Then from now on,

we stay 2-arm’s length apart.

Then shall we go to the beach?

Didn’t you say we have to keep some distance?

So do you like it?

I do.

I wasn’t talking about the trip.

So that you won’t forget that you came here with me.

Meena!

Excuse me, have you seen Meena playing around here?

Would you come with me to my room to get something?

Meena!

That’s beyond a bodyguard’s duty.

Who said

that I’m just your bodyguard?

I want to stay like this for a long time.

You

and me,

just the two of us.

Me too.

Do you think that was all Nakan’s plan?

There’s only one person

who can do something like this.

Now he knows

that you are the Golden Blood.

What if next time

the one who got hypnotized was not Meena

but my friends?

Do you think we should warn everyone?

The thing between us

and about your blood,

I think the fewer people know about it

the safer it is for everyone.

It’s like I’m putting people in trouble again.

Don’t worry, Tong.

Don’t you forget

that you have an immortal bodyguard like me with you.

But right now,

you’re not just my bodyguard anymore, Mark.

I never want to go back!

It’s final exams right after we get back.

Freshmen's life is so darn short.

Damn!

I forgot we have exams coming up.

But final exams also mean school break!

School break?

Oh, right.

A hotel staff told me people were fighting yesterday.

But I don’t know how things get from there.

Do you guys know anything?

Not at all?

Are you Mr. Tong?

Yes?

A guest who’s just checked out left something for you.

Thank you.

[A present for Meena’s handsome brother, Tong.]

[I have to leave first so I couldn’t bid you goodbye.]

[See you again.]

Meena’s probably safe now.

By the way, how come you guys just disappeared last night?

Well, Mark was drunk

so I took him back to his room.

I see.

You missed meeting Prof. Nakan.

We met him last night.

He treated us to c*ck last night.

You disappeared so you missed that.

Such a miss.

- Big miss.
- That’s right.

Serves you right.

I was so lucky.

He was so kind.

Miss Thara!

Miss Thara!

Miss Thara!

Miss Thara must have used her power too much.

She might have to rest for a while.

In the meantime, let’s give her some artificial blood.

I’ll prepare some herbs for blood nourishment.

Thanks, Mark.

I would have been in trouble without you.

Don’t mention it.

You came to see me because of what Nakan did, right?

You saw it already?

I’m sorry

for not informing you in advance.

Now Nakan knows

that Tong is the Golden Blood.

He won’t just stop here.

I will be more careful.

I heard you were sick
so I came to check in on you.

Thanks.

But there’s no need for the hassle.

The Board of Directors sent their regards

and also

had the date of the meeting fixed.

The meeting?

The Chairman is ill,

don’t we need an acting chairman?

I only need a couple of day’s rest.

That won’t cut it.

Everyone agrees that you should take some rest.

Just leave it to us.

While Miss Thara is unwell,

she has assigned me to take care of all the duties

until she gets well again.

But now you’re busy being a college student.

Wouldn't that obstruct you from being an acting chairman?

Mister Nakan,

but aren’t you also a professor at that university?

I’m there to build a connection

between us and the people at the university.

To expand the network.

What about you?

What are you doing there?

Or does that kid you’re with

have something special?

What’s there that you can’t share with us?

What are you trying to hide from us?

Then…

Someone who’s transparent like me,

who’s got nothing to hide,

is probably more fit for the acting chairman role than you,

isn’t that right?

Did you hold your tongue

to protect the Golden Blood?

If the BoD knows that you hypnotized a human to harm Tong,

do you think they would let it slide?

Are you
threatening me?

It’s such a shame

that those are only words.

You don’t even have any evidence.

All the CCTV files at the resort have been deleted?

Yeah.

They’re a step ahead of us this time.

Then what do we do?

I don’t know either.

But we’re lucky

that it’s school break right now.

It’s probably harder for Nakan
to find an excuse to approach you.

Do you think

it would be better

if I move back to your house?

Would you be okay with that?

Well, if right now

Nakan is aiming for me,

doing that would probably be safe for everyone.

But you once told me

that moving in and living with me all the time

is suffocating.

