Original subtitles

Ayla!

This goes against protocol, you know. Is this really okay?

Something smells fishy.

Right now, your safety is my duty

and my responsibility.

But if you're not happy with the way I'm doing things,

I'm willing to step down.

Tawan, no…

I'm sorry. Eight years without you by my side,

they were so hard.

So, do you think it's weird?

Or just normal?

Weird.

How exactly is it weird?

Have you ever seen Ms. Strict-Everything, like our boss, break protocol like that?

Or maybe Ms. Ayla was being difficult, so she didn't swap…

But no. I think the issue's with our boss.

She literally slept next to her, watching over her all night.

So, what does that make Class-A bodyguards like us?

I feel completely useless.

And this morning?

She kicked all of us out, even though she's still recovering.

That is not normal. I'm telling you.

Oh, come on…

Ms. Ayla's so cute. Maybe the boss is catching feelings?

Let's find out…

Can love and duty

really go hand in hand… hand… hand…?

And with our boss's iron will?

How's this story gonna end… end… end…?

Boss!

Boss, you totally snuck up on us!

Boss, are you hungry?

I can grab you something to eat.

No need.

I'm not hungry.

Don't you all have work to do?

Oh, right.

The motorcycle license plate was a fake.

Our surveillance team is checking other nearby cameras as we speak.

Smooth recovery.

Best survival instincts.

Just a bit.

So, what brings you here?

I came to sign off on payroll.

But I seem to have forgotten my pen.

I guess…

it'll have to wait till next week… week… week…

Boss! Come on!

- Pen! Where's the pen? - Pen!

No, that's a spoon!

- Home. - What?

What's that?

Oh, someone delivered a package for the boss this morning.

I was just taking it to her.

Home.

Let me take it instead.

Okay.

Thanks.

For the boss.

That's pretty, Boss.

Boss,

if there's ever anything on your mind, you can always talk to us.

We're family.

So… We wonder…

Is she making you feel anything?

I swear, it stays between the four of us.

Our lips are sealed. No leaks here.

We've known each other since high school. That's all.

That's all?

Yeah. We hadn't seen each other in years. We're reconnecting because of work.

That's it, purely professional.

Purely?

Exactly.

I took this job, and I intend to do it to the best of my ability.

To your best ability?

Are we done here?

Or do I need to channel my inner Boss Rawee?

Done!

Okay, okay! Done!

- Nana. - I know, enough, Boss

Upload all the data to the system.

Make sure no one bothers her.

Take care of the VIP.

- Yes, Boss. - Copy that, Boss.

CULPRIT

Additional files, Boss.

On it.

Can I play this card?

- The boss is here! Boss, please sit here. - You can play any card.

Boss, please.

Hand me the papaya.

Didn't even get to play my turn.

Smells so nice.

Let the boss play.

Boss, you're on VIP duty.

Exactly, Boss.

We're just doing our job.

So, can we keep playing?

I don't have the spinning card.

- Here! This is the spinning card. - Which one?

This one's correct.

- Correct. Let me find the spinning card. - Your turn.

- Every deck has it. - Ms. Ayla.

Here you go.

Thank you so much!

Please try it and let me know if it's to your taste.

It feels like it's missing something.

- Missing? - I'm not sure…

Chili?

You mean spice?

Exactly!

But it's okay. I can still eat it.

Hold on a sec.

Try this.

This is it! That's the right flavor!

When it's the right person, everything they do turns out right.

Come on…

When it's the right one, everything just clicks.

Right?

But if they're not the one…

like you…

it just doesn't work.

The taste is off.

That bad?

Absolutely. I forced myself to chew for way too long.

But I made it the same way as always!

Maybe it's time for a new method.

Today was so much fun.

Next time, bring me along to hang out with the others again.

You do know they're some

of the top Class-A bodyguards in the business, right?

And you had them playing around like kids.

Come on. It was after-hours.

Even I want to feel like a normal person sometimes.

Oh!

Look at the moon!

The moon is so beautiful tonight.

Can you see the moon, Tawan?

It's getting late.

Let's head home.

Yeah.

Let's go.

The revised security measures will follow your team's recommendations.

If there's anything

you think we should adjust, feel free to let us know.

Our team reviewed it. It all looks good.

Let's proceed with this plan,

unless something else comes up.

Next month, Ayla

has a major concert,

an international event representing Thailand,

alongside artists from over ten countries.

Should we consider

canceling it for her safety?

Please, no. I really want to perform.

I don't want to let my fans down. They've been waiting.

Don't worry, Madam President.

I'll do everything I can

to protect her.

And the attacker?

