00:00Ever since I was little, I had the superpower to make my wishes come true.
00:03If the first half of a wish was 100% certain, then no matter what condition I added after it,
00:07my wish would come true.
00:08If my parents loved me, I wouldn't be late for school today.
00:10If my parents loved me, I could get into my dream high school later.
00:13My parents died in class.
00:14My genius boyfriend, Adrian, held my hand and swore to me that he would always love me and cherish me.
00:19From that day on, the condition for my wishes became, if Adrian loves me.
00:23The truth was, he didn't believe in any kind of superpower.
00:26But he still indulged me and let me make a wish before I did anything.
00:28Until an arrogant girl, Vanessa, joined the astronomy club he was in.
00:32A club full of the school's top students.
00:35When she heard me making a wish, she seriously warned me.
00:38Adrian is the best student in our school.
00:40And you, his girlfriend, have grades this bad?
00:44How could an idiot like you deserve him?
00:47I was gentle by nature, and she often made me cry with her insults.
00:50Every time, Adrian would look at me helplessly, pat my head, and say,
00:55Don't take it to heart. That's just how she is.
00:58I get scolded by her all the time, too.
01:00He said he didn't like Vanessa's loud, flashy personality, either.
01:03But they spent more and more time together.
01:04One day, it was explaining math problems to her.
01:07The next day, he had to go with her to the cheerleading club recruitment.
01:10Until the eighth time he stood me up.
01:12I stopped in front of the charity raffle booth at the school carnival.
01:14I made a childish wish.
01:16If Adrian doesn't love me anymore, let me win the top prize, $1 million.
01:20I casually drew one from the raffle box.
01:22The moment I opened it, the classmates around me burst into cheers.
01:25Whoa, oh my God!
01:27A lucky winner is born!
01:28You won the $1 million grand prize!
01:31I'm looking at the glaring $1 million on the claim ticket.
01:33I stood there frozen.
01:34How could this be?
01:35Any normal person would have been overjoyed to win a prize that big.
01:38But I felt deep despair and helplessness, like the world was about to collapse.
01:41I forced a smile and put the claim ticket away.
01:45Adrian called.
01:46I picked it up.
01:46His voice was as gentle as ever.
01:50Rosa, some new students joined the astronomy club.
01:53Come have dinner with us.
01:56After I hung up, I went to that restaurant.
01:58Vanessa and Adrian were sitting together, talking about something and laughing happily.
02:01When he saw me, Adrian stood up, put his arm around my shoulder.
02:05This is my girlfriend, Rosa.
02:08The guy's talented, the girl's pretty.
02:11You two are a perfect match.
02:13Come on, let me give you your first lesson.
02:15When choosing a girlfriend, you can't just look at her face.
02:18You also have to look at her IQ.
02:20Otherwise, you'll end up like Adrian, with a silly girl.
02:23That day, I asked her why stars twinkle in the sky.
02:25She hemmed and hazed for a long time and finally said, I don't know.
02:28They were all top students from different places and only got the chance to join the astronomy club after many
02:33rounds of selection.
02:34In their eyes, the person who matched the genius Adrian should be someone like him.
02:38Vanessa.
02:40Vanessa, stop.
02:41Adrian often said, Vanessa was smart, proud, and hot-tempered.
02:45And I was gentle and big-hearted, so I should be more forgiving.
02:47Whenever I cried after Vanessa mocked me, he would wipe my tears like he was comforting a child and praise
02:52me for being the most obedient and most understanding.
02:54But this time, I didn't want to be the sensible one anymore.
02:57I reached into my pocket and pulled out a $1 coin.
03:01I want to ask, what are the odds of getting heads 10 times in a row?
03:05The chance of getting heads on a single toss is 50%.
03:07The chance of getting 10 heads in a row is about 0.097%, basically zero.
03:12Want to play a game?
03:13What game?
03:14Seeing who can throw a rock farther?
03:17If you like Adrian, I can toss 10 heads in a row.
03:22How about it?
03:24Rosa, are you joking?
