I,Myself (若是一個人)

Hi,

do you have a reservation?

I don't.

A table of people will leave soon.

-How many people will it be? -One.

One?

I'm sorry,

our restaurant charges more if you're alone.

That's fine.

Hello? I'm at the restaurant. Where are you?

Can you hurry up?

-I'd like to sit here. -No problem.

You're here?

Where are you?

Didn't I tell you I made a 7 o'clock reservation?

It's already 7:23. I'm starving!

The client was really annoying.

I wanted to get off work sooner too.

Hey, guess how long we haven't eaten together?

Why didn't you eat first if you're starving?

Hmm, I don't want people to think

I'm eating spicy hotpot by myself,

like the woman behind you. Poor her.

Hey, don't look. It's too obvious.

I can't eat spicy hotpot by myself.

How about you?

Me?

I used to eat hotpot alone.

But you're not alone now.

You have me.

-Here are your vegetables. -Thank you.

It's lonely eating spicy hotpot by yourself.

She looks free.

Free?

Yes. She can do whatever she pleases.

It's wonderful.

Hey, you're trying to piss me off?

I'm very tired today.

I don't want to fight.

Okay.

You can have your freedom,

and do whatever you please.

How great it is.

You're the one who's saying that.

Well, you can't find another as cute as me.

You might not notice something's off

at the moment you hear it.

But later,

you suddenly realize that

he's actually dead serious.

One month later,

we broke up.

I think when you're alone,

you feel inner peace.

We all came to this world alone,

we'll leave it the same way.

Since we're fated to be alone,

we're only passers-by spending decades

of our lives in the world.

Our topic for next issue

will be

it's wonderful to be alone.

Why do I feel

it sounds kind of sad?

It feels depressing.

Depressing?

It's very depressing.

So you don't want to use this topic?

I didn't say that.

I don't sense happiness

in the topic.

Don't you?

I truly believe that

being alone is blissful.

When you're with someone,

it's the beginning of a disaster.

At first, you're considerate

and cooperate with each other.

You change yourself for the other person.

You turn yourself into another person.

But you still break up in the end.

You both know

that's my personal experience.

My previous romance

helped me understand one thing:

Both of us

were impulsive.

I brought my friend with me.

Excuse me.

Have a drink.

Hurry.

What have you been doing?

Hi.

Hi.

How are you? I'm Yang Da-he.

Oh.

And you are...

My name is Fang Jia-ying. Nice to meet you.

Jia-ying, nice to meet you.

Holding a glass of wine,

in my heart.

Perhaps the reason we were impulsive

was because we feared loneliness,

and didn't want to be alone.

Or maybe it was because

we didn't want to be alone at the time.

What do you like to eat?

Me?

I cook.

You know how to cook?

I just cook whatever I like.

That's incredible.

I don't know how to cook.

Can you cook eggs?

I can't.

How about hard boiled eggs?

No.

You just toss eggs into water.

So,

when a person in the same situation shows up,

you mistake that person

as the one and only in your life.

What's wrong?

Hard boiled eggs.

Okay, here it comes.

Wait! It'll hurt.

Remember to lock the door.

Hmm.

When two people are together 24/7

and the romance becomes a routine,

is it still meaningful to stay together?

Do you know what time it is now?

You should've gone to bed first.

I told you yesterday that

I need to leave at six today.

I don't want to fight.

You didn't answer my call,

and you didn't return my text.

What do you want from me?

I'm sorry.

I didn't see it.

If one of them wants to end it,

then the so-called happiness

will be gone.

Fang Jia-ying,

we know about what happened to you.

But I feel for you.

I don't need you to feel for me.

I'm doing very well.

Fine. Wonderful. Excellent.

But if you want to talk about

such a pessimistic outlook on life,

I think the topic for this issue

should be "death is the solution."

Zhang Yi-rui, are you done?

Jia-ying,

you've worked with Yi-rui for years.

You're like siblings.

He didn't have bad intentions.

I might as well as die

if he was my brother.

Alright.

Let's go back to the topic.

About the topic, our original idea

was to integrate it with the essence of our products

from the angle of our everyday life.

We want people to feel hopeful about their lives.

Exactly!

Full of hope.

Our single life

is full of hope

and freedom.

But yours was forced on you.

You feel sorry for yourself

and refuse to let go.

You say that is because

I stood you up

in the two blind dates you set up for me.

Yes, you stood me up

because you refused to have a good life

since your break up a year ago.

Am I dead now?

Being alive doesn't mean you aren't dead.

Where's your respect for me?

Jia-ying, let me ask you.

Have you been doing well over the past year?

Certainly.

It better be true.

I remember you used to like to cook.

When was the last time you cooked?

Don't forget you haven't returned my recipe.

It's hard to cook for myself.

It's wasteful if I cook too much.

Unlike you,

I like to cook a lot for myself.

When I cook too much,

I invite my friends over.

I don't ask my friends what they want to eat;

instead, I ask myself what I want to eat.

Do you get what I'm saying?
