in a husky voice.
02:05Hmm? What's wrong?
02:06I pointed at it, my face blank.
02:08There's lipstick on your shirt?
02:10Dante seemed to be in a good mood tonight.
02:12He patiently asked.
02:14If it bothers you, should I change?
02:17He thought for a moment.
02:19Then let's sleep somewhere else.
02:20Your place tonight, okay?
02:21I was surprised.
02:23Unsure why he suddenly wanted to go to my place.
02:26But after sharing a bed for ten years, having him over seemed normal enough.
02:30I nodded.
02:31When we got to my apartment, Dante changed into the men's pajamas I kept for him.
02:35Then he went straight to my bed and lay down.
02:38With his larger frame, he easily pulled me into his arms.
02:41He especially loved holding me face to face when we slept.
02:44One arm around my waist.
02:46The other around my back.
02:47He held me tight, as if I really were his pillow.
02:50Now Dante, dressed in black pajamas, squeezed onto my little pink bed.
02:55He looked completely out of place.
02:56After holding me for a while, he asked curiously,
02:59Elena, why does your bed smell so good?
03:02Yeah, everything was just freshly washed.
03:05But Dante didn't stop there.
03:06Wide awake, he sniffed around until his nose brushed my sensitive neck.
03:11So this is where the best smell is?
03:13Ah.
03:16My heart jumped as I looked up to speak, my lips accidentally brushing his chin.
03:21We both froze, too nervous to speak.
03:23I moved away, afraid he'd hear my heartbeat.
03:26The next second, he firmly pulled me back.
03:29What are you hiding from?
03:32Relax.
03:34I'm not interested in a skinny body like yours.
03:37I'd always known Dante didn't like me much.
03:39He even found me annoying.
03:41From 13 to 23, I'd been by his side for nearly 10 years.
03:45At 13, he was kidnapped by a rival mafia family.
03:48I never knew what happened to him there.
03:50I only knew he came back traumatized and unable to sleep.
03:53The doctor suggested finding a companion to help calm him.
03:56So the DeLuca family began searching for someone suitable.
03:59There were many candidates, all accompanied by their parents.
04:03I waited alone in the crowd, wearing worn-out clothes.
04:06But yesterday's work had exhausted me, and I fell asleep while waiting.
04:10Just then, 13-year-old Dante came out surrounded by a crowd.
04:13He looked annoyed as he glanced over the crowd.
04:15Then his eyes landed on me, asleep in the corner.
04:18Her.
04:19From then on, I spent 10 years as his human pillow.
04:23But as I grew older, my features began to mature.
04:26Mrs. DeLuca grew increasingly wary of me.
04:28She repeatedly warned me not to get any ideas about Dante.
04:31So I quietly buried my feelings and never let anyone notice.
04:35As we grew up, I watched him take one lover after another, every time.
04:39Before he'd even had enough, I'd knock on the door as usual.
04:42Dante, it's time to sleep.
04:45In his eyes, I was no different from his other lovers.
04:48We all came to him for money.
04:50But they gave him pleasure, while I was dull and always ruined the mood.
04:54So he grew tired of me, and even tried sleeping without me.
04:57But he soon realized, angrily, that 10 years had made it a habit.
05:01He had long grown used to falling asleep with me in his arms.
05:04The doctor said being in a good mood could help him fall asleep faster.
05:07So for 10 years, I carefully indulged him, and tried to keep him happy.
05:12Whenever Dante was in a bad mood, his words could turn harsh.
05:17Stop with the fake concern.
05:18You're only here for the money.
05:20I buried my love and quietly took his temper.
05:23Yeah, I'm only here for the money.
05:25I hid my feelings well.
05:27Even in my diary, I kept my distance and called him Mr. DeLuca until I was 19, when he coldly
05:32dealt with the loan sharks for me.
05:34That day, I finally let myself write his name in my diary, Dante.
05:38By the time I came to my senses, the page was covered with...
05:41I love him.
05:43Dante.
05:44I panicked and almost tore the page out, but my hand lingered on it, and I couldn't bring
05:49myself to do it.
05:50Forget it.
05:51My diary was password-protected and hidden at the bottom of my bedroom drawer.
05:55No one would ever find it.
05:56So when I woke the next morning, I found Dante sitting silently in a chair.
06:00The drawer was wide open.
06:04What's this?
06:05My mind went completely blank.
06:07My shameful five-year crush was ruthlessly exposed at 23.
06:12After a long silence, I finally asked,
06:16How... did you open it?
06:18I tried all morning.
06:20Turns out the password was my birthday.
06:22A diary from four years ago.