03:26Vanessa, though, laughed until tears almost spilled out of her eyes.
03:29She wiped the corner of her eye and casually slipped her arm through Adrian's.
03:33It's fine.
03:34Let her keep going.
03:35It's just a game.
03:36I can still play.
03:39There wasn't much space on the table, so I asked the waiter for a disposable paper cup.
03:42I shook it and turned it upside down on the table.
03:44First try.
03:45Heads up.
03:45Just luck.
03:46You don't actually think you're some kind of magician, do you?
03:50Second and third tries.
03:51Both heads up.
03:54By the eighth time, I lifted the cup.
03:56Still heads up.
03:57Holy crap!
03:59Probability doesn't exist anymore!
04:05Rosa, stop playing.
04:09Today's dinner is supposed to be fun.
04:13I really like this game.
04:15Don't you guys like it?
04:16We like it.
04:19Ninth time, I lifted it.
04:21Still heads up.
04:23Rosa, I told you to stop playing!
04:25He pressed my hand down hard, but I still held back the tears in my eyes and stubbornly tried to
04:29keep going.
04:30Seeing that I wouldn't listen, Adrian just swung his hand and knocked the cup out of my hand onto the
04:34floor.
04:34On the tenth try, the coin rolled on the floor and still landed heads up.
04:43Tears welled up in Vanessa's eyes.
04:45Adrian, what do you mean?
04:46You knew all along that I liked you?
04:48Vanessa, let me explain.
04:50Rosa, I do like Adrian, but I never meant to come between you two.
04:52You don't have to humiliate me in front of all these people.
04:57You win.
04:57I give up.
04:58I wish you two happiness.
05:00Don't go.
05:02Adrian, what do you take me for?
05:04I, Vanessa, will never be anyone's other woman.
05:13When did you find out?
05:15Are you satisfied now that it's turned into this mess?
05:17So he had known about Vanessa's feelings for him all along and kept it from me,
05:20so that explained Vanessa's baseless hostility toward me.
05:23All of it, he clearly understood everything.
05:25Yet, he still kept going along with her temper,
05:27indirectly letting her take out all those unspoken grudges on me,
05:29his actual girlfriend.
05:30Adrian looked at me, disappointed, and sighed.
05:32Take a taxi back by yourself later.
05:34It's so late and she's a girl alone.
05:35It's not safe.
05:38I didn't know how long I stood there frozen.
05:39The diners around us all looked over.
05:41Their looks held sympathy and pity,
05:42but more than anything, it's mockery.
05:44A classmate at the table handed me a tissue.
05:50Sis, are you okay?
05:52I'm fine.
05:53But you've been crying this whole time.
05:55It hit me.
05:56I reached up and touched my face,
05:57only then noticing my fingertips were wet.
06:00I forced myself to wipe my tears and pay the bill.
06:03The other classmate said,
06:07Sis, we're heading out.
06:08Get home early by yourself.
06:10I will.
06:10See you next time.
06:12The next day, I took the day off
06:14and went to the charity shop next to the school
06:16to collect the prize.
06:17One million dollars was transferred straight to my bank card.
06:20Looking at that long string of numbers in my bank account,
06:22that real feeling made me feel a lot more secure.
06:25By the time I got back to school,
06:27it was almost noon.
06:28As soon as I walked into the classroom,
06:30I saw that familiar lunchbox on my desk.
06:33Adrian often brought lunch to share with me.
06:37Let's eat.
06:41I couldn't buy steak at the store last night,
06:43so I went to the market this morning and bought some for you.
06:45He was as considerate as always.
06:47If it weren't for that lottery ticket,
06:49maybe we would have been happy.
06:51Rosa,
06:52is there any of your parents' car accident compensation money left?
06:58My parents had a car accident five years ago,
07:00and the compensation was one million dollars.
07:02I saw it as money to buy my parents' lives back.
07:04I lived very frugally every day
07:06and never spent a single cent of it.
07:08He knew that.
07:11Last night, you embarrassed Vanessa in front of so many people.
