Next Day

Pond wakes up, drags himself to the bathroom, freshens up, and steps out.He glances at Phuwin — still fast asleep. Pond just shrugs and heads downstairs.

Downstairs, Mr. Sorachai and Mrs. Amara are already seated. Pond joins them.Mr. Sorachai asks, “Phuwin isn’t up yet?”Pond replies, “Nope, he’s still sleeping.”

Mr. Sorachai then says, “You both done packing?”Pond nods, “Hmm.”Mrs. Amara adds lovingly, “Pond, my child, please take care of Phuwin there, alright?”Pond just says, “Yeah yeah.”

Mr. Sorachai: “Go wake Phuwin up now. You both need to get ready. It’s almost flight time.”Pond: sighs “Alright.”

He heads upstairs, walks into the room, goes near the bed, and stands next to Phuwin.“Phuwin… Phuwin… PHUWIN!”

No response. Pond gently shakes his hand and says, “Wake up!”Phuwin groggily opens his eyes. “Please… lemme sleep a bit more…”

Pond raises his voice, “We don’t have time, get up! We need to leave!”

Phuwin finally sits up.They both get ready and come downstairs.

The whole family is there.Everyone has breakfast together.

While they’re finishing up, Mr. Pat and Win show up.They greet each other.Phuwin literally runs into Mr. Pat’s arms, then hugs Win too.They all chat for a while, lighthearted vibes.

Cut to: Later that Day, Evening

Pond and Phuwin have arrived at their destination. Everything’s already set — a beautiful private apartment just for the two of them.It’s honestly giving honeymoon suite vibes — like dreamy AF. 🌹✨Servants were on standby, the room was massive and gorgeous.

They freshen up and settle in.Later, servants bring in coffee and a variety of snacks.Phuwin walks over to the big glass window, admiring the city view below — it’s breathtaking.Pond flops on the sofa while the servants quietly exit.

Phuwin: “Wow… this place is sooo beautiful.”Pond (looking at him): “Meh. I don’t see the big deal.”

Phuwin makes a face and walks over to the sofa, sitting beside him.He mutters, “When someone’s rotten from inside, everything looks rotten to them.”

Pond smirks: “Oh really?”Phuwin: “Yup.”Pond: “Then why’d you say yes to marrying me if I’m so bad?”

Phuwin: “Well, I didn’t know you were this bad back then.”Pond: “Ugh, whatever. Don’t talk to me. I need peace, so zip it.Also, FYI — I’m sleeping on the bed, you find yourself another room.”

Phuwin widens his eyes. “Not happening. I’m sleeping with you. I get scared at night.”

Pond: “Well, I sleep alone. I can’t stand you anymore, not even here.Back home we had to act, but here? No one’s watching. No need for this couple drama.Also, just a reminder — I have a girlfriend. So don’t forget that.”

Phuwin slides closer: “You talk so much. Can you like… shut up?”

He picks up his coffee and starts sipping.Pond also grabs his cup and says, “Stay away from me, please.”

Phuwin: “Why?”Pond: “I don’t like anyone near me except Namtan.”

Phuwin (snickering): “Namtan? Tamtan? Who even is that? Your girlfriend?”

Pond glares: “Talk with some respect.”

Phuwin: “Ohh sorry. Did I hurt your feelings?”

Pond groans: “Please Phuwin, my head already hurts. Just… don’t talk to me.”

Phuwin grabs Pond’s collar lightly: “Why are we even here, huh?”

Pond pushes his hand off: “We’re here for nothing. And if your mind is thinking of anything else — forget it. It’s just a dream, and that’s all it’ll ever be.”

Phuwin: “Whoa, chill. I was just talking about going sightseeing.”

Pond: “You’ve got legs. Go walk around yourself. Don’t expect me to come.”

Phuwin: “Fine then. I’ll tell uncle I want to go back to Thailand, since you don’t care.”

Pond (glaring): “So you’re blackmailing me now?”

Phuwin: “I’m just saying. If you don’t go with me today, then tomorrow you better take me. Got it?”

Pond: “Ughhh fine. I’m not going anywhere today. I'm tired.”

Phuwin: “Awww, my cutie pie~ My hubby’s so adorable!”

Pond gets up and walks to the bed, completely ignoring him.Phuwin follows and sits near the bed too.The servant comes, clears the space, and leaves.

Pond’s on his phone.Phuwin sits beside him and says, “Talk to me… why are you so glued to your phone?”

Pond: “Phuwin, please stop annoying me.”

Phuwin shifts to the other side of the bed and starts muttering to himself:“Why’d he even bring me here? Just to bore me to death? No one to talk to.And he says I’m annoying. I haven’t even started being annoying yet.If this is annoying, what would real annoying be like, hmm?”

He throws a pillow on the bed, flops down, and aggressively pulls the blanket over himself.

Pond watches. Phuwin even yanks the blanket from Pond’s side.Pond puts his phone down and asks, “What is your problem?”

Phuwin (snapping): “Don’t talk to me!”

Pond: “You’re sleeping already?”

Phuwin doesn’t reply.Pond stays quiet and keeps scrolling on his phone.

10 PM

There’s a knock. Pond opens the door.Servant: “Sir, dinner.”Pond: “Alright, come in.”

She sets everything and leaves.

Pond walks to Phuwin and gently wakes him. “Get up. Eat something, then sleep again.”Phuwin wakes up.They both sit and eat.After dinner, the servant clears everything and leaves.

Pond heads to the bed: “I’m sleeping on the bed.”

Phuwin: “Cool, go ahead.”

Then Phuwin also climbs into bed.

Pond: “Didn’t you hear? I said I will sleep on the bed. You go to the sofa.”

Phuwin: “This bed is so big, ten people could sleep here. But your tantrums don’t end, do they?”

Pond: “Why just ten? Let’s say fifty could sleep here.”

Phuwin: “Fine, not fifty. But two people can easily share.”

Pond: “Still… I don’t feel comfortable sleeping next to you.”

Phuwin (side-eyeing him): “Then put a pillow in the middle and deal with it.'Cause I’m not leaving.”

He lies down on one side.Pond stands there annoyed, then puts a pillow between them and lies on the other side.

“Now sleep like a normal human, and stay on your side.”

Phuwin: “Hmm. Got it.”

Pond pulls the blanket slightly toward himself and starts scrolling again.

Then suddenly says, “Oh wait. There are so many other rooms here. I’ll go sleep in one of them.”

Phuwin: “No! If you go, I swear I’ll make a scene.”

Pond: “What could you even do?”

Phuwin (softly): “Please don’t go… I get scared…”

Pond: “Fine. I won’t.”

Phuwin slowly reaches out and places his hand on Pond’s.

Pond: “What are you doing?”

Phuwin: “Good night~”

He gently holds Pond’s thumb and falls asleep.

Pond stares at him for a while.Phuwin still has his thumb in his hand.Pond puts away his phone…

And finally — he falls asleep too.
