Synopsis
The story of Ae (Tanapon Sukumpantanasan), a freshman from Engineering School and also a member of the college football team, who accidentally helps Pete (Suppapong Udomkaewkanjana), a handsome freshman from International College, from his ex-boyfriend who's blackmailing Pete with a clip that exposes his homosexuality to Pete's mother. Ae helps Pete without expecting anything in return, but he doesn't know Pete's already greatly drawn by his kindness and gentle nature and has begun to develop feelings for him. Unbeknownst to Pete, Ae is also drawn to Pete's innocence and immense kindness. But Pete is wary and knows painfully well that he's different than many other boys due to his sexuality. He feels he would rather keep his feelings hidden than destroy his new friendship with Ae. However, with time and patience their relationship starts to grow and they become closer than either of them could have ever imagined.
