Are you guys boyfriends now?

Not yet.

You guys are staying together. What should I call this relationship?

Friends.

Is there a problem, Leng?

Why is your wall so high?

Is it possible for me to be the right one for you?

I’m sorry, Gaipa.

Have you met that woman?

Who am I to meet her?

So that you can let go of what you’ve been doubting.

He didn’t want to break up with you.

If he did, he would’ve done it long ago.

Can I take Heart to hang out at my house?

3 2 1 Happy New Year. I wish you all the best in the coming year.

It might feel strange at first. Don't put all of your weight on it just yet.

Your body will remember and find an appropriate balance.

Remember to keep it away from water.

Let’s begin.

On the injured hand, don’t press it all the way. Just slightly.

Very good.

Now gently move the injured leg. Just place some weight.

There you go. Very good.

Now move the other leg.

In addition to this, his caregiver must assist him when going up and down the stairs.

Uh, Mister.

Mister.

Okay.

Then there's nothing else. Just be careful not to infect the wound.

While bathing, you may lift his injured leg up.

How long do I have to wear this brace?

You may come back here in 4-6 weeks to have it checked.

And is everything all right with the insurance?

It is.

How lucky that you have insurance.

Is there anyone who can look after you at home?

There is.

I used to wear a cast.

I should be able to look after him.

Chapter 7: My Heart Represents the Moon

Usually, you don't ride on a motorcycle's pillion.

I didn't want to drink and drive.

Who would have thought I'd gotten myself into more serious trouble?

Wen.

Hm?

You don’t need to look after me.

I…don’t want to impose on you.

I don't want to take away your time for work.

If you were me, you would do the same.

I already told Jeab that I would stay at her place.

She should be here to pick me up soon.

Don’t worry.

I already told her about us.

What did she say?

She said she kind of knew.

You haven't been to her house to eat with her in a while.

Don’t feel bad about it though.

I’ll be staying at the condo. If you need anything, tell me.

I’ll bring it to you.

Um.

Thanks.

Hey.

Good morning, Jeab.

- Hi.
- How are you doing? It’s been a while.

Thank you so much for looking after him over the past few days.

If you have time, come over to my house. The kids miss you.

Let me.

Thanks.

Watch it.

See you around.

See you.

All good?

Um.

Alan wanted to go with his sister-in-law.

Are you okay with that?

I didn’t expect to see her.

I didn’t know how to act around her.

But I think I’m okay.

Are you hungry?

Wanna grab something to eat together?

Sounds good.

What do you want to eat?

How about Somtum?

Somtum?

I know a good place. I’ll take you there.

Where is it?

On the beach.

Woah.

This place is stunning.

What’s wrong? The food is not good?

For a Northeasterner like me,

Somtum will never be to my liking unless I make it myself.

Make one for me next time.

Li Ming is the best cook when it comes to Somtum.

We are true Northeasterners.

Since I moved here,

I've never eaten on the beach casually like this.

I’ll take this as our first date.

You can call it whatever you want.

Come on. This is something both of us must agree upon.

When we recall our date anniversary in the future,

we can remember what we ate on our first date.

It doesn’t really matter. What’s the point of keeping track of it?

Listen. I don't mind if you're not romantic.

But when I'm feeling romantic, at least try to go along with it.

Uncle Jim.

I’ve cleaned all my mess.

Do you still not trust me?

It’s not about trusting you.

I’m just not sure about myself.

I’m at this age.

It’s not easy for me.

There are a lot of things I need to think about.

You always think too much.

Here.

Keep calm and eat chicken.

Uncle Jim.

If you eat it,

It means you're starting to open up to me.

If you refuse to eat it,

I will disappear from your life.

Plain chicken is too dry.

Why don’t you dip it in the sauce?

It’s not too dry now.

You don’t have to come here if you don’t want to see him.

It’s all right. I’m fine.

Someone will walk into your life one day. Believe me.

Mrs. Hong. For the chicken I owe.

How’s it going with the loan?

I wanted to talk to you about it the other day but you weren’t home.

I really appreciate you lending me the deed.

But I think I’d rather use the ones from my family.

I already asked my sister.

She said she could find a way to help me with that.

We are in the same neighborhood. I'll do what I can to help you.

Don’t worry about it.

Tomorrow, I need just 6 chickens.

I still have some left.

Gaipa.

Yes?

Write down his order for me.

Okay.

Gaipa.

Have you eaten?

I have.

Why don’t you get him some curry?
Don’t forget the rice noodles too.

No, thank you. I have eaten.

Then give it to your staff.

All right.

Here you go.

Thank you so much, Gaipa.

