Come in.
Come on, come in.
Ki,
this is...
Why, you've seen me drinking a lot before.
Not used to seeing me like this today, huh?
Today, rather than drinking,
I think it's better to quietly savor some tea.
Here, try it.
You invited someone else?
No.
Then why are there three cups?
Do you remember
the first time we met?
Yes, I remember.
You made three drinks for me to choose from.
Here, try the first cup.
How is it?
The taste is very refreshing.
What kind of tea is this?
This is this year's freshly picked green tea.
Because it's unfermented,
it retains its original taste.
It's like
meeting a new friend,
simple and straightforward,
full of freshness.
Yes,
exactly that feeling.
Here, try the second cup.
This one tastes very special.
It's light at first,
but after a while, it has a sweet aftertaste.
You have quite a sensitive palate.
This is white tea.
It's aged longer than green tea,
so it has more
layers of flavor,
and a milder nature.
Good white tea
can be drunk or used as medicine.
Isn't that nice?
I get it.
Compared to a new friend,
this cup is more like an old friend.
Well said.
You could say
a soulmate.
Soulmate?
Now, try this third cup carefully.
This cup
is hard to describe.
Let me try again.
It's very smooth,
but the flavor is obviously stronger,
with a richer and longer-lasting sweetness.
But...
This is Pu'er tea.
It's the oldest cake I've kept,
and the one I most want to share with you.
The longer Pu'er ages,
the more unique its flavor becomes.
That must be expensive.
The most special tea
should be shared with the person you care about most.
Zane,
actually,
the three cups of tea I'm sharing today
are also what I wanna say to you.
I've drunk a lot of alcohol,
met many people,
but you
are the one who feels most special to me.
From the first time I saw you,
I felt you were a very special person.
You are brave in what you do,
and sincere to others.
The longer we spend time together,
the more I believe my feeling is right.
I...
I'm past the stage
of believing in eternal promises,
but
I met someone special, you.
So I still wanna seriously say to you,
I wanna cherish the present with you,
experience the future together,
support each other,
and keep this special feeling.
I...
I've said it clearly enough, right?
I...
You don't have to rush to answer me.
I know
you're facing other choices now,
and other relationships to handle.
Don't worry,
between us,
like these three cups of tea,
whichever one you choose,
I will respect you,
understand you,
and support you.
Alright,
I think you need some time now,
to quietly drink tea,
think it over carefully,
follow your heart,
and make the decision that suits you best.
I'm leaving now.
Remember to tell me when you've decided.
Zane,
see you.
