Is your family the owner of Mouse Mart?

What defines the line for "knowing later"?

Probably if you had the chance
to tell but didn't.

Actually, dating Mouse Mart's
owner's daughter,

there was no need to open
your own grocery store.

I know now that

Prof. Mahnmook isn't just your old friend.

Maewnam.

Be my girlfriend.

I'm someone who puts a lot of effort
into everything I do,

including this.

Actually, I brought something for you too.

A whistle?

It's true you have a security camera,

but last time,
something bad nearly happened.

So, I brought you a whistle, as another
kind of alarm against intruders.

If something scary happens again,

blow it loud.

I'll come to you right away.

Thanks.

Just "thanks"? That's it?

Okay then, if there's anything you want,
feel free to take it.

Get home safely, okay?

Okay.

Hey!

YUTH PANICH

What?

It was working fine on my way here.

It must have hit something.

Uh… well…

How about staying over tonight?

It's already dark, so if you walk back,

it might be dangerous.

Mmm, it's okay.

My dorm's just right over there.

It's just a short walk.

Good night.

She actually asked me to stay over.

Why did I turn her down?

What if I turned back and said,
"I've changed my mind"?

Ugh, that'd be so weird.

Is this how I should blow it?

Hey.

Wait, I'll help.

Maewnam, wait here for a sec.

Towel and pajamas!

Here you are. And there's
a new toothbrush in the bathroom.

Okay, thank you.

Som, Maewnam is staying over tonight.

Do you think
we should sleep in bed together?

Or should I sleep on the floor
and let her take the bed?

Here you are.

Option one. Sleep together.

Option two. I sleep on the floor,
and she sleeps on the bed.

Left or right?

One? Sleep together?

How can we do that?

Ugh, go out to get food.

I'm not talking to you anymore.

How could we sleep together?

It's better if I sleep on the floor
and she takes the bed.

Okay.

I'll sleep on the floor,
and you take the bed.

No, no. I'll sleep on the floor,
and you take the bed. That's better.

Hey, it's fine, Wan. You take the bed.

I'll sleep on the floor.

Hey, no.

Come on, Wan.

Fine.

You can't sleep?

I don't want to sleep yet.

I want to keep looking at you like this.

I'm scared that if I close my eyes,
I'll find that all this was just a dream.

You're exaggerating.

I mean it.

I'm so happy right now.

And you? Are you happy too?

Well,

of course I'm happy.

If you can't sleep…

should we find something to do?

Yay! Gotcha!

Oh, come on, what is this?!

I've got so many cards left!

Fine, I give up.

Wow, why did you give up so easily?

Maewnam, the strongest person
in the world, come on, get up.

You want me to fight, right?

- Come here!
- Hey! Not like that!

Not that kind of fighting!

Don't fight me!

Ugh, that's cheating!

Don't fight like that!

Stop!

Give up yet?

I'm not giving up!

What? What happened?

Whoa, Maewnam!

Look at how you ate it so messily.

Let me carefully wipe it off for you.
Hang on.

Whoa!

Your mouth is all messy.

Okay.

Here. Do you want to wipe your hands?

Thank you.

Here.

Hey.

Is this you as a kid?

Your makeup was pretty bold.

Papa did my makeup.

He said I looked pretty,

and I actually believed him.

Your dad's amazing.

He can do everything, even makeup.

I think your dad trained you
for fashion week.

If he heard that, he'd be so delighted.

But honestly,
Papa really was my everything.

He cooked for me,

took me to school,

taught me how to swim

and how to drive.

The truth is, I grew up because of him.

My mom passed away when I was three,
and now I'm almost 30.

I was always with him.

But later,
I barely ever went home to see him.

It's been almost 100 days
since he passed away.

I really miss him.

Hey!

No, don't take that!

You looked so pretty at university.

And now I'm not pretty?

You are.

The older you get,
the more beautiful you become.

But I have memories with this one.

Papa, I asked to move into
a university dorm.

You're okay with that, right?

Here you are.

Hey, answer me first.

