AmusantTranscription
00:00La nuit avant l'école de l'école, Ethan Luciano m'a pris dans sa chambre.
00:05Ses mains étaient rouges, ses touchs demandant,
00:08mais mon cœur s'enclençait avec des décades d'un peu d'espoir.
00:13J'ai aimé Ethan depuis 10 ans.
00:15Finalement, mon rêve s'est passé à l'heure.
00:36Après le tender moment, nous étanglions dans ses cheats.
00:39Il whisperait,
00:40« Après l'école, je vais m'arrêter.
00:43Quand je prends le Luciano de la famille de mon père,
00:46je vais vous faire la meilleure femme de la famille.
00:49Vous êtes ma queen. »
00:51Je crois que c'est.
00:54Le lendemain, j'ai écouté sur sa chambre de l'école et écouté
00:57comme il lui disait à mon frère-in-lau Lucas sur notre situation.
01:01Mesmes les yeux sont brûlées,
01:02mon cœur était brûlée,
01:04et j'étais encore immersed dans la douleur de la nuit précédente.
01:06Mais à l'heure, leur conversation s'est passé à l'italien.
01:10Non mal.
01:10Pour la première fois,
01:11faites le bravo à scuole.
01:13Discapou,
01:13qu'est-ce que veux dire, mia soeur ?
01:15Guarda comme un angelo,
01:16le litre s'apre.
01:18Qui peut penser ?
01:19Signor Presidente,
01:20onorabili collègues,
01:21le groupe du Pôle Européen
01:23s'est pronuncié à favore de cette relation.
01:26Non c'est rien.
01:28C'est juste un sporteur.
01:29Je veux suivre les cheerleaders Sylvia Dawson,
01:32mais je ne veux que elle pense que je n'ai pas compris à l'étho.
01:35Cynthia Savelle,
01:36c'est juste un coup.
01:37Je ne veux pas dire à Sylvia.
01:38Je ne veux pas penser de plus.
01:39Ils ne savaient pas que j'avais passé des mois
01:41secrétement apprendre l'italien,
01:42préparant pour la vie que j'avais pensé de partager avec Ethan.
01:45Je n'ai pas dit une parole.
01:46Après ce jour,
01:47j'ai pris l'application de l'application de l'admissage
01:49de Caltech
01:51et j'ai appliqué à MIT en Massachusetts.
01:58Les mots m'appliquent comme un punch dans la tête,
02:01m'appliquant dans le sens.
02:27Pourquoi vous deux étiez-vous parlant l'italien encore ?
02:29C'est tellement incroyable.
02:31Je ne pouvais pas comprendre rien.
02:33Vous faites toujours ça.
02:36C'est pratiquant de parler en Italie,
02:38vous savez,
02:39je vais avoir ce grand meeting avec l'italien d'alien par l'alien.
02:42Vous avez des têtes de nous tellement fort l'alien ?
02:45Vous avez des têtes de prendre,
02:46vous avez aimé le plus fort ?
02:46Vous avez aimé comment j'avais pu l'alien ?
02:48Ils ne pouvaient pas l'alien,
02:51j'ai aimé être le parfait pour l'alien d'alien d'alien pour l'alien d'alien.
02:54Et maintenant,
02:55chaque mot croyant qu'ils ont dit
02:57éclaté clairement dans ma tête.
02:59Ethan wrapped an arm around me
03:00His lips brushing against my cheek
03:03As if he actually cared
03:05If I didn't know better
03:07I might have believed he really loved me
03:12I...
03:14I need to use the bathroom for a moment
03:17I shot to my feet
03:18My legs trembling as I quickly grabbed
03:20My scattered clothes from the floor
03:22I stumbled out of the room without looking back
03:26The moment I locked myself in the bathroom stall
03:29I clapped a hand tightly over my mouth
03:33Tears poured down my face uncontrollably
03:35As I whispered hoarsely to myself between sobs
03:37How stupid can I be?
03:39He doesn't love you
03:40He never did
03:41I bit down hard on my lip
03:43To stop myself from making any louder sound
03:45Tasting blood in my mouth
03:47I couldn't stay here any longer
03:49Wiping my tears roughly with the back of my hand
03:54I took a deep, shaky breath
03:56Straightened my clothes as best as I could
03:58And quietly slipped out of the bathroom
04:03Without hesitation
04:04I walked straight toward the exit
04:06Leaving Ethan and this suffocating room behind
04:13My phone buzzed
04:16It was a message from Ethan
04:18Where'd you go?
04:19Can't take you to prom tonight
04:21Something came up
04:23And take the morning after pill
04:25I didn't use protection last night
04:26Don't want any accidents
04:29Take care
04:30My stomach twisted violently
04:32I remembered him holding me afterwards
04:34Whispering how I finally belonged to him
04:38I'd been so lost in the warmth of the moment
04:41That I didn't even care
04:43But now
04:44Every word in that message
04:46Felt like slap to the face
04:48I wiped my tears roughly
04:50Forced myself to stand
04:52And stumbled out to the nearest 24-hour pharmacy
04:58The fluorescent lights were painfully bright
05:00As I approached the counter
05:01Her eyes quickly scanned my disheveled hair
05:04Smudged makeup
05:05And the coat I hadn't even zipped properly
05:07Morning after pill?
