Why, Thien? Why?

Hey, what are you doing?

Calm down Trieu!

Trieu, look at me!

Let's go home!

What happened?

What made you guys become like this?

I don't wanna stay here for another minute, or even second.

Let's go home!

I don't want to see your face again.

Alright now, let's go home!

We all go home.

Screw him! Just us going home.

What the hell happened?

You guys are not kids anymore, stop acting like ones.

Just go back with him first.

He is losing his temper now.

And you're gonna stay here alone?

He's losing it, and you're being crazy.

My mom is coming to get me.

Just go with him, or you're gonna miss the last ride.

I will tell you everything later.

How about your backpack?

Tell your mom to pick you up at the bus stop.

*sound on the radio* ... He wanted to ask the radio to play the song

To send it to his tablemate whom he had yet to express his love for before the end of the school year.

This is a song from the movie those two watched together.

And now, please enjoy the song:

Why did our last day turn out like that?

What's the matter Trieu?

I forgot to tell you guys...

I didn't take the university entrance exam in Saigon.

My grandmother's condition is getting worse,

I will go back to my hometown to take care of her in Dalat.

I'm planning to sell my current house,

then spend that money on her medicine.

Today...

probably the last day for three of us.

Do you remember when you and Thien told me to transfer to Group D?

Yes, I remember.

At that time, I seriously wanted to study journalism.

To become a reporter

and freely use your own pen to expose the downside of this society

A common voice of everyone.

How life is going to be, either good or bad...

Fuck it!

I will never give in to this society.

That suits you.

But what does that mean,

the more you listen, the more meaningless it is.

Now I'm stuck with my own life.

Why the thing I fear the most

is coming so soon?

*sound of arguing* How can you say that?

Did you consider me as your wife?

1 year ago

Can't believe our summer vacation is about to end.

And we are going to school again.

My goodness!

The Sky today follows the earth's calendar, huh?

Hey, stop making fun of my birth name.

Luckily, he hasn't made fun of your parents' names yet.

Is that so, Ms. Thuy?

Don't you know

There are many guys named Thuy.

Emperor Bao Dai, his real name is Vinh Thuy.

One is the Sky, another one is a Jade.

I admit

when your parents named you guys

they must have known you two would be somebody's grandfathers.

I'm just a nameless stream.

Hopefully, you won't flow to Nhieu Loc canal.

Shiet!

Hey, don't waste it!

You can still pick it up within 3 seconds.

Why you are so dirty?

Look at him!

I won't let you eat it.

Alright, it's yours.

I wonder what we will be like 10 years later?

I will still steal Trieu's ice cream.

Speechless.

10 years later, still want to eat ice cream with you two.

What's up, Thuy?

Can you go to the airport at 4pm?

His flight is today,

come to meet him the last time.

What? I heard that he will go next month.

Last night, after picking him up at Vung Tau

his mom bought an early ticket for him right away.

Probably because of his hair.

We don't know when he can come back.

Can you just forgive him for now

and meet him once before he go?

Let me think about it.

Hey, Thien.

You must be Trieu?

I'm Thien mother.

Thien is going to study abroad,

so he doesn't use this phone number anymore.

I understand.

My son mentioned about you a lot.

Please don't bother Thien from now on.

Going abroad to study very hard,

Thien really likes you, so he always neglects his studies.

What do you mean?

I hope Trieu can stop contacting Thien.

Or else, he will neglect his duties.

Even we still contact each other,

I don't think it affects Thien's study.

You are a bit slow to understand, aren't you?

Then I would like to say frankly that

I am very dissatisfied with you.

Because of you, Thien is spoiled,

very disobedient to parents.

You have a bad influence on Thien,

so I don't want you to contact and bother him anymore.

She wants to get rid of me as soon as possible,

so I can't see the one I love anymore.

The one I love,

is not in love with me.

It's not easy to have such a beautiful moment like this.

Hey Trieu, have you come yet?

He has to go to the check-in area at six o'clock, won't you come?

Give the phone to Thien, I want to talk with him.

I'm listening.

You lied to me, didn't you?

What are you talking about?

The person that doesn't fit your family's standards,

who is not bad at all, very nice on the other hand,

whom you liked in grade 11,

he is me, right?

Your mother forced you to study abroad early

because she thought you were gay because of me, right?

Yes, that's right.

From year 11, until now...

That person has always been you.

Why did you have to do those things?

You just had to be honest

then three of us wouldn't be like this.

We are closer to our denied egos more than ourselves.

Back then, I was afraid of my gender.

so I tried my best to prevent all unwanted things.

Afterwards, I was afraid of what I had done.

Thuy and I are two idiots to you.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to drag you guys into my trouble.

When I have a clear thought, we will talk again.

How was it?

Have you two solved everything yet?

I can't understand what happened between you guys.

It's because of me.

He liked you,

and he wanted to confess with you.

He misunderstood you because of me.

So he didn't dare to do it.

I also told you that Trieu was straight.

But he liked you a lot back then

and he still likes you until now.

What is the point of knowing it now?

Trieu and I can't be together.

I'm sorry.

It's because of me...

We were cowards, afraid of losing our friendship

we didn't dare to say it to each other.

Looking back, we did look down on this friendship.

Why it's you fault?

It's all because three of us are fools.

You fools are the most precious things I have ever had.

I wished the three of us could always be together no matter what,

but probably because three of us took this friendship lightly,

Hey Trieu!

Thien has entered the airport check-in area.

Okay, I get it.

Thank you.

Sometimes, being broken is a good thing.

Because you can patch up once again,

and heal yourself.

When all your fragments, scattered on the ground in front of you

whether beautiful or ugly,

you can pick up the most precious piece

and rebuild a whole new person.

But sometimes, the most precious piece is the one who walked away,

to a place far beyond the sea.

THE END.
