Try wearing the day's lucky color.

Dressed in all green, huh?

Guess you won't need that inhaler anymore, huh?

You can just get a desk lamp.

It'll bring you luck in love.

Can you guarantee that?

You have my word as Xinxin, the feng shui master.

You're still single, then?

Hey...

are you trying to fish for info?

What do you think about...

people who like the same sex?

People just fall in love with someone.

It's not a sin or anything.

[JR CONSTRUCTION]

You can contact the contractor for Mr. Mongkol's project now.

Alright.

- We closed the deal perfectly. - Exactly.

Structural design and drafts

have all been approved, no feng shui master needed.

Well, we did rely on one.

How so?

I consulted Xinxin about the feng shui.

What?

But...

you two were still fighting that day, weren't you?

I thought you couldn't work on the same project anymore.

Or has our architect finally opened up to the feng shui master?

Aha...

I just wanted to get this work done quickly.

Opened up what?

Who would believe in that kind of stuff?

Such nonsense.

- Oh? - What?

- Let's go. - I'm lost.

Don't forget to contact Mr. Mongkol, alright?

Alright.

[Sloth Sukiyaki]

So, what should we have today?

How about sukiyaki?

That way, you'll actually eat some veggies.

Mom!

I do eat them, you know.

You barely eat any, though.

I eat some, though.

Come on.

This one, alright?

Oh? Auntie Tai!

Xinxin.

Hello, Auntie Tai.

- Hello. - Are you here to shop?

That's right.

I was bored, so I came out for a bit today.

Soul is here, too.

She'll be here in a minute.

Oh.

Uh, this is...

Phing,

my mom.

And this is...

Auntie Tai,

Soul's mom.

Oh...

- Hello. - Hello.

What did you just call me?

Hello, Auntie Phing.

Hi.

Are you in a rush?

Do you want to grab some food together?

Actually, we were just about to go have sukiyaki.

I see.

That's great. We're looking for something to eat, too.

Then please join us. I was thinking of having sukiyaki,

since this one doesn't really eat vegetables.

I see...

Mine just loves to eat vegetables.

I sometimes joke that she's like a cow

- with a fridge full of veggies and grass. - Mom!

Right.

Then please join us, Ms. Tai.

- Alright. - Be my guest.

Thank you for letting us join, Ms. Phing.

- It's my pleasure. - Right.

- Come on, let's get inside, dear. - Let's go.

Alright.

She eats so few vegetables, so I thought...

I don't think what you said

worked out very well,

since we've kept

running into each other.

I guess my energy is running low.

I think it's time to make some merit.

Make sure you eat plenty of vegetables,

especially carrots, dear.

Because they have vitamins that are good for your eyes.

Since you're a feng shui master,

you must use your eyes a lot, right?

But I'm a feng shui master, not a rabbit, Mom.

If you make me eat this much,

I'll just dig a hole and live in it.

They are just the same.

Soul used to hate vegetables when she was little.

I think when she was seven,

she hid some broccoli under the couch

and left it there until it rotted and smelled awful.

It's a good thing her habits changed as she grew up.

Mom.

That was over 20 years ago.

Why'd you say that? You're embarrassing me.

It's true, though.

I didn't know you had this in you.

I thought you were a nerdy kid

who'd been holding a steel ruler since day one.

Hey, Ms. Tai.

My girl is also something else.

When she was around ten,

- Right. - she started believing in horoscopes and stuff.

We went to the temple to see a monk,

and he said she'd have some bad luck.

She really believed what he said,

so she locked herself in a room for three whole days.

I had to leave food and water outside her room.

It was like having a kuman thong at home.

That's called faith, Mom.

I just followed the advice I got.

Right, faith, you say.

Alright, faith it is.

Hey, Ms. Tai.

Is Soul...

dating anyone right now?

Oh?

She's single now.

But when she loves someone,

she puts all her cards on the table.

Back then,

she wanted to knit someone a scarf.

