I Was Only B-Roll in His Life Chapter 9
Before going to Frostia, I made a trip back to the city I used to live in with Zachary.It was not because of him, but because a brand had invited me to make a short film about goodbyes, and I had chosen this place.It was drizzling when my plane landed.I knew this city like the back of my hand—which routes to take to avoid traffic congestion, which coffee shop had the best coffee, and which scenic spot had the best sunset views.All these memories were associated with Zachary, but as I revisited these places, I realized that the city itself was pretty nice too. I had simply placed too much meaning on one person back then to see it.The day we wrapped up our shoot, a staff member asked me, "Ms. Lipton, should we head back to your old studio to capture some footage?"I paused for a moment, but in the end, I nodded.Our old studio was still in the same spot, as Zachary hadn't moved away. However, the signboard had been changed.When I pushed open the door and entered, I found hi

It was spring when Zachary finally appeared before me in the flesh.By then, my new account had already reached over 800 thousand followers, and the cultural tourism short film had won an industry award. The organizer invited me to the capital city to receive my award. Since Dad's recovery was coming along nicely, he and Mom decided to go with me.On the night of the award ceremony, I put on a long, white gown. It wasn't particularly expensive, but it fit my body like a glove.Before I had to step on stage, Mom fussed over my shoulder straps."You're so beautiful."I asked with a smile, "Really?"She nodded. "You're so much more beautiful now than in any of your past photos."I understood the implications behind her words. In the past, I was always trying to find the best angle for Zachary and was constantly worrying about getting an ugly shot, not having enough lighting, or taking an incomplete shot.This time, I was the one who was standing in the spotlight. I no longer nee

My new account grew at an incredibly fast rate, and one month later, I had reached over 200 thousand followers.I hadn't relied on a couple persona, nor had I relied on Zachary's editing. Instead, it had been entirely due to my own efforts as I captured moments in everyday life.I took photos of my dad during his physiotherapy. He steadied himself with the railings as he slowly stepped forward, and even though he kept complaining about how bothersome I was being, there was no hiding the way he subtly straightened his back.Similarly, I followed my mom when she went for her community line dancing sessions. At first, she was rather camera–shy and embarrassed, but eventually, I managed to capture the smile that stretched across her face, making her look significantly younger.Besides that, I went around the city, taking photos of the old-school breakfast diners, the raindrops pearling on the grass after a light rain, and the farmer's market early in the morning.Naturally, I also inc

It wasn't until a week later that Zachary finally sought me out.That day, I accompanied Mom to the farmer's market. While she was busy haggling over the prices, I took photos of her hand as she picked out tomatoes.Suddenly, my phone rang.It was an unfamiliar number, but when I answered it, it was Zachary's voice that came over the line. He sounded incredibly hoarse."Winona."I kept quiet for a few seconds before replying, "Is there something you need?"For a long moment, there was only silence. It was quiet for so long that I thought he would hang up.However, when he finally spoke up again, his voice was actually shaking."Did you really go home?""Yes.""Why didn't you tell me?"I failed to stop the bubble of laughter that burst from my lips. "Zachary, I told you that I wanted to break up before I left, didn't I?"His breathing audibly stuttered. "I just thought that that was spoken in the heat of the moment. In the past, you would get angry as well, but every time, y

By the time the plane landed, it was already late at night.I wheeled my suitcase out of the airport, instantly spotting my parents, who were waiting for me.Mom had a thick scarf wrapped around her neck, while her hands held a spare down jacket.Beside her was Dad. Even though it hadn't been all that long since he underwent heart surgery, he still stood with his back straight as he waved a hand at me."Winnie!"The instant Mom called out to me, my eyes and nose tingled with oncoming tears.It had been three years.During that time, I followed Zachary across dozens of cities, filming snow-capped mountains, vibrant islands, deep canyons, and beautiful sunsets.Yet, not once had I ever felt like I did now, like I had finally returned to the human world.Mom hurried over to me and draped the down jacket around my shoulders."Oh, look at how much weight you've lost! Did you forget to eat proper meals again?"I bowed my head, and my tears splashed onto the backs of my hands.Tha

The day I would be flying back to my hometown, Zachary left in the morning, but not before telling me, "I'll be doing a full-day photoshoot today, so I might be back later tonight.""Okay."After he shut the front door, silence descended upon the house.This would be the last day I spent in this place.I pulled my suitcase out from behind the closet and double-checked my items.My ID, gold earrings, content planner, a few articles of clothing, and my phone charger.In the end, I only managed to fully pack a 20-inch suitcase.I had handpicked most of the items in this house, yet I didn't bother bringing a single one with me.I was the one who had labelled the spice bottles in the kitchen, and the note stuck to the fridge door was also my doing."There are six eggs left, but the salt is running out."Zachary's fridge used to always be empty.I was the one who had turned this place into a home. The couch in the living room, the curtains, the bedding—they had all been carefull
