"A bit closer to your mom, please." "Good, good." "That's great." "Now hug your Mom, okay?" "Good." "Put your faces next to each other, please." "That's it, perfect." "Bua," "I know I couldn't change your mind about divorcing your husband but I want you to know" "That I've behaved myself to protect my families' reputation until now." "So be careful, and don't you spoil it." " Morning, Joom." " Good morning, Da." "Uh Da?" " Hmm?" " Nothing." "Has she seen it yet?" "Maybe not." "Why do you look so stressed this early in the day Sis?" "What's wrong?" "What is it?" "Don't worry, alright?" "The whole office has already seen it, right?" "That bastard Wat is damn wicked, doing this to you." "So what do you wanna do now?" "How about I let you take leave for a week until it's quiet down and then you can come back to work." "And don't worry about your columns all the readers will surely wait for a talented writer like you to come back." "But the thing is during this while, they'll enjoy seeing my other thing, right?" "Hello!" "Got the flowers I sent you yet?" "Got it!" "And did you read the card?" "Not yet." "What did you write?" " It says "I miss you"." " I don't believe you..." "Bastard!" "Don't ever let me see you again, you hear?" "Nothing else to sell so you sold me, huh?" "Well, when will I know how you feel toward me then?" "I hate you!" "Shouldn't have believed you." "Where should we go tomorrow?" "Go to hell!" "Whose voice is that?" " Hey, I'll call you back, okay?" " Hurry too." "Alright." "Hey, have some decency, could you?" "Only being dumped by a guy, what's the big deal?" "And what's that have to do with an abnormal like you." "Get lost, you homo bitch!" "What the?" "Is it my fault or what?" "Hey Sis, the same as usual." "Unbelievable, the girl is all over me." "Good looking but she is a fool, living next to my room." "Be careful though." "Quarreling and messing around may make you unexpectedly fall in love with her." "No way." "You know me, I don't believe in love." "Tell you what, you don't choose love, love chooses you when and where and to whom." "And before you know it, you've already fallen in love." "June, can you take care of this project for me?" "The client is the owner of a famous resort in Pattaya." "She wants to make a new brochure." "But I'm more familiar with portraits." "C'mon... you're the only person that can handle such a detailed and serious person like Mrs Bua." " The photographer's here, Ma'am." " Oh yeah?" "You go do something else first, okay?" "Hello Miss." "I heard you're a very talented photographer." "Thanks, ma'am." "This place is so beautiful." "We've just renovated our resort, we want to change our old image." "And still keep the policy of privacy though." "What's your opinion?" "Since you've already changed your image now why surround yourself in the old frame still?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Sometimes we should do something out of the ordinary, right?" "How long do you think you need to work around here?" "Next week, the most." "I just need to do the concept presentation before shooting." "Well go ahead, I'll excuse myself then." "Thank you, ma'am." "What happens to the faucet here, Sohn?" " Maybe broken, I'll go fetch the tools to fix it, ma'am." " Alright." "Whoa" "You're alright, ma'am?" "Well, where is Sohn, why isn't he here?" "I sent him to check out the faucet and this is what happens to me." "You're all wet, ma'am, you could catch cold though." "I'm okay." "But look at Miss June here." "It's alright, just a shower and a change of clothes and I'll be ok." "Let's go, ma'am." "Just tell me if you feel like showering again next time, okay?" " These are documents to sign, ma'am." " Sure." "Do you happen to know Miss June's boss, Jitra?" "I just wanna know about her background a little." "She seems like a courageous girl who dares to think and present some new things." "From what I've heard, she loves her privacy but kind of serious with her work." "Maybe because she had to work since childhood to earn money for her education though." " Oh okay, thanks a lot." " Thank you, ma'am." "Wouldn't you stop here a bit, Sister?" "You know what?" "You're facing bad luck during this while." "Looks like your career could lead to some success this year but again, there'll be problems and obstacles which could lead you to change your job, to do something you don't wanna do." "Kind of to prove yourself though." "But I believe you're talented enough to do it." "Ready to continue doing your job, Da?" "Well I'm calm now." "But to be back to write the old story" "I don't think so." "Then you should find some new issue which is very near to everyone in society." "Something to attract the female readers