17 MONTHS LATER

You can change the pose now.

2017

Good, right there. Beautiful.

- The groom is so handsome. - Yeah, like he showers every hour.

What does that even mean?

Like he looks super clean, like you can actually smell the freshness from here.

Try to be a little sweeter.

Nice.

- Get closer. Perfect. - That's enough.

Sui, that's enough.

But the client wants a romantic vibe, Ton.

Dao, I said that's enough. It's just a print ad.

Why kiss him on the cheek?

It's a pre-wedding print ad.

You want us to look angry instead?

I don't like it. You're my girlfriend.

And I can tell you're not just friends.

Ton, you couldn't find models, so my friend and I helped you out.

And now,

instead of being grateful, you're acting jealous?

So what, I can't be near any guy now?

If a male dog walks by, are you gonna get jealous too?

- Dao. - Dao.

I can't take it anymore either.

- Let's break up. - Dao, wait.

Let her go.

I'm not letting her go to you.

So, did you bring me here to model or to make Ton jealous?

I got you a side gig and now you're saying that?

And what about this guy? He was your boss. Why did you break up?

He was too possessive. Just because a new hire smiled at me,

he threatened not to let him pass probation.

Here's your modeling fee.

We agreed on 8,000. Why do I get 10,000?

I added 2,000 for being easy to book.

Don't pity me.

You worked hard. You deserve to get paid too.

But now that you dumped your boss,

will he still let you work there?

I don't care.

I've already applied for a new job. Better salary.

You've only been out of school for a year, Dao.

This is your second job change.

Why can't you just put up with it?

I'm gaining life experience, okay?

Besides, every time I switch,

my salary goes up.

Not everyone's like you, doing office work,

personal training, and accepting any gig.

You're not Superman, you know.

I mean, Iron Man.

Are you planning to switch jobs or investing in something?

It might help pay off more of your debt.

I owed nearly 300 million, Dao.

I sold everything, and I still owe 30.

Where would I get money to invest?

Not everyone's lucky like you, unemployed but still supported by family.

I get compared to Nubduen every day that I'm never as good as her.

You call that lucky?

But you've grown.

At least now you can say it if you want to break up with someone.

I had to grow.

After what you said that night,

I had to move on.

I have to go.

You should head back first, Dao.

Why?

It's…

It's just not the right time.

Please go.

I don't want you to struggle through this with me.

It's been 13 days since the Step for Each Life campaign began.

Right now, Toon has reached Nakhon Si Thammarat province.

He's currently suffering from

- his right Achilles tendon injury. - Okay.

- Support your weight properly. - It's visible. He's limping.

- Go up. Okay, that's it. - His pace is slower than usual.

- We continue to cheer him on. - Slow, controlled. All the way.

Higher. All the way up.

Lower slowly, keep your back against the bench.

Okay, two more. Go.

- Motorbike, Bro? - I'm good.

Shame.

TECHNICIAN MING

Still waiting for Dad's letter?

If he cared,

he wouldn't have left us.

We moved.

Maybe he doesn't know where we are.

Maybe that's why he hasn't reached out, Ran.

Let's go inside, Mom.

Team ordered five more clean meals, Mom.

I'll head to the market early tomorrow then.

- I'll go with you. - No need, Ran. You sleep in.

I'm fine, Mom. I'm fit enough to wake up.

PAO WIN WASH LIQUID

- Where should we go? - This one or that one?

Dao, you always disappear when you're in a relationship.

But when you're single, you're always up for hanging out, and whine when we don't.

Find her a boyfriend already. Save us all the trouble.

So, you still haven't met anyone as perfect as your dad?

- I have. He just doesn't want me. - What?

Who?

- Who? - I want to see this idiot's face.

I'll go order some soda.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Who? - Who is it?

- Soda, please. - Well, it's kind of true.

- No, it's not. - Thank you.

Wait.

You're cute. What's your name?

Can I have your LINE?

No? Then can I at least take a picture?

I'm totally single, two kids, one on the way. Interested?

- You smell so good. - Really, you do.

- Your skin is so fair. - What's your name?

- Do you have a girlfriend? - Wanna go home together?

Babe!

You're so cute.

- He's holding my hand, look! - Babe!

