Foon ups the ante |
Peun puts up a feeble resistance, but soon caves and calls Prim to cancel going with her. He comes up with some BS excuse of something suddenly coming up. Prim, as an excuse to get her mom to the appointment, had told her mother they were going to go for dinner. After Peun's call she cancels that, and then calls Art.
Prim must have noticed Peun's lips were moving |
It is an effective tactic. Art doesn't like lying, and he has told Peun he doesn't want to cover for him. Art suggests they just go to Peun's house, where he is supposed to be having a family dinner, and see if he is lying or not. Art tells Prim he'll go with her.
We jump to a montage of Peun and Foon at a park. They're on a bike, paddling a goofy looking, foot powered swan boat, laying in the grass taking selfies and in general having a lovey-dovey time. Little does happy-go-lucky Peun realize that Art and Prim are in a taxi headed to his house as he frolics with Foon.
Luckily for him Prim changes her mind about going to Peun's house. She reasons that if she goes there and he's at a family dinner she'll feel bad for doubting him, and if he isn't there she'll feel bad because he lied to her. She decides she just wants to avoid it all and spend time alone to think.
We cut to later that night when Peun is getting out of a taxi at his home. Out of the shadows pops Prim. Ro-oh, she decided to check on him after all. Naturally, Peun being Peun, he starts to try to lie his way out of this situation. She cuts him off and tells him that she had liked him and was starting to have feelings for him, but that's all over now.
He tries to grovel his way out of his predicament, but she's having none of it. He then confesses to her that he likes her, but she tells him it is too late, that her feelings towards him have changed. She leaves him standing at his gate.
Peun at the start of a bender |
Art arrives and Peun tells him he ruined it with Prim. That she was waiting at his house when he came home and caught him in his lie. Art is surprised that she actually went there, but he doesn't let on that he suggested to Prim that she do that. When asked, Peun tells Art that he was with Foon. Curiously, there are a couple of lines of dialog dropped. Not only is there no captioning, but there is also no sound. I wonder what it was that made the producers cut it?
He then tells Art, as he's wailing that it is all ruined, that she said she had liked Peun, and that he had confessed to her that he liked her. Art is shocked when he hears that. In fact, he hardly gives any of his usual 'just wait' advice. Instead, has asks Peun "what about Foon?" Peun just weakly replies that she treats him well and that completely disgusts Art. He lays into Peun over how thoughtless he's been.
That night Peun can't sleep. At 3:00 am he messages Foon. Kind of an obnoxious thing to do to say the least. He tells her he feels uneasy and wants to meet with her. They meet at a café. She's feeling frisky, but he shuts her down quickly. He tells her they should stop seeing each other. She protests, but he tells her they were never really in a relationship. She counters by pointing out they had been honking each other, which is the kind of thing people in relationships do. He doesn't answer that, so she directly asks him if he is choosing Prim over her. Further burnishing his dick credentials, he tells her that he doesn't know. He then plays the 'can we still be friends' card.
Foon nukes O Groups chat |
Bare feet and broken glass again |
Their celebration is interrupted by the door bell. It is Peun, standing in front of her gate looking stupid as always. He's going to try to weasel his way back into Prim's good graces, but before he can get far Prim gets a call from Chompoo who tells her about Foon leaving the O Group chat.
Chompoo, Prim and Peun meet to try to contact Foon. Chompoo wonders if either of them did something to upset Foon. Naturally Peun lies through his teeth and says he has no idea what could be bothering her.
Later they get together with Art who had gone to Foon's house and discovered she left quickly to go on a trip to the United States. Chompoo is still puzzling over what upset Foon so much that she quit the group chat. Peun continues to fake that he has no idea what it may have been which disgusts Art.
Chompoo then raises the idea of them going to Art's house during the break. Peun is ready to go, but Prim is still angry with him and clearly doesn't want to spend any time with him. Art reads the situation and says they should all just go their separate ways during the break. Chompoo can sense that Art, Prim and Peun are having some sort of an issue, but she doesn't know what it is.
Chompoo and her family communing with their ancestors |
The family heads inside the shop where some other relatives drop by for a visit. Chompoo looks bored to tears. They ask what grades Chompoo and her sister Som O are in, and then ask if the girls have boyfriends. Chompoo's dad says no, because he wants them to study. Chompoo wisely stays silent.
Prim ghosts Peun |
Later she comes out and says she has to run an errand. When Peun leaves she goes into the house where Prim has been hiding from Peun. She asks Prim if Peun likes her. Prim says she doesn't know and, when asked if she likes Peun, she tells her mom she thinks he's nice to her, but can't be sure.
Prim's mom thinks back to when she caught Foon and Peun together and choses her words carefully. As subtly as she can she warns Prim to be careful not to get hurt. That perhaps staying friends would be better.
Art has return to his mom's house at Kanchanaburi for the break. She wonders where his friends are and he tells her they're too busy to come. At dinner she's made a lot of dishes that Peun and Prim liked and tells him to take them back to give to them. He, unhappy at the thought of Prim and Peun being together, isn't too enthused by that idea.
Later we see him at his mom's school. She's advising parents while he is in his goody-two-shoes mode and is lettering signs for the classrooms. Beyond that. he doesn't do much on his trip.
Finally the new school year starts again. Art, Peun, Chompoo and Prim gather in front of the school. The coldness between Prim and Peun continues and Chompoo notices it. As they're wondering where Foon is a car, which is obnoxiously beeping its horn, pulls up. To the amazement of the four, Ong-art gets out, opens the passenger door and out steps Foon.