She didn't even know how to knit, but she learned.

And then

she came back with a three-meter-long scarf.

I thought it was a naga!

Gosh!

Was that meant to go around the neck or the whole body?

Auntie Phing.

Since Xinxin

has believed in horoscopes and lucky colors since childhood,

I wonder what color she wore

for her university entrance exam.

Vermilion was the lucky color that day.

And guess what she did?

Her undershirt was vermilion,

so were her jacket and pants.

Even her bow was in vermilion.

But I think she was lucky the color of the day

wasn't the three-colored spirit cloth.

Otherwise, she'd become...

a guardian spirit of that room.

Mom!

Actually, I have another story to tell.

- About the wealth-attracting ritual. - Ugh, stop it!

Moms,

let's stop talking about our childhood antics for now,

because this meatball is about to explode.

This lava-filled one.

- Come on, have some. - Let's dig in.

I know you're hangry.

You're only checking out my profile.

I don't think that's fair.

Uh...

Your Instagram account.

Alright.

Here you go.

[Following]

[lada_stories_ started following you]

[Follow back]

[Following]

I'm sorry I'm late.

I got a little lost because I don't come around here very often.

It's fine.

I just got here.

I ordered this for you.

I thought you might be hungry.

How did you know what I wanted?

Well, you look mixed-race.

Actually, I like Thai food.

Uh, but...

but I like what you ordered more.

You almost gave me a heart attack.

I actually guessed from looking at your lifestyle on Instagram.

Thank you.

How about we talk about work while we eat?

I think we shouldn't.

I'm free today,

and my whole day is yours.

What should we do now?

It's gonna take hours for them to finish getting their nails done.

Come with me.

Where are you taking me?

To get you a lamp, of course.

I know you won't believe me.

It's not like I want to be in love that much anyway.

It wouldn't hurt, you know.

So you won't be this stiff.

I'll buy it for you.

Consider it a good-luck charm from a feng shui master.

I don't want it.

I don't want to owe anyone.

How much?

I'll pay you back.

Oh.

How's Mr. Mongkol's project going?

You haven't told me anything.

Are you even listening?

Heard it.

Got it.

So, how's the project?

It's going well.

Mr. Mongkol is happy with it.

Thank you for your help.

Then I should get something in return.

Isn't this a bit modest of you?

Honestly, I don't really need much in life.

First,

money.

Second,

sweets and delicious food.

Don't you want some?

No, I don't.

I'm not a fan of sweets.

Whoa...

How boring of you.

I just care about my health.

Alright.

Well...

You don't eat sweets,

you don't eat fried food,

and even your light bulbs come in odd numbers.

And a foul mouth...

I mean, sharp-tongued.

Mm.

That's why love will never find you.

It's only going to run away.

Seriously, after everything you just said,

would love ever come running to me?

It would.

And it's not coming slowly.

It's running at pace one.

You won't even see it coming.

Is she afraid people won't know it's a love-boosting lamp?

Excuse me, boss.

I was tied up with a client just now.

It's alright.

Here, come on in.

Alright.

Shall we get started, then?

Could you share what tasks you're currently working on?

Let's start with Soul.

I'm currently handling four projects.

Mm...

That's quite a lot to take on.

What about you, Pat?

I have two.

Okay.

Now we have a new project coming in.

It's for Madam Waen,

our regular client.

She's planning to build a vacation home in Pran Buri.

Actually, I'm thinking of assigning this project to Soul

since you've worked with her before

and probably know her well.

But I've already mentioned to her that

Soul might be busy.

In that case, just assign it to Pat.

You can handle this, right?

Normally, I limit myself to three projects

because...

I...

can't give them all enough attention.

But if Soul can handle four projects this well...

I guess I can take it on, then.

Okay.

So, your team will be responsible for

Madam Waen's project, alright?

But Madam is quite particular about feng shui,

so you might have to work closely with the feng shui master.

Mm... I'm alright with that.

