The woman, referred to as Rachel, quickly bowed her head. "Dr. Brown, I''m so sorry... I lost my grip. I''ll clean it up right away."
Saying that, she kept her head down and tried to scurry off, but the young manager suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Even though she was wearing a mask and a cap, the man recognized her in an instant.
"Jenna?"
As the man spoke her name, the scene dramatically shifted, shing back to their college years.
What followed was the story of how the two of them had met and fallen in love.
The youthful innocence and pure romance effortlessly tugged at the audience''s heartstrings.
Even Ste found herself feeling a bit nostalgic as she watched their college romance unfold.
The journey from their first meeting to falling in love was beautifully portrayed.
Although the plot was a bit cliché, it had all the ssic tropes: the initial mutual dislike, the fierce academic rivalry, the protective rescues, and the moments they covered for each other.
But the director was incredibly skilled, filming it with such sweetness and romance. The actors delivered phenomenal performances, and their stunning looks made the entire movie visually captivating.
Watching their yful banter, the audience couldn''t help but smile in shared understanding.
Because the movie relied heavily on shbacks, Ste knew the sweet moments wouldn''tst forever.
Given the opening scene, something devastating must have happened to turn them into strangers.
Sure enough, it didn''t take long for the film''s color palette to dim as the couple reached graduation.
The male lead wanted to go abroad to pursue a master''s degree, and he desperately wanted the female lead to go with him.
She turned him down, iming her family needed her and she couldn''t leave the country.
To him, she was more important than any degree. Seeing that she wouldn''t go, he reluctantly gave up his dream of studying overseas.
Graduation season was notoriously chaotic, filled with thesis defenses, job hunting, and internships.
During that frantic period, he inevitably neglected her a bit.
It wasn''t until one of his friends snapped a photo of her getting into a luxury car and walking into a hotel with a strange man that the mafe: Head realized how senous things had be.
They had been together for four years and knew each other inside out. Refusing to
believe she would betray him, he confronted her directly.
To his absolute shock, she didn''t even try to make excuses. She confessed immediately, adding coldly,
While ago, my mom had a ? heart attack and ended up in the hospital. She needed thousands of dottars for surgery.
When I called you, you were busy with an interview. You brushed me off after a few words, hung up, and said you''d call me backter."
"I waited all night, but you never called. You didn''t even text me until the next day,
just to say you were too tired and fell asleep..."
"Yes, you were busy. You were
exhausted. So busy you didn''t have
time for me, so busy you couldn''t
help me.. And right then an older guy from our university showed up"
"He lent me the money for the surgery, found the best doctor for my mom, and stayed by my side,forting and supporting me.
That was when I realized what I actually needed in a boyfriend—and it wasn''t you."
With chilling finality, she announced, "So, as of right now, we''re over."
No matter how desperately he apologized or begged her to stay, she remained entirely unmoved. To escape him, she even dropped off the map entirely.
Eventually,pletely shattered and dead inside, he gave up.
Right around that time, another opportunity for an overseas exchange program opened up at their university.
This time, he didn''t even hesitate, fleeing the country as if running for his life from the heartbreak.
The scene transitioned, revealing the devastating truth: the female lead had been diagnosed with an incurable gic illness, leaving her unlikely to live past forty.