05:10Yes
05:10Please
05:11She didn't say anything else
05:13She simply placed the small box on the counter
05:16Gave me another cold glance
05:18And rang it up
05:20I paid quickly
05:21Grabbed the small bag
05:23And hurried out of the pharmacy
05:27I swallowed the bitter pill dry
05:29The taste burned on my tongue like regret
05:31Without hesitation
05:32I threw the remaining pills
05:33And the half-empty water bottle
05:35Into the nearby trash can
05:36I was walking aimlessly down the quiet street
05:39When my phone suddenly rang
05:41It was a video call from my best friend
05:43Ava Trevor
05:45Cynthia
05:46Where are you?
05:47Why aren't you at prom?
05:49This is...
05:52Her voice suddenly paused
05:55Through the phone I could hear loud music and cheering in the background
05:59The moment I entered the hall
06:01The loud music and flashing lights hit me
06:03My eyes instantly found the center of the dance floor
06:06Ethan and Sylvia were locked in a deep, passionate kiss
06:08The crowd around them cheered and whistled loudly
06:12Just yesterday, when we were tangled in bed
06:14I had leaned in to kiss him
06:16But he turned his face away
06:18Sorry
06:19I just don't like kissing
06:22The saliva thing
06:23It makes me sick
06:32Yet here he was
06:33Kissing Sylvia passionately in front of everyone
06:36Without any hesitation
06:37So it wasn't that he didn't like kissing
06:40He just didn't like kissing me
06:43Cynthia
06:43I'm so sorry
06:45I didn't want you to see it like this
06:46I turned around and walked out of the venue without a word
06:49Back in my room
06:50I sat silently in front of my laptop for a long time
06:57I'm done
06:59I opened the application portal
07:01Withdrew my Caltech application
07:03And submitted a new one to MIT instead
07:10I curled up on my bed
07:11Hugging my knees to my chest
07:13My mind kept flipping between the Ethan
07:15Who used to be so kind to me when we were kids
07:18And the cold, campless Ethan from today
07:21I only managed to fall into a fitful sleep as dawn broke
07:27The next morning
07:28I felt myself being pulled into a warm, firm embrace
07:32I jolted awake
07:33My heart racing
07:34The first thing I saw was the familiar curve of a defined jawline
07:39The hint of stubble against smooth skin
07:41It was Ethan
07:43I had forgotten that he knew the passcode to my house
07:46And that no one, not even my parents or the housekeeper, Mrs. Trippnan
07:50Would stop him from coming in
07:53Noticing I was awake
07:55Ethan chuckled softly
07:57Leaning in to blow gently into my ear
07:59I yelped, pushing him away and scrambling to the far side of the bed
08:03He followed, wrapping his arms around me from behind
08:06His body radiating heat as he pressed close
08:08Lips grazing the sensitive skin of my neck
08:13What's wrong?
08:14Don't want me anymore?
08:15You were screaming so deliciously last night
08:18Don't tell me you're not in the mood for another round
08:20I clamped my mouth shut
08:21Refusing to respond
08:23And my entire body tensed against his touch
08:25Pretending to be annoyed
08:26You didn't even say goodnight to me last night
08:29Do you know how worried I was?
08:30I'll let it owe this, but you have to make it up to me
08:32I think you should use that pretty little mouth of yours
08:36His fingers traced slow, teasing patterns along my skin
08:39Slipping beneath the edge of my shirt to caress the curve of my waist
08:42And the softness beneath
08:43Drawing shivers from deep within me
08:47I shoved him off with all the strength I had
08:49My heart pounding with a confusing mix of anger and betrayal
08:53What's with the attitude?
08:54Is this about me not taking you to prom?
08:57About not being your date?
09:00Let me guess
09:00Ava told you, right?
09:02You're mad because I took Sylvia to the dance?
09:04Seriously?
09:05She didn't have a date
09:06And I was just helping her out
09:08What's there to be jealous about?
09:10His casual tone made my chest tighten
09:12I pulled the blanket tighter around myself
09:15I'm not jealous
09:16I'm just... done
09:19I don't want to do this anymore
09:22Every word he said only made my blood boil
09:25But I bit my tongue
09:26Unwilling to let him see how much he had hurt me
09:29The house felt strangely empty
09:31With just Mrs. Trippian moving quietly in the kitchen
09:33A moment later, Ethan followed me down
09:35His face darkening as he realized I was still ignoring him
09:38Normally, a cold shoulder from me would have set off a full-on silent war between us
09:42But now, with Sylvia in the picture, he seemed more willing to tolerate my mood
09:45Fine, fine
09:47If you don't want to talk, at least have some breakfast
09:49He shoved a plate of maple pancakes toward me
09:52You've always loved the pancakes made by this chef, haven't you?
