You Maniac (2026) s01e07 Episode Script
Episode 7

Dr. Pun.
I’m Monsieur.
Now that we’ve revealed our real identities,
how about we start going out?
Be careful with your mixed signals.
Someone else might get to him first.
Moth.
Why don’t we just get together?
What did you say?
Uh…
Just pretend you didn’t hear that.
Moth.
Mes.
How have you been?
Doing well?
I am.
It’s been a long time.
Ah, that’s Dean.
My friend.
Ah.
Hi.
I’m Mes, his senior.
Senior?
Let me know when you get home.
Should we head upstairs?
Sure.
Here you go.
It’s been with me for so long.
I thought you didn’t want it back.
Of course I do.
Back in uni, I had to
save up for a month to buy this.
When you had it, did you ever read it?
Not really.
I usually use different references.
So how did you get here?
Did you drive?
I took a cab.
Why?
Now that you gave it back,
you’re trying to get rid of me already?
Nonsense, Mes.
Who would ever want to get rid of you?
Make yourself at home.
You’re still the same, Moth.
How are you doing?
I see you post a lot of work pieces on IG.
Do you even have time to rest?
Work’s been pretty hectic lately.
The faster I get it done, the faster I get paid.
You should make time to travel.
When you decide to go to New York,
let me know.
I’ll show you around.
So, you’re back this time.
Are you staying long?
Mhm, I think I’ll be here for a while.
A gallery asked me to showcase my work.
They’re also holding a charity auction.
Hey, the exhibition opens the day after tomorrow.
Moth, you should come.
I want you to come.
[WHAT ARE YOU DOING?]
[CONGRATS, MES! WE’RE SO PROUD OF YOU.]
You got here fast.
Didn’t we say 10 a.m.?
I got here at eight to queue up.
Isn’t that a little early?
You’re only free in the morning
because you have to be at the clinic at noon.
And there aren’t many
good breakfast places around here.
Luckily, I found this place online.
The reviews are great.
They say the food is really good.
But it’s always packed, so I had to come super early.
Don’t you like it, Dr. Pun?
I do.
But it sounds like a hassle for you.
No, it’s fine.
You’re my first boyfriend,
and this is our first time going out as boyfriends,
so I wanted to impress you.
Oh, did I say “boyfriend” too many times?
I’m sorry.
You can say it as many times as you want.
We really are boyfriends.
Thank you for trying to impress me.
But if we can, I’d rather we come together.
So you’re okay with coming at 5 a.m.?
I’m joking.
If we have to come at five,
we might as well find a new restaurant.
Let’s order.
Moth’s calling.
Can I answer?
Of course.
Why not?
Ah.
You don’t have to worry about me.
You and Moth are friends.
Hello. What’s up?
(Can we meet before noon?)
(I’ll come see you.)
Can we meet another day?
I’m with
(Mes is back.)
(BUDDY HEAL CLINIC)
He went straight to your place
after flying back from abroad?
Not really.
He’s been back for a while.
He just…
came by to get his book.
Why didn’t you
just send it with a messenger?
I thought I was over him.
But then I saw him in person,
and I was back to square one.
I didn’t know how to act.
If I were you,
I wouldn’t have met him in the first place.
Hey.
I’m dating Ten now.
Huh?
I was going to tell you today,
but you told me about Mes first.
Then I’m happy for you.
When did you decide?
Why didn’t I know about this?
Yesterday.
But I’ve been talking to him for a while.
And I wanted to break out of the same cycle.
As for you, do whatever you think is right.
But if you can,
I’d rather not hear about this anymore.
I’m sorry, Pun.
There’s a bit of a problem.
Sorry about what?
Hi. Can I be your plus-one today?
Be my guest.
Hey, Pun, do you know a guy named Mes?
You’ve met him?
Yeah, big time. At Moth’s place.
Mes was Moth’s senior at university,
and also…
Moth’s first love.
Mes was someone Moth looked up to.
Moth wanted to be like him.
He wanted to stand beside him.
Why don’t you try
adding some white as a highlight?