06:25Baby, you hid this well.
06:27His voice was incredibly gentle, but my heart tightened with dread.
06:31I gave up and lowered my head.
06:32I silently waited for him to judge my ridiculous feelings.
06:36Then came the sound of creeper tearing.
06:38Expressionless.
06:39Dante tore out that page, piece by piece.
06:44What are you fantasizing about?
06:46Elena, you think one page will make me stop touching other women?
06:50They'll do anything I want in bed.
06:52Can you?
06:53Hmm?
06:53From that day on, Dante didn't contact me for three days.
06:57Maybe I disgusted him that much.
06:59And I never asked about his whereabouts, so I had no idea what he was doing.
07:03On the fourth night, someone suddenly knocked on my door.
07:07It was Dante's aid, supporting a very drunk Dante.
07:11Don drank a little too much tonight.
07:13Please take care of him.
07:15My job was supposed to be just helping him sleep.
07:17But whenever he got drunk or sick at night, I usually cared for him.
07:22Still, Dante could really hold his liquor.
07:25How much had he drunk to get this wasted?
07:27I helped him inside, then went to the kitchen to make a hangover drink.
07:31As I boiled water, lost in thought, a burning hot body pressed against me.
07:39Babe.
07:39He murmured hoarsely.
07:41I froze.
07:41He had never called me that softly.
07:43Usually, he called me Elena.
07:45Even when he called me baby, it was only to tease and mock me.
07:49He wasn't as cold as four days ago.
07:51His voice soft, almost conciliatory.
07:54After a brief silence, I gently coaxed him.
07:57Feeling awful?
07:58Your hangover drink is almost ready.
08:00Just wait a little...
08:05A scene I'd dreamed of as a teenager suddenly came true.
08:09Leaving me speechless, I trembled and tried to push him away.
08:12But Dante leaned against my shoulder again.
08:15Drunk and burning with desire.
08:17Babe.
08:18Babe.
08:19My hands froze in mid-air.
08:21I was never a saint.
08:22For money, I'd even become selfish and shameless.
08:25As Dante called me affectionately again and again, I knew I couldn't refuse him.
08:30So I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck.
08:33Actually, this wasn't our first time having sex.
08:36Four years ago, things between us weren't this strained.
08:39We studied together and planned to attend the same college.
08:42We had included each other in our futures.
08:45Until Dante overheard me promising Mrs. DeLuca.
08:47I'm only here for the money.
08:49I have no feelings for Dante.
08:51I even shamelessly asked for a raise.
08:53For the first time, Dante turned cold toward me.
08:56That night, he yanked me into the room and...
08:59Only for the money?
09:01Fine.
09:01Back then, neither of us had any experience.
09:04His movements were clumsy but rough.
09:06And he never once kissed me.
09:08He only asked...
09:08Anyone will do, as long as they pay you, right?
09:11I clenched my teeth, not knowing how to answer.
09:14But I didn't dare reveal even a hint of my love.
09:17Finally, I gave up.
09:19And nodded.
09:21Yes.
09:22That night left me nothing but pain.
09:26We squeezed together on my small bed.
09:28I tried to please him, doing every outrageous thing he asked.
09:31I stopped wondering how much truth or pretense hid in his drunken eyes.
09:36At least, I was the one he wanted right now.
09:38To Dante, all those lovers over the years were just transactions.
09:42Just like that chaotic night four years ago.
09:45No tenderness, no comfort, and certainly no kisses.
09:48But tonight, after what felt like forever, when it was finally over,
09:52he actually held me close, savoring it as he softly kissed my lips.
09:58Still dazed, I trembled faintly in his arms, barely recovered.
10:02Then Dante teased.
10:03Such a tiny waste.
10:05How did you handle all that just now?
10:08Held in his arms.
10:09I quietly wondered.
10:11Maybe Dante felt something different for me too.
10:14For once, Dante slept deeply and comfortably.
10:17Even near noon, he still hadn't woken up.
10:19Until his phone rang, afraid it would wake him.
10:22I pushed through my exhaustion and grabbed it.
10:24The next second, I clearly saw the caller's name.
10:27Babe.
10:28I froze.
10:29An absurd, unbelievable thought crossed my mind.
10:32Clinging to my last hope, I looked down at Dante.
10:35His eyes were cold.
10:36He was usually grumpy when woken, but now showed no impatience.
10:40He took the phone from my hand.
10:42A familiar, seductive female voice came through.
10:45Dante, I heard you haven't slept for three days.
10:48You even stopped holding your little pillow and drove all night to chase me?
10:52Well, since you're so sincere, I guess I'll forgive you.