07:13She's always been proud and has her dignity.
07:15She submitted a transfer application to the school this morning.
07:17So what?
07:18I want to do her astronomy project to comfort her.
07:21The problem is,
07:22I don't have enough funding right now,
07:24so I want to borrow $20,000 from you first.
07:27Once the project is set up and gets investment,
07:30I'll pay you back right away.
07:33Adrian,
07:34do you really care about her that much?
07:36Rosa,
07:37you don't understand.
07:39She's the first talented person I've met in years.
07:42Her future is bright.
07:43She'll make huge contributions to the country.
07:46I'd heard this kind of thing too many times.
07:47I was sick of it.
07:48Ever since Vanessa's first day in the astronomy club,
07:51I'd heard Adrian mention her name many times.
07:53At first,
07:54whenever Adrian mentioned her,
07:55he always frowned.
07:56He said she kept asking to quit the club
07:58and kept complaining that astronomy was boring.
08:00Later,
08:00he started talking about how smart she was,
08:02how she solved a problem that had been bothering him for days,
08:04like it was nothing.
08:05I always thought he and Vanessa were just mutual admiration
08:07between two highly intelligent people.
08:09It wasn't until yesterday that I realized they loved each other.
08:11I'm not going to use that compensation money.
08:14Forget it.
08:16Rosa,
08:17are you really willing to watch such a talented person go to waste?
08:21That's your opinion.
08:22It has nothing to do with me.
08:27Rosa,
08:28I know you're still angry right now,
08:30but
08:30we're innocent.
08:32She likes me,
08:33but
08:33I've never done anything to betray you.
08:38I didn't want to guess who he really liked anymore.
08:40Summer vacation was coming up,
08:42so I wanted to take the one million I want
08:43and go to another city
08:44to clear my head.
08:46I was packing at home
08:47and booked myself an Ocean View Villa
08:48when I was almost done packing.
08:50I went to the house where my parents left me.
08:52The house my parents left was in the suburbs.
08:54Adrian lived there for a while to study astronomy.
08:56After school started,
08:57he went back to his own home.
08:58I planned to give the house a deep clean before the vacation.
09:00When I arrived,
09:01the pile of garbage bags at the door stank so bad,
09:03I stepped back.
09:05I thought a neighbor had thrown them there,
09:06so I held back my nausea
09:07and took the trash downstairs.
09:09But when I turned the doorknob,
09:11the door opened from the inside.
09:12Who is it?
09:13This is my house.
09:15How could anyone else be inside?
09:17I opened the door.
09:19A man was sitting on my mother's sofa,
09:20smoking
09:21at the entrance.
09:23The vase my father loved most
09:25when he was alive was shattered all over the floor.
09:27Who are you?
09:28Why are you in my house?
09:31I haven't even asked who you are yet.
09:37This is my house.
09:39All of you, get out.
09:40I instinctively tried to pull her out of the house,
09:42but I was too weak to move them.
09:45Instead, they pushed me to the ground.
09:49Damn, where did this crazy woman come from?
09:52Call Vanessa.
09:53Tell her some lunatic came to our house.
09:55Vanessa, my hands trembling.
09:57I took out my phone and called Adrian.
10:00Rosa, did you change your mind?
10:03Adrian, there are strangers in my parents' house.
10:06Did you know about this?
10:07I lent the house to Vanessa.
10:08I didn't mean anything by it.
10:10She just got into a fight with her roommate
10:11and had nowhere to go.
10:13You have ten minutes to get here and deal with this mess,
10:15or I'm calling the police right now.
10:16Where did this brat come from?
10:18You just barged into our house.
10:19What did we do wrong?
10:20Whatever Adrian told you, this is my house.
10:21All of you, get out.
10:22Rosa, don't get into it with Vanessa's family.
10:24I'm coming over right now.
10:25The man who claimed to be Vanessa's brother spat at me
10:27and shoved me with a fierce look on his face.
10:29I instinctively grabbed his arm and bit down.
10:32He let out a scream.
