[Previously…]

We usually leave girls alone.

But when it comes to the Monchaitrakuls,

no one's getting spared. Not even women or children.

Someone actually died

because of the feud between our two families,

Uncle Wirat, Pakkard's father.

You have to cut ties with that family.

I understand if you don't want to be with me.

They made this mess. Let them deal with it.

If I’d gotten there in time that day,

your father might still be alive.

Did you know beforehand

that something was going to happen?

I know those people well.

They may act generous toward the villagers,

but they’ve always played dirty.

But we don’t have any proof.

I think some things should be left in the past.

Then leave this matter to the adults.

ANNA SIRIN KONGPURIM

Mom would be so happy if she could see this.

You know

how much she loved white roses, don’t you?

How would she know, Dad?

She’s never even seen Mom’s face in person.

But she looks exactly like Mom.

All she has to do is look in the mirror.

Isn’t that right, sweetheart?

The saddest day of my life

was the day I couldn’t protect your mother

when the accident happened.

I won’t let anything like that happen again.

As long as I can keep an eye on you,

I won’t have anything to worry about.

Tokyo.

You’re not involved with that family’s daughter, are you?

What do you mean, Dad?

Exactly what I said.

Seeing her, talking to her,

or being friends with her.

You’re not doing any of that, are you?

We’re just in the same class. That’s all.

I don’t want to have to watch my back around outsiders

and then be suspicious of my own family too.

If you promise me,

I’ll trust you.

I promise.

I won’t let you down, Dad.

Boss.

The situation at our port still hasn’t settled down.

The other night,

people were still sneaking in and causing trouble.

And that’s not even counting those spreading rumors

to frighten the villagers.

The community leaders have been resigning one after another.

What should we do, Boss?

Throw money at the problem for now.

Whatever they want, pay them.

Right now, we need as many villagers on our side as possible.

Yes, Boss.

And what about Blue?

I’m not letting that matter go.

Dude, is that a real kiss or just the camera angle?

Why are you zooming in so much?

Zooming in won’t change anything.

I told you, I saw it with my own eyes.

What do we do? Should we tell Yi?

Damn it.

Why the hell did they have to get together?

Don’t their families hate each other?

What, are they trying to be Romeo and Juliet?

So what are we doing? Are we telling Yi or not?

How the hell should I know?

Here.

And this pile too.

Put them in the right shelves, okay?

My dad’s getting suspicious.

We’ll have to be more careful for a while.

Okay.

- I should go. - Okay.

Come on. Let’s go.

Chanthara Suksa has sent us

its list of representatives for this year’s friendship event.

As for Chantrarawatthana,

I’ve put Tokyo’s name down, Principal.

How much did he contribute last year?

They provided a budget of two million baht.

Then let’s ask for a little more this year.

Tokyo is already in Grade 12.

If the event isn’t grand enough to live up to the Kongpurim name,

I don’t think that would look good.

Can Mr. Po still afford it, Principal?

He’s been strapped for cash since he lost the port concession.

His men have been collecting interest from the local vendors more aggressively than ever.

Does that include you?

Yes, but I’m not the only one.

Some teachers can’t keep up with their teachers’ cooperative loan payments either.

Mr. Po has tightened his purse strings and stopped lending them money to stay afloat.

Then why don’t we put Phakjira in charge of the students

for this event instead?

After all, her father is about to replace Mr. Po.

He should be able to support our budget.

But will Mr. Wiboon be as generous as Mr. Po?

There’s no harm in trying.

After all, the one person we know is short on cash is Mr. Po.

[ School Principal ]

All right. Here’s what we’ll do.

What?

Why does it have to be me again?

You already made me do the bulletin board last time.

It’s not just you. I’ve assigned Tokyo too.

You’ll be working as a pair.

I’m not asking you to do it alone.

What do you think we should do?

Hmm.

There are so many details.

Can we finish it in time with so few people?

And this is the friendship event.

Are these really all the people who came to help?

Who wants to work for free?

They’re probably off flirting with boys from other schools.

Then let’s hurry up and get this done.

Blue, I’m sorry, but...

if we finish helping today,

could you ask your father

to let my dad work at the port again?

And for me,

could you talk to the teacher who gave me an Incomplete?

Wait. What exactly does everyone think

I can help you with?

Doesn’t your father run the port?

