[bunniefuu]

You think I don’t dare to?

Oops.

This is the taste I missed.

It’s so sweet!

Auntie.

Auntie?!

How have you been doing, Jay?

Great.

What brings you here today, Mom?

Can’t I come visit once in a while?

Gugg, I’ve been hiding something from you.

What is it? You’re scaring me.

Well, I’m dating Jay.

Sant! You said it?

Nice one, friend.

Hello? Where are you?

I’m here.

I thought something came up.

Something did come up.

My mom suddenly showed up at the dorm.

And how did you get away?

I texted her, saying I have an errand.

From now on, it’s just the two of us.

This outfit… this place…

It really feels like that day again, doesn’t it?

Not quite.

It’s missing the flower.

Go on a date with me, will you?

Come on.

You’ve never been to this kind of place before?

I haven't.

I'm telling you, you're going to love it.

I’ve played that machine before, too.

But this one? I’m the champion!

Once you try it, you’ll forget the library.

Let’s play that one.

This one, right here.

What game is this?

It measures your power.

You get a score based on how hard you hit.

Let me go first.

Whoa, you got a 10.

And I was holding back, too.

Can I try?

Sure.

Well, I think the machine's broken.

Let’s play something else.

What?!

Do you want to hop on the back, little bro?

Eh!

Ouch!

Ugh!

Ugh!

This really is more fun than the library.

What should we play next?

How about that one?

Wait!

Seeing this reminds me of that day.

I hope I won't have to dive in
and get soaked again today.

Oh?!

You said your throat was dry,

so I got you this.

Why?

Are you afraid I’ll ditch you again?

What’s there to be afraid of?

Nope.

Who would be afraid of such a thing, huh?

Wait.

Did you forget something?

What is it?

I see.

You’re in such a rush
you almost missed the good stuff.

You’re in such a rush
you almost missed the good stuff?

Getting c*ck now, huh?

Why not?

Someone once told me that

looking straight ahead gets you there fast,

but don’t forget how beautiful the sides are too.

Oh!

Good thing I brought a tee to change into.

I had a feeling something like this would happen,

so I brought one too.

Finally we got to wear matching shirts
like you wanted, huh?

Who calls them “matching shirts”?

Since you know me this well,

we’re a “perfect match.”

Let’s go.

Hey.

Yeah?

Today, don’t get drunk
and yell at the DJ again, okay?

Yeah, yeah. Got it.

Whoa, wait.

That person looks like my mom.

That’s your mom’s style?

Yep.

Same hair color,

same dress,

same bag…

That is my mom!

Mom?

Jay?!

Hi again.

What are you doing here?

Hello, honey.

How are things so far?

Don’t tell me

this foreign guy is your boyfriend.

Hello.

I’m Robert.

I can speak Thai.

Hello.

I was just bored,

so I downloaded the app.

I never thought I’d find true love.

Ohh…

so when you came to see me this morning,

you were checking where I was going?

Wait a second.

You said you were visiting
your old school for a career event.

So why are you here?

Well,

I finished the school thing, Mom.

Now we’re out eating.

Right?

You look familiar.

Have we met before?

Auntie.

Auntie?!

Yes, you.

I don’t think so, Auntie.

Oh!

Mom.

We’re out of beer.

I’ll go order some.

Mom, how long have you known him?

It’s been a while.

It’s been two whole weeks.

What?! Two weeks?

Mom, how is that "a while"?

Who is he? Where is he from?

What does he do?

How can you trust him already?

Whoa.

Beer’s here.

Robert, where do you come from?

I’m American.

Really?

What is the capital city of the USA?

Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C.

Isn’t it New York?

It’s D.C.

What do you do?

Robert works in accounting at Silicon Valley.

Wow.

Can I see your business card?

Jay, you’re being rude!

It's okay, babe.

I’d love to, but I didn’t bring one.

See? He’s totally a scammer!

Mom, you’ve been fooled.

Let’s go. We’re leaving.

Okay.

I’ll tell you the truth.

I’m not an accountant.

I’m a CEO.

Whoa!

You really went all out with that lie.

Where did you get this fake one?

Khaosan Road?

Huh?

Go ahead and check.

So?

He’s telling the truth.

I didn’t say anything because

I wanted you to judge me by who I am,

not what I have.

Aww, Robert.

Why are you so sweet?

Where’s Mom?

Robert asked her to dance.

Ugh, Mom! Seriously?

A lady like you

shouldn’t go off with a guy.

