TVTranscript
00:05I was 18 again, back to the day I confessed to my childhood friend.
00:12The crowd was cheering, egging us on.
00:15Blake just stared at my tear-reddened eyes and asked coldly,
00:19Megan, is chasing clout really that fun for you?
00:22He turned a tender gaze toward the girl he's actually into.
00:25Give me a sec, Haley. I'll handle this and catch up with you in a bit.
00:30Why are you always such a crybaby? Go hit the books.
00:35Stop obsessing over romance 24-7.
00:37Blake's lecturing grated on my nerves.
00:39Annoyed, I shoved him aside.
00:41I lunged at the school's resident badass watching the drama from the back.
00:45I clung to him, gasping through my tears.
00:50Honey, I missed you so much.
00:5218-year-old Cole was alive, so there's still time for everything.
00:56Before he died, Cole made us pinky swear.
00:58He made me promise to live to a hundred before finding him.
01:01I gave him my word, only to turn around and break it.
01:04Three days after his death, I ended it all.
01:06Yet, when I opened my eyes, I was 18 again.
01:11Yes!
01:13In the surging crowd, I spotted the striking blonde boy at first glance.
01:17Cole stood in an unnoticed corner, his gaze drifting over me.
01:20Seemingly casual, yet entirely deliberate.
01:22Tears spilled over instantly as I looked at him.
01:24I started toward him, but Blake's voice cut in.
01:27Megan, is chasing cloud really that fun for you?
01:31I only just noticed Blake in front of me and couldn't help but frown, my expression turning cold.
01:36The lively atmosphere froze until Haley spoke up to break the awkwardness.
01:39Blake, we still need to confirm your award speech.
01:43Wait for me a second.
01:44I'll handle this and catch up with you in a bit.
01:46Haley had great grades, just like Blake.
01:48Classmates joked they were a match made in heaven.
01:50Facing those comments, Haley just dismissively dropped a line.
01:53I'm not some trophy girl who only thinks about romance.
01:56Back then, Blake looked at her with a rare sense of admiration.
01:59He once told me he wasn't into boring girls, who only cared about love.
02:03Back then, I only had eyes for him.
02:05I was delusional enough to think he wouldn't humiliate me if I confessed on my birthday.
02:09It wasn't until later that I realized he didn't like me at all.
02:12He even thought I was using emotional blackmail on him, just like this very moment.
02:16Hit the books, Megan.
02:17Stop wasting your life on stupid love drama.
02:20I was stunned on the spot.
02:22Whispers rippled through the crowd.
02:24Look, Megan's about to cry.
02:25So pathetic.
02:26She's chased Blake for so long, but Blake won't even give her the time of day.
02:30She's such a joke.
02:32I'm embarrassed for her.
02:33In my past life, I really did cry my eyes out because of the humiliation.
02:37But right now, my eyes were only on the blonde boy in the corner.
02:40I stared straight at him, mouth trembling, unable to make a sound as tears kept flowing.
02:45Seeing me like this, Blake frowned and sighed.
02:47Megan, why are you such a crybaby?
02:49To the current me, Blake was incredibly annoying.
02:52He wouldn't stop yapping, and he was also blocking my view.
02:54I pushed Blake away hard and ran toward the blonde boy, hugging him tightly.
02:58Honey, I miss you so much.
03:00Babe, you're alive.
03:01Thank God.
03:02His chest was warm, and he smelled like mint.
03:04I held Cole, my head buried in his chest, sobbing uncontrollably, but Cole's body stiffened.
03:09Wait, you've got the wrong person, right?
03:12Before I even looked up, Cole's face had turned red all the way to his ears.
03:18Megan, who are you calling babe?
03:21How many times are you going to use the same trick?
03:22To be fair, that's true.
03:23In my past life, I often faked being close to other guys to make Blake jealous.
03:27He'd get angry.
03:28Sometimes, he'd casually comfort me.
03:30But this time, it was Cole, the infamous bad boy he'd looked down on the most.
03:35I hugged Cole, crying even harder.
03:37Whoa, babe, you're really alive.
03:39I could hardly believe this was real.
03:40I shoved my hands under his shirt, frantic to check his chest for that fatal thing.
03:45Cole was terrified by my actions.
03:49What the fuck?
03:50What are you doing?
03:51Take off your shirt and let me see.
03:53His face flushed instantly.
03:54Are you crazy?
03:55I'm not an easy guy.
03:57Please, babe, let me see, okay?
03:59Please, just let me look.
04:01Cole didn't know where to put his hands.
04:02He helplessly lowered his voice in the end.
04:04I'll show you when no one's around, okay?
04:06Blake watched us with open disgust.
04:08Megan, so many people are watching.
04:11Don't you feel ashamed?
04:12This time, I'm not going to coke you.
04:14In fact, Blake left without looking back.
04:16The crowd broke up on a sour note.
04:24Princess, the show is over.
04:25Are you going to let go now?
04:26Cole's mocking voice came from above my head.
04:28I kept shaking my head, clinging to his neck and sobbing.
04:32I'm not letting go.
04:33I'll never let go of you in this life.
04:35At 18, my legs weren't broken yet.
04:37I didn't have depression.