Thank you so much, Mrs. Hong.

See you again.

Are you okay, dear?

Stay strong.

Wait, Uncle Jim.

Give this stamp card back to Li Ming.

He left it here the other day.

Thank you.

Can I have one Bubble Tea?

Okay.

Make it two.

Li Ming, I don’t want it.

It’s not for you.

[Want to go to the cinema together this Valentine's Day?]

[Let me ask Mom.]

[OK :)]

Mom.

Li Ming.

How are you, dear?

I’m going in.

Uncle Jim went to the market. He should be back soon.

How are you doing, dear?

Have you gained weight at all? Huh?

I'm not sure. Still the same. I guess.

What about you? You didn’t say you would come.

I came down here with Tong to run errands.

Uncle Tong?

Do you remember him?

That uncle who took you fishing when you were small.

No, I don’t remember.

Well, I've recently been doing business with him.

So we see each other a lot and are close.

So he’s your new boyfriend?

He’s a nice guy.

He takes care of me in a lot of ways.

Well, his wife passed away many years ago.

He actually talked about marrying me, but I told him I didn't want that.

I'm this old. It's embarrassing to have more than one marriage.

But you'll marry him anyway, right?

What do you think about it?

If you want me to say it’s okay, say it.

Tong remembers you.

He wanted me to talk to you about it first.

I’m at this age in my life. Marriage is not something I want.

But he’s a well-settled man.

What are you trying to say, Mom?

I want to be with you.

My life is more comfortable now, you know?

And you're about to graduate from high school.

Maybe we can be together again.

Tong knows a dean at the college over there.

If you want to continue your studies, he can enroll you in that college.

I never said I wanted to study.

I never said I wanted to go back there with you.

What’s with you all?

Why do you all decide for me?

Nobody bothers to ask me first.

Isn’t it good to have options?

Yeah, it’s good.

What do you want me to be happy about first?

About your break up with Uncle Sith.

About your new boyfriend.

Or about you being well-off, having a comfortable life,

and wanting to take me back with you?

Why do you have to be so sarcastic?

I didn’t come a long way to pick a fight with you.

Well, I’ll be staying here with you for a few days.

[Where are you?]

[Out to see doctor with Mom. Will be back home in the evening.]

Where are you going now?

Outside.

Where?

Don’t know yet.

What do you mean?

I haven’t decided where I want to be yet.

Then stay home and study.

I’m going to Heart’s home.

Heart’s home?

What are you going there for?

Can’t I visit a friend’s place?

Li Ming.

Are you sure that’s a friend’s place?

I saw you and him kiss.

Can we talk about this later?

So what exactly is your relationship to him?

Huh?

What is your relationship to Wen? That’s what we are as well.

Li Ming. I’m your uncle.

So what?

Adults can do no wrong?

Adults can kiss, but kids cannot?

Is it the wrong thing to do? Is the world coming to an end?

Isn't it difficult enough to be born poor?

And now you're gay?

So what?

What’s the big deal?

I just found out on New Year’s eve.

I haven’t really talked about it with him yet.

Can I blame you for this?

Was it my fault that I left my child in your care?

Give me a break, Sis. How could you say that?

He wasn’t like this when he was with me.

What if he was that before living with me?

Who should I blame then?

No one. What’s the point of placing blame?

He does nothing wrong.

I didn’t say he did wrong.

My son is gay. Do you expect me to accept it with a smile?

Jam.

If you think that way, I don’t know what else I can say.

Gosh. I don’t know. My head is blank.

What are you here for by the way?

I’m here to tell you that I’m going to marry Tong.

And I want to take Li Ming back with me.

What do you think?

He’s your son. What can I say?

But you raise him.

Right now I’m living well and comfortably.

Tong has connections over there.

It’s not hard to enroll Li Ming in a college.

You should ask him yourself.

He doesn’t listen to me.

You do realize that.

That’s why I want you to help talk to him for me.

Jim.

Please help me.

This is the title deed to an apartment Tong rents out in the city.

I've talked this over with him for you.

You don’t need to sign an agreement or anything.

Jam, don’t do this.

Jim.

I know that I’m not a good mother.

But I’m trying.

Please help me out.

I…want to do something a mother should do.

What the hell? Why are baby diapers so expensive?

How did my mom get the money to pay for this for me?

Where’s Praew?

Not yet off her shift.

She’s pregnant. Why is she still working?

Having a child costs a lot of money.

Hear my word of warning.

I can speak from my first-hand experience.

Don’t do it.

Can you tell me, Leng?

Have you ever considered ab…?

Abortion?

Right?

Yes. It did cross my mind a few times.

