Original subtitles

Khun Nueng, I forgot my phone.

I just realized I forgot my phone.

Can you go get the phone for me?

Did you drive far before realizing it?

Just a little bit.

I remembered, so I rushed back.

Are you staying here tonight?

Yes.

When will you go home?

The semester will be over in 2 weeks.

I'm leaving now.

Don't stay up too late.

Okay.

Please take care of Anueng for me.

My boyfriend confessed two months ago

that he has to marry another woman his mother wants him to.

Why did you turn it off?

It's getting fun.

How is this supposed to be fun?

Other people's issues sound fun to you?

I've been listening with you for a while, and it's all about stealing each other's lovers, like in soap operas.

I think the real story is more fun than the soap operas.

How so?

Ar-Nueng...

What?

I just don't understand.

Why do we have to share our own issues on the radio?

Um...

I think it's more comfortable.

I like it too.

Sometimes, it makes you think.

How?

When it comes to love, every couple has their own issues.

It's up to them whether they will hold hands and fight through them or not.

What about you?

Will you fight for it with me?

Oh, Ar-Nueng. I don't think my dad saw anything this evening.

Because he talked to us naturally.

Are you worried about it?

A little bit.

Why do we have to worry about this kind of stuff?

This is your house.

Don't say that.

We shouldn't do something like that in plain sight.

But we're in the bedroom now.

No one can see us.

What are you going to do?

You're so naughty.

Why won't you stop?

You're naughty.

Let's listen now.

Are you sure you didn't forget anything?

No, it's just...

What?

Nueng.

You promised me that you wouldn't do this again.

No one will see us.

It's just...

Just a kiss one the cheek.

One last time, okay?

You're not going to kiss me back?

What?

Nueng.

If you don't do it, I won't go to class.

I will sit here.

Nueng.

Oh my, it's getting late. I'll be scolded.

Gosh! You're so naughty.

You're too far.

Am I close enough?

Go to class now.

Okay.

I will go now.

What do you want to eat for dinner? I'll ask auntie Nim to prepare it for you.

Can I have crab meat curry with fermented rice noodles? It's been a while since I had it.

Sure.

That's great.

I want to eat it too.

Mom.

How come you're here?

What? Can't you guys be happier to see me?

I miss you so much.

Give me a hug!

I haven't seen you for a while. You look so much more grown-up without your glasses.

You're as beautiful as I am!

When did you arrive here? You didn't tell me you were coming back.

It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you.

I miss my daughter.

My daughter is so beautiful. There must be a lot of people approaching you.

There are a few.

And?

Do you have a boyfriend now?

Not yet.

So you don't like anyone?

I just want to tell you that

if you're going to date someone,

you should be with someone who is your equal.

And most importantly,

that person must be a man.

I have something to talk to Ar-Nueng.

Go wait outside for just a moment.

Your gallery is beautiful.

Whatever it is, just say it.

I heard something strange from Chet.

About what?

There's something going on between you and Anueng.

What is it?

Are you two dating?

You came back to ask me about this?

Actually, I really miss my daughter.

And when I heard about this, I had to hurry back.

So what's going between you two?

What do you want me to answer?

The truth.

Is it true?

Yes.

Anueng and I are dating.

Isn't this what you want to hear?

Khun Nueng, you can just say that it's not true.

I'm telling you the truth.

Don't you believe me?

Anueng and I, we are dating.

And we love each other very much.

- We have a relationship just like two women who love each other. - Enough. That's enough!

I give up.

You don't have to be so sarcastic.

Just tell me that you two are not together and I will believe you.

Why don't you believe me?

How can I believe what you said?

A person like you will never like a girl like Anueng.

(Anueng)

I miss Ar-Nueng so much.

I was supposed to watch a series with you tonight.

You mom just came back.

You should spend time with her.

But it's such a pity.

I was planning to play something with you tonight.

Nueng, is your mom around?

Be careful.

She's not here.

I wouldn't dare to call you like this if she were here.