10:55Whatever you want tonight, I'm game.
10:56I recognized her as the girl from the hotel.
11:00Dante smiled, responding to her again and again.
11:03After what felt like forever, the call ended.
11:06How come it was you last night?
11:10Only then did I realize the tenderness from last night belonged to someone else.
11:17It was me.
11:18Who else did you think it was?
11:20Dante fell silent.
11:22After a long pause, he sighed.
11:24Baby, you really can't live without me now, can you?
11:29You were pretty obedient last night.
11:31This should be enough, right?
11:35But from now on, just behave and stay my little pillow.
11:39Don't dream of anything else.
11:40That night, Dante didn't come looking for me again.
11:43Instead, Mrs. DeLuca came to see me.
11:46When she pushed the renewal contract in front of me,
11:49I finally realized I had known Dante for ten years already.
11:53The contract was renewed every five years.
11:56When the first five-year term ended,
11:58I had just turned 18.
11:59To keep attending the private school funded by the DeLuca family,
12:04I desperately tried to please Mrs. DeLuca
12:07and earned the next five-year contract.
12:10Now, Mrs. DeLuca coldly slid the renewal contract back to me.
12:14Casually, she said.
12:17Dante's new girlfriend says she can help him sleep too.
12:20Maybe he won't need you anymore.
12:23Your payment will be cut in half.
12:25Sign it if you want.
12:26Her tone was certain.
12:27She believed I would beg to keep this job.
12:30Just like I did five years ago, I was truly grateful.
12:34The DeLuca family gave me this opportunity when I needed it most.
12:37Because of them, I was able to finish high school and college.
12:41But now, I stared at the renewal contract for a long time.
12:45Scenes from these ten years flashed through my mind.
12:49After a long silence, I pushed it back and slowly shook my head.
12:54Sorry, Mrs. DeLuca.
12:55This contract ends here.
12:56Just then, Dante suddenly walked in and asked in confusion.
13:00What's ending?
13:01Mrs. DeLuca looked at my warningly.
13:04I shook my head.
13:05Nothing.
13:06Dante wanted to ask more, but his phone suddenly ran.
13:09He glanced at the screen, smiled, and quickly left.
13:13After Dante left, she took a sip of coffee and asked casually,
13:16But have you really made up your mind?
13:18I noted.
13:20Mrs. DeLuca frowned slightly, a faint warning entering her voice.
13:23Elena, don't think you can play games with me.
13:26You're just his little pillow.
13:27Dante can sleep without you.
13:29I stood and gave her a slight bow.
13:31Mrs. DeLuca, thank you for everything the family has done for me.
13:34Don't worry.
13:35I won't regret this decision or cause any trouble.
13:38Only then did Mrs. DeLuca's frown ease.
13:40Seeing me neither argue nor make a scene, she seemed relieved too.
13:44There were seven days left on my contract.
13:46Use these seven days to pack.
13:48Leave when your contract ends.
13:49Go wherever you want.
13:50Just never appear before Dante again.
13:53Can you do that?
13:54Her words were cold, as if she feared I'd use our ten years together.
13:57As if I'd make a scene and cling to the DeLuca family.
14:00But I only gripped the hen of my shirt and promised softly.
14:03Yes, I can.
14:07After leaving the DeLuca estate, I stood by the road, unusually lost.
14:11For years, I had always put Dante first when planning my future.
14:14I never imagined there would come a day like this.
14:16Even when Professor Warren asked if I wanted to apply for an exchange program in Alderwick,
14:20I turned it down without hesitation.
14:22I refused, even though it was a perfect fit for my research.
14:24I didn't agree.
14:25I just stubbornly stayed by Dante's side.
14:27But under the dim streetlight, I texted Professor Warren and asked about openings.
14:30She replied immediately that there was one and promised to help me get it.
14:34At that moment, I suddenly understood.
14:36Old friends.
14:37Lost lovers.
14:38No one should put their life on hold for someone else.
14:41Seven days was tight.
14:42I had to prepare all my documents quickly.
14:44I needed everything ready before leaving for Germany.
14:46I also began packing my clothes from the closet into my suitcase.
14:50The next night, Dante knocked on my door and headed straight to my bedroom.
14:53Ever since sleeping at my place, he'd grown especially fond of my bed.
14:56He even stopped sleeping in his own huge, luxurious bed.
14:59After washing up, Dante opened my closet and started looking for pajamas.
15:02Why are two of your pajamas missing?
15:04My heart skipped, but I kept my voice calm.
15:07What's wrong?
15:08Those two felt the best.
15:09He frowned.
15:10They were too old.
