Original subtitles

Mom: I’m having my eyes on this guy!

Seriously? Mom?

You’re not scared of being touched anymore?

I am,

but I saw you coming.

Besides, we’ve been living together for days.

I kind of got used to it.

- Also, - What is it?

if it’s you, I don’t feel scared.

I feel safe.

That’s so nice to hear.

What are you making?

Stir-fried chicken with holy basil and fried egg.

That works for you?

Of course. I’m not picky.

Though, I prefer it not to be too spicy.

Two chilis are enough.

Also, I prefer chicken breast without skin.

Don’t add sugar.

No MSG.

No oyster sauce.

And no dark soy sauce.

Keep it dry. Add lots of holy basil.

Lastly, I prefer my fried egg with a crispy edge and sticky yolk.

Are you sure you’re not picky?

Alright, I’ll work on it.

You’re so lovely.

And what about loving me?

That’s an old joke.

Gen, I just got a job

at a place on the third street from here.

Starting the day after tomorrow.

If you’re trying to earn money to pay rent,

no need to.

I won’t ask you to pay.

I can’t do that.

I should at least pay for the utilities.

I also want to continue my study.

So, I need money.

Whatever works for you.

You wait for now.

Please take a seat.

- Hi, Big Sister. - Why are you here?

I’m checking in on our promise.

Hey, I don’t have time for your nonsense.

- Get out. - Hold on a second.

Does this mean you haven’t talked to Aoey yet? That’s okay.

I’ll do it myself.

She’s sleeping. Just leave for now.

It’s noon already.

She’s not you!

I smell holy basil.

Did something get into you?

You cook?

Aoey without glasses is so cute.

Stop looking and leave now!

Great, do you want to have lunch with us?

Of course, with pleasure!

If you’re still here, I won’t help you anymore.

Come on.

Aoey, I’ll have to leave now

as I have something else to do.

I’ll have a meal with you soon.

I’ll call you.

Go!

You’re acting like you’re her girlfriend!

Aw!

Aoey, when you go to work,

tie your hair, no makeup, and take off your glasses.

- Why? - Trust me.

Just do what I asked.

Will do.

Just tell me what you need,

and I’ll do it.

Good.

Lunch is served.

Gen, do you want to use the laptop?

No,

I just checked to see what you’re up to.

I’m writing a novel

to publish online before leaving for work.

A novel?

Can I read it?

No! I feel embarrassed.

Aoey, when you said you wanted to study at a university,

I wonder what you want to study.

Like, where?

I’m thinking of an open university.

That way, I can work while studying and only need to leave for exams.

If that’s the case,

the university Great’s studying in is taking new students.

I’ll send you a link.

Maybe it’ll work for you.

Well,

I still have lots of time to think.

I’ll think about it later.

I need to see how much money I’m earning from my novel.

Thank you, Gen.

I invoke my laptop’s owner privilege.

Wow! She’s got a lot of readers.

Aoey, where are you rushing to? Talk to me first.

I’m a fan of your novel.

I read every single chapter.

I just want to know when the next chapter will be released.

Why are you backing away?

Do you want to have lunch with me? I’ll take you there.

- Have you eaten anything? - Aoey, let’s go.

I’m here to take you to lunch.

Hold on now.

Didn’t you see I was talking to her?

I did. And?

Aw!

My toes!

I’m thankful, but that was too unnecessary.

Who cares?

Do you know

that you seem so possessive of me?

What?

That’s not what it is.

I just don’t like that fake blonde head.

If you see him again,

tell him to get lost. You got it?

Would you like some desserts?

Our kitchen is about top close.

We’ll have mango sticky rice.

Separate coconut milk and nuts.

And please get us Ok Rong mango.

Slice it into bite-size pieces.

- Thank you. - Yes, ma’am.

You remember how I like it?

If it’s you, I remember every detail.

The guy we just met is Skyfall.

He’s a fan of my novel.

I only met him in person today.

You have lots of fans.

Why don’t you publish your novel as a book?

If I do pre-orders and only a few people order it,

the printing cost will be so high.

If I print lots of books,

I’d probably lose money.

How do you know I have lots of fans?

