You Maniac (2026) s01e10 Episode Script

- Do you want me there with you?
- Come.
- Aren’t you sad at all?
- I saw Dad with another woman.
- The truth is, our relationship is a lie, too.
- Are you breaking up with me?
- Dad taught me love.
- We just have to choose…
- whether to drown in guilt over the past
- or find the courage to right our wrongs.
Hold on.
What are you doing?
Making steak. Why?
You don’t need oil to cook steak.
I know.
I don’t need you telling me that.
It’s not cooked yet. Why are you flipping it?
Ouch! Shit!
Stop talking.
You’re making the oil splatter everywhere.
What?
Me?
What did I do?
Yes. You’re distracting me.
Here, let me do it.
Don’t!
If you want to help, do something else.
Get some water or make a salad.
Anything.
No.
I’ll handle the steak,
and you can make the salad.
Or we can switch.
You make the steak.
And I will… make the salad.
That’s more like it.
Nice presentation.
Should we order something in?
Hey.
I didn’t say anything.
It’s really good.
Can you be a little more honest?
How am I not being honest?
Even if you poisoned the food, I’d still eat it.
Yuck!
Tone it down a little.
You’re so cheesy.
We’re having steak for lunch.
Japanese food for dinner.
And then late at night…
What should we eat?
I’m going home.
What?
Why the rush?
Stay one more night.
One more night?
I’ve been staying here since Friday night.
It’s Sunday afternoon already.
Aren’t you gonna let me go home?
Isn’t this nice?
You’ll save on water and electricity.
I have work tomorrow morning.
Then I’ll just stay at your place instead.
What’s this?
You’re acting like
you don’t have any work to do.
Just stay here.
Eat.
Why don’t you move in with Dean?
I don’t know.
Do I have to?
Well, I moved in with Ten.
You and Ten are boyfriends.
Why haven’t you
talked things through with Dean?
I don’t know.
Why not?
What’s the problem?
He’s calling.
Who?
Mes.
What?
You haven’t asked Moth
to be your boyfriend yet?
Moth and I are doing fine.
Why do I have to ask?
You need commitment for things like this.
Especially for someone like you.
I think
Moth and I are way past
that boyfriend proposal stage.
It’s not necessary.
Damn you.
You’re always so confident
about the wrong things.
Moth might be waiting for you to ask him.
[WANNA EAT SPICY PORK BONE SOUP.]
[LET’S GO THEN.]
[INCOMING CALL — MES]
Hello.
I thought you wouldn’t pick up.
Is there something you need, Mes?
I’m going back to New York.
(So I wanted to ask you again…)
about the artist residency scholarship.
Mes.
About that—
(Hear me out first, Moth.)
Think it over carefully.
Don’t turn it down just yet.
If I’ve eve
unintentionally belittled you
or said things that made you doubt
(your comic character illustrations,)
(I’m sorry.)
(I really didn’t mean to.
But I want you to ask yourself
(whether you really
want to turn down this opportunity.)
(This isn’t about you and me.)
Even if you go and you’re still mad at me,
you don’t have to see me at all.
Why don’t you…
talk it over with Dean first
(and give me your answer later?)
What do you mean by that?
(Dean is an important person
in your life, isn’t he?)
(Of course, you should
let him have a say in this.)
Well, yes.
I’m glad you’ve found someone
you can trust with your life.
(Honestly, I was really impressed by
what he did at the exhibition that day.)
(When he protected you.)
How much is this piece?
How much did you sell it for?
I’ll pay double.
This work deserves to be more than just
another meaningless piece
in someone’s collection.
I can’t even imagine myself
caring for someone or doing the things
Dean does for you.
(Trust me.)
(Someone as sweet and special as you)
(deserves someone
as loving and caring as him.)
[SPICY PORK BONE SOUP]
This one’s pretty meaty.
Easier to eat.
You seem to really like it.
Want me to cook this for you sometime?
Let’s just buy it.
You can’t even cook steak.
Wouldn’t it be nice?
We could spend time cooking together.
Actually, there are other activities
we could do together besides cooking.
those activities…
we can do anytime.
Mes called me today.
He said he’d write me a recommendation
letter for a scholarship in New York.
It’s a program that supports artists
and even provides accommodation.
But I’d have to stay there for a year.
Turn him down.
This Mes guy sure is persistent.
Do you want to go?