I miss you.

I miss your soft cheeks too.

Don't do this.

Do what?

Why are you still doing it?

You're still talking to me so sweetly and using that voice with me.

Why?

Are you shy?

No.

Stop using that voice because it makes me want to hug you right now.

We will see each other in 2 weeks.

How about this?

Close your eyes.

And think that I'm right there.

I don't know what's going on. Everything seems so chaotic!

Your dad must be really suspicious of us.

That's why he wanted your mom to come back very quickly

But...

There's no proof about us yet.

So what?

I love Ar-Nueng no matter what.

It's not that easy.

Why do we have to make it so hard?

I want to make everything easy.

But in reality, it's not.

Your dad, your mom, and your grandma, they all trust me.

And if they know that

you and I...

If they know that we are...

Ar-Nueng, you have to promise me.

Promise me that you won't leave me.

Why would I leave you?

I don't know.

I'm afraid.

Why are you so quiet?

Ar-Nueng!

I won't leave you.

Why would I do that?

Don't be afraid.

There is a way out for everything.

Time's up for stressful moments.

Let's listen to the radio.

I don't have a radio.

We can use computers. People these days use computers now.

Oh, right, computers...

I don't want to listen to music.

Who said I would let you listen to music?

I will let you listen to my favorite station.

Nope.

I don't want to.

I told you I'm not into it.

You should listen to it when you feel stressed.

You'll learn that it's not just us who are facing problems. Others have them too.

But they can overcome it.

I won't listen.

Come on.

Ar-Nueng!

Okay, fine. I'll listen to it.

Oh, you don't read novels anymore?

Nope.

I got what I wanted already.

You're mine now.

So I quit reading.

You're so mischievous.

Alright, so what do you want me to listen to? Just turn it on.

How could you do this to my daughter?

I will let Anueng go live with Fah.

How could you do this to my daughter?

Now I know why you never accept my love.

In fact, you're just a gender deviant!

Chet!

You're such a liar!

You used the trust that Fah and I gave you to take care of Anueng.

And you tricked my daughter into doing something disgusting.

You're shameful!

I didn't trick her.

Anueng and I, we love each other.

So you admit it, huh?

We love each other.

What's wrong with that?

It is wrong! How can it not?

What's wrong with that?

Just say it!

What makes you think it's wrong?

You are a woman.

Two women can't love each other!

So it's about gender.

How can it not be possible?

Any gender can love one another.

Don't be so old-fashioned.

It's not just about gender.

You and my daughter are 16 years apart.

16 years!

So what?

It's not a problem for us.

We already talked about this.

You're unbelievable.

I understand that my daughter is still young.

But you, Ar-Nueng! You are so smart. You're perfect in every way. You are the eldest daughter of a noble family.

You're just...

You're unable to think.

My daughter is only 22 years old.

Her life has just begun.

But look at you!

In a few years, you will turn into an old granny!

Will you stop?

Don't you think that when you walk together, you're more like a mother and daughter than girlfriends?

Chet!

One day, when Nueng meets a man who's perfect for her, she will forget about you.

- And she will be annoyed that there's an old auntie being jealous around her. - Enough!

Stop talking.

And get out.

Get out!

Can't you hear me?

Leave my daughter alone.

Khun Nueng.

When did you get here?

I just got here.

I'm here to ask for your understanding.

Please have a seat.

You know everything, right?

Yes.

At first, I didn't want to believe it.

Because I thought you would know better than anyone what's right and wrong.

Is it true love?

Or is it just a feeling of guilt that you almost caused Anueng not to be born?

Do you think I'm an unreliable person?

You know me better than that.

Hearing this makes me uncomfortable to say it.

But I have to say it.

I'm not here to separate you from my daughter.

But I want you to return my daughter to her family.

Can you do that?

How?

I want Anueng to study abroad.

I want her to live with me for 2-3 years.

Let time prove whether everything will still be the same or not.

Can you do that?

You want your daughter to go live with you?

Yes.

