So, I read the novel and these are the things that may happen after episode 5. SUPER SPOILER ALERT. Since there are a few differences from the novel to the series, things may go on in different directions. But, in general, this is the sequence of the story in the book:

Fadel and Bison goes on with the plan to kill Luerat, but it fails because of undercover cops.

Fadel, Keen and Bison realizes they have a police informant among them. And Kant is the number one suspect.

Fadel and Bison takes the recording from the secretary misson and discovers Style and Kant stalking them (In the series, they will probably find Kant's recording in the safe room).

Bison follows Kant to the place where he meets Officer James. He hears Kant giving information. When Bison decides to kill both of them, he hears Kant say to James that he can no longer be an informant because he loves Bison truly. So, Bison gets all the chills and decides to not kill Kant just yet... because of reasons.

Fadel and Bison make a deal to kill Kant and Style.

But Fadel knows he can't kill Style. So, without telling Bison, he thinks of a way to frigten Style... So Style will leave him without looking back or getting any more involved.

So, Fadel takes Style to his house. Shows him the safe room. Tells Style that he is a hitman and threatens Style. He says that if he sees Style again, he will kill him.

Styles runs to the door, thinking Fadel has a gun pointed at him, but he stops at the door. He wants to look at Fadel's face one last time. But, when he looks back, Fadel is broken, pointing the gun at himself. Style runs back to Fadel and kisses him.

Meanwhile, Bison goes to Kant's tattoo shop. He hits Kant in the head and Kant faints.

From the shock, Kant's head bleed and Bison has a mini breakdown from seeing Kant's blood and from the preassure of having to kill him.

He can't kill Kant again. So he kidnaps him and takes him to his family house, the same place his parents were killed. Which is in a secluded place. Bison ties up Kant on a chair and decides to kill Kant after the next mission. However, he let the rope loose, hoping Kant will wake up and run away. So, Bison wouldn't have to kill him.

Bison goes back home to find Fadel and Style in bed. He gets mad and say my favorite line in the novel "I would be so pissed off if I had killed Kant only to find you didn't kill Style."

Fadel says Bison still needs to kill Kant because Kant is an informant, while Style is innocent. But Bison says he won't kill Kant.

Fadel and Style go on a mission to kill Luerat. Fadel promises Style he will be alright and that this is the last mission.

In the mission, they discover Luerat is innocent. Luerat was a friend of their very rich parents. Mother Lily killed their parents, not Luerat. And she stole both Fadel and Bison. All that time, Luerat was trying to find them so they could have their parent's money. Mother Lily gives her next target to Keen: Fadel and Bison.

During the mission, Keen shoots to kill Luerat, Fadel and Bison. Only Fadel is hurt.

They manage to escape. Fadel and Bison go back home. Luerat goes to hiding. Fadel is not terribly wounded, but Style gets all worried and takes care of him.

Bison goes back to his family abandoned house, expecting Kant to be long gone. But Kant is still there, waiting for him, tied up to the chair. Bison asks why he didn't run, and Kant says he is ready to face any consequence from having betrayed Bison's love. Bison is still angry, but he wants a meeting with Officer James.

Style, Fadel, Bison, Kant and James have a meeting on how to expose mother Lily as the mastermind of all the killings, including Fadel and Bison's parents. James say that Fadel and Bison will have to face prison time, but they can get less time for helping the police. James say he cares about them all and wants them to get a short sentence.

They all go on one last mission together, Style and Kant included. Mother is exposed in front of the public. But, when the police tries to arrest her, she takes a hostage. Fadel aims at her, but James calms him down, saying he will face way more years in prison than necessary.

Far away, a sniper shoots and kills mother Lily. It was Keen.

Fadel and Bison are arrested in front of Kant and Style. Fadel and Style can have a moment of goodbye, but Kant is too heartbroken to even be able to hug Bison. But Bison forgives him and says he will finally be free after paying his dept to the justice.

It's also discovered that Fadel and Bison are rich heirs.

In two years, Style and Kant visits Fadel and Bison regularly as they are boyfriends.

When they are released, Fadel and Bison say goodbye to James. James say he is happy for them and that he doesn't want to see them back in prison. Which they respond they will live as normal people now, with their boyfriends.