It’s a good opportunity.
I could keep working on
my character illustrations, too.
Can you really do both at the same time?
We can talk about it later.
It’s Friday.
Did someone invite you out partying?
I don’t know.
I haven’t gone out with those guys in ages.
Why?
I feel like drinking.
Of course.
Let me ask them.
Judging by your face,
you could use a strong drink.
What’s wrong?
Is it about Moth?
Yeah, bro.
Moth’s planning to go abroad.
What should I do?
If you don’t want him to go, why not tell him?
It’s his dream. It’s what he wants.
What right do I have to stop him?
Listen, Dean.
Whether you have the right
is for Moth to decide.
You just need to follow your heart.
I’ll be right back.
What are you guys talking about?
Why the long faces?
Nothing.
Let’s head back to our table.
Whoo-hoo!
Careful.
You look hot.
Thanks.
Hey, watch your step.
Look at them.
Should we head home now?
Sure.
Let me book a ride.
So, what are you going to do
about Mes’s offer?
I don’t know.
I need to think about it.
Do you want to go?
Be honest with yourself.
Do you want to go?
Honestly…
I do
I’m afraid I’ll regret it
for the rest of my life if I don’t go.
What about you?
Do you want me to go?
I think you should.
It’s a great opportunity.
If you decide to go, I wish you all the best.
The ride’s here.
Are you coming home with me tonight?
I’d better not.
I’ve got a headache and feel a little feverish.
I don’t want to give you the flu.
Fine.
I’m heading out, then.
I’ll walk you out.
I’m going, then.
Mm. See you.
Get him home safe, sir.
Why are you here?
Can you not go to New York?
What’s with you now?
What the heck are you doing?
Didn’t we already talk about this?
Can you please not go?
Just don’t go.
Please.
Will you stay with me?
You’re not going to leave me, are you?
You won’t, right?
Let’s stay together.
[OUT GETTING MY VISA PHOTOS
AND UNIVERSITY DOCUMENTS.]
[I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY.
DIDN’T WANT TO WAKE YOU.]
[LOCK THE DOOR ON YOUR WAY OUT.]
I’m glad you asked me to stay,
but I think…
I really should go.
I want to be true to my heart,
and it’s telling me.
I shouldn’t let this opportunity pass me by.
Don’t I have a place in your heart at all?
I’ll only be gone for a year.
I’ll be back before you know it.
Are you sure
things will still be the same a year from now?
Maybe I just love you that much ♪
So I get what’s happening to us ♪
Though I want you to stay ♪
Today I have to let you walk away ♪
No matter how much I love you,
It’s pointless ♪
I’ll let reality win,
Though my heart protests ♪
A thousand words of love
Make no difference ♪
This is where it ends ♪
Go.
Honestly, I’m so glad
you’re doing what you love
and following your dreams.
I’ll be waiting for you here.
I want to hug you one more time ♪
To remind me that once upon a time♪
We met and our hearts beat in rhyme ♪
Before you leave my arms tomorrow ♪
Before the word love has nowhere to go ♪
Even if tonight’s the last time ♪
I get to say I love you ♪
Even if tonight’s the last time ♪
[THE DOOR IS LOCKED.]
[MHM.]
[LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU GET HOME.]
Cheers!
The lights are gorgeous tonight.
Good luck, Moth.
If things work out for you there,
just stay there.
Don’t come back.
That doesn’t sound much like a wish.
You’re basically telling me to get lost.
If you can start a new life abroad,
then just stay there.
Come on, bro.
Don’t say that. I feel bad for Dean.
Why would you feel bad for him?
And seriously, what the hell?
We’re throwing Moth a going-away party,
and that jackass doesn’t even show up.
He’s busy with work.
Honestly, I don’t get him these days.
He keeps turning down my invitations.
Gosh, I’m so pissed.
Today, Pun and I threw Moth
a going-away party.
He said he’d go
partying with your friends afterward.
Tomorrow, he’s going to Phuket
to be with his parents
before flying to New York.
Yeah?
Mm.
Moth is leaving.
Aren’t you going to see him?
It’s better if I don’t.
If we’re going our separate ways,
we might as well start now.
It’s for the best.
You say you don’t want to see him,
but you’re on his Instagram all day.
Not to mention
you’ve been tailing Moth all month.
I could be on another planet
and still tell how much you miss him.
Why are you moping around
like some guy in a music video?
