Waking up in Dr. Nam’s medical office, Tian is lectured about the dangers of what he’s done so soon after his surgery. While he understands the risks, this is something he has to do. While he lets Dr. Nam in on some of the details about his transplant, he doesn’t tell him everything. 

However, as the one who rushed back to get Tian’s medication, Longtae found Torfun’s journal. This forces Tian to come clean. Though he’s relieved to have someone who knows, he asks him to keep it a secret until he can figure out how to tell him. 

After realizing that the thugs who were cheating the villages out of their tea leaves have stopped buying them all together. Tian knows it’s his fault. Racking his brain, he tries to come up with a solution that could help them. Remembering the scented tea packets he has an idea. With Longtae’s help, Tian is able to convince a shop in town at the base of the mountain to sell the sachets as souvenirs. Though always willing to help Phua is a bit jealous of all the time Tian and Longtae are spending together.

The owner of the little shop can’t keep the tea sachets off the shelf. She places a huge order that will help make up for all the lost sales from the mountain thugs. so naturally, when the Mr. Sakda (Thanongsak Suphakan, Nong), leader of the mountain thugs learns about what is going on, they intervene. They do so by setting the school on fire, destroying everything. Rushing inside, the only thing Tian can save is the kite Phua made, for him. 

Quick Take: Again, the slow burn of this series is why it’s one of my favorites. I am glad that Longtae knows the truth, and watching Phua be jealous of Tian and Longtae’s friendship was incredibly adorable.
