Post by bunniefuu »

I'm sorry.

Someone like you should go die.

A child who causes their mother's death

is called a traitor, isn't it?

Kaeo!

You have to promise me

that you won't leave me alone.

I promise.

This month, we will each get

our share as usual.

However, it will be reduced.

PHLENGPHON DONSAWAN

I'm looking for someone

who can help me become a singer.

Someone from a record company is coming.

Dress up and take great care of him, okay?

Have you ever given me your heart?

I don't think of you in that way.

PREVIOUSLY

Do you see that man?

He's so naughty.

No one dares to mess with him.

That singer from Suphan singer

remember her?

Kaeota!

How was it?

Just having dinner while looking pretty

can earn you some extra money.

Why did he pay us

such a large sum of money?

He already took us out

to a luxurious dinner.

Don't dwell on it too much.

Someone like him is good at making money.

A lonely man of wealth.

Still

He was so polite.

At first, I thought

I was going to be molested.

For real?

A singer using their own body

to earn money?

There's no such thing.

Mr. Peter is a gentleman.

He doesn't grope anyone.

The one doing the groping here will be me.

What is that?

Oops.

It's nothing.

Just something a nurse gave me.

Don't worry about it.

All right.

I'm heading to bed now. I'm so sleepy.

If Peter asks for you again,

you should go.

A kind, rich man like that

is a wonderful thing for you. Trust me.

Hey, you!

Is there no one who catches your eye?

There is someone.

Two people.

One of them is in Suphan.

Suphan again?

I told you.

Ever since the whole stage burned down,

their reputation has taken a hit.

No one attends their performances anymore.

Oh, and the other one?

She's busy being affectionate

with a drug dealer.

Is she being manipulated?

After all, she ran away from home alone.

I heard that from the grapevine.

Even though I called the band,

they said Kaeota

left after the death of the bandleader.

Wait a second.

You called the band.

You have their number?

What? They accept gigs. They're a band.

Why didn't you tell me?

Then why didn't you ask?

Hello.

This is Phanni Sidon's house.

How can we help you today?

Good morning.

I'm

I'm Mahannop, Nop for short.

I'm the owner of M Sound.

I'd like to speak with Miss Khwanchai.

This is Khwan speaking.

Oh, Miss Khwanchai, um.

All right, I'll be frank.

I listened to you singing in Suphan.

Your voice is amazing, so I'd like

to ask you to become

an artist for M Sound.

You mean

you're asking me

to make a music album with you?

Yes, I'm asking you

to make a music album with me.

A music album!

PHANNI SIDON, AGE 46

What? They called to ask you?

Yeah, he said it's

a country music record company,

and they're looking

for a promising singer.

A record company is a must these days.

Actually, I've been thinking.

-I think

-Hey, is this for real?

Do we really have to eat

rice with fish sauce?

Take a peek into the kitchen.

There's nothing else in there.

At least we still have

one last bottle of fish sauce.

You can eat plain rice if you want though.

All right, I'll bear it.

I'm not a selfish person

who will save only my own skin.

That's admirable.

You're truly commendable

to always think of others.

A person like that

can be called the darling of the masses.

Your darling too?

Have you ever given me your heart?

I don't think of you in that way.

Khwan.

I won't leave you regardless.

I promised your mother and father

-and Aunt Phanna

-It's okay.

I already promised myself

that I will make you

fall in love with me.

That's right.

You are my darling

and everyone else's darling too.

Every single member of the band loves you.

Miss Kaeota.

So

where's Mr. Peter?

He has some urgent business

to take care of.

Ah, I apologize.

Mr. Peter has an appointment

with the record company owner.

He told me to give you this.

Thank you.

I'll take my leave then.

Three hundred.

-Give it to me.

-Give it back.

-What're you doing?

-I'll keep it for you.

-Give me.

-No, it's mine.

Didn't you say we didn't have any income?

ACCOUNTS

Where's that money from?

It's all right. Khwan merely

I borrowed it from my dad's friend

Uncle Yong so we can get by.

Oh, aren't Luli and Lila going out

to buy pork for Aunt Phanna?

-Ah, yes.

-That's right.

-Let's go.

-Come on, let's go.

Khwan,

I'd like to talk about the record company.

What did you answer them?

Nop, about Khwanchai.

So she

Did she reject us or what?

Well, she said that

she's worried about her band.

She prefers to stay with the band.

Then she thanked me

for the opportunity, blah, blah, blah.

Though frankly,

it's a pity, so disappointing.

Yeah, it is.

Well, whatever. Let's look around.

-Good evening.

-Hi there.

We're here to look for a singer.

-Thin.

-What?

Didn't you say that

she wouldn't sing anymore

since she's with him?

Nop, wait! Where're you going?

Can't you see who's sitting

right beside her?