and is trendy now..." "No, I don't want to get involve with women who have mental disorders." "That's the point, Da." "The homosexual women." "I think my own story would be even more interesting." "Turn the crisis into opportunity, will you?" "Women who got dumped by men then turn to love someone of the same sex." "It's trendy right now." "It's kinda no fun at all because some other magazines already did these articles." "Sure they did." "But ours would be different because our writer will try that experience herself." "What a great idea, Sis." "Push your little sister to try something unnatural, huh?" " Hey?" " What?" "Come over here." "Won't you reward me for taking you out today?" "Well, what'd you like?" "How about a kiss." "Mm..." "I don't think so." "Oops!" "Don't be shy, okay?" "C'mon Da, You certainly didn't dread that scoop you did on the playboy article, remember?" "I don't dread it, I just don't like it." "If you don't, then I'll be forced to assign this job to your competitor instead." "And you know she's been waiting to replace you, right?" "You're right, there's nothing that a girl like me couldn't do." "Would like to dinner with you tonight." "7 PM, my room I'll be waiting Darin." "What trick is this?" "Wow, you are dressed nicely." "Going somewhere later?" "Nope." "Come in." "Hey, I've prepared lots of food for you here." "Straight from 7-11, you know?" "Hmm." "But I'm sure you're on a diet huh?" "That's okay." "Then you can try the vegetable salad." "No need to be considerate, okay?" "This meal is on me." "Hmm good looking spaghetti, smells so nice" "and delicious too!" "Go on, go on." "Hey I just realized now that you're as handsome as a young man too." "The reason I invited you here tonight is because I need your advice on something." "Something very private" "and there's only you who can help me" "And how would you like me to help you?" "Promise first, that you'll help." "Not a big deal." "It's just that I'm going to write an exclusive article about the "tomboy"." "And what makes women love women." "Oh?" "Seducing a man to do whatever you want wasn't enough so now you want to seduce a tomboy too?" "I'm not!" "Well my tomboy's honor is not for sale." "If you don't agree to help," "I'll keep harassing you until no girl dares to touch you." "I'm still single, and I'm not a playboy, really." "Here is your order." "Yummy!" "Do you want the third party to join you?" "Damn!" " Am I interrupting something?" " Not at all." "While passing by your room, I heard a song." "Wouldn't have thought a modern age girl like you would listen to an oldie like that too." "Well this song is my mom's favorite." "Feels like she's next to me every time I listen to it." " Are those the pictures you took yourself?" " Yes" " Can I take a look?" " Certainly." "These are very good shots." "Isn't this so much prettier than in person?" "Pretty woman, always pretty no matter which angle you choose to take." "I don't think so." "I think it depends on the photographer." "When taking someone's picture, which part do you like to shoot most?" "The eyes." "Why does the photographer become so shy in front of the camera?" "Huh?" "What's so fun about shooting photographs?" "I like taking pictures of people because I love to read people." "And I'm taking your pictures because..." "I want to know... what's on your mind." "Hello?" "Hey June, It's Koh" "How's the job I sent you?" "Did Mrs. Bua give you any headaches?" "In foreign countries they call women who love other women "the lesbian" or "LB"" "One who dresses real macho is called "hard BUTCH"" "And one who dresses softer is called "soft BUTCH", mostly this kind doesn't expose herself much" "But in Thailand, it's obvious because the tomboys always dress so manly" "And the ladies are brave enough to show off that they love the tomboys." " Hey, I have a question" " Huh?" "How come you like a woman?" "And do you still think you're a woman?" "And what kind of girl do you like?" "Well no eating then." "One question at a time, okay?" "Which one first?" "I just want all the answers." "Whoa!" "And what makes you want to do the article about lesbian life?" "Well I'm a columnist," "I just have to search for stories to write about." "Yeah?" "What kind of girl do you like?" "Umm a cute one" "Sweet and tender." "You!" "I didn't mean it's you." "Here, come add some sugar to sweeten you up." "Thank you." "Hey yours." "So how do you know this one's a girl who likes girls?" "It's very hard to tell which one is the LB." "But if you observe their behavior real close you'll just know it." "Is there anyone in Bangkok who'll miss you while you're here in Pattaya?" "Being alone sometimes is a good choice too you know." "What's your