(What can make people
fall in love with each other?)
(Looks?)
(Taste?)
(Scent?)
(Voice?)
(Bagel: Actually, if your dog comes over
and leans against your leg…)
[DOG LOVERS, EVER LOVED SOMEONE
SO MUCH YOU TURNED INTO A DOG?]
(Bagel: don’t go anywhere just yet.)
[DOG LOVERS, EVER LOVED SOMEONE
SO MUCH YOU TURNED INTO A DOG?]
(Bagel: Your pup is telling you
this is a safe place.)
(Right.)
TWO MONTHS AGO
(Who would’ve thought I’d fall in love
with someone because of his voice?)
(It’s so damn crazy.)
[BAGEL SMOKED SALMON’S SPEAKING.]
(Bagel: If their tails are stiff and wagging
rapidly, that means they’re being cautious.)
(Bagel: So if you want to know
whether your dog is happy…)
(Bagel: don’t just look at their tail.
Look at their eyes, too.)
Why do dogs lick their paws?
Anyone with a dog should know this.
Dogs lick their paws because
something may be wrong with their health.
Behaviors that show
dogs are attached to their owners
What are eight things dogs shouldn’t eat?
Today, I’m going to teach you
how to brush your dog’s teeth.
First, pick up the toothbrush.
If you can’t do it yourself,
Buddy Heal’s here to help every pup.
One, your dog walks
or runs around in circles.
That’s a sign…
(Bagel: I don’t know if I’ve turned into a dog,
but I’ve got a story of my own, too.)
Match!
(Bagel: Well )
(Bagel: I have a secret crush
on a close friend.)
(Bagel: He’s an artist.)
(Bagel: He hates chaos.)
(Bagel: And he’s pretty dense.)
[DOG LOVERS, EVER LOVED SOMEONE
SO MUCH YOU TURNED INTO A DOG?]
(Bagel: I try to show him that I like him.)
[DOG LOVERS, EVER LOVED SOMEONE
SO MUCH YOU TURNED INTO A DOG?]
(Bagel: He’s the only person I tag on Instagram.)
(What’s even crazier is that…)
(I fell in love
and got my heart broken instantly.)
(And you know what the craziest thing is?)
What?
(You calling me first thing in the morning
with your nonsense, dickhead.)
(What’s wrong with you?)
(All you do is gush about him all day.)
I’ve had enough.
(I need to stop.)
It’s time I accepted that he and I…
can only go so far.
(You can’t say that.)
You haven’t gotten anywhere with him yet.
You can stop hitting on Moth.
I’m over him, dude.
Fine.
Where are you, anyway?
What’s with that horny voice?
Horny, my ass.
I’m just whispering.
Yeah, that.
Why are you whispering?
Moth’s sleeping.
I’m hanging up now.
[TEN: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?]
[PUN: I’M WORKING.]
[TEN: HAVE YOU EATEN?]
[PUN: I HAVE. YOU?]
[TEN: I ALREADY HAVE TOO.]
[PUN: SENT A STICKER.]
[TEN: GOING FOR A RUN TODAY?]
[PUN: MY ANKLE HURTS.]
[TEN: YOU’VE BEEN BUSY LATELY?]
[TEN: WILL YOU BE AT THE CLINIC TODAY?]
[TEN: YOU’VE BEEN BUSY?]
[PUN: SORRY, TEN.
I’VE BEEN SWAMPED.]
[TEN: THAT’S OKAY.]
[TEN: GOOD MORNING.]
(Hong: Why are you up so early, Mr. Bagel?)
[IT’S FINE IF THEY DON’T LOVE US—
OUR DOGS DO!]
(Bagel: I usually get up early.
I’m having breakfast, too.)
(Bagel: I was feeling a little lonely…)
(Bagel: …so I came here
to chat with you guys.)
[PUN: SORRY, TEN.
I’VE BEEN SWAMPED.]
(Hong: Great.
We missed your voice. Mr. Bagel.)
(Hong: I actually have a question for you, Mr. Bagel.)
(Hong: My dog looks really drowsy.)
(Hong: I don’t know if it’s because
his stomach is bloated)
(Hong: …or because I haven’t had
enough time to take him out for a run.)
(Sean: Of course. I bet you spend all your time courting that guy.)
(Bagel: What guy, Mr. Sean?)
(Bagel: Mr. Hong, are you in love?)
(Bagel: You can share
your story with us if you want.)
Shit.
Do you have to be so harsh?
I thought you left.
