Gorya and Thyme were having a moment... Thyme was probably telling her how he feels.

"I hope he told Lita, and tried to clear the air." she mumbled.

"Why did I see this coming?" Praepailin walked into Thyme's room when Gorya was tackling Thyme in his bed and *guess what?* screaming.

"You guys are so weird." Andrew laughed through facetime.

"What is this?" Praepailin heard behind her, and froze when she saw Lita.

"I'll call you later." Praepailin mumbled.

Andrew waved.

Thyme and Gorya were pulling apart, "It's not what you think." Gorya said with Thyme who said something different "Gorya didn't do anything wrong." in unison.

"Before you two explain," Lita started, "tell me first, how Gorya is here. Isn't this a space where no one can enter?"

"This is not-" Praepailin said trying to help them in the situation, but Lita put her hand forward shutting Praepailin up, "Let Gorya explain." she said and Praepailin scoffed.

"It's her who broke the rule afterall." Lita said, "Can you please explain how you're here?"

"You're not hiding or betraying me, are you?"

"They would never do that!" Praepailin said and walked off.

-x-

"You're a what now?" Praepailin shouted.

"The vase is expensive!" Gorya huffed as she sat on Praepailin's bed.

"I can pay for it."

"Mai pen rain P'Prae." Gorya told her.

"When do you start?" Praepailin asked Gorya.

"Tomorrow kha."

"Good luck, Thyme is-..." Praepailin thought for a second on how to word it, "a lot!"

"He can't be that bad-" Gorya said and Praepailin laughed.

-x-

"I hope no one sees me now, pleasee." Gorya pleaded.

"Too late!" Praepailin was in the room, her arms hooked with Ren who was taking a photo of Gorya feeding Thyme.

-x-

"Shiaa! This is the perfect shot, Ai Ren!" MJ teased, "You did well, my friend. Speaking of which, I will post it..."

Gorya jumped and tried to stop MJ, to only find out that he was joking.

"Phi Lollen." he said calmly, "We know, we won't cause any trouble. Okay?" (MJ in this scene tho, i want him as my bestie fr you guys!!!! I love this man so much)

"Are you stressing out?" Ren asked her and she nodded.

"I've got a lot on my plate. This thing with Lita is left unfinished, and I have to pay for this vase."

"Which I said I would do it for you. Thyme! what if I broke up with Lita for you?" Praepailin suggested again, but got shut off, Ren ruffled her hair and she did the same.

"I don't know how Kanning is doing either." Gorya finished.

"You don't need to worry about that!" MJ said, "We've sent our guy to help out your friend."

"He's the best one in business!" Praepailin added.

"Who?" she asked and MJ winked.

"No need to worry, our guy is resourceful, he might deliver a better job." MJ smirked at Praepailin and smirked back.

"Right now worry about your work okay?" Ren asked Gorya nodded, "Or else Aunty Yu might tell you off."

Aunty Yu was standing right in front of them, Gorya got up and said, "I should get back to work."

All three of them shifted closer to Thyme, "Now it's your turn, Lita hasn't picked up your calls, has she?" MJ asked while he put his hand on Thyme shoulder.

Ren sat on the armrest, and Praepailin who was previously sitting next to Ren in the side of the couch took his place in the couch and interlaced their fingers together.

"Yeah." Thyme said lowly, "I don't know what to do."

"I did some research, since what happened, Lita hasn't left her house. She has deactivated all her social media accounts. No one can reach her." MJ said, "So we'll try to see if we can catch her at home."

"Good let's go!" Thyme was about to get up but got put down by the three of them.

"No. Lita has ignored your calls because she doesn't want to see you."

"Let us handle it." Praepailin smiled lightly at her brother.

"But if I don't do anything..."

"Thyme, this is not weighing on you only. It's taking a toll on Gorya too. You stay here and look after her. You're the only one who can do this job."

"Leave other things to F4." MJ told him.

He fist bumped Thyme, "Okay?"

"Okay man." he fist bumped everyone.

"We should go." MJ stood up.

Praepailin hugged Thyme before going and standing next to MJ and Ren.

"But... you need to keep your distance from Gorya. Don't be too obvious." MJ warned.

"Seriously? This is me! Thyme!" he said as if he was some love expert.

"You are literally the worst at flirting, watch 2gether the series and watch how to flirt from Sarawat!" Praepailin told him.

They scoffed and left.

-x-

"Is Lita home?" Praepailin asked one of the workers.

"She said she doesn't want to see anyone kha." she answered.

"We just want to talk..." Ren tried to talk.

"Please khap." MJ joined.

"I'll go talk to Khun Lita." the worker agreed hesitantly.

