00:30But I had barely tucked myself away when I heard him whispering with one of his groomsmen around the corner.
01:00We've always been soulmates on a spiritual level.
01:02We don't need a marriage certificate to prove anything.
01:04She's not the kind of person who'd care about something so superficial.
01:07But you're forgetting what happened after your brother dumped Hazel for Chloe.
01:10Hazel nearly threw herself into the river.
01:12It took you three years to pull her out of that darkness.
01:15Robbed of a fiancé twice.
01:16If she finds out she's been robbed of a fiancé twice by her own half-sister, she'll lose her mind.
01:20This whole TV wedding is chaos by design.
01:23And at the final reveal, every bride will be under one of those thick, opaque veils.
01:28When the time comes, I'll just say I didn't realize it wasn't Hazel.
01:31Besides, you all know I only got close to Hazel to clear the path for Chloe and my brother.
01:35Now that he's gone, it's only right that I be the one to look after Chloe.
01:40You two go stand outside room 302.
01:42Don't let Hazel get out and make a scene.
01:44Once the license is signed and the broadcast is over, it'll be too late for my parents to object.
01:49At that, I just let out a quiet laugh.
01:52I went back to my room in silence, opened the group chat,
01:55and found the temporary partner who'd been matched with Chloe for today.
01:58Room 302 needs a groom.
02:01Interested?
02:03Hazel, lock the door now! Simon's already cleared the first challenge.
02:06The corner of my mouth tricked, but it wasn't quite a smile.
02:08My friend Nora saw that I still hadn't moved and grabbed my arm.
02:12Come on, come on, Simon's already at the second round.
02:14When he gets up here, how are we supposed to mess with him?
02:17No need to worry about that.
02:19What does that mean?
02:21Isn't happening.
02:24What happened?
02:25Haven't the two have been waiting forever for this TV wedding?
02:28You worked so hard to get a slot.
02:31So how is it suddenly not happening?
02:33I didn't answer.
02:34Yeah, we had worked hard to get that slot.
02:39Three months ago, Simon put the application in front of me.
02:42The network is producing a massive televised wedding special, live signatures, broadcast nationwide, witnessed by the whole country.
02:49I stayed up for two straight nights just to secure us a place.
02:52If I'm only getting married once in my life, it has to be unforgettable.
02:56I hesitated.
02:57At the time, my mother had just been admitted to the ICU.
03:01She had always regretted never having a real wedding when she was young.
03:05Her mother died early.
03:06Her family had no money.
03:08And she and my father ended up getting married at a courthouse.
03:11She used to say she wanted to see me in a wedding dress someday and place my hand in the
03:15groom's herself.
03:16I wanted her to have that.
03:17So I took the application form to her hospital room and showed her the fine print.
03:21Due to venue and broadcast restrictions, this televised wedding event will not include an escort by either parent.
03:26My mother said it was fine.
03:28As long as she lived to see me get married, that was enough.
03:31But when she turned to the page with the ceremony flow, she stared at it for a long time.
03:35So I won't even get to see you walk through those doors in your wedding dress?
03:39I broke down crying in the hospital hallway.
03:42That same night, I said to Simon,
03:45Can we not do the TV wedding?
03:47Can't we just have something small so my mom can walk me in herself and give me to you from
03:52her wheelchair?
03:52Simon held me.
03:53How hard it had been.
03:55This slot was incredibly hard to get.
03:56You need to stop being stubborn.
04:01The wedding will be broadcast nationwide.
04:03Your mother can watch it from the TV in her hospital room just the same.
04:07It's not the same.
04:09Once I find you, we can video call your mother.
04:12It'll be just as good.
04:13I want more than anything to give you the grandest wedding possible.
04:17I didn't argue anymore.
04:18Because when he said that, his eyes were red.
04:21I believed him.
04:23Later, my mother's condition worsened and she was moved to respiratory care.
04:27On the last day, she was fully lucid.
04:30Mom's never going to get to see you in your wedding dress.
04:33You will.
04:34It's going to be on TV.
04:35Just make sure the nurse turns it to the right channel.
04:37I will.
04:38But today, my fiancé stood in a hallway and said,
04:41As for Hazel, she and I have always been soulmates on a spiritual level.
04:44We don't need marriage.
04:46She won't care about something as superficial as that.
04:48My mother was lying in a hospital bed, waiting in front of the television.
04:54And she had no idea.
04:55Her daughter wasn't even worth a marriage certificate.
05:01That's weird.
05:02Why are there only two groomsmen?
05:04Where's Simon?
05:08She turned back to look at me.
05:11Completely confused.
05:12The challenges are over.
05:14Shouldn't he be running upstairs to find you first by now?
05:18Nora, when the groom gets here, don't make it too hard on him.
05:22Got it, got it.
05:23I knew you'd go soft on Simon.
05:2520 puss-ups.
05:25Fine.
05:26Since he spent three years chasing you, I'll tell the bridesmaids not to be too hard on him.
05:29We'll keep it light.
05:3020 puss-ups max.
05:31As she spoke, she picked up her phone and sent a message to the other bridesmaids waiting outside.
05:35The bride says don't be too brutal.
05:37Let him off the hook a little.
05:39The corner of my mouth lifted slightly, but I said nothing.
05:42Under normal circumstances, this would have been such a sweet moment.
05:45After sending the message, Nora came over and looped her arm through mine.
