All the pairings in TST and why I love them

SueaPlawaan

A late entry, starting this last episode. Tiny sports boys, one of whom appears to actually be terrible at sports? But tiny one is obsessed and determined to get into the same college as the older. Pretty obvious that they're adorable. Need more details, I suppose, but I already enjoy them on a surface level.

PhobMaiEak

Honestly? I'd be happy if this wasn't end game. I like how MaiEak turned Phob down, I liked how Phob accepted it however reluctantly, I liked the guy at the cafe staring at heartbroken Phob... I'd love to see this couple not be a couple.

LukmoSimai

I just love them, okay? Tsundere seme with a puppy uke is my jam. And then to have them start to get closer and have all of Lukmo's trust issues destroy that fairly early on? So good. I do need at least one scene where Simai gets to hold and comfort a crying Lukmo. That is a DEMAND, TST. Not a request. I need Lukmo to be held and loved.

BothNewYear

How can you not love them? Gay Advice Dads! Who are obviously going to have some issues about where they are in their relationship and the next step to take? Which is adorable and a new issue and hopefully one that they treat with respect. The little marriage talk was so sweet and sad and I am dreading their pain.

CopyNampu

They're amazing. How amazing to get this soft head hazer and his forward hazee and to get them so soft, so early on. I mean, they're adorable and already being spotted as a couple and already pretty much agree that they're in love... they're just not quite ready for the next step.

I am HERE for this new couple, okay? Let's just scratch MaiEak off the poster for the show and replace him with Namo. I'm down for that. Eak doesn't deserve Phob.

And he knows it, too.

I love Namo.

He gets to give MaiEak a lecture about love and friendship and jealousy and it's genuinely refreshing to see him go 'No, I won't fight you for him, love doesn't go to the winner.' because that's seriously nice to hear.

And MaiEak trying to be like 'I didn't want to turn him down but I had to because I didn't wanna be gay'.

And Namo explaining that maybe he should have figured that out before Phob started to move on, seriously...

I love this little show, okay? They're such darlings and Namo is shockingly mature for a Thai BL romantic interest.

State of the Couples: TST in order of most to least drama

PhobMaiEak: We got the 'we're going to move forward as friends and I'm gonna try to get past you' talk which was SO great AND we have next week's preview promising us CAFE BOY whom I have been begging for this ENTIRE TIME. Now, obviously, this is going for the jealousy-means-love plot with MaiEak realizing his feelings when he sees Phob with someone else... but I can pretend it won't do that, right?

LukmoSimai: Brothers? Uh. We're gonna see how this goes. I still love them as a couple and am holding out hope for the whole 'actually stepbrothers' thing to happen.

BothNewyear: They're still adorable AF, soft AF and together AF. I thought they were gonna have some issues about the marriage thing? But maybe not! Maybe they're just here to be good advice for all the youngins!

SueaPlawaan: They are basically dating. Like... just... all they need to do is actually ask each other on a date and we're done. I love a caring but pushy junior and they did this so well. Tiny Plawaan just loves getting taken care of by Suea and I am here for it.

CopyNampu: SO. SOFT. Copy might still be in a bit of denial, though I have no idea how. Nampu is just here and sort of patient but mostly ready for the whole dating scene with his boy. But they're so happy and adorable and Copy is going to spoil Nampu SO hard. Copy's special gift representing the person he loved was literally just Nampu's nametag. USELESS BUT ADORABLE.

Top Secret Together: All The Couples

CopyNampu: They continue to be the number one softest couple ever with absolutely nothing but adorable. Like, seriously. They're just the sweetest boys. I am going to die.

SueaPlawaan: Look. I don't normally love sports boys. But these boys? THESE BOYS? I am -dying-. Suea being younger but also so smitten and so in charge and being the one to hold and comfort Plawaan was just adorable. And the way Top assumed they were already dating? Ugh. I loved it. And Plawaan didn't even disagree! Adorable boys.

PhobMaiEak: Ugh, MaiEak got all jealous and clingy of... nothing. And manipulative. He wants all of Phob's help and attention. I just want Phob to go get himself a cafe boy and move off of MaiEak and leave him behind. Seriously.

BothNewyear: Still perfect, y'all.

LukmoSimai: I want actual progress. There was basically nothing. I just want these two to get back to... something. I actually really like them, I really do. I want them to get together and be happy and for Simai to hold Lukmo tightly and comfort him. Please. PLEASE.
