01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

Well, my family has a mystical lineage.

Remember that I'll always be by your side.

From now on, let's be "F."

Friends with benefits.

Thank you.

I only made it through the difficult time
because of you.

I think we can officially be
in the talking stage now.

You don't need to win me over anymore.

Khobfa, hurry up.

Come on, stand in the middle.
That's right.

One, two…

Whoa, you look like a statue.

We're not taking an ID photo. Hold this.

Yeah, try to look natural.

Do we really need to do it like this?

Of course.

This is a poster
to recruit new band members.

If the photos aren't appealing,
who'll apply?

But I don't like competitions.
I don't like competing.

You don't have to think of it that way.

Just get onstage, play,
and let people hear your music.

If no one ever hears a good song,
can it really be called a good song?

Right?

Not necessarily.

There are plenty of great songs
that hardly anyone listens to.

Whatever. Come on.

One, two.

Let's try another pose.

Lift the guitar like this.
Rest it on your shoulder.

Yeah, just like that.

And smile.

If you don't smile in this pose,
you'll look intimidating.

Smile.
People might be too scared to apply.

One, two, three.

This one looks great.

Don't you think I'm smiling too much?

Too much? No. It's barely a smile.

Or do you prefer this?

This one's good.

You look like you're mad at someone.

You need to smile like this. Like this.

THE GRANDEST CONTEST OF OUR UNIVERSITY

Do you think anyone will join my band?

Of course. Someone will.

And if no one does,

we'll find a way to make it happen.

Hey, people are encouraging us
to form a band for the university contest.

Yeah, one of the seniors asked me
to convince you to enter.

He said it'd make
this year's contest more exciting.

That does sound interesting.
If I apply, will you help me?

Try begging me cutely.
Maybe you'll win me over.

Little Mochi, would you please
consider accepting me, Krit?

I'll think about it.

Really?

I don't know.

DAD

I'll be right back.

GRANDMA

GRANDMA

GRANDMA

Your grandma called you so many times.
Are you really not going to answer?

Hi, Grandma.

Khobfa, how have you been?
Are you doing okay?

Come visit me this weekend, dear.

I'll probably be busy with work.

Really?

You can bring your work and do it here.
I miss you.

I also…

If I finish my work, I'll go and see you.

All right. I'll be waiting.

Okay.

Come on.
Let's continue checking our photos.

Let me take a break for a while.

My dad called to remind me
about dinner at home.

But something feels strange this time.

What's strange about it?
It's a good thing your dad called.

He told me to invite you too.

This is the plant you told me
you brought from your grandma's, right?

Yeah.

No wonder you take such good care of it.

If you miss your grandma,
why don't you go see her?

I think…

she deserves to know
how much you miss her.

You too.

You have every right to miss her too.

But I'm scared.

I'm really scared.

KHUNKAO CHAIPANHA
MAR 6, 1980-JAN 12, 2020

Have you decided
where you're going to live?

What do you mean?

You got accepted, didn't you?

Move somewhere near campus and…

Just don't come back here.

What do you mean?

Do you want Grandma to die
like your parents did?

You're bad luck.

Everyone around you ends up suffering.

The fortune teller warned us about you.

But Mom and Dad said that wasn't true.

Then where are they now?

Where are they, huh?

If it weren't for you?

I'm sorry.

I…

If you really love Grandma,
don't ever come back to see her.

Do you understand?

I knew it.

Someone as kind as you
must have reasons for doing anything.

But your uncle
deserves a punch in the face.

No, a hundred punches.

Right in the face!

Gosh.

You once told me that,
whenever I'm by your side,

everything will work out, right?

Yeah. Why?

Then let's go see your grandma together.

Grandma, I'm here!

Khobfa!

How do I look?

You look good.

I'm not confident at all.

I've never met your family before.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Dad just wants to get to know you.

Have you ever brought anyone
to meet your dad before?

No. You're the first.

Really?

You're the first person
he's ever asked me to bring home.

I'm nervous.

What do you think your dad will ask me?

What's your name?

My name is Rin.

What's your relationship with Khobfa?

Right now, we're--

- We're roommates.
- Ouch!

Yeah, just roommates.

I just learned that kids these days
call their partners "roommates."

No, ma'am. We're not dating. We're not.

We're in the talking stage,
but we're not together yet.

Then keep talking.

Talk while walking,
standing, or lying down.

Keep it up,
and Rin will eventually give in.

- Will you really give in?
- What?

I haven't seen Khobfa smile like this
in a very long time.

