01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

I'm glad to see you again.

Maylin is the daughter
of one of my mom's close friends.

Your mom seems to hope for more.

Can I ask you something?

You have a crush on Runch, right?

Aunt Ging!

Let's just keep hugging.
It warms my heart.

I hope your plan will succeed.

An actual sh**ting star--

What are you looking at, Runch?

I'm looking to confirm this isn't a dream.

Waking up to see your face

just makes me so happy.

Isn't it a bit too early for that?
You're making me blush.

You were blushing last night too.

And also the other night.

And the night before that.

Stop it.

If you go sleep anywhere else,

I won't allow it.

I don't want to go anywhere either.

I just want to lie next to you like this.

Gorgeous.

I like the nicknames you give me.

Like what?

Like…

"my girl,"

"my wife,"

or "mine."

I'm so happy to hear that.

My girl.

My wife.

You're mine.

Then…

can I be yours forever?

I'd never let anyone else have you.

Yes, Mr. Apichet?

Sure.

- Mrs. Runch, please have a seat.
- Sure.

- Maylin!
- Runch.

So you know each other?

Yes, we do.

Perfect, then.

Maylin's advisor
is a close friend of mine,

so she asked me to hire
one of her best students.

I saw that your team still needed people,

so I decided to hire her
to work on your team.

Sure. I'll take care of Maylin
as best I can.

Thank you, Runch.

I've wanted to work with you for so long.

Could you train her right away?

Sure.

- This is it.
- Okay.

Everyone,

this is Maylin. She's new here.
Please take good care of her.

Hello. My name is Maylin.

I'm looking forward to working with you.

This way.

This is your desk.

If there's anything you want to know
or don't understand,

feel free to ask me. Don't be shy.

Sure, Runch.

I'll bring the documents

on our current case
for you to read for now.

Sure.

- Make yourself at home.
- Thank you.

Welcome, Maylin. My name is Utt.

Hello. I'm Maylin.

So you and Runch already know each other?

Yes, we've known each other
for a while now.

Since we were little.

Neen.

Home already?

I arranged a little something for you.

You did this for me?

Yeah. I saw that
you always came home tired,

so I wanted to help you take the edge off.

If you don't find it pretty,
or if you don't like it,

please forgive me.

It's beautiful.

No matter what you do for me,
I'll always like it.

There's one more thing
I want to ask of you.

What is it?

I bought an outfit.

I wanted to wear it for you tonight.

But it'd look much better
if you put it on me.

Can you help me?

Of course.

But…

I think

you'd look better with no clothes on.

Intent is the key issue in this case,

so you have to go through
the timeline in each slot.

Got it, Runch.

Also,

try opening that file.

This one?

See? It's just like I said.

There's something going on
between those two.

Why'd they have to be so close
just to look at some documents?

This can't be normal.

Yeah, it's obvious.

The new girl seems
totally in love with our boss.

Runch is so hot.
Of course the new girl would fall for her.

Trust me,

there's something going on between them.

Hey, give it back. I'll be right back.

Ms. Neen.

- Are you here to see our boss?
- Yes.

Oh, didn't you call her before you came?

She just went out with the new girl.

- New girl?
- Yes.

See… I don't know if I should say this,

but I don't want you
to get the wrong idea later.

Please say it. I'm all ears.

Well… Lately, Runch and the new girl,

Maylin, have been working together
on a project every day.

Isn't it normal for them
to work together every day?

Well, it is.

But I think they seem

awfully close.

I hear they already knew each other,

since they were little.

I don't want you two to fight,

but this photo is quite telling.

I guess it's because of their new project.

Runch has always been serious
about her work.

Yes. I hope that's the case too.

If you'll excuse me.

Lately, Runch

and the new girl, Maylin, have been

working together on a project every day.

They seem awfully close.

This photo is quite telling.

I'm sorry.

Sorry for coming home late.

My client just wouldn't stop talking.

It's okay. You always work hard anyway.

I've missed you all day.

How's work going?

I'm working on our case strategy.
There's quite a bit of work.

You have so many new projects.

Your team must be hiring
someone new, right?

- There's a new girl.
- Yeah?

But she's still new to the job.