15:11I bought new ones.
15:12I said casually.
15:13He didn't ask anything else.
15:15In bed, he instinctively placed a hand on my waist.
15:18I couldn't help trembling and pulling away.
15:22My waist had been aching on and off for the past two days.
15:25Earlier, I'd bitten my shirt and strained to look behind me.
15:29Several finger marks still remained where he'd gripped my waist too hard.
15:32Dante kept his hand on my waist and asked irritatedly,
15:36Why are you pulling away again?
15:37Luckily, I was already used to enduring pain.
15:40I let him keep his hand there and said without showing anything,
15:43I'm fine.
15:43Go to sleep.
15:44The next second, he pulled up my shirt without warning.
15:47Crisscrossed finger marks stood out against my pale skin.
15:49They brought back memories of how intense that night had been.
15:53He sighed and smoothed my frown with his fingertip.
15:57Every time you're hurt, you say you're fine.
15:59But you're in so much pain, you're already frowning.
16:01Lie here.
16:02I'll go get some medicine.
16:04I was speechless.
16:05Fifteen minutes later, he returned with medicine from the pharmacy downstairs.
16:08Without a word, he applied it and massaged it into my skin.
16:11The warm bedside light softened his features as I quietly watched him.
16:14For a while, the bedroom fell silent.
16:16It had been a long time since things between us felt this peaceful.
16:19As if remembering something, he casually asked while applying the medicine.
16:23Isn't your contract about to expire?
16:25Remember to renew it.
16:26I blinked.
16:27Apparently, Mrs. DeLuca still hadn't told Dante I wasn't renewing my contract.
16:31I wasn't sure if I should be the one to tell him.
16:34So I carefully began.
16:36Dante, I...
16:36Still massaging my waist, he murred.
16:38Just then, the phone rang urgently.
16:41It was Sienna, his new girlfriend.
16:45I closed my mouth and motioned for him to answer the phone.
16:49Sienna's aggrieved voice came through.
16:51Dante, I cut my hand while packing our camping gear.
16:54I can never get anything right.
16:56Dante frowned and stood up with the phone.
16:59I'll have someone pack the gear.
17:01Wait at home.
17:01I'll come check on you.
17:02He hung up and put his coat back on.
17:05The ointment was left open beside me, its cap still off.
17:08Just before leaving, he suddenly remembered and looked back.
17:11Right.
17:13What were you going to say?
17:14Dante stood in the dark entryway, his expression hard to make out.
17:17I sat alone under the light and looked at him calmly.
17:20Nothing.
17:21It's not a big deal.
17:22Go take care of things first.
17:23Soon, it was the sixth night, the last night before my contract expired.
17:27I stood in the middle of my room, staring at how empty it looked.
17:30Thanks to my excellent grades, Professor Warren successfully secured me a spot.
17:34The housekeeper called, carefully asking where I plan to go tomorrow.
17:37I knew Mrs. DeLuca was listening beside her.
17:40So I answered seriously.
17:41I got into a university exchange program.
17:43I'm leaving tomorrow.
17:45I'll be far away, and we won't see each other again.
17:48Mrs. DeLuca, you can rest assured.
17:50The housekeeper sighed with relief and hung up, satisfied.
17:54Almost everything was packed.
17:55Only the things on my small bed remained untouched.
17:58The pluff toys and two pillows still sat quietly in place.
18:00Dante was picky about his bed.
18:02Even one missing toy would bother him.
18:04After ten years of sharing a bed, tonight should be the last time I helped him fall asleep.
18:08I sat quietly in the living room.
18:10He never replied to my messages, so I waited until 1 a.m.
18:14When he finally called, I slowly blinked.
18:16I went back to addressing him with the same distance as before.
18:18I answered the phone and said mechanically,
18:20Don, it's time to sleep.
18:22It felt just like any ordinary night from the past ten years.
18:25Unlike my stiffness, Sienna's bright, lively voice came through first.
18:30Wow, the fireworks are beautiful.
18:33Dante, I love you so much.
18:35He seemed to laugh and say something before lazily picking up his phone.
18:39Completely unaware, he said,
18:40I'm not coming back tonight.
18:42I'll hold you tomorrow.
18:43No, no, you promised to stay with me tomorrow.
18:45Let me try soothing you to sleep again.
18:47Dante laughed and changed his mind.
18:49Fine.
18:49I'll go back the day after tomorrow.
18:51I quietly listened to their conversation.
18:53For a moment, the last bit of attachment I still felt completely faded away.
18:57The next day, on an ordinary morning, I boarded a flight to Alderwitch.