Nop! Seriously?

You.

What're you doing here, Kaeota?

I work here.

This place doesn't suit you.

Do you still want to be a famous singer?

Why?

Do you still want me

to make a music album?

I didn't give you a chance last time.

This time, however,

I'm giving you a chance.

Will you accept or reject it?

Watch your step.

So this is your company?

Is this all?

I don't even see a recording room.

Where's the composer?

And where's the musicians?

I think you should invite

your first singer

to have a seat first.

Um, Miss Kaeota.

Please sit.

Do you like to eat gaprao?

I'm not hungry.

That's not what I mean.

I'm trying to make a metaphor.

When you cook gaprao,

do you need to own a pig farm?

Do you understand?

The music industry has its own system.

There are numerous ways

to advertise and promote the business.

Although I don't own everything,

I can choose anything.

And today, Mr. Mahannop

has chosen you.

You want to mold my music career,

but you have nothing.

It's starting from scratch.

Those who join us have to do it with us.

Someone has already contacted me.

Who?

Mr. Peter.

-Peter?

-Peter?

Nop, let her go.

-Um, we'd like to warn you

-Nop!

We're in no position to warn her.

We should let her do as she likes.

Don't get involved.

Well then,

thank you for today.

I appreciate you thinking of me.

On Wednesday,

I have a meeting with him.

This Wednesday?

Um, Wednesday

I booked a recording room

for you on Wednesday.

We're going to record your first demo.

MAHANNOP MAHASUWAN

MANAGING DIRECTOR

All right.

Goodbye.

Hey, Nop.

What are you thinking?

Watch your step.

PHLENGPHON DONSAWAN

Be careful.

-There's a staircase in front of you.

-Okay.

-Slowly, all right?

-Slowly.

Auntie,

can you see more clearly now?

It's

blurry.

I can fumble around somewhat.

I feel sorry for you.

Though I'm fumbling around too.

I've never sewed before in my life,

yet here I am.

I have to try

to do anything I can to support everyone.

-Let me see.

-Here.

Does doing anything you can

include asking for a loan?

Let's chat.

I talked to Uncle Yong.

He said he never lent you money.

So where did you get the money from?

Tell me.

You went to a loan shark, right?

The type that leaves their ad

on the electricity posts?

You know their interest rates

are extremely high, right?

Ek,

if I hadn't done that,

how could our band members

have supported their parents?

Or paid for food?

Ek,

please don't be angry with me.

Ek.

BUSABA CAFE

Kaeo, store your garlands

and then come here, all right?

You.

You see, those garlands

are all from Mr. Peter.

You should thank him. I'll be right back.

Okay.

I'll be right back. Give me a second.

Are you here specifically for me?

I'm going to hold

a big family party at my house,

so I want a good singer

to entertain the guests.

You want me to sing there?

It'll be on Wednesday. Please come.

Where is it?

Phu Phlet Park, my condo.

I'll pay you for singing.

Forty thousand.

Forty thousand?

Wow, it seems he really likes you.

If you accept this gig,

you will get the whole salary

and not need to share any of it.

Really?

Can we really go? The boss won't mind?

He won't mind. It's our day off.

Let's go have fun.

Come on, have some water.

Keep your body hydrated.

Drink it.

I don't want soda.

Can I have water instead?

Why? I already poured it for you,

so drink it.

Come on.

Sorry.

I don't want to drink soda.

Soda is full of sugar.

I don't want to get plump,

so I'd better drink water.

PHLENGPHON DONSAWAN

Hey, everyone!

Hurry up!

This is our first gig this month.

-Coming.

-Hurry up!

-Come on, quick!

-We're here!

Where's Saoek? Why isn't he helping?

It's so hot.

-Argh.

-Ah, hey!

Help us carry the equipment.

-Uncle.

-Yes?

-Put everything back inside.

-Why?

The host canceled the gig.

What? Canceled?

Yes.

And we were almost done

carrying it all out too.

Ah, it's good that they canceled.

We can take the deposit then.

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

But I accepted the gig without a deposit

to win them over.

You didn't ask for a deposit?

I'm sorry, everyone.

-Jeez.

-I am sorry!

I was so excited.

-It was our first gig in months.

-This is disappointing.

Auntie, let me help.

Although my eyes can't see

as clearly as before,

I am not deaf.

I heard everything.

You think that

I'm stupid, don't you?

I'm not smart like Mom.

I'm not as smart as

I'm not as smart as others.

I don't even know

if I can keep the band afloat.

Khwan, child.

We may be in a difficult situation,

but remember,

there must be a way out of it.

I don't know how long it's going to take.

No one loves me.

No one stands by me.

No, my child, don't think like that.

Come on, don't cry.

What is this?

It's from Mr. Rong.

I'm not one of the people

in his collection

whose monthly wage comes in an envelope.

