The “Netflix & Chill” and That Suspicious Yellow Box

Thame and Po finally get a chance to watch Date You to Debt at Po’s condo. While Po is well aware of the meaning behind “Netflix & Chill,” he grows increasingly nervous as Thame moves closer, their hands eventually intertwining. When Po catches him staring, Thame casually remarks, “Well, I’m watching through the reflection in your eyes.” 

Just when it seems like the perfect moment for a kiss, Thame abruptly leaves, leaving Po confused. And that suspicious yellow box everyone assumed was a condom? It was just lemon candy.

Innocent Thame to Not Anymore

The next morning, MARS is stunned to see Thame at home, having assumed he had spent the night with Po. Their shock deepens when he proudly announces that he stays awake with coffee and candy just to finish the film.

Clueless about the implications of “Netflix & Chill,” Thame insists he had only wanted to respect Po’s time and genuinely watch the movie. That’s when Nano and Dylan shattered his illusion, clarifying that “watching a movie doesn’t always mean watching a movie.”

As realization dawns, Thame is utterly mortified. Jun laughs and teases, “Looking at him, I think the mood was definitely there, but he probably took a U-turn and didn’t go any further.” With growing horror, Thame finally understands—he entirely ruined what was supposed to be his perfect date with Po.

Later that day, Thame still can’t shake off the guilt of abruptly leaving Po’s place the night before. Wanting to make it up to him, he casually brings up the fact that they never finished the movie and asks if he can come over again—this time, promising to “do better.”

After a packed schedule and the official release of MARS’ new song, “Who Says,” Thame finally returns to Po’s condo, supposedly to pick up where they left off. But the moment Po switches on the lights, Thame—no longer the clueless and innocent one—closes the distance between them without hesitation, pulling Po in.

Just as things begin to intensify, Baifern, Po’s friend, unexpectedly knocks on the door, abruptly stopping everything.

Thame vs. Po’s Past (aka Earn)

Baifern, furiously searching for Mr. B—Po’s supposed love interest—inspects every corner of her friend’s condo. Her suspicion leads her to the closets, where Earn’s clothes—Po’s ex—still hang. She even brings up the sandwich they used to share, a detail Thame overhears, instantly fueling his jealousy.

As soon as Baifern leaves, Thame turns to Po. “The sandwich you bought for me is your ex’s favorite?” he questions, his voice laced with frustration. Po hesitates before replying, “Well, it was our favorite shop.” That one word—our—only stokes Thame’s jealousy further.

Seeing Thame furious and jealous, Po wholeheartedly donates his ex’s belongings, allowing Thame to fill the space with his own. To top it off, they visit the sandwich shop, where Thame firmly tells the staff, “When Po comes to buy a sandwich, don’t sell him tuna anymore. He’s allergic to it.” Po watches in amusement—because he’s clearly not—as Thame, adorably jealous, tries to erase all traces of Earn. He even gave him a keycard to his condo, allowing Thame to come and go freely.

Making It Official

Thame finally asks Po if they can officially say he’s Po’s boyfriend. Po simply responds, “That’s up to you.” Taking the leap, Thame confidently declares, “I don’t know if you’re going to call me that, but I will—my boyfriend.”

At a promotional event, Thame and Po steal glances on stage, and when MARS wins Music of the Week, Thame rushes to hug Po backstage. Later that night, they share a quiet moment while cooking steak and applying face masks, and most importantly, they finally share a meaningful kiss.

As Po worries about Thame’s rest, Thame reassures him, saying that simply being with Po already feels like a break—because being with him is what he does for himself.
