Do you think

it would be better if I move back to your house?

Would you be okay with that?

Tong’s in danger.

Where are you going?

The test is not done.

You meant to use Tonkla as bait to get me here.

Why is it not working?

Is it because...

of the Golden Blood?

I’ve recalled it.

What my dream was.

It’s to live this life with you Tong.

Mark!

It’s me!

Mark!

Mark!

Mark!

Hey!

Mark…

Tong…

I’m sorry.

Mark!

There you are.

Last night,

I fell asleep waiting for you.

I’m sorry.

It’s alright.

I should have waited for you.

No,

I meant what happened last night.

About that, it’s also alright.

I almost harmed you.

But in the end, you didn’t.

Mark.

We’ll find a way to cope with this.

I believe so.

I…

I don’t want you to be afraid of me.

I trust in you, Mark.

I told you, right?

That I trust you.

Will you stop pouting now?

Will you stop pouting now?

Hmm?

Not yet.

I forgot about the quiz.

I haven’t read it!

Have you read it?

Almost until the end.

Yeah?

How was it?

Can you give me some spoilers?

Sure.

Kla!

Wake up!

There’s a quiz!

Get up!

“She smiles with her eyes squinted,”

“full of delight”

“from the sweet anniversary present.”

“The ring placed on her ring finger”

“as a vow of eternal love.”

Anniversary?

Is it important?

Yes,

in the end, the main leads get together.

Wow!

That’s great.

It’s good that we have Mark.
Otherwise, I would have died.

Tonkla, you wait here in the car.

Why?

There’s a limit on the number of visitors.

Then, I can wait here with Tonkla.

You go on up.

You have to come with me.

Miss Thara wants to see you.

You guys can just go ahead.

I can wait in the car.

I have to revise for the quiz anyway.

Go on.

Wait here.

It’s going to be quite hectic these days, Tong.

I understand.

It’s because of me.

Never blame yourself, Tong.

You did nothing wrong.

But I was the cause of everything.

I can't help anyone

and even am a burden.

But right now, there’s a way

that you can help us.

That’s why I wanted to see you.

What is it?

Mark told me.

That Nakan couldn’t hypnotize you.

Does that have any effect on anyone?

Did I put anyone in trouble?

No one was affected.

It makes us realize that...

your blood is key to helping all of us.

What should I do?

We’ll have to ask for your blood
to extract and make a medicine out of it.

That’s if you agree to do it.

I do.

I’m willing to do it.

Aunty Wan will take care of
making this medicine.

It's the hope that you will be
able to protect others, Tong.

But until this is completed,

trusting ‘other’ people is still dangerous.

It’s the danger from unforeseen circumstances.

I got it, Miss Thara.

‘Other’ people mean strangers,

people around you,

and all your friends.

Tonkla as well?

The first book for this semester is Illiad.

Then we’ll go on to The Odyssey.

Sounds unfamiliar, right?

What if I say

“Troy’s Trojan Horse”?

Does that ring a bell?

The story is about the w*r
between Troy and Greece.

But in the end, Troy, with their strong defense

that Greece used 9 years to fight,

faced defeat.

Do you know why?

Because they’re careless?

I think it's because they're foolish.

A big city with established power

usually falls because of something like this.

They let the Trojan Horse in during the w*r,

that’s careless.

Otherwise, their ego was in their way.

Any questions?

Isn’t the reason why Troy lost the w*r

was because they were tricked?

On top of that, the story was made up.

Although the Trojan Horse doesn’t exist,

the fall of Troy is true and evident in history.

That’s a long time ago.

A thousand years before Christ.

I don’t think anyone would ever
fall for that trick now.

Have you ever heard of “Trojan”?

The Trojan Virus came from
the name of the civilians of Troy.

It’s when you leave something inside

like the Trojan Horse and wait for it to blow up.

The Trojan Horse strategy still exists.

It just changes with time.

Who would be stupid enough

to actually make a wooden horse?

Isn’t that right?

Watch out.

This strategy still works

because humans still have
feelings and emotions.

For example, love.

It’s the source of weakness

for humans.

Prof. Nakan is like a villain in movies.

He says things in such an annoying way.