So I have to supervise her closely.

Well, who's the new girl?

Mr. Apichet hired her.

Someone recommended her to him.

Once the project settles down,
I'll be able to delegate more.

But for now, we'll have to work together.

Runch, are you close to her?

No.

She's just a coworker.

Lately, Runch and the new girl,

Maylin, have been working together
on a project every day.

They seem awfully close.

Why can't I stop thinking about it?

Ms. Neen,

is something wrong?

Nothing. I just have something on my mind.

Nat,

I have something to take care of.
I won't be back.

Call me if you need anything.

Okay. That's all.

Ms. Neen! Hello.

Hello.

Is Runch here?

We need to go over
the witness's testimony again

and compare it
with the opposing party's timeline.

If we aren't accurate about this part,
I'm afraid they'll use it to press us.

Maylin,

are you okay?

I'm okay.

Just feeling a little dizzy.

Did you get enough sleep last night?

I only slept for two hours last night.

I was busy preparing the summary for you.

Two hours isn't nearly enough.

When building cases,
your focus is important.

If your body's weak,
then your brain is weak too.

I just wanted to do my best.

I didn't want to disappoint you.

Why don't you leave and get some rest?
You may come back later.

Sure.

Maylin!

Boss.

Neen!

I'm sorry, Boss.

Ms. Neen asked to see you,
so I brought her.

I didn't think you and Maylin would be…

Neen.

You should sit down.

Sit down and rest.

Neen!

Mr. Utt,

who's that woman?

She's Runch's wife.

Neen.

Please let me explain.
It's not what you think.

She was dizzy, and she almost fainted.

So I grabbed her.

That's all.

I'll take your word for it.

But there's one more thing.

Utt said you've known her
since you were little.

Is that true?

I was afraid you'd feel uncomfortable.

I didn't want you to worry,
so I didn't tell you.

So you decided

what to tell or not to tell.

You decided without even asking me.

I always trusted you.

But today, you made me feel

like you have a secret life
I don't know about.

I'm afraid there's more
that I don't know about.

Is there anything else
you haven't told me?

No. There's absolutely nothing else.

And I won't let it happen again.

I won't hide anything from you ever again.

I promise.

Yes, Maylin?

Are you free this evening?
Would you like to come over for dinner?

Oh? You wanted to talk to me
about something too?

Perfect, then. Let's meet this evening.

See you soon.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

What are you saying?

I'm talking to the mosquitoes, not you.

I warned you.
Don't bite me, or I'll swat you to death.

What sane person would talk to a mosquito?

You're getting crazier every day.

I'd better go grocery shopping.

Die! See? I told you not to bite me.

Guess I can only stand up to mosquitoes.

Eat up.

You too. You should eat plenty.

You've lost so much weight.
You know that, right?

You're no different, Neen.

You still love me, though?

Of course I do.

I love you more and more every day.

Yes, Mom?

What did you say?

You're not feeling well?

Sure. I'll be right over.

Okay.

- Neen--
- Get the check.

I'll come with you.

Runch is on her way. Please wait for her.

I don't think

I can stay for dinner today.

What? Why not?

Can I ask you something?

Is Runch married?

Yes.

Please let me explain.

Runch has been having problems
with her wife.

They're about to break up.

What? Why would you say that, honey?

I'm just telling the truth.
Why should I hide it?

I'm sorry I never told you about this.

I figured they'd get divorced soon anyway,

so I decided not to tell you about it.

Did I hear something about a divorce, Mom?

What are you doing here?

How could you ask that? How rude!

She's my close friend's daughter.

She came here because I invited her,

unlike you who's shameless enough
to come uninvited.

Judging from your foul mouth,
looks like you faked being sick.

You're so full of it.

You punk! Are you saying
I bullshitted Runch?

Good. So you're self-aware.
Now I won't have to say it.

Stop it, Neen.

Tell her to stop first, then I'll stop.

Maylin, I'm so sorry

for dragging you into this mess here.

I think I'd better go.

- Wait. You still haven't eaten.
- Next time, Aunt Ging.

See you later.

See you later.

Maylin…

You punk! You ruined everything!

You're one to talk.