How could I leave?
The job isn’t finished yet.
I went downstairs to buy something.
What you have isn’t my size.
You don’t want to?
Okay.
I understand.
It’s fine.
You said the job isn’t finished?
Then finish it.
Do you like it soft
or rough?
Surprise me.
Answer it.
Hello?
Today at 10?
Let me call you back.
Work?
Mhm.
My client wants to
move our meeting from 1 to 10.
Otherwise, we’ll have to push it to next week.
So you have to leave now?
Mm.
Why don’t you push it to next week then?
Just go to work.
Why are you following me?
Aren’t you going home?
I am going home.
What?
Do you think I’m taking you to work?
No.
Whoa.
Rough hand you’ve got.
Did you have a rough childhood?
I had a perfectly normal childhood.
But I slap people in the face a lot.
That’s why my hands are rough.
I’m kidding.
Did I hurt your self-esteem?
Do I look like someone
so easy to lose self-esteem?
Want me to read your palm?
Can you?
What kind of person are you?
You always answer a question
with another question.
Hey.
I was just making sure
you could actually read palms
and weren’t just making
an excuse to hold my hand.
I don’t need an excuse to hold your hand.
You’ve already let me
do a lot more than that.
Your head line and heart line meet.
That means you’re stubborn.
Uncompromising.
Headstrong.
But cute.
Jeez.
Load of nonsense.
Gosh, you never believe anything I say.
When will you be done with work?
Around 1 PM, I guess.
Want me to wait for you?
Why would you wait?
So we can finish it.
I have work in the afternoon.
And when will you be done?
I don’t know.
How about tonight?
I promise I won’t fall asleep.
Get yourself ready.
But don’t take as long as you did last night.
You said you were going home.
Why are you here?
You still haven’t told me
when we’ll meet again.
I told you tonight isn’t a good time.
How about tomorrow?
Can I check my schedule first?
And what’s this?
Why are you so eager for an answer?
Because we’ve put this off for quite a while.
What if you change your mind?
What will I do?
Huh?
I want to finish it with you.
And after that?
After that?
What about after that?
Let’s say Saturday.
Oh, come on. Saturday?
It’s only Monday.
Think of it as being a kid again.
Be a good kid for five days,
then come see me on Saturday.
What now?
We still have 15 minutes left.
How about we find somewhere around here
and get it over with?
[CAN WE DO IT ON WEDNESDAY?]
[SATURDAY IS TOO FAR AWAY.]
So these are the characters
that we talked about.
Moth.
Moth.
Yes?
Pardon?
Can you submit the first draft
by the beginning of next month?
I only need the main characters.
Ah, of course.
[MISSING YOU LIKE CRAZY OVER HERE.]
[WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?]
[I TOLD YOU. SATURDAY.]
[BUT I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY.]
(Are you free today?)
What day is it today?
Saturday.
Don’t play dumb.
Are you free, though?
(It doesn’t matter if I’m free.)
(We said Saturday. Stick to it.)
[WHAT ARE YOU DOING?]
[WANT TO MEET ME TONIGHT?]
[I’M JUST ASKING WHAT YOU’RE DOING.]
How about some photos?
Scooch in a little closer.
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
It’s not the first time
you’ve hit a creative block.
That’s true, but this time is different.
I can’t think straight. I can’t focus.
Maybe your focus is somewhere else?
Why do you have to look so whiny?
I was just asking.
Okay.
Try going out and having some fun.
The idea will come to you eventually.
The world must be ending.
You’re actually calling me.
Are you free tomorrow?
(I am.)
How about we meet tomorrow?
Sure.
See you then.
I’m telling you, this is a hidden gem
you don’t want to miss.
And where will Everydeanlive
take you next time?
Stay tuned to find out.
Okay.
[DON’T FORGET ABOUT TONIGHT.]
[SHOULD WE MEET AT THE CLUB FIRST?]
[NO. JUST COME TO MY PLACE.]
[WHAT TIME?]
[EVENING.]
[DON’T FORGET.
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY.]
[INVITE TEN ALONG, TOO.]
[OKAY.]
Want to go to Max’s birthday party?
Max who?
The guy who went on that road trip
to Chiang Mai with us in second year.
Who would remember him?
He remembers you.
He asked me to invite you too.
But I don’t think I’ll go.
What? If you’re not going, neither am I.
But why aren’t you going?
You never miss stuff like this.
I have plans with Moth.
So you’re going to finish the job?
