Original subtitles

This terrible thing shouldn’t have happened to someone as good as Oom.

It should’ve happened to a bad person like me instead, huh?

So this is your decision?

I think your lack of judgment comes from your blindness.

You can lean on me.

We can go back inside once you feel better.

Here.

A helmet?

Yep.

It keeps your head safe

but won’t keep you from hearing.

Silly!

Of course, it won’t.

When I have too much on my mind,

I like to go for a ride.

Listen to the wind rushing,

horns honking,

or even people arguing on the streets.

Sometimes, the world’s noise

can drown out the noise of misery within.

What gives you misery, Oom?

Plenty.

Everyone has their miserable moments.

So…

is the world’s noise really louder than the noise in my mind?

That you have to find out for yourself.

With me next to you.

Well,

how do I look right now?

Funny.

I look funny?

Kidding. You look lovely.

I want to be able to see myself.

So?

You sure about this?

Let’s go fast and furious!

Hold tight.

Are you almost done, sis?

My customer’s been waiting so long, she could’ve had three kids by now.

Damn it. I bet they’re all dogs.

Just hold on.

Almost finished.

She can get sued for defamation.

Bonkers.

Don’t you know?

The angrier she gets, the tastier the food!

Really?

Yes.

You, little doggy.

Sis, come on! We’re dying over here!

Almost done.

Just a bit longer.

Here you go.

Thanks, kiddo.

Who do you have there?

My girlfriend.

Look at you!

You have such a pretty girlfriend.

Naturally.

Gosh, just leave.

Get out of my face.

Well?

Are you ready?

Ready to go.

Please help me with this.

No problem.

The doc has been picked up.

May.

Have some water.

Drink with me, Oom.

Let’s go.

Hi, Vee.

Back from Korea?

Right, I’m back and craving Som Tum so much.

Here.

Thanks.

What is this?

Sorry.

You see I just got back from Korea. I haven’t exchanged any money yet.

You take that.

It’s 1,000 Korean won.

The change is your tip.

I can’t.

I only accept Thai baht.

You can transfer instead.

Don’t you get it? I just got back from abroad.

I haven’t even set up my internet yet.

I can’t transfer.

Besides, what I gave you is worth a lot more.

Come on.

Don’t pull this trick.

I know this is a small amount.

Are you accusing me of scamming you?

You don’t know any better.

Just leave

before I call the police for trespassing.

Hey.

This is a shameless scam.

Scam?

I paid you, didn’t I?

- How could you say that? - How is this a scam?

How could you say that?

It’s obvious you’re pulling a fast one on me.

- Give me the food and take your money back. - Oom.

Let’s go.

May.

But we can’t back down.

Who said I’m backing down?

I recorded everything.

We can just sue her for fraud.

Show her this.

What?

Here.

MS. METAWEE, ATTORNEY

So?

I’ll check inside to see if I got any money.

Take this back too.

When you're blind,

ice cream tastes better somehow.

It’s like…

every detail, except what you see,

becomes more important.

I don’t think it’s the ice cream.

It’s you, May.

Hm?

The details.

You were so cool, showing her your card like that.

It had nothing to do with your blindness.

Vee was working illegally in Korea.

Then she got arrested

and was deported a few days ago.

She might really be out of money.

Still, that’s no excuse to scam someone.

True,

but it’s the reason why I’m asking you to let her off the hook.

Please don’t use the video against her.

You’re soft-hearted.

So, my ‘cool’ move was all for nothing.

Actually, I didn’t record anything.

Who could act that fast?

I knew it.

But you’re still cool.

And you know what’s even cooler?

My heart almost burst out of my chest

when I realized you were protecting me.

When someone protects you,

you want to protect them too.

Your ice cream is melting.

I’m protecting your hand from it.

More like an excuse to steal my ice cream.

I won’t let you win this.

(The sunlight warms the day, )

(Lifting the world from dismay, )

(All doubts are put to flight, )

(When love blooms so pretty inside.)

No!

Oom, help!

Anybody, help!

Help!

Oops.

When did you get back to work?

Hey.

Yes, it’s me, Oaboom.

Oaboom?

And?

This is May, my girlfriend.

Oaboom’s girlfriend?

Oom.

Who are you talking to?