Really? Then why?

Are you afraid?

What to be afraid of?

Having children without the ability to raise them is even more terrifying.

Praew’s grandparents want a grandchild.

So I’m okay to have this child.

They said they would support this child.

Your issue is also a big one.

Can you handle it?

No, thanks.

I’m struggling to make it through each day.

How can I raise my child?

I’m curious though.

How did my parents manage to raise me?

They didn’t have jobs. They didn’t even go to school.

I wish I could ask them.

But they both are dead.

What if they were still alive?

Would you want to stay with them?

Probably not.

Everyone has their own life to live.

And parents cannot be with us forever.

Right?

Uncle Jim!

What fight did you have with your nephew today?

Honestly, I can’t help blaming myself for it.

Li Ming might not have become gay if he hadn’t lived with me.

Wait a minute.

How come Saleng is straight?

He’s been with you for a long time as well.

Trust me. It has nothing to do with you.

Even if Li Ming stayed with his mother, he would still be gay no matter what.

And what era are we in now?

No one looks for a reason why people are gay anymore.

Look at me. None of my friends are gay, but I am.

Um.

I’m probably just shocked.

Listen.

Have you heard about this?

People can accept and not mind if someone is gay, lesbian, or whatever.

But when it comes to someone in their family, they can't accept it.

Come on, Uncle Jim.

You are gay, aren’t you?

Why can't you accept that your nephew is gay?

I can accept that.

I’m just worried about him.

You do know that it's not easy to be gay in this country.

I can’t see how he is able to lead a good life.

Same-sex marriages are still not allowed here.

That’s also true.

What can we do?

We might have to wait until those conservative dinosaurs die.

I may become an MP candidate.

If I’m chosen, I will write a new draft bill.

Please vote for me.

Actually, I could tell

about Li Ming and Heart.

I saw them hanging out.

They looked cute together.

Why didn’t you tell me?

It’s not my story to tell.

It’s theirs.

They have the right to tell or not tell people.

If they are ready, they will tell.

It’s their lives.

If he wants to tell someone about it, you'll hear from him before I do.

Trust me.

Because you are strict.

It’s true.

Try to listen to your nephew too.

Understood?

Uncle Jim.

I made you a new one. I’m sure it fits you this time.

Hey.

You can sleep in my room.

I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Though I don’t trust myself,

I trust you.

I’m sure you would not do anything to me.

[I'll sleep over at Leng's. Don’t worry.]

[OK.]

Uncle Jim.

You smile at your phone like this. Are you cheating on me?

Cheating?

I know that you have feelings for me too.

I'm just waiting for the day when you'll let me in.

It’s already good this way.

It’s good in a way.

Who knows about the future?

Are you giving up, young man?

I don’t know. I have never chased after someone this long either.

If I get tired, I might just vanish into thin air.

And then, no matter how much you want me, you can't have me.

Are you threatening me now?

Yes.

Are you Jimbo?

Um.

Uncle Jim.

What should we say if someone asks about our relationship?

How about brothers?

You’ve got to be kidding.

Brothers don't spend this much time together.

Seriously.

I’m done talking with you. I’d rather go to bed.

Hold on.

What?

Happy now?

Go to bed.

Good night.

Not yet.

Do it again.

Go to bed now.

Do it again.

Go to bed.

Go to bed.

Nighty night, Uncle Jim.

Hey Gaipa.

Hm?

I want my child to be born on Tuesday. So it is the same day as mine.

What will your child call me– ‘Lung’ or ‘Ar’? What year were you born?

Year of the Horse.

I’m Year of the Monkey.

I’m younger, so I’m an ‘Ar’.

Great. There will be just one ‘Lung’.

Lung Jim and Lung Gaipa would be too confusing.

Hey, I’m sorry.

I forgot. The wound is still fresh.

A good guy like you will find someone soon.

I don’t want to be a good guy.

I want to be a guy who has a lover.

Love has nothing to do with goodness.

I’m this damn good. He still doesn't want me.

How sad.

If Uncle Jim doesn't want you, let someone else do.

Look at those bulky veggie delivery guys.

Pick one.

You asshole.

Sorry.

You want a piece of me?

Look at your fat gold chain.

It will attract someone to you soon enough. Trust me.

I see. My fat gold chain?

I intended to give this to your baby. But I changed my mind.

Wait,

- Ar Gaipa.
- You’re bugging me.

- My kid is no one else.
= I better keep it to myself.

Please reconsider.

Give it to my baby.

Are you gonna snatch it? I’m telling my mom.

Come on. My kid will call you Ar.

I’ll think about it.

Ar Gaipa.