09:56I'm not hungry
10:01I just want to be alone right now
10:04I pushed the plate away
10:05Reaching for the simple bowl of cereal Mrs. Trippian had set out for me instead
10:10What's your problem?
10:11I'm not upset
10:13Why don't you go hang out with Sylvia?
10:15Ethan scoffed, slamming the pancake plate onto the table
10:18The sound of shattering porcelain echoing through the kitchen
10:22So, this really is about Sylvia, huh?
10:25You think you have a right to act all hurt?
10:28Just because we slept together once, you think that gives you a say in my life?
10:33The shattered pieces scattered across the tile floor
10:35And I flinched at the sound, my whole body trembling
10:39Hot tears slipped down my cheeks before I could stop them
10:44Hey, hey, don't cry
10:48Did I scare you?
10:50I didn't mean to
10:51However, before he could finish, his phone buzzed on the counter
10:54He glanced at the screen, and his expression instantly hardened
10:58Without another word, he straightened
11:00Clearly more interested in his phone than my tears
11:05I have something important to take care of
11:07Just calm down
11:09Not everything is about you, okay?
11:12With that, he walked out
11:14Leaving me alone in the echoing silence of the empty kitchen
11:18Not long after Ethan left, Sylvia updated her Twitter
11:22Mentioned pancakes in passing, and they showed up
11:25Thanks for me so easy to brag about you
11:28Ethan's chef never used to make pancakes
11:30But Ethan had him learn because I loved them
11:32He had once promised me that his special maple pancakes were just for me
11:38I turned off my phone quietly
11:39Wiping away the tears that had welled up again
11:44Just toss it out
11:51Even that rug was a gift from Ethan
11:55In fact, I went around the house
11:57Gathering every single thing he had ever given me
11:59Boxing them up to be thrown out
12:01After all, every gift felt as carelessly thrown my way
12:04As those pancakes that morning
12:07Ethan didn't reach out for days after that
12:09Every other time we'd fought
12:10It was always me who broke the silence first
12:12But not this time
12:13I blocked him on Twitter
12:15And on my phone
12:16I changed the security code for the house
12:20Mrs. Trayton
12:21In any case, don't let him in
12:26Just as I finished packing
12:28Ava called
12:28Inviting me to get away for a while
12:31I phoned my parents
12:32Who were on a business trip
12:34And told them I was planning to head to the Arctic
12:36To see the Northern Lights
12:37I figured if I stayed with Ava until the end of summer
12:40I could go straight to college
12:42Without ever crossing paths with Ethan again
12:44As I pulled my suitcase toward the front door
12:46I ran into Ethan's mom, Mrs. Luciano
12:49At the entrance to the villa
12:52She'd always been kind to me
12:54Completely aware of the fallout between me and her son
13:08Ethan had once promised to take me to Switzerland
13:10But he'd always complained it was too far and too much hassle
13:14He never actually agreed to go
13:17Furthermore, given our current situation
13:20How could he possibly plan a trip with me now?
13:22I brushed it off
13:24Thinking it was just a misunderstanding
13:25And continued to the airport
13:28However, as I approached the departure gates
13:31I saw them
13:32Ethan and Sylvia
13:33He was there
13:35Holding her bag with a casual, protective ease
13:39On a particularly exhausting day
13:41I had once asked Ethan to carry my bag for me
13:43He had flatly refused
13:45Saying I should handle my own stuff
13:48He had even mocked my bag
13:50Saying it didn't match his tough guy image
13:52So, it turned out those little things
13:55Weren't a bother at all
13:56When it came to someone you truly cared about
13:59I took a deep breath
14:01Trying to clear my mind of him
14:02Ava had arrived early
14:04And was waiting for me at the gate
14:08I kept my distance
14:09Following Ethan and Sylvia from afar
14:11Not wanting to draw his attention
14:13Ethan seemed distracted
14:16Constantly checking his phone
14:17As if he was trying to call someone
14:18But never quite succeeding
14:21Sylvia spoke to him a few times
14:23But he seemed too lost in his thoughts
14:25To even hear her
14:27Finally, I reached my gate
14:29And broke away from their path
14:33Just as I met up with Ava
14:34My phone rang
14:37It was an unfamiliar number
14:39I hesitated but answered it
14:41Cynthia, his voice came through
14:43Thick, with barely contained anger
14:46Fine, ignore me for a few days
14:48But what the hell is with blocking me?
14:50What's with the attitude?
