I'll show you
that I'll support you in everything.

I'll try talking to my dad
about Mouse Mart.

I think it's going to be tough.
It could lead to a lawsuit.

And what about her? Splitting up?

She's staying here with me.

Are you free today?

What do you want to hire me to do?

Renovate the store.

MAEWNAM SERVICE

CHUM-LAE GROCERY

Do you want to take yours off to wash too?

Have you been up long?

Yeah.

Long enough to secretly watch you sleep.

Hey, it turns out that
I didn't get to wash my clothes.

Wan, you're so beautiful.

You're beautiful too.

Wan.

Am I still your awesome person?

Of course.

You still are, and you always will be.

MAEWNAM SERVICE

Are you here to shop?

I'm sorry, we just opened.

Please come in.

How many years has this store been open?

Oh, I just took over from my dad.

All in all, it's been around 30 years.

Pretty long, huh?

Wan, this outfit is so cute.

Mom…

Wan, this is my mom.

Oh! Hello.

Would you like something to drink?
Or have you eaten already?

- I can--
- It's fine, thanks.

I'm taking Maewnam out.

Thank you.

You're not eating?

Have a little.

You might lose your appetite after this.

Just say what you came to say, Mom.

Have you been there since last night?
Or just this morning?

Judging by how you talked,
it's probably since last night, right?

You didn't tell me you were coming.

I wasn't planning to see you.

I was checking out the new branch nearby.

I saw your bike parked there.

So who is she? Where's she from?

Wan took over her dad's grocery store.

She used to be a secretary
at a Japanese company.

She's good-looking. She doesn't seem
like the type to run a grocery store.

Why would you say that, Mom?

Grocery stores are a sunset business now.

I know.

But plenty of them are still doing fine.

No wonder you went and told Dad
to cancel the lease.

You finished talking to him already?

Yes.

Please excuse me for now.

Goodbye.

What were you two talking about?

She walked out looking so tense.

She wants me to cancel
the new branch lease,

but I told her I can't.

Why would she say that?

She normally doesn't care this much
about Mouse Mart.

She said the nearby grocery store
will be affected.

Either way, the mart has to open.

I know.

Honestly, I think the best thing is
to encourage her to do something else.

- She could go back to office work.
- Why do you think like that?

So you're really serious about her, huh?

Yes.

I am.

ANNOUNCES WEDDING

Why were you this silly, Wan?

That was a bad first impression.

Right now, you probably don't realize

how exhausting it must be to carry
the weight of taking care of someone.

You don't see yet how much trouble
Mouse Mart could bring

because you still believe love
is an important thing.

But one day in the future,

when your social statuses don't match,

you'll see reality isn't as beautiful
as you think it is.

Wan,

have you eaten?

Not yet. I don't really feel like eating

because I don't know what your mom said.

Did she scold you?

You're overthinking.

It's nothing.

Don't worry.

You can tell me anything. I can take it.

Mom said that Mouse Mart opening here

will definitely cause problems between us.

It might be a problem for my store,

but I'll make sure
it won't be a problem for us.

Okay. I'll believe you.

I'll believe that no matter
how big the problem is,

we'll get through it together.

SOM SALON

Tonnam, what are you doing?

There were a lot of clothes in the basket,
so I went ahead and did the laundry.

And the one with the towels?

I just hung them up a moment ago.

Thank you, sweetie.

Honestly, this isn't your job.

It should be my daughter's.

It's okay. I want to do it.

I already feel grateful that
you're letting me stay here.

Don't worry. Thanks again.

But it'd be even better
if you could go wake Chom up for me.

Is she planning to sleep through
the sun stabbing her eyes?

She's still not up even now.

She mentioned there's a seminar
at the university today.

She's probably up by now.

I'll check.

All right. Thanks, dear.

My daughter is just so lazy.

So? What did she say?

Nothing much, really.

She said I didn't need to do it.

But just do it, babe. Trust me.

She likes hardworking people.

Uh-huh, I remember.

Wake up early,

be attentive,

nod along with everything,

never disagree.

What a perfect next-door girl!

Yeah. Very good.

I'm not going to be around today.
Good luck, babe.

Chom!

Are you up yet? How long are
you planning to sleep your life away?

I'm up!

Good. Go buy some eggs! We're out.