05:48Seriously, Simon must look incredible today.
05:51You've been together for three years, and he's barely even held your hand.
05:54Now you're about to be legally married.
05:56Aren't you nervous?
05:56No.
06:00You liar.
06:01Your lips are white.
06:03Just then, my phone started vibrating.
06:06It was my mother.
06:07She'd made a point of video calling me.
06:10She had just finished chemo.
06:12All her hair was gone.
06:13Her face was pale and yellow.
06:15But she was smiling so brightly.
06:18My beautiful girl, you look so lovely today.
06:21I'm watching the broadcast.
06:23Simon's working so hard to get through all those games just so he can marry you.
06:28So don't be too hard on him, all right?
06:32I forced a dry little laugh and nodded.
06:34I can't wait to see the two of you sign the license.
06:37My mother kept smiling.
06:39A nurse came in to change her medication and glanced at the screen.
06:43Oh, ma'am, your daughter is one of the brides today?
06:45She is.
06:46Fifty couples are getting married live on television today, and my daughter is one of them.
06:50My mother's voice was weak, but she could not hide how happy she was.
06:53My future son-in-law is a good man.
06:55In all these years, he's never given me a single reason to worry.
06:58He's been so good to my daughter.
07:00She had no idea.
07:02The man who had chased me for three years, loved me for three years, and pushed so hard
07:06for me to take part in this televised wedding, had only done it so he could use the chaos
07:10to marry Chloe, the half-sister my mother had hated for years.
07:14Once, Chloe's mother stole my mother's husband.
07:16Now Chloe was stealing my fiancé, too.
07:19For the second time, I took a deep breath and smiled at the screen.
07:25Okay, Mom, the signal's getting bad.
07:27I'll call you again after we sign.
07:29Okay.
07:29After I hung up, Nora stepped in to adjust the thick white veil they'd given me for the
07:33final reveal.
07:34Honestly, a group wedding isn't so bad.
07:36It's less exhausting, and it's being broadcast nationwide.
07:40Your mom has to be thrilled.
07:41Mom, feel a little better already.
07:43She went over to the door and looked outside for a while.
07:47What is taking Simon so long?
07:50The other rooms have all been picked up already.
07:51The host downstairs is already calling couple 28.
07:57She turned around, picked up a piece of candy from the table, unwrapped it, and popped it
08:01into her mouth.
08:03But seriously, who would have thought three years ago that you'd actually end up marrying
08:06him?
08:08I didn't answer.
08:09Nora chewed slowly, her gaze drifting.
08:11Back then, after his brother Mark hurt you like that, I was terrified.
08:15That bastard Mark really knew how to play the perfect man.
08:17When he was with you, he acted like he'd pull the stars out of the sky for you.
08:19We all thought the two of you were absolutely going to get married.
08:22As she spoke, her voice grew heavier, and then Chloe came out of nowhere.
08:28Chloe, I hadn't heard anyone say that name out loud in a long time.
08:32It was six months after Simon and I started dating that he finally took me to meet his
08:36family, and that was when I found out that Mark was his brother, and the woman who had
08:40once destroyed my relationship, my half-sister Chloe, was already married to him.
08:45I turned to leave right then and there.
08:47Simon grabbed my hand and held on tight, his voice trembling.
08:50Hazel, give me a chance.
08:52I'll spend the rest of my life treating you right.
08:56Please, let the past stay in the past.
08:59I struggled with it for a long time.
09:01Every time I saw Mark and Chloe, my stomach turned.
09:04But Simon really had been good to me.
09:06He never forced me to be friendly with them.
09:08He always stepped in when things got awkward, and whenever someone tried to push a drink
09:13on me, he shut it down immediately.
09:15As long as he was there, Mark and Chloe never even got the chance to come near me.
09:19If you don't want to deal with them, then don't.
09:22They have nothing to do with you.
09:28But I didn't want to make things harder for him.
09:30He and Mark were family.
09:32Of course, there would be holidays, dinners, and occasions we couldn't avoid.
09:36And the better Simon was to me, the more guilty I felt for not being able to let the past
09:40go.
09:40I wrestled with it for over half a year.
09:44Then one day, at a family dinner, I picked up my wine glass, looked at Chloe, and forced a smile.
09:51Here's to you.
09:53Under the table, Simon squeezed my hand so tightly.
09:57His eyes turned red.
09:59I forced myself to move on.
10:02But barely a few months later, Mark was killed in a car crash.
10:06And Chloe became a widow.
10:10I really didn't want to bring all this up on your big day, Nora said with a cold little laugh,
10:15cutting through my thoughts.
10:16It seriously makes me sick.
10:18My fiancé and I couldn't even get a spot in this wedding, and somehow she did?
10:22After everything people say about her?
10:24And the man marrying her, Hayogon Liporda, is Simon's college roommate, Luke, the one who just got back to the
10:30States.
10:31Honestly, what is it with men?
10:32Why do they always fall for girls who wreck other people's relationships?
10:39The angrier she got, the more tightly she crushed the candy wrapper in her hand.
10:43When you were engaged to Mark, he left you standing there in front of both families
10:48just because Chloe said she wasn't feeling well and needed him to take care of her.
10:52Right under the sheets.
10:55By then, Nora's voice was starting to break.
10:58That night you went down to the river all by yourself.
11:01I lowered my eyes.
