Original subtitles

Who is he?

Finish the job.

Miss… Sis!

Who's this woman?

Maybe Mr. Aran's friend.

I think I have to stop doing Eat With Me.

Eat With Me just announced an indefinite shutdown.

Just watch me.

I'll find out exactly where the mysterious chef is.

These days, good cooks are so hard to find.

What do you do now?

Just selling homemade food to families nearby.

You can start working when you're ready.

You're walking straight into a death trap!

You said it yourself. It's easier to get to his bed.

I've noticed that you and Mr. Kim are always together.

I bet Mr. Kim has feelings for you.

What's so urgent that you had to call now?

Come meet me now. Look out your window.

How long have you been using this phone?

It may be old, but it still works just fine.

Hey.

Can you stop focusing on my phone already?

It's late now. Shouldn't we get to the point?

How was your day?

I found evidence that Mr. Aran had coronary artery disease

and had undergone balloon angioplasty twice.

This might have been one of the reasons

he decided to take his own life.

That's not what I meant.

I meant you.

Me?

How are you doing?

Are you tired?

I'm fine.

There's always something new to learn each day.

But you didn't come all the way here just to ask me that, did you?

Tonight, I just wanted to watch the stars.

The clouds are too thick. You can't see any stars.

I can.

What would you like for lunch?

I'll take care of it for you.

You care about me?

I thought all your thoughts were still with Aran.

I have been nothing but good to you.

He's dead. Why bring him up?

Because he's been dead for years but still manages to be a pain in my ass.

Excuse me.

Sanguansri.

How's the booking rate?

It hasn't improved, sir. In fact, 90% of customers

who booked through online travel agencies

have canceled their reservations.

I think this scandal

has severely impacted the hotel's reputation.

Well…

Have you considered holding a press conference?

And what do you expect me to say? I didn't kill Aran.

Just say "I don't know"? That's it?

If those keyboard warriors have proof, then bring it the hell on.

Damn it.

What are you doing here?

Good morning, sir. Good morning, ma'am.

I invited Nubdao here to work in my office.

Is that so?

And what exactly are you doing here?

Or did you just want a change of scenery?

To investigate--

I wasn't asking you. Don't butt in.

Well?

So, what did Kimhan ask you to do here?

I'm here to investigate the circumstances surrounding Mr. Aran's death.

- What did you just say? - Sir,

if we ignore this issue, the public's suspicions about you will only grow.

The hotel's reputation will suffer, and we'll continue losing customers.

Who do you think you are? And who do you think I am?

A mere intern has no right to lecture me.

Did you find any evidence?

I believe

I have discovered the real reason behind his death.

I want to clarify that Mr. Aran,

the co-founder of Oriental Paradise,

died by suicide,

not murder, as rumors have suggested.

What about the allegations from the Twitter account "Kill Bill"

that claim you were involved in Mr. Aran's death?

Rumors are just rumors.

Anyone can say whatever they want online.

To this day,

I haven't seen a single piece of solid evidence against me,

just baseless accusations

meant to damage my reputation.

So, are you saying

you completely deny any involvement in his death?

Listen to me carefully.

Aran was my best friend.

We went through thick and thin together

to build Oriental Paradise

into what it is today.

He was a good man.

The best friend I ever had.

How could I ever kill my own friend?

Do you have any proof

that he truly took his own life and wasn't murdered?

Here it is.

This is Aran's will,

written before he died.

He refused life-extending treatments

that would have only prolonged his suffering from heart disease.

Given this, it could be assumed that Aran was suffering.

He didn't want to go on.

He chose to end his own life rather than suffer from his illness

and the hotel's 400-million-baht debt

during the Tom Yum Kung financial crisis.

I hope this evidence

is enough to prove my innocence.

And let me make this clear.

Anyone who continues

to spread false accusations

or tarnish the reputation of this hotel

will face legal consequences.

No exceptions.

Since Mr. Aran suffered from coronary artery disease,

our hotel has decided to donate,

along with medical equipment,

to a foundation for heart disease patients

worth 60 million baht.

This is our way of honoring

Mr. Aran's memory.

ARAN JIRACHAWALAI

I've always wondered

if you really had heart disease.

I never believed that you would take your own life.

But today,

the evidence Nubdao found

proves that,

after all this time,

I was wrong.

You were my first…

and only love, Aran.

But I had no choice.

I had to marry Taychit.

It was the best option I had back then.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Thank you. Goodbye.

