I don’t know when you’re going to stop being mad at me.

But I want to draw you right now.

What?

What I see in you right now

is a man’s fragility that comes out as aggression.

Are you mad at me for firing Pheem?

It’s not just about Pheem.

I’m mad because you seem to love toying with other people’s feelings.

Is it fun?

Can you kiss me before you leave?

Maybe I’ll sleep better.

All these years in business,

and you still don’t know how to read people?

I’m sure he meant no harm.

This is exactly why no one respects you.

(I’ll find a way to fix this.)

(Fix this?)

(How? Like you always did?)

It never worked.

Our son is here.

You tell him.

(Is something the matter?)

(It’s nothing, love.)

(Your mom and I are just talking.)

Why don’t you go to your room?

Alright?

Sit down, Koh.

You know why your father is like this?

Because he had a stroke?

No.

He’s like this

because he’s an idiot.

Remember this, Koh.

When you do business,

don’t get attached to anyone.

If you trust someone,

this is how you’re going to end up.

The scariest people

are the ones closest to you.

Why are you up so early?

You couldn’t sleep?

I got this today.

I just thought I could assemble it right away.

What’s with you and computers?

It’s my favorite thing.

If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home.

Hold on.

Stay for breakfast.

I had Mr. Butler prepare some breakfast and some clothes for you.

You can take a shower here.

Alright.

Why can’t I touch it?

Are you messing with me?

Excuse me.

Ing’s calling.

Hey. What’s up?

I knew you’d be awake.

Why are you calling?

I just want to talk to you.

What are you doing?

Are you watering your plants?

What?

How’d you know that?

(How’s the orchid doing?)

Well…

Now that I have time to take care of it,

it refuses to bloom.

Playing hard to get, I’ll bet.

And you?

How are you? Are you okay?

I was up late.

(What for?)

Trying to get a job.

You’re a talented person and you will find work soon.

They’ll hire you the minute they see your handsome profile on LinkedIn.

You’re good at this, huh.

Oh, I finished your drawing.

I’ll show you some time.

Really?

When can I see you?

Tomorrow.

Wanna meet up?

Hold on. I think Ing is calling me.

I have to talk to her about some job.

I have to go.

Okay. Of course.

I’ll talk to you later.

Hey, dude!

Dude!

I–I–I got a callback!

They want me to audition.

They’ll send me the script soon.

You help me read my lines, alright?

I’ll get hired before you do!

Oh, idiot.

An audition is basically just an interview.

Don’t act like you’re already hired.

Well, what about you?

You been hearing back from anyone yet?

I would have if I wanted to, jerk.

You would, huh?

I think we need to change the hairstyle.

Straighten it.

Excuse me.

What are you calling me so early in the morning for?

Hey. I need your help.

Yes?

I was talking to Pheem and told him you were calling me.

I’m afraid Mawin might find this out later.

Can you cover up for me?

Sorry. What?

I don’t get it.

So you were talking to Pheem?

Who did you lie to?

Pheem?

I lied to Pheem that you were calling me,

but I am actually with Koh.

(I don’t want Pheem getting suspicious and ask Mawin to look into this.)

And I told Koh that I was on the phone with you,

but I was actually talking to Pheem.

Enough. Stop it.

You and your multiple men.

I’m confused.

Just wrap it up and tell me what you need me to do.

Let’s say, no matter who’s calling you,

just tell them you were just on the phone with me about some job.

And you need to keep talking to me for a bit

because I need to walk in sounding like I really have been talking to you.

Alright?

Yeah.

It’s always gotta be my job.

I’m ready.

(Action.)

Okay.

(What should I talk about?)

Animal?

Bitch!

Do you have to get me involved in your two-timing?

Hey.

Can you save the insult for later? I wasn’t prepared for that.

(But you deserve it.)

Fine.

Whoever calls me after this, I’ll lie.

(Okay?)

Thank you.

Let me buy you dinner or something.

Bye.

Sorry about that.

We got caught up a little bit.

Your breakfast.

You can take a shower after you eat.

Where should I sit?

Look at the state of your room.

You can sit anywhere you want.

You’re not busy today.

That’s right.

I’ll go home after I eat.

Let’s visit my childhood home.

Why?

I want you to.

You should know I don’t let a whole lot of people there.

I’ll take it as work.

Do I get paid?

I’m only asking you to accompany me.

So come with me.

How do you actually feel about me?

You’ve been acting contradictory lately.

You said you don’t like me.

I said that?

Yes, you did.

Well, I guess I wasn’t telling the truth.

Then tell me the truth.

The truth is simple enough…

Yeah.

I like you.

Will you come with me?

This is your house?

Yeah, it is.

Why?

It resembles a factory more than a house.

You’re exactly right.

It used to be a fabric factory.

You see that over there?

That was the sewing room.

The sound of the machine used to be so loud,

but I loved it.

The uncles and aunties who worked here would work and eat in that room.

I always came and talked to them after school.

Does that mean Baby Koh was friendly?

It sounds like you were a lovely kid.

