Original subtitles

Are you sure if we put on an act,

the ghost will be stupid enough to believe us?

You just have to make it convincing enough for it to believe us.

You usually look so dead inside when talking to clients.

What's gotten into you, Vann?

From now on, if you're sad, look at this bracelet and think of me instead.

You don't have to think about anyone else.

Rakkhun.

We're still together, right?

Kan came to talk to me.

What do you think I should do?

Why are you scared?

The ghost… is the one who should be scared of me.

You're leaving already?

If that's all you're going to do, don't bother coming.

What a waste of time.

Vann! What are you doing?

Aw!

I thought you'd be scarier than this.

Come out and let me see you if you dare.

Don't just make noises.

And did you turn off the lights to boost the damage?

It's not scary at all.

Save that trick for scaring kids.

Rakkhun.

How about we go public as a couple?

And when you graduate, we'll get married.

Vann. What's wrong with you?

Took you long enough to show yourself.

You kept me waiting so long.

Get out.

Where do you expect me to go?

You're choking me.

Go die wherever you want.

What are you saying?

I can't understand you.

What's your name? What do you want?

Tell me.

You have to stay away from Rakkhun.

Otherwise, I'll kill you.

Vann!

What happened?

I'm scared.

Tell him that Garlah will kill you.

Vann. Are you okay?

I'm fine. I'm okay.

Don't worry about me.

Your neck.

Your neck.

You really won't go to the hospital?

I can take you.

No.

Just take care of me. That's enough.

Don't even start.

How could you provoke her like that?

What if she really snapped your neck?

What would you do?

Come on.

My neck didn't come off.

At least now I know her name is Garlah.

It was worth it.

You risked that much just to learn her name?

How does knowing that help you?

At least the fact that Garlah showed herself to me

means she believes we're together.

Now you don't have to worry.

I'll talk to her.

You'll definitely get to live the life you want.

But go to sleep now.

I'll keep working on the model.

I can't sleep.

The knife is still stuck in the model.

Seriously, Vann.

I don't want to sleep here at all.

Didn't you say she could follow you anywhere?

That's right.

But I can't sleep.

If it's somewhere else, you'll be able to sleep, right?

Come in.

Whoa.

Are all these yours?

Yeah.

I saved up and bought them myself.

Some of them have been discontinued.

You're such a nerd.

Whoa.

Hey!

You can look, but don't touch. They might break.

These things are delicate.

Wow. You're really protective of them.

Of course I am.

Each one was so hard to get.

Some of them almost ended up at the dump.

Luckily, I got to them in time.

Go shower and get some sleep.

You sleep on the bed tonight.

I'll sleep on the floor.

No.

You sleep on the bed.

I'll sleep on the floor.

No way.

I have to take good care of my super VVIP client.

Go take a shower.

Go, go, go!

Fine, I'll go.

Sorry.

I'll lower it for you.

Is the light bothering your eyes?

Should I move somewhere else to work on it?

It's fine.

I can't sleep anyway.

Want me to help?

Didn't you tell me you'd be able to sleep somewhere else?

I do feel more at ease here than in my room.

But I feel bad if you do it alone.

I'm chill. Don't overthink it.

This is my job.

Once this job is done, I get paid.

See? It's a win-win for both of us.

Hey, did I say something wrong?

No.

Can I ask you something?

Why did you join the Crow Club?

I don't really want to use this word, but…

I guess it was fate.

My life was terrible back then.

I got fired.

And I didn't get the scholarship.

But I happened to meet Linda.

When Linda offered me a job at the club,

at first, I wondered what kind of job paid this much.

But I had nothing left to lose.

As long as I could earn money legally, I'd do any job.

And it really does pay a lot.

Even if the jobs are a little weird.

Oh, you…

When you're ready to sleep, you fall asleep so easily.

Why am I smiling?

Damn it!

Your face is so red. Are you okay?

And why are you sleeping here?

Someone fell asleep last night.

