What is this about?

This is the area around Phase 3 where demolition is being negotiated.

Demolition?

Yes.

Mrs. Hong told me the other day that the Marina project would affect my diner.

And I just found out that the new project assignment is the Marina Food Court.

Tell me which faculty or university you want to go to.

I want to spend a few years in the US.

You? Studying in the US?

I do understand his concern for me.

But I want to try living my own life.

Do you want to go Loy Krathong together?

Are you no longer angry with me?

I told you I wouldn’t be angry with you.

Hm?

Hey.

Pretending to sleep?

Huh?

What are you looking at?

You like…

my eyes?

Hm?

Like this?

Chapter 4: The Midnight of Lifetime

Alan.

Alan.

Alan.

Back to your spot.

Sorry.

Alan, you forgot to pay the electricity bill.

All right. I’ll do it now.

Jean invited us to his restaurant’s anniversary party this Saturday.

You’re coming too.

Just bring her my congratulations gift.

Why aren’t you coming?

It’ll be just a while.

We eat and leave.

I don’t know my place in her life anymore.

I don’t know how to tell her either.

Tell her whatever you want.

You can handle it, can’t you?

I’m not going.

She invited you too.

If you’re not going, let her know yourself.

Can you stop?

Stop pushing the burden towards me.

If I go, then we must pretend we’re still together.

I don’t like that.

It’s awkward.

I’m off to work.

Can a one-night stand turn into a serious relationship?

Damn!

Are you serious?

You’ve been obsessed.

How can something started from sex develop to love?

It’s like we started from step 10.

What should I do with steps 1-9?

Just start counting from one.

Isn’t it better when you don’t have to hope for it to work out

since you guys already matched?

It’s better than starting with love and a good relationship

but your sex life is bad.

That’s a waste of time.

I get that.

But since I started my day 1 like that,

I don’t know how to carry on.

Treat it as an activity.

Like when you catch a movie, go shopping, or go to the gym.

Don’t put too much meaning into sex.

It’s just sex.

Don’t be serious.

By the way,

if you want to start your new chapter,

finish the old one first.

Li Ming.

Uncle!

What are you doing?

What are you doing, Uncle?

Nothing.

Nothing?

You were going through my stuff.

This is my room.

Why are you doing this?

So you’re never gonna trust me, are you?

It’s one mistake.

Can’t you forgive that?

Li Ming!

Li Ming.

What’s wrong with your phone? I couldn’t reach you.

My phone died.

Where have you been?

A friend’s house.

You kept me up all night waiting.

I was worried sick, you know?

What would I do if something happened to you?

Come on.

I’ve grown up, Uncle.

I can take care of myself.

If you’re grown up, be responsible.

Let me know where you go.

I’m still responsible for your life.

I pay for your tuition.

So I owe you, huh?

You’ve never asked once

if I wanted to be born.

Do you think I want to be born?

I was born into freaking poverty.

I moved here to find myself working my ass…

Li Ming!

Do you think I’m happy to see you like this?

I’m trying.

I’m trying to give you a better life.

Whatever I have, I give it all to you.

Then I don’t want it anymore.

If you say so,

then no more anything from you.

Li Ming!

However I want to live my life

is my damn business.

Whatever shit I decide to do

- is my freaking– - Li Ming!

Don't you raise your voice at me.

Sorry.

Stop forcing your dream down my throat.

Can you just tell me honestly?

Are you truly happy?

Is running a Chicken Rice diner really your dream?

[Documentation Required for Minors to Leave the Country]

I’m a little pissed.

Oh!

Sorry.

I didn’t mean to.

Oh! Hey!

Sorry.

Oops.

Hey!

Stop. Stop it.

Enough.

Stop.

Look at me.

I'm soaking wet here.

What are you playing?

Oh, please.

Look at the color.

I’m not wearing it. It’s too sweet.

Here.

No. Take it back.

[Wen]

I’m gonna…

take this call.

Just a moment.

How can I help?

Surprise!

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday, happy birthday ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

[Happy birthday, Uncle Jim.]

Happy birthday, Uncle.

Hey. Say it.

I’m sorry, Uncle.

Woo-hoo!

What?

You’re a man now and I can’t nag you or what?

Hm?

Uncle!

Hey.

Uncle, don’t.

It’s for eating, not playing.

Honey, grab us some spoons.

Where are the spoons, Uncle?

- Right here. The plates are over there. - Leng!

If nobody wants it, I’ll eat it.

Very funny.

The birthday guy hasn’t–

The birthday guy hasn’t started eating yet.

I’m happy enough that you guys remembered my birthday.

No more surprises next time.

I was startled.

Not us.

He’s the one with the surprise idea.

Dressed up so nicely.

A spoon, please.

So?

Don’t you like my compliment?

Eat.

Can I get a knife, Praew?

Should I cut it?

Uncle.

It’s a birthday gift from Gaipa.

Should we open it?

Sure.

One, two, three.

Yeah!

Thanks a lot.

Here.

Can I really crash here?

Of course.

Why?

I’m sure I’m self-contained.

What do you mean, Uncle?

We’re all adults.