14:51You've got some nerve
14:52Just try and keep me blocked
14:53Let's see who you run to for help
14:55When you're alone at college
14:56His voice was rising
14:58The tone I knew all too well
15:01They were the warning signs
15:02Of an incoming blow up
15:04Nevertheless
15:05I didn't say a word
15:07There was no way I was going to tell him
15:09That I had secretly changed my college plans
15:12I'm boarding now
15:13Just take me off your block list
15:16I want to expect you
15:17Mrs. That Ethan going abroad for a few days
15:20So don't expect to hear from me
15:22I bit my tongue
15:23Resisting the urge to curse him out
15:25And simply hung up
15:29From the corner of my eye
15:30I saw Ethan in the distance
15:32His face twisted with frustration
15:35Gripping the phone like he was about to hurl it at the floor
15:38I grabbed Ava's hand
15:40I grabbed Ava's hand
15:41And kept walking toward the gate
15:42Never looking back
15:43Never looking back
15:44In the Arctic
15:45I kept myself busy on purpose
15:47Ava and I watched the northern lights
15:51Chased whales and shields on a research ship
15:54And packed our days with activities
15:56To keep my mind from drifting back to old memories
16:03Despite his demands
16:04I definitely didn't unblock Ethan
16:07Regardless Ava
16:08Who was always by my my side
16:11Occasionally showed me his and Sylvia's Twitter updates
16:13I could see they were having a great time in Switzerland
16:17Strangely enough
16:17Ethan
16:18Who never used to post much
16:20Now shared something almost every day
16:22Sometimes it was a shot from the Aletz Glacier
16:25Other times it was a picture
16:26From the top of St. Peter's Basilica
16:28Even though I was not keeping tabs on him like I used to
16:31Mutual friends still asked why I was not in these photos
16:33Or why I didn't go to Switzerland with him
16:36After all for years I was the one always by his side in those shots
16:39I just told them I had already promised Ava I'd go on this trip
16:42Every mention of Ethan still hit a nerve
16:46But I was trying not to shy away from his name
16:49I kept telling myself that once I got past this withdrawal
16:53I could finally move on
16:57It had been almost two months without a word from him
17:00The longest he had ever gone without talking since we first met
17:03Before I would always be the first to make up within a few days
17:07Time really does heal
17:09As the days went by
17:10I found myself thinking less and less about Ethan
17:13And genuinely enjoying the Arctic landscapes
17:17Just then, Ethan called
17:21Cynthia, why did you go to the Arctic without telling me?
17:24Didn't we promise to see the Northern Lights together?
17:26He didn't seem to notice it
17:28But there was a hint of unease in his voice
17:30It was a tone I'd never heard from him before
17:33I got my Caltech offer letter
17:35You should have yours by now too
17:37When you get back, I have a surprise for you to celebrate
17:40I resisted the urge to hang up
17:42I'm not coming back
17:44I'm going straight to school
17:46You don't need to worry about me
17:48Cynthia, how long are you going to keep this up?
17:50You blocked me
17:51And I didn't even complain
17:52Now I'm trying to make things right
17:53And you still have a problem?
17:55If you don't come back, then don't ever bother looking for me again
18:01I sighed and added that number to my blocked list too
18:05I was actually in the middle of packing
18:07I had lied
18:09I was planning to head back home
18:11Just without letting Ethan know
18:13Then my dad called
18:18Apparently, they just received a confirmation email from MIT
18:22Saying my spot was secured
18:24And the tuition fees had been paid
18:27It was only then that they realized I had changed my college plans
18:32Did you and Ethan have a fight?
18:34You didn't tell anyone before changing your application
18:38We're not trying to control your choices
18:40But we're just worried
18:42You might regret this later if you decide you want to be with Ethan after all
18:46I could tell my parents were concerned
18:48And I didn't want to keep them in the dark anymore
18:51So I laid it all out
18:53Ethan has a girlfriend now
18:55I need my own life
18:56Not one that just revolves about him
18:57Besides, Ava will be with me at MI2
19:00So I won't be alone
19:01Ethan doesn't know about my decision yet
19:03Please keep this between us
19:04I don't want to see him before I leave
19:06They must have sensed the hurt I was holding back
19:09So they didn't push further
19:11They respected my wishes
19:12And promise to keep my secret
19:17The day I returned home happened to be the night of Ethan's graduation party
19:21His father, Mr. Luciano, was the current don of the mafia
19:24And with Ethan heading off to college
19:26He was expected to gradually start learning the ropes of the family business
19:33So, while the event was framed as a celebration of his academic achievement
19:37It was really just another networking affair for the family's business associates
19:42Since part of my family's business still relied on Mr. Luciano
19:46I didn't want to put my parents in a Tufts floss
19:48So I agreed to attend
19:51The moment I stepped into the Grand Hall
19:53My eyes locked onto someone I hadn't seen in a long time
19:56It was Ethan, dressed in a perfectly tailored suit
19:59He looked even more mature and imposing than he had at prom
20:03Seeing him again after two months stirred a confusing mix of emotions in me
20:07I wasn't even sure what I felt
20:09Maybe anger, maybe regret
20:12Or perhaps just the remnants of a once-strong attachment
20:15All I knew was that my first instinct was to avoid him
20:21Ethan must have sensed my presence because he turned his head
20:24And our eyes met for a brief electric moment
20:28I quickly looked away, trying to slip into the crowd
20:31But he strode over and caught my wrist before I could escape
20:34He frowned, opening his mouth as if to say something
20:38But before he could, Sylvia suddenly looped her arm through his, pressing herself close
20:44She smiled at me, her tone dripping with saccharine sweetness
20:50You must be Cynthia, right?
