00:00A woman tried to win back her first love, swallowing her pride and begging him to stay.
00:04She waited anxiously for Mike's answer, but he kept dodging the question.
00:07Seeing that he couldn't get the words out, Anna pressed him again, asking if he still
00:11liked her.
00:12Then she boldly suggested they get married, but Mike's answer hurt her all over again.
00:16He said they weren't right for each other 5 years ago, and they still weren't right
00:19now.
00:19Anna forced a smile and said she was just joking.
00:22She bitterly laughed off how much her acting had improved over the past 5 years.
00:25Seeing her so hurt, Mike felt terrible but couldn't do anything about it.
00:29After he walked away, Anna finally broke down and cried.
00:32Even after 5 years, she still couldn't get over him.
00:35As tears blurred her vision, flashbacks of their time together flooded her mind.
00:38The man who promised to be with her every year had been gone for 5 years.
00:41The truth was Mike still loved her too, but the gap between their lives was too wide.
00:45Anna was a top celebrity, living under the spotlight.
00:48Mike was just an ordinary guy.
00:50What made it even harder was that they couldn't be seen together in public.
00:53Every meeting had to be disguised, with him pretending to be her cousin.
00:56At first it didn't bother him that much, but when he saw gifts from her fans, that cost
01:01way more than the necklace he saved months to buy, he started feeling insecure.
01:04He quietly put the necklace back in his pocket.
01:06He thought he could let go of the relationship, but when he saw another man pursuing Anna, he
01:11couldn't help feeling jealous.
01:12Watching that guy act like he owned her, made Mike furious.
01:15Anna never understood why she was the one who got dumped.
01:17She had just won best actress at the time.
01:20It should have been a happy moment, but Mike suddenly turned cold, and broke up with her
01:24out of nowhere.
01:24At first Anna thought it was because of some rumors.
01:27She figured she'd deal with it in a few days, but when she tried to contact Mike again, she
01:31found he had blocked her everywhere.
01:32She rushed to his workplace, only to learn he had quit his job.
01:36Just like that, Mike vanished without a trace.
01:38For five whole years, it became a wound on Anna's heart that never fully healed.
01:42But fate gave them another chance.
01:43On a promotional poster for a show, Anna spotted Mike's face by accident.
01:47She didn't care about her superstar status.
01:49She dropped a project worth hundreds of millions, and went straight to the production set without
01:53hesitation.
01:54But all she got was Mike's cold, distant attitude.
01:57He thought that would finally make her give up.
01:59But the very next day, she showed up at his door, and demanded that he become her personal
02:03bodyguard.
02:04It was Anna's last act of defiance.
02:06It was the only way she could get close to him.
02:08But Mike stayed icy.
02:09She kept hitting walls.
02:10She kept getting shut down.
02:12Anna was completely heartbroken.
02:13She drank herself into a stupor.
02:15The moment Mike heard about it, he rushed over.
02:17Seeing the woman he loved drunk out of her mind, and calling his name over and over,
02:21Mike still tried to keep his distance.
02:23Then his eyes landed on an old stuffed toy by the bed.
02:25It was the birthday gift he had given her five years ago.
02:28Suddenly all his longing and guilt came rushing back.
02:30He carefully placed the toy on Anna's chest, and gently pulled the blanket over her.
02:34Every move he made was filled with unspoken tenderness.
02:37But the warmth didn't last long.
02:39Danger was already closing in.