10:33The woman screamed and rushed over, grabbing my hair.
10:37How dare you hit my son?
10:39I'll kill you!
10:42When Adrian and Vanessa arrived, they saw this.
10:45I was struggling with Vanessa's mother.
10:48Rosa, don't disrespect your elders like that.
10:53Rosa, you actually hit my mom?
10:56Mom, just you wait.
10:57I won't let you get away with this.
11:01Are you okay, Rosa?
11:06Give me back my house keys.
11:10Rosa, listen to me.
11:11Vanessa told me she lives alone.
11:13Her mom and brother were only staying for a couple of days.
11:15They'll leave soon.
11:17Give them back.
11:19Rosa, stop always acting like the victim.
11:22No one here owes you anything.
11:24Adrian picked up the keys and handed them to me.
11:30Rosa, you've already hit me.
11:31You should have calmed down by now.
11:33Let's talk.
11:37There's nothing to talk about between us.
11:39Starting today, we have nothing to do with each other.
11:41Adrian, let's break up.
11:46Rosa, let's talk.
11:48I tried to shut the door, but he pulled it open and forced his way in.
11:51I didn't even have the strength to push him away.
11:54So I went to check the state of the room.
11:56Adrian looked shocked, too.
11:58Staring at the house that had once been so familiar.
12:00Dirty shoes and trash were piled up at the doorway, and the other rooms were the same.
12:04The plants on the balcony, which mom used to love, had been kicked over carelessly.
12:08The warm, familiar feeling inside the house was gone.
12:10The only family photo was thrown in the corner of the sofa.
12:12The glass in the frame was cracked and covered in dust.
12:14He reached out with trembling hands and hugged me.
12:16Rosa, are you okay?
12:19I knelt on the floor, holding the broken family photo, trying to piece it back together,
12:24not noticing my hand was bleeding.
12:26Adrian grabbed my hand in shock.
12:28Rosa, snap out of it.
12:29Hot tears dripped onto his arm.
12:31He looked at me in silence, his lips moving but no words coming out.
12:33All he could do was pull me into his arms and stroke my neck to comfort me.
12:36Rosa, don't scare me.
12:38It's all my fault.
12:40Don't scare me, okay?
12:42I broke down crying and screaming, punching him in the back again and again.
12:46This house was the last memory my parents left me, after my parents died.
12:50This house was the only place where I could still feel that those two people who loved
12:52each other had once loved me in this world.
12:54The door was yanked open, and Vanessa and her younger brother stood outside.
13:00Oh, putting on a show again.
13:03Didn't you just say you wanted to break up?
13:05Rosa, are you that cheap?
13:08Shut up!
13:09Vanessa had never been scolded so harshly by the gentle Adrian before, and she instantly
13:13saw red.
13:15Adrian, are you yelling at me?
13:17If you told me beforehand that this was your girlfriend's old house, I would never have
13:21come here.
13:21This cursed, run-down old house is disgusting.
13:24Me staying here is already generous.
13:27You should get on your knees and beg me.
13:31Whatever they do to you, you just kneel down and take it.
13:35I blocked out everything that was happening.
13:36I knelt on the floor, eyes empty, holding the photo frame.
13:39Adrian was so angry, the veins on his face bulged.
13:41He stepped up and slapped Vanessa in the face.
13:42Didn't I tell you before that nothing in this house can be damaged?
13:45What the hell did you and your family do?
13:55Adrian, you hit me.
13:59So what if I hit you?
14:01Didn't you push Raza before?
14:07Adrian, you idiot.
14:09Can't you see she's using the breakup to make you choose between us?
14:16Rosa, you're a jinx who killed your own parents.
14:20Anyone who gets close to you will have bad luck.
14:23Your parents are dead.
14:24Why aren't you dead?
14:25How dare you still live in this world?
14:27What did you say?
14:31What are you doing?
14:36Shut up.
14:37I said she killed her own parents.
14:39Adrian told me.
14:41On your 14th birthday, you insisted on having cake,
14:44so your parents drove out late at night to buy it.
