#The team always has Tharn's back.

[miss0atae]

The sign ep 10 was today and it is still one of my favorite series to watch right now. It keeps building up and up.

This episode was packed with more investigations, so our team of police officers can finally find a way to arrest Montree. Of course, nothing really happens like they want it, otherwise we would have nothing to watch next week. I was glad the inspector isn't truly a bad guy working for Montree, but instead he is also trying to apprehend him to avenge his older brother. I still don't understand why he couldn't trust Tharn, but let's admit he had good reasons.

At the same time, Phaya (who now know everything about his past lives with Tharn) must protect his lover from Dr. Chalothon. Thankfully, he has still not shown his face since he tried to kill Phaya, last episode (but for how long? He won't stop right now). However, Phaya and the Abbot think it is better to keep the secret of his real identity from Tharn. He is already so worked up about making sure Montree will be behind bars, it may be for the best.

Fortunately, we had some fun and cute moments thanks to all the secondary characters. It's a good thing because the angst can be quite heavy sometimes. Yai is still everyone's favorite (and if it's not, I don't understand how it is possible). Khem also had his moments.

I love this series! Next episode seems so promising with this new "enemy", the Tiger-man. I want to know if it's another deity or it's just an alias for a new/old bad guy. It also seems like Phaya will tell the truth to Tharn about Chalothon and I want to know how he will react.

Anaiya nodded. "We understand your reasons for disliking Elaida, even hating her. We do understand. But we must think of the Tower and the world. I confess I do not like Elaida myself. But then I have never liked Siuan either. It is not necessary to like the Amyrlin Seat. There is no need to glare so Siuan. You have had a file for a tongue since you where a novice and it has only roughened with the years. And as Amyrlin you pushed sisters where you wanted and only seldom explained why. The two do not make for a very likeable combination."

-The Fires of Heaven, Chapter 27: The Practice of Diffidence

Re-reading The Fires of Heaven has made me increasingly confident in the show's read of Siuan's character being book accurate (an opinion I originally articulated here). I always encourage re-reads of the books, but I would very much encourage re-reading The Shadow Rising and The Fires of Heaven specifically if you are doubting the choices the team made in episode 7.

Cause the thing is, Siuan's central character flaw- the one Anaiya is trying to gently cite above, the one on heavy display all throughout both books via Siuans treatment of those around her, is her complete lack of trust paired with a willingness to force and browbeats others into doing what she thinks is best.

It is, ironically, a trait she shares with Rand- both are unafraid to use their power (physical, magical, political- what have you) to make others obey, and both also are unwilling to demonstrate trust and good faith out of a fear of showing weakness. It's something born inherently of their shared insecurities about their respective positions of power- Siuan's young rise to the Seat and the fact that she is carrying on her conspiracy with Moiraine and Rand's belief that he isn't strong enough/good enough/hard enough to be the Dragon Reborn alongside the tendency of the people he cares about to get hurt or have their lives ruined by simple proximity to him.

Throughout both The Shadow Rising and The Fires of Heaven Siuan uses primarily tactics drawn form the same playbook that would later also lead Rand to disaster in the back half of the series: she comes to view those under charge more for their value to her agenda then as people she should be looking after, forcing Min to remain in the Tower against her will, refusing to make any effort to console or reassure those who care about Elayne (Gawyn, Galad, Morgase) that she is well, and engaging in many actions because their are expedient without regard for their moral implications (ordering Mazrim Taim's execution without trial, lying about Logain being set up by the Red Ajah, manipulation Logain so he has no choice but to follow along with her plan). And I don't think it's a mistake that many of those actions either lead to, or directly follow, Siuan's downfall in the Tower.

In fact, Siuan begins to make the turn in her character after encountering Mistress Tharne, which largely sets in motion Siuan's character arc for the remainder of the series: realizing that she can not force the word to conform to her will, not least of all because she is no longer the most powerful woman on the planet, but more over because it's wrong. Mistress Tharne's rough treatment of Siuan, her complete lack of respect or deference, is a wake call to Siuan that gives her empathy and understanding of the way she treated others when she held power. Much of her arc there after is about emphasizing that point, first as a stilled woman serving Aes Seadi, then as a restored but drastically weakened Aes Sedai.

In this way Siuan gets a taste of what it's like to be on the other side- forced and expected to obey, constantly fighting against a system rigged against her from the start, meant to keep her out of circles of power and away from the ability to make decisions as a woman who can not channel, and then as a Aes Sedai who does not stand high enough in the hierarchy. More over it gives her perspective on why things like the Oaths and the Tower's traditions matter- on the ways the Oaths protect ordinary people and the way Tower traditions like 'staying out of the business of other Aes Sedai' and 'respect secrets of individual sisters and Ajahs' help keep Aes Sedai working together and functional. But it's really her friendships, which she is able make on now even terms, with Nynaeve and Egwene, that help her gain empathy and understanding, and in particular allows her (via her mentorship of Egwene) to try and positively influence the Tower's future via reforms to make it more equitable, less mired and fractious and cracked.

As Amylrin, we're told, Siuan ruled by playing one faction in the Tower against another, widening the cracks between Ajahs and within them so that no one was able to effectively oppose her and her agenda- that is until someone came along who could rally support, to take advantage of those simmering frustrations and angers in order tear her down. But that person, Elaida, shared many of her faults and few of her virtues- instead of playing one faction against and brow beating, Elaida (with the Shadow's help) turned the Tower into armed camps ready to lash out at each other. Siuan's tendency (often cited by even herself) to send sisters to do penance on farms for opposing or annoying her, became Elaida using the same tool to humiliate and punish her enemies and using edicts to demote them to Accepted for being weak, and Siuan's precedent for keeping secrets and working around the Hall became Elaida plotting to kidnap Rand and 'make him supple' via Galina's embassy.

And it's a neat closing of the circle, the kind Jordan really likes to play with, that Siuan's redemption for this is her training of the woman who will replace both her and Elaida. Someone who will actually fulfill both women's ambitions of leading the Tower in the last battle- Egwene. Siuan's justice against Elaida is to help prepare an Amyrlin that will be more then either she or Elaida ever could- someone who will be free of their faults, who will be able to unite the Tower as both women dreamed of doing but never could- who can guide Rand and bind the nations to him, who can serve as a general of the Light strong enough to balance the worst of the Shadow. Siuan teaches Egwene how not to do the things she did, to fall into the traps that brought her down- the arrogance, the pride, the domineering, the compromises with her own morals- and it's that teaching which, in part, gives Egwene the ability to persuade the Tower that still saw her as a Novice....to raise her to Amyrlin of it's own accord.

Siuan still should have been allowed to kill Elaida though instead of the Suffa stuff, I will die on that hill.

Epilogue...it's twice as long as most chapters sooooo lets dig in!

The drug bust was a big success. There's a big scandal. Chart goes to Bangkok and they discuss offering him a job. Chart would prefer to stay in Chiang Mai. The Captain says she will put in a request for him to stay and become a superintendent. Tharn thinks about what he would have done undercover and how he admires Chart for staying cool under pressure. Phaya asks him what he's thinking about and he says Chart which makes Phaya jealous.

They get back to Tharn's family home. Tharn's mom gives him a big hug and checks to make sure he's ok. She then checks to make sure Yai and Phaya are ok as well. She's disappointed when they tell her they have to head back to Bangkok. The Captain notices and says Tharn can stay an extra night. She gives thanks for their hospitality. The grandma has gone to temple so they aren't able to thank her. The Captain notices Phaya doesn't want to come with them and says he can stay as well. The Captain tells him he'll be in trouble when they get back to Bangkok and goes to hit him but is stopped by Singh. The team leaves.

Phaya, Tharn, and his mom sit down for dinner. Tharn doesn't have the best table manners and it makes him mom think what would he be like if she hadn't had to leave him. Tharn asks why she's looking so sad and she lets him know she's thinking of his dad. Tharn tells her they found his killer. She tells him his father shared case details with her and also had her learn self defense. She says she saw Motri was arrested. She always suspected he had something to do with her husband's death.

Tharn asks if there were other reasons other than him that they were apart. She tells him no. The monk told them they only way he would get together with Phaya would be if they broke their karmic thread in this lifetime and for his father to become a monk. That was the only way to extend Tharn's lifetime. Phaya curses Chalotorn silently. Tharn blames himself for everything. She tells him that they would have done anything for him. They loved him more than anything and were happy to sacrifice everything for him. She's upset that Chalotorn still wants to take him away after everything. Tharn reassures her he'll take care of the doctor. Phaya chimes in to say he'll take care of Tharn.

After their conversation ends, Phaya and Tharn go to shower and get ready for bed. Tharn can't sleep and Phaya asks what's the matter. They both sense something bad is going to happen. Tharn says he doesn't want Phaya to have the sixth sense because he wants him to rely on him. Phaya asks if he really wants to rest and starts feeling him up. Tharn insists he's tired. They giggle and kiss and go to sleep.

The next morning Tharn goes for a walk in the fog and meets Chalotorn at the bridge. He congratulates Tharn on closing the case and Tharn says they couldn't do it without him. Tharn wants to clear things up between them. Chalotorn says no need he knows what he's going to say. Tharn says the doctor knows but doesn't understand. He says he does understand the pain Tharn suffered from his unrequited love. Tharn explains that was in the past and this is the present. Thanks him but says that he wants to be himself and spend his life with Phaya. Chalotorn insists he'll only be hurt again. Tharn says if he goes with Chalotorn he'll be hurt anyways. The doctor insists he won't hurt him anymore. Chalotorn is shaken to realize that Tharn truly doesn't love him anymore. Chalotorn reaches out and manifests the amber gem and then crushes it in his hand. It turns to dust and green smoke. The smoke turns into the shape of a Naga and disappears.

