Do you think you can steal from me?
You...
Shane! Stop!
It's me, Sunshine!
Sunshine?
So,
what were you doing?
I was trying to find out for sure.
Pol is your dad, isn't he?
What are you talking about?
This is Pol's letter.
That's right. It's his letter,
but that doesn't mean he's my dad.
Are you saying your mom married Jom, then?
Did she marry Jom?
Did she marry him or not?
- Don't. - Tell me right now,
- or I'll tear this up. - Sunshine.
- I'll tear it to pieces. - Sunshine.
You can't.
This belongs to my mom. It means a lot to her.
If you tore it, it would be like tearing her heart.
All right, I won't.
If you really wanted to know,
why didn't you just ask me?
You didn't need to do this.
Well, it was exciting.
So,
are you going to tell me now?
How many joss sticks should we light?
What about nine?
Are you asking to marry me or are you praying to win the lottery?
I'm praying to win the lottery.
What I mean is,
marrying you is like winning the jackpot.
What a smooth talker you are.
Let's see if my mom gives us permission.
Sure.
So,
only one joss stick, then.
You're the only one for me.
Madam,
you can leave us now.
Why did you tell my mom to go away?
I can explain. I meant that
she doesn't need to worry about you now.
Are you sure?
Of course I am.
Tell her then.
Lying to the dead is a terrible sin, you know.
Madam,
I have a confession to make.
Madam,
I know
I'm not the best man for Taew,
but I love her the most.
I know that love can't feed us.
And even with wealth, one can still go hungry.
But I promise you
I won't let Taew go hungry,
and I will love her until the day I die.
There is one thing
I'm not so confident about.
What's that?
About that,
I've never done it either.
In that case,
let's learn how to do it together.
- Are you crazy? - What?
Stop it.
That's a sweet reminder of how innocent things used to be.
In those days, they were each other's first, right?
Not like these days.
By the way,
how many girls have you been with before me?
Why do you want to know?
You must be a womanizer like Pol.
No, we're not alike. For Pol,
there was only one woman.
Who was that?
Who do you think it is?
Taew.
I'm so sorry.
It's all right.
Did you want something?
Right.
Do you remember the day we went to see a movie?
I actually wanted to tell you something.
Why are you telling me this now?
Why didn't you tell me then?
I know that you
don't want to hear it.
I wrote everything in a letter.
You can read it
when you feel like it.
I'm not taking it.
There's no point in knowing now.
Please take it.
I will feel better.
I said I don't want it, Pol!
Hello.
- What? - No one's answering.
Hey, kid.
That's a microphone.
You speak into it. You won't hear anything,
but everyone else can hear you, so just say whatever you want to say.
Ladies and gentlemen,
at this moment,
I, Jom Homchan,
have some good news to announce.
I have successfully won the heart of the woman I love.
Would you like to know who she is?
She's the woman I love the most.
She's the most beautiful woman in the world.
She's also the most lovable woman.
She is Chef Taew Meena.
Chef Taew and I are getting married soon. I just wanted to inform you.
Chef Taew,
why didn't you tell us you were getting hitched?
Congratulations, Chef Taew!
Did you hear it outside too?
Everyone in the hotel heard it.
Everyone envies you, Chef Taew.
Taew,
now I know why you've been glowing.
You're going to have a husband.
I hope it will be a long marriage.
Thanks.
Taew.
Congratulations.
I would like to...
Pol.
You heard it, didn't you? Was it clear enough?
You see, when I was speaking, I couldn't really hear my voice.
I don't know if it was too loud.
- It was. - It was.
Was it? I'm so sorry.
I just couldn't contain myself.
I'm about to marry Taew.
Pol,
be happy for me.
Sure.
Of course I will.
I've known you for so long.
The thing I gave you,
can I have it back?
I already threw it away.
That's good.
I have to go.
Goodbye.
Taew,
what did he give you?
Did you hear that?
- Yes. - Yes.
It was nothing.
He just gave me
some beef curry.
I tried it and it upset my stomach, so I threw it away.
Taew, I'm home.
