Once we pass the bamboo line, we’ll see a firebreak, then we’ll arrive.

Wait.

Why are we back in the same spot?

Whoa!

Have we arrived?

Just like you’re worried about Teacher Tian.

I’m worried about Pran.

If you mess up, I’ll leave you there.

Thank you, Chief.

We’re almost there, Teacher.

Teacher!

Tian!

Chief!

You’re just insecure and not sure if you’re good enough.

When you finish reading this diary,

you might understand Teacher’s feelings better.

Tian, don’t make me worry like that again.

If anything happens to you,

how will I live?

I can’t live without you.

What’s that?

Omelette?

It is.

What? Why’s our last meal here so bleak?

What do you mean, ‘bleak’?

This is what Teacher Tian had before he left this place.

This is perfect.

Fine.

Come to think of it, this trip is…

It’s kinda like a film-inspired trip, don’t you think?

Swimming in a waterfall and cuddling in a hut…

It sure is perfect.

Wanna act out every scene… Chief?

Why not, Teacher?

Do I have to strengthen my back when I sit, like Chief does?

I don’t know.

Feels like he only sits like that ’cause his back hurts.

[Be careful, it’s hot!]

[Mosquitos here are blood-thirsty. Use the net.]

[Pat and Pran’s Love Sprout]

Got it.

What are you two doing?

Just taking some selfies.

It’s our keepsake.

When I left for Bangkok,

I wasn’t anywhere near as lovey-dovey as you guys.

Just a bit.

Is that all your things?

Yes, it is.

Alright.

Chief and I will load it on the truck.

Please.

Thank you.

Let’s go, Chief.

Well…

The children were picking tea leaves.

Here’s a tea bag from Pha Pun Dao.

Thank you.

Here’s a souvenir from me.

It’s herbs from our mountain.

It’ll cure anything.

Oh, from that day when you were picking herbs.

Yes.

Alright. I’ll make sure I try it.

Thank you.

Yes.

I’m sorry Chief won’t sign it.

But well…

Thank you for trying your best.

It’s alright.

Meeting everyone is worth all the effort.

We have nothing to give you.

This, then.

Think of it as a memento.

For when you miss me, that is.

Thanks.

Our stuff is packed and ready to go.

Are you?

Yeah.

See you, Teacher.

Let’s go out to eat next time you’re in Bangkok. My treat.

I’m a big eater, I’ll have you know.

No problem.

See you.

And…

Think of this place as your home.

You’re always welcome here.

Alright.

Alright, then.

Safe trip back.

Chief.

Chief?

Are you gonna play hard to get until the very last minute?

Pat.

Chief.

I believe you will miss me.

Are you coming?

We’re ready to leave.

Bye, Kampung.

Bye.

Let’s get going.

Do you want to spend another night?

Let’s go.

Let’s go, Yod.

Let’s go, Yod.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

See you, Chief. Bye-bye, Kampung.

Have a safe trip.

Mr. Tian.

I’m going home to help my mother pick tea leaves.

Careful on your way back, Kampung.

Yes.

Chief.

You hungry?

I’ll make something.

I’m not hungry.

Oh, fine.

I’ll admit I fell first.

I’m sorry I ran into the woods.

Can you stop pouting now?

You think an apology would make up for it?

Oh?

What do you want me to do, then?

You know what?

I’ll do anything.

I’ll hold you to it.

You have to come again next time.

Of course.

How long will it take?

Oh, 10 hours, at least.

10 hours? Really?

My back already hurts.

Bear with it for a bit.

Come again, alright?

Definitely.

Oh.

My phone’s dead.

Can I have the power bank?

It’s in your bag.

Grab it for me, please?

I don’t want to.

Oh?

What?

You took this with you?

I remember giving it to Chief.

Look.

Chief actually signed it!

[Conditions are on the back page.]

What?

Is he for real?

What’s going on?

Are you serious?

You want to take a shower here at the waterfall?

You said I sneaked a peek last time.

Well, I’m not sneaking today.

I’m taking an eyeful.

Quit playing.

You said you’d do anything.

Fine.

Alright.

I get it.

Are you happy now, Chief?

Chief?

Stop hiding.

Chief!

Are you trying to get back at me?

No.

I just want to swim, too.

This place is plenty big enough for two people.

Can’t you swim a little further off?

Do you really want me to?

You wrote in your diary that you were taking a peek.

Well?

I’m giving you a closer look.

Tian, why’d you do that?

No, don’t.

You pervert.

You’re no different.

How so?

You pinched my nipples.

Because you were being ridiculous.

I’m gone.

Where do you think you’re going?

Play with me.

No way.

Tian.

But I want to play with you.

Aren’t you mad at me anymore?

Still am.

Give it back.

