Original subtitles

My parents would like you to come over for a meal.

And why are you telling me this just now?

You promised me you’d socialize.

Don’t follow me.

The student exchange program in the US you asked about,

they’re now accepting applications.

A year?

I love you, Sun.

I want to spend every day with you.

I love you too, Ongsa.

I want to spend every day with you too.

What does…

that mean?

Sun, don’t look. Don’t look!

Ongsa, you don’t look.

Okay. I’m not looking. I’m not seeing anything.

What’s going on?

What is it? What?

Did someone break in? What?

Why are you holding a knife, Alpha?

Episode 10 THE UNIVERSE’S SECRETS

Ongsa, try this clear soup my mom made.

It’s so good.

Thank you.

Good?

Ongsa.

Sun told me you moved from Phuket.

How are you doing? Have you finally adjusted?

I think I have, Auntie.

No. Mrs. Fueang.

Did you just say Mrs. Fueang, Miss Ongsa?

Mrs. Fueang, I like that.

Honey. Don’t tease her.

You too, Sun.

Ongsa, you can call me Mom.

Sun’s girlfriend is like a daughter to me.

Mom.

Mrs. Fueang…

Mom, did you say I was Sun’s girlfriend?

I did.

You’re Sun’s girlfriend, aren’t you?

Come on, Mom. You don’t have to broadcast it.

Well, well.

Says the girl who is smiling from ear to ear.

Dad! Don’t tease me.

My daughter is just the coolest.

Of course, I am.

So you are okay with Sun dating me,

who is also a girl?

Girls date girls these days.

There’s nothing weird at all.

Love is not defined by gender.

That’s right. We’re totally fine.

Sun can be with anyone, boy or girl,

as long as she loves them and they love her.

My daughter might be small but she can be a big pain, Ongsa.

Mom, I’m not.

Don’t believe her, Ongsa.

Dad and Mom, I will take the best care of Sun.

Please do so, Ongsa.

I should be the one who takes care of you.

You’ve always taken care of me.

Well, I want to.

You’re still a kid.

You’re a kid, just like me.

You can take care of each other.

And do you know the secret to having a long-lasting love?

What is it?

No keeping secrets.

It’s the key to our love.

That’s how we’ve been together this far.

True. Especially about money.

No financial secrets.

I’m full. Excuse me.

Sit back down and eat.

Sit.

Ongsa.

Hmm? What’s up?

Do you think one year is long?

Why do you ask?

I just want to know if one year is long for you.

Um…

I think it’s long.

Long enough for things to change.

Like when Alpha and I were kids.

We were both the same height.

But then Alpha moved to Bangkok and we didn’t see each other for a year,

I grew a lot taller.

Hmm.

And do you love Alpha just the same?

I do.

Why do you ask?

I’ve got something to ask you.

What is it?

Let’s suppose one day we have to live far away from each other.

How would you cope with that?

Far away? How far?

So far away.

If so, I can always call you.

But if I miss you so much, I might go there to visit you.

Really?

Mhm.

Why do you ask?

Where are you going?

Ah, nowhere.

It’s just a hypothetical question.

I’m not going anywhere.

That’s good.

I’d be so lonely if I didn’t get to see you for so long.

Mini Sunny.

Hey.

What’s going on, Luna?

Is Aylin home?

Isn’t she with you?

She hasn’t come home yet.

She’s not picking up.

What? Did you have a fight?

No.

Just a small incident at lunch.

I urged her to try socializing and have lunch with other people.

She promised me she would.

But when the time came, she just disappeared.

She’s not picking up her phone.

Do you know anything about her?

Did something happen to her as a kid?

To be honest,

I know nothing about Aylin.

I really suck.

We live under the same roof, yet I know nothing about those two.

It’s okay.

I’ll try calling her again.

Hey. Aylin just messaged me.

[I’m seeking the cessation of suffering. Be home soon.]

Hm?

What’s going on with her?

- What the heck is wrong now? - Are we really going?

Heck yeah!

The gate is closed, man.

Does it look closed to you?

Take a look.

You’re breaking and entering.

Shit. Ton.

Let’s leave.

Are you scared?

