20 MONTHS LATER

And here we are now,

inside the studio of Miss Nubdao Paitho,

the Thai artist behind

Mr. Stone Face,

the viral art toy

that has taken Asia by storm.

Miss Nubdao,

how do you feel

about your debut collection selling out in every market? Thailand,

Taiwan, Singapore, and China,

within just one hour?

I'm really happy,

and honestly, very excited.

It feels like a dream.

Back then, I used to print Mr. Stone Face on shirts and tote bags.

I was already thrilled when people bought them.

But now that it's become such a popular art toy,

with such great feedback,

it's beyond anything I ever dreamed of.

Come on everyone, follow me. This is it!

The very first collection

of Mr. Stone Face we're talking about

is right here!

Here!

What do you think?

Wow.

And this collection is called…

My Hero.

It's completely sold out now,

so if anyone wants one,

they'll have to wait and see if someone resells it.

Speaking of My Hero,

was the inspiration behind this collection

your personal hero?

Yes.

We've known each other since seventh grade.

We've been through so much together.

He's always been there for me,

so he's like my personal hero.

- Let's play football! - Hey, pass it!

Watch out!

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Hey! How did you guys play so hard?

- Didn't you see her? - Yeah.

Didn't you?

Kicking like that could injure someone.

- Alright, alright, sorry! - Yeah, sorry!

But…

Weren’t you the one who walked in the way?

Still, we're at school.

They shouldn't kick that hard.

Fair point.

Wait.

Do you know where seventh grade, Class Two is?

You're new here?

If I already went to school here, why would I ask?

True enough.

You won't tell me? No manners.

I just helped you.

You didn't even say thank you.

And I was going to take you anyway.

Come on, follow me.

Thanks.

GRADE SEVEN, CLASS TWO

This is Class 7/2.

Thanks. Now you can go back to your own class.

This is my class.

- Come on. - Come on, it's a girl.

- Hanging out with a girl? - Are you flirting?

- Come on. - Come on.

- You're always with a girl! Flirting! - Yeah!

- You're just a kid and already flirting. - Hello, come on in.

- You're always hanging out with a girl! - Come on.

You're always with a girl.

- You're always with a girl. - Whoa.

- Hm? - You're always with a girl.

This seat's empty, right?

I'm Nubdao.

- I'm Paran. - Hey, don't interrupt!

I'm talking to my friend.

You’re cuter smiling than yelling.

Wow,

so you've known each other for 16 years?

Yes.

And for those who don't know.

Miss Nubdao's real-life hero

is the founder

of the Wiman app that everyone's using nowadays.

We can say

they're seriously the perfect match.

Anyway,

will we get to hear any good news soon?

You go inside first.

- I'll carry the stuff in. - Okay.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MY SUPERSTAR

YOUR REWARD IS UPSTAIRS

BET YOU'RE CURIOUS WHAT IT IS

OPEN NOW

RAISE YOUR HANDS, MAKE A HEART SHAPE, THEN…

TURN AROUND

Congratulations, Dao.

Thank you, Ran.

This is our one-of-a-kind Mr. Stone Face secret edition.

The only one in the world.

Isn't he cute?

That's enough,

You dressed up this much, no point in blushing now.

Next collection, make it even better, okay?

If it gets any better,

I'll be wearing nothing.

‪Really?

It's been a while since we went biking like this.

- Here you go. - Thanks, Mom.

We're really lucky everyone came today.

My staff just had to get sick on the day of a big order too.

Ran, your app is doing great.

Your debts are gone.

Why are you still letting your mom work so hard?

I told her to stop.

- She won't. - Let me work.

If I stop, I'll be too lonely.

You know what?

I've got so many new customers and friends now.

Tell Ran you're not doing this to get rich.

You do it for the community.

So when is the new house ready?

It's almost done.

Dao,

I'm going to visit Grandma the day after tomorrow.

I’ve told her for ages I'd bring her some clean food.

I still haven't had a chance.

Thank you, Mom.

Anyway,

how many vaccine doses has everyone had?

Me,

I had my second AstraZeneca shot last week.

Same here, I got two AstraZeneca shots already.

But Dao and Ran

aren't getting their second shot until next week.

My friend was fine with the first dose

but got really sick after the second.

And I have to go to Singapore next week.

Should I reschedule, Ran?

If you reschedule,

who knows when you’ll get another slot?

They might not let you into the country.

Oh, come on, guys.

Don't overthink it.

Vaccinated first, gone first, right?