Mr. Tian.

Do this.

[Art Class]

This?

Hold your arms up.

Too high.

Too high?

Is this okay now?

It is.

Okay.

I think this pose is too easy.

It won’t be fun.

Think of a more difficult pose.

Lift your leg.

My leg?

Yes.

Alright. Leg is lifted.

What else?

Lean forward.

Why?

Lean forward.

Okay, okay.

But I think…

It won’t be fun drawing just one person.

Do you guys want to draw the Green Giant?

Yes!

There.

Go grab him.

The Green Giant is here.

Come.

Get him out here.

You started this, you know?

Green Giant, please stand here and protect Mr. Tian.

Protect him?

Yes.

Now hug him.

Hold him tight.

Alright.

Let’s draw.

Alright.

Let’s go.

Can you please stay still?

I can’t draw.

You started it.

Stay still.

This is a school, you know?

You’re ruining their drawings.

We’re in school.

It’s for Art class.

You’re just the model for their drawings right now.

Right?

Please stay still.

I’m starving.

Almost done. Wait a minute.

Done.

There you go.

Are you going to keep getting back at me for everything?

I just miss the good old days.

Way back when you weren’t such a pain to deal with, that is.

Unlike you,

who have always been so mean to me.

Am I mean?

Tian…

Will you feed me?

Please stop.

You’re giving me goosebumps.

Please, Tian?

Take a bite.

Just do it yourself.

I’d love to try it, too.

It’s good.

How about we…

sleep here tonight?

Why?

I want to know if

you forgot how to set up a mosquito net.

Oh, you…

Will you please get out of the way, Chief?

Chief.

Are you sure you don’t want to come celebrate with me?

I’m sorry, Tian.

Chief.

Chief.

It’s morning.

How would you rate my performance last night?

Hmm?

What are you even asking?

Where did you remember that from?

Well?

On a scale of 10, how would you rate me?

This.

And this.

Happy now?

11?

Chief?

Chief!

Chief, are you up?

Chief!

I’m bringing you breakfast.

Just put it there.

I’ll go get it.

Let’s go.

I’m borrowing this.

It’s a forest officer’s t-shirt…

Aren’t you afraid that it’s illegal now?

Why would I be?

The officers’ wives here wear them all the time.

Isn’t that right?

Chief! Teacher!

Chief! Teacher!

Yod, you’re early.

My wife made some piping hot curry for you guys.

Be careful. It’s hot.

Thank you, Yod.

Sure.

Oh, Teacher.

Pran asked for that photo of you in traditional costume.

He wanted it for his play.

What play?

I thought Chief didn’t sign the consent form.

Huh?

But…

you signed it, didn’t you, Chief?

Hey.

So you’re really no longer mad at me?

Hmm?

Then what’s with all this punishing?

We need to talk.

Hey, Chief!

Chief!

You were brooding and teasing me for days, you know that?

Chief.

We need to talk.

Come here and talk to me.

Stop messing with me.

Stop it.

Oh, aren’t they always looking for excuses to get close, these two?

Thank you, Yod.

Of course.

Is that all your stuff?

Yes.

Alright.

Chief.

Are you sure you don’t want to come celebrate with me?

I’m sorry, Tian.

I was joking.

I know you’re busy.

Next time?

I’m telling you, you don’t have to worry, Chief.

I’ll drop him off right at his doorstep.

I happen to have some errands to run in Bangkok, too.

Are you ready to go, Teacher?

Yes.

Well, then, hop in.

See?

He’ll keep me company.

Give me a hug?

Have a safe trip, Tian.

I’m off.

Oh, this is great.

Let’s get going.

You ready, Teach?

Hit it, Yod.

Alright!

See you later, Chief!

Darn it, Yod.

I really am so sorry, Teacher.

I really want to drop you off at home.

But something suddenly came up.

It’s alright.

I’ll find my way.

Oh, no can do.

I’ve already got you a ride home.

You just have to wait here.

Do not go anywhere.

What ride do you mean?

Just wait here.

Deal?

What?

Stay here.

I’ve got you a ride.

Just wait.

I’m off, Teach.

Sure.

Did you call for a ride?

Chief?

Wow.

Cool car.

How did you get here?

Don’t tell me you came here with me.

Did you?

But…

Oh.

Yod were gone for so long

because he was waiting for you, wasn’t he?

Aren’t you tired?

Why don’t we talk in the car?

Well?

What are you doing here?

I just remember I had something to do here.

So I thought I might take a break as well.

Where would you like to go?

It’s your hometown.

How’d I know that?

What do you people go to on your days off?

I’ll be your guide.

We’re here, Chief.

What do you think?

Is it bigger than it was the last time you were here?

It is quite big.

Do you think the buildings here are as tall as the mountains there?