- What's your name? - Dao.

I think you'd better go help him. I feel bad.

He really is fair-skinned.

What's up, Love?

Don't give me that. We saw you sitting there for ages.

- You're all friends. - Don't lie.

Not convincing at all.

- Should we kiss to prove it? - Bitch.

You only call me "Babe" for things like this.

- Wow. - Damn.

You two should really date.

- Yeah. - Totally.

Every time you're in trouble, he jumps in. When you're in trouble, she jumps in too.

You guys should just date.

What's wrong?

- Nothing. - Nothing.

Everyone, this is Phaprae, my girlfriend.

Phaprae, these are my friends,

Ran, Dao, Kae, and Ning.

Hi everyone. Zen talks about you all the time.

What did he say?

- Take a seat, come on. - Sit down, please.

- Excuse me, is anyone sitting here? - Nope.

- What would you like to drink? - Phaprae doesn't drink.

Water is fine.

Perfect!

Healthy lifestyles are trending now.

I was thinking of joining Toon's running campaign too.

You don't have to follow every trend, man.

So, how's crypto going?

Right now, my portfolio's to the moon.

- Then sell it already! - No way.

Someone like me would never sell too early.

I'm waiting for it to hit Mars, then I'll sell.

And from now on, you all have to call me Boss Kae.

How about that?

Next time you bring your girlfriend, give us a heads-up.

Ning means so we can reserve a bigger table.

- Yeah, it's kinda tight. - Exactly.

- This table is too small. - Yes.

We all have to squeeze in.

If your friends aren't comfortable, I can just leave.

Where are you going, Phaprae?

Your friends clearly don't welcome me here.

I do. I welcome you!

I welcome her, I welcome her…

- I welcome her. - Ning!

What are you doing?

I read that if you have to do something you don't like,

you should say it out loud over and over to convince your brain.

So it sinks in.

I welcome her, I welcome her, I welcome her.

- I welcome her. I welcome her! - Ning!

Calm down.

Well, go wait for me outside, okay?

- I'll be right out. - Alright.

Goodbye.

What is wrong with you, Ning? What do you have against her?

- I just don't like her. - But you moved on before I did.

You posted your boyfriend. I stayed quiet.

If you're going to act like this, maybe I just won't come anymore.

- Zen! - Zen!

Let me handle this.

Zen! Zen!

I'm going to the bathroom.

Party's over.

Now what?

Ning was crying like that…

because she doesn't really have a new guy, right?

She's faking it.

See this pic? That's my hand.

NINGZAAB THE MEAL IS BETTER BECAUSE OF SOMEONE

And this one? She took a selfie.

Both of her hands are in the shot.

How did she take that selfie?

She wanted Zen to think she was seeing someone new,

so he'd regret it and come crawling back.

Why do girls always overthink everything?

No, guys are just too simple.

If he still loves her, why doesn't he go back?

Because he doesn't know Ning still loves him.

If they had just talked honestly, this could have ended well.

Not always. Sometimes talking doesn't fix anything either.

But now that I think about it,

if we had dated back then,

we might've ended up like Ning and Zen too.

If you don't want to lose a friend,

don't date one.

Right?

So, what's this new job of yours?

Creative. Event marketing.

Why not apply to an animation studio?

Since you're switching anyway.

How else are you going to become a cartoonist?

Don't you still want to chase your dream?

I do.

But I've gotta survive first.

If I become a broke artist, Mom will chew me out again.

So you're just scared of getting scolded? When are you going to chase your dream?

When we were kids,

didn't you always say we should follow our dreams?

Just admit that you're scared.

And I told you to draw me,

when are you going to do it? I've been saying it for almost ten years.

What?

Never mind.

Let's go home.

You're drunk. I'll drive.

You drank too.

I switched to water.

- But you drank at the bar. - You drank more.

I can drive myself.

No, look at you.

I'll grab it.

You're too slow.

Dao?

Crap.

Where is it?

It's right here.

Where?

Here.

What is this?

Let's go.

This is your fault, Ran.

Dao!

Don't.

I warned you.

That's enough.

It's cold.

You've watched too many dramas.

So do you want it or not?

Fine.

It's your fault, Ran.