We're actively working with the investigators right now.

I'm counting on you, Ms. Rawee.

Yes, ma'am.

I want you to know No matter how long I keep it inside

Do you even realize My whole heart is yours?

And every single moment

I long to say this word, love More than you could ever know

- Yam! - Ayla!

You holding up okay, beautiful?

Totally fine.

Looks like you've been practicing hard.

Here.

Something to cheer you on.

Thank you so much.

What brings you here today?

I came to discuss renewing my endorsement deal.

Oh, congrats! You're amazing, sis!

Thanks, little sis.

How long will you be here? If my meeting doesn't run too long, I'll stop by again.

I'll be here late. I've got a blocking rehearsal tonight in the Star Room.

Oh, alright. Good luck with everything!

- See you later! - Okay!

See ya.

TYPHOON

What's up?

I've got info on the person who attacked Ms. Ayla.

I'm hanging up.

I need to use the restroom.

Tawan, that's enough. I can't anymore.

Seriously, I'm fine. It's just the restroom.

Go ahead. I'll wait right here.

No!

I'm having a really bad stomachache.

Got it. Go ahead.

Honestly, I'm just super embarrassed.

You really need to wait outside. I really can't.

So, you want me to wait outside?

Yes, please.

Ayla, are you done yet?

Not yet!

Can you go wait a little further, please?

Ayla?

Are you done yet, Ayla?

Ayla?

Bathroom. Tenth floor. Now.

Boss! Boss, that's enough!

- He's knocked out. - Ms. Ayla!

Ms. Ayla.

There's a needle mark on her arm. Looks like she was injected with something.

It's a sedative.

I found the drug on the attacker.

The attacker probably planned to take photos to ruin Ms. Ayla's reputation.

The attacker's phone is over there.

Typhoon, handle it.

Yes, Boss.

Are you okay?

You're alright?

Come with me.

PRINC HOSPITAL SUVARNABHUMI

I have to apologize to you, Madam President.

What happened

was entirely my fault. I failed to protect Ms. Ayla properly.

But you caught the attacker, didn't you?

And you recovered all the photos and videos before they got out.

Most importantly, Ayla is safe.

You deserve our thanks more than anything.

- But… - If we're looking for someone to blame,

then we're all at fault.

Ayla made a mistake too. She let embarrassment cloud her judgment,

sent you out of the bathroom,

and gave the attacker a chance to approach her.

I'm also to blame, as the head of this company,

for having such weak security

that someone could get into the building

and harm her. We all made mistakes.

Please, stop blaming yourself.

Tomorrow, we can finally put this to rest, right?

Yes.

We have all the evidence we need.

Will Boss be okay? She hasn't moved at all.

She hasn't even eaten dinner.

We called her to eat, but she kept saying she wasn't hungry.

Boss, what are you planning to do about Ms. Ayla?

I think you know exactly

which rules you've already broken, right?

We can't control our feelings,

I get that.

But when bodyguards like us break the rules,

it's the VIP who pays the price.

And I know you're blaming yourself so much

for what happened to Ms. Ayla today.

So…

Let me say this, as family.

I think you're getting careless as a bodyguard, Tawan.

You're indulging your own feelings,

and hers, too much.

That's not the strict, disciplined bodyguard

we've always known.

Honestly,

now I finally understand

why there's a rule forbidding closeness between a VIP and their bodyguard.

Those rules exist to prevent exactly this kind of mistake.

I think you have to make a choice.

What do you want to do for Ms. Ayla?

Do you want to protect her

as a bodyguard protecting a VIP…

or as someone

protecting the love of her life?

I think it's time for you

to make that decision.

I think you have to make a choice.

What do you want to do for Ms. Ayla?

Do you want to protect her

as a bodyguard protecting a VIP…

or as someone

protecting the love of her life?

Ayla…

How are you feeling?

I feel dizzy…

Take it slow, okay?

Let me adjust the bed.

Slowly…

Do you feel pain anywhere else?

It hurts…

My stomach hurts.

I remember

someone grabbed me from behind

and punched me in the stomach.

Then everything went dark.

Did they drug me?

I already checked.

It was just a sedative.

No wonder I feel so dizzy…

The culprit has been caught.

Later this morning,

we'll settle everything officially with the president.

So, you already know who was behind it all, right?

Good morning. We're here to take Ms. Sawitree in

for questioning on assault charges against Ms. Sasina.

Here's the warrant.

I… I didn't do anything.

This isn't true. I swear, I didn't do it.

Come with us to the station, please.

Boss!

Please, don't! Boss!

Boss…

Please help me…

That's enough, Yam.

