Ron Does Stuff

We got a kiss at the end of the fourth episode — a real one, not the dream one in episode three — so we’ll see how Tong deals with this in this fifth episode. Or will this somehow turn into a dream kiss?

And nope, the kiss is definitely not a dream. These two homos are lucky this wide open space in a college campus is so empty because some homosexuality is going on here. Mark says sorry for kissing him, but Tong says its okay.

The two of them then get caught in the rain because we need to see Mark in a tank top and it’s at the bus stop where Mark explains that vampires usually don’t feel anything at all, but since drinking Tong’s precious fairy vagina Golden Blood, his senses have become more human. And it’s not just Tong’s precious fairy vagina Golden Blood that’s making him lose control, by the way. I quote:

Your saliva, blood, and sweat, they make me lose control.

SO. It’s any bodily fluid then. Any bodily fluid.

It’s not the answer Tong wants, though, because that was his first kiss and he doesn’t want it to be something that happened just because he’s got the precious fairy vagina Golden Blood. He wanted that first kiss to be because of twu wuv.

Back at the student accommodation, Tonkla notices that Tong’s lips are especially red, and Tong tries to explain it away by saying he’s been drinking tomato juice. Tong asks Tonkla if it’s possible to kiss someone without feeling anything for the other person — supposedly as part of a ~literature project~ and not because he has feelings for Mark or anything — and GMMTV takes this as an opportunity to keep showing the kiss again and again. I’m not complaining!

Back at his place, Mark tries to find out what happens to someone who partakes of the precious fairy vagina Golden Blood but it’s so legendary that the vampires didn’t even know it actually existed until Tong came around. No one knows what it actually does, other than it having powerful effects.

Conveniently, the lesson in school the next day is about the Eros, the Greek god, and Tong starts to think that maybe his precious fairy vagina Golden Blood is acting like Eros’ arrow — Cupid is the Roman god, he’s not Greek! Get your myths in order! — and making Mark temporarily have feelings for him. Which is kinda true.

But Tong wants an answer, and he asks a straight couple out of all people. But they do give sound advice! The two people involved in Tong’s hypothetical situation should sort it out themselves and have that discussion, rather than keeping things bottled in and suffocating themselves.

However, Mark and Tong might not get that opportunity to talk because Miss Thara is taking over safeguarding duties for a while. She’s had a vision where Mark is in some sort of trouble, but with no more details to go on, she thinks it might be because Tong’s precious fairy vagina Golden Blood is making him lose control of himself.

While all of that is happening, Nakan is putting something secret into motion. One of his henchmen is also trying to find out whether Tonkla has the precious fairy vagina Golden Blood, because it was Tonkla’s name on the list during that party in the first episode. They don’t know Tong was pretending to be Tonkla at the time.

But rather than letting the minion do the job, Nakan takes matters into his own hands and shows up as a guest lecturer at the university, which…okay? The first episode made it look like he’s very well-known, so aren’t the students curious why someone from a completely different field is talking about language in the digital world? A mystery.

Anyways, Tong’s frail human body catches a fever and they have to take him to the university clinic. While Tong’s recuperating, Nakan propositions Tonkla, telling them he could give them a scholarship for a ~special student~. Tonkla even asks if he’s expecting something from him.

While Nakan and Tonkla are negotiating, Mark spirits Tong away from the infirmary and takes him to Miss Thara’s place, which honestly makes Nakan suspect Tong even more. Clearly, Mark has learned nothing in the centuries he’s been alive. Thara tells him that this is going to be the last time he’s going to see Tong so he better make the most out of it.

The next day, Tong wakes up and realizes that Mark took care of him and nursed him back to health, which I’m sure gave him a little chub. But unbeknownst to him, it looks like he just gave Mark his fever. He gave the vampire who can’t get sick a fever. He finds out all about it when he goes to visit Mark’s house since he’s worried about him not showing up for school yet again.

Now it’s Tong’s turn to live out the hurt/comfort trope! Taking care of Mark involves taking off his shirt, because of course. He puts on one of those Kool Fever things on Mark and those things work. I’ve used them and they really cool you down quick, especially if you put them in a ref beforehand.

Sometime during the night while Tong is nursing him, this happens:

Mark tells him that while the first time he kissed him might have been because of his precious fairy vagina Golden Blood, this time around he’s going to kiss him because he has feelings for him. Mark asks him if Tong’s got feelings for him too and duh.

The kissing is interspersed with scenes of Tong the morning after, with the voiceover saying this quote:

If I were to kiss you and go to hell, I would. So then I can brag with the devils that I saw heaven without even entering it.

The scene makes you think that he reads this from a book, but the first item when you search this quote on Google attributes this to William Shakespeare, but that’s stupid. It’s a quote that’s been debated on Reddit for close to a decade (!), but the only thing people can seem to agree on is that it’s not from Shakespeare. And the show certainly didn’t come up with this themselves if it’s been around for at least a decade. So who came up with it? Someone on the Shakespeare Reddit thinks it came from a Downton Abbey fanfic. Did this Thai BL just crib from a Downtown Abbey fanfic?

Anyways, Nakan has also figured out that Tong has the precious fairy vagina Golden Blood, bye.