20:52I've heard so much about you
20:55You're Ethan's best friend who's always looking out for him
20:58Thank you for taking care of him all this time
21:01Her words were polite, but her posture made it clear she saw me as no more than a footnote in
21:06Ethan's life
21:07Someone to be tolerated, not respected
21:09Who said she's my friend?
21:13She's always throwing a tantrum over nothing
21:15If she had any guts, she would have stayed in the Arctic and never come back
21:19There was no point in arguing with him here, in front of all these people
21:23I simply forced a smile at Sylvia and gave a small nod
21:28Ethan's gaze remained dark and unreadable
21:31His eyes never leaving my face
21:33Sylvia's expression was the picture of polite perfection
21:36But her eyes flicked between us, clearly trying to read the undercurrents
21:41The atmosphere grew more uncomfortable by the second
21:43The air practically crackling with unspoken tension
21:46Thankfully, the party officially started
21:48And Ethan had to step away for the obligatory greetings and handshakes
21:52He scoffed under his breath, then turned and walked off, dragging Sylvia with him
21:56Watching them retreat into the crowd, I was surprised to find I felt...
21:59Nothing
22:00No sharp pan of jealousy, no lingering sadness
22:03Just a strange, hollow relief
22:05The party was crowded, packed with business partners, family members, and old friends
22:09Several people seemed genuinely surprised to see me there
22:11Their eyes darting between Ethan and me with thinly veiled curiosity
22:14I pretended not to notice, offering polite smiles and small talk
22:18Before slipping out onto the balcony for a moment of peace
22:21Alas, my moment of solitude didn't last long
22:23Ethan, a few of his friends, and even Lucas wandered out to the same balcony
22:29Their voices drifting over as they laughed and joked
22:34Didn't Cynthia cut ties with you over the whole homecoming queen thing?
22:38She ran off to another country and now she's back?
22:42Please, she could never really leave me
22:44Everyone knows Cynthia's been trailing after me since we were kids
22:47What would she even do without me?
22:50Man, you're lucky
22:50A childhood sweetheart who clings to you no matter what
22:53Plus the hottest girl in school crushing on you
22:55Tough choice, huh?
22:56I know it's not fair to Cynthia, but just having one girl around all the time is boring
23:00Before I take over the family business, I want to have some fun and chase after the girls I actually
23:04like
23:04Besides, no matter what I do, Cynthia will always be there
23:07Waiting for me when I'm done playing around
23:08I couldn't stand another second of it
23:11I turned and walked away, my pulse pounding in my ears
23:16Any lingering warmth I still felt for Ethan shattered in that moment
23:22I couldn't believe I had ever been foolish enough to love a guy like him
23:27I spent the entire party simmering with frustration
23:29Just waiting for it to end so I could leave
23:32However, as the night drew to a close
23:34Mrs. Luciano pulled me aside
23:36Cynthia, I'm so glad you made it tonight
23:38I've missed you, dear
23:39She clapped my hands warmly
23:41Drawing me into a conversation that Sylvia couldn't break into
23:45Despite hovering nearby with a less than pleased expression
23:48Unfazed by Sylvia's icy glares
23:50Mrs. Luciano took my hand and placed it on Ethan's arm
23:54Speaking with the kind of earnest affection only a mother can muster
24:00Earlier, Sylvia had tried to strike up a conversation with Mrs. Luciano
24:03But the response had been noticeably cold
24:06Ethan Luciano pulled me into his bedroom
24:08When you two head off to college, you'll be each other's closest family
24:12Ethan, you're the guy
24:13You have to take good care of Cynthia
24:15Don't upset her anymore
24:18She doesn't need me to take care of her anymore
24:22She hasn't even bothered to add my number back
24:25There was a hint of something like hurt in his tone
24:27Which caught me off guard
24:30Mrs. Luciano, I can look out for Ethan as well
24:33Besides, Cynthia's going to MIT
24:36That's pretty far from us
24:38So it's not like they'll be seeing each other much anyway
24:40MIT?
24:41He turned to me, eyes searching for an explanation
24:44Clearly not prepared for this revelation
24:47Cynthia, you changed your college application?
24:50When did this happen?