perspective about love, June?" "Love is a feeling that two people have for each other." "And have you already found the kind of love you need?" "Would it be wrong if we should be happy" "with someone who's also a woman?" "It's not your fault really." "It's just that time has changed everything." "What about mother and our daughter?" "I'll tell mother myself." "As for our daughter I believe one day she'll understand." "For the whole 20 years we've been married" "I never realized that you're this cold-hearted." "For you time may have changed your mind." "But for me there's never even one day that I would change my mind about you." "I'm going to the Resort tomorrow." "But you don't have to worry because everything will still be the same." "When a girl loves a girl, they'll feel the warmness." "They'll feel like they're the only two people in the world." "Soapy again." "Hey" "What?" "Take me to the lesbian bar, will you?" "Whoa!" "I couldn't write!" "No feeling at all." "I wanna woo a tomboy." "Whoa, dare to invest that much, huh?" "Hmm" "Well" "Please" "Alright." "But on one condition." "Hey!" "Let's make a deal first, okay?" "There are both good and bad people here and most of them look for partners." "Therefore if I'm not okay with it, you mustn't go with anyone at all alright?" "Most lesbians come here to have a good time." "So only tomboys, ladies and Les can enter, right?" "Correct." "And how do they woo someone?" "You really wanna know?" "Then watch." "Good evening." "I'm Thom." "I'm Da." "May I sit with you?" "You're welcome to..." "First time, right?" "Because I've never seen you here before." "Right." "This is my first time." "And you're here with your lover, right?" "No, with a friend." "Is there anything I can help you with?" "You really wanna help me?" "Uh huh." "Well, it's up to you then." "How about we go find a quiet place outside to talk then?" "Alright." "Come on, Let's go." "Hey Sis?" "Yes?" "Where's the girl who came with me?" "Oh she went out." "Why not listen to my warning at all?" "Here we are." "Welcome to my home, dear." "Cheers for our day." "Come, I'll show you the rest of the house." "Follow me." "How do you like my room?" "Are you a little drunk, Da?" "Not at all." "How about..." "Having fun together?" "Not too soon, darling." "I'd like to try something strange." "You have to show me how strange you can be." "Damn, we're two of a kind then." "Wait a minute, alright?" "I'll be back real soon." "And hurry too!" "Ta-da!" "Stay still!" "Here!" "Ow!" "Da" "Where have you been?" "Don't you know I'm worried?" "Do you ever feel lonely?" "So alone and need someone beside you" "to understand you, be honest to you," "and really love you?" "What you're doing won't help ease your pain you know." "The difference between us is a girl like you got hurt by men" "but me" "I got hurt by women." "Someone like you could be hurt by a woman?" "Well..." "I never use woman for my pleasure." "Instead I choose to give them pleasure." "Can you give me that kind of pleasure too?" "What are you thinking?" "I don't think anyone would understand." "Used to feel like I've known this one person for a long, long time." "Feel like staying near to." "To take care, to be friends with" "without needing anything in return." "Even though maybe that person" "doesn't want me at all." "What made you kiss me, June?" "You like me, right?" "You're fear, I knew it." "Fear of what?" "To show your real feeling." "If I say it out loud what do I get?" "Then I'll be able to know if you're feeling" "the same way as me or not." "Hey, come sit over here, will you?" "The view's a lot more beautiful from here." "Come" "So beautiful, huh?" "Sometimes you need to give yourself some reward too, Da." "You come here often, right?" "How many girls you've already brought here to dinner?" "You're the first one I brought here." "No way, because I always see you with girls no matter where you go." "Don't be so quick to judge, ok?" "Things you've never tried, you should try." "Hmm" "Things you've never tried you should try." " Smells so good." " Looks yummy, right?" "It seems impossible for a tomboy like you to get along well with dessert making though." "There are so many things in this world that would seem to never get along, but somehow they do." "Us, for example." "What attracts you to making desserts?" "How come so many questions today?" "What's the attraction?" "Don't know." "But I like to make dessert since childhood." "It makes me happy when I have a chance to make them for my special person." "So you keep making people happy, huh?" "Is there anything that would make you really happy?" "Though she divorced your dad but still she's your mom, right?" "If my mom loves me she wouldn't