Original subtitles

BASED ON A NOVEL BY DOK MAI SOD

I found a letter in one of the books.

Soon didn't die of an illness.

You made sure Wichai didn't get her letters.

I want him to get his happy ending.

On the 11th of this month,

you must come to my birthday party.

"The person who gives love

is the one who must bear its weight."

This is what it means.

I got the ring. I'm now one step closer to my dream.

Try writing a guidebook about yourself.

It will let Anong know in a subtle way that you're serious about her.

Why did you do this to me?

You did this to get back at me, right?

I meant to teach him a lesson.

Once he hits rock bottom, he'll learn that there's more to life than love.

I plan to propose at the theater.

Will you come with me?

I can't imagine my future

without you in it.

Get a hold of yourself.

Let's get ready, guys.

So, where is Anong?

Anong, stop. Don't come over here.

Too late for that now, Prasit.

Did you do all this for me?

Yes. It's my birthday present to you.

Thank you, Prasit. I really love it.

So you have somewhere private to spend time with your guy.

I…

I know what present he's going to give me.

He secretly tried to get the size

of my ring finger.

Anong! That's…

I'll bring him over here.

This is where I'll confess my love to him.

Anong.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

I have something important to talk to you about.

Well, let's hear it then.

What?

It's a private matter.

You can say it in front of Prasit.

You stood me up today.

Can you make time for me tomorrow?

I want to thank you for working overtime yesterday.

You should get some rest today. I'm giving you a day off.

Thank you.

So about your surprise…

I'll ask Anong to marry me.

Excuse me.

You're a year older.

I wish you happiness

and I hope you make the most of your adult life.

-Thank you, Auntie. -I love you.

-Happy birthday, darling. -Thank you.

Anong.

Happy birthday.

This is my present to you.

Put down any number you want.

Goodness.

-This is a real check. -Of course.

Thank you.

My turn now.

This is all I can give you.

You already have a car.

So I bought you a yacht. The real one will be here soon.

My gosh.

My goodness! Thank you so much!

You're welcome.

I'm getting a yacht.

-It's gorgeous, Anong. -There's my name on it.

What about you, Pong? What did you get your sister?

You'll all see it at the party.

I know what it is.

You must've invited a special guest to the party.

Maybe I'll get a sister-in-law as my present.

-Well, well. Pong. -Pong.

I'm so happy to be having two in-laws soon.

This is huge.

Who is it, Pong?

You'll all get to meet this person at the party.

I'd like to ask you all a favor.

Once I introduce you to my guy,

please be nice to him.

Do not try to chase him away.

Because if I lose this guy, I won't have anyone left.

-Yes, dear. -Okay.

Prepare to say goodbye to your angel who's going to leave you.

Why won't you leave me alone?

You should be proud that Wichai is a respectable judge.

A judge isn't a wealthy profession.

That won't get people's respect.

Yet you're unhappy that I'm dating a rich girl.

I want you to marry a girl from a noble family.

Someone with money and honor

and the power to protect you.

And she'll use her power to keep me in line.

The world is changing.

No one is superior to anyone.

Even if you threaten to send me to the moon,

you can't change how I feel about the general's daughter.

Choy.

You don't have to work anymore.

You should have fun tonight.

Is there any man you'd like to dance with? I'll arrange it for you.

Well, there's one man.

Really? Which one?

That one.

Hey. That man…

See you.

We finally meet again.

Happy birthday.

How did you get here?

-I heard that-- -So you two found each other.

Anong, this is my birthday present to you.

This is your present to me?

Yes.

I've looked high and low until I found your dream guy.

There's nothing I can't do for my sister.

Thank you.

You're still as pretty as ever.

And you're still a sweet talker.

You've charmed me once again.

I still remember how crazy I was about you.

It was probably because you were seasick on that ship.

Gosh.

I was so helpless on that ship.

I was seasick all the time. It felt like…

I was half-dreaming.

I was lucky you were there to help me.

Better to get dizzy from drinking than from seasickness.

Excuse me.

Are you trying to get me drunk?

Trust me. It saves me every time.

If I could choose, I would want to work as a bartender here.

I wouldn't mind

spending years living like this.

Is this what it's like

to have a crush on someone?

If it's a crush, you can't let the other person know

or you might end up losing them.

Then I'll keep my feelings to myself.

I want things to stay like this.

Cheers.

That was the first time

that I dared to get drunk in front of a stranger.