24:52I sighed, realizing I couldn't keep this a secret any longer
24:55I forced a small apologetic smile and nodded
24:59Yes, Mrs. Luciano
25:00I realized MIT was a better fit for me, so I switched my application
25:03I'm sorry I didn't mention it earlier
25:05Ethan didn't seem to believe me
25:07He grabbed my shoulders, his grip uncomfortably tight
25:10But we applied to the same college together
25:12Why would you suddenly change to another school?
25:15I winced, trying to twist out of his grasp
25:18Why should I have to follow you to the same school?
25:21I have my own life, Ethan
25:23MIT is a better fit for me
25:25And Caltech was only ever a compromise for your sake
25:28Stop being so selfish
25:29I'm not your property
25:31I have the right to make my own choices
25:36What the hell are you talking about?
25:38When have I ever treated you like you're just some tool for my convenience?
25:44Oh, then what was that night?
25:46You treat me like a convenient outlet whenever it suits you
25:49And then you run off to chase someone else?
25:51In that instant, memories flooded back uncompleted
25:56His strong arms had wrapped around me like vines of fire
25:59Pulling me impossibly close as our bodies moved together in a passionate rhythm
26:03The bed frame sang beneath us with every deep, rolling thrust
26:07Filling the moonlit room with the symphony of our desire
26:11His warm breath brushed my flushed skin
26:13Whispering promises that made my heart tremble
26:16I clung to him desperately
26:18Nails tracing delicate paths down his back
26:21As waves of pleasure washed over me again and again
26:24He moved with powerful grace
26:26Our bodies glistening under the soft glow of night
26:28He turned me gently into the sheets
26:30Lips trailing fire along my neck and shoulders
26:33Until the world narrowed to nothing but the overwhelming ecstasy
26:36That left us both breathless
26:37And trembling in each other's arms
26:41That night had felt like love
26:43But now I knew it was only an illusion
26:46He looked stunned
26:48His anger momentarily replaced by confusion
26:52Are you seriously bringing that up?
26:54We're adults, Cynthia
26:56What happened was mutual
26:57It was your choice, too
27:00I closed my eyes, trying to keep my temper in check
27:03Ethan, if you like someone else, just be honest about it
27:06I won't cling to you
27:07But don't keep stringing me along while you chase after someone else
27:10That's not fair
27:11I chose my words carefully that I had overheard his conversation on the balcony earlier
27:15For a moment, Ethan seemed at a loss for words
27:18His usual confidence shaken
27:22I never did that
27:23I'm not that kind of person
27:24You can keep telling yourself that
27:26But we both know the truth
27:28Are you lying to me or just to yourself?
27:31My words seemed to hit a nerve
27:32His face twisted with a mix of anger and wounded pride
27:36Cynthia, after all these years, this is what you think of me?
27:39You really disappoint me
27:40I never thought he would react this way
27:42If you don't apologize and promise to never say something like that again
27:45I'll never forgive you
27:46With that, he stormed off
27:48His footsteps echoing sharply down the hall
27:50I watched him go, too tired to feel anything but a deep, lingering sense of regret
27:55How had I never realized just how immature Ethan really was?
27:59After Ethan declared he'd never forgive me
28:02I didn't see him again
28:03Ava sent me a screenshot of his and Sylvia's official relationship announcement on Twitter
28:08I barely glanced at it before deleting the message
28:10Why should I waste my time on someone who no longer had anything to do with me?
28:15I told Ava not to send me any more updates about Ethan
28:20I genuinely believed that was the last I'd hear of him
28:23However, on the day I left for college
28:25I had the bad luck of running into Ethan and Sylvia at the airport
28:30Ethan saw me, too
28:31But clearly still sulking
28:32He quickly looked away
28:34Pretending not to notice me
28:35I turned my head as well and made my way to the boarding gate
28:39I caught him shooting me a sharp glare when he realized I had no intention of talking to him
28:44But Sylvia quickly pulled him along with a possessive grip
28:48Ava, who had come to see me off
28:50Shot them a fierce glare of her own
28:53Before linking her arm with mine
28:55And guiding me away
28:58After that, Ethan and I truly fell out of contact
29:00I had blocked him on every platform
29:03And made it clear to mutual friends that I didn't want to hear anything about him
29:10Surprisingly, once I settled into my new life at MIT
29:12I made a lot of great friends
29:15I joined student clubs
29:18Traveled with professors for field work
29:19And filled my days with new experiences
29:24Looking back, I finally understood why Ethan had grown tired of me
29:27Spending your whole life revolving around a single person really was stifling
29:31The outside world was so much more interesting
29:34Why should I have tied myself down so early in life?
29:37By my sophomore year, a few old high school friends came to visit us in Massachusetts
29:43That was the first time in years I heard anything about Ethan
29:48Shortly after entering university, Ethan broke up with Sylvia
29:50Since then, he has had a few short relationships
29:53You surely can't recognize him now
29:55It's completely the aura of a patriarch
29:57I just smiled, feeling oddly detached
30:00Hearing his name no longer stirred anything in me
30:04That winter break, when I flew home
30:07Ethan actually waited for me at the airport
30:11He looked taller and more reserved
30:13With a few men standing silently behind them
30:15They were clearly his family's bodyguards
30:18It seemed he was already stepping into his role within the family
30:23Catching the anxious looks on my parents' faces, I forced a smile and walked over
30:28Ethan, what a coincidence
30:30You're here too?