You must be thrilled that you managed to restore the hotel's reputation.

Yes, I am.

Shouldn't you be happy for the hotel too?

You've only been here a short time,

yet you're already making a name for yourself.

Congratulations. You've successfully put yourself in the spotlight.

Nubdao doesn't seek the spotlight.

But if her success overshadows someone, that's not her fault.

I was just complimenting her.

I didn't say anything bad.

Don't be so defensive.

She's my person.

Of course, I'll defend her.

How sweet.

If I didn't know you,

I'd think she was more than just an employee to you.

Maybe she is more than you think.

You did great today. Let's go.

Thank you.

But you shouldn't have said that to Ms. Yada. She'll misunderstand us.

I wanted her to misunderstand.

I'm not your toy.

You're not.

In the end, the truth has come to light.

Mr. Aran refused medical treatment

to end his suffering from heart disease.

Today, Mr. Taychit presented Mr. Aran's will

as proof of his innocence

to the press

and donated

to a heart disease foundation in his memory

for 60 million baht.

The chairman approved your early probation clearance.

From now on, you're officially a front officer

at Oriental Paradise.

You're no longer just a trainee.

Congratulations, Nubdao.

Thank you so much.

- Keep up the good work. - Sure.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Open it.

I need to be able to reach you at all times.

Thank you.

I'm thinking of buying a condo around here.

What do you think? No more long commutes.

I support that.

Condo renting is so expensive.

If you can finance it,

one day, it'll be yours.

Just make sure you pick wisely. You don't want to regret it later.

Come with me to check it out.

I already called a sales agent.

- Sure, why not? - Alright.

I'll treat you to a barbecue after.

We have a wide selection of units.

One-bedroom, two-bedroom,

duplex, and even penthouses.

Do you have a specific type in mind, Miss Namfah?

Well, right. Can I see…

a unit…

on the eighth floor?

- Eighth floor? - Yes, please.

It seems like they're all sold out.

Let me check.

I see one unit that just became available.

Would you like to take a look?

- Absolutely. - Right this way.

Please.

Whoa, you really made it.

Please.

Our unit is on the right-hand side.

- This way, please. - Alright.

Here we are. This unit is absolutely stunning.

I guarantee you'll love it.

This way, please.

Excuse me.

I'm thirsty. Could I get a glass of water?

Of course. Give me just a moment.

Thank you so much.

Today is the day. I have to meet him.

- Namfah, wait. - Step aside.

Mr. Pathawee, move.

Do you realize this is trespassing?

Mr. Pathawee, move.

- Think about it. - Hey.

Move.

Namfah!

So? What happened next?

Did you meet the mystery chef? Did you talk to him?

Talk to a ghost, maybe.

Huh? What do you mean?

Was he sick or something?

Nope…

Namfah!

You fainted?

I'm so disappointed!

I had the perfect plan. I was this close to seeing him.

And then everything was ruined.

So, you fainted, and Mr. Pathawee brought you home?

We were so close.

Just a single breath away.

And yet fate denied me once again.

Hey, don't worry. There's always next time.

Next time? I'm already embarrassed enough. I can't even

look Mr. Pathawee in the eye anymore.

Poor you.

Are you going to tell me

who that girl was?

A hotel staff member. Her name is Namfah.

She's obsessed with the mystery chef from Eat With Me.

And why didn't you just tell her that you are the mystery chef?

Because I don't want people to know that I run that page.

Only you and I know about this.

Okay, but what if she doesn't give up?

I have no idea.

You could just tell her.

You're the king of making simple things complicated.

Don't you have enough drama in your life?

I came here for advice, not criticism.

Don't worry, sweetie. I support you.

Now, let's go snuggle under the blankets, shall we?

Enough. Just go and close the door.

Stop overcomplicating things.

Alright.

You know, this is your daughter's favorite dish.

If something happens to me, please take care of Nubdao and Namfah.

What are you saying?

My daughters are the only thing that matters to me.

And I trust you'll protect them.

Why so dramatic?

Your daughters are like my own.

I practically raised them.

I would never let anything happen to them.

Just eat.

This is the best.

Hey! Miss!

Don't throw up!

Not in my car!

Did you hear me?

- Stop! - How did you get in here?

Get out!

Get out!

You sure have a strong arm.

I thought you were some psycho.

That's what I get for carrying you all the way here so you could sleep?

- You carried me? - That's right.

That was fast. Here, here, here.

Hey!

Hey.

Don't throw up in my car.

