[bunniefuu]

[Previously] You're new here, at least you
should learn how things are done around here.

Since when do you have to be a gangster
just to sit in class?

A new bidder competed against us
and they got the contract.

Who's that?

It's Monchaitrakul.

Why are you talking to me?
What do you want?

I saw you working alone,
so I came over to keep you company.

I don't want your company.

Can I ask you something?
Can we be friends now?

Actually, you don't have
to give me your shirt.

How can you wear it
when it's covered in my puke?

[Sinittha Kongpurim]

Anyone who has anything to do
with the Monchaitrakul family

- is not allowed to set foot in Kongpurim house.
- [Monchaitrakul]

Hey.

What's with the rush?

We haven't hugged today.

I'm a little tired.

See you in the morning.

Tokyo,

we need to talk.

"Juliet & Juliet"
[Episode 2]

Have a seat.

What's the matter?

Remember the daughter of that chicken
rice vendor at the end of the market?

I went on a date with her the other day.

I booked a whole pool villa
and paid for her and all her friends.

Now she won't reply to my texts
or answer my calls.

She might've even blocked my number.

It seriously feels like she ghosted me.

Or was she just freeloading off me?

No wonder she ghosted you.

Just look at you. You're so cringe.

Me? I'm cringe?

Is that all you want to tell me?

Hey, not so fast.

I spilled my secret,

now it's your turn.

You have to spill yours.

That's our rule, remember?

Secret for secret.

There's nothing to tell.

Come on, something's clearly wrong.

I saw you having a serious talk with Dad.

Has someone been picking on you at school?

No.

Are you sure?

Or have you been doing something
behind Dad's back again?

Actually…

I may have snuck into
a bar using your name.

I knew it!

And I almost got busted by the cops.

That's it? Why are you so stressed?

Next time, just tell me.

It'll be our little
secret. I won't tell Dad.

I feel better now.

[Phakjira Monchaitrakul]

Are you coming to bed yet?
The teacher is about to lock the doors.

[Sinittha Kongpurim]

Yi.

- Can I ask you something?
- Yeah.

What did you mean when you said
our family's old enemy had returned?

We're just stepping on each other's toes
in business, nothing serious.

Oh, yeah?

Those Monchaitrakuls
are nothing but merchants

who exploit ordinary people.

But when they realized
they couldn't beat our family,

they all ran back to the provinces
with their tails between their legs.

Is that it?

"Tails between their legs"?
Are you just making things up now?

You're still a kid, so stay out of it.

As long as we're around,
you don't need to worry about any of this.

Push harder.

Why can't I know?

I'm a Kongpurim too, aren't I?

[We're Hiring! Many Openings Available.]

[Join Monchai Construction]

[6-Month Bonus Guaranteed]

Whoa!

Your boyfriend is coming all the way here?

My ex.

Ex-boyfriend or not, who cares?
He had the nerve to show up here.

Go take care of it.
I'll be waiting in the cafeteria.

Tong, what are you doing here?

I just want to give you this.

You don't have to give it back.
You can just throw it away.

It probably doesn't work anymore.

You blocked me on everything.

I just wanted to make sure
you were doing okay at your new school.

Is it as good there as
when you were with me?

Whether it's good or not
is none of your business.

You should go.

Thanks

for giving it back to me.

Of course I had to return it.

It was a gift from your dad, wasn't it?

Here's your shirt back,

freshly washed and softened.

Here is the sweet filling, like I promised.

Thanks.

Hey,

have you done your homework?

Do you want to copy mine?

- Sure.
- Here.

Do you want to have breakfast together?

You'd better hurry, or
Paew will eat you alive.

I'm talking to you. Are you even listening?

I saw you hanging around
in the library for ages yesterday.

I thought you two had made up.

You had a fight with your new friend?

I don't even know if
I can call her a friend.

They are definitely in cahoots.

We can't let them
disrespect us like this, Dad.

Why don't I take some men and deal
with them once and for all?

Our best move is to strike
before they have a chance to prepare.

Why get your own hands dirty
when there's an easier way?

Have you heard? The
company building the new port

is going to lay off all
the existing workers.

Ing's husband will be
laid off, too. Do you know?

If Mr. Po's broke, who are we going to
borrow the money from?

I hate Monchaitrakul.
They started all of this.

Should I start?

Go ahead. What are you waiting for?

Hello, my fellow students.

I'm Phakjira Monchaitrakul.

- Today...
- Are you from Monchaitrakul family?

What the hell is wrong with them?

You didn't know?

Look, Monchaitrakul won
the bid for the port project.

[Monchaitrakul Wins Project Contract]

How the hell did that happen?