Aw, are you really leaving my side?

If you go, how am I supposed to live?

Come on. I'm going to study.

Don't be so dramatic, okay?

Bro, you want Wan
to just stay stuck at home like you, huh?

She'll come home on weekends.

- True. It's not like I'm leaving forever.
- Yeah, right.

You two are in sync.

You're taking her side, bro.

Look at her now.

If the alarm doesn't go off,
she can't even wake up.

I have to be the one waking her up.

And if she lives on her own,
what's she going to eat?

She'll just eat bread
and microwaved meals all day.

No proper nutrition,
no balanced diet at all.

See? That's the problem.

You've done everything for her.

When will she ever learn
to do things herself?

Am I right?

Let her face the world, okay?

Exactly.

I can do it on my own.
I'm strong, you know.

I'm not forbidding you. I'm just worried.

- I'm worried, okay? Can't I be worried?
- Of course, you can worry.

Send all your worries over here.

Mmm, this is tasty.

A father's heart, you know…

When your kid leaves home, it's like
lightning strikes right through it.

I'm just kidding.

Hey, it's raining.

Eh?

Wan, pack up the stuff in front of
the store. I'll get the laundry.

I'll go get the motorcycle.

Hey, wait up!

I don't know what you're going through,

but don't stay out in the rain like this,

or you'll get sick.

Today might feel heavy,

but problems are like the rain.

Some days it pours hard.

Sometimes, there's a storm,

or sometimes it floods.

But trust me,

there will be a day when the rain stops.

I was really down back then,

but you came into my life
and became a source of happiness to me.

I'm really grateful that you helped me
get a hold of myself.

I was determined to thank you in person,

but when I came, there was no one there.

Excuse me.

Oh! What did you come to buy, dear?

I just came to return an umbrella.

A sister lent it to me last night.

Oh, Wan lent it to you?

Just leave it right there then.

Is she here?

Wan is not here.

She's moved to a dorm near her university.

But I lived with intention.

I studied hard, got into university,
and became a professor nearby,

all so I could meet you again.

That's ten years.

But it was worth the wait.

Wait.

I remember you told me back then that

you were crying because
your parents broke up, right?

Yes.

So does that mean
they're back together now?

No, they never made up.

Go then!

Go wherever you want!
Just get lost! I'm sick of you!

I was leaving anyway!
You don't need to tell me to!

And I'm not coming back!

Everything I have, I'm leaving to you.

All this time we've been together,

have you ever earned money
for the family?!

I've been the only one
supporting this family!

Let me talk to my daughter first.

No!

What's the point of crying?

It won't change anything.

There's no place for the weak
in this world.

If you're not strong,
you're totally worthless.

A few years later,

my mom remarried.

When she did, it even made the news.

WEDDING OF THE YEAR, HISO COUPLE
MOST SUITABLE COUPLE OF 2017

I see.

So Mouse Mart
belongs to your new family, right?

Yes.

So that means

you're always helping others,
doing Maewnam Service,

because you don't want to
spend their money, right?

What was that sound, Wan?

That must be Som.

She probably wants to come into the room.

YUTH PANICH

Wan.

Thank you.

For what?

For giving me a chance.

I'll show you
that I'll support you in everything.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

I'm going to sleep at home tonight.

I'll try talking to my dad
about Mouse Mart

and see if there's any way to fix things.

You're this lovely.

How could I not give you a chance?

I'm lovely, and do you love me?

Say it.

Get going already.

Okay, fine.

Thank you, my love.

What? I didn't hear that.

Thank you, my love.

Hello. Are you the owner
of this grocery store?

Yes, I am.

Is there something wrong?

We got a report recently about a break-in
and assault. I'm here to follow up.

Do you have any evidence?
A description of the suspect?

I have CCTV footage.

CCTV?

Please copy the clip onto a flash drive
and send it to the station.

If the suspect returns,
please call the police station right away.

All right.

Okay, thank you.

- Um… is that all?
- That's all. Thank you.

Ugh.