11:03My lashes trembled.
11:05If Simon hadn't jumped in after you and dragged you back out!
11:08She couldn't finish.
11:10She wiped at her eyes hard, and I handed her a tissue.
11:14Simon.
11:15Nora took it and forced a wakey smile.
11:17He was soaked through, shivering, his lips nearly purple from the cold, and he still knelt there in front of
11:22you.
11:23Don't be afraid.
11:24I'm here.
11:25I've got you.
11:27How could someone who barely knew you be that gentle with you?
11:30As she went on, her tone lightened again, carrying that quiet relief of someone who had made it through the
11:35worst.
11:36He said he knew what it was like to be lied to, and that he'd spend the rest of his
11:39life helping you heal.
11:40Do you remember how thin you were back then?
11:42You barely spoke to anyone, and you wouldn't even eat unless he stayed with you.
11:47Nora twisted the tissue into a ball.
11:49We all thought God had sent him to save you.
11:50Three years.
11:51He spent three years pursuing you and never once crossed a line.
11:54Honestly, we even joked in private that maybe he had some kind of problem in that department.
11:58But now that I think about it, what man does that, unless he really loves someone?
12:05He doesn't love me.
12:06Nora went still.
12:08What did you just say?
12:12I forced a smile, but it came out ugly.
12:16He only got close to me so Chloe could marry Mark without any trouble.
12:19Nora froze.
12:21What do you mean?
12:23I looked at her and suddenly felt there was no point in saying more.
12:26I looked at her and she looked at me, and I just, I couldn't speak.
12:31Today was supposed to be a happy day.
12:34There was no reason to ruin it for her too.
12:37All Nora ever saw was Simon saving me and treating me well.
12:41She never saw the way he treated Chloe differently,
12:44or how I kept letting it slide, again and again, for years.
12:49That was my pain to carry, not Nora's.
12:52I should have seen it in the late night calls he always took from Chloe.
12:55In the way he kept asking me to be understanding because she was alone.
12:58In the way he always chose Chloe first on my birthdays and anniversaries.
13:06I should have woken up a long time ago.
13:08I've got you.
13:09But I couldn't let go of the man who once pulled me out of hell.
13:13Nora stared at me.
13:14Her eyes read,
13:15You always tell me the good parts and keep the rest to yourself.
13:19What happened?
13:20Don't think I didn't notice?
13:22Sometimes the way Simon treated Chloe just didn't feel right.
13:26I asked you about it before.
13:29Every time you said it's fine.
13:30She's my sister and she's going to be Simon's sister-in-law.
13:33Of course you should look out for her.
13:34So I didn't push any further.
13:36She sniffed, her voice starting to shake.
13:39But it stayed in the back of my mind.
13:40Then the day he proposed.
13:42He got down on one knee in the plaza outside your office.
13:44The ground was covered in roses.
13:46How could a man like that not love you?
13:50As she spoke, Noah ended up smiling through her tears.
13:54So I guess none of that matters now.
13:58Hazel is finally marrying the man she loves.
14:03Laughter and excited voices rose outside the door.
14:05Nora's eyes lit up instantly.
14:07He's here!
14:08Simon's here!
14:09Hurry!
14:10Sit still!
14:11Pull your veil down!
14:11Don't let him see you yet!
14:13Oh no!
14:13Did I smudge my makeup?
14:15I watched Nora rush around, but I didn't move.
14:18She was smiling.
14:20I was smiling too.
14:22She was smiling because she thought Simon had finally come for me.
14:25I was smiling because the groom had finally arrived.
14:31The moment the door opened, Nora's smile froze.
14:36It wasn't Simon.
14:38Make the groom earn it!
14:40Come on!
14:41Sing for her!
14:41They didn't know Simon.
14:43They just assumed the man at the door was the groom for this room.
14:46But Nora knew.
14:47She turned to me so fast it was almost jarring.
14:50Her eyes reddened instantly.
14:53Confusion, panic, and beneath both, a flicker of despair, like she had already guessed the truth.
14:58I reached for her hand and gave it a light squeeze.
15:01Tears spilled down her face at once, but she didn't ask why.
15:04Maybe it was because of what I had told her earlier.
15:07Or maybe it was because I sat there so calmly under my veil that she understood everything without another word.
15:12Nora bit down on her lip and stepped aside.
15:15Then she moted for the groom to come in.
15:19He walked in without a word, took my hand, and led me out.
15:24The hallway was quiet.
15:26Every other bride had already been brought out in laughter and noise.
15:30Only sweet 302 was different.
15:33The bride was let out in silence by a man she had never met.
15:36By the time we reached the lawn, 50 brides in white vase were already standing in five neat rows.
15:41The M-Bar lifted the microphone.
15:43All right, the last couple is in place.
15:45All 50 couples are here.
15:48Now it's time for the vows.
15:50Simon had been standing there talking and laughing with Chloe.
15:52All 50 couples are here.
15:54But the second he heard that all 50 couples were there, he frowned.
16:00Wait!
16:05The host paused with the microphone suspended in midair.
16:09Simon frowned and swept his gaze across the first row, then back again.
16:13The heavy veils made it impossible to see anyone's face clearly, but something still felt off.
16:19One of the groomsmen immediately ran over.
16:21Simon, the producer said they can't start the live broadcast unless all 50 couples are in place.
16:26Simon's brow relaxed.
