[0:00]Joy, Joy. Joy, wait. Joy, stay here first.
[0:12]Dad doesn't want to go to Canada. Mom doesn't want to go back to the Philippines. All the dreams I've been building, are going... poofff!
[0:27]Slowly falling apart.
[0:34]Maybe the world is trying to tell you something.
[0:40]Maybe it's saying, Joy, you don't have to leave anymore. You won't be able to complete your family in Canada anyway.
[0:59]But I don't like my job here anymore...
[1:05]I feel like I'm wasting my degree. Then don't go back to your employer. Look! I asked around and did research. I can make you a co-investor of the bar I'm putting up! Don't worry. You don't need to shell out anything. I'll take care of everything! You can apply for an investor's visa. As soon as your contract ends, you'll just need to go home to the Philippines for a while, then the embassy will conduct a CI. Wait... wait... Joy! You don't even have to worry about immigration! I'll figure that out. What's important is for you to come back here. We will manage our own bar here, Joy! Together!
[1:41]What kind of person would that make me? An investor without any investment. That'll seem like I just used you. I don't want that Ethan. Joy, no. I will never think of you that way. I'm happy to help you. I'm happy to give you everything you need. As long as we're together. As long as you're beside me.
[2:11]Don't you want us to be together? I do. Well, then stay. Ethan... You love me, right? That's not the question. Do you love me? Yes. Marry me.
[2:29]In three years, I'll be a resident. We can get married. After that, you can do whatever you want. Do you want to bring your whole family here? You can! You can work wherever you like. Joy, you can choose whatever you want.
[2:49]What if I choose not to stay?
[2:56]Why?
[3:01]You've planned everything. I wonder where I fit in all those plans. Everything is for you!
[3:10]All your plans for me! But you never asked what I wanted. What I needed.
[3:21]Why, what do you need?
[3:28]To achieve all my dreams for myself. The dreams I've always wanted.
[3:37]Isn't that selfish?
[3:41]Is it really selfish to think of myself, just this once? But what about me? Us? You knew from the start that I was going to leave. I never hid that from you. Right? So I'm not enough to change your mind? You told me before... "We'll love, for as long as time allows us to be together." Right? So whatever I do for our love, whatever I give you is not enough to make you stay?
[4:35]Ethan, this is the first time I'm choosing myself.
[4:42]I have to try. I just want you to give me the chance. I promise I'll come back. What if with that chance, I lose you?
[4:57]I'm scared to love that way again. I'm scared of the days that I won't be able to touch you. Every day I'll wonder what you're doing... Who you're talking to... Who you are with. What if you meet someone... And that someone might like you... You might like him back! Joy!
[5:28]Joy, I'm scared to love, only to be left behind again. Ethan, don't you trust me enough? Can't you love me enough? It is never a question of love.
[5:43]I love you so much. I hope you believe that.
[5:51]But there are questions inside me that only I can answer. There's a part of me missing that can't be filled... Even by your love.
[6:45]I really want to say, "Yes, I'll stay here. I won't leave anymore, because I love you."
[6:59]But I can't promise that I won't be sad... That not a day will go by, without me thinking, what if?
[7:16]That I won't resent you. That I won't have regrets for all the things we weren't able to do, because we loved each other. I'm scared we'll end up that way.