[Gaipa: Happy birthday, Uncle.] [Gaipa: Sorry, I didn’t go. I needed to keep Mom company.] [Jim: It’s okay. Thank you for the booze. Leng drank half of it.]

What are you smiling at?

Uncle and nephew are both handsome.

Maybe he’s really grown up.

It’s just me who always regards him as a kid.

No surprises.

When you decide on something for him, you think he’s too young.

But when you expect him to do something,

you think he’s old enough.

It’s normal.

It’s called the generation gap.

I’m almost 30.

In my mom’s opinion, I’m still 13.

Slowly adjust.

Don’t think too much.

It’s your birthday.

Smile more.

I have a present for you, by the way.

It’s a limited edition.

Seriously.

Let’s see.

I screen-printed it myself.

Thank you.

Well, try it on.

See if I got your size correctly.

All right.

It’s a little tight.

Right.

Don’t you like me?

Thank you for the present.

I’m going to take a shower.

It’s not gonna work.

It’s old.

Let’s try it first.

It might.

Come on.

What a shame.

Hey. Can you present your movie?

I want to hear it.

It’s bittersweet.

Love in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The male lead meets the female lead.

And they fall in love.

But the guy already has a fiancée.

That’s all?

No.

The guy marries his fiancée. The girl even attends his wedding.

Maybe they don’t love each other enough?

If they do, they will try harder for their love.

No.

I think they both try hard enough.

Their way out is to be patient and live on with their lives.

And…

Watch it yourself.

You want me to tell you the whole story or what?

No.

I don’t like watching sad movies.

My life is dramatic enough.

That’s what I call bittersweet.

I really like this movie.

By the way,

do you know where Li Ming got his name from?

From where?

The name of the main actor in this movie.

Really?

Li Xiao Jun, played by Li Ming.

It’s true.

Uncle, if you’re the male lead, who would you choose,

your fiancée or the girl you like?

For me, if the timing is wrong,

it’s still wrong even though the person is right.

Aren’t you just clingy?

Clingy cat.

I think he wants to sit with you, Uncle.

Give him a snack.

He might feel better.

Yeah?

Jimbo.

It’s snack time.

Cats are the hardest animal to please. Don’t you think?

I bet you love it, huh, Jimbo?

It smells great.

No wonder why Jimbo enjoys it so much.

How do you know he enjoys it?

Come on.

They must have tasted it before launching the product.

Tasted the cat snack?

Are you kidding me?

It’s edible, Uncle.

Let’s say if I try this cat snack, you try it too.

What are you doing? I’m not playing this.

Come on.

Eat up, Jimbo.

What?

No.

Eat it.

Let Jimbo eat it.

You eat it first.

Hey, no.

Eat.

No.

Come on.

No way.

Jimbo, come here.

I’m feeding him.

No. Let’s just feed him.

You eat it then. You said it’s edible.

Just try it first, Uncle.

No.

[Alan]

You eat it first.

You said it first. You try it first.

Give it to Jimbo.

You can spend the night somewhere else.

But you should at least tell me.

Sorry. I forgot.

And can you please pick up my calls?

What if I have something urgent?

Do you?

If you do, say it right now.

To make it seem urgent to you, should someone die first?

I found myself a new condo.

You can start making plans of what to do when I move out.

A new condo

or a new boyfriend’s condo?

Don’t even bother to ask

why I don’t want to come back here.

Gong.

Hey.

What’s up?

Do you know anything about Wen?

Whatever you want to know, ask him.

I’m an outsider.

If you’re an outsider, don’t take sides.

Aren’t I your friend too?

Don’t say that.

Whatever fight you guys have, I’m always caught up in the middle.

You should at least tell me something.

Don’t leave me clueless like I’m an idiot.

Yeah.

I think he’s talking to someone.

That’s all I know.

I still want you two to find the way out.

Clear things up.

Why, Gong?

Am I not good enough?

I tried for him.

Everything I did, I meant well.

Hope you don’t think I’m cruel.

I get that you meant well.

But you should’ve asked him too if he wanted it.

I don’t know anymore.

I don’t know what to do.

How about you try doing nothing?

Gong.

Do you know this guy?

[A chilling seller.]

Uncle.

Uncle.

Uncle Jim.

Gaipa.

What are you doing here so early?

Don’t tell me you just got up.

I did.

I'm going to go get your car inspected and the registration renewed.

Look at you.

Did you forget?

Oh, right.

I did forget, Gaipa.

I have to run an errand.

Can we take a rain check?

Where are you going?

A bank.

Let’s say I drop you off at the bank first and pick you up once I’m done.

Okay?

No, Gaipa.

I feel bad. I’ll do it myself.

Just give me the vehicle inspection facility number.

No way.

I already dressed up for it, Uncle.

Let me take you.

Can I?

All right then.

Just a moment.

Go take a shower.

All right.

Go.

Wait a moment.

Sure.

Are you going in there with me or what?

Yes. Just hurry up.

Okay.

A159, please.

Hello. Applying for a business loan, right, sir?

Yes, I am.

You don’t have the company's registration.

Have you got any collateral to secure the loan?

I have a car.

