(Hot Love Issue)

Hello, Aoy and Chod,
my name is Ploysai.

I'm about to tell you a story
of when I was in fourth year.

It's the time when everyone
lives life to the fullest.

Hey, let's go drinking tonight.

Today is my six-month anniversary
with my boyfriend.

I can't go.

My boyfriend doesn't want me
to go drinking with you anymore

after what you did last time.

Mimi, you are my last hope.

You won't let me down, will you?

Don't look at me.

I can't.

Today is Pong's mother's birthday.
I have to go.

You can still join me later.

An old person's birthday party
usually doesn't go late.

I don't know.

Think about it.

Won't I look bad
if I ask my boyfriend to drive me

to join you for drinks later?

I don't think so.

We will be drinking at a club,
not a host bar.

Look, I've been dating him
for a month.

I can't misbehave yet.

Count me out for tonight.

Wait for me in front of the toilet.
I need to pee.

Me too.

Darn it.

That was a big problem in my life.

All my friends had a boyfriend.

I was the only single one.

Seeing how you are all alone,

I guess you will drag me
out with you.

You don't need to worry about that

because you are not invited, Bank.

I was wrong.
I wasn't the only single one.

(Tiger's Den)

This is my friend, Bank.

He's the only guy in our group.

And he's also single like me.

One beer, please.

You got it.

Both of us were single,

but there were differences
between us.

Bank was very charming.

Many girls fell for him.

He chose to be single because
he was not ready for commitment.

On the other hand, I was single
because nobody pursued me.

I didn't understand why.

Everyone thought I had a line
of men waiting for me

given how attractive I was.

But that wasn't the case.

Due to that reason,
I had to use dating apps.

(the tuk, Night Owl)

(Peat, DM me if you are cute.)

It may have been my expression.

What the...

Excuse me.

Are you Mimi's friend?

I saw your photos
on Mimi's social media account.

So what if I am?

Is Mimi not here today?

Do you see her?

- No.
- That's right.

Clearly, she's not here.

So...

Listen, if you are interested
in Mimi, just text her.

I'm not anyone's wingwoman.

But you should know
that she has a boyfriend.

Right now, she is at
his mother's birthday party. Got it?

- Thank you.
- Bye.

What's with this guy?

Hey.

I suggest you rent
your own stage to dance on.

Watch your mouth.

You watch yours.

Please calm down. I'm sorry.

- She's drunk. Don't mind her.
- Why did you apologize to him?

Tell your girlfriend
to watch her rotten mouth.

You are the one with a rotten mouth.

Do you have a problem with me?

- I'm sorry.
- Just go home if you're drunk.

Darn it. Let me go.

Sit down.

I'm not surprised
why you are still single.

Can you please be friendlier
to other humans?

He came to talk to you

because he was interested in you.

It was a stupid way
to flirt with a girl.

Also, I would never date
an idiot like that.

What about the first guy?

He approached you politely.
Why did you chase him away?

He wasn't interested in me.

He was interested in Mimi.

He might want me
to be his wingwoman.

Nonsense.

He could have easily texted her
if that was true.

You sulkily chased him away.

Stop sounding like
a know-it-all, Bank.

I'm serious, Ploy.

Your appearance alone
is undeniably attractive.

But the moment you open your mouth,

your words,

tone,

and personality

drive them away.

It's just the way I am.
What do you want me to do?

Stop insulting me, Bank.

Darn it.

Wait, Ploy.

Bank.

I'm going to another bar.

Do you want to come?

I've called a taxi.

I'm sorry, but I can't go.

I need to send my friend home.

I can go home by myself.
Go with her.

Bye.

(Vacant)

Hello, I'm Peat.

I'm Ploysai.

Dating apps were extremely helpful.

They gave me a chance to create
a better version of myself.

Your voice and facial expressions
don't matter when texting.

(What are you doing?)

What are you doing?

Nothing, I'm just breathing
and killing time.

Does missing you count
as doing something? Hehe.

In text messages, you can retype
sentences that sound rude

since the tone of your voice and
facial expressions are not conveyed,

unlike in real-life conversations
where words cannot be unsaid.

Bank, let's go.

I'm going to bed.

Okay, goodnight.

I was only talking to those men on
the apps for fun, nothing serious.

You call this "nothing serious"?

You've matched with 500 guys
and are talking to ten of them.

Look at your profile picture.

My gosh. You look too innocent.

Seriously,
why did you choose this photo?

It's so unlike you.

What am I supposed to do?

Guys are repelled by my personality.

They prefer cute and innocent girls.

I had to look innocent
to compete against them.

That makes sense.

Gosh, you are so fake.

Shut up.

Calm down. Sit.

Calm down.

- Calm down.
- It's okay.