We're all just lab rats.

Whoa…

Zen's coming.

Hey, stop.

Stop.

Show me your ATK result first.

Everyone sent it except you.

Here you go. I just swabbed in the car.

Honestly, if I'm positive,

you're probably infected too.

Yeah.

Hello, Mom.

- Hello. - Need a hand?

You come when everything's done.

Did you do it on purpose?

Come on, come on, I'll help out.

- It's all done. - It's all done.

Let me wash the dishes then.

Alright, let's get to it.

I told you guys before,

I wanted to ask you guys to restart our Better Together company.

Are you still interested?

My idea is,

besides doing production house work, ads and all,

I'm thinking we also make online content and find sponsors.

But…

why not just focus on our own content entirely?

It's trending right now.

I think we should diversify.

Freelance production work gives guaranteed income.

And I've talked with Ran.

You don't have to quit your day jobs yet.

Ran and I will take care of the early stage.

Once it's stable,

then you can go full-time.

And what about

your Wiman app?

I'll keep running that too.

But our company will be my priority.

Wiman is already solid,

and Mira can handle it.

Ran and I want to do this again

because it's our dream.

And I want to own a company.

So whatever we create, it will be ours.

So? What do you say?

I'm in.

I'll go quit my job tomorrow. I've been bored of it anyway.

Dao just said not to quit yet!

You didn't think that through at all.

I was joking!

But yeah, I'm in.

The pay at my job's good,

but the workload is brutal.

And you guys,

without me managing the finances, you will crash in no time.

But are you just managing the money?

Can't you take care of my life too, Honey?

- Stop joking. - Alright, alright.

I believe in you and Dao.

Lately, I've just been dabbling in NFTs. I'm kind of bored.

So putting money into this with you guys

sounds exciting.

Alright.

Come on.

Wait.

Are we really starting a company?

Nothing is stopping us now?

Just say yes already!

- Of course! - Alright.

- Better Together, yeah! - Better Together, hey!

Is it delicious?

Together really is better.

Of course it is.

Have you tried it?

Yes.

I could go for more.

The chef's amazing.

The sky is clear today.

What are you doing?

Counting stars.

Didn't you know I'm a romantic?

There's a fine line between romantic and cheesy.

- Cheesy? - Yes.

- Cheesy? - Yes.

Cheesy?

Yes.

Cheesy?

Cheesy, huh?

What's wrong?

Stomach ache again?

Yeah, I've been busy all day.

My first meal was just now.

Again?

You'll have gastritis again.

Want to see a doctor?

No need.

I'll be fine after taking medicine.

Really.

I'll grab your meds.

Be right back.

Mom, you don't have to go out and buy things yourself.

Just order through Wiman.

Use the owner's mom's free delivery quota.

Come on,

I've got my own Wiman already.

- Oh. - By the way…

Is Dao staying over tonight?

She said she wanted Massaman curry. I'll make it.

Dao's packing Grandma's stuff, so she's staying at her place tonight.

Has her family said anything

about all this coming and going?

It doesn't look great, you know.

I've talked to her about it many times, Mom.

But we've both been super busy.

And COVID is still uncertain.

Dao just wants things to settle down first.

Still, I'm concerned about what her family thinks.

You better make it official soon.

Don't worry, Mom.

Even if we're not married yet,

I'll always take care of Dao.

I promised Grandma I would.

Alright, you're Grandma's favorite.

Don't let her down.

Of course.

Ran, did you leave home?

Can you pick me up at the studio?

Oh?

You didn't go home last night?

You slept at your desk again?

Yeah, please pick me up at the studio. I'm going to take a shower.

GRANDMA SAMAI INKAEW

BORN: JAN 12, 1948 DIED: AUG 5, 2021

Duen made your favorite pomelo salad today.

And I brewed your bael fruit juice, just the way you used to.

Dao says it tastes just like your recipe.

If you like it or not,

just come let us know.

It's been 100 days.

You haven’t come to see me yet.

If she hasn't shown up, it means she's at peace.

Mom, the lockdown’s been lifted.

Customers can dine in again.

Everyone's been asking about you.

So I told them if they miss you,

come eat your recipes more often.

Look.

See this?

Your favorite braised pork leg.

Eat up, Mom. I won't stop you anymore.

No more worrying about fatty liver.

I guess that makes all this clean food I brought useless.

She'll probably still go for the pork leg.

It's not like that.

Eat all you want, Mom.

THREE MONTHS AGO

Did she bring everything she needs?