It took them long enough to come.

Uncle, were you the one
who filed the report for me?

Why didn't you report it that day?

I thought if I just threatened him,
he wouldn't dare come back.

Besides, I wasn't hurt or anything.

Maewnam came and helped in time.

Still, the police have to be aware.

If this doesn't end here,

there needs to be proof that
you didn't start anything.

Yes.

I just don't get
why it's always the victim

who has to find the evidence
and prove everything.

That's just how our laws are.

They wait until the victim
gets hurt first.

They don't protect you
before anything happens.

Anyway, just be careful, okay?

Yes.

Don't tease me, or it won't be pretty.

Guys, I have something to tell you.

You're going to say
Wan is super cute again, aren't you?

Do you have any other words to say?

I do.

Wan and I are dating now.

What?! For real?! Congrats!

So? Spill it. What happened?

I literally dropped my nail polish
just to call you.

Don't be so dramatic.

Well, last night…

Miss Sudteerak.

I need to hang up now. I'm at
my dad's place for some business.

I'll tell you all about it soon.

Yes, Mon.

Mr. Veerawat, have you ever
analyzed this phrase?

When one business grows,
another one collapses.

Isn't every step Mouse Mart takes forward

also destroying grocery stores
and small family-owned shops?

Have you ever heard the term
"crown shyness"?

It's a natural phenomenon.

The natural gaps that exist
between treetops.

Every tree has its own space
to grow its branches

in a way that avoids
overlapping with others.

And I'm going to
make Mouse Mart a big tree,

one that doesn't block others' light.

Here you go. A nice cold drink.

Here you are.

By the way,
your sales this month still look okay.

We'll have to see how much they drop
once Mouse Mart actually opens.

I don't think Mouse Mart
will open here anymore.

Mouse Mart isn't opening here?

Maewnam helped me.

You two are dating now?

Her dad owns Mouse Mart, so she said
she'd talk to her family for you?

To cancel the construction?

Her stepdad, actually.

Yeah, whatever.

Honestly, I think it's going to be tough.

Canceling a construction contract without
solid grounds could lead to a lawsuit.

Seriously? It's that bad?

I'm just stating the facts.

Maybe Maewnam has a way to help you.

Hey, don't make that face.

Your store's definitely going to make it.

I hope so.

This was my dad's store. My dad's home.

I won't give up.

Good.

And now that you've got
someone supporting you,

you can totally do this.

So when's my friend getting someone, huh?

Ugh, no thanks.

Just working already wears me out.

But it's good you've got a girlfriend now.

I don't have to babysit you anymore.

Whoa. Listen to that.

I'd never leave you.
I'm sticking with you forever.

Okay, okay, that's enough.

- Let go!
- No!

Come on, let go.

You're wrinkling my shirt.

I've got to run now.
I've got a client meeting.

Thanks a lot, Noey.

Here, take them.

- You're not drinking this anymore?
- Nope.

I really need to move on from you now.

I'll send the work over once it's done.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Mr. Vee, Miss Sudteerak is
waiting to talk to you.

I heard from Mon that
you wanted to talk to me?

Yes.

The new branch that's being built

is right near my dorm.

Construction has already been
going on for a while.

But I want to ask you to reconsider
opening that branch.

There's an old grocery store there,
and I'm worried they'll be affected.

But I'm not just here to beg.

I want to suggest a new location.
Inside the university.

There are lots of students there,

and the traffic flow is pretty good.

It lines up with what you said
in your interview just now.

Is it possible?

It's a great idea,

but I think you're telling me
a bit too late.

The construction's already over 70% done.

We can't cancel the contract.

Why not?

Well, it's a franchise location.
Someone already bought the rights.

And they've already started hiring staff.

Even if we cancel the contract
and refund the owner,

what about the workers
already in the system?

They've all got families too.

Wouldn't they be affected just as much?

All done!

Keep it for when you miss me,

so you'll remember
how pretty the maker is.

Just knowing you're going home
this weekend

already makes me miss you like crazy.