Style and Kant gets them in the vintage car and they all ride back home (this is the scene in the novel's cover).

After a while, Bison moves to Kant's house, because Babe goes to study in the UK. And Style lives with Fadel in the house. Kant keeps working in the tattoo shop. Bison doesn't work, because he is just chilling for a while. But they have a black cat names Love and a ginger cat named Home (FK reference). Style and Fadel works at the Burger shop.

In the last scene for Bison and Kant, Bison says to Kant that he got a tattoo on his thigh... which Kant gets all jealous about Bison getting a tattoo from another artist, just to discover that the tattoo is fake and Bison just wanted an angry sex.

In the last scene for Fadel and Style, Style is taking orders and a costumer is hitting on him. Fadel senses a "disturbence in the air" and goes to check. Suddenly, he has a knife on his hand (because old habits die hard). And he drives off the costumer with his scary demeanor.

Happy ending for both couples.

Sky and Pai

Pai sells his condo immediately after the assault in ep 13 and buys a new, larger one in a high security building.

Pai loves seeing Sky cry. Not in a mean way- tears of happiness absolutely preferred- but he is deeply touched that Sky has recovered to a point where he is now able to cry again.

Sky's father realized Sky was gay after the assault by his ex in high school, but they never talked about it. Sky was scared to bring Pai home because he didn't know how his father would react.

Sky's dad knew the moment he brought Pai home that they were dating. He asked Pai to take good care of his son and always accepted Pai as a son-in-law. He loves seeing how well Pai takes care of Sky.

Pai doesn't like Sky being around his (Pai's) family PURELY because they're obsessed with Sky, and he ends up completely kidnapped by them (Golfing with dad, shopping with mom, galleries with the siblings, etc.).

Sky resists moving in with Pai throughout his university days, just to be closer to school during high-stress times. Still, Pai's condo is their main residence.

If Sky is put in danger by his new friendship with Graf (Pakin's boyfriend, who is frequently targeted by Pakin's enemies), either Sky is taken immediately to Pai, or Pai brought immediately to him.

Sky does not believe he's attractive or cute (even though Pai tells him he is CONSTANTLY), but he is damn well aware he's amazing in bed and confident in that.

If Pai and Sky are apart for more than 2 weeks (because of Sky's work or Pai's business trips), they both start going a bit mental (leading to a very hot video chat).

Sky and Pai get married around 8 years after the events in Love in the Air.

Sky is now a professor of architecture at his old university.

Sky and Pai babysit Pai's niece/nephew, but don't want kids of their own (though they leave that as an 'unless we change our minds' kind of thing).

The vows they use in "Wedding Plan" are actually lines Pai says to Sky that Sky later paints into a portrait of Pai with his bike.

The wedding planning service they use in "Wedding Plan" is one Pai approached first to plan a surprise anime-themed birthday party for Sky.

Rain and Payu

Payu told his mom about Rain after their first night together, and he and Saifah both shared stories about him, but no one ever told Rain.

Rain wanders downstairs in his undies one night and Payu's mom is just THERE. She pretends not to know who he is and disapprove of him while force-feeding him porridge... she and Payu are the exact same flavor of tricksters who enjoy seeing Rain anxious.

Strict no-sex-outside-of-the-bedroom rule put in place by Rain because Saifah once caught Rain riding Payu on the sofa and teased him for days.

Rain is not afraid to stand his ground and put Payu in his place if he thinks his man is wrong. He may leave the fight for morning, but he won't bend if he doesn't agree.

Rain ends up working for a top architecture firm (maybe the one Payu used to work for, unclear) and takes on bigger and bigger projects.

Two years after starting his own firm, Payu asks Rain to come be his work partner (he asked before the firm opened, but Rain wanted to gain experience so he could be Payu's equal).

Payu cried when Rain agreed to come work with him because they were both so busy that they barely saw each other anymore. Now, no matter how busy they are, they will still be together.

Rain and Sky

Rain blames himself in part for Sky being assaulted again by his ex, and won't leave Sky's side at races unless Pai is there.

Rain and Sky still hang out constantly and are thick as thieves.

They befriend Pakin's boyfriend Graf (at Pakin's threat/request), and Pakin softens towards them somewhat in gratitude.

