"You could get sick in my bed and I wouldn't even care. It might be a bit annoying to change the sheets but I wouldn't make you help."
Pete : *handing Kinn a bottle of water* Here you go
Kinn : What's this for?* takes the bottle and starts drinking *
Pete : I was worried. Porsche says you usually get thirsty around him
Kinn : *suddenly choking on the water* He said WHAT?!
#fr tho #pete your duality is insane xD #kinnporsche #pete KinnPorsche #kinn Theerapanyakul #porsche pachara Kittisawad #incorrect KinnPorsche
Honestly VegasPete ship would never sail if Kinn had just paid more attention to the situation.
I'm not talking about him forgetting. It's when Vegas lies to him via text that Pete is going to see his grandmother who fell & probably got hurt .
Kinn you had the brains to ask her about his whereabouts but not her health?!🤦♀️ If only Kinn had even vaguely asked about how she fell he'd have discovered the lie.
And no grandma wouldn't have lied & agreed she's hurt. Because Vegas has told Pete had been given a vacation from the major family & not something he got from cooking up this excuse.
Seriously Kinn, if only you had remembered to be a little more courteous & paid attention to detail🤧🤦♀️
1. Makkachin snuggling with Yuri to the point Victor gets jealous 🤭
2. Yuri sharing about Vicchan and Victor & Makkachin giving him a big warm hug

4. A family portrait of Yuri & Victor holding Makkachin featuring their engagement rings!!
5. Ok a bit too much but agape should be about Makkachin fr bcs what else is unconditional love 😭
6. Nishigori triplets pampering Makkachin when Yuri and Victor are away for tournament !

Thinking about how this poem referenced in Hometown Cha Cha Cha perfectly suits KimChay.💔 Quite literally 😔 considering their interactions happen near entrances 🥺 not to mention they were each other's muse 😭😭😭😭
"The Gatekeeper" by Kim Haeng Soon (tr. David Bowles)
It’s my job to say, “You can’t do that here.”
It’s my job to deny your objective.
It’s my job to deny you the next day, too.
It’s my job to wait for you the following day to deny you again.
It’s my job to wait for you the day after that and fall in love with you.
So it’s my job to deny my love.
“I won’t cry over my vocation,” I wrote.
But while writing in my diary,
I sometimes wept.
okay but why does Tinn look absolutely gorgeous when smitten but I am staring at my crush I look like an absolute idiot
# tinn being completely & utterly unaffected by gun
in my school president (2022), episode 2 ( part 2/? )
Kim : So what's your type?
Chay : Handsome, musician, kind, good hair, oblivious, charming, mysterious and talented.
Kim : Sounds a lot like me...too bad we're just friends
Chay : Did I mention oblivious?
Kim : Yeah, why?
Chay : Okay, just making sure
It is a known fact that Vegas wears a million masks & has lost himself in the process. These could be one of the two reasons he visits a temple despite being a ruthless criminal.
Guilt : As his human side surfaces in ep 11, it now seems believeable that Vegas indeed feels a tinge of guilt for any of these reasons :
Taking away innocent lives
Manipulating people to fall in love with him only to kill them later (they could be the only form of affectionate touch he gets except from Macau)
Having to raise Macau, the only family he loves & trusts, in a toxic environment
Vegas probably wakes up every morning only to fulfil his duties as a son & heir without any self driven motivation. (He doesn't even seem to know himself as Vegas without the Theerapanyakul) He is probably clinging to this mafia life just because there is no alternative. Also there's a need to shield Macau from their toxic father.
Perhaps he goes gives offerings to the temple to beg forgiveness for the sins he's obliged to commit. He could've felt guilty for failing to protect Macau or constantly disappointing his father by always being the second best after Kinn. He might also believe he is paying for the sins of his past lives. Or fear the sins of this life shall carry on to the next.
Which leads me the second possible reason - Lack of purpose.
People commonly turn to spirituality to find answers for questions like - Who am I? What is the purpose of life? Questions which Vegas definitely seems inclined to find answers for. Because he feels unwanted. Unloved. Unworthy. And then in ep 7, he watches Pete.