"Khop khuna kha." Praepailin smiled lightly.

"Does anyone know what to tell her?" MJ asked.

"I thought you were gonna talk" Praepailin whispered yelled.

"You told Thyme that we will talk!" Ren told him.

"I thought Prae would talk!" MJ said.

"When have I ever done the talking?" Praepailin rolled her eyes.

"She doesn't want to talk kha..." the worker smiled at them sadly.

"Mai pen rai kha, thankyou for trying to help us." Praepailin smiled and grabbed the boys.

"What do we do?" Ren asked and Praepailin shrugged.

(andrew is left, prae is right)

she's not talking to us

this is just-

ikr

what do we do about us?

we should talk to your parents...
we'll have a better chance there
compared to my mae.

come over for lunch

okay<3

-x-

Praepailin parked her car in Andrew's driveway and rang the door bell.

"Is Andrew home?" she said and the househelp nodded.

Andrew came running towards the door and dragged Praepailin to his room.

"What?" she asked shocked.

"I'm scared." he admitted.

"Me too mung, but we have to do something." Praepailin said and he nodded.

"How do we do this?" he asked.

"Tell them that we don't have feelings for eachother honestly..?"

"As if that would work!" Andrew spat.

Praepailin rolled her eyes, "Where are they anyways?" she asked.

"Work... They'll be back in 45 minutes. So that's how long we have to brainstorm." Andrew said and Praepailin nodded.

Random suggestions were being thrown in the room, half of which made no sense whatsoever.

"oo, what if we tell them that I'm moving to abroad?" she said and he threw a pillow at her face.

"You're getting dumber by the minute."

"Tell them I'm an alcoholic or an addict!" she suggested again, "Nope, that was worse."

"yes it was."

"Drew... what are we even doing right now?" Praepailin huffed.

"Tell me about it."

"This isn't fair, we don't feel things for each other... why are we getting forced?" Praepailin threw Andrew's pillow at him and he threw it back.

"I like Lita." he said lowly as they were throwing the pillow back and forth.

"WHATTTT" Praepailin threw the pillow aggressively at Andrew's face.

"Yeaah?" he said sheepishly and threw the pillow back.

"Aw, that is so cute! How did you know!! I didn't know you two even talked to each other." Praepailin was clearly fangirling.

"I talked to her on the funeral once and we kinda sorta danced at prom... we called a couple of times too." Andrew said, his face was tinted crimson.

"I ship!" Praepailin giggled and threw the pillow at him again.

"Sooo... you gonna ask her out? NEEDMYHELP?I'LLBEYOURMATCHMAKER!!!" Praepailin blurted out.

"If you help me, I won't even have the chance I have right now." he mocked.

"Mean!" she spat.

"Bully" he spat back.

"Ai Sutt!"

that's how all the pillows in Andrew's room were destroyed...

"We still didn't think of a plan!" Praepailin screamed and started cleaning the mess she made.

"I hate this! this sucks! I don't wanna be set up cause of business!" Andrew screamed.

"Tell that to our parents." Praepailin mumbled and cleaned up.

Their conversation was cut short when they heard the room's door being knocked.

"Ma, Pa! you guys are back!" Andrew said while he tried to not sound on edge.

"Sawasdee kha, khun Pa, khun Lung." Praepailin wai'ed.

(pa is aunty, lung is uncle.)

"Sawasdee ja!" Andrew's mother greated and smiled fondly at the girl, "Call us Ma, Pa. We are past the formality."

"Dai kha Khun Ma, Khun Pa."

"What did you two want to talk about over lunch?" Andrew's father asked him.

"Let's go to the dining area first." Andrew suggested.

-x-

Meanwhile, Lita tried to move in with Thyme. Which went downhill.

-x-

Gorya was sent to the Art of Gastronomic Taste. To buy things.

Gorya looked completely zoned out staring at a package of whatever food she was supposed to buy.

Ren was in there as well, when he noticed her and brought her out of her thoughts.

"Oh, P'Ren, are you shopping for groceries?" she asked.

"Mmm, Prae demanded that we do movie night properly." He laughed and Gorya joined in.

She really loved Praepailin, she was one of the firsts to treat her equally. She was kind to her, treated her like a sister. She was so happy to see her being happy like that.

She would definitely consider Praepailin as her close friend. She knew she had the freedom to tell her anything her heart desires.

She was probably the first person she admitted about her feelings for Thyme.

"I see someone standing here staring vacantly for 10 minutes." Ren indirectly tried to make her open up, "So I got a bit concerned."

Gorya didn't answer, so Ren leant against the aisle, looking all cute like he always did, with his perfect face and expressions.(i got carried away... he's so perfect) "Is this about Lita?" he asked.