04:38Cole hadn't taken a knife from me yet either.
04:40There's still time for everything.
04:42Cole was in total shock, and he started making threats.
04:44Then I'll carry you out of here.
04:46Cole carried me out of the classroom.
04:47But as soon as we stepped out, the dean's voice rang out.
04:49Cole, why aren't you at practice?
04:51What are you doing acting like a thug, carrying your classmate around?
04:55I still hugged Cole tightly, seeing I wouldn't budge.
04:57Cole explained, his face red.
04:59Her leg is broken.
05:00I'm taking her to the health center.
05:02The dean's tone softened a little.
05:04I didn't realize you were so caring.
05:05I suddenly remembered that this was just how Cole was in my past life.
05:09He took me around the world just to heal my leg, never missing a single day of my rehab.
05:13Once the dean left, Cole looked at me, a bit frustrated.
05:16Seriously, Princess Megan?
05:17What kind of show were you putting on?
05:20Babe, don't leave me again.
05:21Cole seemed creeped out by me and gritted his teeth.
05:23Stop calling me that!
05:24Who the hell is your babe?
05:26I pouted sadly.
05:27You are my babe.
05:28I love you the most.
05:30Cole looked like he was about to snap.
05:31He reminded me in a low voice.
05:33Did you forget who threw away my love letter yesterday?
05:37That was so awkward.
05:39Cole really did confess to me.
05:41Back then, I stomped his love letter under my feet.
05:44I hate thugs like you, who are all brawn and no brains.
05:47Actually, I didn't hate Cole that much, but Blake couldn't stand him, so I just followed Blake's lead and treated
05:52Cole like an enemy.
05:54Blake hated all idiots, especially guys like Cole, who had bad grades and acted like a bully at school.
05:59I blinked and explained sincerely.
06:00Actually, what I did yesterday was a test for you.
06:03Babe, I'm into you.
06:04I only like you.
06:05Cole's mouth twitched slightly.
06:06Can you stop calling me babe?
06:07No.
06:08Fine, call me whatever the hell you want.
06:10But Megan, you're a person, not a dog.
06:12Can you get off me first?
06:14But babe, I want to hold you a little longer.
06:16Cole's Adam's apple bobbed, and even the tips of his ears turned red.
06:20I burst out laughing.
06:21Eighteen-year-old Cole was a bit grumpy, but also very cute.
06:26Cole turned and carried me to the health center where his uncle worked.
06:30Uncle, check her out.
06:31She seems a little off.
06:32His uncle pushed up his glasses, and he checked my heartbeat with a stethoscope.
06:36Bloodshot eyes, severe anxiety.
06:39Looks like a nasty case of insomnia and a major anxiety attack.
06:42He said, as he wrote me a prescription.
06:44Take two Valium first and get some sleep.
06:47I'll check again when you wake up.
06:49Cole put me on the small health center bed and told me,
06:52Wait here.
06:52Don't follow me.
06:54I'll be right back.
06:56I didn't listen, and quietly followed him to the door.
07:00The hallway was quiet.
07:02I heard Cole lean into his uncle and whisper,
07:06Uncle, is there any way, any medicine that could keep her this weird forever?
07:11I felt a surge of joy inside.
07:14Cole was the same as always.
07:16His words said one thing.
07:18But his actions always betrayed him.
07:20His feelings for me had never changed.
07:23And I shouldn't waste my time or my heart on Blake anymore.
07:26Cole, this time, I'd be the one to choose you.
07:31Blake's family took me in.
07:33Our parents were long-time friends.
07:36When I was ten, my parents died in an accident.
07:42Blake's parents became my guardians.
07:45At the funeral, Blake held my hand tight and said,
07:49Megan, you still have me.
07:50I'll always be with you.
07:51I moved into his house.
07:54They were all so kind to me and treated me like I was already their daughter-in-law until I
07:58broke my leg in my past life.
08:00After that, things changed.
08:01They started telling me,
08:02Megan, we've always seen you as our own daughter.
08:05And Blake sees you as a sister.
08:09Don't worry.
08:10We'll find you a good husband.
08:11Thinking back, I somehow find it almost absurd to be facing them now.
08:16Emma, Richard, you don't need to pick up Blake and me anymore.
08:18I want to study at the library.
08:20They exchanged a surprised look.
08:21Megan, don't pressure yourself.
08:23Just let Blake tutor you more.
08:24No, thanks.
08:25He's busy with competitions lately.
08:26I won't bother him.
08:28Did you two have a fight?
08:30No, he treats me well, just like a real brother.
08:33Blake's gaze paused.
08:34He glanced at me but said nothing.
08:38I went back to my bedroom after dinner.
08:40The moment I lay down, that familiar feeling hit me again.
08:44Insomnia.
08:45Back then, when my depression was severe, I couldn't sleep through the night.
08:49I had to rely on sleeping pills.
08:51Later on, it was Cole who finally helped me sleep through the night and gave me my peace back.
08:57I suddenly really wanted to see Cole.
08:59So I texted him to come over.
09:01Then I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
09:03Blake was actually there.
09:04Eat a few bites.
09:05You barely touched dinner.
09:07Still mad about earlier today?
