Story Script
After completing all the tasks, you and Vyn sit down and open up the website.
A familiar song plays when you tap on the button.
You: ...
Vyn: ...
You: (It's the music from the beginning...)
After the music ends, the word "SUCCESS" appears on the screen.
You: That's... it?
As you watch the celebratory streamers fly across the screen, a sense of disbelief settles in.
After counting the Easter Eggs, you realize you and Vyn have experienced seven different tasks.
The two of you cooked together and recommended a movie to each other. Not only that, but you also planned each other a small surprise, as well as planned for your future together.
In just seven days, you feel your relationship with Vyn has reached a new phase.
A phase that does not require rituals or vows, but one where your heart and soul feel connected to Vyn.
Vyn: You seem upset. Is it because we finished the mini-game?
You: Yeah... I feel lost.
Vyn: Originally, I had doubts as to what kind of impact and change could happen in such a short time.
Vyn: However, after completing all the tasks, I do feel that we have become closer to each other.
Vyn: I am surprised and glad that I could play this game with you.
Vyn looks at you, his eyes thick with affection, like dripping honey.
Vyn: Perhaps... The purpose of this mini-game is to teach couples how to get closer to each other.
You: Vyn...
Vyn said exactly what was on your mind. Your heart is moved as you take out the surprise you had prepared for him.
You: You're not quite right. We haven't finished all the tasks yet—you forgot this.
Vyn looks at you, surprised, as you place the silver USB in his palm.
Vyn: This is?
You: The surprise I promised you before.
Vyn inspects the USB, then looks at you, waiting for an explanation.
You: I thought about it for a long time because the task required spending no money.
You: And I believe the things that are more valuable than money in this world are time and memories.
You: With that said, I can only present you with my story. The story before I met you.
You: I collected a bunch of videos from when I was growing up and put them together on this USB drive.
You: The more I understand about your past, the more I want you to understand my past.
Vyn's eyes fill with tears. He seems happy but also as if a storm is brewing.
You: Good thing my parents loved to take photos and videos of me as a child, so they preserved many memories.
You: Now, I want to share my past with you.
Vyn: [Player]... You...
Vyn gently calls out your name, but you detect a slight tremble in his voice.
You: Vyn...
You call out your lover's name, trying to exhaust a lifetime of love and passion.
You: I want to bring my past to you.
You: And walk hand-in-hand toward our shared future.
Vyn: ...
Vyn: Thank you.
He seems excited, his eyes burning with affection.
Vyn: I am surprised.
He accepts the USB, but his hand does not stop there, moving instead to interlock with your fingers.
Vyn: This gift is precious beyond words.
Vyn: But I want to be greedy and make one more request.
You: Hmm?
Vyn: Watch it together with me.
You: But... it contains a lot of my dirty laundry... Are you gonna force me to watch all of that?
Vyn: But did you not say you wanted to share it with me?
Vyn takes your hand, swinging it from side to side, like a cat acting cute in front of its owner.
Your defenses falter when looking at him, and whatever "dirty laundry" you had in the past is pushed to the back of your mind.
You: Fine, fine, I'll watch it with you.
You: But you have to promise me that you won't laugh, no matter what.
Vyn: How can I?
Vyn: I recall seeing a photo from your childhood when I went to your house. You... were adorable.
Vyn: I secretly regretted not meeting you earlier.
You: It's not too late.
You: There are twists and turns in every relationship, from meeting to falling in love to staying together. Many couples go their separate ways, but we are still together.
You: It doesn't matter when we met. What's more important than the time we spend together?
Vyn: You are right.
Vyn: Compared to many people, we are fortunate enough.
Just as you're about to say something, you feel a sudden force in your hand as Vyn pulls you into his embrace.
Your body shakes a little, but his strong hands steady you at the waist.
With your skin touching his, you can feel the heat coming from his palms, a scent in the air unique to Vyn.
That warmth, along with his touch, creeps slowly up your back, making your heart flutter.
He looks down, almost touching your nose.
Vyn: What am I going to do with you?
He touches your nose with some familiarity and resignation.
Vyn: You should be able to feel it, at this distance...
You: What?
Vyn: When I get close to you, my body temperature raises by 0.2℃...
An electric current shocks your body, allowing you to recall that movie you watched with Vyn.
In the film, the male lead also had his arm around his lover's waist, talking to her in tears—
All kinds of people come and go, but only she can give him the feeling of love.
Not too hot, not too cold. Just right, at 0.2℃.
You look into Vyn's eyes, drowning in the tenderness within them, struggling to find your last trace of reason.
You: (I remember the next line in this part of the movie is...)
Vyn seems to notice that you're deep in thought, saying the answer with a smile.
Vyn: I will kiss you now.