I can't help.

INVOICE

Now go change your clothes. We're biking at the park.

Are you asleep?

Already.

His name is Mr. Stone Face.

Does he look like you?

But the real one's more handsome.

Ugh.

LOVE YOU, MUAH!

LOVE YOU, MUAH! - GOOD NIGHT

Ran, that campaign your team did for the app

generated the highest sales in the past two months.

- Bonus! Bonus! - Bonus! Bonus!

Calm down.

Let's just say, end of year, everyone's getting one.

- Well, Aun. - Yes?

- Our team came up with a new campaign. - What is it?

I noticed the 11.11 Singles' Day sale

worked really well.

So I thought…

why not do it every month?

1.1, 2.2, 3.3, and so on.

That's a good idea. It could boost sales every month.

But we'll need to check with sellers

to make sure they can restock fast enough.

If we can pull it off,

we'll be the leader in Thai e-commerce.

Easy for you to say.

You just think, you don't execute.

SHOP+

Ran,

you are…

definitely the company MVP.

No wonder you're Add On's heir.

You're always thinking outside the box.

I loved your dad's magazine, by the way.

Alright, let's get to work. We need to be ready for 12.12.

Ran,

go talk to the app development team.

On it.

Excuse me.

Which desk is Ms. Mira's?

All the way to the back.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

You were peeking, weren't you?

Nothing.

Ran, right?

- Yes. - Aun called and told me

to help design a campaign for you.

You bought this for me?

No, it was buy-one-get-one-free.

Have a seat.

Your campaign is quite impressive.

It caused chaos across the whole company.

Was that a compliment?

Your work is clean too.

Modern, user-friendly.

Of course it is.

I saw the rough concept for your campaign already.

But I think it could use a bit more detail.

I'll try to find some references for you.

You like biking too?

Back in school, I was in the cycling club.

I like it because it's something you can do alone.

Can I get your LINE?

Just for work, not hitting on you.

Mr. Stone Face.

He's kinda funny. Just launched a few days ago.

Yeah. The creator is my friend.

- Really? - Yes.

I didn't expect people to actually download it.

Sure, I'll get that right away.

One iced caramel macchiato,

less sweet, add syrup.

One green tea frappe, no whipped cream. One iced mocha

with low-fat milk. Two Americanos. Two double chocolates.

Sorry, can you repeat that? I didn't catch it all.

Sure. One caramel macchiato, less sweet, add syrup.

One green tea frappe, no whipped cream.

One iced mocha with low-fat milk.

Two Americanos. Two double chocolates.

Please hurry, my clients are almost here.

Got it.

- That'll be 960 baht. - Okay.

Ten…

Not enough.

You can pay via PromptPay.

What's that?

It's a QR payment system linked to your bank.

Do you have a banking app yet?

You can download and register first.

Then just scan right here.

Okay.

Are you almost done?

I'm sorry. I need to download the bank app first, right?

I'll pay for it.

Then please add one hot Americano.

Sure.

- Thank you. - That'll be 1,020 baht.

Alright.

All set.

All set.

Please wait over there.

Thank you so much.

Will you be here long?

My office is nearby. I can bring you the cash.

You can just give it back next time.

Next time?

If we meet again, we'll call it destiny.

I'm so embarrassed.

I only had a hundred baht on me.

And everyone was waiting. I didn't even know what PromptPay was.

I didn't know how to use it.

- Oh. - Poor thing.

You've only been here two weeks, and you've already made quite the impression.

On your first day, you took the CEO's parking spot.

Then the week after, you broke the copier.

Aun…

And the guy who paid for you, was he cute?

- Was he? - Was he?

He was okay.

If I wasn't in a rush, I'd have asked him to teach me how to use PromptPay.

- Whoa! - You're--

Everyone,

this is Mr. Ken, the owner of KD Property.

He's hired us to launch his new condo project.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello, everyone.

- Please, have a seat, Mr. Ken. - Sure.

That's the guy.

You should ask him to teach you PromptPay.

He's so handsome.

- Fare please. - Here you go.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Just take this.

Thank you.

The fare is seven baht, and you gave him 500?

I didn't know.

You've never ridden the bus?

I always go with my parents.