I'll get them, Mom.

Awesome. I'll go with you.

Hurry. I'm cooking!

I remember seeing Dad's income
and expense record book around here.

Where did it go?

It's okay. If you find it, give it to me.

- I'll take a look.
- I'll go check the other side first.

It might be over there.

- I'd like to buy some eggs.
- Sure!

Eh? Maewnam?

What are you doing here?

And why are you dressed like that?

This is my girlfriend's shirt.

This is her store, so I came to help out.

What are you two doing here?

We're just getting eggs. Twenty, please.

Okay!

You two are strolling in
together like this.

- Does that mean Som gave the green light?
- Not officially.

But my chubby bae is doing her part,
acting like a good friend of her daughter.

Mom seems okay so far.

Found it.

Here it is.

Maewnam, I found the record book.

Okay.

This is Wan.

These are my friends, Tonnam and Chompoo.

We teach at the same faculty.

Hello.

Hi, Wan.

I've heard a lot about you
but never had a chance to say hi properly.

I'm sorry about my mom.

She can be a bit of a gossip.

No worries. It's nice.
She keeps me from feeling lonely.

You really are as beautiful
as Maewnam always says.

She keeps complimenting you
on how beautiful you are.

You're even prettier than the photos
she keeps showing off.

Really? Thank you so much.

You're making me blush.

Buying eggs?

I'll throw in a few extras.

- Come on, I'll help.
- Thank you.

- Count how many, okay?
- Babe, go on to campus.

- I'll take these to your mom.
- Okay.

Hey, wait up.

I need your help.

You professors, I need your opinions.

What do you think of the store sign?

CHUM-LAE GROCERY

You made it?

I did.

- Pinky, say it.
- You go ahead, babe.

- What do you think, Pinky?
- You say it.

I mean… it's unique!

It's fine. Your reactions said it all.

Here you go. I added five extra eggs.

Thank you very much.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

- All right.
- Bye-bye.

The sign is kind of pretty.

Yeah, it's… unique.

CHUM-LAE GROCERY

Be careful.

The sign removal ceremony is now complete.

Looking closely,
I think it's kind of terrifying.

But I'll help you redesign it.

Just don't throw this one away.

Huh? Why not?

Why can't I throw it away?

Well,

that paint that dripped

brought some good things with it.

Your top is stained with paint.

You'd better go change your shirt.

Nonsense.

The record book's inside.

- Go take a look.
- Got it.

On it.

Tonnam, did you see Maewnam
at the grocery store earlier?

Yes, I did.

I knew it.

She's probably holed up with Wan.

Do you need anything from Maewnam?

No, not really.

Here you go.

It's just the house has run out of stuff.
I usually ask her to help restock.

But she's clearly in the honeymoon phase.

I don't want to bother her.

I can get it for you.

No need, I feel bad.

Please don't.

Living here makes me feel like
I'm one of your kids.

After we eat, just make a list.
I'll take care of it.

It's okay, really.
I don't want to trouble you.

All right?

Don't worry about it.

Here, paper and pen.

- Just make a list.
- Oh, come on.

- All right. Let me see what we're out of.
- Yes.

You kept pushing, that's why
I'm bothering you with this, you know.

Swipe gently, not too much.

If it's too thin, dip again.

That's right.

Nice and slow.

Careful, careful.

Your work is pretty detailed, sweetie.

If you ever stop being a professor
in the future,

I'll offer you a job at my salon.

- Hi.
- Hello, dear.

I'm away for one day,
and she's already doing your nails?

Not just nails.

She did housework for me all day.

She's quick-witted, efficient, and easy
to work with, unlike you.

I have to nag endlessly
just to get you to move.

Ugh, I can never
do anything right in your eyes.

You're just endlessly complaining.

I have to complain because it's the truth.
You're a mess.

One. Careless.

Two. Slow.

Sweetie, can I ask you something?

Since you're close, teach my daughter
some basic housework skills, will you?

Of course.

If she can't do anything,
how is any guy going to want her?

Oops! You went too far.
My nail's a mess.

I'm sorry.

It's fine. We can wipe it.

We can wipe it. It's fine.

Ugh, this topic again? I don't want to
talk to you anymore. I'm showering.

Fine, go.