I never imagined

you could be this cruel.

Boss… Boss…

I didn't do it!

I didn't!

- Take her away. - Please move.

- Stop! - Please move.

This is all your fault, Ayla.

You ruined everything for me!

You came later and stole it all.

Everything!

I hate you!

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this!

No one would compare me.

No one would belittle me, saying I'm not as good as you!

I hate you, Ayla!

- I hate you! - That's enough.

Stop it, Yam!

You have no right to say those things to Ayla.

She did nothing wrong.

She just worked harder and put in more effort than you ever did.

The reason she debuted first,

even though she joined later,

is because she's talented.

Before you envy someone else, look at yourself first.

With your level of skill

and effort?

If your father hadn't begged us to take you in,

no label would have even considered you.

Listen carefully, Yam.

No one ruined you,

except yourself.

All the evidence tying you to the attack on Ayla

is airtight.

Please take her away.

- Please. - Boss…

I didn't do it!

I didn't know anything!

- Boss! - Move.

This way, please.

I still can't believe it was Yam.

You knew for a while?

Yes, for quite some time.

We were waiting to gather undeniable evidence.

Our team would like to install additional surveillance cameras

at key points as detailed.

Ms. Rawee wants to secure extra evidence,

so the suspect can't deny anything later.

But please, keep this strictly confidential.

Of course. We'll fully cooperate.

Bingo!

That's the one, Officer.

Police!

- Don't even think about running! - Hey, stop!

Hands up!

Sit down! Stay still!

Jealousy is terrifying, isn't it?

It burns you from the inside

and ends up hurting everyone around you too.

From now on, we're making changes to your security detail.

I'll be adding Chanya, Nana, and Typhoon full-time.

Adding?

Even after catching the culprit?

Why? Are you planning on leaving me?

I'm not going anywhere.

I'll still be here.

But we can't let our guard down yet.

There are still several threatening letters that Yam didn't send.

For your safety,

let's stick with this plan for now.

If you're staying,

then I have no problem with it.

I promise I'll protect your life with everything I've got,

even if it costs me my own.

Why do you have to say scary things like that?

I'm speaking as your bodyguard.

Hi!

Let me finish eating first, okay? Just a moment.

Of course, take your time, Ms. Ayla.

Tawan!

Cut! Good. That's a wrap. We'll change to the next setup. Ayla can take a break.

Tawan, I had to stand for so long during the shoot just now.

My legs are killing me,

and those heels were so high!

I'll go get you some water.

SANAMDERNPA

Thank you so much.

Tawan, tonight, can we--

I'd like to talk to you about something.

Tawan.

What are you doing?

Why have you suddenly changed?

Did I do something to upset you?

You didn't do anything wrong, Ayla.

I just need to take a step back,

so I can protect you better.

When we get too close,

I lose perspective.

I can't allow myself to make mistakes,

like what happened in the restroom.

But that day, it was my fault.

I was the one who threw a tantrum and forced you out. It wasn't your fault.

No, it was still my fault.

If I hadn't given in,

if I hadn't spoiled you like that,

the attacker wouldn't have had the chance to do something so awful.

We were lucky we caught them in time,

but if we hadn't,

if photos or videos had gotten out,

it would've destroyed you.

You would've been forced to live like a ghost in society.

But in the end, it's over.

I'm safe now.

Nothing got leaked.

You really didn't do anything wrong.

I still take responsibility.

This happened because we knew each other, because we got too close.

I let my feelings cloud my judgment,

spoiled you too much,

and neglected my duty as your bodyguard. I broke the rules.

I can't let something like that ever happen again.

If something happened to you,

I'd never forgive myself.

- But-- - I insist.

This is how it has to be.

It's for the best.

Fine.

If that's what you believe is best, I'll respect it.

But can I ask you one thing?

Is the reason you're keeping your distance from me

because you only see yourself as my bodyguard

and me as your VIP?

But what if you didn't see it that way?

Will you ever see me as anything else?

Not through a bodyguard's eyes.

Something other than a VIP client.

Would it be okay

if I wanted to stand by your side like this forever?

You shouldn't say things like that.

I'm not exactly the best choice.

You're still not really answering my question.

Fine.

If that's really what you want,

I'll follow it.

You can go now.

I don't have anything else to say to you.

It's Tawan.

She's acting so strange lately.

Like she has something

on her mind.

Ayla!

Handsome, rich… Fans keep shipping him with everyone,

even with Ms. Ayla, you know.

Ms. Ayla is alone with Mr. Pete?

Yes, just the two of them.

Ayla, talk to me first.

But this VIP has nothing to discuss with her bodyguard.