And then…

you held my hand and wouldn't let go.

"Stay here. Don't leave me."

You're exaggerating.

Didn't you put your hand in mine yourself and then make the whole thing up?

There's a camera in my room.

Want me to pull up the footage?

No need.

I'm going to take a shower.

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Hey, that's the blanket.

Where are you taking it?

Yeah.

Hurry up and shower.

I'll take you to get something to eat.

Mimi, can I have another chicken thigh?

There's only one chicken thigh.

You had the chicken thigh the other day too.

- Hey, how could you do this? - We're eating.

Can I have some too?

What's there to eat today?

Look. Can't you see?

Whoa!

Linda made a lot of food today.

Is she planning to feed the whole neighborhood?

Sit down.

What? What are you guys looking at?

Hey.

If you're going to go public,

shouldn't you introduce him first?

He gets here and you just let him sit?

Hi, nice to meet you.

I'm Mimi.

Hi, I'm Rakkhun.

You can call me Rak.

Rakkhun?

Your name is so unique.

I can't believe someone as foul-mouthed as Vann

could actually have a boyfriend.

Not a boyfriend. He's a client, damn it.

Is he really our client?

He's our client?

- Come here. - What?

You brought a client to sleep at the club?

Why did Linda never tell us we could do that?

I would've done it too.

Vann. Are you crazy?

Did you forget Linda's golden rule?

Yeah, Vann.

If any Crow crosses the line

and gets so involved with a client that they can't separate the two,

they'll be kicked out.

You guys are getting carried away.

I brought him here because of work.

And I already got Linda's permission.

And she gave you permission?

She's playing favorites.

I'm sorry, everyone, for disturbing you.

I might be staying here for a while.

Until Vann finishes this job.

You don't have to apologize, Rakkhun.

Having another handsome guy join our club,

I'm more than happy about it.

Are you tired? Did you travel far?

- I'm not tired. - If you're tired, eat plenty.

Go on, eat. Here, I'll feed you.

Make yourself at home, Rakkhun.

The Crow Club welcomes you.

Thank you.

Since you've moved in here,

does that mean you've seen the ghost?

I have.

Her name is Garlah.

But that was as far as our conversation got.

- She disappeared first. - Shit!

Vann. You talk to everyone from people to ghosts now?

If you guys want to know how this will turn out, have Nay read the cards.

I'm not doing that. It's nonsense.

Reading the cards won't change anything.

You guys know how to read cards too?

Interested?

If you are, I can read the cards for you.

I am.

Come on. Let's do it after we eat.

Eat up.

Your boyfriend is superstitious.

I told you, he's not my boyfriend.

What do you want to do? Go ahead.

Who is the ghost following me?

Looks like she's been around for a very long time.

She could be your ancestor or someone who's watching over you.

When she appeared,

judging by the way she was dressed,

she must've been your Yong ancestor.

Yong?

- Ramyun? - No.

So what does she want?

She won't tell us.

If I make merit for her, will she stop following me?

She won't tell us.

And she covered the cards so we couldn't see them.

Vann.

You've only seen her once?

Yeah, I've only seen her once.

But it took so much to get her to appear.

Maybe next time, I'll actually have to kiss Rakkhun.

- A kiss? - A kiss?

Come on, Vann.

Like, kiss-kiss?

It's a long story.

I'll tell you later.

But I need to find a way to talk to her first.

Does she have to be the one to come to you?

If I don't wait for her to appear, what do you expect me to do?

Go out and find her?

I don't want to die yet.

We don't have to go find her.

Because we can summon her.

How?

Do you have her number?

You want him to call the ghost?

Is this how you summon a ghost?

Yes.

My family usually performs this ritual at the ancestral spirit shrine.

Then the ghost appears.

Didn't you say you've never seen a ghost?

I've never seen one directly.

But I've seen one through a spirit medium.

Usually, one person in my family is chosen to be the spirit medium.