Tharn says he spoke with Ticharuj and that they are all good. Everything is forgiven and they can move on without any apologies. Chalotorn accepts and then asks Tharn to come to the underwater world for 7 days to come visit Vanvisa. Tharn doesn't agree so he says how about three days. *sigh* Tharn wants to agree because he wants to see his sister one more time and trusts that Chalotorn will return him. And that Phaya will rescue him if he doesn't. Oh ffs. Tharn says just three days? Chalotorn emphasizes three days of the underwater world which I'm assuming means time works differently there? Tharn's mom and Phaya are heading towards them.

Phaya had woken after Tharn and panicked when he realized Tharn was gone. His mom reassured him that Tharn just went for a walk and they headed out to find him. They are talking when she screams when she sees Chalotorn. They both rush towards them. Tharn doesn't appear to hear them and Chalotorn grins at them before they disappear. Phaya barely brushes Tharn's shoulder before he's touching nothing but air. He falls to his knees devastated. He's ears buzz and all he can think is Tharn is gone.

Yai suddenly feels unwell. His wife Mon asks if he's ok. He says he's just feeling sick all of a sudden. He has a vision of Tharn's face.

Back at the station, Yai comes in and the captain is speaking with her father. He gets a call from Phaya and asks when he'll be in. Phaya is crying and says Tharn was taken away. Yai asks what he means. Phaya says he has to go visit the monk and to please setup time off for him and hangs up. Yai wants more info. Khem overheard and asks what's up with Tharn. The Captain comes out and asks why aren't they working. Yai explains what the call was about. Everyone is stunned.

Phaya goes back to the monastery and visits the river swimming in it like he's searching for something. The whole team works on trying to find Tharn. Yai was angry with Phaya for not taking care of Tharn. He goes to find Phaya at the temple and punches him. Phaya doesn't fight back and looks like death. Yai is angry that they won't tell him who took Tharn.

Three months later Phaya's wedding with Viphavadi has been called off. She was angry when he told her he likes men and had slept with one. His dad cut him off when he found out but Phaya didn't care. He only wants Tharn back. Phaya stayed at the monastery for three months. He kept swimming in the river trying to find the entrance to the underwater world that he's seen in his dreams but he can't find it. His family and Tharn's family fear he's going to drown and ask him to stop but he doesn't care and won't stop. He asks Ticharuj for help and he agrees to but doesn't have the urgency Phaya has.

Phaya is sitting on a car hood drinking thinking about how there's no trace of Tharn and how he may never see him again. He's on the verge of crying when he hears Tharn calling his name. He thinks it's his imagination. But Tharn is standing with his hands on his hips and saying he's been calling out forever.

Tharn spent his three days talking to Vanvisa who was pregnant. Telling her to take care of herself and the child. After three days of underwater world time, he returned to find Phaya distracted. He didn't understand why Phaya wasn't excited to see him and was standing like a statue. Phaya comes out of his daze and grabs onto Tharn and holds him tighter than ever before. Tharn tries to get free but he can't. He doesn't understand why Phaya isn't happy to see him.

Phaya kisses him until his lips bleed and then hugs him tight again. Tharn asks what the hell? I've only been gone three days? Phaya screams THREE DAYS? Tharn nods nervously and says right he was in the underwater world for three days. Phaya tells him he's been missing for three months. Tharn laughs nervously and says three months? He thinks how worried everyone was and that how dead he's going to be.

Phaya picks him up and takes him to the car and starts pulling at his pants. Tharn tells him to take it easy. They tell each other I love you. Phaya marks Tharn all over his body. Tharn is glad no one catches them in action. When they are done, Phaya has Tharn explain what happened. At the end, Phaya tells him if he ever does anything without telling him again he'll kill Tharn. Tharn feels so guilty he agrees to all of Phaya's demands. He ends by telling Tharn to never leave him again and then kissing his forehead. Tharn thinks that he never would have gone if he'd known that the time wasn't synchronized.

Phaya wants to have sex again and Tharn says he can do it as much as Phaya loves him. His hip aches the next morning and he had a fever for a week after.

TharnType SS2: Episode 1

I would like to preface this by saying I have seen episodes one and two while writing this. I don’t really have anyone to talk to about BL, though, so I wanted to put my thoughts in the universe. I’m thinking about doing this with the other shows I’m watching this month as well. Also, I know I’m getting way into the characters/plot, but I’m a stay at home mom who usually watches PJ Mask. Please, let me have this.

I’m so happy Type is happy. You can practically feel how secure he is in his relationship. Then Tharn has to ruin it by sleeping in. Type is kinda soft now, even in his anger for Tharn making him late. Type doesn’t like his boss, so I don’t like his boss. Also, seems a bit excessive to call someone out for being almost late. I have never been seen by a doctor on time. Tharn rubbing Type’s feet is super domestic, even though it is fueled by his libido. I don’t want to speak on the shower scene simply because my thoughts of it are more like “damn, Mew and Gulf really trust each other” and less like “damn, Tharn really wants Type”.

Producer Tharn is kinda hot, but that guy makes me slightly uncomfy. I don’t know if he is Tharn’s boss. It kinda feels like he might’ve “jokingly” hit on Tharn and got denied. I could be reading too far into it though. Drunk Tharn, on the other hand, is not hot and I can see Type’s short temper influencing Tharn. We all know Type isn't gonna cut off Tharn's dick, but now I miss Techno. TharnType’s first fight over laundry tells me they are still really petty with each other. I’m waiting for Type to pull the snack crumbs out again.

Why is P’San still around? More importantly, why is he so comfortable with Tharn still. Shouldn’t he have more respect for Type, especially when he’s standing RIGHT THERE? I thought Type put an end to this. The Kiriguns could’ve fake clapped for P’Thorn, though I’m right there with them. Like, propose first and then come back to me.

Dear Thanya, learn how to read a room. I know you mean well, but if it hasn’t happened after 7 years, there’s something deeper.

The something deeper: Type is valid in his feelings. Type lets us know that he has grown some. He can acknowledge he is in a gay relationship. All of his feelings are so valid it makes me not want the wedding for them. I do think some of his concern stems from the “A boy named T” newspaper articles, but do not discredit his concern. He doesn’t want Tharn or his family to experience the invasion of everyone else’s opinions on their lives or careers.

I really wish Tharn would’ve told Type he heard that conversation. I wish they would have talked SERIOUSLY. I wish Tharn would LISTEN to Type. Type seems to let logic rule this decision in his life. It is very contrasting to his impulse decisions of season 1. Miscommunication has always been their downfall, and I don’t see it getting better anytime soon. This scene kind of reverses all of the domestic build up of the episode. I am assuming that is why they placed it here. It destroys the romantic beginning and the growing up that was implied. The dialogue suggests that Tharn and Type give up on trying to talk through their problems often. I do hope this is something we see them grow out of.

Characters introduced in episode 1:

Dr. Khunpol- Super excited! He’s adorable in a way most of the guys in the show aren’t. Like super cute. Finally, Champ will have love.

Phugun and P’Cir- I’m not too sure what the relationship between Phugun and Tharn is, but I’m not intimidated by their presence. Maybe they’ll help TT develop.

The dude at Tharn’s job- What’s his name, and why am I a little wary of him?

Fiat- Fiat gives me LhongxKengkla vibes and I’m posted up ready to throw hands. He’s in high school right? How the hell is he supposed to be an antagonist without being as bad as Lhong or Kengkla. I don’t understand. He already seems slightly outcast despite being the basketball team’s captain. His teammates give me the feeling that playing basketball is Fiat’s defining trait. Just like being Tharn’s best friend was Lhong’s defining trait. Just like being obsessive was Kengkla’s defining trait.

Soccer Love | TT

TharnType: 

Summary: Tharn surprises Type at his soccer match. It doesn’t exactly go to plan. Genre: Hurt/Comfort. EmotionallyBruised!Tharn. Warnings: Descriptions of a bloody nose.

A/N: Because I’m bitter we never got to see Tharn in the stands at a footie match. And thank you always to @kdramama.

Two months into their official official relationship, after the breakups and makeups, after the fights and the tears and the soft whispers of I love you’s, something rather shocking occurs to Tharn.

He realizes, one breezy Wednesday afternoon, that’s he’s never seen Type play a soccer match. Not up close, anyway.

Not because he doesn’t want to or because he doesn’t care. Simply because they’re in completely different faculties at university and their schedules never line up. Honestly speaking, they’re lucky if they get time to meet up for lunch once a week.

Type usually hates surprises, but Tharn hopes he’ll like this one. His afternoon classes have been canceled due to some AC issues in the music building so Tharn follows the steps down to the university field, butterflies in his stomach. He remembers Type saying that morning that he might be home late after the match if the team has something to celebrate. Tharn hopes he can be Type’s good luck charm and celebrate with them.

The stands are crowded in some places and empty in others, the match already underway. Tharn doesn’t spot Type right away and he doesn’t want to barge to the bottom step next towards the player's benches and risk making Type nervous.

Not that he’s the kind to get nervous. Then again, Tharn didn’t think he was either and yet he can feel his stomach doing backflips as he shuffles through the spectators.

Tharn settles on a spot roughly halfway down near a group of cheering girls holding banners. Tharn doesn’t know if he’s proud of jealous when he spots Type’s name on one of them.

He decides on the former and shakes his head fondly, eyes turning back to the pitch and the scattered players who all look the same from afar.

Save for one.

