00:00On New Year's Eve, after being blinded in an accident three years ago, I finally regained my sight.
00:15Overwhelmed with joy, I rushed out without a second thought, eager to tell my boyfriend and best friend the good
00:21news at once, so they would no longer have to worry about me.
00:24I had to tell them. Dyson, Willow, they had to know.
00:29But something unexpected happened.
00:31Blue? For stay, red for leave. Which side are you on?
00:35Blue, obviously. Who wants to be stuck with a blind girl forever?
00:38Watching other patients talking about the viral poll on their phones, I couldn't help but take out my own phone.
00:45However, when I saw the person who started the poll was none other than my best friend, I forgot to
00:51breathe.
00:51That photo, I took it. For her.
00:57Having understood everything, I chose to face it with a smile.
01:00Perhaps this is the price I pay for being given a second chance at life.
01:05I would let them be happy.
01:06Although I had braced myself for the worst, seeing them so intimate before I even stepped outside still forced me
01:12to steady my heart.
01:13I told myself I was doing the right thing.
01:15Letting go.
01:17Giving them the happiness they chose.
01:20She won't know. It's fine.
01:25Not here. She's coming out.
01:31I had no choice but to keep pretending I couldn't see, watching them walk toward me.
01:38Dryston? Willow? Is that you? You came to pick me up?
01:43He seemed utterly indifferent to me.
01:45Of course we did. We were so worried.
01:48What did the doctor say? Any progress?
01:52No change. He said, it might stay this way for years.
01:57He spoke to me, but his gaze never left Willow, and they even held hands.
02:03Don't worry, Athena. Willow and I are here. We're not going anywhere.
02:06A day, a year, a decade. We'll wait. We'll always be with you.
02:12Once, those words would have shattered me with gratitude.
02:15Now, they felt like a tomb.
02:17The sun began to set, casting long, warm orange shadows of the three of us.
02:26They thought I was still in the dark, and I let them.
02:30Car drove away, leaving only the shadows behind, just like the people we used to be.
02:35Make sure to grab extra button mushrooms. They're Athena's absolute favorite.
02:38The cart was full of Willow's favorites, but she said they were mine.
02:41What hurt more was what came next.
02:43Willow, watch out!
02:48Tristan!
02:55My hand closed on empty air.
03:00I'm fine.
03:02Are you okay?
03:04Miss, your head. You're bleeding, Bagley. We need to call an ambulance.
03:06No hospital. Just a clinic. Please.
03:09Athena, you need a doctor!
03:11I don't want to go back there.
03:12I couldn't let them find out. Not now. Not like this.
03:16I grew calmer despite my situation.
03:19Be careful next time, and don't hurt yourself again.
03:23I'm so sorry, Athena. I should have been watching.
03:27It wasn't your fault. The boxes weren't secured.
03:33Athena, I'm sorry I didn't-
03:35You're fine, Dryston. You protected Willow. That's what matters.
03:38I was no longer just the blind girl. Now I was the scarred one, too.
03:41A perfect picture of pitiful ruin.
03:44The house was filled with their things, and worse was yet to come.
03:50This wasn't my home anymore.
03:52It was theirs.
03:54And I was just...
03:55a guest who never left.
04:05I sat in the dark, watching them build their life in the light, and I let them.
04:20Three days until New Year.
04:23Three days until I decide if I stay blind, or finally open my eyes.
04:29Only after switching off my phone, did I notice the heated exchange coming from the kitchen.
04:39DRIVALM, sounding frantic, was pulling Willow toward the bedroom.
04:51Battling the turmoil inside, I quietly followed.
05:00Willow, what is this post?
05:02You're planning to leave me?
05:04Go abroad?
05:07Athena's eyes will recover eventually.
05:08How am I supposed to face her?
05:10How can I shamelessly tell her I've fallen in love with you?
05:13Dryston, you're Athena's boyfriend.
05:14I'm just the best friend who betrayed her, a secret she can't ever know about.
05:18I can't face her.
05:19Running away is my only choice.
05:21Please don't push me.
05:22Willow, don't go.
05:24We're in love.
05:25How can we just walk away?
05:27The doctor said it could be years before Athena's sight returns.
05:30She'll never know.
05:32And look, 100,000 people online support us, support our love.