You said you didn’t believe ghosts were real.

Well, the surroundings are scary.

And I’ve never been to a temple at night before.

Haven’t you attended a funeral?

No.

Has no one in your life died at all?

No!

My dad, mom, grandpa, grandma, uncles, aunts,

close relatives, and distant relatives, are all fine.

You’ll be the first person in my life who dies.

What a mouth, asshole.

No wonder why Charoen doesn’t like you.

It’s not the time to talk about Charoen.

We are hunting down a ghost at Luangpu Sek’s temple, my friend.

That’s bull.

You came to see her.

Do you really think she will be here at this hour?

Use your brain.

Why are we even here?

Shut up. We’re already here.

Holy shit! What is that?

Don’t spook me, man.

I don’t know.

Shit! What?

What is that?

Shit!

Don’t push me. I might fall.

Get closer and take a look.

Must be a Preta.

What?

Pretas can’t hide in bushes.

A small Preta can.

It must have done the fewest sins compared to its folks.

What?

Let me film it.

Still in the mood to film it? Come on.

Yes.

I’m not a Preta.

Holy shit!

A talking Preta?

Ton, you dumbass.

A human voice.

Hey. What are you doing here, Aylin?

Are you looking for a Preta like we are?

Stop talking about Pretas, will you?

Is there a problem, Aylin?

Is something bothering you?

Hey, you all.

What are you guys doing here so late at night?

We’re sorry, Luangpu.

We’re just…

I didn’t know where to go.

I can’t seem to find peace of mind.

So I came seeking a spiritual anchor.

Would you like to hear a sermon?

No, sir. I’m leaving.

Are you sure?

Goodnight, sir.

Hold on.

Let your seniors send you home.

Nighttime can be quite unsafe.

Would you mind sending her home?

You guys go to the same school, right?

- Yes, Luangpu. - Yes, Luangpu.

Remember.

If you feel troubled or have concerns,

talking about them with someone can be helpful.

Do you understand?

May you all be blessed.

Let’s go, Aylin. We will take you home.

All three of us go together, it should be safe.

That’s right.

Come on.

What is taking them so long?

Here they are.

Aylin.

We were worried sick.

Are you okay?

I am okay, human senior, human cousin.

We took good care of her. Don’t worry.

So how come you guys found her in a temple?

Mawin and I went to Luangpu Sek’s temple to hunt down a ghost.

We coincidentally found her there.

What were you doing in the temple, Aylin?

I’m going to bed. I’m tired.

Excuse me.

I think she’s got something on her mind.

You were there with her.

Don’t you know what happened?

We still can’t figure out why she was there.

I tried asking her but refused to answer.

It’s like she’s keeping a secret.

I think we should find a way to help her.

At least as a student committee.

Thank you guys so much for looking after Aylin today.

You’re welcome.

We’re leaving now.

See you tomorrow.

Get home safe.

Get inside. Bye-bye.

See you tomorrow.

See ya.

Come on.

Now take me home.

Yes, Miss Luna.

What? Aylin did that?

Yes.

She smeared a plate full of food on Ton’s face.

Has she been stressed out about something?

Aylin isn’t usually like that.

Right, Ongsa?

Right.

But I don’t know much about Aylin.

I got to know her better after I moved to Bangkok.

As for what happened before that,

she’s never told me.

I think…

I get her.

There must be something she doesn’t know how to tell people.

So she chooses to keep it inside.

But we’re friends. She can tell us.

Some things aren’t that easy.

I asked around about Aylin.

What do you know?

She doesn’t have friends in her class at all.

And it’s been worse lately.

แทบไม่คุยกับใครเลยล่ะShe doesn’t even talk to anyone.

But before this, she followed my advice.

It seemed fine for her.

Why is she like this now?

Do you know the line graph of courage?

What are you talking about?

Hold it.

To do something, we need courage.

This line will go up, up, and up.

Especially with some support, the line will shoot up like this.

But at one point, you’ll feel like you’re up too high.

Then you get scared.

And when you’re scared, the courage you once had will disappear.

And then...

...you fall.

Bam! Even below your starting point.

See?

I think this is what is happening with Aylin.

