I think you have to make a choice.

Do you want to protect her as a bodyguard protecting a VIP

or as someone protecting the love of her life?

Stop!

This is all your fault, Ayla.

You ruined everything for me!

Will you ever see me as anything else?

Not through a bodyguard's eyes, something other than a VIP client.

I'm not exactly the best choice.

Take care of Ms. Ayla for me.

- Yes, Boss. - Got it, Boss.

Has Tawan been really busy lately?

Not really. Why do you ask?

It's just…

She's acting so strange lately.

Like she has something on her mind.

Honestly, what Boss is doing isn't strange at all.

It is!

Do you know she hasn't said a single word to me all day today?

And she's been standing like a whole meter away. She's never done that before.

And lately, she keeps making this dead-serious face,

like some scary elite bodyguard.

Bodyguards have rules they have to follow, just like VIPs do.

Keeping a distance between a VIP and their bodyguard is really important.

Boss probably decided

this is the best way to keep you safe.

Let me help.

It's fine.

How is it fine--

I'm not hungry yet. You eat first.

Why not?

But I ordered exactly what Chanya and Nana suggested.

Look.

TAWAN'S FAVORITE DISHES

NOODLE SOUP, SPAGHETTI…

You're the VIP here.

I'm here to take care of you,

not the other way around.

That's a VIP thing. But here I am…

Ayla, your little sister. I can take care of you too, can't I?

Please, let me look after you like this.

Come on. Just have a bite.

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?

- Jam. - Yes, ma'am.

Hi, everyone! Today, I'll show you how to make

my super spicy stir-fried instant noodles with basil, Ayla's special recipe!

First, boil some water

until it's bubbling.

Then toss in the noodles.

I'll use two packets today. Little girls like us don't eat too much!

Once the noodles are cooked, let's move on to the stir-fry!

When the oil is hot,

add chili and garlic.

Stir until the garlic turns golden

and fragrant.

Then add minced pork.

Cook it through.

When the pork's done, add the noodles.

Finally,

toss in the holy basil leaves.

Once they're in for a bit, you can turn off the heat.

Then plate everything up!

Done! Bye-bye!

Thank you!

Sure! Thank you so much!

That was great.

Thank you so much!

Was that okay?

Good! I really liked it.

Ayla, we're taking a break now.

You can go grab some lunch.

You all go ahead. I'm still full.

Okay, okay.

Ms. Ayla, here's some water.

Thank you.

Nana,

you all go eat first.

I'm full from filming.

I'd like to be alone for a bit.

Okay.

Everyone, take a break. I'll stay with Ms. Ayla.

Yes, Boss.

Hey, you think they're gonna fight?

A bodyguard can't fight a VIP. What are you saying?

I meant the VIP!

Did you see her face? She looked so mad at Boss.

If she dares fight an S-class like Boss, be my guest!

No…

- What now? - Boss might even let her win.

- Our boss? Come on. - Can we go now?

- Go where? - Take a break, duh. Let's go!

Ayla!

- Ayla! - Pete!

I missed you.

I missed you too! How'd you get here?

I live nearby.

And someone told me you were filming here,

so, of course, I came to see you.

Wait. Don't you have work today? How did you sneak away?

I do, but it's in the evening. So, I dropped by first.

Have you met Jay yet?

Jay? Oh, not yet.

- I'll take you to meet him. - Let's go then.

They were just talking about you yesterday, you know.

- Gossiping? - Not gossiping…

- Talking about what? - Just random stuff. Work, money…

It's been so long…

Jay! Kik!

Jay, hi! Kik, Hi!

It's been forever.

- How are you? - Doing well.

Instead of me getting to hug…

Well, well…

That's Pete Pawit.

One of the top singers in Thailand.

Same label as Ms. Ayla.

They even featured together in a song two years ago.

They met when they were trainees.

Who asked?

In case you wanted to know.

Handsome, rich, no scandals.

Fans keep shipping him with everyone.

Even with Ms. Ayla, you know.

Most importantly, he's single.

In case you wanted more info.

I… don't have any info.

Hey, when are you two gonna start dating?

Look at that chemistry!

Yeah! Just go for it!

Well…

If you two start dating, I'll even become a monk!

What? What dating?

Look!

Look at them!

Pete? Oh, there you go again!

You always mess with me like this, making me curious and then not telling me!

Why?

No, I'm not letting this slide.

Send it to me right now!

You better know, the one you're looking at

Won't just fall for your magic like that

You better know, I'm a superstar

If you wanna try You'll have to wait in line

It's not that I'm stuck-up I'm just not that easygoing

Nana!

One, two, three, four.

I'm going to step outside for some air.

Look after Ms. Ayla.

Yes, Boss.

When are you two gonna start dating?

Look at that chemistry!

What dating?

Pete!

Can't sleep…

And what would you like me to do about that?

Can you talk to me for a bit?

Maybe if we keep talking, I'll start to feel sleepy.

Oh, there you go again! You always mess with me like this,

making me curious and then not telling me.

Send it to me right now!

Where's Ayla?

Ms. Ayla asked to speak privately with Mr. Pete.

We've checked the room already. Only one way in and out.

I wanted to stay, but she wouldn't let me.

So, Ms. Ayla is alone with Mr. Pete?

Yes, just the two of them.

How long?

About ten minutes now.

Why didn't you call her?

How could you let her be alone with someone else?

But Boss, they looked really close.

Yeah.

Typhoon,

get the car ready.

We're taking Ms. Ayla home in ten minutes.

Yes, Boss.

I'll head out now.

See you later.

Everyone else, leave.

I need to speak with Ms. Ayla.

Yes, Boss.

Ayla.