But if I don't talk about it,
how will you find anyone?

It's wipeable, sweetie. Don't worry.

Hello, Maewnam?

Wan, come to my dorm.

Why? What happened?

Just come now.

What's going on? Tell me now.

Take your shoes off first.

Come.

What are you doing?

You'll see.

STRATEGIES TO MAKE
YOUR GROCER'S STORE A HIT!

Ahem.

This is Chum-Lae Grocery,

a store that's been part of the community
for over 30 years.

And this is Mouse Mart,

a modern trade or modern convenience store
which has been rapidly expanding,

and is now about to open a new branch
right near Chum-Lae Grocery.

But! Don't panic.

According to our research,

Chum-Lae Grocery
still has several advantages.

Number one. Pack Size.

Selling small portions
tailored to customers' needs.

Chum-Lae has it. Mouse Mart doesn't.

Number two. Free delivery with no minimum.

Chum-Lae offers it. Mouse Mart doesn't.

Number three.
Credit system. The trust system.

Chum-Lae has it. Mouse Mart doesn't.

Number four. Service Mind.
Service with heart.

Chum-Lae has it. Mouse Mart doesn't.

And the final
and most important advantage.

You are the store owner, Wan.

CHUM-LAE GROCERY TRADE MARK

Thank you so much for that presentation,
it really lifted my spirits a lot.

Honestly, I know we can't beat Mouse Mart.

But I'm not giving up.

I get it.

If your sales stay stable,

based on your income and expense records,

and if sales are still steady
after one month of Mouse Mart opening,

then you're good for the long haul.

But I don't think they will stay the same

unless we do something about it.

I'll support whatever you do 100%.

Thanks.

Here.

Honestly, I want to help more,
but your car's condition is a mess.

The engine check light is on,

and I even have to peel
the back sticker off by myself.

I'll have to repaint the car too.

CHUM-LAE GROCERY

Here you go, uncle.

Oh, are you renovating the store?

Yes.

If we're going to compete with Mouse Mart,
we need to upgrade.

Let me know if I can help.

I will. Thank you so much.

Here we go!

Okay. It's just finished.

Okay, let's start painting.

Maewnam, bend down a bit.

Your face is all messy.

You're sweaty.

April is supposed to be hot,

but you're the one who's adorable.

Whoa. Since when did you start
saying stuff like that?

Hello! Mouse Mart is opening soon.
Please check it out.

Lots of products to shop
and choose from, right nearby.

Please check us out!

I'll leave these brochures here, okay?

Tons of promos, giveaways, and discounts!

Please check us out.
Shop smart at Mouse Mart.

Feel free to take a look.
Brochures are right here.

Hello there, please check us out.

Mouse Mart is opening nearby!

Maewnam,
I don't think I have much time left.

You've got this, Wan.

Keep going.

Beep, beep.

How much is this?

I won't tell. Someone already claimed it.

Here.

- Here?
- Yep.

I think the original location
is still the best.

Original?

Having a store like this nearby
really brings development, huh?

But I worry about Wan's grocery store.

Right.

I heard from the neighbors that every time
Mouse Mart opens near a grocery store,

that store dies off.

These big corporations are already rich
but still want more.

They're planning to take it all, huh?

Not even letting
the small shops make a living?

Exactly. So what do we do?

We just don't shop there.
It's as simple as that.

Yeah!

If we all don't shop at Mouse Mart,
Wan's store will survive.

Yeah!

Let them open if they want. We won't go.

Totally!

You're right.

Why couldn't I think of
something this simple?

Can I lie down for a second?

Just a quick nap.

You're hungry?

What's so funny?

Your stomach was growling so loud.

Wan, are you tired?

Not as much as you. You've done so much.

I'm not tired.

For you, babe, this is nothing.

Thank you.

Hungry?

Let's go eat.

Let's go.

My bones cracked.

What happened?

I think I've been lifting stuff all day.

Let's go put on some ointment.

Thank you.

Feeling better?

Feeling better?

All better?

Mm, no more pain.

Mouse Mart opens tomorrow.

Are you ready to fight?

Of course!

Because I've got you, Maewnam,
right by my side.

CHUM-LAE GROCERY

Wow, the renovated store looks amazing!

Wow!

Gosh, Maewnam!