Wow, Ton. You’re capable of getting serious.

Come on.

Don’t ruin my cool, man.

So that means if we know what she’s scared of,

we might be able to help her.

But the problem is we don’t know what she’s scared of.

Hey.

Maybe… we should take this to Teacher Bambam.

She might know a way to help Aylin.

We should.

Yes, we can talk to her.

I think teacher Bambam and Aylin share some similarities.

Why would you think that?

Because…

Because Teacher Bambam is similar to Aylin.

You’re talking about our beauty, right?

Nah-ah.

Your weirdness.

Teacher Nida.

Please, Teacher Bambam. Please help Aylin.

I’m glad that you two are worried about her

because I am worried about her myself.

But I’d like you guys to think from a different point of view.

What do you think is the reason someone doesn’t want to express what’s inside just yet?

They aren’t ready?

Correct.

And what do they need in order to be ready?

Time?

Correct.

Everything takes time.

Different people take different amounts of time.

Some people are hesitant to speak their minds

because they are still taking their time to find their way to say it

or deciding on what to do.

That’s what I would do.

What if, in the end, Aylin decides not to tell?

If she decides not to tell, that’s her choice.

All we can do is support and trust her.

At the end of the day,

we can never force someone to share their true feelings, right?

Human Sun.

Why are you up here?

It’s peaceful up here.

I came to clear my head.

Am I invading your personal space?

No.

Then may I sit?

Aylin,

how long do you think a person can keep a secret?

As long as they can

until they decide it shouldn’t be a secret anymore.

You’ve got something on your mind, haven’t you?

Mhm.

Me too.

If you’re afraid to say it

because you think it’ll make you feel bad or look weak,

don’t be.

It’s not that simple.

I know.

But you must say it...

in order to remember that there’s someone who is willing to listen.

What about the thing on your mind?

It will happen too after I say it.

Say what?

Thank you for dropping me off.

Ongsa.

I’ve got something to talk to you about.

What is it, Sun?

Sun.

Is something bothering you?

I…

I'm thinking if I should take a test for the exchange program scholarship in the US.

What did you say?

Exchange program?

Teacher Nida told me...

there’s this scholarship available for our school.

I told her...

I wanted to be an exchange student and experience living abroad.

So how long will it be?

About…

a year.

A year?

But I’m thinking…

Thinking what?

I’m thinking you should take the test with me.

There are two spots.

If we help each other study, we can both make it.

I can’t go with you, Sun.

Why not?

Don’t you wanna be with me?

You still here?

Still need to do something?

Why do you look troubled?

Well…

I’ve just got something on my mind.

Is it about love?

Why would you think that?

Well, I can see it from your expression.

But I have help.

Help?

Any problem can be solved with a few flips of the tarot cards.

Disclaimer, this is only a guideline.

Can it be trusted?

It doesn’t hurt to try.

The card clearly says you are in love

and thinking about someone at the moment.

What else does it say?

It says you love the person but are afraid to express it

because you don’t know what they think.

Without saying it, you can only be...

an acquaintance or a friend.

Oops! Are you being friend-zoned?

And what if I say it?

Can they take it?

Can you pick three more cards?

These cards say that the person is quite dense

and doesn’t understand anything easily.

Wow. How accurate.

Precise.

Ah!

Also, an unlucky person.

Hapless, to be exact.

I always have to help.

Then you must confess directly.

If I want to confess, how should I do it, Teacher Bambam?

Are you asking me or the cards?

I am asking you.

If you’re afraid to say it straight up,

how about sending flowers?

Send them to the one you like.

What flower?

How about orchids?

Why orchids?

Because orchids are the symbol of love and graciousness.

More importantly, in love language,

orchids say, “I can’t refrain myself from missing you.”

Good?

Will that person know it?

You can write a note with the flowers.

I hope the person isn’t too dense to read.

The famous steamed crab meat curry.

A gift from Phuket.

Thank you.

Eat up.

You don’t like it?

It’s from your favorite place, Ongsa.

It’s not that. It still tastes good.

Thank you for bringing them.

Did something happen while we weren’t here?

Nothing.

Kids, we are family.