09:09I was just annoyed that your mind wasn't on your studies.
09:14Alright, stop acting out, okay?
09:15He always did this.
09:16Saying something sweet after I got hurt.
09:18I was so spineless in my past life.
09:20Forgiving him over and over.
09:23Lying to myself that he liked me.
09:24He touched my hair again.
09:26His tone soft and sweet.
09:28Do you think our kids would be as dumb as you?
09:30He said this in my past life too.
09:31I was so moved back then.
09:33Thinking he was planning our future.
09:35Until I heard him tell Haley the same thing.
09:37I hope our kids get your brains.
09:39Don't worry, we won't have kids.
09:42Megan, I'm busy.
09:43I don't have time to deal with your weird tantrums.
09:45It won't happen again.
09:47Where are you going?
09:48I didn't answer.
09:49I just opened the door.
09:50Under the streetlight, Cole was leaning against the old oak tree.
09:53Hands in his pockets.
09:55His blonde hair was kind of messy in the wind.
09:58Why'd you call me here?
09:59Ignoring Blake behind me, I ran down the steps.
10:02I threw myself into Cole's arms and gave him a hard kiss.
10:08Babe, I'm sleeping with you tonight.
10:11Just as I said that, there was a thug.
10:13Blake's glass smashed on the floor.
10:15He stood on the porch, staring at us in shock.
10:20Cole looked stunned, holding his hands up.
10:22Wait, Megan, I'm not down for this.
10:24I can't sleep without you.
10:25I held him tight, my voice tired and tearful.
10:28Babe, I just really want to sleep.
10:30Cole snapped again, swearing under his breath.
10:32Fine, sleep then.
10:34Just get off me first.
10:35Giving a smug smile, I linked my arm through Cole's and walked away.
10:38Right then, Blake rushed over.
10:41Megan, are you done with the act yet?
10:43Blake, are you full of yourself?
10:45Why would I need to put on a show for you?
10:46Blake stopped bothering us, looking dark as he watched us leave.
10:50Cole lived alone.
10:52I walked straight to his bedroom as soon as the door opened.
10:55I just lay on his bed when he grabbed his pillow and ran to the living room.
10:59I caught his wrist.
11:00Where are you going?
11:02On the couch?
11:04No, sleep with me.
11:06Babe, I really can't sleep if you're not here.
11:08In my past life, Cole was like my sleeping pill.
11:11With him, I could sleep peacefully.
11:12Without him, I'd stay awake until dawn.
11:14It flumed and flopped onto the other side of the bed.
11:17Fine, it's not my loss anyway.
11:19Just so you know, I'm not some good student.
11:22I'm crazy enough to do anything.
11:23He shouted, but his ears were bright red.
11:25I happily moved closer and hugged him from behind.
11:28His back was broad and warm.
11:29I could feel his muscles through his t-shirt, closing my eyes.
11:32I rested my forehead between his shoulder blades.
11:34Then, my hand habitually slid down.
11:37He jolted up.
11:38Megan!
11:38What are you touching?
11:41Holding it makes me feel safe.
11:44You feel safe?
11:46But what about me?
11:46He shielded himself tightly, looking exactly like an offended virgin.
11:50But you clearly loved sleeping naked while I held you.
11:52What?
11:53Since when do I like sleeping naked?
11:55After we got together.
11:57After we got married.
11:58Cole loved sleeping naked, and insisted I do too.
12:01He said skin-to-skin contact felt the best.
12:03Honestly, it really did feel good.
12:05Cole stared at me, looking completely confused.
12:08Megan, are you possessed by something?
12:10Do you need to feed on men to stay alive?
12:13So, will you let me devour you?
12:16His face went red, and he rejected me like he meant it.
12:21Don't even think about it.
12:23I'm a decent, good student.
12:26But I really can't sleep if you don't hold me.
12:30Babe.
12:32Just a simple hug, okay?
12:36I'm begging you.
12:37I didn't get with Cole until I was 25.
12:40Who'd have thought the future shameless flirt Cole was this pure at 18?
12:4418 was such a pure, reckless age.
12:47Can I at least have a look, then?
12:48For what?
12:51Megan, are you even a girl?
12:53He wrapped me in the quilt like a burrito and pinned down the edges.
12:57Go to sleep.
12:59And don't call me babe anymore.
13:03Familiar scent, the heartbeat, my personal human pillow was back.
13:06I looked at 18-year-old Cole and whispered,
13:09Cole, I'm not sick.
13:10I'm actually from 10 years in the future.
13:13I'm the 28-year-old Megan.
13:15Why don't you just say you're Jesus reincarnated?
13:17No cap.
13:18I'm really from 10 years later.
13:21Right, sure.
13:22I'd believe you even if you said you were from Mars.
13:23Not believing me, huh?
13:25I glanced down at his lap.
13:26You have a mole right there?
13:28Fuck!
13:29Megan, when did you peak?
13:30Seven years from now, he paused, his expression slowly turning serious.
13:35Are you really from 10 years in the future?
13:36He couldn't hide his curiosity.
13:38Then did I win the swimming championship?
13:40Of course.
13:41World champion at 22, sweeping every gold at 25.
