[Previously] Whoa!

Hey, you're in the same class as me.

I'm Tao.

Tulip.

Nice place. Not far from campus at all.

You walked all the way here just to walk me home?

- Don't leave just yet. - Hey!

- Hey! Move your car! - What the hell?

You bastard!

Seriously, thanks for earlier.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Why don't you move with me?

This apartment is big anyway. Just stay here.

- Hey. - Yeah.

Wanna use some of my makeup?

Nah.

Go ahead, I've got plenty. Let's share.

Nah.

Well, if you ever want to, just take it.

No.

You're such a weird one.

Anyone else would've rushed to pick something already.

But I'm not anyone else.

Come on, let me put lipstick on you.

- What? No. - This shade's pretty. Let me try it on you.

Come here.

Here.

Press your lips together.

See?

Pretty! I'll give you this one.

I'll buy my own. Thank you.

Why buy it? I told you I have tons. Take it.

Oh my god!

What's up?

My dad.

He disappeared. Hasn't even called once.

Guess this time, I'm really cut off for good.

Hey.

It's not that bad.

But even if it is, it's fine.

You've got me, okay?

I know.

[Call]

[Tulip]

Tea and snacks.

Have you been able to reach our daughter?

I can't get through to her at all.

I found this in the car.

And?

If you can't be a good husband,

at least be a good father.

Can you stop thinking you're the only one who's tired?

I'm tired too, coming home to a wife who can't even be a wife, let alone a mother.

You think I want our family to be like this?

You know damn well how much I've done for you.

And I haven't done anything for this family?

You're a doctor with a reputation, and so am I.

Do you really want everyone to know we have problems?

Look.

Don't think of it as you're doing me a favor.

You're doing this family a favor.

Go deal with our daughter.

Tulip!

Thanks for coming.

No problem, it's nothing.

You know, it was so hard to find someone for this role.

I'm saved now that I have you.

Honestly, I didn't even want you to audition.

I just wanted you to automatically get the role.

I still have to audition?

Yeah, the seniors got a budget from the professor.

They're making a short film to submit to a contest.

So they had to hold formal auditions.

But don't worry, I looked at the script.

You're perfect for it. You'll get it for sure.

Okay.

Whoa, that's a huge project.

You up for it?

Don't worry. This one's got a budget.

You won't be working for free.

Money's not what I'm worried about.

But it sounds fun. I wanna give it a try.

Okay, then let's head in. Everyone's waiting.

Let's go.

These past three years,

you and I both tried to fight the love between us.

You've always known Day couldn't forget Min.

Now I believe

that every couple has a red thread tied around their pinkies.

Whoa, Tulip is so good!

No matter how many obstacles there are,

the power of the red thread helps lovers overcome them in the end.

Okay, cut!

Thought it'd be easy like on TV,

but damn, it's tough as hell.

You like doing stuff like this?

I think I kinda like it, actually.

I even auditioned for a commercial once.

God, that's so lame.

What? Why'd you say that?

Dunno.

I actually got it, you know.

But Mom said I should focus on school first.

Oh.

So your mom doesn't mind now?

Not anymore. I'm grown now.

We agreed that once I got into college,

I could do what I actually like.

Just keep my grades up, that's all.

Hey, Tulip!

Where have you been?

I've been looking for you.

At the comm arts faculty. What's up?

Oh, I was just gonna ask if you wanted to grab a bite.

Sure, let's go.

We were just about to eat anyway.

Let's go, come on. I'll carry your bag.

Thanks.

Go ahead.

What? You ditching me?

I gotta take Mom to the doctor.

Oh, come on.

Ditching me again.

Just go eat, you two. I'll see you in the dorm.

- See you. - Yeah.

Hey.

How's your mom doing?

She's okay. Same as usual.

I got you porridge in case you're hungry.

Thanks, Mom.

You take better care of me than my own mom.

You wanna eat now?

Sure.

Need help?

Nah, I got it.

- Hey. - Yeah.

- Can I ask you something? - Yeah.

You and Tao...

You two got something going on?

What? No, nothing like that.

It's just...

You go quiet whenever he's around.

Oh.

I just don't feel like talking to him.

He talks nonstop. I can't keep up.

True.

But it's not like you don't like him, right?

Nah, I'm neutral.

Do you like him?

You totally like him, don't you?

I don't know.

I just don't wanna mess things up with you.

You're not. I don't like him.

- You sure? - Yeah, really.

But if you wanna talk to him, go for it.

He seems like a decent guy.

He's smart, too. A scholarship student.

Yeah.