Who is that feng shui master, by the way?

I might know them.

It's probably the same one.

She has her own feng shui master.

Boss,

could you assign me to this project?

Are you sure?

You already have too much work. I don't think you can manage.

I can do it.

With the team leader being this stubborn,

if the client ends up complaining,

we'll all be in trouble.

That has never happened to me,

and it never will.

Is Miss Architect in charge

of this project, Madam Waen?

Yes, she is.

At first, the company was gonna send some handsome guy.

But I don't know what she was thinking.

In the room, she offered

to have her team take on this project.

I think she might want to work with you.

Does she want to work with me,

or is she just messing with my head?

Oh, come on...

Trust me,

my dear feng shui master.

You two have great chemistry when you work together.

I can feel

the energy whenever you argue.

It really livens up my house.

Maybe it's spiteful energy?

Oh, come on...

Whatever that energy is,

the deposit has already been transferred

to the company.

I hope you two will nail this project.

Because I believe in both Xinxin, the feng shui master, and Ms. Soul.

Alright.

Gotta pray for good fortune ASAP.

What will my relationship with her be like?

[THE LOVERS]

Oh, no way...

Soul...

I've already taken it. What can I do?

I thought you said Madam Waen's project traumatized you.

Why did you take on another project for her?

She's right.

Both Madam Waen and that feng shui lady.

You can't stand either of them.

Then why did you do this?

Go ahead, yell at me.

Don't hold back.

Oh, we won't.

You'd just yell back at us!

But you have to tell us your plan

- and how you intend to handle it. - Yeah.

Or do you just want to pick a fight with Pat?

Uh...

Well...

Pat was getting on my nerves first.

He said I couldn't handle the projects.

How could I just let him talk down to me like that?

Mm...

I get it now.

It was Pat, right?

Okay.

How could he do this to us?

We need to start a war over this.

We'd better show them

that our team is the best in the company!

Oyl, you're acting like you got insulted yourself.

Mm.

This is unacceptable.

Mm.

How did you end up here?

About Madam Waen's project,

have you accepted it yet?

I already have.

Did you know I was the one in charge?

I knew.

And you still took it?

Why shouldn't I?

I can work with any architect,

and they pay me well, too.

What about you?

Why did you take it on? Haven't you learned your lesson?

Well...

Well...

They pay me well.

Yeah,

they pay me well.

So it turns out you're all about the money, too.

Of course I want money when I work.

If not for money,

then what for?

Well, for me.

I thought you wanted to work with me.

I bet arguing with other feng shui masters

isn't as fun as arguing with me.

I don't even need to argue

with other feng shui masters.

Here you go,

spicy pork leg tom yum.

Look.

Uh... I made chive dumplings.

Take some home for your mom too, okay?

Oh, alright.

Here you go.

Come on. Let's eat.

Thank you.

Come on, let's dig in.

You grow quite fast, though.

Why don't you go home after you've eaten?

I'm waiting for your mom's chive dumplings.

Do you like plants?

Well...

not that much.

I just help my mom take care of them.

So, do you know all of them?

Go ahead, ask me.

This one.

Crown of thorns.

How about this one?

Tulip.

Tulip?

That's a dracaena!

And this one?

I get not knowing the others,

but this one's a golden pothos.

You really don't know?

I know.

I just want to know

if it's the same as the one you told me to put on my desk.

That's all.

It is.

Did you put it there yet?

Not yet.

I knew it.

You don't listen to a word I say.

It's not that I don't care, but I don't have time to buy it.

Here,

you can have it.

A golden pothos is so easy

to take care of, you know?

It can grow in both soil and water.

If you can't keep it alive,

you shouldn't bother trying anything else in this lifetime.

I know, I know.

I'll take really good care of it.

Do I need to tuck it in as well?

Does it get cold easily?

Hey.

Hey!

Hey, you!

What's wrong with you?!

I'm not driving just so you can sleep comfortably.

Can't you stay awake with me?