We shouldn’t keep secrets from each other.

Whatever it is, we can share.

Honey.

Let’s put it this way.

Whatever problem you may have, you don’t have to keep it to yourself.

You always have us standing right next to you as your family.

Ongsa,

have you talked to Aylin lately?

Not really.

She seems like she doesn’t want to talk to anyone.

What about you?

What about me?

Are you doing okay?

You seem stressed.

It’s about Sun.

What about Sun?

Sun asked me to join the exchange program in the US.

Do you wanna go?

I think Sun will understand.

The real problem is what you guys will be when living apart.

Right.

It’s a whole year.

Don’t stress.

I think you guys can maintain this relationship.

You really think so?

Mhm.

It’s good to talk often.

True.

From now on, feel free to come to me if there’s any problem or if you just want to vent.

Thank you, Alpha.

So when will you tell Mom about Sun?

I get you,

but you can’t hide it from Mom forever.

One day she’s going to find out.

Aylin, sweetheart.

Yes, ma’am?

Are you okay, Aylin?

I understand that you don't trust your classmates

due to your painful past.

I used to be like you.

I know how it feels to feel like you’re different.

Sometimes choosing to be alone does not resolve your miserable past.

Opening up to empathetic friends is the way to forget the pain from your past.

I get it now.

Is there anything you want to vent?

We are all ears.

No.

Please excuse me.

What?

With all the talks, I thought she would open up to us.

Right.

We came all the way up here.

I hope I don't fall down the steps again on my way back.

But there are elevators, Teacher Bambam.

Why didn’t you say so when we came up here?

Well.

- Elevator? - Yes.

- About the exchange program… - Why do you want to join the exchange program?

How should I explain?

It’s so important to you, isn’t it?

I…

I have a dream.

I dream of exploring the world.

I want to travel,

to live with people who speak different languages than us.

I want to try living abroad for once in my life.

Because after graduation from college,

I’ll have to take on the family business.

Though my parents have never said so,

I, as the only child, can’t abandon what my mom and dad have built.

Wow. Your answer is so cool.

How?

It’s cool because...

you have everything in your life planned out.

While we are the same age, you seem a lot more mature.

You are cool too, Ongsa.

I am not.

I’ve never planned anything like you.

I thought I wanted to be a vet just because I like spending time with Latte.

I don’t have a solid plan like you do.

The reason I said you’re cool...

is because you are kind, lovely, and funny.

So…

I have decided that

I will not join the exchange program.

Why not?

Because you are my happiness.

I don’t want to be away from my happiness.

But I don’t want you to do that.

It is your dream.

I’ve thought about it for a while.

If you’re not going, I won’t take the test for the scholarship.

You’re very important to me, Ongsa.

But…

Human cousin, human Sun, follow me.

I’ve got something to say.

What is it, Aylin?

It’s about me being ‘Alien’.

[Astronomy Club]

Humans.

Alien knows that everyone here thinks of me as family,

little sister,

and…

friend.

You don’t see me as an alien, like all the people do.

Then why are you acting like you’re an alien, Aylin?

Because humans aren’t friendly.

How?

Who did anything to you?

Since I was young, before I moved to live with Aunt Aor,

people always gave me a weird look,

always teased me,

and…

They bullied you, right?

You’ve always been bullied to the point where you don’t trust humans.

Is that right?

You must’ve been bullied since you were a kid.

That’s why you don’t open up to new friends.

How harsh was the bully, Aylin?

That’s not the point, Ton.

Bullying and harassment, harsh or not,

leave scars on someone anyway.

Aylin,

do you know that those who bully and harass people are not actually humans?

What are they, Sun?

Germs, I guess.

Or garbage that should be gotten rid of.

Exactly.

But the amount of this type of garbage is excessive.

So how should we fix that, Alpha?

I guess all we can do is not abandon those who are bullied, like Aylin.

Right. Do not abandon your friend.

What are you doing?

Doing what friends always do

when their friend is down.

There, there.

Don’t cry.

We will protect you, Aylin.

From this moment on, you don’t have to be alone.

You can hang out and eat with me, Tinh, and Charoen.