You scared me!

Congrats! You're our very first customer
since the grand reopening,

bigger and better than ever!

Yeah.

But next time,
no need to scream like that.

I'm old, you know.
What if I had a heart attack?

Okay, okay.

Wow, the upgrade really makes
it look more beautiful.

The place looks pleasant and welcoming.

Then you'd better come often.

I'm so happy you came.

- I thought you'd gone off to Mouse Mart.
- What? Mouse Mart? No way.

I'm not going.
I'm sticking with this store.

You always know exactly what I want.

So since it's the start of the month,

that means you want two boxes of shampoo
and conditioner, right?

Exactly.

See? No one knows me like Maewnam Service.

Got it. I'll deliver them
right to your salon.

- Please take care of it for me.
- Sure.

- Yeah. Stop lighting firecrackers, okay?
- Got it.

Please put it on the tab.

- Sure.
- I'll pay later.

- I'll go get some papaya salad first.
- Okay.

Whoa, it looks nice.

- Wan.
- Yeah?

I'm heading out for deliveries.

Ride safe, babe.

Copy that.

Are you sure you can handle it?

Of course.

- Wait for me!
- One pack of sugar for me, Wan.

Sure thing. One moment.

Geez!

The store looks great.

Uncle Lee, Kung,
what would you like today?

- Just two things for me.
- Got it.

ROASTED WATERMELON KERNELS

This machine is pretty good.

- It is.
- It's fast.

That'll be 58 baht.

Here's 42 change.

Here you are. Thank you so much.

Thanks, dear.

- I'm off.
- Okay.

Here you go.

- Do you want a bag?
- No need.

That's 42 baht.

This is 25?

Yes.

But at Mouse Mart, if you buy two tubes,
it's just 20 each.

Can't you match that?

Thank you for shopping at Mouse Mart.
Come again soon!

Hello, please check us out.
New minimart in town!

I'm sorry, I can't.

It's already selling at cost.

I thought grocery stores
were supposed to be cheaper.

I should've just gone to Mouse Mart.

Eh? Where are you going?

I'm going to drop by Mouse Mart for a bit.

Fern, it's still hot. It tastes good.

The filling is really packed in.

I'll order again next time.
It's totally worth it!

What was worth it?

Worth… worth losing your mind, huh?!

You always recommend the worst stuff!
This isn't good at all! Ugh, never again.

- So salty, right?
- Yeah!

Fern, you always upset me.
This month, I'm cutting…

Cutting my hair?

- For what? I'm cutting your salary!
- No!

Here's the cooking oil, Pin.

Yeah. Just leave it inside.

It's tasty. Do you want some?

Two packs of heat-resistant bags, ready.

Maewnam.

You went to Mouse Mart too?

Well, they offered free membership
and a free sausage.

But to make it less awkward,

I bought these too.

Not bad, right?

Is everyone going to Mouse Mart now?

Well, it's new.

People are just curious, that's all.

Hey, you didn't have to
go this far, Tonnam.

You're so hardworking, really.

I saw Maewnam bringing in supplies.

I thought you'd have to use them,
so I'm organizing them for you.

- It'll be easier to grab later.
- Thanks, dear.

Look, I bought a bunch of fish balls
and fried snacks.

Come join me for a bite.

Ooh, what's this?

I bought it for you.

It smells amazing.

Just having it here really changes
the vibe of the salon, doesn't it?

Thanks a lot, sweetheart.

If only Chom had even a fraction
of your motivation…

You always scold your daughter, don't you?

How could I not?

Chom's got zero homemaking skills.

She doesn't fold clothes
or clean her room.

I don't know if the guy she's talking to
knows she can't do any of that.

If he finds out after they get married,
that's a disaster waiting to happen.

Come on, Lady Som.

That's so old-fashioned.

What era are we living in, huh?

Expecting women to do
all the housework is outdated.

Everyone should help each other.

Everyone's working hard these days, right?

I know, but let's be realistic, okay?

No guy wants to be with a woman who
doesn't work and can't manage a household.

They want someone nurturing
and skilled at running the household.

Who would like a woman
who can't do anything like Chom?

If that wasn't true,
she'd have found a husband long ago.

Chompoo might not even like men.

How is it going, neighbor's kid?
Things are going great today, aren't they?

