🌸 NEXT DAY – THE ROYAL RECEPTION NIGHT 🌸

Location: A grand outdoor venue by the lakeside, lit up with golden lights and white flowers. A dreamy fusion of traditional Thai elegance and modern glam.

Today was the wedding celebration of Thanwan family’s eldest son — Pond.Everything felt utterly royal — like a fantasy come to life.As if the moon had stepped down to the earth.A lakeside stage, a walkway covered with white petals, golden lanterns floating in the sky...

🌟 ENTRY – THE GROOMS

On one side, Pond stood tall in a sleek black suit —His expression was neutral, but his eyes carried exhaustion.He was surrounded by gorgeous people, sparkling lights, champagne flutes —But inside... there was emptiness.

In the center of the stage, the father stood proudly.Then suddenly, the spotlight shifts...

Phuwin enters.Wearing a white Thai designer outfit, holding his father Mr. Pat’s hand.An angel.Literally, a slice of moon — people actually froze to look at him.

Pond’s heart skipped a beat.There was shyness in Phuwin’s eyes, innocence... and a hidden hope.

They both come and stand beside the father.Everyone is watching — family, press, dignitaries — applause and murmurs fill the air.

💬 THE VOW MOMENT

Father:“Pond, do you accept Phuwin as your husband?”

Pond’s face is blank...1 second... 2 seconds...Then, calmly:“Yes. I do.”

Father:“Phuwin, do you accept Pond as your husband?”

Phuwin blushes a little, but his eyes are crystal clear:“Yes. I do.”

Father:“Then please seal this marriage with a kiss on the lips.”

⚡Silence.

Pond slowly turns toward Phuwin...Phuwin’s breath quickens, he slightly steps back — but doesn’t move away.His cheeks turn red — pure innocence, pure nervousness.Pond gently holds his face...Moves in closer to his forehead...

Everyone holds their breath...

And then — Pond kisses Phuwin softly on the forehead.In that moment, not love... but respect.

Father (smiling): “Hmm... That works too.”THE ENTIRE CROWD CLAPS.A wave of applause, camera flashes, and cheers light up the reception stage.

---

Then Mrs. Amara brings Pond and Phuwin to a luxurious white sofa at the side of the stage.Everyone comes to greet them — Fourth, Gemini, Win, Bright, Mr. Pat, Mrs. Amara, everyone.

Fourth takes cute photos with his baby-energy smile.Gemini sits in a corner silently, unreadable expression, just watching everything.Bright, drink in hand, looks at Pond — eyes filled with something deeper, hidden emotions.

Mrs. Rasee...No smile, no blessings...Only jealousy and silent hatred.

Mr. Virat stands with a faint smile.

Win, excited, walks toward Pond and Phuwin…Suddenly bumps into someone.

A strong arm wraps around his waist and stops him from falling.Win is shocked. Their eyes meet...

Boom — Bright.

An awkward pause.Win quickly steps back:“I’m so sorry, please...”

Bright, softly:“It’s okay.”

Win walks away, flustered and confused.Bright just watches him walk away… and smiles, just a little.

🌃 LATE NIGHT

The magic of the night starts to fade.All the guests have had dinner and started leaving.The golden garden lamps now glow dimly, and a gentle cold breeze whispers the arrival of night.

Outside the mansion, a royal black car stands ready.But inside... time stands still.

---

🌸 THE LAST GOODBYES

Everyone important stands at the front porch:

Pond — calm, cold, hands in pockets.Phuwin — slightly trembling, tears in his eyes.Mr. Sorachai & Mrs. Amara — proud and smiling.Mr. Pat — oceans in his eyes.Mrs. Rasee — cold and quiet.Mr. Virat — serious.Bright, Gemini, Fourth, Win — all silent, feeling it all.

Mr. Sorachai steps forward, places a hand on Mr. Pat’s shoulder:“Pat, my friend… from today, Phuwin is our responsibility. We’ll take him home now.”

Mr. Pat only manages to say “Hmm.”Then he hugs Phuwin —A tight, emotional embrace.Like a father clutching a part of his soul...

And Phuwin — breaks down.

He’s crying.His soul is shaking.“Papa... I... I’ll miss you…”

Even Mr. Pat tears up.Silent sobs.“Take care of yourself…”

Mrs. Amara wipes her eyes.Fourth lowers his head, Gemini shows nothing — but the glassy shine in his eyes says it all.

Mr. Sorachai (lightly):“Okay okay, Pat, it’s not like he’s going to another country…He’s right here, with us.If you cry so much, Phuwin’s heart will break too.”

Phuwin slowly pulls away from the hug...His face red, tears flowing.Win comes to him — his best friend, his soul.

Win (placing a hand on his shoulder):“That’s it, okay? No more crying...Or I’ll cry too.”

Phuwin just nods — but his tears haven’t stopped.

🚘 CAR ARRIVES

A sleek black luxury car pulls up.The driver gets out and opens the gate.

Pond walks straight to the back seat —No words, no backward glance.Same cold, calm expression.But in his eyes… maybe just a flicker of something else.

Phuwin is gently led to the car.He sits beside Pond.

The door shuts.

The car slowly pulls away down the driveway.Everyone watches in silence.Phuwin looks out the window —Mr. Pat’s tears leave invisible scars on his heart.

