Let’s celebrate our On-the-Rise Company of the Year Award!

Where’s the boss?

The boss? Over there.

I’m here!

I'm so hot. Are you hot?

- Woo! - Of course.

I’m even more effervescent than this soda!

May.

May!

What are you doing on the table? Come down. You'll fall.

Come on, Pat.

Aren’t you feeling unwell? You said you were going home early.

I’ll leave soon.

You should go. Don’t worry.

Leave with me now.

It’s late.

And the air’s bad. You’ll get sick again. Let's go.

What? Fine, I’ll go.

Let me take you home.

No, I’ll go by myself.

Seriously, Pat...

I’m not drunk. I haven't had a drop.

I’m just enjoying hanging out with everyone.

You should head home. I’ll go by myself.

Pass me my purse.

Drink as much as you want, I’ve already paid.

Get home safe, May.

May.

Check the traffic light, will you?

Go get your driver’s license already.

May.

May, open the door.

May.

Are you okay? Did you hit your head?

Did you just black out?

I’m fine, Pat.

You’re not drunk, are you?

Then why did you almost run a red light?

Should I call an ambulance?

Can you not make a big deal of it?

It was just a small accident.

Why are you freaking out so much?

Of course I’m freaking out. I’m worried about you.

The doctor told you to rest, but you wouldn’t.

You stayed up all night working and then went out partying.

How could I not be worried?

Pat, I’ve always lived like this. You never had a problem with it.

So why is it a problem today?

Because I care about you.

No, Pat.

We’re just too different.

You know that, don’t you?

Admit the truth. Stop forcing it.

Let’s break up.

Calm down, May.

Pat.

This way, you won’t have to drag me away from my staff like just now.

May, I'm sorry.

I know you’re only saying this because you’re mad.

I'm sorry.

- No, Pat. - I...

We're just not compatible.

May.

I won’t say anything again.

I just have one request.

You work too hard, please take care of yourself.

The doctor warned you about your health. You need to rest more.

Please, I’m really worried about you.

May.

Think about it carefully.

I love you, May.

Please calm down.

I really care about you.

I want to take better care of you.

May.

Marry me.

If you don’t answer, I’ll take that as a yes.

Move in with me tomorrow

so I can take care of you.

I love you.

I promise

I’ll take good care of you.

Aoy and Chod, I’ve known Pat since we were in college.

We’re very different.

No one ever thought we’d work out.

I’m "Sexy May" to my friends,

and Pat is a serious man.

(Three Years Ago)

May.

May.

May.

I'll be right back. May.

Pat has always been such a good man since the day I met him.

Not once has he ever treated me badly.

Pat.

Put me down, I’m fine.

I’m fine, you can let me go now.

Are you sure?

You seemed tired earlier.

I'm sure.

I’m just a little dizzy because I didn’t get enough sleep.

I had to work at the shooting set last night.

You slept late, didn’t you?

No, I slept in the morning.

You seem to enjoy doing stuff like this.

You used to pull all-nighters all the time.

Of course.

I only live once, I have to live it to the fullest.

I don’t want to go to bed at 8 p.m. like you, that’s too boring.

I’m just worried about you.

Thank you

for always caring about me, no matter what.

I’ll feel better after I go wash my face.

May.

I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again after this graduation party.

I’m sure you know how I’ve felt about you

all this time.

I like you.

If you’re not seeing anyone,

would you give me a chance?

Sure.

Why don’t we give it a shot?

I...

Are you serious?

Yes.

I was waiting to see

when you’d have the courage to bring this up.

I guess

you’ve had plenty to drink tonight.

So I decided to date him for one reason.

He’s always been good to me.

Please wait.

Are you tired? Do you want to rest?

We’d like to take a break.

- Of course. - Thanks.

You’ve been busy, right?

It’s a good thing you let me handle the wedding.

Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.

I just want you to get more rest

so that you'll look beautiful at the wedding.

I need to make a call about the invitations.

Even though Pat is great and loves me a lot,

I don’t know why,

the closer the wedding gets,

the more unsure I feel.

Here's your water.

Thank you.

The photographer will be back soon.

Surprise.

The place looks great, Kit.