That

it’s not the same.

I felt like I was kind of forced into it.

But now I’d gladly do it.

Are you sure?

That living in my house
and being with me 24/7

would be okay for you?

You’re there with me

so why wouldn’t I be okay?

That’s great, then.

How should we tell Tonkla this time, then?

What?

A research?

Are you still not done?

And we’re having a school break right now too.

The work got a bit lengthy.

You went then

and now you’re going again.

You’re leaving me behind alone again.

You and Mark have something that I don’t know, right?

I’m not lying.

I’m really going to do my research.

Let’s do this.

I promise,

whenever I’m free,

you would be the first one I come to see, alright?

See you, dude.

Affirm it to everyone one more time.

No one is allowed in my room.

Alright, Mr. Mark.

All clear.

[Mr. Nakan, they must have known.]

[No one’s here.]

[Where shall we go next?]

Hide tight.

I knew it

that Nakan would have someone infiltrated into my team.

You’re a genius.

You’re my best bodyguard.

Were you a spy before?

Is this a time to joke around?

You told me yourself

that I shouldn’t worry since I have you.

Look, I made some sandwiches.

Want a bite?

Try it!

Good?

So, where are we going?

You’ll find out.

Hey,

Aunty Wan’s shop is this small.

Wouldn't she feel burdensome if I moved in?

I don't think so.

I’ve prepared a room for you
just as you asked.

This is like in the movie!

I told you

it’s not small.

What are you on about?

Is this time for such a joke?

I meant the room.

You’re the one overthinking.

I’m taking this bed.

Back at home,

I would sleep on the right

and Tonkla would sleep on the left.

What do we do?

I’m not Tonkla

and I like sleeping on a big bed.

So now we don’t have to fight for the beds, right?

Hey.

Hmm?

That’s enough.

I’m going to go get washed up.

I like your smell more than anything in the world.

Mark.

That’s enough.

That’s enough.

I’m going to shower.

That’s enough.

You’re going to shower?

Hmm?

Yeah.

Hey!

Mark.

What are you doing?

I’m going to shower with you.

The bathroom is big.

Can’t we shower together?

Though the bathroom is big,

I prefer showering alone.

Still no replies from Tonkla?

Yeah.

He’s probably still mad.

But I think keeping a little distance like this

might be better.

What about you?

It’s a new environment

so would it be hard for you to sleep?

You’re right.

I think it would probably be hard for me to fall asleep.

How could it be hard to sleep

when I have Mark with me like this?

When I was young,

I don’t get a chance to do anything that much.

Until I met you

and since then I get to try so many more things.

The vampire’s world

and Mark’s world.

They’re quite peculiar, aren’t they?

Is there anything else

you want to try?

That’s probably something like
working hard to graduate.

Get a good job

then save up some money
and do a back-pack tour abroad.

Sounds like a good fit for you.

What about you?

Do you have any dreams?

A dream?

I probably had one

but I’ve forgotten all about it now.

Forget?

I should try to recall it, shouldn’t I?

Actually, there’s no need.

Just live every day happily.

Especially in times like these

when you don’t know what’s going to happen.

Still, I am aware

that when I’m with Mark,

I’m happy.

Sleep.

[A dream?]

Oh, hello, Professor!

Hello.

Hello.

It’s school break

but you guys still keep fit.

We’re always keeping ourselves fit.

Would you like to sh**t some hoops with us?

Better not.

I’m afraid I would win.

Alright.

Oh? What about Tong and Mark?

Are they not with you guys?

Well, they’re busy with some sort of research these days.

So they don’t come to practice.

What are your plans after this?

We probably just go our separate ways after practice.

Yes.

Then, let’s go.

The meal's on me.

Oh, Prof.

How can we take that offer?

How can you turn down an adult’s offer?

Right.

Isn’t that right?

You have a point.

Oh, right.

What do you call that?

Rude.

Yeah!

Uh, Professor.

Then let me just pack up for a second.

Please wait for us for just a second.

Just a second, please.

Do you guys like it?

I don’t usually have dinner.