And what happens after tonight?
Will you two go your separate ways,
or end up as friends like the others?
Why are you so nosy
about my business? Huh?
You’ve made me waste so many days.
You said you’d go after Dr. Pun.
You dipshit.
You let him slip away.
Yeah.
You don’t have to rub it in my face.
(Where are you?)
Let me swing by
my friend’s birthday party first.
But we have plans!
(I’ll come over after this.)
What time?
Two in the morning, I guess.
What?
You expect me to wait that long?
I asked you what time, but you didn’t answer.
I said evening.
Can’t your brain figure out
what “evening” means?
Fine, let’s say midnight.
What the hell is this?
Then come out and join me.
Hang out together and go home together.
Which friend of yours
is having a birthday party?
Ohm, Boom, or Hun?
None of them.
Someone else.
What? Then I don’t know them.
How am I supposed to show up?
Of course you can come.
Ohm and Boom are here, too.
Take your pick. What do you want to do?
Do you want to stay at your friend’s party?
What the heck? Don’t be ridiculous.
Come meet me here.
No.
Just stay with your friends.
Bye.
Happy birthday!
(Hello, Mr. Monsieur.)
(You’re online pretty late tonight.)
(Will we finally get to hear
Mr. Monsieur’s voice tonight?)
(No way.)
(He only ever joins to listen.
He never says a word.)
[IT’S FINE IF THEY DON’T LOVE US—
OUR DOGS DO!]
(There aren’t many members tonight.
Say something.)
(You know, Mr. Bagel is heartbroken again.)
(Help us cheer him up.)
Mr. Monsieur has probably heard
this story a hundred times by now.
He must be sick of it.
(I’m heading to bed, though.
I have to get up early.)
(I’m leaving too.)
(Bye, Mr. Bagel.)
(What? They’re all gone.)
It’s just the two of us now.
Let’s close the chat room, then.
Wait, Mr. Bagel!
Hey.
Mr. Monsieur finally spoke.
Mr. Bagel, are you getting sleepy?
No.
I’m actually still at work.
You’re usually quiet,
so I thought you’d be bored.
Why aren’t you home yet, Mr. Bagel?
I was afraid I’d spiral
in my own head if I went home.
So I joined the chat.
Then I got a little carried away.
Mr. Monsieur, aren’t you sleepy?
No.
I can’t sleep either.
Good. Then you can keep me company.
Are you overthinking things
with that friend of yours?
Is that what’s keeping you up?
Wow. You barely say a word,
but you’ve been following
my story this whole time, huh?
Bye-bye.
What did he do today
to break your heart again?
Nothing, really.
He’s just alone with someone at his place.
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you
what they’re doing.
I’m such a big mess.
I chose to be in this kind of relationship,
and now I’m upset about it.
It might not be what you think.
Maybe…
that guy ditched your friend and went to
his friend’s birthday party instead.
Oh! I’m just guessing. I have no idea.
I don’t know you,
and I don’t know your friend.
Ah, I thought someone in my real life
was spying on me.
(Honestly, your voice sounds so familiar.)
You sound like someone I know.
Maybe you are
I’m… who?
I’m just kidding.
(I don’t think we know each other in real life.)
If someone I know found out
how ridiculous I am in this chat,
I wouldn’t know how to face them.
It’s okay.
Humans don’t have to be strong all the time.
I don’t even know why I have to be strong.
(But thank you so much, Mr. Monsieur,
for keeping me company.)
And… it’s nice getting to know you.
I’m glad I got to talk to you, too, Mr. Bagel.
Hey.
You said you weren’t coming.
I was alone and had nothing to do.
Who did you come with?
You came alone?
Why ask when you already know?
You don’t have to be so snappy.
Come join my friends.
I told you, I don’t know them.
Ohm and Boom are there, too.
Come on.
Stop fcking bothering me.
Go do whatever you want.
I want to be alone.
Can you talk nicely?
I’m asking you.
Fine.
Piss off.
Waiter, a glass of beer.
Fine.
Suit yourself.
I told you to stay away
from my boy, you motherfcker!
- Just calm down, Max.
- Calm down, my ass!
You wanna hook up with everyone? Huh?
What the fck is wrong with you?
You fcker!
Shit!
Max, what the hell are you doing?
Let go.
Max!
Easy!
Let go of me.
What are you looking at?
Let go!
Dean, just leave for now.
Step outside!
Take it easy!
Does it taste good,
blood and booze together?
Did you enjoy watching all that drama?