Did you look at my page?

I’m sorry.

I needed to use the laptop,

and you forgot to log out.

So, I accidentally saw it.

Next time,

if you want to know anything about me, ask me first.

Okay. I won’t do it again.

Promise?

Promise.

Hey, Gen!

You came so early. Is there anything you need?

My friend is a novel writer.

So, I need your help in publishing her novel.

Wait.

Tell me first who this friend of yours is.

Her name is Aoey.

She’s a friend from elementary school

from when we lived in Korat.

That pretty friend of yours who stays in your condo?

Wait, Gen.

You live with a friend at your condo?

Yes.

You normally don’t let anyone stay at your place.

Are you sure this is a friend?

Let me ask you this.

Is she related to you moving all your clothes there last time?

- She is not your girlfriend? - Absolutely not.

But can you help with the novel, Mom?

I can’t help you with that.

Aw, Mom.

I can’t help

because that’s not my expertise.

I’ll talk to Uncle Dom

to see if he can help you.

He owns a book publishing company.

Yay!

You’re the best.

You’re the most beautiful.

Thank you.

However,

you need to date one of my chosen soon-to-be sons-in-law.

- Do we have a deal? - Come on, Mom.

- I don’t want to. - I don’t want to either and don’t know how to help.

It’s just a date.

Not the end of the world.

Okay, fine.

Thank you, anyway.

I need to leave now.

Are you not going to have a meal with me?

There’s something I need to do.

I promise that I’ll stay for a meal with you next time.

Okay, sure.

Take the food and fruits with you.

I bought a bunch of them.

Great will help you carry them.

It’s okay, Mom. Don’t make it his problem.

I’ll carry them all myself.

You look suspicious.

I’ll help her carry the stuff and check her room.

If you’re done, you should leave.

Why are you such a buzzkill?

You’re so protective of her.

I’m not. If you keep talking to her,

she’s going to be late for work.

Fine, I’ll go.

Aoey, I’ll have to go now.

I’ll see you later.

Buzzkill.

You’re protective of me?

No, why would I?

If not, then I guess you felt jealous?

You’re jealous

that I talk to someone else?

What is it?

Do you see my phone? I don’t know where I put it.

Um, I’ll leave for work now.

I’m late.

Aoey. Aoey.

Aoey, it’s me.

It’s me, Gen.

Calm down. Calm down.

It’s okay. Everything is okay.

I’m so sorry about that, Great.

It’s okay.

You need to leave now. Otherwise, you’d be late.

I’ll be on my way.

Stay safe.

Why is she so sensitive to touch?

No idea.

Why can you touch her?

I guess she trusts me.

So, if I’m going to approach her,

I have to visit you more often

to gain her trust.

to gain her trust.

Are you really going to?

Touching her makes her go nuts.

I mean it!

I promise to never make your friend sad.

Please be a bridge for us!

Please.

Fine.

Don’t blame me if she breaks your heart.

Thank you.

One more thing.

Why is she so scared of being touched?

I don’t know.

Ask her!

Sure, fine.

Only if she tells me.

If she doesn’t, you need to find out somehow.

Please help the Little Brother.

- Please. - Fine, fine.

- Got it. - Okay?

You can leave now.

- On my way now. - Whatever.

Just leave.

Aoey,

you’ve been in Bangkok for a long time.

I’ve never seen you call your family.

Didn’t Sali say anything?

No.

Doesn’t she worry about you?

Or is there any problem between you and your family?

No.

I’m an adult. Why would they worry about me?

If you have a problem,

please tell me.

This guardian angel will help you.

Thank you.

You’ve been such a big help already.

- Gen. - Huh?

You already promised me

that when you want to know something about me,

you’ll ask me first.

I asked, but you never answered.

What else can I do?

No! No! No!

Gen, what can I help you with?

I’d like you to investigate one of my friends.

What did she do to you?

Not like that. It’s more me worrying about her.

She never told me what made her the way she is.

This friend must be important to you, I presume.

Hence, you came seeking my help.

It’s not that overly important.

Just a friend from my elementary school.

Do you not trust me, Gen?

I sent an audio file to your phone.

