Original subtitles

"Soon, we'll be studying together."

I'll be waiting.

Love in school, the all-time problem.

Do the adults forbid it, because of goodwill…

or do they just fear to accept the truth?

GIRLS' UNIFORM OF THIPNAREEWITTAYA SCHOOL

THE CORRECT WAY OF PAYING RESPECT OF THIPNAREEWITTAYA SCHOOL

A GRACEFUL, TRADITIONAL LADY IS A NATIONAL TREASURE

THIPNAREEWITTAYA SCHOOL

Headmaster, you can't take down our school and merge it with the boys's.

There's no other choice, Ms. Naruemol. Our school is running short of money.

Our school is always well-known for producing graceful, traditional ladies,

and all of the sudden, you're going to let those naughty boys, who are like flies,

defile our school.

It can be pure, but I've got no money to pay for your salary.

Can you take that?

These boys are like termites.

If they get to bite our home,

they will never stop.

And what about all the virtues that we've gathered all these times?

All of it will perish.

Perish?

So what do you want them to be, flies or termites?

Here.

These are the notes the boys sent to our girls.

I can't stand it any longer.

Oh, my.

These kids are much more outdated than I thought.

You know, back in my days,

it was a lot more than this.

No. It's an absolute no.

I know that you love this school very much…

but Ms. Naruemol, you're forgetting that I don't need to ask for your permission.

The reason I have you here is

I want you, the head of the Administrative Department,

to come up with the policies

to help the students know

how to handle the upcoming changes.

Let it be a little defiled

in order to get more money and for the school to go on.

Is that clear?

I'm going to be frank here. I feel very hopeless with this decision.

The headmaster seems like he's opening the gate for the enemies to conquer us.

But I think it won't cause much trouble, will it?

Anyhow, our girls will see the boys, eventually.

But it's not supposed to be today.

At this age, it's the time for blooming.

Like blossoms, which are blooming beautifully.

We must nurture them and take the best care of them.

Because it's the time that they're fragile.

It's a risk to get distracted easily.

And the boys too. It's the time that they're intimidating.

No maturity, no responsibility.

It's really risky.

They might bring our girls down to their level.

I agree with you, Ms. Naruemol.

We must live by our school's honor.

If we all don't see it as a mutual problem,

we won't be able to get past it.

Well said, Ms. Linda.

I've been in this school for so long.

I know what a good school's standard is.

I'd like to volunteer myself as a center for everyone to get past this crisis.

We all will not lose.

I'll come up with the policy and do everything

for our school to overcome this crisis.

Ms. Linda, you must be one of the leaders too.

It will be an honor.

But we must start immediately. Because right now,

the students have already started gossiping about the merger.

That's terrible.

It's not even officially announced yet.

This is getting too far.

Who was it? Who leaked the news?

Hey, is it true that our school

and the school next door will merge as one, Nanno?

That's true.

Studying together with the boys?

How? I won't know how to act.

And what about if we're in PE class? How will it be?

And what if we need to go work on an assignment at home?

Just thinking about it stresses me out.

No need to be stressed out. The boys are nothing.

Really?

Yes. I used to study co-ed before.

The boys aren't intimidating like you've imagined.

How so?

Well, there was one time,

the boys were sliding down a stair railing,

and I was the lookout.

And when the teacher came, everyone scattered.

it was funny.

That's funny.

RULES OF THIPNAREEWITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NO. 012

IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR THE GIRLS TO LAUGH ALONG WITH THE BOYS' JOKES.

IT IS NOT GRACEFUL.

Do the girls here wear white shirts with jailer collars?

-They are sailor collars. -They are sailor collars.

Here they come.

Shit.

Hello. My name is Nanno. It's nice meeting you.

I'm Punjan. And these are Pob, Man, and Yong.

And these are Mind, Ploy and Kao.

Nice to meet you.

You spoke so quietly. How could they hear you?

Step a little closer.

Boys don't bite.

Actually, I'd like to give you the school tour,

but I am also a new student here.

I should let the students who've been here longer be your guide.

But I don't think it's suitable, Nanno.

I do remember traditional ladies

must have friendly hearts.

Right, Namnueng?

Well, yes.

Come on, I'll show you the rooms.

This is the music room.

If there's a music room, is there also a lyrics room?

You know how the music and lyrics always come together.

I've told you the boys are funny.

Nanno.

I'll take you to another room.

This is the art room.

-Art room? -Yes.

The one that's used for sewing?

No. That's the sewing room.

And how about this one?

This one? Only girls are allowed.

Boys aren't.

They were all in a huddle.

So what are we going to do next?

I have my own way to deal with this.

Today is the first day that the boys will be studying with us.

In order to have a proper class,

I'd like to announce the rules for everyone to comply with.

This rule is called "Social Distancing."

Keep a social distance for the boys and the girls.

Starting from the morning assembly,

the boys and the girls won't be joining the same line.

The girls will line up on my right-hand side,

and the boys will line up on my left-hand side,

starting now.

From now on, we'll separate the rooms,

not only for the girls' school's honor,

but also, for the boys to grow up as gentlemen.