If we can’t ask you for help, who else can we ask?

Can’t you even do this much for your friends?

I can’t help any of you.

I came here today to design the Moon Night stage.

If you came expecting anything else, just leave.

What?

It’s okay.

I’ll lend a hand too.

With this few people, we’ll only have a wooden frame by the day of the event.

What are we going to do?

Why don’t you let us help?

What? Why are you scooting away?

Why are you squeezing in with us? Just stay where you were.

Come on. Everyone knows about you two already.

Yeah. You’re the only one who never thought to tell your friends.

Yeah.

You two already knew?

Go on.

I’m sorry.

I just didn’t know how to bring it up.

You could’ve just told us.

Exactly.

But you know what my family is like.

Yeah, I know. I know everything.

Yi told the two of us

to keep an eye on you and Blue.

Yi even used our parents to threaten us.

That's right.

Don’t look at me like that.

I’ve applied for a part-time job in case I need to help my parents.

And in case Yi ever comes to collect the debt,

we’d be screwed. What else was I supposed to do?

Exactly. And one more thing.

We’re not friends with you because of your money,

no matter what everyone else says.

Oh my goodness.

Thank you.

Not so fast.

Don’t tell Yi

that we already know.

Keep it quiet.

Okay, okay.

Give them a hug too.

Oh, perfect timing.

Come here, sweetheart. Come on.

Here she is.

You said you wanted to study in London, right?

So I hired a tutor to give you a trial lesson.

Yes,

but what I meant was that I wanted to study in London.

Just try it and see if you like it.

If you really do,

I’ll hire someone to design a whole curriculum and teach you right here.

That way, you won’t have to go so far away.

Come, have a seat.

You should talk to her.

Please take good care of my daughter.

Of course.

Should we start by getting to know each other better?

Okay.

Which literary works do you like most?

Romeo & Juliet.

Great choice.

What about Hamlet?

I've read all of this.

Is that enough to step outside

and learn from the real world?

With a strong purpose in your heart,

you can find out who you want to be

wherever you are.

What's wrong?

Whoa, you’re a pretty good shot.

That’s because I had a good teacher.

True. A good teacher—and handsome too.

You just got a new gun. Why don't you try your old one?

- You think? - Yeah.

You're right.

Then you can have my new one. I don’t want it anymore.

What would I even use it for?

I don’t want to grow up to be like you.

Wow. Listen to you.

- Yi. - Yeah?

I’m seriously asking.

Have you ever wanted to try doing something else?

Something that doesn’t involve working for Dad?

No, never.

But I do.

Then do whatever you want.

Dad won’t stop you.

But do you really have to leave home?

If I never leave,

how will I find out what I truly enjoy?

How will I discover my dream or what I want to do?

I have to leave.

I’ve never had to leave home,

but I still know what I want and what I enjoy.

But you didn’t choose any of it yourself.

Dad chose it for you.

Shooting. Boxing.

Running gambling dens. Collecting debts.

Did Dad ever ask if you wanted to do any of that?

No.

Maybe Dad made you do those things for so long

that you convinced yourself you liked them.

But I think I really do like them.

I honestly feel

like I was born for this.

Then you’re lucky.

You didn’t choose it, but you still ended up liking it.

Okay.

But for me,

I don’t think this life is for me.

I think I need to choose for myself.

I don’t want this.

Do you really want to go abroad that badly?

Fine.

I’ll talk to Dad for you.

- You will? - Yeah.

Make sure you find out what your dream is.

- Really? - Sure.

You're healed now.

Hey, tell me something.

How did you figure out what your dream was?

What made you ask me that?

I want to have a dream like you do.

Have you loved drawing since you were little?

It was a long time ago. You’re better off not knowing.

Why? Can’t you tell me?

Please tell me.

Please?

Come on, please.

Please?

It was because of Tong.

Your ex?

Yeah.

Tong invited me to take art lessons.

See? This is why I didn’t want to tell you.

You once told me

that your father had chosen a path for each of his children.

What did he choose for you?

I don’t know either.

Dad’s never told me.

It’s different with Yi and Big.

Dad had Yi learn the family business from a young age.

As for Big,

Dad had him train to become a police officer

so he could handle things whenever there was trouble.

But as for me,

maybe Dad doesn’t think I have any special talents.