But from now on,

there might be a way to stop Nakan.

The way is...

What is it?

Okay.

You guys want to keep it between you two?

Then I won’t stick my nose in.

I’ll get going.

I need to get the registration code
from my advisor.

Mark.

Tonkla already knows about you, though.

But it’s better for him not to know about this.

For the safety of the plan and yourself.

But Tonkla said it

that we’re the same team now.

Do you still not trust Tonkla?

I trust Tonkla

but I don’t trust Nakan.

If Nakan hypnotizes Tonkla,

he might hurt you.

Tong.

If Aunty Wan's plan goes through,

everyone will get to live their lives

and there would be no need
to worry about anything.

I get it.

I’m just afraid that Tonkla would be offended.

I understand.

Tonight, let’s buy some delicious food,

ones that Tonkla likes,
and let’s make up with Tonkla.

[Tonkla Tongsrignam]

[Prof. Nakan Amarittrakul]

You’re my advisor

so I’m here to get my registration code.

By the way, have you got your part-time money?

Oh, I went home early that day

so I didn’t go through with the experiment.

Mark must have told you

not to meddle or talk to me.

And you trust him.

Mark is my friend.

Mark doesn’t have good intentions for you.

He just wants you guys to believe so

and succeeded.

You don’t have to try to bluff me.

I don’t believe you.

I just want to warn you.

That Mark just wants something from Tong.

Something that I don’t know

what exactly it is.

Alright, alright.

It’s okay if you don’t trust me.

But as your advisor,

I would love to see you take the grant.

I won’t take the grant.

I don’t want to owe anyone anything.

Especially someone I don’t trust.

Are you going to throw away your future

because of Tong?

You’re denying the scholarship,

trying to make money to pay for school fees,

while Tong lives abundantly?

Don’t you think you have
a choice to live a better life?

I’m happy with how things are right now.

Eyes don’t lie.

You might have been raised to give it up

for Tong.

I wasn’t giving it up.

I gladly did it.

Everyone deserves the best.

Don’t you ever wonder

why you always have to give
good things up for someone else?

Alright, you all.

Take one each.

You can pick the one you want.

I want this.

What about this one?

Miss, I want this one.

Let’s see.

That one’s also nice.

I think

this one has long sleeves

it’s a better fit for Tong.

Just in case Tong bumps into things. Right?

But last time you gave it to Tong already.

I want this one.

That’s not nice, Tonkla.

A good boy has to share,

help out, and take care of the one weaker than you.

Do you want to be a bad boy?

Me and the other boys don’t like a bad boy, though?

No.

Well done.

Then, let’s give this one to Tong, yes?

Alright.

There are so many other ones.

Being used to sacrificing

until you forget that you are important enough

to deserve the best too.

I was also taught by Thara that way too.

To give things up for Mark.

For the organization.

But sometimes, you have to be selfish.

You can’t just back down for others all the time.

This is a scholarship from the university.

It has nothing to do with Tara Group or me.

Have a think about it.

Thank you.

Wow, Tong.

You can sing so well.

Next time,

sing for me again.

No.

When someone’s listening closely

I would get all tense up.

I can’t do it.

By the way,

Miss Thara said

I need to get my blood extracted for the medicine,

so when is that?

Aunty Wan has to get
the tools and place ready first.

Then I will bring your blood to her.

Isn’t Aunty Wan going to do it at the florist?

We don’t have all the tools there.

The medicine is one that
has never been made before.

So, where are we going?

I’m not telling.

But I think you will like it.

Hey, did you bring me here

because you thought I was a nerd?

No.

Come on, this way.

In that era,

you were already born, right?

I’ve been through all the eras, Tong.

Alright,

Grandpa Mark.

Does the picture resemble the real thing?

Yeah, so much that it makes me nostalgic.

Hey!

There’s a train.

Come on.

Hello, Grandpa.

Welcome to Tour Tong Train.

Welcome aboard.

Where shall we go today?

Hold on tight!

Wherever that love takes me.

Here’s your picture.

Thank you.

This is not Mister Mark.

Then what?

Master Mark.

Was that a sincere laugh?

It was.

See this couple here?

Yeah.

They’re the couple who’s been
together for the longest

in Thai history.