Dark hair, fierce eyes, sunkissed skin. The way he moves on the pitch, graceful and fluid. Tharn would recognize those toned legs anywhere.

He smiles at the sight, not at all surprised. Type is shouting at one of the players on the opposing team, ready to start a fight. Techno standing in between them as usual, trying to defuse the situation. Champ coming up from behind to step in if he needs to.

The referee comes in and barks at Type and the other player, waving his yellow and red cards at them. They quickly dissipate in opposite directions on the field, Techno patting Type on the back while he grumbles something no doubt full of swear words, and the game continues.

Tharn sits with his hands clasped together, knees bouncing nervously, watching the back and forth of the ball. He doesn’t pay the other players much attention, eyes focused on one in particular. His narrow waist and tanned thighs.

Tharn doesn’t know much about soccer, the positions, and the play, but he does know to cheer like he’s watching his gladiator defeat a rabid lion when Type skillfully kicks the ball into the net, scoring his team a goal.

He rises to his feet -as do the girls next to him- clapping his hands together hard enough to hurt in the excitement.

Type dives into the circle of teammates around him in celebration. Tharn places his fingers in his mouth to whistle, not anticipating it to be quite so loud.

Tharn watches as Type’s head whips around, eyes squinting in his direction. He leaves his circle of teammates and approaches the edge of the pitch. Angry frown clear as day and suddenly Tharn’s surprise seems like a huge mistake.

He wonders if he sits down quickly and quietly, whether he’ll get away with it until the end of the match. Maybe slip out before he’s caught for definite. He’s wearing the same white shirt as everyone else around him and it’s not like he has any distinctive features, he could lie and pretend he wasn’t even here.

Tharn isn’t sure if their relationship is common knowledge to the whole team or just Type’s close friends. He hasn’t asked and he doesn’t want to push it. He and Type have been getting back on their feet, finding themselves again as individuals and as a couple. They both have a lot of history to move on from and it’s no use in rushing Type into something if he isn’t ready. Tharn doesn’t want to do anything to risk losing him again. The mere thought of doing something that would upset Type makes his throat constrict.

“Tharn?!” Type shouts.

Tharn’s heart pounds in his ears, flashbacks of Type telling him he feels like a joke, he feels like he’s losing himself, he feels like he hates himself, running through his mind.

“Hey, asshole!” Someone yells in the background. “Are we playing or not?”

“Fuck off, I’m coming!” Type barks at them, before turning back. “Ey, Tharn!” he repeats, hand waving in the air. Frustrated confusing melting into a grin.

Tharn feels weak at the knees at the relief, smiling back, when out of the corner of his eye he sees the ball fly through the air and hit Type square on the side of his face.

The crowd of girls gasp in unison.

Type’s knees buckle and his teammates run towards him in slow motion.

Someone blows a whistle in the distance and Tharn feels frozen until he sees the blood. Pouring down Type’s chin as he grabs his nose, face twisted in pain as he drops to the ground.

Tharn’s feet are moving down the steps before he realises he’s even blinked.

“Type? Type!” he stammers.

There’s a fight starting on the pitch, half of Type’s teammate's verses a handful of the opposition.

“Fucking asshole! You are fucking dead!” Type promises from the floor. Words muffled but as ferocious as ever.

“Type!” Tharn calls, rushing towards the small crowd around him.

“Mother fucker!” Type grumbles, Techno knelt in front of him, face panicked.

“Is it broken?” Techno flails. “Oh, shit. Is your nose broken?”

“How the fuck should I know?!” Type whines through his nostrils. “Fuck!”

“Type,” Tharn says, swallowing the lump in his throat. Too afraid to push through to reach his boyfriend. His friend. His roommate. Whatever he’s supposed to be in front of all these people.

He takes a shuddering breath, fists clenched by his sides.

Like a moth to a flame, Type’s pain-filled eyes find him in the melee.

Tharn is moving before he can think. “Type?” he says, voice barely above a whisper.

“Tharn,” Type growls in reply and his teammates step back, like a parting sea. “I’m going to fucking kill you.”

“Me?”

“You distracted me, asshole!”

His teammates laugh, one of them patting Tharn on the shoulder, pushing him forward.

Tharn’s fingers start to shake. Type is hurt and Type is angry.

“Are you okay?” Tharn murmurs, bending down. Unsure if he’s okay to touch, to cup Type’s cheek, to pull him to his chest as he bleeds.

“No!” Type barks back in his face.

Behind them, Champ pulls off his soccer jersey and bends down in front of Type, prying his hand away from his nose.

“Ah, shit!” Type yells when Champ pokes at his face before pushing his bunched up t-shirt into it. Each wince like a knife in Tharn’s gut.

“It’s not broken, but keep the pressure on,” Champ says, looking across at Tharn who nods.

Tharn cups the back of Type’s neck and pushes the fabric over his nose, pinching the bridge underneath to stop the bleeding. Type grumbles at him, eyes glaring. Tharn is just grateful he finally has a reason to touch him, even if he’s cursed the whole time.

“I’m sorry,” he whispers so that only Type can hear. His words catch in his throat. “I shouldn’t have come. I’m so sorry.”

“What are you talking about?” Type asks, voice at a normal volume despite how nasal he sounds.

“I wanted to see you play. I didn’t think it through.”

Type’s hand grips his wrist. “I’ve been dropping hints for weeks that I wanted you to come sometime.”

Tharn shakes his head, he shouldn’t have come.

“I always thought you were busy,” Type pouts. “So I stopped nagging.”

“I thought you were telling me when you had matches so I’d know not to wait up?”

“No, idiot.”

“You wanted me to come watch you play?” Tharn repeats.

“Mh, I just thought I’d actually be playing the ball, not be blindsided by it. And you.”

“I’m sorry.”

“You know I hate surprises.”

“I know, I’m sorry.”

“Stop saying sorry, asshole.” Type scoffs, “We should just buy an ice machine for the apartment at this point.”

“For your injuries, or for…”

“Shut up.”

The referee blows his whistle again in the distance, calling something about a penalty. Type’s teammates cheer above them.

“Does that mean you won?” Tharn guesses, but only from the reactions around them.

Type chuckles, pulling Champ’s t-shirt and Tharn’s hand away from his face. He’s covered in blood, his top lip is bruised and there’s a small cut across his nose. But he’s no longer bleeding and he’s smiling which Tharn counts as a win. 

Type holds Tharn’s chin with his thumb and forefinger. “I listen to you drone on about music, it’s time you listened to me while I educate you on the love of my life.”

“Deal,” Tharn smiles. “As long as it comes second place to your other love.”

Type smirks. “Don’t count on it, asshole.” He moves to stand with the help of Techno and Tharn hovers close as he walks back towards the pitch.

“What are you doing?” 

“I’m taking my free kick,” Type informs him, wiping his hand under his nose, grimacing at the dried blood. 

“You’re still playing?” Tharn says, like he’s insane.

“That’s how a penalty usually works,” Type  tuts.

“Well, technically, I could take it for you,” Techno offers.

“Fuck off,” Type sniggers, pushing his friend off and walking on his own towards his other teammates waiting for him. He turns over his shoulder from afar, “Sit down over there,” he says, nodding at the players bench, “And watch me crush these guys.”

“Your fans will get jealous,” Tharn smirks, hearing the girls from earlier cheering.

“Who needs fans when I have a boyfriend?” Type shrugs, grinning ear to ear.

[whyamistillwatchingtheseshows]

i've been reading all of your writings and i am crying cause i need them in my life, especially the tharntype fics! :'> if you're open to taking a request, could you do a tharntype where tharn becomes jealous baby of ae because type becomes his mentor in soccer, so they're always spending time practicing and type grows very fond of ae. i love imagining tharntype being that senior couple that their freshmen kids look up to from love by chance :'(

Don’t be like that. He’s just mentoring him. They’re practicing soccer. Why do they sit so close on the bench? Who you fucking kidding the team is practically in each other’s laps so this doesn’t mean anything. He seems really close to that freshman, though, so what’s going on? No, no. We’ve learned this. Eat it. Swallow the jealousy. They’re merely teammates on a soccer team.

Type waved to Tharn. He waved back and smiled. Still didn’t help because Type’s attention was then again diverted by the freshman for another close huddle, just the two of them. Tharn had to admit the kid was pretty good at the game. It’s probably why Type wants him on the team. The kid had skills. The kid also has a name but Tharn never used it. In fact, he’d grown so accustomed to saying “the kid” the passed few months and funny enough it gets a response from several freshman around campus, not just this guy. Seriously, no need to put your arm around him. Why huddle like that just the two of you? It’s not a team huddle. Come on, you’re right next to each other you can hear everything. Just a smidge a part that’s all I ask. Tharn eyed them and gestured a sweeping a part motion. He sighed. Nope. Apparently all soccer players like to sit that closely on the bench. Type sent the kid back the field. Okay, fine you’re really good kid. That doesn’t mean you go crushing on your senior now. Please, don’t. —-

After the practice, they stood in the stairwell below the bleachers. Type hooks a hand into Tharn’s and kisses his cheek. Tharn was about to go further, when down the steps came the kid.

“Hey, Ae. Did you need something?” Type asked him. “You were great on the field today.”

“Thank you, but I wanted to talk to you about something. That’s if you’re not too busy.” Ae looked at Tharn. He tried to feign a smile as if to say no we’re not busy. It faltered and he just let Type answer. The frustration working into Tharn’s jaw did not go unnoticed by his boyfriend.

“Tharn, I’ll be a minute. Wait, in the car?” Type squeezes his hand. It does nothing to quell that little green monster. Don’t you dare. You trust him entirely so following him is out of the question. Tharn moped all the way to the car. Ae and Type still remained in the stairwell.