Ah…

A friend.

He’s my…

childhood friend

named Kosol.

Tell me.

Have you ever told your friend anything about me?

So? Kosol?

She told me...

I didn’t.

I couldn’t.

Because he’s my ex.

I’d like to go home.

Come on.

Here, May.

Let me help.

You should go.

I want to rest.

Ms. May.

Ms. Nid,

please guide me inside.

Of course.

You’re still here?

I need to talk to you.

Is there anything you want to ask me?

I’d rather you just tell me.

All this time,

you’ve never told me anything.

All I know is...

you were a flight attendant,

we were together,

we fought,

I became blind,

you were gone,

and now you’re back.

Then…

listen to the story of this Oom.

I was born unimportant in my family.

I wasn’t a good student.

I wasn’t good at anything, really.

I’m not someone people can rely on.

Friends were the only ones...

who made me feel important,

and sometimes

it went too far to the point that we’d end up dating.

I just…

wanted to try loving someone.

I wanted to know

what it felt like to be loved.

So what was it like?

It felt like

my whole body was filling up with something,

and it just kept growing.

The more love I got, the bigger it grew.

But instead of feeling heavy,

no,

I actually felt like I could float.

It’s weird.

Bigger

but floaty.

I guess love is like…

the air in a balloon.

It makes us bigger,

beautiful,

and floaty.

What are you doing, May?

I’m scared

that one day

the balloon will float away from me.

The feeling I just told you

doesn’t happen when just anyone loves me.

It happens when you love me.

So don’t worry.

Kosol is just an ex.

I like it when you tell me things like this.

I can actually picture it

and feel it,

like I’m reading a novel.

You’re more of a bookworm than I thought.

Bedtime stories and novels.

When I was young,

when my parents used to fight…

Didn’t I tell you to raise our child with discipline?

All you do is blame everything on me.

That’s because you don’t follow my instructions.

You never do what I want.

You’re just good for nothing.

Maybe it’s the same theory.

Let other sounds drown out the ones you don’t want to hear.

Only, the sounds I used

came from my imagination.

I’m going to write a novel.

Another surprise for me?

So, not only are you a flight attendant,

but now you’re an author too?

I’m not a flight attendant anymore.

Just a jobless person.

Oom.

I actually wrote something in high school,

but it wasn’t that serious.

Now that you mentioned it,

I think I should try again.

I believe you can do it.

Yes.

I’m going to make it.

Can I get some support?

May!

It’s your support.

I meant tell me a bedtime story.

How could a bedtime story be better than my kiss?

Your bedtime stories inspire me.

Once upon a time,

there was a town known as the Town of Stars,

because it was full of bright, beautiful stars.

But there was one star,

far away from the others,

with a color different from the rest.

That’s why the people in the town couldn’t see it.

Hey.

Here.

I quit.

Why?

Your new girlfriend, aka your sister’s girlfriend, doesn’t like it?

I told him the story.

It’s my votive offering.

Why did you call me out this late?

It’s about your vow, actually.

You’d quit smoking if Ben survived.

Ben wants to see us.

Wow. Your ride is fast.

Are you riding a turtle? So slow.

You’re just flexing because that bike is new.

How about you catch up with Ben?

Jeez!

Holy shit!

Ben!

Ben!

After that, we went our separate ways,

going about our lives.

But Ben was left behind,

disabled for life.

Did you go visit him?

How’s he doing?

He’s still bedridden,

but he’s been a lot better.

He seemed more upbeat

and he wants to see you both.

I want to visit him but…

lately, I’ve been…

Busy with your sister’s girlfriend.

What?

Did you feel something when kissing her?

Yes, I did.

Don’t give me that funny look.

You and I were just messing around.

I know that.

I’m just surprised.

The first time you feel something kissing someone,

and it turns out to be your sister’s girlfriend.

How did that feel?

Was it weird since you’re both women?

Oh, Ai.

Not so fast.

Bring the food offerings to the shrine too.

What’s the rush, really?

(It’s obvious you feel something.)

You like her.

You like your sister’s girlfriend.

I don’t know.

All I know is I want to protect her.

And I hate it when people look down on her.

As to why I feel that way,

maybe it’s just because

this is the first time I’ve liked a girl.