What were you planning to do?
Why'd you invite her over?

And you even told her
we're getting divorced.

What are you doing?
Finding a side chick for your daughter?

What side chick?
Don't you dare insult Maylin like that!

I wasn't insulting her. It's the truth.

She's messing with a married woman.

What would she be
if not a side chick? A mistress?

You crazy b*tch!

Runch, let's go home. We need to talk.

Runch. Runch, don't go!

- Runch, wait.
- Honey.

Runch! Runch!

Honey…

I admit it's all my fault

for not telling you
Mom introduced me to Maylin.

So you do know it's your fault.

I already asked you

if you were hiding something from me.
And you said no.

You even promised me.

It's barely been a day, Runch.

I have no excuse.

But the reason I didn't tell you

is because I didn't want you to worry.

And I don't have feelings for her.

But she does.

She knows I'm married,
so she probably doesn't.

So what? Your mom takes her side,

so of course she'd want you.

My mom wouldn't do anything like that.

She'd do way worse.

Your mom told that girl

we're getting divorced, even when…

Well, we are getting divorced for real.

But your mom doesn't know that.

That means your mom lied to that girl

because she wanted her
to replace me as your wife so bad.

No one could ever replace you, Neen.

And I'll never love anyone else.

I only did what I did

because I was trying to protect you.

This isn't what lovers do
to protect each other.

So what should I do then?

What should I do for you to believe
that I really want to protect you?

I don't know.

I guess you'll have to prove it to me.

Let's sleep in separate rooms tonight.

Neen!

Here's your breakfast
with a crispy fried egg.

Maylin won't answer my calls.

She won't read any of my texts either.
She must be mad at me.

Did you hear what I said?

What, honey? I'm watching the news.

You never listen to me.

I was. I heard you. I'm not deaf.

I'm just tired of talking.
You wouldn't believe me anyway.

What is it? Go ahead and speak.

Why can't you stay out
of our daughter's life?

Take it easy for once.

Does Maylin know what you're trying to do?

You're asking that
because you want to stop me, right?

See? This is exactly why
I didn't want to talk!

Wait.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I bet you see it too.

Maylin is way sweeter and nicer
than our daughter-in-law.

Don't you want
a daughter-in-law like that?

Are you nuts?

Runch is married to Neen.

They have a marriage certificate too.
Why are you doing this?

Marriages can end in divorce.

Soon, they'll be fed up with this anyway.

So this is why you're always

messing with her.

I can't believe you're so competitive

you won't even care
about our daughter's feelings.

Divorcing that rich kid
can only be good for us.

Trust me, the moment Runch divorces her
and marries someone else,

she'll have a better life for sure.

Who will? Her or you?

Everything I do is for my daughter, Pong.

Can't you see how inferior
our daughter is to her wife?

I want people to admire Runch

for achieving success on her own,
not because of someone else.

If she can't handle the fact

or can't accept it,
she has to decide for herself.

Why are you deciding for her?

I don't want to see my daughter
being humbled.

Plus, I hate that brat.

I've always warned you, Ging.

Runch doesn't talk much.
She just tolerates everything.

But if one day she can't
take it anymore, I guarantee you

she'll run away so far

that you won't get to see her again.

No way.

I raised Runch. I know what she's like.

One day you'll regret
doing this to her family.

What are you looking at, honey?

It's this.

The photo of Neen and Runch. Look!

After their trip to the country house,
they've been together every day.

And they've been
posting pictures every day.

Seeing this makes me super happy.

Look.

Neen, why didn't you tell me you'd come?

You came alone? What about Runch?

- I don't know.
- What?

Why are you fighting this time?

Just now, Mom was so happy

to see you head over heels in love
with your wife.

Can you not mention it?
I'm so fed up with it.

Did you have a fight?

Then what do I do now?

What do you mean?

Did you really forget? Seriously?

Oh no!

I completely forgot.

What do we do now?

What's up, Neen?

I just came to tell you to meet me

in the fitting room tomorrow at 3 p.m.

because there'll be
an office party at night.

That's all.

Hang on.

Won't you sit down and talk first?

No, thanks.

I'm being this seductive,
yet she won't even budge?