Well, I'm bored!

What do you want me to do?

I can't even drive.

But you have a car, don't you?

It's someone else's car.

I'm just keeping it for them.

Did Madam Waen arrange to meet us at the temple?

No, she didn't.

We still have some time left,

so I brought you here to pray first.

You brought me?

Mm.

You were just complaining about having low energy lately.

You need to make merit, don't you?

Well,

we're here now.

Since when do you pay attention to what I say?

Uh...

We still have some time,

and it's on the way,

so I thought we'd stop by.

That's all.

Oh...

Come on, get out.

Here.

Come on.

What are you looking at?

Nothing. Just...

You seem really focused.

Well...

I just hope our project goes smoothly

and I don't lose my mind in the process...

Okay?

I'm just joking.

I believe that if you come to pray, you must do it from the heart.

You shouldn't rush or anything.

Hm...

I usually see you relying on feng shui.

I didn't think you'd visit temples much.

Actually, someone told me that

feng shui is about

organizing the external environment.

But if you don't organize your mind and body well,

even if you place the fountain in the right direction,

you'll still be hot-tempered.

Hm...

Who taught you that?

That's a good lesson.

Dad...

Someone, I guess.

A long time ago.

Let's make a wish first.

Alright.

Come on.

Let's go.

Look at you go, little one.

Don't get caught like this again, alright?

Here you go.

I'll hold it for you.

Here.

Let's see.

Whoa!

- So many of them. - So many of them!

- Oh?! - That one is orange.

The orange fish!

Must be a salmon.

Let me put it here.

Okay.

I have to throw it far out.

Get into position first.

Look here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

That didn't go any farther!

Come on,

look here.

- I'll show you how to make it go farther. - Hey!

Oh, that's not far either.

Go, go.

There are so many of them.

We're out of food now.

Do you want more?

I'd better get going.

Come on, wake up.

Hey.

Wake up.

Can't I sleep a little more?

Hey!

Wake up!

We're here already?

Driving's so tiring, huh.

Mm...

The same room?!

Yes, because you only booked one.

I have no problem with that.

But I do!

Huh?

So what do you want?

Are there really no rooms available?

We're completely booked. I truly apologize for the inconvenience.

Hey, you.

Madam Waen booked this

and even paid for it.

We're here to work, not on vacation, alright?

Just sleep wherever they put you.

But I don't want to sleep in the same room as you.

What's your problem?

We're both women.

What are you scared of anyway?

Of course I'd be scared.

You're a lady-killer.

Uh, please go ahead with that.

Hey!

We have to sleep in the same bed?

It's pretty big.

I don't mind.

But I do mind!

Then you take

the right side

and I'll take the left.

That's fine by me.

Hurry and catch up when you're done.

I'll wait in the car.

It's almost time.

Ugh...

What the heck?!

This must be Madam Waen's doing!

Hello, Ms. Soul and Feng Shui Master Xinxin.

- Hello, Madam Waen. - Hello.

How's the room? Is it okay?

It's okay, but I thought we'd get a private room.

Oh...

I thought you wouldn't mind sharing a room since you seem so close.

I'm sorry for not asking you first.

It's alright, but...

if there's a next time, I'd prefer a separate room.

Uh...

I think we should start before it gets dark.

Alright. Let's go.

Come on, I'll show you over there.

Follow me.

Right here, right here.

The plot is here

and goes all the way there.

Whoa.

- Alright, alright. - Yes.

What do you think of this location?

It's really nice.

It faces the sea

and is backed by mountains.

It'll bring prosperity to both your business and your fortune.

It's good for your health, too.

That's good to hear.

But you shouldn't build the house too close to the sea.

Strong winds could batter it,

and the salty sea air could make you uncomfortable.

I see.

That's why

the house needs to be built some distance from the sea.

- Mm, alright. - Hey, you.

But not so far away that the breeze can't reach it.

There's one more thing, Madam.

What is it?

No piling is allowed here.