Will her blindness be cured?

Why do you ask?

You seem confused when you talk about her.

You must find the answer

before she can see again.

I don’t know.

Jan told me…

Jan is Oaboom’s close friend.

She said

Oom and May fought before the accident occurred,

and then May went blind.

Then right now you must stop feeling confused.

Or you shouldn’t have been confused in the first place

because the one she kissed wasn’t you.

(It’s Oaboom.)

(Don’t forget that.)

Pim.

Let’s stop.

You don’t wanna do it anymore?

Um…

Not really in the mood.

Something on your mind?

There, there.

It’s okay.

How about this?

I will go out and get you the most delicious congee.

Once you’re full, your mood will be lifted.

Okay?

I’ll be right back.

Did you forget the keycard, Pim?

Ai.

Pang.

Help me.

SUKIYAKI / CONGEE / BLOOD PUDDING SOUP

May I please get SUKIYAKI / CONGEE / BLOOD PUDDING SOUP

two congees, please?

Sorry, girl.

We only have one left.

You can have mine.

Hey, you.

Here.

What about you?

I bought extra.

I’m used to buying one more for Oom,

the one in that car accident and the reason I needed to get evidence from you.

Thank you.

What are you doing around here?

I’m here to do a reading for my regular client.

You probably think it’s silly, don’t you?

I can’t help it.

I don’t really believe in that stuff.

You’re dealing with a love issue.

You could tell just by looking at my face?

No.

You bought two congees

from a place far from home or workplace.

So, I’m guessing your loved one lives nearby.

But they didn’t come with you,

which means you two are probably having some kind of conflict.

You’re spot on.

Or maybe you're just really good at reading people.

I think I need to make some time to get my fortune told by you.

Your congee is ready.

Yes, sir.

How much?

40.

40.

Thank you.

Here’s for your congee.

You can pay me later with my fortune-telling service.

But this time,

you must take my card, Captain.

Will you excuse me?

What is this?

I’m writing a novel.

If you don’t want to write a short story for the contest like the teacher suggested,

why not try writing a novel instead?

People always seem to love novels at book fairs.

I’m not writing anything.

Why not?

I know you enjoy writing in your diary.

You’re clearly into it. You should keep at it.

It’s none of your business.

After May mentioned that she liked reading novels,

I stayed up all night writing one.

Damn, I used to think I’d never write again.

Aren’t you confused anymore?

Please.

Who could figure things out that fast?

I have no idea why I like her,

but there’s no reason not to do what makes me happy

and what’s best for me, right?

So, you started writing a novel.

Yeah.

Can you read it and tell me if it’s any good?

If it is, I’ll read it to her.

I’m not reading it.

What?

Why not? It’s just a small favor.

If you’re going to like girls,

why can’t it be me?

You’re still thinking that way?

You knew?

You changed when I was with Kosol.

That’s how I knew.

Right.

I wasn’t okay with you being with a guy,

but at least I knew I had no chance with you.

But what is this now?

You suddenly told me

you felt something for that woman.

Why?

What am I supposed to do?

I’ve had feelings for you, Ai.

I’ve always had feelings for you.

If you’re going to like girls,

can it be me instead?

It’s not that you have no chance because I like guys or girls.

You have no chance because

I don’t feel that way about you, Pang.

You’re with Pim.

Ai...

Actually, May should’ve been the first person to read this.

I wrote it because of her.

(May, I’ll be there soon.)

(Can I get you anything?)

Sorry, Oom.

I have an urgent meeting with the council today.

(I’ll see you tomorrow.)

The blood pudding soup, can I get two instead of three?

Ah…

Sure thing.

Can’t wait to see you tomorrow.

Are you sure it was Oaboom’s ex who hurt you?

I’m not sure.

What?

Exactly.

That’s why I need your help to look into it.

I don’t want just theories.

I need evidence.

What if it was him?

What are you going to do then?

2023

Witness, did you state that the defendant intended to run over the plaintiff,

and that, following the incident,

the defendant attempted to flee the scene?

Yes, I did.

How did you know the defendant tried to flee?

I saw him trying to get out of the car

and he suffered many setbacks.

But he couldn’t escape in the end.

He couldn’t escape?

That is correct.