If I'm alone, I take a taxi.

Whoa, spoiled rich kid.

- I'm not a rich kid! - You get mad so easily.

That's a spoiled rich kid.

But don't worry. I'll teach you.

In case you ever become a fallen rich kid. You'll survive just fine.

Focus on your form.

Go down slowly. Okay.

Stretch. You feel it?

Three more.

Okay. Go all the way.

You're awesome, Ran.

Since I started training with you, I've gotten so much fitter.

If you add some cardio, you'll be even more toned.

Really? I'm in.

I'll order clean meals from your mom too.

Alright. Thank you.

- See you, Bro. Thank you. - See you.

Oh, Mira?

Can you check if this UI design looks okay?

Don't worry, just send it to me next time.

I wanted comments right away, so I can fix it.

Alright.

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

I'm waiting for the half-price deals at the mall at 9:00.

So you're the one who keeps snatching the deals from me.

You like to go there too?

I've actually thought about this.

if there was an app that gathered all the half-price items from restaurants,

- it would be awesome. - Yeah, so people could buy cheap.

And restaurants wouldn't waste food.

Exactly.

It's almost 9:00. Want to go together?

Let's do it.

Thank you to the whole Beyond team.

Today's launch was perfect. We exceeded our condo sales target.

I'll book you for my next project too.

You mean for work or dating?

Either way, our schedule's open for you, Mr. Ken.

Right, Dao?

Yes.

For work, everyone. For work.

But if it's dating, I won't say no.

What about me?

You're pretty good at drinking wine. Can you still drive?

No worries. I've already called a friend to come drive me.

A friend?

A friend.

You can head back first, Mr. Ken.

My friend should be here soon.

It's okay. I just wanted to spend a bit more time with you.

Now that there's no work talk, can I still message you?

I tend to reply in my head.

What does that mean?

I read the message and respond in my head.

But then work pops up, and I forget to actually reply.

Oh, I see.

DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?

I wish I could live inside your head, so I'd know what your reply was.

Dao!

Be careful.

Dao!

Drink this and sober up.

Thanks.

This is Mr. Ken, my client.

And this is Ran, my friend.

- Where are the car keys? - In the bag.

He's just a friend.

- Right. - Let's go, Dao.

- See you. - Okay.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Go.

Text me when you get home.

I promise I won't just reply in my head.

- Okay. - Dao.

Let's go. Be careful.

- Where's the car? - Over there.

- No, that way. - Are you sure?

This way.

Mr. Ken is smart, polite, and kind.

Everyone at the office is totally obsessed with him.

And he's single too.

How is someone that good still single?

Well, I'm good and I'm still single.

Is it like, or obsession?

Let me stop for some food real quick.

For the people at the office.

Okay.

Why didn't you say you were at work? I could have gone back on my own.

- In this condition? - Right.

You'd definitely puke in a cab.

- You're looking down on me? - Yup.

Don't sit there.

It's dirty.

Mr. Ken is pretty handsome.

- You okay? - I'm fine.

I told you to wait in the car.

I wanted to see what your office looked like.

- Alright, come on. - What?

Walk properly.

- Where's your desk? - Be careful. Here. Careful.

- Ouch! - Be careful!

Dao, be careful. Sit here first.

Sit here.

Dao, this is Mira.

Mira, this is Dao.

She made the Mr. Stone Face stickers.

I love your drawing style.

Every pose is hilarious. So blank-faced, but the emotion comes through clearly.

Make a suspicious face!

Does it look like him? There! The real Mr. Stone Face!

Dao!

Really?

I got your favorite pork dumplings.

It'll help you stay up.

But I'll need to drop Dao off first.

Do you wanna go together?

It's fine. I've got a flow going.

If we can make it happen,

you will be debt-free in less than three years.

Then I'll get back to it.

Let's go.

- What are you two working on? - Dao.

Let's go home, Dao.

- Let's go home. - Why? I want to know what you're doing.

It could clear your debt.

It's our secret project.

What kind of project?

A food delivery app,

but with a special feature.

Restaurants can list discounted food before closing.

So people get cheap meals.

But that sounds tough to pull off.

Ran and I are ready for that.

We're in this together.

Oh, really?

