My ideal wayu/thanu ending
I wasn’t expecting to, but I really fell hard for wayu/thanu, and as cute as thanu/phai are, I like wayu/thanu better (plus I’m pretty sure they’re gonna be endgame). So anyways, before ep 10 tomorrow I wanted to post my own alternate ending (this also ignores that fact that there’s supposed to be 3 seasons)
- first - retcon, none of the soulmate stuff with phai and thanu, phai goes on happily and at some point realizes he’s in love with sandee and they are happy together
- Ep 9 - Without the soulmate stuff, both phai and thanu make it to the boat in time for dinner
- Thanu and wayu have some moments while markkit are being cheesy and in love
- Thanu takes wayu back home and they’re in the car in front of wayu’s building, they confess, they have a kiss, they say goodnight and wayu leaves, that’s where their storyline ends for the episode
- Ep 10 - wayu and thanu are now dating and the episode is mostly just fluff and dates and markkit teasing them, but them at the end of the ep pha returns, fade to black
- Ep 11 - pha is back which causes a lot of conflicted feelings, wayu and kit aren’t really sure how to feel (pha has explained his absence and it’s like a good reason but he still hurt them so mixed feelings)
- Pha has made it clear that he understands how much he hurt them and isn’t expecting anything from them but would like to be friends if possible
- Wayu is clearly affected by pha’s return (his first love, his boyfriend of at least a year, maybe longer) and thanu can see this and it worsens his insecurities about only being pha’s replacement, there is some clear tension in their relationship
- For markkit, while there’s no big conflict, there’s def some friction a la the bathroom scene in the earlier eps bc mark still hates pha for what he did but kit can’t quite bring himself to hate pha and he wants to forgive him but is still stubborn and upset
- Wayu and kit have a bonding moment where they talk about pha and their feelings and help each other work it out
- Wayu is now certain he doesn’t love pha anymore even if he was a little shaken at his return, and he and pha have a serious conversation where he explains this and talks about how he loves thanu now, pha is very respectful and while sad that it’s too late for him, he just wants what makes wayu happy
- Markkit’s plot this ep ends with them having a serious conversation where kit explains that he forgives pha and would like to rekindle their friendship (slowly) and while mark isn’t entirely happy with this, he understands kit, scene ends with them cuddling in bed (because they deserve it)
- So twist, it’s not markkit that have the ‘episode 11,’ it’s wayu and thanu, thanu somehow gets to the breaking point (maybe he sees wayu and pha hug after their conversation and misunderstands or something?) and he breaks up with wayu in the end and they have a big fight, end of ep
- Ep 12 - poor wayu is heartbroken again, markkit is taking care of him
- Kit talks to (threatens) thanu about what happened and thanu tells him about how’s he thinks wayu is still in love with pha and he’s just a stand in, kit tells him he’s being stupid and the way wayu is acting right now sure doesn’t seem like it’s pha he’s upset about
- Some more sad moments in between, maybe they lock eyes across campus in a dramatic moment before wayu looks away first, some more crying
- Pha finally steps in and explains his conversation with wayu to thanu and reassures him that wayu doesn’t love him anymore
- This finally convinces thanu to talk to wayu, they finally have a conversation about it and thanu’s insecurities and their feelings, they clear up the misunderstandings, and they both talk about how to move forward in the future
- Idk what markkit is doing this ep outside of taking care of wayu but prob just more fluffy scenes together (because there’s never enough)
- Anyways, happy endings for everyone!
- (also I realized I completely forgot about padbok and that whole situation so I’m choosing to ignore it, or maybe they worked it out in a subplot)