Feel better now that I said that?

Yeah.

Okay, but if it gets serious,

I'll take you to get birth control myself.

What the hell are you saying?

Or just ask him his size. I'll take you to buy condoms.

Geez, I think I can handle that myself.

Hey, just helping out.

You're not just a friend anymore.

You're like the sister I always wanted.

That deep?

Yeah.

Then call me "P'Baikhaw."

Yes, P'Baikhaw.

Ugh, gross.

Tao, off to school already?

Come have some porridge first.

Come on, have a little, dear.

Okay, fine. I just wanted to beat the traffic.

Just eat first.

- Sure. - Sit down.

Busy with school lately?

You haven't been home much.

I've been studying with friends at their dorms,

so I might as well stay there.

Do what you want.

Just don't lose that scholarship.

I know, Dad.

Dear, trust him a little, will you?

Don't mind your dad's nagging.

I trust you, Tao.

Oh! Your aunt asked if you tutor.

She wanted her daughter to get a scholarship too.

See?

Everyone wants to be like you.

All scholarship kids got bright futures ahead of them.

I'm done, Mom, Dad.

I'm heading out.

- That's all you're eating? - See you.

Yeah, I'm full.

See you.

Hey, Namo!

Damn you, Tao!

Where are Baikhaw and Tulip?

Haven't seen them yet.

I've got a study session with Tulip. Come with us?

Nah, you go ahead.

Are you mad at me or something?

No, I'm not.

Wait... you like Tulip or what?

Why?

'Cause I'm thinking of asking her out.

Then go ahead.

Glad you're not bothered by it.

Just one thing.

What?

You sure you actually like her?

I really do.

Then you'd better mean it.

Hey, where are you going?

Namo!

Tulip.

Tulip.

You...

Mom!

- Why didn't you tell me you were coming? - This...

Oh, this is my friend Baikhaw.

I'm her roommate.

Since when did you get a roommate?

Why didn't I know?

It's been a while, Mom.

Have you known each other long?

Well, since the start of the semester.

So, not that long then.

And you trust her?

Of course I do.

She's the only one I really trust.

With Baikhaw here, I'm not lonely.

If you say so, I'll believe you.

It's probably for the best.

Having someone with you makes it safer.

Yeah.

So, this Saturday, can you come home and stay the night?

I'll cook something nice for you.

- This Saturday? - Yeah.

I'm not sure. I might have too much work.

Tulip.

You haven't been home in ages.

Your dad misses you.

He's been trying to call every day.

He can't reach you.

And you actually believe him?

I think he's just too ashamed.

Too afraid to call me.

Ashamed of what?

Well...

The day I came home,

I saw dad with your secretary.

So you saw it.

You knew?

How are you okay with that?

I'm not okay with it.

But there's nothing I can do.

It makes him happy.

He's always stressed from work...

His happiness is cheating on you and screwing around?

What about our happiness?

Tulip.

- Don't talk about your father like that. - Why not?

I don't get what's going through your mind.

How can you stand by him?

How can you make it seem normal?

Because protecting our family matters more.

You call this protecting the family?

You're just protecting him.

Tulip.

Let's talk about this at home.

I'm not going.

Dad said it himself. He only stayed for me.

But now I'm gone.

So he can screw whoever he wants.

I don't care anymore.

Tulip!

Please, just go.

I see you like this,

and it hurts worse than finding out about Dad.

Tulip.

I'm sorry, Mom.

But I'm not ready to talk yet.

Namo!

Where'd you go?

Just got lost in thought.

I noticed back in the lab.

You didn't finish your work today, right?

Something wrong?

Well...

I just had a fight with my mom.

So I can't really focus right now.

But I'll be fine soon.

Was it bad?

Yeah, pretty bad.

I feel guilty and awful.

But what's worse is... this.

No matter how much I read, it won't stick.

Then... how about this?

I'll tutor you.

I've already finished reading.

Whoa.

You're so nice.

You're like the ultimate friend.

- Thanks. - No problem.

Hey, Tulip!

Why didn't you ask me to join you?

Sit there.

I thought you had class after this.

Nope. Wait, what are you reading?

Oh!

That quiz next week, right?

- Yeah. - Want me to help you study?

You finished reading already?

Well, just once.

But if I tutor you, it will help me review it too.

I see.

So you're not confident, huh?

I've read it three times already.

Last class, you were asleep, remember?

Still, I think I'll be fine.

"You think"?

That means you're not sure.

Then tomorrow you can tutor me, Tao.

I should head to class now.

I'll go with you.

Hey, Ultimate Friend, put this away for us.