Rain is nearly stabbed in a bathroom by someone who mistakes him for Graf. He's saved by Sky and Chai (who was secretly following).

Rain and Sky frequent the races and bring their own snacks and candy, every guard and repeat guests know them and greet them on sight.

Thanks to Sky and Rain, the dangerous, illegal, underground street races have more of a carnival atmosphere. Pakin doesn't care, so long as the rules aren't broken.

Pai and Payu

Still involved with the races, no matter how busy they get with work.

As much as Sky and Rain hang out, Pai and Payu also meet up in their spare time with others who are or were involved with the races (mostly former top racer Oat).

If Pai wants to plan a surprise for Sky, he will go to Payu's house and borrow Rain to help scheme.

Payu is the official-unofficial tutor of the young ones. If Sky seems to be struggling with a concept and stressed out, Pai will call Payu for help.

And like anything, they did it their way. Truth or Dare their way into a relationship only Jack & Joke would ever do.

I love the fact that Jack was the one to use Truth. In the past episode, he hid the truth from Joke to protect him & Ama. He wasn’t upfront on things, choosing to fight the battle on his own. This time around, he chose Truth to let go & finally admit to himself & to Joke, that Joke’s more than just a friend. More than just family. He wants Joke to know that he is his. He’s not denying his feelings anymore.

Joke choosing Dare fits him so well. He always was the one to go head first. Daring to go into the fire for his loved ones. He was willing to practically die for Jack. He’s all in when Jack dares him to be his boyfriend. As if he would ever back away. He finally got his man. He’s not going to let go.

And their kiss!! Their kiss. Their kiss. Their kiss.

Their first kiss.

I can say a thousand words but let’s leave them to kiss their emotions out. This was a long time coming. Years. They waited. Especially Joke. Joke has been in love with Jack since the night they met. Each day he was in prison was spent thinking of only Jack. He built his soul around meeting Jack again & to make him happy. Jack was also pulled in by Joke’s eyes, the sad frown. He may not have known it then, but he practically set it in stone that he’ll be the one to ever turn each frown upside down.

Their kiss was fuelled with longing, hunger, passion. They took their time finding their way to each other and finally met. It sealed their fate. Fates so intertwined that there’s practically no Joke without Jack, and Jack without Joke. They are just puzzle pieces that clicked into place.

They can’t be stopped. They won’t be stopped. They finally have each other. No one’s ever letting go.

Yin and War are out on the field promoting Jack & Joker and Yin had some words for a few people and this man is out to settle the score:

He firmly denied some 'fans' allegations that he improvised romantic moments on the show — more specifically the head touching seeing in episode 6 — he stated that they are actors, and as such they follow the director and the script.

Not done with this he made it clear: stop projecting your delusions on them, him and War are friends and working partners.

They decided to go independent seeking artistic freedom, wanting to pursue stories without interference from studio and producers.

They actually got indebted making the show, having invested a sum close 40 million baht. They don't expect to see any financial return soon. (Yin actually sold his car to help fund the series).

Yin stated that one reason for going 'rogue' was to protect his relationship with War, neither of them wanted to make a product out of their connection — a stance similar to Daou and Offroad who have said multiple times that their relationship is not for sale.

When it came down to the characters of Jack and Joke they both said that the freedom extended to them as well. They didn't want to put labels or specific traits in them, like which would be the top or the bottom in bed, it could go either way, that fluidity was something they were looking for.

Yin was candid about the way people approached him since he started doing BL shows. His friends asked him what it was like to kiss a man and he understood that as offensive, "they never asked about it when I was acting with girls, why would that matter now?"

He doesn't have a chip on his shoulder. He has a heart on his shoulder. He wears his feelings on his shoulder. In his color.

And it's a J.

There is no Joker of Hearts. There is only a Jack of Hearts!

The Jack of Hearts sits on Joke's left shoulder which is normally concealed.

And the Jack of Hearts represents young men in love.

Every tattoo Joke has is about Jack.

Joke fell in love in one night five years ago and has been thinking about it ever since.

And that's why the ring with Jack's name on it belongs on Joke's finger. He already has Jack tattooed all over his body. Now he just needs Jack to allow Joke to permanently place Jack's name in his heart.

Joke girl….. control it

if there’s one person who’s more unnormal about Jack than i am it would be Joke