Gorya nods and tells Ren everything.

"I can't believe how vicious Lita can be." he said and pushed Gorya's trolley for her. (such a gentleman<3)

"I get it..." Gorya answered.

"Lita must feel like she's betrayed. She's just doing everything she can to reclaim what is hers." Gorya said nonchalantly, "no one wants to lose."

"It's true... are you anxious about Thyme?" he asked.

She turned around, "Anxious about Thyme? Not at all." She shook her head in confidence, "I trust Thyme."

"The person I am worried about... is Lita. The more I trust Thyme, The more I know how badly this will hurt Lita, and there's nothing I can do for her."

"Whatever, I've done everything I can. The only thing to do is wait."

"So." she smiled at Ren, "you don't have to feel upset on my account." and Ren smiled back (no, gorya doesn't touch his face here lol) "Let's ring these up!"

-x-

Ren came back to his condo with a bunch of microwave popcorn, soda's and a bunch of junk food they were not supposed eat... but who cares!?

"You're backkk!" Praepailin ran towards Ren and jumped on him after he put the grocery bags down.

"Why are you so clingy?" he hugged her back and put her down.

Praepailin doesn't say anything. Instead she takes a step closer to him. She smiles at him which he gladly returns.

Before Ren could further question her, Praepailin stood on her toes and brought Ren's face closer to her own, they were close enough that they were sharing the same air. Praepailin smashed his lips against hers.

Her hands cupping his face and his holding onto her shoulders to keep her steady.

Soon both of them smiled into the kiss.

Their lips moved in sync, it made Praepailin's face heat up. It felt the same way it did when they had kissed for the first time in Ren's car, where they had shared their I love you's.

Butterflies erupted in both their stomachs.
Ren's heart was beating out of his chest and so was Praepailin's.

This went on for a minute or so until they pulled away due to lack of oxygen in their lungs.

Both of them trying to get their breathing steady, foreheads against one and another.

"Gu rak mung, Ren." she mumbled against his lips.

"Gu rak mung" he repeated.

"Now tell me what happened." Ren said.

"I'm not engaged to anyone anymore!" Praepailin jumped up and down.

"HOww!?"

"So where to begin," Praepailin said with a fake british accent like Millie Bobbie Brown.

(flashback to lunch with the Ruangwiwat's)

"So...? Care to tell us?" Andrew's mother asked.

"Um... it's about us..." Andrew started.

"Well, go on" his father pushed.

"When are we getting married? I absolutely cannot wait!" Andrew choked.

Praepailin kicked him under the table giving him a glare.

"We overheard your conversation... you don't have to tell us Prae is a drug addict." Andrew's father joked.

"What? You heard us?" Andrew squeaked.

"You could have told us you know.? We would never let you marry someone you don't love." His mother smiled fondly.

"We just thought you liked each other cause of the date you two went on a while back." His father told them.

"The wedding is off?" Praepailin asked... almost too scared to get her hopes up.

"It's off." His mother said.

"Oh my god, thank you thank you so much." Praepailin said almost tear eyed.

"Khop khuna khap Ma, Pa." Andrew said.

"What about my mae kha?" she hoped they would do something.

"We'll talk to her. Don't worry, we know when she makes up her mind how hard it is." his parents smiled at Praepailin.

-x-

"That is amazing!" Ren hugged her.

"I know right!!!" she smiled, "now we need to sort out the shit between Thyme and Lita."

"One problem at a time." Ren pecked Praepailin and went back to the groceries to get the popcorn.

"Let's celebrate this win first. We don't get this a lot." he said.

"Mm Hmm, you're right."

They curled up in the couch just like they always did and watched.

"khwan rak (love )is strange, it sometimes comes to you when you least expect it. When it comes to you, it brings you joy, pain, memories, and sweet memories that are hard to forget. sometimes it makes you do crazy things. it makes you become a person whom you don't want to be. i used to think if i give love everything i have, i'll gain it back one day. i wanted to win. before i knew it, i disregarded your feelings. i'm such a bad person. maybe this is why you're in thyme's heart. no, in everyone's heart. because you always think about others. you know that, gorya? whatever... i'm done being the bad guy in your story. i should love myself more. go study like i've always dreamed. discover my future. and make myself worthy enough to get a fresh start. sorry for the short notice. and sorry for being afraid to tell you face to face. but there's one thing i want to tell you. i'm so happy to have met you and been your friend. thankyou and i will always miss you from USA.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" Praepailin asked Lita and gave her a hug.

"I want to." Lita smiled.

"I'll miss you." Praepailin said, "I know, me too." Lita smiled at her.

"Don't miss us too much." MJ teased.

"Oh shut up." Lita
