The Prayer Once upon a time, there was a boy who prayed to the stars. Now, this was not unusual, for many little boys make many different prayers. But the heavens were moved by whom this boy was praying for.
Where others prayed for their own joy, the lad was praying about another boy.
Dear heavens above the boy prayed I think I’m in love I know not what to do
Now, the angels were curious. Come boy, they said, tell us more.
The boy was startled; he didn’t think they’d hear. Bravely, he spoke his mind, and continued his prayer.

can we talk about the casual intimacy of this episode? we don’t need to see kisses or bed scenes to know that sarawat and tine are two people who love and care deeply for each other. the cuddles, the grins, the excitement about moving in together, figuring out each other quirks and learning how to live with each other, opening cans of soda for each other, learning each other’s favourite dishes and ladling them out on the other’s plate, the quick cheek kisses, brushing their teeth together, sleeping in the same bed, the blushes, the fact that sarawat never pressures tine to tell his brother even when type prompts him to tell the truth multiple times…
it shows, without doubt, that sarawat and tine are two people in their first serious relationship. that they enjoy each other’s company, that they want it to work and so they make it work. the domesticity of this episode illustrates their relationship perfectly. two toothbrushes in a cup by the sink. their posters all over the walls. the bracelets. one bed. a life shared.
honestly, hats off to bright and win and the production team for portraying sarawat and tine as two real people who love each other dearly, for keeping their private moments private, and for showing them as two very different people who want to make their relationship work. this episode showcased how real the both of them are, and it was absolutely heartwarming to see.
“I didn’t know you had a romantic side…”
Sarawat’s ‘wtf is happening’ face
Tomorrow is another friday, another episode, another shot of pure ecstasy. I have withdrawal symptoms the rest of the week.