19:01I suddenly remembered going to the DeLuca estate alone ten years ago.
19:04At thirteen, I had timidly huddled in the crowd, silently encouraging myself.
19:07Ellie, be brave, just a little braver.
19:09Now, at twenty-three, I face the future with both hope and uncertainty.
19:13I was about to begin a new life in a foreign country.
19:16I took out the SIM card I'd used for years and replaced it with a new one.
19:20A voice inside me said,
19:22Ellie, keep moving forward.
19:24Don't look back.
19:27The night I left, Sienna was trying to soothe Dante to sleep, but it barely worked.
19:32Seeing this, Sienna gently tugged his collar and whispered suggestively in his ear,
19:37How about some exercise?
19:38It might help you sleep.
19:39Dante looked at her with interest.
19:41Sienna and I were complete opposites.
19:43She was lively and radiant, the kind of girl who caught his interest.
19:47But tonight, Dante seemed distracted.
19:50As Sienna chattered away, he suddenly thought of thinking that at this hour, I was probably quietly
19:54reading.
19:55He thought I was dull and boring, always buried in books.
19:58Every time, he'd deliberately snatch my book away and pull me into his arms.
20:02I never complained or resisted, only gently hugged him back.
20:05At the thought, Dante smiled and opened his phone, but his eyes stopped on our empty chat,
20:09and his smile slowly froze.
20:11I still hadn't replied to the message he sent that morning.
20:13Dante immediately called me.
20:15It rang for three minutes, but no one answered.
20:17He frowned.
20:19Just then, Sienna pressed herself against him and asked again,
20:22Want to do it?
20:23Dante tugged slightly at the corner of his thung.
20:25Ignoring the faint panic and unease inside him, he coldly turned off his screen.
20:29He didn't call again.
20:31Instead, he looked at Sienna and wrapped an arm around her waist.
20:34Yeah.
20:35But when I still hadn't replied the next day, Dante finally ran out of patience.
20:39Ignoring Sienna's attempts to keep him there, he drove straight to my apartment.
20:42The landlord hadn't changed the door code yet, so Dante let himself in.
20:46But when he stepped inside, the apartment was completely empty, as if no one had ever lived there.
20:53His brow twitched hard, and the panic he'd suppressed finally erupted.
20:57Dante called his assistant, barely holding back his emotions.
21:01Where the hell is Elena?
21:02His assistant sounded confused.
21:04Ms. Carter left yesterday.
21:06You didn't know?
21:07Left?
21:07Where did she go?
21:09His assistant hesitated before answering.
21:12She didn't renew her contract.
21:14I fucking told you to make sure she signed it.
21:16Why didn't you tell me she didn't?
21:18Mrs. DeLuca said she'd handle it and told me to stay out of it.
21:22I...
21:22I thought she'd already told you.
21:24The DeLuca estate.
21:25When Dante arrived, Mrs. DeLuca was trimming her prized flowers without looking at him.
21:29What has you storming in here like this?
21:31Dante stared at her without blinking.
21:34Who told you to mess with my girl?
21:35Mrs. DeLuca set down the shears and clapped her hands, amused.
21:40Your girl?
21:41Mrs. DeLuca, always gentle and open-minded on the surface, finally turned cold.
21:45She's just some poor girl from the countryside, lucky enough to be your pillow.
21:49Don't tell me she's actually got you under her spell.
21:52Dante frowned and asked only one thing.
21:55Where is she?
21:56You won't find her.
21:57Mrs. DeLuca wasn't surprised by his reaction, nor did she care much.
22:01Dante's interest never lasted long.
22:03She figured he'd soon forget about this and find something new to amuse himself with.
22:09When I first arrived in Alderwitch, it took me a while to adjust.
22:13I rented a small apartment that was truly mine alone.
22:16With no friends there, I poured all my energy into decorating it.
22:19I bought cute plush toys again and placed them by my bed.
22:22The sheets and covers were all in patterns I loved.
22:25The bed was still small, but it made me feel safe.
22:28Sometimes, after leaving the lab, I'd stop by a flower shop.
22:31A few bouquets of my favorite flowers always lifted my mood.
22:34Living alone was a little lonely, but I enjoyed the freedom.
22:37One weekend, while unpacking, I found my old diary in my suitcase.
22:40It had a combination lock I should have forgotten after all these years.
22:43Unfortunately, that code once held such intense feelings that I still remembered it.
22:46Sunlight streamed through the window as I sat bored on the carpet.
22:49I began flipping through the diary, page by page.
22:51Almost every diary entry mentioned Mr. DeLuca.
22:54Now, far away in Alderwil, sitting in my little apartment, it all felt like a dream.