Thank you, Mes.
It feels like I’m always relying on you.
You’ll surpass me very soon.
One day, you might be the one helping me.
You’re exaggerating.
Me? Better than you?
Moth, don’t ever think you’re ordinary.
You know why?
Because you paint with your feelings.
You don’t care whether it’s right or wrong.
Precision and skill can be learned.
But feelings are what truly belong to us.
If you let your feelings flow and stay true to them,
they’ll show through in your work.
Promise me, Moth.
Don’t ever let that disappear.
I’d love to keep seeing it.
Well, if you don’t disappear from my life,
you’ll get to keep seeing it.
Art brought those two together.
I wasn’t in the same faculty as Moth,
so I don’t know if Mes
was simply interested in his work
or if, deep down, he felt something more.
But hearing Moth talk about Mes every day,
I knew one thing for sure.
Moth had truly fallen in love with him.
Until one day, Moth had a wake-up call.
Happy Valentine’s, Mes.
I’m not into this kind of thing.
Are you?
Well…
Not really.
You know what’s funny?
A year later, Mes went abroad to study.
He started dating someone
and posted new content with his partner
every Valentine’s Day.
But Moth ended up hating Valentine’s Day instead.
Mes’s partner had an impressive profile,
so Moth thought he wasn’t good enough.
Could anyone really make
Moth feel like he wasn’t good enough?
Deep down, everyone compares themselves to others.
Especially Moth.
The guy who never says
what he really thinks out loud.
If Moth was that heartbroken over him,
then why is he still being nice to him?
All this time, he’s been mean
to everyone who’s tried to hit on him,
partly because of
the hurt he still carries inside…
and partly because he still can’t get over Mes.
Hello.
(Are you free to talk?)
What’s up, Mes?
(I opened the book you gave me
and found all these notes.)
(They brought back memories, so I called.)
(I remember you were such a nerd
about contemporary and abstract art.)
But I forgot all about it now.
(Don’t lie.)
(You don’t just forget things like that.)
(Hey, that photo of the artwork
you put in the book, I saw the original.)
Really?
(Yes. I’m telling you, the actual piece was
stunning. It was even better than the photo.)
We’re heading somewhere next.
You want to come with us?
Only asking out of courtesy, though.
Ten.
Yeah, I know you want some alone time with Pun.
I won’t get in your way.
Have fun.
Hey. I forgot to say something important.
I’m really happy for you.
You deserve a love this good.
And thank you, Pun,
for opening your heart to Ten.
I believe he can make you happy.
I want to make Ten happy, too.
We’re off now.
Yeah. See you later.
[WHAT ARE YOU DOING?]
(Hey, I gotta go.)
(I’ve got some work to finish.)
[20 MISSED CALLS FROM MANIAC]
Hello.
I saw your missed calls.
(I’m downstairs.)
(Come down and meet me.)
Why was your line busy?
Because I was on the phone.
Who were you talking to?
A senior.
You wouldn’t know him.
Is he really just a senior?
You two talked for an hour.
If you’re going to be like this,
I don’t want to talk.
Wait.
Fine.
Where are you going tomorrow?
Out.
I’ve got something to do.
With who?
I need to deposit a check.
And then?
Are you spending all day
depositing your check?
What’s wrong with you?
Just say whatever you want to say.
Oh, can I?
Then crystallize your thoughts
and figure out what you really want to say.
Wait.
Fine. I’ll say it.
Let me ask you something.
What are we, exactly?
I don’t know either.
Please, come in.
Sorry, my place is a little messy.
You can sit right here.
We have a guest today, girl.
How are you doing, sweetheart?
Wow.
Let’s have some snacks.
You’ve got your yum-yum.
Would you like to hold her?
Whoa.
She looks so much healthier.
Dr. Pun, you can play with Mademoiselle for now.
I need to upload and submit my work file.
It won’t take long.
Of course.
Take your time.
I’ll stay here with her.
All right, then.
Does your papa even know
what I’m doing at his house?
Shit!
I think the transformer outside just blew.
