What are you looking at?

What’s up?

Actually...

I have something I want to tell you.

What is it?

Like...

every time I’m near you

I feel excited.

Huh?

Every time I'm near you I feel h*rny

What???

H*rny???

Keep it down!

What do you mean?

Being near you excites me

just like when I’m with my girlfriend.

Why would Minh Nhật say something like that to me??

Isn’t it awkward for a guy to say stuff like this?

Could it be... He knows I like him

and is trying to mess with me?

We’ve been friends since high school

We even had another close friend in the same class, Công Trác

He has a somewhat mature personality.

Probably because his personality is older than his actual age.

And Minh Nhật...

Copy the answers!

Copy from who?

Phong

Phong!

Hurry up! Do it quickly!

you're always so slow.

Well, isn’t that fun?

I’m not joking around here

I don’t like people who act all fake and silly.

It’s not like just anyone can join our group.

Spoiling Phong is enough for me.

He still hangs out with me and doesn’t care at all that I’m gay.

Tôi không cố ý, nhưng tôi bị cuốn hút bởi sự chân thật...

and....

That "straight" for wardness inside him.

These feelings inside me just keep growing

and sometimes I’m not even sure if it’s love.

Phong! Go shower, quick!

When I realized my one-sided feelings

they only grew stronger.

I didn’t expect Nhật to feel inspired by me today.

Lately, my mind’s been a mess,

always thinking about weird stuff

What do you think?

Your mind? How would I know?

I just think... it’s a bit pervy.

Pervy, my ass!

Forget I said anything!

What are you even thinking

I told you I wouldn’t bring it up again!

Yeah, okay.

Why do you have food all over your mouth?

Nhật!

Yeah! Coming!

Alright, I’m off!

"What’s up?"

"I’ve been looking for you!

Let’s grab something to eat!"

Yeah...

sure, I haven’t had lunch either."

Alright, let’s go.

At that moment

I still believed everything would go back to the way it was.

To improve the class’s performance

the teacher decided everyone has to join a club or team

I’m joining the dance club.

What?

You? Joining the dance club?

With your forgetful brain?

You’re going to dance?

Wanna bet?

Let’s each try to memorize a dance routine and see who forgets it first!

I dont like

I’m joining the music club!

Alright, you’re number one then!

What about you, Phong?

Me?

Oh my god, have some confidence!

You’re joining the photography club, aren’t you?

I mean, I’ve seen your Facebook photos

they’re pretty decent. Plus, you’ve got a good eye for aesthetics, right?"

Oh!

I think you’d do great in the photography club

My brother already agreed to teach you.

Start with landscape shots

and later you can work on portraits.

Every Sunday morning at the park behind the school.

What? Your brother?

That’s between me and Phong

why are you so curious?

Well, I need to know if he’s a decent person or not!

Wait, are you jealous or something?

What? Jealous of what?

Just hurry up and show me already!

"Fine! He’s my cousin

and he’s a photographer.

Phong doesn’t have the money to take photography classes

so I asked him to help out. That’s all.

I mean, with that beard and all.

Give it back!

he’s definitely not a decent guy!

Like you’re so perfect to call someone else out!

What’s so funny?

Nope!

So, 10 a.m. Sunday, right?

Nhật!

Thủy?

Wait for me for a sec.

What are you doing here?

Looking for you, of course.

Are we going to watch a movie tonight?

I’m not sure yet.

Come on, let’s go! And I’ll stop by your place tonight!

We’ll see. I gotta go now.

Hey, are you free later?

Yeah, why?

Let’s grab a drink or something.

Ok!

Here's your ice cream, eat it

It took you so long to buy a tub of ice cream?

ell, I had to search everywhere for the flavor you like, strawberry.

Is it good?

Yeah, it’s good.

I think you’re good, too.

"Good?!

Good, my foot!

I seriously want to sleep with you.

What?!

I really want to try

Stop joking around like that!

I’m not joking. I mean it.

I don’t understand

why I always think of you

whenever I’m with other girls...

even when...

I'm alone!

You mean...

Yeah, that’s it!

Isn't that weird?

Yeah, it’s weird!