05:36Are you just going to ignore that?
05:40The warmth drained from fingertips.
05:42Maybe if I were still that blind girl, I could have lived in ignorance forever.
05:48I wouldn't have had to lose my boyfriend and my best friend at the same time.
05:53Dryston, my conscience is eating me alive every second.
05:56Let fate decide.
05:57If after the new year, the votes for me leaving break 100,000, then I'm going.
06:01No matter what, love.
06:02No.
06:02You belong to Epithea, not to me.
06:04I want you to be happy.
06:05Even if the price is losing you.
06:11The taste of salt filled my mouth.
06:14I covered it with my hand, turned, and silently walked away.
06:20On New Year's Eve, I played my part.
06:23The blind girl waiting for the feast.
06:26It left me staring blankly, thinking back to three years ago.
06:30I'm blind!
06:31What's the point of hanging decorations I can't see?
06:33Why bother the feast?
06:34I might as well be dead!
06:35Athena, don't say that!
06:36You're not blind!
06:37You're the person we love most!
06:38We just want you to be happy!
06:40Athena, I love you.
06:42You'll get through this.
06:42Please don't do this to yourself.
06:44It hurts me more than it hurts you.
06:45Athena, it's all your favorites.
06:47Eat well to get your strength back.
06:49Happy holiday.
06:50Let's keep this tradition alive, just like we did back in school.
06:54I nodded faintly, mechanically putting food in my mouth, but I couldn't manage a smile.
07:01Even the most delicious feast now tasted like ashes.
07:05Because in my peripheral vision, I could see Willow and Dryton's hands clasped tightly together behind my back.
07:18A heavy weight slammed into my chest, suffocating me.
07:37Why the photo?
07:39So I can remember you both when I'm gone.
07:42Athena, I'll find a boyfriend who treats me even better than Dryson treats you.
07:46I'm tired of watching you two be all lovey-doovy for over a decade.
07:50Give a girl a break, will you?
07:51As she finished speaking, Dryson's grip on my hand Willow's, a current of unspoken longing passing between them.
07:57I closed my eyes, surrendering to the charade, and pretended to fall asleep.
08:02Athena?
08:04Athena?
08:12Dryston called my name twice to test if I was really asleep, then let go of my hand.
08:16He took Willow's hand and led her to the far edge of the alchemy, cradling her face in his hands.
08:23There are only five minutes till midnight. I have to go.
08:27When I looked up again, Dryson was already kissing her desperately.
08:31His voice was rough.
08:33He claimed her lips again, his arms locking her fiercely against his chest.
08:39Willow, don't leave me. Please.
08:42Please.
08:43Please.
08:46Please.
08:49I quietly opened the post on my phone.
08:52The likes Erg Rijil to leave were just one short of 100,000.
08:56Ten.
08:57Nine.
08:58Eight.
08:59Six.
09:00Five.
09:01Four.
09:02Three.
09:03Two.
09:04One.
09:05Time flowed on.
09:07The midnight countdown arrived, and brilliant fireworks burst against the dark sky.
09:14Do you remember our first kiss?
09:16Of course.
09:18The day of Athena's parents' funeral, in the storage room, we kissed for a full half hour.
09:23Thinking back now, we really shouldn't have.
09:27My heart clenched, but Willow's next words nailed me to the spot.
09:32Every hair on my body stood on end.
09:38I bit my tongue until I tasted blood.
09:4512.03 a.m.
09:47The red votes just hit 100,000.
09:52Dryson, I have to go.
09:56Willow, you don't have to leave.
09:57You want Dryara?
09:59He's yours.
10:02He's yours.
10:07How long have you been awake, Athena?
10:19I was never asleep.
10:22I've been wide awake this whole time.
10:28Yeah, the fireworks were so loud, you must have misheard.
10:31Let's go inside, it's freezing out here.
10:33What do you want to eat tomorrow?
10:35It's the first day of the new year, we should have something good.
10:37I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.
10:39I pulled my hands free from both of them and took a step back, creating a safe distance.
10:55Willow and Dryasden stared at their now empty hands, confusion and dread dawning in their eyes.
11:02I didn't just hear everything, I saw it all.
11:04I saw you kissing in front of me, holding hands, fixing each other's hair, helping each other with jackets.