22:58Then I reached a page with an obvious mark where it had been ripped out.
23:02I stared at it for a long time, and realized I felt nothing anymore.
23:07I closed the journey and reset the combination to zero, zero, zero.
23:11Along with those ten years, I sealed it away in a storage box upstairs.
23:15Later, I made more and more friends and found new interests.
23:18I changed my phone number, and Dante never came looking for me again.
23:21I figured Sienna had probably solved his insomnia by now.
23:26Life in Alderwil gradually became busy and fulfilling.
23:29My landlady was a kind elderly woman who always stopped me for a chat.
23:33One day, she told me she'd sold the apartment next door.
23:36I was about to have a new neighbor.
23:38She said the man was busy and traveled often for work, so he was rarely home.
23:42I didn't think much of it at first.
23:44But soon, I noticed fresh flowers appeared on his balcony every day.
23:47Whenever I stepped onto my balcony in the morning, their fragrance drifted over.
23:51My new neighbor seemed to have tastes very similar to mine.
23:54Even his flower arrangements were exactly the kind I liked.
23:57But he really was busy and traveled often.
23:59I almost never ran into him.
24:01The lights in his apartment were always off, too.
24:03Without those fresh flowers every day, I'd wonder if anyone even lived there.
24:07Later, I met another graduate student who was also studying abroad.
24:10Like me, he loved animals and even had a tabby cat.
24:14One day, after we visited a cat cafe, he stopped me.
24:17After hesitating for a long time, he finally asked,
24:20Um, my cat can do backflips.
24:22He's even better than the cats at the cafe.
24:24Do you want to come see?
24:25His ears turned red as he smiled awkwardly.
24:28I smiled at him and didn't refuse.
24:32I assumed he was away on a business trip and thought nothing of it.
24:36But seven days passed, and the flowers wilted with no one tending them.
24:40On the tenth day, I got a text from an unknown number.
24:43Mrs. Carter, do you have time to talk?
24:45I was in a meeting when the random message came in.
24:48I found it strange, but quickly forgot about it.
24:50The next day, I received a contact request.
24:53I opened it and froze when I saw the profile picture.
24:56It was Mrs. DeLuca.
24:57Long buried memories resurfaced, and I frowned, thinking back over my year in Alderweith.
25:01For an entire year, I'd had no contact with anyone from the DeLuca family.
25:05Why was Mrs. DeLuca reaching out to me?
25:07I accepted her request and politely asked why she was contacting me.
25:11Someone as powerful as her had to be busy.
25:13I figured it would take a while before she replied.
25:15But to my surprise, her reply came quickly.
25:18After a year apart, her tone seemed much gentler, like an understanding DeLuca matriarch.
25:22Her message was brief.
25:24Elena, Dante is in the hospital.
25:26Could you come back to Veriston and see him?
25:30I was a little puzzled when I read that.
25:32I did study medicine, but surely the DeLuca family could find better specialists.
25:37So I politely replied,
25:39Mrs. DeLuca, my medical expertise is limited.
25:42I may not be able to help.
25:43After all, without the DeLuca family, I couldn't have finished high school and college.
25:47But a year ago, I'd also promised never to appear before Dante again.
25:51After some thought, I added,
25:53What illness does your son have?
25:55I can ask Professor Warren for you.
25:56The typing indicator stayed on for a long time.
26:00Finally, she replied,
26:01Doctors can't help.
26:03We need you.
26:04Then she softened her tone and added,
26:06Would you come?
26:07When I arrived at the hospital, a nurse took me to the top floor.
26:11On the way, I casually asked,
26:13So what's wrong with him?
26:15She didn't hide it and leaned closer to whisper,
26:17I heard Don took too many sleeping pills and was rushed here that night.
26:22God, why would he try to kill himself?
26:25Yeah, why?
26:26After a whole year, the DeLuca family still hadn't found a solution to his insomnia.
26:31I listened with a frown, then looked up, and met Dante's unwavering gaze from the hospital bed.
26:37No one else was in the room, and the nurse tactfully left.
26:39I walked in and sat in the chair beside him.
26:42Aside from looking a little pale, Dante seemed fairly normal.
26:45I got straight to the point.
26:48Mrs. DeLuca asked me to come see you.
26:50Why did you take so many sleeping pills?
26:52His lingering gaze rested on my face.
26:54After a long silence, he finally said with difficulty,
26:58I couldn't sleep.
26:59Without you, I can't sleep.
27:02I thought for a moment, then finally recalled a name.
27:06Can't Sienna do it?
27:07The moment I said that, he heritly denied it.