They make the mountains look tiny.

Really?

Nope.

Hey, Chief.

Are you hungry?

Are you?

I am.

Lead the way.

Let’s have dessert.

Dessert?

That’s right. Dessert.

We don’t have it often enough, don’t you think?

Thank you. Please wait a moment.

The price for one dessert can feed us for a whole week back home.

It’s the price for the place as well.

But just forget about that.

Because it’s my treat today.

Oh, it’s here.

Excuse me.

Hey, hold on. What are you doing?

Wait a sec.

Why?

People around here let their camera feed before they do.

Let me snap a shot.

We don’t get to do this kind of thing every day, you know?

What are you doing?

Taking photos of the food.

Can I dig in now?

Yes.

Here.

What?

I’m feeding you.

We’re in public.

We are in public, and what about it?

Alright, I’m serious.

Chief.

Let’s take some photos.

No.

Please. Please. Please.

- Let’s take some photos. - No.

It’s just every once in a while, please?

Please?

Come on.

One, two, three.

Look at my face.

What else should we do?

It’s up to you.

You said you were going to be my guide.

I know now.

Let’s go shopping.

But I already have more than enough clothes?

See?

You can have a little more.

Let’s go.

I picked out the best outfit for this occasion, you know?

Sure. Come on.

I’m not changing my clothes, Tian.

Hello.

Take your pick, Chief.

What’s wrong with my clothes?

Nothing is wrong.

It’s just I don’t get to buy you clothes all the time.

So will you just please indulge me?

Please?

I doubt I should, Tian.

It’s alright.

I’ll take care of this.

Sorry, can we try this on?

Is this the one you like?

See?

It looks cool.

And this one, please.

Yes.

And these pants.

What do you think? ♪ High as the sky or deep down low ♪

♪ High as the sky or deep down low ♪

You’re so handsome. You got a boyfriend?

I am your boyfriend.

See?

You in this outfit sure get people’s attention.

Are you trying to embarrass me?

Of course not.

We changed to honor the play.

Hey.

Whoa! They’re actors themselves.

Chief actually signed it!

[Conditions are on the back page.]

[It has to be you two who play the parts.]

What?

[It has to be you two who play the parts.]

Is he for real?

I guess they didn’t even think they’d do it.

No one gets us better than these two.

So what changed your mind?

You finally let them do the play.

I first thought a story of a minor forest officer

wouldn't be interesting enough to tell.

Until I read your diary.

I got the answer then.

Come on.

Let’s get inside.

This row.

Right here, Ink.

Okay.

Are you excited?

Lots of people here.

My name is Tian.

I had heart disease.

But I could live on because of her decease.

And these are the stories of my life.

Looking good.

No, not like you at all.

Chief.

This is Mr. Tian, the new volunteer teacher.

Hey!

Mr. Tian!

Mr. Tian!

Yod, go get help.

Yes, Chief.

Ink, do you think Mr. Tian intentionally threw himself at him?

The chief though, why does he have to poke his face so close to him?

Ahem.

Sorry.

Chief.

There is something I want to tell you.

I…

What?

Are you going to confess your love to me?

Oh, come on.

Chief.

Honestly, did you pretend to sleep?

917, 918…

919…

Damn it.

1, 2…

Tian.

Stop it.

I can’t do it, Chief.

I can’t get this done for her.

Tian,

you have done enough.

Listen to me.

No one should use their whole life to repay anyone else’s life.

I know that Torfun could see this

and forgive you.

Chief.

You threw water at me once.

Now, you aim your gun at me?

Tian.

Do you remember?

You missed one star…

that night when you counted.

I found it.

The last star.

It is you.

You are the star that fell to me.

No.

It is you.

The guiding star that led my way out of the darkness.

I knew it since the first day,

the day you held me in your arms.

It’s the right moment to kiss!

The play has ended, hasn’t it?

Why is the curtain not closed?

Wai.

The curtain?

Come on. Serve the audience.

That’s the way to end it.

What?

What are you waiting for? Do it.

Do what?

This.

Don’t think so.

We have no choice.

Woo-hoo!

I never thought my brother could act.

He’s great.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Congrats.

I didn’t think you could pull it off.

Of course, I could.

I loved it so much but it’s just too short.

I need 10 more episodes.

Please.

We barely got this one to happen.

I got a question.

Is Mr. Tian this saucy in real life?

Watch your mouth.

You wanna know?

Yes.

Ask him yourself.

You look so cool in person.

You look great just like Pran said.

It’s too late.

Okay.

You in this outfit look even better than the original.

You in this outfit look even better than the original.

Thank you, Mr. Tian.

Thank you, Chief, for letting us make this play.

Thank you guys too for giving me a chance to finish the diary.