Guess how long they were together.





You almost got it.

They were together for 85 years.



But I can be with you for even longer than that.

I can’t live that long.

What do you think

makes them stay together for so long?

I guess

love?

A human should be able to
give a better answer than mine.

Let’s go to another place.

There’s a place I want to take you to.

Tong.

Happy one monthsary being together, Tong.

Hold on.

Where did you learn this from?

Why?

Is it not good?

It’s good.

It’s just that…

you’re way more head over heels than I thought.

Head over heels?

Isn’t this what humans do on anniversaries?

I saw it on the internet.

Wow.

But... I’m glad

to have you with me.

I also want to apologize for that day again.

There's no need to apologize anymore.

It’s me who should apologize.

It’s our monthsary

but I have nothing for you.

It’s totally fine.

We’re going to be together
for so many years anyway.

Then,

when we got home

I have a surprise for you.

Thank you.

Love

is what’s going to make the strongest wall

crumble so easily

with trust.

You can open your eyes now.

Thank you.

That’s not all.

This song is for Mark.

[I’ve got everything prepared.]

After collecting the blood,

you will be fatigued.

Have some rest.

I will bring the blood to Aunty Wan
and come right back.

I’m fine on my own.

Please step out of the car.

Don’t make me force you to.

You’ve collected the blood without permission.

[Tonkla: Where are you? I’m about to head home.]

[Tonkla: Want anything to eat?]

[Tong: Can you come back a little later at night?]

[Tonkla: Why?]

[Tong: I’ll fill you in later.]

What’s this?

Mark has taken Tong’s blood.

He’s about to exploit your friend’s Golden Blood.

He’s just putting on a show in front of you.

He’s going to use this blood for Thara.

Don’t try to bluff me.

Judge it from what you saw.

But you’d better hurry up.

Don’t wait until your friend
got drained all the blood out.

[Miss Nuan]

Yes, Miss Nuan?

Huh?

What did you say?

Hello.

Tong!

It’s Miss Nuan!

Miss Nuan got hit by a car!

What? Miss Nuan?!

How is Miss Nuan?

Miss Nuan is in ICU right now, Tong.

Where are you?

Are you at the florist?

Yes.

I’m in front of the florist.

Hurry down.

Kla, are you sure that this is real?

Did Miss Nuan really get hit by a car?

Are you going to doubt even such a thing?

A boy at the orphanage called me.

But you don’t have to go

if you don’t care about Miss Nuan.

Would you believe me now?

Are we going, Tonkla?

Didn’t you say it's urgent?

Kla, hide in the florist.

Hey, Tong, let’s go. We don’t have time.

We can’t go with Nakan.

I just want to help.

If I meant to harm you,

I’d have done that long ago.

You know what I can do.

But this can be part of your plan.

I can’t control anyone from afar.

Also,

I can't control human feelings.

Hello, Tee-lek?

Can you talk to Tong for a second?

Are you still not here, Tonkla?

Miss Nuan is still in the ICU.

This is Tong.

We’re getting there as fast as we can.

You can let Mark know, Tong.

But I’d recommend you to do it quickly.

Let’s go, Tong.

The doctor said they’re not sure
if Miss Nuan will see the light of tomorrow.

Just trust me.

How is Miss Nuan doing?

The patient has lost lots of blood.

I can’t say anything right now.

She’s still in a critical stage
and we need to keep watching.

Doctor,

please help Miss Nuan.

An operation involves high risk

but I will do my best.

Tong!

Tong!

Tonkla!

How is Miss Nuan doing?

Yes, how is she?

How is she?

Is she okay?

Miss Nuan…

Right now,

the doctor is taking care of Miss Nuan.

She’ll be fine.

She’s under the doctor’s care

so you don’t have to worry.

Come on.

Don’t cry.

It’s alright.

Shall we live here until
Miss Nuan has recovered?

You guys should go back to school.

That’s what Miss Nuan would want the most.

How can I go back?

If I do,

then who would take care of the boys?

Don’t worry.

I’ve got someone to take care
of this place temporarily.

At least you don't have
to worry about their living.

You just have to worry about
getting Miss Nuan treated.

Why are you helping us?