Can I miss you now?

Of course, my love.

You know, it's kind of great

that Maewnam finally got together
with that grocery sister.

Let's invite Wan into our gang.

We can go on couple dates,
like a double date vibe.

It'll be super fab.

Nice. I love it.

Come to think of it, Pinky,

Wan is pretty close with your mom, right?

How about telling your mom that
Wan is dating Maewnam?

We can also see how she reacts.

Really?

But would Maewnam be okay
with us telling her?

I'll ask first.

Can we tell people you're dating Wan?

Sure. I'm okay with it, and Wan is too.

There you go.

I'll try asking my mom.

But if she's not okay with it,
what do we do then?

But if she is,

then we won't have to
hide it anymore, right?

This timing is perfect.

Maewnam is one of our close friends too.

How about calling your mom and asking now?

Okay.

Ooh, speaking of the devil!

Fern, my daughter's finally calling me!

See? She misses her mother!

Hey? What's up?

Planning to come home for once?

Geez, Mom, I've been working today.

And why do you want me to go back?

Do I even need a reason for that, huh?

Come on. Can't you just check in
and ask how I'm doing?

"Are you doing okay, Mom?"
"Have you eaten?"

But no, when I talk too much,
you say I'm annoying and naggy.

Whatever.

I'll just sit here all alone at home.

Oh my gosh, Mom.

That was so much drama
without taking a breath.

Why are you calling me anyway?

Did you know Maewnam is
dating someone now?

Huh? Really? Who?

That grocery store sister.

Huh? Wan didn't tell me anything!

Yeah, I just found out too.

That's why I called
to tell you right away.

I knew it.

I was wondering why
those two seemed so close.

Phew…

Phew what?

I'm relieved.

I was getting worried seeing her running
the store all by herself.

I thought she might be lonely.

It's good she's got Maewnam now
to look after her.

Now I guess I'm the only one sitting here,
old and lonely, watching over the salon.

- What about me?
- Stop it!

Mom, that's enough. Quit the drama.

I'll come home tomorrow, okay?

Good! Come home so I can see your face.

Tell me what you want to eat.
I'll prepare it for you.

Yes.

Yeah.

See? She called me already.

I told you she misses me.

- Stick your hand in already.
- Okay, okay!

Oh, and wait, did I hear right?
Who's dating who?

Wan and Maewnam are a couple now.

Wan and Maewnam?

Yep.

- Aww, that's cute! Right, sis?
- Yes, they are!

Ugh, it's so hot, Fern!

What did she say?

Mom seems okay with it.

She even said she's relieved
Maewnam is helping take care of Wan.

That means there's
nothing to worry about on our end.

Pinky, you're going home tomorrow, right?

Try talking to your mom then.

I'll wait for the news here.

Please?

I love the nails you did for me so much.

You're amazing, babe.

You should open a nail salon.

DID YOU TALK TO YOUR DAD
ABOUT MOUSE MART YET?

HOW DID IT GO?

I'm sleeping alone tonight.
I'm so lonely.

I'M SLEEPING ALONE TONIGHT.
I'M SO LONELY.

I'm lonely too. I'm working on
my research all by myself.

Then I'll go sit with you.

Then I'll go sit with you.

You're so cute, Wan!

You're so cute, Wan!

You got this, little Maewnam.

You got this, little Maewnam.

Thank you!

YUTH PANICH

CLOSED FOR ONE DAY.

Wan.

- Are you going to make merit for your dad?
- Yes.

I'll come with you.

CLOSED FOR ONE DAY.

Just as rivers full of water
fill the vast ocean…

Here's a plum soda for you.

Oh, thank you.

Whenever we used to come to make merit,

Papa always bought me this.

It's packed with ice,
and it's always super sweet.

I never liked it,

but he loved it.

Whoa… it really is sweet.

How could he even drink this?

I guess it was a taste
he was just used to.

I wish he could have one again.

But honestly,

I should have brought him here
while he was still alive.

I shouldn't have just said it.