Ah…should we take photos?

Let’s capture the moment.

Why are you stuttering?

Let’s do it.

Ink, you’re the photographer.

Get closer.

Alright.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Hold on.

Yes, Mom.

Sorry. The play has just finished.

Okay. I’m on my way.

Yes.

I need to go, Chief.

I’m asking you one last time.

Will you come and meet my parents?

I’m sorry, Tian.

I have something important to get to.

That important?

I’m meeting seniors.

But I can drop you off.

It’s okay.

I can manage.

I’m off then.

Look. We got some food support here.

The tiredness is just gone, huh, Chief?

What are you watching?

The videos of the play people are sharing.

Look at you watching yourself and blushing.

Oh, hey.

Will your dad be okay with this?

The videos are everywhere.

My dad?

No.

He isn’t on social media.

Your family though.

Your mom likes every photo of yours.

Is she really happy about it?

She is.

She knows it’s just a play.

Nothing serious.

Now that we’re behind the curtain.

Can we kiss as Pat and Pran?

Pran, I forgot my key.

Can I use your bathroom?

Please, I can’t hold it.

Cover your ears.

What?

Cover your ears.

Ow!

Go get your sister.

Are you gonna just sit here?

I am.

I missed you guys.

We missed you too.

[Chief Phupha]

He’s here.

Hey.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

I missed you guys.

We missed you too.

Don’t you look skinnier?

No way. I can’t get bigger than this.

I’ve been eating well.

What about you two?

I’m good.

Worry about your mom. She’s on her phone all day.

I love reading your diary.

Let’s take a seat.

Come. You hungry?

Wait. Did you come alone?

Yes.

[Chief Phupha]

Hello.

Happy birthday, Tian.

That’s all?

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, happy birthday ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Oh, come on.

Look at how disappointed you are.

I’m not.

Happy birthday, my dear friend Tian.

Whatever you want, wish for it.

Thanks.

Happy birthday.

So?

Your wish has been granted, right?

Sorry, I’m late.

It’s okay.

It’s good enough you came.

I was keeping my fingers crossed.

Come more often.

Yes, sir.

Let’s sit down.

Sit with me, Tul.

I heard your father was a forest officer too, right, Phupha?

He was.

He loved Pha Pun Dao so much.

That’s why I chose to work there.

So I could carry on his work.

And what if I’d like to leave one thing I love the most in your hands?

Will you do it?

That’d be my honor.

Please take care of him.

Sir, ma’am, I think I should run home now.

- Goodbye. - Sure.

Get home safe.

Yes, ma’am.

I’ll see you later.

Chief, please help my friend here.

He said he wanted a six-pack abs like you.

Go away.

- Goodbye. - Bye-bye.

Well, we should get going too.

All right.

We’re leaving now.

Goodbye.

I’ll see him off first and follow you home later.

Sure.

Let’s go.

What were you guys talking about?

It looked quite serious.

Tian.

Hm?

Can we not go home just yet?

In the mood for a walk, huh?

Just wanted to take you to see the stars.

The stars?

Pha Pun Dao’s sky is much more beautiful, Chief.

But if you want me to see the stars,

I will do it.

I’ll even count them just for fun.

1

2

3…

That’s all we have, Chief.

4.

Where is 4?

Hm?

Seriously?

So this was your important matter?

All those times I refused to come down here with you

because I wanted your parents to be sure first

that I could take care of you.

We finally have a thousand stars now.

You want to make a wish?

No matter how long it is from now,

I wish for us to never be apart.

Forever.

Chief, I told Mom I’d crash here tonight.

Actually, you could’ve spent the night at my house

so you didn’t have to pay.

This is my friend’s hotel.

It’s budget-friendly.

This is where we always stay when we come here.

So what are you doing?

Writing a diary.

Almost done.

Finally, the chief put the 1000th star on my finger.

The most romantic night of ours ended there.

Are you sure tonight has already ended?

Huh?

What are you saying?

You cheeky.

You don’t know it’s already ended.

Let me take a shower first.

Okay?

And what if I said no?

You’re aggressive tonight.

Don’t you like it?

Ouch!

Tian!

You really think you’re the only one who can play it cool?

You think I can’t be aggressive too?

Huh?

Tian, what are you doing?

Tian!

Alright. I surrender.

Don’t.

Don’t you get up.

Tian, what are you doing?

Chief!

Come here.

Tian.

I’m sorry, alright?

Come here.

Tian. Ow!

You’re not the only one who can do it.

Tian.

Chief.

Chief.

What’s happening in there?

Tian, Yod can hear us.

- Keep it down. - An earthquake in there?

I don’t care.

He can hear us.

It’s okay.

Tian.

Please.

This is how you want it?

Yes. So?

Chief.

No!