Mom, you're going to stay at the hospital.

Whatever the doctor tells you to do, you have to follow it, okay?

No more throwing your meds away like at home.

I won’t be there to remind you every time. They won’t let me in.

I know, I know.

Whoa, going to the hospital's a good thing.

I won't have to listen to your nagging.

And Grandma, don't forget to fully charge your phone.

- I'll call you every day. - Alright.

Ran, please take care of Dao.

She works too hard and barely eats.

She won't listen to anyone.

You’re the only one she listens to.

Yes, Grandma.

Don't worry.

If Dao misbehaves, I'll handle it.

She gets it from her family, Ran.

Jew!

Sorry, Mom.

Grandma…

Come back home soon, okay?

Hey, Duen, don't worry about me.

Worry about baby Dew in your belly instead.

I’ll definitely be back in time for Dew’s birth.

Dew,

don't kick your mom too much, okay?

Yes, Great-Grandma.

I'm going now.

- When you get back, let's go on a trip. - Sure.

Let's go to Korea.

Buy the tickets now!

- I'm going now. - Get well soon, Grandma!

- Alright. - Take care, Mom.

- Don't be stubborn with the doctors. - Get well soon.

Please take care of her, Nurse.

Ugh, so much incense smoke…

But in this photo,

Grandma's smile is so sweet.

GRANDMA SAMAI INKAEW

Yes,

Duen took this photo.

I bought her this shirt.

When I gave it to her,

she complained about the price,

but she couldn’t stop smiling.

Mom…

I…

I really miss you.

If I’d known it would turn out like this,

I wouldn't have argued with you.

I would have let you eat anything you wanted.

I would have taken you everywhere you wanted to go.

I wouldn't have gone against you at all.

It's my fault. I wasn't a good daughter.

I couldn't even take care of you.

How could I let you get sick?

This incense smoke…

Grandma…

If you're really there…

Please watch over Dew for me.

Take care of him for me.

DEW JANSEUBTAEW

BORN: AUG 20, 2021 DIED: AUG 20, 2021

Poor Duen and Jew.

Duan doesn't seem to have accepted it yet.

It's not easy.

COVID really turned my whole life upside down.

With Grandma, and the restaurant,

and Mom and Duan having to handle all the deliveries non-stop.

If Duen hadn't worked so hard,

she wouldn't have collapsed.

Who would have thought?

We work so hard to build a family,

but end up never even getting to be with our child.

Ran, don't dwell on it too much.

What happened to Duen was an accident.

And Mira gave birth prematurely.

That was from overworking too.

Just wait and see.

If you get pregnant,

I'll have you resting the whole time.

Oh please, you'll give me bedsores before I give birth.

You're stubborn.

Take a cute one.

- This angle? - Alright.

- Aw, it's so cute! - See?

Let's get a portrait too.

- Here. - Gosh, so cute.

Take one with me.

Show it off.

Smile for the camera.

How can he smile? He's Mr. Stone Face.

He can.

Three, two, one.

Again. One…

What's wrong? Why are you crying?

It’s okay. Don’t cry.

Don't cry.

There, there.

- What happened? - Just a second.

Can you tell me what's wrong?

It's alright now, okay?

It's alright.

- Can you tell me why you're crying? - Look.

Isn't he cute?

His name is Mr. Stone Face.

You know him?

He looks just like you.

He does!

But this little guy can help you out too.

Why don't you tell Mr. Stone Face

why you're crying?

Daddy… I don't know where my daddy is…

- Oh… - Okay.

You got separated from your dad, right?

It's okay.

I'll go help find him for you.

You stay here with Dao, okay?

I'll go look for your dad.

No. Don't go.

Then you stay here with her.

I will go tell the security guard to look for her dad.

Don't worry. Your dad will be here soon.

Don't worry.

You know what? Mr. Stone Face can fly too.

See this little bird here?

No more tears, okay?

Let's take a picture.

Three, two, one.

Do you like it?

So pretty.

Just like a princess!

Princess Ing-Ing.

Can you make a crown for Mr. Stone Face too?

For Mr. Stone Face?

Oh.

You want him

- to wear a crown like yours? - Yes.

Alright, I'll make one for him. Just a sec, okay?

Ing-Ing!

- Daddy! - My little girl.

Ing-Ing!

How did you get here, Sweetie?

Daddy's been looking all over for you.

- Thank you, thank you! - No problem.

Let's go home, Sweetheart.

Just a moment.

