Team promises that he will eventually share his trauma with Win when he is ready. Win hopes to lighten the mood and gives Team a peck on the lips for good luck. Team gets all shy and leaves to go back to the pool as Win follows. Bee meets Prince in the men’s room and the actor helps his boyfriend blend the sunscreen on his face. He gives Prince a kiss but Prince starts thinking if they really have a future together given his popularity and the restrictions that come with it. Bee worries that Prince is way out of his league and that the actor was only adjusting to a nobody like Bee. The two confess their honest feelings for each other and decide that they would keep it a secret from everyone until they’re ready. Another time, Manow and Pharm as well as Prince are at the Swim Club to support Team and Bee respectively.

The Episode Review
Wow, I have so many questions after this episode. First, why do Team’s parents seem homophobic and how is he upset about Win not introducing him to his parents when Team himself was so shy about telling his parents about his potential ‘boyfriend’? Second, how did Team go all day at the graveyard without telling his parents? And how were they not worried about his safety that Win could drive for 2 hours from Bangkok in order to get to Team first? Another question comes from just why Ton’s date of birth and date of death are set 500 years from today? Is this Thai BL set 500 years in the future and if so, why are they still using present-day technology? The episodes are going steady and we are finally getting into Team’s trauma. I hope there is more intimacy in the episodes to come because that is what fans enjoy a lot, given BounPrem’s chemistry. However, Bee and Prince’s romance in this episode are good and I think they are both extremely cute.