divorced my dad." "Why must she do this to us?" "You're always demanding attention, you know?" "Have you ever considered your Mom's feeling at all?" "Prair" "Before going to study in England," "Don't you think about going to spend some time with your Mom?" "Though she didn't say a thing but still you should know how she feels, right?" "And what about you, dad, how do you feel?" "Well, the things between your Mom and I are adult issues." "But to hurt yourself like this, it won't help improve anything, you know." "And what about the way she hurt us, dad?" "Good morning, mother." "Why didn't you call first so I could come to pick you up?" "Well I didn't know in advance, your husband just persuaded me unexpectedly." "Everyone happens to be free at the same time, that's all." "Hey, I heard that you're sick, are you alright now?" "I'm fine." "Welcome to Pattaya Sea Sand Sun Resort and Spa" "You guys are such a sweet couple though." "Today I just came to interview for the last time before we wrap up this issue." "Alright." "Prair, my dear" "I'm all sweaty, mom." "Please excuse me for now, okay?" "Sure." "Oh hey, the pictures in the new brochure are excellent though." "Did you use the same old photographer?" "Oh no, the photographer is Miss June." "She's been working with us for two months now." "Well I still have some work to finish, excuse me please." "Maybe death could torture me less than being alive but this is how it is." "Me?" "I'm in Pattaya." "Didn't wanna come but my dad forced me to." "Oh, that's it for now, I'll call you later." "Prair" "I've already contacted the place for you to stay in England." "Don't worry about me, mom, I can take care of myself." "Why do you say that my dear?" "You're my child." "And why must I do everything you tell me to Mom?" "I wanna do whatever I feel like doing, that's all." "Just like you, do everything as you please." "Hey, what did I do?" "You felt like leaving and you did, you didn't care about us." "You never considered who'd be sorry because of you." "Prair" "The thing between your Dad and I, you just misunderstood." "Oh, a misunderstanding huh?" "Do I really misunderstand, mom?" "You do everything just for yourself you threw away everything and everyone." "Prair" "Please let me go, mom." "I hate you" "I hate you most!" "Prair!" " Mom, good morning." " Oh hey, good morning." "Oh." " This is my friend, Da." " Nice to meet you, dear." "C'mon, come inside." "I'm so glad that you've come dear." "Miss you so very much, mom." "How come you're so skinny?" " Lots of work at the shop, mom." " Take some rest, will you?" "Lately your dad's been complaining to me so often that he'd like everyone to be home altogether again." "Alright, you guys just go to eat the barbecue outside, go on." "Umm, everything looks delicious, huh?" "You remember uncle Tad and auntie Waew, right?" "Can't even say they haven't seen you since you were a child cos, in fact, you were still in my womb." "Come, come sit with us, lots of food here." "Oh you guys just go ahead, I'll go roast the barbecue first." "Good, good, and bring some for me to taste too, okay?" "Alright, go on, go on." "Malee, you look exceptionally beautiful today you know." "Happy because your daughter has come to visit?" "Here, come sit with us, Tawn, come." "Alright, alright." "So how's life after retirement, Bro?" "Are there any projects you want to do next?" "Nothing at all." "I would rather spend time with my family." "So now you are comfortable now but me, I'll still continue being tired." "But I'm also thinking about early retirement because my kids want me to rest." "Just choose who you want to believe yourself or your kids?" "Brother Tawn as I've known him until now," "There were two times in his life that he was the happiest." "First time was when he married you and the second time, for him" "was when he held Bee in his arms for the first time." "Bee, today's your dad's birthday." "It would be nice of you to bless him." "Please?" "From the first day I could remember things," "Dad always sang songs really loud when he was home." "He always bragged that he had a great voice and someone wanted him to release an album." "But he chose to discard everything... just for his family." "From then till now," "I never had a chance to tell you" "that even though you never had a chance to become a great singer, you will always be a superstar singer in my heart." "Bee" "I've asked myself what did you do wrong," "that made me so angry" "that I never forgave you." "Were you wrong that you are what you are." "I've never told you at all, have I?" "That I'm proud and I love my child so very much too." "Will you please give your dad a second chance?" "Not afraid your husband would