Oh...

What are you talking about?

Build a house without driving piles? Are you out of your mind?!

- What were you thinking? - Uh...

Hold on, Ms. Soul.

Well...

Actually, I don't

stay here very often. I only come here once in a while.

I think it would be alright without piling.

I'm afraid not.

Uh...

Hey,

she said it's alright.

Do you ever think about her safety?

Uh...

Hold on, hold on.

Shall we wrap it up for today

and continue it tomorrow?

I'm getting tired,

and the sky is getting dark, too.

Let's go.

Let's go before it rains.

- Come on. Right? Come. - A storm is coming.

We need to talk

when we get back.

Ouch!

Hey...

It hurts!

Let go of me!

Are you messing with me?

What did I do?

The pile foundation!

I meant it.

But that's the main structure of the house.

How is it supposed to stand without piling?

Do you want it to float in the air?

This is the real working world,

not a playground

for your childish games of revenge!

But the client chose to believe a kid like me.

Because feng shui masters like you completely ruined my work.

I have to keep revising it nonstop because of your careless words!

I'm not careless!

What if the house collapses?

Will you share the responsibility with me?

Or are you gonna say it's because I didn't believe you?

What kind of person are you?

Do you want to look mystical so people worship

and bow down to you?

You're just a fortune teller,

not an engineer or an architect.

What would you know about structures?

Can you stop sticking your nose in?!

Does having a degree

give you the right to look down on me?

Just because you've got a degree,

my words mean nothing to you, right?

"I just don't like rain."

Xinxin!

Xinxin!

Xinxin!

Xinxin!

Xinxin!

Xinxin!

Xinxin!

I'm sorry.

It's okay now.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for...

being so harsh.

Well, you were right, though.

I'm just a feng shui master.

I only have belief,

not knowledge.

I didn't mean it that way.

I just...

I just didn't want you to interfere with my project,

but I forgot that it's your job, too.

I'm sorry.

Mm.

I'm...

sorry, too.

I'm sorry for focusing only on my own work

without caring how it affected you.

Well,

we still have to work together after all.

I will

handle the structural work,

and you can just

focus on the feng shui like before.

Is that alright with you?

I...

wouldn't dare boss you around.

You don't have to tell me what to do.

Just remind me, that's all.

I want to ask you something.

Why...

are you so scared of rain?

It's alright if you don't want to talk about it.

I...

once waited for my dad to pick me up from school.

I waited until it started raining,

but he didn't show up.

By the time Mom came to pick me up,

I was already asleep there.

After that...

I never waited for that man again.

That's why you're so scared of rain.

Every time it rains,

it reminds me of that day.

I was scared,

cold,

and lonely.

Maybe it's not the rain.

Maybe it's the fear

of having nothing to protect you.

You may be right.

I guess I have to keep finding shelter from rain like this.

Things won't stay that way forever, you know.

One day,

you'll find your own umbrella, Xinxin.

No matter how hard it rains,

you won't need to find shelter.

It's not because the rain has gone away,

but because you...

won't be scared of it anymore.

Xinxin.

Are you asleep yet?

Not yet.

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

When will you call me like that again?

Well...

I don't need to

since we're just coworkers.

But you said it the other day.

Well...

that was because the moms were with us.

Okay.

That's fine.

It's okay if you don't.

Are you asleep yet?

Yeah, I'm gonna sleep now.

Sweet dreams.

You used to tell me...

love will find its way to me before I even realize it, right?

I think...

it's getting closer.

You really don't realize

I'm into you?

I know.

You're so obvious.

You two are a couple, right?

We are.

Hey, what is it?!

A snake!

- Snake?! - Snake!

It bit me!

A green one, too.

Is it a green pit viper?

I guess not.

Not a green pit viper?

Not a snake.

Open your eyes.

Are you scared of snakes?

Who wouldn't be?

Let's go.

It's so overgrown around here.

Mm.

Alright.

I'm coming with you.
