Not wanting to accept what had happened, Fong pulls out a sharp knife and slits her wrists, forcing Thap to never leave her, until present day. Thap leaves the place with Fong without caring for Nanno. The next secret Nanno reveals is that Thap was having an affair with Fong's best friend, Proud, which makes Fong furious and began beating her best friend. Thap stops their brawl and angrily pushes Fong to the ground. However, it was revealed that Fong was 3 months pregnant with their child and ended up having a miscarriage due to the incident. The last secret Nanno reveals is that she had injected poison in their drinks; and the only cure is in her hands. Everybody starts fighting each other over the cure. Eventually, Chai injects the cure in himself. Not wanting to die, the ones left alive started stabbing Chai and proceeded to drink a portion of his blood.