13:45No one in the world could even touch you.
13:46Was I really that impressive?
13:48What about you?
13:49Did you become a great dancer?
13:51Of course.
13:52Cole's voice sounded cautious and nervous.
13:54Are we together?
13:56Yeah.
13:58After you won at 22, you proposed to me in front of the whole world.
14:01Then do we have kids?
14:03Yeah.
14:04You announced your retirement at 28.
14:06I gradually stepped back from the stage to start teaching.
14:09That year we had our child, I tried to hold back the sting in my nose.
14:13Because he didn't propose the year he won, I was just drifting through life, making a total
14:17mess of everything.
14:1925-year-old Megan was pulled from the abyss by Cole, but she dragged him into the dark.
14:23Luckily, we're only 18 now.
14:25Nothing was set in stone yet.
14:29I woke up feeling totally refreshed.
14:32Cole had left for training early.
14:34He'd been swimming since he was seven, pushing his physical limits every day for years.
14:39That kind of grind was nothing like doing a few worksheets.
14:44I ran into the dean near my classroom.
14:48Megan, how is the rehearsal for the showcase going?
14:51I blanked for a moment, but a classmate answered for me.
14:55Sir, Megan is killing it.
14:56Rehearsals have been going so well.
14:58With Blake's piano, it's going to be stunning.
15:00Well done.
15:00Keep at it then.
15:02I finally remembered the showcase.
15:04As the lead dancer, I was heading up our club's group piece.
15:09Blake was in charge of the piano accompaniment from the wings.
15:12In my past life, I begged Blake for two weeks before he finally agreed.
15:18He complained it was a hassle and a waste of his time.
15:21At the studio, Hayley was late.
15:24Someone mocked her.
15:24Hayley, we're always waiting for you.
15:26Do you have any sense of teamwork?
15:28Hayley looked calm.
15:31Sorry, the principal wanted Blake and me to speak as top graduates at graduation.
15:35Her voice was perfectly level, but it dripped with a sense of superiority.
15:39Someone whispered,
15:40What a show-off.
15:42Once Hayley joined the line, I continued leading the practice.
15:47Come on, let's review yesterday's moves.
15:51Then run the whole thing with Blake.
15:54Everyone was doing well, except Hayley kept missing the beat.
15:58Complaints started popping up.
16:01Hayley, you didn't learn the moves yesterday.
16:04You promised to practice.
16:05So how come you're still falling behind?
16:08Yeah, don't hold us back, okay?
16:10I thought you were a fast learner.
16:12You can't even get such simple moves down?
16:15Everyone started chiming in all at once.
16:19Hayley got visibly ticked off for a second.
16:22It's just a show.
16:24Why should it cut into my study time?
16:27Check your own grades before criticizing others.
16:31How can you even justify wasting time here?
16:34Will dancing even give your college applications a boost?
16:40I couldn't hold back my temper anymore.
16:43Hayley, you're the one who was late and didn't learn the moves.
16:47Now you're shifting the blame to everyone else?
16:51Megan, you just want the spotlight.
16:53Do you really have to use everyone else as your props?
16:57How is Megan showing off?
16:58She's the captain.
17:00If she doesn't lead, should someone like you, who can't tell left from right, do it?
17:05I'm tired of arguing with you.
17:07This is so pointless.
17:09That one sentence pissed everyone off.
17:12Hayley never really fit in at school.
17:13She once said publicly.
17:17I don't like hanging out with girls.
17:20They're too petty.
17:21I'm not like them.
17:23She really was different from us.
17:25While everyone was sneaking romance novels, she always had a classic novel in her hands.
17:30When the teacher asked her to solve a problem, she'd use college-level formulas, Mad.
17:35This is college stuff.
17:36I guess only Blake can understand it.
17:39Most girls at school thought Hayley was a total poser.
17:43But Blake saw her as a soulmate.
17:46He even thought I was getting everyone to shut her out and pick on her.
17:50People said a genius like Blake liked girls who were on his level.
17:54He looked down on someone simple-minded like me.
17:59I clapped my hands indifferently.
18:02Fine then, Hayley.
18:04You're out.
18:05After all, the way you dance is really hilarious.
18:11Another round of laughter broke out.
18:17Megan, why are you being so mean?
18:20Mean?
18:21I gave a cold laugh.
18:23In my last life, after I broke my leg, Hayley used that same tone with me.
18:30Megan, the way you walk is honestly hilarious.
18:33I was just copying her.
18:37You guys are bullying Hayley non-stop, aren't you?
18:45I'm telling you, if she quits, I'm out too.
18:51Blake.
18:55That's perfect.
18:56Last time, Hayley didn't want me to shine.
18:59So she purposely fell at Blake's feet.
19:02Blake instinctively helped her.
19:04The music stopped all of a sudden.
19:06The whole performance fell into awkward silence.
19:08Everyone panicked and lost the rhythm.
19:11The dance was a total mess.
19:13But Blake was praised for helping her.
19:15Since they had good grades, teachers favored them.
19:18The teachers were all about friendship over performance.
19:20They said Blake set a great example for everyone.
19:23They even gave them a special award for the show.
19:25While accepting it, Hayley purposely waved at me.