14:46It was too dark and they got hit by a truck.
14:48Do you think you're a jinx?
14:52So an orphan who got her whole family killed deserves to have no one in her corner?
14:57I clutched my chest and couldn't stop dry heaving.
14:59The truth I had deliberately tried to forget came at me like a slideshow.
15:03On my 14th birthday, my parents prepared a lot of gifts for me,
15:06but I still wasn't satisfied.
15:08I kept pestering them for cake.
15:10Mom sighed and pinched my nose.
15:12You little sweet tooth.
15:14Dad was already dressed.
15:15He picked up the car keys by the door and smiled.
15:17I didn't prepare enough. Let's go get it.
15:20I watched them go downstairs and shouted from the hallway window,
15:22Mom, Dad, remember?
15:25I want chocolate.
15:26My father waved at me with his back turned,
15:28and my mother made a big heart shape with her hands at me.
15:31But when I was looking forward to eating cake,
15:33what I got instead was my parents' cold bodies.
15:36They had bought the cake,
15:37but on the way back, the car broke down halfway.
15:41So they wouldn't miss my birthday party.
15:43They decided to walk back.
15:44While crossing the street,
15:46a fully loaded truck ran the red light
15:47and came straight at them.
15:49So on my 14th birthday,
15:51I lost the two people in the world who loved me most.
15:54I dreamed countless times about going back to the past.
15:56I wanted to beg my past self not to be so stubborn,
15:59but there are no what-ifs in life.
16:01My vision gradually blurred,
16:02and finally everything went black.
16:12When I woke up again,
16:14I was in the hospital.
16:18Rosa?
16:19You're awake.
16:26Rosa?
16:28I drove all of Vanessa's family out
16:30and had the house thoroughly cleaned.
16:33Please forgive me, okay?
16:38Tell me the truth.
16:40Do you also think my parents' death was my fault?
16:46How could it be your fault?
16:47It's the fault of that driver who ran the red light.
16:50It's my fault.
16:53That day when Vanessa asked me,
16:55I just said it offhand.
16:57I didn't mean anything by it.
16:58I didn't know she'd take it that way.
17:01He had just helped me up
17:02when his phone started ringing like crazy.
17:09Adrian, I'm warning you.
17:13Show up in front of me within an hour.
17:16If you don't come today,
17:17you'll never see me in the club again.
17:20Vanessa,
17:21don't be like this.
17:24Rosa is really upset right now.
17:28Hasn't she always pretended to be some delicate little flower?
17:31How long are you going to let her lead you around by the nose?
17:35Vanessa,
17:36if you hadn't deliberately said those things to provoke Raza,
17:39would she be like this?
17:42Adrian,
17:43I'm not wrong.
17:46I've said my piece.
17:48If you don't come within an hour,
17:50you'll face the consequences.
18:01Rosa,
18:02Vanessa seems like she was born without empathy.
18:04Don't take it too seriously.
18:06It's not worth ruining your health over.
18:07So my family was destroyed by her family,
18:10and I don't even deserve an apology.
18:14Rosa,
18:15let me apologize to you on her behalf.
18:17Okay?
18:25You should go.
18:30Then I'll come back tonight.
18:33After he left,
18:34I got up and checked myself out of the hospital.
18:36I deleted Adrian
18:37and everyone around me from my contacts.
18:39I decided to transfer schools,
18:40move,
18:41and leave behind everything that hurt me.
18:42Later,
18:43I adopted a stray dog and named it Lucky.
18:44Since I'd never had a pet before,
18:46I learned how to take care of a puppy by watching videos.
18:48And just like that,
18:49the puppy and I kept each other company.
18:51Until one day,
18:52three months later,
18:53I ran into Adrian.
19:02Rosa,
19:02how could you bear to leave me without a single word?
19:05When I saw him,
19:05I wasn't that surprised.
19:06I just walked past him with my dog like nothing was wrong.
19:09He followed me,
19:10one moment trying to hold the leash for me,
19:12the next trying to pick up its poop,
19:14the whole time.