Forgive him just this once.

Relax.

Look at your name.

"Ploysai".

Your name is just Ploy.

Hey, that's not a fake name.

My dad really named me Ploysai.

You guys just call me Ploy.

Hey, open the chats.

I want to see her guys.

Let's see.

Hey, don't you think
you are being too nosy?

No, we are not.

This is for educational purposes.

- We all have a boyfriend.
- Really.

We don't get to explore dating apps.
You are our case study.

Ploy, who is
your number one candidate?

It has to be the uppermost chat.

- Who?
- This guy?

- What's his name?
- Ordinary Man?

Can't you see he hasn't got a photo?

How can I be serious with him?

You're right.

I've been meaning to block him.

I still talk to him because
he sends me good music.

Wait.

This guy is so hot. He's really hot.

This guy.

Oh, that's Peat.

- Peat?
- Let me take a closer look.

Yes, you're right.

He's a med student. He's my type.

(Trust me, I'm a doctor.
Single, Male)

Do people with a good profile
actually use dating apps?

He might be a catfish.

Bank, you are dead meat.

- Just stop talking.
- Hey.

What's the matter with you?

Stop right there.

Stop.

What's wrong with them?

Is this how you want to do it?

I told you to stop. Stop.

You keep ruining my fantasy.
What's your problem?

I'm just looking out for you.

Even you portray a fake personality.

Why can't others do the same?

I don't want you to get hurt.

Thanks for your concern,
but I didn't ask for it.

Also, I'm not that desperate
to find a boyfriend online.

Look at this one.

Enough, stop looking.

What?

What are you doing?

I just got home.

Why are you home early today?

I thought you were going out.

Not anymore. My friends annoyed me.

I'm sorry. Did I sound too angry?

Am I making you uncomfortable?

No, not at all.

You sound cute
even when you get angry.

- Do you really think so?
- Yes.

I look very scary in person
when I get angry.

Seriously?

You?

I can't imagine you being scary.

You'll see when we meet.

Peat.

Since we've been
talking for a while,

why don't we meet up?

Peat.

Peat.

Peat.

I'm sorry.
I had some food delivered.

Sure, when should we meet?

I've arrived. I'm in a pink dress.

Wait right there.

I'll be there soon.

I'm in a white shirt.

Ploy, how's your date going?

(Mimi)

Did I make the right decision
telling you about it?

Of course you did.

If something were to happen,
we'd be able to help you.

Don't forget about
what we said, okay?

First of all, you have
to keep in mind

that he might not
look like his photo.

Most people look attractive
in dating apps

because their profile photos
don't match their actual face.

We wish you good luck
if it turns out he's been using

someone else's photos.

Second of all,

he might be a weirdo

with bad breath or body odor.

He might even be a psychopath.

She's right.

Lastly,

he might not like

what he sees

and could dump you right away.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Where's the toilet?

You don't know, do you?

Are you Ploy?

Yes.

It's me, Peat.

Are you okay?

Of course.

What about you?
Are you okay with me?

Of course.

I'm okay as long as you are.

I thought

you saw me and were trying to run.

I wasn't trying to run.

I thought you weren't coming.
So I was leaving.

I had to come.

We have a date.

You don't look...

like your photo though.

You look much cuter in person.

- Hey, where are you sending me off?
- What?

- We have arrived.
- I'll walk you to the elevator.

Here we are.

Yes.

Ploy.

What do you think about me
now that we've met?

What do you mean?

Well, tell me the truth.

Do you like me?

Do you still want to talk to me?

I should be the one asking you that.

I still want to talk to you.

Really?

Why do you ask?

Do you not believe me?

It's not that.

It's just...

you see

I don't look innocent like my photo,

and I'm not the polite girl
you've been texting with.

Also,

I don't look that good in person.

I disagree.

I like you the way you are.

You look much cuter in person.

What?

Thank you for the ride.

Sure.

Wait, Ploy.

Who do you live with?

I live alone.

I see.

Are you a thief? You are trying
to get information from me.

Yes, I'm a thief.

But I'm not interested
in your money.

What do you want to steal then?

I want to steal your heart.

See you later.

(Peat: Will you be my girlfriend?)

A dating app
made my dream come true.

Finally, I got myself a boyfriend.

(In a Relationship)

(In a Relationship)

- Dang, that was fast.
- Scream.

Already?

You just met him today.

How spicy.

That could have been a happy ending.

The problem was
it was only the beginning.

(2 Months Later)

Where are you?

Shoot.

Where did you go?

I see stars, you punk.

Take this.

The police are here.

Darn it.

Take it.

- Wait for me.
- Hey.

Have you been playing games
all night?

You're dead.

Answer me.

You pay the electricity bill
this month.

Give me the car.

Thanks.