You made me feel safe.

I don't think we ever hung out when we were sober.

I was either drunk or seasick when I was with you.

I think you called me your dream guy

only because you were delirious.

That's not true.

I really did have a crush on you.

I nicknamed you "Secret Admirer."

I was young then, so it was fun for me

to be secretly in love with someone

without wanting anything in return.

It's like what you said.

Hidden love is the truest form of love.

Because you love without expecting anything in return.

I'm actually in love with someone.

He makes me feel like I'm a teenager again.

But I don't want to keep my feelings to myself.

I want him to love me back.

What man would dare reject you?

You did.

I'm not good enough for you.

That's not true.

Hello.

Thank you very much. Please head inside.

Hey, Mr. Wichai. Welcome.

Prasit is asking about you.

I see.

Wichai.

Hey.

Why are you so late? Let's go be with Anong.

Hey, wait.

Actually,

I'm here with Chantorn.

Never mind that. You should go say hi to Anong.

-Come on. Hurry. -Wait.

Another third wheel.

Hey, Wichai.

Sorry! I'm so sorry!

Chut.

Damn.

You look like a mess. Go get it cleaned up.

Keep this safe for me.

It's my present to Anong.

I'll propose to her tonight.

The coast is clear.

Chut.

What happened to Mom's ring?

I sold it and used the money to buy this one.

You said you'd use that money to build a house.

I spent it all on this ring.

We won't be getting married soon.

Also, Anong doesn't want a big house.

She already has such a luxurious house.

Anong likes to have something she can show off.

She can wear this ring wherever she goes without feeling embarrassed.

Are you sure that's how Anong feels?

I know Anong better than she knows herself.

You just wait for the good news.

We have a new designer working for us at the store.

He makes sure to use the softest fabric possible.

I believe our customers will love his designs.

Excuse me. Anong.

What are you still doing here?

Wichai is here with a special present for you.

Okay.

What?

Let's go find him.

Anong.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Do you see that man?

That's Prapat, Anong's dream guy.

So you've found him.

He's looking to start a business in Bangkok

and he wants to buy the house that our bank foreclosed on

since Anong likes it.

Maybe he plans to live there with her one day.

Isn't he a perfect match for her?

He's the one who taught her how to mix drinks.

Anong is crazy about him

since he's such a cool guy.

I heard that Wichai is here.

I haven't got a chance to say hi to him.

A guy like Wichai probably won't ask me to dance with him.

So I…

I'm planning to--

Will you marry me?

What did you say?

I have to move to Korat for my job

and I know you won't move there with me.

So let's get engaged first.

Why should we be engaged?

I want you to wait for me until I'm back.

Will you wait for me?

Gosh, Chut.

I can't live without you.

If you feel the same way, please say you'll marry me.

This is my promise

that I'll stay faithful to you.

You'll be the only woman for me.

Here. I made you a guidebook about me.

If you read it and you're okay with it,

let's become life partners.

My gosh.

Wichai.

Hey.

Come with me. Anong is waiting for you.

-But-- -Come on.

My gosh. I'm so sorry.

It's my birthday present to Anong.

Wait. What about the box I saw?

What box?

Chut.

Thank you for the good feelings you have for me.

But…

But things between us are good the way they are.

What do you mean?

We are friends.

That will never change.

Even if we are apart,

I will still be your friend.

So you won't wait for me?

I've found someone that I truly love.

It made me realize that

I can only think of you as a friend.

But I must thank you

for making me realize that

this person is the one I've been waiting for.

Are you in love with someone else?

But it won't be possible

for me to be with this guy if you're not okay with it.

Can there be anyone who loves you more than I do?

I don't know how much this guy will love me.

He may not love me as much as I love him.

All I ask

is that he accepts my love and doesn't turn me away.

I don't mind being the one who initiates the relationship.

Chut.

You don't have to be happy for me.

I just want you to understand.

I can't choose who I fall in love with.

I didn't want to hurt anyone

in order for me to find happiness.

What?

-Choy. -Yes?

I think I just saw Chantorn here.

That's right. Chantorn is here with Wichai.

Have you seen Wichai? I haven't seen him yet.

He's probably with Chantorn. They're here together.

He's been courting her. She's his date for tonight.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that Wichai will finally find love.

What…

What do you mean?

Wichai and Chantorn?

Wichai has been visiting the department store

in order to see her.

Haven't you noticed?

I didn't notice anything.

Wichai is good at hiding his feelings.