19:15I didn't say a single word to him.
19:17I just focused on Lucky.
19:19By the time I finished walking the dog and got home,
19:21he was still following me.
19:23I opened the door and motioned for him to come in.
19:25The exhaustion from days of running around
19:27seemed to vanish in an instant.
19:29His eyes lit up,
19:30and he hurried inside.
19:31I poured him a glass of water.
19:33Adrian held the warm glass,
19:34and his eyes turned red again.
19:39Rosa, I know I was wrong.
19:40I've suffered without you.
19:41I finally realized I can't be without you.
19:43Can you give me one more chance?
19:47Do you know where the rent for this place comes from?
19:49Isn't it from the money your parents left you?
19:52Remember when you told me that on my birthday,
19:54you were going to go with Vanessa to the cheerleading tryouts?
19:59I happened to pass by the school charity raffle booth
20:01so I made a wish.
20:02If you didn't love me anymore,
20:04I'd win one million.
20:05And I won.
20:06Even though you never believed in my superpower,
20:08I still want to say it's real,
20:10and my wishes have never failed.
20:15So this is your reason for deciding I don't love you?
20:19Rosa, is it possible that this time you just got lucky
20:21and won the one million?
20:26I can't accept that we broke up
20:27because you mistakenly thought I didn't love you.
20:29I can swear on the galaxies and universe
20:31I'll study for the rest of my life
20:32that I, Adrian,
20:33have never stopped loving you for even a moment.
20:37It's all my fault.
20:38I hope you can give me one chance.
20:40If you don't believe me,
20:41you can toss it again right now.
20:42A hundred times or a thousand times,
20:44I'm confident.
20:50There's no chance for us anymore.
20:56If I don't love Adrian anymore,
20:58let the coin land heads up.
21:13He cried.
21:14It seemed like the first time I'd ever seen Adrian cry.
21:20Please don't be so cruel to me, okay?
21:24So this is what you look like when you cry.
21:26For someone who's usually so high and mighty,
21:28it's really hard to take.
21:33But Rosa, I won't give up.
21:34I'm not asking you to fall in love with me right away.
21:37I'll show you how hard I'm trying.
21:38In the days that followed,
21:39he really came to my building every day.
21:42Every day after school,
21:43when I walked my dog,
21:45he'd run into me
21:45for two whole weeks.
21:46He didn't miss a single day
21:48until one day
21:49when he was trying to win lucky over
21:50by following me.
21:51Vanessa suddenly showed up in sunglasses.
21:55Adrian, have you been doing this all along?
21:59Rosa, you really are a ghost that won't leave.
22:02Vanessa's mouth still stinks like dog crap.
22:04Oh, growing up in a family like that.
22:07Your mom's a psycho.
22:08Your brother only knows how to spend money.
22:10What kind of manners could you possibly have?
22:12You?
22:17Oh, right.
22:18You'd better ask your dear Adrian,
22:20who's actually pestering who.
22:21Ah!
22:26Miss, I've seen that guy bothering you for a while.
22:29Want me to call the police for you?
22:30The man was almost 190 centimeters tall,
22:32with deep-set brows.
22:33A muscular forearm showed below his short sleeve,
22:35and his gaze was steady and open.
22:37I looked him over,
22:38feeling like I'd seen him somewhere.
22:39You are...
22:40I pulled you out when you went into the sea to save a dog.
22:43Remember?
22:43I frowned at his face for a long time,
22:45until I saw the black dog behind him
22:47with a sleek and shiny coat,
22:49and then it hit me.
22:50That was the first time I met Lucky.
22:51It was a stray.
22:52It went to the beach to grab half a frisbee
22:54someone had thrown away.
22:55Got swept into the sea,
22:56tossed around by the waves.
22:57It tried to get back to shore,
22:58but the rip current kept dragging it farther out,
23:00again and again.
23:01At the time,
23:01I was the one who saved it.
23:02Actually, that's not right either.
23:03I can't swim.
23:04It was this guy and the black dog beside him
23:05who pulled me and Lucky out together.
