01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

You need to be next to me and
tell me who is walking towards me.

I admire you, Veekit.

Where have you been?

You said you would be
next to me all the time.

What happened makes me see your inadequacy

when working with an important
partner of your company.

All you can do is
memorize what you are told?

There is no tomorrow for her.

Neeraaumpan, what the hell are you doing?

Mirin!

Who did you call Mirin?

Do you want this?

It'll cheer you up.

Mirin.

No, baby, what are you
doing bothering this lady?

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Are you alright, miss?

Miss?

Are you alright?

Did you come here with someone?

Do you remember anything?

EVERYBODY HIDES THEIR OWN SECRETS.

Mirin?

Why did Non call you Mirin?

It's my nickname.

Mirin is my nickname.

Mirin?

That doesn't make any sense.

Sorry?

Shouldn't it be something like Nee?

Or Aumpan?

Your full name is Neeraaumpan, isn't it?

Why Mirin?

Strange.

Sure, I guess.

Even your nickname is a mistake.

What exactly are you
going to do with Mirin?

Why'd you ask?

If you're going to fire her, I'll hire her.

And after that, you
find your own secretary.

I'm not looking for one for you again.

What?

What are you so mad at me about?

Is it because I'm going to fire... Mirin?

You're acting like we're not even cousins.

Don't you dare use that ruse.

I won't let you take my secretary.

I'm the only one who gets
to say if she stays or leaves.

Stop being such a spoiled brat.

The world doesn't revolve around you.

The world that is Next Innovation does.

Veekit.

Excuse me!

Excuse me, both of you.

I think...

Why don't you two work it
out between yourselves first?

I...

I'd feel much better if
you're fighting over my skills,

not arguing just to win
over the other like this.

So I must ask that you
both reconsider this.

If my mistake was unforgivable,

I'll understand if you let me go.

If I'm not all that crucial to you,

you don't have to help me.

How long are you planning
to act like a problem child?

Mirin.

I'll give you a ride.

It's alright.

Please just sort this out.

It's difficult to find a ride at this hour.

Come on.

Think of it as an apology for earlier.

But I truly wasn't offended.

Mirin.

It's late.

And look at what you're wearing.

Come on. Get in the car.

Alright.

Thank you.

Let's go.

It's right over there.

Thank you.

Uh, I'm sorry.

Veekit and I didn't mean to
make you feel uncomfortable.

I dragged you into this
because fighting over you might...

have less impact than what he
and I actually want to fight about.

Do you guys fight a lot?

Is it always serious?

We're two guys equally full of egos.

I'm older.

I'm taking care of the most
important department of this company.

But the boss just happens to be my
younger cousin who thinks he's the Sun.

Well, we're just idiots.

You know, I feel like Mr. Veekit
actually revolves around you.

He asks for you first thing in the morning,

then again at lunch,

even calls for you before he goes home.

Whatever decision he's making,

he waits for you to approve.

For real?

Yeah.

You should go home and
take a rest, Mr. Chanon.

If Mr. Veekit really is going to fire me,

you don't have to worry about me.

I'll just go on taking care of myself.

I've already learned a lot from
what you've been teaching me.

Veekit isn't stupid.

Once that pole-head comes
to his senses, he'll see.

He needs you.

Your greatest strength is the
fact that you are so likeable.

You're amazing.

Thank you again.

What are you so mad at me about?

Is it because I'm going to fire... Mirin?

He just doesn't want his
big brother to hate him, huh?

What are you doing here?

Just go home and rest.

But it bothers me.

Are you really mad at me because of Mirin?

You came all the way to
my house just to ask me this?

Yeah.

What she said at the party could ruin us.

Methawee might not want to invest with us,

or it could turn the
whole deal unfair for us.

Mirin really made a mistake this time.

You made bigger mistakes in the past.

Had I not slapped you into shape
and only threatened to fire you,

you'd have been nowhere.

How does that even compare?

I'm the owner of the company.

She's just a regular employee.

So what if you own the company?

I'm just an employee, too, aren't I?

If I make a silly blunder one
day, are you going to fire me, too?

What?

We're talking about a
new employee named Mirin.

Not you.

At least she's the new employee who
can make you the damn hot chocolate

that sates the crave your mother left.

Hey!

What does my mother have to do with this?

Why did you bring up my mother!

What is all this ruckus?

What need do you have to be
yelling at my son at this hour?

It's very late, Veekit.

Will you just please let my son rest?

You go to bed, Mom.

Vee is already leaving.

I'm sorry.

I only need five more minutes.

Since you can't see my face,

I guess you can't fathom
just how serious I am.