Oh, Prof.

It's once in a blue moon that we get to eat something nice like this.

I can’t tell.

Why don't you get some takeouts for Tong and Mark?

That won’t be necessary, Prof.

I don’t get to see them that often these days.

That’s right.

Tong used to always be with Tonkla

but now he’s with Mark instead.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The Thing is, my friend is looking for a sample group
for the test of skincare for sensitive skin.

The budget is around 20,000.

What? 20,000?

Are you interested, Tonkla?

Come on, Prof.

The question is when and where I should go

not whether I would go.

But isn’t it too little?

No, that’s more than enough.

Then I’ll let you know the place and date as soon as I know it.

Okay.

Umm…

Are you not interested in hiring me too?

I do have quite a nice skin myself.

Yes.

Your names will definitely be on the list next time.

Really, Professor?

Thank you.

Here.

Apart from Miss Nuan,

I’ve never peeled fruits for anyone.

Why?

Salty isn’t it?

Are we switching roles here?

I should be the one taking care of you.

Mark has done so much looking after me.

I want to be the one who does it too.

Would you like anything to eat?

I’ll get it for you.

I want to eat Tong.

Hello, are you working today?

Yeah, I’m about to head off.

When are you coming back?

Everyone’s been asking for you.

I’m tired of answering on your behalf.

Who asked?

Dome and Pupae?

No,

it’s Professor Nakan.

He treated me to a meal today too.

Professor Nakan?

Kla, did you meet up with Professor Nakan?

[Yeah.]

[And dude,]

[the Professor was so kind.]

[He’s giving me 20,000 for just a day of work.]

What work?

Don’t get involved with Professor Nakan, dude.

Hold on, what’s wrong with you?

Do you not like Professor Nakan?

It’s not that I don’t like him but…

Don’t meet up with him.

Don’t be around him.

Why?

What has he done to you?

Just trust me, Kla.

Give me your word.

[Fine.]

[Okay.]

[I’ll head to work.]

Do you think if I told Tonkla the truth

would he be more surprised or troubled than this?

If you’re uncomfortable,

I think you can just talk it out with Tonkla.

But you said it’s better when less people know about this.

But you trust Tonkla, don’t you?

Instead of worrying,

I think the two of you should just talk it out.

That’s probably better.

Then can you take me to Tonkla?

I’m meeting Miss Thara tomorrow.

My healing power should make her recover faster.

After that, let’s go and see Tonkla.

Do you know how to work it out?

Aunty Wan taught me how.

The herbs smell nice.

Are you leaving now?

Yeah, I have to visit Miss Thara.

One second.

What are you drawing?

Hey! Don’t look just yet.

Wait up.

Here you go.

I asked for the recipe from Aunty Wan.

Cute, right?

Well,

just so-so.

Just so-so?

Then don’t drink it.

Taken and no return.

I’ll get going.

Hold on.

Did you forget something?

You don’t want me to leave, do you?

I’ll be right back.

Thank you.

Thanks for coming.

Hello, Prof.

You didn’t need to come pick me up here.

Thing is, there’s a little problem.

What problem?

Nothing must, it’s just…

One sample couldn't join us and canceled.

I just don’t want to make another appointment

do you know anyone who can fill in?

Yes, Professor.

No problem.

I got this.

I’ll leave it to you.

Alright, Prof.

Then please follow our staff in.

Alright, thank you.

This way, please.

Oh, just a second, please.

Just a second.

Yes?

I’m now at Tara Group Medical Center

we’re now looking for one tester for research.

If you’re interested, please come in!

This way, please.

Alright.

Mr. Mark is here.

The path is clear.

[Hello, everyone.]

[I’m now at Tara Group.]

[One tester for research has canceled]

[so if you’re interested in a gig then…]

Aunty Wan, can I go out to see Tonkla for a bit?

Where?

At Tara Group Medical Center.

Tonkla is meeting up with Nakan right now.

I don’t know what will happen.

That doesn’t sound good.

Let’s wait for Mr. Mark.

He’s about to come back.

He won’t take long.