23:08It's fine.
23:09He should be leaving soon.
23:11Last time you saved me,
23:12I never got to thank you.
23:14I'm Rosa.
23:15What's your name?
23:17Hey.
23:18Ethan.
23:19I'm your neighbor,
23:20right next door.
23:21My dog's name is Shadow.
23:22After we said hi,
23:23I wanted to leave,
23:24but he stopped me.
23:25Your leash.
23:25I looked down,
23:26and realized that while we were talking,
23:28Lucky had already started playing with Shadow.
23:30The two dogs' leashes were tangled together.
23:31I was fumbling with the leash,
23:33but the more I messed with it,
23:34the more tangled it got.
23:36Ethan called out,
23:37and Shadow obediently walked over.
23:39He untangled it,
23:40and handed me my dog's leash.
23:47They seem to get along really well.
23:49Can we exchange contact info?
23:51We can meet up sometime
23:52and let them play together.
23:57Three days later,
23:59after school,
23:59Vanessa and her group of friends
24:01blocked my way home.
24:04They quickly surrounded me
24:05and turned their phone cameras on me.
24:09Vanessa stood there
24:10with her arms crossed.
24:12Rosa,
24:12where'd you get the money
24:13to move and transfer schools?
24:16You've got some nerve.
24:18Don't tell me it's the settlement
24:19from your parents' car accident.
24:21Didn't you say
24:22you'd never touch that money?
24:25Shut up!
24:30What I do with my money
24:31is none of your business.
24:35Vanessa looked at me
24:35in disbelief.
24:37Her friends kept messing with my hair
24:39and tugging at my clothes.
24:43Rosa!
24:45Adrian came running over fast.
24:53Vanessa,
24:53what the hell are you doing?
24:56Ethan was passing by.
24:58He frowned and walked over,
25:00shielding me behind him.
25:06I'm Rosa's classmate.
25:08If you've got a problem,
25:09talk to me.
25:12Ethan,
25:13you're the Taekwondo Club president?
25:18Ethan,
25:19this is a misunderstanding.
25:21What misunderstanding?
25:26Ethan glanced over these classmates,
25:28who only pushed around people
25:29they thought they could.
25:32His gaze finally landed
25:33on Vanessa and Adrian,
25:35whose eyes were dark and heavy.
25:38You have ten minutes to get lost.
25:41Otherwise,
25:41I'll come after everyone here.
25:45Including whoever's behind this.
25:52After they left,
25:54Ethan turned to me.
25:55Are you okay?
25:57I'm sorry I stepped in like that.
25:58I just wanted to help.
26:03I'm hiring you.
26:05Whatever it costs.
26:10Okay.
26:10Back then,
26:11I didn't know yet
26:12that the protection Ethan promised
26:13wasn't just him standing beside me
26:15and blocking people.
26:16Later,
26:17this whole thing
26:17really ended up
26:18at the police station.
26:19Ethan told them what he saw,
26:21word for word.
26:21The classmates who took part
26:23in the ambush that day
26:23and Vanessa
26:24were forced to come
26:25to the police station
26:25to learn about the law.
26:27Outside the police station,
26:28Adrian said irritably,
26:29Vanessa,
26:30tell me,
26:31what exactly
26:31is it going to take
26:32for you to leave me alone?
26:36Adrian,
26:37you know how I feel about you,
26:38but you never once
26:39told me to keep my distance.
26:40You know why I've become
26:41like this,
26:41don't you?
26:44Vanessa,
26:45you're insane.
26:49That's right.
26:51And this lunatic
26:52is going to be more successful
26:53than everyone else.
26:55Adrian saw Ethan and me
26:56walk out of the police station
26:57side by side
26:58and he came straight toward me.
27:00Adrian,
27:01whatever you want to say,
27:02say it here.
27:04Rosa,
27:05I'm going back to school first.
27:07I'll come find you later.
27:09I'm warning you,
27:10don't get any ideas
27:11about Rosa.
27:15Sorry,
27:16that guy just likes
27:17to run his mouth.