There were many times I said

I'd go home for meals and then didn't.

That makes me feel even worse.

Wan, he knew.

He knew you were busy.

Honestly,

someone like him never got mad at anyone.

He was incredibly patient.

It was just me
yelling at everyone all the time.

When I found out what kind of person
he really was,

I started wondering whether he was proud
or disappointed in what I was doing.

I kept thinking…

I needed to make him proud.

To show him that I was successful…

by having a house, a car,

and a stable job that would allow me
to take care of him

so he'd never have to work again.

But I strayed so far from that point

that sometimes,

I didn't even come back to see him.

Wan.

Listen to me.

I get it. Nothing in this world is free.

You can't survive without money.

The ones who say

"money can't buy happiness"

are already rich.

What I'm trying to say is,

if you keep your head down
chasing money for them,

and never once
look up to see if they're still there,

what's the point?

We all have
different circumstances in life.

But if you know you've done your best

under the circumstances
you have to deal with,

then don't beat yourself up.

Give yourself some credit.

Don't just criticize yourself
all the time.

Take it from me.

If I can keep going, I will do it.

If not, I'll take a break.

Your life belongs to you, Wan.

I believe you have the power to choose.

Thank you, Uncle.

CLOSED

Closed?

Hey?!

Closed? What do you mean, closed?

- You're shutting down for good?
- Why are you freaking out?

"Closed"? What does that mean?

Does that mean you're quitting?

Wait…

I wrote, "Closed for one day."
Where's the other bit of the sign though?

Did it blow away?

You scared me.

I thought you were closing the store
and leaving me.

Calm down. I'm not going anywhere.

So, how did the talk go?

Well,

I did try, but…

It's okay. I understand.

I know you did your best.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Wan.

But I'll help you 1000%!

Thanks.

But the sign's still missing.

I remember writing it, but…

Wait, there it is!

Or maybe I really have to
shut this place down.

It's okay.

We'll open again tomorrow.

I'll go print a new sign.
There's a print shop over there.

SOM SALON

Bring the bowl, Fern.

Honestly, this job suits you.
Everything you do is half-boiled.

- Ugh! Is that really how you see me?
- Be careful.

I always see you as the odd one.

Look at you, all dressed up at the stove.
Is this winter for you or something?

Well, I have a date
with a motorcycle driver.

Another new one?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You never stop arguing, huh?
- Hi there!

Oh, hey, sweetie! How are you?

- Smells amazing, right?
- Yep.

- We're having sukiyaki tonight?
- Of course.

I just suddenly craved sukiyaki
with that fermented tofu sauce.

No idea why.

Maybe I just wanted a little pink in my
life since you moved to the condo.

Are you serving sukiyaki or sarcasm?

Your head's next!

What's up? Have you eaten yet?
Do you want a bowl?

Yes, and one more please.

Someone's joining me.

Hello, Mom.

Hello, sis.

Hello!

I'm sleeping here tonight.

Really? All right!

Sit down. I'll bring it over.

My daughter is sleeping here!

Thanks, Pinky.

Staying here might not be as comfy
or private as our condo.

Even though I haven't told Mom
who you are to me yet,

I'm going to show her.

Are you okay with that, babe?

Mm-hmm, I'm okay.

Hot! Hot!

It's hot! Chom, help me.

Coming.

- Fern, bring the rest.
- Here you are.

- This one's mine.
- It's yours.

Yeah.

- That's for you, little sis.
- Thank you.

That's yours.
Bring the fried dumplings too.

Oh yeah, we have those too.

If you're into bold flavors,

feel free to add more chili, garlic,
and fresh lime juice.

- This looks so tasty, Mom.
- Dumplings coming up.

- Let's add dumplings too.
- Crispy!

Wow.

Chopsticks, sis.

Pinky, I don't eat dark leafy greens.

I'll eat them for you then.

Here, have some soft pork, your fav.

So… you said you're sleeping here tonight?

Why? What happened?

Condo blackout? AC broke?

I already gave the room back.

Huh?