—

“Your questioning reminds me of my own. I’ve learned over three years that happiness is what matters. Is this Pete someone who makes you happy? Even so, I think you can only answer that, Ae.”

“How do you know, though? So yeah...” Ae sheepishly looks to the ground, “ I may have recently had a moment where I was suddenly turned on by him but how do you really know?”

“You just do, Ae. At least it was that way for me. Sort of.”

“P’Type, I’ve heard lots of rumors about you.”

“They won’t go away. Some of them are true. Others are not. Only thing that matters is, does being with Pete make you happy? Even as a friend or more than a friend?” Ae would have to think on that. They chatted a few more minutes about the practice. Out of the corner of his eye, as he leaned against the car, Tharn saw Type walking Ae towards the bicycles. A soft hand rested on the kid’s back as he mounted. Tharn took in a deep breath. Stop it. It’s just a friendly touch. Nothing else. Sure as hell better not be anything else.

Ae was off, thinking about how he only wanted to spend all of his time with Pete. Tharn stares after him. Type snapped fingers in his face. “So he’s cute, but not cute enough to ogle at like that.” Type said to him. Oh, okay. I see how it is. Okay, mister let me huddle close. Mister touch his back. Mister ditch my boyfriend because the kid desperately wanted to talk about something. Tharn didn’t say any of that out loud of course. He ignored Type as they climbed into the car.

—-

Type let it go for several hours after they got home. He didn’t mention anything until they sat to eat dinner.

“So Ae. What do you think of him? You watched the practice. He’s a good player?”

Tharn licks his lips and grits his teeth. Type was getting the silent treatment. He rolled his eyes. “Fine, I’ll answer myself. He’s a good player. He’ll probably even make captain by the time he’s a senior.” Tharn didn’t look at him. “Also, I mean, he also looks pretty good shirtless...maybe next practice I’ll do a game with skins and shirts.” Tharn dropped his fork and eyed Type. Anger permeated his clenched jaw. “Do whatever you want,” he snapped.

Type scoffed. “Come on, babe! I sniffed your jealousy from a mile away. I’m going to tease the shit out of you. How many years has it been?”

“So, I still don’t have to like it.” Tharn huffed.

“The kid is more innocent than I was and that’s saying something, Tharn.” He was given a glare. “Tharn!” No response. Type tried a different tactic.

“Do you want to know what he talked about?” Tharn slightly nodded. Type smiles. “Well, then come closer.” Tharn had a flashback to the club when he said exactly that to Type and then soon after he kissed him as more than a friend. He leaned in closer.

“Firstly, I feel good about the fact that Ae trusts me enough to come to me for advice. Secondly, Ae is grappling with feelings for someone. The same kind of feelings I had for you. Well, maybe not the same,” Type bit his lip. “I mean I’m not sure how Ae feels but I know how I feel when I look at you. You make me smile, Tharn. Over three years now you’ve held me while I’ve cried. You’re always by my side. You’re everything to me. You are it for me. So a cute freshman has latched himself to me, that doesn’t mean I’d let him make moves on me or make moves on him. We’ve talked about this before, it’s only you and me forever.” Type sealed this part of the speech with a kiss. They pulled a part. “You know early on I wanted to always punch you when you got jealous but now all I want to do is show you that it’s everyone else who should be jealous.”

Tharn chuckled. He fought back the urge to knock everything off this dining table and pin his boyfriend to it, but he really didn’t want to clean up the food mess later. Type had a different idea as he rounded the table, pushed Tharn back into his chair and then sank into his lap. Tharn let out a sigh. “All right,” he started. “I’m an idiot.”

“You’re my idiot. My jealous guy, but just remember I’m always thinking about you. It’s awfully distracting actually.” Type jokes. Tharn kisses his neck. Type bites his lips, eyes glowing with excitement as he tangled fingers into hair. Tharn nipped at an ear, Type let out a hiss. Noises. Tharn felt certainly glad that for three years they’ve had their own place, because this pent up jealousy inside was going to make Type scream, whine, moan and whimper all night long.

Etched into your skin - Chapter 3

Here’s the 3rd chapter! Thanks everyone for the comments/likes/Kudos, you’re the best!!!

Link to AO3

Link to Ch1 ; Link to Ch2

---------------

Type was an expert at denial. He wore it like a second skin.

As he moved his boxes in the condo he’ll share with Techno, no one could have imagined his brain was torturing him. He almost met Tharn.

The first thing he’ll do as soon as class started was to find out in which university his soulmate was exactly as to stay the fuck away from it forever. Maybe he should consider changing university. His parents would definitely not be on board with that. It took him almost 3 weeks to convince his father to let him ditch the dorms.

Frankly, his dad didn’t want him in a condo for his first year, but Type had little choice in the matter. He simply couldn’t be in the same room with Tharn. The man would find out. Maybe not the first week, maybe not even the first month if he lied about his name. But he would eventually. And Type refused to deal with the potential fallout. So he had to use an argument he wasn’t proud of.

‘Dad, I’m not feeling safe in a room with another random guy.’

He had felt guilty and uncomfortable using that against his dad. But the result was instant, and the following week he was already signing the lease of his new condo.

“Type! Here’s your last one,” called Techno, sliding a cardboard box on the floor.

All was fine, he could handle this.

----------

Maybe Tharn had been overeager.

When he had red the letter, he’d stared at it unblinkingly for what felt like an eternity. His mother, worried, had read over his shoulder. Before he knew it, his face got crushed in a suffocating hug as she was part laughing part crying for him.

His dad had soon barged into the kitchen, concerned about the noise.

The rest of the evening had been very loud as his parents swinged between congratulations and hugs. And then he had to explain everything for a third time when Thorn came back home later in the evening.

Saying he was excited was the understatement of his life. So as soon as the first day of moving into the dorm rolled around, Tharn brought all his boxes and started to put his things away.

He wanted to be there to welcome Type in what would be their first home together. Tharn wanted to smile at him, see in his eyes a reflexion of his thoughts. Would he be nervous? Giddy? Composed?

Type would already know who he was.

Were they supposed to hug? Was that too forward? But at the same time, he couldn’t just… not. That would be too strange. Maybe they could go out and eat together to chat, starting to get to know each other. Maybe they wouldn’t be able to bring themselves to leave the room.

Tharn had so many questions for him. But probably the first one would be why hadn’t Type registered himself? If his soulmate was in Uni, he had to at least be his own age. Was Type one of these people that wanted the meeting to be organic? Was Type a romantic?

His heart was beating too fast, he was feeling light headed.

Tharn was going to be fine, he just had to handle himself until Type arrived. That’s what he had to keep repeating at least.

Tharn looked up at the dorm’s door with each item he was putting away.

After emptying his first box, he only raised his head whenever he heard movement in the hall.

After the third box, he stopped altogether, massaging his neck slowly.

As the night rolled around, he had to accept today wasn’t the day. Maybe he really had been too eager. They still had quite some time until the start of the semester.

However, on the first day of class, as he woke up yet again facing an empty bed, Tharn’s enthusiasm vanished like smoke in the wind.

Type must have known, he must have received the same letter as him, clearly stating who his roommate would be. Suddenly, Type not being registered sounded less like romance and more like avoidance.

But why? Why would Type not want to meet? Even if he didn’t want a romantic relationship, which did happen sometimes, why not meet with him and tell him?

What if something bad had happened?

As soon as his first day of classes ended, Tharn excused himself from the group of freshmen that wanted to go out for celebratory drinks, claiming he had some administrative issues. Lhong had thrown him a look, but didn’t stop him.

Technically, Tharn wasn’t lying. It just wasn’t his own administrative problem. He approached a woman reading behind her desk.

“Hello, I’m sorry to bother, but I think there’s a problem with my roommate.”

She looked at him with the sort of weariness born out of dealing with stupid requests from days on end.

“Unless the issue is actually very serious, there’s nothing I can do to help. All the rooms are jam packed, so we can’t transfer the freshmen left and right.”

“Ah, no that’s not why I’m here. I’m worried for my roommate, he never moved him. Since classes started already, I was wondering if everything was alright. His name is Type Thiwat Phawattakun.”

She hummed, turning toward her computer and checking some files. It took a couple of minutes of silent scrolling before she turned toward him again.

“He cancelled his spot in the dorms. Very last minute actually. Freshmen are more and more irresponsible each year…”

Tharn felt a pang in his heart at the news. Type has cancelled. He’d backed out of their meeting.

“Where is he now? Did he drop out of University?”

“I don’t think so, it does happen that freshmen give up the dorm for their own private accommodations. It’s more expensive, but also more comfortable.”

So Type was definitely avoiding him.

“Could you tell me which University he’s enrolled in please?”

At that, the woman looked at him with narrowed eyes.

“These are private information that I cannot share with just anyone, sorry Nong. You should just enjoy your big room for yourself, you’re the only one lucky enough for that.”

Tharn felt anything but lucky.

-------------

Turns out, finding one guy within an entire University complex could be quite the challenge. The first thing people said when he asked if they knew Tharn was:

“Tharn? From which Uni?”

So far, he’d only managed to confirm Tharn wasn’t enrolled into the faculty of sports. Only a million more people to ask.

Despite the stress of having to look over his shoulder all the time and making a point of asking people their names before they could even think of asking his first -which had already put him in hot waters with some seniors- University life wasn’t half bad.

Living with Techno was fun. In the evenings they played games together and chilled. Sometimes Techno invited some of their classmates to hang out and drink. They had met some very cool people, particularly a guy called Champ who seemed to know all the best restaurants around. Friday or Saturday nights, they even managed to motivate each other enough to actually go to a proper bar.