27:10I have nothing to do with her anymore.
27:11I don't want her.
27:13I only want you.
27:15I sighed and didn't respond to that.
27:17Instead, I said gently,
27:19Maybe you should consider therapy.
27:20He shook his head, his voice softening into a plea.
27:23Can you stay with me for a while?
27:25I nodded.
27:26He lay beside me and slowly closed his eyes, exhaustion clear on his face.
27:30I sat quietly in the chair, scrolling through my phone.
27:33Two hours later, I got tired of sitting and stood to stretch.
27:36But someone suddenly grabbed my wrist.
27:38Dante's eyes remained closed, his brow furrowed as if he couldn't sleep peacefully,
27:43so I had no choice but to sit back down.
27:45By evening, he finally woke up.
27:47I put away my phone and gently pulled my hand from his.
27:50If there's nothing else, I'll be going.
27:52Wait.
27:53He grabbed the hem of my shirt in panic.
27:55Under my gaze, he pulled a crumpled piece of paper from beneath his pillow.
27:59I looked at it.
28:00Though wrinkled, it was clearly well preserved.
28:03Three childish words were written across it.
28:05One wish card.
28:07I thought for a long time before remembering it.
28:09I'd made it at 13 to cheer Dante auf.
28:11After writing it, I'd even drawn an awkward smiley face.
28:15Then I poked Dante, who was still sulking, and carefully coaxed him.
28:18Please don't be mad anymore, okay?
28:20Ten years later, I took the card from him and asked,
28:23What do you want to wish for?
28:25Did he want me to move back to Veriston?
28:27Did he want me to keep being his little pillow?
28:30Countless possibilities ran through my mind.
28:32Finally, I heard him ask horously,
28:34Let me hold you again, okay?
28:38I was stunned for a moment.
28:40But in the end, I lowered my eyes to him.
28:43Under his gaze, I slowly tore the card into pieces,
28:47just like he'd torn my diary apart years ago.
28:50Dante, the one wish card has expired.
28:52I threw the pieces away, unwilling to say anything more, and turned to leave.
28:56As I reached the door, I heard him call me again.
28:59Ellie.
29:00Dante stared at my back.
29:01If I told you, that night I was drunk, you were the one I was calling out for.
29:06Hearing that, I really did pause for a moment.
29:09If all that tenderness and comfort that night had truly been for me,
29:12what would have happened?
29:14Years later, the boy from my teenage diary had finally given me his answer.
29:19I thought about it for a second.
29:21But aside from a faint sense of sadness, I felt nothing else.
29:24I didn't say whether I believed him or not.
29:26I simply cut him off softly.
29:28None of that matters anymore, Dante.
29:30Dante immediately continued.
29:31I know you need to focus on school now.
29:35I can go to Alderwick.
29:37I can wait for you.
29:39Please don't leave me, okay?
29:42I sighed and turned back to look at him.
29:44The apartment next to mine in Alderwick?
29:46That's yours, isn't it?
29:47Panic flashed in his eyes at being found out.
29:49I didn't mean anything else.
29:51I just wanted to be closer to you.
29:53I looked him in the eyes and told him one last time.
29:56Dante, no one should spend their life waiting for someone else.
29:59Get treatment.
30:00Sleep on time.
30:01It's time for you to start a new life, too.
30:04With that, I opened the door and left without looking back.
30:06On my flight back to Alderwick, dawn stretched beyond the window.
30:10Deep blue met orange-red along the horizon.
30:12The plane broke through the clouds, carrying me farther away, towards a brand new life.
30:18The summer after high school, I was busy choosing colleges with Elena.
30:22I checked our choices countless times, making sure we'd attend the same college.
30:27Back then, I thought we'd have so much time ahead of us.
30:29Until I heard Elena promise my mother,
30:31I'm only here for the money.
30:32I have no feelings for Dante.
30:34My young, uncertain feelings for her turned into hatred before I understood them.
30:38That night, furious, I gripped her waist and asked again and again,
30:41As long as I pay you, you'll do it?
30:44Elena bit her lip, her brows froing again.
30:47I knew that look.
30:49She was in pain again.
30:50I must have gripped her too hard.
30:52But someone who only cared about money had no right to feel hurt.
30:55Later, when I found her diary, I stared at those words forever.
30:58By the end, I only found them absurd and ridiculous.
31:00My mind was such a mess that I stayed away for three straight days.
31:04The night I got drunk, my aide held me up and asked,
31:07Don, where do you want to go?
31:08Maybe the alcohol had numbed my hatred.
31:11Take me to Ellie.
