#so the friend is called Phu and is played by Chan Phuliwat

[nightnightsleeptight]

This is interesting and I was mulling over this one for a while before I briefly mentioned it in an MDL post while updating my episode count!

I don’t think the name on the phone is a mistake, and here’s why! Deep breath!

<Start post!

When First texts Sprite, the Line profile photo of the person he texts has a jiujitsu uniform.

Uh oh - Sprite forgot to switch to the right account! Do you know what I’m strangely reminded of? When Daniel and Crystal from Lookism in their chaotic body swapping lives go to school in the wrong bodies! I digress, but I thought First would figure it out in the earlier episodes because of a few thoughtful moments he had after interacting with Sprite and the background music choices for said moments.

Next, there’s Sprite’s cryptic behaviour when he hugs him then lies down in his lap. Sprite’s hinting heavily that not everything is as it seems and First should be able to read into that! (I was gonna make a screenshot collage of this scene but I gave up on Canva - please do recommend me anything else to use in my inbox lol <3)

Then, we go to the shopping centre date (we all know that was a date, let’s be real!)

Sprite’s friend calls his name, and because Sprite is stupid enough to turn around and acknowledge him, First obviously questions this.

Sprite, acting in the LEAST bait way (sarcasm), denies, dashes and drags First away with him (ooh alliteration, I like that!)

My possible logical conclusions thus with all the evidence are these:

1. First is a dense idiot (doubtful from evidence)

2. First is too in love to doubt Sprite (possible but doubtful from evidence again)

3. First wants to pretend his instincts are wrong (possible)

4. First wants to let Sprite tell him truth (probable and I hope this is the case!)

First should be able to put two and two together with “Zee” and his suspicious behaviour after he first missed practice, insisted on moving back in with him, and trying to get close to him and the whole team. Sprite is such a goofball you’d have to wonder what happened to change the cold Zee to such a character… unless there was a twin swap! Hell, even if you go on JUST the events of episode 8 outlined above, you could guess that perhaps there's some dodgy business going on here!

I think that First knows. He’s either pretending not to know because he doesn’t want to believe it, or because he wants to give Sprite a chance to come clean. The latter seems more likely to me because of the way he asks Sprite where he is after seeing the handover with Salmon. He wants to be understanding and probably doesn't want to push Sprite so hard that the progress and trust they had gets lost.

Start my own notes!

Hello! Night here! :D What do you think of the tag open and close that I did with the <start post end post>? Should I close both tags and do a </> around the end post instead?

Apologies, but I really wanted to make this a longer post - I shouldn’t have left it so close to the next episode lol! I initially wrote this as a comment but it became too long. If only I was as invested in making gifs on a whim for other shows like I am with this one - I have a few screen recordings from Invisible (Japan, 2022) which I made months ago and I remember a scene from flipping Fahlanruk that I wanted to make a meme out of 👀😭

I really need to sleep - 00:45 here! Night night, sleep tight wonderful people and thank you so much if you read this <3

P.S. I WAS THINKING OF GUMPA FROM NOT ME BUT FORGOT TO MENTION IT!!! Surely he’d not teach someone who’s a volleyball expert all over unless HE KNOWS THEY’RE NOT A VOLLEYBALL EXPERT!!! (Edit at 00:47)

So.. First already knows that the man he's in love with is Sprite and not Zee, right?

I can't believe that in a show purposely based on SWITCHING TWINS they'd do such silly mistakes as to put the wrong twin name in the call graphic.