Classes are as easy as they ever were and as long as Type listened to the lecture, he barely had any efforts to put into his homeworks. Still drove Techno up the wall in frustration. The coach liked him, even though he always said that Type had to keep his temper in check or he’ll be benched. Type knows he’s good enough to not have to worry too much about the threat. Again, that drove Techno completely crazy since he’d already started his recruitment campaign to convince everyone to elect him as team captain. For his senior year. What was wrong with that boy, Type wasn’t too sure sometimes. In any case, sucking up to the coaches was part of his strategy. Techno did try to deny that last point, but there was an overwhelming amount of evidence against him. For instance, the way he almost tripped on his own feet to play delivery boy.

“Bring this to the music faculty office, it’s the selection of songs we want them to play during the matches.”

“No problem coach! I’ll go right away.”

His bunch of papers under the arm, Techno came back to his group of friends.

“Guys! Come with me, we need to deliver some papers.”

“This is in no way a ‘we’ situation No,” said Champ, stretching out his legs.

“Sorry, we’re kind of in the middle of our stretches,” tried Team, offering a small smile to the other boy.

“Type is on his phone! He’s not even pretending to stretch!”

They all turned to the accused who was indeed lounging on his side, scrolling lazily.

“Type does whatever he wants…”

That was true and it made him very happy to know they already realised it after only a couple of short weeks.

“Tyyyyyype.”

“I would rather die than come with you No,” came the deadpan answer.

“You could at least look up from your phone!”

His plea went unanswered. Knowing better than to annoy the young man to the point of aggression, Techno cursed them all and started his solo adventure.

Techno had to actually ask his way a couple of times as the music and sports department weren’t close at all. He even had to take a Uni shuttle, receiving plenty of curious looks since he hadn’t taken the time to change out of his sports outfit.

Despite being quite a trek away from their faculty, the music building looked pretty similar to their own. Maybe there were more windows. Was light important for musicians? Did they share with the art department?

His adventure wasn’t over quite yet though, the entrance office wouldn’t take the papers, complaining about messing the systems up and Techno got redirected once again.

“So… third floor, and then at the back of the building…”

Every single room, every corridor looked the same and nothing appeared as being the back of anything.

“Shit!”

“Hey, are you alright?”

Techno turned around, coming face to face with-

“Handsome boy!”

The man raised both eyebrows in surprise, readjusting the straps of his bag on his shoulders.

“What?”

“You’re so pretty, are you an angel sent from the sky to help me?”

The man was adorable with a very cute face and pouty lips, a single long earring catching the light on the side of his face and despite his clear confusion, he still offered Techno a large smile.

“I can definitely try.”

“I need to find the faculty office of the music department. It’s about music for our matches,” he explained, flapping around the brown envelope he’d brought all the way there.

“Ah I see, I’ll walk you there. You’re very close, but it can be tricky to find the room.”

“Lhong, is everything fine?”

Techno turned toward the man that seemed to have called his saviour.

“Damn! Is it a requirement to be handsome to get into the faculty of music?”

If Lhong was cute, the newcomer was definitely handsome, and that despite the dark circles under his eyes.

“All good, I’ll just show this guy the way to the office. Save me a spot in the canteen?”

The man nodded and left without further ado.

“Let’s go!”

“Thanks man, I’m Techno by the way. I’m in the faculty of sports.”

Lhong laughed, checking him out from head to toe.

“Yeah I could have guessed that. I’m Lhong. Isn’t the faculty of sports super far away from here?”

Techno groaned loudly.

“So far away! I had to take the Uni shuttle to come!”

“Sounds like a pain, you should stay to eat with us so you wouldn’t have travelled all the way for nothing.”

After one last corridor turn, they finally arrived in front of the teachers’ office. Techno would never have found it, even the door tag was scratched out and faded.

“I wish, I lost too much time already, I’ll have to hurry back and pray my friends didn’t ditch me. But give me your Line ID! I’ll send you a message and we can go grab a drink, I’ll treat you as a thank you.”

“Ah, that’s not necessary, it was nothing.”

Techno shushed him, already fishing out his phone and pushing it in Lhong’s hands.

“Nonsense! It’s gonna be fun. I’ll bring my friends, bring the hot one you were with before. I’m sure music students know the best bars.”

Lhong shared his number and after a last goodbye, they parted in front of the office.

Maybe his adventure hadn’t all been in vain.

links for current & recent media

Since I am watching and posting about these shows and will be doing so in the future, I did want to post the links to the places I’ve been watching at, since as an international fan, watching from the official links is generally the most I can do to support the shows. If you want any kind of personalized content warnings for the ones I’ve already watched, let me know!

Most of these are based on novels, none of which I’ve read yet, unfortunately. I have read a very little of a translation of Mo Dao Zu Shi (the novel The Untamed is based on) but my brainspace has been better situated to watching things than reading things at the moment.

Currently Watching

Until We Meet Again (by Studio Wabi Sabi)

I’m all caught up at episode 16 and am dying. Pls send help.

UWMA is a great show -- it’s a queer reincarnation romance, and it does have MAJOR content warnings for suicide and homophobia, but (imo) it deals with those topics very well. In addition to the romances, it has some great friendships as well. Wonderful acting.

I have two quibbles with the show, one more major (the somewhat erratic narrative flow for the side couple) and one that’s just a line here or there (cw: body-shaming, basically), but the main plotline is just... deep and nuanced and the acting in mind-blowingly good. 💖

Why R U? (by LINE TV)

Tonally, this show reminds me of something like The Princess Bride or Galaxy Quest or Clue, in that it feels like a loving and sincere satire of the genre’s conventions that can be funny and silly but then also have genuinely touching emotional beats. It’s laughing with the genre, not at it, I would say.

Saifon & Zon are kinda the more comedic version of the tropes, while Fighter and Tutor are the more drama-based half, but they switch it up sometimes. The tension between Fighter and Tutor is excellent, even if the subtitles are... sometimes less than clear. Watch their faces and their bodies and not the words on the bottom of the screen, tbh (though the most recent week’s subs were better; I heard they got a new translation team?). 💖

Recently Watched

TharnType (by LINE TV)

Special Episode (costs $10 to purchase unlimited streaming; the main series above is free):

I was genuinely blown away by TharnType. It can feel very raw and unfiltered, but in a way that is acted and filmed beautifully. Character growth that is... intense but believable. Complex characters.

It does have some pretty major content warnings but if you’ve watched Black Sails or Spartacus, then it’s in that same kind of ballpark, warning-wise, I would say but again, I can definitely give details if you need them.

The chemistry between the two lead actors is scorchingly hot; it kinda has to be for the story to work, but they have more than enough electricity to pull it off.

The story fits together really well. It’s a relatively straight-forward romance when you break it down, but I find it particularly satisfying how Type and Tharn’s faults move their relationship forward as much as their virtues do. Their relationship starts out so incredibly messy, which is always a favorite thing of mine.

Very much looking forward to season 2 when it airs. 💖

The Untamed | Chen Qing Ling (by Tencent): you can watch it on netflix, or youtube, or viki.com (@three--rings has informed me that viki is official too 💖)

I mean, this show is everywhere right now, but just in case you missed the pitch: charming and chaotic bisexual necromancer demonic cultivator dies but then is brought back and reunites with the love of his life while solving a murder mystery in ancient fantasy China.

It’s about as queer as it could possibly be given Chinese government censorship laws; the acting for the mains is fantastic, the chemistry between the leads is wonderful, it’s PEAK ROMANCE at all times, it has interesting and complicated things to say about family and society. It will give you all the feels. It helped heal my heart so much after the disappointment of The Magicians S4 finale. Infinite gratitude and love for it tbh. 💖💖💖

Planning To Watch Next:

1. Love By Chance: I’ve seen a bit of it already, because I wanted more Type content (and, yes, not the same actor, but it was definitely still Type!), but I haven’t watched it in full yet, so I’m going to officially watch it all after I’m done with UWMA.

2. Joy of Life: not a queer show or a BL but it sounds really intriguing (and Xiao Zhan from CQL has a minor part in some of the ending episodes). Modern-day student is reborn as a baby in ancient fantasy China; it apparently has a lot of humor but also has heart.

3. 3 Will Be Free: I hear this has a poly relationship as the main relationship and they get a happy ending plus the actual story (surviving while on the run from one of the character’s criminal family) sounds intriguing.

4. He’s Coming To Me: Ghost love story with a happy ending. No playlist links available that I’m aware of, but lmk if it sounds interesting to you.

5. HIStory: Cross the Line & HIStory 3: Trapped: I don’t actually know what these are about! I think History is a bit of an anthology show, where each ‘season’ has a different plot? That’s the impression that I get. These are both on viki.com so that’s where I’ll be watching them.

6. Dark Blue Kiss: I think this is about an established relationship (and there’s a compliation video called Our Skyy that has the actual ’getting together’ bit & I should watch that first).

A Coffee And His Number

A/N: This was originally days 27 and 28 of the past Flufftober <3 But after doing some thinking, I decided to post it on here. I hope everyone likes it! This fic is a coffee shop au! Just letting everyone know! And it was the first time I wrote for these two, so I apologize if they’re not in character all that much!

Summary:  During one of his shifts at the coffee shop, Tharn encounters Type and tries to get his message across for the hundredth time and this time, it works.

