I'm leaving home now.
Do you want anything from Phuket?
One box of Taosor Cake?
Okay.
Talk to you later.
Not stinky anymore?
It’s kinda yummy.
So, where are you going this time?
Japan, 10 days.
Keep the house clean.
Because when I get back, I’ll bring a Japanese friend, who’s a tour guide along.
I'm off.
Good Luck.
Bro.
Thank you for the plane ticket.
Sure.
Go to sleep.
Bas: Go to bed if you’re sleepy. And wake up to continue at 4 a.m., sounds good?
Oh-aew: :'( I’ll try then? Off to bed now.
Oh-aew: Sweet dreams.
Bas: Good night.
“Will get up at 4 a.m. to study Guess if I’ll make it :p
Teh is calling..
You’re up?
Oh, yeah. Is there anything?
Oh, I saw your Instagram story, so I called to wake you up.
Oh, okay, I’ll go study now.
Okay.
And
are you gonna hang up now?
Do you want me to stay?
Do you want to stay?
Why are you asking me? I’m asking you.
Well, it’s up to you.
You can go back to sleep.
Actually, I’m wide awake-
I can keep you company.
You can leave the speaker on.
So I can wake you up in case you fall asleep.
And in case you have something to ask.
Hey! Still there?
Yeah, hang on. I’m walking to the desk.
Hurry up.
here.
‘Shuo Hua Suan Shu’
What does this idiom mean?
It means ‘Keeping promise’.
Write ‘Shuo Hua Suan Shu’ 5 times.
Got it.
Write it down.
Take a pic and send it to me.
Tomorrow’s Saturday but I can’t go see you.
I’m practicing the exercises for the exam with my friends.
We’re going to stay at Oh-aew’s resort.
So we’ll have a big space like the real exam room.
Oh?
Kai’s printed the mock-up exam sheets. They’re so like the real ones.
Teh. You’ve already got in.
Why bother going there?
Huh?
I’ll be the invigilator.
It's actually my plan-
to make you miss me.
Alright.
Okay.
Under one condition:
come see me after you’re back from the resort.
Okay?
Sure. Of course.
Teti, what are you looking,at?
Who’s that hiding back there?
Who is it?
I'm so sleepy.
You stayed up late playing games, huh?
No! I woke up at 4 a.m. to tutor Oh.
Right.
And why didn’t you get up when I woke up to study at 4 a.m.?
Well, you’re going for Architecture.
I tutor Mandarin Chinese.
Ah, C’mon now. Don’t get mad.
I'll go straight to you once I get back from the resort.
Alright.
You go study.
My tutor’s here. I’ll be off soon.
Okay.
Study hard, alright.
And go home and go to bed early.
Let me know when you’re home.
Bye-bye.
Study hard. Let me know when you’re home. Bye-bye.
Funny much?
Freakin’ funny?
Why does she have to tell you once she gets home?
What’s that for?
Well,
I'm worried. It’s good to know if she’s home yet.
Is she safe?
And tomorrow, I'm not tutoring you.
Try doing past exams so you’ll know how well you can do.
Do it like others so you’ll also know if you can finish in time,
how focused you are, and how stressed you are under lots of people.
That’s fine. You going along is like tutoring me.
What!?
What’s your problem?
What!? You said you’d made us flash cards.
Did you lie?
What?
If you want to be better at it, you gotta make them yourselves.
How many are you?
1-2-3-4-51
1,200 words each!
That's 6,000 words!
Whoa, if I made them all, I wouldn’t have to make a living!
Then why did you say so?
Well, you guys would be enthusiastic!
C’mon, C’mon.
Take your seats.
'Secret'
So stuffed, so so stuffed.
Guys, I’m off.
I have to call my Karakade.
See ya
Don’t forget to pack your bag, asshole!
Later.
Hey.
Should I buy new swimming pants?
Whatever.
Gotta go. Later.
See you at the pier tomorrow at 10.
Right.
See
Bye-bye.
Do you wanna continue reciting?
Yeah, of course.
Oh, so today, we’re not going home together?
Oh, right. I’m up to whatever.
Up to you.
I'll go home then.
Sure.
See you then.
See ya, Bas.
See ya, Oh.
Later, Teh.
Drive safely.
Bye-bye.
Teh: Let me know when you’re home.
I'll kick you off the pier.
C'mon, hurry up.
You didn’t have to come here.
We can meet you at the resort, the weather’s hot here.
No, you’re VIPs.
I have to welcome you by myself.
Here you go.
Line up and get the garlands.
And get on the boat.
His customers are waiting.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
After you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Oh-aew.
Thank you.
So much for being a gentleman.
Being at the end of the line.
No.
I wanna sit with you.
Let’s go.
Get on the boat.
Guys, wait a moment.
The housekeeper is cleaning up.
Okay, okay.
Hello, Tarn.
Yep, arrived at the resort.
Did you eat?
Oh.
I'll call you tonight.
Miss you too.
Okay.
Talk later.
Bye-bye.
Welcome, everyone.
Here you are.
WOW!
Fantastic.
Oh my god!