I figured I'd just move back home.

You weren't really comfortable with me
being over there either, right?

Well, not that much.

Don't be dramatic.

Fine. Move back home then.

And what about her? Splitting up?

Uh, no…

Well…

She's staying here with me.

Thinking about it, this place is actually
closer to the university,

so I invited her to move in with me.

Why? Is that a problem, Mom?

Not at all. I'm fine with that.

Make yourself at home.

Thank you.

Just stay together. Let's eat.

- Let's eat.
- It's sukiyaki, not rice.

You're arguing, huh?!
Whatever, it's still food, isn't it?

Are you a sweat machine or what?

Sukiyaki is spicy, okay?

Papa.

Oh, hey, Wan.

You're hungry already?

I'm sorry. I took a while prepping.
It's just finished.

I was just about to call you.
Come, let's eat.

Sit down.

Planning to eat standing, huh?

Here, try it.

Tell me if it tastes delicious as always.

The veggies just went in,
so they aren't quite soft yet.

Do you wait for me often before eating?

Hmm… not really.

If I'm too hungry, I just eat first.
I won't wait. That's all.

And when I said

I'd come eat with you,

but I didn't,

how did you feel?

It's okay.

You're a grown-up now.
You have responsibilities.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't answer your call.

I'm sorry I didn't come back
to take care of you.

I'm sorry I was so neglectful
that I didn't even know you were sick.

I'm sorry.

I really did want to come back
and be with you more,

but I couldn't keep lying to myself
when you asked me

how work was going
or if everything was okay.

I'd always have to say,
"It's going great, Papa,"

even if I didn't feel like that at all.

I felt bad and didn't know
how to answer you.

Listen to me, Wan.

In this world, no parent wants to see
their child unhappy.

That's why I always asked how you were.

I was worried.

And I'm sorry too
if I ever made you feel bad.

I love you, Papa.

I know.

I love you too.

But at least
I don't have to worry anymore.

You've got someone good by your side.

I've seen it.

Now come on, let's eat mala!

I've been waiting for you forever.

If it's too spicy, just drink water.

- I might have overdone it today.
- Eat up, Papa.

Lots of chicken!

I miss you.

Wan, is something urgent?

Why are you here so early?

There are two things, actually.

I was going to talk to you last night,

but it got too late,
so I didn't want to bother you.

I got up early and came to talk here.

What's up?

Are you free today?

Can I use Maewnam Service?

What do you want to hire me to do?

Renovate the store.

Back when we weren't talking,

I actually thought about closing
the store down because of Mouse Mart.

I kept thinking about what I should do.

Should I go back to a full-time job?

Should I ask for my old job back,

turn the grocery store into a food store,

or just do something else entirely?

But in the end, I changed my mind.

I realized something.

How could I give up
without even putting up a fight?

But the most important thing is,

right now, I'm not fighting alone anymore.

I have a partner
who's ready to fight beside me.

Right?

You know what?

The way you think
is seriously the coolest, Wan.

Let's go.

MAEWNAM SERVICE

So what's the second thing?

I miss you.

I want to hug you.

Let's go now, shall we?

Have you picked a name yet?

I have.

I'll write it down.

Here.

Are you sure about this name?

It's done, Wan.

Great job.

Hey, Wan.

Your top is stained with paint.

Here?

Don't wipe it.

It will just smear more.

You'd better go change your shirt.

Okay. You can come down, right?

Wan, are you seriously
taking your top off?

Well, it's got paint on it.

I was just going to
take it off to wash it.

Do you want to take yours off to wash too?

April is supposed to be hot,

but you're the one who's adorable.

I know Mouse Mart opening here…

It might be a problem for my store,

but I'll make sure
it won't be a problem for us.

How exhausting it must be to carry
the weight of taking care of someone!

Teach my daughter
some housework, will you?

Otherwise, what guy would ever like you?

Chompoo might not even like men.

Mouse Mart opens tomorrow.

Are you ready to fight?

Of course.

Because I've got you, Maewnam,
right by my side.
