Everyone talks about Hương being naive for loving Dũng because that guy will never be faithful to her alone. He's accustomed to the routine of spending a couple of months with a girl and then breaking up right after. Dũng's relationships come and go so fast that he himself hasn't even had time to understand what he feels for these girls. But strangely, Hương still believes she can change him, change a playboy like him. And Hương had the courage to step forward to embrace love from him.
Over 6 months into Hương and Dũng's relationship, for the first time, Dũng proposes:
- “I want to have you.” Dũng looks straight into Hương's eyes to say it without any hesitation.
- “I don't want to be like those girls who loved you before. They also got into bed with you only to be abandoned by you later on.”
- “Are you afraid? Are you afraid of being abandoned too? Don't you think you're doubting yourself too much?” – Dũng scoffs at Hương's words.
- “I'm not afraid, I just don't want to…”
- “Six months is quite special for me, you know? I've never loved a girl for that long without getting her. Isn't that enough for you to believe that you're too different from them?”
Ending that argument, Hương nods in agreement. Not because she's afraid he'll get angry and leave her. Not because she wants to use sex to keep him. But because she genuinely loves Dũng. She feels that behind Dũng's indifferent, worldly appearance lies an extremely lonely soul.
He's like an untamed horse, but surely there will come a day when he'll stop, just needing someone to rein him in. Hương wants to try being that someone even though in this game, she might lose painfully.
Hương felt a mix of excitement being with him, loving, getting angry, and feeling jealous of his past. And then all emotions peaked when the light in Dũng's room suddenly went out. Hương stepped into a game where she gambled the most precious thing in her life. She accepted the possibility of coming out empty-handed.
In the messy room, Hương sat quietly, admiring Dũng. She curled up in the warm blanket, watching him calmly dress up, trying to look his best in front of the mirror. Leaning forward, then backward, seemingly satisfied with his demeanor, Dũng whistled while adjusting his tie. He looked so dashing at this moment. This image stirred Hương's heart. That's why she loves him. Dũng turned to look at Hương:
- “Why are you still sitting there? Get up and put on your clothes. I have to go out with my friends for a bit. If you're not ready, you can stay and change first before joining me later. I'll swing by your place in the evening to get the keys, or you can leave them with the neighbors for me. I'm leaving.”
Hương watches as Dũng swiftly steps out of the room. The cold click of the door shutting sends shivers down her spine. Hương is left alone in his room. On the floor, the clothes she wore last night lay scattered. This scene becomes terrifyingly daunting for Hương. It spells failure. Utter failure.
Dũng walks away, leaving Hương with mixed emotions. But above all, there's the pain engulfing her soul. Hương thought she could change him, could make that cold, indifferent guy learn to love genuinely. Dũng has been with many and has been ready to let go. He's never known the pain of someone leaving his life. He's never truly loved.
Today, Hương feels like one of the girls who have passed through Dũng's life. She's just like them.
If he truly loves her, he would be responsible for her current feelings. The feelings that stem from their bond reaching this far. But no, he acts solely on his own feelings. Leaving Hương with unspoken sorrows:
- “Hey! We're breaking up, okay?” Hương reminds him over the phone in the calmest tone possible.
The other end of the line falls silent for a few seconds, unable to comprehend the situation:
- “What's wrong, babe? I didn't say anything. I still love you,” he replies.
- “That's just it! But eventually, you'll leave me. One day, you will. Because you don't hold me in your heart. And when there's no love, sooner or later, that relationship will break. If you truly love a girl, when you undress her, you'll help her put it back on. That's love's responsibility. But today, you've left me hanging,” she concludes.