People will enjoy this vibe because they’re not just coming to drink,

they’re coming for the experience

and to find somewhere nice to take photos for social media.

You need some colorful signature drinks for people to show off,

or maybe a live band, I think that would be nice.

I definitely chose the right person to consult.

You’re a Comm Arts girl with a real knack for marketing.

No way. I’m just speaking from all my experience partying.

I don’t have a knack for marketing at all.

I’m just a normal customer.

But still, I really did pick the right person to consult.

You know,

I think

you and I have a lot in common.

If we put our heads together

and start a business together,

it could turn out really well.

Besides, I know

how you feel

about me.

You’re beautiful, brilliant,

and smart.

I like you, May.

Kit.

I...

I have a boyfriend.

You do?

Who’s your boyfriend?

I just agreed to date Pat.

Pat?

You're dating Pat?

I can’t believe plain-old Pat

is dating a hot girl like Sexy May.

He’s really good to me,

so I wanted to give him a chance.

- I see. - Well...

But if you want my advice on your bar,

I’m willing to help.

Thank you.

I’ll get going then.

Okay.

How are you, my beautiful girl?

Kit.

You’re back, long time no see.

I came back to Thailand not long ago.

My partner wanted to take a break,

so I’ll be managing it.

I saw it on my social media feed

that you're doing your pre-wedding shoot here, so I wanted to say hi.

And congratulations.

Thank you. I didn’t think you’d be back.

I’d like to invite you to our wedding.

I’ll send you an invitation once they're ready.

Sure. Where’s Pat?

He’s on the phone.

I see.

I never thought I’d see Sexy May in a wedding dress.

You look gorgeous.

You’re exaggerating, Kit.

When will I get to go to your wedding?

Probably not anytime soon. I’m single.

I just broke up with my girlfriend.

- I see. - I have to go, so I won’t see Pat.

Tell him I said hi. See you then.

Sure.

What a great year for you.

Your advertising agency just won that On-the-Rise Award,

and you're getting married.

Lucky in game, lucky in love.

Congratulations again.

Let me give you a hug. I’ve missed you.

Congratulations, my beautiful sister.

Thank you.

See you.

(Kit)

Yes, Kit?

Am I bothering you?

I can talk.

I wanted to ask you to help promote my bar.

I’m not sure if you’re available.

Really?

I’m happy to help you.

You can drop by my office anytime.

Let’s go somewhere comfortable,

like my bar.

Is that okay with you?

Well...

I like you, May.

We can decide on the location later.

Thank you for picking up my call so late.

Good night.

Bye.

May.

- May. - Yes?

Hey.

Is everything okay? You don’t usually lock the door.

I probably locked it by accident.

I just finished my work,

so I wanted to help my bride-to-be

choose the pre-wedding photos.

I can’t let you do that alone.

Okay.

Come sit with me.

When we were taking these photos

and I saw you in a wedding dress,

I was so happy.

It made me realize I made the right decision

when I asked you to date me at the graduation party.

I made the right decision.

I love you.

Which photos do you like?

This one’s cute.

I agree.

I really picked the right person to consult again.

You gave great advice on my bar’s promotion plan.

I’m not surprised at all that your company

won the On-the-Rise Award in just three years.

You’re amazing.

Thank you, Kit.

Today,

you look so pretty.

Do you always dress up this nicely to meet your clients?

Of course.

They wouldn't call me Sexy May

if I didn't look this hot.

You're right.

I’m so jealous of Pat.

He’s one lucky guy

to have a beautiful lady like you.

Your wedding is coming up. I wish you both happiness.

If I were Pat, I’d be so worried,

having such a fabulous girlfriend

who’s so different from him,

who’s so plain.

Sorry, I’m probably saying too much because I’ve had a few drinks.

It’s okay. You’re right.

When I’m with Pat,

I feel like we’re so different.

I...

Here.

This is our invitation.

I’d like to officially invite you.

Okay.

Congratulations again.

You probably have so much on your mind.

You’ve given me advice so many times.

If you ever want to talk to me, I’m happy to listen.

Thank you.

Well...

I'll get going then.

Get home safely.

Yes, Pat?

I thought you said you wouldn’t be home late.

I’m on my way home.

Are you drunk?