Get her an Inhaler!

What?

What’s going on?

- Mrs. Hong! Are you okay?
- Anyone has inhalers?

Mrs. Hong.

Excuse me.

Mom!

Sorry, folks.

I don’t know what happened to her.

Mrs. Hong!

Call an ambulance.

- Don’t crowd her. Move aside. Don’t crowd her.
- What happened to her?

- Mom!
- I don’t know.

- She just fell down all of a sudden.
- - Mom!

Someone, call an ambulance.

Mom.

Someone, please call an ambulance.

Mom.

Call an ambulance.

Mrs. Hong.

Don’t crowd her.

Mom!

Mrs. Hong. Do you hear us?

Hello. Please come to the market instantly.

Someone has collapsed. Please come here right away.

How is she?

How is she?

She’s gone.

Gaipa.

Gaipa.

[Hongdarun Kansamut]
[Born March 15 1973]
[Died February 12 2022]
[Aged 49 years.]

Gaipa.

Yes?

I’ll be taking care of things over there.

Thank you so much, auntie.

You may just sit here.

All right.

Leng.

What happened to Aunt Hong?

She had a sudden collapse.

Gaipa was unaware that his mother had severe hypertension.

You should keep him company for the time being.

Sure.

I think you should rather be with him.

Can I leave this to you?

Sure.

Thank you for coming.

It’s too sudden.

Please have a seat.

Should you eat something now?

You may not have time to eat later.

No. I’m not hungry yet.

Drink some water.

Sit and take a break.

Leave everything to me.

Thank you.

Here.

Gaipa. Someone is asking for you.

Ah. Okay.

Are you Gaipa, Mrs. Hong’s son?

Yes.

My name is Alan.

I’m from Krungthep Thai Bank.

I'm in charge of her account.

I see.

I’m sorry for your loss.

And…

Sorry for meeting you while I’m like this.

It’s totally fine.

I appreciate your visit.

This is from me.

After the funeral, I must request an appointment with you.

Your mother purchased a number of insurances.

I need to get some additional documents from you.

Sure.

After…I’m done with the funeral.

I'll visit you at the bank.

All right. Sorry for having to request your time.

No worries.

Sorry for your loss again.

Thank you for coming.

Please take a seat.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Li Ming.

Go get them drinks.

She is…a close friend…of mine.

We have known each other…since we were small.

It’s sad, isn’t it?

That’s…your friend.

Good evening.

Go ahead.

Here you are.

Hey, Jim.

Sit down.

Are you here by yourself?

With my friend.

I’m with Mr. Boo, the owner of your diner’s property.

About that, please hurry and make your decision.

That party wants to finish the contract deal now. I’m afraid it will be too late.

I’m trying to get a bank loan.

Or you can find a new location to rent. I may help you with that.

No, I don’t want that.

But a new place might cost more to rent.

You need to come to terms with that.

I don't think I want to move.

Come on, Jim.

Why are you so attached to that location?

With a new building in a new location, you might make more money.

Make a decision.

Please give me time to think.

After this funeral, I will call you.

All right. Please hurry though.

I can't believe Hong left so quickly.

No one is prepared for her sudden pass.

She loved her son so much that she left him a fortune.

Gaipa will be comfortable from now on.

He doesn’t even have to do anything much.

Just collecting the rent is enough.

[Bavorndech Pithakwiwattana]
[Born July 15 1984]
[Died December 30 2018]
[Aged 34 years.]

How are you?

Good evening.

There are just these two bank accounts, right?

We had many bank accounts, but only these two are still active.

A lawyer will meet with you later.

However, all accounts were under Beam’s name.

But Beam and I put money into the Kiatsiam Siam Bank account together.

There is my own money and also money from the diner.

But it’s under Beam’s name, right?

Why do you do this, sir?

Beam and I built everything together.

You can say things in any way you want.

You don't have any proof.

How could I continue the diner?

Beam is no longer here. You can do whatever you want to.

But, sir.

Beam and I were in a serious relationship.

You must understand.

How could a man-to-man relationship be serious?

Nothing has your name on it.

What about the car? Whose name is it?

Solely in my name.

Anyway,

someone will go get my son's belongings later.

Please help prepare them.

As for the cat, I don't want it.

It's inconvenient to pet a cat at my house.

Jim.

Jim.

Jim!

Tell me when you've decided so I can figure out what to do next.

If you wait too long to decide, I don't know what to do to help.

Which one? Valentine's one?

I see. Okay.

Switch colors?

Which color?

Thank you.

Please accept my thanks on Gaipa's behalf.

Do you want me to call a ride for you?

Don’t worry about it. I have requested a ride.