He doesn't make it obvious when he likes someone.

He's not an ardent lover.

He's very subtle in the way he shows his love.

Please excuse me.

Ms. Anong, please come with me.

Is Anong making her special drink?

So whoever gets this drink will be our brother-in-law.

Hey.

I hope it's this guy.

Yes.

If he's the one she chooses, then that means I win.

Wait.

Is this the guy you found for Anong?

I made this special drink

for someone I love.

A strong drink like this

probably isn't for a lightweight like you.

You like easy and simple things

that don't require any effort to get.

That's why your life is so bland.

Since this person doesn't appreciate my love for him,

from now on,

I'll just focus on loving myself more.

Anong, wait.

All right. Here's what's up next.

I'm going to make a special drink for everyone tonight.

Wait.

Here's your birthday present.

I hope you like it.

Wichai doesn't like women who wear makeup.

He often calls women who wear thick makeup catalog models.

He especially doesn't like it

when women paint their nails.

Gosh.

You don't like women who wear makeup,

but you got me makeup to wear so I could look like a catalog model.

I don't know

if I should be happy or sad that I'm everything you don't like.

I think you're drunk.

I'm sorry if you don't like what I said.

But I know this is from my store.

I even know how much it costs.

I bet that

you didn't even pick this yourself.

Chantorn picked it for you, right?

I just don't know what color you'll like.

To me, all colors look the same.

That guidebook.

You told Chut to write it, didn't you?

I'd rather read a guidebook about you.

I want to know if it will say

that you're color-blind.

Will it say that you're the kind of person

who wants it easy

and just grabs what's close at hand?

You're nice and kind to everyone

and you also have bad taste.

If I had known this,

I wouldn't have gotten so invested.

What's wrong?

-Did you fight with Chut? -Stop acting like you care.

You don't really care about me.

You shouldn't have drunk so much.

It's bad to drink on an empty stomach.

It's not just an empty stomach.

My heart also feels empty.

Why are you sitting here all by yourself?

It's over.

Are you okay?

I'm going home.

Are you sure you can manage?

Why don't you wait for your brother?

Chut.

If this happened yesterday,

I would be so happy to be here in your arms.

But what's the point

of getting to be this close to you

when this is as far as I'll ever get?

Let's go.

Get up slowly.

Stop acting like a gentleman.

You're actually really mean.

Hey.

If it were someone else,

they could take advantage of you.

I know you're not interested.

Stop rubbing it in.

I can tell from the way you look at me.

Let's head back.

Someone might get the wrong idea if they see us.

They all got the right idea.

I'm the one who got it all wrong.

If you fought with Chut, you shouldn't take it out on me like this.

Come on. Get up.

Anong.

Let's go.

Hey!

-Stop! What are you doing? -Prasit.

Stop it! Stop!

Get your hands off of her. Stay away from her.

Anong, are you hurt anywhere? Come on. Get up.

Anong. My gosh. Be careful, Anong.

You stay away from her.

Leave her alone from now on, you traitor.

Come on, Anong. Watch your step.

Walk slowly.

Come on.

Chut. Where are you going?

Where are you going?

You're drunk. Please get out of the car.

Chut.

Please get out of the car.

This is dangerous, Chut.

Chut.

Chut, where are you going?

Chut!

Watch your step, Anong. We're almost there.

Come on.

Anong, wait! Anong!

We're almost there, Anong. Come on. Get up.

Why did everything turn out like this, Prasit?

Why did he choose Chantorn?

Why can't it be me?

Did I do something wrong?

Anong.

It's Wichai who's too blind to see how great you are.

He's been courting her for a long time.

I'm the one who didn't see it.

Isn't it pathetic?

I helped him choose the perfume he gave to her.

I didn't realize he was buying it for his lover.

Not only did I not see it,

but I also made a fool of myself by coming on to him.

He didn't play along with me out of respect for his woman.

He must think I'm a shameless woman

who throws herself at a man who doesn't want her.

I've never felt so worthless before in my life.

Anong.

It's okay, Anong.

I was a fool for picking this guy for you.

I made a mistake.

I'm sorry.

Please don't cry.

I'm a fool, Prasit.

No, you're not.

Please don't say that, Anong. This is all my fault.

What's going on there?

Chut.

-I told you it's dangerous. -What?

Go ahead and drive.

Stop right there! Stop!

Hey! Stop!

Hey! Stop right there!

What happened?