- Attack.
- Peat.

What?

We're out of toothpaste.
Why didn't you buy any?

What's the problem?
It ran out a long time ago.

I freaking told you to buy some
last night. Why didn't you go?

I forgot.

Did you have to swear?

I hate it.

Cut the toothpaste tube.

It will last a few more days.

Argh, shoot.

And why didn't you take out
the trash when you finished eating?

I said I don't like having trash
in the room! It stinks!

It's not that much.

I'll do it eventually.
What's all the fuss?

Shoot!

I lost again! Darn it!

Stupid brat.

Do you want some congee?
I'll go out and buy it for you.

Sure. No ginger though.

Mm.

Lend me 100. I'm broke.

You're not going to eat that? Yoink.

Huh? When did I ever say that?
I'm saving it for later.

Oh? Why didn't you say so? Sorry.

What are you doing?

You're playing another game?

Aren't you going to go out
or do anything else at all?

I've been stressed lately.

I just want to rest my brain
when I'm free.

How can you be free?

Isn't your university
in session right now?

Shouldn't a med student be so busy
they have no time at all?

Hm?

I kept asking myself
what I did wrong when I was single.

But now that I'm not,

I'm still asking myself
the same question.

Why isn't my boyfriend
as nice as other people's?

They say this one's nice.
It's on sale right now.

- Are you going to buy it?
- Sure.

- If you are, then I am too.
- It's buy one, get one free, right?

- Sure.
- Order it.

Ploy, aren't you already
going out with someone?

Why are you still on the app?

Oh? And why can't I?

It's just another
social media platform.

Think about it.

We've used plenty in the past.

Isn't this just another one?

No. I understand why you used it to
find someone when you were single.

But you're in a relationship now.
What on earth are you using it for?

Nothing in particular.
It's just for fun.

You said that last time as well.
You're using it just for fun.

But is that really the case?

Did I think I was cheating
at the time?

Not at all.

Can anyone cheat through a phone?

Hi, I'm Au.

Hi, I'm Ploysai.

We'll have fun until morning!

As far as we've known
each other through the app,

Au is practically
the complete opposite of Peat.

He's fun, lively,
and has very good taste.

Talking to him helped me deal with
my frustration towards Peat.

Get out of the car!

You're bad at driving.

The car. Give me the car.

Pull over!

- Oh, the cops? Bring it on!
- What are you doing?

- Pull over! Do you see the cops?
- Nothing. I'm just fed up.

With your boyfriend?

I died again.

- Mm.
- Why don't you break up with him?

I want to.
But I can't come up with a reason.

Huh? Should there even be a reason?
You're not married to each other.

Easy for you to say.

My friends were caught up in drama
for months after their break-ups.

What about you?
Don't you have a girlfriend?

No way. It's boring
I don't see the point in having one.

True. Why didn't I
think of that back then?

And when will I
ever get to meet you?

Hey, I said I don't want to.

How many times
do I have to tell you?

I'm going to keep asking
in case you change your mind.

But I really want to meet you.

I want to talk to you,

hold you, kiss you, and...

I told you. I won't meet anyone
until I break up with my boyfriend.

You can stop talking to me
if you think it's a waste of time.

I won't stop. I told you.
It's not a big deal.

Who are you talking to?

You've been typing
non-stop for ages.

I'm in a group chat with my friends.
We're gossiping about a lecturer.

Oh.

Aren't you ever going
to go back to your own place?

How many times have I told you?
I got into a fight with my family.

But it's been almost a month now.
Aren't you going to talk it out?

Fine. I'll leave tomorrow.

Sorry. Wrong contact.

So what are you going to do, Bank?

Are you going to
try talking to Ing or not?

Aren't you a little
too serious about this, Mimi?

Bank, check out
her social media account.

I should be the one asking you
if this deserves the seriousness.

She's top of her class
in the Faculty of Arts,

technically out of your league.

Don't you want to go out with her?

- She probably doesn't want to.
- What are you talking about?

When you helped me carry stuff
to Student Affairs the other day,

Ing was there as well.

Since then, she's been asking
about you whenever I run into her.

I think I'll pass.

What's up with you?

She's perfect and has feelings for
you, yet you're playing hard to get.

I don't know if you'll run into

someone like her in this lifetime
if you let this opportunity pass.

Besides, someone of her level

would be able to find
someone decent easily.

Then let her find someone decent.

Huh?

Bank!

Hey, Ploy. I need to talk to you.

I went out for drinks and connected
with some med students.

Apparently, they went to
the same uni as your boyfriend.

So I asked about him.

I was told he got expelled
at the beginning of the year.

I wasn't sure at first.
So I asked if it was the same Peat.

They said there's only one.

So I asked them to send me proof.

Here. I got it this morning.