But I am currently
incredibly unhappy with you.

You think you're so important that
everyone has to pause and listen to you

even when it's very late.

I believe manners are something
basic enough that you should know,

even without a mother to teach you.

Mom.

Vee, we will talk tomorrow.

Go to bed, Mom.

It's late.

Yes?

I thought you went to bed.

I heard Veekit's new secretary
messed up at the party.

She did.

And this is someone you found for him?

Yes.

But... she didn't mean to.

She just doesn't know what's what yet.

She's actually great.

You don't have to train her anymore.

Just leave her be.

The more mistakes Veekit makes,

the more you stand out.

I told Tanya that if she
really wants to invest,

she should wait until you
have your own company.

Mom...

Listen.

Tanya's family is very influential.

They have connections and money.

Don't let them invest with Veekit.

You have to talk your
friend into investing with us.

Understood?

I think you'll finally get a
chance to do your own thing soon.

Good job, baby.

Go to sleep. It's late.

Oh, right...

If you think that secretary is promising,

just keep her for ourselves.

What do you mean?

If we have someone of
our own stay close to Veekit,

we could learn something
much more easily, isn't that right?

Goodnight, baby.

You nemesis!

Veekit!

What?!

Oh, you've done it, Mirin!

What should I do?

What should I do? What should I do?

If I don't do something,
he's totally firing me.

A cake as my sincerest apology.

Neeraaumpan.

Oh, Aew-eas. Hello.

Are you alright?

I heard about what happened last night.

It must have been difficult for you.

It was.

And he heard me calling him names
at the top of my lungs like that, too.

That's why I baked some
cake for him as an apology.

Do you think it'll work?

Veekit isn't here yet, though.

Oh?

Isn't he?

Maybe he's late?

I don't think so.

If he was coming, he would
have been here by now.

My guess is... it's his Skip Day.

His what day?

Everyone around here calls it his Skip Day.

It's when he skips work
to go nobody knows where.

And he doesn't care if
there's a meeting or whatever.

He just goes.

You can't contact him via text or call.

It's like he's disappeared
from the face of the earth

and then comes back the
next day like nothing happens.

"I'm back, guys!" or something like that.

Oh.

Well, I guess my cake is
just going to waste, then.

Keep it. Maybe he'll come.

So far, that never happened, though.

Bye.

Are you waiting for Veekit?

He probably won't be here.

Last night was a bit rough for him.

And are you alright, Mr. Chanon?

Me?

I'm fine.

I came to work, didn't I?

You're right.

He's the worst.

I haven't had anything to eat all morning.

Wait a minute.

Here.

Please have your fill.

I'll eat, too.

Thank you.

It's really good.

I'm sure the person who made this
is both very talented and beautiful.

Try it, Mr. Chanon.

No other compliments but
"It's good!" allowed, though.

Alright, then.

It's really good!

It is, isn't it?

It's amazing!

Even you don't know where Mr. Veekit is?

You're right.

I tried to look for him at first.

I went everywhere I thought he might be at.

Restaurants, bars,

theaters, hotels, rooftops.

Even riversides.

I went everywhere.

But I couldn't figure it out to
save my life where he could be.

Oh?

It must be that place.

I can think of somewhere.

But it's just my hypothesis, though.

I'll let you know as
soon as it's been proven.

I have to go.

Here. It's all yours.

Goodbye!

Sure.

[Dear Mr. Veekit, enjoy the cake.]

What are you doing here, Mr. Non?

Nothing.

I was just passing by.

What do you need?

Isn't that Neeraaumpan's cake?

She said she was
going to give it to Veekit.

Why are you...

It's for you now.

Take it.

I'm alright.

I've got this.

Would you like some?

I'm alright.

He doesn't like this?

But it's so good.

Are you even here?

Mr. Vee.

Mr. Vee.

What?

You-

How do you know I'm here?

Did you...

Did you bug me?

Don't be ridiculous, sir.

One more time, please.

I'll pay you triple.

Go away.

It's a private ride.

Go.

Isn't it lonely playing alone?

What?

Listen.

There's literally only a 0.001%
chance that anybody knows I'm here.

How did you know?

I just guessed from what
little 0.001% have to offer.

That's impossible.

It is possible, and it's already happened.

But if you need a reason
that makes sense to you.

I'll say...

I followed the trail of the Milky Way,

and saw that the entire universe
revolves around something in this place.

So I thought it could be you.

Your theory is incorrect.

But I forgive you.

You won't fire me?

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Vee.

I'll do my best.

No more mistakes!

Stop it.

You're loud, you dork.

Are you trying to deafen me?

Is this where you always
are on your Skip Days?