16:29Luke said to just pull in any woman and make up the last couple.
16:32The two guys are still outside Hazel's room.
16:34She won't get out.
16:36Right now, don't hold things up.
16:38Just finish the vows and sign the marriage license.
16:42Simon nodded.
16:44Simon, what's wrong?
16:46Nothing.
16:48It's fine, go on.
16:51The host let out a breath and lifted the microphone again.
16:54All grooms, please take your bride's hands.
16:5650 pairs of hands joined at once.
16:59Grooms, face your brides.
17:01Simon turned to face Chloe.
17:03Lift the veil.
17:06Chloe smiled at him shyly, soft and sweet.
17:09I vow, from this day forward, in poverty or in wealth.
17:13The only flaw in the moment was that the face beneath the veiled was not the one he wanted.
17:16After all, the woman he truly saw as his spiritual soulmate was someone else.
17:21In sickness and in health.
17:24After Simon finished the last line, he almost involuntarily looked back toward the final row once more.
17:29Luke had his head lowered, saying something to the bride beside him.
17:32What are you thinking about?
17:33We need to go sign now.
17:34Right.
17:35He took Chloe's hand and led her forward.
17:38All 50 couples lined up and made their way to the signing table, where the city official was waiting.
17:43Staff checked IDs, stamped papers, and collected signatures.
17:47When it was Simon's turn, the official took his documents and Chloe's together.
17:52Sign here.
17:54The moment the stamp came down, something in Simon's chest suddenly felt hollow.
17:59He couldn't explain why.
18:01He had spent three months preparing for this moment.
18:04For three months, he had coaxed me every day, telling me he wanted to give me an unforgettable wedding,
18:09that signing live on television mattered so much,
18:12and that I wouldn't have to worry about anything because he would handle it all.
18:16Even though the televised wedding had all attire standardized,
18:19he still accompanied me to try on wedding dresses and pick out a diamond ring,
18:23so that I could still enjoy the right every girl has when getting married.
18:26For a moment, he had almost truly believed that today he would walk into marriage with me.
18:30But just now, when the stamp came down, and he looked across the table, it was Chloe standing there.
18:36That brought him back to reality.
18:38Simon took a deep breath and told himself that this was it.
18:41From today on, Chloe would no longer have to stand there and hear his parents call her a bad omen
18:46to her face.
18:47His parents had said that she had to leave the city and was not allowed to benefit from any Davis
18:50family resources ever again.
18:52Otherwise, they would cast her out with nothing and freeze her out of society.
18:55He was trading one legal marriage certificate for her security within the family.
18:59It was also his way of defying his parents.
19:01Chloe took the marriage certificate, her eyes turning red.
19:05Simon, from today on, I'm your wife.
19:07Simon smiled and reached out to wipe away her tears.
19:09Why are you crying? Didn't I promise I'd give you stability?
19:11From now on, you're legally Mrs. Davis. No one will dare look down on you anymore.
19:14Chloe broke into a smile through her tears.
19:17The two of them talked a little longer.
19:20Simon told her what what to say later to his parents, and Chloe agreed to everything.
19:25Then, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly stopped.
19:28Luke was walking toward the signing table, holding the hand of the bride he had brought in to take that
19:33splot.
19:35Wasn't he only supposed to find someone to fill in just to make up the 50th couple?
19:39Why were they heading over to sign the legal documents too?
19:41The second his name went on them, the guy would actually be married.
19:46Simon found himself taking a step forward before he even realized it.
19:49Chloe tugged at him just then.
19:51Who is Luke's bride?
19:53Probably someone the production team arranged at random.
19:56Luke may have found someone to fill the slot, but filling the slot is one thing.
20:00He'd better not get impulsive and start taking it seriously.
20:03All the brides were wearing the same wedding gowns provided by the show,
20:06and with no clear look at her face, even Simon couldn't tell who she was.
20:10Chloe covered her mouth and smiled, a faint blush rising in her cheeks.
20:14We really do have to thank him for helping this time.
20:16Everyone else was too afraid of your parents coming after them,
20:18so no one dared sign up for the TV wedding with me.
20:21As she said it, her voice softened.
20:23And if he really does end up seeing eye to eye with that girl, that would be a good thing
20:26too.
20:27After all, love always needs a little impulse, don't you think?
20:30After that, Chloe lowered her head slightly, waiting for Simon to respond.
20:33But Simon's thoughts had already drifted far away.
20:36That night by the river, when I had stood there alone, saving me had been an impulse too.
20:39Back then, his eyes and heart had been full of Chloe.
20:42He hated that his brother had swept in and taken the woman he wanted.
20:46Yet, he couldn't bring himself to hate the woman he loved.
20:49All he had wanted was for her to be happy.
20:52Then Mark got engaged to me, and Simon thought he had finally been given a chance.
20:56But at the very last moment, the groom had abandoned his bride to go to Chloe instead.
21:01The instant Simon saw my fall into the water, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.
21:04If I could be saved by him, if I could be loved by him, then I would stop clinging to
21:09Mark.
21:10Chloe could marry safely into the Davis family, and Simon could live in the same family as her.
21:16In its own way, maybe that would count as another kind of happy ending.
21:20He had thought the beginning of their relationship was nothing more than calculation, and a sacrifice made for someone else.
21:26But then there was that one time I fell asleep with my head resting on his shoulder.