That’s a good thing. It means you get to choose for yourself.

I may get to choose,

but that doesn’t mean things will work out.

Just hypothetically...

what if we couldn’t be together in person?

What if I stayed here

while you went to study in Bangkok?

Do you think...

we’d still be together?

Even if we had to live apart

and have a long-distance relationship instead?

Do we really have to break up?

I don’t want to do long-distance.

But I was only speaking hypothetically.

No matter what, I’m going with you.

I’ll just close my eyes and pick a program.

There must be one I can get into with my scores.

Please don't.

I don’t want you choosing your dream because of me.

If you rush into making a choice

and regret it later,

you might end up resenting me for it.

I want you to choose for yourself.

But the problem is, I don’t have any other dreams.

You’re my dream.

[Singing off-key.]

Everyone.

Today, a representative from Chanthara Suksa

will be joining our rehearsal.

Our opening performance

will feature both bands performing together.

Oh, perfect timing.

Come on over.

Everyone, this is Tong.

Stand here so everyone can see you clearly.

Tong Nattapong is representing Chanthara Suksa.

Why don’t you all get to know one another?

Please make him feel welcome.

Let’s work on the sets and props outside today.

That way, we won’t disturb the band’s rehearsal.

Oh, hi.

- Hello. - Tong, right?

- Yeah. - I'm Jai, I'm the leader of the school band.

I'm also a lead singer.

Oh, you were great earlier.

Tong.

Why don’t you rehearse with the band’s backup vocalists?

What do you mean, ma’am?

Jiwara, why are you still sitting there? Come on.

Come rehearse.

Here’s the thing.

The principal considers this a major event,

and the school’s reputation is at stake.

You’re not suitable to be the lead singer for this event.

But you can’t do this, ma’am.

I’ve been rehearsing for this event all year.

You can’t just replace me whenever you feel like it.

You need to accept the truth, Sophawan.

You were never suited to be the school’s lead singer.

You should know how you got that position in the first place.

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

Blue.

Blue!

Why the hell did you do that?

What? Long time no see.

Aren’t you going to say hello properly?

Are you trying to start something?

Why did you have to follow me here?

Well, you gave me the idea.

I want a university admissions quota too.

That’s ridiculous.

You were already a school athlete back there.

What quota could you possibly need here?

Stop making excuses.

The truth is...

I want you to give me another chance.

You said you didn’t like long-distance relationships, remember?

Now I’ve moved closer to you.

Can we start seeing each other again?

Breaking up because of the distance wasn’t fair to me, Blue.

Forget it.

That second chance you want?

I don’t have one to give you.

Is it because you're dating someone?

That has nothing to do with it.

What’s over

is over.

I’m not giving up.

I’ll show you

that being with me is the better choice.

Pretty confident, aren’t you?

That was Tong, wasn’t it?

Yeah.

But I didn’t invite him here.

He came on his own.

I didn’t say you did.

But once this event is over, you won’t be seeing him again, right?

Right?

I’d like Police Commander Sin

to look after and protect me and my family,

just as you would any other citizens in this province.

What?

The police got a tip about our gambling den.

Police Commander Sin said we’ve been operating too openly.

We have to shut it down for now. The police are raiding it tomorrow.

If you’re this useless,

why the hell did I pay all those bribes to get you into the police force?

They’re coming down hard on us this time.

They made a deal directly with Police Commander Sin.

The influential officials who took side with the family that won the port concession,

you should--

What the fuck is Commander Sin playing at? That bastard!

He told us to lay low with the gambling den and the underground lottery for now.

More importantly,

he ordered us to stay away from that family.

That fucking Commander Sin talked to us like we were dirt.

Does he plan on returning any of the money we paid him?

We should be grateful he isn’t demanding even more.

This is because you went after Wiboon’s daughter.

You handed them an opening to attack us.

Don’t you understand that we can’t shut down the gambling den

and the underground lottery?

I need that cash to keep our men on our side.

What are you gonna do if all our men switch sides and join the Monchaitrakuls?

I’ve told you not to buy your men’s loyalty with money.

Do you ever listen to me?

- Use your brain for once-- - Shhh.

Enough.

Hey,

I'm gonna take this one.

Come on.

It's okay.

It’s okay if you’re not the school’s lead singer.

Honestly, it’s not that surprising.