Come on, faster.

Faster.

That's good. Keep running. It's good exercise so you'll sweat,

and you won't think about dirty stuff.

Thank you.

Iced chocolate and chocolate frappé are forbidden

because they will arouse the students' sexual desires.

RULES OF THIPNAREEWITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NO. 034

IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR THE BOYS TO SAY "MILK."

INSTEAD, USE THE WORDS "UHT DRINKS" OR "PASTEURIZED DRINKS."

-I know. -I'm exhausted.

Do you think it's too much?

Yes, a little too much.

I feel sorry for them.

Look at them, their hands are shaking so much that they almost can't eat.

Jeez.

I'm so tired.

What did he say?

Pob said he's very tired.

Wait, Nanno, you got his Line ID?

Well, we're friends, that's why we have each other's Line IDs.

Do you want me to add you all to the Line group?

So you can talk to other people.

-Of course. -Sounds good.

I already added you guys. Accept the request.

Okay.

12:56 MIND JOINED THE GROUP 12:57 PLOY JOINED THE GROUP

MIND: YOU ONLY EAT VEGETABLES? I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU.

YONG: IT'S NUTRITIOUS!

NANNO: YOU WANT MORE NUTRITION?

POB: CAN I? THEN CAN I ASK FOR MILK?

NANNO: YES.

POB: THANK YOU.

You can't be on the phone while having lunch.

What's there to talk about?

What's this?

"Like you"?

POB: LIKE YOU

"Like you"?

I think you should read it again carefully.

POB: LIKE YOU

POB: THANK YOU

Oh, dear.

POB: CAN I? THEN CAN I ASK FOR MILK?

"Ask for 'milk'?"

See? Are you going to argue with me?

He's asking for the school's milk.

What did you think he meant?

Can I ask for "milk"?

Yes.

-Wow. -Wow.

Like you.

This must be taken care of.

RULES OF THIPNAREEWITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NO. 041

IT IS FORBIDDEN FOR THE BOYS AND THE GIRLS TO CHAT WITH EACH OTHER.

IF ANYONE GETS CAUGHT, THEIR ACCOUNT WILL BE BLOCKED AT ONCE.

What's wrong with the internet?

When you get the pic developed, I'll have one, please.

Me too.

Gosh.

It's very chilly.

So have you thought it through

about what faculty you'll go to after graduation?

I want to get into the Faculty of Education.

I'll come back to be a teacher in this school.

Here?

Yes.

Wow.

So the school must give the crown to you, Naruemol,

as "The Best Student."

Thank you.

-You must wipe your tears. -Oh, right, brimming with tears.

Yeah. But I think you'll make a good teacher.

THE EDUCATION OFFICE HAS AWARDED THIS HONOR TO MISS NARUEMOL TRISIRIWIMOL

AS THE BEST TEACHER OF 2019

NAREUMOL: THANK YOU, MS. LINDA. YOU MUST BE TIRED.

LINDA: FOR MS. NAREUMOL, I CAN ALWAYS DO IT.

I'LL PICK YOU UP AT YOUR PLACE LIKE USUAL.

RULES OF THIPNAREEWITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NO. 076

IT IS FORBIDDEN TO SHOW ANY FEELINGS TOWARD THE OPPOSITE SEX,

NEITHER FACE TO FACE, ON THE PHONE, NOR IN THOUGHT.

Hey, Nanno, you can still talk to them?

Of course.

But I see that you're blocked too.

I got a new application.

New app?

Yes. It's called "True Love."

This application lets us talk to other people in the school

without revealing anything personal.

So, teachers won't know if we talk to the boys or the girls.

Using this app, we might get true friends or even a boyfriend.

I see…

so we only download it and we can use it right away, right?

Yes, just download it and you may start.

This is interesting. Let's download the app.

CHOCOLATE FUDGE: ARE YOU THIS CUTE IN PERSON?

LEMON ALIEN: SO WHO ARE YOU REALLY? GIVE ME A HINT!

This is pretty exciting, don't you think?

Well…I want to know who the other person is.

Right.

SWEET APPLE: WERE YOU THE ONE WHO STARED AT ME EARLIER?

This is absurd.

Are you the one who created this shameful application?

Shameful?

What do you mean?

This application is like blind dates,

which is a place to mingle.

No information. No identity.

A place to mingle? We're just chatting.

I think this app makes us see the true identities of everyone.

And it's useful, probably leading us to meet true friends.

Or…

it could lead us to find true love.

And what about you teachers?

Did you have your first love back in your school days?

Hey! Do not interfere.

Now, it's time for you to study,

not the time to find love.

Love will get you in big trouble.

Some might lose their virginity.

Some…

might get pregnant during school.

Well, that's true.

If it gets out of control, it must be really shameful.

If you understand, you'll have to completely delete this application.

Delete it?

But I think this app might come in handy for the teachers.

So you'll be able to keep an eye on the ones that might get out of control.

What do you mean?

A hundred battles, a hundred victories.

Know your enemy.

I think you might want to have students use this app as much as possible

because this app doesn't show any identity.