Welcome.
Do you like it?
Very much.
Good. I chose the best room available for you all.
Cool!
So you guys, you know, can study well, right?
Let me know if you need anything.
Thank you.
Make yourself at home.
Whoa!
There are 3 bedrooms.
This, that and this.
So two people per room.
Choose your pair.
I'll be with Kai.
Kai and I snore pretty badly.
I'll be with Bas then.
Yeah, sure.
Teh, so you’re with me, alright?
Yeah, that's right, Phillip.
So shall we put things away?
C'mon, let’s go.
Let's go! Let’s go!
Well,
Sharing a room with Bas gets you pretty excited, huh?
How about you?
You're okay with sharing it with Phillip?
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, is there something wrong?
No.
Nothing.
Shall we go study?
Let's go.
Let’s.
C'mon, Oh-aew.
Yeah.
Time’s almost up.
That's correct.
That’s also correct.
That’s incorrect.
No.
Yours is incorrect!
This one is correct!
Incorrect.
Yours is incorrect, not mine!
Oh-aew, your score is 59.
Wow. you’re getting better at this!
And lastly, Phillip,
your score is 47.
Are you awake?
Yeah, to study.
Is it too bright? I’ll turn the light off.
No, no. It’s just that I’m not used to this bed.
It’s not like mine at home.
Oh.
Oh-aew.
Next Chinese New Year, let’s go somewhere, will you?
Let’s go just the two of us after finishing admission exam.
Find something nice to eat?
Yes, let’s.
I’ll invite Mod and the others too.
The more the merrier.
Okay.
So, I’ll go study outside.
You go back to sleep.
You got up so early.
Oh, yeah.
You came to study?
Do you want me to tutor you?
Hey, Oh!
You also got up at 4 to study?
Yeah.
How about you?
What the hell are you doing at 4?
I’m not sleepy yet.
I wanna get up to have some coffee.
You got a problem with that, asshole?
Whoa, I was just asking.
Relax.
What the hell?
You guys woke up so freakin’ early.
You get up to study at 4 too?
Why the hell did you wake up this early?
I﻿’m gonna stroll at the beach.
So, I’m going now.
Even if it’s not the subject you’re good at,
you can do it, if you really put your mind to it.
Even it’s a little bit better,
but that means your hard work pays off.
And the important thing is-
you’ll have the goal that-
the next time you’ll do better and better.
It will get better.
Next time, my score will definitely be more than Bas's.
Beat the whole country.
I will.
Can I have a reward?
What?
Well, I want some encouragement.
Here you go.
There.
Alright, alright.
A big prize:
tomorrow, no tutoring!
Huh? Will I be able to study in time?
Of course.
Studying everyday isn't good.
Your brain needs to rest.
YES!
'Yes'
Don’t!
Whoa!
Stop it!
Don't!
So how’s it?
Same room with Bas...
Any sweet moments?
I don’t really know if he likes me.
But earlier, he asked me to go hang out.
Finding a chance to share the room.
Then asking to go somewhere together.
So well-planned.
I don't know.
But-
I don't really feel that pounding heart like I used to.
When he asked me to go hang out,
I didn’t really want to go anymore.
Hey!
Why not?
You’re bored of him?
Or...
does he like somebody else?
Or...
you like someone else?
Huh?
Really?
Who?
Who!?
I wanna know!
I think you know.
You really don’t?
But I think you do.
Or you really don’t?
But I think you do.
Since when did you feel...
I don't know.
And you?
Since when?
I don't know.
I just know that I want to be close to you.
And I don’t want you to be close to anyone else.
That’s all.
Okay.
Whatever suits you.
But I think you’re jealous.
Teh: I feel exhausted. Can we postpone?
Tarn: What!?
“Let’s not go home yet!”
Teh: What are you doing?
What are you doing here?
Why aren’t you home?
Well...
I might meet someone here, I guess.
Why do you,have to think about it that much?
Just let it go.
Do whatever you feel like.
There's no need for an answer
if there’s no answer.
"Secret"
Do you wanna go tutoring?
I thought you said one day. off.
Well, if you wanna study, I can help you with that.
Alright, alright.
No tutoring.
Do you wanna go somewhere?
Wherever.
As long as you're with me.
What?
Still under construction?
“To the shrine. DO NOT ENTER.”
What did you ask for?
I asked if I could get in the Faculty of Communication Arts at Anantasart,
I would fulfill my vow with running from your home to the tip of Promthep Cape.
Hey.
Why from my home?
In case I don’t have enough energy,
I’ll have Hokkian mee at your place first.
Haha, you’re nuts.
Your legs will burn.
And I also said I’d run before sunset.
So I’d be able to shout to the sun that I finally made it.
Oh-aew!
Isn’t that too difficult?
What if you get unlucky, running and not seeing the sunset,
you’ll have to keep running until you see one, huh?
It’s up to the destiny.
But I think luck is always on my side.
Do you wanna try running today?
So you’ll know if you’re really a lucky person.
Will you run with me?
Yeah.
I wanna see a lucky person.
Let's go!
What?
