Speaker A
This woman's boyfriend [music] has been cheating on her. Unable to speak Japanese, she travels to Japan alone, hoping to [music] track down her boyfriend. And the waitress standing in front of her looks like she might be her boyfriend's new love interest. Emma
Speaker A
stares [music] at her translation app and confirms her words one sentence at a time, preparing to cause a scene right then and there. But she does not realize the volume on her phone is too loud.
Speaker A
Emma looks awkwardly at the man sitting next to her, [music] noticing the travel guide in his hand is written in Chinese.
Speaker A
Emma assumes he must be from China [music] and feels relief thinking he could not understand what she just said.
Speaker A
But this man named John is actually Korean. Due to the nature of his work involving translation, John has been [music] studying Chinese. And those quiet little complaints Emma muttered to herself had already been heard clearly by [music] John. To spare them both
Speaker A
embarrassment, John could only pretend not to understand. It is not until John's phone rings that Emma realizes this man [music] is Korean. John knows his cover is blown and can only turn his face away to avoid Emma's gaze. He can
Speaker A
only say he did not mean to deceive [music] her. Emma simply misread the situation. Just as the two of them are in the middle of their argument, a sudden cry [music] of panic erupts from the table next to them. A child visiting
Speaker A
as a tourist is having an acute allergic reaction, [music] likely from accidentally consuming something they are allergic to. John immediately communicates with the staff [music] and the family in two languages, asking the staff to call an ambulance.
Speaker A
But the alley outside the shop is too narrow. [music] The vehicle cannot pull up to the entrance. John has no choice but to carry the child and rush toward the main road. Emma sees John [music] heading outside with the couple and
Speaker A
offers to stay behind and watch their luggage. On the other side, [music] after John gets the child into the ambulance, he leaves his phone number with the child's mother, telling [music] her that if she needs a translator at
Speaker A
the hospital, she can call in anytime. By the time John returns to the restaurant covered in cold sweat, Emma has already been waiting for a long [music] time. She figures out that John must work in something translation related and wants to ask John to help
Speaker A
her communicate with the man who wronged her. But John has no [music] desire to get involved in other people's relationship problems and turns down Emma's request on the spot. But when he sees the bitter expression on Emma's [music] face, John ultimately cannot
Speaker A
bring himself to be so heartless. He agrees to help Emma with the translation. When the two of them [music] walk back into that after asking the staff they discover that her boyfriend's new love interest is someone else entirely. Emma had
Speaker A
prepared a whole speech full of harsh [music] words, but when Emma notices the slight bump on the woman's belly, the anger in her heart suddenly turns to sadness. She learns the woman is already 7 months pregnant, [music] yet she and
Speaker A
her boyfriend have only been apart for 3 months. Emma leaves the restaurant in a fury. John chases [music] after her to explain the situation. The child the woman is carrying is not her boyfriend's. It is her child with her
Speaker A
ex-husband. The [music] woman also says that if Emma still wants to win her boyfriend back, she will not stand in the way. Emma is completely puzzled after hearing this. When [music] they return to the restaurant, Emma admits that during her relationship with her
Speaker A
boyfriend, he would often disappear without explanation [music] for months at a time, and the woman quietly explains that during her most helpless days, it was her boyfriend who stayed by her [music] side and supported her. But Emma is already in tremendous pain from
Speaker A
the betrayal, and hearing this explanation, the fire inside her cannot be completely held [music] back until she hears a secret so shocking it stops her in her tracks.