But right now…

Mr. Mark gave me an order.

Please listen to me.

Kla!

Tong!

You’re here too?

Why didn’t you answer my call?

They asked me to turn off my phone.

Let’s go register together

so we can get our blood tested.

I’m not going anywhere.

I’m getting you out of here.

Hold on!

Why?

Kla, you don’t know anything right now

but Professor Nakan is deceiving you.

Why?

I want to explain but

come with me for now.

Tong!

Hold on!

Tong!

Miss Thara!

Where is Tong?

Tong?

I asked Tong to hide at Aunty Wan’s place.

- Why? What’s wrong?
- No, he’s not there.

Tong’s in danger!

Hold on, dude!

Hey, Tong!

Would you tell me what this damned thing is all about?

I really can’t explain it to you right now.

Why not?

But I always tell you about everything.

Or do you not see me as a friend anymore?

I will explain everything to you.

But for now, you have to get out of here.

- What’s wrong with you?
- Get out, Tonkla.

What’s wrong with you, Tong?

I will stall for some time.

The person Nakan wants is me, not you.

Get out!

Where is Tong?

Where are you going?

The test is not done.

You meant to use Tonkla as bait

to get me here.

Yeah?

And did it work?

Stop.

Don’t come any closer.

If you do, I will tell Miss Thara all about it.

About Meena and about today.

You don’t really know Thara, Tong.

Trust me.

Do you really think that

when you turn 21,

you’re really going to be free?

Of course.

Indeed,

you really know nothing.

There’s only me

who can help you.

Join my side

and I will give you true freedom.

Why is it not working?

Is it because

of the Golden Blood?

It’s my birthday in a few days.

Then everything will be over.

You’re wrong.

Things are about to get started.

Tong!

Did you get hurt anywhere?

So vampires

really exist?

Yeah.

I didn’t believe it at first just like you.

Mark is also a vampire?

You saw it with your own eyes.

Are you still going to deny it?

What the hell is going on?

One day I’m friends with a guy
whose blood is wanted by the vampires.

Then there’s this vampire bodyguard guy.

I’m sorry.

I should have told you long ago.

I was afraid that if you know about it,

you would get in trouble.

But you saw it, right?

That not telling me

was even more dangerous.

I just didn’t know how to tell you, Kla.

I don’t know if you can take it if I told you.

Why would you think I won’t be able to take it?

Tong.

I’ve been your friend for 20 years.

Do you think if you told me,
I would be surprised,

wouldn’t be able to take it,

run away,

and leave you alone?

I was worried about you.

And don’t you think that I’m worried about you too?

Don’t think that you’re alone, Tong.

Even if it’s a Zombie Apocalypse,

a volcanic eruption, or a landslide,

I would be with you, my friend.

Kla.

I’d be with you until we die.

But from now on,

if there’s ever anything,
you have to tell me straight.

Okay?

Okay.

I promise.

So…

What are you guys going to do next?

I might have to lay low like this for a while.

You don’t have to worry, Tonkla.

I will have someone I can trust
look out for you at the apartment.

Hey.

How can I let Tong go through this alone?

Vampires are so damn scary.

Let’s do this.

You vampires fight each other out.

I’ll take care of Tong.

Actually,

it might be a good idea
for you two to stay here together.

So you wouldn’t have to worry about each other.

We have me, you, and Mr. Mark.

Who could ever harm us?

You got it.

Aw!!

You forgave me already, right?

Fine!

Aunty Wan has prepared a room for you.

This way.

That room?

Look at you, Kla.

Are you sleeping right away?

Damn, this is so soft.

I’ve recalled it.

What my dream was.

You asked me the other day.

I think I’ve got the answer.

An answer to

what?

For what my dream was.

I don’t know what my dream used to be.

But now, I’ve found my new dream.

It’s to live this life with you Tong.

It might not sound like a big or ambitious dream

but I just want a small house,

a family,

and someone who makes me smile every day.

Then, shall we make this dream come true?

Happy one monthsary being together, Tong.

Happy monthsary.

No matter what anyone says,

I will trust in you, Mark.
