He has a problem about the break up and We see his motivation to go and chat on a gay app and meet up and try to have a gay sex. Unexpected happens that the guy who was chatting Book was Frame.In the morning after the things happen between them though, everything appears to be fine. In the shower, Book is reminiscing about Frame through flashbacks and Frame seemed happy as well.

There's no one there and Tee performs the first aid. It is a cute moment but Tee then realizes that he's still hurt from the night before and is a little bit angry. He realizes that he needs to get away from Fuse because he won't be able to handle it if he stays there.It is then time to go home. Fuse gets a call from Tee's friend, who is concerned that Tee isn't acting normal and tells Fuse to take care of him. He's pretty happy to receive that call and to be associated with Tee.

Book and Frame
First, let's get Book and Frame out of the way. So, things seem to be getting back to normal between them. Book is clearly in love with Frame but Frame is still wishy-washy about it. He shows concern but still doesn't confess or commit to Book properly. In the school scene, we can see that Book clearly cares for Frame as he brings water for him and has that longing look in his eyes. But, in another scene, Frame is playful but doesn't accompany Book to watch the documentary and chats with another girl right in front Book. We will see how it goes in the future for these two.Tee and Fuse
Another story line that got introduced this episode was of Tee's brother and Fuse's sister. Apparently, Tee's brother likes Fuse's sister but she doesn't like him. Her friend though seems to like him instead. Hetero love confuses me.Now, back to our main story, Fuse is quite concerned about Tee and is wondering why he's avoiding him. And, in a surprising development, Fuse confesses to Tee about all his feelings. He says he likes Tee and his touch and sees him as more than a friend. And, Tee of course tells him that he feels the same way. He tells him about the kiss he saw between Fuse and Jean and how it affected him. After all the things happens to them, they are late to go to school and instead spend the day going out and about and eating. There's an awkward moment when Jean also appears in the mall but the rest is them being cute and cuddly. They go home late and get scolded by Fuse's mother. Tee asks to stay the night and they have a lovely family dinner.

We also learn that Book has recently broken up with his girlfriend and has dated a guy in the past.On the other hand, Frame is completely into Book. He is constantly trying to vie for his attention, compliments him and after hearing about his failed date with another guy, tells him to try again and date him. We also get a wonderful scene where he describes Book as a beautiful star, how he is perfect and how he is totally attracted to Book. Then they go to the mall where Frame continues being Frame and is quite forward and flirty and Book continues being Book and plays coy and just smiles sheepishly every time.
Yok and Dew
The second pairing of this episode – Yok and Dew continues to be annoying. They are vacationing in Yok's dad's resort. Yok is excited to spend time with Dew but it turns out Dew just thinks of Yok as a friend and isn't even gay. Yok is understandably upset but his mom comes in the picture causing even more drama. They create a scene where Yok's mother scolds him for bringing a guy to the resort and chastises Dew for being a greedy gold-digger. They all leave the resort unhappy and looking sad.Tee and Fuse
Now, on to our main leads. Tee and Fuse are also on holiday this episode and are at the same resort. Fuse's family is there to surprise Fuse's dad. In the hotel room where they are staying, a small boy comes in saying that he is instructed to give free dessert to couples and that's why he has come here. The child is super chill and just accepts the fact that a M/M relationship is normal and that Tee and Fuse are a couple. Tee and Fuse have come to a stage in their ‘relationship’ where they don't even deny it and then go onto this whole ritual of feeding each other those sweets as a couple.In a different scene, they start talking about their relationship. Tee is still concerned about Fuse and how he has a girlfriend and how that complicates things. So, he does not want to hurt Fuse by continuing this ‘relationship’. But Fuse tells him to not do that and not let things get between them. He tells him to listen to his heart and just be happy.
Nine and Rodtang
We also get a bonus pairing this episode in the form of Nine and Rodtang. Rod has found a new guy to go after. Anyway, Nine is the vice-president of the music club and wants Rod to come to the practice. Rod, in turn, tells him to take him to a park if he wants Rod to show up in the practice.

Can't wait to see this plan backfire.Back to the main story, those four guys are all having dinner and Rod continues to flirt with Fuse but thankfully, Nine holds back Rod from coming too much in between Tee and Fuse. When it's time to go back, we get one of the greatest Tee Fuse scenes ever – the bus scene.

During the ride, Tee asks Fuse if he has feelings for Rod and Fuse makes it clear that he only has eyes for Tee.