Oh, Aoey? Her mom just kicked her out of the house.

She said that Aoey was flirting with her husband.

Such a shameless girl. She doesn't even care that it her mom's husband.

There're so many men out there and yet.

Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with being single.

Look!! Even someone like me, who’s attractive, is single!

If everything I uncovered is true,

I don’t think you should associate yourself with her.

But ...

she’s my friend. It would be impossible.

It seems you are paying special attention to her.

My beautiful Big Sister, have you talked to Aoey?

Not really.

Gen, you’re back.

I brought you some sweets.

Thank you.

Gen,

a publisher just called me.

Really?

I told you that you can do it.

They said they’ll send me a contract as soon as I accept.

I’m so happy. I’m going to make money!

- Aoey. - Huh?

What do you think of Great?

Great?

He’s fun to talk with.

Why do you ask?

Does he take good care of you?

Is there anything you want to tell me?

Um.

Great likes you.

And I guess you like him, too?

Why do you think I like Great?

He’s good-looking. He’s rich.

Fun to talk with and overall nice.

Do you want me to date Great?

I could do that. I’ll date him. We’ll be so sweet together.

Aoey.

Cut the sarcasm.

Why?

I don’t like it.

Maybe Great does.

Don’t get on my nerves.

I’ll have him take me to lunch.

I’ll feed him.

I’ll have him take me to a movie.

Then, I’ll put my head on his chest. How’s that?

You’re a big flirt, aren’t you?

That’s why Sali banished you.

What did you learn?

Isn’t that true?

You said you would stay away from my personal life.

Isn’t it your fault for not telling me the truth?

- Is it? - Yes.

If someone’s going to live with me,

I should know who they really are.

What you know might not even be true.

Aoey.

Can you tell me the truth?

Gen,

can you trust me?

I’m not what you said I am.

When I’m ready,

I’ll tell you myself.

I looked into it

because I care about you.

I assume that it’s been tough for you.

That’s why you have nightmares every night.

I hate to think about it.

I’ve never apologized to anyone,

but I’m really sorry this time.

I’m glad

that you’re sorry.

That made me feel so special.

I, too, am sorry

for saying that

despite knowing that you meant well.

However,

I’m still mad at you.

Please don’t.

Why is making it up to someone so hard?

But I only do this to you.

You’re so lovely.

And what about loving me?

Yes.

And do you think of me the same way?

Yes.

What I meant is that you’re such a lovely friend.

I would obviously treat you the same way. Isn’t that right?

You can love me however you want,

and I’m happy about it, nonetheless.

Stop crying.

Aoey, I’m back.

Gen.

Look at this.

Whoa.

- It’s 80,000! - That’s a lot.

Now that you have money,

how about quitting your job to just study?

The income from my novel is uncertain.

I should keep my job at the café.

Do you come to work today? I’ll bring my novel for you to sign!

Is this why you don’t want to quit?

Are you being possessive of me?

Quit your job.

That’s an order.

Aoey!

Yes, Mom.

How’s your study lately?

It’s been quite tough, Mrs. Ning.

Don’t forget about your health.

Of course.

Hello, Mom. Hello, Mrs. Tubtim.

This is Gen.

Gen, this is Doctor Thot.

You’re studying medicine?

What kind of doctor are you?

For people or pets?

I’m an internal medicine doctor.

I treat normal everyday diseases.

And you? What do you study?

Architecture.

Didn’t they teach you when you were learning perspective drawing

to respect someone older than you?

Thot!

Maturity teaches you to figure out who to respect.

What I’m saying is you kind of look young.

What a perfect match.

I hope they get along well.

I’m so afraid that Thot will date someone of his gender.

That isn’t wrong.

Our world has become more open than ever.

Really?

What if Gen dates a girl?

Would you be alright with that?

Would I be alright?

I don’t know. I worry more about her not picking the right person.

- How about this? - Huh?

We leave the young ones be.

Staying here would only make us a third wheel.

Alright.

Guys,

Mrs. Tubtim and I need to run some errands.

You two stay and enjoy the food here.

Thot,

enjoy this meal with her.

Don’t forget to send her home, too.

I’ll go now.

Yes, Mom.