And you may have forgotten

that you have access to their accounts and passwords.

You can observe what the students are talking about.

Then you can go stop them before anything gets out of control,

all without getting hated by the students.

But it's up to you.

You may not want in.

You may be afraid that once you're in,

you may be the ones who get out of control.

But just by chatting, typing letters,

it won't get anyone pregnant.

Well, that's true.

Then take care of it for me.

EMPTY VASE

EMPTY VASE: SOMETIMES, I GET SO TIRED WITH WHAT I'VE PUT EFFORT IN

AND NO ONE SEES THE IMPORTANCE.

DAFFODIL: I'M WITH YOU. SOMETIMES, YOU WANT THEM TO SEE THE IMPORTANCE.

EMPTY VASE: IT'S LIKE FIGHTING ALONE AND THERE'S NO ONE BY MY SIDE.

DAFFODIL: JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AT LEAST YOU GOT ME.

Ruethai,

I've been looking all over for you.

Are you all right, Ruethai?

You can tell me everything.

You're my best friend.

I can do anything for you, Ruethai.

If you could be Suer for me, that'd be nice, right?

Of course, Ruethai,

-I can be anythi-- -Ruethai.

I'm sorry.

I was wrong.

Please give me another chance.

RULES OF THIPNAREEWITTAYA SCHOOL RULE NO. 094

BOYS AND GIRLS BEING TOGETHER IN PRIVATE

IS CONSIDERED THE MOST SERIOUS OFFENSE.

These are the students who are on the "Shameful List."

Dear students, we have found that

there are some students who are breaking tradition

and not complying with the school's rules.

So, it's necessary for me to exercise stricter measures.

I'm doing this out of good intention.

From now on,

the girls will study at this building only.

And the boys will study at the building over there.

We're just here to study.

There are some students that I'll have to take away their phones.

Teachers, please.

Hey, you two, keep your distance!

Or I'll have to make separate paths for the boys and the girls.

Hello, teacher.

Hello.

Teacher.

I'm afraid that you'll be tired so I bought you this drink.

Why are you following me?

How is it? Is it working, my plan to peek?

When reading the messages that people send to each other,

sometimes I feel dazzled.

I don't know if you feel the same.

There's nothing interesting, only nonsense.

Well, that's true.

But it's a pity.

People are starting to realize that you're on this app too.

I don't really care about the app that much.

Anyhow, I'll find a way

to separate the boys and the girls.

I believe so.

Teacher.

I think there's a strange noise coming from this room.

Hey,

what are you guys doing?

What are you doing?

I told you to stay away from each other, didn't I?

What are you doing?

Punjan, let's go.

I have bad news to announce.

Ruethai has passed away.

She went to get an abortion, but she lost too much blood.

And the doctor couldn't save her life.

I'm so sorry, Naruemol.

Do you have any explanation, Ms. Naruemol?

I was trying to protect the students from immoral things.

They just didn't know yet what they'd have to face.

They did face… this.

Punjan and Namnueng were tutoring,

and an eraser fell on the floor,

so Namnueng bent over to get it.

Headmaster, do you believe those kids?

I didn't see it so I don't know.

But one thing that I know is

Punjan's head is cut and needs patching.

And their parents might sue the school.

Ms. Naruemol,

for the sake of our school, I have to fire you.

What?

The incident that happened, I'll help clear it up.

But Ms. Naruemol, you must leave immediately.

If I leave, what about the school?

The school will turn co-ed

like it's supposed to be.

DAFFODIL: DON'T FORGET, A VASE MAKES A FLOWER MORE BEAUTIFUL.

EMPTY VASE: YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR SOMEONE?

EMPTY VASE: IT'S LIKE FIGHTING ALONE AND THERE'S NO ONE BY MY SIDE.

DAFFODIL: JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT AT LEAST YOU GOT ME.

Dear students,

Today, I have Ms. Naruemol here to say goodbye to you all before leaving.

So I'd like you all to pay attention.

Especially since Ms. Naruemol has been with us for a very long time,

so she must have a very good point of view to share with us.

Please.

Thank you.

Dear students,

today, as our school has so many changes,

I'd like the girls to maintain being graceful, traditional ladies,

and the boys to stay away from the girls.

And when the day that the door opens, you'll find happiness and safety.

Students.

When that day comes,

you'll find happiness in the form of family.

I'd like you to maintain being graceful, traditional ladies.

Empty Vase.

Daffodil.

I understand everything now.

Understand what?

I don't only admire you.

But truthfully, I might be in love with you.

Love?

I'm telling the truth.

Shameful!

We're ladies.

But love is the feeling of warmth,

happiness, and intimacy.

Do you know I feel warm every time I'm near you?

And how about you? Do you feel the same?

You're my best friend.

I can do anything for you.

Naruemol, please open your heart to love.

Love is never wrong. Only the person who does it is wrong.

Love, whatever it looks like, is still love, isn't it?

I know that you're tired of everything that you've done but no one sees it.

But I do see it.

It's like fighting alone and there's no one by my side.

Just want you to know that at least you got me.