I’m the acting chairman of Tara Group right now.

We’ve been sponsoring
this orphanage for so many years.

If anything happens at this place,

I’m partly responsible.

I told you,

that I won’t harm you guys.

Never mind what Mark said to you,

but I haven’t done anything.

Mark didn’t say anything to me.

What happened at the resort

and at the medical center

was enough to know that you can’t be trusted.

But I’ve never harmed you, Tong.

You saw it yourself at the medical center

or all the times that you go to school.

If I wanted to, I would have done it from the start.

The reason why you couldn’t

is because Mark was there.

Mark didn’t let me warn you

because he wants to use you.

Do you know

what Mark’s going to do with your Golden Blood?

I’m warning you out of goodwill, Tong.

Thara is more cunning than you think.

Mark is no different.

If you don’t believe me.

That’s Mark’s true color.

When he’s around you guys,

that’s just a facade.

Are you really going to go back to Mark?

He seems so scary.

Kla, you’re being played by Nakan.

Mark did that for a reason.

Yeah?

Then why did he take your blood?

Can you really prove that he took
your blood because it was necessary?

I just know it.

There’s really nothing to it.

Then why didn’t you tell me?

Huh?

Why?

Is it something I’m not allowed to know?

Tong!

Mark.

Mark, are you alright?

Why did you have to fight
with people from the Tara Group?

Something came up.

Where have you guys been?

Miss Nuan got hit by a car. She’s in the ICU

so Nakan took us to see Miss Nuan.

But don’t worry.

We were very cautious.

Nothing happened.

Neither to Tonkla.

Hey.

Hey,

what are you doing? Hey!?

Tong, let’s go!

Mark is suspicious.

Tonkla, I was trying to see
if you were hypnotized.

Tong, let’s go.

No!

I’m the one who takes care of Tong.

Are you sure you’re taking care of him?

Not that you’re using him?!

Kla, it’s not like that.

Mark has his reasons.

I gave him my blood

because I was willing to.

Then what’s the reason, Tong?

The reason that you can’t tell me?

You changed and only trust Mark.

You freaking…

trust someone whom you’ve just met

even more than the friend you grew up with!

Hold on, Kla.

When the time comes,

I will tell you everything.

But now, would you please calm down?

Fine!

When you decide to trust me

that’s when you’ll see me.

Kla.

Kla!

Kla!

Tong.

Let him be for now.

Where are you going?

I’ll give you a lift.

I’m sad because of what happened to Miss Nuan.

I’m afraid of losing.

I’m afraid that I won’t have anyone left.

And now, Tong doesn’t care about me.

I have no one left.

It’s alright.

Because you won’t feel anything anymore.

You know how dangerous it is to go with Nakan.

Why did you risk it and go with him?

I tried to tell you.

I called you more than a hundred times.

I was fighting Nakan’s men at that time!

But Miss Nuan was in the ICU at that time!

Still, you should’ve waited for me.

Wait?

Wait for what?

Wait for Miss Nuan to die?

It’s still dangerous, Tong.

You know

that if Nakan had you,

- what would happen then.
- What?

Why?

Will the vampire world fall into chaos?

Are you afraid that you’d lose the Golden Blood?

Why?

I’m afraid to lose Miss Nuan too!

Miss Nuan is my Mother, Mark.

I don’t know

if you understand what fear is.

But I’m afraid right now.

Do you think I’m not afraid?

What would someone like you be afraid of?

The reason why I’m upset

is not because of the Golden Blood.

But I’m afraid of losing you.

It’s a feeling that I haven’t felt in a while.

But I definitely know that it’s fear.

I fear that Tong won't understand me.

I fear that Tong won’t trust me.

I fear that I won’t get to be with you.

What’s wrong with you, Mark?

If anything happens to Tong,

I don’t know how I can live on.

No matter what anyone says,

I will trust in you, Mark.

You trust in me, right?

Mark.

Mark.

Hey.

It’s alright.

I want it like that night.

Like this?

You and Mark

have crossed the bodyguard line
already, isn’t that right?

Yes.

Me and Mark are dating.

The infatuation Mark has for you

is not love.

It might be just...

the power of the Golden Blood.

You know what you have to do from now, right?