I know you're not.

Mr. Rong also knows that

you don't want to take anything from him.

So he sent his right-hand man.

Then please tell my father for me

that even if I'm starving to death,

I won't touch his money.

I'm sorry.

I can't convey your words to Mr. Rong.

He pays my salary.

I can only carry out my job.

I'll take my leave.

Wait, Uncle.

I understand

-that it's your job but

-How about this?

When you are in trouble

or need help with something,

think of me.

I'll take my leave now.

SIANG THONG COMPANY LIMITED

Hello, Mr. Nop.

I don't want to stay

in your shadow anymore.

CHAIRMAN

Suwit already told me

that you don't want my money.

Think of it as your mother's then.

Did you so feel guilty

that you're trying to bribe me?

Nop!

You know why

I don't want to stay with you.

It's because the memory of you

abandoning Mom for other women

and causing her to die of a broken heart

still haunts me.

You're heartless enough to hurt Mom

even though all the money

that built your empire

came out of her pocket.

Stop saying things

you really know nothing about!

I established the company

with my own abilities.

If you want to be arrogant

and refuse my money, that's fine.

But do not speak for your mother

who had been long gone

because you and your mother

are not the same person.

I will stop speaking about it

if you stop interfering with my life.

Thanks for your hard work.

We'll be able to earn money

for food this way.

Let's keep going.

I think there must be a better solution.

Uncle,

do you have another job for us?

Tell us if you do.

Khwan!

Khwan!

Come on, get up. What's wrong?

Are you okay?

It's so hot today.

Hey, do you remember

why we ran away to become dancers?

Why was that?

Because we didn't want

to harvest sugarcane.

I remember now.

-Argh.

-I'm overheating. My skin is burned.

-Am I going to have melasma?

-Your face is a mess!

MAHANNOP MAHASUWAN

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Do you still want to be a famous singer?

Why? Do you still want me

to make a music album?

Will you accept or reject it?

I booked a recording room for you.

We're going to record your first demo.

I'll wait for you.

You want me to sing there?

I'll pay you for singing.

Forty thousand.

Hello.

M Sound at your service.

May I speak to Mr. Mahannop?

Ah, Mr. Mahannop is not here.

Um, would you like to leave a message?

And may I ask who is calling?

It's Kaeo.

Please tell Mr. Mahannop that

I'm not going to go to M Sound today.

Don't wait for me.

I already have another appointment.

I see.

You have an interview

with some big shot, don't you?

Ah, it's not that. I'm performing

for Mr. Peter at Phu Phlet Park.

Anyway, please tell Mr. Nop that

I won't be going,

or he might think I stood him up.

Pardon, where?

Kaeo, are you done?

Mr. Peter's car is her.

They can't park for long,

or the police will clamp the car.

Um, I have to go now.

Kaeo? Hello, Kaeo?

What the heck.

-Who was that, Thin?

-It was Kaeota.

Said she's not coming.

What?

She's likely going with a big company.

No surprise but it's upsetting.

What's the matter?

Your face looks like a sick dog.

Kaeota said that

Peter hired her to sing at his condo.

So?

He'll lure her into his condo,

and a clip will likely come out soon.

Wait a second, this

So you're saying that

Peter is manipulating her

to be his porn star?

Yes, that's what I'm saying!

Someone like that guy, Peter,

doesn't hire a singer to sing

at his place for no reason.

Where is his condo?

You plan to go there?

This is flesh, not armor.

Do you think you're a superhero?

We need a helper.

Hey.

Why do you want to quit at the same time?

Who's going to dance if we have a gig?

There's not going to be any gig.

It's been months.

Well, if we continue to stay put,

we'll starve to death for sure.

We're not as strong as Saoek

who can harvest sugarcane all day.

We were born to be dancers.

Let us go dance somewhere else.

Saying it that way,

does that mean another band hired you?

Do what you want then.

I have no strength to stop you.

Sometimes, we need to let things go.

-Farewell then.

-Goodbye.

Come on, let's go.

What, Khwan?

-What is it?

-Khwan, get in here!

-Khwan!

-What is it, Uncle Ud?

Clothes!

Accessories!

Where did they disappear to?

I don't know!

Khwan.

-Auntie.

-Uddy.

What happened?

All the performance clothes are gone.

Even the accessories are gone.

Really? How?

Luli, Lila!

Luli!

-Here.

-So heavy.

-There are so many bags.

-Luli, Lila!

-Luli, Lila, what are you two doing?

-Hurry up, get the bag on the car!

-Give me the bag now!

-Stop!

-Give it back!

-Start the engine now!

-Don't do this!

-Let go of the bag!

-Khwan, let us go! We have to go now!

-Let us go. Khwan!

Get in the minibus now! Driver, let's go!