31:12My aide understood and immediately reached for his phone to call Sienna.
31:16I stopped his hand and repeated,
31:18Take me to Elena.
31:22What followed was a reckless night together.
31:24When I woke, I felt Elena's soft breaths against my neck.
31:27I kept my eyes closed and thought for a long time,
31:30Until Sienna called.
31:31As if I'd finally found a way to hurt her, I asked cruelly,
31:35How come it was you last night?
31:36Elena froze, her gaze dropping.
31:39I thought I'd finally feel the satisfaction of getting even.
31:41But to my confusion, I felt nothing.
31:44When I met Sienna, I really was attracted to her.
31:47She was different from Elena.
31:48She didn't want my money, so her feelings seemed more genuine.
31:51That was why she stayed my lover longer than any other woman.
31:54But after Elena left Verriston, I completely lost interest in Sienna.
31:57The day I told Sienna to leave, she suddenly snealed.
32:00The woman who stayed by your side for ten years is gone.
32:03Dante, why are you pretending to be so deeply in love now?
32:06I looked up at her, expressionless.
32:09Sienna stopped pretending too and said bluntly,
32:11Your mother constantly warned her.
32:13And your household scaph looked down on her.
32:15Even you bullied her.
32:17Yet she somehow endured that environment for ten years.
32:21Of course, I'm not saying this to defend her.
32:23I'm just saying, Dante, you really don't deserve to be loved.
32:27With that, she took the money and walked away.
32:31Sienna's words echoed in my head.
32:33Ten years.
32:34Without love.
32:36How had Elena endured it?
32:38Then I remembered that summer night.
32:40After graduation, Elena had faced me in silence.
32:43Her brows were frenled.
32:45Only now did I understand.
32:47Her heart was hurting too.
32:51After Elena left, my insomnia got even worse.
32:54By the time I landed in Alderwitch to find her,
32:57I hadn't slept properly in days.
32:58From a distance, I saw Elena carrying an armful of flowers.
33:02She was laughing and chatting with a girl beside her.
33:04I hadn't held her for exactly five days and thirteen hours.
33:07All the longing I'd buried suddenly broke free.
33:09I wanted to rush over, pull her tightly into my arms,
33:12bury my face in her neck, and breathe in her comforting scent.
33:15But that day, maybe the sunlight was too bright.
33:17Or maybe Elena's smile was too relaxed and genuine.
33:20As if burnt, I hid around the corner and didn't approach her.
33:23I suddenly remembered Elena hadn't always been quiet and dull.
33:26Long ago, she used to smile this brightly too.
33:28My longing gaze stayed on her for a long time.
33:31In the end, I didn't dare ruin that beautiful moment.
33:33Later, I secretly bought the apartment next to Elena's.
33:36In the room beside her bedroom, I placed a bed against the wall.
33:40I decorated it in fail pink and covered it with plush toys.
33:43Lying there, with only a thin wall between us,
33:45it felt as if we had never been apart.
33:47The day I learned Elena had stayed overnight at another man's place,
33:50I was back in Verriston handling family business.
33:53I sat in my office for a long time, silently wondering,
33:56what would Elena do with him?
33:58Had Elena fallen for someone else?
34:00Were Elena and that man already close?
34:02Then another thought hit me.
34:04Whenever I went from one lover to another,
34:06did Elena suffer the same way I was suffering now?
34:11That night, I lay in Elena's old room and took a sleeping pill.
34:15Half asleep, I saw 17-year-old Elena blinking at me with a smile.
34:19Dante, what college do you want to go to?
34:22I stared at her blankly and slowly reached out my hand,
34:24but before I could touch her, the dream shifted.
34:26I was back on that chaotic night after high school.
34:28This time, tears filled Elena's quiet, beautiful eyes.
34:31She didn't bite her lip and endure it in silence.
34:33Instead, she leant close to my ear and whispered through the pain,
34:35Dante, it hurts.
34:37I jolted awake, my heart clenching painfully.
34:40My hands trembled as I poured out a handful of sleeping pills.
34:43I swallowed them all, desperate to return to that dream.
34:46I wanted to hold her, kiss her gently, and comfort her.
34:50But when I opened my eyes again, I was in a hospital bed.
34:53I had just been resuscitated.
34:54And finally, I saw the woman I'd been longing for day and night.
34:57But when Elena tore up the one wish card and walked away,
35:00I finally understood the truth completely.
35:02It wasn't the one wish card that had expired.
35:05It was her love for me.
35:06From then on, endless distance would stretch between us.
35:10We would never see each other again.
35:12We were never supposed to end up like this.
35:15But this was the only way it could end.
