Scene 1:
F4 boys along with Aum and Hazel walk out of the resort.
Thyme: I guess, we'll have to say goodbye here. I have to go somewhere. So, I'll be leaving. Hazel, see you tomorrow at office.
Kavin: Can I come with you? Ren and MJ can drop the ladies home.
Thyme: Sure, no problem! There's enough space for you.
(*They say their goodbyes and Thyme and Kavin speed away in their car)
Aum, MJ, Ren and Hazel are walking on the pavement.
MJ: The fact that we couldn't find a parking here and now have to walk almost half a mile.
Ren: It's nice, the weather is lovely
MJ's shoelace is untied. Aum sees it.
Aum: Hey! Your shoelace.
MJ bends to tie his shoelace, but struggles as his hand hurts from the last day's cut-wound. Aum notices him writhing and remembers about his wound. She bends down and ties his shoelace. Their eyes meet for a moment. Ren and Hazel look at them from behind and then look at each other in astonishment.
MJ: Khop jai krub! (*Thank you in Thai)
(*Aum doesn't reply)
(*Hazel and Ren slow down to give MJ and Aum some space)
MJ: Are you still upset with me? (*Looks at her) It's been years now.
Aum: (*pauses) Hmm.
MJ: You know what? I grew up rich and unlike my f4 friends I had a quite cool and affectionate family but you see we were into this mafia trap and
Aum: And?
MJ: Nothing! Why am I telling you this? You hate me because I'm rich. That's it, that's all.
Aum: (*in a low voice) Not because...
(*They reach the car, Aum sighs)
MJ sits on the driver's seat, Ren on the passenger seat while Aum and Hazel make themselves comfortable in the backseat.
Scene 2:
Thyme and Kavin are in the car.
Thyme: Tell me, what is the scene between you and Kaning?
Kavin: MJ told you how it was. How hopelessly I got drunk and spoke rubbish. But another more serious thing happened.

Thyme: (*raises his eyebrows) What?Kavin: The other day she had rung me up and I guess I was in the bar and someone else answered which offended Kaning even more

Thyme: (*raises his eyebrows) What?
Kavin: The other day she had rung me up and I guess I was in the bar and someone else answered which offended Kaning even more. Again, yesterday, I went to see her at Maytee O', but ended up fighting with her because of a call from a number saved in my phone as babygirl.
Thyme: Shiaaa, Kavin, why would you do that? Anyone would be offended in that case.
Kavin: Ikr, but that stupid woman whom I met the other day at the bar, she was forcing herself onto me, she sat on my lap as I tried to push her away. She said her name was babygirl, so I called her so and I'm pretty sure that she must've saved her number in my phone while I was drunk.
Thyme: Goodness! This is a great mess. Now I'm really worried, Kavin. You need to clean this shit up, otherwise
Kavin: (*sighs) I know, I have tried talking to her but she isn't willing to listen. She doesn't answer my calls, no replies to my message. God knows how I'm supposed to solve this problem.
Scene 3:
Thyme is in his bedroom. He tries to call Gorya but finds her phone out of reach.
Scene 4:
Kaning is closing Maytee O'. Uncle Ga comes.
Uncle Ga: Hoiii! You are here?
Kaning: Chai! I was there at the shop the entire day. Where were you?
Uncle Ga: But what about the outing? (*Bites his tongue the moment he realises he messed up)
Kaning: (*angrily) You knew about it, Uncle Ga? Why didn't you tell me?
