"But I'm not sure what I think. I keep feeling that the feelings between us have become unfamiliar." "Unfamiliar? That's only because the distance between you two is too far.

[Female Lead: Maybe we can try to change our strategy.] Male Lead: I don't want to think about how to salvage the relationship between us anymore. I just want you to know that I really love you. Female Lead: I know you are very attentive, but I have already made my choice. I know, but I also hope that I can give you some strength and courage to make better choices. [Female Lead: Thank you. I'll think about it.] [Male Lead: I also hope that you can find a happiness that truly belongs to you. Don't force yourself.] [Female Lead: I will. I believe in you.] Male Lead: I also believe that we will each go to find our own happiness and no longer interfere with each other.

[Female Lead: I chose to leave to find my own happiness.] Male Lead: What does this mean? Don't you want to be with me? Female Lead: I already understand that your feelings for me are not real. I don't want to be a burden to you or hurt you. Male Lead: Why did you do this? My feelings for you are real. I don't want to lose you. I know your feelings for me are real, but I've made my choice. I don't want to force myself to be with you because I don't want to hurt you. Male Lead: I understand, but I really can't control my emotions.