21:31He sat there for more than an hour without moving, afraid of waking me.
21:35And in that moment, a voice inside him said,
21:38Maybe this is enough.
21:39Maybe a lifetime like this would be enough.
21:42He had been grateful for that impulsive decision back then.
21:45Whatever his motives had been at the start, at least they had led him to me.
21:49He just never expected Mark to die so soon.
21:51Simon, a car accident, one minute alive, the next gone.
21:54Overnight, Chloe became a widow, and Simon's parents poured all their grief over losing a son onto her.
21:59In front of the whole family, they called her a bad omen on the family, with red-rimmed eyes.
22:04Chloe had begged him.
22:06Simon, please help me.
22:09When Simon finally came back to himself, he found Chloe was looking at him.
22:14Come on, let's head out first.
22:17Chloe pressed her lips together and said nothing more.
22:19She simply followed him outside.
22:22The moment they stepped out of the hall.
22:28Simon, something's wrong.
22:29Simon shot his hand up and clamped it over the groomsman's mouth.
22:33Lower your voice.
22:34The live feed is still on.
22:35The man forcibly swallowed the words that were already at his lips.
22:39Simon let go, shifted slightly to block the camera.
22:42Say it.
22:43Simon.
22:45Hazel is gone.
22:47Nora isn't there either.
22:49Simon frowned, but he still kept his composure.
22:51What happened?
22:54Congratulations to the 50th couple on the successful signing!
23:00Now all couples, please gather in the center of the lawn.
23:03Applause and cheers surged from every direction.
23:05Simon lifted his head slightly.
23:06For some reason, it felt as if something had just jabbed him in the chest.
23:10The groomsman who had been guarding the door to room 302 looked like he was about to cry.
23:14Simon, the two of us were outside room 302 and somehow someone came up behind us and knocked us out.
23:19When we came to, everyone was gone.
23:22Simon froze for a second and then his face darkened.
23:25She may have found out.
23:27The groomsmaid's eyes widened.
23:29What is there to do?
23:30Simon adjusted his night, his expression flat.
23:33I already guessed she'd react like this.
23:40Before, if he showed even a little extra concern for Chloe, I would quietly showed my displeasure.
23:48I never said it out loud, but he could always tell.
23:50That was why he had never asked me to help him deceive his parents and let him marry Chloe under
23:54their noses to secure Chloe's future.
23:56Because I would never have agreed.
23:57This large reality TV wedding had simply given him an opportunity.
24:02Now that I had discovered I'd been switched out, of course I was furious.
24:06But after the anger passed, he was sure he could calm me down.
24:09Three years ago, when I had been pulled out of the river, I had trembled in his arms.
24:14He stayed with me through the hardest time of my life.
24:18He took me out to restaurants, went with me to therapy, and helped me regain the weight I had lost.
24:23Every one of my friends knew him.
24:25My mother treated him like a son.
24:26Even in the hospital, when I refused to listen to anyone else, I would still listen to him.
24:32Let me throw a fit if I wanted to.
24:35As long as I didn't do it in front of the cameras and ruin his plan, it didn't matter.
24:40Once we got back, he had a hundred ways to soothe me.
24:43Simon turned to look at the lively crowd gathered on the lawn.
24:46He couldn't put his finger on why, but something still felt wrong.
24:50Even so, he quickly pushed down that unease and turned to Chloe with a gentle smile.
24:55Come on.
24:56Let's go say hi to Luke.
24:58Simon, I just saw Luke leave.
25:01Simon frowned.
25:02They hadn't seen each other in years, and he had wanted to use this chance to properly catch up with
25:07him.
25:08Aren't we doing a group photo?
25:10How are you supposed to take it with one couple missing?
25:40The staff member checked the list, then looked up.
25:42Taking vows with another woman and marrying her.
25:44Could she survive that?
25:46Simon's hand curled tightly without him realizing it.
25:49Chloe stepped closer and smiled.
25:51Looks like Luke and that girl are serious.
25:53He just got married, and he's already going to see his mother-in-law with her.
25:57Simon said nothing.
25:59We'll have to send him a big wedding gift later.
26:01Chloe moved a little closer.
26:03Come on, let's go take the group photo first.
26:05Her eyes were bright as she looked at him, waiting for Simon to nod.
26:09At last, Simon turned his head, looked at Chloe, and then at the dozens of couples gathering in the center
26:13of the lawn.
26:14Veils stretched across the crowd in a sea of white, festive and lively.
26:18Everything in his plan had gone smoothly.
26:20The papers had been signed, the whole country had seen it live, and even if his parents wanted to object
26:25now, it was too late.
26:27As for the group photo, Simon took a deep breath.
26:30I'm not doing the group photo, I'm going to the hospital first.
26:33I'm coming with you.
26:34What for?
26:35I'm worried about you.
26:37If you go alone and her mother gets angry and starts yelling at you, what then?
26:41If I'm there, at least I can help explain things.
26:44Besides, what happened today started because of me.
26:46I should go apologize to her.
26:48Simon hesitated for two seconds, then didn't refuse again.
26:52Once they were on the road, Simon drove fast the whole way.
26:56The truth was, after all these years, he already knew my temperament inside out.
27:00Whenever I got hurt, I never made a scene in front of him.
27:03I would only go hide with my mother by myself.
27:05This in, he had switched brides without telling me.