Word Count: 1643

It was just another normal, or semi-normal, day at the coffee shop where Tharn worked. He had seen some of the regulars that came in along with some new people. It was quite hectic during the morning hours but now that it was the early afternoon, the wave of people that came in started to settle and he could finally hear his own thoughts. Settling for wiping down the counter as the other workers dealt with anything the customers that were currently in the shop needed, Tharn finished up and went to head in the back but was halted when the bell of the cafe jingled, telling him that someone had just entered. Turning back around with a smile to greet said customer, Tharn froze up as he noticed the new customer. It was Type, a fellow classmate at their local university. They had rarely spoken but Tharn found that he couldn’t stop thinking about the other boy for a while and it frustrated him sometimes since he tried everything to get Type’s attention. He was either really dense or not interested and was too polite to say so.

“Hey Tharn, can I get my regular?” Type asked, shooting him a small smile as he stepped towards the counter, carrying a soccer ball under his one arm. That was another thing. Tharn should’ve known that he would come in. Apparently Type was on the soccer team at their university and he always liked to stop in for a cold ice coffee whenever he was done with practice. Not noticing that he was just standing there, observing all of Type’s features, Tharn snapped out of it when Type called his name just a bit louder, a small flush rising on his cheeks which interested Tharn. “Tharn? Are you there? Is everything okay?”

“O-oh, yeah! Sorry, so a large iced coffee with two shots of mocha espresso?” Tharn mumbled out, writing down the order he knew by heart. Flashing him a brighter smile, Type nodded and quickly paid for the beverage, their fingers touching softly as he handed him the money. Giving him another look, Tharn sorted out his change and made sure his fingers touched Type palm, watching as he twitched and the flush seemed to grow brighter before he pulled away and started to work on Type’s order. Moving his eyes from the cup he was preparing, Tharn silently watched as Type moved to his regular sitting place, observing as he placed his soccer ball back inside his bag and laid it on the ground underneath his chair. Finishing his order quickly, Tharn stared at the empty cup and sighed, deciding to just get it over with. Grabbing a sharpie, Tharn wrote Type’s name on the plastic before he wrote his own number, doing the same with a napkin that he would end up placing on the table. “For Type? Your iced coffee is ready!”

Snickering softly as he watched Type practically tripping over his backpack just to get towards the counter, Tharn flashed him a bright smile and handed the beverage and napkin to him. Leaning back as Type thanked him softly, Tharn watched him carefully as Type moved to sit back down. Keeping his eyes on him as Type glanced down at the writing on the cup, Tharn observed with raised eyebrows as Type almost upchucked his drink as he took in what he had written on the cup. Hiding a chuckle behind his hand, Tharn turned his back to continue his work as Type stared at the napkin with squinted eyes. 

“Again? Why does this guy keep putting his number on my stuff? What does he want?” Type muttered, examining the number before he traced his finger over it, feeling his heart beginning to beat just a bit faster in his chest. Glancing up from the napkin so he could secretly watch all of Tharn’s movements, Type swallowed the growing lump in his throat and sighed, moving to continue drinking his drink. He liked it when Tharn worked because whenever he made his drink, it always tasted wonderful and no offense to the other workers, but Tharn’s style always seemed to taste just a bit better. Letting out a hum as he thought, Type pulled out his phone and decided to send a text to Techno, telling him all the things that have been happening with Tharn leaving his number. “And send…”

Moving his gaze from his phone, Type let his eyes follow Tharn’s every movement as he began to clean up again before his phone vibrated, letting him know that Techno probably texted him back. Reading the message, Type felt the blood rise to his cheeks as he examined what Techno had said. He claimed that Tharn had a crush on him and was trying to get him to go out with him for weeks. He was also called an oblivious douche. Rolling his eyes, at the name calling, Type made a mental note to thump Techno at the side of his head before he sighed and stared at the number that was written on his cup and napkin. He had been getting these numbers for a while now...has Tharn been really trying to ask him out? Biting his lip in thought, Type fiddled with the napkin before he noticed someone walking up to his table, wearing a white smock like apron.

“Type? Can we talk for a minute? I’m on break,” Tharn asked, shooting him a hopeful look that made it hard for Type to say no. Taking in a deep breath, Type nodded towards the empty chair, and kept his gaze on the table as Tharn sat down across from him. Staying silent as he watched Type fiddling with the napkin, Tharn sighed and reached out, gently placing his hand on Type’s, not moving it even when Type twitched and finally looked up at him. Seeing the sincere shine that Tharn had in his gaze, Type relaxed a fraction. “I’ve been trying to do something for a while now, but it seems like my attempts haven’t really been noticed and all. I was just wondering if...you would maybe like to go out with me some time? We can go out to eat or maybe see a movie? Whatever you’d like to do.”

“O-oh...I um...I noticed everything but apparently, I’m an oblivious douche…” Type muttered, keeping his eyes lowered to their hands, finding his nerves beginning to disappear as Tharn’s thumb rubbed soothing circles into his knuckles. Snorting at what Type said, Tharn shook his head and squeezed his hand, gaining his attention back to the soft look Tharn had in his eyes. Feeling his heart flutter in his chest again, Type swallowed all the words he wanted to say and nibbled on his lip. Flushing brightly as he noticed the way Tharn watched the movement, Type licked his lips and met Tharn’s eyes head on. “I...I think I would like that...I have your number but um...do you want mine?”

Grinning brightly, Tharn nodded and gently handed his phone to Type, watch as he typed his number in before he handed it back. Staring at the phone with a huge smile, Tharn observed as Type read the napkin and placed his own number in his phone. Moving his gaze up to Tharn, Type shot him a soft smile before he noticed the time. Getting up from the chair, Type pulled the bag out from under his chair and slung it over his shoulder, watching as Tharn stood up as well, still wearing the bright and adorable smile on his face. Clearing his throat, Type shifted on his feet before he offered Tharn a shy smile. 

“Oh and Type? I really don’t mind how oblivious you are. I like you for you, yeah?” Tharn asked, stepping a bit closer to Type before they were literally almost chest to chest. Noticing how close Tharn was to him, Type held back the urge to step back in embarrassment before he watched Tharn lean in. Slamming his eyes shut, Type stayed perfectly still as Tharn observed his reaction. Knowing they were in a public place, Tharn smiled softly and pressed a soft kiss to Type’s cheek, pulling away with an understanding smile. Opening his eyes, Type shot him an appreciative smile before he reached out and shyly squeezed his hand. “I’ll text you later? We can go over the details of our date later, if that okay?”

“T-that’s fine,” Type whispered, feeling how soft Tharn’s hands were before he came back to Earth, letting Tharn go so he could get back to work. Shooting him one last smile, Tharn winked at him before he walked away, heading back behind the counter since he break was officially ending. Staying still for a moment, Type continue to observe Tharn, Type shook himself out of it and quickly jogged out of the cafe, pausing once he was out. Pulling out his phone, Type stared at Tharn’s number as butterflies developed in his stomach, Type couldn’t help the smile that rose on his face before he clicked off his name and moved to type Techno to tell him what happened. “Oblivious my ass, dude. You will not believe what just happened.”

Walking away from the coffee shop, Type couldn’t help but notice how he kept the napkin that had Tharn’s number on it. Holding it close to his chest, Type swallowed back the developing smile that was trying to take over his face before he moved quickly back towards the university, looking forward to placing the napkin where he kept the others. Unknown to everyone else, Type kept each and everything thing that Tharn wrote his number on like it was his own personal souvenirs, and no one but him and maybe Tharn later on will ever find out.

TharnType the Series Ep. 8 Review

I'm not ready for this episode yet people are very exited for the torture (?). Lol.

#TharnTypeEp8 #TharnTypeS #TharnTypetheSeries

It is unsual to see TumTar at the beginning but it is good to see them smile like that. Do you see that big smile from Tar when Tum plays the certain melody? Finally he can smile that free. Well suddenly sad again because of the birthday notification. Hurry up both of you need to clear everything.

Watch TharnType the Series Ep. 8 Engsub

Okay Ai Tharn we knew that you like dark chocolate now but don't emphasis it. We knew who has a darker skin. Yes, khun mom want to see him, why you don't say that he is yours. Hahaha. (I think he remembers what Type said about he is not ready yet, yes, okay, gentleman) Now here he is, the P'San Khrap. Seems he really close to this family already. Liau, wait, Tharn isn't that happy receiving the gift from him. What is this, miss the 14 of Tharn, may be he was a cry baby back then but not now P'. Yes, no more cute little boy, he already have a daddy's little boy at the dorm. Oiiii, such a supportive big bro, yes Tharn is more handsome than him and look at Tharn's smile. He probably said "I love you big bro" in silence.

Ai No.... Euuuu he should go with Tharn to his house so Tharn could introduce him to everyone there. SEE...... EVERYONE HEAR THAT, THIS IS THE REASON WHY TYPE WANTED TO TELL NO ONLY BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO WILL SPILL THE TEA. SO TYPE DOSEN'T NEED TO EXPLAIN OR DECLARE ANYTHING. LMAO. KEEP ASKING PEUN.... KEEP ASKING CHAMP, COME ON CORNER BOTH OF THEM. DAMN not this time guys... Let them "kin" each other, I mean kin the grilled meats. Look at No's apologies, how cute he is. Hahaha

Got an Audy bae... Ready to pick you up. Have a car but live in a condo. What else you could think Ai No beside it is more convenient for practice music, of course to let Type scream without anyone knows what they are doing. LOL.

Peun... Don't judge a book by its cover. The one who know the real Tharn is Type only between all of you. Also he is his wify so don't ever think to say anything bad about Tharn.

Techno really digs everything on Type, he is curious now about their relationship. Ai No... You are a good friend but I'm worry you will spill more. See, even he is the one who mention about P'San first to Type. Meung maeng....