My car, seats, carpets, everything,

is completely covered in your vomit. It reeks.

How much? Just tell me the cost for cleaning.

I'll pay for it. Stop talking about this.

I don't like owing anyone.

Five thousand? Okay, give me your account number.

Fifty thousand.

Are you insane? What kind of car wash costs 50,000?

It's an imported model. You think deep cleaning it is cheap?

I'm not paying for that.

If you want money so badly, go ahead and sue me.

Hey. Wait.

At least tell me your name.

How can I sue you?

Who is that?

Aunt Sai said Ms. Jitree

hired a new cook to replace the one who left.

Her name is Ratree.

And who gave permission for that?

This house is mine.

Who do they think they are, bringing in someone new without even telling me?

Do I even matter anymore?

I was just about to tell you.

Did you even check her background? What if she's a thief?

You're being paranoid.

Stop right there.

Ever since your grandma moved in here,

you've been acting just like your mother.

One day, you'll end up pregnant with no father in sight.

Don't say things like that. They say

parents' words hold power. Your children will get

what you say.

Wait.

Where were you all night?

I'm tired of this house and the people in it.

If you're so miserable here,

why don't you just move out?

I'd be stupid if I did that.

Some people have been here for over 20 years,

yet you never kicked them out.

Why is that?

Because I love them.

Dad,

did you ever

even love me and Kim

like you do them?

He doesn't.

Because all of his love was stolen by them.

That's not true.

It absolutely is.

Are you stupid or just pretending?

Huh?

Do all mistresses pretend to be clueless like this?

And do all self-righteous first wives who keep pressing other people

think they're smart?

Absolutely.

Your mother once trampled all over my mother's heart.

Now, I'll make you feel exactly what she felt.

I'll return everything, every single wound she suffered.

Let's see how long you and your mother can endure.

Kimhan, what nonsense are you spouting?

Is the truth too painful?

Or has your new wife brainwashed you so well that you've forgotten

you had a family before?

But then, a shameless woman with no morals seduced you,

using her tricks to steal everything.

Oh, Dad, be careful, though.

Once you're no longer useful,

she might turn on you like a stray dog, biting the hand that once fed it.

Don't worry.

My mom and I never forget the kindness we've received.

The real problem

is people who pick fights with everyone without thinking.

Wee!

- Kim. - Let go!

Don't touch me.

Mom!

In my presence, you have no right to harm my son.

Do you understand?

And in my presence,

you have no right to lay a hand on my grandson.

Are you alright?

How did Ms. Sasi end up with Taychit?

I'm sorry, Mom. I wasn't patient enough.

If they insult me, I can take it.

But when they disrespect you, I just can't stand it.

Come on.

Let's not make things worse, okay?

I don't understand.

Why have you endured and given in to them for over 20 years?

All this time,

I've given in where I could.

And as for the bad things, I chose not to hold onto them.

The more you hold grudges, the more pain you carry.

But they've treated us horribly, Mom.

Maybe we're the ones

who have wronged them.

Try to understand them.

If you can yield, then yield.

But how much longer

do we have to endure and give in?

I don't know.

All I know is

we have to endure for as long as we can.

In my presence, you have no right to harm my son.

Do you understand?

Dad, I want to go to the amusement park. I want to ride the carousel.

Go tell your mom.

My sweet boy. It's okay, honey.

Your dad is just busy.

Tell you what.

I'll take you instead.

- Are you having fun, sweetheart? - Yes, Mom!

Make sure all the playground equipment is thoroughly inspected, Nubdao.

We need to ensure the children's safety, especially the carousel.

Understood.

Please take care of it.

Of course. I'll make sure everything is well taken care of.

When I was a kid, my mom once took me to ride a carousel.

I remember feeling incredibly happy back then.

What about you?

What was your happiest childhood memory?

For me,

it was folding paper bags with my sister.

The more we folded, the more pocket money we earned.

Yay!

I'm done!

Wow, great job, sweetie!

- I'm not done yet. - Come on. Let's eat.

Let's eat.

It smells good.

Take a big bite.

Open your mouth.

Is it good?

Sometimes, happiness

was as simple as playing with soap bubbles while washing dishes.

- Don't be too fast. - Are you a professional?

I do it every day.

- Nubdao is a professional. - I can't catch up.

Scrub well! Quick, quick!

Clean it well and send it over.

It's not clean.

Keep going. Good job.

Or maybe it was competing with my sister to collect plastic bottles

and selling them for ice cream money.