Ever heard of modesty?

Aren’t you going to stop her anymore?

Sant.

Yeah?

Let’s pay the bill and go.

Got it.

The sky’s really beautiful tonight.

Jay,

can I ask you something?

Sure.

Why did you let your mom go so easily today?

I’m sorry.

If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s okay.

I just thought

now that we’re together,

maybe you’d want to share things with me.
Let me carry some of the weight with you.

Of course, I can tell you.

It’s no big deal.

It’s because

Robert can make her smile.

You ever wonder...

why a kid like me, obsessed with sweets,
ended up in med school?

Yeah.

The truth is,

I had an older brother.

His name was Jeng.

I'm off to class, Mom.

Why don’t you just get a new box already?

Aren’t you embarrassed
walking around with that thing?

I can’t do that, Mom.

My student mentor gave it to me.

What kind of degree takes six years?

Other kids finish in four
and help their families already.

Mom, I’m in dental school.

Obviously, I’ll become a dentist.

If you want someone to help collect rent,

let Jay do it.

Look at him.

He eats sweets all day.

There’s no way he’s holding down a job.

Hey! Why am I the one getting roasted?

I’m just teasing.

I’m off now.

Mom, can you wash my lab coat?

Ugh, you’re always making me do stuff!

Do you want to wash his coat?

Nope.

My brother graduated...

and became a top dentist.

And I went on to study baking,

hoping to open
a little dessert shop with Captain.

I see.

Well, that’s how it should’ve gone

until one day,

a car ran a red light and hit Jeng.

But that wasn’t the first time

someone in my family passed away.

My dad died when I was little.

My mom raised both of us all by herself.

In my memories,

she’s always been incredibly strong.

Oh!

It looks like it’s about to rain.

I’ll go bring the laundry in first.

Mom, can’t it wait a bit?

Seriously?

She still has the energy to do chores.

She probably just doesn’t want to sit around.

She’s more sad than she lets on.

Really, Uncle?

Back when Jeng was still around,
they fought every single day.

Jay,

your mom only finished grade 4.

She wanted her kids to get
a high level of education.

You know what?

When Jeng got into dental school,

she kept bragging about it to all the relatives.

Even when I had a terrible toothache,

she wouldn’t let me see a dentist.

She told me to wait until Jeng graduated

and get my teeth done by him instead.

Just think about that.

JENG

Mom, I’m off to class.

When are you going to get a new box?

Aren’t you embarrassed
carrying that thing around?

It’s fine. I’ll get one soon.

Ugh, when will you finally be able to help me out?

What kind of degree takes six years?

I’m off.

Yeah.

So I promised myself

I’d do everything I could...

to protect that smile.

But today, I almost ruined it with my own hands.

Jay, listen.

You didn’t do anything wrong.

You just cared.

You were afraid he’d be the reason
your mom lost her smile.

But what about you?

Have you smiled at all?

I don’t know.

I’ve had to quit sweets,

pull all-nighters studying,

and some days I was so stressed.

I barely slept.

But there’s someone

who still manages to make me smile.

YOU GOT THIS, JWAY!

Hello, all my fellow cavity crew!

This is “Hungry while sleeping,
Yawning when waking up!”

This adorable Sant is here to snack for you!

If you’re enjoying the stream,

don’t forget to send hearts to cheer me on!

And what Sant is going to eat today is…

Croissant!

If I helped bring back Mom’s smile,

you’re the one who brought back mine.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Then can I ask for something in return?

What is it?

Gugg doesn’t believe we’re really dating

unless he sees a picture of
me kissing your cheek.

That’s it?

Mm-hmm.

Sure.

If he doubts us that much, I’ll prove him wrong.

Let’s do it. Ready?

One, two—

Hey! I wasn’t done counting yet.

It’s the end of our date,

and you kissing me feels a little basic,

so I’m kissing you back.

Just to make it crystal clear we’re dating.

Who said it’s the end?

There’s still one thing
we haven’t done together yet.

But we’ve done everything now, haven’t we?

Well, this time, I’m not drunk.

♪ Since you came into my life,
it's been so bright ♪

♪ With you right here,
it feels so warm, so right ♪

♪ So stay with me, don’t ever leave my side ♪

♪ 'Cause every day, you make me smile ♪

Thanks for walking me home.

No problem.

That’s all I can do for you.

See you around.

- Aaaahhh!
- Hey!

Hey! What? What is it?

There’s one right there!

- It’s by the door!
- Hey, hey, calm down.