27:08I had to be there crying.
27:09He had already put the jewelry and bouquet he meant to use for his apology in the trunk.
27:14So going straight to the hospital to find me was the most convenient option.
27:17By the time he reached the floor where my mother's room was, he turned the corner and stopped dead in
27:22his tracks.
27:23Luke was leaning against the wall outside the room, holding an apple and peeling it.
27:27Luke lifted his head and glanced at him, but his hand never stopped moving as he peeled the apple.
27:32My mother-in-law wanted to see me, so I came.
27:34Something exploded in Simon's head.
27:36Mother-in-law? Luke's mother-in-law?
27:39Brian the Mouchin, have two pas dronkwong.
27:41All at once, things in his mind were slowly beginning to fall into place.
27:46Luke, what a coincidence.
27:48Thanks for helping today.
27:50By the way, who did you end up getting paired with?
27:52We didn't even get the chance to ask before you left.
27:54Luke said nothing.
27:55He lowered his head again and kept peeling the apple.
27:58She almost started doubting her own charm.
28:00The smile on Chloe's face was starting to slip.
28:02This man was supposed to be helping her, and yet he had been cold to her the entire time.
28:08She was just about to ask again, when the hospital room door, which had been left slightly a burk,
28:13suddenly carried a familiar voice from inside.
28:16Darling, why is it taking you so long to peel an apple?
28:18Mom's getting impatient.
28:21The moment Simon heard it, his whole body went rigid.
28:24That voice.
28:25He had listened to it for three years.
28:27He could have recognized it even with his eyes closed.
28:31She had called him, Darling?
28:33You heard her.
28:34My wife's calling me.
28:36Simon shoved the door open so hard, it slammed into the wall with a loud bang.
28:40My mother was half propped up against the headboard.
28:42Her face was yellow with illness, but looked in fairly good spirits.
28:45She was holding a gift box and trying to press it into my hands.
28:48Mom, shouldn't you be handing that to your son-in-law yourself?
28:51At the sound of the door, I turned around.
28:54The moment I saw Simon, my smile did not change.
28:56I only gave him a cool, passing glance, then looked past him towards Luke by the door.
29:01Darling, Mom's giving us a gift.
29:03Aren't you going to come take it?
29:04Hazel, come outside with me.
29:05I need to talk to you.
29:06Whatever you have to say, say it here.
29:08She's exhausted after today and doesn't want to move.
29:11Simon's fists clenched as he ground out through his teeth.
29:13Luke, do you have any fucking idea what you're doing?
29:16She's my fiancée.
29:17Former fiancée.
29:19Before today, she was your fiancée.
29:21After today, she's my wife.
29:23Legally.
29:24The government seal's already on it.
29:25Want to take a look?
29:27Simon was shaking with anger.
29:29Hazel, do you really have to do this just to spite me?
29:33I was only a little late, and you went and married someone else?
29:36What do all these years between us mean to you?
29:40I laughed when I heard that.
29:41You think I'm doing this to get back at you?
29:44He had imagined every possible outcome except that I would be this ruthless,
29:47marrying a man I had only met a few times.
29:50What I mean is, if you had just waited...
29:53Wait for what?
29:55Wait under a veil for someone who was never going to come lift it?
29:59Simon's face went pale.
30:00He froze for a second, unable to stand how calm and indifferent I was.
30:05Didn't you always want a wedding that was truly yours?
30:07We can do it over.
30:09You can have the bridal party stop me at the door and...
30:12Sorry.
30:13I'm not planning to do this a second time.
30:17Simon's heart went cold in an instant.
30:19Three years of chasing, two years of dating, and I had always been the one waiting for him right where
30:23he had left me.
30:24When he worked late, I waited.
30:26When he broke plans, I waited.
30:28When he took Chloe on trips to cheer her up, I still waited.
30:31What we have doesn't need that kind of formality.
30:34Every time he said that, I would smile and nod.
30:36He had thought I really didn't care.
30:38He had thought that even if something went wrong today, at worst I would cry, make a scene, but now,
30:43I had actually married another man.
30:45No, no, this doesn't count.
30:47That paper in your hand doesn't count.
30:48It was just a TV married.
30:50Luke only married you to fill a spot.
30:52We can go to court and get it annoyed.
30:54Why would I?
30:55I found that almost funny.
30:57Does it only count if I signed it with you?
31:01He's not good enough for you.
31:02What do you think he's after?
31:03He used to call you stupid.
31:05Now he just thinks you're easy to fool.
31:07Luke let out a short laugh and didn't deny it.
31:10Do you know what he used to say to me in private?
31:11The biggest mistake of your life.
31:13He said the biggest mistake of your life was getting involved with me.
31:15He said you were stupid.
31:16Those were his exact words.
31:18I turned and glanced at Luke.
31:19Let me correct one thing.
31:20I said it to your face, not in private.
31:23Simon grabbed me by the wrist.
31:24See? I told you, he's never respected you.
31:27Come back with me and we'll live our life the way we're supposed to.
31:30I lowered my eyes to his hand around my wrist.
31:33Simon, you're hurting me.
31:34Simon let go of me almost by reflex.
31:37And I rolled my wrist once, a faint smile tugging at my lips.
31:41But wasn't that what you thought too?
31:43Weren't you with me because I was stupid?
31:45Because I was easy to fool?