To be honest, I want to say this as her mother.

I'm very shocked.

That my daughter is dating my own friend.

I'm sorry that everything turns out this way.

I'm her mother. I love my daughter even though I didn't raise her.

No mother would be happy to see her own daughter making a wrong decision.

What if, as time goes by, Anueng wants to date a girl?

If that's the case, I won't be against it anymore.

For you and Chet,

it can be anyone

but me, right?

That's right.

It can't be her father's ex-fiancée.

Or her mother's best friend.

And it can't be someone who Anueng's grandma trusts to be her role model.

Those are what you are, Khun Nueng.

I never thought that I would say this.

You don't deserve her.

Ar-Nueng.

Have a seat. I'll explain everything to you.

I talked to your mom.

She wants you to go and stay with her in the US.

What?

I won't go.

Nueng.

We all agreed that today we will talk like adults.

Can you listen

and be reasonable, like adults do?

Living abroad in the US is for your own good.

Staying away from me for 2-3 years might help you understand yourself more.

Why do I have to stay away from you?

For what?

Because...

Everyone here knows everything about us.

I won't go.

I won't go no matter what.

You can't do that.

You have to go and live with your mom.

You didn't even raise me. You have no right.

Nueng!

What about me?

Do I have the right?

Nueng, be reasonable.

We have to accept the truth.

This is my life.

This is my love.

It doesn't matter who doesn't understand.

Do you remember what I told you?

If you want everyone to accept our love, we can't run away from all the problems.

Everyone here...

They have reasons to disagree with us.

And I think they're right.

Ar-Nueng.

Your life is about to begin.

You still have a lot to see.

I want you to explore the world more.

So you will know that everything can change.

This again?

This reason again?

I understand.

I know everything.

I'm an adult now.

But what I understand the most

is my own feelings.

My heart will never change.

If you're so sure of that,

then prove it to everyone.

You will be away from me for only 2-3 years.

And if the day comes and we still love each other, then no one can do anything to us.

Do you really want me to go?

Is this really what you want?

Can you stand it?

Have you ever loved me?

All these times.

Is there anything real?

I don't know.

You don't know?

What does that mean?

It's actually good that you're going

so I can understand my own feelings.

You can think of it as giving me a chance.

I see.

So you're saying that you still don't know your own heart after all this time?

All these times we spent together

mean nothing to you?

You know what?

Right now, the person who should be by my side the most

is you, Ar-Nueng.

I'm very disappointed in you.

♫ Have you ever loved me? ♫

♫ Every day, when we're close ♫

♫ What's the meaning behind those eyes ♫

♫ Don't leave it like this ♫

♫ Please tell me that your heart feels the same way ♫

♫ If you love me, please tell me so I can be sure ♫

Just the thought of not being able to see you.

♫ If you love me ♫

I can’t live like that. ♫ If you love me ♫

I don't want to live.

I don't want to live anymore.

♫ please tell me so I can be sure ♫

Thank you for doing what we've asked.

Your reason is understandable.

I have one more thing to ask.

Please don't contact Anueng until she goes to the US with me.

That's not what we agreed on.

I know.

But if you continue to contact her, Anueng might change her mind.

My mom will have to confiscate her phone.

Isn't that too much?

I'll talk to my mom again.

No need.

I don't think she wants to talk to me anymore.

♫ How should it be? ♫

♫ I'm unsure if we can call this love ♫

♫ Countless times when you enter my life, so much happens between us ♫

♫ What lies between us? ♫

♫ All these good feelings ♫

♫ Is it right for me to feel this way? ♫

♫ What we have between us, I’m not sure if it’s wrong or not ♫

♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

♫ I don't know ♫

♫ What will become of us ♫

♫ Should I hold your hand or let you go? ♫

♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

♫ I don't want to shed tears ♫

♫ Since the day you entered my life, you've changed me into someone new ♫

♫ I know that someday, you have to go, right? ♫

♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

♫ I don't know ♫

♫ What will become of us ♫

♫ Should I hold your hand or let you go? ♫

♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

(I'm leaving tomorrow. I probably will never see you again. Goodbye)

What do you mean?