Yeah.

Why here?

Nosy.

But I'm curious.

I'm your secretary.

It's important that I know.

When did I say you're my secretary?

What? Did you change your mind?

Just now you-

That was you assuming all by
yourself that I wouldn't fire you.

The last time I saw my mother

was from over there on the merry-go-round.

I asked her if I could go play,

asked her to wait for a minute.

It was only a few rides.

Took no time at all.

Still, she didn't wait.

What would you do if you
saw your mother again?

I'd put her on the merry-go-round.

Let her ride a few times.

This time, I'll be the one who walks away.

Mr. Vee!

What? You startled me.

I will work really hard from now on.

No matter what you want
or need, you can just tell me.

I'll be by your side.

Whichever way you turn,

you'll find me there.

I haven't decided if I still want you.

Well...

When can you decide?

Then stop just memorizing things,

and stay on top of the
game with your hot chocolate.

Okay?

Yay!

Thank you, Mr. Veekit!

I'll do my best.

I'll be very thorough
and totally efficient.

And I won't... I won't ever
make any more mistakes.

Mr. Vee.

I'll try my best to work really hard!

Thank you!

Oh, hey.

This place, and what I
told you, keep them secrets.

I don't know why I told
you, but since I already did...

You gotta keep them secrets. Top secrets.

If one person finds out
about this, you're fired.

You're fired 100 times over.

I understand.

I totally understand.

I won't tell anyone.

Good job.

Promise?

Promise.

Did my close-up beauty blow you away?

Wow, give it a rest, sir.

You're not exactly Gong Yoo, you know?

Oh, hey.

Just now when you
pledged your loyalty to me,

you said you'd work hard
and help me with everything.

Did you mean it?

Of course.

I am Mirin, a woman of her word.

You sure?

Yes.

Good.

We'll see, then.

Are you looking at me?

I hardly ever see you smile, sir.

Was I smiling?

Oh, it must have been because of the tea.

Alright.

Here.

For you.

Thank you.

Mr. Vee, can't you shorten
your strides just a little bit?

It's not my fault your legs are short.

Mr. Vee.

Listen.

If you want to stay with me, then
there are things you need to readjust.

Your short legs, for one,
need to learn to keep up.

One more important thing,

get used to my gorgeous mug
before your cheeks burn any redder.

Let's get going.

Yes, sir.

I'm not feeling anything.

Not at all.

What are you complaining about?

Nothing.

Hey.

I know I'm very handsome.

That's not something I can control.

So it's you who needs to get used to it.

You hear me?

Yes.

Loud and clear, Mr. Handsome.

You know, I think-

Who the hell just falls asleep
right after talking like that?

Thank you.

Goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

But tomorrow's Saturday.

It is.

But you pledged your loyalty,
so you're coming with me.

'Kay?

But you have an appointment
with Tanya tomorrow?

Exactly.

Meet me at the restaurant.

Dress up and don't smell like traffic.

Bye.

Hey.

I bet it's too late for you to grow a
few more inches at this age, huh?

The height of your shoulders are subpar.

My neck hurts.

That's coming off of
your salary, by the way.

Let's go.

You... You...

What a pain in the butt!

You pole-head jerk!

You... You radio pole of a person!

If you're so tall, why don't
you try touching the damn sky!

Today was supposed to
be a private date, Veekit.

Oh, that's right.

But my secretary
promised to work really hard.

So I had to take her with me.

This is urgent. Excuse me.

Yes?

You being here on your
boss's date is rather like

when a dog knows its owner
is getting a new girlfriend.

Don't you think?

I think it was possible for you to say
something like, "No, I won't go, sir" to him.

But instead you used beautiful
excuses like "I'll work hard" to be here?

Now it looks like I'm the bad
guy who has to bring this up.

You're right.

I could have stayed home
and avoided displeasing you.

But I'm working for Mr. Veekit,

so it is his displeasure
that I'm choosing to avoid.

Are you saying coming to
see me is a displeasure to him?

That is something I believe isn't beyond
your well-educated comprehension.

Neeraaumpan.

Yes, Miss Tanya?

I expected more obedience
from an employee like you.

Well, who expected discrimination,
small-mindedness, and cruelty from you

for you to say such things to me?

I'm just testing the waters to see if

you'd bite back if I chose to be cruel.

And you sure would, huh?

You know why?

Because it's supposed to be a
date between me and the guy I like.

I expected to have a good time with him.

But you chose to show up uninvited.

That's already stupid enough.

But arguing with me like this

is an even more stupid thing to do.

You know, one word from me

and I can have anyone
at Next Innovation fire you.

Miss Tanya.