30:31Without missing a beat, I brushed past him to join my parents
30:33Ethan's outstretched hand, poised to help with my luggage, froze mid-air
30:38On the drive home, he stayed completely silent
30:41I could sense that he wanted to say something
30:43But I kept chatting with my parents, never giving him a chance to speak
30:49By the time we reached home, we still hadn't exchanged a single word
30:55During the break, Ethan tried to visit me a few times
30:58But I always turned him down, using my studies as an excuse
31:03On Christmas Day, to my surprise, Ethan showed up at our door
31:06Mrs. Saville, my parents are out, and I'm spending Christmas alone this year
31:10May I join you and your family?
31:11Ethan asked politely, and my parents couldn't refuse
31:14So they invited him in
31:16Ethan naturally sat down next to me
31:19I wanted to move away, but it would be too obvious
31:22So I just stayed where I was
31:25The relatives who came over to celebrate the holiday with us
31:27Didn't know that Ethan and I were no longer on good terms
31:31And continued to tease us like they always did
31:34Ethan had been chatting happily with everyone
31:37But as I explained things with a smile, his expression slowly darkened
31:45When it was time for everyone to go to bed
31:47I was about to head to my room, but Ethan grabbed my arm
31:51Are you in such a hurry to clarify our relationship?
31:55What relationship do we have?
31:57My words left Ethan frozen in place
31:59He seemed like he wanted to say something, but just as he was about to speak, my phone rang
32:04It was Miles, my college classmate
32:07I wasn't surprised
32:14Since we met, Miles had been openly pursuing me with warmth and sincerity
32:18At the time I had just gotten out of Ethan's shadow
32:21And wasn't ready to get involved with anyone else
32:24Miles was polite, not like Ethan with his overbearing presence
32:27He quietly supported me, providing emotional comfort
32:31I had a great time chatting with Miles
32:34With him, I didn't need to force conversations
32:36And we'd lose track of time talking
32:40Merry Christmas, Cynthia
32:42Merry Christmas
32:42It was already past midnight when Miles reluctantly ended the call
32:47After hanging up, I turned around to find Ethan still there
32:50I wasn't sure how long he had been standing behind me
32:52But I had gotten so absorbed in my conversation with Miles
32:55That I had completely forgotten Ethan was there
32:57He looked upset, his voice tight with suppressed anger
33:00Who was that?
33:01Why were you so happy talking to him?
33:02I repeated my earlier words, but this time with a colder tone
33:06What relationship do we have? Why do you care?
33:09Ethan seemed like he wanted to yell at me like before
33:11But when he saw my attitude, his anger quickly defaded
33:14Is he your boyfriend?
33:16I shook my head, then nodded
33:19Not yet, but he might be soon
33:22When I saw Ethan this time, I realized I had already moved on
33:26It was time for me to meet new people
33:29I didn't pay attention to the dejected look on Ethan's face
33:32And turned to head to my room
33:35S-Cynthia
33:37Ignoring him as he called after me
33:41I didn't see him again until I returned to school
33:44I had already planned to watch a movie with Miles
33:47But ran into Ethan at the school gate first
33:50He looked worn out, disheveled, and was slumped against the gate
33:54Attracting a lot of attention from the girls around him
34:00What are you doing here?
34:03I just wanted to see how you're doing here
34:05We're not that far apart, so I can come visit you often
34:08No need, I'm fine
34:10At least let me take you out to eat
34:11Ethan looked at me with a pleading expression
34:13Just then, a figure stepped between Ethan and Mai
34:16Sorry man, I've made plans with Cynthia beforehand
34:18The two of them locked eyes, tension palpable between them
34:21Cynthia, is this the guy who called you last time?
34:24Ethan's tone was laced with something I couldn't quite place
34:28Jealouslees?
34:29But how could Ethan feel jealous?
