#thamejun

What the hell is Jun after??? Jun is doing everything he can to discourage Po from pursuing Thame. Jun also seems to be showing up early to things and spending more time at the company... to spend time around Po? He also has been obviously flirty towards Po, but is it because he is interested or trying to cause tension between Thame and Po? We have too many theories and not enough information!

Is he trying to protect the band?

Trying to protect Thame from a dating scandal?

Is Jun interested in Po and trying to protect Po from getting rejected by Thame?

Or our favorite theory, Jun likes Thame and was rejected and is now jealous of Po. (mostly because Jun being interested in Po seems more obvious and this is a drama after all)

One thing that really stands out is that Jun tells Po that Thame likes girls and can't be interested in him. But in ep 5, we learn Thame has never had a crush. Regardless of his motives, now we have to wonder if Jun is lying, making a blanket assumption about Thame, or does he actually believe Thame isn't into guys based on some kind of evidence. Personally, he seems confident about this statement, which makes us lean towards a lie or true belief. Our current guess? Jun was rejected by Thame and that is the basis for him believing Thame doesn't like guys.

Honestly, we are really confused by Jun's behavior and are dying to learn what he is after.

I think Jun loves Thame and he doesn't like how Po is a competition now . He once agreed to let go of Thame for Thame's happiness but when he got another chance he was not ready to lose to Po....

Thinking back, Would You Mind might be reflecting what was in Jun's mind all the time, so he could sing it with such deep emotions when singing it to Po. I think he's looking for someone else through Po's eyes.

He's kind of sad in his tone too, or is it just me who thinks he's constantly looking like a sad puppy trying to scare all those who're close to Thame away?

Jun was a very calculating man, and clearly he liked playing mind games. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop all people getting familiar with Thame, and Thame still won't look at him the way he wanted.

He didn't have the actual skills to help the group create the song or performance, but he wanted the best for MARS, and he also wanted to be useful to Thame, so he used his charm and silver tongue to get things related to their operation go smoothly, and he helped Po with Mick's task so as to not hinder the MV production.

No one's gonna convince me Jun didn't love Thame. He cared so damn much that he chose to let go. But still, he couldn't bear to see Thame break down. He had to be there for him first.

I think LYKN's song No Worries, suits him very well. Even the Thai title looks like an advice to him, it literally translates as "secret love doesn't kill anyone", or "no one dies from having a crush".

He lectured Thame (the Little Prince) on how to be responsible for his rose (Po), while actually hoping he would stay, for he's been tamed...

The way he kept arguing with Thame, that's just him being angry and upset but didn't know how to express it, so ending up finding faults on Thame and blamed him despite he was in no position to do so... He's not Po and he didn't actually know how Po felt. He was asking Thame to pay more attention to the people around him, and be more gentle, empathetic and supportive. It's almost like he's begging Thame to see him more than just a sassy and lazy friend but in a very indirect way. It's very pathetic and I love Jun for that.

In the end, Jun couldn't keep himself in denial about Thame's feelings for Po. He could see so clearly that the two's love was reciprocating.

He finally accepted defeat. So, he made up his mind to be a good friend that Thame deserved. Deep down, he probably still wanted Thame to know that he loved him though.

Yet, all he could do was to hint about that Thame would always win against him, because if the one who loves more loses, Jun had always been the loser.

At least, he would always let Thame be the winner...

Edit: damn... The episode title of EP 8 is "The Winner Takes It All" 🥹

As for why he kept teasing Po, in the beginning he probably just wanted to scare him away for Thame. But later, I think he actually liked Po quite a lot, because he's very fun to mess with and unlike most members of MARS, Po understood his intentions to help the group and Thame (despite the methods could be somewhat twisted). Po's friendly and lovable, while other members of MARS were like siblings or rivals.