If you still think you can talk back,

think again.

You're just an employee.

Alright. That's enough.

You've done your damage.

You can love my boss all you want,

but I still have a job to do.

So don't give me trouble for
doing my job like this, it isn't cool.

You want me fired? Just do it.

If you can, that is.

But I doubt anyone else feels as entitled

and privilege-crazed as you to play along.

What were you talking about?

We weren't talking.

I was just teaching your
employee about impropriety.

But she argued and challenged me.

What a mannerless oaf.

I find she barely talks
back unless provoked.

Veekit.

You're embarrassing me, you know that?

It's our date.

But you came here with your secretary,

and now you protect her on top of that?

I'm not okay with this.

Well, then you have my apology.

But catering to what you like
or don't like is not something...

I'm interested in doing.

Excuse me.

Veekit.

Just fire me if you want.

I'm fine with that.

What made you think I'd do that?

You-

I have my principles.

I nitpick and scold you

because I know what you
have and what you lack.

When people insult or look down on you,

it's because they don't know you.

You have to get better and be
great so other people respect you.

What I'm trying to say is

I don't want people to look down on you.

You're...

Cool, aren't I?

Sorry?

Wait.

I just remembered something.

Aew-eas said you made
a cake for me yesterday.

Oh.

Yes, I did.

It was supposed to be an apology.

But you weren't there,
so Mr. Chanon and I ate it.

What?

You gave my apology cake to someone else?

But...

You can't just give away what's mine.

Be it drinks, pastries, or
whatever you make for me.

If I weren't there,

you were supposed to let them
rot right where you put them.

Mr. Vee, calm down.

It was just a cake.

I can make you another in an hour.

Alright.

That's what we're going to do.

What? Do what?

Bake me that damn cake.

Now!

What?

Now?

What's with you?

Short-term memory loss?

Right-Now!

Hi.

Your date fell through?

Of course it did.

Your little cousin brought his secretary.

Mirin?

Who's Mirin?

It was Neearaaumpan.

That's her.

Mirin's her nickname.

But what's she still doing here?

I heard she made some huge mistake.

Why is she still hired?

She's actually an amazing person.

She's ambitious and a fast learner.

I still don't get it.

She's nothing better than the rest.

That's who Veekit's been looking for?

After all the years of looking,
he settled for this dork?

He took her side so much
that he even embarrassed me.

Don't tell me the great
Tanya is scared of that "dork"?

Non, shut up.

I'll have you know I'm very
unhappy with what you said.

I'm not scared.

I'm just surprised.

You didn't see them when they were alone.

They have this chemistry.

I've never seen Veekit
like that with anyone.

Don't you get it?

Hey, be quiet.

My mother and grandmother are sleeping.

Hey, turn the lights on.

Hey!

I said be quiet!

Mirin!

You... You!

You dare sneak a man into my home?

What? What's going on?

Who are you-

Look. Look.

Look.

Mirin, what's going on?

It's not what you think, Mom.

Listen to m-

I will not!

Mom!

Mom, Mom!

Mom, stop!

Grandma, please!

Mom, stop it!

Mom!

- Grandma!
- Please, listen to me!

Mom, just listen to them first.

I didn't do anything!

I would never do it
with your granddaughter.

What?

You wouldn't?

Not with your granddaughter.

What's wrong with her?

My granddaughter is
beautiful, smart, and talented.

- You... You mouthy brat.
- Mom.

God willing, I have to slap
some manners into him!

Mom!

Oh, dear!

Mom!

Stop it.

Let me just!

Stop!

Grandma.

Listen to me.

He's my boss.

Hmm?

He's your what?

My boss.

I'm just here for some cakes, ma'am.

What is his name?

Mr. Veekit Kraipiwat.

The CEO of Next Innovation.

Hello.

Hi.

Hello, ma'am.

Directed by Ekkasit
Trakulkasemsuk and Pantip Vibultham

Is this the church you mentioned?

Yes.

Are you really going to stay here when-

I am.

I will stay here.

Can you and your daughter

please keep this a secret for me?

Come on.

Help me make that cake.

You're supposed to make it for me.

I'm baking something for someone else, too.

I need your help.

There's no way you can right this wrong.

If he finds out one day,

you're not the only
one who'll be in trouble.

Your name is Neeraaumpan?

Who gave you that name?

If she really is gone, Veekit
will have no one but me.

I want to be completely sure
that Veekit really has no one left.

We're looking for Big Noi,
the king among investors.

Sir!

Are you the big brother Chanon
who loves his baby cousin very much,

or the Chanon who just
wants the best for himself?

I have to find Big Noi.