Type.... make a wish for Tharn, please. You never make a wish on your birthday or never wish or pray for other for their own goodness? Why he can't understand? Yes, the bed is all yours don't feel ngao/lonely.

Yes, Long always remember his crush's birthday. I want to dig information from him. I'm sure that he likes Tharn. No excuses with those facebook updates. P'San was Tharn first love, O.K. may the war come then.

WHAT THE F*CKKKKKK. WHAT DID TYPE GIVE? WHAT THE, BAD, YOU BAD BOY. YOU ARE NOT DADDY'S LITTLE BOY ANYMORE. HOW MANY TIMES BOTH OF YOU WILL DO IT? MY RATIONAL THINKING HAS STOP WORKING. CUTE BUT NO NO NO... YOU WERE GOOD TO NOT TELLING AI NO ABOUT THE PRESENTS. "hurry up come, I'm already dying to use the presents" Tharn. WHATEVER LA MEUNG....

YES, YOU HAVE ALL THE FLAVORS, WE KNEW YOUR FAVORITE IS C.H.O.C.H.O.L.A.T.E. He is starving for food not for S yet. Hurry up get him one then do the rounds later. Look at that satisfying smile on Type's face. Why I can't resist his cuteness though. Wow he opened the wraped present, not good boy not good, the owner didn't know it yet. Just say it you just got jealous. I smell something after this, what will Tharn do? Ai Tharn what will you do? Don't tell me that you the one who will start a fire between Type and P'San.

SEE.... TECHNO SPILLED IT AGAIN TO HIS FRIENDS, THE QUEENS. OIII AI NOO..... a little bit but (sigh). "I think he wants to keep it secret to" Type. Hell no, we all know the truth. "then why you still upset, shouldn't you be crazy in love with your boyfriend?" Techno. They were intended to be crazy in love but were canceled Ai No. Yes, help them make up so they can make love later. Mmmm... What?

Ow that smile comes from Tharn. I know there is something odd. Not funny Tharn, if you make, what I think, come true. Type really such an honest person, he keeps the emotion on his face while greeting P'San. YOU ARE JEALOUS AI TYPE. P'San's radar is on, get over that hand P, don't let people burn in jealousy. AI TECHNOOO WHY HE IS SUCH A J*RK. YOU SAID YOU WANNA HELP THEM TO MAKE UP. I can see Tharn don't want him to join too. Ai No... Why? Even Tharn is worry now about Type. I really want to punch this PEUN on his face, WHY HE MENTIONED THAT GIRL. SUCH A TRIAL FRIEND. That hand P' yud leui... Stop it... Now you understand right? Ai No... I can see your reaction, I'll punch you if you still act innocent. F*CK OFF BRO YOU GET ON MY NERVE. STOP BEING CURIOUS AND YOU STILL CAN LAUGH LIKE THAT. DONE WITH YOU. BYE... BETRAYAL. SEE..... I know he doesn't like raw food that's why he ordered the grilled one. But he never tells Tharn because he feels uneasy to say it when Type ordered a lot of raw food. But, it will become another problem if both of them don't talk about it. Bad situation, bad friend. Say it that he is your, Type, or silence and talk later with your present doing (coughing).

A mature and a childish. This will happen. Now Tharn take control, he is upset not to Type but P'San, to much spoiler. Yes, he didn't spit it because his boyfriend fed him and now he is a mature one he can eat raw as he likes at least he doesn't have an allergic. If he has an allergic and never tell Type, this will be problematic. So, just forget the past and go on. Hahhhh, this P'San, he never gives up. I think he still hoping for Tharn to be his again. That's why he always come every year to get more chances. That's what will happen Type, if you never tell other who Tharn is, people will keep coming to bother both of you except you are mature enough to not think about it and live what you both should live.

I'm speechless.... Type, you are more complicated than a girl who say "whatever" when she is asked what she want to eat and go for a war later because she doesn't give any clue. Jebb, why my heart hurt, this is not my problem, this is yours. You are tiring even Tharn said that too to his brother. Yes, you never listen, everything he said those are what he likes and what he hates, you are the one who never learn, you are the one who never understand, never ask, never curious about something might he likes or hate the most. What you think is only those c*ndoms. You even don't know that he likes chocolate. Stubborn, childish, stupid, heartless, what else guys? It is hurting me to see Tharn crying again. He always be honest, he knew you really like that restaurant, he ate and didn't spit. Appreciate it bro. Now he said, P'San is more understand him, Think bro think, don't be so emotional, you look like a girl on their period. LOL. He even said he hate "break up" the most. He already tired, give him more happiness. Don't make him like me, I already tired to find one, I even think to live my life alone. So don't ever make him to freeze his heart. A frozen heart will be very hard to melt. Meung maeng.... Assh*le.

Arghhh I hate this rollercoaster. Yes Type yess I forgive you such adorable human being. But Tharn seems thinking about your words na. So, be careful. His heart is weak, he might be through a hardest path before that you would never think. "You won't never suffer as much as I do anyway" Tharn. Jebb mak Ai Tharn. You stabbing my heart, we are the same don't say that.

So that is the real story about P'San and Tharn. Why it reminds me something. Team up with Type, yes, I hate him too. Thorn was took care of Thanya to hospital and he banged Tharn, he has a thick face seriously even Thorn was hit him that much. Of course he was that cute when he was 14 but it wasn't the right way to bang an under age. Poor Tharn, he was innocent that is why he gave P'San in. We talk about the comfort not the rational. Suddenly blow my emotion, it seriously reminds me something that I don't want to recall. F*ck. I can see something in Thorn's eyes, he knew that his friend is good but also dangerous. Thorn knew his goodness and badness, yet Tharn knew only his goodness. Ironic. Why we are so connected Ai Tharn. (take a deep breath). Marked, P'San.

"If a woman ask you to sleep with her, don't you want to do it too?" Tharn. Bro, mind your age! May be I'm an old fashioned but I'm agree with the statement that we can't do these kind of stuff under 17. I mean take a look on the safest age. If something happen, you will lose your teenage time while you can play and hangout with friends as much as you like before you are busy with those time consuming work. Well if you are gay yes that pregnant will never happen yet it concerns to moral lessons. Others may think were born to be a gay or trapped in a wrong gender. In my situation it is not about you were born to be a gay but it is because you were experienced with a guy in that young age. The age where you were build your pesonality who you want to become. And may be Tharn did the same thing to Tar like P'San did to him. Experience lead him to be like P'San but thanks God that he is mature enough to differentiate what is good and what is bad. The comfort lead him to a guy, first thing that will stuck forever in mind, that's why he couldn't do it with a girl. The feeling and the comfort for man and woman are different. Some people easily to change it but for people like Tharn, me and Type, we already had the experience since the younger age, and we can't change it easily. It already stucked in the heart and mind. More complicated if you bring a word 'sin' to here for people who have religion like me, man, frustrating. I had what Tharn had, I did what P'San did and it has been lead me to live a life full of guilty. But, gratefully they did with girl. I don't want them to be influenced by me about this thing. That's why I whised for a frozen heart, I don't want others to be influenced, until he came melt the ice only by his attitude and went away after he knew me. Then it freezing again. But thanks to him that I can felt the warm again even though it was short and wasn't influenced. That's why I love to see Tharn and Type or every couple in a drama having good relationship, let them be happy even it is a forbidden love. They have a right to be happy.

I do really love the way of Type for making up. I can't resist. He is so, cute. Sugar rush.... Yes Type, P'San is great to be hated. Why don't you tell him that Tharn is yours? See, Tharn also ask the same question. But you're not ready yet. Fine... Slowly, I understand, he also understand. "Don't forget what you have said" Type. He will never forget, Type, as long as you can have a good talk if both of you facing another problem.

MY GOD SUCH A TRIAL SENIOR. I'm done with P'San. Bad ending, next episode will full of tension again. This drama is complicated and tiring, even it just about a story of two persons.

See you soon pal.... I hope you like reading my review. I'm sorry if I sometimes put my personal matter in it. Hopefully it may help you to understand the situation or people like us. Or may be one of you have the same problem. Don't hesitate to tell me. We are at the same wheel. Cheer up...

Ok back with chapter 3 of The Sign book! Really interesting developments this chapter.

We start off with lots of training. Tharn did realize that Phaya had a nightmare and tried to ask if he was ok which got them into trouble for talking while running. They are broken into teams and have to accomplish some kind of mission. Singh ends up being in charge because he's like a super genius with 10 degrees. Chart is well Chart.

Apparently during shower time, Tharn cannot keep his eyes off of Phaya. Yai tries to get him to stop but Phaya doesn't mind being ogled by Tharn apparently. Tharn thinks he's not gay...but we know that's wrong. Glad that the show is much much gayer. Anyways Phaya pats Tharn on his cheek and Tharn never wants to wash his face again where Phaya touched him?

They go to dinner and when they get back Chart and his buddies are blocking the door. Everyone prepared for a fight but he wants to apologize to Singh. The others chime in to apologize too. Singh graciously accepts.

Tharn has some kind of rash or itch on his back and tries to apply lotion thinking everyone was sleeping. Phaya notices and offers to apply it for him. Uh no one is asleep? And they just listen as Phaya asks if he's being too rough and Tharn tells him he's being too gentle. Tharn finally says he's sleepy but Phaya doesn't want to stop.

More training. The log carrying scene was relatively uneventful. Yai had wanted to train for carrying a bag of rice up hill but Tharn said no because it made him tired...should've listened to Yai! Only 35 out of 40 recruits made it through week one.

Ooooh water based training and Phaya has almost drowned a lot. Phaya is hearing the voice from his dreams each time he goes under water. This is what he hears:

My precious...I shall reclaim it...