Pete, who happens to be passing by, stops & bows when he notices a shrine. Earlier in the ep we see Pete asking Big to stop trashing a rival gang member afraid it would lead to his death. This shows Pete's compassionate side despite being in a job that demands you to be violent & merciless. (Yes they needed him to live to make him talk but he neither seemed to have bled nor fainted. We only see Big hitting him only a couple of times prior) Vegas must have considered if faith in God is what keeps a person like Pete from crumbling. So decides to give God a chance.
But someone makes him realize he wants something from life. Which for once, doesn't have to do with his family. Pete.
He might have tried talking to deal with the awkwardness of being caught while spying. But this sentence means a lot to Vegas who has probably never experienced platonic love. No one had ever asked him about his likes or dislikes without intending to use it against him. And now all he wants is someone to whom he can ask about interests & be asked back . So he answers.
However, the peace may not be from just hearing the sermon, but from hearing it alongside Pete. Vegas has never been treated like a commoner before. The absence of hierarchy in this conversation oddly liberates him. And for the first time, he admits to having desires; in his own way.
By next life he could have meant "In a life where we are not us". He wished Pete was his friend in a world where he could afford to have one. A life where he was not his father's son or the minor family's heir. An alternative universe where Pete was not one of his rival's fiercely loyal head bodyguard. Where Vegas didn't have to constantly switch personalities & Pete was still his non-judgemental self.
For the first time Vegas could sense a craving for a human relationship that didn't have to be bound by money, blood or blackmail. And he readily did a ritual if it meant something to his newfound desire.
But the type of love he craves can be found in any relationship. Considering his upbringing, he seems to believe blood or romantic relationships are utilitarian. Which only leaves friendships. A luxury he never had as a mafia prince.
Now to ruin the mood we all know what happens next😂 Pete is fucking attractive so Vegas couldn't hold back & needed an excuse to touch him I guess 🤣🤣
However it is worth noting that humans have multiple layers to their personalities. Moreover humans do tend to look for what they lack in their partners. So it's only normal for Vegas to find that comforting friend in Pete.
PS forgive me if I'm wrong this is my first time posting my own theory/interpretation 😛😅😭
Part 1/4
Lets first look at the 2 personas of Kimhan Theerapanyakul
Kim
Third son of the major family
Shrewd, calculative & sort of a silent killer in human form
Has no difficulty stopping emotions from meddling with his rational mind
Grew up in a world of organised crime
Watched his eldest brother get kidnapped & suffer from unhealed trauma
Was encouraged to inculcate trust issues & never believe in the goodness that exists in the world
Extremely good at reading people
Introverted
The last 2 points could either be inherent or acquired. Witnessing his brothers struggle, the constant rivalry between major & minor family must have made him lose his innocence quite early without even trying. (Imagine how sick it can be when the adults encourage cousins to be rivals)
I strongly believe he discovered something disturbing about his family which made him choose to move out & isolate himself. His ability to shut down his emotions with ease could again be inherent or acquired, but it only makes him more dangerous if he were to actively get involved in crime.
He could be gathering information after moving out for either of the following reasons
He discovered a family secret he shouldn't have which even his elder brothers are unaware of
He is disinterested in the family business & power play; lucky enough to have Kinn who made the sacrifice
It's all a disguise to gather intelligence & protect his brother from far
He has a plan which should be executed without his father's knowledge
WIK
Student at a music school
Celebrity, singer & songwriter, plays guitar & piano
Perceived as a common civilian by public
Has a good fan following
Gets equally impressed & excited on meeting a dedicated fanboy
My stance is that he wouldn't agree to tutor Porchay even if he was not a mafia's son. Because he is a celebrity; he would want to keep a healthy distance from his fans.
He himself admits to Porchay that WIK is the side of him which he prefers. For someone who lives in self imposed isolation (privacy is now at double risk as a celebrity & mafia prince) his art is an outlet for emotions. Music is his safe space.
Kimhan Theerapanyakul has no trouble compartmentalizing his life & switching personas.... Until Chay enters his life.
Part 2
Part 4
The safety pins
Both are instances when Kim is intruding other's rooms to find information. Therefore the "I'm a safe space" symbolism of safety pin doesn't stand here. Especially when Kim is breaking into the place where others keep their things safe.
It could probably mean Kim is poking his nose here like a pin 😂😂
The safety pin is holding 2 ends of the chain, so it could also mean he's trying to piece together all the clues & information he can lay his hands on.