Still got a nice mouth, I see.
So, is this how it ends for a hot guy?
Do you want to see a doctor?
Mm.
Let me think about
which doctor I should see.
I do know a doctor nearby,
but he’s not very cute.
I’ll just find someone inside.
Flirt my way into getting him.
Right. That’s just how assholes do things.
Should we go back to your place?
To finish it?
No need.
It’s already over.
Where’s Dean?
I couldn’t deal with him, so I left him outside.
How’s it going in here?
He’s calmed down.
And his boy already left, too.
What?
Why?
Max got the wrong idea.
Dean never messed with
the guy he’s seeing.
GY 0619
RATCHABURI
Damn it!
You’re lucky I didn’t call the cops.
I didn’t want to wake you.
Even after you just got into a fight?
You’re getting worse every day.
You never tell anyone anything.
Not just Mom and Dad.
Now you’re keeping secrets from me, too?
You didn’t tell me
you were coming to Bangkok either.
How could I tell you?
Do you ever answer my calls?
You don’t even read my texts.
I came for my friend’s wedding.
I’m going home tomorrow.
Not staying around to bother you.
Don’t worry.
I bet you’re not
going to tell me what happened.
If Mom found out you got into a fight,
she’d be so stressed
she wouldn’t be able to eat for days.
And why would you tell her?
Mom needs to stop
expecting things from me.
Mom doesn’t expect anything from you.
She just wants her old son back.
That’s all.
[WHEN DID YOU LEAVE?]
[ARE YOU OKAY?]
[I’M SORRY…]
Dean isn’t replying?
Mm.
He won’t pick up my calls either.
Why are you guys laughing?
Nothing.
It’s just we’ve all been through this.
Dean made us so irritated
and drove us crazy before.
I’m not irritated.
Okay. Whatever you say.
Come on. Let’s drink.
Come on.
Cheers!
Whoo!
I’m not planning to get serious with Dean.
I know.
Who would get serious with Dean
unless they were an idiot?
But at some point, you can’t help
but worry about him, right?
No matter what you are to each other.
That’s the turning point.
Do you believe this?
Some people are only
meant to cross our paths.
They don’t deserve our concern.
In the end,
Dean has to answer for his actions.
All right.
Let’s have the farewell drink.
This round’s on the house.
Since you guys are regulars.
Wow!
Farewell drink?
Why?
Tonight is our club’s last night.
Our lease on this building is up.
Come on. Whatever.
(There are times when we feel like
we truly belong somewhere.)
(But the truth is, when we’re gone,
that place doesn’t seem to miss us at all.)
(There’s no place that belongs to us forever.)
(No.)
(I don’t think there is.)
A WEEK LATER
It can be anything,
as long as my activity is on your channel.
Dean, I think…
One hot cappuccino, please.
We have a buy-one-get-one promotion.
Would you like to get two?
Oh, I’m here by myself.
Can the other one be a caramel macchiato?
Sure, of course.
So, one hot cappuccino, and
- Hey!
- You ditched work to
listen to Dr. Pun’s voice again.
- You know he doesn’t like the real me.
- It’s a blind date.
- Interested?
- I’ve got some free tickets.
- Ask Pun to come.
- Are you still playing cupid?
- Go inside.
- Hello.
- Your voice sounds familiar.
- Are you…?
- Have you been avoiding me lately?
- Why would I?
- Being with Dean keeps you occupied enough.
- I’m not serious about Dean at all.
you’re going to keep ignoring me?
- I’ve never seen anyone
drive you this crazy before.
- Should I stop doing what I want
- and force myself to do silly things
just to please someone else?
- Can you stop setting conditions
- and just let things
happen based on how you feel?
- I’ll admit that… I really like Moth.
- I never felt like you weren’t important.
- I’m really sorry.
- Who are you, really?
- I’m a maniac, I guess.
Wait.

Saturday.
Don’t play dumb.
Are you free, though?
(It doesn’t matter if I’m free.)
(We said Saturday. Stick to it.)
[WHAT ARE YOU DOING?]
[WANT TO MEET ME TONIGHT?]
[I’M JUST ASKING WHAT YOU’RE DOING.]
How about some photos?
Scooch in a little closer.
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
It’s not the first time
you’ve hit a creative block.
That’s true, but this time is different.
I can’t think straight. I can’t focus.
Maybe your focus is somewhere else?
Why do you have to look so whiny?
I was just asking.
Okay.
Try going out and having some fun.