And everyone in the family can talk to our ancestors through them.

If the ghost appears here, who'll be the medium?

If the ghost appears, you can see her.

So we don't need a medium.

Hey! Do we have to light incense too?

Of course. The incense is important.

Fine, light it.

But be careful. Don't let anything catch fire.

Or all my dinosaurs will go extinct.

What should I do?

I forgot the chant.

Will the ghost even appear?

I'm not usually the one who chants.

Then who usually does it?

Can you call and ask them?

My grandmother.

But I've recorded her before.

Because my mother once made me memorize this chant.

Sacred beings of the northern skies.

- I'll transcribe it and try chanting it. - Please open the path between worlds.

By the time you're done,

we'll probably be chanting it next month.

Then what would you do?

Just have your grandmother chant it.

You mean play the recording and perform the ritual at the same time?

This is the age of technology.

Your ancestors…

They probably won't mind.

Sacred beings of the northern skies,

please open the path between worlds.

Let the voices of the descendants reach the departed.

Om, spirits of the household,

spirits of the family line, elders,

forefathers and foremothers,

those who once built homes,

worked the fields, planted rice,

- Do you see a ghost? - and raised children.

- No. - Now…

- I don't see anything. - We will light incense.

May you hear this voice from wherever you are.

- I don't think it's working. - Please come down to this house

- If she were coming, she'd be here by now. - to receive

- Pack it up. - the offerings,

Wait.

- Can you wait until the incense burns out? - including food and water.

She's here.

Garlah is here.

I don't think that's her.

What kind of ghost has such good manners?

It even knocked first.

Linda sent me to ask if you guys are having dinner together.

I am. An army marches on its stomach.

Tell her to make some for me.

You guys aren't done yet?

Almost.

What do you want to do?

You want to wait until the incense burns out, right?

I don't think this method is really going to work.

Are you that disappointed?

A little.

I've dealt with things like this my whole life.

I don't want to put up with this anymore.

Do you trust me?

I do.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have pestered you into taking the job.

Then let me apologize in advance.

Nothing's happening.

Wait, Vann.

She's here.

It actually worked.

- Hey, you! - Stay right there.

Hey, you. I thought you weren't coming.

You're pretty naughty, aren't you?

Incense doesn't work on you,

but the moment we kissed, you showed up.

But thank you for not losing your temper and throwing a knife at us like last time.

Vann, how can you provoke her like that?

You'll get hurt again.

Trust me.

Just watch a pro at work.

I'll get straight to the point.

My eyes get tired just looking at you and your bug eyes.

My Rakkhun here

wants to know why you keep stopping him from finding love.

And with my male friends too.

Yeah. His male friends too.

Why do you keep haunting the men who get close to him

until he has no one left?

No friends.

And his boyfriends left him.

You don't have to rub it in.

Stay quiet.

I'll kill you!

Okay.

If you want to kill me, go ahead.

But let me hear your reason first.

Why do you keep tormenting Rakkhun?

Aren't you his ancestor?

I'm not tormenting him.

I'm protecting him from bad people.

Someday, he'll understand.

Understand what?

Are you delusional?

You're traumatizing him.

He's afraid to live his life or even let himself be happy.

Now I understand why you haven't been reincarnated.

It's because you're this kind of ghost that you're stuck here like--

Vann!

Garlah! Don't hurt him!

Garlah! Stop it right now!

Garlah! Please stop!

Garlah! Stop it! Enough!

I'm begging you.

Please stop.

Vann! Are you hurt?

Are you okay?

Don't worry about it.

I'm fine.

This is nothing. She can't hurt me.

Tonight, I'm going back to sleep at my condo.

And I'm going to cancel the job.

I'll talk to Linda myself.

Why are you canceling?

Rakkhun.

Garlah finally talked to me.

Just give me some time.

Every time Garlah appears,

you always get hurt.

Do you have to get your neck broken before this job can end?

I can't be responsible for your life.