31:47And because I believed so completely in some kind of soul-deep love
31:50that I'd never stand in the way of you and my precious sister
31:52acting out your little rescue fantasy?
31:55Simon froze.
31:55He wanted to explain, but my mother spoke from the bed first.
31:59You're already married to someone else.
32:01What are you still doing here?
32:04What happened today was all a misunderstanding.
32:06I...
32:06There is no misunderstanding.
32:08My mother cut him off, pressed the gift box into my hands,
32:10and looked at Simon.
32:11I watched the broadcast.
32:13You married someone else and my daughter married someone else.
32:16From here on, you live your life and she'll live hers.
32:19That's for the best.
32:20Thank you for what you did before.
32:22As for the future, don't concern yourself.
32:24My son-in-law's name is Luke, not Simon.
32:27Simon stood there, drained.
32:28Chloe tugged his sleeve.
32:29Simon, let's go for now.
32:31We can come back another day.
32:32Simon shook off her hand and stared at me.
32:34Cecil, it's not what you think.
32:35Listen to me.
32:36Listen to what?
32:37Listen to you explain why you promised me,
32:39then turned around and married my sister?
32:42Or why, knowing she'd already stolen one fiancé from me,
32:44you let her steal a second?
32:46Simon stilled for a second.
32:47He wanted to say, that certificate doesn't count.
32:50He wanted to say, I was wrong.
32:52But I had already turned away and handed the apple to Luke.
32:54Darling, peel another one.
32:55I want one, too.
32:57No one paid him any attention, as if he were air.
33:01Chloe tugged him three times before she got that shattered, hollow-eyed man
33:05back to the Davis estate.
33:07The moment he stepped in, a glass smashed at his feet.
33:09You idiot!
33:11What the hell have you done?
33:13Did you even know Hay was once pregnant with your child?
33:16The woman next to you is the reason she lost that baby!
33:22Simon jerked his head up and looked at Chloe.
33:24You drugged Hazel and caused her to lose our baby?
33:28Chloe stepped back.
33:30I didn't mean to.
33:32I just didn't know that medicine couldn't be taken by a pregnant woman.
33:36I didn't know she was pregnant!
33:39What difference does that make?
33:42It doesn't change that she lost that child because of you.
33:47Who knows whether you meant it or not!
33:50Simon's vision blurred.
33:52Just two days ago, they had still been discussing the wedding details.
33:56She had been in his arms, holding back her words again and again,
33:59and in the end only smiled and said,
34:02It's nothing.
34:03He hadn't thought much of it then.
34:05He had no idea she had suffered so much and was still looking forward to their wedding.
34:09That had been his last chance to keep her.
34:12Simon's knees gave out, and he dropped to the floor.
34:16I didn't know it was like this.
34:18She was such a good girl.
34:20She always wanted her own wedding,
34:21and she still agreed to that ridiculous reality TV wedding for you.
34:25And what did you do?
34:26In front of everyone, you signed a marriage license with the woman who stole her fiancé and took her child
34:31from her.
34:31How do you think she felt?
34:33Her mother was lying in a hospital bed, watching it all live.
34:36What does that do to the Davis family's name?
34:38Simon, I'm going to find her.
34:41Simon, calm down.
34:42Get away from me.
34:43You did this!
34:47Stop him!
34:48Let me go!
34:49I need to apologize to her!
34:51I need to find her!
34:53Simon's mother walked over and slapped him across the face.
34:58Mom, let me go.
34:59What difference would it make if you went now?
35:02Simon, you humiliated her on television first.
35:05If you could sign with someone else, why couldn't she?
35:08His father sat on the sofa and lit a cigar.
35:11After a long silence, he finally spoke.
35:14Two things.
35:15First, tomorrow you're going to Luke's house.
35:18I don't care what it takes.
35:19You will beg Hazel to forgive you, get her to divorce Luke, and bring her back.
35:22Second, have the lawyers drop the papers tonight.
35:26You are ending this absurd marriage to Chloe.
35:29Mr. and Mrs. Davis, please, I'm begging you.
35:33Please, give Simon and me your blessing.
35:35Ever since Mark died, Simon has been there for me.
35:38We really do love each other.
35:39Simon's mother looked down at Chloe, disgusted.
35:42We told you long ago that if you were willing to leave this city and keep your head down,
35:45we would set up a generous trust in the Davis family's name for you.
35:48You'd be set for life.
35:49And instead, look what you've done.
35:52What kind of foolishness is this?
35:54Chloe's sobbing caught in her throat.
35:56Simon, already daisied, felt a bucket of ice water dumped over his head.
35:59He slowly looked at Chloe.
36:01But what you told me was that my parents called you a curse and were going to cast you out
36:05with nothing.
36:06You cried and begged me to save you.
36:08You said the only way you could survive was by becoming my lawful wife.
36:11Simon, listen to me.
36:12They really did say...
36:13You are nothing but a liar!
36:16I keep records.
36:18I emailed you the compensation details so there'd be no confusion.
36:20Yet you fed Simon that nonsense about being left with nothing and having nowhere to go just to manipulate him!
36:26Simon's face went completely white.
36:28He remembered all the times Chloe had come to him in tears,
36:31saying his parents had said cruel things again.
36:34Then let's get married.
36:35Once you're my wife, they won't be able to treat you like you're nothing.
36:38She threw herself into his arms, crying.