For real?
Yeah.
C'mon.
Alright.
Wait.
Step with your left foot first.
Why’s that?
I don’t know.
Ma said on an important day,
always step with the left foot first.
I told you
Don’t get yourself in trouble.
C'mon.
I can’t do it anymore.
Can we call it a day?
Hey, don’t give up just yet.
So, you'll know what to prepare for the real day.
Alright.
I'll let you stop for a bit.
You can stop but you can’t quit.
Let's go!
Let's go.
Yeah, let’s.
C'mon now.
Damn!
So unlucky.
The clouds are blocking the sun.
You said you were lucky.
Well, wait and see on the real day.
No chance to rehearse shouting to the sun.
There.
If you really get in the faculty,
you’ll have to run and shout at the tip of the cape,
As you vowed.
Shit, the way down there is so rough.
I almost fainted from running earlier.
I’ll run with you on that day.
Really?
Then you put on the uni uniform.
Put it on together.
You promise.
“Shuo Hua Suan Shu”
Do as promised.
Let's take a pic and post on Instagram.
When you see-this pic on my Instagram,
it will be a reminder, so you won’t forget.
Hey, then let’s make the face as if-
we’re walking to the uni for the first time.
What kind of face?
Like, you’re so fucking happy.
So so fucking happy.
Alright.
C’mon now.
Let's.
1-2-3.
WOOHOO!
How’s it?
I already tagged you.
‘Oh-aew: “Shuo Hua Suan Shu” @teh_tunn’
‘Teh_tunn: As promised.’
In order to keep my promise,
you have to pass the exam and get in first.
I'll make it.
We're gonna go study together.
When I was a kid,
I never did anything right.
Ma always bragged about Hoon.
And Hoon was really good at everything.
Good at studying, at sports, so many certificates at home.
So Ma always overtly bragged about him
But actually, I don’t think Ma knew that she only praised Hoon.
She might wanna give me a compliment too.
But there’s nothing about me to be praised for.
Why wasn’t there anything to be praised for?
You’re so good at studying.
Whatever I’m good at, Hoon always surpasses that.
When I got a 3.9 GPA, Hoon got 4.00 GPA every semester.
Until one day, ‘The Legend of the Moon Sword’ was on TV,
And Ma said to customers in the restaurant,
"Tae looks so much like Yongjian,
he can become an male lead."
You know, I couldn’t sleep that night.
I got a Hoon’s phone and started watching The Legend of the Moon Sword all night.
Until the next morning.
And I thought to myself, "Am I really that cool like Ma said?"
And you know what, when I told Ma that I
wanted to become a protagonist like Yongjian,
Ma told everyone in the restaurant that when I grew up,
I would become a protagonist, a celebrity, and appear on TV.
So I guess, that’s it.
That’s the beginning of all this.
After that, I read all the info about how to become an actor-
which faculty I should be studying in, and what to do.
I envy you.
The thing is you knew what you loved,
and you could narrate it scene by scene
And very clearly.
Do you remember?
I used to tell you that I wanted to beat you.
Thank you so much for making me feel that way.
Before that, I never wanted to do anything.
But when I wanted to beat you,
it pushed me.
You’re like a rival and also an inspiration to me.
Keep competing with me.
Don’t get tired first.
Talking like this reminds me of the old times.
Well, listening to you earlier reminded me of this verse.
What does it mean?
The first part is about the stories in the past,
vanishing very quickly like smoke.
And what about the next part?
You're the one whom I’ve been looking for in a long time.
Translate it more.
You sing and I’ll translate.
That means,
promises are blown away like grains of sand.
If heaven destined us to meet,
why would it divide us apart.
10,000-li-long river
couldn't stand in my way.
10,000-li-wide land
is just a distance of a blink of an eye.
Even separated by time,
my heart's still looking for you.
But if divided by fate,
if I don’t give up,
what should I do?
Wanna go watch Yongjian at my place?
Try reading the subtitles.
It helps practicing.
We had a long walk today. So sore.
Wow, you guys stay up late tonight.
Oh, we’re translating Yongjian, Ma.
Alright.
So, Yongjian is a male protagonist.
Male protagonist is 'Nan Zhu Jue'.
Nan Zhu Jue.
'Nan ZhuXJue'. 'Nan Zhu Jue'.
Right, right.
Nan Zhu Jue.
You know what, Oh-aew. You should spend a night here.
Hoon is not home.
Take him to the room upstairs.
I’m going home in the morning, Mom.
Don’t worry.
Good night.
You wanna go upstairs?
‘Male Protagonist’
Are you gonna go to bed?
I'm not sleepy yet.
Then what should we do?
Tutoring?
‘Male Protagonist’
Nan Zhu Jue', male protagonist.
Why did you write this word so many?
What were you thinking?
‘Male Protagonist’
What about female protagonist? 'Nu Zhu Jue’?
’Nu Zhu Jue’ means female protagonist.
Is this the right writing?
‘Female Protagonist’
What if there are 2 'Nan Zhu Jue’,
will that be alright?
I'm gonna go sleep downstairs.