19:28Megan, could you take a photo of us, okay?
19:31The crowd roared with applause.
19:33She and Blake were beaming.
19:35Meanwhile, the other girls in the club were crying backstage out of frustration.
19:40This time, I won't let the same thing happen again.
19:47After Blake and Hayley quit, the dance club was in a bind.
19:51The piano player was gone.
19:53But the show was in three days.
19:56Megan, should we just use a track?
19:59No, I have someone to fill in.
20:01In my past life, when my depression was really bad,
20:05Cole would often cradle me in his arms and sing to me.
20:10Later, after my leg healed, he encouraged me to dance and get back on stage.
20:15I'd dance while he played the piano for me.
20:18I pulled out my phone and called Cole.
20:22Babe, come play piano for us.
20:25The show is in three days.
20:28No way.
20:29Babe, honey, dear, please.
20:32Silence for three seconds.
20:34I could hear him gritting his teeth.
20:37Shut up.
20:38I'm on my way.
20:38I laughed while staring at my phone screen.
20:41Cole arrived quickly, looking totally annoyed.
20:44Blake and Hayley were stunned when they found out Cole was the replacement.
20:47Cole?
20:48You're letting him play?
20:50He's a swimmer.
20:51What does he know about piano?
20:52I ignored them.
20:54At the night of the show, the lights went down.
20:57I took my position with the girls.
21:00As Cole's music began to flow, everyone was blown away.
21:08The crowd erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
21:18When the performance ended, the cheers nearly blew the roof off.
21:22Megan is so stunning!
21:25Is that Cole?
21:26Cole from the swim team?
21:27Since when does he play piano?
21:29Why is he even swimming?
21:30He should just debut already.
21:32Cole walked over to me, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and gave a smug smile.
21:36So?
21:38I didn't let you down, did I?
21:40Babe, you were the best.
21:45For sure.
21:46Offstage.
21:46The girls from the dance club swarmed us to take pictures.
21:50Someone suggested.
21:51Let's get someone to take a group photo.
21:53I smirked and jerked my chin toward Haley.
21:56Haley, since you didn't perform anyway, how about you take a photo for us?
22:00She gritted her teeth and took the phone, her fingers visibly trembling.
22:05Cole walked right up to Blake, handed him the phone, and gave a bright smile.
22:11Bro, take a picture of me and my girlfriend.
22:20Wait, the angle's off.
22:22Take another one.
22:23My girl doesn't like it.
22:27Cole, who the hell do you think you are?
22:31Me?
22:33Megan's boyfriend.
22:34What's up?
22:35You think you're good enough for her?
22:38An Olympian?
22:40You think just getting by is enough?
22:43Dream on.
22:44I stepped in front of Cole and looked at Blake with a cold laugh.
22:49Blake, you got third place in that last competition, right?
22:52Know where Cole ranked in the swim championships last month?
22:55First in the country.
22:57Academically, you're better.
22:58But at swimming, you're not even close.
23:01Who gave you the right to look down on people?
23:04Blake opened his mouth, his face shifting through a dozen emotions.
23:08But he couldn't say a word.
23:11Tugging Cole's sleeve, I turned to walk out with him.
23:17Blake blocked my path as I was leaving school after class.
23:20I looked up, annoyed.
23:24What do you want?
23:26Let's go home.
23:27I'll tutor you.
23:28No need.
23:29In my past life, when he tutored me, he was always extremely impatient.
23:33He couldn't get why I struggled with such simple problems.
23:36To him, every session felt like a waste of time.
23:40I messed up with the showcase.
23:42I'm sorry.
23:44Can you stop making a scene?
23:45Blake, I'm not.
23:47You don't need to worry about my schoolwork.
23:49If you're that bored, go discuss calculus and literary classics with Haley.
23:55Megan, there's really nothing between me and Haley.
23:57I'm applying to schools in New York.
24:00We'll be together after graduation.
24:01I promise.
24:03But didn't you and Haley just apply to California together?
24:08I was just trying it out.
24:10I didn't actually plan on going.
24:14I found it absolutely ridiculous.
24:16He was exactly the same in my past life.
24:18He agreed to go to New York with me.
24:20But on the day of my dance company audition, Haley came to me on purpose.
24:24Blake asked me where I wanted to go to college.
24:26I said California, so he applied to the same school as me.
24:29He didn't tell you, did he?
24:32Megan, how much longer are you going to cling to him?
24:35He obviously doesn't like you.
24:37I'm the only one in the world good enough for him.
24:40He's the only one for me.
24:41That time, I was crushed by her words.
24:45I messed up my audition and missed my chance with my dream dance company.
24:50When I confronted Blake, he just casually said California was a better fit for him.
24:55He didn't like Haley.
24:57He gave me the title of girlfriend and told me to wait for him to graduate and come back.
25:02I believed him.
25:04But after graduation, he said he had to focus on his career first.
25:09Blake and Haley started a business together.
25:11Hit it big.
25:12Then they became the golden couple in the media.
25:15Meanwhile, the marriage he promised me was put on hold over and over again.
25:22College application season was getting closer.
25:24Word that Blake and Haley applied together had spread everywhere, but I was done chasing him anyway.