34:31I must have been hearing things
34:32Sorry Ethan, but we've already made plans
34:34You can go eat on your own
34:36I gently patted Miles on the arm, who had been standing protectively in front of me
34:45After a couple of steps, I turned around
34:47Ethan was still standing at the school gate, staring at us
34:51His expression forlorn
34:52When he saw my glance back, his eyes lit up with hope
34:55Ethan, please don't come looking for me again
34:57I'm not the little girl who was always waiting for you to turn around
35:00I grabbed Miles' hand, and walked away without looking back
35:06Ethan probably didn't listen to my words
35:08In the following days, I kept seeing him everywhere
35:13I even started to suspect that he might be stalking me
35:17But I didn't want to see him
35:19I rejected all his invitations
35:21Even returned the gifts he gave me, unopened
35:23You're my whole world, Cynthia
35:26At this time, Miles and I had just confirmed our relationship
35:30Miles developed a strong animosity towards Ethan
35:33Every time he saw him, he would pull me away
35:36And openly showed his jealousy and possessiveness
35:39Until one day, when Ethan stopped Miles off campus
35:43And beat him up
35:51I finally couldn't hold back and went to confront him
35:55I really couldn't understand what he was thinking
35:58Back then, it was he who didn't want to be with just me
36:01And wanted to experience me with other people
36:04Now, he was pretending sentimental and disrupting my life
36:07When he realized my intention, Ethan's emotions completely spread out of control
36:11Cynthia, do you doubt me? I didn't send one to beat him up
36:14It was my underlaw who wanted to teach that man a lesson
36:16Whether or not she order, it still affected my boyfriend and me
36:20That's ever soam in front of us
36:21Ethan looked as if he had been struck by lightning
36:25Boyfriend? Have you already agreed to be with him?
36:27Why can't you give me another chance?
36:29I know it was wrong of me to be with Sylvia back then
36:31But I've realized my mistake
36:33Is it really as you claim?
36:34Just being with Sylvia at the same time?
36:36Ethan avoided my gaze, stumbling over his words
36:41Then, in a fit of rage, he kicked one of his underlings
36:46You guys acted on your own! Apologize now!
36:55The underling who had kicked looked like he was purely Italian
36:58And he spoke in Italian
36:59Speak English
37:02Cynthia can't understand Italian
37:04No need
37:05I've actually always understood Italian
37:08Ethan froze for a moment, unable to process this
37:12So, I understood everything you said to me in Italian
37:16Seeing that Ethan still looked confused, I reminded him
37:20Like when you said you wanted to pursue Sylvia but used me to practice first
37:24I understood that too
37:26Ethan stuffing suddenly, his lips trembling
37:29He tried to explain but couldn't defend himself
37:32No, I was just young and reckless
37:35I didn't mean it that way
37:37You just enjoyed the feeling of me liking you
37:39You were always on top
37:41Thinking that no matter how you treated me, I would never leave you
37:44Honestly, you never truly cared for me
37:47My words hit him hard
37:48And Ethan's eyes reddened
37:50I did make a lot of mistakes in the past
37:52But I've been reflecting on myself these past two years
37:54I liked you back then
37:55But I was too young and always distracted by other temptations
37:58But now, after all these years, I realize I can't live without you
38:00You're the one I love the most
38:05Cynthia, I'm sorry
38:06I owe you an apology
38:08But I really didn't mean it
38:09I can't imagine living without you from now on
38:11For a fleeting second, my heart ached with the memory
38:14The peace I once felt in his arms
38:16Those countless nights of embracing each other
38:18Bodies intertwined
38:19Breaths blending together
38:21As if the entire world was reduced to just us
38:24The heat
38:25The tenderness
38:26The way he used to kiss me like I'd
38:28I was the only thing that mattered
38:30But those memories now felt like echoes from another lifetime
38:35I silently watched Ethan, who was covering his face and crying
38:40After a long pause, I finally spoke
38:43But without you, I'm so much happier
38:46After leaving you, I realized that love doesn't have to be all about accommodating each other
38:51I can be willful
38:52And I can have my little temper
38:56Looking back, my youthful infatuation was probably just me confusing friendship with love
39:01I thought I had found the person I was meant to spend my life with
39:04And I convinced myself I was happy being with him
39:09Ethan finally couldn't hold back his tears
39:13Seeing him regretful, I felt a secret sense of satisfaction in my heart
39:19So, he did care about me
39:21Nevertheless, it was too late
39:24I had already found someone who truly mattered to me
39:27Ethan, don't ever come around me and Miles again
39:30Because of the partnership between our families
39:32We can still meet a few times a year out of respect for our elders
39:35But if it happens again, don't blame me for being heartless
39:38We will never meet again
39:40My decisive words made Ethan freeze as he reached for my hand
39:46I turned and left, not looking back
39:48In the distance, Miles was quietly waiting
39:51He seemed completely unconcerned about me forgiving Ethan
39:54Smiling as he waited for me to run to him
39:56The moment I took his hand, he naturally pulled me into an embrace
40:00What do you want to eat?
40:02How about that Japanese restaurant you've been wanting to go to?
40:05Aren't you curious about what we talked about?
40:08To be honest, I was interested at first
40:10But when you walked over to me, I wasn't curious anymore
40:13I was just worried that after talking for so long, you might be hungry
40:17I smiled and then started to cry
40:21Flustered, Miles wiped my tears away
40:26Before we left, I saw Ethan still standing where he was
40:31I hooked my arm around Miles' hand in hand and walked away
40:38That was the last time I ever saw Ethan
40:40Now I lost Joan