I knew there was something fishy.

He hasn't been in med school
since the beginning of the year.

But three months ago,
his profile said so.

Does that mean
he's been lying to you?

No, he hasn't.

He told me the first day we met.

Oh, really?

You've made so much effort
to find out what I already know.

Hang on, Ploy.

Ploy.

Are you really feeling okay?

And why should I feel otherwise?

Why? Should I have an issue?

It's good if you're okay.

I'm just worried
you might've been lied to.

Do you want me to be lied to?

I guess you must
be very disappointed.

What are you talking about?

I simply found
my boyfriend on the app.

Do you really have to nose
into his life so much?

What if I found him from
somewhere else?

Wouldn't you be following
everyone and snooping around?

I'm not snooping.

I just ran into his friends,
so I asked about him.

All right.

I'll admit I'm paranoid.

But you'll have
to accept the truth as well.

Those guys you
found can't be trusted.

What do you mean by "those guys"?

The ones you found through the app.

You can't even be sure

that someone you met in person
is telling the truth.

But you met them on the app.

Can you really trust them?

Bank.

Can't you stand seeing me be happy?

What are you talking about?

I'm just in a relationship
with someone.

Why can't a friend like you
be happy for me?

I'm obviously happy for you.

But can you
at least think it through

before you get into a relationship?

Of course I do!

Why, Bank?

If you think you won't be lied to,

then I'm okay with that.

Peat, you jerk!

What?

What's wrong? Hey!

What's wrong?

Why didn't you tell me
you got expelled?

I already did. You forgot about it.

As if! I'd remember that, you idiot!

Can we not resort to name-calling?

How come you've turned
into someone like this?

I don't like it.

I've been like this
since I was born.

You were just too stupid to see it.

But okay. Even though I faked
to look innocent,

it's not as bad as you lying
about being a med student.

I didn't lie.
I just forgot to edit my profile.

You've been expelled for a year,

yet you still have the gall to say
you forgot to edit your profile.

If my friend hadn't run
into your friends at the club,

I'd probably still be an idiot
thinking you were a med student.

Do you know how humiliated
I was when he told me?

So what? Is it important
whether I'm a med student or not?

If you're dying to date a doctor,
go and find one at a hospital.

Why did you use a dating app then?

I don't want to date a doctor.

I just want to date someone
who's not a liar!

Oh well. Who'd believe
someone in your state

was actually a med student?

You never study. All you do is
play those stupid games!

No one would think so.

Isn't that a little too far?

At least I actually
got into med school.

I just ran out of passion.

I want to transfer
to humanities instead.

I'm just waiting to reapply.
Can't I take a break?

So why didn't you tell me?

Have you ever asked?

Besides, we've only been together
for a few months.

Do you have to know
about everything?

Get out.

- Are you kicking me out?
- I said get out!

Ploy, we're going to break up
because I'm not in med school?

Ploy!

Ploy!

Come out and talk!

- Ploy!
- Leave me alone. Get out!

Ploy, come out and talk.

Let's talk this out. Hey!

Ploy!

A dating app does help us
meet other people more easily.

Where are you? What are you doing?

I'm about to leave.
See you in half an hour.

On the other hand,
you don't actually know

whether the person you're talking to
is hiding any secrets.

Ploy!

Ploy, where are you going?

Let's talk! Come on!

- What?
- Let's talk!

- What else is there to talk about?
- Where are you going?

We still haven't talked.

Where are you going?
You're all dressed up!

I'm going out!

- Ploy!
- Leave me alone!

- Ploy!
- Stop! Get off!

Ploy!

Hey, I'm sorry.
Can you not be mad at me?

Sorry.

Have you been waiting long?

No.

Thanks for agreeing to meet me
at the last minute.

It's okay.
I told you it's not a big deal.

- A glass of beer, please?
- Right away.

Some secrets are a lot
more dangerous than we imagine.

(Calling Ploysai)

Darn it!

Darn it!

Anything seen from a distance will
always appear beautiful.

But it might not be the case
when you approach it.

Should you just leave
the problem for tomorrow?

Have fun with me tonight.

- You cheated on me, didn't you?
- Let go! You're hurting me!

- Answer me! Ploy!
- I said let go!

Ploy, is this really
what you're going to do?

I think you should find a girlfriend

so you can finally stop nosing
into my life, Bank.

I have feelings for you,

and I want to be your girlfriend.

I don't know
if I can reciprocate your feelings.

Is it because you have feelings
for someone else?

Cut!

Let's do it again.

- Oh dear. The shoe's in the frame.
- It's okay.

- It's not visible
- No, it's not.

Peat.

- Don't come any closer!
- Let's talk!

Leave me alone!

Did that hurt?

- Cut!
- No.