25:29One morning, Cole and I left his apartment together.
25:31Just as we got downstairs, I saw Blake standing across the street with his parents.
25:35All three of them looked grim and absolutely furious.
25:38Megan, have you been living at his place these past few days?
25:42Yes.
25:43Blake's mother's face instantly twisted.
25:45Megan!
25:46How could you?
25:48We raised you for all these years.
25:50Treated you like our own daughter?
25:52But you're degrading yourself like this.
25:54Come home with us right now.
25:56I just stood there and let them finish.
25:58Then I spoke calmly.
26:00Richard, Emma, thank you for taking care of me all these years.
26:03But I'm an adult now.
26:04I can decide where I live.
26:07My parents left a trust fund that you've been managing.
26:09The returns from all these years should be way more than what you've spent on me.
26:14I'm not going to claim it back.
26:16Consider it my way of thanking you for raising me.
26:19But we don't need to do this anymore.
26:21I'll have a lawyer handle the handover.
26:23They both exploded instantly.
26:25Megan!
26:26You think we only raised you for the money?
26:29You weren't even that bright to begin with.
26:31But we never held it against you.
26:33We always saw you as a daughter-in-law.
26:34But look at what you're doing now!
26:37How can you face your dead parent?
26:40Scenes from my past life flashed before my eyes.
26:42After my leg broke, they told me,
26:44We've always seen you as our own daughter.
26:46And Blake sees you as a sister.
26:49We'll help you find a good man to settle down with.
26:52In my last life, Blake and Haley became the couple everyone adored online.
26:56After I went public about my relationship with Blake,
26:59they told the media,
27:01She's been clingy with her brother since she was a kid.
27:03We only took her in because we felt sorry for her.
27:06The entire internet labeled me as a creepy foster sister
27:09who was trying to ruin their relationship.
27:11Back then, all my privacy was stripped away.
27:13I was cyber-bullied and abandoned by the world.
27:16It was all because of them.
27:17This time, I won't let history repeat itself.
27:21Richard, Emma, I know exactly how much you've spent on me.
27:24And you know exactly how much profit you've made
27:26off the money my parents left behind.
27:29From now on, we go our separate ways.
27:31Megan, if you come crawling back crying one day,
27:34don't blame us for not recognizing you.
27:37Megan, how can you talk to my parents like that?
27:40Do you even have a conscience?
27:42I don't.
27:43So please, just let me go.
27:44Go home!
27:45You're not allowed to have anything to do with him ever again!
27:47I stood there and watched their car drive off.
27:49My shoulders finally starting to relax.
27:51Then, a pair of hands reached from behind,
27:53turned me around,
27:54pulled me into a warm chest.
27:56Paul rested his chin on the top of my head.
27:58Megan, were you unhappy in your past life?
28:01My nose stung.
28:02The truth is,
28:03we didn't get together after graduation.
28:05I chased after Blake for years,
28:06and I only ended up getting hurt.
28:08When I was 25,
28:09my depression was so bad,
28:11and I fell off the stage.
28:12That's when you showed up.
28:16You said,
28:17Megan, I'm a world champion now.
28:19Marry me.
28:20I'll make you the happiest person in the world,
28:22just to piss those two bastards off.
28:24The day we got our marriage license,
28:26you told the media,
28:26This is my wife,
28:27the girl I've had a crush on for many years.
28:31A lot of people said you'd lost your mind,
28:33and you lost a ton of fans,
28:35but you didn't care.
28:36You said athletes let their results do the talking.
28:38You took me to see doctors for my leg,
28:40helped me through rehab.
28:44You sang to me when I couldn't sleep,
28:46holding me until I closed my eyes.
28:48Every day I spent with you was happy.
28:52Cole kept patting my back.
28:54His touch was gentle,
28:55like he was soothing a child after a nightmare.
28:59Seems like I still showed up too late.
29:01I closed my eyes.
29:03I didn't tell him the rest of the story.
29:04Actually,
29:05we didn't exactly have a happy ending.
29:07Cole married me at the absolute peak of his career.
29:09Back then,
29:10he'd swept the Olympic gold.
29:11He was a national hero.
29:12But an athlete's prime only lasts so long.
29:14No one stayed at the top forever.
29:16Everyone had such high expectations of him.
29:18Even if he won silver,
29:19people would trash him
29:20and lose the purpose because of me.
29:26Then came one particular competition.
29:28He was already dealing with an injury.
29:30Then,
29:30right before the race,
29:31he suddenly came down with a high fever.
29:33My heart ached for him,
29:35so I insisted that he pull out of the race.
29:37But right then,
29:38a crazed fan swung a knife at me.
29:40The fan screamed that I was the one holding him back.
29:42Cole instinctively shielded me behind his own body.
29:45I took a deep breath,
29:46stepped out of his arms,
29:47and rubbed my eyes.
29:48All right,
29:48I'm fine.
29:49Let's go.
29:49Cole looked down at me for a long time,
29:51then reached out to wipe away a stray tear I'd missed.
29:54His voice went back to that annoying,
29:56teasing tone.
29:58You're an ugly crier.
30:00Don't do it again.