I don’t know about that.

But that was my childhood.

This place was actually sold to someone else

when my family was going to court.

But when I had enough money,

I bought it back.

I’m gonna renovate it

or just knock it all down and rebuild the whole thing.

I want to start on a clean slate.

But I still haven’t come up with any ideas.

What do you think?

I want it to be somewhere you’d want to live in.

Are you…

Asking me to move in?

Yes.

I need time to decide.

Okay.

While I wait for you to decide,

can you tell me how I can improve this place?

I need some ideas from an artist like you.

I want it to look good.

Don’t think about what I like.

Just focus on you.

What do you like?

You remember what I told you?

How I used to love sleeping on a pile of laundry?

That’s what I like.

Can you show me?

Let’s go.

You had to walk up four levels every day as a kid?

Yeah.

The first floor was our factory.

The second and third floors were our office.

My parents and I lived on the fourth floor.

Not the best weather to walk around, huh.

Yeah.

Wait here.

I’ll grab an umbrella.

We don’t want you getting sick now, do we?

Come on.

This was my bedroom.

I came back to sleep here a few times.

But I still couldn’t sleep.

So I never came back here again.

To be honest,

I don’t think I can sleep anywhere anymore

unless you’re with me.

There’s a leak.

Yeah.

It’s raining.

I think there’s a leak in the roof.

What’s that?

My camping set.

You liked camping?

Yeah, with my dad.

Wait here.

I’ll go check the rooftop.

Mom.

What would you say

that I brought someone home today?

You told me not to trust people.

And I’ve always tried to do that…

But would it be okay, just this once,

for me to trust someone?

Please don’t be mad at me, Mom.

When I’m with him, I’m really happy.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t been with someone in a long time,

and he was there at the right moment,

but I just want to take risks with him.

I don’t care if someone calls me an idiot

or if I end up like Dad.

I don’t even know how this will end,

but I will accept it regardless.

Did you get it done?

It’s still leaking, though.

No.

I couldn’t find the key to the rooftop.

I think I’ll just try to climb up there from the balcony.

You sure it’s alright?

Of course. I got this.

Hey.

What are you doing out here?

Just get down from there. It’s too dangerous.

You should get back inside.

You’ll get soaked.

Hey.

Come back inside with me.

I’m worried about you.

Did you say you’re worried about me?

Yes.

Why’d you throw them there?

I want to sleep like I did when I was a kid.

You want to take a nap with me?

Besides work,

what do you like about me?

You’re pretty.

What do you like about me?

When did I ever say I like you?

Your body

is more honest than your words.

Are you a physical therapist or something?

You tired?

Wanna do that again?

Maybe later.

Hey.

I’m thinking about opening an art space or a gallery.

What do you think?

What got into you?

I’m just thinking of the old townhouse areas in London.

Soho and Shoreditch, you know?

This neighborhood is full of old townhouses, too.

We can start from one building

and then slowly expand into a community.

I think it’s pretty interesting.

Someone like you supporting art?

What evil plan do you have in mind?

Just be honest with me.

You’re right.

I’m trying this new technology with Hive.

If things go well,

I’ll sell everything by the end of the year.

Why do you want to sell it?

It’s practically minting money for you, isn’t it?

Let me explain it like this.

It’s a cycle of my start-up businesses.

I build it up and sell it for some profit,

and it gives me more than breakeven.

Hive is not entirely flawless, legally speaking.

So it’s best if I sell it before things get exposed.

I’ll hibernate and stay lowkey from then on.

What?

Are you a toad?

No.

It’s just a typical cycle.

Whenever I sell some shady businesses,

I have to keep a low profile and stay inside

to avoid getting washed in pee, shot, or made to disappear.

You can hide with me here.

Hey.

You want me to die here?

What if we were chatting and some sniper went “pew, pew, pew, argh!”?

We’ll all be dead.

I won’t let that happen.

We can just live our lives.

Let someone renovate the empty space downstairs

while we cuddle up up here.

We can screw all day.

You can keep painting my nudes.

I’ll hire some curator to curate your work,

and we can finally open a gallery.

So you’re looking to use art to launder money?

Won’t it be better to do something else?

You’ll be able to sleep with no paranoia.

I can sleep as long as I have you.

It depends on you.

Are you interested?

Reality is brutal, isn’t it?

Why are you here?

What the hell did you come back here for?

I came back for you.

I thought you wanted to see me.

Don’t flatter yourself.

No one wants to see you!

Really?

Don’t you know that my parents are sleeping upstairs?

They thought you left.

I wanted to surprise you.

I can shout for my papa.

He can see you with his own eyes.

You wouldn’t dare.

Are you trying to blackmail me into falling in love with you?

Let me tell you right now that it won’t work.

Don’t you realize what you’re doing?

You know what I want.

Just let me have it.

I…

Hold up.

Just let me have it.

It ain’t hard to do.

Just go back.

Or else I’ll have to…

What are you gonna do?

I’ll have to kill you!

Sorry, man.

-I’m sorry. -Oh, you jerk.

