It is so funny to me that Peem really believes that he needs the Slave Deal to keep Phum around while Phum is out there making sure Peem remembers their kisses and getting all jealous about Kluen and helping around Peem's aunt's cafe. And the fact that this perfectly highlights how insecure Peem was in himself and his own merit to keep Phum interested and attached to him is so special. Like Phum was not letting go at all, but Peem could not trust the grip enough until he could see the pressure it had withheld, and that's respectable.

we can all agree that peem finally found out that it's working pretty well