You don't have to be responsible for me.

I chose to take this job.

When the job's done, I get paid.

See? It's a win-win for both of us.

Do you want the money that badly?

You want money so badly that you don't even care about your own life?

Yeah.

I want the money.

Or I wouldn't have taken this job.

I'll pay you the full fee.

And we don't have to see each other again.

I'm ending the job here.

Rakkhun, wait.

This isn't how you solve the problem.

You know Garlah will show up again if you have a boyfriend.

Forget it.

If it's that difficult, then I just won't have one.

I won't die just because I don't have love in my life.

Let me whisper softly

Where are you?

Everyone’s waiting in the music rehearsal room.

You guys go ahead and practice.

I’ll catch up with you later.

TONHON

I'm not trying to pressure you.

It's just that the email said the result was still pending.

So I came to ask if you've made a decision yet.

I haven't thought about it yet.

I have a lot of other things to do.

Excuse me.

Wait.

You should back off

before I reject your offer.

I heard you want to apply to be a singer here.

Yes.

You can audition me first.

I can play guitar. I can dance.

I can definitely entertain the customers here.

I guarantee they won't get bored.

I suppose this is one way for you to convince Phatee

to take your job, right?

To be honest, customers…

I want them too.

But I'm really not sure if the money I'd spend on you

would be worth what I'd get in return.

Then…

what if you didn't have to pay me?

I'm willing to sing here for free.

As long as I get to sing with Phatee.

- For free? - Yes.

Deal.

We're closed.

Sitting here from opening until closing like this isn't going to work.

I'm not taking your job no matter what.

Today, I'm here as a customer of the bar.

Or if you change your mind, you can tell me.

No way.

Kind.

Warm.

Caring.

Idealistic.

You have all the traits of a male lead.

You're drunk, but you're still writing fiction.

Are all writers as delusional as you?

I'll take you home.

Stay still for a second.

Can you walk?

Watch where you're going.

Hey.

What's wrong? Why are you drinking alone?

I'm feeling a little down.

I'll turn off the lights.

You don't usually drink.

Why? Did something bad happen?

It's not that bad.

Since we're already at it,

I might as well ask you.

Go ahead.

Today, I summoned the ghost.

And I talked to her for a bit.

Then the ghost strangled me.

Right here.

She strangled you pretty hard.

So?

You don't want this job because the ghost strangled you?

No.

I want to keep going.

But Rakkhun wants to cancel.

I seriously don't get it.

I followed the entire brief

so I could finish the job as fast as possible.

But suddenly today, Rakkhun got mad at me.

I called, but he didn't answer.

I texted, but he didn't reply.

I don't know if he can be alone.

He's already such a scaredy-cat.

And he's been studying hard lately.

He hasn't been sleeping well.

If he gets sick, who's going to take care of him?

Rakkhun is probably worried about you.

Just like you're worried about Rakkhun.

I'm not worried about him.

I'm more worried about my money.

You're afraid he won't be able to sleep.

You're afraid he'll see the ghost?

You're worried about the money?

You're worried about him.

You just won't admit it.

Ask yourself how you really feel, then go talk to him.

There's no point sitting here sad and drinking beer.

It's just a waste of beer.

I'll take it, then.

VANN

VANN: CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A MOMENT?

Can I talk to you for a moment?

- Hello. - Which one's yours?

- This one. - Okay.

- This one's yours, right? - Yeah.

It's a semi-detached house.

It's nice. Not bad.

Thanks.

- Yay! - Yay!

Our group is so good. We all got A's.

Yeah.

What do you guys say?

Should we celebrate tonight?

You're acting like we've graduated.

Come on.

People who want to drink can always find a reason to drink.

So, what do you guys say? Who's going?

- So I can book a table. - I'm in.

- Me too. - You guys in the back, you coming?

- I'm in. - Me too.

Let's drink!

Okay, I'm in.

Okay.

And Rakkhun, are you coming?

Come with us.