And in front —He glances at Pond.Pond’s face is blank, but for one second, their eyes meet…

Pond says nothing.

---

Meanwhile —Thanwan family returns to their mansion, wrapped in royal grace.

On the other side, Mr. Pat and Win head home.

Bright drives off solo, chilling in his car.

Cut to — inside the car with Pond and Phuwin.

Phuwin’s lashes are still wet with tears.He slowly wipes them with a soft tissue.Pond sits beside him — silent, emotionless, unreadable.

Soon they all reach the mansion.

Pond gets out of the car and opens the door for Phuwin — no drama, just cold-boy energy.

Another car arrives beside them.

Mrs. Amara comes and lovingly helps Phuwin out of the car.Then the entire family walks inside.

They reach Pond’s room — a big, classy, decorated space.Mrs. Amara smiles at Phuwin:“Beta, go rest now... you must be tired.”

Phuwin nods and walks inside.She softly closes the door.

Outside, she tells everyone:“Alright, everyone. Go get some rest now.”

Mrs. Rasee and Mr. Virat head to their rooms.Gemini has already disappeared.Fourth walks away quietly.

Mrs. Amara looks at Pond:you go inside now too. And please behave properly.”

She gives him a gentle smile and walks away.

Mr. Sorachai steps forward, gives him an intense look:“Pond, now this responsibility is yours.I won’t tolerate any carelessness.You’re my smart son. I trust you got this.”

Pond bows slightly:“Yes, Dad.”

Mr. Sorachai walks away.

---

Pond enters the room.The room is fully decorated — rose scent in every corner, soft candlelight, dim romantic glow.A large king-size bed covered in flowers.

And standing in the middle —Phuwin, quiet.

Pond walks in.Phuwin slowly turns toward him.

Pond walks up to him:“I need to talk to you.”

Phuwin: “Go ahead.”

Pond (serious tone):“I don’t want to lie to you. But remember this…I will never be able to accept you as mine. Understand?I already have a girlfriend. I truly love her.This marriage wasn’t my choice, and I never wanted it.We’re just a ‘happy married couple’ for the world.In reality — your life has nothing to do with me, and mine has nothing to do with you.I won’t interfere in your personal space.And I expect the same from you.”

Phuwin walks closer, places his fingers on Pond’s chest:“So you’re saying you can do whatever you want… and I should just stay silent? Right?”

He gives a soft, sarcastic smile:“Just so you know — I don’t share what’s mine. No matter what it is.Got it?”

Pond just stares at his face, blankly.

Phuwin (smirking):“Okay okay, I honestly don’t care. Do what you want.But one condition — stay within your limits. Got it, my cute hubby?”

He walks away with a smirk:“I’m going for a shower.”

The bathroom door shuts.Pond sits on the sofa, staring at the closed door.

Slight anger, slight confusion.

---

A while later...

Phuwin steps out, drying his wet hair with a towel, and sits on the bed.

He looks at Pond —Who’s still glaring at him, annoyed.

Phuwin: “Aren’t you going to shower?”

Pond says nothing. Grabs his night suit and heads to the bathroom.

Later, Pond comes out fresh, places his towel neatly on the rack...

Then notices another towel — lying casually on the sofa.Phuwin’s towel — the one he was drying.

Pond (annoyed):“I hate mess. If you’re living in this room, everything needs to be in its place.”

Phuwin (calm savage):“Then move the towel off the sofa.”

Pond (cold stare):“Why should I? You’re the one who left it there.”

Phuwin:“You don’t have hands or what? You could move it too.”

Pond (attitude):“I have hands. I won’t move it.”

Phuwin (shrugs):“Cool, don’t. I won’t either.”

Pond (eye-roll):“But that towel is yours, right? I’ve kept mine properly.”

Phuwin says nothing. Just chills.

Pond, frustrated, picks up the towel and puts it aside properly — zero patience.

Phuwin casually sets his hair in front of the mirror and sits on the bed.

Pond (standing near him):“I’m sleeping on the bed... so you’ll have to adjust.”

Phuwin (side-eye):“I’m sleeping on the bed too.”

Pond (shocked):“I can’t sleep with you.”

Phuwin (cool but savage):“That’s your problem. I’m not moving. You adjust.”

Pond (muttering):“I can’t sleep on the sofa...”

Phuwin (arms crossed):“I’m not moving. I’m sleeping here.”

Pond, full defeated energy, grabs a pillow, throws it on the sofa, pulls out a blanket, and lies down — clearly annoyed.

Phuwin watches him, slightly smiling —Then lays down on the bed.

Pond (irritated):“Turn off the lights, please…”

Phuwin (softly staring):“Don’t turn off the lights... I won’t be able to sleep.”

Pond (without looking, rude tone):“That’s not my problem. Turn it off or I won’t sleep.”

Phuwin (stubborn, but soft):“Come to bed... I’ll let you turn the lights off.”

Pond, a little irritated, looks at him but says nothing.He pulls the blanket over his face — like he's logging off from the world.

A while later…Phuwin falls asleep — bathed in light and stubbornness.

But Pond?He’s still awake… staring at the ceiling, trapped in thoughts.

Finally…He gets up. Quietly turns off the light.And returns to the bed to sleep.