I mean what I say.

What do you mean by saying that you will never see me again?

I don't want to go with my mom.

Just the thought of not being able to see you.

I can't live like that.

I can't stand it.

I don't want to live anymore.

Nueng.

It's not a joke to say such a thing.

I'm completely broken.

Go with your mom.

When the time comes,

we will be together again.

You won't even try to stop me from leaving.

It's just me...

I'm the only one who keeps reminding you that I will always be by your side.

How can I believe in you?

How can I believe that when I come back, you will not change?

Grandma.

Khun Nueng, it seems like you understand everything.

But it looks like I was wrong.

Why do you have to make everything harder than it already is?

I'm just worried about Anueng.

She's leaving tomorrow.

That's enough, Khun Nueng.

You're an adult now.

Aren't you ashamed?

How would M.L. Khaekhai feel if she were still alive?

Oh.

I guess it doesn't matter.

Even if she were still around, you wouldn't feel anything, right?

My grandma has nothing to do with this.

I'm not a good person because of my own actions.

Alright.

I won't talk about anything else.

I just want one thing. Please leave my granddaughter alone.

I understand that you grew up without a father and a mother.

That's why you're like this.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm going to see you now.

Just the thought of not being able to see you.

I can't stand it.

I don't want to live anymore.

♫ I don't know ♫

♫ What will become of us ♫

♫ Should I hold your hand or let you go? ♫

♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

Nueng. ♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

I'm completely broken too. ♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

Anyone who wants to share your story, feel free to call us.

We will pick up the call after this break.

You're not alone in this sorrow. We're here to listen to you.

What is your story, Khun A?

It all began during that time.

Ar-Nueng.

There was a girl who followed me every day after class.

At first, I didn't think much of it.

I simply thought she was a customer who wanted me to draw for her.

But that girl often came to ask me to draw for her.

It was normal for me to look at her face while I was drawing her.

She enjoyed making funny faces at me.

And she told me that I secretly liked her.

It was ridiculous.

But she had very beautiful eyes.

When I looked into her eyes,

I felt like the world stopped spinning.

And she also had a very bright smile.

Perhaps it was her smile

and those eyes

that made her too adorable for me to push her away.

I found myself longing to be near her.

I didn't want her to disappear.

But she did disappear once.

I was unable to sleep that night.

I never felt like this with anyone.

But our love wasn't right.

Before I let go of her,

she asked me if I loved her.

It was a very easy question.

But I couldn't answer her.

You must be in a lot of pain, right?

Yes.

Actually, I know that I shouldn't have held her back.

Her life has just begun.

It's not fair to keep her to myself.

If she's listening right now, is there anything you want to tell her?

Nothing.

I have nothing to tell her.

If she's not listening,

do you want to say anything?

Khun A.

Why don't you try to be sincere with your own feelings?

Be honest with your heart.

Nueng.

I love you.

♫ I don't want to shed tears ♫

♫ Since the day you entered my life, you've changed me into someone new ♫

♫ I know that someday, you have to go, right? ♫

♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

♫ I don't know ♫

♫ What will become of us? ♫

Ar-Nueng, I heard everything. ♫ What will become of us? ♫

♫ What will become of us? ♫

♫ Should I hold your hand or let you go? ♫

I love you too. ♫ Should I hold your hand or let you go? ♫

♫ Should I hold your hand or let you go? ♫

♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

I'm not going anywhere. ♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

I'm going to see you now. ♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

♫ I just realize how much love can hurt ♫

♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

Taxi! ♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

♫ Should I put an end to everything right now? ♫

Taxi!

Nueng!

Nueng, can you hear me?

Nueng!

Nueng!

Nueng, answer me!

You wanted my daughter to come see you.

She got hit by a car because of you!

How could you do that?

I don't know whether Anueng ever felt true happiness in her life or not.