What do you mean “one”? Oh, that thing?

Don’t worry.

We’ve got tons of them back home.

They’re way bigger than this one.

Let me take care of it.

All done.

You can go in now.

Thanks.

You were seriously cool just now.

What did you say?

I said you were super cool, Gugg.

I mean it.

Holy crap!

They really are dating!

Jay!

Jay!

Jay, wake up!

What happened last night?

Why are we like this now?

I vaguely remember it was cold,

so we went to get a can of beer each.

How many did we have again?

I guess it got a little out of hand,

and the two of us…

Wait!

Maybe nothing even happened.

We were just hot,

so we took our shirts off and slept.

That’s all.

Phew.

At least we’ve still got our bottoms covered.

Yeah, you’re right.

But I’m wearing yours,

which means you’re probably wearing mine.

So last night…

we did something

that required taking our underpants off.

Sant,

I’m sorry.

No,

I’m just a bit upset.

It was our first time,

but I can’t remember any of it.

It’s okay.

If you can’t remember it,

then how about we make a new first time?

What do you say?

Can we?

Of course.

If you’re okay, I’m okay.

Then, go close the curtain.

The light is hurting my eyes.

Mmm.

Wow.

HBD, JAY!

Strawberries!

- Hey!
- Ouch!

Are you in a rush or what?

- Come here!
- Let me go!

In a hurry, huh?

By the time you’re back, I'll be asleep.

I'll wake you up myself.

You have to wait until I finish my lab.

But it's my birthday.

Why can't I eat first?

It’s your birthday, but that’s my cake.

If you really want to eat, go buy it yourself.

Behave.

Jay!

Wait for me. We'll eat it together.

Fine.

I’ll wait.

Hey, what's wrong?

Bad dream?

No.

I just dreamed about us
swapping underwear that day.

Why did you bring that up again?

But last night we kind of flowed into it again.

Or?

What a relief.

Mine's still on.

Oh?

So where’s yours then?!

Surprise!

I felt uncomfy,

so I ditched it hours ago.

It’s way comfier.

What time is it?

I’m supposed to meet my mom this morning.

Can you get dressed first, please?

Do you sell birthday candles?

Yes, left side in the back.

Got it, thanks.

You're actually a pretty warm person.

You’re selling birthday candles too.

I actually meant to order prayer candles,

but messed up.

Why are people happy
about getting older anyway?

Well, they get cakes and gifts.

Wouldn’t you be happy too?

Not really.

If I want something, I buy it.

Why wait for my birthday?

So how is that the same?

How isn’t that the same?

Or is birthday cake
just tastier than usual ones?

So, you won’t care about my birthday either?

To me, birthdays are just exciting for kids.

Are you still a kid, Sant?

Here you go.

I'd like to pay, please.

That’ll be 20 baht.

You can scan here.

Thank you.

Do you know what day it is today?

What day?

It's been 90 days since we met.

Honestly, I’m really tired.

No matter what I do, you still can’t forget your ex.

Maybe I’m the one

who needs to forget you.

Don’t say that! I’ll hit you!

Cut, cut!

That’s from the wrong page.

That was the gangster’s line.

I’m sorry.

I told you I don’t know how to do this.

Why don’t you rehearse with someone else?

I just wanted to hear
you sweet-talk me for once.

Huh?

Oh, nothing.

Let’s take a short break.

Thanks.

It’s like you knew I was hungry.

So what are you rehearsing for?

A senior’s thesis project.

I heard the lead actress is really pretty too.

And with my natural charm... well, trouble.

Really? Let me see her photo.

Come on. Show me now.

Nope, I was just kidding.

There’s nothing. It’s just a joke.

Gugg, help me out.

Alright.

Let me handle it.

Damn, that’s heavy.

I’m putting it over there.

Oh, and by the way,

I’ve got a film sh**t this evening.

Oh yeah?

Uh-huh.

Dude, Jay totally played it cool with me.

He acted like he didn’t care about his birthday,

so I planned a huge surprise.

Let’s see if he can keep this cool after this.

How did you even know his birthday?

Come on, it’s not that hard.

Everyone’s birthday is on their ID.

And his says it’s today!

sh*t.

You’d better book a place now.

All the good ones are probably full.

But if I take him somewhere fancy,

he’s going to know something’s up.

I want it to be a real surprise.

Then what about our faculty’s canteen?

I’m sure that’s a surprise.

Save that idea for your birthday, okay?

I’ve already got a plan.