Someone committed a hit-and-run.

Did the man drive off alone or was someone with him?

Please be careful.

Just stop if you can't see the way.

We'll get lost.

This is dangerous.

I don't care if I die. There's no point in living anyway.

-Damn it! Stop! -My gosh!

There's a tree! Look out!

Don't hit it! Gosh!

It's okay, Anong.

-Anong. -Anong.

-Anong. -Anong.

Don't cry.

Who does Wichai think he is to break your heart like this?

I thought Chut was bad.

But his brother is an even bigger jerk.

It's okay, Anong.

That man has no good qualities.

How could you love him?

Sawaeng, stop it.

Come here.

It's okay, Anong.

Listen.

Anong.

I know that we can't choose who we fall in love with.

It's the fault of those who encouraged you.

You should know better

than to listen to this numbskull.

You wanted to play Cupid

when you're just a stupid dork.

It's okay.

In my eyes,

Wichai is unlike any man I've met.

Before I knew it, I loved him with all my heart.

Oh, dear.

What am I supposed to do now?

It's all right.

You turned Chut down.

So an upright man like Wichai wouldn't dare get involved with you.

This whole situation is complicated.

You must accept that this love is impossible from the start.

Hey.

It's okay.

Please don't cry.

Hey. Stop it.

It's okay, Anong.

GUIDEBOOK ABOUT CHUT

GUIDEBOOK ABOUT CHUT

As you know, I'm the youngest among my siblings.

You could say I'm a mama's boy.

My family,

they treat me like I'm a prince.

That hurts!

Are you sure you can fix it?

Just give me the light.

If you expect me to fix something for you,

I can never do it.

My gosh! Damn it!

I can't get this damn thing fixed!

No wonder Anong doesn't want me!

I'm so weak. I'll never be able to protect anyone.

What kind of soldier am I?

I can't even manage to change a tire.

You're still alive.

You should consider yourself lucky.

It means that God still wants you to keep going.

Don't give up yet.

How can I not give up?

I gave her everything I had and she still turned me down.

Even if I died,

she wouldn't…

She probably wouldn't even care.

Hey.

Did you really throw it away?

I gave up everything

so that Anong and I could be together.

But she…

She didn't want a future with me.

I got transferred out of Bangkok and I have nothing left.

I fought for her as hard as I could and it was for nothing.

But I'd like you to try

and think of me as a puppy.

I'd like to be held

and pet by its owner.

It may sound needy, but I'll always be loyal to you.

If anyone gives me love,

I'll forever be faithful to that person.

IT WILL PASS

I hate being alone.

I'm always out and about.

If I have to move to the countryside,

I'll probably get lonely.

I can't imagine

how I'll survive living in a remote place like that.

I'm the complete opposite.

I'm used to being alone.

Everyone says that

a girl like me will end up

as someone's mistress just like my mother.

Every time someone comes into my life,

I get so paranoid

that they may be insincere with me.

In the end,

I ended up having never truly loved someone.

Especially if it's someone I like,

I get even more scared

that I'll be heartbroken.

I was on my way to work and decided to drop by.

Chut left the party last night and didn't come home.

I'm hoping he may be around here somewhere.

Are you sure you're not here to see Chantorn?

They left together.

You're welcome to stay and wait for them if you're worried.

I don't know how I can help you.

What happened yesterday?

Did Chut do something to upset you?

It wasn't Chut.

Do you want to talk about it?

It was all because of you.

Can you explain?

Wait.

Wait.

Does it hurt?

I'm not in tears.

So you didn't hurt me as badly as I hurt you.

Your wound will heal.

As for my wound,

I don't know if it will ever heal.

It will forever leave a scar.

Just say you're jealous.

You're afraid I'll steal your girl, right?

Anong's family is against you because of how immature you are.

No wonder a perfect girl like Anong doesn't want to be with you.

What's going on?

Why are they fighting about girls?

Did you lend me your car

because you were embarrassed that I didn't have one?

It would be wrong

if you tried to push Anong to be with your guy

only to get rid of me and Chut.

Anong is too good to be sharing a guy with anyone,

especially with her own brother.

I thought I was important to him

when I was actually just an outsider.

I'll move on if he doesn't want me.

You should come play again. I love listening to you play.

This is the first time I have a reason to want to come home early.

Mom is asking Sa-Ang to marry you

so you can be married next month.

I don't know if it's a coincidence,

but Chantorn just quit her job as well.