30:01I couldn't help laughing and gave him a kick.
30:06So,
30:06you said I proposed to you when you were 25?
30:09What about it?
30:11We're only 18 now.
30:13Doesn't that mean I have to wait seven more years?
30:15Can't wait?
30:17It's not that.
30:19Seven years is okay.
30:20It's not like I'm going anywhere.
30:21The sunlight hit his blonde hair,
30:23making me squint.
30:24I hurried to catch up and hooked my arm through his.
30:27You said it.
30:28No running away.
30:30I keep my word.
30:35The day college acceptance letters came out.
30:38Cole and I got into our dream schools.
30:41Shit!
30:43Blake ended up going to the same university as Haley.
30:46This seemingly perfect match still caused quite a stir around campus.
30:50They competed side by side and won awards together.
30:52People were constantly posting photos of the two of them on the school forum,
30:56gushing about how they were made for each other.
30:58Yet, in the face of all the gossip,
30:59Blake flat out denied it.
31:01We're just classmates.
31:02I've got my eye on someone else.
31:04Later on,
31:05people started to suspect he really did have feelings for somebody.
31:10He would go to every dance recital,
31:12always showing up with a bouquet of sunflowers.
31:14Folks guessed they were for the girl he liked, deep down.
31:17I knew the person he was talking about might be me,
31:19but I couldn't have cared less.
31:20By then,
31:21we were already sophomores.
31:29Cole had made the national team thanks to his outstanding beats.
31:35Meanwhile,
31:36I blew up overnight after performing a dance in a hit TV series.
31:39My theater show sold out every single night.
31:42Before long,
31:42people noticed something else.
31:44There was always a guy holding sunflowers sitting in the front row,
31:47watching the stage quietly during every one of my performances.
31:50Word got out that this guy was my childhood friend,
31:53and netizens went crazy shipping Blake and me.
31:56Right at that moment,
31:57Haley posted a photo online of her and Blake from a competition,
31:59with the caption,
32:00the one who understands me like no one else.
32:03But this time,
32:04she got flooded with backlash.
32:05Blake already said you're nothing more than classmates.
32:08What are you doing clout chasing here?
32:10She's so desperate for attention, it's sad.
32:12Ugh.
32:13Haley,
32:13back in high school,
32:14she thought she was hot stuff because of her grades.
32:16Nobody could stand her.
32:22Online gossip blew up into a huge trending topic.
32:26Surprisingly,
32:26Blake's parents gave an interview to the press.
32:29Megan practically grew up under our roof.
32:31After her parents passed away,
32:33we took her in.
32:34We nurtured her dancing,
32:36and loved her like our own daughter.
32:38We always assumed she and Blake would end up getting married.
32:42Reading about their complete reversal,
32:44all I could do was laugh.
32:48I ignored every one of their calls trying to butter me up,
32:51and publicly released a legal contract my lawyer had drawn up years ago.
32:55It laid out in black and white
32:56exactly how much money they'd made off my family's business over the years.
33:00I thought they were such kind people.
33:02Turns out,
33:03it was all an act.
33:04Megan started dancing when she was seven.
33:06They didn't train her at all.
33:07Reporters swarmed me,
33:09pressing for answers about my relationship with Blake.
33:11Are you and Blake's childhood sweetheart?
33:13I shook my head firmly,
33:14my expression cold.
33:16We're just acquaintances.
33:17We barely know each other.
33:18Right after that,
33:21I posted a social media update tagging Cole.
33:24This right here is my boyfriend.
33:26Cole's account blew up,
33:27and gained thousands of new followers instantly.
33:30OMG.
33:31Megan really picked a winner.
33:32They are total couple goals.
33:33Look at that broad-shouldered build and those long legs.
33:36Just imagine how lucky Megan is getting to lie on top of that.
33:39They weren't wrong that night.
33:41Lying on top of Cole's eight-pack abs,
33:43I was absolutely on cloud nine.
33:46He was no longer the boy who'd fly off the handle at the slightest touch anymore.
33:49He had endless moves and incredible stamina.
33:51I could barely keep up.
33:53Even after I'd swum 3,000 meters before bed,
33:55he still had boundless energy.
33:58The next day,
33:59after my show wrapped,
34:00I spotted Blake again.
34:02It felt ridiculous.
34:03Back then,
34:03I chased after him,
34:04and he'd brushed me off.
34:05Now that I was avoiding him,
34:07he was like a stray dog I couldn't shake off.
34:09He stood there holding flowers,
34:11looking utterly defeated.
34:12Megan,
34:13I know I hurt you so many times in the past,
34:14but I really do love you.
34:16All these years,
34:16I kept waiting for you to look back at me.
34:18I just don't get it.
34:18When did you stop caring about me?
34:19I took a deep breath,
34:20trying to keep my composure.
34:22But flashbacks from my past life
34:24haunted me like a hopeless nightmare.
34:26Blake,
34:26I had this dream.
34:27After graduation,
34:29you left me behind
34:29and went overseas with Haley.
34:31You said you'd marry me
34:32once you finished school.
34:33I waited and waited.
34:34When you graduated,
34:34you told me you needed to build a career first
34:36and asked me to hold on longer.