You're back?
Taew.
We're tying the knot in a few days.
We don't have to rush into anything.
Rush into what?
- What the hell are you talking about? - What?
Well, you were lying there, smiling sweetly.
I thought...
Keep your creepy thoughts to yourself.
What creepy thoughts?
It's natural.
Just stop thinking about it.
It's not like that.
I just want to make you happy on our wedding day.
Most importantly, I have planned everything.
You can't cook on our wedding day.
If I don't, who will?
It's not like we can afford to hire a chef.
Yes, we can.
Who?
Chef Jom.
You can't.
How can the groom do the cooking?
I can prepare it in advance.
I don't want you to be exhausted.
The day we become husband and wife,
I want you to be completely relaxed.
About the wedding,
tell me how you want it.
I don't want anything.
Just a simple wedding is fine.
Come on now.
Just tell me. I want to hear about your dream wedding.
I haven't thought that much about it.
Just a small one is fine.
All right then.
How many tables?
I like the number nine.
Nine tables.
Let's have 99.
- Ninety-nine? - Yes.
Have you ever seen a two-tier wedding cake?
- Yes, I have. - I'll have a 29-tier cake.
Twenty-nine?
And at the venue,
I would like to have
a swan ice sculpture in the center.
A life-sized one.
As for the bands that will do the music,
in the morning, I'll have McIntosh.
During the day,
I want
Grand Ex'.
For the evening party, I want Puen.
Can you do all that for me?
No.
I can't do
any of that.
See?
Like I said, I don't want anything.
But what you just said is no small feat.
Well,
you asked me about my dream.
So, I told you about it.
But maybe we don't need to turn our dreams into reality.
Reality can be better than a dream.
Thank you
for understanding.
There is one thing I can do
to make your dream come true.
What's that?
Our wedding
will be held in a hotel.
Which hotel?
Your hotel.
No, it's so expensive.
It's all right.
I'm good at negotiating.
- You... - Or Taew will quit.
I tried to persuade her not to do this,
but
she said that she must do this,
or you wouldn't budge.
She said
you're so stingy, and you don't appreciate your employees.
Hey.
Okay, then.
We'll do it for free!
- That's right. - Are you sure?
Come on, you have it all wrong.
I'm not stingy at all.
Where did you hear that?
Since you're getting married,
I have something important to tell you.
Remember this,
the most important part of a wedding
is the food.
It can help your marriage.
How?
Every dish served at your wedding must be auspicious.
Auspicious?
Yes.
For example,
shumai.
It will keep your marriage passionate,
just like when you started dating.
Right.
Curried fish custard.
Whatever you two talk about,
you will always agree.
You will never argue.
Next,
sticky rice.
You two will always stick together like sticky rice.
And larb.
You can make it with pork, chicken, or duck.
This will bring you good luck.
What I've just said
isn't really important.
It's mundane. Everybody does it.
What?
What's not mundane
is the tip I'm about to give you.
If you do as I say,
you'll be in seventh heaven.
Listen carefully, Jom.
What?
Really?
Yes.
That's it.
What?
She wants us to make hell chili paste?
Is she out of her mind?
Slow down.
Keng said it was a family tradition.
It has been passed down from her father's father's father...
Just give me a summary.
Well, on the day before our wedding,
she said to make hell chili paste and eat it.
Is there such a belief?
This is like a trick.
The couple goes through hell,
so afterwards, they'll go to heaven.
Okay, I'll help you with the cooking.
I didn't think you would believe in this kind of thing.
We have nothing to lose.
I want to go to heaven too,
but you have to cook it.
- Why? - Well, you want to take me to heaven,
so you have to learn how to make hell chili paste.
Like this?
Let the fried chili rest and cool down, then roughly grind it.
After grinding,
let the chili rest.
Next, mash sun-dried black kingfish as finely as you can.
Let it simmer. When it gets sticky,
add fried garlic,
salt, and sugar.
Let it simmer for half an hour.
How is it?
This
can't be called hell chili paste.
We should call it heaven chili paste.
The flavors are perfect.