come and see?" "Are you jealous or what?" "I don't have a right to be." "And where are you going?" "You better go." "Your world isn't right here." "You don't understand, June." "What about you?" "Do you understand your own feeling at all?" "Try asking yourself for once if you're feeling the same as me, can you?" "Vee" "Is this the reason you left me and our kid?" "At first I never wanted to believe our daughter's words but now" "I knew already that you're" "absolutely selfish!" "No!" "Vee!" "Vee!" "She's safe now." "Oh." "But I'm really sorry to tell you this." "She is in the final stages of cancer and she won't live for long." "I hate you," "I hate you most!" "Prair!" "Bua, though I'm not the one you love anymore" "I still want you to be happy in the final days of your life with someone you really love." "The truth is always painful." "Painful to tell the one I love that" "I'm about to be gone." "I keep counting the days and wait for death to come." "Until I happened to meet you." "It helps me to forget about death." "I surreptitiously seize happiness from the time that's left" "with the last love of my life." "I apologize." "Apology is not the answer to the question:" "How do I go on living... during days without you." "Mom asked to divorce me because she knew she would not be with us for long." "She accepted the guilt to give us strength to get on with our lives after she is gone." "What about that girl, Dad?" "She helps fulfill your Mom's needs in ways she never did from me." "Why not, huh?" "Can I not give happiness to a woman I love?" "So please spend the time that's left with your mom for as long as you possibly can" "before we won't have the chance anymore." "A Moment Bakery, good morning." "Alright." "And" "One espresso, shake." "Okay." "Hey, what's that on your face?" "Damn, what a waste!" "I'll go to the rest room." "Call when you're bored with the tomboy, alright?" "I missed you so much, Da." "I know you still love me, Da." "The girl loves girl column has earned us a very good rating, you know." "Also a company wants to buy the rights from you to publish a pocketbook." "So please wrap it up nicely for me too, okay?" "Hey, aren't you happy at all?" "This is your dream come true, isn't it?" "Think I'll stop writing after this wrap up, Sis" "Just go ahead with your decision if it makes you happy." "Nobody could read your mind better than yourself, right?" "Da, I'm glad for you, that you know what you want." "Play nicely, alright?" " Jinn" " Hey Da!" " What brings you here, dear?" " Vacation, Sis." "Anything?" " You're here all along, huh?" " Yes." "So this is what you want for your life?" "Being a teacher, dedicated to the children?" "How do you know that these things would make your life happy?" "Da, everyone knows in their heart what they want in life." "You just have to open your heart and accept the fact, that's all." "When I was little I used to think that if I'm rich, and famous," "including being accepted, it could take the place of love for me." "I agreed to do everything to get what I want." "And now I hurt someone who is very close to me." "Da, it's not too late to start all over again, okay?" "Try loving yourself for real this once, Da." "No matter how dedicated I am, in the end they only see me as just a girl." "Dear Bee do not be afraid to love if that feeling is right." "Love even though you know it'll hurt, huh?" "Though knowing it will hurt" "but still we'll accept it because of love, won't we?" "Bee?" "What are you doing here?" "I have something to tell you." "Oh, me too." "Thanks for making me realize" "that a tomboy could come only this far." "You're misunderstanding!" "I'm not an idiot, Da." "There's a girl who's been searching for love throughout her whole life." "Until someone came along, that made her stop." "As the days passed by, the feelings grew stronger until she started to become confused" "that she should only have those feelings for a guy and not a girl." "There are plenty of good guys who could love and take care of you better than me." "But I love you, Bee." "And I don't want to wait for miracles anymore." "I'm so sorry" "I love you." "I love you too." "Time moves on as it should..." "But I" "never realized its value." "I'm so sorry, mom." "No matter how many mistakes you've made," "I never got mad, never hated you at all." "Just remember, child no matter where I am" "my heart will be with you always." "For me, you are the most precious gift of my life." "I love you, mom." "I love you!" "Thank you..." "Everything that happened would be just a dream." "And in that dream" "I had a chance to tell you that" "I love you, Bua." "With volitations to all couples in love and every heart that's filled with love."