So you have to help me

figure this out

whether I truly feel satisfied being with you

or if it’s just my imagination!

Get off me!

Phong!

Get out!

Not until you promise me!

Let me go.

I'm...

Do you hate me that much?

No...

I just...

Then you don’t hate me.

You know I have lots of experience

I promise it won’t hurt

and you won’t feel anything!

How do you even know it won’t hurt?

Stop lying to me!

How do you know it will hurt?

Onlyf*ns?

I promise it’ll be comfortable.

Plus, you’re my best friend

you have to help me understand this.

If it gets too uncomfortable

you have to stop, okay?

This is just one time right?

Just this once.

Fine... but you shower first

Soap and everything’s in there.

What’s with you?

Embarrassed?

I’ll take you in.

What’s the deal?

Looking at me like that,

I’m not some demon king!

Just shy?

oh.

Everyone’s shy the first time,

but it’s no big deal!

The first time, everyone’s shy?

oh!

my exes were all scared the first time

but then they liked it..

Don’t worry,

I’m experienced.

So...

we’re really doing this?

Do you think I’m joking?

You promised me...

Trust me,

just this once

Hey!! What are you doing?

Showering together, to save time!

Then you shower first, and I’ll go after.

I already said...

showering together saves time.

Then you shower first, and I’ll go after.

Embarrassed?

How are you going to manage in a bit?

Then let me leave.

You promised me, remember?

This is different.

Why are you in such a rush?

Of course, , I’m in a rush!

Rushing so you don’t have time to think and change your mind.

What if you run off

while I’m in the shower?

Come back, I’ll scrub your back for you.

But...

Just do it.

Why is your skin so smooth for a guy?

Hey! That’s my spot.

I didn’t say it was mine.

"I mean, let me do it myself.

it will be fine

Here? In here?

Yeah...

I think everything is ready...

Nhật said he had calmed down and returned to his girlfriend

so he didn’t need my help anymore.

I truly felt relieved...

or did I?

Phong... let’s go.

Thanks!

I still have a whole set at home.

Maybe you can stop by later.

No, I’ll turn here.

My house is right around the corner."

What? No way, it’s a full set.

You have to open it yourself. That’s what makes it fun."

How about you bring it to school tomorrow?

It’s already late,

and I need to get home to cook dinner."

That’s not gonna work.

You know me;

I’ll probably forget.

And don’t you really like those babytree?

Is he still worried about me?

Come over, and I’ll cook for both of us.

He still wants to be friends with me...

I just don’t want to go back... to that place.

Or... do you not want to come to my house anymore?

It’s not that...

Fine, I’ll come over

Alright, then!

I’ll just grab the Baby Three set and leave right away...

no going into the room,

no going into the room... that’s it."

Come in!

Let me go home!

Go home? What for?

Let's do it!

Are you crazy?

Crazy?

I'm not crazy...

It's crazy!

Stop it, Nhật!

Just give in to me this one time!

I can't control myself anymore!

Isn't it because last time you were disappointed

when things didn't turn out the way you imagined, Nhật?

Disappointed?

I was ready to die with you!

Stop it!

Aren't you afraid of upsetting your girlfriend if you do this?

You mean Thủy?

My ex-girlfriend?

We broke up!

Stop it!

Just this one time…

I promise it’s the last!

Hey, make sure you adjust the focus properly

then we’ll reduce the aperture...

That’s it, 2, 3, snap!

This one, tilt it a bit more next time.

But it’s okay, this is already better than last time.

Thank you

Why are you taking so long?

I think it looks fine...

As long as it’s better than yours, it’s good enough.

If you’re going to shoot like you

might as well stay home.

Hey, be respectful!

I’ll go grab some drinks and be right back, okay?

okay!

This shot looks amazing!

Yeah,

I think anh Trí is really nice.

He’s so genuine and patient in teaching me.

Of course, he’s a good guy.

But sometimes, he gets a little... eccentric

you know, like those artistic types.

I don’t see that at all.

I find his teaching style super easy to understand,

and he’s very considerate.

Well, that’s because he’s mature and older, so he’s different.

Not like Nhật...

all moody and impulsive.