I'm waiting to hear
what you talked to my mom about today.

Babe.

Babe, is something wrong?

Pinky, can you give me a hug?

I'm sorry.

I raised my voice
at your mom earlier today.

I don't know how she's doing right now.

I walked past her just now
and she didn't say a word.

Why, what happened?
Did she say something to you?

I kept hearing her complain about you,

the same things over and over.

She said you're bad at everything.

Hearing that made me feel bad.

She even said…

no guy would ever
want you as a girlfriend.

When I heard that,
my ears just started ringing.

My brain just shut down.

I don't like
hearing her talk about you like that.

I couldn't stand it,

so I blurted out,
"Chompoo might not even like men."

Then she just went silent.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

It's okay. Really, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's totally fine.

Hey, listen,

don't feel bad.

I'm grateful, actually.

You stood up for me,

even though I've never done that for you.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I didn't mean to.
You're not mad at me, right?

Babe,

I think I've made my decision.

Mom.

Tonnam and I are dating.

So, how is it going?

This one's from today,

and this one's from yesterday.

Try pulling this one out.

Our sales have dropped in half.

Wan, I told you that the new store
has just opened.

When something's new, people get excited,

but that excitement doesn't last.

Soon, they'll come back to your store.

Do you think they'll really come back?

Then what if we go to them first?

Let customers know
your store is still here,

a true part of the community,
not just a place that sells stuff.

Whose girlfriend are you again?

You're so smart and cute.

Okay, I'll give it a shot.

Just in case words aren't enough,

here's a little extra.

Aw, you're the cutest.

You're the best.

TOKYO PANCAKES

Thanks a lot.

If you need anything else,
come grab it from my store.

I'll give you more credit than
when my dad was around.

F1, I have a side gig for you.

Interested?

If you bring more than five friends
to Wan's store a day,

I'll give you snack money.

Whoa, where is this place?

Chum-Lae Grocery!

- Is this store owned by a cat?
- Of course, human!

Since I've got a fierce servant,
I'll put her to work!

Recommend me some good snacks, Som.

What do you have in stock anyway?

Don't forget to pay, human!

Come support Som and her servant.

Check the location tagged here!

How is it? Do I sound like Som?

Did you just use her to say
what you really feel?

No! I was just voice-acting
based on vibes.

Okay, okay, I'm posting it now.

But if this flops,
Som is sleeping outside.

That's too much!

TWO WEEKS LATER

Look. It's already been two weeks,

and our sales just keep dropping.

Everyone's choosing to go to Mouse Mart.

We've tried so many things,
but nothing's worked.

There has to be something that will work.

We just haven't found it yet.

Right now,

it feels like we're trying
to break down a wall,

but it won't budge.

I don't even know
what we're doing anymore.

How about this?

Let me try to come up with
some fresh ideas, okay?

I don't think there's any way out of this.

Dad's store is going to go down
in my generation.

Wan,

the store hasn't gone down yet.

We're just facing a storm.

There might be some damage,

but once the storm passes,
we can repair it.

Just don't give up.

And no matter how bad the storm gets,
you'll always have me.

What's going on?!

- Som!
- Are you up already, Som?

I want to shop at Som's place already.

- Som!
- Wait for me.

- Can I go in now?
- Where's Som?

- Please, come inside.
- Som!

Som!

- Geez!
- Where are you, Som?

- May I go through?
- Where's the cat?

- Is that Som over there?
- Let me see.

Right now…

So cute!

- Call Som's name.
- You're so cute!

Maewnam, come to the store now.

There are so many people here. I have
no idea where they're all coming from.

REUSABLE ECO-FRIENDLY BAGS

Wow, the seal is so adorable.

It's super cute.

- Does it suit me?
- Very much!

Wan.

- So many customers are here.
- So many!

That means…

Our store is working!

Ever since you found out that
Tonnam was my girlfriend,

you haven't been acting the same.

Part of the reason Mom is like this
is because of me.

It's fine.

Yay!

Amazing!

You're competing
with a big business like Mouse Mart.

Do you even realize what you're doing?

I just want to keep my dad's store.

I'm not giving it to you.
I'm lending it.

I guess we need a contract then.

But the only paper I'll sign…

is our marriage certificate.
