>“When Jeremiah says, ‘I don’t want part of you, I want all of you,’ I think it’s a little bit unfair to expect all of someone,” Tung says. “Jeremiah and Belly, they still have so much love for each other, but it’s not enough to just feel love. It’s choosing each other every single day, and I think they needed to choose themselves at this moment.”

>Even in Paris, Belly’s attachment to relics of her relationship with Jeremiah lingers. When a thief steals her backpack at a café, Belly’s relentless determination to recover her stolen goods is largely due to the loss of her engagement ring (even if that particular piece of jewelry spawned [endless fandom memes](https://x.com/ting1stfan/status/1947928941466907037)). “No matter how expensive or not expensive it is, it holds so much weight. Losing that ring is losing this four-year relationship with someone that she still deeply loves, even if they’re not getting married,” Tung says.

>Is it possible that Belly always knew she was never actually going to marry Jeremiah? Some fans seemed to think so when they noticed that the letter written by Susannah, the late mother of the Fisher boys and a maternal figure for Belly, went unopened, even though Susannah had intended for Belly to read it the morning of her wedding. Tung doesn’t speculate, strictly keeping her answer to the show’s canon. “She probably knew something was wrong,” Tung offers. “Jeremiah was gone for the entire morning of the wedding, and there’s no way after that to act like everything’s okay. Her wedding day is supposed to be this happy day. Because of that, she just holds off on it.”  
“The Internet is really difficult to deal with,” she offers. “It can be hard. We’re so protective of the work and of each other. I appreciate that the show puts out those statements, and it’s inevitable, I think, to get at least some level of hate.”

>Her level-headed attitude toward the pitfalls of social media doesn’t mean she isn’t occasionally tempted to jump into the fray for Belly’s sake. “When you work hard on something and love your character so much, I’m like, *No, no. Let me just defend her,*” she says. Ultimately, she tries to keep off social media. “People have their opinions and are going to say stuff, and I don’t have to listen to all of it or read all of it.” That might also be good advice for fans who have trouble controlling their emotions over their ship. *Tung adds, “I think to really truly say that you hate \[a character\] or don’t want to watch if one of them is on your screen—I’m like, Then don’t watch.”*