Dad never said a word.

Isn't your family the
one that's still here?

They didn't know about this.

No one in my branch of the family
uses that surname anymore.

I switched to my mother's surname
years ago, after my father died.

Yours is the only family still using
the Monchaitrakul name.

How are things with your classmates?

Tokyo's in your class too, isn't she?

That's why she completely ignored me.

I think it was because of this.

You're acting weird.

Even when Tong didn't
talk to you for a whole week,

you weren't this upset.

Tokyo's just a new friend, so why are
you making such a big deal out of it?

Honestly, I thought you and
Tokyo didn't even get along.

I don't know.

We're not that close.

I don't care about her.

Well, what a surprise!
My daughter finally texted me back.

What's this about the port concession here?

[f*ck MONCHAITRAKUL]

Lovely artwork on the new desk,
don't you think?

[UGLY AND STUPID]

Tokyo,

I got you.

Hey! What the f*ck are you doing?

So, who do you think's gonna win...

the Monchaitrakuls or the Kongpurims?

We'll find out who wins soon enough.

Let's keep it between us at school. Forget
the Monchaitrakuls and the Kongpurims.

Where's my PE shirt?

Whoa! This is harsh.

Damn, these guys don't mess around.

I'm done taking this
sh*t. Tell me who did it

so I know who to go after.

You're still trying to act tough, huh?

You're all alone.

- How are you supposed to take them on?
- You're not helping me?

Count me out. I need to graduate.

I don't want to spend a
third year in 12th grade.

You should stay out of trouble too,
especially if you want that university quota.

Just wear your regular school uniform
for now. The teacher won't mind.

Wow. She's got quite an attitude.

You did it, didn't you?

Gather around.

Class 6/3, line up on this side.

Class 6/8, form a separate line.

Come on, hurry up.

Phakjira? What?

What's got into you?

Can't you just behave like
the rest of your classmates?

You're always causing trouble.

Then could you ask the
others to behave normally too?

If anyone has an issue,
we should talk about it face-to-face.

Don't start.

Is your whole family
determined to cause trouble?

I see.

You're one of them, too, right?

If you don't stop, I'll deduct points
from your conduct score.

Anyone got a problem with Blue?

Come on, let's split into two teams.

Mix the two classes.

Don't pair up with your
own classmates again.

Here.

Here.

That other vendor's snack wasn't very good.

This one's much better.

Yeah.

I thought you'd never talk to me again.

Thanks for sticking up for me in gym class.

Sure.

Honestly, I'm not quite sure
how to act around you either.

Do the Kongpurims

really hate the Monchaitrakuls that much?

Yeah.

Honestly,

we shouldn't even be friends.

Hey.

What did you draw? Let me see.

It's pretty.

I want one, too.

I should get going.

Okay.

I gotta go, see you tomorrow.

[Everyone sh1tting on the Monchaitrakuls]

People around here really
seem to love the Kongpurims.

How have you managed
to live here all this time?

My mom's family keeps to themselves.

You, on the other hand,

just got here and you're already
causing trouble with everyone.

Which side are you on, exactly?

The winning side, of course.

I only came because Mom asked me to.

I don't get why Dad had to stir up trouble
on someone else's turf.

Come on. Just think of it
as checking up on the family business.

That's what rich kids do.

Get out! Get out! Get out!

Get out! Get out! Get out!

What is it?

Get out! Get out!

Sir, you can park over there.

- Get out! Get out! Get out!
- [We want jobs!]

[Monchai Construction—greedy,
heartless bloodsuckers!]

- Get out! Get out! Get out!
- [Bad people! Selfish!]

Get out! Get out! Get out!

Get out!

Phu.

Everyone, please calm down.

Here's what I'll do:

I'll pay everyone their
final month's salary,

plus three months' severance pay.

We don't want it. We want our jobs!

We appreciate the money,
but we'd rather keep our jobs.

Exactly! We want to keep our jobs!

We want to keep our jobs!

We want to keep our jobs!

We want to keep our jobs!

Please calm down.

All the workers are being laid off

because the government's
contract with the Kongpurims

has expired.

Monchai Construction

will soon begin recruiting a new workforce,

and every qualified
applicant will be considered.

We have only one disqualifying condition:

anyone affiliated with the Kongpurims

will not be hired.

We can't apply then.

How do you know?

How's your new school?

Have you settled in yet?

And…

How's the dorm?

You don't have to act interested now, Dad.

You never asked me about anything before.

I want to know why you didn't tell me
you were moving here for the port project.

Well…

It's grown-up business.

Dad, our business was
doing just fine where we were.

We didn't have any problems, did we?