I'll take Dao home now.

It's okay. Chatting with Ms. Mira is fun.

Oh, you like biking too?

- You do too? - Of course.

Ran and I used to ride together a lot.

But now he doesn't have much time.

Maybe you could ask him.

He might make time for you.

That's enough, Dao. Let's go.

What's the rush?

Believe me, Ran doesn't open up to people easily.

- So this means he's opened up to you. - Dao.

If you ride bikes together…

- Dao. - You'll get even closer.

- He always says "Better Together." - Dao, I said enough!

Mira's single, right? Just ask her out.

She's your type, driven, serious, mature.

- The total opposite of me. - What are you trying to do, Dao?

Help you find a girlfriend.

Her eyes sparkle when she talks to you.

She definitely likes you.

- And you like her too. - I don't feel that way about her.

You don't feel it, or don't realize it yet?

You know she likes biking, you know what she likes to eat,

and you even told her about your family debt.

If that's not liking someone, what is?

It's called friendship.

Don't give me that. If you don't have the guts to ask her, I will.

Stop playing matchmaker.

It's nonsense.

What? I have good intentions. I want someone to help you figure things out.

So you're not thinking about debt all the time. You never live your life.

- I want you to smile. Is that so wrong? - Yes, it is!

How can I smile?

I have 30 million in debt.

I have a mom to take care of.

And I told you already.

I don't want anyone to suffer with me.

No.

You didn't say you didn't want anyone to suffer with you.

You said you didn't want me to suffer with you.

But today, you let her walk with you through it. That means you like her.

- No, it doesn't. - Yes, it does.

Stop running from the truth.

If you keep doing that, you're no different from your father.

I'm not like him.

Ran.

Ran, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to.

I just care about you, that's all.

If you're saying you can say anything you want because you care,

then you shouldn't be mad at your mom.

What does my mom have to do with this?

She always compares you to Nubduen

because she cares.

But you've never accepted that.

You left home to work

just to run away from your problems.

So that's what you've always thought about me.

I have good intentions, just like you do.

And about a relationship,

if you want one, go for it.

Mr. Ken clearly has a thing for you too.

Next time you're drunk,

don't call me.

Have that Mr. Ken drive you.

Fine.

Then from now on, I won't bother you again.

I won't ask for help.

I won't interfere in your life anymore.

I'm sober. I'll drive myself home. Hand me the keys.

Give me the keys!

And you too, don't interfere in my life anymore either.

You're amazing, Sweetie.

Nubduen, my brilliant girl.

Our restaurant is famous now.

- Yes. - What's going on?

- What's happening? - Grandma, come look!

Our restaurant got invited to the Michelin event.

Oh wow!

That's amazing, my dear.

Mom, look. We've been running this place for so long.

If it weren't for Nubduen, we wouldn't have come this far, right Mom?

If we win an award,

I'm putting it right here.

- I've already picked the spot. - She even thought about it?

Right at the entrance?

- Right at the entrance. - Yeah, yeah.

Shouldn't you expand the place now, Nubduen?

No way, Dao.

We're already exhausted.

If you want your sister to expand the restaurant,

then come help her.

Mom…

I'm serious.

- Quit your job and come help here. - Morn.

Why, Mom?

Think about it. You and I

built this place together.

Instead of helping grow the family business like Nubduen,

she keeps switching jobs,

no stability.

- I'm only saying this because I care. - Sure, you care.

But say it nicely.

What did I say that was so wrong?

The job she's doing has no future.

In your eyes, is my life really that bad?

If Dad were here, he'd understand me better than this.

If your dad was so great, he wouldn't have left you and me like this.

- He didn't leave. He died in a car crash! - What do you know?

- Enough. - Mom, please. That's enough.

Don't fight.

No fighting, okay?

I don't want to argue, Grandma.

But Mom is being unreasonable.

She insulted me and Dad too.

Why?

- I'm not allowed to talk about your dad? - Mom.

Morn.

Mom.

Listen, Dao.

Trust me.

Quit your job and become your sister's assistant.

Maybe then you'll find some success. At least half of what she's achieved.

No.

No matter how much I succeed…

- It'll never be enough for you. - Dao!

Dao. Dao.