Let's go.

Tulip.

Wawwa.

I was just about to message you.

Hey.

The audition results for that short film you auditioned for...

they're out.

So? How'd it go?

You didn't get the part.

- Sorry. - Oh, that's fine.

I just did it for fun.

There's something I have to tell you.

Do you know who did get it?

Who?

[I have to go see my mom today]

- Baikhaw. - Yes.

Wait a sec. The crew's not all here yet.

- We'll go over shooting schedules. - Okay.

I'm surprised you came to audition.

Last time you didn't seem interested.

Now I believe

that every couple has a red thread tied around their pinkies.

It ties two hearts together.

I just changed my mind.

It seemed fun.

Baikhaw? Seriously?

This doesn't seem like her thing at all.

I know, right?

But listen. I'm not trying to badmouth your friend.

But don't you think it's weird?

Weird how?

So, the other day, I came to watch you audition.

I just wondered how you know who fits a role.

Mainly by acting skill, of course.

Oh.

But if...

Someone's never acted before...

Does that mean they can't do it...

if it's a tough role?

There's a first time for everyone.

These things...

can be taught, you know.

And you think...

someone like me...

could be taught?

And another thing.

Remember that guy Q?

That leaked clip of him with some girl in a car?

Yeah, why?

That night, someone saw that the girl was Baikhaw.

What?

No way.

That night, she told me she was taking care of her mom.

She even asked me to cover her lab work.

Come on, you sure you can trust her?

Of course! Why would she lie to me?

And besides, she doesn't even like Q.

Tulip, you just met her.

How do you know you can trust her?

Also, are you sure she didn't dump you with that lab work

because she was with Q?

I'm back.

How's your mom doing?

She's okay.

What's her illness, if I may ask?

I just knew she was sick but never what it was.

Chronic kidney disease.

I take her for dialysis all the time.

Why do you ask?

Nothing, just wondering. Maybe I could help.

You've done enough already. I don't know how to repay you.

I'm gonna take a shower.

All done?

Yeah.

Hungry? Wanna order something?

I knew you'd be hungry. I bought you porridge.

You know me too well.

I'll go eat first.

Tao!

You scared me.

What's up? You look spaced out. Something bothering you?

Just got something on my mind.

Hey, Tao.

Have you ever visited Baikhaw's mom?

Nope. Why?

I'm just a bit worried about her mom.

Lately, she's been coming back home late.

You lonely? Call me anytime.

I'll take you out.

I'm not lonely.

But honestly,

I'm kinda curious about something.

What is it?

Well, I just found out Baikhaw auditioned for the same role as me.

And she got the part.

But I'm not fussed or anything.

It's just...

Why'd she have to keep it a secret from me?

She probably just did it for fun, and didn't expect to get it.

Maybe she didn't think she needed to tell you.

But there's something else.

One night, she told me she had to take care of her mom suddenly.

So she asked me to cover her lab work.

But someone said they saw her with Q that night.

It's just kinda weird.

- Q? Really? - Yeah.

Sounds like people are just gossiping.

Baikhaw wouldn't do that, Tulip.

I'm not sure either, but it was Wawwa who told me.

She's got no reason to lie.

And did Wawwa see it herself?

No, she heard it from someone else.

- Still weird though, right? - That's what I mean.

I don't know if you can trust Wawwa.

But I trust Baikhaw.

If you really want to know the truth,

you should ask Baikhaw directly.

Listening to people's gossips isn't really good for you.

Yeah, you're right.

I'll ask Baikhaw myself.

Don't overthink it.

Come on, there's a quiz soon.

Wait, there's this too?

Yeah.

Looks delicious. Careful!

- Let's see. - My own soup recipe.

Ouch!

- Hot! - Okay.

It's good though! Really good.

If you like it, I'll cook for you again.

Hey, that short film I auditioned for...

- The results came out. - Really?

Yeah.

I didn't make it.

What?

How come?

They picked someone else.

You know who?

Who?

You.

Why didn't you tell me you auditioned?

Hello?

Hi Tulip, I'm the director of the short film you auditioned for the other day.

Yes?

I just wanted to apologize.

The clip from your audition got corrupted.

We couldn't open it.

Could you come re-audition for me?

But didn't you already give that role to Baikhaw?

That must be a misunderstanding.

I asked her for a different role, not the one you auditioned for.

Oh, really?

He called and explained.

Hey, if you're not okay with it, I can drop out.

No, I'm fine.

I just wondered.

Why didn't you tell me?

No, I didn't mean to hide it.

I wasn't trying to keep it secret or anything, but...