What is your entitlement to deprive her from my presence?

A man of your kind always torments her soul; I shall not let her suffer again! I shall reclaim her!

Phaya struggles more and more each time he goes under water and Tharn is very worried about him but Phaya refuses to tell him about the voice. Tharn sits on the edge of his bunk and says he has a secret too and leans down to whisper in his ear. Everyone is awake and watching/listening to them and yeah they aren't happy about it. Questioning Yai if Tharn ever tried something with him. Book Yai says he would beat him up if he tried and is grossed out at even being asked. And so far show Yai is FAR superior to the book version.

Anyways while that was happening Tharn told Phaya about his premonitions. Phaya doesn't quite believe it but feels like if it's true maybe Tharn knows more about that day when they were boys so he tells him about the monster. He describes it as a snake with a crest and red eyes. Tharn immediately knows it was a Naga. Tharn doubts it was real until he remembers the monk told him that many mystical creatures live in the river and that the village has a strong belief in the legend of the Naga. He tries to assure Phaya that it's a good thing. A blessing. But Phaya insists it came to kill him, so Tharn suggests he ask for forgiveness but Phaya and his grandmother have tried that and many other things. And each time Phaya sees new events. Tharn suggests they go visit the monks once training is done.

Everyone is still trying to ignore them and just sleep. Singh is especially interested in what they are doing noting that they touch hands which is kinda cute. And that's all for this chapter!

BL Actors & Age Dynamics

So I find it interesting what age a Thai actor is contrasted to his BL partner, because age respect is such a big deal in Thailand. One would think, therefore, that regardless of the scripted age, it makes sense to cast an older actor in the seme role, simply for cultural reasons. 

Couples where the seme actor is older than the uke:

BohnDuen - My Engineer

FighterTutor - Why R U?

ForthBeam - 2 Moons 2

KongpobArthit - SOTUS

KornIn - Until We Meet Again

MarkKit - Gen Y 

PhunNoh - Love Sick

PickRome - Puppy Honey ( also KhaiThird - Theory of Love, obvs) 

PeteKao - the Kiss series

RamKing - My Engineer

SarawatTine - 2gether

SoloGui - Oxygen 

TharnType

WinTeam - Until We Meet Again

This kind of casting plays on an existing cultural dynamic, making it easier on the actors.

Couples where the seme actor is older than the uke and so are the characters:

Pick & Rome

Fighter & Tutor

Win & Team

Bohn & Duen

Korn & In

Couples where the seme actor is older than the uke but the characters are the same age:

Phun & Noh

Tharn & Type

Pete & Kao

Khai & Third

Sarawat & Tine 

Couples where the seme actor is older than the uke but the characters are the opposite:

Kongpob & Arthit 

Solo & Gui 

Ram & King 

Mark & Kit 

Couples where the seme actor is younger than the uke:

AePete - Love By Chance

DeanPharm - Until We Meet Again 

FrameBook - Make it Right

KornKnock - Together With Me

MingKit - 2 Moons 2 

SaifahZon - Why R U?

TeeFuse - Make it Right

TinCan - Love By Chance

ThunMes - He’s Coming to Me

VeeMark - The En of Love

This kind of casting plays against cultural norms, and likely makes it a lot harder on the actor playing the seme role.

Couples where the uke actor is older than the seme and so is the character:

Ming & Kit

Couples where the uke actor is older than the seme but they are playing the same age:

Tee & Fuse

Tin & Can

Ae & Pete

Korn & Knock

Frame & Book

Couples where the uke actor is older than the seme but they are playing reverse ages:

Thun & Mes

Saifah & Zon

Vee & Mark

Dean & Pharm

This really surprised me because of the actors’ dynamic with each other on tour. Even though he is younger, Ohm always looks after Fluke in a very older brother manner. Jimmy does this with Tommy, and Yin does this with War (or tries to). It’s almost like the act of portraying older + seme means the actors must continue that performance dynamic during promotion. 

Fluke also calls Ohm P’Ohm. So either Ohm’s age is listed wrong in my sources or Fluke is doing this as a kind of affectionate sarcastic call back to his character’s chronic P’Deaning. Or it’s a reconstructed dynamic based on their personalities. 

Others In This Thai Language for BL Watchers Series

More on which BL couples use which register and which pronouns with each other and why it’s interesting from a BL character and story perspective

Why Thai nouns are great & fun

Why Thai verbs are great & easy

The Thai Verb “to be” has only 3 different forms

How registers/linguistics impact age dynamics also affects Thai actors’ relationships with each other so I drew up a list of Thai actor age brackets

Explain that Word? Ter

Chapter 18 where the new case really kicks off!

Tharn greets his grandma in Chiang Mai. He goes to see his mom and she's very sick. She's been ill a week and the doctors can't figure out why. She fainted and her heart stopped for no apparent reason. The mom didn't want Tharn to know but grandma felt he needed to know. He goes to get a charm that the monk gave him when he visited with Phaya and puts it under his mom's pillow. She asks where Phaya is. She wants to meet the man who could save her son. Tharn explains he has to work and is taking care of his leave. He prays that she doesn't die. He doesn't want to be alone and isn't ready to lose his mother. She falls asleep.

Tharn questions his grandma and asks if anything happened just before his mom got sick. She says there's a mine in the forest. The mine has been dumping toxic waste and people are getting sick. His mom went to confront the mine owners. She was collecting evidence and taking villagers to be examined and collecting samples of water and soil. She contacted the government but things were suddenly shut down because the owner of the mine has connections. And the villagers refused to help because they were afraid they would lose their homes. Annnnnnnnd Mr. Motri is an investor in the mine.

UGH Tharn wants to ask Chalotorn for help. He texts him to ask for help finding experts. He's determined to help his mother help the villagers no matter what. His grandmother says the land used to belong to their ancestors and that's why his mom kept going until she fell ill.

Villagers have come to visit. There's a whoosh of wind and a whisper in Tharn's ears. There's a middle aged man and woman, a young man a couple of years younger than Tharn, and a grizzled old man. The old man tensed when he met eyes with Tharn. They came to visit because she always helped them and a monk told them she was ill due to a spell cast on her. Tharn had sensed something wrong inside his mothers room which is why he put the charm under her pillow. The old man is here to exorcise the spell so she will get better. The grandma thinks it's worth trying. Tharn felt there was something fishy.

Back at the office, the captain is upset because Tharn asks for more time off and they have a big case. Phaya is upset looking at his phone. He says he's taking a day off. The captain is even more upset now. Phaya doesn't care what the captain thinks. He needs to see Tharn today. Thongthai interrupts and says they all have to take the day off to go to Chiang Mai. She sighs and tells him to wait and they will travel together. And to have Tharn find them a place to stay. They will leave in a couple of hours after the captain consults with local officials.

Back to Tharn's family house, he's speaking with an environmental expert that Chalotorn recommended. He's reading the initial report and will get started right away. Chalotorn is there as well and Tharn thanks him for his help. Then asks if he wants to go see the lotus together. It's beautiful but reminds Chalotorn of when Tharn was Vassarat. She used to tuck lotus petals in her hair. Chalotorn asks if he and Phaya have really thought through seeing each other. Asking if their families would approve. Tharn says he isn't going to worry about the future and be happy now. Chalotorn looks at Tharn in distress at hearing that Tharn trusts Phaya. Chalotorn wanted a chance to earn his love but Tharn/Vassa never took their eyes off of Phaya/Noppharuj.

The phone rings and Tharn says he has to answer it. As he talks to Phaya on the phone, Chalotorn thinks of how many lives have gone by and in each one Tharn's love is for Phaya and only Phaya, devoted but unloved and unprotected. He wonders why when Vassarat loved him and him alone. Tharn comes back and says he has to find rooms for the whole DCI team and they have to go back.

Tharn couldn't find rooms for them in time so the team is staying at his grandmothers homestay. The captain asks how his mom is doing and he confirms she's doing much better. Tharn goes and greets Phaya who is sulking because Chalotorn was there before him. Tharn closes and locks the door and rushes to kiss Phaya. They kiss until Tharn has to break it off to catch his breath. Phaya takes the opportunity to kiss his neck before taking his mouth again. Tharn can't believe three days absence has made Phaya miss him this much. Phaya is squeezing his butt now. Phaya pulls him closer and whispers in his ear that its getting hard and to help him. Phaya licks his ear and Tharn lowers himself to his knees. Tharn kisses Phaya's tattoo before taking him in his mouth. Phaya wants to finish together so he pulls him off. He picks up Tharn and Tharn wraps his legs around Phaya's waist as they grind their way to climax. Phaya asks when Tharn is going to let him in. Tharn says he's afraid of pain as someone told him the first time is painful. Tharn says he could top Phaya instead. Apparently Phaya got Tharn drunk in an attempt to get him to let him do penetration and only stopped because Tharn cried? I already liked the show version now but that's just gross.

Anyways they shower together before joining the team downstairs. The local police are not cooperating and not allowing them to assist in the case. They got two anonymous files sent to them from two different people. One is much more detailed than the other. They think one of the local officers is helping from the inside secretly. They separate to go to their rooms. As Phaya and Tharn are leaving they hear three gunshots. Khem and Singh shot at each other? Singh says they saw something but couldn't believe what he just saw. Tharn steps in the room and he feels wind and a coldness and suddenly sees a bunch of different scenarios. Tharn falls to ground like he's having a seizure. Thongthai calls for an ambulance. Yai tries to approach Tharn but Khem stops him and says: it must be him. It must be him for sure. Papa, Khem wants to go home. And the captain just watched in disbelief.