What are you talking about?

I didn’t even mention him.

Well, you didn’t, but I did.

This morning, he was planning to come here

to see how you shoot.

crying her heart out,

so he had to rush over there.

I see.

Lately, what’s going on between you and Nhật?

Something’s up, right?

Nothing. We’re just normal.

"Actually, I wanted to talk

about that thing... lately…

Oh, it’s time for dance practice. I have to go.

If you see anh Trí, say goodbye to him for me, okay?"

Thủy....

Nhật seems happy with that girl.

He’s gentle and kind to her…

but with me, it’s different.

he is very vi*lent

No matter what I think,

where I am

or when it is, he always…

What are you doing? A lot of people here!

There’s no one!

There are kids around!

Stop it!

He pulls me close.

Love without sex

is not much different from brotherhood!

Because we are already best friends

we have tried going faster by having

sex

Feeling the passion,

the heat

and diving into each other just to satisfy our lust

Then,

when it's satisfied, they left,

leaving me behind...drowning!

Infinitely!

Anh Trí!

Here’s your drink…

Thanks…

Fish-shaped cake?

Yes, I love this one.

Try it.

Oh, where’s Trác?

He had something to do, so he left earlier.

Hmm,

you seem to be in a mood today. Something on your mind?

You don’t seem fine.

You look a bit sad today.

Eat up.

Oh, you like the fish head part too?

That’s just like me.

You know, people say, ‘Start well, end well.’

Phong!

Nhật!

Why do you do that?

Fish-shaped cakes get cold quickly and upset your stomach.

That guy doesn’t know anything

and keeps buying random things for you to eat!

You’re being ridiculous!

Who’s ridiculous?

That photographer guy is the weird one.

His name is Trí!

Yeah, Trí.

But why’s he buying you food?

What’s his deal?

Is he trying to hit on you?

What’s there about me to hit on?

The one who keeps trying to sway me is you!

Hey!

Here, rice balls. Your favorite.

I was worried you might be hungry

so I got these for you.

Can I come over to your place tonight?

"I just went over last night.

But I want to.

Just this once,please… Okay?

I don’t know. I have to go now.

Phong!

Hey… !

I’ll pick you up tonight!

I don’t know what this feeling is.

Even when I’m with the person I love

I feel like I’m adrift in cold waters…

alone… sinking deeper…

Loving alone

while letting my body be there for the one I love…

for his satisfaction.

Are you worried about something?

I...

Take a deep breath.

If there’s anything, just share it with me.

Or is this a difficult thing to say?

I'm afraid...

you'll look down on me after hearing this

Don’t worry, just say it. I won’t judge you.

I slept with my best friend.

Even though it wasn’t love

I still agreed to do it.

I’m awful!

Calm down.

Did they… force you?

No.

Then there’s no issue.

Two people of the same gender being together is completely normal.

Yes, but the problem is I love him

and he doesn’t feel the same.

He was just curious, so he wanted to try.

So you made the first move

because you have feelings for him?

No, he made the first move.

He didn’t care about how I felt.

He just wanted to try.

Try?

Then doesn’t that mean he might also love you?

That must be really tough for you.

Imagine being thirsty.

You have to choose between not drinking

and dying of thirst,

or drinking and…

If that’s the case

you need to sit down

and seriously talk about your feelings with him.

How else will he understand?

I can’t.

From the start, he made it clear that we’re just friends

and nothing more,

So....

This guy is really complicated.

Do you want to stop this kind of relationship?

The bondage in this relationship

...hurts me.

I want to end it peacefully.

Then…

Please pretend to be my boyfriend!

What?

Just tell him you have a boyfriend

and don’t want to have s*x with anymore.

That way, he can’t force you."

But what about you?

I’m single, so it’s fine.

Do you have to meet him later?

Yes, we planned to meet.

Cancel the appointment with him

and go to the movies with me

You stood us up!

I'm busy,

and from now on, I won't sleep with you anymore

What do you mean?

I'm seeing someone...

(So that's good, right?

Now we both have girlfriends

We're both good

I'm not used to girls,

I'm used to hanging out with Anh Trí

What? Chí?