The technician hasn’t come to fix it yet.
It should take a while.
Dr. Pun, would you rather leave now?
No, it’s okay.
I’d rather stay and keep you company.
Are you sure?
I’m sorry.
Did I disappoint you?
Why would you think that?
Well, I’m afraid I’m making you feel like
I’m not what you expected.
No.
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
To me, you’re a really good listener.
Then…
I’ll just listen to you talk.
What should I talk about?
I think my life is pretty boring.
How about telling me things
that help me get to know you better?
Um…
You already know my name.
My date of birth? I was born on October 15.
Bachelor’s degree in veterinary medicine.
I only have one close friend. That’s Moth.
Mes being back this time
doesn’t just affect Dean and Moth.
You’re right.
It affects me, too.
I have to keep consoling Dean.
It reminds me of the past,
when I secretly had a crush on Moth.
Moth secretly had a crush on Mes.
We just kept going around in circles, endlessly.
But I never want to
go back to that same cycle again.
Because I have you now.
I really want to
open a new book and start reading.
Thank you for tucking Mademoiselle in.
Thank you for tucking Mademoiselle in.
But it’s not that late yet.
But you have to drive home. I’m worried.
Get home safe.
I’m sorry.
I’ll be leaving now.
Pun.
You just…
Forget it.
No, no.
I mean…
I didn’t think you were ready for this.
Then why do you think
I followed you home today?
I thought you wanted to play with my dog.
Do you think it’s too soon?
I…
Yes.
But I don’t mind, though.
I don’t either.
Hi, Dean.
Hey! You’re not late at all.
Everyone’s leaving.
But you’re still here, aren’t you?
Right.
Whoa!
Take it easy.
Whoo!
What did I do wrong?
How is he better than me?
My heart feels numb ♪
A rocker has possessed him.
Shit! What did I do?
I got it bad.
A bottle of beer.
Hey, Moth.
Why didn’t you call when you got here?
So, what do you think?
Seeing my work now,
don’t you have anything to say?
Go ahead and slam it.
Are you crazy?
Why would I slam your work?
As if I could ever paint something like this.
Of course you could.
You absolutely could.
Your colors are still as precise as ever.
No.
They’re even more precise than before.
You were good before.
And now, you’re even better.
I guess that’s what an artist is supposed to be.
I just paint the way my feelings tell me to.
Just like you.
When I work, all I think about are deadlines.
Will I finish on time?
If I do it this way,
will the client ask me to change it?
Will people like my drawing style?
What’s trending these days?
But in the end, it all comes down to
how you feel, doesn’t it?
No.
When I work, I haven’t felt
anything for a long time.
Then that’s a shame.
Because that’s exactly your charm.
But I think I can still see it in you.
What do you see?
Please. Don’t say something ridiculous.
Hey, Moth.
You still think you’re ordinary, don’t you?
But to me,
you’re the most special person there is.
Walk around and take a look.
I have to do a photoshoot with the press.
I’ll be right back.
Sure.
(Don’t ever think you’re ordinary.)
(Promise me, Moth.)
(Don’t ever let that disappear.)
(I’d love to keep seeing it.)
Did you follow me?
Yeah. I did.
I wanted to see how many times
one person can turn into a lovesick dog.
How funny.
You’ve spent all these years heartbroken,
yet the moment he says
something nice to you,
you’re grinning from ear to ear.
Are you really that happy?
Are you drunk?
Drunk? No.
If you’re not drunk, then what are you?
Jealous?
Jealous of what? Huh?
Why would I be?
We’re friends.
Am I even allowed?
Hey.
Is he the friend I met that day?
I guess so.
Just like Moth said.
I’m just a friend.
I’m glad you came to see my exhibition.
You graduated overseas, right?
Should I greet you the Thai way,
or should we shake hands?
Can I get a selfie, please?
I’d like to brag that I know someone famous.
Whoo!
I just followed you.
Don’t forget to follow me back.
Mes, I’ll take my friend home.
Moth.
There’s a party tonight.
I want to introduce you to someone.