You must be the one who makes him smile.

Me?

Yes.

I was the one
who asked Krit to invite you.

Oh, thank you for inviting me.

Is there something
you wanted to discuss with me?

Nothing.

We just wanted to meet someone
our son is close to.

Right, honey?

Yes.

It's nice to finally meet you in person.

Until now, we had only seen you
in the clips Kong and Kan showed us.

What clips?

The clips from your campaign.

Oh, right.

We're running a campaign
to promote the university's image.

We also have a joint channel now
with over 100,000 followers.

Well…

That sounds interesting.

How long have you been living with Mochi?

It's been two years
since my dad passed away.

These are my parents.

Everyone in your family is good-looking.

Of course.

What? I was complimenting your parents.

Complimenting them
is basically complimenting me.

Mom, Dad, this is my future boyfriend.

What? You've gone too far.

Sir, ma'am, we'll see how it goes.
It'll probably take a long time.

- Not long.
- A long time.

- Not long.
- A long time.

No, it won't.

Hey!

Well, your room is pretty nice.

Whoa.

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL.
WHY DOESN'T ANYONE LIKE ME?

WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO HATE ME?

I don't want to be a jinx.

I don't want to be a jinx.

I don't want to be a jinx.

I don't want to be a jinx.

I don't want to be a jinx!

Mom and Dad said I was their gift.

Here you go.

This one's for you.

Thank you.

This is for me?

Of course.

I invited you to dinner with my family,
so of course I got you a gift.

Thank you.

Krit, Kong, Kan,
could you get my things from upstairs?

Sure.

You don't have to go.

Let the three of them go.

Stay and keep us company.

Of course, Grandma. Don't worry.

I'll shape them as well as I can.

Let me see.

Here, Grandma. Look.

You're good at this.

Grandma, should I put them in these bowls?

Yes. Pick the pretty ones.

Okay.

Thank you, Rin,
for bringing Khobfa back to see me.

It wasn't me.
Khobfa already wanted to visit you.

If you hadn't come…

he wouldn't have.

Khobfa has a hard time trusting people.

He had a bad experience at school,

so he quit basketball
and music altogether.

Khobfa used to be in a band?

Yes.

I see.

There's still so much about Khobfa
that I don't know.

I've got it, Dad. Where should I put it?

I have somewhere else to be,
so I'll excuse myself.

Goodbye.

Influencers sure are busy, aren't they?

Let him go. It's actually better.

Now it's just our family.

Come on. Let's eat.

KHUNKAO CHAIPANHA 1980-2020
NITTAYA CHAIPANHA 1980-2016

Sweet rice ba*ls with egg.
Grandma and I made them for you.

Rin helped too.

Mom, Dad, please watch over Grandma.

Your parents are in heaven.

Don't bother them.

You're the one
who has to care for your grandma.

But I'm a jinx--

A gift.

You're your parents' gift,
just like you wrote in your diary.

I'm sorry. I happened to come across it.

But I'm sure your parents
felt the same way.

You've got it easy.

You made me pedal all the way here.
Now I have to pedal back.

I don't know how to ride a bike.

You can ride a motorcycle, though.

You rode on the back of mine,
and now I'm riding on the back of yours.

That makes us even, right?

Hey, Rin.

What?

It's raining.

So? What's there to be afraid of?

Shouldn't we find shelter?

Didn't you ever play in the rain as a kid?

It's so much fun.

Should we find shelter?

No. Let's play in the rain. It's fun.

Come on, lift your feet! Quick!

Rin! What the hell are you doing?

I told you.
Playing in the rain is awesome.

Hey!

This really is fun.

Yeah!

Hey.

Why don't you go change in the bathroom?

Why? Are you shy?

Come here. I'll take it off for you.

Hey, no need.

I can do it myself.

Do you want to shower with me?

Why are you here again?

Get out right now!

This is my house. What right do you have
to give it to Khobfa?

Khobfa! Where are you?

If I don't leave it to Khobfa,

then should I leave it to you?

You never cared about me all these years.
Why come making demands now?

Go. Get out!

You care more about your grandson
than you do your own son?

Have you gone senile?

Grandma is your mother too.

Show her some respect.

Who are you to lecture me?

I'm not lecturing you.
I'm just warning you.

I warned you not to come back, didn't I?

What happened last time?
Grandma ended up in the hospital.

It was because of you.

Grandma calls me to visit all the time.
I can't bring myself to say no to her.

You can't say no,

or are you hoping to get something?

Like you, Uncle?