Mrs. Ning, you don’t have to worry.

I’ll take good care of her.

Sure. Thank you.

- Take good care of her. - Be a good girl.

- Okay, Mom. Goodbye, Mrs. Ning. - Goodbye.

- Take care now. - Goodbye.

You’re scared to be with me?

What am I going to even do?

Do you think I’m scared?

I caught and threw many people of your size before.

Tough one.

Order whatever you like.

I guess it’s on you.

No, we’re splitting it.

Miss Genlong is splitting the bill?

It’s a long walk. I told you to send me off down there.

I can’t. I promised your mom.

This is Doctor Thot.

And this is Aoey.

- Hello. - Hello.

I’ll leave you here.

- See you. - Thank you. See you.

What a pretty outfit.

Your fan is waiting for you at the café?

You have a guy sending you to your room.

It’s only normal that I have someone waiting for me.

Yes?

Oh, Skyfall?

Yes.

See you.

Aoey! Aoey!

Aoey! We need to talk!

Aoey’s smell is really good.

I’m taking very deep breaths today, for sure.

Yeah, that’s all for now.

What again?

Last warning. Stay away from Aoey.

Are you her girlfriend? Why are you so possessive of her?

I’m not, but someone like you should stay away from her!

Huh.

Someone like me? What about it, huh?

Hey! Too slow!

Let go of me!

I said let go of me!

Let go!

- Are you okay? - You!

- Are you okay? - You!

Will you stay away from her?

I will! I will! I’ll stay away from her.

- Will you delete everything? - I will!

I’m not keeping anything.

Let go of me, please.

It hurts!

Aoey! Are you okay?

Damn.

That girl is tough.

Hey, didn’t you say you went to meet a girl?

Why are you so beaten up?

I met a third wheel.

You need to help me take revenge on her!

Let’s go.

Hey.

Move, old man.

- What if I don’t? - Old man!

Be old somewhere else!

Or are you looking for some punches in the face?

Guys, let’s beat him up.

Losers.

I didn’t know he was this good.

- Is it hurt? - Hm.

I must be bruised.

Gen.

- What? - Today,

I quit my job.

- What? - Well, today,

I put in this pretty outfit

because I was going to quit

and go for a meal with you.

What about you meeting that blonde head?

I did that to make you jealous.

Never do this again.

See how that got you hurt?

It’s better that I got hurt

because I prefer it to be me instead of you.

Thank you for doing this.

I thank you, too, for caring about me.

You’re this lovely. How can I not care?

Hey,

getting into a fight like that,

was it because you cared, or was it because you felt jealous?

It’s not that overly important.

I’ve been watching you grow up since you were young.

I’m glad to see you care for others.

That’s a strong compliment.

When you went out with my dad to work,

I worry about both you and my dad.

That’s what family does. It’s only natural.

But what I’m talking about

is someone that’s not in our family

who will soon become someone special.

You only want good things for her

and protect her from harm.

This ...

is what caring is.

If you don’t want anyone to get close to her,

wanting her to be yours

and to have you as a special someone,

that’s still caring.

If the feeling intensifies

to the point where you don’t want anyone close to her

as it gets on your nerves,

making you angry,

this means that you have a very special feeling for them.

This is you being possessive of her.

I don’t know if I just care about you,

feel protective of you, or feel possessive of you.

I just know that it feels good

when you’re next to me.

Anything I can help you with?

Aoey, are you done feeding my kid?

Where’s my food? You’re so careless!

Mr. Thud will come to see me soon.

What should I do?

Dress beautifully, your grace.

What do you think of my outfit today?

Very lovely, your grace.

And what about loving me?

Mr. Thud will surely love you, your grace.

Despite you being just a servant,

you should be protective of me, too!

What if Mr. Thud is a womanizer and a horrible person?

Uh, yeah. No!

Yes, your grace.

You’re not doing it right!

You’re supposed to stay quiet!

You should’ve combed your hair while crying

because you pity your poor life.

Gen, please let me try it again.

I promise I’ll do better.

Fine, but I’m very thirsty.

Please get me something to drink.

Buy some for yourself, too. It’s on me.

Here’s some cash.