I've finished it

Do you want it?

I'm giving it to you.

Are you sure that's okay?

I heard this one is really rare.

It's fine. I think we can find another one.

- Thank you so much. Say thank you. - Thank you

- Thank you. Thank you - Thank you

Let's go home, Sweetie.

Are you thinking about her?

If she was still here,

she'd probably be able to walk by now.

Come on,

let's go home.

Dao?

Dao.

Are you alright?

I don't know what's wrong lately.

I keep having stomach pains and vomiting.

Could it be…

Dao hasn't had her period since last month, right?

- Yes - It must be that.

Wow.

Dao, how did it go?

Three brands. Not a single positive.

Oh.

Oh.

It's okay.

It will come eventually.

But if you're not pregnant,

then what's causing the nausea

and vomiting?

Maybe it's just stress.

Please make sure you rest well, okay?

Let's go see a doctor.

You're free today, right?

Let's go to the hospital.

I can't.

I've got an online meeting with China.

I'll go another day.

Are you sure?

Okay.

Today, when you found out I wasn't pregnant,

were you disappointed?

No.

If we had one now, it would be chaotic.

We're both busy with work.

If we did have one,

would you want a boy or a girl?

If it's a boy,

he'd be handsome like his dad.

If it's a girl,

she'd be stubborn like her mom.

You always blame me for the bad traits.

Is it wrong?

What are you doing?

Drawing Mr. Stone Face, narcissistic version

Hey, give it to me.

- Give it. - What?

- I haven't even started. - Then don't start

- That's too much. - Nope.

- I'm not giving it. - Dao.

Dao.

You think I'm obsessed with myself?

Yes.

Aren't you obsessed with me too?

I've been obsessed for a long time.

I want to marry Dao already!

- Damn. - Whoa.

That's what I'm talking about! Finally!

We've been rooting for you two forever.

Get married at Mew's hotel. I'll close the whole place for you.

Hold on.

Isn't your girlfriend's hotel still being used as a COVID isolation facility?

Yeah, I'll kick everyone out.

Hey, what about you and Dao?

Didn't you say you would wait a while? Why the sudden change of heart?

I don't want to wait anymore.

I want to be with Dao every day.

She's going to Singapore.

She'll be back next week.

I'm going to surprise her with a proposal.

Good.

You two will be the most enviable couple in our class.

I'll put Bitcoin in your wedding envelope.

Hey, Ning's calling.

Hey.

Don't tell Ning about this yet.

If she knows,

the whole world knows.

You want me to lie to Ning?

Yes.

Yes, Babe?

I went downstairs to get coffee,

I'll be back soon to continue work.

You want my camera on?

Sure, sure.

Oh, something's wrong with my phone.

the camera won't turn on.

Hello? Ning?

Babe? Sweetie? Ning?

Ran, you bastard.

You know why Ning agreed to get back with me?

She made me promise to never lie again.

It's her trauma.

You've ruined everything.

All I said was,

don't tell Ning that I'm going to propose to Dao.

- Not that you saw us. - Exactly.

Just say you had dinner with us and didn't talk about anything.

That's it, problem solved.

- Yes. - Yes.

Okay, I'll try again.

It's too late.

Shit.

I'm dead if Ning finds out I lied.

I'm so dead.

Hey.

Come on.

Once the surprise is out, she'll forgive you.

- Don't overthink it. - Yeah.

Afraid of your wife, huh?

Babe, I'm back.

Oh?

I got you so many of your favorite foods.

Really? I actually prepared a lot of food too.

I even got your favorite! I'll plate it for you.

It's alright.

Here, put this down first.

This is your favorite steamed beef curry.

Well, I made your favorite dishes too.

- Really? - You'll definitely love them.

- Come see. - Let's see.

Shrimp Tom Yum, spicy basil with shrimp,

soy-marinated shrimp, curry stir-fried shrimp.

Pick whatever you want.

I'm dead.

I'm allergic to shrimp, remember?

Then go eat outside.

You love going out anyway.

You were out all afternoon at a café.

Who were you with? A girl?

It's not that I went out with a girl…

Then why keep the camera off? Hiding something?

Didn't you promise to never lie?

The camera really wasn't working.

Ning, what are you doing?

Oh.

Looks like the camera's fine now.

- Ning, what are you doing? - Eat it.

- Babe. - Eat it.

- Babe. - Eat it.

You know this could kill me?

- Then die! - Ugh!

- Eat it. - Ow! Ow!

- Ouch! - What is it?