So why did you have to come here
and pick a fight with the local mafia?

You haven't been hanging around
with that Kongpurim kid, have you?

She doesn't even have a friend, Uncle.

She's hanging out with me all the time.

We're not close. We're
just in the same class.

Dad, should we have her
transferred to a different class?

Are you insane?

Why does she have to move?

You're right.

Then why don't we get the principal to
expel that brat instead?

Come on! Are you stupid or what?

Why don't we get our little sister
to befriend their daughter

and keep her close?

That'll make things easier for us.

I just don't want our little sister
getting mixed up with the Monchaitrakuls.

- But if it's the only way...
- Hey.

What the hell are you guys planning?

Maybe you should ask what
your little sister wants first.

What do you think, honey?

What do you think of
the Monchaitrakul girl?

[Singing off-key.]

What is going on with you?

You've looked miserable for days.

Yeah, what's wrong?

Are we going to the dorm movie night?

Tell me now so I can book the tickets.

Let's go. I want to go.

But don't get seats too close
to the screen. It'll hurt my neck.

Can you two not talk
about movie night right now?

I'm seriously stressed.

What do you have to be stressed about?

You've got money, you're good-looking,

and your family supports you.

I'm stressed because there's
something I want to do,

but I know my family would never approve.

I don't know what to do.

Well,

then don't do it.

You'll always put your
family first anyway, right?

Just do whatever your dad
and older brother tell you. Problem solved.

She's stressed because she doesn't
want to do what her family expects.

If she keeps giving in to them, she'll
feel like this for the rest of her life.

Then just…

do it without letting them find out.
It's that simple.

Why are you encouraging her to do that?

If she gets in trouble with her family,
are you going to help her?

Oh, do you have a better idea than this?

I don't.

See?

[You kept me waiting forever.
I missed you, you know.]

[I missed you too, so I
came rushing back to you.]

[Then let's get some
food ready and celebrate.]

Blue, you're just lonely.

Do we really need to make
such a big deal out of this?

It's only movie night.

Damn right I'm serious.

We dorm kids only get
to go out on weekends.

Stop sitting around and
help me pick out an outfit.

- Ugh!
- You think it's cute?

Which one do you
think? I think it's this one.

- Yeah.
- Right? I think so.

The color suits me better.

Phakjira,

you can't join the movie night tonight.

You will be in detention.

Your PE teacher told me

you're still on probation
for what you did in class.

What do you mean?
She said she'd let it slide.

If she has to serve detention,
can it at least be on another day?

Phakjira, you are forbidden
from attending movie night tonight.

As punishment for wearing
inappropriate attire in PE class,

you will be confined to the dorm.

You must also write a reflection essay
and submit it to me tomorrow morning.

No arguments.

I like the lights.

Tokyo.

More people showed up than I thought.

How long have you been here?

For a while now.

Blue can't join us.
Our PE teacher wouldn't let it slide,

so she's in detention.

Wait, are you serious?

I'm dead serious.

I feel bad for her though.

She's all alone in the detention room.

Forget it. Let's head over there instead.

Is this good?

Tokyo?

Yeah?

Where are you going?

I need to use the bathroom.
I'll be right back.

I'll catch up with you later.

[STAFF ONLY. NO UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY]

How did you get here?

I climbed the ladder.

What?

I need to talk to you.

Right now?

We'll see each other tomorrow.

No!

I need to talk to you now.

Okay, hurry up and say it.

This is very dangerous for both of us.

Okay.

I…

I…

I think…

I think I li...

What?

Why don't you tell me tomorrow? Okay?

I…

I think I like you, Blue.

Yeah.

I'm not sure

what to call this feeling.

I don't know if it's a crush.

All I know is that

whenever I'm with you,

my heart never stops racing.

And I never want our time together

to end.

So… I think I've fallen for you, Blue.

But…

if you don't feel the same way,

that's okay.

I just felt like...

I…

needed…

to be honest with you about my feelings.

Well,

I should go.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

I'm a Kongpurim.

There's no way I'd get
involved with a Monchaitrakul.

No!

I'm friends with a Kongpurim. So what, Dad?

Blue!

You said it was grown-up
business, didn't you?

So whatever feud exists
between our families

has nothing to do with a kid like me.

[Next Episode]
If our families find out about us,

there'll definitely be a civil w*r.

Let's just keep it between us.

Are you dating someone?

Do you really think two people
from rival mafia families in this province

could ever make a relationship work?

You think it's gonna last?

All our distributors have pulled out of
their transportation deals with us.

You can't let them
disrespect us like this, Dad.

Why don't you meet up with their daughter?