I want you to come too.

We haven't had drinks together in ages.

It's fun when a bunch of us go together.

Okay, I'll come too.

Fabulous!

We're going drinking tonight!

- Book us a table. - Let's celebrate!

These are noodles from my shop.

I don't know if there's enough for everyone.

This is a lot. There's definitely enough for everyone.

Thank you so much.

Vann's here just in time.

Then, I'll get going.

- I'll go check on the shop. - Sure.

Make yourself at home.

Thank you so much.

What's with that hair color?

We haven't seen each other in a year.

Shouldn't you ask how I've been?

And you're asking about my hair color?

I brought you some noodles.

I saw there were a lot of people here,

so I brought a bunch of bags.

Thanks.

That's it?

Hey.

I'm seriously asking you.

What's better about this place than our home?

Why won't you come home?

You want me to come back?

But you're the one who kicked me out.

How was I supposed to know you'd actually leave?

I said it in the heat of the moment.

Couldn't you tell?

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

I'm going to a funeral nearby, so I stopped by to see you.

Whose funeral?

Aunt Nid's.

She had cancer.

She died not long after she was diagnosed.

Aunt Nid is a relative on Dad's side.

Then why didn't Dad come too?

Your dad didn't get along with Aunt Nid.

I didn't want other people gossiping about us,

so I just went to get it over with.

Let people say whatever they want, Mom.

Even Buddha was gossiped about.

Wow, you dare lecture me, Vann?

Okay, enough about this.

Right, I've saved enough to study abroad now.

If I finish this job, I can go right away.

You really want to go study, right?

You're not going just to spite me, right?

I really want to go.

It's my dream.

Then I'd better get to the funeral.

I'm leaving.

I'll see you off.

No need. I can go by myself.

Focus on your work.

Vann.

How's your job going?

I heard you had a fight with the client.

Did Rakkhun come to cancel the job with you?

He came to talk to me.

But he hasn't officially canceled yet.

Go sort things out with him properly.

Don't let it become a problem.

Here's your drink.

Thirsty, huh?

- You chugged that down fast. - Two glasses now.

The beer's here.

Why hasn't Linda dropped this supplier already?

Other people need it too.

Hey.

Why are you complaining?

You'll have to work together someday anyway, right?

You two should get along.

There's no need, Mimi.

Actually, we already know each other very well.

Because I know him so well,

I don't want to know him anymore.

Know each other well?

Here's the beer bill.

I'll take care of this bill.

By the way,

you two have known each other for a long time, right?

You know him that well?

And you know him so well you don't want to know him…

You two are exes, aren't you?

Mimi!

You could say that.

Actually, it started with us being friends.

Thank you so much for today.

I'm chill.

I'm glad you agreed to go drinking.

Going once in a while is fun too.

Rakkhun.

Can I ask you something?

I don't know if I can ask you this.

But I want to know,

the guy who picked you up at the faculty building that day,

who is he?

He's an older guy I know.

An older guy?

I know everyone in your life.

You're not someone who lets just anyone into your life.

I'll be straight with you.

You've moved on from me, right?

So I can come to terms with it.

It's not like that.

It's complicated.

We're not seeing each other or anything.

That means I still have a chance, right?

I think you should move on.

Let's each go live our own lives.

If you're saying this because

you don't feel anything for me anymore,

I'll leave you alone.

But if you're just afraid the ghost will haunt me again,

I'm not going anywhere.

I won't let the ghost ruin our relationship again.

I told you to get out of Rakkhun's life!

Kan, what's wrong?

I'm fine.

I'm not afraid of ghosts.

I'm more afraid of not being with you.

Kan!

Stop! Garlah!

I told you to stop!

Stop hurting people.

Garlah! Stop hurting people.

I warned you.

You didn't listen to me!

You'll fucking destroy yourself over a man!

- Sicko! - Rakkhun!

I think you should go home.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Go shower and get some sleep.

I'll head home now

so you can get some rest.