Dao.

Dao.

Duen.

You're amazing in my eyes.

But ever since I was a kid,

everyone's always called me Nubduen's sister.

No one calls me by my name.

I can ignore other people,

but this is Mom.

- What about me? - Dao.

- Dao. - Dao.

- Dao! - Enough.

Mom.

Dao.

I'm coming in now, okay?

There, there.

No, come on, little one.

Don't cry.

Your mom's just like that. Don't take it to heart.

Okay?

I miss Dad, Grandma.

Being a mom is hard, sweetheart.

The things she does,

the things she thinks about,

are meant to protect you.

Sometimes…

it's hard to explain.

You don't have to make excuses for her, Grandma.

No matter what, I've never been the daughter she's proud of.

Don't think like that. It's not true.

Don't think like that, Dao.

Please.

My little girl.

Why are you drawing when exams are coming up?

Why aren't you studying?

I already studied for three hours. I'm just taking a break.

All you do is draw these silly cartoons.

What are you gonna do with your life?

Oh, Mira. What's up?

You're quitting at the end of the month?

Yeah.

I've thought it through.

I still have some investment money left.

I'm 25 now. If I want to retire at 45, I have to start now.

I have 20 years. We have to make this app happen.

Wow

Ran, let's do it together.

I can't quit.

- And the investment money… - I get it.

I know you have a lot of pressure on you.

But what I really need from you

is this.

How about this? At first, you're just a silent partner.

Once the app takes off,

you can come on board full-time.

We'll be business partners.

Thank you, Mira.

Don't leave me behind.

Fine.

Then from now on, I won't bother you again.

I won't ask for help. I won't interfere in your life anymore.

I'm sober. I'll drive myself home. Hand me the keys.

Give me the keys!

And you too, don't interfere in my life anymore either.

Toon has arrived. Today, he made the hand gesture of the "Step for Each Life,"

raising his hand to the sky,

wearing a white shirt with the campaign logo…

- He arrived! - Nice.

Dao, do you wanna go celebrate Toon together?

Or are you waiting for someone to pick you up for Christmas?

No. I just don't want to go home yet.

Is everything okay, Dao?

You've looked down all day.

Did you have a fight with Mr. Ken?

No.

Whatever it is, take it easy. I'll head out first.

Let's go.

Bye, Dao.

- Bye-bye. - See you.

Hurry. Hurry.

Wanna go check the front of the alley?

No matter how much I succeed…

- It'll never be enough for you. - Dao!

Dao.

RAN

Then from now on, I won't bother you again.

I won't ask for help.

I won't interfere in your life anymore.

I'm sober. I'll drive myself home. Hand me the keys.

Give me the keys!

RAN

It's been a long day at work.

Drink this. It'll refresh you.

We were chatting on LINE today,

but you were kind of distant.

Is something wrong?

I just have a lot on my mind.

Dao.

I know we haven't known each other long.

But if I'm not just imagining things,

I think we really get along.

And I'd be really happy

if you thought of me first when something's bothering you.

It's a family issue.

Been building up for a while.

I don't even know where to start.

I've got all night.

So, for the food delivery app,

most platforms take 30 to 32 percent from the restaurant.

That's why food on the apps costs more.

If we want our app to have prices similar to dining in,

we'll need revenue from elsewhere.

Sorry.

Duen's restaurant got listed in the Michelin Guide!

So cool.

- Can we eat there for free, Dao? - Greedy.

I'll take Phaprae to dine there.

Ning, don't leave the group yet.

Dao, Ran, where are you? Come help!

Ran's here.

Where's Dao?

Please come in.

Ran.

Is Dao with you?

No, Grandma.

What's wrong?

She fought with her mom yesterday.

It was intense.

Dao was crying, Ran.

And she still hasn't come home.

I'll go look for her.

I'll call you back, Grandma.

RAN - HOME

His name is Mr. Stone Face.

HIS NAME IS MR. STONE FACE.

Does he look like you?

Look alike?

Alright.

Remember when I found out about Dad?

And I told you that…

What are you trying to say, Ran?

If I let you go,

you won't survive.

Hello, are you Ms. Mira?

Is something wrong?

Ran, what's wrong with my daughter?