Just go see him and get it over with.
I’m not seeing him
because I’m trying to control myself.
Being away from him
is already driving me insane.
What if Moth changes his mind one day
and gets together with someone else?
Don’t you know that I could fcking die?
Huh?
I’m doing this to protect myself.
To keep myself from losing my mind.
Can you hear yourself?
You realize how much you love Moth?
Yes!
I know. I admit it. I love Moth so much.
I love him so much it’s driving me crazy.
But what can I do, huh?
What the fck can I do?
I tried everything to stop him.
Every damn thing.
really tried it all.
There’s nothing else I can do.
Do you understand?
Are you sure you’ve done everything?
You said it yourself.
You love him so much you’re going crazy.
You don’t want to lose him.
So are you sure you’ve done everything?
Hey!
Where are you going?
[MANIAC]
Hello.
Where are you?
(What did you say?)
Where are you?
It’s so loud. I can’t hear you.
(I’m at the club.)
Hello?
I’m at the club.
Are you coming?
Listen. I’m sorry I disappeared.
I can’t hear you.
Hello?
Did you say something?
I was just scared I’d lose my mind.
So I tried to disappear from your life.
I tried, but it really didn’t work.
(I love you so much. I’m sorry.)
What did you just say?
I said I’m sorry I disappeared.
(I tried to disappear from your life,
but it really didn’t work.)
I’m sorry.
It’s because I love you so much.
Moth.
Moth?
Can you hear me?
Damn it!
The light’s green! Why aren’t you going?
Hey! Where’s Moth?
Wow, took you long enough, dude.
Come on. Have a drink with us.
I’m not drinking.
Where’s Moth?
Just have a little.
Let go of me.
Hey, Dean.
Have you seen Moth?
He left.
He said he had to leave town tomorrow.
Shit.
- Ohm.
- Hm?
Scan your face.
Face scan complete!
What do you need my phone for, anyway?
There’s no way Ohm has Moth’s number.
I remember every single digit.
Hello.
(Hello. Where are you?)
Dean!
Is that you, Dean?
Yeah. Where are you?
(I can’t hear you.)
(Are you at the club?)
Yes. I thought you were here, so I came.
I’ll tell the driver to turn around.
No need.
It’s too crowded here.
Let’s talk somewhere else.
How about my place?
How long until you get home?
(About an hour.)
Then get out now.
Send me your location. I’ll come to you.
Now.
Shouldn’t we just meet at home?
No!
I want to see you as soon as possible.
I don’t want to waste any more time.
Not even for another second.
Hey!
My phone
What the hell was I thinking?
Who would wait for me?
Are you crazy?
You suddenly told me to get out of the car.
Yeah, I’m crazy because of you.
I missed you like crazy.
I’m crazy in love with you.
I was going crazy wanting to see you.
I’m crazy about everything.
I couldn’t stand the idea of
being apart from you.
So I tried to disappear from your life.
But I never expected it to hurt this much.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry I can’t give you
what you asked for,
but…
Can I give you my promise instead?
I understand if you don’t want to hear it
or believe my promises.
But even if we’re apart,
I’ll miss you every day,
very hour,
and every minute.
I’ll miss you to my very bones until I go crazy.
So, will you wait for me?
All this time, I thought…
I’d done everything I could
to keep you from leaving.
But I…
I haven’t really tried everything.
What are you doing?
Asking you to be my boyfriend.
Moth.
Will you be my boyfriend?
You can study wherever you want,
but if you agree to be my boyfriend today,
I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes.
I know
distance and time won’t change how I feel.
So
If we’re on the same page,
please be my boyfriend.
You’re already kneeling
to ask me to be your boyfriend.
What are you gonna do
when it’s time to propose marriage?
I have no idea.
I’ll figure that out when the time comes.
So, what’s your answer?
After everything I just said,
isn’t my answer obvious?
Yes.
Wait.
But…
I haven’t thought
that far ahead to marriage yet.
Can we…
take it one step at a time?
Don’t rush it.
Who said anything about marriage?
- You’re nuts.
- What? You just did!
No, I didn’t.
Then who did?
The boat? The water?
Who?
You maniac.
That’s cute.
Can you say that again?
Maniac.
I didn’t catch that.
Can you say it again?
You maniac!
I love it when you yell at me.
Can you say it loud and clear?
Dean, you maniac!
What?