-Quick!

-Go now!

Luli, Lila!

Luli, give them back!

-Khwan!

-Luli!

Come on.

They took everything.

There's nothing left, Ek.

There's nothing left.

Just walk in. What are you afraid of?

Is this really Mr. Peter's residence?

Yeah, that's right. I came here before.

Um, are you sure?

Can I trust this?

Why are you hesitant now?

Mr. Peter is a kindhearted millionaire.

He's not dangerous. Come on.

We can go back after singing a few songs.

Come on.

You're here, my capable Kaeota.

Wow, you look radiant today.

Ah, you compliment only Kaeota.

Am I just a tagalong to you?

Yes.

I was joking.

It's good that you both came.

Kaeo will feel safer.

Please come in.

Um, where is the party you mentioned?

Who else has arrived?

I'd like to greet them.

No one has arrived yet.

It's not yet the start time.

The food also hasn't arrived.

I've ordered the food

from a luxury hotel just for you.

Is that so?

A moment, please.

Ah, okay.

Hey, Miss Tagalong.

Joking, Julie.

Could you take your beautiful body

to get the thing for me?

Thing?

Ah, sure thing.

You stay with Mr. Peter, all right?

I'll be right back.

I'm sorry for today.

I've ordered the food from a hotel,

so I let the housekeeper rest.

I'll have to serve the guests myself.

Here.

Open it yourself,

so you feel assured that it's safe.

Remember, wherever you go,

open the bottle yourself.

Thank you.

Anyway

where is Julie?

Don't worry, she'll be back.

Come on, we'd better sit down.

Are you sure it's here?

I'm sure.

I used to contact someone here.

By the way, this woman

Is she your girlfriend?

No, she's not.

She's a singer I'm negotiating with.

Nop.

I tried to befriend the guard,

but no matter how I much asked,

he wouldn't reveal

which floor Peter lives on.

If he stays tight-lipped,

we'll have to find it ourselves.

Still remember how to use it?

Of course. You taught me.

Carry it with you

just in case.

I appreciate it.

Nop, that woman.

She's also a singer

in the cafe where Kaeota works.

-Let's follow her.

-Okay.

Uncle, see you later.

Thank you so much.

How are you holding up? Are you hungry?

No, I'm not. By the way,

where is the restroom?

Ah, it's that way.

Please make yourself at home.

Be careful.

Are you all right?

It's like the room is spinning.

You'd better sit down.

Be careful.

I think you feel car sick.

I'll get you some smelling salts, okay?

Okay.

-We're here.

-Who are you?

Don't remember?

It's okay if you don't.

You still know what this item is, right?

Take me to Peter right now.

Yeah, don't dally.

Miss Kaeo.

Miss Kaeo?

I suppose

you're ready to become my new movie star.

Is there anything I can help?

Um, it's okay.

They're with me.

-We're with her.

-Yes, sir.

‪Hey!

What's this?

Julie!

He has a g*n!

So do I.

-What if the neighbors burst in?!

-Good.

Let them come and let them

bring the police so they can arrest you.

Thin.

-Get the camera.

-Okay.

Stay still.

Kaeota?

Hey!

That's my personal belonging.

What right do the two of you have

to interfere with my hobby?

It's human rights.

Though you'll never understand

because you're inhuman.

How many victims have there been?

It is none of your business.

This time

it's my business.

What's the matter?

Do you want to watch too?

sh**ting a naked woman is an art.

Fools like you two won't understand.

And are you so clever?

You lure women into your lair

and film them without their consent!

That's not the point.

All of them come here

of their own free will.

I never have to force them at all.

Great speech.

Thank you so much.

I have everything on tape now.

So at this moment,

you should put your hands

above your head and turn around.

No.

This isn't an empty word.

Turn around

or I will sh**t.

Now!

Thin, take over the g*n.

On it.

Go. I said go!

Damn it!

Ah, over there. Almost done.

I'll take those parts, all right?

Just a little bit more.

Are you holding up okay?

Okay.

Keep going.

Smile and keep going.

Smile.

Like this.

The other side too, raise it up.

You're doing great.

Let's go.

Okay.

Come on.

Why aren't you using a broom?

Because we would finish too quickly.

Such a slacker.

PHLENGPHON DONSAWAN

You!

Who's the one who promised

to pay the interest on time?

The deadline was two days ago!

Yeah.

Getting a loan means

you need to pay it back.

Pay up!

-Hey, don't!

-What's your problem?

‪Eat this!

‪Eat this!

It's time for us to admit defeat.

Let's go our separate ways.

I am truly sorry, everyone.

We'll see each other again in the future.

Do you like Kaeota?

NEXT EPISODE

Do you have feelings for Khwan?

I trust Mr. Nop.

What about you? Are you sure about me?

DEAR KAEOTA
