Kongpob couldn't stop looking at his engagement ring. Engaged. He was engaged. To Arthit. Kongpob still couldn't believe it. After the proposal the party resumed as normal but Arthit had pulled Kongpob to sit on the bench so they could sit close together. Arthit braced his arm over the back of the bench and Kongpob found himself inching closer and closer to Arthit so it felt as if Arthit had his arm around Kongpob's shoulder. Seeing what he was doing, Arthit smiled and pulled Kongpob close then kissed his cheek.

"Thank you baby," Arthit whispered in his ear. "For saying yes."

Kongpob blushed hard then played around in his phone, checking the Instagram post he'd made about this engagement. Both he and Arthit had posted something.

"To the happy couple," Kannika cheered, lifting her champagne glass. "And thank you Arthit for including us in your engagement."

"Yeah," Kongpob added. "When did you plan this?" he asked.

Arthit smiled as he thought back to the day he'd decided to do everything.

Though Arthit was still reeling from court, he knew he had to get on with his life and he planned to. When they arrived back home, he and Kongpob got back in bed and since Kongpob had been so exhausted he easily fell asleep for a nap. Arthit snuck out of bed and went into the main house. Kaiya was preparing snacks.

"Are you feeling alright?" she asked him.

"I'm okay," Arthit replied. Kanya and Kannika entered the kitchen and Arthit cleared his throat. "I wanted to talk to all of you," he said.

"What's up bro?" Kannika asked.

Arthit took a deep breath. "After all I've done wrong with Kongpob and after all I've done wrong to you all and to myself, it wouldn't feel right if I didn't get your approval for this. Even if I might struggle, I promise that I will do everything I can to love myself and to love Kongpob. Mae, Por, P'Kan, and P'Nika I want to ask for your approval. I want to ask Kongpob to marry me."