- I got one, Uncle Pu. - Let me see.

Well done, Namfah.

Nubdao too.

Let's go get some ice cream to celebrate!

Let's eat ice cream.

One more bite, okay?

It's so refreshing.

It's just one bite.

Here it is!

It's so cold.

Come on.

Your childhood sounds really tough.

Not at all.

When I look back,

I realize my sister and I were actually quite happy.

Mr. Kimhan, is there anything else you need?

Yes.

Got it. I'll do as you say.

Talking to your boyfriend, sweetie?

It's just a friend, Mom.

No need to hide it from me.

Your father already told me everything.

What exactly did Father tell you?

He mentioned your friend, Talay.

The world has moved forward, honey.

It doesn't matter to me who you love.

I'm fine with that.

It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman,

as long as they're a good person.

Wait, you and Father think that I…

No, Mother. You've got it all wrong.

Talay is just my best friend.

The person I like is a woman.

She's beautiful, well-mannered,

and kind.

If you meet her, you'll definitely love her too.

Well then, bring her home for me to meet sometime.

Of course, Mom.

GET READY FOR THE RETURN OF EAT WITH ME… COMING SOON!

Oh, it's you!

What's going on, Namfah?

The Eat With Me page! The Mystery Chef is coming back!

I have to like and share it right now!

It's just a chef. Is it really that exciting?

You don't get it because you're not in the fandom.

Such a shame…

If I hadn't passed out that day,

I would've seen his face by now.

He might not be what you imagine him to be.

Right. Who would be as perfect as you?

Have you been to an amusement park before?

- No, I haven't. - Then, let me take you.

Want to try that together?

What are we waiting for?

How about this one?

One more round?

Let me catch my breath first.

You didn't enjoy it?

I did,

but you seemed to enjoy it even more than I did.

Well, it's my first time at an amusement park.

Maybe you were waiting for me to bring you here.

This cake takes months to order in advance.

Please try it, Ms. Sanguansri.

Thank you, but there's no need.

I could buy it myself.

Please accept it.

You work so hard every day. You don't even have time to buy it.

The chairman always speaks highly of you.

What does the chairman say about me?

He says there's no one in this hotel as dedicated as you.

- Really? - Yes.

I think I should take you as my role model.

I'm just doing my job.

Is Mr. Kimhan not working today?

He came in but went out for something.

Where did he go?

That's his personal business.

I actually have some documents for him to sign.

How urgent?

I can take care of it for you.

Where did he disappear to?

Thank you so much.

You know,

my life is no different from a carousel.

It looks like I'm moving forward,

but in reality, I'm just going in circles.

Ever since I was a kid,

I tried everything to make my father proud.

But no matter what I did,

I was always just a failure in his eyes.

The only reason I keep going

is that I want to prove him wrong.

Mr. Kimhan, look at this.

What is it?

The carousel we're on.

It keeps going up and down.

And?

Life is just

like this carousel.

It has its ups and downs,

happiness and sadness,

spinning in cycles.

The more hardships we endure,

the closer we are to happiness.

My father used to tell me that.

So, I don't hold onto the past

or worry about the future.

I just focus on living in the present. That's enough.

Nubdao…

Your name is beautiful. Who gave it to you?

I don't really know.

Maybe my mom.

She passed away when I was little.

My father never talked about her.

I've never even seen a single picture of her.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to bring up something painful.

No need to apologize.

It's the truth.

What about your name?

My mom named me.

"Kimhan" means "summer".

She wanted my life to be

as bright and warm as the summer sun.

Do you think

I give off that kind of warmth?

I think you're more like the evening sun.

The sun that's about to set…

Doesn't that seem

a bit lonely and sad?

But I see it as the last warm light

that embraces the little stars at night.

When the sun sets,

it's time for the stars to shine,

isn't it?

Okay.

Tell the messenger to wait there. I'll be out soon.

Is something wrong?

Ms. Sanguansri has some urgent documents for me to sign.

But I can take care of it later.

Alright. Heal quickly!

And from now on, forget about the painful past,

little scar.

If you plan to stay here,

you better know who you have to obey.

Don't think your so-called boss

can protect you forever.

I never thought Taychit would take his best friend's lover as his wife.

Come on, sis. These things don't happen one-sided.

The woman must have been willing too.

You want this?

A French wooden cutting board signed by the chef?

How did you get this, Mr. Pathawee?

If you come to this restaurant, you must try this dish,

"Two-Hearted Seabass".