I’m going to take him somewhere unexpected.

I saw his note on his phone.

He’s going to make merit
with his mom that morning.

After that, when he comes back to his room,

a whole set of big surprises
will be waiting for him.

Ta-da!

With you wrapped in a bow, huh?

Wow!

I know you don’t eat sweets,

but I made this cake for you myself.

I know you aren’t mean, Jay.

Just one bite? Please?

Now, I feel surprised, really.

Someone like you knows how to bake a cake?

Who said I know how?

I just know someone who can help.

When it comes to desserts,

you can count on me.

Thank you very much, Uncle.

But I just need to borrow your kitchen.

Eh?

The person I want to teach me is...

Sant!

Why did you come to me to learn cake baking?

Oh.

That’s because I’m making a birthday cake for Jay.

Sant.

You know how much I like you, right?

You doing this kind of breaks my heart.

Like, you’re breaking it real hard.

Do you even realize that?

Ugh!

I was scared of this happening.

That’s why I told him

I’m just collecting material for a script.

Ta-da!

My very first homemade cake.

Taste it, coach.

It looks pretty nice.

Wow, it’s delicious from the first bite.

That’s my student!

Even I can’t get it to taste like this.

I tweaked the recipe a bit to match my taste.

But don’t worry, I wrote it all down.

Let me see.

SWEET FISH SAUCE CAKE RECIPE
STEP 1: CAKE

Wait, where did the rest go?!



a lot of fails,

and I finally made it work!

Damn.

So now all that’s left is sneaking into
his room to set everything up.

Yeah, but I don’t know how to get in.

I don’t have a key.

Dude.

That should’ve been your Step One.

Jay,

my A/C is broken.

Can I crash here tonight?

Holy sh*t.

I saw the actress.

She’s gorgeous in person.

Let’s hope she’s just as nice.

They’ve been bragging like crazy.

Wait and see.

Hey, here she comes.

Baipor, this way for makeup, please.

Hello, Baipor.

Have you eaten yet?

Yes.

Please sit here for your makeup.

Whoa. You’re stunned, huh?

Her cuteness knocked you out, didn’t it?

Yeah,

I’m stunned.

She’s adorable, right?

You take the bed tonight.

I’ll sleep on the couch.

Nope.

We’re dating now.

We should sleep in the same bed.

You’re not thinking anything dirty, are you?

What?

No…

Well, how could I not?

Do you have anything to do tomorrow?

Oh right,

I’m seeing my mom in the morning.

Really?

Then while you’re out making merit,

I’ll clean up the room.

Aww, thanks.

Wait.

I didn’t say anything about
making merit just now.

Come to think of it...

You’ve been smelling like cake lately.

You’ve also been acting kind of weird.

Is there something you’re hiding?

Uh-oh. Busted!

The truth is my A/C isn’t really broken.

I just wanted to use yours.

Ha!

I figured as much.

Good thing I came prepared.

I even brought an extra pair of boxers.

Hey!

Hold up.

Close the curtain first!

Nope.

Just cover your eyes.

Oh,

this is what you want?

This time, I’m not letting you win.

Hey!

Is this how you want it?

Heh?

Jay!

Jay!

Jay!

Jay, come on!

Jay!

I’m sorry

for making you listen to all
that drama for so long.

Ooh, new car?

It’s one of the other cars from my family.

Hop in.

Hey,

can I charge my phone?

I’m using wireless charging,

but there are other ports too.

Here,

inside here,

and in the back.

Take your pick.

Oh,

there’s one more.

Huh? Where?

That’s for phone charging.

But this one...

is for charging my hand.

If I’d known you were this clingy,

I would’ve asked you out ages ago.

Thanks for opening up about your brother.

You can tell me anything from now on, okay?

I don’t want you carrying it all by yourself.

Now I’m not sure anymore who's recharging who.

Let’s go.

Hope you have a great day today.

Mm-hmm.

Wait for me, okay? I’ll be back soon.

It’s all set now.

Room's ready.

Cake’s ready.
HBD DR.JAY, THE WEIRDO

sh*t!

I forgot the candles!

You're getting candles for Jay’s birthday cake?

Captain.

I kind of figured something was up
when you asked me to teach you how to bake.

I just didn’t want you to feel bad.

The one who would feel bad isn’t me.

It’s the birthday boy.

Sant.

Is being with me really that good?

Why are you asking that?

Someone like me isn’t good enough
to make anyone happy.

You deserve someone better than me.

Are you saying you want to break up with me?