11:09I saw how, when those boxes fell at the supermarket Dryston, my boyfriend shielded you in his arms without a
11:14second thought from me.
11:15I saw how our home has been filled with someone else's presence.
11:19Your photos are everywhere.
11:21Your clothes are mixed together.
11:23You did all of this because you thought I was a blind, useless fool.
11:27Someone who wouldn't notice your betrayal even when it was right in front of me.
11:32I hadn't wanted to cry in front of them.
11:35I didn't want to show my shattered, broken self to these two ever again.
11:41But the tears came anyway, betraying my despair.
11:49So, your eyes, they're healed.
11:54You can see.
11:56And you hid it from us.
11:58You pretended nothing had changed?
12:03Yes.
12:04That day at the hospital, my sight came back.
12:07I wanted to share the news with you.
12:09But the first thing I saw with my new eyes was you and Dryston together behind my back.
12:13I didn't know how to face it, so I said nothing.
12:23Athena.
12:26You didn't hear anything, right?
12:28Those weren't your words just now, were it?
12:30I saw you kissing in front of me, holding hands, fixing each other's hair, helping each other with jackets.
12:38I saw how, when those boxes fell at the supermarket,
12:42you shielded her in your arms without a second thought for me.
12:45I've made up my mind.
12:47I'll pack tonight and leave the country.
12:51For good.
12:53I won't be with Dryston.
12:55I'll cut all ties with him.
12:57Please, just believe me one last time.
13:01Willow, even if you leave, do you think Dryan and I could just go back to how we were?
13:05Get married, live happily?
13:08No.
13:10He'd never forget you.
13:11He'd lie to me, over and over and find a way to fly to you.
13:15He'd cheat.
13:16We'd fight.
13:18We'd become one of those bitter, trapped couples stuck in a marriage that's already a tomb.
13:28That wasn't the future I wanted.
13:30Thina, I won't let that happen.
13:32I'll disappear completely.
13:34I won't give him Yance to find me.
13:36Please, don't do this.
13:37We've been the best of friends since elementary school through middle school, university,
13:41and all the way till now.
13:43We promise to grow old together and never be apart.
13:45Dryston, can you do it?
13:48Can you truly be with me and only me?
13:51Never seek out Willow.
13:53Never lie awake, missing her.
13:57Never wonder if choosing her would have made you happier.
14:06Dryston, even if you could, I wouldn't stay with you.
14:10You can rest easy.
14:12Whatever I felt for you died the moment I learned the truth.
14:15It's like ash after fireworks.
14:17No warmth left, no way to bring it back to life.
14:19Willow, you're right.
14:20We were the closest of friends.
14:22We've spent more time together than with our own families.
14:25In a way, we were family.
14:27But you destroyed that.
14:29You chose to let go of everything we had.
14:32What's gone should stay gone.
14:33From now on, let's go our separate ways.
14:36No contact.
14:37No looking back.
14:52Dryston, let's end it here.
14:54Since you've chose each other against all odds,
14:58I hope you find happiness.
15:03I packed a small bag with a few essentials
15:05and stepped out into the cold night air,
15:08hailing a taxi to the airport.
15:22Behind me, from the balcony,
15:25Willow's broken sobs echoed into the dark.
15:29Dryston stood motionless in the wind,
15:31his eyes following my car
15:33until it disappeared from sight.
15:40On the first day of the new year,
15:42I landed in my hometown.
15:45After buying some fruit,
15:47I made my way to the hillside cemetery
15:49where my parents rest.
15:52I hadn't visited in three years.
15:55Weeds had grown tall and wild over their graves.
16:01Once I cleared them away,
16:02I sat down and talked to them for a long time.
16:09But as I spoke,
16:10my throat closed up
16:12and words failed me.
16:18It was hard to grasp.
16:21I was truly alone in this world now.
16:25I had no family left.
16:30Mom, I still don't understand.
16:35Why is it always the people who loved me most
16:37that hurt me the deepest?
16:46My father in the driver's seat
16:48took the full force of the impact
16:50and was gone instantly.
16:53My mother and I were rushed to the hospital.
16:55The surgeries lasted through the day
16:58and into the night.
17:02In the end,
17:04she left me too.
17:07And I
17:08was left blind.
17:11My own life barely clinging on.