36:41From beginning to end, she never gave him a single concrete detail.
36:44He had imagined the rest himself.
36:47He had walked right into it.
36:50For a lie,
36:52he had personally pushed the woman he loved most into someone else's arms.
36:56In the news coverage,
36:57one couple who had left early was getting into their car
37:00when a reporter jogged over with a cameraman and held out a microphone.
37:03Hi, a quick interview.
37:05As the last couple to complete the signing today, any words?
37:08Luke stood beside me.
37:09I glanced at him.
37:10He just lifted a brow as if to say,
37:12Go ahead.
37:13I smiled at the camera.
37:14Actually, standing here today, there's one person I need to thank.
37:18The reporter's eyes lit up,
37:20and she pushed the microphone closer.
37:22From the moment I met him,
37:23every time we ran into each other,
37:25he acted like he couldn't stand me,
37:26and every word out of his mouth was sharp.
37:29Luke let out a quiet huff beside me.
37:31Later, I realized he just thought I was too stupid.
37:33There was obviously a pit right in front of me,
37:35and I still insisted on jumping in.
37:37He hinted, he outright said it more than once,
37:40but I wouldn't listen.
37:41So he turned on me,
37:42and our already bad relationship got even worse.
37:45And then?
37:46Then I realized he was right about everything.
37:48A pit is a pit.
37:50Once you jump in, you don't climb back out.
37:52And when I looked back,
37:53he was the only one standing in the distance shouting,
37:55Don't jump.
37:56I didn't listen then.
37:59But I guess God figured I wasn't hopelessly stupid after all,
38:02so he arranged for us to end up in the same place on the same day.
38:06So you think it was fate?
38:08I guess so.
38:10In the end, we still found our way to each other.
38:13The reporter and camera pan both laughed.
38:15What about your plans for the future?
38:17First, we're going to see her mother.
38:20Thank you. Congratulations.
38:22Luke opened the car door for me.
38:25I bent down and got in,
38:26and he went around to the other side and got in too.
38:30You slipped into the husband role pretty fast just now.
38:33Luke kept his eyes on the road,
38:34but the corner of his mouth lifted.
38:36What else was I supposed to do?
38:37You could have kept a little distance.
38:39No.
38:39If I married you, I wasn't going to act like a stranger.
38:41I laughed softly and didn't answer.
38:43That made me think of the first time Luke and I met.
38:46After Simon and I started dating,
38:48he took me out to dinner with a few college friends.
38:51You're Hazel, right?
38:52Don't trust Simon too much.
38:53He's like that with everyone,
38:54especially with that walking disaster, Chloe.
38:57At the time, I thought he was ridiculous.
38:59Later, we ran into each other a few more times,
39:01and each time his attitude got worse.
39:03What exactly do you see in Simon?
39:05He has a savior complex.
39:06Today it's you by his side.
39:07Tomorrow it'll be someone else.
39:10The last time I saw Luke
39:11was after Simon and I got engaged.
39:13Have you completely lost it?
39:15I told you to stay away from him,
39:16and now you're actually going to marry him?
39:17What does he have over me?
39:20And then he hung up.
39:21Next day, Simon told me Luke had gone to Europe
39:23and had blocked us both on social media.
39:25At the time, I thought it was laughable.
39:26What right did he have to stick his nose into our relationship?
39:29Looking back now,
39:30he was probably the only one
39:32who saw Simon clearly from the very beginning.
39:34His way of expressing it had just been too extreme.
39:38I've always believed that the people who help you once
39:41will help you again,
39:42and the people who won't help you never will.
39:44So when I found out he had been paired with Chloe this time,
39:47I knew he was there to help me.
39:50Early the next morning,
39:51Simon showed up at Luke's house
39:53with a bouquet of roses,
39:54banging on the door.
39:55Luke's parents had moved to the south side years ago,
39:57and no longer lived there,
39:59so no one answered.
40:00He called me,
40:01only to find I'd already blocked him.
40:03After hundreds of calls in a single night,
40:05I guess I'd finally had enough.
40:07He tried my mother's number too,
40:09but no one answered.
40:10Only when he got to the hospital
40:11did he learn she had already been transferred.
40:13He searched the whole city like a madman,
40:16and three months later,
40:17he finally found me in the park I used to go to.
40:19He rushed towards me with red eyes and begged,
40:21Hazel, I'm here to bring you home.
40:23I won't have anything to do with Chloe ever again.
40:25You're the one I've loved all along.
40:27Get a dors and come back to me, okay?
40:29We'll have children again, Hazel.
40:30I swear I'll be a good father.
40:32There will be-
40:33Before he could finish,
40:34I pulled a pregnancy report from my bag
40:36and placed it in his hand.
40:38But it's not yours.
40:40Simon's hand began to shake.
40:42You're pregnant?
40:44With Luke's baby?
40:46Then what about me, Hazel?
40:48What am I supposed to do?
40:49How can you be this cruel?
40:51I looked at him,
40:52my eyes calm and emotionless.
40:54Simon, there is no one in this world
40:56more cruel than you.
40:57I turned and walked toward Luke,
40:59standing not far away.
41:02Then I took his hand
41:03and we walked away together.
41:07In the morning light,
41:08our shadows overlapped,
41:09as though we had never truly been apart.
41:12in the night light,
41:14tomorrow,
41:14only a few days out.
41:14we didn't say anything.
