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.