So, our mission is complete.
Not yet.
It will be complete once we have finished it.
- We have to eat all of it? - Yes.
Taew,
since we are getting married,
why don't we try sleeping with the curtain open?
Don't be crazy.
We can't.
Mom is watching.
We won't open it, Madam.
Just be patient.
We'll be married in seven days.
Okay.
Can I give you a little something?
What is it?
Is it another hug?
No, not this time.
Move closer to the curtain, please.
On a scale of ten, what do I get?
Five.
Only five?
Well, the curtain is in the way.
So, would I get a ten without the curtain?
I don't know.
Let's wait until the curtain's gone, okay?
- Is this true? - Yes.
I can't believe this.
I'm in shock.
What's going on?
There's a notice from the manager.
What's it about?
"The hotel has appointed Chef Taew as head chef of the Thai kitchen
to replace Chef Pol,
effective immediately."
What about Pol?
He quit.
- Right. - Where did he go?
I don't know. The notice doesn't say.
Someone just put this up a moment ago.
- What? - What?
Oh, no!
Damn, it's all ruined.
Jom,
I'm back.
Is something burning?
Hey! Jom!
Why did you leave the rice steaming without checking it? It's burned now.
If I had been late, the house might have burned down.
Jom,
if cooking for the wedding is too hard, you don't have to do it.
I can do it.
Jom,
did you hear what I said?
Are you okay?
I've read it.
I threw it away, which means I chose not to read it.
Why don't you want to read it?
Are you afraid you'll change your mind if you know he loves you?
Jom,
can you stop this nonsense?
I didn't read it because I already chose you.
You chose me
because Pol didn't choose you.
Jom,
if you don't stop thinking like this,
I won't put up with it.
And another thing,
you have no right to go through my things...
All right!
From now on, I'll stay out of your business!
This will be the last time.
Since I've already started it, I'm going to finish it.
You didn't want to read it, right?
I'll read it to you instead.
"Written at my home in Bang Khun Phrom,
on the night of the quarter moon.
I remember that day so well,
the day I rejected you."
That day, you must have been so hurt
and so disappointed in me.
However, you didn't know
that seeing you upset
hurt me just as badly.
It felt like I was stabbing myself in the heart.
I know it may be too late
to tell you how I feel.
I've kept it hidden,
deep down in my heart.
But I'm afraid
that if I don't let it out,
my chest will explode
and my heart will break apart.
Before I met you,
my life was like the soil in a field,
cracking apart under the hot sun all day.
When you came into my life,
it was like a drop of heavenly rain falling on my heart.
The cracks in the soil
were getting filled in
every time I saw your face.
You know,
I wanted to tell you how I felt hundreds of times,
but I had to keep it to myself.
The torment was like a knife to my heart.
The woman I loved was right in front of me,
but I couldn't tell her.
Taew, do you know
the reason
I couldn't tell you the truth?
It's because
I was married and I have a daughter.
I love my daughter with all my heart,
but I didn't feel that way about my wife.
We stayed together out of necessity,
not out of love.
I tried for years to ask her for a divorce,
and I have finally done it.
Today, I'm like a bird that is free to fly to the woman I love with all of my heart.
But I don't know if it's too late.
Now that you know,
it's okay if you want to go back to Pol.
You don't have to marry me.
Congratulations.
Do you love me now?
Do you have to ask?
Hey,
Taew.
Jom,
I need to talk to you about something.
If you're here to break up with me,
I understand.
You never understand anything.
I'm not here to break up with you.
I'm here to tell you I love you.
I'm tired of us avoiding each other.
It's a waste of time, since I love you.
Do you really love me?
What do I have to do to make you believe me?
Do you believe me now?
People say,
"Forgive, but don't forget."
That might work the first time,
but it won't work the second time.
It can't end like a Korean drama.
Tell me what Jom did next.
Where did your mom go?
To be continued.
If you're waiting for Kelly to come back to finish the story,
don't bother.
Why not?
Because
I know everything.
I talked to Kelly.
Whatever happens, she will never come back to you.