Let’s try again.

I was finally able to stay in character.

Can you please read the lines through to the very end?

Okay.

I’m sorry.

Let’s do it again.

I won’t laugh now.

-Come on. -Again?

Let’s start again.

I’ll have to kill you!

But if you do that,

you’ll go to jail.

I hate you.

I hate us.

I hate our relationship.

Shit.

Shit.

Alright.

Crap.

I can’t do this.

Honestly? This script is shit!

You really think you’re gonna start your acting career off with this?

Oh, jerk.

If you’re not gonna help, at least don’t look down on me.

Come on. Let’s try one more time.

No way.

Your acting is the same every time.

I think your chance of getting this role is below 1%.

I’ll take that 1%.

At least it would be 1% higher chance than you getting together with Jira.

Oh, asshole.

Take it back right now.

You take it back. You started it!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

It’s not like my words are gonna make it true, you know?

You know how to read palms, dude.

Your words have power.

Fine. Alright.

I’m sorry.

I take it back.

But honestly, you don’t think you’re too serious about this?

You’ve never acted before, you know?

But I can try it out, right?

I have my connection.

If it doesn’t work out,

I’ll just let it go.

How nice that would be.

Whatever you think or do, you can move on just like that.

Well, you should learn to do that, too.

You’re attached.

With Jira, for example.

If he doesn’t reciprocate your feelings, just find someone else.

He said he’d draw me.

He’s going to show me my painting tomorrow.

Your painting from the rage room?

Yeah.

He said he was inspired when he saw me wreck things.

I can’t wait to see how he’d paint that.

What do you think?

This guy sure plays with your feelings, doesn’t he?

Only because I let him.

You love getting played or something?

In both your work life and love life.

Yeah, I get it.

You don’t just heal from Stockholm syndrome.

It’s like I’m talking to empty air.

Jerk.

Just wait and see.

I’ll be the one playing with his feelings next time.

What’s wrong?

I’m worn out.

What do you mean?

I’m just tired.

Are you now?

Oh, you’re gonna be even more tired.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you playing?

Let me go.

No way.

Drink with me tonight.

No.

Why?

You don’t drink?

I’m a major drinker, mind you.

I just don’t think I should drink with you.

My friend said I never think whenI speak when I’m drunk.

I’ve got a loose-tongued, she said.

It’s alright.

I like it.

Are you trying to get me drunk right away?

Hey.

Do you want to pass out again?

I just want to make up for not dancing with you that day.

Hey.

Don’t get handsy now.

Sorry. I’m drunk.

How can you be drunk?

You just started.

You getting moody already?

Let’s reset your mood.

♪ What can I even do ♪

♪ Can I ask you to stay ♪

♪ If I don’t let go of you ♪

♪ Would you let me have my way ♪

♪ I’d ask you to choose me ♪

♪ Make you pick me over her ♪

♪ What you ask of me is not easy ♪

♪ You give me no choice ♪

Hey!

Are you trying to piss me off?

You’re pissed off now?

Drink this whole thing.

What the fuck are you looking at?

You know,

when I first stepped foot into this room,

I didn’t think I’d have to be whatever the hell Mr. K is.

I thought you wanted to pay me to sleep with you.

But let me–let me tell you one thing.

I ain’t someone who lets people do whatever they please with me.

I only let you have your way

because you’re hot.

Your friend is absolutely right.

About what?

You do have a loose tongue when you’re drunk.

Who’s drunk?

I don’t see anyone drunk around here.

Did you ever blabber about me when you’re out drinking?

You… Don’t you flatter yourself.

Alright?

What kind of man do you think I am?

An asshole.

Can I ask you something?

Go on.

If you think I’m such an asshole,

will you leave me?

I haven’t figured that out.

I don’t know.

If I’d had enough, I would leave.

What do you care?

You’ll replace me with someone.

But I don’t think I can replace you.

Ew.

I mean it.

What do you mean?

After everything we did,

should we just start dating?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

You’re not going to bed?

You’re up already?

It’s only been a few hours since you fell asleep.

Did I talk a lot when I was drunk?

A whole lot.

But I’m not gonna tell you.

It’s my precious secret now.

You’re not done with that?

Yeah.

You’re gonna pay more attention to these metal scraps than me?

Careful.

These are delicate things.

You’ll ruin them.

Is that so?

What about this?

Is this delicate?

What do you think?

Delicate and strong.

Why else would I draw it?

Can I see it again?

Can you wait until I finish assembling this?

Of course.

Let me make you finish once

before you get back to work.

It’s okay.

I’ll buy a new one if this one’s ruined.

PHEEM: YOU UP? WHERE SHOULD WE MEET TONIGHT?

If these two men were paintings,

which one do you like better?

Why are you so nice today?

You agree to everything I suggest.

Honeymoon phase.

It’ll expire soon.

Why does it sound like we’re dating?

Aren’t we?

You’ll get tired of Koh one day.

He only loves you as long as you’re useful to him.

Flowers often represent genitals.

It’s not strange if you get aroused looking at it.