34:37Then you started a business with Haley.
34:39You worked side by side,
34:40admiring each other,
34:41and everyone at school
34:42saw you as the golden couple.
34:43No one knew I was actually your girlfriend.
34:45I begged you, Blake.
34:47I begged you just to come
34:47to one of my recitals.
34:50Even if you only brought one flower,
34:52I would have forgiven you.
34:53But you never showed up.
34:54Not once.
34:55He froze,
34:56looking completely stunned
34:58and started stammering excuses.
34:59I would never do that.
35:01That's not me, Megan.
35:02I swore I'd always look out for you.
35:04It was just a dream.
35:05I shook my head,
35:05my face void of emotion.
35:07No, Blake.
35:08I might not be brilliant,
35:09but I'm not stupid.
35:10Do you truly love me?
35:12No, you're just bitter
35:13and can't stand losing me.
35:14You're smart enough to know what I want,
35:15what upsets me,
35:16and exactly how to make it right.
35:17But you never bothered.
35:18You let me get hurt
35:19over and over again.
35:21What you crave is the admiration I gave you
35:22and Haley's adoration too.
35:24You wanted it all.
35:25Keep your cheap affection.
35:26I don't want it
35:27and you don't deserve me.
35:31After making the national team,
35:33Cole started competing
35:34in international tournaments,
35:35breaking his own personal records
35:37time and time again.
35:38The whole world got to witness
35:40how extraordinary he was.
35:41Now that I'd built a name for myself,
35:43I poured all my energy
35:44into prepping for the
35:45international youth dance competition,
35:47the most prestigious award
35:48in the dance world.
35:49All my hard work paid off.
35:51I took home first place.
35:52The second I stepped off stage,
35:53I saw Cole waving at me
35:55with a bouquet in his hands.
35:56I sprinted straight into his arms.
35:58Was my dance good?
36:00I've never laid eyes
36:01on anyone more beautiful than you.
36:02He stared at me,
36:03completely smitten.
36:04That same year,
36:05Cole competed for his country
36:06at the Olympics.
36:07At 22,
36:08he powered down the pool,
36:10swimming faster
36:10than anyone could imagine.
36:12He left the world record line
36:13far behind
36:14and pushed past his own limits
36:15once more.
36:16At the medal ceremony,
36:17he watched the national flag rise,
36:19his eyes glistening with tears.
36:20When reporters interviewed him,
36:22he broke down crying.
36:23I want to thank my country,
36:24my coaches,
36:25and my love.
36:27His voice cracked,
36:28tears streaming down his face.
36:29Journalists crowded around him,
36:31trying to calm him down.
36:32All of a sudden,
36:33it seemed like something hit him.
36:34His hands shook
36:35as he fished an engagement ring
36:36out of his pocket
36:37and locked eyes with me
36:38in the crowd.
36:38Megan,
36:39will you marry me?
36:40The reporters turned toward me,
36:42practically begging.
36:43Say yes quickly,
36:43or he's never going to stop crying.
36:45I looked at Cole,
36:46half amused and teary-eyed.
36:47I hurried over and hugged him,
36:49slipping the ring onto my finger.
36:51Yes!
36:52Yes,
36:52I will!
36:53Please stop crying.
36:57In the years that followed,
36:58Cole brought home
36:59one honor after another.
37:01Representing our country,
37:02I kept climbing to bigger stages
37:04through my own hard work.
37:05At 28,
37:06Cole's competitive swimming days
37:07came to an end.
37:08He retired,
37:09decorated with countless awards.
37:10He switched to coaching young athletes,
37:12helping them chase new records.
37:14I stepped back from performing
37:15to make room for the next generation
37:16of dancers
37:17and took up a teaching position
37:18at a university.
37:19That same year,
37:20I got pregnant.
37:21Cole told me our kid
37:22didn't have to get perfect grades.
37:23As long as they were happy
37:24every single day,
37:25that was enough.
37:26Neither of us got to grow up
37:28in a complete loving family.
37:29Together,
37:29we would nurture the hurt children
37:31inside us,
37:31giving them the love
37:32we never received.
37:33We attended our alma mater's
37:34anniversary gala
37:35as distinguished alumni,
37:37along with several classmates
37:38from back in the day.
37:39Out of nowhere,
37:40someone brought him up.
37:41Does anyone remember Blake?
37:42I heard his family's company
37:42went bankrupt.
37:43The name felt so distant,
37:45like it belonged to a stranger.
37:47Megan,
37:47you used to have a crush on him,
37:48didn't you?
37:49I shook my head frantically,
37:50stealing a quick glance
37:51at Cole's face.
37:52Absolutely not.
37:53I've only ever loved my husband.
37:55Cole huffed playfully,
37:56pretending to be jealous.
37:57I laughed,
37:58slipped my arm through his,
37:59and rested my head
38:00on his shoulder.
38:00The memory of being thrown
38:01back to age 18,
38:03throwing myself into his arms
38:04and sobbing about how much
38:05I'd missed him,
38:06flitted across my mind.
38:07The tragedy of my past life
38:08never repeated itself.
38:10We got the happy ending
38:11we deserved everything
38:12turned out just right.