The idea will come to you eventually.
The world must be ending.
You’re actually calling me.
Are you free tomorrow?
(I am.)
How about we meet tomorrow?
Sure.
See you then.
I’m telling you, this is a hidden gem
you don’t want to miss.
And where will Everydeanlive
take you next time?
Stay tuned to find out.
Okay.
[DON’T FORGET ABOUT TONIGHT.]
[SHOULD WE MEET AT THE CLUB FIRST?]
[NO. JUST COME TO MY PLACE.]
[WHAT TIME?]
[EVENING.]
[DON’T FORGET.
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY.]
[INVITE TEN ALONG, TOO.]
[OKAY.]
Want to go to Max’s birthday party?
Max who?
The guy who went on that road trip
to Chiang Mai with us in second year.
Who would remember him?
He remembers you.
He asked me to invite you too.
But I don’t think I’ll go.
What? If you’re not going, neither am I.
But why aren’t you going?
You never miss stuff like this.
I have plans with Moth.
So you’re going to finish the job?
And what happens after tonight?
Will you two go your separate ways,
or end up as friends like the others?
Why are you so nosy
about my business? Huh?
You’ve made me waste so many days.
You said you’d go after Dr. Pun.
You dipshit.
You let him slip away.
Yeah.
You don’t have to rub it in my face.
(Where are you?)
Let me swing by
my friend’s birthday party first.
But we have plans!
(I’ll come over after this.)
What time?
Two in the morning, I guess.
What?
You expect me to wait that long?
I asked you what time, but you didn’t answer.
I said evening.
Can’t your brain figure out
what “evening” means?
Fine, let’s say midnight.
What the hell is this?
Then come out and join me.
Hang out together and go home together.
Which friend of yours
is having a birthday party?
Ohm, Boom, or Hun?
None of them.
Someone else.
What? Then I don’t know them.
How am I supposed to show up?
Of course you can come.
Ohm and Boom are here, too.
Take your pick. What do you want to do?
Do you want to stay at your friend’s party?
What the heck? Don’t be ridiculous.
Come meet me here.
No.
Just stay with your friends.
Bye.
Happy birthday!
(Hello, Mr. Monsieur.)
(You’re online pretty late tonight.)
(Will we finally get to hear
Mr. Monsieur’s voice tonight?)
(No way.)
(He only ever joins to listen.
He never says a word.)
[IT’S FINE IF THEY DON’T LOVE US—
OUR DOGS DO!]
(There aren’t many members tonight.
Say something.)
(You know, Mr. Bagel is heartbroken again.)
(Help us cheer him up.)
Mr. Monsieur has probably heard
this story a hundred times by now.
He must be sick of it.
(I’m heading to bed, though.
I have to get up early.)
(I’m leaving too.)
(Bye, Mr. Bagel.)
(What? They’re all gone.)
It’s just the two of us now.
Let’s close the chat room, then.
Wait, Mr. Bagel!
Hey.
Mr. Monsieur finally spoke.
Mr. Bagel, are you getting sleepy?
No.
I’m actually still at work.
You’re usually quiet,
so I thought you’d be bored.
Why aren’t you home yet, Mr. Bagel?
I was afraid I’d spiral
in my own head if I went home.
So I joined the chat.
Then I got a little carried away.
Mr. Monsieur, aren’t you sleepy?
No.
I can’t sleep either.
Good. Then you can keep me company.
Are you overthinking things
with that friend of yours?
Is that what’s keeping you up?
Wow. You barely say a word,
but you’ve been following
my story this whole time, huh?
Bye-bye.
What did he do today
to break your heart again?
Nothing, really.
He’s just alone with someone at his place.
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you
what they’re doing.
I’m such a big mess.
I chose to be in this kind of relationship,
and now I’m upset about it.
It might not be what you think.
Maybe…
that guy ditched your friend and went to
his friend’s birthday party instead.
Oh! I’m just guessing. I have no idea.
I don’t know you,
and I don’t know your friend.
Ah, I thought someone in my real life
was spying on me.
(Honestly, your voice sounds so familiar.)
You sound like someone I know.
Maybe you are
I’m… who?
I’m just kidding.
(I don’t think we know each other in real life.)
If someone I know found out
how ridiculous I am in this chat,
I wouldn’t know how to face them.
It’s okay.
Humans don’t have to be strong all the time.
I don’t even know why I have to be strong.
(But thank you so much, Mr. Monsieur,
for keeping me company.)