That photographer guy, right?

Yeah... Chí!

Oh!

So I won't sleep with you anymore,

I'll only sleep with the person I love

Alo?

I know

When did you two become friends?

Last week...

What makes you like him?

I liked him from

the moment I met him

He always worries about me and cares for me

He never complains and knows how to

make me happy with small things

Really?

He's not good enough for you.

He's not what you think he is.

Ok!

I'm sorry...

I've always kept you by my side...

You'll definitely be in trouble when he finds out.

I won't tell anyone, don't worry.

And you, don't mention his name in front of me.

It's yours, take it.

Thank.

Where's mine?

Just buy it yourself.

Thanks, I've already had breakfast.

Why aren't you eating?

"I'll eat later.

Have you guys noticed we've been awkward

with each other lately?

You two are like enemies

not like husband and wife anymore.

Still the same

U huh!

Hey guys.

Anh Trí!

What are you doing down here?

Ah...

You're asking Phong out on a date again, huh?

Honestly,

I regret introducing my friend to him.

He taught him how to take pictures and then started dating him.

You think you messed up with me, huh?

I know, I'll apologize later if needed

Let's go, honie.

You've got something in your hair, huh?

See u again!

What's wrong with you?

You're talking too much

You're really annoying.

Wait for me, okay?

So, you still can’t come clean with Phong, huh?

Why do you keep saying the same thing over and over?

Hey, Nhật.

Oh, Thuy!

You stay here, I’m heading out.

Wait, where are you going?

She’s trying to talk to you!

Why haven’t you answered my calls these past few days?

I’ve been busy. Busy? No, you haven’t.

He’s been free the whole week.

Come on, you’ve got to be honest when a girl’s mad. Just say it.

Actually... I...

You’re bored.

You’re bored of her! Aren’t you?

Yeah, he’s bored of you

because he’s found someone new.

What? Really?

If you don’t say anything, no one will call you mute.

This is the time to be honest if you want her to forgive you.

Go on, let it all out.

You’re such a jerk.

Sweet-talking when you were in love

and now that you’re bored, you just go silent.

What’s the point of giving me gifts and keepsakes?

Wow, a baby tree!

Last time, you gave someone else a white one.

Why does your face look even paler than that babytree now?

I’m out of words for you.

No, don’t stop now, keep going!

Hey!

here’s my last word for you

if you don’t love someone, don’t lead them on... Jerk!

Oh, Thuy, there’s one more important thing

you haven’t done.

What’s that?

What are you doing?!

This slap is for Phong and Thuy.

Don’t you glare at me!

Think hard about what you’re doing with your life.

Wow, that felt amazing.

To this day I still don’t understand

why Chi decided to help me...

But in those few moments,

I felt truly warm and grateful."

Hey!

What’s wrong?

Thank you.

Thank me? For what?

Thank you for being by my side through this.

Don't worry

I’m feeling a bit better.

At least I have a reason to avoid seeing Nhat.

I was just worried

I might be bothering you.

Not at all.

I’m happy to be with you.

Getting to roam around the city with you

is so much fun.

You're being overly formal.

You're jumping into a pool of trouble

and that trouble is me.

Don't worry too much.

I'm by your side for a very clear reason.

What do you mean?

I jumped into the pool of trouble in your heart

Because...

I, too, have a 'thirst' I haven't dared to confess.

Trí...

i'm sorry...

And in that moment...

I knew I could never forget...

Nhật!

Nhật!

We walked side by side, truly happy...

Smile!

Smile, smile, yes, that’s it, sweetheart!

I felt that the 'thirst'—the metaphorical longing

was gradually fading away, leaving only peace behind

The Christmas decorations this year are so beautiful!

Yeah!

Then...

There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you.

We’ve come such a long way together.

I began with a longing to understand myself through our intimacy.

"But then, I fell for your face next to me in bed.

Since then, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you.

And I always tell myself that...

I’ll take you back from Tri,

no matter what it takes.

But you already have a girlfriend!

We broke up a long time ago.

Because deep down,

I know that the 'thirst' I feel when I'm with you is love.

I feel it too
