After the movie finishes, Tay's mom announces, "Tay, you will sleep in the guest room tonight. New and Nanon will sleep in your room."

Tay protests, "What? I want to sleep with them."

Tay's mom gives him a stern look. "No, you're not going to sleep with them. You're not married yet."

Tay argues, "So what? He’s my boyfriend, and Nanon is my son. What’s the problem with sleeping together?"

Tay’s mom raises an eyebrow, "Don't talk back to me, Tay."

Tay mutters under his breath but relents, pouting. New looks at Tay mockingly, enjoying his discomfort. Tay just shakes his head, feeling defeated.

After dinner, Tay escorts Nanon and New to his room, grumbling, "Mom talks too much. I’m sleeping here."

New firmly responds, "No, you go to the next room, or I will tell her."

Tay pleads, "Oh, Hin, please..."

New shakes his head firmly, "No."

Tay turns to Nanon with a desperate look, "Nanon, tell Papa to let me stay so I can tell you a good story."

Nanon, with a mischievous smile, says, "My Papa can tell me."

New, smiling, adds, "He is my son."

Tay, pretending to pout, says, "Really, you all team up against me? Okay, no problem. Nanon, remember after marriage, I will not let you sleep with Papa," he teases.

New playfully hits Tay on the shoulder, and Nanon, acting like he’s about to cry, says, "Papa, I won’t let you marry Dad if he does that."

New, smiling sweetly, reassures, "Don’t worry, son. I can make him stay away from our room if he does that."

Nanon mockingly smiles at Tay. Tay moves closer, kisses Nanon on the forehead, and says, "Why are you so cute? I can’t even be mad at you. Okay, you two sleep now. I’ll go to the next room. If you need anything, call me."

New nods, and Tay, feeling reluctant to leave, walks slowly to the door. New nudges him, "Go," and Tay finally leaves.

In the middle of the night, Tay quietly sneaks back into the room to check on them. He sees New and Nanon sleeping peacefully. He tiptoes closer, gently pats Nanon's hair, and kisses him on the forehead. Then, kneeling beside New's bedside, Tay holds New’s hand, stroking his hair with the other hand, staring at him lovingly. After some time, he kisses New's forehead,

As he tries to release his grip on New's hand to leave, New stirs awake and sees Tay. "Tay, what are you doing here? Didn’t you feel sleepy?" he asks in a sleepy voice.

Tay squeezes his hand gently, "I just came to check on you and him."

New, still half-asleep, asks, "Then why did you kiss my forehead?"

Tay, smiling tenderly, replies, "You’re just so lovable, I couldn’t resist. And right now, you look even better."

New, feeling self-conscious, protests, "My hair is a mess. I’m sleeping. I didn’t even look properly."

Tay chuckles, "That’s why you look beautiful."

New sighs, "You didn’t really sleep at night, right? This is why you always love to sleep in the morning."

Tay smiles softly, "Sometimes I have to work at night."

New, sitting up and hugging Tay gently, says, "You have to rest properly. You know, at first, I did that too, but look at him. After he turned two, he never slept without me. If I woke up at night, he would also wake up with me, so I had to finish all my work during the day."