So, in this episode, we learn that ‘That girl’ likes Fuse's sister and Fuse's sister doesn't like that ‘That girl’ likes her. Apparently, she has known about this for a while and just wants to be friends. Meanwhile, Tee's brother is oblivious to this fact and interjects himself in their conversation and tries to act all cute and flirty. It just results in awkward situation between the three of them. The whole thing ends in a heartbreak with ‘That girl’ crying alone in a storage room as Tee's sister clearly doesn't like her that way.
Book Frame
The ongoing fight between Book and Frame continues this episode as well. It's just one misunderstanding after another. Book is in the classroom cleaning with some of The Boys being start to tease Book about his ‘relationship’ with Frame. Book gets really pissed and starts to yell and asks whether it was Frame who told them about their ‘relationship’. The Boys quickly apologize seeing Book's anger and explain that Frame had nothing to do with it and they just saw how close Frame and Book had become and were just joking. This calms Book down and he realizes his mistake. However, this happiness doesn't last for long. He calls Frame and sets up a meeting at the Siam. He also buys some CD and greeting card as an apology. But, when he goes there, he sees Frame holding hands with another girl and just loses it. He screams at Frame and blames him for – well – everything. Now, we know that Frame was just helping out his auntie and there is nothing going on between them. Had Book been a rational person and just trusted Frame and asked him about this situation, none of this would have happened.
Tee Fuse Jean Rodtang
Jean comes to visit Fuse and brings lots of goodies with her. At the same time, Tee brings a ‘strawberry smoothie’ and other snacks as well. It's basically the high-school version of impressing and seducing your bae with as much things as you can buy. Fuse, of course, is just enjoying this attention and tries to please both of them. This gets even more complicated when Rodtang arrives for the band practice and there are three of them vying for his attention. Poor Rodtang gets distraught when he finds out that Fuse really IS going out with a girl. Last episode, he just heard it but this episode, he witnessed it live.
Meanwhile, Tee is over this situation for now. He isn't happy and tries to put a distance between him and Fuse. On the other hand, Fuse acts all stupid and tries to be cutesy and convince Tee to spend time with him.
Rodtang Nine
The only relationship that showed signs of working was that of Rodtang and Nine. Rod is heartbroken. But, Nine comes to the rescue and gives Rod the much needed company. Here, Rod realizes that Nine has always been there for him and he's been ignoring Nine and pursuing something that wasn't right for him.

However, this is all about to change. Rod and Nine go to a storage room to store those amazingly-amazing band-stick thingies. It's there where Nine ‘saves’ Rod from a falling box and literally becomes his hero. And obviously, he gets injured while doing so and obviously, it's Rod who performs the first aid. This brings them even more closer.
On the other side, Fuse is still being clingy and stalking Tee on Facebook. He sends him a text but doesn't get a reply and gets a – ‘I'm busy and I have to study’ – when he calls him. So naturally, like any other person, he questions his busy-ness with the Facebook evidence and blames Tee for ignoring him. Anyway, the next day it's his turn to ignore Tee. Tee tries really hard to talk to him but Fuse acts like a total diva and blatantly tells him not to disturb him. His smug and satisfied look was quite funny to watch. But, we all know that they love each other and we can see that both are hurt and in pain when they are apart. Although, I'm not worried as it's like The Boys said – This is a fight between a married couple. They will sort it out themselves and we shouldn't intervene.
Meanwhile, the story of Book and Frame progressed a lot in this episode. At first, Book still refused to talk to Frame but Frame ingeniously partnered up with Book in a class project where they finally had a chance to talk and figure out the misunderstanding. It's there where Book admits to his feelings for Frame and Frame also opens up his heart to Book and tells him not to break it. For context, this was because Frame also had his heart broken before by a girl.

Let's start with Frame and Book. They are given the shortest amount of screen time in the finale but they also get the most cutest scenes of them all. It's all about that honeymoon phase after the confession for them. They stare at each other lovingly, Book brings Frame food, feeds him, kisses him, etc.
Our other couple also continue to act cute. Rod brings Nine a gift and tells him he appreciates his kindness and thanks him for being his hero.
The couple for whom things don't work out is the one with Lokmo and the other girl and the love triangle with the two girls and P’Tan. We have been anticipating Mo's break up for a while after we saw his girlfriend getting offered a job to seduce Yok by Yok's mother but it was still painful nonetheless.
Last episode, Tee and Fuse were fighting but like any two people in love they just can't stay away from each other. Fuse finds himself in front of Tee's house after school and after hesitating for a few seconds decides to go in. They come face to face but apart from staring lovingly, they don't talk to each other and all we are left with is the incoherent love lorn talk of the drunk P’Tan.
The next morning, Fuse arrives early at school and decides to sing a song and with the power of Fuse's love and the power of music, Tee instinctively knows it's Fuse calling him, sings with him and sprints towards the music room. Tee doesn't go in but just listens from outside with love and satisfaction in his eyes. Fuse finishes the song, reminisces about the past encounters with Tee and comes outside but Tee has vanished.
The whole day Fuse is sad and lost and keeps remembering the amazing moments that he had with Tee. The show comes full circle when later, Fuse finds himself locked in the same spot where he was locked in the beginning of the series. He is heartbroken and cries reminiscing about the good old days. And, the episode ends with our main hero – Tee – coming at the right time to rescue him with that infectious smile of his and a warm hug.
