In the gripping twelfth episode of "Sunset X Vibes," a heart-stopping reversal of fortune unfolds as Lin dexterously retrieves the invaluable jewelry amidst the looming threat of Kaew, who lurks in her car, her thoughts consumed by the urgent imperative to disrupt the necklace's journey towards the glittering, international jewelry exposition. However, fate intervenes in a dramatic twist, as a enigmatic figure catches Lin mid-tumble, halting her fall.
Kaew, in a frantic sprint against time, sends her vehicle crashing with reckless abandon, only to abandon it in a desperate leap, her fingers clamped around the alluring jewelry case. As she fights to escape the encroaching danger, Sun emerges from the velvety darkness, relentless in his pursuit, his determination a dark shadow that refuses to be shaken off.
The scene crackles with tension, each character's every move fraught with consequences, painting a vivid picture of a high-stakes chase where the fate of the exquisite jewels hangs in the balance.
In a parking garage's shadowy embrace, Kaew confronts Korn, her distrust palpable as she hands over the case. Korn, his promises of riches tinged with deceit, allures her with visions of CEOship and dark market bonuses. Yet, his treachery is exposed when he seizes the case and trains a gun on her. Just as the trigger is about to be pulled, Sun, a knight in shining armor, leaps into action, their struggle climaxing with the arrival of the police, who secure the case in Sun's capable hands.
Back at home, Lin reclines on the sofa, only to be roused by Sun's anxious recount of the daring rescue. Lin's faith in Sun as his guardian angel is instant and unwavering. Meanwhile, at the office, Chan regales the design team with a vivid narrative of Sun's heroic deeds, his ninja-like prowess leaving them awestruck.
Later, at Sun's abode, a transformation unfolds as Lin is dressed in a cropped jacket, his skin glistening beneath the fabric, while Sun slips into his signature dark suit. Amidst quirky camera angles and tantalizing sound effects, Sun receives his due reward for safeguarding Lin.
The evening ushers in the grand world jewelry event, where Sun's mother and Lin's father, as the esteemed hotel proprietor, warmly welcome the elite attendees. Sun and Lin, their entrance met with cheers from their team, are swept away by eager interns to behold the grandeur of the exhibition. Lin, increasingly jittery amidst the glitz and glamour, finds solace in a brief escape outside, only to be gently coaxed back by Sun's reassuring words and promises of a reward to come.
On the runway, models parade exquisite jewelry, each piece a testament to craftsmanship. As Lin, the culmination of the show, graces the stage in a flowing jacket adorned with his dazzling necklace, the audience erupts in thunderous applause. And so, Sunset x Vibes, Soul's masterpiece, triumphantly claims the prestigious award.
Suriyen, alias Sun, is summoned to the forefront to accept the accolade on behalf of Soul High Jewelry. In a heartfelt speech, he acknowledges his mother's nurturing, the design team's ingenuity, and the necklace's creator, Salin, with profound gratitude. Backstage, amidst the hustle and bustle, Sun tenderly massages Lin's weary feet, their bond deepening with each passing moment. As intimacy threatens to overtake them, Lin gracefully excuses himself to change, only to find himself ensnared in the intricacies of his attire. Sun, ever the gentleman, offers assistance, but Lin, his desires flaring, insists on reversing roles, and soon, the tide of affection turns, sweeping them both into an inevitable embrace.
Triumphantly reporting to the board, Sun secures their approval with ease. He deftly reassigns Sam to helm the design team amidst Kaew's departure, ensuring continuity. Meanwhile, in the bustling design office, Lin, Yo, and Pim meticulously pack their belongings, marking the end of their enriching internship. As they bid adieu to their cherished teammates, Sun unexpectedly summons them, only to gently carry Lin's box for him, a gesture filled with warmth.
As they disperse, Sam's footsteps linger behind Yo, while Prim offers Pim a ride home, their camaraderie palpable. By Yo's abode, tender kisses blossom between them, painting the air with a blush of affection. Meanwhile, Pim bravely seeks Prim's signature, once denied as a freshman, reciprocating the "I love yous" in various tongues, echoing their youthful bond. Raindrops momentarily interrupt their embrace but find them rekindling their intimacy within the confines of a car.
Elsewhere, in the office's serene recesses, Chan and Juladis steal a moment of intimacy in the restroom, only to scatter like startled deer upon encountering Juladis' father, a fellow employee.
Sun escorts Lin to the serene lake of his dreams, a jewelry box clutched in his hand. As they stand there, the vision of Lord Suriyen, half-naga, arises, explaining the intricate ties of karma that bind them. Lin, with heartfelt remorse, presents Suriyen with a necklace, a meticulous replica of Sidarin's gift, seeking absolution. Amidst the echoes of Sidarin's voice, Suriyen reciprocates with kindness, freeing Lin from his burden. He then entrusts Lin to Sun's care, symbolizing a new chapter.
Returning to Sun's elegant estate, Sun presents Lin with a necklace crafted from the same radiant gem that inspired Lin's design. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Sun questions himself, only to be reassured by Lin's unwavering loyalty. With renewed confidence, Sun extends a job offer at Soul post-graduation, and Lin, though contemplative, finds himself drawn to the opportunity. Sun seals the deal with an irresistible perk—his own presence.
As the interns celebrate their graduation, Lin's voiceover resonates with nostalgia, recounting unforgettable memories and the beauty of love found along the way. Sun, ever the considerate one, grants Lin a few precious days of solitude before embarking on his new journey at Soul, only to swiftly whisk him away into the embrace of their shared future.