He staggered, fell,

and was unable to rise.

What caused him to fall?

I don’t know.

I was watching him and saw

he was trying to get to his feet but he couldn’t.

As the sole eyewitness that night,

may I ask that you consider carefully

what could possibly have caused those demeanors of his?

He was probably drunk.

Drunk?

I managed to avoid the blood alcohol content test,

but you made me admit I was drunk.

Or do you want to be imprisoned for attempted murder?

Are you that dumb?

You managed to avoid the test,

but didn’t manage to avoid getting caught on camera

when you chased after that guy.

So…

what do you want me to do?

I’ll turn this case into...

driving under the influence causing bodily harm.

Objection, Your Honor.

Yes?

The defendant’s counselor is asking leading questions,

trying to get the plaintiff’s witness to say the defendant was drunk

in order to minimize the punishment.

May I speak?

Yes, the defendant’s counselor.

Mentioning the punishment could make the witness feel biased while giving testimony.

This court is a place of truth and fairness.

We shouldn’t introduce anything that might cloud the truth from the witness, should we?

Objection overruled.

The defendant’s counselor, please continue.

We all took an oath to speak the truth before this court.

Witness, can you tell us again

if you smelled alcohol

when you approached the defendant?

You’re aware of what you’re doing, aren’t you?

I’m always aware...

of what I’m doing.

You’re a very competent attorney.

METHEE: WIN THIS CASE AND I’LL LEAVE YOU AND THAT WOMAN ALONE.

I’ll have my people stop following that woman.

And I’ll turn a blind eye to your homosexual behavior.

Eat more, honey.

- I’ve got dessert— - Do whatever you want from now on.

Just don’t make it so obvious.

Remember,

people still know you’re my daughter.

My attorney fee for this case.

Why did you give it to me?

Think of it as the price of my freedom.

Your freedom costs so little, huh?

That’s just a little extra.

I already paid for my freedom

with pride in my profession.

You completely destroyed me.

Is that price enough for me to finally have true freedom?

May, honey.

I paid you with all my heart.

Right now I just want to...

love someone.

I hope you can give me that.

CALLING OABOOM

Oom, I know you landed.

Call me back immediately.

EMERGENCY

Not getting out of the car, huh?

Get out!

I said get out!

‘OABOOM’ CAN NOW BE REACHED…

Not getting out, yeah?

No?

Fine.

Not moving, yeah?

Oom, help!

Oom, help me.

Oom!

I told you to get out!

Help!

Help me!

No?

Oom, help me!

Oom, help me!

Those who do wrong must be punished.

(I just understood this feeling from The Little Prince;)

(“If you come at four in the afternoon,

(I'll start being happy by three.”)

(When you told me you liked reading novels,

(I suddenly wanted to write one.)

It’s cheaper online.

That’s an imported good.

No tax is added to it.

This one is made locally. Support Thai businesses.

Hey.

Have you eaten?

After the offering ceremony was done,

I finished the food too.

It might help with Oom’s recovery.

Good.

I hope you can do this every day.

It helps your sister to recover faster.

Yes, ma’am.

You still ask Ai to offer food to the hospital’s shrine?

Yes.

You should prepare for the worst.

Oom’s condition is severe.

I’m not selling you this sponge.

It’s no use for you.

Your mouth is too filthy to be cleaned.

Take back your money.

Why are you so upset?

I was speaking the truth.

Where are you going now?

And what is that rose for?

Whoa.

This rose smells a lot better.

Hey.

You wicked.

Bye now.

Dr. Ton.

Hi.

You came again?

May shooed you away last time.

I brought a guest to visit her.

There.

I brought you flowers. Cute, huh?

There are roses, the ones you like.

And a little cherry tree here.

It smells so good. Sniff it.

Please. You’re never allergic to flowers.

Come here.

Who is she?

Her ex.

Her first girlfriend, the one she can never forget.

A "favorite ex," if you will.

You guys hungry?

Should we order something?

We should order a lot.

Let’s get everything you want, May.

Bring back our memories.

Don’t order it.

I know a good restaurant nearby.

I’ll go buy it for you.

You like novels,

so I’m writing one.

I will reward you

for each chapter you finish.

May!

Sorry, I can’t see.