SHOP, EAT, USE OUR SERVICES
YOU CAN EARN M POINTS

Hello, ma'am.

Hello.

- This one, please.
- Sure.

This way, please.

Can I earn M points here?

Yes, you can earn your M points.

May I have the phone number
registered to your M card?

Sure.

- Ms. Runchlaphat, correct?
- Yes.

Would you like to redeem your M points
for an extra 12.5% off on top of that?

You may do it here.

- Sure.
- Okay.

The original price was 5,600 baht.

After the discount,
your total comes to 4,900 baht.

That's quite a bargain.

It sure is. Would you like
to add anything else, ma'am?

No. I'm all set.

Okay. One moment, please.

How would you like to pay?

- QR code, please.
- QR? Okay.

You look good in everything, Ms. Runch.

Thank you.

Ms. Peeracha is done.

Neen, isn't this dress…

It's pretty, right?

It is, but…

it's backless.

It sure is. It's intentional.

You're the one who said
I'd look good in anything.

So this dress
should make me look good too.

I meant something more modest.

If you wear this to the party,
all eyes will be on you.

Oh? So you'd get jealous if people looked?

Neen, please don't play games with me.

Excuse me. I'd like to buy this dress.

Sure.

Neen.

Why aren't Neen and Runch here yet?

There they are.

Why are you so late, honey?

We were stuck in traffic, Mom.

Hey, Neen.

- Whoa.
- What?

Isn't the dress a little too pretty?

It's nothing unusual, Nai. It's fabulous.

Don't squeeze me so hard.

Oh, sorry. I was just…

Jealous?

Excuse me? Did you forget

it's not just the two of you?

Come on. Let's go
sit at our table, shall we?

Sure.

- Let's go.
- That way.

This way.

Isn't that dress a little too much?

My hip…

My hip!

Pong isn't home either.

What do I do?

MOM

She's probably sick again.

Why won't you pick up, Runch?

Neen, honey,

will you dance with me?

Are you still mad at me?

Yeah.

When will you forgive me?

I don't know.
I'll have to see how you behave.

Looks like you won't forgive me
so easily this time.

Every couple

is bound to have misunderstandings.

But what matters is

whether we still hold each other's hands.

I need to use the restroom.

I'll wait at the table.

MAYLINYA

Hello?

What?

Mom fell in the bathroom?

Mom, how are you doing?

Does it hurt a lot?

Of course it does.
It hurt so bad I couldn't get up.

I could've died in front of the bathroom.

You wouldn't pick up,
no matter how many times I called.

You were so busy at the party
that you ignored me.

Luckily, Maylin came and helped me.

Otherwise, I would've died.

It wasn't that bad a fall.
You couldn't have died.

Who's talking to you?
I'm talking to my daughter.

If my daughter-in-law was someone else,

my daughter would've picked up
and come straight home.

It's because of you
that Runch is rebelling against me.

- What? But--
- Neen!

Enough.

Mom.

With what happened today,

I'm very upset.

But what you just said
is totally unfair to Neen.

You have no right
to set me up with someone else.

You have no right to replace Neen
with someone else.

And you have no right
to make her feel less than.

So you'd speak up for her

rather than your mom?

Yes, Mom.

I married her.

She is my family.

You have to respect my decision.

Mom.

I won't let anyone
hurt my wife's feelings.

No one.

Not even you, Mom.

Let's go home.

Are you mad at the rain?

There goes my plan
for a romantic beach trip.

My first date with a gorgeous girl.

I'm mad at everything right now.

You're cute even when you're mad.

If the rain doesn't stop,

should we stay in our room
all day and all night?

What would we do

if we stayed here all day and all night?

Whatever shall we do…?

Hey.

I have an idea

of what we should do.

I guarantee you won't get bored.

What are you doing, Runch?

Runch! Don't do that.

We won't be able to stop.

Can we never stop, then?

I love you, Runch.

I love you too, Neen.

I want you to break up with that brat.

If I had known

that you'd be like this
after marrying her,

I would've done everything to stop you!

I love Neen. We love each other.

But I hate her!

I hope this was the last time.

I really want us to be happy together.

I want us to be happy together too.