How dare you speak to me like that?

Don't bring bad luck to my mom
like you did to your parents.

Stop it right now!

Isn't it true, Mom?

Everyone knows this kid is a jinx.

What?

You want to punch me, you little sh*t?

That's enough!

What kind of adult
keeps reopening a kid's wounds like this?

Oh, so you're Khobfa's friend.

No wonder. You're both pieces of sh*t.

If you're this drunk, go home. Go!

Mind your f*cking business!

Hey!

Don't you dare touch my man.

Let go of me!

That hurts!

Khobfa, that's enough.

I'll go now, Grandma.

Khobfa!

Go wherever the hell you want, b*stard.

- Khobfa, come back!
- Don't ever come back!

Khobfa, how long will you keep
running away from your problems?

Seriously, how long will you let people
look down on you like this?

That's because I really am a jinx!

Listen to me.

You haven't had any bad luck at all.

You haven't done anything wrong.

You're not me. What would you know?

Why wouldn't I know?

Because you're lucky.

Everyone loves and admires you.

You weren't born a jinx like me!

You think I've never had bad luck, huh?

Mom, I won another award.
I'll bring it home to show you.

- Don't run, sweetie. You'll fall.
- Dad!

- Hurry.
- Walk slowly.

What do you want to play?

You think someone who was lied to
his whole life about his dad being dead,

only to learn he'd run off
to start a happier family,

leaving his wife and son behind
with this stupid curse…

You think that's what happens
to someone who's lucky?

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

It's good to let it out.

The same goes for you.

You should let it out sometimes.

Why do you keep bottling it all up?

Are you crazy? I'm a person, not a robot.

I can't flip an emotion switch
like you can.

You can. You really can.

I can't do it.

I know what to do.

I'll take you somewhere
to blow off some steam.

What?

That's more like it.

Come on. I'll take you there.

Okay, now that we're ready, pick one.

Which one?

Here. Let's go with this one.

Now dip it into any color.

Think about the awful thing
that just happened,

then splash it onto this.

Here, I'll show you.

Just let it all out.

Everything bad, everything awful,
let it all out on here.

Give it a try.

I'm not a jinx.
I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm not a jinx.
I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm not a jinx!
I didn't do anything wrong!

Yeah, that's it.

Just like that.

Now that's Khobfa!

Now that's Rin!

Khobfa!

- Hey, relax!
- You're covered in green!

Hey!

Whoa!

Yes. Krit and I have been friends
since high school.

But you only recently started
making couple content together?

Yes.

I do support talented kids…

from ordinary backgrounds.

But honestly, this whole
couple-content thing you're doing

isn't going to work.

You should stop.

But Krit and I--

I've had someone look into you.

You grew up in an orphanage, didn't you?

Money must be important to you.

Name your price, and I'll pay it.

But you have to stay away from my son.

I've got it, Dad.

Where should I put it?

What made you call me here today?

I just wanted to see you.

Don't you have a boyfriend?

Or did you get dumped?

I'm single.

We're just in the talking stage.

So…

I still have a chance tonight, right?

KRIT

Hey, Krit. Weren't you going to a bar?
I thought you were with Mochi.

What bar?

Mochi posted a story.
I saw it and thought it was your hand.

Look.

I think Mochi hid his story from you.

Huh?

MS. DARAN

Rin.

Rin.

Yeah?

Someone's calling you.

Who is it?

Ms. Daran.

Oh, really?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Hello, Mom.

Hello, Rin.

How are you, son?
Did you move to a new place?

Who are you living with?

With Khobfa, Mom.

Really? Can you trust him?

Why aren't you staying with Danthai?

Did something happen between you two?

Whoa, which question
should I answer first, Mom?

Nothing happened between Dan and me.

And as for Khobfa,
I trust him more than anyone.

Is that so? Okay, that's great.

The next time I'm back in Thailand,
don't forget to introduce him to me.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Wait, Mom.

Yes? What is it?

Nothing.

Thank you

for being the kind of mother you are.

Hey, what's this?
Why are you suddenly getting sentimental?

I love you, Rin.

I love you too, Mom.

More than anyone in the world.

My mom wants to meet you too.

Really?

Yeah.

I want to meet her too.

Maybe I can ask you
to be my boyfriend in front of her.

Whoa, that's too much.

Boyfriend?

Let's see how things go first.

Stop making that face. Forget it.

I'm glad you opened up to me.

Hey!

What the hell are you two doing?

Stay away from my boyfriend.

We need to talk.