You can bring your friend along.
I’m not sure if I can stay until then.
But I can.
I’ll see you tonight, Mes.
Come here.
Stop acting crazy and go home.
Why do you have to yell?
Do you even realize what you’re doing?
I do.
I’m getting to know your senior.
Isn’t he famous?
I want to know a competent artist.
Maybe it’ll make me look smarter.
Go sleep it off for a night or two.
We’ll talk when you’re sober.
Okay.
I’ll go home.
But I’ll see you tonight anyway.
No.
Don’t come.
Why not?
Didn’t you hear him? He invited me, too.
If you fcking come,
I’ll hate you for the rest of my life.
Let me introduce you to Sam.
I’ve been following his work since his uni days.
Hi, Sam.
Oh, hey, Mes.
Congratulations.
The exhibition was a huge success.
Seeing how many people showed up
made me jealous.
Thank you.
Sam, this is Moth.
He was my junior in the same faculty.
He’s making art, too.
Hello.
Hello.
What kind of artwork do you do?
Drawing? Painting? Sculpture?
Ah.
I’m a character artist.
I do graphic design sometimes, too.
Oh, that’s interesting.
I saw his work. He’s really talented.
Hey.
Chat and his friends are looking for you.
They might have a great project for you.
Why don’t we go talk to them?
Of course.
Moth, I’ll be right back.
Sure.
Mes is here.
I heard you had a good project for him.
Hi, Chat.
(Go sleep it off for a night or two.)
(We’ll talk when you’re sober.)
Hey.
I think you should just tell him
and get it over with.
Tell him you like him.
Tell him you can’t stand
the thought of him leaving.
Excuse me for a minute.
Moth.
I’m going to Chat’s house party afterward.
Come with me.
It’s okay.
You go ahead. I think I’ll head home.
What’s the hurry?
Do you have plans with someone?
I need to finish an illustration.
I’m already two days late.
You go to the party.
I’ll go home and make a living.
Moth.
Will you paint again?
I am painting.
No.
I’m not talking about those comic characters.
I mean…
I think you know what I mean.
Paint again, Moth.
Give me a chance to see your work again.
And don’t worry about whether anyone buys it.
Because I will.
No matter how expensive it is.
[MANIAC]
(Hey.)
(I’m sorry I crossed the line.)
I don’t know what got into me.
I was a fcking asshole.
If I were you, I’d kick my ass.
(I’m sorry.)
(I…)
Can you not hate me?
(Please don’t hate me.)
Here.
The artist party wasn’t fun?
Is that why you came out here
to sit by yourself?
What’s there to have fun about?
Those people don’t know how to have fun.
Aren’t you one of those people?
Good point.
I don’t know.
Let’s just say I know what fun is.
And being with those people isn’t it.
Should we hit a nightclub?
Have some crazy fun.
No. I’d rather stay here.
Have you forgiven me
for what happened at the gallery?
Don’t talk about it.
I don’t want to dig it back up.
I want to be a cat.
Huh?
I want to be a cat.
Maybe things will get easier.
Are you all right?
You okay?
Right now, I don’t know if
I’m doing something I actually like.
I don’t even know who I am anymore.
Is there anything I can help you with?
Can’t think of anything now.
You can tell me when you do.
Um…
Can I sleep on your lap?
Anything else you want?
Um…
Will you sing for me?
What?
I’m afraid that’ll just stress you out more.
Come on.
You’re not going to do it?
Stay with me tonight
If there’s no one there to hold you ♪
Stay with me
Until the morning light breaks through ♪
“You don’t have to stand your ground
on everything. Your legs will get sore.”
What are you talking about?
Don’t you want to be a cat?
Then try thinking like one.
“Never say never.
Unless you mean ‘never mind.’”
There’s an exhibition next week.
If you pull this off, you can finally
become a full-fledged artist.
What should I do?
You mean with the art,
or with your relationship with Dean?
How would you like me to help?
Don’t paint so much that you faint.
— Dean
I miss you.
Miss you, too.
Your painting is beautiful.
So damn beautiful.