17:14Back then,
17:15grief was a constant tide,
17:17drowning me in tears
17:19every minute of every day.
17:21Dryseth stayed by my hospital bedside
17:24day and night,
17:25his voice
17:26a steady anchor.
17:29Athena,
17:30you still have me.
17:34I'll take care of you
17:35for the rest of my life,
17:37just like your parents would have wanted.
17:42You can trust me.
17:46The doctors say there's a chance.
17:49I'm your boyfriend.
17:51It's my job
17:52to stay by your side
17:54through all of this.
17:55I'm not giving up,
17:56so you can't either.
18:00Willow,
18:00overseas,
18:02broke down sobbing
18:03when she heard the news
18:03over the phone.
18:08Without a second thought,
18:09she drafted her resignation
18:11and booked the first flight home.
18:13Athena Turner,
18:14no job is more important than you.
18:17I can find another job.
18:19But right now,
18:20you need me.
18:22I can't leave you alone
18:23and vulnerable
18:23in that hospital bed.
18:25Drysetheth and I
18:26will take care of you
18:27until you're back on your feet.
18:28Don't be impulsive.
18:29You'll regret this.
18:31I'll manage.
18:33I...
18:33I have Dryseth.
18:35Just keep living your life.
18:37We can talk every day, okay?
18:43Willow sacrificed everything
18:45to go abroad.
18:46In college,
18:47she studied relentlessly,
18:49aced every scholarship,
18:50and held the highest GPA
18:52in her year.
18:52She pushed herself
18:54to ill health
18:54and thinning hair,
18:55all for a place
18:56at a top foreign university.
19:00If she threw it all away for me,
19:02everything she'd worked for
19:03would vanish.
19:05Her struggles would mean nothing.
19:08After we hung up,
19:10I cried for a long time
19:11in the dark.
19:13I used to believe
19:14I'd done something extraordinary
19:15in another life.
19:16Something grand enough
19:17to deserve a boyfriend
19:18so devoted,
19:19and a best friend
19:20as selfless as Willow.
19:22But now I know,
19:23even the people
19:24who loved me most
19:25could break me.
19:26And I survived anyway.
19:28I used to believe
19:29I'd done something extraordinary
19:30in another life.
19:32Something grand enough
19:33to deserve this kind of luck.
19:35How else could I have ended up
19:36with a boyfriend
19:37so devoted,
19:38and a best friend
19:39as selfless as Willow?
19:41Willow came home.
19:42She and Dryren
19:43handled my parents'
19:44funeral arrangements together.
19:48You know,
19:49the nurse on the third floor
19:50keeps asking about you.
19:51I think she's jealous
19:52of how family...
19:53That was tough,
19:53but she never complained.
19:54Only shared funny stories
19:56and gossip
19:57to lift my spirits.
19:58He left his career
19:59in finance
20:00and switched entirely
20:01to medical research.
20:02The new treatment protocol,
20:04they've had success
20:05in three cases already.
20:06He joined a lab
20:07focused on vision restoration.
20:09Your eyes.
20:09Dedicating himself
20:10to developing new...
20:11I'm gonna find a way.
20:12I promise.
20:14He spent countless nights
20:16in that lab,
20:17chasing a light
20:18he hoped I would
20:19one day see.
20:21He never said it,
20:22but I knew.
20:24Every breakthrough,
20:26every failure,
20:27it was all for me.
20:30Without the two of them
20:31by my side,
20:32I probably wouldn't
20:32have made it this far.
20:34I just never imagined
20:36that the two people
20:37who had given up
20:37everything for me
20:38would one day
20:39would one day deliver
20:41the most crushing blow
20:42of all.
20:45Mom,
20:46did I do the right thing?
20:51I couldn't stay.
20:53Not after what they did.
20:57Beautiful.
20:59I ran away.
21:02I could never face them
21:03with a clean heart,
21:04grateful for their sacrifice,
21:06but unable
21:07to forgive their betrayal.
21:09so I chose to leave.
21:11A gust of wind
21:12stirred the grass.
21:13The sunlight felt
21:14too bright,
21:15too sharp
21:16against my closed eyelids.
21:23Athena,
21:24I knew I'd find you here.
21:28I wasn't surprised.
21:30I wasn't surprised.
21:30Placing my hands
21:31on the ground,
21:32I pushed myself up.