Can you drive?

Do you want me to pick you up?

It’s okay, Pat. Don’t worry. See you at home.

May.

May.

May.

May.

May, get up slowly.

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

Call the ambulance.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Are you okay?

It’s a good thing you weren’t badly injured.

How did you fall down the stairs?

I was probably walking too quickly.

Why?

Because you were afraid of Pat?

I usually see men afraid of their girlfriends,

but you’re afraid of a man like Pat?

I don’t want him to worry too much,

so I just wanted to get home quickly.

I understand him.

Lately, I’ve been working late for several days in a row,

until I fainted from exhaustion.

But sometimes,

his worry makes me uncomfortable.

I have a lot of work to do,

and sometimes I get home late because I have to attend parties.

It’s necessary because I have to socialize for work.

I tried to explain it to him,

but it feels like he just doesn’t get it.

But I do.

Like I’ve told you before, we have a lot in common.

We understand each other without having to explain.

I think Pat actually understands.

He just worries about you too much.

I think he’ll be here soon.

Do you mind leaving?

I didn’t tell him I was out with you, I’m sorry.

It’s okay, I get it.

Get well soon.

Excuse me, which room is Maysa Warakul in?

Please wait here.

- Hello, Pat. - May.

Which room are you in?

- I’m in 302. - How many times have I told you...

Where is room 302?

Go this way.

Thank you.

How many times must I repeat myself?

This is because you’re a workaholic and your body can’t handle it.

It’s nothing, Pat.

I was hurrying home to see you, that’s why I got hurt.

I’ve already explained my work to you.

I understand.

Is receiving the On-the-Rise Award worth it? It isn’t.

We’re talking about your health here.

That means you don’t understand my work at all.

I’ve explained it to you so many times.

This is how I work.

It’s never been a problem before, so why is it a problem now?

I understand, but do you understand me?

I’m just worried about you, that’s all.

Do you understand me at all?

I understand that you’re worried,

but the way you’re acting makes me really uncomfortable.

We’re just too different, Pat.

After living together, I realized we don’t get along.

You live a daytime life, I live a nighttime life.

This is who I am. I can’t change it because it’s my work.

If we keep living like this,

you’ll be exhausted because of me, and I’m not okay with that.

I think

we should live separately.

- I’ll go back home and you... - May.

May, calm down.

No.

Why live separately?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable.

I’m so sorry. Please don’t go anywhere.

I...

I promise I’ll try to understand your work.

You have to understand me too, I’m just worried about you.

That’s it. I’m worried about you.

I'm serious.

Please calm down.

May.

Walk slowly.

Does it hurt?

I'm much better now.

But it hurts a little.

Slowly.

You need to rest a lot.

I still have so much work to do.

May.

I understand that you’re worried about work,

but you should worry about yourself too.

Can you ask someone else to handle it for now?

If not, go talk to the clients.

I’m sure they’ll understand, it’s beyond your control.

Right now, you need to rest.

Sleep and eat more, so you’ll heal faster.

Once you’ve recovered, you can go back to work.

Let me know you're hungry, I’ll get you something to eat.

Pat.

Honestly, aren’t you tired of me being like this?

Not at all.

You know how much I love you.

I’ll get you something to eat.

I'm back.

Thank you.

Eat something so you can take your medicine and rest.

I don’t feel like eating.

Fine, you don’t have to eat now.

Do you want to rest?

Okay.

Be careful.

- Let me know if it hurts. - Okay.

Does it hurt?

Okay.

Here you go.

It's still swollen.

Does it hurt?

Thank you.

Like I said,

I’ll take care of you.

I love you.

Aoy and Chod.

He’s so good to me it makes me feel guilty.

If I choose to leave someone who loves me,

I'd feel sorry for him,

and I’d regret it too.

Did you send the first draft to the client?

Please update me.

Okay.

- Hello, Pat? - Are you free this evening?

I want to take you out for dinner.

We haven’t eaten out in a while.

I got my paycheck today. It’s on me.

Tell me what you want to eat.

I’m busy today.

Maybe next time?

Really?

Sure, it's fine.

We can go next time. You can just work today.

Pat.

Would it be okay

if we go at 8 or 9 p.m. today?