Dr. Pun.

It should take a while.
Dr. Pun, would you rather leave now?
No, it’s okay.
I’d rather stay and keep you company.
Are you sure?
I’m sorry.
Did I disappoint you?
Why would you think that?
Well, I’m afraid I’m making you feel like
I’m not what you expected.
No.
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
To me, you’re a really good listener.
Then…
I’ll just listen to you talk.
What should I talk about?
I think my life is pretty boring.
How about telling me things
that help me get to know you better?
Um…
You already know my name.
My date of birth? I was born on October 15.
Bachelor’s degree in veterinary medicine.
I only have one close friend. That’s Moth.
Mes being back this time
doesn’t just affect Dean and Moth.
You’re right.
It affects me, too.
I have to keep consoling Dean.
It reminds me of the past,
when I secretly had a crush on Moth.
Moth secretly had a crush on Mes.
We just kept going around in circles, endlessly.
But I never want to
go back to that same cycle again.
Because I have you now.
I really want to
open a new book and start reading.
Thank you for tucking Mademoiselle in.
Thank you for tucking Mademoiselle in.
But it’s not that late yet.
But you have to drive home. I’m worried.
Get home safe.
I’m sorry.
I’ll be leaving now.
Pun.
You just…
Forget it.
No, no.
I mean…
I didn’t think you were ready for this.
Then why do you think
I followed you home today?
I thought you wanted to play with my dog.
Do you think it’s too soon?
I…
Yes.
But I don’t mind, though.
I don’t either.
Hi, Dean.
Hey! You’re not late at all.
Everyone’s leaving.
But you’re still here, aren’t you?
Right.
Whoa!
Take it easy.
Whoo!
What did I do wrong?
How is he better than me?
My heart feels numb ♪
A rocker has possessed him.
Shit! What did I do?
I got it bad.
A bottle of beer.
Hey, Moth.
Why didn’t you call when you got here?
So, what do you think?
Seeing my work now,
don’t you have anything to say?
Go ahead and slam it.
Are you crazy?
Why would I slam your work?
As if I could ever paint something like this.
Of course you could.
You absolutely could.
Your colors are still as precise as ever.
No.
They’re even more precise than before.
You were good before.
And now, you’re even better.
I guess that’s what an artist is supposed to be.
I just paint the way my feelings tell me to.
Just like you.
When I work, all I think about are deadlines.
Will I finish on time?
If I do it this way,
will the client ask me to change it?
Will people like my drawing style?
What’s trending these days?
But in the end, it all comes down to
how you feel, doesn’t it?
No.
When I work, I haven’t felt
anything for a long time.
Then that’s a shame.
Because that’s exactly your charm.
But I think I can still see it in you.
What do you see?
Please. Don’t say something ridiculous.
Hey, Moth.
You still think you’re ordinary, don’t you?
But to me,
you’re the most special person there is.
Walk around and take a look.
I have to do a photoshoot with the press.
I’ll be right back.
Sure.
(Don’t ever think you’re ordinary.)
(Promise me, Moth.)
(Don’t ever let that disappear.)
(I’d love to keep seeing it.)
Did you follow me?
Yeah. I did.
I wanted to see how many times
one person can turn into a lovesick dog.
How funny.
You’ve spent all these years heartbroken,
yet the moment he says
something nice to you,
you’re grinning from ear to ear.
Are you really that happy?
Are you drunk?
Drunk? No.
If you’re not drunk, then what are you?
Jealous?
Jealous of what? Huh?
Why would I be?
We’re friends.
Am I even allowed?
Hey.
Is he the friend I met that day?
I guess so.
Just like Moth said.
I’m just a friend.
I’m glad you came to see my exhibition.
You graduated overseas, right?
Should I greet you the Thai way,
or should we shake hands?
Can I get a selfie, please?
I’d like to brag that I know someone famous.
Whoo!
I just followed you.
Don’t forget to follow me back.
Mes, I’ll take my friend home.
Moth.
There’s a party tonight.
I want to introduce you to someone.
You can bring your friend along.
