Ok I need to talk about one particular moment in this episode because itโs making me insane.
Thee and Peach are talking about Peach growing up in an orphanage, and Peach admits to worrying that that could impact how Thee feels about him. Thee reassures him that it just makes him love Peach more, and Peach reacts to that by kind of chuckling, looking away, and stretching his arms.
But this time itโs not because heโs rolling his eyes at Theeโs anticsโitโs because heโs flustered.
Then he says this:
But look at his body language: the raised eyebrows, the smirk. This is not him being all โGet a grip, Khun Theeโ, this is him being cheeky and flirty. He stares into Theeโs eyes as he says it.
Another person might have responded with something like โOh really? Is that what you want?โ But Thee is endlessly earnest, and he never wants to assume anything, so he asks, straightforwardly, โCan I stay here tonight?โ
And how does Peach react? He stares intensely at him.
Then at his lips.
Then at his chest.
This all happens in a few seconds. After this he makes a joke about not having a bathtub or butlers, because heโs feeling a lot of things, and heโs trying to lighten the mood, but Thee replies that Peach is all he needs. And then Peach visibly gulps.
I love how Phuwin played this scene, because Peach is not a showy guy and he wouldnโt flirt in an overly obvious way. In fact if you watch the scene without really paying attention, you could read it as Thee inviting himself over and Peach going โOk sureโ, but itโs anything but that.