Wait.

Can you stay with me tonight?

Hey, can I ask you something?

What are you going to do with the money?

I want to study in Japan.

Believe it or not, I graduated with a gold medal.

And when I was an undergrad,

I got a full scholarship too.

Big companies were fighting over me before I even graduated.

Then why don't you apply for a scholarship?

With a profile this good,

it shouldn't be that hard, right?

I already took the exam.

It was a full scholarship too.

Only one person in the whole country gets it.

I was so damn confident during the exam.

I thought I'd definitely get it.

You know, my whole life,

I'd never failed an exam before.

Until this scholarship exam.

And I found out later that

the person who got the scholarship fucking got it through connections.

So I decided to earn the money myself.

I'm not counting on those scholarships anymore.

You're amazing.

If it were me,

I'd have given up already.

Hey, Vann, I think I heard Garlah just now too.

What did Garlah say to you?

Garlah said my life would be ruined because of a man.

Obviously.

Garlah doesn't like you dating men.

She's so fucking conservative.

That's possible.

Go to sleep. It's late.

Can I hold your hand?

It'll put me at ease.

You can sleep here.

I don't mind.

Talay.

Have you seen Talay? Isn't he here?

He went out.

What is it?

Well,

I don't know who to talk to.

Talay isn't here either.

This might sound a little weird,

but have you ever liked someone or ever loved someone?

- I have. - Who?

I mean,

what does it feel like?

Who do you like, then?

- Rakkhun? - Are you crazy?

Just someone.

I'm still not sure, so I came to ask.

I was interested, curious, and restless.

I couldn't stop thinking about him.

That's how I knew I liked him.

Do you feel anything strange when you're around him?

Like,

sleeping well,

sometimes getting butterflies in your stomach,

or feeling a flutter in your chest.

Your arms and legs never seem to know where to go.

It depends on the person.

How do you feel when you're around him?

Before I sleep, I think about him.

When I wake up, I think about him.

I expect every notification to be his message.

I like seeing him smile.

I want to smack myself for saying things that hurt him.

When he can't sleep, I can't sleep either.

When he's sad, I'm sad too.

If his eyes well up,

I feel like I'm going crazy.

I'm angry at myself for not being able to do anything.

I want to be close to him, but I can't be too close.

Is this normal?

Do you feel that way about me?

About you?

No way.

That means that person is special to you.

This is what having a crush on someone feels like.

Rakkhun.

I bought this for you.

Thanks.

I think you should stay away from me for now.

You'll get hurt again.

No.

I want to be close to you.

I'm not afraid of that ghost anymore.

Look.

I've got something powerful too.

Whatever ghost it is, bring it on.

I'm not afraid.

I told you.

I'm not leaving you again.

Whoa.

You look so handsome today.

Like a model.

Where are you going to model?

I'm here to take you back to the condo.

And then I'll take you out to eat.

I happened to get a voucher.

It's a Michelin restaurant.

I have a study session with friends.

By the way, I can still save this voucher for later, right?

Sure.

Want me to pick you up?

Where are you studying?

At my house.

I'll pick him up and drop him off myself.

I'll take good care of him.

You don't have to worry.

I'll let you know when I get there.

Take good care of yourself.

Okay. I'm going.

Garlah, where are you?

Come out and talk to me.

You don't have to hide.

You can come into my dreams almost every night,

so just coming out to talk

can't be that hard, can it?

Okay. Now we can talk.

Let's make a deal.

If Rakkhun gets hurt dating a man, you're dead!

Taking your job doesn't mean I'll help you.

Are you just fucking with me,

or are you just making excuses to be with me?

The male lead in my novel is the same.

I already picture him as you.

So it has to be you.

Customers aren't allowed back here.

I'm not here as a customer.

Today, I'm here as a singer.

What I want is to finish the job.

So I can go study like I planned.

Kissing me, sleeping with me,

always texting me,

was all of that just for the job?
