Hello?

Hey Tsai

Hi

Called you a bit earlier.

Yeah... I was out with my family.

So what's up? I was just thinking of you.

Yun...

Yeah?

I have something to tell you.

Ok.

What is it?

...It's too much.

We have to stop seeing each other.

Tsai... what are you talking about?

It's over.

It's my parents! I can't face them!

You're kidding me. Tsai, we've been through this before.

They don't like you.

They barely even know me.

They're never gonna change.

I think you're over-reacting here.

No, I've made up my mind. I'm sick of lying to them, I'm sick of feeling guilty all the time.

Wait, how long have we been
together? And you do this over the
phone?

It's just easier that way.

Don't you owe it to me to tell me in
person?

Mmm, I once dumped someone over
email, so I guess this is a step up.

Typical. You always take the easy
way out.

Trust me, this isn't EASY for me.

Well, I'm not going to give up on us
just like that.

Yes! You have to!

Just give... up.

Man, you're parents are really
old-school!

I know.

Not even my grandmother is as
old-school as your parents!

Yeah, eh?

You and me, we have everything in
common.

Same jokes, same languages,
same culture.

I mean, why do your
parents have such a problem with me?

You're an artist.

Yeah! And so are you.

Exactly! Two artists can't be
together. We'll be poor.

That's not true. I'm actually doing
really well these days.

Well, it's more than a money thing,
it's a respect thing.

Wait a second. Artists used to get
tons of respect in the old days.

They were up there with the scholars
in ancient Chinese society.

Maybe, but that's not the way it is
now, so what's the point?

I...

I just...

things were going so
well between us...

Yun,

there's someone else.

What?!?

My parents made me meet him.

No one makes you do anything, Tsai.

He's a doctor, rich guy. He's 3
years older. They like him a lot.

God! What is your parent's obsession
with the number 3?

Umm... I guess it's luckier than 4?

Yeah, that makes sense.

Hmm.

And a doctor? I mean, how
predictable is that? It's always
either a doctor or a lawyer.

Actually, my parents think lawyers
are mean.

So... this is really happening?

Yeah.

Tsai...

Yeah?

Remember how we met?

Mmmhmmm.

Well, if that wasn't meant to be,
then I don't know what is...I mean,

...our lives crossed paths
before we ever met in person. That's
gotta count for something.

It was really special, but...

it wasn't meant to be.

You know, this situation, really
doesn't make sense to me.

We're two people who are right for each other.

So, it should be simple;

should be a happy ending.

I don't know why this
has to be so...

difficult.

Life doesn't always have a happy
ending.

Come on, you gotta stop watching
those Korean dramas; they've
brainwashed you.

Hey, I like those Korean dramas.

Aww, man, it's always about
impossible love. So depressing. And
they always use Pachelbel's Canon
for everything.

You're such a geek. Kung Fu movies
are exactly the same.

No way, at least they're willing to
stand and fight.

Yun, please,

You have to stop.

You have to let me go.

...Ok

Hey Tsai?

Yeah...

You think we can just, maybe talk,

I mean, the way we used to?

I really just called you cus I wanted to hear
how your day was...

Ummm. Yeah

Ok.

So...

What are you doing right now?

I've just been laying here the whole
time.

Do you want me to just stay on the
line?

Yeah,

that would be nice.