Talk to me first.

But this VIP has nothing to discuss with her bodyguard.

If you have something to say, say it quickly.

I don't have much time.

Are you really sure you want to act like this?

Like what?

Like this.

Working so hard to become a superstar,

and then, what if someone snaps a photo and uses it to blackmail you?

Do you really trust people that easily?

And what did I do wrong?

Why are you scolding me?

Sitting on a man's lap. Is that not wrong?

It's not wrong.

And about to kiss him? That's not wrong either?

It's not wrong.

Pete is single. I'm single.

If two single people want to kiss each other, there's nothing wrong with that.

Besides, Pete is a true gentleman.

A gentleman?

You think that's respecting a woman?

Yes.

I trust Pete.

At least he's never hurt me.

Fine.

If you won't listen,

then I can't protect you anymore.

I'm resigning

as your bodyguard, Ms. Ayla.

If you still want to hire my company,

Chanya and Nana will handle your protection.

If not,

I'm ready to terminate the contract

and pay any compensation.

You're going to leave me just like you did eight years ago, aren't you?

Do you know?

Ever since we met again,

I've never dared to ask

why you disappeared back then,

without leaving me any way to contact you.

You acted like you didn't care at all how I felt.

You've been in my heart

since the very first day we met.

When we were kids,

I followed you into that club,

even though I didn't want to join at all.

Do you know how hard it was for me to stay?

But I stayed because you were there.

I was the one who made all those treats for you.

The day after the dance competition,

I was going to confess to you that I loved you.

But you disappeared.

Every single day since then,

I've been chasing my dreams, hoping to meet you again.

I wanted to become famous just to prove to you

that I could do it,

just like we talked about back then.

Khaotu scolded me every single day,

telling me I was crazy, that you'd never come back.

But I didn't give up.

I couldn't stop thinking about you.

I couldn't forget you.

I couldn't stop loving you.

Do you know how happy I was

when I finally found you again?

Do you know how hard I tried

to make you stand beside me again?

And in the end,

you still don't love me.

You only care about those stupid rules.

Even though I love you so much,

you never loved me back.

Never. You've never loved me. Never!

If I say I love you now, would it still be in time?

I love you, Ayla.

I love you so much.

Don't cry.

Your eyes will get all puffy.

I didn't want to cry.

But I can't stop the tears.

Come on.

Show me that smile.

My good girl.

Your smile is so much more beautiful than your tears.

Don't cry, okay?

Can I stay in this hug for an hour?

Of course.

But won't you get sore?

I don't know. I just know that I'm so happy.

I don't ever want to let go.

Can I hug you to make up for the past eight years?

Would just hugging be enough?

What… What do you mean?

I could give you even more than that.

What?

Tawan!

You always mess with me!

Tawan.

Yes?

I have so many things I want to ask you.

So many

that I don't even know where to start.

Then…

how about I start first?

I don't know if you'll believe me.

But I've loved you since we were students.

Huh?

Since we were students?

Cha Nom,

let me tell you something.

I met this girl once.

She was so cute.

I helped her out,

but…

I didn't get her number.

Do you think

I'll ever see her again?

Sit down!

- Too tight? - No.

HELLO

A POWER-UP SNACK! EAT IT AND YOU'LL HAVE LOTS OF ENERGY

I think

Sasina's body isn't strong enough.

If she has to do intense exercises, she probably won't be able to handle it.

Our school has a strong dance club, you know.

I think you should audition.

Kendo might be a bit too intense for you.

- Hey. - Yes?

It's raining outside.

Thank you so much, Tawan!

It's really pouring out there.

Tawan!

You're still here?

I happened to forget my umbrella.

I forgot mine too.

So, you were just looking for an excuse to stay with me, huh?

You hid your umbrella too. I saw you.

Who would pass up a chance to be alone with you?

At that time, I really thought the heavens were helping me out.

No.

It was all us.

You know, I always loved watching you dance the most.

You looked so happy when you danced.

If you loved watching me dance so much,

then why didn't you come cheer me on when I auditioned for the dance club?

Just because you didn't see me doesn't mean I wasn't there.

Can I feel shy right now?

Shy? After all this time?

Well, I'm shy retroactively!

Who would have believed

that the most popular girl in school actually had a crush on me,

nerdy,

glasses-wearing Ayla?

Oh! I want to call Khaotu right now.

Can I tell her? Where's my phone?

Ayla, how about we hold off on that call for now?

I still have so many things I want to tell you.

There's more?

But before I start,

can I ask you something?

Did you keep the teru teru bōzu doll we made together?

Of course.

I've kept it safe. It's in my cabinet at home.

I don't know if you'll believe me…

but I didn't leave

without leaving you a way to contact me.

What?

The teru teru bōzu?

Tell your new owner…

to not forget about Tawan.

Tawan, why did you make it so difficult?

I'm not that smart, you know.

Why didn't you make it easier for me to find it?

When you said

I left you behind,

I guessed then

that you probably never saw it.

All those years, I kept hoping

maybe you'd find it someday and email me.

But as time passed,

I thought

maybe you did see it

and just didn't want to reach out.

That's not true at all.

If I had known,

there's no way I wouldn't have contacted you.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Khaotu.

I believe you.

Back then, it was me who didn't have the courage.

I'm so sorry

for making you wait all this time.

And thank you, Ayla,

for trying so hard,

for bringing me back to stand beside you again.

Should we ambush and take them out now?

If we're going to do it, there must be no evidence.

So, let's be girlfriends?

Tawan…

Yes?

Ayla, I want to do this properly.

When I asked you to protect my daughter,

I meant as her bodyguard.

Not to get that deeply involved.