I’m not sure if I can stay until then.
But I can.
I’ll see you tonight, Mes.
Come here.
Stop acting crazy and go home.
Why do you have to yell?
Do you even realize what you’re doing?
I do.
I’m getting to know your senior.
Isn’t he famous?
I want to know a competent artist.
Maybe it’ll make me look smarter.
Go sleep it off for a night or two.
We’ll talk when you’re sober.
Okay.
I’ll go home.
But I’ll see you tonight anyway.
No.
Don’t come.
Why not?
Didn’t you hear him? He invited me, too.
If you fcking come,
I’ll hate you for the rest of my life.
Let me introduce you to Sam.
I’ve been following his work since his uni days.
Hi, Sam.
Oh, hey, Mes.
Congratulations.
The exhibition was a huge success.
Seeing how many people showed up
made me jealous.
Thank you.
Sam, this is Moth.
He was my junior in the same faculty.
He’s making art, too.
Hello.
Hello.
What kind of artwork do you do?
Drawing? Painting? Sculpture?
Ah.
I’m a character artist.
I do graphic design sometimes, too.
Oh, that’s interesting.
I saw his work. He’s really talented.
Hey.
Chat and his friends are looking for you.
They might have a great project for you.
Why don’t we go talk to them?
Of course.
Moth, I’ll be right back.
Sure.
Mes is here.
I heard you had a good project for him.
Hi, Chat.
(Go sleep it off for a night or two.)
(We’ll talk when you’re sober.)
Hey.
I think you should just tell him
and get it over with.
Tell him you like him.
Tell him you can’t stand
the thought of him leaving.
Excuse me for a minute.
Moth.
I’m going to Chat’s house party afterward.
Come with me.
It’s okay.
You go ahead. I think I’ll head home.
What’s the hurry?
Do you have plans with someone?
I need to finish an illustration.
I’m already two days late.
You go to the party.
I’ll go home and make a living.
Moth.
Will you paint again?
I am painting.
No.
I’m not talking about those comic characters.
I mean…
I think you know what I mean.
Paint again, Moth.
Give me a chance to see your work again.
And don’t worry about whether anyone buys it.
Because I will.
No matter how expensive it is.
[MANIAC]
(Hey.)
(I’m sorry I crossed the line.)
I don’t know what got into me.
I was a fcking asshole.
If I were you, I’d kick my ass.
(I’m sorry.)
(I…)
Can you not hate me?
(Please don’t hate me.)
Here.
The artist party wasn’t fun?
Is that why you came out here
to sit by yourself?
What’s there to have fun about?
Those people don’t know how to have fun.
Aren’t you one of those people?
Good point.
I don’t know.
Let’s just say I know what fun is.
And being with those people isn’t it.
Should we hit a nightclub?
Have some crazy fun.
No. I’d rather stay here.
Have you forgiven me
for what happened at the gallery?
Don’t talk about it.
I don’t want to dig it back up.
I want to be a cat.
Huh?
I want to be a cat.
Maybe things will get easier.
Are you all right?
You okay?
Right now, I don’t know if
I’m doing something I actually like.
I don’t even know who I am anymore.
Is there anything I can help you with?
Can’t think of anything now.
You can tell me when you do.
Um…
Can I sleep on your lap?
Anything else you want?
Um…
Will you sing for me?
What?
I’m afraid that’ll just stress you out more.
Come on.
You’re not going to do it?
Stay with me tonight
If there’s no one there to hold you ♪
Stay with me
Until the morning light breaks through ♪
“You don’t have to stand your ground
on everything. Your legs will get sore.”
What are you talking about?
Don’t you want to be a cat?
Then try thinking like one.
“Never say never.
Unless you mean ‘never mind.’”
There’s an exhibition next week.
If you pull this off, you can finally
become a full-fledged artist.
What should I do?
You mean with the art,
or with your relationship with Dean?
How would you like me to help?
Don’t paint so much that you faint.
— Dean
I miss you.
Miss you, too.
Your painting is beautiful.
So damn beautiful.