What the hell are you doing?

That's what I should ask you.

You've been avoiding me and lying to me.

Why did you do that?

What I do is none of your business.

Don't forget we're just friends
with benefits. I'm not your boyfriend.

I'm worried about you.

You're acting like this
because of my dad, aren't you?

He told you to stop seeing me, didn't he?

Krit.

I know everything.

Who are you calling?

Mochi. He won't answer.

Krit,

Dad asked you and Mochi to come today

because he wanted Mochi
to stop seeing you.

Didn't I tell you to tell me
if anything happened?

I didn't want you
to have problems with your dad.

Hello, Dad.

You said you wanted all your children
to be happy, right?

Well, Mochi and I are so damn happy.

We're not going to break up
because of what you said.

What the f*ck are you doing?

You'll get into another fight
with your dad and end up hurt again.

I'd be more hurt if I lost you.

Do you really think
anyone will want to join our band?

Someone will.

Look, I put up a new poster.

Your application form is ready too.

Just wait. Someone will show up.

- But will this poster even help--
- Stop.

Whatever you're thinking, don't say it.

Have some faith.

Hey, look. Excuse me!

Are you interested in joining a band?

No, thanks.

THE CAMPUS STAGE
BATTLE OF THE BANDS APPLICATION

It's okay.
There are plenty of people around here.

Don't tell me
you're actually competing in this too.

Let's go, Khobfa.

There's still time to withdraw.

Yeah.

If you don't have a band,
you can't compete.

I don't have one yet, but I will.

Don't worry about losing so soon.

Really? Well, good luck.

Krit! Mochi!

I'm interested. Where do I sign up?

Right here.

Move!

Scan it now.

- Done.
- Nice.

Hurry.

Hey, guys.

What are you doing?

HORIZON IS LOOKING FOR BAND MEMBERS

sh*t. Don't tell me you two
are entering the music contest.

You guys came at the perfect time.

Here. Where are your phones?
Join my band right now.

No. No, buddy. No.

You should find someone else.
Don't let us drag you down.

Jinnie's right.

We'd better stick to drawing.

We're not good at that stuff.

But don't worry, man. Someone will apply.

- You two are both handsome.
- Good luck. See you.

Excuse me.

- Hey. Are you here to apply for the band?
- Yes.

- Here. Fill this out.
- There!

I found them. Krit and Mochi. Thank you.

Jeez!

Do you think anyone will actually apply?

Okay, then let's try this.

If we can't find applicants ourselves,
we'll have to rely on the universe.

How?

"A moonlight-bathing ritual
to ward off bad luck."

Now, who wrote this?

MOONLIGHT-BATHING RITUAL

Hey!

Where did you get that?

Moonlight-bathing ritual
to ward off bad luck.

I'm too scared to try it.

What should I do?

I don't want Grandma to suffer
because of me again.

Did you ever try it as a kid?

No. I was too scared.

Then it's time to try.

It'll drive away your bad luck, and people
will finally dare to join your band.

You want me to get naked? No way.

Whoa, this is destiny.

It's a full moon tonight.

I think you should try it.

No.

Come on. You'll feel better.

I want you to make it
into the contest too. Please?

- Please.
- How about this?

- You jump, I jump. Deal?
- Huh?

I did some research.

It says we have to bathe in the moonlight
for at least nine minutes.

And while we're at it,
we have to make a wish too.

Are you ready?

Fine. Let's do it.

Come on.

- Start!
- Start!

Are you ready?

Yeah.

But don't you dare peek.

Same goes for you.

- Three, two, one.
- Three, two, one.

One, two, three.

Hey, who's up there?

- sh*t.
- sh*t.

Let's move.

Emergency assembly.
Everyone to the first floor now.

Roger that.

Don't forget to make a wish.

Okay. You lead.

May the moonlight shining down tonight…

"May the moonlight shining down tonight…"

…cleanse Khobfa of every bit of bad luck.

"…cleanse Khobfa
of every bit of bad luck."

And please let the person standing
in front of me become my boyfriend.

These guys are your bandmates?

Can they even play instruments?

Our band members never back down.

No wonder they're your friends.

The competition hasn't even started.
He's so good.

That's so cool.

I'm going all out in the final round.

Same here.

There's no way I'll lose to you.

If I win, will you be my boyfriend?

You've got me cheering you on.

Are you really not going to keep fighting?

Why is the cure for the curse here?

I secretly put our story
into the song too.

My boyfriend really knows
how to fill me with positivity.

Can I kiss you?