Though we are in different classes, we can be friends.

Thank you, human friends.

Jeez, Ton.

Are you crying?

I think

I feel inspired.

I will not run the Mysterious Stories Club anymore.

What?

What will you do then?

I’ll set up a club for those bullied.

I’ll be their spooksperson…

Spokesperson.

Yeah, that.

I’ll be the spokesman for people who’ve been bullied

because I…

love everyone.

Hey. She smiles because of you, Ton.

That’s new.

That’s a good thing, right?

I can make her smile.

A round of applause for the man, please.

Good job.

You did great.

Whose is it?

I hope you’re not too dense to figure out.

From your secret admirer.

Who is it?

But this feels familiar.

Flower.

Dense.

Wait. Is this…

Do you get it now?

Teacher Nida, you like me?

That dense person you like... is me?

That’s right.

That dense person is you, Teacher Bambam.

Will you tell me now if I’m out of the friend zone?

But I don’t have the cards with me now.

I’m not asking the cards.

I’m asking you.

Why are you putting the flower on your ear?

I am blushing.

You’re blushing.

That means…

You like me too?

I’m not sure.

I’m gonna go ask the cards first.

Hold on. Your cards are over here.

Stop.

Good job.

Slowly.

One, two, three.

You’ve mastered it, rider.

I have a good teacher.

- Where is it? - Right here.

Okay.

Thank you for seeing me off, Miss Sun.

It’s the duty of a good girlfriend, Miss Ongsa.

Your hair is all messy, rider.

Do you still like me with this messy hair?

It’s too late to back off now, isn’t it?

I like you with all my heart already.

Sun.

I have something to say.

What is it?

I want you to join the exchange program in the US.

Why?

But I don’t want to go anymore.

It’s a whole year.

I can’t bear it.

Sun.

I don’t want you to throw away your dream.

Don’t tie our relationship to this.

Why would you say that?

Don’t get me wrong.

I just want you to follow your dream.

Realizing your dreams is one kind of happiness.

Will you be able to handle us being apart for a year?

Is everything all right, girls?

Hello, Mrs. Aor.

Hi.

Is everything all right over here?

Did Ongsa do something to you?

No, I didn’t.

We were just talking.

Sun, you should go home.

It’s getting dark.

I’m taking off then.

Hold on, Sun.

Would you like to have dinner with us?

Of course.

You like the food, Sun?

I do, sir.

Eat up.

Alpha and Aylin won’t be joining us for dinner.

Alpha has a study group

and Aylin is having dinner at Luna’s.

Luna also asked us to join

but Ongsa didn’t want us to be a third wheel so we turned her down.

Aylin and Luna?

Seriously?

Yes, ma’am.

- Since when? - I think…

your food is so delicious today.

Right, Dad?

Aylin and Luna are dating?

Why didn’t I know that?

You and Alpha never told me.

No wonder why Luna has spent the night here a lot lately.

That’s the reason.

What about my girl, Ongsa? Are you dating someone?

- It’s me… - No! I’m not.

I’m not dating anyone.

What? Why would you say that?

What is it?

What is going on here?

Uh…

So you’re never gonna tell your parents about me?

About what?

I’m not following.

Ongsa, are you keeping a secret?

Well…

Ongsa and I aren’t just friends.

We are girlfriends.

Sun, why are you saying that?

No, you! Why are you doing this to me?

Sun.

[เสียงเปิดประตู]

Sun.

Sun, wait.

Sun.

Sun, wait.

Sun.

Sun.

Sun.

Sun.

All these times, I’ve been trying to understand you, Ongsa.

I think we should call it off here.

The Earth without the Sun is not livable.

What’s the matter?

Sun doesn’t love me, Alpha.

What the heck are you doing in the middle of the field?

There's only one Sun left now.

At least I’m visible to this Sun.

Ongsa, are you out of your mind? Don’t run.

Whatever you need, you can tell us.

I need Sun back.

Can you give me that?

Do you want Luangpu Sek’s holy water?

No.

Sun.

You don’t wanna see me, fine.

But I want to talk to you.

It’s late. Let’s go home.

You can come back again tomorrow.

Ongsa.