My stomach hurts.

Don't think acting sick will work every time.

It really hurts this time.

Ning…

That's enough.

- You really went all in this time. - It really hurts.

I'm not pretending. Help.

Ning. Ouch.

- Where does it hurt? - Right here.

The right side.

Right side?

There's no shrimp,

is there?

Still joking?

Are you so scared of Ning that your appendix burst?

Stop laughing or I'll join in

and tear my stitches.

Okay.

He's alright now.

You should go pack.

You're flying to Singapore tomorrow.

You're famous now.

Wherever Pop Toy opens a branch,

Miss Nubdao must be there to launch it.

If not for COVID,

you'd be traveling the world by now.

Well.

So you're coming back next week, right?

- What time is your flight? - Noon.

So,

you'll probably land

around 2 or 3 p.m.

Hope you get well soon.

Anything you want me to bring back? Just message me.

- Okay. - I'm going now.

Thanks a lot. Bye.

Bye.

Safe travels.

You don't usually pry like this about Dao. What's going on?

Nothing. Nothing.

Really?

Coming back from Singapore next week, right?

What time's the flight again?

So,

around 2 or 3 p.m. right?

Didn't you promise to not lie?

Don't think being near doctors means you can't die.

Ran, my friend…

I'm sorry.

What does Ran have to do with this? Spill it.

Hey Ran,

what did you tell Dao when you didn't pick her up?

I told her I had a meeting.

That's it?

And she believed you?

I'm jealous.

My appendix literally exploded and Ning still didn't believe me.

That's credit difference.

- Babe. - Hmm?

You didn't accidentally tell Dao, right?

What kind of person do you think I am?

Has Dao's plane landed yet?

- One sec, Mom. Let me check the app. - Oh.

You can check on an app now? How convenient.

Yes.

Dao's plane has landed!

Oh really?

Hello, Dao?

What's up, Ning?

Did your plane land?

Of course it did. How else would I answer the phone?

Good point.

Have you picked up your bags yet?

I'm heading to get them now.

Tell Ran I'll be a little late.

I just remembered I have an errand.

Sure, okay.

No rush. We're not doing anything anyway.

So you're at Ran's house now?

Oh…

Well…

We're just catching up on company stuff.

Super chill. Nothing big.

Alright, bye.

Alright.

See now?

This is why I didn't want you to know.

I studied accounting, not acting.

Dao won't suspect a thing.

Let's set up.

Hurry. Dao will be here soon.

Ran, come on.

Hurry up.

I know you wanted to wait until things were more settled.

But I think

just being together

makes everything feel right.

Let's build a family

and grow old together.

Will you marry me, Dao?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Ran.

Ran!

Dao!

Dao!

Dao!

Dao!

What's wrong, Dao?

Dao!

Open the door! Hurry!

Before she went to Singapore, Ran and Dao were still fine.

Nothing seemed wrong.

I just called a friend at Pop Toy.

They said Dao seemed totally normal during the trip.

No issues.

Could it be that Ran did something to upset her

without realizing it?

Ran isn't like you.

He's never lied to her.

And he cares about her so much.

That feels like a stealth insult.

I heard that.

Or maybe

Dao’s got a serious problem she won’t share?

Not even with Ran?

Dao!

Dao!

Dao!

CHAKRAWET HOSPITAL

What was that driving?!

Dao!

Dao!

The stomach pains and nausea I was feeling

that you told me to see a doctor…

The day I visited Zen,

I stopped by for a checkup.

The doctor wasn't sure,

so they did a scope and biopsy.

And today, after landing,

I went to get the results.

The doctor said

I have colon cancer.

Stage two.

I don't want anyone to worry about me.

I don't want anyone to comfort me. I don't want anyone to give me strength.

I knew everyone would be concerned.

But hearing it

will just remind me that I'm sick.

Dao…

I want to marry you.

But I'm scared.

I don't want to be a burden to you.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

All this time,

we've already learned

that struggling together

is better than fighting alone.

Everyone dies eventually, Dao.

So instead of worrying about the days we won't have,

why don't we make the most of the ones we still do?

It's cancer, Ran.

It's just cancer.

You're stronger than cancer.

Hypnotize yourself.

You will get better.

You will get better.

You will get better.

- You will get better. - I will get better.

- You will get better. - I will get better.

Can you make things feel normal, Ran?

Stop treating me like I'm about to die.

There's a delivery for Mr. Paran.

Are you really okay?

I'm worried about you.

About me?