Of course.

That’s fine with me. I’ll wait for you.

There’s no need to rush. Take your time.

Okay, I’ll call you after work.

Sure, I’ll hang up now.

Good luck.

Nicky, did the client give us any feedback?

Tomorrow?

Okay, then we don’t have to stay and make any edits.

Thank you.

Is receiving

the On-the-Rise Award worth sacrificing your health?

It's not worth it at all.

Surprise.

Kit.

This is why I like surprising you.

You look so funny when you’re surprised.

Congratulations.

I’d like to officially congratulate you on your award.

Thank you so much.

I got you this too.

I think you’ll like this more than the bouquet.

Thank you.

Wow, your office looks amazing.

Not just anyone can do this.

Besides being skilled, you have to be dedicated

to build your own company

and win this On-the-Rise Award within three years.

I can see

how much this award means to you.

Thank you so much.

Are you free?

I want to consult you about my bar’s promotion plan.

Sure, I’m done for today.

Would you like to have a drink while we talk? I’m fine with it.

Well...

I usually don’t let my staff drink at the office,

but rules are meant to be broken.

Don’t be too serious about it.

Wait, you have wine glasses in your office?

I was joking earlier.

But I’m serious.

My staff will leave soon.

We can have a few drinks. It should be fine.

How long has it been since we had such a fun talk?

Ever since you moved abroad.

No.

Ever since

you started dating Pat.

(Pat)

Excuse me.

Pat.

I’m sorry. I was busy at work and I forgot we had a date.

I knew you’d forget our dinner date.

You probably forgot to eat too.

I came by to drop off some food.

Where are you?

I’m in front of your office.

What?

May.

May.

Kit, do you mind waiting here?

If Pat sees you, we’ll have a problem.

May.

- Pat. - May.

I’m sorry I didn’t tell you

I wasn’t free anymore.

Wait.

Were you drinking?

Well...

I had a drink with the team.

You just fell down the stairs and the doctor said no drinking.

Why did you do that?

I think you might be an alcoholic.

May, you're at the office.

You drink at parties, and now you’re drinking here. I’m not okay with it.

Pat.

Let some things be my business.

How could you say that?

I’m just worried about you.

Pat, I'm fine.

This is my office.

If you don’t support or understand what I do,

then at least let me do what I want.

It's not like that.

It’s not that I don’t support you. I’m just worried.

Leave me alone.

Do you realize

you’re making me more and more uncomfortable, Pat?

Give me some space to breathe.

Leave. If you don’t leave, I’ll never speak to you again.

I'm sorry

for making you uncomfortable.

I'll leave.

Here's your food.

I'm worried about you.

I’m sorry for making you wait so long.

I waited for him to get in the car and actually leave.

It's fine.

I understand.

Did you get into a fight with him

because of me?

No, Kit.

I don’t know what’s gotten into him. He always makes me uncomfortable.

I think we should call it a night.

No.

You’re uncomfortable and got into a fight with him

because you’re the only one adjusting.

I heard him say he’s worried about you,

but I don’t see him adjusting to you.

Why don’t you ignore him tonight?

Be yourself.

Just care about yourself.

Let him be the one to adjust to you.

Come with me.

Don’t worry about anything. Forget everything.

Because this is your life, May.

(Pat)

Nop, you don't need to worry about me when it comes to money.

I found someone to help me.

This one,

I won't let slip.

- Hello, Pat. - Hello.

My girlfriend has been very busy,

so I asked you to help out.

Have you seen her?

Not yet.

Okay.

Thank you.

- Go ahead. - Excuse me.

May.

Where were you all night? You didn’t answer my calls. What happened?

I...

I spent the night at a subordinate's place.

I left my phone at the office.

May.

I'm really sorry for making you uncomfortable.

I promise I will do better.

Pat.

Can we postpone

our wedding?

Don’t stay with someone just because they're good to you.

What are you doing here?

I’m applying for a job at your company.

It’s nice to have Pat help out.

I'm glad we're partners.

Likewise.

Just like this.

Apply the cream here.

It hurts.

Just like that.

How did you get the name Sexy May?

Just May.

Yes.

I need some soda.

Don't go far.

Stay right here.
