I believe it’s anger—a lot of it. And honestly, I thought the scene was very realistic.
Let’s say you’re in a relationship with someone and suddenly find out they’ve kind of cheated on you. The majority of people would probably have a much worse reaction than Pheem did.
That’s what makes Pheem’s reaction understandable to me. One moment, she’s already feeling guilty about the things she said to Parn, and the next, she sees Parn having lunch with another man. She’s struggling to understand why Parn won’t just choose her and, more importantly, why she keeps lying to her.
Her reaction wasn’t okay, obviously. But considering everything she was feeling in that moment, I honestly think what we saw was only 10% of how people could realistically react in a situation like that.
It wasn’t just jealousy. It was anger coming from feeling betrayed, confused, and unable to understand why the person she cares about keeps making her question where she actually stands. Not to mention, Pheem has anger management and abandoned issues.
The scene was comfortable to watch. But in all aspects, it was supposed to.
I think the reason Parn tolerates so much of the shit Peem throws at her is because she’s already used to it. And honestly, it’s almost frustrating to watch.
She’s probably seen this happen to the workers at the club countless times—and maybe experienced it herself too. The name-calling, the distrust, the violence, being treated like you’re automatically guilty simply because of where you come from.
Parn from the book seems to have developed this incredibly thick skin just to survive. She doesn’t fight back because, at some point, she’s learned that fighting is useless when people have already decided they won’t trust her anyway. That she is guilty of whatever happens.
And I think that’s what makes her dynamic with Peem so painful. Parn isn’t necessarily accepting the way Peem treats her. She’s enduring it.
She knows how to swallow the hurt, keep her head down, and keep going.
Which makes me wonder how devastating it must be when the person she actually starts caring about becomes another person she has to endure rather than someone she feels safe enough to fight for.

That one line in the drunk scene at the beginning of EP2 is probably the most impactful.
When Pheem says, “Why does it have to be you?”—I feel like it carries completely different meanings for Pheem and Parn.
For Pheem, it’s the realization that she has to use the very woman she’s already developing feelings for. Why does Parn have to be the Angel she needs for this deal?
For Parn, she clearly has no idea why Pheem keeps asking about her “buying price.” She doesn’t know who Phakinee is yet. She might’ve interpreted it as Pheem questioning why she is an escort in the first place. It disappoints her because everyone looks down on her for what she does, including this woman now.
After all the sweet time they spent together on the beach, that realisation must’ve been heartrending.
And I think this is where Parn’s insecurity about their situationship starts to take root—the first of many misunderstandings between them.
Love drunk Lena btw.

I’m a bit late here 😅
I was trying to finish the novel because I wanted to understand the characters better—and honestly, I might have enjoyed reading it more than I expected. 🥹
Both Pheem and Pan are interesting characters, but Pheem is definitely the more multidimensional one.
I tried my best to understand Pheem and why she acts the way she does.
