I love them so much your honor. Look at the light colors and the bright surrounding and how they're both comfortable in light and under such a sot blanket and in such an informal place. This is a home. They're on a couch bed. There is nothing rich here, nothing about money and power and influence, just two men in love sharing popcorn and watching dramas and being together.

Just in love and happy and comfortable, together and knowing that they chose each other. That they built this family. No longer constantly seeking approval that will never come or attention that can only hurt but loving. Being loved. Staying loved.

AND A KISS.

A tiny kiss!

Sweet and quick and full to the brim of love and silliness and freedom for them.

They might have given up a lot of things, but they gained so much more than gave up. No matter what.

I love them so much. I'm so glad with the story we got for them and I just... I love them so much. I will miss them.

Great character building. Great relationship building. Convincing love story. Beautiful bed scene (even if it was one bed scene, it's still satisfying for me😁). Tragic young couple. Complex and ambiguous adult couple. Beautiful and talented girls couple. All couples being hot and bright.

Charn's hyper complex personality, combining childish and cynical features. Tinn's wholesome, healthy, decent personality, generous of warmth, kindness and trust. Both characters' charm, charisma, beauty and hotness. Their true feelings, their true love. Clingy Charn welcomed by Tinn. Always welcomed by him, always ready to accept what his bad lawyer gonna do next.

All of these is the reason why I love Laws of Attraction and consider it definitely the outstanding bl story.

They grew up together. They've been together long enough to have played with the gardener when they were young. Thee still thinks of a packed lunch as something he will never be able to repay him. Thee has obviously watched Tanthai be pushed to the place he is now, watched him go from someone who changed a fellow child's life with a packed lunch and played with the gardener to an abused, damaged and lashing out young man who is simply so hurt he feels empty.

Thee cannot ever pay back a packed lunch but he also can't run with him. Because running with him risks losing him forever. If they run together and get caught, what happens? They lose. They lose everything, even this painful time together and even Tanthai's anger and drinking and pain. Thee would be gone and he'd be unable to be any kind of presence, to check on him, to look at him and be there to try to defend him.

I think the most painful part is that Tanthai desperately seeks out comfort from Thee that he can only ever half get, that Thee cannot give him the comfort he wants both because of the chains on them from his father and because Tanthai has been too hurt to accept what Thee feels he can offer. And the half-measures of comfort only hurt more in the end and so Tanthai hurts Thee to try to stop the pain, hurts everyone around him to try to stop his own pain.

(Tanthai would fall over if Thee just pulled him into a hug and didn't get go when he started to protest but Thee can't do that because he is the servant, he is the one below him, he has no power and Tanthai tries to wear his golden chains as power the best he can.)

Tanthai is as absolute asshole and constantly getting himself in trouble to prove the point his father is constantly making. If what he does doesn't matter than he might as well just do the worst things possible because at least it gets him something. And Thee is always there. Thee never leaves.

That's why the preview for next week hurt so much. Because Tanthai believing that Thee would leave him if he wasn't being paid is the ultimate proof of how much he's been hurt. He's screaming out for any kind of reassurance and this time Thee has to give him something.

Thee has never repaid that packed lunch. Thee has never forgotten them playing together. Thee has never left Tanthai's side. Thee is the last and frayed link Tanthai has to his humanity and Thee cannot let that link break. Or he will lose the person he loves the most, the person he owes the most.

The history between them, that we know so little about, is the key to what really happened that night and Thee is the only one who can truly tell us what happened... and he will have to do it to protect Tanthai.

It's the way they look and don't touch and when they do touch it's nothing like what they want and it's the pain that bleeds off both of them, the pain of emptiness and the pain of love and the way they're trapped together, cages and chains, gold and iron, one wanting to escape through death and the other holding onto him too tight to keep them together knowing that anything less may set them apart forever.

Just two working class guys taking out an entire group of elite bodyguards for the chance to rescue their deeply traumatized, hurt and self-sacrificing lovers who need them in their lives to keep them safe and give them a chance at any light in the future.

That's all.

Not my heart on literal display as they fight for any chance at the future they so desperately want and love.

Welp, I guess I won't need my my heart next week.

Thee is running out of arguments. For all that he fears losing Tanthai by trying to run with him, by earning the wrath of his father, he sees that the man he loves is starting to break and he cannot let him give up. Thee has been trying to protect the little he feels they can have but is realizing that the threat is bigger than he thought.

And he is going to try to save Tanthai and he is going to lose what little they have trying to save him, isn't he? Because he is the only one who can rescue him but he cannot rescue him without also betraying his father.