27:18But I really have
27:19thought about it.
27:20It wasn't until
27:21I got home that night
27:21that I finally figured out
27:22what he meant.
27:24Ever since that day,
27:25I kept running
27:26into Ethan
27:26all over campus.
27:29Sometimes in the morning,
27:31sometimes at night,
27:32I even started to suspect
27:34he'd put a surveillance
27:34camera on me.
27:36Ethan,
27:37you really are
27:38relentless.
27:39It's called persistence.
27:41I don't think I'll want
27:42to start a new relationship
27:43for years.
27:44Sorry.
27:45No rush.
27:46We can start as friends.
27:47I don't think I need friends.
27:50But I didn't expect
27:51that I'd have to bother him
27:52again so soon.
27:55Lucky got sick
27:56in the middle of the night.
27:57I was worried sick,
27:58asking for help
27:59on my phone,
28:00but I couldn't find
28:01any way to fix it.
28:02I called Ethan.
28:04Even though it was
28:04the middle of the night,
28:05he picked up right away.
28:07After I told him
28:08what was going on
28:08with Lucky,
28:09he immediately comforted me
28:10in a steady voice
28:11and called the pet
28:12hospital's emergency line.
28:15I could hear him
28:16rustling around
28:16as he got dressed
28:17on his end.
28:18Ethan, maybe just
28:18give me the address.
28:19I'll go by myself.
28:22It's fine.
28:23I've had dogs for years.
28:24I can help.
28:25Besides,
28:26I don't feel okay
28:26letting you go alone.
28:28It reminded me
28:28of that night
28:29when I had dinner
28:29with Adrian.
28:30He was in a hurry
28:31to go after Vanessa.
28:32who had stormed out angry
28:33and left me
28:34to take a taxi
28:35back alone.
28:36But now,
28:37there was someone
28:38who worried
28:38I'd be scared alone
28:39in the middle of the night.
28:41The hospital test results
28:42came back and said
28:43the dog had a very
28:44serious illness
28:45that could be
28:45life-threatening.
28:47How was that possible?
28:49I had her vaccinated.
28:50It might have been
28:51in the incubation period
28:52at the time.
28:53Puppies like Lucky
28:54who were strays before
28:54are very prone
28:55to this kind of illness.
28:56Do you want to treat her?
28:58No matter how much
28:59it costs,
29:00treat her.
29:00Looking at Lucky
29:01lying in the oxygen chamber,
29:03barely alive,
29:03I felt guilty as hell.
29:07Actually,
29:07she was already feeling
29:08really bad last night
29:09but I didn't notice.
29:10It's all my fault
29:11she ended up like this.
29:14It's not your fault.
29:15Don't blame yourself.
29:16I wiped my tears
29:17ever since my parents died.
29:19I'd been afraid
29:20to face that reality.
29:21It was Lucky
29:22who healed me
29:22bit by bit
29:23with her fluffy little head.
29:24I couldn't accept
29:25the fact that
29:25she might leave me too.
29:27Thankfully,
29:27Lucky was recovering
29:28very well.
29:29The doctor took off
29:30his mask and smiled at me.
29:31Thanks to Ethan.
29:32He's been coming
29:33to see the dog
29:33this whole time.
29:35Lucky can go home tomorrow.
29:39Do you know Ethan?
29:40Of course.
29:41He's a young volunteer
29:42at our hospital.
29:43Three years straight,
29:43he volunteers
29:44whenever he has time.
29:46A week after Lucky
29:47was discharged,
29:48I ran into Ethan again
29:49while walking my dog
29:50in the evening.
29:51You used to walk
29:52your dog in the morning.
29:53Now you've switched
29:53to the evening.
29:54Is Mike constantly
29:55running into you
29:56making you feel pressured?
29:57No.
30:00I just think
30:01the evening is nice.
30:03I can enjoy
30:03the night view
30:04and running into each other
30:05just lets our dogs
30:06play together.
30:14Do you want
30:15to take a walk with me?
30:18No.