Let me keep you company then.

Are you two now together?

We still aren't.

If it hadn’t been for you, we would not have broken up like this.

But I wasn’t there back then.

I have only known Wen for less than 6 months.

Nonetheless, I must apologize to you.

You may leave. My ride is here.

Did you book the ride?

Yes.

Please get in.

Thanks.

Here.

I kept this for you. You haven’t eaten yet.

What about you?

I have eaten.

Let me send this mail out.

Usually, people work from home.

But you are working from temple.

You know how to make a pun now?

I met Alan earlier.

He said that if I hadn't gotten in the way,

things between you and him wouldn't have ended that way.

Uncle Jim.

Even though I hadn’t met you,

I would still break up with him.

I felt bad too.

Who wants to love and then break up?

Do you still love him?

I'm not sure I can call it love.

But there is still some caring.

If we stay in a relationship that makes us unhappy,

isn't it better to end it while there’s still some goodwill left?

Finish it.

Eat more.

No, I’m done. It’s all for you.

[12-14 February, close for 3 days]

Here you are.

Li Ming.

Have you talked to your mom about going back to Sakhon Nakhon?

I don’t want to talk about it.

Go talk it out with her.

Don’t you want to live with your mother?

Why?

You don’t want to go back there?

I hadn't seen her in about 5 or 6 years.

Out of the blue, she showed up and told me she loved me.

Do you expect me to love her back just like that?

I'm confused, too.

Can’t you love her simply because she is your mother?

I know I owe her gratitude.

But being a mother or father should not be used as an excuse for everything.

But I think your mother loves you too.

Love can't be forced, right?

Just because she gave birth to me.

Must I love her back?

If you ask me if I love you or not, I can answer that more easily.

I can easily say that I love you.

I’ll be back.

Here.

Drink with me.

Get a taste of being an adult.

That’s tacky.

Does drinking beer make a person an adult?

Go ahead.

Don't tell me you're afraid I'll copy your behavior?

Um…

About the cigarette that day,

I’m sorry.

I was not mad at you for that.

I was mad at myself for being your guardian and doing that myself.

I just wanted to try.

If I didn't try it out, how would I know if I like it or not?

Right?

What about Heart?

Have you tried him out already, so you know you…like him?

Keep your nose out of my business.

I have never asked about your relationship with Wen, haven’t I?

It's not a matter for kids.

My matter is not for adults either.

So you want to be an adult or a kid?

Well, just stay out of my business.

Cheers.

Mom.

Hm?

You truly love Uncle Tong, right?

I do. Or I wouldn't agree to marry him.

Do you want to marry him because he makes your life better?

That’s also true.

For someone who takes care of me and loves me,

it's not hard to love him back.

And it can make your life better too.

What about Dad?

I loved him of course.

But it was a different kind of love.

There is no single pattern to love.

I don’t get it.

You're angry that I'm going to remarry, aren’t you?

So you don’t want to live with me.

I’m not angry. If you want to marry him, do it.

I just feel that I don’t belong there.

Sis, let him be. He has grown up.

When we were his age, we ran away from home, didn’t we?

Um.

Really?

If we had lived there, we would have both been farmers like our grandparents.

Yes.

It’s his life. Let him choose.

He’s 18 years old.

He knows how to jerk off.

Uncle Jim!

I knew how to do that a long time ago.

Eat up.

Seriously, Jam.

I chop chicken and ginger every day.

Why did you make this ginger dish for me to eat?

Just eat it. Gingers are cheap.

Didn't you say that you're rich now?

What is this?

Go to Sakhon Nakhon. I'll fill up your stomach every day.

Fine. I’ll eat it.

All meals will be on me.

Stir-fried Ginger is actually yummy.

Three years ago,

my dad passed away.

Mom was by my side and comforted me.

She said,

“Even though he is no longer here with us,

the love we have for him will last forever.”

And today,

I lost my mom too.

If Mom was still with me here and comforted me,

she would say,

“Even though I’m no longer here with you,

the love you have for me will last forever.”

Mom had a song she liked.

When she was alive,

she asked me to sing for her.

Up until now, I have one regret.

I haven't been able to sing it to her yet.

So I would like to take this occasion

to sing this song,

which is her favorite,

for the first time and the last for her.

Mommy.

I'm going to sing you this song right now.

[It's okay, Sis. I'm going to try it my way.]

[Cancellation Of Lease]

Don’t you want to sell Chicken Rice anymore?

I'm not sure if I do it because I love it or because I'm not good at anything else.

America?

Um.

From now on, your life might not be easy.

Do you remember you once asked me if this place feels like home to me?