And… it’s nice getting to know you.
I’m glad I got to talk to you, too, Mr. Bagel.
Hey.
You said you weren’t coming.
I was alone and had nothing to do.
Who did you come with?
You came alone?
Why ask when you already know?
You don’t have to be so snappy.
Come join my friends.
I told you, I don’t know them.
Ohm and Boom are there, too.
Come on.
Stop fcking bothering me.
Go do whatever you want.
I want to be alone.
Can you talk nicely?
I’m asking you.
Fine.
Piss off.
Waiter, a glass of beer.
Fine.
Suit yourself.
I told you to stay away
from my boy, you motherfcker!
- Just calm down, Max.
- Calm down, my ass!
You wanna hook up with everyone? Huh?
What the fck is wrong with you?
You fcker!
Shit!
Max, what the hell are you doing?
Let go.
Max!
Easy!
Let go of me.
What are you looking at?
Let go!
Dean, just leave for now.
Step outside!
Take it easy!
Does it taste good,
blood and booze together?
Did you enjoy watching all that drama?
Still got a nice mouth, I see.
So, is this how it ends for a hot guy?
Do you want to see a doctor?
Mm.
Let me think about
which doctor I should see.
I do know a doctor nearby,
but he’s not very cute.
I’ll just find someone inside.
Flirt my way into getting him.
Right. That’s just how assholes do things.
Should we go back to your place?
To finish it?
No need.
It’s already over.
Where’s Dean?
I couldn’t deal with him, so I left him outside.
How’s it going in here?
He’s calmed down.
And his boy already left, too.
What?
Why?
Max got the wrong idea.
Dean never messed with
the guy he’s seeing.
GY 0619
RATCHABURI
Damn it!
You’re lucky I didn’t call the cops.
I didn’t want to wake you.
Even after you just got into a fight?
You’re getting worse every day.
You never tell anyone anything.
Not just Mom and Dad.
Now you’re keeping secrets from me, too?
You didn’t tell me
you were coming to Bangkok either.
How could I tell you?
Do you ever answer my calls?
You don’t even read my texts.
I came for my friend’s wedding.
I’m going home tomorrow.
Not staying around to bother you.
Don’t worry.
I bet you’re not
going to tell me what happened.
If Mom found out you got into a fight,
she’d be so stressed
she wouldn’t be able to eat for days.
And why would you tell her?
Mom needs to stop
expecting things from me.
Mom doesn’t expect anything from you.
She just wants her old son back.
That’s all.
[WHEN DID YOU LEAVE?]
[ARE YOU OKAY?]
[I’M SORRY…]
Dean isn’t replying?
Mm.
He won’t pick up my calls either.
Why are you guys laughing?
Nothing.
It’s just we’ve all been through this.
Dean made us so irritated
and drove us crazy before.
I’m not irritated.
Okay. Whatever you say.
Come on. Let’s drink.
Come on.
Cheers!
Whoo!
I’m not planning to get serious with Dean.
I know.
Who would get serious with Dean
unless they were an idiot?
But at some point, you can’t help
but worry about him, right?
No matter what you are to each other.
That’s the turning point.
Do you believe this?
Some people are only
meant to cross our paths.
They don’t deserve our concern.
In the end,
Dean has to answer for his actions.
All right.
Let’s have the farewell drink.
This round’s on the house.
Since you guys are regulars.
Wow!
Farewell drink?
Why?
Tonight is our club’s last night.
Our lease on this building is up.
Come on. Whatever.
(There are times when we feel like
we truly belong somewhere.)
(But the truth is, when we’re gone,
that place doesn’t seem to miss us at all.)
(There’s no place that belongs to us forever.)
(No.)
(I don’t think there is.)
A WEEK LATER
It can be anything,
as long as my activity is on your channel.
Dean, I think…
One hot cappuccino, please.
We have a buy-one-get-one promotion.
Would you like to get two?
Oh, I’m here by myself.
Can the other one be a caramel macchiato?
Sure, of course.
So, one hot cappuccino, and
- Hey!
- You ditched work to
listen to Dr. Pun’s voice again.
- You know he doesn’t like the real me.
- It’s a blind date.
- Interested?
- I’ve got some free tickets.
- Ask Pun to come.
- Are you still playing cupid?
- Go inside.
- Hello.
- Your voice sounds familiar.
- Are you…?
- Have you been avoiding me lately?
- Why would I?
- Being with Dean keeps you occupied enough.
- I’m not serious about Dean at all.
