Type Thiwat is a handsome freshman with a passion for football and spicy food. Although he is a friendly boy, he hates gay people because, in his childhood, he was molested by a male worker at his family's resort. His life turns upside down when the new academic year of college brings along a charismatic roommate, Tharn Kirigun. Tharn is a gorgeous, compassionate music major, who is also openly gay. When Type learns this, he is determined to make Tharn leave the dorm, as he refuses to live with a gay person. Tharn is equally determined not to give into Type's homophobic demands and tantrums. The tension between the two increases as they explore romantic, and eventually sexual, dimensions of their relationship.