But it’s still in finance.

Cars in finance can’t be used as collateral, sir.

Is your house or your shop under your name?

They’re both rental properties.

Just a second, please.

Alan, over here, please.

How may I help?

The client has no statement or collateral.

May I see the documents?

This is Mr. Alan, Head of the Loan Credit Department.

Hello.

This can be difficult.

I suggest you find a surety

or borrow someone else's asset to use as collateral.

You can make the contract with them later.

Just what I said.

Sure.

I’m sorry.

It’s okay.

Well, well.

Aren’t you so happy?

You’re smiling from ear to ear. I can see it from here.

It’s nothing, Mom.

Look at you. Your face says otherwise.

I look like this every day.

Does he show any sign at all though?

No.

Mom, why is it so hard to hit on an old man?

What?

No signs at all?

I don’t know if he’s shy, he’s being humble, or he simply doesn’t like me.

I can’t tell.

When I was hitting on your dad, it was just the same.

This thing takes time.

Men don’t like to get hit on.

They think it hurts their stupid pride.

Your child here is a man too, you know?

I know.

What I meant was you should let him hit on you instead.

Play hard to get.

You have only one life.

Go ahead and do whatever you want.

I only have one ask.

Don’t regret it later.

Okay?

Go for it.

- Mom. - Yeah?

Have you felt regret about anything?

Regret?

Sometimes.

I regret having just one child.

If I had one more, you would have had someone to play with.

That should be good.

Right.

And do you regret it?

Regret what?

That I’m gay.

No.

But I’d regret it

if my child didn’t love anyone at all.

Have a boyfriend already, for me.

Please.

Please, please.

Come on, Mom.

You’re wasting your handsomeness.

Please.

Like having a boyfriend is so easy.

If so, I wouldn’t be lonely like this.

When did you find out?

To be honest,

parents know what their kids are.

But I’m way cooler.

I knew since you were a kid.

But…

you just like men.

It’s no biggies.

Right?

Right.

Of course.

Go for it.

Sure.

Fight for it.

You can do it, son.

You like this song very much, don’t you?

I attracted your dad with this song.

Uncle.

Hello.

Hey.

You said you couldn’t come today and on Christmas.

I changed my mind.

I’d rather celebrate Christmas with you.

What are these things?

These?

They’re leftovers from the mall decorations.

Don’t tell anyone that.

Your diner is still undecorated.

Right?

Uncle.

I went to a Christian school as a kid.

They made me dress up like Jesus on Christmas.

When I was young, I went to a temple school.

I only knew Buddist’s religious days.

Do you know Santa Claus?

Everyone knows Santa Claus, all right?

Yeah?

So tomorrow,

this Chicken Rice diner will be run by Santa Claus.

Hey.

No.

Say, “Ho ho ho.”

You’re playing like a child.

Come on, Uncle.

Age is just a number.

You should have fun sometimes.

Do I look great?

I’m making rice porridge for you tomorrow.

What would you like?

One plain roti, please.

And one with banana and egg, please.

Thank you.

Today,

did you have fun?

(Me too.)

I

want to

take you

somewhere.

Wanna come?

[Mass for Deaf Community]

We’re going to sing too, right?

Right.

Tell them.

Translate it for them.

Come here.

Hello.

Hello.

Hi.

We’re going in, then.

Sure. Please take care of them.

My name is Li Ming.

This is Heart.

Li Ming?

Are you the one who reached out and said you’d bring a friend?

That’s right.

Hey.

Do you want to join them?

Please.

This is how it is.

They might be quiet, but actually, they’re vibrant.

It’s true.

Do you want to find out?

Let’s get closer to them.

She’s a sign language teacher.

My friend looks really happy.

Deaf people are the loneliest people.

They see everything, but they can’t hear a thing.

If no one talks to them, they won’t understand anything at all.

I haven’t been able to adjust very well.

Sometimes, when I’m with him,

I don’t know what to say or what to do.

It’s like I’m always worried.

I don’t know how to act.

Li Ming, you can just

talk to him.

Touch him.

When he can’t hear,

physical touch will make him feel like there’s someone next to him.

Other than that, treat him as a non-deaf person.

Nothing different.

Treat him as a non-deaf person?

Yes.

Over?

Let’s talk somewhere else.

You want to be over with me

because of this jerk?

No.

Then tell me.

Did you sleep with him?

You dumped me

for this Chicken Rice seller?

Hey!

Stay the f**k out!

Calm down.

I asked you a question.

Just answer.

Did you sleep with him?

Mister, I think you should leave.

If he’s too afraid to answer,

then you answer it.

Did you sleep with my boyfriend?

Answer me.

Hey.

Did you sleep with my boyfriend?

You stop!

Are you okay?

Wen.

What the hell is wrong with you?

I broke up with him, Uncle.

Please believe me.

Please leave for now.

I can explain.

I’m sorry.

Do you remember my question?

I asked you if it’s going to be complicated.

Just return what you took to me.

Then what is this?

Whatever you choose, make it clear.

I…don’t love you anymore.

That’s one shitty excuse.

(I feel like a normal person.)

To me, you’re normal.