21:34My legs had gone mole
21:35from crouching so long.
21:38Stumbling,
21:39I swayed unsteadily.
21:45Are you okay?
21:46Is it low blood sugar?
21:47Did you eat before coming here?
21:49Don't touch me,
21:50Dryston!
21:50I don't want your concern!
21:53You make me sick,
21:54do you understand?
21:56Sick!
21:57I told you,
21:58we're done.
22:00I don't want to see you,
22:01and I don't want you
22:02at my here,
22:03at my parents' grave site.
22:05Don't ever come back!
22:08I watched him
22:09pull his hands back,
22:10slowly,
22:11as if my words
22:12had burned him.
22:15And for a moment,
22:16I saw it,
22:17the grilt he couldn't hide.
22:20But I didn't care anymore.
22:25Athena,
22:29Willow's gone.
22:30Her flight left
22:31three hours ago.
22:33She didn't tell anyone
22:34where she was going,
22:35not even me.
22:36She asked me
22:37to give you this letter
22:38and to tell you
22:40she's sorry.
22:42That she won't come back,
22:43won't disturb your peace anymore.
22:45She hopes you'll be happy,
22:47at peace,
22:47and always shining.
22:51A photo.
22:52Our graduation day.
22:55Willow and me,
22:56arms linked,
22:57heads together.
22:59Dryston took it.
23:00She carried it abroad,
23:01said it gave her strength.
23:03That summer,
23:05that hope,
23:06gone.
23:07I picked up the lighter
23:08from beside the candles.
23:09My hands didn't shake.
23:12I watched it curl,
23:13blacken,
23:14and turn to ash,
23:15carried away by the wind.
23:18That summer,
23:19that girl,
23:20that friendship,
23:21gone.
23:22And for the first time,
23:24I let it be.
23:36When I couldn't see,
23:37I used to dream so much.
23:39I imagined my sight would come back,
23:41and I get smoked,
23:42croutenito.
23:44I'd find work I loved.
23:48I'd find a job I loved,
23:50that every weekend,
23:51we'd meet Willow for meals.
23:54That was the life I wanted.
24:02On holidays,
24:03we'd travel,
24:05take photos at every stop,
24:07make reels,
24:08check all the boxes.
24:13Then you and I would marry,
24:15have a baby a few years later.
24:18We'd ask Willow to be the godmother.
24:22If she had a child too,
24:24we'd joke about setting them up,
24:26like in some sweet TV drama.
24:36The first thing I saw
24:37when I opened my eyes
24:38was Willow's post.
24:41All the moments you two shared
24:42for three years.
24:50Athena,
24:50I'm so sorry.
24:52I wasn't someone you could trust
24:53with your heart.
24:55Is it too late for regrets now?
24:57You've lost all faith in me,
24:59haven't you?
25:00I know I don't deserve another chance.
25:03You could still find Willow
25:04if you try.
25:07I'm not stopping you.
25:08I never was.
25:10I'm not here because she left.
25:12I'm not coming back
25:13just because she's gone.
25:14I'm here because I made a mistake
25:15I can't undo.
25:18Athena,
25:18we could still start over,
25:19couldn't we?
25:20I want to be with you.
25:22All those futures you imagined,
25:24the job,
25:25the trips,
25:25the family,
25:28we could still make them real.
25:30Just give me one more chance,
25:32please.
25:34Dryston,
25:35you can't undo
25:35what's been done.
25:37You know that.
25:39I don't have any love
25:40left to give you.
25:42What we had is gone.
25:45Just let me live in peace,
25:47please.
25:50All right.
25:52I understand.
25:53There's nothing I can say
25:54to change it.
25:57I'll let you go.
25:59I hope you find the peace
26:00I couldn't give you.
26:04After that day,
26:05we never saw each other again.
26:07Not because I hated him.
26:09I just knew
26:10some doors close for good.
26:12And that's how it should be.
26:19And I kept walking
26:22steadily,
26:23firmly
26:23toward a future of my own.
26:27Not because I'd forgotten,
26:28but because I'd finally learned
26:30to let go.
26:31I don't know.
26:31Some people do that.
26:31I don't know.
26:31I never think I'mqui 경ассe.
26:31I do.
26:33I've never seen
26:33And I live in my own