I just wanted to try it.

You said it was fun. I wanted to try it out.

The reason I didn't tell you was...

I wanted to surprise you.

Thought we could do something fun together.

I'm sorry. I may be the only one who thinks this is fun.

No, no, don't. You don't need to apologize.

I should be the one apologizing.

I'm sorry.

I know you.

I shouldn't have listened to anyone else.

Who told you?

Wawwa told me.

But I think she just heard it wrong too.

What else did she say?

She told me

that night you said you were with your mom...

someone saw you with Q.

And you believed that?

I didn't believe it.

That's why I came to ask.

Seriously, don't you ever doubt what she says?

Why?

Remember when she invited you out?

She left you alone with Q and almost got in trouble.

She didn't even apologize.

Now she's trying to pit us against each other. It's weird.

Honestly? I don't think she's a good friend.

What are you trying to say?

I'm just saying. She's your friend, not mine.

You decide for yourself

whether what that bitch says can be trusted.

Hey!

Hey!

Okay, I'll wait in the staff room.

Whoever finishes last, come and get me to lock up.

Alright.

Hey, Wawwa, are you done yet?

Not yet.

Then I'm heading out.

Got a date with my man.

Sure, go.

I'll just stand here developing film alone like an idiot.

Bye, idiot.

Bye! Can't get out of here fast enough, huh?

[Where are you? Want to walk back together?]

Tulip, you're still here.

- Yeah. - The library's about to close.

I'm waiting for Baikhaw.

Don't know where she went. She won't answer her phone.

She probably went home a while ago.

Didn't even show up for the evening class.

- Really? - Yeah.

Where could she be?

I'll walk you to your condo.

Okay.

Tulip, Professor Ice wants to see you.

Where's Khemika?

Is something wrong, Professor?

I couldn't reach her.

Thipayamas,

someone said you did a classmate's lab for money.

Is that true?

No, that's not true.

What about Khemika's lab?

Did you do it for her?

No, I didn't.

Once we're able to reach Khemika,

I'll have her answer a few questions to see if you're lying.

And if I catch you lying, you both will lose all your marks.

[Baikhaw]

Come on, pick up.

Namo, where's Tulip?

Inside.

Why aren't you going in?

I...

What is it, Kongphop?

Hello, Professor.

I was the one who did Khemika's lab.

Her mom's sick, so she had to take her to the hospital.

I felt bad, so I volunteered to do it for her.

Sorry, Professor.

You're sure about that, Kongphop?

I'm sure.

I'm a scholarship student.

If I hadn't done it,

I wouldn't lie and risk losing my scholarship.

Why'd you tell the professor that?

Hey, don't worry.

You should just go rest.

How can I not worry?

You lost points even though you did nothing wrong.

Honestly, I thought I'd lose more.

At least the professor understood.

Don't worry. I'll make it up by midterms.

It's me you're talking to.

You didn't have to go that far.

For you.

Nothing's too far.

Whatever I can do for you,

I'll do it without hesitation.

The reason I did it is because I don't want to see you so stressed.

Hello, Wawwa?

Huh?

Wawwa?

Tulip.

Wawwa, are you okay?

Are you hurt? Who did this to you?

I don't know. It was dark.

I couldn't see anything.

Calm down. I'll take you to the police.

Can you remember anything?

I... I can't remember anything.

But when I fought back,

I splashed chemical fluid on his inner leg.

His inner leg?

Yeah. He's probably burned.

How bad was the burn you mentioned?

It wasn't too bad. I just threw it randomly.

But I think it left red marks.

Just red marks?

Yeah, maybe a few blisters.

It's okay. Calm down.

It was so scary.

You're back.

I was so worried. I couldn't reach you.

Yeah, my phone died.

Where were you?

Are you my friend or my mom?

I'm just worried.

I went to the hospital with my mom.

She had an appointment.

I left early before traffic got bad.

You just got back?

Yeah, I took Wawwa to the police station.

Oh? Why?

She was assaulted at school.

What? Is she okay?

She's hurt.

It was pretty bad.

But she's mostly traumatized.

We'll check the CCTV tomorrow.

That's terrifying.

Go shower first.

I'll tell you everything after.

Sure.

Shit!

Let me help.

Ouch!

What happened to you?

I spilled some chemicals at home.

What happened to you?

I spilled some chemicals at home.

You better watch your back.

Your current BFF is a snake.

I don't want to wait anymore.

Tulip, will you go out with me?

Have you seen Tulip? She's in danger!

I'll help you look for her.

You know about it already, don't you?