Anyone who’s heard you sing could’ve seen it coming.

I think the only reason they gave you the position

was because the teachers didn’t want to upset Tokyo.

Why do you have to rub it in?

Yeah, I know I sing off-key.

And it was shitty of me to use Tokyo’s name

to get myself made the school’s lead singer.

But so what? I still worked hard, didn’t I?

You know I practiced every single day.

Hey, it’s okay, Jai.

You could always sing on TikTok.

That won’t work.

I need the school singer position on my portfolio

to apply for a university admissions quota.

If they take the position away from me like this,

my chances are practically zero.

Who’s going to take responsibility for all the work I’ve put in?

I’m sure it’ll be okay.

We’ll find another way.

And if you’re truly determined, you can still get in through the entrance exam.

Hey. It’ll be okay.

When my braid is on the left,

that’s your cue to meet me in the bathroom.

And…

What about the right side?

You need to meet me here.

And…

What if

I want to kiss you like this?

There's no secret code for that.

If you can't figure it out,

then it's your loss.

Your loss.

Blue.

I know you don’t want to talk to me, Blue.

But I know the reason you won’t take me back

is because you are dating someone, right?

It’s Tokyo, isn’t it?

Whether it’s true or not, it’s none of your business.

No, it isn’t.

But aren’t your families enemies?

I know you probably don’t care what your father thinks,

but I’ve heard Tokyo’s family can be pretty ruthless.

Are you threatening me?

No.

But...

if you don’t want me telling your family or Tokyo’s,

then give me another chance.

Blue, is Tong hitting on you?

A new couple in the making. Here we go.

Actually, I’m not here to hit on Blue.

I’m Blue’s ex.

I came here to ask her to take me back.

Shit. Is he your favorite ex or something?

Well, Blue? What are you gonna do? Tell him.

For sure.

Let's rehearse again.

Here.

It’s the cheesecake you like.

Thanks.

But I don’t like it anymore.

Are you still mad at me?

I’m sorry.

Can we start over?

It has nothing to do with you threatening me.

But you know that doing all this

still won’t make me take you back, right?

And I’m not angry that you followed me here.

Because I know the school you transferred to

really is known for its athletic admissions quota.

What I am angry about

is that you tried to blackmail me.

- Please, Blue-- - Tone.

Believe it or not, before all this,

I thought that once I went back home,

I could still text you and talk to you like before.

I thought we could be friends.

But now,

I don’t want anything to do with you anymore.

But I only did it because I wanted to keep you safe.

Your mom told me everything

about how dangerous that family is.

What you and Tokyo are doing really isn’t safe.

Tokyo could end up in danger too.

Please believe me.

Don’t put yourself at risk.

I’ll protect you.

Sorry.

Who are you?

Tokyo?

You didn’t show up that day

because you were afraid someone would see us together, right?

If it was because Tong threatened you like that,

I’ve already talked to Tong and sorted it out.

Can I give you a hand?

It's okay. I can do this.

I’ve already asked Blue to take me back.

The reason I moved here

is because Blue’s mother asked me to.

She wants Blue and me to get back together.

Let me ask you something.

What exactly are you to Blue?

Whatever I am,

I’m more than an ex like you.

You do realize that you’re just

dragging Blue into

the feud between our families, don’t you?

You’re making things difficult for her.

If you truly care about Blue,

then let her go.

If that’s your idea of threatening me,

you need to try harder.

You know

I was raised in a mafia family.

Something like this won’t scare me.

And stop using the adults’ feud as an excuse.

We can handle

our own relationships.

We don’t need you interfering.

But none of that matters now.

I...

I really don’t need you to do anything for me.

And I don’t want the adults involved in anything between us,

whether it’s school

or our relationship.

I...

I don’t have any grand dreams like you,

like Jai,

or like our other friends.

I just know

that I want to be with you.

And I want the freedom

to make my own choices.

That’s all.

We’re not going to break up

because of anyone else.

If we ever do break up,

it should be because we don’t love each other anymore.

- [Next Episode Preview] - Tokyo.

We need to talk.

How dare you do this to us?

You're betraying our family.

If we don’t do something now,

we’ll be stuck here for the rest of our lives.

If you don’t stop,

I’ll show you

exactly what the eldest son of the Kongpurim family

is capable of shutting down.