Stop being so crazy, you crazy—
Maniac.
I know.
I know you love a maniac like me.
THREE YEARS LATER
Wow.
You don’t burn eggs anymore.
Well, humans are built to evolve.
Are you making fried rice?
Let me do it.
It’s fine. I’ve got this.
What?
Are you worried it won’t taste good?
Of course it’ll taste good. I didn’t say that.
My boyfriend’s cooking is always delicious.
That’s right.
Even if it doesn’t taste good,
you still have to eat it.
Because I’m doing my best.
How many times have I told you
to wear an apron whenever you cook?
What if you get your T-shirt dirty?
It’s limited edition.
It’s not easy to get.
You can’t buy it anywhere.
Limited edition
because nobody pre-ordered it, right?
I’m kidding.
Hey, I’m cooking here.
Then keep cooking.
I’ll just use my boyfriend
to recharge my energy.
Dean!
Go sit down and wait.
You’re so mean.
It’s not like I’m asking for much.
Let’s see, Chef.
What are you making?
Does that look like spaghetti to you?
Dr. Pun is opening a new branch next week.
You promised you’d do a review.
I’ve already scheduled the date and time.
Sorry to trouble you, Mr. 10M Reviewer.
It’s no trouble at all.
Just think of him as your friend’s boyfriend.
Don’t feel bad. He’s gotta do it for you.
Wow.
You’ve really leveled up
since you got together with Dr. Pun.
So this is what it feels like
to see a friend start a family.
It’s just that your kid has four legs
and likes sticking her tongue out.
- Don’t disrespect my child!
- Don’t disrespect my child!
Aw. Your child?
Go over there.
Bite him!
Finish him off!
- Get him, girl.
- Take him.
Keep your boyfriend in check.
I will.
Your kid keeps messing with me.
It’s not just Dean.
I feel that way, too.
What?
Seeing a friend start a family.
There’s a couple right in front of me.
Nope. You’re wrong.
Fine, you’re right.
Try to get used to it.
I’m happy you two finally got together.
I thought it’d happen after I died.
Honestly, I never thought
we’d get to this day.
But what could I do? I couldn’t resist him.
I really love him.
Stop indulging your friend.
Moth.
Are you back for good this time?
Um
Actually, a lot of companies
have offered me jobs,
and there are many galleries
where I want to exhibit my work.
But I’ve talked to them,
and they said I could stay in Thailand
and send them my work.
Kind of like a hybrid arrangement.
Yes!
That’s perfect.
What?
Why are you all looking at me?
Have you never seen
a happy person before?
Thank you for choosing me.
I didn’t choose you.
I just chose what’s best for me.
We’re together, after all.
I don’t want us to be apart forever.
When I miss you,
I want to share those little moments
that other couples get to have.
Oh, wow!
You finally said something sweet for once.
As if you’ve never had your own dark phase,
Mr…
Monsieur?
Monsieur. Monsieur.
Yes, Mr. Monsieur.
Monsieur.
Damn you!
Thanks for coming with me to visit my mom.
Why are you thanking me?
I really like your mom.
She’s sweet and a great cook.
If you like her so much,
why don’t you move here?
Are you serious?
I’m kidding.
A city boy like you
could never live in the countryside.
You couldn’t.
Think about it.
Who exactly couldn’t live here?
You’re more attached to city life than I am.
Actually, I could bring my work here
and stay at your mom’s house for a month.
Well, I used to be captivated by city life,
but now I think
I’m captivated by something else.
Please don’t finish that sentence.
I’m completely captivated by my boyfriend.
If my boyfriend doesn’t live here,
then neither do I.
Back then, I couldn’t even imagine myself
being in a relationship.
Thank you for coming into my life.
I never came into your life.
You’re the one who came into mine first.
I’m grateful to you anyway
for choosing to stay in my life
when a coward like me
didn’t even dare to think about love.
Mm.
I’m grateful to you, too,
for making me realize that
I deserve love, too,
and for making me feel like
someone sees my worth.
Even though you’re not
what I imagined my partner would be like.
Wait. What?
What’s wrong with me?
I’m nothing like the partner
you imagined at all?
Huh?
It’s not like you’re that different.
I just never thought I’d end up with a maniac.
It’s hard to believe
two maniacs like us could fall in love.
Nothing makes more sense than
two maniacs like us falling in love.
There’s no other way.
